This team of men and horses was Zhang Sheng and Li Qichen, who Sun Kewang sent to the Golden Horde to observe the war, and the team of nearly 1,000 people quickly attracted the attention of the Jin army in Dunduo City.

In a short time, the gates of the city were opened, and nearly a thousand cavalry were killed, and their hooves were loud and dusty, and soon they came to the front of the team and reined in their horses, and shouted: "Where are the men and horses? ”

Zhang Sheng, who was riding on a horse, removed the face towel that covered the wind and sand, and leaked a rough face, "It's the general!" ”

Seeing that it was Zhang Sheng, the general who came up hurriedly led the soldiers behind him to turn over and dismount, and said in surprise: "The military gate is back!" ”

Zhang Sheng waved his hand and asked, "Can the prince be in the city?" ”

"The prince is not in Dundo, he went to Qiuzi to see Tuntian a few days ago!"

A few days later, at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Qiuci City, an important town of the Jin Army's Tuntian, Zhang Sheng and Li Qichen left their brigade in Dunduo, and hurried to Qiuci to meet Sun Kewang, the king of Anxi who inspected Tuntian here.

When the city was first built, it was still dominated by large camps and tents, and only a very small part of them were made of sand, and most of them were inhabited by officials and generals.

At this time, Sun Kewang was watching in front of a map, he was preparing to restore the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty and strengthen his control over the Western Regions, but the original places were deserted, and many areas were deserted, and he was thinking about where to set up the new four towns.

"Lord Wang, General Zhang and General Li have arrived!" Outside the earthen house, a soldier saluted.

When the two of them arrived outside the city, someone had already reported it, so Sun Kewang was not surprised, but said casually, "Let them in!" ”

After a short time, the two dusty generals entered the house and saluted, "See the prince." ”

Zhang Sheng and Li Qichen did not rest much in Dun, but ran all the way to Qiuzi, so they did not report the matter to the west in advance.

Sun Kewang looked at them and smiled slightly: "The two of you have worked hard all the way. It's been more than half a year, but what have you gained! ”

Zhang Sheng and Li Qichen glanced at each other, they did gain a lot this time, but now they have more important things to report.

"Lord, the Golden Horde is over." Zhang Sheng suddenly clenched his fists and sighed before speaking.

When Sun Kewang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed, "What, what about the Golden Horde?" What's going on here? ”

Suddenly hearing such news, Sun Kewang was not prepared at all.

This is really pouring blood mold, why can't the Mongols help the mud?

Jin Guo helped Wu Keshan, Wu Keshan was driven to the barren land in the far north, Jin Guo helped the Golden Horde, and the Golden Horde was also finished.

What is this called, just return the children and grandchildren of the damn Temujin, Sun Kewang's workshop is still making guns and cannons for them, isn't this a pit man?

"Lord, before the Golden Horde, with the support of firearms and large and small Yuzi, it was still a good fight, and it was barely evenly matched with the Rakshasas, but the Rakshasas were determined to destroy the Golden Horde, and they continued to draw troops from the west to replenish, and the situation slowly changed." Zhang Sheng continued: "By February, the Rakshasas on the west bank of the Volga River were close to 100,000 people, of which 60,000 cavalry, called Cossacks, were actually more ferocious than the Mongol cavalry. Ayuqi Khan in the decisive battle with the Rakshasas, the command error, the cavalry failed to break through the Rakshasa infantry formation, the Rakshasa cavalry took the opportunity to counterattack, a group of Cossacks rushed into the Mongols' middle army, killed Ayuqi Khan, more than 200,000 Mongols collapsed in an instant. Seeing this, the monk could only take the remnants of the army to the direction of Yuzi country. ”

Li Qichen also said: "The Rakshasa people's infantry arms account for seventy percent, most of them are arquebuses, less than half are self-generated guns, and thirty percent are pikemen, and the tactics are similar to those of the Ming army, all of them are killed by platoon guns, and their infantry is equipped with field artillery, which we don't have." In addition, the Cossack cavalry, after understanding the humble duties, found that they were very similar to the early Eight Banners, they were all born for war, full of wildness, not worse than the Mongol cavalry at all, and even much stronger. ”

Sun Kewang frowned, he thought that the Golden Horde and the Rakshasas would fight for at least a few years, so that he would have the opportunity to earn a lot of cattle and sheep, but he didn't want to, he was defeated so quickly.

Sun Kewang groaned for a while, depressed as if he had eaten, and then said in a deep voice: "What's the situation with the monk and Yuzi now, don't you want the artillery and bird guns that were set before?" ”

The Jin court sent a lot of craftsmen from Guanzhong, and Sun Kewang had just put up the shelves and was preparing for production, if the Golden Horde was gone, it would be troublesome.

"The monk retreated to Xiaoyuzi, gathered tens of thousands of Mongols, and united with Yuzi to resist the Rakshasa attack on Yuz, but the humble position felt that the future was worrying, they had just been defeated, and it was impossible for them to be the opponent of the Rakshasas." Zhang Sheng replied.

Li Qichen said: "Lord Wang, the monks have suffered heavy losses, and there are definitely no cattle and sheep to exchange the bird guns and muskets set by the Golden Horde, but Yuzi Khan has approached us, and they want to resist the Rakshasas, so I hope to buy some firearms." In addition, the Rakshasas have entered the territory of Yuz, and Yuz Khan hopes that the prince will send troops to support them. ”

Sun Kewang heard this and hurriedly walked to the edge of the map and looked at it for a while, the Rakshasa people entered Yuzi so quickly, that is, the later Kazakhstan region, and it would not be long before they had to meet the Jin country.

