Tie Mo has deep meaning in doing this. Although Fei Guyang has rebelled, he may not be of the same mind as Tie Mo. Only letting King Yeling and Fei Guyang confront the Uighurs is the most advantageous. Now, although King Yeling has lost two
Although the formation is still strong, maybe if you go back and rest for a while, you can defeat Fei Guyang and start again.
To recapture Xizhou, it is necessary to weaken King Yeling's strength. At least in a short period of time, King Yeling must not be able to think of attacking Xizhou. Of course, it will not work if King Yeling is too damaged. In that case, Fei Gu
Yang sent his troops to destroy King Yeling and unify the Uighurs. His ambitions were bound to grow and he sent his troops to attack the city of Datun.
Geng Zhongming and Orger chased all the way, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and it was quite difficult for King Yeling. Fortunately, King Yeling rushed back to Yanqi Town in time. If he had come back two days later, Fei Guyang would have captured
Not only the city of Korla will be affected, but also Yanqi Town, an important town in the north, may suffer.
On March 27th, the situation in the Uighur territory finally settled down. In fact, from the beginning to the end, the Northern Shanxi Army did not participate in many battles except for a fierce battle outside Datun City. It was Fei Guyang and King Yeling who fought
No
It's fair to say. Sometimes Aqige also felt that the Iron Governor was quite shady. He had been trying to keep the Uighurs in trouble, but wars had broken out all over the place. Now that Fei Guyang and King Yeling were deadly enemies, I'm afraid the Uighurs would not be able to live in peace in the future.
What's even more frustrating is that in the end, it was the Northern Shanxi Army that contributed the least and gained the most. Although it only had Datuncheng and Ruoqiang, most of the horse farms along the Kongque River and near Puchanghai were in its hands. For the Iron Governor,
He said, "He has two goals in this expedition to the northwest."
Yes, the first purpose is to arrest people and capture enough free labor to open water canals in northern Shanxi. The second purpose is to occupy the racecourse as much as possible and solve the problem of the source of war horses. Now, both purposes have been achieved. As for
Everything else was done casually.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, great progress has been made in all aspects, especially firearms, which have advanced by leaps and bounds, but only the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty has made slow progress. It is not that the Ming Dynasty lacked cavalry, but that it lacked war horses. Not long ago, teacher Sun Chengzong wrote to ask for one
War horses. Although armaments occupy the Monan grassland
, produced war horses, but those war horses were almost completely divided by Xuanhua Prefecture, Datong Prefecture and the Shaanxi frontier army. How could there be any extra for Liaodong? Now, with this war horse, Teacher Sun's urgent need can be solved.
This saves Teacher Sun from saying that this student of his is too stingy.
After the Uighur war ended, Tie Mo wrote a letter and sent it to Liaodong. Then he took it upon himself to appoint Geng Zhongming as the commander-in-chief, responsible for the military affairs in northwest Shaanxi, and garrisoned Datun City. He also appointed Mengke as the deputy commander-in-chief, garrisoning Qing Dynasty.
In Tangcheng, Deng Chengming led the general and was responsible for defending Qinghai.
Rush to the aid of Datun City at any time. At this point, Tiemo used his tyrannical military power to control the entire Qinghai area and the southern part of the Hetao Grassland in the northwest. The expansion of the Northern Shanxi Army's power made the most uneasy people not the Oara people, not the Uighurs, and not the Tutu people.
Huoluo people, but people from Northern Khalkha.
In the court of Wulunte in Mobei, Dutra was sitting by the pond fishing. He was so sleepy that he knew that the old Khan King was not thinking about fishing. Dutra kept thinking about finding a way out for Mobei, because if he continued like this
, Mobei is in danger. Now the Northern Shan Dynasty army occupies Tula and Hengduan Mountains, and Orger leads the army to garrison in the southwest. Originally, the eastern and southern parts of Mobei were facing great dangers.
Pressure, now Tie Mo is fighting all the way again, turning Qinghai, Uighur and southern Uighur into his own sphere of influence. He has garrisoned Datun City with Geng Zhongming and formed an alliance with Fei Guyang. In the blink of an eye, the three directions of Mobei, east, west and south have been blocked.
Well, the north is a barren land again. If things continue like this, Mobei's daily necessities will be controlled by the Northern Shanxi Army.
What should we do? Dutra really can't think of a good way. After all, Mobei is still too weak. If there is a force as powerful as the Jurchen cavalry, he can definitely deploy heavy troops in the east to prevent Geng Zhongming from conquering the west with a large army.
Geng Zhongming forcibly opened a gap in the west, but he could only think about it. With Mobei's current strength, he could only take care of both sides.
At the end of March, Tie Mo returned to northern Shanxi. At this time, it was already the spring planting season in northern Shanxi. Usually, everyone was busy with farming and could not do anything. But this year was different. There were people working in the farmland, and in the distance, there was a group of strong people.
