Chapter 909: Hidden worries of foreign aggression

In the Xu family iron farm and blacksmith shop, there are not many people who can manage and do things. Although the Xu family like Xu Housheng and Xu Bende are few, they are not that rare. However, Zhao Jin does not want them to stand alone because the Xu family and the craftsmen from the Xu family system are too powerful and they are one of their own.

This kind of self-integration is not only about excluding outsiders, but even resisting new technologies and practices. One person says he is right, and one person thinks that what his master teaches cannot be changed. These are all easy to say. If ten or one hundred people say this, it is the truth. Whoever wants to improve it will not be able to continue to do it. What is arranged will be lip service. Finding an "outsider" who completely obeys his orders will be better and the efficiency will be higher.

Although Louis' management methods and organizational system are not in the eyes of Zhao Jin, it is better than the rules and methods of Xu Family Factory. At least they will not hide each other and cannot ignore each other's affection.

On the way back to Hejiazhuang from the cannon farm, the relatives of the entourage guards were extremely excited. In their impression, this cannon was a powerful weapon of the military and nationality, and it was impossible for the people to have it. But today I saw that Zhaoziying himself also had such cannons, which made everyone feel extremely confident and proud. There were also personal guards who had participated in the capture of cannons in front of the formation and talked about the artillery of the official army, saying that such cannons were beyond sharpness than what they had just seen, which made everyone feel even more excited.

"Everyone is alert, look around, don't forget everything you talk about," Zhuang Liu, who led the team, shouted in a deep voice, and everyone immediately cleaned up a lot of them.

Zhao Jin glanced at Zhuang Liu. Since he learned about the "Xinglong Society", he has paid special attention to the members inside. It has to be said that the people in the Xinglong Society are indeed more rigorous in their work, and they are meticulous in their execution of their instructions, and have the "soldier temperament" they remember.

When they were about to arrive in Hejiazhuang, Wang Zhaojing greeted him on the side of the road. Chen Han led five companies from the First Regiment to Dangshan area for training. This is also the rule of the Zhaoziying family servants' team. Each team must conduct regular armed parades to make the family servants accustomed to marching and show their strength from all aspects. Ji Xiang led the horse team to pick up horses from Guide Mansion, and it was also the junction of Guide Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, which was the westernmost point of the control range of Zhaoziying.

Since Wang Ziyang's elite privileges were cancelled, he could already feel the decline in his income and the decline in his status in Xuzhou. Wang Ziyang, who regretted it, tried every means to regain Zhao Jin's side. Among them, the increase in the proportion of strong horses among the imported livestock, and the increase in the number of strong Mongolian tins, was his method.

It is very useful to be able to ride and shoot Mongolian Ting, but it is not very meaningful to the current Zhaoziying. After all, these people cannot immediately integrate into the Zhaoziying system, and it takes a lot of effort to digest it. A good horse and a healthy horse are different. This is a valuable asset in any place in the world.

From outside the mouth to Shanxi and then to Henan, Wang Ziyang opened up all joints regardless of work. The risk was not very high, but he still had to be cautious. Currently, the horse team is under the jurisdiction of the personal guards, and Ji Xiang also has to go to pick up and escort him personally.

During these days, Zhao Jin was personally led by Zhao Jin. If it weren't for the artillery, Zhao Jin would not have left here. After Zhao Jin left, Wang Zhaojing would have been in charge.

"How many times have you said it, brothers don't have too many etiquettes, why are you coming out again?" Zhao Jin said with a wry smile when he saw Wang Zhaojing greeting him.

"Brother, there is something important." Wang Zhaojing said with a serious expression.

Zhao Jin didn't say much, but just urged his mount to enter Hejiazhuang. After entering the conference hall, Wang Zhaojing said, "The news conveyed from Yunshan Travel said that since the second half of last year, the Lu Palace has been crying to the court about the local unrest and demanding more troops to guard the government. It said that the news finally arrived in the palace, and also said that the retreating troops from Liao Town were placed in Yanzhou Prefecture to fill in the empty gang general."

After the Jianzhou Jurchens started the war against the Ming Dynasty, Liao Town continued to fail, and the Liao Town official army also continued to retreat. A large number of defeated soldiers retreated to the pass. Some people took land from Shanhaiguan to enter northern Zhili, but many also came to Dengzhou Prefecture, Shandong. It was easy to walk on the sea route between Liao Town and Shandong. There were many islands along the way, which were originally a route for food and grass supply.

After the so-called "Liao soldiers" came to Shandong, they had constant conflicts with local gentry and people. The foreigners were not welcomed, let alone these defeated soldiers, and they came here to provide local supplies and squeeze out local resources. The Liao Town official army was no longer a good military man. After all, they were military soldiers and soldiers. With a knife in their hands, they would naturally not be angry for nothing, and the conflict became more and more intense.

