Daning has the Northern Barbarians, a formidable enemy that can never be eliminated, so it is destined to face hidden dangers from time to time.

It's just a pity that Daliang is too far away to contact the barbarians. Otherwise, if the two parties join forces and attack Daning at the same time, they will definitely succeed...

But having said that, Emperor Daning was really a thief, he even hid his itinerary and went to the north.

The situation must be serious, otherwise how would the king of a country come in person?

The town border army has been established.

It was formed on the basis of his original Xuanjia Army, and its combat power was outstanding, definitely not comparable to before.

He was not in a hurry, but was waiting for information.

The war cannot be started easily. Daliang has not really recovered from the previous defeat and is not fully prepared.

Zhu Zhen knew it very well.

Either don't fight, or if you want to fight, you have to work hard to win. For them, there is only one chance.

Otherwise, morale will be ruined.

He is waiting patiently.

When enemy troops begin to mobilize in the northern part of the border, then Daning will encounter a serious problem.

It would be best if Emperor Daning died in Beiyi!

Zhu Zhen thought maliciously.

However, it’s not a bad idea to prepare for a rainy day. This time he came to the border in person, firstly to form a town and border army, and secondly to prepare for dispatching troops.

As long as it was certain that Daning would be attacked by barbarians, he would not hesitate at all.

His father, Emperor Liang Wu, had already given him authority.

At the same time, the Wei State will respond immediately by sending troops. In this case, the five-year period will be advanced...

People at home and abroad are paying close attention to it.

After late autumn, the first snow arrives.

Guan Ning is finally back!

Before leaving the southern barbarian land, he received urgent information from the cabinet.

But don't be in a hurry.

Because nothing happened at all.

The court is a little unstable and the ministers are a little impetuous, which is normal.

After all, he has been away from the capital for so long.

As for what’s going on with Liang Guo?

Guan Ning doesn't care either.

First of all, it can be determined that Liang Guo will not easily start a war. They must ensure that they have accurate information.

Never fight an uncertain battle.

This is the basic principle that Liang must abide by because they can no longer withstand failure.

If we do it again, Liang will collapse without anyone else attacking.

Then they have to make sure that the barbarian army is attacking Daning, or that the Northern Expedition has failed, and more troops are needed.

Daning cannot fight on two fronts at the same time.

This is truly a rare opportunity.

But such a thing did not happen. He came back victorious and achieved a great victory.

The Zhenbei Army except the 30,000 men led by Bai Shaoyuan was transferred back.

It had no impact, as there were originally 50,000 troops stationed at the border.

Lost troops can also be replenished quickly.

Because there are enough war horses.

If Liang Guo had started the war at the beginning of the year, he might have been able to take advantage, but not now.

The best opportunity to attack has been lost.

Don't bother.

If you want to attack, just start fighting. I'm really afraid of him...

As for the barbarian problem they are considering, it is not a problem at all.

Guan Ning didn't care.

After returning to China, he did not go back to Beijing immediately. He also visited the Liaozhou Barbarian Autonomous Region.

The autonomous region had changed a lot since he arrived in early spring, and many yurts had turned into normal houses.

This is also the most basic settled life of farming.

With the help of the local government, homes were built.

In the autonomous region, the first private school was established and is already teaching normally.

There are no conditions for students.

Regardless of age, regardless of gender, young or old, as long as you want to learn, you can come and learn, and it's free.

The teachers in the private school are all former students.

They lost their jobs due to the promotion of new learning, so coming here can be regarded as re-employment, but teaching these barbarians is much more difficult than teaching enlightened children.

In the surrounding area, a large area of ​​wilderness has been reclaimed and can be cultivated next spring.

These are all completed under the guidance of dedicated personnel sent by the local government.

Guan Ning learned about it in detail.

These people are very motivated and efficient in their work.

Outsiders say that barbarians are warlike and brave, but they ignore their other good qualities, such as being down-to-earth and hard-working.

In their opinion, heavy farm work is much easier than herding, and many barbarian women can do all the work.

Under unified guidance, they learn quickly.

This made Guan Ning very satisfied.

There are large tracts of land in several states north of Daning. Due to the shortage of population, no one has cultivated it and it has become deserted. The barbarians can develop these lands by moving here.

They will also turn over the grain they produce to the local government, and the proportion is much higher than normal taxation.

And the barbarians are still grateful to you. What a good thing.

As time went by, communication between the surrounding people and the barbarians living in the autonomous region increased.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

This also convinced Guan Ning that the route he was taking was correct.

National integration is the kingly way.

Anyway, I came back too late, so I didn’t worry about it and just finished what I had to do.

Guan Ning did not return to Beijing.

He just started the tour of the north that he mentioned at the beginning.

Revitalizing the north has been a plan he had for a long time. There has always been a place of poverty outside the customs.

There were barbarian invasions and population migration, resulting in serious population shortages.

Moreover, the north is naturally geographically drier than the south, which also affects crop harvests.

Guan Ning did not have time to inspect them all.

He then went to the Prince's Mansion in Zhenbei, Yunzhou, and summoned the prefectural pastoral officials from several prefectures.

There is only one purpose, and that is to ask questions.

If you have any requirements or problems, tell us and we can work together to find a solution.

The reason why Guan Ning dares to make bold statements is because he is rich!

This northern expedition was fruitful.

Not to mention anything else, Bai Shaoyuan brought back an unknown amount of gold from the royal court of Asote that he plundered.

The specific amount has not been calculated yet.

Because they are available in various shapes, they are not weighted spindles like Daning.

Anyway, it's a lot.

When you have money, you have to spend it.