The Han Dynasty was working hard to dig a river. As early as two months ago, an order was issued in northern Shanxi to dig a large river around northern Shanxi to prevent northern Shanxi from
We were suffering from drought again. At that time, many people felt that this was unrealistic. First of all, digging such a big river was very expensive and could not be done by a single manpower. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also opened the Grand Canal. What was the result? But we didn’t expect it.
His Highness the King of Qin was so ruthless that he did not need the people of the Ming Dynasty to go out to arrest people. In this trip, he arrested nearly 200,000 free laborers.
It is indeed a bit inhumane to capture so many foreigners to dig the river. What makes Tie Mo even more dumbfounded is that those foreigners dug the river to eat food. Although they don't think it is so miserable, some scholar-bureaucrats in the court jumped out to criticize northern Shanxi.
The order was issued. Of course Tie Mo understood what was going on. With so many scholar-bureaucrats jumping out to give advice, how could it be possible without the support of the cabinet and Zhu Youjian?
Tie Mo didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. Those people had always lived on the plateau, where the jungle was the law of the jungle, and the losers were slaves. They did the hardest work and ate the worst food, so Tie Mo
It is not excessive at all to let these people develop the Shanxi Grand Canal. In their opinion, it is normal. Moreover, if they eat well every day and work actively, they can be granted Ming household registration and be rewarded with land.
Although they were used as free labor, not many prisoners were dissatisfied. Moreover, the lives of their families were in the hands of the Northern Shanxi Army. Who dared to be dissatisfied?
Some people say that Tie Mo is the Sui Yang Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The construction of the Northern Shanxi Grand Canal is a waste of people and money. In this regard, Tie Mo disdains to argue that none of the miracles in history were built with human lives. First, Qin Shihuang enslaved the six countries and built
The Great Wall, followed by Sui Yang
The emperor opened the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, even if the Great Western Railway of the United States was built in later generations, wasn't every inch of the blood of workers bleeding? At least Tie Mo did not use the people of the Ming Dynasty as laborers. As for those foreign captives, if they were not allowed to work, how could they still work every day?
Good food and drink to serve?
The entire excavation of the Grand Canal in Northern Shanxi was personally supervised by Yang Wenyi. From digging the river to clearing the soil, a total of more than 400,000 people were used. It is estimated that when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened the Grand Canal, it was not such a grand event.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents in the river work, Tie Mo also sent Chen Yaofeng to Yang Wenyi. Yu Lai followed Tie Mo's advice and strictly managed the alien prisoners who dug the river. Every twenty people were in a small team. If there was one person in the team,
If you escape, the whole team will be implicated and will be killed without mercy. Tie Mo's order can be said to be very cruel, but Da Lai still tried his best to complete the task.
In a house in Luoyang, the man in black robe could not help but feel grateful for Tie Mo's generosity. If Tie Mo was really allowed to complete the great cause of transforming northern Shanxi, maybe the land in northern Shanxi could really return to its former prosperity. Recently, the man in black robe
The pressure he felt was increasing, and he felt that Tie Mo had become more and more domineering, and he did not even dare to confront him head-on. He had to expand his strength as soon as possible. Tie Mo developed rapidly, but Tingyuge's career stalled.
If we don't move forward, how will we fight against the forces in northern Shanxi in the future?
After thinking for a while, he clapped his hands, and Yin Rong walked in from the outside. Compared with before, Yin Rong had an extra scar on his forehead, which looked like the third eye of Erlang Shen. As for how he got this scar
, it’s interesting to say that Yin Rong was originally sent to Muzhou
According to the original plan, those who carried out the mission were to lead the Holy Cult people to rescue Zhang Xianzhong, but they ran into Yang Sichang's men. As soon as the two sides met, the result was obvious. If someone hadn't been desperately protecting them, maybe they would be together now.
Kai was already lying on the road to Muzhou.
"Master, what are your orders?" Yin Rong cupped his hands and asked.
"How are the Beggar Gang's preparations going? If everything is ready, take action immediately to prevent the Beggar Gang from falling into the hands of the Northern Shanxi Party again!" The man in black robe's voice was hoarse and a little cold. Although he couldn't see his face, he could not see his face.
It could be heard in his voice that he was very angry.
In the past two years, the Northern Shanxi Intelligence Office has developed faster and faster. The sand sculpture has twisted the entire intelligence office into a rope, and then continued to absorb talented people and strangers from the world, becoming more and more powerful.
Yin Rong frowned and said hesitantly, "Leader, are you a little anxious? Can the officials like these poor beggars?"
"Where's all this nonsense? Humph, follow my orders. We must take down the Beggar Gang this time!"
