"Our Tianchengwei and Zhenyuwei are all fine, because of Master Zhang. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info not to go all the way to the side pass, but it is still better than the northern Shaanxi side, and the people there heard that they are going to come out to escape the famine again. ”

"Jinnan's life is not easy either."

"Speaking of which, it's because we have He Yusheng over there, otherwise maybe I'm running away from the famine now."

"What do you mean, you are on the run."

"It's still good over here."

"Fat, you can pinch out the oil."

"Such a good land, Dongyu can make most of the Liao people starve to death and escape, which is also really powerful."

The people who came over there in Datong all have the same opinion, compared to the quality and fertility of the fields, the land on this side of Liaodong can throw Datong away from the long way, such a fertile land can not support millions of people, that is, half of the number of people in Shanxi, compared to the vastness of Liaodong and the fertility of the land, as well as those wild beasts and fish in the undeveloped forests and rivers, it is simply ridiculous to starve to death in such a place!

"It's ridiculous indeed." Huang Yu'an said: "Dongyu is completely unorganized, their Eight Banners are indeed a combination of soldiers and peasants, but that's all, they can't do more beneficial things, for the matter of farmland, according to the summary of intelligence officers, the old slave does often have instructions, but they are all decades and hundreds of years ago, and they are completely useless in the current time." Their level is like that, there is no way to deal with the current weather, and they know almost nothing about how to farm. ”

Huang Yucheng laughed when he heard this, and only after half a sound did he say: "Originally, I wanted to say that the people in your Agricultural Administration Department were too arrogant, but looking at the wheat in front of me, I decided not to say it." ”

The wheat field in front of me is indeed growing well, which is very gratifying.

The wheat seedlings in the wheat field grow very thick, the wheat stalk is not high or short, there is not too much lodging, the wheat ears are many and quite full, and the sickle can be harvested in about a month and a half, because of the selection and fertilization and sufficient water power, the wheat here grows better than that on the grassland, after all, compared to the soil fertility of the land, the land here is more suitable for cultivation.

"Look, we've built barrages from several places." Huang Yu'an said proudly: "Raise the water level of the river, and then build a number of trunk canals and branch canals to divert water, so that there is no need to drill wells, and the conditions are much stronger than those in Lizhuang." However, the waterwheel is still needed, and it is difficult to drain the water in the dry season, so the waterwheel is pulled by livestock to divert water......"

Everyone listened with great concern, after all, agricultural officials of such a level and status as Huang Yu'an could not often be on the Kuandian side, and the scope of their main activities was definitely the grassland, in terms of the scope and scale of farmland cultivation, as well as interests, the grassland side was the most important.

However, the scale of farmland on this side of Kuandian is also expanding dramatically, although there are ships that continue to send food, but people know that it is better to be self-sufficient in food, from the perspective of transportation, the cost of shipping food is the smallest one, but the people of Yusheng have always been very high-spirited, and they want to do their best, if the 12th regiment can be successfully cultivated in Kuandian, self-sufficient, there is no doubt that this is the glory of everyone, and Yusheng's people, honor represents everything.

"It's a fugitive."

A shout from the distant sentry attracted everyone's attention, and everyone rose from the wheat field and looked into the distance.

"Recently, the old slave slaughtered the Liao people in Liaodong." Huang Yu'an said to Huang Yucheng with resentment: "I didn't know anyone who was so mad before I came here. ”

"I've heard about it, too." Huang Yucheng said: "After this massacre, I'm afraid that there will not be one out of ten Liao people." I think that in addition to the old slaves' fear that the Han people are unreliable, most of them also use killing people to reduce the pressure on food. ”

"Probably so." Huang Yu'an sneered: "It's a pity that the old slave doesn't understand, there are many kinds of land, and there are few people who plant less land." The pressure on food was the same for many people until the time of day changed and the method of farming improved. ”

"The flow of fugitives will expand." A tall black-faced official passed by here, arched his hand towards the Huang family brothers, and said: "At the beginning of the massacre, many people were unable to react, and some people escaped, but Dongyu's move must have frightened many people, and the weather is warm and easy to flee in the future, no matter how closely Dongyu looks, a large number of Liao people will continue to escape, we must be prepared before this." There are still a lot of Pinggu places here in Kuandian that can be cultivated, and Taiwan also needs people, so we must do this well. ”

"That's exactly what your lord said." Huang Yu'an quite agreed, and asked, "Dare to ask the name of the honorable surname?" ”

"Oh, Zhao Lide, the deputy of the Military Intelligence Division." The black-faced official smiled and bowed his hand, nodded to Huang Yucheng again, and then hurried forward surrounded by several attachés.

It turned out to be an officer of the Military Intelligence Division, although he was half a level lower than himself, Huang Yu'an still looked stunned.

"I'll go too." Huang Yucheng said: "Check for the fugitives to see if there is any disease." ”

When Huang Yucheng was in Taiwan, he often dealt with military intelligence personnel, and even inside intelligence and military justice personnel were also very familiar, and the benefits of military medical officers are here. After coming and going, I became familiar with these people who were doing secret things, and understood that they only had some rules that required them to act secretly, and they were not born with that kind of gloomy character, so they were not like ordinary officials, and their faces changed color when they heard about military and internal information.

Huang Yu'an shouted from behind: "I live in one place at night, and I still have a lot to say." ”

"Got it." Topaz didn't look back, only waved his hand back.

Seeing his brother wearing a short gray military robe, wearing a belt and wearing military boots striding forward, Huang Yu'an was refreshed, when Huang Yucheng was a poor scholar, others would never have imagined that one day, he would become like this.

……

"All right, every man comes with me."

Li Fang finally removed the chain mail, and had already passed the three outer outposts, the distance was more than five miles, and this place was already a fairly safe place, and there was no need to be on full alert.

There was already a row of houses ahead, which was supposed to be a company garrisoned on the periphery, a small camp, and beyond that was a large area of farmland.

This is also the characteristic of the merchant army barracks, which must ensure the safety of agricultural areas and living areas no matter what.

At this time, you can already see the situation of the farmland area, under the surrounding valley is a large wheat field area, most of the people live in a large fortress area in the inside, there are some scattered houses in the farmland, it should be a corral for raising cattle and horses, and there are large low brick buildings on the opposite side of the river, Li Fang pointed to that side, and introduced: "There is a pig house and sheep pen, and chickens. ”

"It's neat."

"It's really strange", the leopard-eyed man grinned: "A group of big men, the farmland is neatly made, and these houses are also so neat." ”

Li Fang smiled and said: "You will know when you live down, not only the farmland and houses, but also the sleeping and eating and all kinds of utensils are very neat, we said above, a house can not sweep the world without sweeping, so sitting, walking, standing, lying, there is no one who does not pay attention to the rules, if you want to be casual and casual, go to the Dongjiang River." ”

Many fugitives nodded, and the boss of the leopard eye was not happy, and whispered to the short beard: "The management is so strict, it seems that the soldiers here are not deserved, and it takes more effort to farm, I think we will go to the Dongjiang River after a while, with our father's body, I am not afraid of not having enough to eat." ”

Shortbeard nodded slightly, expressing agreement: "Anyway, they also said when they came over, but they were purely helping us, whether to stay in Hutchison or go to the Dongjiang River, follow us." ”

"They are just a trading house, and the rules are bigger than Dongjiang Town, so they can't stay there."

These two guys are bold, and even if others have the heart, no one dares to speak out.

Everyone continued to move forward, and on the field of the two rows of houses in front of them, they saw a group of soldiers like Li Fang practicing.

All the soldiers were clad in stacked heavy armor, armed with broadswords or iron spears, short knives and shields, or iron halberds, or boring handles, and they were constantly swinging or stabbing forward, constantly changing arrays.

Some Liaodong men are knowledgeable, and they immediately said: "They practice the Mandarin Duck Formation and the Little Sancai Formation, and there are also round formations, wearing heavy armor and holding weapons to practice the Fa like this, this is really strength." ”

"I don't know how many days to practice?"

"It seems that the formation is skillful, and the sword and gun styles are very sophisticated."

"I feel stronger than the soldiers in our Liao Town back then."

"I'm afraid it's not a little bit strong, right?" The leopard said energetically: "This must be the general's personal soldier here, or the cangtou Neiding, but even if it is Neiding, the personal soldier of our Liaozhen generals back then can't compare to Neiding." How can there be hundreds of people wearing serious iron scale armor! ”

Cold weapons are fighting, armor is the favorite thing of morale, a collar of heavy iron armor and an elite waist knife made of Fujian iron, soldiers must give priority to heavy armor, and then choose stronger weapons.

This is the people's heart, more people are still willing to save their lives than to make meritorious contributions.

And building iron armor is the embodiment of a country's national strength, but unfortunately even a huge empire like the Ming Dynasty is seriously insufficient in the reserves of armor.

Not to mention the equipment of those military guards in the interior is sparse, even if it is a nine-sided town, the real iron scale armor is very rare, the soldiers of Liaozhen can generally only wear military jackets, some of the old soldiers and cavalry have cotton armor, Neiding will generally wear bubble nails against the iron leaf cotton armor, this is already good equipment, only a very small number of elites are qualified to wear iron scale armor, a general army led by about 3,000 people in the regular barracks, the number of soldiers wearing iron armor will never exceed 200 people, and almost all of them are generals at all levels of the Neiding cavalry, Heavy armor of infantry is already a myth of the past.

And the heavy armor soldiers in front of him are at least more than 300 people, divided into several teams are practicing the attack of small arrays, both sides are almost merciless, even if they are wearing heavy iron armor, there are constantly people who are scratched and cut, this level of training, is also the Liao people present have never seen it.
