Wu Ermao and Shangguan Siyu looked at each other after reading the message, but they didn't dare to speak, and they both looked at Li Zicheng with suspicious eyes.

"Such an important military message has been shown to you, and it is naturally related to you," Li Zicheng smiled lightly: "How about it, dare you?" ”

"Dare!" Wu Ermao and Shangguan Siyu both arched their hands and said: "As long as the emperor orders, Weichen and the others will pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they will never be ambiguous!"

"Don't alcohol work, do you?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "This time it is not in the Han land, but to the cold land in the north." ”

"As long as the emperor orders, it will be a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and Wechen will also go to the front line in person to get the enemy's head back," Wu Ermao said: "Wechen knows that the emperor has formed a shadowless team just for today's battle." ”

"No, today is just a small test," Li Zicheng said indifferently: "If you are qualified, I will give you more important tasks!"

Wu Ermao was a little impatient, the emperor used a lot of money to raise the shadowless team, so naturally he wanted to use it in key places, "The emperor will order, the brothers are ready!"

Li Zicheng didn't answer, but asked, "How many people have been trained by the Shadowless Clan?" ”

"Back to the emperor, after the elimination of manpower last time, including Weichen and Shangguan, there are still thirty-seven people left," Wu Ermao said: "The emperor can rest assured, they are all heroes with one enemy and one hundred, although the training has not yet ended, but they can go out at any time!"

Li Zicheng nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "It's cold outside the gate, Ermao is old, so there is no need to go on the expedition, let Shangguan lead the team to go on the expedition, in addition to Ermao, there are two instructors left, continue to recruit manpower, and the training must not stop!"

"Your Majesty," Wu Ermao protested: "Although Weichen's martial arts are not as good as Shangguan, this is a brother who is personally trained by Weichen, and Weichen knows their strengths and weaknesses...... This is the first time the Shadowless Clan has gone on an expedition, and Wechen must go to ......"

"Ermao ......"

"Wechen knows that the emperor is compassionate, but the brothers went out to fight outside the customs, and Wechen stayed in the capital alone, and Wechen was uneasy!" Wu Ermao suddenly left his seat and bowed to the ground, "Ask the emperor to be fulfilled!"

"Ermao, hurry up," Li Zicheng shook his head and sighed, "Ermao is not only my brother, but also my humerus!"

"Wechen thank you for the emperor's trust," Wu Ermao said again: "Your Majesty, Wechen is waiting for this time to ...... customs."

Li Zicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You only need to obey my orders, bring the materials you need, bring them yourself, the materials are lost, you can take them from the Mongols, or you can get them from the first battalion!"

"Wechen understands!"

"Ermao, Shangguan, I hope that thirty-five of you will be able to return to Beijing after thirty-five of you get out of the fortress!" Li Zicheng got up and patted Wu Ermao and Shangguan Siyu on the shoulders, "Let's rest for half a day, pack up the luggage for the trip, and set off again tomorrow morning!"

"Wechen and others obey the order!"

Li Zicheng summoned Liang Wencheng, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance.

The three of them already knew the information, the document was sent back by the first battalion, and the Ministry of Defense received the information and first handed it over to Liang Wencheng, who could not make a decision, so it was forwarded to the emperor.

Li Zicheng looked at Liang Wencheng, who was nervous, and said with a smile: "Wencheng is worried that I will go to the expedition in person?" ”

Liang Wencheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it is winter now, and I am afraid that it is already snowing on the grassland, and this season will not only cause the soldiers to be frozen, but also the transportation of grain and grass is also inconvenient, so it is better to ......."

"Why not as good as what?"

"According to the minister, it is better to lift the frost after the beginning of spring, and then use troops outside the customs at that time!"

Li Zicheng glanced at Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, "Do Aiqing people think the same way?" ”

Niu Jinxing arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Liang's words are very reasonable, the minister is just worried that many changes will occur in the past few months......

Song Xiance said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to transfer troops from the customs this time, right?" ”

Li Zicheng laughed, "Wen Cheng has always been busy with government affairs, and his military intelligence is not as good as your two subordinates!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified......"

