Chapter 200 Iron Horse Glacier Comes to Dream

When you have money, you must spend it and convert it into strength.

As early as the Third Boy's Hundred Days, when the old bastard Wei Zhongxian told him that he had more than three million taels, he was already studying how to spend all the money. At that time, he began to allocate funds and supplies to various projects.

Shipyards, factories, scientific research by master craftsmen, health construction by doctors, academic societies, etc. all spend money to varying degrees. At the same time, another round of major military training began in June to expand the number of combat troops to 30,000. The most important thing is that we have brought in another 80,000 refugees, but not all of them have been released yet.

In mid-June, the new refugees had just enough time to get supplies, build houses, dig up land, and so on. If he waits until he sees the money, it will be too late.

He wasn't afraid that Wei Zhongxian would lie to him and cause Liaodong to collapse. Again, it was unnecessary. As for being robbed on the way back from the capital to transport money, that's really bullying an honest person, forcing Wang Yan to enter the border and start a killing spree...

In mid-August, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn harvest begins.

As a farming civilization since ancient times, farming is deeply engraved in our genes. Even in modern times when living materials are quite abundant and it is even necessary to promote compact discs, there will always be people who see an open space to study and plant something...

Leveling the terrain, dredging rivers, and building water conservancy are all for farming, while protecting the land from outsiders, driving away the Tatars, and building mountains and rivers are all for farming in a down-to-earth manner without any disturbance. Just like the powerful Han defeated the Xiongnu, the prosperous Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, and the Ming Dynasty defeated the Tatars. Only when the outside is stable can the inside develop with peace of mind. In ancient times, development meant farming.

It's not so bad in modern times. When people see warehouses full of grain, they can't help but grin from the bottom of their hearts. Because that indicates that they can survive and live without starvation.

Wang Yan always fights for development. There has been no war in Liaodong for two years, a large amount of land reclamation and water conservancy project construction, plus the overall weather conditions in Liaodong this year are acceptable, as well as blessings such as plant ash, human and animal excrement fertilizers, etc., it can be regarded as relatively good. A good year.

Even if the grain harvest is enough to feed his 400,000 people, the shortfall is not very big. But because he brought in another 80,000 refugees, he still had to purchase from outside.

That’s not a big problem. The refugees come here to work and die in the winter. The food output next year may not be greater, but it won’t be too bad. There are also so many pigs he raises, and the tribes he has conquered on the grassland are also very stable internally, and the number of cattle and sheep they raise is also increasing. These meats are given priority to be consumed by soldiers. For such a large consumer, if you eat more meat, you will eat less food. In addition to river fish and seafood, it can also save a lot of food, which is generally enough.

As someone who came here four hundred years later, although Wang Yan didn't know much about agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery, he knew the principles of summarizing experience, finding commonalities, and making improvements and breakthroughs. In order to increase grain production, precision farming, and improve pig disease resistance, meat gain, etc., he recruited many experienced farmers, old herdsmen on the grasslands, etc. to form a research institute. These two years may not be easy, but if you have a few years to make progress and study, you can look forward to the future...

In November, Sun Chengzong was so restless that he ran out of the customs and wandered around Wang Yan's territory. According to current terms, he went out for research and study. Of course, he acted privately without orders.

A year later, I looked at the spacious cement roads winding away; the new villages with gray bricks and gray tiles, bright and clear windows; the large tracts of reclaimed land; the well-equipped patrols that passed by on horseback from time to time. soldier; soldier

The men who were sweating profusely while working on a cold day; the old people who were lucky enough to survive and sunbathe in the open space in the village, smiling happily with their toothless mouths exposed;

The women with their hair in buns gathered around and chatted, and not far away, children wearing small fur coats and with red faces gathered together to play in the snow;

The boys and girls in the club who worked hard to keep a straight face and seized the hard-won opportunity to study hard were not as good as the boss.

Looking at the faces full of hope and the rising smoke, Sun Chengzong seemed to have glimpsed a glimmer of unity. Old people will die, strong people will be useful, and young people will learn something. Unconsciously, Sun Chengzong was a little crazy.

