"Coming, coming, please be objective." The old brothers who had been running out before, led by the slipper, each carried a large tray high and returned to the room.

"Collect your legs, if you overturn the plate, you will have no good luck."

"What's in it? You still have such a big plate! Chen Xin hurriedly gave up his position, obediently! It's a huge pallet.

"Hehe, didn't you ask me why I burned charcoal before! No, that's for this thing. ”

The slipper said as he placed the tray on the table.

A few people looked around, and slowly a tray of slices of meat that had been threaded with skewers. There are also a few spice bottles mixed in.

"Are you going to make a barbecue?"

"Yes, yes."

"Just for the barbecue, you replaced the coal and got the carbon?"

"Isn't it obvious, what is baked by coal, there is a delicious charcoal roast there."

"These skewers?"

"I also brought it, this is the sheep that was just slaughtered this morning, it is very fresh, after I brought it here, I asked the kitchen to help clean it up, and then brought it up."

"It's really hard for you!"

"Hehe, it's not hard, it's not hard, everyone has a responsibility, you can't drink happily, then you can only eat meat, isn't this the day we wanted to live the most when we were against gold.

However, it is not interesting to eat barbecue with fewer people, everyone has been very busy in the past two years, and it is not easy for the brothers to get together once. Since it's hard to get together, it must be lively. ”

"But, do you know that if you make a barbecue in the house, you will be poisoned?"

"Huh? Poisoning? ”

"You, what a hairy monkey that doesn't grow long, have you ever seen that store barbecue in the store? When barbecuing, the lid on the stove has to be lifted, and the smoke in the charcoal fire is poisonous, and if you smoke too much, it will kill you. ”

"Oh!" The slipper suddenly realized: "I see." ”

"But." He reacted immediately, looked at the tray on the table, touched his head and said, "Since you can't barbecue in the house, won't you waste all the things I brought?" ”

"Who asked you to sell Guanzi, don't ask earlier!" Everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Chen Xin also laughed as he rang the electric bell on the table, and then ordered the attendant who ran in when he heard the bell, "Go get two big hot pots, and I am telling the kitchen to prepare some hot dishes." ”

The attendant took the order and went out, and Chen Xin said with a smile, "Okay, since you can't eat barbecue, it's not bad for everyone to gather around a table to eat hot pot and mutton shabu." Also, slipper, next time you say to the barbecue in advance, let's go to the yard in advance and set up the barbecue box. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." As he spoke, he picked up the tongs and added some good barbecue charcoal to the stove.

At this moment, although the outside of the house is already a cold scene of heavy snow, but inside the house, it is as warm as spring, and then drink two sips of sorghum wine limited to each person, the body is really very warm.

Zhong Fulin has not participated in everyone's chatter for half a day, and after the slipper finished adding charcoal to the stove, he said to Chen Xin, "Your Excellency, the minister has been thinking for a long time, but I don't understand, what kind of official position do you want for our troops and horses in Daming Shandong?" Now that you have the rank of general soldier, it's useless to get anything else, right? ”

Chen Xin picked up a soybean and put it in his mouth, chewed it and said, "You may not know that on the Ming side, some official positions seem to be nothing, but the power in their hands cannot be underestimated.

For example, let's talk about the military preparation roads in various places, only a six-grade official position, and they are not civilian, military, or military, but even ordinary miscellaneous commanders, deputy generals, etc., when they see the soldiers in their respective regions, they have to kneel down and kowtow, and call themselves adults. Just tell me whether this six products are powerful?

As for me, I have recently heard from people in the intelligence department that the battalion in Shandong has been expanded to the extreme, and if it is further expanded, I am afraid that it will not be able to be said on the surface anyway, and it will be impeached.

Therefore, I wondered if we could take the position of the local regimental training chief soldier, and if we had this position in the hands of the battalion soldiers in Shandong, then we could train the militia locally.

In this name, the forces that we have expanded in the local people can also put out the soldiers and horses in the secret.

Moreover, the regimental training of the general soldiers, the regimental training in the local area, the soldiers, food and salary are all supported by the local gentry, and the Ming Court is completely speechless.

In this way, we will be able to begin to expand Shandong's forces again, and in the future, once something happens, Shandong's soldiers and horses will be able to board ships in the coastal areas and rush to the capital in two days. Great business can be expected. ”

"This ······, this plan, is indeed a little crazy. However, the minister thinks it is possible. ”

······

Time passed in a hurry, and soon it was Layue, and the soldiers and horses of Houjin who were taken out by Dolgon to fight against the Mongolian rebel tribes had returned to their respective places and looked for their own mothers.

This time, they began to clear the rebellion from the Chahar region, capturing nearly 20,000 scattered Mongols and 50,000 head of livestock. Moreover, this number is not included in this campaign, and all of them were directly surrendered and were willing to merge into the Mongolian Eight Banners.

It is actually not too difficult to clear out the rebellion of the Mongol tribes, and those people are just the leaders of some large tribes in Mongolia who threw out the pathfinder to test the strength of Houjin after hearing that Huang Taiji was killed.

There were only a few small tribes, and as soon as the Houjin army arrived, they immediately fell apart and dispersed, and Dolgon also understood the reason for this incident, but he still needed the support of those big tribes, so he didn't move those people.

He only used this as an excuse to plunder the local area, and a little more population was added to end the state of war. After all, the Mongol tribes were so poor that they didn't have much to make of their populations and livestock.

So, after ending the clean-up operation of the Mongolian tribes, the Houjin army changed its route by the way, entered the Xuanfu area of the Ming Dynasty, and looted for more than half a month.

During this time, the Jurchen Eight Banners attacked and captured more than 30,000 Han people, 20,000 head of livestock, and killed more than 20,000 Han men.

This still does not count the number of looting raids of the Mongol tribes of the outer vassals who entered the customs with them, and the number of Han Chinese men killed by them will not be less than 10,000.

Even the newly surrendered Mongolian tribe Taiji also made a lot of money by the way when they joined Kou Daming with the Houjin army.
