The Geng family has a lot of good things going on, and the good thing about marrying his wife and son is nothing. The biggest good thing is that the eldest son Geng Zhangguangqiu passed the imperial examination.
For ordinary families these days, winning the election is a change of family, a change of class, a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, and it is the most joyful event worthy of boasting.
For families of scholar-bureaucrats, it is equally important to have children in the family who win the imperial examination, as it means there are successors.
It is really not easy to pass the exam. This is evident from the fact that Wen Yuming, who was famous all over the world for his talent and talent, failed the exam nine times.
Geng Zhangguang not only won the exam, but also ranked among the best. He was worthy of being a unicorn in Geng Ruchi's eyes.
Survival from death must lead to future blessings. Lao Geng is extremely happy these days and wants to celebrate well.
There must be guests for the banquet. Geng Zhanghua, who had just returned a few days ago, was assigned by his father to go to the base area to invite Huang Yi to the Xuan Mansion for the banquet.
The date of the wedding banquet has not been determined, so Geng Zhanghua will have to wait for Huang Yi to arrive at Xuanfu.
Geng Ruqi said harsh words, and if Huang Yiruruo still refuses to come, the Geng family will have nothing to do with him from now on!
There is a reason why Lao Geng is unhappy.
Geng Ruqi, who made a comeback, further became the powerful Governor of Xuanda, and there were so many dignitaries and noble families who followed him.
Too many scholar-bureaucrats of the same rank hoped to have a political marriage with the Geng family.
Therefore, the matter of choosing a son-in-law for the Geng family was discussed in the streets of Zhangjiakou and Xuanfu, and wealthy families from all walks of life came to the matter.
During this period, the Geng family was under pressure and rejected many people who came specially to propose marriage, including some powerful people from South Zhili.
The reason is sufficient, not only can it make the person proposing marriage less resentful, but it can also build a good reputation.
If you receive a drop of kindness from someone, you should repay it with a spring of water! It is a Chinese virtue.
See true love in times of crisis, live in wealth and honor, and never forget each other! The Geng family values love and justice!
The old lady speaks well and must use her discretion when rejecting the matchmaker.
My aunt has no scruples, bragging is a must. Besides, she has personally seen Huang Yi, who is tall, powerful and well-spoken.
I especially hope that my daughter can marry such a heroic man and leave no room for words.
So many people know that the Geng family’s daughters do not climb high, that the Geng family does not dislike the poor and loves the rich, and that the Geng family does not discriminate against warriors.
After the words were released, the people were full of praise. However, they still don't know Huang Yi's attitude, and they haven't seen Huang Yi ask anyone to be a matchmaker.
Lao Geng didn't know why his daughter's marriage had spread all over the city. The most outrageous rumor was that the Geng family planned to betroth both their unmarried daughters to Huang Yi in order to repay their kindness.
So Lao Geng can't wait any longer and must see Huang Yi as soon as possible to interview him.
It's a pity that Huang Yi can't sit still. After the autumn grain is stored in the warehouse, he doesn't have to worry about the base area being suddenly attacked and causing heavy losses. Of course, he has to attack the thirty-six Kalaqin family who are the masterminds.
There are many benefits to choosing this time to attack. If you win, you will be able to weaken the enemy and strengthen yourself.
No matter what tribe, no matter how big or small, they always have to store food for the winter.
If you attack them, even if you can't surround them and annihilate them, as long as they take away all the food and take away the yurts, the tribe being attacked is equivalent to being wiped out.
The lion should fight the rabbit with all his strength!
The base city already has a single stone wall of two feet and two feet high, guarded by eight hundred auxiliary soldiers and eight hundred militiamen. Five thousand Mongolian cavalry were killed and all looked at the city and sighed!
Among the Mongolian tribes that were no more than a thousand miles away from the base, the only one who could organize five thousand cavalry was Lin Dan Khan, the wife-sending king.