He didn't even think that Wang Yan could run Liaodong so well with such a thing. After all, Wang Yan's resume was clear to him, but he didn't see that he had the ability to govern the world.

When I thought again that the Ming Dynasty had such a talented person, he turned out to be a careerist and became the biggest rebel leader. I couldn't help but feel sad about the decline of the Ming Empire.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came over, waking up Sun Chengzong who was standing on the roadside looking at the village with his hands behind his back.

Xun Sheng turned around and saw a carriage in the distance, and several armored knights with two horses driving over.

Within a moment, the carriage came to a stop in front of Sun Chengzong. The bodyguard acting as the driver dismounted and said, Mr. Sun Ge, my lord has prepared wine and food and invites you to a banquet.

You have good control over Liaodong...

The guard smiled and said nothing. He turned around and took the stool from the car: Mr. Sun Ge, please.

Sun Chengzong walked forward with a smile and was helped by the guards to get into the car: Let's go, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that your family has given birth to several children?

Mr. Hui Sunge, that's exactly what happened. There are three young masters and two young ladies.

You are a blessed one, let's go...

The personal guards drove Sun Chengzong in a carriage, and the two guards rode on the two empty horses they had brought, and headed all the way to Jinzhou City...

After seeing a few children, Sun Chengzong left a piece of jade pendant he had with him for the eldest son, and the other two said they were going back to send someone to deliver it. He didn't want to come over, but Wang Yandu invited him to come over. It was inevitable that he was not well prepared for the sudden visit, but Wang Yan did not pick him out.

After dinner, Wang Yan and Sun Chengzong drank tea and chatted in the middle hall.

Old Sun, what is the purpose of leaving seclusion this time?

Wang Yan didn't really believe that people like Sun Chengzong were just hanging around. People like him, who were concerned about the country and the people, were very purposeful and would not do useless things. Even if he is over sixty years old, he will not be able to take a leisurely stroll and have fun.

I've always heard that your place is developing well. I just came over to see it for myself if I have nothing to do recently. Sun Chengzong sighed: If I remember correctly, you are only nineteen years old this year, right?

Exactly.

I really didn't expect...you can do this at such a young age. In comparison, my life at this age is really in vain...

You don't have to belittle yourself. Wang Yan comforted him with a smile: It's just a coincidence that I am where I am today.

Sun Chengzong knew where this 'coincidence' was. It was because Ming Dynasty was in trouble and couldn't control him. Without saying any more, he turned to ask: I heard that you are sending troops again? Are you going to divide the troops into two groups, one to fight Mongolia and the other to fight the Jiannu?

It's not about fighting, it's just about expanding the territory and grabbing people and supplies. It's not like you don't know that if the court doesn't allocate military pay to me and I don't think of a solution myself, what will happen to the 500,000 soldiers and civilians in Liaodong?

Last year Wang Yan sent people to Mongolia to annex the tribes. In fact, it would not take long to fight the war himself. The difficulty was to find those tribes. There are nomadic people on the grassland, living in pursuit of water and grass, and they settle in different places throughout the year. In such a large grassland, it is quite difficult to find people. Even if the guide leading the way is also a grassland person, it is not easy to do it. It will take several years.

It's easy to talk about Huang Taiji. Since the old bastard declared his vassalship, Wang Yan has not touched him much except for compressing Houjin's territory and retreating to the surrounding areas of Shengjing. He has even done business with him.

So after a year of self-cultivation, Hou Jin has now recovered, and Huang Taiji is even better again. This old bastard actually dares to ask North Korea to pay tribute. Isn't this the whole story?

Last year he only had three boats, but after a winter he built two more. A total of five warships equipped with the latest artillery brought 2,000 direct military households and 4,000 of the soldiers and horses later recovered to the Jinzhou Guard at the beginning of spring. A total of 6,000 people. At the same time, troops from Panshan and Guangning launched simultaneous attacks. After a three-pronged attack, Huang Taiji's troops were driven all the way to Liaoyang, Weining (Benxi), Fushun and other areas surrounding Shengjing, which was what he called a compression of Huang Taiji's territory.

