The Sacred Ding
Chapter 120
In the first World War of Chishan City, tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers and thousands of good horses were captured. Finally, they were assigned to Chen lie''s name, and there were 4000 auxiliary soldiers and horses and 4000 good horses to drive into the battlefield.
At the pharmacist''s garden, 1000 pairs of armour and 1000 good horses are left as reserves. Other armour and horses must be sold out through various channels and replaced with necessary resources, so as to continue to support the expenses of Zhaoyang tinghou house and the cultivation and training of thousands of elite hubing soldiers and more than 300 disciples'' camp teenagers.
Chen Hai and his entourage entered the mission this time, bringing more than 500 vice soldiers and more than 500 good horses into Yanjing.
There is a special place for mule and horse trading in the west city of Yanjing. Zhou Jingyuan arranged someone to set up a spot there, but the place is narrow. Unless you meet a big customer, you can only bring 20 or 30 good horses from Taohua dock to the site for selection.
The armour shop on the side of Tieqiao lane is the same. More than 500 auxiliary armours need to be carefully improved by craftsmen to sell at a higher price. Thirty or fifty auxiliary armours are placed in the shop every time.
These things are arranged by Zhou Jingyuan and Ding Shuang, and Chen haicao doesn''t need too much heart.
The negotiation between the marching mission headed by GE Xuanqiao and the Taiwei mansion and the envoy of Hexiang army soon came to an end after two years.
Wu Weijun and he Xiangjun are nominally under the rule of the Dayan empire. Neither side will enter into a formal peace agreement, but the Taiwei house will issue instructions and talismans to re divide the territory of the two countries in the name of adjusting the defense area.
Lanchuan County, half a county north of Hechuan ridge, will be under the jurisdiction of the general''s office of Dadu protection in Hexi; Taiwei Prefecture also agreed to establish Yulong Prefecture in Yulong Prefecture, Yanchuan Prefecture and other prefectures and counties. County inspectors, prefects and officials of various prefectures and counties were directly appointed by Hexi Dadu protectorate. The jurisdiction and sphere of influence of Dong family and Wuwei army were officially expanded to three prefectures.
The Hexiang army lost half of the county north of Hechuan ridge, and its sphere of influence and population scale were only half that of Wuwei army.
On January 26, the Taiwei mansion officially issued an imperial edict. In addition to the adjustment of the defense area, the envoys of the two countries also privately agreed that the clans north of Hechuan ridge, including a large number of demobilized soldiers and generals, including Ding Shuang and other local military officials of Chishan County, can voluntarily choose to belong to the Dong family. The Hexiang Army shall not stop or send people to assassinate and retaliate; Some of the captured clans and generals should choose to return to the south. The crane Xiang army can contribute to the redemption, and the Wuwei army must not stop it.
Such a peaceful negotiation condition is naturally very favorable to the Wuwei army. It can also stabilize the situation from Hechuan mountain to Chishan mountain and turn the defense focus to the northwest before the ice and snow in the northern region melt.
The mission of entering Yanjing has been achieved. On January 28, Chen lie directly returned to Hexi with GE Xuanqiao, but the new imperial edict of the capital guard has also been transmitted to Yanjing. Dong pan will take over the post of jinzuo envoy and officially stay in Yanjing, and 1000 elite yamen soldiers will stay in Yanjing with Dong pan.
Ge Xuanqiao, Chen lie, Su Yuan and others did not have too many soldiers and disciples with them. They directly set foot on several spiritual birds in Yanjing and rose into the sky, and soon disappeared into the clouds.
It is difficult to cross the Guanshan Mountain in Qintong. Chen Hai and his family have been in Yanjing for nearly a month, but it may only take two or three days to return to Hexi; With GE Xuanqiao''s strong Zhenyuan mana, you can fly directly back to Taiwei mountain.
"Chen Hai, you should be able to practice in the school Palace this time. You probably won''t stay at Meiwu castle at any time, but the situation in Beijing is changing. No one knows when something will happen. You should appoint someone to stay at Meiwu castle just in case."
After Ge Xuanqiao and Chen lie left, many things in Hexi in Yanjing were officially handled with Dong pan as the leader, and Dong pan directly told Chen Hai about some things.
In addition to the 1000 elite yamen soldiers, the 200 elite Hu soldiers in the Marquis house of Zhaoyang Pavilion, under the command of Chen Hai, and the taiweizong disciples who will stay in Yanjing to travel and practice in the future, all need to accept Dong Pan''s moderation.
Chen Hai thought that Dong Liang, the general of Dadu protection, ordered Dong pan to lead a thousand elite yamen soldiers to stay in Yanjing. At this time, Dong pan asked him to appoint a person to stay in Meiwu castle, which must be convenient to call the 200 elite hubing soldiers stationed in Taohua dock at the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion at any time.
Considering that Zhou Jun would not stay in Taohua dock at any time, Chen Hai said:
"In the end, Wu Meng will lead the two teams to stay at Taohua dock at any time, so that he can be at the disposal of Dong Shuai at any time!"
No matter whether there are contradictions within the Chen family or whether someone in Dadu general''s house is suppressing Uncle Chen lie, Hexi has always been a whole of common advance and retreat, and Dong is their real core.
Chen Hai originally wanted to use the 200 Huqi in his hand to do dart business, but it seems that Dong still wants to take a share in the chaotic and complex situation in Yanjing. He needs to leave enough people in Taohua stronghold so that Dong pan can call at any time.