At the beginning, the conflict could still be vague, but as the scale became larger and larger, the government could not cover it up. The Beijing officials from Shandong began to make an appointment, and the court always had to come up with a way to appease him. However, the world was suffering from Liao pay and various taxes. Who had the strength to bear a bad reputation? The center had no choice but to sit back and watch the Liao army in Dengzhou Prefecture and the conflicts with the local area became increasingly serious.

However, the request of the Prince Lu of Yanzhou gave a way out. Since you are in a hurry, I will place my troops and protect Yanzhou Prefecture. This will not arouse any rebound from officials from Yanzhou. On the ground of Yanzhou Prefecture, the Prince Lu of Yanzhou can suppress many things. As for the suffering of the people, or how relief will be restored after the earthquake, no one will pay attention to it.

"How many soldiers and horses should be arranged in Yanzhou Prefecture?"

"The rumor is more than 8,000. The news from Jining said that the Lu Palace is very scared now, for fear that we will fight over, and the Lu King will report to the palace for help all day."

Zhao Jin frowned and said in a muffled voice: "It's almost the same as expected. Even Wei Zhongxian could not stop the communication between the vassal king and the Da Nei. The emperor said, he couldn't change anything."

"If there are 8,000 Liao soldiers in Yanzhou Prefecture, it means there are more than 10,000 official troops in the north of our Zhao camp. A large brigade of Lu and a thousand regiment training will not be enough." Wang Zhaojing said with some concern.

"There are more than 10,000 government troops not piled up in one place, nor are they placed in Yutai County. If they move, we will definitely gather troops faster, so don't worry too much." Zhao Jin said in a muffled voice, then took a photo of the coffee table beside him, and said again: "The Lu Palace is really troublesome."

Wang Zhaojing picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said worriedly: "The news sent back from Weihui, Henan, and the capital, Henan Lu Wang Mansion is also very troubled. These vassal kings cannot suffer any losses. After we were beaten back, they always wanted to find it back. This time, the Henan Wang Mansion should have made a lot of efforts to get things done in Shandong.

The beginning of the Shandong Prince Lu Mansion was the son of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and the beginning of the Henan Prince Lu Mansion was the title of the younger brother of Wanli. Although they are both of the same clan and the same clan, the distance varies greatly. Today, the Lu King and Emperor Tianqi have a good relationship. After all, they are uncles and nephews who have met before, while the Shandong Prince Lu is far away. After all, over the past few hundred years, the two families have a very different relationship with the emperor, and these two families have no friendship. The first generation of the vassal princes who were enfeoffed in the early Ming Dynasty always had some inexplicable pride and reserve for the later vassal princes, and later they were somewhat contemptuous of the previous ones, so they naturally couldn't get along well.

However, at this time, the two families had one thing in common, that is, they both suffered a great loss in the young Zhao rich man in Xuzhou, or a bloody loss. Although the cause was the greed of the subordinates' managers and even slaves, after the conflict, the two royal palaces could not swallow this breath, and the other was moved by the wealth of Xuzhou. Whether in Henan or Shandong, the wealth of Xuzhou was a place where they could reach. This wealth was so huge that it was a treasure pot that could make money continuously, which was really envious.

In addition, these two families also had personal grudges with the Zhao Ying, either their tribes were killed or their property was robbed. In the Ming Dynasty, everything belonged to the Zhu family, even their names. The vassal kings have always been unscrupulous in doing things, but in Xuzhou, they suffered such a great loss. How could they bear it?

Shandong Lu Palace went to complain and make trouble, Henan Lu Palace was also doing similar activities and even helping. After all, everything in Henan is in the dark, and Shandong was defeated by the official army. The task of relocating Liao soldiers in Yanzhou Prefecture can be said to be the joint efforts of the two families.

"It's all a disaster." Zhao Jin said gritting his teeth.

"Do you want to do it? According to what my brother said before, now is not a good time." Wang Zhaojing asked.

Zhao Jin shook his head slowly, and after a while, he said, "It's not only the time, but the royal palace is in the big city. We can't attack the city or siege the city."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhaojing was also silent. Zhao's camp can be said to be powerful in field battles, but it is not a big lack of siege. With bows and arrows and muskets, there is no way to break the tall and thick city walls. Long-term siege will attract the siege of the world, and it cannot be like a thief, driving the people to attack the city. There is really no corresponding way.

"Don't be anxious or afraid." Zhao Jin said after a while.

"I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on these two places, and the inner guards must also take action. I would like to ask my elder brother to remind Xiaoyong." At this point, Wang Zhaojing wanted to say goodbye and leave.

At this moment, there was a notice outside that Ruhui asked for a meeting, and Wang Zhaojing simply stayed.

"Master, Third Master, Geng Mancang from Yutou Town rushed over and said that there are important things to report." Ruhui said after entering the house.

Hearing this, Wang Zhaojing smiled and said to Ruhui with a joking voice: "Geng Mancang really has a good intention of being motivated and motivated. If he were in the officialdom, he would definitely be fine."

"This person was so scared that he was dying, but now he probably isn't afraid." Ruhui replied with a smile.
