As soon as the knight gave the order, many knights rode after her, and some jumped off their horses and brought together all the cattle, sheep and cattle that had been left behind.
The female knight took the reins of her horse and circled around Xia Xun and the four of them, her big eyes were full of hostility, and she looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was born very beautifully, and she was a light Han woman, and she looked strong and strong.
However, the lapels and cuffs of her fur hat and clothes have an inch of "wind", and this snow-white fur decoration adds a bit of charm to her sassy appearance.
Ding Yu, the commander of Dingliao Zhongwei, was looked at by her like a thief, and he couldn't help but be annoyed, and blurted out: "What do you see?"
The female knight snorted, raised her chin slightly, and said disdainfully: "The rules are set by you Han people, but you Han people are greedy for small gains."
Ding Yu was furious and shouted: "What kind of stinky girl are you talking about, get down, whose territory is this, it's your turn to be arrogant" Xia Xun stretched out his hand to stop him, and smiled at the female knight: "Girl, we are not selling livestock, nor are we buying livestock, wander around here and talk casually." ” The knight glared at him and ignored him, apparently taking his words as a pretext, and not believing him at all.
Then one of the knights returned, and one of them took off his fur hat, and his hair hung down, and his earlobes were silver rings, and his forehead was slightly stained with sweat, and he said to the woman in a loud voice, "Now, these people are very slippery, and they have fled in all directions." ” The knightess snorted, pulled her horse and said, "Go, bring back the captured livestock."
A group of people drove the cattle and sheep away, Xia Xun looked at their backs, and asked Chu Bingbei suspiciously: "What are these people doing?"
Chu Bingbei is an official of this city, and if he wants to say that he knows about this place, he is the only one among the four people who knows.
Chu Bingbei said: "Judging from this situation, these people who sell livestock have all taken the trail to avoid Hada City and sneaked into Kaiyuan, which is not in accordance with the law, so when they saw the people who had the right to rectify them, they had no choice but to flee." ” Xia Xun said: "These knights seem to be Hu people, have you hired people in this city to rectify the city?"
Chu Bingbei said with a smile: "No, the ministry doesn't know, after the Jurchen and Mongolian tribes were annexed one after another, they often traded with our Han people and exchanged ideas, and as a result, these people either evaded taxes, or were deceived by Han merchants, and there were people who had disputes due to language barriers, and there were short-tempered and conflicts, and there were people who were offended because of different folk customs and fought because of different folk customs, which is really unbearable."
Later, the imperial court came up with a way to control Hu with Hu, and selected a few powerful tribes in the Jurchen tribes as the lords to control the Yi people.
Today's Hada City is a tribe designated by my Ming Dynasty to control the Yi people, and they have a prestige among the Fan people, so they can live in mediation, control the horse market, and inspect and release the brigade, which saves the government a lot of trouble.
At the same time, they are more familiar with the situation of the Fanren tribes in various places than we are, and the Hu people of each tribe are friends or enemies with my Ming Dynasty, and they only need to interrogate them to know.
Hada City is outside Guangshun Pass, which is the front line of Guangshun Pass and Jing'an Fort, and with them in the way, they can directly block the invading enemy from the north, and the safety of Guangshun Pass and Jing'an Fort, which is the original border wall of our Kaiyuan, will also be of great help. ” "But there are always people who want to evade taxes and take advantage of them, or people from tribes hostile to my Ming Dynasty, and they also need to exchange some necessities for life, but they can't be accommodated in Hada City, so they take a small road around Hada City, and go straight into my Kaiyuan City to trade with the Han people, and their goods are cheaper than those purchased from Hada City, so " Speaking of this, Chu Bingbei laughed and said, "The people who escaped just now are all smugglers who have avoided Hada City, and that woman thinks that we are Han merchants who have come to buy smuggled goods, so she is quite hostile to you and me.
But seeing that we are Han Chinese, she doesn't dare to do anything to us, if you and I are wearing Hu clothes today, then we will suffer, but I am afraid that they will take us back and be punished together. ” "Oh I see" Xia Xun did not expect that there is a prosperous place of commerce and trade in the vicinity, to say that the taste of the mountains and soils outside the customs is very popular with the people in the Guan, Kaiyuan is an important town in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and should not even be left out in the cold here in the market, it turns out that this place is only used as a barracks, and there is another place dedicated to trading.
Xia Xun was in high spirits and said happily: "Okay, if I have a chance, I have to go to Hada City to see and understand."
Chu Bingbei and Ding Dusi and others looked at each other, this grandfather of the country came to Liaodong by order to be the governor of Liaodong military affairs, but when he arrived in Liaodong, he was neither busy with decorating armaments, nor was he in a hurry to strictly enforce military discipline, let alone presiding over military exercises, what were he busy with Xia Xun was not indifferent to Liaodong military affairs, he had done a lot of investigations before he came to Liaodong, from Liaoyang to Kaiyuan via Shenyang, and he also listened to a large number of reports along the way, and had a basic understanding of Liaodong military affairs.
In his view, the military stationing, the allocation of troops, and the composition of various branches of the armed forces in various parts of Liaodong have all been tested by a long period of war, and even if they were somewhat irrational in the beginning, they have gradually become more reasonable in the tempering and encouragement of war.
