Perhaps in order to make Ye Mingsheng more aware of the importance of this port to Qilu's future development, Ma Runchuan continued to introduce to Ye Mingsheng the port's superior geographical location, geographical conditions, and the importance of this port in his plan. The positive role that Taogang can play·······················
Unfortunately, Ye Mingsheng, who was an army general, did not have a deep understanding of matters related to the ocean, so he only had a partial understanding of Ma Runchuan's story.
Therefore, although Ma Runchuan spoke eloquently and passionately, he seemed confident and full of good longings for the future after the completion of Taogang construction.
But these did not touch Ye Mingsheng much. Ye Mingsheng said from beginning to end that he would ask the Ministry of Industry to send someone to come over in a while to evaluate the feasibility of their Taogang project!
Ye Mingsheng knows that he is not a genius, let alone an all-rounder, so when dealing with some professional issues, he has his own principle, that is, he does not give blind orders, does not mess around, does not do stupid things like laymen commanding experts, and leaves professional matters to Let professionals do it!
I only evaluate the final results, and it is enough to reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes!
Although Ye Mingsheng is willing to believe what Ma Runchuan says, after all, this is just the word of Ma Runchuan's family. For a project like this that can easily cost millions of taels, it is naturally better to be cautious. After the evaluation by the Ministry of Industry, Ye Mingsheng plans to send the Ministry of Household Affairs to conduct an evaluation. Evaluate how much impact Taogang can have on the economy after it is built!
After the evaluation reports from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs are submitted, Ye Mingsheng will decide whether to invest in the Taogang project... ···
After completing the on-site inspection of Taogang, Ye Mingsheng's inspection of Qilu has come to an end, and he is ready to go to Huainan for further inspection!
At night, Ye Mingsheng's troops also followed the plan and came to Lanshan County, a small county in the south of Qilu, three hundred miles away from Huainan.
Under Ye Mingsheng's instruction, Lanshan County did not hold a large-scale welcome ceremony. It was just that the county magistrate brought some officials from the county government to greet him. Then Ye Mingsheng moved into a mansion that had been prepared.
Ye Mingsheng, who had a simple meal at three o'clock in the morning, asked the maid to get him a basin of foot-washing water to wash his feet before going to bed.
I have been running outside for almost a day today. I took the exam in Koh Tao for about a morning, and then rushed on the road in the afternoon. I basically didn’t rest much at the end of the day. I walked on the road for several hours and walked dozens of miles. Although Ye Mingsheng It's a horse-drawn carriage, but the road is bumpy and tiring.
Just when Ye Mingsheng was about to go to bed, Liu Haibo came over and told him that the magistrate of Lanshan County had sent two fair-skinned and beautiful girls to serve him.
Ye Mingsheng, who was really tired about this, really had no intention of doing so, and immediately waved his hands and prepared to go to bed.
However, just when Ye Mingsheng was already lying on the bed, he heard a sound of three hundred miles rushing from outside the room. Although Ye Mingsheng was a little sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, his inner sense of responsibility was still there. He couldn't help but ask:
"Where did the urgent message come from? Send it in quickly!"
Liu Haibo, who was standing outside the door at a loss as to whether he should disturb Ye Mingsheng or not. Liu Haibo, who had sent the urgent message in, immediately had a backbone after hearing Ye Mingsheng's voice. He quickly opened the door and presented the urgent message to Ye Mingsheng. Ming Sheng preached in front of him:
"Tell me, Marshal, this is news from Yi Jing. It is said to be related to information from the grassland..."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Mingsheng immediately took the urgent letter and started reading it. After just reading the beginning, Ye Mingsheng's expression also showed some joy.
Xun Ke, who led the Third Army to the grassland, received good news. A few months ago, after Jamuka knew that Ye Mingsheng had sent troops to kill him, he felt that he could not escape this time. With a knife on his head, this guy would just do it with Ye Mingsheng!
Because among the Luobei tribe, many people have their own pride and history.
The great Zhou Dynasty had a deep blood feud, so he could not accept that Ibugele, as the Great Khan, would surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Jamukha also caught the psychology of these people and strongly attacked Ibugele and betrayed Luo Bei!
