More than a hundred miles north of Jizhou Great Wall, the Jianlu cavalry began to bury pots and cook rice. The atmosphere was very solemn. Apart from the occasional sniff sound from horses and the scraping sound from the connection between the soldiers' armor, the entire camp was silent.

In addition to strict military discipline, this phenomenon is also caused by everyone.          This long-distance raid is a gamble. If you cannot bring back enough seizures, then this time you will be a huge loss.

Without food, there will be no population, so don’t think about the dream of entering the Central Plains.

In a temporary tent, a pigtail Jurchen, who was only about thirty years old, was wearing a fur robe with gold silk.

The servant next to him was holding an oil lamp, while the Jurchen was leaning over to check the map.

This person is naturally the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, Huang Taiji.

Around Huang Taiji, more than a dozen fur, deer boots, and others held their breath and were quietly waiting for his orders.

"The area around Xifengkou is full of peaks and rugged roads. Whether it is Tiemen Pass in the east, Panjiakou, Longjing Pass in the west, etc., they are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to seize it, you must attack it.

Sun Chengzong is the number one enemy of our Great Jin Kingdom. He not only built the Liaoxi Corridor like an iron wall, but it is said that he also began to strengthen the defense of Xifengkou's front line early.

However, the Ming army was in a deteriorating military equipment. According to the news of the Shanxi merchants, the Ming emperor checked the number of troops, so many rebellions were caused here, and the defense on the border town should be very weak.

Unfortunately, Shanxi merchants are being hit hard now, and we have not received favorable news for a long time. The reprimands of Ming merchants need to be carried out as soon as possible." Huang Taiji said while looking at the map.

Da Beile Daishan agreed after hearing this: "Ming Dynasty's arms are sharp, but their bureaucratic corruption has become a trend, which is very bad for the soldiers. All the warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom obey the orders of the Great Khan. This is our advantage.

This time, the Khan provoked the conflict between Goryeo and Pidao, and restrained Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town. He took a surprise troops to detour Mongolia, and we will surely win a great victory!"

Huang Taiji looked happy when he heard this. As long as this battle was successful, his position of sweating could be stable and he could also take the opportunity to get rid of several thoughtful Beile.

With a high spirit, he immediately began to deploy a strategic offensive route.

Each of the four beiles, Yuetou, Jirhal, Abatai, and Ajige, selected ten soldiers of each Niuluo, and then selected the strong ones from the Mongolian Korqin Beal soldiers, Chahar, Khalkha Mongol Beal soldiers, and the Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers.

Abatai and Azig led the left-wing troops forward, and Yuetou and Jirgalang led the right-wing troops forward.

After arriving at Liuhe, the troops were divided into three routes, with the left wing advancing towards Longjing Pass and Hongshan Pass, and the right wing advancing towards Da'ankou.

Huang Taiji ordered the left wing to attack Longjing Pass and personally led his headquarters to attack Xifengkou.

...

That night, Li Guo tightened his clothes and felt warmer. He tried hard to look into the distance, but it was still pitch black.

"Uncle, is this accurate? Will there really be a Tartars going to overcome the barrier? I have never seen the Jurchens. I heard that they have a pig tail on their heads. Do you think it is true?" Li Guo said to Li Zicheng next to him.

Li Zicheng, who is still called Li Hongji, heard his nephew Li Guo's words and scolded him: "This is not what you should consider. We are actually the defenders of Longjing Pass now, so we should always be vigilant.

Since the general has given the order, there will definitely be Tartars coming. It’s just a matter of time and we can’t relax.”

Li Guo smacked his lips and said, "Oh, uncle, you can be promoted to President of the Communist Party so quickly! This ideological awareness is high."

"It turns out that we can't have enough food. The emperor simplified the post station and thought we would be unemployed, but he didn't expect to arrange military positions for him.

Gu Ju

The treatment of military households in the Ming Dynasty was not very good, but after the reform of the Censor Lu, we could get two taels of silver every month.

Longjing Pass is close to Xinglong, where you have everything, and you don’t have to worry about food and drink.

Now we are in Xinglong'an. When I renew my room, I will find you a wife. We should be grateful for our lives." Li Zicheng said instructing his nephew.

Li Guo shook his head and said, "I don't get married so early. I want to become a general and then marry the daughter of a wealthy family in the south!"

"Haha! OK, ambitious! Then you should watch it well and strive to make great contributions!" Li Zicheng said with a smile.

In May of the first year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian ordered the simplification of the post station.

The "simplification" mentioned here does not mean reduction, but "exquisite" and "simplicity".

The function of the post station has been specially used for sending letters, and no longer welcomes guests or postmen along the way.

A hotel is opened next to the inn, which is undertaken by the Huangxia Chamber of Commerce and is subject to commercial management.

The postman will give a silver banknote subsidy according to the distance. They will decide whether they should rest in the hotel, what kind of room to live in, and what kind of food to eat.

Eliminate illegal officials and their families to occupy public resources and make correspondence faster.

The station accepts private letters or items to work, but it is responsible for the "Longxing Express" jointly established by cooperation with the Huangxia Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, with the help of the country's station resources and investing a large amount of silver banknotes, the first logistics enterprise covering the whole country of the Ming Dynasty was born.

Various express delivery services directly squeeze out all the original escort agencies and other industries.

Of course, the Huangxia Chamber of Commerce will not eat alone, but instead let those escort agencies join the Chamber of Commerce and form a joint organization, which will also build a logistics network quickly to the greatest extent.

However, there are still layoffs in this process.

These people have been properly resettled, either by dividing land or finding other jobs, such as joining the Railway Chamber of Commerce to build railways, etc. Anyway, they will not be fired directly.

Li Zicheng got a job and received a "resettlement silver" to repay Ai Juren's debt.

Soon, he broke into his wife Han Jin'er and committed adultery with Gai Hu. He wanted to kill him quickly, but he thought that he would be transferred to the government army immediately and had a bright future. He did not use any action, but reported it to the government office.

At this time, Shaanxi was already under Sun Chuanting's governance and political stability. Li Zicheng captured the robbery and captured it, so naturally he sentenced the two to crimes.

Li Zicheng left Mizhi sadly and was placed in the Shuntian Prefecture border town with his nephew Li Guo.

When they came, Lu Xiangsheng had completed the inspection of the Jizhou official army, Mao Yuanyi and others had already taken office, and the entire border army governance was completely renewed.

After receiving a real two-liang salary in the first month, Li Zicheng decided to do his job well and strive for a promotion and salary increase.

He soon gained the appreciation of Cao Bianjiao for his hard work and outstanding talent in using new-style muskets. He is now promoted to the chief inspector and inspect Longjing Pass.

Nowadays, there are not many loyal to the Ming Empire than him.
