"Bai Minghe told me three battles. One is that soldiers have to fight, and not fighting is a death penalty. The other is that they encounter a place of death, and not fighting is also a death penalty, so they fight to death. The third is that they fight for the generals who lead the army. For example, Yue Fei in ancient times, the Yue family army was so strong that the court feared him." Yu Qian talked about a topic he had discussed with Bai Minghe.

Li Bing also said: "Before I left the capital, Bai Minghe told me that if you want soldiers to be well managed and make soldiers loyal and polite, it is actually not difficult to do so. Just let the soldiers read poetry and books well."

Looking at Li Bing, Yu Qian understood that this might have been a joke before.

But now it seems that this idea is true.

"So, how high will this cost be?" Yu Qian suddenly felt that it was not easy to do anything without money.

However, Li Bing did not mention the silver: "Bai Minghe once said that there is an unlimited number of scholars, as long as they meet the standards, it is enough. Moreover, in addition to scholars, a lower-level exam is added, called Mengsheng. He has completed the primary school education, but has not yet taken the scholar exam."

"Feable?" Yu Qian asked back.

Li Bing nodded seriously: "This time in the Battle of Monan, I agreed with the three governors that those who can read and write military newspapers can be promoted to the ranks. In other words, those who are above the eighth rank can write military newspapers at least. Those who reach the seventh rank must be able to write military cases. A hundred households have read at least one military book and can use it."

"What about the court?" Yu Qian said in his heart that this investment is quite large, and he doesn't know how much it takes just books and paper.

"Mr. Hu and Mr. Chen both expressed their support, but the limit is currently in Datong and Xuanfu. As for the required books and papers, they are preparing to apply to the Ministry of War. This is not..." Li Bing shook the envelope in his hand: "Five hundred thousand taels of silver. If this silver is only used for rewards, the soldiers will go north to a hundred miles."

"No. No!" Yu Qian waved his hand quickly: "It is already an excellent record to win the three cities, defend it! The three cities dock each other, and with the support from Xuanda and the two places, they can be defended."

Li Bing also said, "Although I don't know how to fight, I know that the Ming Dynasty had several times in this battle, with the enemy's troops equal to the enemy's forces, and even less than the enemy twice. However, they returned with all the great victory without exception, with almost no losses and morale of the army available."

Yu Qian waved his hand: "Not only the morale of the army, but also the huge rewards of Baiming cranes are first, and then there are iron, skin, medicinal materials, etc. The weapons are better and the food and grass are sufficient. The war is not only soldiers, but also national strength. Three years ago, if Baiming cranes had piled up these supplies here, there would be no change in Tumu Fort."

"Not necessarily, there is still Wang Zhenzhi..."

When talking about Wang Zhen, Li Bing gritted his teeth.

"I'm here for only two days. I went south under the order, and Mr. Hu was waiting for me in Tianjin Wei and went south to Guangdong together. The governor of the East Factory Xing'an has arrived in Guangdong. There is a case there, and no details were announced. It's just that I went to Guangdong with Mr. Hu. It's another matter."

Yu Qian told Li Bing about his itinerary.

After Li Bing asked, Yu Qian said the truth: "I just mentioned that the origin of the gold mine of Baiminghe is actually even more serious than this. Baiminghe has not used his sword and has already controlled it. He even made several second-rank third-rank and third-rank lower-rank official positions demoted to fourth-rank fifth-rank low-rank official positions, and went to Little Luzon to be a small official, but his official title is small. However, his power is not low, and he is still the governor and governor. Baiminghe has already regarded Luzon as his own garden. The supplies brought back from Little Luzon every day are 50,000 stones a day."

"Fifty thousand stones!" But Li Bing was shocked.

"This is not counting rice, rice is calculated separately. This is a material other than rice." Yu Qian said this and smiled helplessly: "I'm wrong. There are only 50,000 stones per day in Fuzhou Port. Guangdong heard that there are three ports, and how many are there is still an unknown number. Bai Minghe is building a new port again, and it seems that he thinks the wharf is too small."

hiss……

Li Bing took a breath and said to himself that Bai Minghe was just a small official from the sixth rank, but he was so generous.

"Long live the special order, even the chief minister doesn't know what the content of the imperial edict is. This is the imperial edict for Bai Minghe. Mr. Chen and Mr. Hu guessed that it might be authorization for Bai Minghe to act cheaply. Bai Minghe was so arrogant that he was going to destroy Japan, and Long live the special edict!"

After hearing what Yu Qian said, Li Bing was puzzled: "Water is a country that Taizu did not seek for fifteenth conquest."

"The white-named He is more reasonable. He said that the King of Japanese calls himself the Emperor and did not take the Emperor of Ming Dynasty seriously. Not extorting does not mean not teaching a lesson. Of course, if they resist, then..." Yu Qian shook his head with a wry smile.

He couldn't stop this at the moment because the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was determined to support Bai Minghe.

Li Bing also understood why Yu Qian and Hu Yi went to Guangdong in person. They were really afraid that the White-Famous Crane would be lawless and no one could control it.

Yu Qian said again: "I will hand over Datong and Xuanfu to you, and the Baiminghe will continue to transport supplies."

"Why not go to the school ground?" Li Bing asked Yu Qian, who nodded: "It's just right, it's okay to go and have a look."

When Yu Qian and Li Bing arrived at the schoolyard, most of the schoolyard here was like a huge sand table, making several cities with wood, with flags on it, and the name of the city was written on it. Yang Jun's whip was falling on a fourth-rank ginseng general, but the ginseng general did not hide and was whipped a few times.