"Good!"
Dong pan didn''t know if there were any additional orders after Chen lie left. He was worried that Chen Hai was rebellious and might not obey his arrangement. At this time, seeing that Chen Hai agreed simply, he was a little relieved and asked Chen Hai, Dong Ning and other disciples and generals to speak in the hall.
The Hexi Dadu protectorate has long set up a horse farm in Yanjing, and set up a horse farm manager to take charge of this matter. Every year, nearly 1000 qingcung horses and tens of thousands of good horses are sold through the horse farm to exchange necessary resources for Hexi. The scale is much larger than the horses stored in Taohuawu.
Du Junfeng, the manager of the racecourse, was the son of Du Shang, the taiweizong Dharma protector. He was 41 years old and was sent out early to take charge of his own affairs.
However, after that, the racecourse and the three or four hundred good players in the racecourse from Du Junfeng should be controlled by Dong pan.
The house where Chen Hai and his family are now located is also on Hongwu street in Xicheng, four or five hundred steps away from the escort line of the pharmacist''s garden. It was originally Du Junfeng''s residence, but from now on, it will be directly changed to Hexi jinzuo envoy''s residence, so that Dong pan can contact the power officials in Yanjing nearby.
To sit down in the hall, Dong pan first sorted out the staffing arrangements of Hexi people and horses in Yanjing.
Meiwu castle is next to peach blossom castle, which can be regarded as a whole. The main force of a thousand yamen soldiers cannot casually enter Yanjing City, so they can only be led by Guan Xiong, a general of suwu school; During Chen Hai''s absence from Taohua castle, Wu Meng was appointed to command the 200 Hu guards of the Marquis house of Zhaoyang Pavilion on his behalf, which was also under Guan Xiong''s control.
Du Junfeng leads the racecourse; The armour shop and escort shop in the pharmacist''s garden are private industries of the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion. They will respond to each other, but they will not be directly under the jurisdiction of this side.
Another extremely important occasion is the Meizhu school palace outside the east city of Yanjing.
According to the previous proportion, about thirty or forty disciples of taiweizong can officially enter the school palace to practice through Weixuan this time, but other disciples can also stay in the school palace temporarily in the name of study tour.
There are seven or eight hundred disciples and bodyguards, and most of them have the cultivation of creating a spiritual realm. What really will happen in Yanjing? These seven or eight hundred people are mixed with more than a thousand Taoist yamen soldiers. The strength of the war can not be ignored by any party.
Dong Ning, the princess of Yuecheng, has the highest status, but when practicing, she may not have too much energy. Dong pan sent another female monk Pei Jinhua in the early stage of Ming Qiao territory to enter the school palace with Dong Ning, the princess of Yuecheng.
Pei Jinhua not only protects the Yuecheng Princess Dong Ning, but also wants taiweizong''s disciples to stay in the school palace to be controlled by her.
"Excuse me, Dong Shuai, what should we pay attention to when we practice in the school palace and communicate with disciples of other sects?" someone asked directly in the hall.
Those who can sit in this hall are the most promising people who hope to pass the election of the school palace. They are not low in the status of taiweizong and are naturally not stupid. At this time, they have more or less understanding of the current situation in Yanjing.
Everyone knows that there are only two or three thousand people available in Yanjing, but the HUBEN Eighth Army claims to have one million male troops, which can be compared with the elite of Dao yamen soldiers.
At the critical moment, their two or three thousand people can still play a role if they are well organized.
At present, Yanjing civil and military ministers are divided into two factions to secretly wrestle. The sacrificial rites and many disciples in the school palace come from various sects and nationalities, and they all have a stand. Then we should pay attention to the difference between intimacy and estrangement when we communicate with other disciples in the school palace.
"It doesn''t hurt. We just need to remember that you are all children of Hexi," Dong Pan said.
Seeing that Dong pan didn''t mind everyone''s contact with others in the school palace, Chen Hai thought to himself, what is Dong''s plan and who will choose to support between emperor Yitian and Prince Yingdan? Maybe it''s still at the stage of waiting for a price. Maybe even his Uncle Chen lie may not know that he can figure out Dong''s mind. His status at this time can only be regarded as low, and there''s no need to worry about it for the time being.
Even if Dong accidentally stood in the wrong team, as long as Dong''s foundation did not collapse in Hexi, they were not afraid of being bloody cleaned in Yanjing.
After chatting for a while, Dong Ning and others left.
Many disciples either live directly in the school palace or have other residences in Yanjing city. They only need to contact Dong pan when they have something to do; When Dong pan arrived, he left Chen Hai, Zhou Jun and Wu Meng to speak.
"It''s very good for you to use refugees to mine stones and cut down wood to build a fortress in Taohua dock. Later, you can supply stones and wood to Meiwu castle, so I won''t make additional arrangements. At this time, you may have to send some craftsmen to guide the refugees to build a river blocking dam, so as to master their movements..." Dong pan warned additionally.
"The end will know." Chen Hai nodded in response. He couldn''t see that Dong pan looked rough, but his mind was delicate. He had already mastered the trend of peach blossom stronghold. It seems that most general Hu kept Dong pan in Beijing. He knows people and is still useful.
Since Dong pan encouraged them to keep closer contact with the refugees and wanted to use the refugees to supply stone and wood for Meiwu castle, Chen Hai knew what to do and naturally agreed.