Moreover, Jamukha is also preparing to unite the forces that are dissatisfied with Ibugele's surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Before Xunke's third army has arrived at the Luobei tribe, he plans to launch a rebellion. The king will return and regain control of the Luobei royal court!
Jamukha's idea was a good one, but he accidentally leaked the information and was found out by spies from the Coordination Office, who then quickly sent the news to Xunke and Ibugele!
After this news, Xun Ke also adapted to the situation and personally led 5,000 light cavalry to advance lightly. Together with Ibugele, they arrived at the Royal Court of Luobei before the rebellion broke out.
Xun Ke's move undoubtedly disrupted Jamukha's deployment, but adhering to the idea of never doing anything else, Jamukha directly launched the rebellion in advance... ····
Although Jamukha united some forces from the Luobei tribe to launch a rebellion, because the rebellion was launched in advance, it happened in a hurry. Some of Jamukha's arrangements and preparations did not have good results, which led to the After a fierce battle, he missed a move, and with the help of the Fengwu Army, Ibugele regained control of the situation in the Royal Court of Luobei.
In order to preserve his strength, Jamukha had to lead his troops to flee back to Mobei again. Jamukha, who returned to Mobei, also knew that the Fengwu Army was going on an expedition and the logistics supply pressure was very heavy, so he only sent a few small troops. After being harassed by several troops, the main force became a coward in Mobei, preparing to wear down the Fengwu Army's logistical supplies and achieve the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting.
And his move had long been expected by Xun Ke. Xun Ke did not search for traces of Jamukha in the vast Gobi like a needle in a haystack.
Xun Ke started the arrangement just like in the strategy he wrote for Ye Mingsheng to defeat the enemy. First, he resolutely cut off Jamuka's supply channels from Luo Bei's troops, and annihilated several small groups of troops sent by Jamuka to harass him. Don't let Jamuka get any supplies and put pressure on Jamuka's headquarters from the outside!
In addition to exerting pressure from the outside, Xunke also asked Ibugele to actively win over the generals under Jamukha in an attempt to internally divide the generals under Jamukha... ······
Under such internal and external pressure, Jamukha, who was short of food and clothing, immediately had internal problems. However, Jamukha was also very capable. He soon discovered a general under his command and contacted Ibugele without telling him. Just kill the general and his entire family in front of all the tribes under his command!
After killing chickens like this to scare monkeys, Jamukha's internal situation was temporarily stable for a period of time. However, although the cruel killings can shock people's hearts, they cannot solve the dilemma of lack of food and clothing faced by Jamukha and his tribe!
Therefore, after a period of time, someone under Jamukha got in touch with Ibugele again. After some bargaining, this person also agreed to act as a spy and encouraged Jamukha to attack a ranch under Xunke's instructions. Robbery of cattle and sheep population.
Jamukha, who was facing a difficult situation, did not withstand the instigation and directly led thousands of troops to plunder the ranch!
This move played right into Xun Ke's plan, and it was a direct plan to catch Jamuhe and all his men in one fell swoop. Even Jamuhe himself became a prisoner of the Fengwu Army.
Although Ibugele's headquarters is responsible for part of the military supplies, the tens of thousands of troops out there still consume a lot of money and food every day. In addition, the Yijing court's finances are not yet rich, so now that the matter is done, Xun Ke will They are preparing to take Jamuka back to the court. However, although Jamuka has been annihilated now, a new problem has arisen in the Luobei tribe...
Although Ibugele knew very well that surrendering like the Zhou Dynasty would seriously damage his prestige as the Great Khan of Luobei, for this reason, he also asked Ye Mingsheng for some gold and silver treasures on the basis of opening the market, and prepared to reward him. Give some Luobei nobles some comfort inside.
Despite this arrangement, Ibugele still underestimated the adverse impact this incident would have on his position. Therefore, even though Jamuka is dead now, he still
A considerable number of Luobei nobles believed that Ibugel was no longer worthy of serving as Luobi Khan, and even went to the extreme and hoped that Ibugel would commit suicide to apologize.
Faced with such a situation, Ibugele was also uneasy. He was worried that there would be a rebellion in the tribe that day and that he, the great Khan of Luobei, would be hacked to death. Therefore, Ibugele found Xunke, hoping that Xunke could help him in Luobo. Luo Bei left some people behind, on the one hand to maintain his rule as the Great Khan over the various tribes of Luo Bei, and on the other hand to protect the safety of him and his family.