Under this condition, according to the map of the real world, the southern and southwestern areas of Liao Province are Wang Yan's territory. After taking over these territories, it was impossible for the people without combat effectiveness to open up wasteland and cultivate the land. Therefore, in addition to the soldiers who needed to maintain stability and respond to emergencies to bombard Shanhaiguan, the rear basically pressed forward. Together with the training of new soldiers, the clearing of wasteland and farming by military households, etc., it took root directly.

Under such circumstances, the bordering frontline city of Dandong was in his hands, and he was directly at the gate of North Korea. Wang Yan came into contact with North Korea.

North Korea also knew about Wang Yan. It was a relatively close force, so how could they not understand him. They didn't believe in Wang Yan's abilities, and scorned the envoys he sent in the past, but they didn't receive the treatment they deserved.

Wang Yan was not used to this kind of despicable disease, so he directly ordered people to cross the river and visit three cities in one day. A group of adult and almost adult men were captured and brought back to do hard labor.

It was also under this circumstance that the two sides conducted friendly negotiations and reached a series of agreements. Including treaties such as opening markets and paying tribute. As for the three small towns that have been captured, they will definitely not be sent back. The troops from the rear will directly press on and garrison troops on the spot.

Also under such circumstances, that blind old bastard Huang Taiji still dared to come over and ask North Korea to pay tribute? This is not a challenge to North Korea, this is a challenge to Wang Yan, so this winter Wang Yan sent another two thousand soldiers to Pope Tai Chi to be a man. At the same time, the trade between the two sides was cut off, and many adult bannermen were captured and returned to do hard labor until they died.

I set out to do this in October, but I haven't come back yet. Wang Yan doesn't know the details, but Huang Taiji sent an envoy over...

Wang Yan analyzed why Huang Taiji suddenly started troubles, and there were no more than three points. First, artillery, muskets, etc. were produced. Although they were not as advanced as Wang Yan, they were still powerful enough as they were lengthened and enlarged. Second, on the basis of one, if you want to seek a larger territory, the main reason is that it is a bit uncomfortable to be compressed, the strategic depth is too small, and there is no sense of security. The third is that after it has been stable for a while, it becomes restless inside again.

Now Wang Yan's front line against Huang Taiji is the Anshan and Liaozhong areas. If he really wants to fight Huang Taiji, it will happen in the morning and evening, and it is normal to be afraid.

But Huang Taiji really doesn’t understand what technology is. He just waited a long time for his crappy thing to provoke Wang Yan? Not to mention the speed of iteration of his own weapons, even those guns from last year were not something Huang Taiji could deal with.

Therefore, in summary, Wang Yan thinks that the last point is most likely to rely on external forces to stabilize the internal situation. Originally, in history, Huang Taiji relied on external wars to weaken the strength of his internal competitors, and finally came to power completely. Now everyone is being beaten externally, so internal friction is impossible. In addition, of course, it is not ruled out to test it out. If it is found that it can be done, then there is nothing more to say, and the army will just come over.

Not necessarily. There are envoys from Jiannu including North Korea to Liaodong, and Mongolia is even more fiercely fighting. Sun Chengzong looked at Wang Yan who was drinking tea at the side: You want to annex the entire north!

Of course. Wang Yan nodded and admitted without hesitation: Does this have any impact on the Ming Dynasty? Old Sun, don't say that I defend the enemy from outside, and don't let Jiannu and Mongolian tribes go south to plunder. Just say that I have two I don’t have to ask for military pay anymore, and saving so much money can be regarded as helping the Ming Dynasty, right?”

Last year, Jiannu came to the court to declare himself a vassal. In order to allow you to continue fighting, I gave Jiannu a large amount of supplies. I am training troops in the fields of Yongning Prefecture. It is a big expense. How much can I save? Sun Chengzong shook his head and sighed. : But it's really thanks to you that I'm tied up in Yongping Mansion. If not, I might have to lead troops to suppress the peasants who can't survive. Oh... how miserable...

Wang Yan said: That is to say, I can still cope with it now, so I don't need you. In my opinion, when more and more peasants who can't survive gather together, you will inevitably go into battle. The Ming Dynasty is so rotten that there is no way to save it. Why don't you just come over here? Just help me run Liaodong.

