Devil’s Advent

Chapter 603: Great Yan Zhongliang

On the grill, a string of mutton is being nourished with oil, making a crisp and attractive sound;

Uncle Zheng grabbed a small handful of cumin and decorated it with ease.

On the side, Liu Ruqing was wiping the sweat from Uncle Zheng's forehead.

in the yard,

Just Uncle Zheng and Liu Ruqing.

The princess is writing a letter home, and this letter will be attached to it as the first diplomatic transmission from the Marquis's mansion to Chu after the imperial court canonize it as a Marquis.

This actually contains the attitude of the Marquis Mansion in the east of Jin to the neighbor of Chu State in the next few years.

Asking the princess to add her own family letter here is itself a more explanatory expression than words;

Political marriage is never reliable,

In the face of real interests, the so-called marriage, the so-called love between the children of the family, are all a joke;

Since ancient times, not to mention killing fathers and seizing the throne, but kissing nephews, kissing cousins, mutual annexation and backstabbing between in-laws, where is it missing?

Even, the kind of mud legs who overthrow everything and turn themselves over are the minority of the minority. Most of the time, the regime changes and the power changes. If you look closely, you will find that they are all relatives.

But how to say,

There is this relationship,

When both parties need to "rest and recuperate", it will be more natural and smoother, and each other can have a proper explanation internally and externally.

Therefore, this letter from home has great political significance;

The princess naturally doesn't care about the safety of the people of the two countries and whether they will be invaded by war.

Oh no,

The princess still cares a little bit about the soldiers and civilians at Snow Customs;

According to the report of the blind man,

During these days when Uncle Zheng was on the expedition,

On behalf of Uncle Zheng several times, the princess went to condolences to the widows and widows in the target household, and condolences to veterans who were disabled on the battlefield and returned to their hometowns;

The princess would hold their hands and say hello to them.

Seeing that winter is coming, and the New Year is coming, I asked my family if the food for the winter is ready, and the goods for the New Year are ready.

The effect is excellent, and I was greatly moved.

Many soldiers and civilians in Xuehaiguan regard the noble princess as a living Bodhisattva,

Then,

Everyone seems to be missing one thing,

That is most of the people in Xuehaiguan who are young and strong, and what is being attacked right now is actually the Chu country where this noble princess was born.

The princess cares about the soldiers and civilians at Snow Customs because she understands that this is her husband's inheritance, and it will also be the inheritance that her son can share in the future.

Although that day,

My husband watched Prince Jingnan crawling on the map,

He uttered those outrageous words,

vaguely,

It reveals a meaning that even if he really wins the country in the future, he will give it to Tiantian to repay King Jingnan's favor.

But the princess was not worried about that,

One is because her husband has no heirs yet,

no heirs

be poor and generous;

Once you have an heir, you naturally long for the best for your children;

Second,

Now King Jingnan is still King Jingnan. Although the official identity of Prince Jingnan's son is unclear, he has a great reputation after all.

But what about five years from now?

But what about ten years from now?

But twenty or thirty years,

Will the world really calm down again?

The blood of King Jingnan,

Is it possible that it can really compare with Dayan Ping Yebo's blood?

people,

Soldiers,

Will they allow a person who is not from the blood of their uncle to be crowned emperor?

so,

The princess doesn't want to think too much about things that don't have a shadow. She is in seclusion now, so she has to study this family letter carefully and write it properly;

One is to do things for my husband, which is a political task entrusted to me by my husband;

The second is that this family letter is also related to the face of her, the princess of the Chu country, and her political influence in the Chu country in the future.

She likes beauty and power. She never hides this, but confesses it to her husband. Her husband doesn't mind it at all.

So,

The princess is busy with official duties,

In the back house of the Earl's Court,

Only Uncle Zheng and Liu Ruqing were left to relax.

With one hand, Uncle Zheng poked in quietly;

Just as it rushes thousands of miles to the snow customs,

then,

one horizontal,

vertical

skimming

Take a swipe.

"hiss………"

Suddenly rushing like the waves of the river, rushing southward;

Sudden and powerful like the fire of Jingcheng, endless;

Liu Ruqing bit her lower lip tightly,

Leaning forward involuntarily,

Shyly said;

"Uncle hey~~~~~~"

Uncle Zheng's whole heart trembled.

This is the sound

This is the tune,

This is the shame of refusal;

"Ruqing, turn the meat over."

