Chapter 106 Born to be rich and noble

On the banks of the Shule River, the Tang Army camp. Chen Ying ordered the three armies to be rewarded, but he was happy in his heart. Even if the wine was open, Chen Ying walked up to Ashina Simo, picked up a jar of wine, and poured it with his head up.

Looking at everyone's happy appearance, Chen Ying smiled dumbly: "Why do you all be so happy when I have a son?" ”

"Of course I'm happy!" Ashina Simo said: "Most of the protectors are sons, and they are the sons of the imperial court, as long as they are 100 years old (that is, 100 days), the imperial court will definitely canonize him as the prince of Liangguo, and the soldiers, including me, can also rest assured!" ”

"Peace ......of mind" Chen Ying heard this, and then remembered that this time is not a later generation, and the feudal era, pay attention to hereditary, one day is the master, and the whole life is the master, even if the master dies, their children and grandchildren are also the servants of Chen Ying's son, just like Guo Luo, Zhou Chengdong, Sun Jingchu, Yu Qing and them, their fathers, loyal to Hou Mo Chen, they will also be loyal to Hou Mo Chen, and their descendants will also be the same in the future.

A family, as long as there is a heritage, then it is really starting to rise.

Luo Shixin came to Chen Ying's side drunken and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, it seems that we have no plans to return to Jinman for the time being?" ”

Speaking, Luo Shixin pointed to the camp wall made of mud on the bank of the Shule River, which is a permanent military camp built, a permanent military camp, which is much more laborious than an ordinary war camp, a war camp can usually be built in an hour and a half or two hours, but a permanent military camp may not be able to be built in a month.

Chen Ying picked up a branch from the ground and drew a map on the ground, and now, Chen Ying is located in the territory of Ganzhou, which is in a triangle, more than 1,600 miles away from Dafeichuan, more than 1,800 miles away from Yiwu, more than 2,700 miles away from Jinman, and more than 600 miles away from Liangzhou.

Chen Ying explained while drawing a map: "The Western Regions are about to usher in a terrible bloody storm, and our army is very important, once we return to the Western Regions, the Tubo people will inevitably attack Liangzhou, but Liangzhou does not have enough strength to protect itself." Of course, more importantly, the layout of the Western Regions is almost a fire Hou! ”

Luo Shixin nodded as if he didn't understand.

In fact, he didn't know Chen Ying's layout very well.

It is not difficult to defeat the Western Regions, because all the tribes in the Western Regions are a group of wall grass, but it is very difficult to govern the Western Regions, because these tribes have one characteristic, that is, they are unruly and unwilling to be bound by the law. If these hidden dangers were not eradicated, Chen Ying would have no way to continue the offensive in the Western Regions.

Therefore, Chen Ying wanted to borrow Murong Fuyun's hand to wipe out those hostile forces in the Western Regions. As long as these hostile forces are eliminated, Chen Ying will be able to boldly manage the Western Regions and use the Western Regions as a springboard for his expedition to the west.

As long as it is a person of later generations, he will definitely find that the Western Regions is actually a treasure land. Whether it is agriculture or natural resources, in later generations, the grain output of Changji, Yili, and Urumqi in Xinjiang alone exceeded 10 million tons.

Even if the grain of this era was only one-fifth of that of later generations, if the land under the severe desertification of later generations was reclaimed, Chen Ying could harvest at least 30 million stone of grain in at least a corner of the Western Regions, which was more than enough to supply an army of 500,000.

The first to feel the arrival of the bloody storm were the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, as well as the Han people in the Western Regions who danced on the tip of the knife. In the Western Regions, the Han Chinese are actually a minority, of course, only relatively. These civilians, who were very sensitive to war, soon smelled the smell of abnormality.

Duan Zhigan issued an order, and the whole army rushed to collect grain. As a result, more than 30,000 Hebei New Army all joined the ranks of grabbing grain.

The characteristics of the Western Regions are large, endless grain fields, which are rare in the Central Plains. Countless men, women and children worked together. The wheat is cut off and placed directly into a large wooden barrel. The tall wooden drum mechanism was connected to a rotating shaft by a strange mechanism, and two or three donkeys pulled the shaft and kept turning, and the drum also turned, and there was a scraping sound of metal scraping against the inner wall inside, and the shaft of the barrel was a wooden stick wrapped in an iron page in a key part, and the shaft did not rotate with the drum when it turned.

This is a threshing machine developed from the animal power mixer in Xiuli. In this way, the harvested grain can be threshed directly in the field, without the need to repeatedly roll and thresh with stone rollers as in the past, and the stone rollers are repeatedly rolled and threshed, and the efficiency is too slow. Even if it is a horse, non-stop all day, in fact, it can only thresh one or two thousand catties of grain, but with a threshing machine, three heads of livestock, can thresh tens of thousands of catties a day.

