Beiyang new warlord

He was so angry that he got off his horse and kicked Luo Guang staggeringly. Then he stared fearfully at the brightly lit caravan camp. He lowered his voice and asked hastily.

"Where are those people from Prince Jin's Mansion?"

"People from Prince Jin's Mansion?"

He looked back stupidly, sat up from the ground, and immediately Roseton grinned honestly.

"All gone!"

"All gone!!!"

A mouthful of old blood was almost spurted out, Zhou Zongbing really wanted to slash this troublesome bastard with a knife.

"Mr. General, these people are not from the Prince Jin's Mansion. They, still, even entrusted the younger one to bring you a letter!"

The letter was opened, and there was a crooked and ugly font inside, and a simple sentence was written: "Mao Jue, Governor of Liaodong, greetings to Mr. Zhou Yuji, General Soldier of Ningwu!"

"My lord, it's not any cargo, it's all firearms! These boxes contain bird guns, but they're not the same as we use. It's so damn exciting!"

The yelling made Zhou Yuji turn his attention back from the letter paper in astonishment. On the other end, his soldiers had unceremoniously pried open the caravan box. Under the light of the fire, the firearms buried in the straw emitted It smelled so good of oil, Zhao Liuzi excitedly picked up a handful, even attached a bayonet, and kept gesticulating against the air.

"This thing is good! If you are far away, you can shoot his mother, and if you are close, you can stab his mother with a knife! We gunmen are no longer afraid of thieves coming to our side! What are these Dongjiang bastards thinking? After so many years in the Ministry of War, why didn’t you think of it?”

"General! There are cannons here, tsk, this cannon is light enough, one horse draws two!"

During the rummaging of these boxes, a total of [-] guns with bayonets, ten three-pound guns, and [-] rounds of ammunition were found out of these boxes. Ten boxes, amidst the joyous shouts, the gang of bastards had already stuffed the packs of cigarettes into their arms deftly, and the bastard Roseton even lit it, puffing out smoke rings in great enjoyment.

Looking at everything in front of him, Zhou Yuji fell into the only inconceivable, tense and entangled state he had before.

Although they are all big soldiers, he has also become the chief soldier, but at this time, the gap between him and Mao Jue is really big. The tide rises, and Mao Jue became the supervisor, and all seven of his regiment commanders were immediately killed. The title of commander-in-chief is still the most powerful Dongjiang Army.

As for him, Zhou Yuji, since the chaos in the Central Plains, the general soldiers have become worthless immediately, from the original fifty or so general soldiers to thousands, especially Yang Sichang's new law encourages local regiment training, and there are countless regiment training general soldiers. A Ningwuguan commander-in-chief is really inconspicuous.

What made Mao Jue, a big man, pay attention to him!

Moreover, it was already an open secret that Dongjiang became a warlord and gradually separated from the imperial court. Mao Jue actually showed his favor in this way. What is he going to do?How should I deal with myself?

"Master General, shall we accept these?"

Unlike Roseton who was so heartless, Zhou Tong, the leader of the personal army who had been staying by Zhou Yuji's side, asked cautiously.

Focusing on the box in front of him again, after pondering for a moment, Zhou Yuji nodded fiercely.

"Bring them all back!!!"

The biggest advantage of the time traveler is the foresight of history, it is like playing a pass game for the second time.

Under the impetus of the old goblin Zhou Yanru, no matter whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, Dongjiang had to take care of himself and completely went to the opposite side of the imperial court. Therefore, Mao Jue had to make arrangements in advance, and Ningwuguan was his world. An extremely important pawn in the overall situation.

Because there is really no way, the fuse that is emitting green smoke has already hissed to Shaanxi.

Shaanxi in July is scorching hot, the scorching sun scorching the earth, but on the hillside, the field ridges are also a scorching scene, the sorghum that is one person tall is already fully ripe, and the red ones bow their heads, equally humble There are also golden ears of wheat, but the most are still golden corn cobs.

This is Yuan Chonghuan's second year in Shaanxi, and also his first autumn harvest. Although the weather is still severe drought, but in his hands, the farmland along the Weihe River has not reduced production, but has a good harvest.

Disasters are terrible, but when manpower is concentrated to a certain extent, natural disasters are not invincible!

The unimpeded aqueduct is led from the Weihe River, and the tall waterwheels are spinning around, drawing water from the reservoir and irrigating the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan. With the large-scale intervention and guidance of the government, the water conservancy facilities have been built. After that, more than 10,000% of the abandoned fields were restored by Yuan Chonghuan, and [-]+ mu of land was reclaimed in the Tongguan area alone.