"Yes, Uncle~~"

Liu Ruqing reached out to turn over the meat skewers on the grill,

body trembling from time to time,

look back

Looking at his uncle very sadly,

Subsequently,

I had no choice but to continue to turn over the skewers.

So shy,

But I can't refuse,

After coming together from time to time,

You have to loosen the gap slightly.

Can't let him spoil himself,

Can't let him not spoil himself,

Don't make him feel casual,

Don't let him feel that he is not at all casual;

After all, the heart and the future promised him,

He can only go,

go~~

"Uncle, it's baked... it's done."

Zheng Fan nodded,

retract your hand,

Liu Ruqing picked up a towel that was placed next to her and helped to wipe it off.

immediately,

Uncle Zheng took a skewer and ate it;

In fact, the smell of barbecue is just the smell of barbecue. It is better to say that you are eating seasoning than eating meat.

When eating barbecue, the key is to look at your mood, the environment, and who you are with.

Liu Ruqing was also eating, and she was not too formal, holding a skewer in one hand and lifting one side of her hair with the other, with her face slightly sideways, eating.

can only say,

truly beautiful people,

She doesn't need too much pretentiousness,

It is beautiful in itself.

Uncle Zheng felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart,

Back from fighting outside,

Molesting and molesting concubines,

This is life, this is life.

"Uncle, this slave is full."

Eating meat makes you feel full easily.

Uncle Zheng nodded, picked up the skewers again, placed them on the skewers again, and continued to roast, saying at the same time:

"Send a message, let those few, come in."

"Yes, uncle."

Liu Ruqing went down.

Uncle Zheng stretched out his hand and stroked his chin lightly.

It's leisure, it's vacation, it's not to let things bother you, but since you're in the middle of the game, how can you get away from it completely?

It's fine when he's not around,

Now that he is in the Snow Pass,

something

He still has to come out in person.

Not long after, several savage tribal leaders and some young men wearing the armor of the Earl of Xueguan's Mansion walked in, and they all knelt down to Uncle Zheng who was grilling skewers.

"See Uncle."

Uncle Zheng withdrew his hand to grill the skewers,

He pointed to a young guard, and then to the grill.

The personal guard understood, got up immediately, and took over the job of grilling skewers.

Uncle Zheng is wearing a grizzly bear leather jacket today, made by Siniang, with gold trim around the neck, it looks majestic and restrained.

Put your hands on your cuffs,

Uncle Zheng, who was sitting on the chair, leaned back slightly,

leaning back in the chair,

look,

Sweeping over the kneeling people present,

There was no rush to wake them up.

yard,

The only sound left is the sound of oil bubbling from the skewers.

Shaoqing,

Uncle Zheng said;

"Hai Lan Yang Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're so rich."

Hailan Yanggu, the leader of the Hailan tribe kneeling on the ground, immediately kowtowed and said:

"Your blessing, Lord Tobo, my Hailan Department is rich in pastures. I can't help but eat a few more meat and drink a few more wine on weekdays. This, my body, has also become fat."

"Hahahaha, you are very lucky. Benbo just came back from an expedition a few days ago, and his wife said that Benhou has lost weight."

Hailan Yanggu's heart trembled,

Immediately said:

"Uncle is still heroic and extraordinary. In the eyes of slaves, Uncle is the star on this snow field, high above, shining in all directions!"

"Hai Lan Yang Valley."

"The slave is here."

"Look up, and let Ben take a good look."

Hailan Yanggu raised her head obediently upon hearing the words,

On his face, there are two whip marks that are still clearly visible although they have faded a lot.

These two whips,

It was drawn by Zheng Fan himself.

"Do you still want to be whipped on your face?"

"Slave, slave guilty, slave guilty!"

In fact, Hailan Yanggu really didn't know what he was guilty of, but at this time he could only plead guilty.

"Oh, how can you, the patriarch of Hailan, plead guilty? What are you guilty of?"

"The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty!"

"Well, where is the crime?"

"This this………"

"You are not guilty."

"No, no, no, the slave is guilty, the slave is guilty."

"No, you are not guilty, not only you, but also you, you, you, you leaders, were the first to attach to my snow customs and the first to submit to my uncle. You are the most loyal to my uncle on this snowfield. people.

Is not it? "

Hailan Yanggu and other leaders immediately kowtowed:

"I will swear allegiance to Uncle Hirano to the death."

