Ge Shibao went to bed happily, and Gai Rencong was about to go back to his room to rest. When he turned around, he suddenly remembered the quotation and contract sent by Ma Hanshan, smiled, and turned around to pick it up from the table.
Since you want to send your son to him, since you want to master the strange branches of science, then of course you must have a good relationship with Ma Hanshan. If you want to have a good relationship, isn't the biggest way to show your friendship is to purchase the output of Wagang Village from him?
Gaspao glanced at the quotation in his hand under the light. He was suddenly shocked and inexplicable. His eyes were wide open. He was more shocked than seeing a ghost.
What made Mr. Gai so rude? Isn't it just a quotation?
Yes, it was this quotation that made Gai Rencong lose his temper, because it said that he... No, there was something that Da Songren dreamed of. He never imagined that the quotation sent by Ma Hanshan actually said "military horse"
Quotation…….
It’s true that Dasong is rich in products, and you can have everything. However, the horses produced in Dasong are far inferior to those from Xixia and Bei Mongolia. Therefore, in order to improve combat effectiveness, Dasong has always produced horses from Xixia and Bei Mongolia.
Military horses were imported from the Western Regions. After Donghu invaded, the import route of military horses was blocked by Donghu. Later, after the territories were ceded to Donghu, even the weak horses produced by themselves were no longer needed.
What you can buy now are the pony horses from the southwest. These horses are good for carrying things, but they cannot be used as cavalry mounts.
Donghu united with Northern Mongolia, and Xixia blocked all horse trading channels. Now Dasong is in short supply of military horses, and even if you have money, you can't buy them.
It was obvious that Donghu and other countries wanted to use this method to naturally wipe out Dasong's cavalry. Although Dasong's government and the public were well aware of the Hu people's schemes, they had no countermeasures.
Now, there are actually military horses for sale in Mahan Mountain, and there are not only Xixia horses and Northern Mongolian horses, but also Xiyi pear horses, and there are even quotations for sweat-blooded horses. Seeing these military horses that he dreamed of, could Gai Rencong
Gaffe?
"Someone...come..." Gai Rancong suddenly shouted.
"Sir..." The Chang Sui who was waiting next to him responded softly.
"Send someone to ask Mr. Fan to come over... no... prepare the car... prepare the car, I'm going to pay a visit to the Commander-in-Chief..." Gai Rencong was shaking with excitement.
"Sir, it's the end of Haishi now." Chang Sui reminded him softly.
"Ah... It's Haishi, it's too late... It's too late... Let's go tomorrow morning... I'll tell you to ask Master Fan, General Lu and others to come to the government office at dawn tomorrow morning. I have important, very important matters to discuss with them."
Gai Rancong went back to his room, but he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep.
Of course, this is such a big deal. With the army and horses, the combat effectiveness of the Dasong army will be greatly improved. With the increase in combat effectiveness... it may be possible to counterattack and regain the Dasong River and Mountains.
Ma Hanshan... is such a mysterious person. He is a big boy. Not only can he make amazing objects, but he can also buy military horses. Is this person... is this person sent by God to help me sing my praises?
At dawn the next day, Fan Tianshun, the commander of Jinghu City, Lu Wenkuan and several other generals in the city came. Gai Rencong, with two dark circles under his eyes, welcomed them into the hall with excitement.
"Everyone hasn't had breakfast yet. Come on, let's eat something together in the restaurant." Gai Rancong was excited all night and was already very hungry.
"Brother Yingming called us here for breakfast so early. This breakfast must be extraordinary. Even if we have already eaten it, we still have to eat it again. Besides, we were dragged over by your people as soon as we got up, so there was no time to eat.
Let's take a walk and have breakfast." Fan Tianshun is about the same age as Gai Rencong. The two have a close relationship. One is in charge of military affairs and the other is in charge of administration. They get along well with each other on a daily basis. They are the most cooperative military and political officials in Xiangfan over the years.
In terms of official culture, the slightly younger Fan Tianshun was half a rank higher than Gai Rencong. The reason why the two got along so well was not only because they had the same political views, but also because Fan Tianshun was also a civil servant, and they were the top pick and second pick in the same period.
Yes, the Dasong Dynasty was so weird. Almost all the troops, whether it was the army or the navy, whether it was the Forbidden Army or the Xiang Army, the highest commanders were civilian officials. So there is such a weird scene just because the founding emperor of Dasong
He was worried that the military generals would rebel against him, so he deliberately suppressed them. The Dasong Dynasty was the most extreme dynasty in history that valued civil servants over military affairs. It even stipulated that civil servants were not allowed to be killed. As a result, Dasong had not killed any civil servants since it was founded nearly two hundred years ago.
A civil servant, no matter how guilty he is, will at most be exiled and will never be beheaded.
It is also because of this that the civil servants like Shi Liyuan dared to murder the former Prime Minister Han Qizhou.
"Haha, breakfast is just ordinary pancakes and millet porridge, but I want to tell you something that you can't even dream of." Gai Rancong said as he walked.
"Master Gai, what is going on? If you don't tell me, how can we eat millet porridge?" Lu Wenkuan was the most familiar with Gai Rancong. Although his official position was much lower, he always spoke freely to Gai Rancong.
"Sit down, everyone eat first, and then talk after eating. Otherwise, after hearing this, you will be so excited that you won't be able to eat anything. You are all the gatekeepers of my northwest portal of Dasong. You must not be in good health." Gai Ren
Cong smiled and invited everyone to sit down for breakfast.
