Those who came with Chen Qing today include Jiang Yanxian and Lu Qingshan, as well as Zhang Haoran, the minister of Sinong Temple, and Liu Xiangyang, the Imperial Academy Xuezheng, of course also accompanied him, but his status was low and he could only follow behind.
It was indeed very warm inside the glass room. It was really like the early summer in May. Several ministers were amazed. Lu Qingshan smiled and said: "In the winter, we can handle court affairs here without having to keep a fire to keep warm. How did Your Highness come up with this?"
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "Actually, it's just to retain the warmth of the sun. It may be very cold at night."
“Have a good night!”
Yang Du explained: "Bizhi sleeps in the greenhouse at night. It is slightly colder than during the day, but it is still much warmer than outside. All kinds of sprouts will not be frozen to death."
Chen Qing walked inside again. The entire glass house had been made into more than a dozen strips of sunshine. They were watered and fertilized. Chen Qing found that Yang Du had planted a lot of potatoes. He couldn't help but asked strangely: "Isn't it true that there are only fifteen strips left?"
Did you get a potato? Where did the other potatoes come from?”
"Reporting to Your Highness, Weichen also planted those broken potatoes. Weichen felt that only one part of them was rotten, but the other part was good, and there were intact sprouts on them. It would be a pity to throw them away, so he decided to try them together.
Give it a try.”
Chen Qing nodded and smiled: "I'm determined!"
Jiang Yan first asked: "Your Highness, is this kind of potato really capable of yielding three thousand kilograms per mu?"
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "I've only heard about it, I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Professor Yang, do you think there will be a high yield?"
The Jin Dynasty implemented a strategy of reducing Ding on the grassland, constantly weakening the tribes in the grassland to prevent them from becoming powerful enemies. It first dealt with the Mongolian tribe. Wanyan Nianhan led an army of 100,000 and fought fiercely with the Mongolian tribe for many years, but failed to gain the upper hand.
The strategy of differentiation was to win over and divide the Mongwu tribe. They also united with the Tata tribe, Kele tribe and Merqi tribe to attack the Mongwu tribe from many sides. The Mongwu tribe was finally defeated, the leader was killed, the population and pastures were engulfed, and the Mongol tribe was defeated.
Wu was completely marginalized and moved to a distant place.
Zhe Yanzhi laughed at the side and said: "The battle to destroy the country will require so much, not to mention that Your Highness has to leave 50,000 troops to guard Yanshan Road. Otherwise, the rear will be empty and it will be tragic to be attacked by the Jin soldiers. In fact, there are 400,000 troops, and we are facing
The right one may not only be the Jin Kingdom, but also the coalition forces of various grassland tribes, such as the Tata tribe, the Kelie tribe, the Mongwu tribe, and even the Goryeo servant army. The opponent must have at least more than 300,000 troops."
Yang Du quickly said: "It's very possible that I have grown similar yams and yam eggs in my humble job, and the yield is very high. During famine years, growing yams can save lives!"
"Is an army of 450,000 too many?" Jiang Yanxian asked.
The best and richest grasslands and pastures were divided between the Tata tribe, the Kelei tribe and the Merqi tribe. However, in the Battle of Fengzhou, nearly 100,000 people were killed by the Tata tribe and the Kerei tribe, which severely damaged their vitality. Instead, they were divided by the Mierqi tribe.
The Ministry took the opportunity to rise.
Jiang Yan nodded first, "Your Highness has been waiting for this opportunity!"
Chen Qing handed the letter to Jiang Yanxian and Lu Qingshan. Jiang Yan read it first and said in surprise: "To seize Tamluo Island, does His Highness want to use it as a springboard to destroy Goryeo, or to attack the Kingdom of Jin!"
Zhe Yanzhi glanced at Chen Qing. Chen Qing shook his head and said slowly: "The national power of the Jin Kingdom has been unbearable. It accepted the peace request of the Koryo Kingdom. The King of Koryo accepted the canonization of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom and became a subordinate servant state of the Jin Kingdom. He marched towards the Jin Kingdom.
They donated food, supplies, and troops, and put the prince in Beijing as a hostage. Now that winter is here, the Jin soldiers should withdraw from Goryeo. Although the Jin soldiers plundered a lot of food and supplies, they also spent huge manpower and material resources, and did not account for
What's cheap, but it has lost nearly 20,000 troops. The Jin Kingdom is very dissatisfied, so we will attack the Jin Kingdom next summer when its national strength is at its weakest."
