Chapter 750: Datong General Military Mansion
"The problem of ventilation and sunlight exposure should be solved, once it snows heavily, it must be cleaned up in time, which can let the sunlight shine, and not let the snow collapse the greenhouse..."
Yang Chendong introduced his experience to Yu Mian and the hundred old farmers. Although these old farmers are all veterans of growing crops, the climate of Chichicheng and Shicheng is different after all, so he still has to list all the precautions one by one.
Yu Mian and the old farmers listened with bright eyes, for Yang Chendong, they admired or admired him. This sixth young master seems to know everything, everything is not a problem, and anything is no longer a problem in front of him.
The matter of greenhouse planting was handed over to Yu Mian and these experienced old farmers, and Yang Chendong didn't care about it, but turned around and focused on army training.
As I said before, the weather in the grassland is cold for nearly half a year, so how to get the army used to fighting in severe cold weather? This is the focus of the next military training.
"Send a telegram to Chichicheng, asking them to make more military cotton coats and light down jackets, warning them that the quality must be good, and if anyone dares to use inferior cotton to fill the number, then it is better to come and see them." Yang Chendong said to Yang Er, who was following beside him. He still remembered that the national army had such a thing, in the cold weather, the soldiers wore cotton clothes made of no cotton and inferior black cotton, and the result was unknown how many people froze to death and frostbitten first. Such a mistake must not happen to oneself, and if anyone dares to do so, then wait for death.
"Tell Chichicheng to make some hot water belts, to ensure that there is one person, didn't I say that the frostbite cream I gave them last time has been developed, then it will be mass-produced, and all cold-proof materials should also be prepared..."
Shijo is also preparing for the arrival of winter. One by one, the fireplaces were built by the hands of Wu Huo and other blacksmiths, and they were installed in the homes of the people. It is gratifying that Yang Chendong also found an underground coal not far from Shicheng according to his own memory, once he has this thing, it will no longer be difficult to heat in winter. At that time, the people here will go through the first warm winter together, which must be a very pleasant and gratifying thing.
......
Datong General Military Office.
As the front line of the Northern Ming Dynasty's fight against the Warat army, the general soldier Sun Hong felt a lot of pressure, and he asked the Northern Ming Jing Division for help five times, telling that the situation was bad, and asked the imperial court to send troops to support.
On the bright side, he kept writing a chapter to ask for help, and in his heart, he really scolded Shi Heng's nephew, Shi Biao's ancestors, for eight generations. If it weren't for this person's insatiable greed, which finally disrupted the cooperation between the merchant group of Beiming and Wara, where would the border tension come from and the war raged all day?
As soon as he thought that Ye Xian had led the Wara army to occupy the Hetao area and could force Datong Mansion at any time, Sun Hong couldn't help but have an urge to draw a knife and kill people.
It's just that now Shi Heng has won the trust of Zhu Qiyu, and has become the Marquis of Wuqing from Wu Qingbo, and at the same time he is also the commander of the Northern Ming Dynasty, who is in charge of all the affairs of the military, and is already Sun Hong's superior, which suddenly makes him feel powerless even if he is angry.
And just when the Hetao had become the bag of Warat, and it seemed that Datong Mansion would usher in a big war at any time, and it might even be unsafe at any time, suddenly the other party stopped.
The domineering Warat suddenly became so honest, which naturally surprised Sun Hong. At first, he wondered if the other side was planning a big battle, and even prepared for the transfer of more Warat cavalry to the battle. But when he sent out all the scouts, he got the opposite message. Not only did he not increase his troops in the direction of Datong, but instead sent a part of the cavalry from Hetao to defend the Mongolian region in the northeast.
Could it be that something happened on the steppe again? Or is it a comeback?
Sun Hong is naturally clear about the matter of uniting with Agadorji to deal with Tokhtar Buhua before, and it is precisely because he is clear that he thinks like this. So he sent some scouts to find out further afield. And more than two months after this person was sent out, the news finally came back, and the answer turned out to be that the loyal duke suddenly appeared on the grassland, and built a first city, and successively fought with Agadorji and Mobei Mongolia, and both won.
Sun Hong was originally the deputy chief soldier of Datong, who had been guarding the frontier, and he had only heard of his name and had never met him. But I have heard a lot about his glorious deeds, and I also know that although this person is young, he has amazing business talent, especially leading troops to fight, and he is also the most advanced existence among people.
In the past, when the Beijing Division of the Northern Ming Dynasty was in danger, it was he who brought a small number of mercenaries and some people from the Five Cities of the Beijing Division to defeat the powerful Wara cavalry. Later, he also gave in first, and there were commercial and trade exchanges between the two sides, which bought a lot of time for the development of Beiming.