Without saying a word, Lu Wenkuan sat down and picked up the porridge bowl. After a while, he drank a bowl of porridge, took two bites of pickles, picked up a pancake, and wolfed it down.
"Now that you're full, Mr. Gai, please tell me, is it that Ma... Ma's leader has something new to do?" Lu Wenkuan wiped his mouth and said.
"Haha, this matter is indeed related to Ma Zhangshang, but it is not a new thing, but an old thing, an old thing that we desperately need." Gai Rencong himself was excited all night, but now he is whetting everyone's appetite
, he glanced at everyone and said, "Guess who guesses right, I will give him some fire and water lanterns. The lanterns you have never seen before are very bright."
"Sir, what is it that makes you so proud... Tell me... Tell me, I'm too lazy to guess." Lu Wenkuan was not that impatient.
"Now we are not short of food and soldiers. What makes Mr. Gai so happy is that either Mr. Gai is really promoted and wants to leave Xiangfan, or... Mr. Gai, it's not the imperial court that bought us military horses." A Fan said.
Tianshun's general said.
"Well, I guess I bought a military horse. If Gai is promoted, not only will he not be happy, but he will also be sad. He won't be able to leave Xiangfan." Fan Tianshun knew Gai Rencong quite well and knew that he was unwilling to leave Xiangfan.
Fan Tianshun's words were full of sadness. He didn't want Gai Rencong to leave Xiangfan, but he got the news that this old man would definitely be transferred away from Xiangfan this year. As he got older and had too many affairs in Xiangfan,
His body couldn't bear it. Secondly, someone in the court wanted to transfer him away from this place...
"Haha, you know me, Lord Commander." Gai Rencong put down his chopsticks and said, "The happy event I want to tell you is indeed related to the army and horses, but it has nothing to do with the imperial court."
Snapped!
Lu Wenkuan suddenly slapped the dinner table, stood up and said excitedly: "I know...I know who it is related to, it must be that monster...Master Gai, right..."
Gai Rencong smiled and nodded. That guy was indeed a monster. If he wasn't a monster, how could he have obtained military horses when he was blocked by many countries?
"Haha, it's really that kid. He's such a monster. He even managed to get a military horse. Mr. Gai, what kind of horse did he get? How much did he get? Hurry... tell us quickly." Lu Wenkuan was dancing happily.
shouted.
"Chang Shan...demeanor...pay attention to your demeanor, what kind of appearance you have..." Fan Tianshun shouted.
"Fan Shuai, I can't help but be excited. Army horses, how many times have I kowtowed to those adults in the capital? Have they ever given me a horse? Now... now that monster has come to my door. Can I not be excited?"
Fan Tianshun served as Marshal of the Northern Expedition, so his old subordinates often called him Fan Shuai.
"Brother Yingming, Chang Shan, what is this monster you are talking about?" Fan Tianshun was also very curious about the identity of this monster who could obtain military horses.
"Haha, Fan Shuai, do you still remember what happened in Guogai Mountain on the first day of winter last year? The Hu Gou battalion climbed over Guogai Mountain to cross the border to plunder, but they were captured by a group of mysterious local soldiers from Guogai Mountain.
They have been wiped out and the entire army has been destroyed." Lu Wenkuan was even more excited because he had checked yesterday and found out that the local soldiers who destroyed Hu Gou's battalion were the work of that evildoer Ma Hanshan.
"Of course I remember. I heard that Hu Gou wanted to send an envoy to apologize to our court. It's really strange. How could Hu Gou surrender? Is there something else in this?" Fan Tianshun said with a frown.
"Haha, Tianshun, you are overthinking it. There is nothing else to do. Hu Gou's national power has declined now, and Northern Mongolia is eyeing him. How can he still have the strength to look south? I heard that last year, Northern Mongolia and the anti-Hu Yelu Ge united.
Together, we ate a lot of land in the northeast of Hugou, which is Hugou's lair." Gai Rencong stroked his beard and said, "Perhaps, that boy's ability to get horses is related to Hugou's declining national power.
"
"Brother Yingming, if Hu Gou's national power is really weakened, it will be an opportunity for me." Fan Tianshun's eyes lit up.
"Hey, we must first strengthen ourselves at any opportunity... That guy is right. If we want to regain our country, we must first have the will of the country, and secondly, the will of the people. Does Dasong have the national will to regain our country now?" Gai Rancong finished speaking and gently said
He shook his head and said nothing.
No one said anything in the dining room, and it suddenly fell into silence.
This issue is too heavy. The reason why they are silent is because everyone knows that the country does not have such will now. Unless...the traitors in the DPRK are eliminated...
"Is he related to the annihilation of Hugou's battalion in Guogai Mountain? He also said this about the will of the country? Who is that monster? Brother Yingming, summon him to see you quickly..." After a while, Fan Tianshun said first
Speak.
"Haha, he is Ma Hanshan, the leader of Wagong Village in Guogai Mountain." Lu Wenkuan said eagerly.
"He...how did he become the leader of the village? Isn't he the head of the science sect?" Gai Rencong asked strangely.
"Well, he is also the head of the science department. You don't know how evil this guy is. He praises the most famous winemaker Li Zhuo, the most famous agricultural engineer Chen Bonong, and the most famous blacksmith... many celebrities.
, they are all his disciples." Lu Wenkuan's information gathering ability is not weak. In one day, he actually found out so many things about Ma Hanshan that he even asked him to clear up.
"Ah! Really? Then he is really a monster...quickly...send him here..." Fan Tianshun exclaimed again.