Huang Yi is an ally of Hedanbaatar. In theory, he and Lin Danhan are the same people and there has been no friction between them.
How could he not gain anything by insisting on personal patrols and exploring the surrounding areas personally? He knew all the tribes within three hundred miles, big and small, like the back of his hand?
Too many Mongolian herders who strayed into the base area were subdued and became Huang Yi's people.
Rangers and explorers from other tribes cannot approach at all, and the herdsmen in the base area may capture them directly.
Because Huang Yi had already issued an order and the patrol team publicized it to the herdsmen. For every Tanma captured, he would be rewarded with an iron pot, a stone of wheat, and thirty kilograms of soju.
Reporting the news in time allowed the patrol to capture Tan Ma, and the herdsman who reported the news received half of the reward.
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and no outsider can get close enough to peek into the base city.
Therefore, Huang Yi could conclude that Lin Danhan did not know that there was a base here. With a city, it was impossible to send people to ask for offerings in a short time.
Offerings are equivalent to protection fees and taxes.
Is he worthy just to send his wife to the king?
Huang Yi would have to fall out with Hu Duntu sooner or later. The purpose of blocking the news at this time was to delay the fall out as much as possible. It would be best if Jiannu beat Chahar's subordinates again.
Of the other tribes, only King Bu Shitu of Shunyi is probably able to mobilize more than 5,000 troops, but he must pass through Hu Duntu's territory when he comes to the base area.
Divining Stone Rabbit was defeated by Huduntu. How could he have the courage to provoke him again?
Therefore, Huang Yi can be sure that the base area is safe!
In order to maximize the results, Huang Yi decided to lead 1,400 regular soldiers and 2,800 war horses and draft horses to conquer the Haraqin tribes.
Today is different from the past. Huang Yi's 1,400 regular soldiers all have armor, and all cavalry can wear iron armor lined with cotton armor before going into battle.
Neither the Three Hundred Musketeers nor the One Hundred Archers had iron armor. They all had cotton armor lined with cowhide breastplates.
Practicing archery is much more difficult than practicing using a matchlock gun. You must be physically strong, and preferably have excellent arm strength.
Firearms are the direction of development, so Huang Yi did not select young adults to practice archery. These hundred-step archers all have a basic foundation.
Some of them were archers of the Ming Army, and most of them were hunters who had hunted for a living since childhood.
The two hundred spearmen were of course heavily armed. When fighting, everyone wore three layers of armor, wrapped like an iron man.
The Three Hundred Sword Shield Hands were only equipped with leather armor, half held long cards, held a five-foot-long steel spear in one hand, and carried three four-foot short spears that could be thrown on their backs.
Half use leather shields, one-handed battle axes or ghost-head swords, and there are also three short spears as long-range attack weapons.
One hundred and fifty long cards can form a comprehensive defensive square. There is a gap at the waist of each long card, where is the shining steel spear tip.
Even if the arrows are flying all over the sky as they advance, they will not be able to cause any damage.
When fighting face to face, the phalanx will suddenly split open, and heavily armored warriors with spears measuring 1.2 feet in their hands will burst out, including men and horses.
Immediately afterwards, the sword and shield men came up to chop off the head. Such an attack was impossible for the Mongolian light cavalry to resist.
The most adept tactic of the Mongols is Mangujie. The method to crack it is very simple. The musketeers fire volleys and the infantry archers fire arrows in succession.
The power and range of an arquebus are certainly greater than those of a bow and arrow.
The troops of the Ming Empire using muskets could not defeat the Jiu slaves who mainly relied on bows and arrows. It was not that the matchlock guns were ineffective, but that there was a problem with the people.
The imperial court was so corrupt that it couldn't even pay military salaries. Soldiers were constantly arguing about pay. How could it be possible to pay enough for making firearms?
Craftsmen also need to eat! Where does the food money come from?
Of course a chain reaction occurred!
