Ding Tian's Ancient Life

This time Ding Tian is not at the border, Wang Zuo is at the camp of the Chinese Army, and the general of the North Front Battalion in Niujiao County has been replaced by General Wang Yu, um, he is now General Wang.

Lead your troops to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and win the battle!

And they used new firearms. After the victory, Wang Zuo also asked for credit and sent people to fight together. This time there were a lot of barbarians, but Daqing had a convenient new firearm, which made them suffer again. This time they captured the captives and did not release them back to the grasslands. They were still detained in the prisoner camps, and asked their leaders on the grasslands to redeem them with cattle and sheep. , What about building roads and bridges, but all heavy work, tiring work, dirty work and no technical content, they are asked to do it, so that the people of the country can reduce the burden.

But the barbarians suffered heavy losses.

This time it was a large army attacking, but it was massacred by people. Okay, one hundred thousand young and strong, more than 50 cows, and millions of sheep were captured... Ding Tian sat on the fire pit at home, watching the kang table. The mutton pot that was gurgling and dripping with oil: "Eat these two days

how good? "

"Didn't they win the battle outside the pass?" Mrs. Jin brought him a meal: "The beef and mutton on the street are cheap now, and it will be frozen soon. If you can live in the freezer, buy more. If they are slaughtered, they can be stored for a whole winter, and if we buy more beef and mutton to eat, we won’t be afraid of the cold in winter.”

Aunt Jin tasted the sweetness last year. This year, she grew a lot of cabbage at home and bought a lot from outside. Together with a few daughters-in-law in the neighborhood, she set up a pickle workshop and pickled spicy cabbage alone.

Moreover, Cui Jiu was asked to come forward and lease the small shop opposite their dim sum shop as a storefront, selling spicy cabbage.

This thing is cheap, and it tastes good when you eat it. It is the best meal in winter.

There are also restaurants that have learned how to cook fried rice with spicy cabbage, fried potato chips, fried pork belly and so on.

So this year, she plans to do a big job, and her grandson will grow up gradually. In the future, he will go to school, take exams, and marry a wife.

Ding Tian twitched the corner of his mouth: "That's..."

"In the past, a fat sheep cost at least three or five taels of silver, but now a fat sheep from the grassland costs only two taels of silver. Many people can buy one and slaughter it, and the whole family will have a meal." Aunt Jin said happily: " In two days, I will buy a few heads and come back, slaughter them all when they are frozen, and eat dumplings stuffed with mutton and radish...and suet pancakes..."

Because of the victory in the war, the soldiers and civilians at the frontier got benefits, and there was more meat in the barracks. Ding Tian also gave a boxing gift to his senior brother's family. This is a serious relationship between senior brothers and sisters.

Ding Tian even bought [-] beef cattle and [-] meat sheep at this cheap cattle and sheep stall, and entrusted someone to send them to Zhengjia Village.

I got a reply from my sister-in-law, saying that what he gave would be reserved for some worthless nephews, but I can’t ask for things from his little uncle for nothing, and I gave Ding Tian two boxes of their own homemade gifts. Ginseng Yangrong Pills, tell him that whenever his hands and feet are cold in winter, he should remember to take one pill, one pill a day for 20 days, and he will be almost healed.

Ding Tian didn't have this problem, but he heard that Prefect Du's wife gave birth to a child and had this problem during confinement, so he filed these two boxes of pills into the annual gift for Prefect Du... Get ready early , so as not to be in a hurry.

It wasn't until October that there was frost and snow outside, and Wang Zuo didn't come back. Not only did he come back, but when he saw Ding Tian, ​​he hugged him up and walked around many times without regard to his appearance!

"What are you doing?" Ding Tian was dizzy from being wandered around, and could only hug his neck tightly and not let go.

"Tian'er!" Wang Zuo didn't know why, he was so happy and excited, even if he put him down, he still hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go. He was so excited that he said, "We won! No one died!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ding Tian patted his head inexplicably: "Didn't you have a high fever? Why are you so stupid?"

What? "

"Hehe..." Wang Zuo laughed in a low voice, his voice was so magnetic that Ding Tian blushed when he heard it.

"What are you laughing at?" Ding Tian pinched his handsome face: "Say, is there anything good?"

"I did what you told me in the first month of this year. General Gao said that there was a white disaster outside the pass last year. I am afraid that people will be sent to loot this fall. I will Prepared early, and sure enough, they came, and those people were bombarded by the new firearms... Hehehe... 50 troops came, and in the end, 20 were captured alive, and about 20 died. There are still [-], but the various small tribes saw that the situation was not good, turned their heads and ran back... Now the major forces on the grassland have lost their troops, and the small tribes have no cattle and sheep, but there are enough young and strong... The forces on the grassland It's out of balance... King Khan's king's tent, now there is news that he is willing to redeem the warriors of the grassland barbarians... This matter is no small matter, if successful, the grassland will pay five

The price of 500 war horses, a million beef cattle, and [-] million sheep! "

Ding Tian gasped!

This is to scrape a layer of grassland?

"This seems to be much higher than the price we asked last time?" Ding Tian did a quick mental calculation, and found that the prisoner's price had increased.

"No way, there is a shortage of young and strong people on the grassland. If they want to not be annexed by other tribes, they must have the ability to protect themselves. If these young and strong are not redeemed, what will they do to protect the tribe?" Wang Zuo said: "You met last year The captives, oh, Timur and the others, have already settled down on the grassland in the pass. Most of the captured cattle and sheep are guarded and grazed by them. Don’t even mention that they are capable herdsmen after all. In less than a year, new mutton sheep and beef cattle have already been slaughtered."

