Chapter 355 Action
Thank you very much for your reward!
"Zhonglian, Shanglin Village has started to make firearms?"
"yes!"
"I'm still in Jinyang Academy?"
"Yes! The second prince was sent by the prefect Sun to protect him, but in fact he restricted the second prince's actions and prevented him from leaving Jinyang Mansion."
A smile appeared on Luo Qing's face. He naturally knew that Sun Jixian was afraid that something would happen to Luo Xin. He could imagine the depression on his face. But thinking about it, he felt funny in his heart.
"Who made firearms in Shanglin Village like this?"
"They are all from the mansion, and no one knows. The little man and Dazhu make gunpowder, and the other objects are made by the mansion. The last step of the charge is only for me and Dazhu."
Luo Qing nodded, and he also knew that the most important part of the firearm was the production of gunpowder. Without the black gunpowder made by the younger brother, it would lose its power.
"Okay, go back and tell me that I will send someone to you then."
"Yes, the eldest son, that villain is back."
"Well, I won't keep you either. Let me go, I'll give you it."
Time passed by a month, and Mongolian cavalry still robbed the villages in the border from time to time, which left the Ming border army with no choice. It was either that the Ming border army would not go out to find the Mongolian cavalry, but since the defeat of Altan Khan, the Ming border army's spirit also rose. Not only Ma Fang, but also the generals of other important border towns were holding their anger, wanting to kill a few Mongolian soldiers and not let Ma Fang be more beautiful than before.
It seemed that overnight, these border soldiers were no longer afraid of Mongolian soldiers. Altan Khan's failure, especially his arm, made the Mongolian soldiers invincible image shatter. Altan Khan's image is now like a dog falling into the water in the heart of the border soldiers.
However, the mobility of the Mongolian cavalry is too strong. They come and go like the wind. If they see a small group of Daming border troops, they will attack the Ming border troops. If they encounter a large group of Daming border troops, they will escape like the wind, which will cause great headaches for the Ming border troops. At the same time, this situation has made Ma Fang more determined and decided to send a cavalry deep into the grassland, plunder Mongolia like the Mongols attack the Ming Dynasty, and use his spear to attack his shield.
There were frequent wars outside, but it was peaceful in Jinyang Academy. Luo Xin locked himself in the Academy every day, without taking a step forward in the Academy, and talked with friends in the room all day long. When there was no one, he began to organize the information brought back by Lu Daqing from Yanglin County and began to write the second volume of "The Combination of Confucius and Mencius".
Since Guo Yi met Luo Xin, he never saw Luo Xin again. Moreover, the imperial decree had already been delivered. Gongsun Lie was promoted to Baihu and became the leader of more than 20 people. Even Xiang Donglin and three others were promoted to the chief of the service, which made Guo Yi and others very envious. They were even more looking forward to seeing Luo Xin again, but Luo Xin seemed to be devoted to preparing for the provincial examination and never took a step forward in the school.
As for the two Sun Jixian's personal soldiers, they still took turns to go to the gate of the school to monitor every day. But they were no longer as focused as before. They often either lowered their heads and thought about their worries or watched the fun around them. I'm afraid that even Luo Xin walked out of the gate of the school to watch. They might not be able to see it.
This day.
Luo Xin was reading a book in the room when he saw Lu Daqing walking in from outside, and lowered his voice and said:
"My father is here."
Luo Xin looked up and saw Lu Zhonglian standing at the door. His eyes lit up and said, "It's started?"
"Yeah!" Lu Zhonglian said excitedly, "The eldest son has sent someone to come, saying that he was waiting for us in the valley we once hid next to Tu'er Ridge. Let Gao Wu lead some people to wait for Master outside Jinyang Mansion."
"Okay! Let's go now!"
In the dense forest next to the Yinlong River.
Zhao Yong sat on the grass, biting a grass in his mouth. From time to time, he looked out of the dense forest. This time, Ma Fang finally made up his mind to send a cavalry to the grassland. In fact, Ma Fang also knew in his heart that only in this way could Altan Khan be scrupled and no longer dare to easily send Mongolian cavalry to attack the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, if the Mongolian cavalry would plunder the border of the Ming Dynasty, his little contribution would be gradually wiped out.
He believed that everything that happened at the border would be placed on the desk of the Jinyiwei in Jiajing. If this situation could not be curbed, Emperor Jiajing's patience would be worn out, and the status he had finally won would be in danger.
He had never thought of this plan before. Now that Luo Xin proposed it, his heart was as it was as if there were a hundred cats scratching it. Ma Fang was worthy of being a madman. If it weren't for his high status, he would have wanted to personally lead a cavalry into the grassland and live a plea to Huo Qubing. Moreover, in history, Ma Fang did send cavalry into the grassland to burn the Mongol ranch, but because of Luo Xin's arrival, he advanced this action.
Luo Qing must be involved in this matter, otherwise, once it succeeds, Luo Xin knows that there is no contribution to Luo Qing, that is offending Luo Xin. As for sending Luo Qing to the depths of the grassland, if he dies in the grassland, it is fate, and Ma Fang cannot be blamed.
However, in Ma Fang's heart, he still distrusts Luo Qing in Luo Qing's character. He did not trust Luo Qing's age, but did not trust Luo Qing's age. After all, Luo Qing was only sixteen years old, and such a dangerous action could not be placed on Luo Qing's shoulders.
You should know that this operation, Ma Fang was planning to send 2,000 people. These two thousand people were carefully selected by Ma Fang. It can be said that they were the most elite cavalry under Ma Fang. If these two thousand people died in the grassland, Ma Fang's strength would be greatly reduced, and this crime would probably be used by others. There were many people in the court who were staring at him, and there were also many people who were staring at his position.
Therefore, even if this action cannot be won, it cannot lose too much. This requires an older and calm general, and Ma Fang finally chose Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong was the orthodox leader of this cavalry, and Luo Xin was the deputy commander. In a month night, he quietly left Xuanfu and sneaked into the north.
After crossing the Yinlong River, it was actually close to the edge of the grassland. When we walked forward, we entered the grassland. At this moment, Luo Qing proposed to lead some of the cavalry to enter the grassland to investigate first. Zhao Yong naturally did not object to Luo Qing's proposal, but just told Luo Qing not to start a war with the Mongolian soldiers easily. This operation was mainly based on exploration. After Luo Qing came back, everyone would discuss it before taking action.
Luo Qing naturally agreed and then led two hundred cavalry to gallop towards the grassland. These two hundred cavalry were his direct line. After Luo Qing left the Yinlong River, he crossed the river upstream and headed straight for Tu'er Ridge, then hid, and sent twenty cavalry, led by Gao Wu to Shanglin Village.