For labor, each nation may have different endurance, but for harvest, all nations work the same.

Chen Ying's order to Duan Zhigan was very strict, if he let a grain of wheat stay in the field, or if it was snatched away by the Tuyuhun people, he would wait for the fertile land!

The mixer used in road construction has been modified and turned into a grain de-strength machine, but the most important thing in Duan Zhigan's hands is war horses or mules, donkeys and cows, looking at a field, a field has been harvested, Duan Zhigan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Except for Duan Zhigan's expectations, the Tuyuhun people did not make trouble, and the remnants of Gao Changguo did not make trouble, which made Duan Zhigan feel very surprised.

The entire Western Regions is on the crater of the volcano, and I don't know when it will erupt.

However, it was not the Western Regions that broke out first, but the Hedong region.

Li Shi's militia divided into three routes and killed outside the Great Wall.

However, after leaving the Great Wall, Li Shimin felt that something was wrong. He didn't even see a single Turkic tribe, except for the sporadic Turkic scouts, he didn't encounter any enemies at all.

"Mowgli, why did you say the Turks suddenly disappeared?" Li Shimin's eyes kept staring at the map, and his brows were twisted into a big pimple.

Eldest Sun Wuji smiled, his eyes were about to narrow into a slit: "Our army is vigorous, and the armor is fine, these are not secrets, and the Turks are not stupid, they will definitely not face the enemy head-on." ”

Hou Junji said: "If I am in command, I will definitely hide the main force in the mountainous area of Yeyin Mountain, wait for you to attack from afar, and at the same time send a large number of elite rangers to constantly harass and exhaust you, and wait until your physical strength and supplies are almost exhausted before you will go out and surround you!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, smacked his lips, and said: "The fortified walls are clear, the rangers are harassing, and waiting for work, these routines are very familiar to the Turks, and I don't know how many famous generals have been planted on these three-plate axes." ”

At this moment, Fang Xuanling was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but I don't think it will be so simple." I always have a feeling that the Turks seem to have known for a long time that we are going to go out to conquer them, and they have been prepared for a long time! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was startled and exclaimed: "Xuan Ling, this joke can't be made, it will kill people!" ”

Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "Xuan Ling is really not joking, there is a huge crisis hidden ahead, if we are a little careless, we will be wiped out and shattered!" ”

Li Shimin recalled the various situations he had encountered since he left the fortress, and had to admit that Fang Xuanling was reasonable. He hated it, and said, "What bastard is so mad as to divulge such secrets to the Turks? Lao Tzu split him! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered: "Who else can there be besides that group of people?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Wuji, you can't talk nonsense, there is no evidence, and you have to be responsible for saying this." ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Wuji is wrong, it can't be them." You must know that this battle is not only our Qin Palace, but also the four guards of the East Palace, these four guards are the descendants of His Royal Highness the Prince, even if our Xuanjia Iron Cavalry can't beat it, you can still run, most of the four guards are foot soldiers, if they are surrounded, they don't even have a chance to run. It would not be good for them to leak this information. ”

Li Shimin frowned: "Then who is it?" ”

Fang Xuanling suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, but shook his head again.

When Li Shimin saw Fang Xuanling's expression, he guessed what he thought. Li Shimin asked, "Who is it?" ”

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness King Qin's final layout and troop movements, the number of people who know is very limited, even General Qin and General Cheng only knew the news before they sent troops, but now that the Turks have retreated very cleanly, they must have known the news very early." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes widened: "You mean there are traitors among us?" ”

Hou Junji's knife was pulled out in an instant: "Who is it?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Does His Royal Highness King Qin remember that a month ago, Wang Renbiao came to His Royal Highness the King of Qin to intercede for Princess Tong'an?" ”

Li Shimin vaguely remembered such a thing, when he was in the room the sand table was not covered, until Wang Renbiao entered the room, Li Shimin did not cover it. If you have a good memory, you can see all the arrangements at a glance.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "No matter who it is, this king will never let them go!" ”

Du Ruhui frowned slightly, and said, "The account must be calculated, but what now?" We're already stuck in the quagmire now, and as time goes on, we'll only sink deeper and deeper, and if we can't find a way to deal with it, this grassland will be our grave! ”

Hou Junji scratched his head and said, "I really can't think of any way...... The tactics of the Turks are too scoundrel! ”

Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Scoundrel? To deal with such scoundrel tactics, you can only use even more scoundrel tactics! ”

