Chapter 183 The wool comes from the sheep

   After waiting for three months, the emperor's condition became more and more serious. There was a message from the capital that the emperor might be ill at any time, so the few princes guarding the southern border returned to the capital in a hurry.

  Without the mess of ginseng and ginseng, Yu Zhenwu was relieved a lot. After a year of struggle, it can be regarded as regaining all the lost ground.

  But what is surprising is that they regained the lost land, and the people were not very happy. Some people even missed the army of the Great Mongolian Kingdom and Cao Chengtong.

   After a search, they found out that after the Mongolian army entered the city, not only did they not burn, kill, and loot, but they also adopted a soft policy, saying that if they were willing to submit to the Mongolian country, they would be exempted from all exorbitant taxes for the first three years.

   Those who are over 80 years old will be given some rice, meat and wine every month; those who are over 90 years old will be given silk and cotton wool in addition.

  Anything that should be given rice, the county magistrate of each county must personally inspect, and the county magistrate or county lieutenant will send the rice to the door.

  Things bestowed on the elderly under the age of ninety will be given to them by cowards and Lingshi.

  The Great Mongolian Kingdom will also send out the capital officials in charge of supervision to circularly monitor the counties it belongs to, and punish and supervise those who do not follow the edict.

  So, in the past year when the Great Mongolia took over the city, the people have really benefited.

  Cannibals are soft-mouthed and short-handed, and the people have benefited from the Great Mongolian Kingdom, so they naturally think about this kind of good.

  Jiang Lin got angry when he mentioned the faces of those common people, saying that they had no feelings for family and country at all.

  When people from the Great Mongolia offer a little favor, they wag their tails at them.

   You must know that the superficial efforts made by the Great Mongolian Kingdom are all malicious.

  What about rice and noodles, the rice and noodles used are all from the granary of the landlord’s house in Daliang, and the Dameng Kingdom did not return to the country to pick up a grain of grain.

  The wool came out of the sheep, and the sheep were moved by the end.

  Jiang Lin couldn't help cursing, "Stupid."

  Yu Xiaolian was also frightened by Cao Chengtong's method of buying people's hearts.

  The two countries are at war, and the people of the defeated side are doomed to be unlucky.

  Cao Chengtong did the opposite.

   Moreover, the Great Mongolian Kingdom was in a state of invincibility at the beginning, with ten cities in a row, how could it be taken back by Yu Zhenwu in one go?

  Yu Xiaolian asked her doubts.

  Jiang Lin didn't expect Yu Xiaolian to ask the right idea, but he couldn't say that all of this was intentional by King Jin and General Yu.

  Jiang Lin laughed and changed the subject.

  Although Jiang Lin didn't explain clearly, Yu Xiaolian still guessed a thing or two.

  Because three years after Jun Yi’an ascended the throne, Cao Chengtong escorted Princess Luo Ning of the Great Meng Kingdom to Da Liang for a kiss.

   It stands to reason that the prince of Great Liang died when the two countries were at war, and the two countries should have formed an eternal feud, but after a few years they reconciled and Junting Yebai died.

   It seems that Jun Yi'an and the Great Mongolian Kingdom should have reached some unknown agreements in private.

   Sure enough, it is not that simple to be an emperor.

  Yu Xiaolian asked curiously, "How old is Cao Chengtong? What does he look like?"

  Jiang Lin replied, "About twenty or so, probably less than thirty.

  Human, she is average in appearance, she wears a helmet and armor on the battlefield, and she is tightly covered, which is not very real. "

  Yu Xiaolian asked again, is there no man available in Great Mongolia? Why send a woman out to lead the army to fight?

   Jiang Lin was really curious about this matter, so he asked General Yu about it.

  Cao Chengtong was originally the daughter of the Great Meng Guoping General of the North. She marched and fought beside her father since she was a child.

  Thus, Cao Chengtong doesn't like red makeup, but loves to be armed, even tougher than some men.

  Cao Chengtong was able to ride a horse and draw a bow at the age of ten, and he was able to pierce an arrow with a hundred steps. He was also proficient in all kinds of swords, guns, swords and halberds, especially a small silver spear.

   What people talk about most is that one year when Cao Chengtong and her father were besieged in Wancheng by tens of thousands of Hu soldiers, she took the initiative to ask Ying out of the city for help.

  That year, Cao Chengtong was only fourteen years old, leading more than a dozen dead soldiers to break through the siege, invited reinforcements, broke the siege of Wancheng, and successfully saved his father from the fire and water.

  As a woman, Cao Chengtong has such courage at such an age, and has achieved such a feat. She deserves to be a hero among women.

  Since then, Cao Chengtong's name has been resounding throughout Dameng, and he has been appreciated and loved by the people of Damong.

  Later, Cao Chengtong conquered the Hu State in the south for the Great Mongolian State, and conquered the Great Liang in the north, and made many unworldly achievements.

  The emperor of Great Mongolia made an exception and named Cao Chengtong a female general, and allowed Cao Chengtong to have "three wives and four concubines" just like men.

   It is said that there are more than a dozen beautiful men in Cao Chengtong's house.

  Yu Xiaolian clicked her tongue.

   While smacking his tongue, he was also a little envious.

  Cao Chengtong lived like a girl who wanted to live but couldn't.

  If there is a chance, she really wants to meet this well-known female general.

  Yu Xiaolian asked Jiang Lin, how long can he stay in Los Angeles? Where will you go when you leave Los Angeles?

  Jiang Lin said, after the conquest of Yuzhou, they still have to go to Jizhou and Luzhou.

  Now on the southern border, fortifications need to be built, so a large number of soldiers are needed.

  Fortifications not only need to strengthen the city walls, but also have to make a lot of horse-proof posts and dig horse pits to resist the cavalry of the Great Mongolian Kingdom.

  The horse rejection post is just a simple tool to stop the enemy, but the horse trap is not just to stop the enemy.

  The horse pit is a kind of small hole with a diameter of more than ten centimeters and a depth of about 30 centimeters. It is arranged in a large area. When a horse is running, it is easy to break its legs if it steps into it.

  In some horse traps, bamboo chips and sharp wooden stakes are arranged. As long as the horse steps into it, it will be seriously injured and lose its combat effectiveness.

  Jiang Lin spoke vividly, and Yu Xiaolian and everyone listened with gusto.

  People are always full of curiosity about unknown things, and Yu Xiaolian is no exception.

  Originally, their family planned to go to Jiecheng. Jiecheng is the real south, like spring all the year round.

  Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing I didn’t go. If I went, I would be plagued by war and there would be no peaceful days.

   Just listening to Jiang Lin describe the swords, lights, swords, shadows and life and death on the battlefield is already thrilling enough. I really can't imagine what it would be like if I was in it.

  Jiang Lin was afraid that Yu Xiaolian would be worried, so he didn't dare to tell her some worse things. He only said that he had been injured a few times in the southern border, but they were all minor injuries, and he was already fine.

  Before leaving, Jiang Lin took out fifty taels of silver note, saying it was the money to pay back Yu Xiaolian.

  Yu Xiaolian didn't want it, but Jiang Lin insisted on giving it.

   As a last resort, Yu Xiaolian had no choice but to accept it.

  As for Sun Fengshou's matter, Jiang Lin said that it was just a matter of his words, so they should not worry.

  When Yu Xiaolian sent Jiang Lin out, the night was already dark, and the two walked a distance along the street. Jiang Lin suddenly told Yu Xiaolian in a low voice, "Some time ago, the Prince's people caught a woman from the Wu clan in Miaojiang."