Moreover, after more than ten years of fierce tent wars, Shaanxi is also one of the provinces with the largest population loss. Although the large number of population deaths has brought disasters, it also leaves precious living space for the survivors, just like As in the early years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, everyone had a field to cultivate, as long as there was work to survive, the Chinese tent became the most docile, hardworking and simple group of people again.

Social order has also been restored!

In particular, Yuan Chonghuan learned from the Dongjiang River, and he did not forget about commerce while restoring reclamation. The trade route from Shaanxi to Bashu was reconnected in his hands.

However, all of this is based on Yuan Chonghuan's attack on the top of the power pyramid in Shaanxi. Other local officials are afraid of the vassal king, but he is the most vicious, not to mention the Huamachi in the Qin Palace , It also refers to the command of the subordinate troops to continuously embezzle the land under the name of King Qin’s Mansion, and compete for the commercial market of King Qin’s Mansion. In one year, Wang’s land has shrunk by a full half, and more than two-thirds of the shops of King Qin’s Mansion in Xi’an City have closed down. As for those official officials, the commercial privileges at the hands of the most powerful local wealthy families have also been robbed to pieces. Yuan Chonghuan was hated by them so much that his teeth were itchy. , Robbing the women of the people, plotting wrongdoing, deliberately amassing money, intending to rebel, the big hat is desperately put on top.

The addition of these crimes is enough to kill Yuan Chonghuan's nine clans. Fortunately, apart from Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen really has no one to use. Otherwise, he might have been taken down long ago.

But this kind of maintenance also comes at a price. Although it is already the third day of receiving the decree, Yuan Chonghuan still feels dizzy looking at the golden imperial decree in front of him.

"Advance troops at the moment!"

"Exit the customs and kill the intruders!"

"Standing still, plotting something wrong?"

One by one, harsh words and phrases appeared on this edict, and Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.

The emperor's patience is exhausted!

"Supervisor!"

Just as Yuan Chonghuan was in a daze, a hasty cry suddenly sounded outside the tent, and under Yuan Chonghuan's military order to go straight in without reporting military affairs, a young officer rushed in.

"The harvest in Tongguan is almost done. Just now, the military ration officer reported that it was a bumper harvest! There are a total of [-] shi in the military ration!"

"yes."

Putting down the imperial decree, Yuan Chonghuan nodded helplessly with a gloomy expression.

Chapter 525. The Last Chapter

"The order is passed on, the food is not to be put into the warehouse, and all of it will be transported to Tongguan! In addition, Yulin, Huamachi, Yan'an, and Yansui towns will be assembled in Tongguan, and the governor will see the army before August [-]!"

"Supervisor!!!"

He was still immersed in joy just now, but his words immediately made the young officer turn pale with shock, and raised his head in disbelief.

"You want this?"

"Your Majesty's decree, the Shaanxi army will leave Guanping at sunrise without delay!"

After staying in Dongjiang for a long time, it seems that they can be infected with such contempt. Minister Huang Biaozhi Guilai respected the imperial decree, and Yuan Chonghuan casually stretched out his hand and threw it to the young officer.He also picked it up in a daze and astonishment, and glanced over it twice. The person who could be attracted by Yuan Chonghuan is naturally not an ordinary thing. In just a moment, he had already seen the problem.

There were many decrees issued by Chongzhen to urge Yuan Chonghuan to send troops before, but the tone was also to send troops as soon as possible, and I gave them great expectations, but this time they directly threatened it, which is already an ultimatum.

If the delay continues, I am afraid that these threats will become a reality. Yuan Chonghuan, who has been the governor of the three sides for two years, may have to fight to the end. It will be light to go back to Liaodong and continue to plant sweet potatoes. Cao beheaded.

However, personal honor and disgrace are still the lightest to Yuan Chonghuan. If he cared about all this, he would have been the Supreme Emperor in the Wa Kingdom to marry Chiyoji.What makes him unbearable the most is that he has finally put all his hard work in vain.

It is not a good strategy to send troops now! As far as the situation is concerned, Li Zicheng's power has reached its peak at this time. In the name of not paying food when King Chuang came, he absorbed tens of millions of victims , Millions of Chuangjun occupied a large area of ​​territory from Henan to the north of Huguang, and the victims and people who had just joined the Chuangjun won a series of victories such as the Battle of Kaifeng, the Battle of Baoding, and the Battle of Zhuxian Town. The most frenzied time.

Fighting is not like a game where two teams of people rush at each other, with a bang, the loser will be killed all over the field. Quantity, equipment, morale, terrain, logistics, every item affects the trend of the war, even if Dongjiang Mao Jue had to weigh up the battle against the Chuang army, not to mention the Qin army that had just started.

The best strategy is to stick to Tongguan, which is also the best result of several military officers' meetings and discussions.