As for the garrison in Luobei, although Xun Ke had this idea, he also knew that he had no decision-making power in this matter, so he sent the matter back to the court. After learning the news, the staff did not dare to He made a decision without authorization and sent someone to rush it to Ye Mingsheng.
Xun Ke explained his thoughts to Ye Mingsheng in his letter. He believed that the conservative forces within Luo Bei were still very strong. These people were very dissatisfied with Ibugele's move to surrender to the Great Zhou, even though Ibugele would gain from the Great Zhou. Giving them gold, silver and jewels did not calm the resentment in their hearts.
Therefore, once the Zhou Dynasty withdraws its troops in the future, rebellion is likely to break out again within Luobei, and Ibugele is likely to be defeated and killed by then.
By then, with the killing of Yibugele, the political and economic achievements made by Zhou Dynasty in Luobei will most likely be in vain!
Therefore, Xun Ke believed that in order to preserve these achievements, Zhou Dynasty should also deploy a force of troops in Luobei to help Ibugele stabilize his rule.
After reading Xun Ke's suggestions, Ye Mingsheng thought carefully and then gave instructions:
"As long as Ibugele is willing to bear the corresponding costs, he agrees to deploy an army in Luobei to help Ibugele maintain his rule... ····》

April 25th, Yijingye Mansion
After taking Jingren to greet Mrs. Ye Cui and having breakfast together, An Miaoyi also took Jingren back to her small courtyard. Because Gu Sansi was coming to teach Jingren in the afternoon, An Miaoyi also asked Aunt Cao, her subordinate, watched Jingren review his homework, while she herself checked some accounts of Ye Mansion.
Although Aunt Zhao, who was in charge of purchasing, was killed for some other reasons, An Miaoyi realized some loopholes in her management of Ye Mansion from the incident of Aunt Zhao. A nanny dared to embezzle hundreds of taels from Ye Mansion. , even thousands of taels of silver, this incident really made An Miaoyi feel angry.
Therefore, An Miaoyi is determined to strictly manage and prevent similar things from happening again. After all, she is the eldest lady of Ye Mansion, and she is responsible for running the Ye Mansion inside and outside, so what Aunt Zhao is greedy for is not other people's money. It's her An Miaoyi's money!
Just when An Miaoyi was checking various accounts of Ye Mansion in her mind, a maid came over and bowed to report:
"Madam, Director Ye Cheng from the Attendance Department is here with this dossier!"
When An Miaoyi heard the name Ye Cheng, she immediately paused in her movements. A cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then she coldly ordered:
"Call Ye Cheng to come in!"
"yes!"
Under An Miaoyi's order, Ye Cheng and several attendants holding the dossier immediately came to An Miaoyi.
Seemingly sensing the coldness in An Miaoyi's beautiful eyes, Ye Cheng did not dare to make any eye contact with the Madam of the Ye Mansion, and immediately bowed to An Miaoyi and said:
"I'm sorry to see you, madam!"
An Miaoyi looked at Ye Cheng who was bowing and said lightly:
"When did Director Ye become so unruly?"
Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately knelt down and spoke again:
"I'm sorry to see you, madam!"
For Ye Chengan who was kneeling on the ground, Miaoyi did not call him up immediately, but let Ye Cheng kneel on the ground for about half a cup of tea before she slowly said:
"Director Ye, get up!",
"Thank you, madam!"
"Why did you come to see me?"
"Please, Madam, check the files of the Cabinet and General Staff for the past three days!"
Hearing this, An Miaoyi smiled half-heartedly and said:
"So, Director Ye, you still have eyes for me, the eldest lady?"
Facing An Miaoyi's somewhat meaningful words, Ye Cheng bowed and replied:
"Ma'am, you are joking. The Marshal and you are like the sun and the moon in my humble heart!"
As soon as these words came out, An Miaoyi snorted coldly and said:
"Director Ye, I hope you really think so!"
"That Aunt Zhao thinks she can play some clever tricks with her small power. In fact, she is totally wrong. It is not her turn to make the decision in Ye Mansion... ········》
