Beiyang new warlord

"That's right, it's the source of soldiers, Your Highness!"

Qu Shixu, who had never had a sense of existence, finally found some reason to exist and popped up at this time, followed Mao Jue to explain, and then he suddenly opened the tent and waved to the outside.

"You children, come in!"

In such a situation, there was no need for any precautions. More than a dozen cavalrymen standing guard outside came in one by one, pointing their fingers at the leader's chest. Qu Shixu asked helplessly, "Zhang Xiaomeng, where is your birthplace?"

"Back to your lord! Bashu Mianyang!"

"Liu Dali, what about you?"

"My lord, Bashu brocade official!"

"Song Hutou, what about you?"

"My lord, Baoji, Shaanxi!"

"Feng Fengguan, what about you?"

"Bashu Zigong!"

Aimee Zhu is not a stupid woman even though she loves to be horny. After Qu Shisi asked a few questions, she had already come to her senses. With a look of astonishment on her face, she asked in amazement: "There are so many soldiers from Sichuan in the army? How is it possible?" ?”

This is the Shanxi Legion. Among the sixteen cavalry, there are only two Shanxi soldiers, four Shaanxi frontier soldiers who have always been the source of troops in the Ming Dynasty, and one naturalized Mongol. The rest are all Sichuan Army soldiers. This ratio is a bit scary.

"No way, the country is governed too well!"

Mentioning this, Mao Jue rubbed his nose depressedly.

The Tang Dynasty was also a prosperous age, but the people were still willing to join the army. On the one hand, the military tradition of the military aristocrats in Guanlong, on the other hand, the former Tang Dynasty was rich in the gentry, and the people just had enough to eat. If they wanted to be rich, they would join the army. Relying on the head to gain fame, but even so, when Li Longji was in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the situation that Guanzhong had always dominated the world also collapsed. Wu Zetian dismembered the Guanlongmen Clan, and the military system collapsed. Yanzhao surpassed it, and gradually became a tragedy in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

Mao Jue's theory of governing the country is even more extreme than that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He wants to hide wealth from the people, let the big businessmen earn money from overseas, and then through work, the wages flow into the hands of the common people, and circulate in the market to expand domestic demand and expand overseas. Simultaneously, so as not to follow the dead end of being poisoned by silver in the previous Ming Dynasty, it is also the general trend of history.

But in the past few years, the common people have become rich. The old farmers who farm the fields can change four clothes a year, and the middle-class families who work and do business in the city can still afford to buy and maintain a carriage. So attractive.

Iron-clad soldiers, Mao Jue also has high requirements for the army. Basically, he can retire voluntarily when he is 30 years old, and is forced to retire when he is 45 years old. Even in Liaodong, the number of people joining the army is decreasing year by year, and the number of retired soldiers exceeds that of the military. The source of soldiers, the six major armies of the Northern Ming Dynasty are now in a state of shrinking, the main source of soldiers is the Kengchuan Army except for generations of soldiers from the Nine Sides, who made them poor and useless when they were captured by Zhang Xianzhong, in the Hanzhong Barracks Hearing that Wen Meng was fooling around, he served as a soldier with two taels of silver and one stone of rice, and the family divided the house and land, so he fled in foolishly.

Now Sichuan people have filled the Shaanxi River with a population of 300 to 56 million. I don’t know when they will disappear. In this situation, Mao Jue’s eyes naturally focused on the Mongols on the grassland. Are the [-] ethnic groups in the future generations a family?

But the Mongols of this era are the same as the difference between Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia in the later generations. If you want to lure them in, you have to learn from the old beauty of the later generations and assimilate them with the way of life.

"Cao Sanxi has connections with the Jarut Ministry, and the Jarut Ministry intends to be naturalized! The condition is to get back the Bao Ketu that belongs to them. I will give Cao Sanxi the money, and the goods will not be sold. This does not make me urgent. Is it?" Sitting on a wooden pier, Mao Jue murmured wearily, covering his head.

Just like the forced demolition of later generations, the common people simply hate it!The same goes for him, but it can be raised to a higher level. The city needs to build roads. If you walk over here, the traffic will be greatly improved. If the traffic is developed, it will drive businessmen, invest in factories, and increase employment. It can't be done, and everyone is stuck together and suffers from poverty.

Neither of the two starting points is correct. This incident also made Mao Jue realize the difficulty of being a superior. While rubbing his hair, he kept pawing and pulling his fingers like a little man in Shanghai in later generations.

On the border of Heilongjiang, the Raksha people appeared. The Hoge made people cry. They clamored several times to withdraw from the customs. The Northern Group Army sent blood to the customs several times. Now there are only 20 of the more than 8 people left. To press North Korea in the east, defend the permafrost in the west, and Wenmeng's side, I am most sorry for him. His [-] people will control Jiayuguan in the west, reach Hanzhong in the south, and defend against the bandits in the north. I can't afford him. He was also ordered to go west and compete for Hamiwei three times, but they were all beaten back, which made him feel uncomfortable. "

"Further south, Jiangnan is still undecided, and the Jingshi Corps and Xuzhou Corps have to press there. There are still more than 100 million troops at Poyang Lake. Tolerate?"

"And this guy, if you don't give him a brigade, he can go to the capital, crying and begging me for someone!"

In the end, Mao Jue pointed his finger at Tian Chou's nose again. As a result, the veteran ruffian pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"Conquering the world is difficult, defending the world is even more difficult!!!"