Sun Kewang couldn't calm down now, he had guessed that it might be the pattern of Jin destroying Liao and Mongolia destroying Qianjin back then, so he didn't stab the Mongols from behind, but he didn't stab the knives, but the Mongols were still defeated.

The Rakshasa Kingdom can defeat the Mongols in such a short time, it is definitely a country of tigers and wolves, and being a neighbor of such a country is definitely not a good thing for the Jin Kingdom.

In this way, the Jin State is equal to being sandwiched between the two great powers of the East and the West. Sun Kewang is also the king of Anxi, and this Rakshasa country will inevitably become his opponent.

Sun Kewang was silent for a while, and then said: "The bird guns in the workshop can be sold to Yuzi, but after that, don't make bird guns, all of them are made from fire guns and light iron cannons." ”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for sending troops to help Yuzi. This king can't be the master of this matter, and he needs to go to the court first. ”

……

When the western front of the Jin Kingdom was turbulent, the eastern front, which was calm on the surface, was actually surging with undercurrents.

As the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, the Jin State was also the only enemy worthy of the Ming Dynasty's efforts to deal with in the near future, how could the Ming Dynasty let them go and let them develop?

At this time, in the mansion of the prison state, Wang Yan was discussing the issue of the Jin country with several people.

Wang Yan chatted with a few people while drinking tea: "Jinyiwei came to report and found that there are already people planting bud valleys in the area of Yan'an Mansion in northern Shaanxi, and it seems that our containment strategy has not succeeded. The bud valley was obtained by Jin Guo, and I am afraid that sweet potatoes and potatoes are not far away. ”

"Prison country, it is said that the Jin country promised a heavy reward, willing to exchange the same amount of silver for these crops, the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, there will inevitably be people who will not hesitate their lives to send these things to the Jin country, and our dynasty has delayed for so long, in fact, it is not easy!" Gu Yanwu opened his mouth and said.

Wang Yan bowed slightly, "That's what I said, but if the Jin country gets these crops, the grain output will inevitably increase, and I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to attack the Jin country, so it seems that it is better to step up preparations to attack the Jin country!" ”

Last year, the Ming Dynasty basically solved the hidden dangers of the north and the south, so the main target of this year is the Jin country.

In fact, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has already set a plan for the five-way attack of the Jin State, attacking from the five directions of Hetao, Tongguan, Shangyong, Jianmen Pass, and Qinghai, but the current forces have not yet been deployed in place, and the news of the alliance between Donghu and the Jin State has been obtained, and it needs to be redeployed, so it has not yet been implemented.

Chen Yonghua said with a smile, "Prison Country, there are many ways to attack the Jin Kingdom, and it is not necessary to use soldiers, and other methods can also kill people invisibly." ”

Seeing Chen Yonghua's expression, Wang Yan couldn't help asking, "Fufu, what do you think?" ”

Chen Yonghua arched his hand, "The thing that the prison party is worried about is nothing more than that the Jin country has enough money and food, the people are stable, the land is favorable, and it is not easy to attack. Then we can find a way to make chaos within the Jin Kingdom, can't we? ”

Wang Yan smiled, "How can there be such a way." ”

This year is the ninth year of the Yongzhang of the Jin Kingdom, and the people of Guanzhong did not want to see the Ming Dynasty, and the Jin Kingdom has indeed done well over the years. The tug-of-war between the Ming and Qing dynasties lasted for more than ten years, and after the Ming Dynasty recovered Nanjing, there was also the Tanglu Rebellion, but the Guanzhong area of the Jin State was stable for eight or nine years, and the people had already returned to their hearts, and it was not easy to want the Jin civil strife.

Chen Yonghua stood up and smiled, he arched his hand to Wang Yan and several adults, attracting everyone's attention.

Today was a casual conversation, not formal, so everyone was not paying attention, and Wang Yan didn't pay much attention to it, but seeing that he looked like he was going to perform, he couldn't help but say: "Fufu really has a way?" ”

"Jianguo, this time the imperial court has expanded its army by 200,000, what will Jin Guo think when he gets the news?" Chen Yonghua continued to sell Guanzi.

Xia Wanchun didn't like him like this, he was too pretending, he put down the teacup down, "Naturally, I'm so scared that I quickly expand my armaments!" President Chen, hurry up and say it, don't adjust your appetite. ”

Chen Yonghua said: "Yes, the Jin State will definitely expand its armaments and war, but the Jin State is not as strong as our dynasty, and they have expanded their army too much, which is not a good thing at first sight, it will only drag down their finances." If we come to give him a heavy blow at this time and destroy the commerce, economy and agriculture of the Jin Kingdom, the hearts of the Jin Kingdom will inevitably fluctuate, and then the imperial court will send troops again, and it will be easy to break it! ”

The Ming Dynasty expanded its army, and the Jin State was forced to expand its army, so it could only expand its army, but in terms of national strength, it was obviously impossible for the Jin State to catch up with the Ming Dynasty militarily.

Although the cost of raising soldiers in the Jin State is lower than that of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant soldiers who only take care of food do not work, and to fight against the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, even if the salary of the Jin Army is low, but the guns and equipment always have to be paid, and the elite soldiers must be separated from production if they want to train the elite soldiers, which will consume the national strength of the Jin State.

Wang Yan understood this after thinking about it for a while, but how to destroy the commerce and agriculture of the Jin Kingdom? He couldn't figure it out, so he hurriedly said, "Fufu quickly continue······"
