In June, when the grassland was full of vitality, Lu Hanqiang took his 500 "family members" to ride a little red horse and twist and twist, bypassed Taiyuan, and came to Yanmen.
When he came to Yanmen, it was not Jin Hengguang who came out to greet him, but Chen Che.
Seeing that there was only one respectful Chen Che and the few soldiers behind him, this made Lu Hanqiang dare to be surprised.
"Hengguang, why didn't he come out, and why are there so few soldiers in Yanmen, it won't be that kid who eats empty quotas."
This is not to blame, nor is it Lu Hanqiang's arrangement, he is now dressed in cloth, he does not have an official position, let a third-grade senior official come to greet him in person, he has not shown himself to that extent, but he is curious why Jin Hengguang is not there.
As for eating empty amounts, Lu Hanqiang is just joking, because now the Yanmen border army does not have the military salary of one or two silver and a grain of rice from the imperial court, and they all rely on self-sufficiency to live.
"Mr.
Qiyu, Jin Shoubei went into the grassland with a large group of men."
Chen Che didn't dare to regard Lu Hanqiang as a common man in cloth, he still answered Lu Hanqiang's question respectfully.
Lu Hanqiang looked at the direction of the grassland, pinched his chin and nodded very gratifyingly: "Yes, it's a good time in June, it's still a good choice to go out and loot, it seems that the looting habit I cultivated at the beginning is still effective." ” Chen Che hurriedly corrected Lu Hanqiang's judgment: "Mr. misunderstood. ” "What did I misunderstand," Lu Hanqiang asked in confusion.
Chen Che explained with a smile: "Sir, since you mobilized millions of border soldiers and border people to loot the grassland last year, a fire burned almost all the living beings on the grassland, and the remaining remnants of the tribe fled to the north. ” Lu Hanqiang smiled with relief, but still said with regret: "It seems that my fire is too hard, I should leave some for everyone to rob, this is really, good people are dead, let us robbers who will go, but I like it." ” When he said this, he couldn't help but cause a burst of laughter from the people around him.
"Since there are no living beings in the grassland, then what else is he Jin Hengguang going to do" Lu Hanqiang tilted his head and asked.
"The adults set a fire, although they burned the old dead grass, but fertilized the fertile soil of the grassland, and the most rare thing is that there was a rain at the beginning of spring this year, and the grass rose crazy."
Chen Che reported with joy on his face.
Lu Hanqiang laughed, as the so-called wildfire burns inexhaustibly, the spring breeze blows and grows, and that rain in a drought year is actually his masterpiece, a fire changed a microclimate, flying soot, condensed the water vapor in the air, that's it, in this way, is it necessary to come to such a time every year haha, I didn't expect that I was also a dragon lord.
It's hard to come by.
"The grassland is fertile and pasture, and there is no threat from the Tartars, so the people of the border pass drove the cattle and sheep that were stolen in the first year to the grassland, sir, you look at the grassland now, there are clouds of cattle and sheep everywhere, and there are happy pastoral songs of the Han people everywhere, it is really a picture of wealth and beauty."
When he said this, Chen Che's eyes were squinted, his face was rich, and the faces of the soldiers of Yanmen were rich and his eyes were squinted "The Jin garrison was afraid that the Tartars who would slip through the net robbed us, so he took five thousand brothers directly into the grassland and went to the north to camp five hundred miles away, so now I am staying here, mainly responsible for the logistics and transfer of the brothers."
"Advance five hundred miles, so far" Lu Hanqiang asked in surprise, this is equivalent to advancing the border to the north for five hundred miles, and expanding the territory is nothing more than that.
"Not only is the gold garrison so, no one has ordered, the nine towns along the border are all pushed north, everyone's morale is high, it doesn't matter if you open up the territory or not, as long as you graze cattle and sheep for the family behind you and grab the grassland, everyone has no complaints about the hard work."
"This is very good, now the emperor still doesn't give everyone military salaries, money and food, so they all live on the cattle and sheep they looted last year."
Lu Hanqiang was very relieved that his actions had finally lifted the threat of the northern Ming Dynasty, and let the Ming Dynasty, which was facing enemies on all sides, open a window for breath.
The current Ming is no longer the original Ming.
Chen Che said with a smile: "It's June, the first batch of lambs and calves and foals have been born, and because the pastures are vast and the pastures are fat, the lambs and foals are as long as crazy, and now, it has attracted countless businessmen to chase to the grassland, and buy cattle and sheep in the hands of the people and sell them in the customs, so even if there is no grain and a tael of silver in the imperial court, everyone's life is several times better than in previous years, this is really Mr.
To's gift." ” Lu Hanqiang is a little proud, this is good, as long as the people can be kept alive and the border army can attack spontaneously, then the virtuous circle that he is looking forward to will be realized, so that the good habits in the future will be completely cultivated, this is called, the little bandit's cultivation plan is more than the Nasa cultivation plan.
Since the situation is so good, Lu Hanqiang moved his mind to enter the grassland, so he said to Chen Dao: "I won't stay in your Yanmen anymore, I'll go to the grassland to have a look, by the way, take a look at the place where we fought at the beginning, and look at the brothers buried in the grassland." ” At the beginning, he led 3,000 troops into the grassland, but only these 500 brothers remained, and Chen Liang chased into the grassland with only 4,000 brothers left, which can be described as a heavy loss, but it is also worth it, after all, for the Han people, for the border army, for the imperial court to lay down this 500 miles to the north, and remove the threat from the north, it is necessary to write a letter to Chongzhen, so that he is also happy, after all, a generation of emperors, who does not want to expand the territory This is actually telling him that his original crime was wrong, and he also reversed the case for himself in disguise, and slapped those Donglin faces.
Slap in the face, this thing must be done.
Lu Hanqiang wrote a letter to Chongzhen, and now it is not called a recital, because now Lu Hanqiang has no official except for a companion who is not an official, and now the contact is the exchange between classmates and classmates.
In this letter, Lu Hanqiang described in detail the current situation of the nine sides, and pointed out that the new atmosphere of the current nine border soldiers is also a disguised reclamation and expansion of the border, so he described the experience of the production and construction corps of General Wang Zhen in detail in later generations, so that Chongzhen could see a new way of thinking.
When he put the thick pile of letters into the envelope, Lu Hanqiang shook his head helplessly, this is really eating the people's food, the heart of Shoufu, why did he come here. t1706231537:
