In order not to make Mao Ruoling feel guilty, Cheng Xiaolian still concentrated on accompanying her for a few days: "Some truths may still have to be made clear to you, although you are like a family before entering my house, and you can even be said to be a family, on the premise of not endangering Daming, I don't mind if you open some back doors for them, but we Daming has no examples of relatives **** before, and there will be no in the future." ”

Mao Ruoling nodded very knowingly, she understood that Cheng Xiaolian had not easily transformed the relationship between the two of them into feelings, and if they were added to the Mao family, the relationship between the two would become a political transaction, and at that time, not only would she be strangers to Cheng Xiaolian, but even the Mao family would be destroyed.

So she would rather not have any contact with the Mao family, so that Cheng Xiaolian will not be too embarrassed by the Mao family in her face, as for whether she can gain a foothold in this court, it depends on their ability, since ancient times, there are no simple people who can mix bowls of rice in the court, this bowl of rich rice is not so delicious.

However, Feng Ge's side did not move, but he just gave a generous gift, and there was no reaction, Wen Du Ruo's side was also normal, the atmosphere in the house was harmonious, Cheng Xiaolian was very satisfied, and finally did not make the house a miasma.

And at this time, the New Year Festival has passed, such as today's smoke, there is no such attention as the fifteenth day of the first month, just out of the fifth day of the first month, Cheng Xiaolian began to operate, according to the original plan, Daniel Zhang and people began to march towards Ningxia.

I have to say that Daniel Zhang has had a very good year this year, generally speaking, there are only two consequences for a surrendered general like him, one is to be directly unloaded and killed by the donkey, and the non-commissioned officers in the battalion are directly cut down or thrown to a place where birds do not to retire. The other is to treat each other with courtesy, but it is obvious that the etiquette is too heavy, and the virtue is not worthy, and it is generally done for the people of the world to see, and after pacifying the world, it will definitely not be able to escape the death of the cunning rabbit and the ending of the lackey.

But Daniel Zhang was not assigned to the frontier first, and secondly, his official position remained the same, and he was not promoted at all, and his subordinates were still those people, and the grain, grass and ordnance given to him by the people of the Daming court were all in accordance with the regulations, without a trace of restraint, nor deliberately currying favor, and he did not even plant many people in his camp, that is, no one in the entire camp contained him, and if he wanted to, it was possible to run away with the army.

So his heart was quickly put in his stomach, there was nothing else to say, people had already shown the highest sincerity to treat him, it was not impossible to be promoted, Cheng Xiaolian could be promoted a few levels in a row, but then he would cause the jealousy of the military generals in the DPRK, people had worked hard for so long, he just surrendered and got such a high official position, everyone has to be jealous, and now he may be able to suppress his anger, once the world is calm, just by virtue of this, it is enough for those people to unite and eat him There are no bones left.

He thinks it's good to be a governor of Gansu, and now he is ordered to attack Ningxia, can he not be added to the rank of knight if he has done a good job? As for returning to the Manchu Dynasty, he really didn't dare to think about it, not to mention anything else, Wang ~ Fuchen understood his ending when he went back and forth, and now it is his own turn, naturally he can't make this kind of confusion, the Manchu Emperor is a young man, young and vigorous, and the most hated thing is that others betray him, because young people have a good face, don't you betray him and trample his face on the ground?

Daniel Zhang decided to do things in a down-to-earth manner, as for doing things, of course, he had to do something else, first of all, to warn his family, now that his position is unstable, he must not bully others, arouse the disgust of the Korean Chinese martial arts, and the life of the whole family is not guaranteed, this matter is actually easy, as long as the family finds someone who can calm down, there will be no chaos. This New Year's festival gathered all the people in the family, and selected a few old men to take charge of this matter, and the family was stable.

Another thing is even more cruel, he cleared all the Manchu nails in the army that the Manchus planted for him, Kangxi was relieved to let him do things, naturally these people were indispensable to report his every move in secret, although these people did not have any substantial killing, but it affected morale very much, because they ate well and lived well, and they shrank back in the war, which affected the morale of the army, so he didn't leave anyone and killed them all.

Killing these people is also an attitude to Cheng Xiaolian, he has cut off all his back roads and will not betray again.

Cheng Xiaolian had already rushed to Xi'an Mansion at this time, on the one hand, preparing to deal with Cai Yurong, who was waiting outside Tongguan, and on the other hand, to see if Daniel Zhang could be worthy of the title of the head of the four Han generals in Hexi.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, without the slightest warning, Cai Yurong gathered a large army and launched an attack. However, this did not catch the guards of Tongguan off guard, as early as ten days ago, they knew that there was such a play, so they never relaxed their vigilance, and they did not let Cai Yurong take any advantage.

After the first two days of the battle, the two sides quickly fell into anxiety, and the generals on both sides understood that this battle would be difficult to solve for ten and a half months, and unless there was something internal on the other side, it would be difficult for anyone to surrender to anyone.

After waiting for them to stabilize their position, Cheng Xiaolian immediately ordered Daniel Zhang to start attacking Ningxia, with only one request, a quick battle, and no delay.

Daniel Zhang led 7,000 men and horses to Ningxia, and this time he was also full of ambition, wanting to win his own glory and wealth.

At this time, the ancient family of Chengdu Mansion also operated, and the treasures left by Zhang Xianzhong and Zhu Yuanzhang were continuously replaced with grain, all saying that the antiques of the prosperous era were troubled gold, and the antiques were not very valuable at this time, but the ancient family sold them at a price of seven or eighty percent, and Luo Sen of Chengdu Mansion and his disciple Han Yue began to operate, storing the grain in batches and waiting for the call of the front line.

Cheng Xiaolian used the grain of Shaanxi Province to fight this war, I have to say that Wang ~ Fuchen is still good on both sides, at least this Shaanxi Province is richer than other provinces, and the people on both sides are bribed with money and grain in order to win him over, which reduces the burden of the people of Shaanxi, so the people of Shaanxi will recognize the banner of the Wang family.

Wang Jiyong and Cheng Xiaolian sat in Xi'an Mansion together, collecting taxes while training recruits, supporting various armies, and Guanzhong has been a rich land since ancient times, and it is more than enough to support the two armies.

Not in the process of filial piety is still worried about stirring up the people to ruin Wang Jiyong's reputation, so he just chose a small amount of taxes, Sichuan's one-year tax-free time is coming, after a year of recuperation, most of the families have eased up, even if it is to levy grain, some can be levied, and now he does not need to levy grain at all.