Fang Xuanling stretched out his hand, his fingers quickly gestured on the map, and muttered to himself: "The temperature has dropped rapidly before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this year's winter will definitely be even more difficult than last year...... That's right, their purpose is to grab food! And our army went out of the jam in a big way, disrupting their plans, and they had to use the forces that were originally intended to be used to break the border and grab food against us! It is irritating that they are so strong that we can't find them, and we can only consume supplies in vain on the grassland, but they also let us be delayed, and they will never dare to attack the Biansai easily before destroying us, because once they attack the Biansai, it is equivalent to giving us a clear goal, and we can bite them! ”

Li Shimin sighed helplessly and said, "So what? These damn scoundrels can just keep hiding, don't attack the side plugs, and continue to spend time with us! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you still afraid that you can't afford to spend it with the Turks?" Don't forget that this year's grain in Hedong is more than three times more than last year's, so let's consume it with the Turks to see who can't consume it first. ”

Li Shimin nodded emphatically and said: "Then consume, inform Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, let them shrink their forces, back to the Great Wall, and consume them to the end!" ”

……

When Li Xiuning received Chen Ying's letter, it was already mid-September in the fourth year of Wude. Of course, Chen Ying did not plagiarize four lines of poetry in the end to replace the family letter. He knew the truth that the beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars, and he wrote a long letter of 10,000 words with Li Xiuning in the vernacular.

Thanks, full of love. This made Li Xiuning read it more than ten times, and Li Xiuning felt Chen Ying's love from Chen Ying's letter. There is also Chen Ying's guilt.

In order to express his guilt towards Li Xiuning, Chen Ying decided to hand over the right to take his son's name to Li Xiuning. Li Xiuning put down the letter, hugged his son, and said affectionately: "Your father has sent a letter, let me give you a name, what should I call you?" ”

The little chubby baby looked at Li Xiuning and could only smile uncharacteristically.

Li Xiuning teased her son while thinking about what name her son should take. Li Xiuning patted his forehead and said, "You will be called mighty in the future, right?" ”

At this moment, Li Jiancheng came from outside the door and asked curiously, "What might?" ”

Li Jiancheng naturally didn't need to pass on the news when he entered Chenjiabao, and their brother and sister had a good relationship, so they came in directly.

Li Xiuning raised his head and said with a smile: "How about my son's name, how about being called Weiwu?" ”

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "This name is too cheesy!" ”

Li Xiuning patted his forehead, wondering: "What's it called?" ”

Li Jiancheng thought about it and reached out to take the little fat baby.

Nephew Xiang Uncle, this is not bad at all. When Li Jiancheng was holding Li Xiuning's son, the little fat baby looked at Li Jiancheng and smiled, and even reached out to pull Li Jiancheng's beard.

Xiaopang's strength is not small, and Li Jiancheng grinned in pain, but Li Jiancheng still did not have any anger, he looked at Li Xiuning with a smile and said: "The strength is not small, and he will be a good man in the future!" ”

"Of course, this is my son, he must be a hero!" Li Xiuning smiled very proudly: "His father is the general of Zhenguo, and his mother is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and he will definitely be blessed and noble in the future." Big brother, what do you think about calling him Rong'er? ”

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "It's not good, it's not good!" ”

Li Xiuning said: "This is not good, that is not good, so what is the best name?" ”

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "A humble gentleman, with the big river, it is better to take a word name, humble, the humble is humble, the humble is humble, and the humble is also respectful." Again, the humble one, the handle of virtue is also ......"

Li Xiuning teased the little fat baby and said with a smile: "Did you hear that?" Your uncle gave you a name, Qian'er, Qian'er, you will be called Hou Mo Chen Qian in the future! ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiuning suddenly turned around, looked at Li Jiancheng and said: "Big brother, let's say it, my son must be the hereditary prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he will retire with the country!" ”

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, below the national duke, the title decreases from generation to generation. The son inherits to the county duke, and the grandson inherits to the county duke, and then he will be demoted to the rank of marquis.

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "This is natural, I can still treat my nephew badly, don't worry, I will keep the position of General Zhenguo in the future." It's your credit and it's his fate! ”

Li Xiuning raised his head proudly: "Since it is fate, I have to fight for him for my mother." ”

In the past, Li Xiuning never considered his own interests, such as Yulu and Yongyetian. According to Chen Ying's title, he is a first-class Duke of Liang Guogong and should have 4,000 mu of Yongye, while Li Xiuning enjoys Prince Yipin and has 10,000 mu of Yongye land. In fact, these rewards are just empty promises.

In fact, being born well is more important than working hard. Chen Qian was born as a first-class duke, and he enjoyed the grace of his parents exclusively, with as many as 14,000 acres of land alone.