"Wen Cheng is in charge of the overall situation, his main energy is on government affairs, and he is worried about Huaxia's money, no wonder you," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "However, Niu Aiqing and Song Aiqing have already planned for me!"

“……”

"Niu Aiqing is right, if you wait until next spring, in the next few months, the greatest possibility is that the Sunit people in Weiye and Gaogang counties will flee far away from Mobei," Li Zicheng said: "They escaped, and there is not much direct loss to Huaxia, but the impact is very bad, and it is very likely to cause others to follow suit!"

Liang Wencheng frowned and said, "Is the emperor ready to punish severely?" ”

"Huaxia sent tens of thousands of cavalry, costing countless money and food, originally to rescue the Sunits," Li Zicheng said coldly: "If such an ungrateful person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge can't be severely punished, will Huaxia be the most wronged?" Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished, and it will be the same for soldiers, officials and ordinary people!"

"Is the emperor going to use the first battalion?" Liang Wencheng knew that the first battalion had not returned to Beijing and was still outside the customs, and at this time it might be in Weiye and Gaogang counties.

"It's not enough," Li Zicheng said, "So I plan to mobilize the tiger cavalry and the wolf cavalry to test the loyalty of the newly returned herdsmen in Shanggu and Raole!"

Liang Wencheng was puzzled, "Your Majesty, in the two counties of Weiye and Gaogang, there are less than 2,000 strong Sunit people, and the first battalion is to surround them, which can also deter them......"

"The people who betrayed Huaxia are just deterrent?" Li Zicheng said: "I want to use their betrayal to deter others, don't have different intentions towards Huaxia, otherwise, the Sunit people's today is their tomorrow!"

Liang Wencheng was shocked, "Does the emperor want to exterminate the clan?" ”

"Not necessarily, it depends on how many Sunit people are blind," Li Zicheng smiled faintly: "Besides, the first battalion, tiger cavalry, and wolf cavalry need a lot of supplies when they go out, and they can't transport them out of the customs for a while, so they can only take it themselves!"

His idea is that the smaller the population on the grasslands, the less pasture is needed, which will reduce the desertification of the land caused by overgrazing, and it is now unpredictable whether crops can be grown on the grasslands, and the best way to reduce the population is until large-scale farming.

The Sunit people died by themselves and gave Huaxia a chance!

Liang Wencheng was silent, he was born in the army, and he knew that Li Zicheng was right, but the extermination of the Sunit people seemed to be against the peace of heaven, and the emperor would not order the extermination of the race, but the first battalion, the tiger cavalry, and the wolf cavalry were all cavalry, for the sake of food, who knows if they would exterminate the Sunits?

In particular, the tiger cavalry and the wolf cavalry have always liked to kill and blood......

If they attack with all their might, the Chinese army will have an absolute advantage in Weiye and Gaogang counties, and no one will ever regard the people as their lives on the battlefield without constraints.

Extermination!

Liang Wencheng only has these two words in his heart, Huaxia is about to start exterminating the precedent!

However, when he heard that there was no need to transport a large amount of grain and grass outside the customs, his heart felt a little better, could this be what the emperor said about "feeding war with war"?

Niu Jinxing thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the two counties of Weiye and Gaogang have less than two thousand people, even if they hand over all their belongings, they can't provide supplies to the first battalion, tiger cavalry, and wolf cavalry, is it ......?"

Song Xiancemeng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The emperor summoned the ministers, so that the ministers could prepare enough officials, right?" ”

Liang Wencheng was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, "Is the emperor going to raid the Manchu Ulanqab League?" ”

"Wen Cheng finally understood my thoughts," Li Zicheng said: "The last time I went out of the customs, I wanted to destroy this Ulanqab League, relieve the military pressure of the Linhe Governor's Mansion, and had to let the seventh battalion go up, the first battalion is infantry, in the open grassland, it is difficult to give full play to its own advantages, and barely protect the Linhe Governor's Mansion, this time Sunit is in turmoil, I have to make up my mind, only by solving the Ulanqab League, the Linhe Governor's Mansion will be worry-free!"