Later, there was a rebellion in the south of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and it was this loyal and courageous man who not only curbed and eliminated the rebellion, but also successively captured the two small states of Jiaozhi and Lancang, and established a sub-province there. This action is clearly to establish the momentum of a country, and I heard that this behavior made many ministers above the court angry, and there were a lot of folds, but in the end they were like a stone sinking into the sea.
Sun Hong can understand this. After all, Jiaozhi and Lancang are too far away from the Northern Ming Dynasty, and if they want to send troops to clear it, they have to go through the land of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so how can Yingzong Zhu Qiyu agree? Not to mention, even if the troops are really sent, it is still unknown whether they can beat the mercenaries?
The wind and rain in the south made Beiming like a needle felt, but he was helpless, I have to say that this loyal and courageous man is powerful. But unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared on the grassland again, and in such a short period of time, he broke into such a huge name there, which is really not to be underestimated.
Of course, after understanding and knowing this, Sun Hong was still a little happy in his heart. He is just a general soldier of Datong, although he is also in charge of the military power of 50,000 troops, but he is a martial artist in the end, and it is difficult to enter the eyes of the ministers who learned from the saints in the court. In his eyes, he only has one acre and three points of land in front of him, as long as Datong is safe here, it is equivalent to him completing his duty. The appearance of the loyal and courageous prince can deter the Warat department, and it is enough to benefit him.
Sun Hong was happy in his heart, but such a major news still needed to be reported to the imperial court. At that moment, he wrote a fold and sent it to Beiming Jingshi. Soon after, Beiming also sent a will, which was directly sent to Sun Hong and Zhang Quan, the eunuch guarding the town.
Zhang Quan was a eunuch, and when the civil engineering changed, the previous eunuch Guo Jing was killed in battle, and he was sent here to replace him. Compared with Sun Hong, this person has a close relationship with many eunuchs in the Northern Ming Dynasty, and it is said that it is a relationship with the above, I am afraid that Sun Hong is still more than one grade behind.
The decree was issued, to the effect that Sun Hong and Zhang Quan should find a way to contact the loyal and courageous princes, let him contribute to the rebellion on the border of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and even if possible, let them give up the first city and hand it over to the Ming military, that is, even the mercenary military power there must be handed over.
Regarding the emperor's will, Sun Hong and Zhang Quan shook their heads in unison after reading it.
Who is the Loyal Father? Is he so easy to get along with, is he really an ordinary Ming courtier?
Just because he was able to defeat the 50,000 cavalry of Agadolji successively, and killed the Mongol cavalry in Mobei and had to cross the Yuma River to avoid the edge, just from these two points, how can they be subservient people, with a Datong Mansion, only 50,000 troops, why let the other party bow their heads, let alone let them hand over their military power.
Sun Hong didn't have a better way, and Zhang Quan also had the same idea in his heart.
The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were very strong, and the important ministers sometimes worked together for their own interests, often forcing the emperor to give concessions, in this case, the development and growth of eunuchs became an inevitable trend.
In order to strike a balance, both Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu chose the same way, that is, to promote and reuse eunuchs to suppress the development of literati. Under such circumstances, the authority of the eunuch group has become more and more heavy, and it has reached a situation where few civil officials dare not give face. Even in Datong Mansion, the chief soldier Sun Hong still has to look at the face of Zhang Quan, the eunuch guarding the town, many times.
Eunuchs are a great threat to ordinary courtiers, but there are exceptions. For example, Yang Chendong, the loyal and courageous father, is one of the most typical representatives.
I heard that when he first became a loyal and courageous prince, any eunuch who dared to call himself his own prince would be cleaned up by Yang Chendong, the real prince. However, the eunuch group after the incident was still helpless to others, and with this point, Zhang Quan's power was completely out of the eyes of the other party.
Sun Hong lamented, so did Zhang Quan, both of them looked sad, but even though the emperor made a will, he couldn't help but complete it, and finally thought about it, Zhang Quan still decided to go to Shicheng, he wanted to see the situation there with his own eyes, and he had an explanation for the above.
Zhang Quan was willing to move forward, Sun Hong was naturally happy, and immediately decided to send a thousand households Xu Deyi to escort the people of the headquarters all the way to ensure his safety. When the next cavalry team of more than 1,000 people left Datong and marched all the way to the northeast.
Zhang Quan came, whether he had the idea of finding out or wanted to explore the reality, Yang Chendong didn't care too much about it for the time being. One of the big reasons why the first city must be established is that it is the imperial court of the Northern Ming Dynasty.
