Ming Dynasty Strategy Notes [Transmigration Book]

Since he was still a middle-level cadre in the army, Xia Ziling got the news that Lan Yan had been arrested by Lan Yu at noon.Xia Ziling immediately came to Zhu Chun's tent—

"My lord, Lan Yan has been arrested, what should I do?"

"..." Zhu Chun said coldly, "What does it have to do with you when he was arrested?"

"..." In fact, it really has nothing to do with me, it's clearly related to you, my lord!But Xia Ziling hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I think Lan Yan was wronged in this matter."

"Whether he is wronged or not, his uncle can do it, why worry about it!" Lan Yu's move was just to show his attitude to those Mongolian tribes, and it didn't necessarily mean that he would really punish Lan Yan.

"But...it's not good for him to be locked up like this." What Xia Ziling was worried about was that it didn't matter if Lan Yu handled it like this, but if she was locked up for a long time and attracted attention, it would be troublesome if Lan Yan's daughter was exposed.

If something goes wrong with this woman who will be inextricably linked with Zhu Chun, Lan Yu's father will not be able to bear it.Whether it's the historical knowledge that Xia Ziling has mastered, or the two letters between Zhu Chun and Lan Yu before, it shows that Lan Yu and Zhu Chun are in a relationship of both prosperity and loss.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to ignore Lan Yan and Lan Yu's future.However, Zhu Chun is still unaware of the person involved.Xia Ziling felt that he was going further and further down the road where the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry, but he just couldn't sit back and watch.

On the other hand, Zhu Chun didn't know the twists and turns in Xia Ziling's heart.Lan Yan had only been locked up for a short while, and he came to him in a hurry, and said something like "It's not good to be locked up", obviously because he felt sorry for that boy with a pretty face!

Thinking of this, Zhu Chun didn't even vent his anger. He sat down on the couch and said coldly, "Go out, I'm going to take a lunch break!"

Well, let you pull it, wait for you to know Lan Yan's true identity and see who is more anxious!Xia Ziling was too lazy to put his hot face on the cold ass of the king of Shu here, and then he also left.

But after all, it was hard for him to just sit idly by, so after struggling in the tent for a while, Xia Ziling went around to Mu Sheng again.

"Jing Mao, can you accompany me to the place where the rations are stored?" In fact, given his current position in the army, if he went to check by himself, the soldiers in charge of the rations might not agree, but after all he was not well-known and wanted to Swiping the face card is still not enough. He has exceeded his authority to intervene in this matter. It is quite troublesome to explain, so it is better to ask Mu Sheng to go with him.

"You want to meddle in your own business again?" Because of the soldier's poisoning and diarrhea, the army had to stay in Daning for a few more days, and he had a premonition just now that Xia Ziling might not be able to sit still again.

"It's really not meddling in other people's business." Alas, Xia Ziling really didn't know who to tell about the pain in his heart.

"Okay." Mu Sheng didn't ask much, put on a cloak and went out with Xia Ziling.

The two came to the place where the army rations were stored. Due to Lan Yu's order, the number of soldiers guarding today was twice as large as before.However, by coincidence, they met Wang Geng there.

"Master Wang." Mu Sheng and Wang Geng were old acquaintances, so they bowed to each other.

"Master Mu, why are you here?" Mu Sheng's official status is higher than Wang Geng's, so even though Wang Geng is much older, he is quite respectful to Mu Sheng.

"I just heard about the poisoning of soldiers in the army. I was a little worried, so I came over to have a look."

Speaking of this, Wang Geng also had a bitter face.In the Ming Dynasty, there was no official position dedicated to the management of grain and grass. When the army went to war, the grain and grass were generally directly managed by the Ministry of Households.This expedition of 15 troops was not a trivial matter, and the Ministry of Household Affairs did not dare to neglect it, and sent Wang Geng, the third-rank servant, to accompany him.In addition to the military personnel of the household department, due to the large number of manpower required each time, the household department officials are not good enough, so they often recruit some personnel temporarily, and Lan Yan is one of these temporary recruits to accompany the army.

Before Lan Yu handed Lan Yan to her side, she just asked Wang Geng to watch and let him help out casually.The people in the household department are not as young and strong as the soldiers in the army. Most of them are old and do not want to make progress, and temporary recruits are not very easy to use. In the past, various military rations were often piled up together.After Lan Yan arrived, he put all the things into different categories. When distributing food during the march, he also distributed rice that was prone to mildew and moisture first, and then distributed millet and other grains, and dried biscuits to store up in case he went deep into the enemy's hinterland in the future, and the supply of food and grass was insufficient. used when.

This young man is smart and willing to work. After several months of observation, Wang Geng has become more and more appreciative of Lan Yan, and gradually entrusted him with the management of food distribution for the army, and he has always done a good job.

Wang Geng was thinking about waiting for the class teacher to return to Beijing, to invite the minister, and transfer him to the household department to keep him. He didn't want to blame him for what happened today.Could it be that Lan Yu was afraid that if his attitude was not strict, others would think he was favoritism?

However, Wang Geng still said to Mu Sheng at the moment: "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for your concern. I am going to check the situation of the military rations as well."

So, Wang Geng brought the two nosy people to the place where the military rations were stored.During the march, since the camp was about to be pulled out in a few days, hundreds of bags of military rations were mostly placed on the carts and were not unloaded.

