Chapter Seventy-Two: The Seizure of Land

Chen Mu wanted to ride a pony, shuttle through the enemy territory, run a long way, and see what kind of living conditions the people who fled to the outside of the fortress were like.

As a result, I took him three miles on horseback, waved his hand to the north at the edge of the camp, and smiled at him: "This is Bansheng." ”

Countless houses rise from countless cooking smoke, this is not the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, but the living conditions of the people in Beiben are still the same, they need a piece of land to cultivate, I promised them the right to farm freely here.

Maybe further north, there are tribes of the Mongols, but here, it belongs to the Han Chinese.

There is no difference between the north of the Great Wall and the south of the Great Wall.

"They fled from the south, and no one in the Mongol tribes would take them as slaves, and they fled back to the south; How much silver is a head of your men, cut off their heads, and receive their rewards? I replied and asked Chen Mu lightly, "One hundred taels!" ”

"They fled because they worked hard, and they fled back for a hundred taels of silver in someone else's pocket." I replied and turned the rosary and said: "From time to time, the Ming army has a small part out of the fortress and attacked the tribe, and the border is deeply disturbed but there is no way, you can build the Great Wall to guard against me, but I can't build the Great Wall to guard against you, who says it can't?" ”

"Bansheng is the Great Wall of this king, starting from the north of Xuanfu to the west of the Great Wall, three hundred miles of land are Bansheng, where it used to be pasture, no one dares to graze horses and sheep here, it will be snatched away by you. So I gave this land to the people who had fled, and let them farm, build houses, and have children. ”

"You love to laugh, but can you still laugh?"

Chen Mu shook his head, he couldn't laugh.

He saw that I answered, this is an open-minded and fierce style of the Saiwai hero, for the southern Ming Dynasty he is the master of the guard, on the one hand, he can't beat the Ming Dynasty's cities, on the other hand, maybe as he said, he doesn't want to fight.

Because he was clever enough to know that the city he had conquered would not stand.

Bansheng, three hundred miles of Bansheng, should have been the people of the Ming Dynasty, but now it has become a barrier for me.

"How does the king think that the location of the mutual market should be chosen in Bansheng?" Chen Mu looked at the boundless smoke outside the plug and said, "Draw a line, Mongolia in the north and Daming in the south." ”

I frowned, almost snorted through my nose, and said, "You want to take my land!" ”

"Well, because it's good for me, it's good for Daming, and on the surface, it seems that the king is at a loss." Chen Mu tried his best to be sincere, told the truth, and said: "If nothing else, the location of the mutual market that the king wants should be south of the Great Wall, in Xuanfu and Datong, and set up border markets. In this way, it seems that the king has earned, but in fact, it is not, because the taxes in the border market are handed over to the Ming Dynasty, and the gathering of merchants can bring great prosperity. ”

"But if the border city is in Bansheng, we are south of the garrison and north of the king's garrison, and jointly manage the border city of Bansheng, which can make the king's tribe more prosperous, and the border city can also be divided together. Merchants need to have houses, they eat, drink, sleep, they need to spend money, countless people can survive by taking care of their food and daily life, and the lives of these people will lead others to survive, and this is the beginning of prosperity.

"For Chen, the most important thing is that the people of Bansheng can live better, which is very important - I just said casually, the decision is between the king and the emperor, if the king decides to do this, don't forget that it is Chen's suggestion."

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled.

He has always been a bold man, and this moment is undoubtedly the most daring moment of his life.

Out of the plug, he walked more than ten miles, and then was taken by me to walk more than three miles, seven or eight miles away from his eyes is the position of Bansheng, and spread out more than ten miles to the north.

And I replied that Bansheng stretched for three hundred miles from east to west.

How big is the land?

Two thousand square kilometers?

If this land is used by him to build forts, dig trenches, and artillery under the fire, it will certainly not be better than the Great Wall, but it will be just as useful.

It can also raise sheep and horses.

For a long time, I looked at the distance ahead, turned my head for a long time, and said in the same tone and expression, "You still want to take my land!" ”

Chen Mu raised his head and laughed, and arched his hand: "The king's eyes are like torches!" ”

"You are the chief soldier of Xuanfu, why did you come alone?" I replied that I no longer pondered Chen Mu's previous words, but asked directly: "Could it be that Wang Chonggu doesn't even have one or two hundred cavalry soldiers to send you?" ”

"I didn't let them follow, it didn't work. How many soldiers the king has here, no less than fifty thousand. There are no 100,000 male soldiers with him-" Chen Mu looked around left and right, pointed to his chest, and said, "It can't make me feel at ease." ”

"One or two hundred rides are like a drop of water mixed into the sea, no different from a person." Chen Mu shook his head, "Whether I can go back alive or not is not because I can live because I have many accompanying soldiers, nor will I die because of the few accompanying soldiers, it only depends on how much the king cares about Han Naji and how much he hopes that Meng Han will shake hands and make peace." ”

"If the king wants to stop fighting, I can still live even if I burn two felt tents; The king doesn't want a truce, even if I am well-behaved, I will still die. ”

"And all I can decide is whether to come or not. If you come, your life will be pinned on the hands of the king, and if you don't come, you will disobey the military order and can only die in the world. Chen Mu smiled freely, "There is no way, why bother because of its distress, if it comes, it will be safe." ”

"Interesting."

Altan Khan looked at Chen Mu and nodded, and asked in surprise, "Are you really so daring?" It takes 100,000 soldiers to give you peace of mind? Ordinary people only need one or two hundred rides to be at ease. ”

"100,000 may not be enough, there must be two armies to separate their wings, outflank them in a roundabout way, and separate one way to attack Tumochuan, so that they can reap the full success." Chen Mu said very seriously: "I came here for one purpose, that is, to let the two sides cease fighting, either Chen alone persuaded the Great Khan, or Chen led an army of 300,000 to completely defeat the Great Khan." ”

The expression on my face suddenly became complicated, and he ignored Chen Mu after beating Manan, and it took a long time before he turned his head and said loudly: "Gengxu's change, if there is one person under the command of this king, such as you, convince the Son of Heaven, it will be very different!" ”

After that, I replied to the horse and left, and before leaving, I left an order for the accompanying cavalry on both sides, asking them to take Chen Mu to visit Bansheng.

The day after Chen Mu was wandering around Bansheng, a cavalry came from afar.

When he saw me again, I was elated and said, "You didn't lie to me, Han is still alive!" This king has ordered Zhao Quan and other nineteen people to be escorted, and someone will take them to Datong, this king doesn't know why you are here, but you should know that if the court doesn't let go of Han, you can't go back. ”

"I know, and I know, that Hannaji will definitely come back."

I replied very funny, nodded and said, "When you go back, you will come back, right?" Next time you come over, this king will treat you well! ”