When Zheng Fan first arrived at Xuehaiguan, the Hailan tribe was just a small tribe near Xuehaiguan, with a population of just over 2,000 people.

However, as Zheng Fan led the Yan army to clear the snowfield several times, a certain vacuum appeared on the snowfield, and then, these small tribes that originally belonged to the Snow Customs ushered in an opportunity for rapid development.

They rely on the Yan people, and they can be said to be "fox-fake tiger prestige" on the snowfield. Not to mention the entire snowfield, but at least in the area near the south, these small tribes in the past can be said to be full of oil.

Take the Hailan Tribe, which had only about 2,000 people back then, as an example. Now, the population of the Hailan Tribe is no less than 50,000!

Yes, no less than 50,000, not counting the small tribes that belonged to the Hailan tribe.

Calculated according to the ratio of five people to one person, the current warriors of the Hailan Department are more than ten thousand!

The little one in the past has grown into a new Tibetan Mastiff in Xueyuan since he became the dog of the Yan people.

Of course, one has to doubt their combat effectiveness. Even if it is 10,000 warriors, three thousand riders from Xuehaiguan can crush them with their eyes closed.

After all, ethnic groups are annexed too quickly, and the sense of belonging and lower-level governance are simply too late to be implemented. It is nothing more than another form of combination of kings of the mountain.

Zheng Fan smiled,

yard,

Only he was laughing.

The rest didn't dare to ask the uncle why he suddenly laughed, the more Zheng Fan was like this, the more frightened they were.

Although the Yan army has never penetrated into the snowfield on a large scale, they have been invincible after several sweeps, and the battle loss ratio is extremely exaggerated, which has caused the savages on the snowfield to have a wave of anger against the Yan people and the black dragon flag. Awe from the bottom of my heart.

"Benbo, I want to reward you well!"

Zheng Fan paused,

road:

"Hailan Kecha, Hailan Bogu..."

Uncle Zheng read out the names of more than ten personal guards present.

These personal guards have followed him since last year.

They are all the sons of these tribal leaders.

"Benbo will make you generals."

Sealing more than a dozen generals in one breath is definitely a big deal.

But considering that Uncle Zheng will soon be promoted to Marquis Zheng, these are nothing.

The personal guard is just like the leader's secretary. It is a kind of ethos in the army to let the personal guard out to lead the army. It is the same in the four major countries.

certainly,

To seal an official is to seal an official,

A general must have at least a battalion of soldiers under his command, right?

Uncle Zheng will not send out a single soldier,

even,

Not a piece of ordnance will come out,

They are all the sons of the head of the Xueyuan tribe,

He appointed their officers himself,

They should be thankful Dade is,

Then,

Take out your own money,

For their sons, add warriors, add horses, and add weapons.

Warriors and horses, easy to play;

What about ordnance?

Xueyuan's smelting technology is not good enough. Besides, Xue Haijun is about to usher in a new round of costume changes, so he can't let his son's soldiers and horses be tattered or miscellaneous, right?

This is not a problem,

Can I buy it?

Place an order with the Snow Customs Foundry,

Gold and silver can pay,

Cattle, sheep and horses,

can also pay,

People from the clan went to work in many workshops in Xuehai Customs, and they could also get the money back.

even,

I can still pay on credit first,

Wait until the next year when the pasture is abundant and the cattle and sheep grow fat, and then return it!

The group of leaders represented by Hailan Yanggu were stunned at first, then panicked, then empty, and finally, forced ecstasy.

kowtow together;

"Thank you uncle for the reward. Uncle is so kind and virtuous, and will shine on the snowfield forever!"

"Thank you uncle for the reward!"

"Uncle's kindness is boundless!"

More than a dozen generals,

Just sent it out,

to be honest,

It's nothing more than another copy of Uncle Zheng's tricking the eldest prince to take the engraved radish seal to go to the snowy field as an envoy.

These official titles actually cost nothing to Uncle Zheng.

But Uncle Zheng was able to harvest immediately,

Nearly 20,000 wildling cavalry!

These savage cavalry are all good at equestrianism, with high-quality horses, and they go to the official foundry bureau to buy ordnance at their own expense.

Even if you have an extra force in your hands,

It also greatly weakened the power of these tribes who rely on their own big tree to enjoy the shade in the snow field.

dog,

yes

But don't feed too much fat,

If you are too fat, your guts will also become fat together.

It may bite the owner back.