"The current purpose is to attack the Kingdom of Jin. I am considering deploying a surprise force from the far east. As for whether it will destroy Goryeo, we will talk about it later. In addition, it can also be used as a trade transit place."
"Exactly, it's from General Tang!"
"That's right, but my first step is to capture Linhuang Mansion!"
"What's going on with the Goryeo servant army?" Jiang Yanxian asked in confusion.
Linhuang Mansion also received little attention from the Kingdom of Jin for the time being. The garrison was quickly reduced from 80,000 troops to 20,000 troops, and Linhuang's business became more and more developed.
After Chen Qing read the pigeon letter, it turned out to be the news of the occupation of Tamna Island. Tang Huai said that he would lead his fleet northward after next spring to establish a foundation at the entrance of Tongmen River.
"Of course it is a waterway. If you take the Yellow River and enter the Yongding River, the fleet can go all the way north. It is estimated that it will take half a year. Considering the ice in the winter and the transportation will continue after the spring, the war preparations will not be completed until next summer."
"When can we harvest it?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Zheyan smiled and said: "This is probably the biggest gain of the Jin Kingdom's attack on Goryeo. Nearly 200,000 Goryeo soldiers surrendered, and the Jin Kingdom organized them into the Goryeo servant army. The Khitan and Xi people's military resources have been exhausted, and the Jin Kingdom has
Obtain troops from the Kingdom of Goryeo."
At this time, the Jin Kingdom lost the Hebei Road and the Yanshan Road in succession. Its national strength was weak and it could no longer take care of the grassland. Instead, it began to attack Goryeo in an attempt to plunder Goryeo to replenish its national strength.
Chen Qing was slightly startled, but he immediately reacted, "But is there news about the navy?"
Chen Qing nodded, "In fact, the 100,000 troops I led to Jiangnan did not come back. Instead, they went directly north to Yanshan Prefecture. 300,000 troops have been deployed in Yanshan Prefecture, and 15 more troops need to be added.
There is grain transportation, and 1.5 million shi of grain must be transported from Jingzhao to Yanshan Road."
"Was the Kingdom of Koryo destroyed by the Kingdom of Jin?"
"By water?"
Chen Qing came back from Taixue. As soon as he arrived at the door of the official residence, Zhe Yanzhi came quickly and said, "There is an important pigeon message from Dengzhou!"
Currently, Linhuang Mansion still has 20,000 troops stationed in order to control the various tribes in the grasslands.
"Dengzhou?"
Linhuang Mansion was an important town of the Jin Kingdom on the western grasslands. It was once the central capital of the Liao Kingdom. It was also the base camp for the Jin Kingdom to control various tribes in the grasslands. Wanyan Nianhan once stationed 100,000 troops here and continued to conquer the Mongol tribe for several years.
.
Zhe Yanzhi handed a copy of the pigeon letter to Chen Qing, and Chen Qing invited several people to sit down in his official room.
"Reporting to Counselor Lu, based on my experience in my humble position, I will be able to harvest it around February next year!"
Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "Is Your Highness already preparing for the war against the Kingdom of Jin?"
The grassland has entered winter, and a blizzard is about to hit. Businessmen from all walks of life have rushed to Linhuang City to spend the winter before the blizzard comes. Linhuang City has entered a small peak of trading at the end of the year, and it is particularly lively.
That morning, a camel caravan walked in from outside the city, consisting of more than a hundred camels. The owners of the camels were two exceptionally strong and tall prairie men, brothers Yinbalu and Yinerhan from the Mongolian ethnic group.
.
They brought with them more than a dozen guys, including Han Chinese and Khitan people, and a tall and thin middle-aged man named Zhang Lu. He used to be the head of the Luoyang Intelligence Station of the Western Army, and was later promoted to the deputy director of the Intelligence Department. Now he is the head of the Privy Council Intelligence Station.
Signing the order, from a fifth-grade high-ranking official, he personally led the team into Linhuang Mansion this time, while brothers Yin Balu and Yin Erhan were responsible for cooperating with him to establish the intelligence station.