Aimee Zhu stared at her pockets. The husband in her impression was always full of confidence, as if everything was in his hands. This was the first time she saw Mao Jue in such a difficult situation. They simply looked dumbfounded, they thought that the emperor just wore gold and silver and enjoyed endless blessings, Mao Jue's tired image shattered the image of the emperor in their minds.

"Sorry, brother, I still have to take your coal mine. I need people to open up new roads. If I don't take it there, a bunch of barbarians in the west will take it. After a hundred years, I will be in serious trouble! Time is waiting! Now This prodigal girl also knows, and there is no need to hide anything, I will pay you as much as you want for the demolition, don't let me worry about it, will it work!"

"Brother, don't talk about it, it's hard for us to know!"

He also sighed, reaching out his hand and wanting to pat Mao Jue on the shoulder, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong, Anggeturi quickly withdrew his hand back, rubbing his hands a little at a loss.

"Okay, you know everything you want to know, can you go home?"

After rubbing her forehead again, Mao Jue finally stood up, and stretched out her hand to Aimee Zhu. Who knows, this girl shook her head heavily again. With Mao Jue's expression about to vomit blood, she turned around and went to Auntie Zhu. In front of Geturi, he asked very solemnly.

"For Baoketu, you can fight to the death with your fellow villagers. If you return Baoketu and let you lead the big guys to fight for the court for ten years, it is very likely that you will die, but even if you die, you will still be buried in the On your own land in your hometown, would you like to?"

Dazed for a moment, this reckless man slapped his chest heavily.

"Of course I would! I can keep my hometown, and I can help the big brother of the emperor... His Majesty the emperor's favor, I didn't say anything, I will be the first to go!"

"Chang Ping, stop making trouble, okay?"

Mao Jue roared hysterically, but there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, but this girl showed a bright smile.

"Fortunately, you are still the emperor, my family's officials, this matter has stumped you?"

Chapter 758. The price of freedom

The Shanxi Legion finally played its due role!

Amidst the clattering sound, the neat bayonet array advanced forward, and the infantry in every row and column took the same pace, against the blue sky in July, like a mountain of knives, but this mountain of knives turned 45 degrees The Mongolian cavalrymen of the Zalut tribe who were shaking their scimitars and roaring just now were all stunned.

"Damn Mingren, backtrack! Do you want to fight the descendants of the wolf and the white deer? Come on! Come on!!!"

I don't know how many generations of Zalut chiefs have been waving their big knives arrogantly. The Mongolian horses with fat bodies are a little out of breath, and they are full of beards. morale.

But what he said slipped away, but he rode behind a few rows of cavalry, and the attendants who were close to him clearly saw his trembling calves, and this grandson was also planning to run away at any time.

But just when the entire Mongolian tribe was trembling, the Ming army, who was pressing in like a mountain, suddenly stopped and stood up neatly as a group. Thousands of people stopped neatly like a mountain. The orangutan shuddered again.

But after a while, bursts of sneer came out suddenly.

"Hahaha, Ben Khan said, how dare these farming sheep compete with the descendants of the wolf and white deer? For the sake of their surrender, Ben Khan can forgive them, come and tell this Xu... Ming army, let them, let them vacate the Baoketu coal mine, let them go!"

Beads of sweat the size of peas were clearly dripping from his forehead in fright, but he still had to pretend!Amidst the trembling Mongolian light cavalry in the front line, Sararu Khan from Zarut's tribe could be regarded as a row ahead, where he put on his face arrogantly, showing how fierce he is.

However, it is conceivable that such ruthless words will have a certain effect on morale bonus!

While the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalrymen looked around nervously, on the other side of the Ming army, two tribal nobles who ran like rabbits finally ran towards the tribe and slipped back.

"Khan, something is wrong!!! The Emperor Ming came to the front line and was confused by those Bansheng slaves. He wants to give them the coal mines and ask us to start a war! The conditions given by His Majesty ordered us to put down our weapons and surrender immediately, my lord. Go to the capital to raise horses for him, and the tribe can continue to work in the coal mine, or else our tribe will be slaughtered!"

"Khan, what should I do?"

After finally winning the tribal sweat position from his brother, when Mao Jue heard that he was about to abolish his own rights, it was as if he wanted to chop off the lifeblood of his Sara Khan. In an instant, the old man's face turned red, and he roared angrily: "These Han dogs bully people too much, clansman, take up arms and fight them, let them see the wolf and the white deer..."

The words yelled up to this point, but they couldn’t keep up their yelling. The two aristocrats yelled so loudly that almost everyone knew it. With a bang, the Mongolian cavalry who had barely gathered together just got off their horses and ran away in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, the huge tribe fell apart, and after a while, a large group of Boktu coal miners emerged.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. I was kicked out of Baoketu, and the tribe lived for half a year without even having a pot for cooking. Now I am back. Although most of the wages were deducted by the nobles of the tribe, it is good or bad There is enough white flour and steamed buns, and the meat and vegetables are balanced, so there is no danger of starvation.

What's more, Mao Jue's name can stop children crying at night on the grassland, and the mighty Houjin Eight Banners have been trampled under his feet to set records. Who dares to provoke him?This is no longer the era of Genghis Khan! ! !

In a blink of an eye, I was left with a hundred or so tribal nobles standing there alone. Sarah Khan was completely dumbfounded. After looking around for a few times, the fat bearded man burst out with a smirk, hehe Waving hands.