Sun Chengzong smiled and said: I have devoted my whole life to the Ming Dynasty, and I will not bother you when I am about to be buried. Besides, following a rebel like you, I will not be safe this evening...

Looking at what you said, why did I become a rebel? I didn't spend a penny from the court to prevent the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes from going south to plunder. I was just a lone foreign army who didn't listen to orders. I had no credit but hard work. , you can’t say that.”

Sun Chengzong didn't dwell on this. How could a rebel say that he was a rebel? He thought for a moment and said, How many more people can you pick up if you have a clear understanding with me?

In the expectant eyes of Sun Chengzong, Wang Yan shook his head ruthlessly: The 80,000 people in the previous batch have just settled down and have not yet digested it. They will not be able to kill people in the short term. Moreover, it is bitterly cold in Liaodong and they will die faster without a house to live in.

Really?

Sun Chengzong didn't believe it. The sights he saw along the way were unmatched by those around the capital. How could it not be able to receive more people?

As expected. Wang Yan took a sip of tea and said, I know what you are thinking, but I also have to consider the opinions of the people living in the land of Liaodong. No one wants to go from having enough food and clothing to living in peace. Back to the days when food was scarce and life was precarious. Even those 80,000 people before were just hanging on for dear life. Old Sun, the resistance is too great, and I am really powerless...

Besides, even if I have the ability to take some people out of the customs, how many people can there be? One hundred thousand people is enough for me to digest for a period of time. But now in the Ming Dynasty, from south to north, from east to west, military households, common people, and big soldiers , there are more than a million people who can’t eat and can’t survive? Those who can’t be saved...

Of course I know, but we are all people of the Ming Dynasty, we can't just watch helplessly...

Wang Yan shook his head, knowing that this was the purpose of Sun Chengzong coming here, but he was helpless. He has money and supplies in his hands, but they are all planned and cannot be unexpected expenses like this. Although he is suspected of being an ambitious man who refuses to save his life and only cares about himself, what happened when he didn't come? What's more, he has hundreds of thousands of people under his command. If you really want to count his merits, it would be called immeasurable.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty is not without a way to survive. It is only the second year of Chongzhen's reign. The biggest foreign enemy is still resisted by Wang Yan, and a bunch of rubbish in the south are not worth mentioning. Besides, the main reason for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty was man-made disaster, which was lack of money. As long as Zhu Youjian has a strong army that is completely obedient, and he can confiscate people's homes while ensuring his own safety, he will kill anyone who refuses to obey. If you go through it from top to bottom, the Ming Dynasty will basically be restored.

But Zhu Youjian obviously didn't have this ability. Even if he gave Wang Yan's soldiers, there was a high probability that he would die in the end. After all, it sounds simple, but there are ways to kill people. Kill the right one, cut the flesh with a blunt knife, and frighten the demons and monsters. If the wrong one is killed, then there will be rebellion everywhere and chaos everywhere. Speaking of army construction, a strong army will be destroyed soon after Zhu Youjian's command. Moreover, 80% of the role of this powerful army in Zhu Youjian's hands is to serve as a fire brigade...

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was not in the mood to gossip and it was already getting late, after saying a few more words, he sent someone to take Sun Chengzong down to settle down.

Wang Yan looked at the snowflakes falling in the wind under the corridor in the courtyard for a while, then strolled back to his big bed to sleep. Well... he slept well.

The children were still young. Although the house had a wet nurse that was standard for wealthy families, Wang Yan felt that it would be better to drink milk from his own mother. These women are all in good health and have enough milk, so they basically don’t need a wet nurse. That is to say, Wei Yan gave birth to two children, and then fed the boy first. The girl was always not full, and had to find Ding Baiying to eat more...

The children kept crying at night. Wang Yan found it disturbing, and Zhang Yan was pregnant with Liujia, so he simply fell asleep by himself.

Listening to the howling wind outside, Wang Yan couldn't help but think of Lu You's I lie down at night and listen to the wind and rain, and the iron horse glacier falls into my dreams. He replaced rain with snow. Not to mention Lu You's feelings in the previous sentence, just this sentence , just in line with the passion of the man who drove away the Tartars and beheaded people on the battlefield, he felt a sense of heroism.