He Xia Xun was not born in the army, can he be more clever than those outstanding generals who have served as the guards of Liaodong Town since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so that a person who has never entered a military academy and led a soldier, can come here to point fingers, and he can make a great change in the Liaodong army, is there such a person in the world?
The reason why Xia Xun has been able to do everything he has undertaken until now is not because he is an all-rounder, but because he knows his abilities very well and knows how to develop his strengths and avoid weaknesses.
For things that he is really not good at, he only generals, not generals, never point fingers, and directly interfere in the affairs of the lower level by passing over the officials below.
To change the situation in Liaodong, we need a stable environment, stability needs the army to guarantee, the main problem of the army is not combat effectiveness now, it is far from the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers stationed in Tun are almost ordinary peasants, the combat effectiveness is sharply weakened, a Tartar can deal with seven or eight Ming soldiers stationed in the era of the army, now in most cases, it is the Ming army chasing the Tartar's butt beating.
Take this Tatar attack and plundering 30,000 guards as an example, if Shen Yong could send troops in time, they would never dare to attack 30,000 guards for two days and one night, even if Shen Yong did not send troops, they also ran away after plundering, and ran to a place hundreds of miles away in one go.
Zhu Di dared to send him to Liaodong, who was not very familiar with military affairs, especially the combat experience of the northern nomads was far less than Qiu Fu, and obviously foresaw this result, so if Xia Xun just wanted to make this imperial mission beautiful, it was very easy, he just rushed to Liaodong, beheaded Shen Yong, told the nine sides, and strictly disciplined the military, and then with the 50,000 elite soldiers he brought, he would transfer a few people from near Kaiyuan to kill them into the desert and burn and kill a few Tartar tribes, then he could return to Beijing in triumph.
As soon as this matter was rendered and publicized, the emperor praised it again, and in the future, it was Yang Xu, the Duke of the Auxiliary Kingdom, who suppressed the Japanese and beat the Tartars, and the Ming generation of Ming generals From this point of view, Zhu Di is very interesting to this brother-in-law.
Xia Xun is taking the initiative to increase the difficulty of the task for himself, now a series of problems shown in Liaodong are not fatal, maybe it will take one or two hundred years, hidden dangers can gradually appear, and now, the Ming State is in a strong state, Tatar and Warat have just been established, it is also the best time to correct these Liaodong policy deviations, at this time to correct it, twice the result with half the effort, if you wait until the year of Chongzhen, change the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Sect and Song Zu to sit in Chongzhen's seat, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the sky.
The current matter also needs to be considered, but that is not the focus of Xia Xun's heart, he has already arranged for his subordinates to do it, one thing is to investigate and collect evidence Shen Yong saw death and let the Tatars plunder, this matter has the impeachment of the young imperial envoy, and the human and physical evidence of Temur, in fact, it is enough, Xia Xun deliberately delayed to find out how many cronies Shen Yong has in Liaodong, and whether it has reached the point where he can hinder himself.
Another thing is to understand the situation of the Tatar tribes who plundered the 30,000 Wei, find out their exact location, and strike at them with a thunderous force, which is a major event that shocks the small and boosts the morale of the people, but there is no need for him to talk about these things, and the local Han and Mongolian Jurchen people look at actions, not rhetoric.
After Xia Xun went back, he explained one more thing to Qianlong and knew everything about Hada City.
Qianlong originally didn't have much eyeliner in Liaodong, the land here was vast and sparsely populated, an outsider, even if he had been trained by Mrs.
Xizhu and Xie Xie, all of them were good at camouflage and good at dealing with strangers, it was not easy to gain a firm foothold here and find out enough information, but the maturing Qianlong spy still handed in a satisfactory answer to Xia Xun, and after only a few days, the information he wanted was in front of him.
They inquired about the location of the Tatar tribe that raided and plundered 30,000 guards, the Tatar tribe is a large tribe of more than 20,000 people, and there are more than 4,000 young and strong warriors in the tribe.
Xia Xun immediately dispatched troops and began detailed deployment.
The generals of the Liaodong guards received orders from the governor Jun one after another: ordering them to immediately lead their cavalry to Kaiyuan City to report before the agreed deadline, and those who did not arrive within the time limit would be beheaded With the 50,000 elite soldiers brought by Xia Xun from the pass, to go to suppress such a Tatar tribe, the strength is enough, not to mention that there are three guards and one army in Kaiyuan to mobilize, but Xia Xun gathered all the cavalry of Zhuwei, because in this battle, his purpose is not to crush, defeat, repel, chase and flee the enemy, but to completely erase this tribe from the outside of the fortress It is said that Yang Xu, the prince of Fuguo, stewed pork noodles in Liaodong is either oden or oden, and he must say that "turtle calves, things, and looking for cuts are not" Then he became obsessed with the Northeast Duo Zhuan, and after returning to Jinling, he came to Zhu Di, who asked him what he had achieved from his trip to Liaodong Xia Xun said: "Alas, Mom, let me tell you, Your Majesty, the whole Gada is a wilderness, standing in any corner of the city and shouting a voice of Northern Shaanxi Xintianyou, the echo will be returned" and then performed the Northeast two-person turn, and Zhu Laosi, who did not know the truth, was cold, and there were several black lines on his forehead To be continued:
