Chapter 389: The official's routine is to beat a few blind hands (600 monthly ticket plus more)
Seeing Chongzhen's eyes, Liu Hong gradually knew that he was going to appear.
"Leader Babala, how many soldiers are there defending the ranch in Korqin now?" Liu Hong gradually said with a smile.
The war between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty has always been accompanied by the loyal eagle dog Horqin, as the largest Menggu tribe in Southern Mongolia except for Chahar, Liu Hongjian is still very 'interested'.
Since the goal of the Ming army has always been wild boar skin, in order to defeat Dolgon as soon as possible, for the close alliance and ancient tribes, Liu Hong has always been well water and does not interfere with river water, or he has no time to clean up at all.
But Horqin is different, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and now the owner of the family has been beaten out of the, but the dog is fine, which is really unreasonable.
Liu Hong gradually wanted to give Horqin some color, so he decided to try his luck and go to the ranch in Horqin to find a precious ingredient, oh no, to fight dogs.
By the way, try the 'toughest' tribal leader in front of you.
"Report to the marshal of the Inspector Division, the ranch of Horqin is very, very large, and their main force is in Shengjing of the Jurchen barbarians, but there are still more than 10,000 cavalry left in the ranch, and I ...... Many of my people have died in battle. ”
Babala, who had obviously suffered a lot, gritted his teeth and said in a stiff language.
"Do you want to avenge your people?" Liu Hong gradually followed the good path.
"I want to think about it, but ...... My warriors can't beat them...... They also have the Jurchen barbarian as a big backer...... I...... I ......" Baba stammered a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha! It doesn't matter, they have backers, don't you have too? Liu Hong gradually saw that Babala, who was still arrogant in the city just now, became so embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing.
A dime is hard to beat a hero, this Baba is really upright.
"Did the big officials agree to me joining Daming?" Baba was not stupid, so he naturally heard the meaning of the words, and then said excitedly on his face.
"What kind of big official, just call me Lord Liu, as for whether Daming agrees to your tribe to join, it depends on your performance next, and this is a big deal, whether this official says it or not, it depends on Your Majesty's intentions."
Liu Honggradually said that he listened to Baba in the first half of the sentence, and looked at Chongzhen in the second half of the sentence, signaling that it was time for the uncle to answer.
"The Great Ming soldiers will attack Horqin today, if your troops can make meritorious deeds, I will agree to you and others to join the Ming Dynasty and find the protection of the Ming Dynasty!" Chongzhen bowed slightly, and then said.
"His Majesty Emperor Xie, Senior Official Xie...... Lord Liu, my clansmen are all warriors who are not afraid of death, and I will definitely take the lead and take this Horqin for the Ming Dynasty. ”
Babala's heart was ecstatic, Korqin didn't know how many of their clansmen had been killed for half a year, and the blood debt was repaid, and now he could finally take revenge with great confidence.
Although his warriors are only more than 4,000, and Horqin is more than 10,000, the Ming Dynasty's heavenly army will definitely not stand idly by, vigorously perform miracles, fight hard, and make a way for the tribe to survive.
"In this way, you should first let your people rest outside the city, and in the afternoon, the Ming army will open, and you can lead your troops to follow on the right side of the Ming army." Liu Hong gradually thought about it.
"I'm just an adult...... I...... I ...... "Babala, while simply getting the order, seemed to be unable to speak.
"Swallow and spit out, this is not the Menggu warrior in the heart of this official, what is the difficulty, come quickly!" There were tens of thousands of Ming troops in the city, and it would take more than an hour to prepare for the battle, and Liu Hong gradually had no time to delay here.
"My tribe's grain and grass are approaching, can you ......" Baba was really embarrassed.
The tribe has been bullied by Horqin several times, and there are not many cattle and sheep, although horses can eat grass, but people cannot.
Along the way, they even ate calves to hold on to this, and now 30,000 or 40,000 herdsmen are hiding more than ten miles away from the Ming army and shivering.
As the leader of a clan, he had to have a cheeky face to beg for some food for his people.
The pride of heaven should know that there is no merit and no benefit, and Baba is ashamed, and the suffering in his heart is really not enough for outsiders.
"It's easy to say, Lord Wang, allocate 3,000 stone of rice grain to this Baba leader for emergency!" Liu Hong gradually saw that the leader's face was red, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Obedience!" Wang Yuanba glanced at Chongzhen, and Chongzhen naturally had no opinion.
Now that there is a blood transfusion from the old Zheng family outside the Ming Dynasty, and the rice in the south of the Yangtze River has also been harvested, I want to wait for this expedition to go back, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the north have also reached the harvest season.
This year may be better than usual!
However, thinking of Zheng Zhilong and Liu Hong, he gradually became angry, this guy obviously had three or four thousand warships under his hands, and his annual income was several times higher than that of the Ming court, but he picked up a warship and refused to hand it over to the imperial court.
The only five warships in Tianjin's newly built treasure shipyard were exchanged for the position of earl by Uncle Chongzhen, although this guy sent some rice grain from time to time, but Liu Hong gradually knew that it was just charity in Zheng Zhilong's eyes.
The most important thing is that dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and he has no way to take this guy.
This old Zheng started as a pirate, not only has many warships under his hands, but also has tens of thousands of outlaws who come and go in the fire to be loyal, and the merchant ships in the entire South China Sea are only known to the Zheng clan's banner, but not the Ming court.
This simply makes no sense!
Obviously, this guy is not pleasing to the eye, and there is no way to take him, do you say that he is angry?
However, at present, Uncle Chongzhen has begun to pay attention to the sailor, and the treasure shipyard in Tianjin has recruited hundreds of old shipwrights from the coast through Chongzhen's order.
Taking the five main warships exchanged from Lao Zheng Na as samples, relying on hundreds of old shipwrights, based on the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty, plus the most critical technology and background support provided by Liu Hongji.
As long as there is time, Liu Hong will eventually create a world-class sailor for Daming.
Fortunately, now Lao Zheng is busy earning money in a corner of the country, and indirectly helping Daming maintain stability overseas, but it is not so urgent.
"My people have thanked His Majesty the Emperor!" Baba was moved.
There is a proverb in the Menggu tribe, the same blessing is not felt, see the brother in distress, although the three thousand stone rice grain is not much, but it is enough for the clansmen to eat for several days, he knows that the Ming Dynasty has been making trouble in recent years, and he is very grateful to be able to get such a reward.
"Let's go down!" Liu Hong gradually waved his hand, and Baba went out with a thousand thanks, and he hurriedly announced the good news to the warriors outside the city.
"Youming, why do you want to fight the ancients this time, isn't it too hasty." Chongzhen wanted to destroy the Jianyu who made him hate, but he didn't understand the art of war, and thought that Liu Hongjian had another meaning.
"Your Majesty, this Horqin is not far northwest of Haizhou, Liaoyang is not easy to fight, destroying this tribe will not only make the rear of my army safer, but Jianyu will also lose a big boost, why not do it!"
Liu Hong gradually responded.
Although Chongzhen doesn't know much about the art of war, where does Liu Hongjian understand?
His routine is to beat a few blindly, don't panic if you have a gun in your hand, see who doesn't come with a few shots, and who is not a fight?
Different paths lead to the same end!
"Well, Aiqing is reasonable, I also think this Korqin should be beaten!"
