"My lord!"
On the first day of the first month of the fifty-first year of Kangxi, when Mu Yong stood at the door and shouted anxiously, Zhu Bomu was eating in the room, while Li Sujun was sitting at the side, eating carefully, afraid of disturbing Zhu Bomu.
"Come in!" Hearing Mu Yong's voice, Zhu Bomu put down his bowl and chopsticks. Mu Yong, who was outside the door, also strode in and took a look at Li Sujun.
" You can leave first…" Seeing Mu Yong glance at Li Sujun's actions, Zhu Bomu invited Li Sujun to leave, and Li Sujun also obediently left.
After Li Sujun left the room, Zhu Bomu turned his gaze to Mu Yong.""If you haven't eaten, sit down and talk while eating.”
“嘚!”Hearing Zhu Bomu's words, Mu Yong did not stand on ceremony. He directly called for someone to serve him a pair of chopsticks and a piece of pork cultivated by the livestock house.
"My lord, Yang Mubo and his son are incredible. They took down Guang Xi Province the day before yesterday. I heard that he captured a lot of people this time, bringing back more than 30,000 people. When we returned, we saw that his army had expanded to nearly 30,000.”
Mu Yong said as he ate. Zhu Bomu, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head after hearing his words."Yang Mubo is still walking the old path left behind by the Ming Dynasty chieftain.”
The so-called Ming Dynasty chieftain's old way was a method of leading troops that the Ming Dynasty chieftain learned from the Ming Dynasty border generals.
The advantage of nurturing a small number of elite family soldiers and supporting the weak guard soldiers was that once they were pulled out, the momentum of tens of thousands of people was extremely terrifying.
However, the disadvantage was that once they really started fighting, as long as the family soldiers failed to charge the needles, or if the family soldiers suffered heavy casualties, the follow-up soldiers would immediately be defeated.
However, it could not be said that this method of leading troops was not good. After all, Nurhachi's godfather, Li Chengliang, and Li Chengliang's son, Li Rusong, remembered that most of the generals of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty used this method of leading troops.
Because the family soldiers were treated well and were not afraid of death, they could always perform wonders once they charged into the formation. After all, not everyone could be treated equally like the Qi Family's Army and the white pole soldiers.
The result of treating everyone equally was that you had fewer subordinates and lower combat strength. You were very powerful in battle, but when you were not fighting, you would not be able to scare people.
Moreover, this method of leading troops was no longer suitable for the present, because the Little Ice Age was slowly declining, and the production of food was getting higher and higher. If it was Zhu Bomu, then the more elite troops, the better.
However, it seemed that the poor southern Yunnan could not support so many troops, so Zhu Bomu hesitated for a while before saying,""Mu Yong, help Yang Mubo and the others train their soldiers. It would be best to reduce the thirty thousand soldiers to ten thousand elites!”
" My lord, this..." Mu Yong was a little unhappy. After all, Yang Mubo and the others were only temporarily on the same side as him. If this guy rebelled one day, and he was not by Zhu Bomu's side, it was inevitable that something unexpected would happen.
"Don't worry. Yang Mubo may be ruthless, but he's not stupid. We're the only ones in the Qing Dynasty who can bring him a large number of warhorses and armaments at any time.”
Seeing Mu Yong's reason, Zhu Bomu explained. Mu Yong couldn't stand Zhu Bomu's words, so he cupped his fists and said,""If that's the case, I'll wait for Yang Mubo and the others to order the weapons. I'll lure Yang Tian into inviting me over.”
"That's for the best." After saying that, Zhu Bomu lowered his head and ate a mouthful of food. Then, he raised his head and said,""Did Li Dao send a letter eagle back?”
The messenger eagle was a type of eagle bred in the barn. It could fly hundreds of miles in one breath. Moreover, it flew so high that the Qing soldiers could not find it. Therefore, it became the method used by Zhu Bomu and the others to communicate over long distances.
Hearing Zhu Bomu mention Li Dao, Mu Yong also smiled and said,""That Li Dao guy's methods are indeed not bad. He just sent a letter this morning saying that he has already negotiated with the thirteen chieftains in southern Guizhou.”
"Next, he will head to the north of Guizhou, the southeast of Ba Shu, and Liangshan. I believe he will be back in May.”
Halfway through his sentence, Mu Yong suddenly laughed and said,""Speaking of which, we still have to thank Yang Mubo.”
"Oh? What do you mean?" Zhu Bomu put down his bowl and chopsticks curiously, while Mu Yong explained,""In fact, the news of Yang Mubo has already come out.”
"Even though we sealed the Peaceful Halls, Guangnan Prefecture and Guangxi Prefecture were not. However, Governor Yun Gui did not have the time to deal with him.”
"Now, I heard that the Mongolians of Qinghai-Tibet have gathered 30,000 cavalry and are preparing to march east into the Bashu Valley. The governor of Bashu, Nian Gengyao, and the governor of Yungui are preparing for war.”
"Wait! You mean Nian Gengyao?" Hearing that Nian Gengyao was the governor of Ba Shu, Zhu Bomu immediately frowned.
"Yes, Nian Gengyao is the governor of Ba Shu. I heard that the governor of Ba Shu, Yue Shenglong, returned to his hometown due to old age, so that guy is still the governor of Ba Shu.”
"Then it seems that Ce Wang Arabtan won't be able to defeat Grass Valley this year.”When he heard that Nian Gengyao was actually in charge of the military and political power of Ba Shu, Zhu Bomu immediately shook his head.
Even though the population of Ba Shu was only a few hundred thousand, Kang Xi and the others had been migrating. Nian Gengyao only needed to defend a few places to prevent Ce Wang Arabtan from entering Ba Shu.
It seemed that he had to rush to the end of the year to expand his strength.