Liang Wencheng was still a little worried, "Your Majesty, a large-scale march of troops in the rainy and snowy weather in winter ......"

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Wen Cheng rest assured, this time I will not personally recruit, all military merits will be left to these cavalry stationed outside the pass!"

"That's great!" Liang Wen knew that he had never persuaded the emperor, and the emperor finally didn't have to recruit in person, "Your Majesty, what are the ministers going to do now?" ”

Li Zicheng said: "Although the cavalry was allowed to collect their own food outside the pass, the number of the first battalion was too large, and the soldiers may not be suitable for beef and mutton jerky, so they still had to transport some grain and grass as much as possible to prevent non-combat attrition." ”

"Obey the order!"

"Song Aiqing has already understood his duties," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Send people to the customs as soon as possible, prefects, counties, etc., they can't be too old, but it's best to have a certain amount of experience as an official and be loyal to Huaxia......"

"The emperor can rest assured," Song Xiance arched his hand and said: "The minister knows that sooner or later the emperor will take down this Ulanqab League in the west, so the minister has long been careful, these officials can leave at any time!"

"Okay, good ......" Li Zicheng said in his heart, this Song Xiance is really the true character of a fortune teller!

Song Xiance said cautiously: "Your Majesty, how to deal with this Ulanqab League in the future, the ministers should send corresponding officials......

Li Zicheng unfolded the march map outside the pass and said, "Once the entire Ulanqab League is incorporated into China, the Linhe Governor's Mansion in the west will no longer exist," he pointed to a point in the map, "Naturalization City, Naturalization City will be the center, and the Governor's Mansion will be re-established!"

The three of them all got up, and surrounded this not necessarily accurate march map, Liang Wencheng said: "This future Governor's Mansion will include Shuofang Mansion in the Yellow River, Wuyuan Mansion and Guihua Mansion north of the Yellow River, and what about the Hexi Governor's Mansion further west......"

"The Hexi Governor's Mansion is temporarily independent," Li Zicheng's mind is to submerge the Hexi Governor's Mansion into Gansu and protect the narrow Hexi Corridor, "Inside the Naturalization Mansion, there are also great differences in itself, the Naturalization City used to be a trade exchange place between Mongolia and the Han land, and it has close ties with the Han people, and it has the conditions for farming, and it will be an independent mansion!"

Liang Wencheng hurriedly said: "What does the emperor mean by treating the Naturalization Mansion as an excessive land for farming and nomadism? "I was also a little excited that if I had the conditions for farming, Guihua Mansion would soon become a Han land.

"Wen Cheng is right, as long as the cultivated land in the Naturalization Mansion is erected, it will be extended in all directions, even if the grain yield is not high, at least it is much higher than the output of the pasture."

Song Xiance said: "Yes, yes, as long as there is farmland, the local people can be fixed on the land!"

Liang Wencheng was already familiar with Li Zicheng's naturalization methods, and continued: "When necessary, you can move some Han people to the naturalization city!"

Li Zicheng said happily: "As long as the Ulanqab League belongs to Huaxia, I can build it on a large scale...... Wen Cheng doesn't need to stare, at most, I will build a road from Guannai to Guihua City, and the rest of the places will just open up official roads, so that the people can live along the official roads, which is convenient for management......"

Song Xiance said: "Your Majesty, what is this new governor's mansion called, is it still called the Linhe Governor's Mansion?" ”

Li Zicheng shook his head, the Linhe Governor's Mansion was originally a temporary title, and sooner or later it will be revoked, and the new Governor's Mansion will be a province in the future.

He had already thought about it, since the east side is called the "Xing'an Governor's Mansion", which is borrowed from the Great Xing'an Mountains, and the west side is also borrowed from the mountain range, "The north of the Naturalization City is close to the Great Qingshan, so it will be called the Qingshan Governor's Mansion, this governor is still served by Sun Chuanting, he has been outside the customs for a long time, and he is familiar with the local situation!"