"Yes, I obey." Yin Rong did not dare to say anything more and left with a sad face. The man in black robe naturally knew what Yin Rong knew, and he also knew that something was wrong, but if he waited any longer, the risk would be even greater.
In April, in the distance are the mountains full of flowers at midnight, walking on the grass, insects and birds singing happily. This is a season when the grass grows and the orioles fly. No one doesn’t like spring. I looked at the river work condition on the river embankment.
Mo returned to the Moon Palace. During this period, various affairs in northern Shanxi were carried out in an orderly manner. Hailanzhu was busy all day and no one was seen, but the Iron Supervisor was relatively free.
At the end of May in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Jinyang section of the canal was finally dug. This was like a shot in the arm for the people in northern Shanxi. After all, there were still many people who were skeptical about the blessing of the Grand Canal in northern Shanxi. Everyone felt that
Digging this big river is a waste of time and money, and the people in northern Shanxi may not be able to afford it. However, the digging of the Grand Canal has not increased the burden on the people. They will only help transport supplies from time to time.
It is true that every time the people in northern Shanxi increase their burden, the financial burden in northern Shanxi is even greater. The northern Shanxi Canal is not dug at the same time. It is limited to human and financial resources. At present, only the Jinyang and Huazhou sections are dug, but this section is
, it cost a huge amount, equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of gold. One hundred thousand
Two pieces of gold is not a small amount. Half of the deposits in Zhangjiakou and Zhangbei were withdrawn. Opening a canal is not as simple as digging a river. It also requires getting the corresponding stones to build river embankments. Aren't these all costs? Fortunately, Tie Mo remembered
Find out how to get cement, otherwise more money will be wasted.
In just half a year, Tie Mo experienced the hardships of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty when he dug the Grand Canal. This is really a good intention but a bad thing. Recently, Hai Lanzhu has also started to talk about it, asking Inspector Tie to find a way to get money.
If they can't get enough materials and money, the Grand Canal thing will have to stop. The reason is very simple. Hai Lanzhu and Chang Minyue can't spend the money they have.
Northern Shanxi has raised nearly 200,000 troops, of which more than 100,000 are elite soldiers and horses. Especially recently, they have to build 20,000 cavalry. These 20,000 cavalry are big money eaters. If all the money is really spent on river construction,
There will be less money for building the army and circulating for business. Anyway, Zhu Hailanzhu's idea is very simple. Just use the spare money to do river construction. If there is not enough for other things, you, the iron governor, can think of a way by yourself, whether you rob or collect.
It doesn't matter whether it's taxes or not.
Tie Mo was lying on the bench, his brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan". Nunu obediently helped rub his temples, and smiled mysteriously in a low voice, "Supervisor, Nunu knows where Madam hid the money, or else
Help you steal it out?"
Steal? Tie Mo grinned when he heard this. Nunu, this damn girl, really dared to think of anything. Stealing Hailanzhu’s money was not just stealing his Tie’s money. Fortunately, Nunu could think of it.
Nunu smiled sweetly, but she didn't know that there was another person behind her. Hai Lanzhu had been busy for a long time and wanted to come and lie down on the bench for a while and drink some porridge. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to the yard, he heard
That damn girl started talking nonsense again
Of course, he would not be really angry with Nunu. If he was angry with Nunu, he would be very angry even if he was not sick. He reached out and flicked Nunu's little head, and pretended to be angry and said, "Stinky girl,
My skin is itchy again, whose money did you just say you stole?"
"Ah!" Nunu didn't expect to be caught in the act. The originally very shameless person also blushed, slapped the towel on his shoulder on the iron governor's face, and ran out with his waist up, "
Madam, please wait a moment while your servant goes to see if the porridge is ready!"
Nunu ran away in despair, but Tie Mo was very angry. This girl had grown up, but her temperament had not changed much. She was still careless in doing things. She just ran away and put a towel on his face.
Let Hai Lanzhu sit next to him, put his arms around the beauty's waist, and said happily, "Zhu'er, how's the cement thing going?"
"It's okay. It worked according to your method. I tried it on the corner of the wall and it's really strong. It's not afraid of fire or water. Tell me the truth, how did you know that this cement is
I have never heard of it before!"
"Ahem, well, the secret must not be leaked." Tie Mo straightened his face, with an inscrutable look on his face. He didn't want to explain, how could he explain it, could he tell Hailanzhu that he, Tie, came from hundreds of years in the future?
"I'm just pretending to be mysterious. It's probably a bad idea where I came up with it. I didn't expect it to actually come true. Husband, the stone matter can be slowed down for a while, but you have to pay more attention to the money matter. But for now, increase
Taxes are not going to work. Northern Shanxi has just been stable for a few years and the people are a little affluent, so raising taxes at this time may be counterproductive."