Wang Geng walked to a cart and said, "The military rations distributed yesterday were taken from it."

Wang Geng tore open several pockets.Rice is packed directly in sacks, while jerky is wrapped in oiled paper and put into sacks.

"To be honest, these military rations are all pre-packed, and the possibility of problems is very small. I also asked the soldiers guarding yesterday, and there was no suspicious person waiting in or out. Besides, so much military rations were distributed yesterday, why did something happen? Only a few hundred people."

Wang Geng's words were approved by Mu Sheng and Xia Ziling.The army rations are neatly stored, so it is really unlikely that there will be any problems.So... Could it be that someone deliberately poisoned it?

After leaving the place where the army rations were stored, Xia Ziling asked, "Are all the soldiers who were poisoned yesterday under the tent of King Yan?"

Mu Sheng replied, "I heard that's true."

"Then I don't know what suspicious place they went to yesterday?"

Mu Sheng said: "I don't know about that. In the current situation you and I are in, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to intervene more."

Xia Ziling nodded.This is the truth. Although the King of Yan and the King of Shu are brothers, they are also opponents in secret contests during this trip. He and Mu Sheng, in the name of King Shu's confidants, went to investigate the situation of the soldiers under the King of Yan's tent. I am afraid it will attract criticism. .But... just leaving Lan Yan alone, he was a little worried.

Just because he can't go doesn't mean he doesn't care about it.That night, Xia Ziling approached Wang Si and told him to wait for the opportunity to get close to the soldiers under King Yan's tent to find out about the food poisoning.

Wang Siben was a northerner who moved south. He is a bold man with countless brothers in the army. The next day, he really brought a piece of news——

The soldiers who were poisoned in King Yan's army all belonged to a deputy Qianhu. It is said that that night, the Mongols from Wengniute's tribe came to look for the deputy Qianhu, and there were some disputes between the two sides.

Xia Ziling was taken aback, wondering how Lan Yu's investigation was going?This news seems to point the clue to Weng Niu's special department.So... what would Sapphire do if the Mongols really poisoned her?If it is reported according to the facts, it is inevitable that the Wengniute tribe and even the entire Mongols in Daning will tear their faces apart. The two sides will fight, not to mention delaying the formation of the army. Ethnic policy does not match.

If you want to make big things smaller, Lan Yu has locked Lan Yan up, so you can't let him take the blame, right?Even if he guessed wrong, Lan Yan is not Lan Yan, but really Lan Yu's nephew, I am afraid that Lan Yu will not be able to "destroy relatives righteously".

It feels like this is getting more and more complicated.But even though it was a bit tricky, Xia Ziling took Wang Si to the Wengniu Te Department in the evening of the second day in the spirit of taking care of it to the end.

"Boss, is it really okay for us to go there alone?"

"You have made some progress, and you have learned to use four-letter words. But we clearly did not ride a horse, but walked over."

Wang Si: "..." Is this the point?In fact, he was not afraid of death, but he felt that if there was a conflict, it would be difficult to rescue Xia Ziling with his own strength.

Xia Ziling looked at Wang Si's generous expression on his death, a little amused, "Okay, we didn't go to fight, but to ask about the situation. If we bring a large group of people, it will make people more suspicious."

Since Xia Ziling said so, Wang Si had no choice but to obediently follow him to the Wengniute Department.

"I am Xia Ziling, who works under the right forward battalion of the forward battalion of the army of conquests. I am here to ask you to see the leader of your department, Azashili." Before arriving, Xia Ziling inquired in advance. Twenty years old, Azashri had just inherited his father's title.

The Mongols' Chinese language is not good at all, and Xia Ziling spoke the series of titles very quickly. The guards at the gate of the tribe heard only half of it, and they didn't figure out what his background was.

"Your name is Xia?"

"Correct."

Well, grasping the key point of the words, the guards came to the big tent and reported to Azashili: "The Ming army has a man surnamed Xia, and he wants to see the leader."

"..." Azashili was tall and burly, with a huge silver earring dangling on his left ear. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he yelled, "How many are here? What are their official titles?"

"Just two people. The subordinates didn't hear clearly. It's a very long title, and the writing is weak. I guess the official position is not low."

"Get out!" At the age of 20, Mongolian men are just full of blood. Azashili just sent away a group of people from the Ming army who came to investigate in the afternoon, and now another group is coming. It's so endless, it's really deceiving !

"Leader..." The subordinate hesitated a little. The old leader of the Wengniu Te Department, that is, Azashili's father, died in the battle against the Ming army in the last battle. Although Azashili was a famous warrior in Liaodong , but now the various tribes are fighting on their own, with the strength of their Wengniute tribe alone, it is not enough for the Ming army.

The Ming army didn't want to start a fight, but just came to ask about the situation. If he is a high-ranking official, he might stir up trouble if he blows away.

Seeing that his subordinate hesitated to leave, Azashili knew what he was worried about.Not long after he took over the tribe, everyone still dissatisfied with him. If his father was alive, there would be no room for his subordinates to comment on what orders he gave.

But... just now, he was acting out of passion, he calmed down for a few seconds, and he really realized that blowing away was not a good idea.

So Azashri changed his words: "Let them in."
