Mao Yuanyi was moved in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Before leaving, Sun Gebu was still very embarrassed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info At that time, he said that there are fewer cars and horses, I'm afraid it won't be of much use, after all, once Daishan and others return, it will be difficult for the imperial court to make up its mind to fight with Jianyu again, and whether Jianyu will withdraw from the army, it seems that it is still difficult to say. Although the cabinet lord didn't know that Jianyu had destroyed Guangning, as well as Jinzhou and other cities, I don't know why he refused to abandon the Thirteen Mountains? The cabinet lord judged that it may be that the main goal of the Jianyu in the past two years was to surrender Horqin and other troops, and then attack Lin Dan Khan, but the area around the Thirteen Mountains could not become a place for the northern captives to assemble in any case, or a place for the logistics supply of the eastern captives, so it is really difficult to understand why they are holding on to it.

Hearing this, Zhang Han and Kong Minxing glanced at each other.

The reason for Jianyu's refusal to leave is very simple, I am afraid that now Mao Yuanyi also knows, with the scale of Heyusheng today, the number of materials transported is already very important to Jianyu, such an important grain route, and it is close to the area from Inner Khalkha to Korqin to Guangning, and then go straight to the border wall outside Shenyang, and finally climb over the side wall to reach Shenyang.

When it's cold, you use a sleigh to climb the plow, and when it's hot, you can use a small cart and a large number of mules and horses, and a grain team passes by almost every day.

And Yusheng's cart pulls six or seven thousand catties, a small cart pushes four hundred catties, a cart of grain has to be transported by more than ten small cars, the specified mileage of the cart is sixty miles a day, and the small cart will go twenty miles a day, and Yusheng sends a trip to grain, and when the next grain cart arrives again, the first time the grain ants move as if it has not been moved.

In winter, the plow will pull three or four hundred catties, and a large number of dogs are needed to pull, so Houjin has been working hard to make He Yusheng's convoy go farther in the direction of Liaodong, and even go all the way to the outside of the border wall of Shenyang, Zhang Han of course resolutely refused this request.

In this way, the Houjin side can only try to keep the grain route unblocked, the Thirteen Mountains and Guangning City are almost in one place, Guangning City and Yizhou Wei are the fortresses that control the Inner Khalkha and Horqin Tribes, it is conceivable that if the Thirteen Mountains are there, the Houjin side can only maintain a considerable number of troops, at least the Thirteen Mountains can not be connected with the Ningyuan side, otherwise, the Ming army only needs to repair the Dalinghe Fort and other forts, rebuild Jinzhou, and then re-form the Hexi defense with the Thirteen Mountains, and the battle of Guangning will be in vain.

"In the next place, the cabinet lord is also quite embarrassed." Mao Yuanyi continued: "The cabinet said that if the carriage is insufficient, I am afraid that the amount of grain transported at one time will not be enough, and it is difficult for the Thirteen Mountains to continue to persevere. The captives couldn't ride, and most of them were also the idea of starving the soldiers and civilians of the Thirteen Mountains. Now that the main force of the captives is still in the grassland, if we don't seize the opportunity at the first line, after the main force returns, it will be difficult for us to supply the military and civilian food of the Thirteen Mountains. This matter is not only very concerned by the Cabinet Minister, but the Emperor has also summoned the Cabinet many times to give face-to-face lectures, and the key to everything is the ...... capacity."

Zhang Han asked, "How many chariots and horses has the imperial court mobilized?" ”

"Difficult!" Mao Yuanyi said: "It is difficult to assemble in a short period of time to dispatch carriages and horses to transport grain from inside the customs, and even if it is assembled, it will take time to get to the outside of the customs, and then the price is too high." The emperor asked the Ministry of Industry that if one million stones of grain were to be transported to the Thirteen Mountains, it would take at least one million or more losses, even if there were still tens of millions of stones of grain in Tongzhou, and the national grain reserves could not be so wasted. The place outside the customs is dilapidated, and now the imperial court only has the area from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, and the middle-aged men are either tuntian, or have been enriched into battalions, and the manpower is insufficient, and there are not too many mules and horses, let alone carts......"

Speaking of these, Mao Yuanyi also felt a little embarrassed.

In the country of Nuoda, the emperor personally paid attention, the cabinet and the six ministries operated together, plus Sun Chengzong, a local member and other civil and military generals to operate together, the result was that if you want to transport grain to the Thirteen Mountains in a short period of time, for example, this time is half a month, and at the same time you need the imperial court to send Ning Yuan soldiers and horses to cooperate to open the channel, then with the current strength of the imperial court, if you die, you can transport 5,000 stone of grain up the mountain, which is the limit of the imperial court's strength.

5,000 stone grain, less than 600,000 catties, if the soldiers and civilians on the mountain open their bellies to eat, to say something ugly, they will be eaten up in two days......

"The imperial court first transported grain as much as possible to Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan Road, and even Yongping Mansion, set up granaries along the way, sent troops to garrison, and prepared to clear the road."

Zhang Han Zhengse said: "Don't worry, Yusheng and I will do our best to help the imperial court and the soldiers and civilians of the Thirteen Mountains." ”

Kong Minxing said at this time: "It's also for ourselves, Brother Zhisheng knows that we and Yusheng also have hundreds of people trapped on the Thirteen Mountains, and they also need our help." ”

"Okay, thank you two Gao Yi." Mao Yuanyi didn't expect this trip to be so smooth, but although Zhang Han said decisively, Mao Yuanyi was still a little hesitant in his heart, he didn't know how far He Yusheng would go, Sun Chengzong was worried that although Zhang Han sent a carriage and horses, he would not do his best, if he only sent a few thousand stones of grain, I am afraid that it would not be very helpful for the long-term siege.

