"This morning, the Beijing camp mobilized troops again. Three thousand cavalry went north early in the morning. The army is still leaving camp."
"The Lantern Festival is not even out yet, so we are not allowed to live our lives!"
"I heard that the mobilization order was issued last night. The boy next door to my house was also mobilized. He may be sending grain to the north. Is Boarhide taking action at this time? Is he crazy?"
"Whether Boar Skin is crazy or not, we don't know, but if this continues, we have to go crazy first!"
When we woke up early in the morning, there were a lot of discussions in Tai'an City, and the feeling of the new year that was not much after the festival was wiped out. There was no way, the movement in the Beijing camp was too loud, anyone who was not deaf could hear the sound of the cavalry leaving the city early in the morning.
An eventful spring!
The army marched south in the twelfth lunar month and marched north in the first lunar month. Everything indicates that this year will be difficult.
…
A carriage with escorts drove past the street, and the Jinwu Guards were arranged next to Fang Yue. They did not disband because of the cancellation of their status as Guanzheng, but instead increased their number to a hundred.
From the first to the thirteenth day of the lunar month, for twelve days, Lao Pu emphasized once every time that Fang Fang was not sleeping, at least a team of people, that is, ten people, not counting the Li brothers and Xiao Hu.
If you leave the city, you must lead at least three teams. The Li brothers will be responsible for this matter. Fang Fang directly accepts it and cannot refute it.
"Master Fang! Master Fang!"
The carriage entered the winery from the side door, and all the second-generation Xuns greeted him one after another.
Fang Fang is an advocate, planner, and executor of futures. However, he originally had no official position. Baihu, the Colonel of the Documents Department, is an honorary title. It would be great if he can be matched with a team of people. He can rise to the top in one step and serve as a seventh-grade or above, but my sister , Lao Pu, and Lao Xia all objected to this.
Therefore, there is no official position in the Husi of Guangchang County. Everyone calls him "Fangshi" and respects Fangfang's position in the team.
"We've all come together, let's get started!"
"Everyone should understand the movement in the morning. The grassland ministries must be ready to make moves now. It depends on whether the Jurchens can open up the situation. What we and the border troops are doing are the same thing, which is to close the door. They are closing the border city gate. What’s about is the ambition of the aliens, but what we’re about is their greed!”
Regardless of why the Jurchens took action, it will definitely affect the futures layout, but it still has to be done.
Can't retreat!
Success or failure is just the result. No one in this world can guarantee success, but giving in is about attitude, and you have to bite the bullet.
Fang Fang looked serious, "Our idea is very simple, that is to fight with the fast and the slow, and use money to break away their ambition-blinded minds!"
"There is no basis for what you say, everyone is tired of eating the empty pie, and no one will do the business that wastes time and money!"
"We won't be making cakes for you now, but I want to see what those wallflowers will choose!"
The Jurchen held a butcher's knife in his hand, why didn't the warrior carry a weapon?
Those tribes in the buffer zone are seeking survival and profit. At most, they want to be strong and prosperous, so they don't even think about buying and selling.
Now it depends on which side offers more benefits and is more practical.
Just for sale!
"Our funds are limited. Once the big pie is implemented, we can't do other things!" Yushenke reminded in a low voice.
"Then let's see how we pancakes!"
"How about pancakes? It's not interesting for us to just bake them. We don't want to feel involved. People will not cherish the direct benefits without paying for them. Therefore, the best way is to let them participate. My idea is to pull people's heads, throw away a piece of meat, and let those who live on the wall have nothing to do with it. Go grab it yourself!”
"We don't decide on the pasture first. We first get the lambs. A prairie lamb costs one tael of silver, regardless of the source. Once it is delivered, we will give it to you. As long as the lamb is delivered to the place specified by us, we will distribute the money in full. But we have to set time!"
"After we get the lambs, we will divide the playground. If the tribe sends more, we will give the pasture to them. The same goes for the sheepherders!"
"The main one, whoever pays, gets the meat!"
A wave of landslides wiped out millions of cattle and sheep. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, lambs and calves died directly in their stomachs.
Except for the Wu Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, none of the imperial powers in the Central Plains were able to send imperial power to the countryside, let alone control the nomadic peoples freely. You don't need to think about it to know that by this time, the depths of the Xianbei grassland were already in chaos.
Once the news spreads that one tael of silver and one lamb is given, a bucket of boiling oil will be poured directly into the fire.
"If we do this, there will be a lot of trouble deep in the grassland!" Huang An licked his tongue.
"The trouble won't burn us. The bigger the fire is, the more trouble the Jurchens will have. Anyway, we don't need to pay for it?"
Fang Fang looked indifferent, which really made people take a deep breath.
Why go to war after a catastrophe?
The upper level transfers conflicts, relieves pressure, and consumes the population, while the lower level is very direct... seeking survival.
Nowadays, if the price of a lamb is one or two cents, you don’t have to wonder how the disaster-stricken herdsmen will choose.
Joining the army is a gamble on life, but in addition to luck, whether you bet on success also depends on someone else's hand. If you are unlucky, you will die. If you are lucky enough to survive and make military achievements, the profit will also be someone else's hand. It's disgusting.
But if you just catch sheep in exchange for money, the situation is different.
When you get the money, you can exchange it for something directly at the household market, and then come back again.
If you can’t get the money, what’s the worst possible outcome and you’ll join the army?
As for being captured to join the army, the grassland is vast and there is no way to hide anyone there. If we really want to capture people to join the army, we won’t be able to form a Jurchen army next year.
"We just need to control the pace. At the same time, this is also about building trust. The more money we spend, the more credibility we will build. In troubled times, it is worse than bad. We don't need to do too well. We just need to do better than the Jurchens." Just be beautiful!”
The second generation looked at each other.
"The news I got is that the Xianbei people are the most severely affected by this wave of landslides, followed by the Jurchens. I don't think I need to explain what the Jurchens do to these two types of people!"
After Huang An finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
Today in the Xianbei grassland, the Jurchens with the smallest number are the upper class, and the Xianbei people with the largest number are the lower class. If a girl loses her property, she is not even considered a human being.
Hearing this, the eyes of the second generation of Xun met.
They are more or less people who have been on the front line. Even if they have not personally experienced the secret war, they have heard about it. Even if they have not heard the elders of the clan bragging about it, they will talk about it.
"If that's the case, I think some people should take action tomorrow. If the news is spread out as early as possible, the effect will be better!" Xia Heng said, "Of course, there is still a problem!"
"explain!"
"Both guards and horses, I don't think we can all use the frontier troops. We can't intervene in the Beijing camp, but the local garrison can still be mobilized. I personally think that at least 30% of the troops and horses are used, and it is best to use people from the garrison!" Henggan said decisively.
"reason!"
Fang Fang asked.
"You have never seen the border troops. You don't know how high-spirited those people are. Even if they are not in the main battle sequence, a city defender is still very high-spirited. Some of them go to the border for military exploits, and some for revenge. At least nine years During military service, they don’t think about money!”
Xia Heng glanced at everyone, "Everyone knows about this, we just haven't thought about it yet!"