Timur and Batu are not someone's tribal warriors. They are a group of herdsmen who can't survive. No one redeemed them. It was Ding Tian who took over these herdsmen captives and placed them in a remote and leeward place. On the pasture, cattle and sheep are grazed for the frontier army.

After the battle at the beginning of the year, war horses were specially selected for breeding, but the war horses couldn’t be put there, so I picked cows and ewes, paired them with a few good breeding cattle and sheep, and slowly bred them. In a year's time, it has a small scale.

Probably the ethnic groups outside the Guan have no concept of a country, and they don’t understand that. They only know that they graze there. They have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, earn money, drink, and won’t be bullied. They don’t have to worry about anyone breaking in. Go into the tent and snatch their own cattle, sheep and women... Uh, they don't have any women yet.

"They are all simple people." Ding Tian thought for a while: "Actually, the barbarians outside the pass don't have to fight to the death. Everyone wants to live. Why don't they cooperate?"

"Cooperation? The two families are feuds, how can it be so easy to cooperate?" Wang Zuo pulled someone into the house and sat down on the pit: "But it is very righteous to let them redeem the captives, otherwise, according to my Meaning, just kill it!"

All of a sudden, the evil spirit on Wang Zuo's body was astonishing!

Looking at him, Ding Tian really wanted to kill those captives. Although killing captives has been inauspicious since ancient times, at the moment of life and death, who cares about his auspiciousness?

"Killing a group of captives can make the grassland quiet for more than ten or twenty years... It's only been eight years since the Great War, and they're going to buckle up again and start a war... In fact, if it weren't for the white disaster on the grassland, they They didn't dare to start a war lightly, but they couldn't survive, and they didn't have any effective means of disaster relief, so they could only choose to rob." Seeing Ding Tian's widened eyes, Wang Zuo thought that he had frightened him, so he stroked Ding Tian soothingly. Touch his head and tell him: "Actually, the barbarians on the grassland have contact with other places besides us. Don't dare to provoke, we are easy to bully here! Every time we grab it and run away, I am so angry!"

After hearing this, Ding Tian remembered: "That's right! Why don't they rob others?"

"Because others are stronger than them!" Wang Zuo curled his lips: "The tsar's envoys also have contact with our Daqing, but they are separated by grasslands and white mountains and black waters. And they are also afraid that the two empires will join forces to deal with them, so they have set up many obstacles in the middle, such as horse bandits on the grasslands, sand bandits in the desert, killing all the envoys, you have no place to follow They reasoned..."

"They are not reasonable people." Ding Tian laughed: "But they should be people who pay attention to practical benefits."

"That's true..." Wang Zuo coughed lightly: "I forgot to tell you the business. This time I can win a big victory, and the news of victory is frequent, and you are also a part of the credit. I will probably return to Beijing next year."

"Next year?" Ding Tian was startled, how long have we been together?He's used to people eating at the same table with him and sleeping with him under the same quilt, why... this is going to end without a problem?separated?

"Well, do you want to... come with me to the capital?" Wang Zuo pursed his lips tightly, staring at Ding Tian nervously.

follow him.

In fact, he is not sure, will Ding Tian go to the capital with him?

Because when he arrived in the capital, he was truly His Royal Highness King Ning.

Moreover, although the capital is large, covering the sky with one hand like here, although it can be done, it will inevitably be troublesome.

He knew that Ding Tian was afraid of trouble. Even if Ding Tian knew his identity, he didn't flatter him. He knew that Ding Tian was not that kind of layman.

He also despises ordinary people.

"Is it the capital city?" Ding Tian thought for a while, "I've gone... What can I do?"

He is here to guard the cell, and occasionally he can go out with him to solve a case or something. When he went to the capital, do you want Wang Zuo to support him?

Although it is said that Wang Zuo can definitely support him, let alone one of him, even 1 would be fine, but...it feels like

He has become a soft meal...ah no, he has become a rice bug...somewhat unwilling.

But if he didn't go, it would be tantamount to losing Wang Zuo, and he was even more unwilling.

"As long as you want to go, I'll arrange the rest!" Wang Zuo's overjoyed expression couldn't deceive anyone: "You...do you want to go to the capital? If you don't want to go, I'll come to the north once a year..."

Although it is troublesome and hard work, he can come here once a year: "I have already thought about the reason, just to escape the summer heat, stay for two or three months and then go back..."

"It's okay to go to the capital with you. I'm alone, and I don't have parents to take care of... It's good to go to open your eyes." Ding Tian touched his face: "And you are alone in the capital, I don't worry, in case I was hooked up by some goblin, how much did I suffer?"

"Okay! Okay!" Wang Zuo's usually serious brows and eyes were relieved: "Don't worry, I don't want anyone but you, little goblin."

It's not that I haven't encountered it before, and it's not that I have solved it all! "

Ding Tian suddenly thought of his bad past when he was a child, and quickly changed the subject: "Why did you suddenly say that you want to go back to Beijing?"

?,,

"It wasn't sudden." Wang Zuo made up his vocabulary and slowly explained to him: "I came here at first to investigate the embezzlement of the money used to build the pass. Later, you all know that the pass has become a small county. If you want to rebuild the pass, you have to allocate money from the imperial court. Let’s not talk about it. It’s a matter between the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War. The military merits, and the relationship between the garrison in the north and me is getting better...Many people are worried! A king with a different surname, outstanding military achievements, and holding such an important position as the governor, once he thinks about it...Although Beijing has Wangfu, but everyone knows the relationship between my stepmother and younger brother and me..."