"Another question, what formation should be used to intercept the rescue cavalry?"

The ginseng general was half kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely. It was not pain, but anxious. He thought his answer was already outstanding, but he was whipped by Yang Jun a few times. He would continue to think about it again, and he could not think of a better way for the moment.

"You are the back team!" Yang Jun made a choice. When he was about to select another general, the general shouted loudly: "Push the grain chariot to the front and form a chariot formation. Then the spearmen guarded the grain chariot, and the crossbowmen were responsible for shooting the horses. When the enemy rushed to a hundred steps, the fire chief shots and shot the horses first. If the enemy rushed to the front, rush to the front..." The general was not hesitant, but made up his mind and shouted: "Burn the grain chariot with tinder oil to stop the enemy. The spearmen stabbed the horses, and the sword and shield went forward again, suppress the enemy's sharpness, and the cavalry came out again."

Yang Jun nodded: "Why didn't you make such a choice just now?"

"Governor, when will I eat enough food in Datong? Anyone knows that it is better to block the enemy than to resist horses. Set fire to chariots. Even if he has 10,000 cavalry, I can still keep half of him in one battle."

"Yes. Governor. There are not enough horses. Whoever has the heart to stab a horse? If you can catch a horse alive, there will be one more cavalry!" said another general.

Yu Qian stepped forward at this time: "Burning grain and grass is a good tactic. Grain and grass can be prepared again, but people cannot be resurrected after death. Bai Minghe gave a memorial to Long Live in Guangdong. He prepared another two million stones of rice, and was entrusted to the Nanjing Navy of Wei to help transport it to the capital. Only by protecting his life can he enjoy military merits."

Yu Qian was really moved. These are generals, not soldiers.

There were also some generals who drank soldiers and blood in the Ming Dynasty, but there were more good generals who loved soldiers like their children and shared the joys and sorrows.

In order for more people to survive, food is what they must guarantee.

As for the two million stones, it was purely what Yu Qian said himself. There was no such memorial at all, but he was confident that Bai Minghe would take out the two million stones of rice, or even more.

"Master Yu!" The general whispered, and all the generals and schoolmen around him surrounded him.

Yu Qian was happy on one side, but helpless on the other side. Of course, there was also a feeling that he was getting more and more hated by Baiminghe, because Baiminghe's silver bullet tactics were becoming more and more popular. At this time, he had to use Baiminghe's silver bullet to stimulate the morale of these generals and schoolmen.

A letter was handed over to Yang Jun. The words Yang Jun were written on it.

You should know that in the Ming Dynasty, only the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty could be written with red pen. This is called Zhu Ci, and it is impossible for others to use it.

Yang Jun opened it and was really surprised. Then he circulated the paper to the generals and schools. No one suspected that this paper could not be exchanged for 100,000 taels of silver. What is the token of Bai Minghe? The credit value of Bai Minghe is at least 100,000 taels in the hearts of these generals.

"Why attack Xicheng first?" Yu Qian asked a general at this time.

The three cities here are the ancient Sujiang City. They are built by Gongsun Ao during the Han Dynasty, also called the Dongcheng. Then they are approximately in Baotou, which is the Zhongcheng. A hundred miles further west is the Xicheng. The three cities are also collectively called Sujiang City, which is the glorious record of the Han Dynasty against the Huns.

"Sir, fight Dongcheng first. If Zhongcheng sends troops to help, we will stop it in the field with military formations to weaken the enemy's combat power. More importantly, after taking Dongcheng first, Zhongcheng is the largest, and it will be difficult for them to escape. They will surround and take Zhongcheng in one fell swoop. It is not our greed, whether it is soldiers or herders. Let them go back, and then it will be the combat power of the Wats, which will weaken the entire Wats. This winter, I'm afraid they won't have time to go south."

All the generals laughed, they were just in a hurry.

Before Wasan planned to go south to rob, take these three cities first, and Xuanda would face the enemy directly.

"Before August 15th, take down Xicheng. The battle ends before September. If the thorns go south in October, they will look good." Xu Gui's voice came from behind. Yu Qian made only one move, and the same envelope was handed over to Xu Gui. "This money is not all for you to give you a reward. Part of it is Bai Minghe who sponsors the two places of Xuanda, and the children of military households studying and taking the exam for their fame."

The money has been given, but Yu Qian said that he can still make the decision no matter how he uses it.

Another 100,000 taels, there was already a sound of saliva on the school ground.

Yu Qian took out two more envelopes and shook them in the air: "Take the three cities, I will ask you for rewards again."

"Capture the three cities!" The school court was filled with cheers, and morale was indeed at its peak.

Yu Qian understood that such morale will not be able to face such troops in the next month. If there is such morale during the Tumu Fort Incident, 30,000 cavalry will be guaranteed that none of them will be able to return.

It’s just a wonder, the incompetent greedy person, the eunuch Wang Zhen and others, it’s too cheap to kill him with one blow.

Yu Qian complained secretly, just for Bai Minghe. He hated Bai Minghe's style, but he had to use it. The battle is imminent, and Yu Qian dared not have any surprises. Morale is the first thing to do. Once morale is weak, if it loses, the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, the Wassar people didn't expect the Ming Dynasty to take the initiative to attack.

In this battle, we will first collect some interest from Tumu Fort. (To be continued...)

ps: I quickly sent to bed and continued the exam after dawn.

I really doubt that I was crazy at the beginning.
Chapter completed!