To bleed sequentially,

Uncle Zheng's move,

It can be said that he is well versed in the method of scientific development and continuous cutting of leeks.

As for the issue of combat power,

don't worry,

The difference between races is actually not that big, at least not as big as imagined.

You can say that the savages are not good at fighting, and they are often violently beaten by the Yan army with a fraction of their strength.

But the Savage King led the Savages into the Snow Customs and defeated Situ Lei and the First Prince's Eastern Expeditionary Army.

These savage cavalry were divided up and returned to their respective towns. They were broken up, kneaded, and digested.

Under the coordinated training,

Definitely another elite soldier!

With Ah Cheng here, Gou Moli here, and now there is alchemy, but their new generals are here, and combined with the ideological and political education of the group under the blind man, Uncle Zheng is really serious about military training. Not worried at all.

Two great passes and one city,

The land of Eastern Jin,

The site expanded too fast and too big all of a sudden.

Are there enough troops?

Necessity is not enough.

so,

Savage soldiers must be used at this moment. Fortunately, with the first town in front, Gou Moli has already contributed enough sincerity with the blood of wild men during the war against Chu, and then he will use wild soldiers , the resistance of the local military and civilians will be much weaker.

and,

Modeled on the military town system established by the "Eight Banners", it can greatly weaken the barriers between ethnic groups, integrate war and production, and form a system based on households, camps, and towns, and then, at the top, Zheng Bo A new sense of belonging system with the father as the core.

The situation that Huang Taiji faced at the beginning was actually similar to that of Zheng Boye, so Huang Taiji changed Jurchen to Manchu.

Uncle Zheng is the same here,

He is a native of Yan in name,

However, the number of soldiers and horses of the Yan people under Uncle Zheng's command only accounted for a small part.

There are ready-made successful examples first, why not?

Of course, this barbarian army will not all belong to the No. 1 Town of the Savage King, but will be covered by rain and dew.

The Savage King can lead the army in the future, but most of the time, he has to stay with Uncle Zheng as a military adviser.

It is impossible to send him a large number of barbarian soldiers and horses. Don't say that Uncle Zheng will feel uncomfortable, even if he is Gou Moli, he will probably feel a chill on his neck.

In addition to the wild soldiers and horses, the refugees from the Jin region selected young and strong soldiers to join the army, and the auxiliary soldiers from the Yan region, including the part that was previously acquiesced by King Jingnan, would also be quickly absorbed into the Snow Navy in a short period of time.

Equipment, training, and ideological and political education can only be postponed first.

In short,

The head and battalion head must be pulled up quickly first.

Marquis, is a sure thing, just wait for the imperial decree;

However, the entire land of eastern Jin needs to guard against the threats from Xueyuan and Chu. At the same time, it is necessary to have a standing army to suppress possible changes in Jin. The required troops are really not a small number.

Uncle Zheng and the demon kings were originally perfectionists. They didn't like blind soldiers under the premise that their combat effectiveness and quality could not keep up. But now they really can only grasp the main contradiction first.

If your strength is insufficient,

Will the imperial court leave you some general soldiers to help you garrison?

It's nicknamed "co-defense"?

Isn't this asking people to install nails in your house?

at the moment,

With King Jingnan at the front, most of the divisions and early suppression methods from the imperial court can be blocked;

But the premise is that you have to be able to hold the field yourself.

Anyway, if there is no war recently, let's raise the number of troops first, and then slowly train to improve the combat effectiveness.

The chiefs and their sons went down,

when leaving,

One person took two skewers of mutton in his hand and ate them as he walked.

Guessing, my heart is bleeding while eating, this may be the most expensive and most unscrupulous barbecue in the world.

sent away the leaders,

Uncle Zheng originally wanted to find Liu Ruqing to be gentle again,

Listen to "Uncle" a few more times,

But at this time,

Ji Laoliu's letter,

arrive.

When Yingdu was captured, the messenger set out to Yanjing, and then came back from Yanjing to get the letter. The journey was long and time-consuming. When he received the reply, Uncle Zheng himself had already returned to Xueguan.

stationery,

a lot of,

Uncle Zheng looked at them one by one,

Lost one by one.

"Is this Ji Laoliu playing performance art with me?"

A few lines, then crossed out;

A few more lines, and then crossed out;

what's the matter

After a long distance, you still send me your mental journey when you wrote the letter?

Tsk, it's a little numb.

see the end,

In fact, it is the real reply content:
