"Zhonglian, Shanglin Village has already started making firearms?"

"Yes!"

"Little brother is still in Jinyang Academy?"

"Yes! The second prince was sent by the Sun Governor's Mansion to protect him, but in fact restricted the second son's actions and prevented him from leaving Jinyang Mansion. ”

A smile appeared on Luo Qing's face, he naturally knew that Sun Jixian was afraid that something would happen to Luo Xin, and he could imagine the depression on his younger brother's face, just thinking about it, he felt funny in his heart.

"Then who is making firearms in Shanglin Village?"

"They are all from the house, and they didn't let others know. The gunpowder is made by the villain and the big pillar, and the other objects are made by the people of the house, and the last step of the charging process is only done by me and the big pillar. ”

Luo Qing nodded, he also knew that the most important part of firearms was the production of gunpowder, and without the black powder made by the younger brother, it would lose its power.

"Okay, go back and tell my little brother, and I'll send someone there when the time comes."

"Yes, eldest son, the villain will go back."

"Well, I won't keep you either. Let's go, I'll send you. ”

A month has passed in a hurry, and the villages in the border pass are still robbed by Mongolian cavalry from time to time, which makes the Ming border army have no way. It's not that the Ming border army doesn't go out to find those Mongolian cavalry, since the defeat of Alatan Khan, the spirit of the Ming border army has also come up, not only Xuanfu Ma Fang, but also the general soldiers of other border towns are also holding their breath, wanting to kill a few Mongolian soldiers, and not let Ma Fang specialize in the front.

As if overnight, these border troops were no longer afraid of the Mongol soldiers, and the defeat of Alatan Khan, especially the loss of an arm, shattered the image of the invincibility of the Mongol soldiers. The image of Alatan Khan is now like a water dog in the hearts of the border army.

However, the mobility of the Mongol cavalry was simply too strong. They come and go like the wind, and if they see a small force of the Ming border army, they will attack and kill the Ming border army. If they encountered a large force of the Ming border army, they fled like the wind, which made the Ming border army very headache. At the same time, this situation also made Ma Fang more determined, and decided to send a cavalry deep into the grassland, like the Mongols attacked the Ming Dynasty to attack Mongolia, and attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son.

There are frequent wars outside, but there is peace in the Jinyang Academy, and Luo Xin also locks himself in the academy every day, does not take a step out of the academy, and talks with friends in the room all day long. When no one was around, he began to sort out the materials that Lu Daqing brought back from Yanglin County, and began to write the second volume of "Confucius and Mencius".

Guo Yi has never seen Luo Xin since he met him. Moreover, the will of the imperial court has come down, Gongsun Lie was promoted to 100 households and became the leader of more than 20 of them, even Xiang Donglin and the other three people were also promoted to the rank of chief, which made Guo Yi and others very envious. I was even more looking forward to seeing Luo Xin again, but Luo Xin seemed to be preparing for the township exam and never took a step out of the school.

As for the two Sun Jixian's personal soldiers, they still take turns to go to the gate of the school every day to monitor. It's just that he is not as attentive as before, and he often either lowers his head and thinks about his thoughts, or looks around at the excitement, I am afraid that Luo Xin walked out of the gate of the school. They may not be able to see it.

this day.

Luo Xin was reading a book in the room, when he saw Lu Daqing walking in from outside, and said in a low voice:

"Uncle, my father is here."

Luo Xin looked up and saw Lu Zhonglian standing at the door. His eyes lit up and he said, "It's started?" ”

"Hmm!" Lu Zhonglian said with an excited face: "The eldest prince has already sent someone to come, saying that he is waiting for us in the valley next to the Rabbit Ridge where we used to hide. Let Gao Wu take some people to wait for his uncle outside Jinyang Mansion. ”

"Good! Let's go! ”

In the dense forest next to the Drinking Dragon River.

Zhao Yong sat on the grass, biting a piece of grass in his mouth. From time to time, he glanced out of the forest. This time, Ma Fang finally made up his mind to send a cavalry deep into the grassland. In fact, Ma Fang also knew in his heart that only in this way could Alatan Khan have scruples and no longer dare to easily send Mongolian cavalry to attack and plunder the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, if the Mongolian cavalry attacked the Ming border pass, his little credit would be slowly wiped out.

He believed that everything that happened at the border would be put on the desk of Jiajingdi by Jinyiwei, and if this situation could not be curbed, Emperor Jiajing's patience would also be worn out, and his hard-won position would be in jeopardy.

He hadn't thought of this strategy before, but now that Luo Xin mentioned it, his heart tickled as if there were a hundred cats scratching. Ma Fang is worthy of being a madman, if it weren't for his high status, he would have personally led a cavalry into the grassland to live a habit of Huo Qu's illness. And in history, Ma Fang did send cavalry deep into the steppe to burn the Mongols' pastures, but because of the arrival of Luo Xin, this action was advanced.

Luo Qing must be involved in this matter, otherwise once he succeeds, he will let Luo Xin know that he has not given Luo Qing credit for the profit, which will offend Luo Xin. As for sending Luo Qing to the depths of the grassland, once he dies in the grassland, it is fate, and he can't be blamed Ma Fang.

However, he couldn't let Luo Qing command the troops, and he still had some distrust of Luo Qing in Ma Fang's heart. It's not that he doesn't trust Luo Qing's character, but he doesn't trust Luo Qing's age, after all, Luo Qing is only sixteen years old, and such a dangerous action can't be placed on Luo Qing's shoulders.

You must know that in this operation, Ma Fang is ready to send 2,000 people, these two thousand people are carefully selected by Ma Fang, and they can be said to be the most elite cavalry under Ma Fang, if these two thousand people die in the grassland, Ma Fang's strength will be greatly reduced, and this charge may be used, there are many people in the court who are staring at him, and there are also many people staring at his position.

Therefore, if the operation could not be won, it could not lose too much. This requires an older and calmer general, and in the end Ma Fang chose Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong was the official commander of this cavalry, and Luo Xin was the deputy commander. In the middle of the moonlit night, he quietly left the Xuanfu and sneaked into the north.

When you cross the Yinlong River, you are actually close to the edge of the grassland, and if you go further, you will enter the grassland. At this time, Luo Qing proposed that he lead a part of the cavalry into the grassland to explore first. Zhao Yong naturally did not object to Luo Qing's proposal, but just told Luo Qing not to start a war with the Mongolian soldiers easily, this operation is mainly based on exploration, and all actions will wait until Luo Qing returns, and everyone will discuss before taking action.

Luo Qing naturally agreed, and then galloped towards the grassland with two hundred cavalry. These 200 cavalry are all his descendants, after Luo Qing stayed away from the Yinlong River, he crossed the river and returned upstream, went straight to Tu'er Ridge, and then hidden, sent 20 cavalry, led by Gao Wu, and went straight to Shanglin Village.