"Don't worry." Zhang Han seemed to see Mao Yuanyi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Everything is wrapped up in me." ”

At this time, there was a strong aroma outside, Zhang Han pushed open the window to see, dozens of people in the yard were busy, they had already peeled and cleaned a fat sheep, smeared a thick layer of sauce, and started to barbecue on the iron shelf, on the other side was to set up a cauldron, people used the well water in the yard to cook the fattest mutton pieces, and at the same time, some people kept giving roast mutton shabu sauce, and some people were preparing dipping sauce for boiled mutton, Zhang Han smiled, and said to Mao Yuanyi very happily: "Brother Zhisheng, don't be sad, come and have a good tooth sacrifice!" ”

……

Mao Yuanyi boiled mutton and barbecued meat that night, stuffed all over the belly, he is a southerner, these big meat things can not be restrained, plus was poured a belly of mare's milk wine, at that time I felt dizzy and uncomfortable, I got up in the middle of the night and vomited, I felt that the most difficult thing about this trip to the north was to eat, the smell in the house at dawn, Mao Yuanyi ran out as if he had escaped, a few handymen hurriedly entered the room to clean, Mao Yuanyi grabbed a young handyman, and asked: "Are you adults here?" ”

The miscellaneous servant smiled and said: "Sir doesn't know, our adults left before dawn in the morning, leaving a message, saying that there is an urgent military situation, he will go to Jining Fort first, and then go to Xiaohei Fort, Mr. matter, he has made a decision, and he will never regret it." If Mr. is in a hurry to go back, the military department will arrange a carriage to send Mr. away, and if he is not in a hurry, someone will also accompany Mr. to continue the tour here...... By the way, we adults left a letter, saying that some words are not easy to say in person, and all words are in the letter. ”

When the miscellaneous servant spoke, several military personnel wearing official robes and uniforms really rushed over, and a young officer with sharp eyes and tall body and quite handsome appearance bowed first, and said clearly: "Mao Zanhua, under the military order secretary Li Pingzhi, the lord has an order, call the attendant to take care of him, whether he continues to travel and visit, or rush back to Beijing and Shanhaiguan, he is called to take care of the attendant." ”

Mao Yuanyi is a scholarly family, his ancestor Mao Kun is a famous Wu literary master, and he naturally has a long entourage to take care of him, but he went north in a hurry, rode a horse and traveled all the way, and he never rested well after arriving at the grassland. ”

Li Pingzhi smiled slightly and said, "Since Lord Zanhua is in a hurry, I will also be ready, and I will hurry immediately." ”

While speaking, everyone went out together, and when they arrived outside the gate, there were already two carts waiting, and at the same time, there was a small group of light cavalry controlling horses and standing on both sides, Mao Yuanyi felt that the efficiency of doing things with Yusheng was really high, not to mention that the yamen of the Jingshi full of adults and masters could not be compared, that is, although Sun Chengzong was on the front line, he did not have the efficiency of doing things with Yusheng here!

After everyone got on the car, the team quickly came out of the east gate of the castle, and then galloped in the direction of Zhangjiakou, there are many punches along the Great Wall, but what Yusheng really grasps is still the same line, Xuanfu and Jizhen area, Jizhen and Yusheng only do small-scale soldiers, and the border generals bought some, the power is not very strong, Zhangjiakou after the baptism of the battle with the Jin merchants, the local local forces have been reintegrated with Yusheng, used by Yusheng, and the local civil and military officials are naturally all leaning towards the side of Yusheng, In this way, although the general army of Xuanfu and He Yusheng are inseparable, in fact, He Yusheng's control over Xuanfu is already very strong, but it is not as good as the interior of Xuanfu Town.

The carriage went very fast, and the simple road was also built on the grassland, which was something that Mao Yuanyi did not expect at all before rushing over, in the early morning, there were already quite a lot of people working in the farmland, and there were dozens of people in groups of people repairing and reinforcing the road, they drove hundreds of pounds of stone grinders, dragged by mules and horses, and kept reinforcing the road, and at the same time digging some drainage ditches on the side of the road, which can maximize the service life of the road.

Mao Yuanyi kept watching greedily until he smelled the smell of rice and felt some hunger in his stomach.

Li Pingzhi smiled and took out all kinds of snacks from a wooden lunch box with a rustic appearance, looking at the various side dishes and staple foods placed in front of him, Mao Yuanyi was speechless.

……

Sun Chengzong did not wash up immediately after getting up, but walked into the courtyard and punched first.

In the north, especially in the Cangzhou area of Beizhili, the practice of martial arts is quite popular, and in the Qing season, the men of the whole village are practicing martial arts, this custom began in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and was most prevalent in the Qing season.

Sun Chengzong studied as a teenager, and when he was young, he traveled to the border gates to check the actual border defense situation in the most dangerous places, and his martial arts were not only learned from the crops when he was a teenager, but also had been further improved in the army.

However, now that he is approaching the age of sixtieth year, Sun Chengzong's boxing is no longer used to fight and kill, but is only used to strengthen his body.

After a set of punches, his body was slightly sweating, and at this time, the long servant brought out from home came over, holding a wooden plate, Sun Chengzong carefully scrubbed his teeth with green salt, then rinsed his mouth, washed his face, and then changed into a bright red official robe, and put on a black gauze hat, which is from a kind-looking old man to a majestic cabinet lord.
