Xuanfu is a hostile place for Fang Xing.

The first time I took part in the northern expedition to explore the road, I was almost killed by Zheng Heng.

After arriving at Xuanfu Town, Guo Yi and Jin Yu were very enthusiastic and confident.

Zhu gaoxu and these two people are also familiar, so after entering the city, he said carelessly: "do you have free pay under your command? Do some generals occupy the land? If so, say it, and I will deal with it at my discretion."

Guo Yi said with a smile: "Lord, Xuanfu faces the grassland directly. No matter how brave an officer is, he doesn't dare to eat empty pay!"

"How many escaped?"

Although Guo Yi was waiting for Anyang, Fang woke up and asked directly.

Guo Yi pondered, "there are more than 10000."

"Not much!"

Zhu gaoxu praised: "there are more than 100000 people in Xuanfu, but only more than 10000 have escaped. It can be seen that you are good at leading the army."

Yang Rong is speechless. According to the thoughts of civil servants, it's wrong for you to escape one person.

But after seeing the military tragedy of Tianjin Sanwei, Yang Rong can't be demanding.

The Xuanfu government controls the side wall of more than 1000 Li. With complex affairs and huge logistics, no other country has such strength except Daming.

After entering the city, Guo Yi couldn't help saying that he would invite the three to drink.

"Is there a warning on the grassland?"

Yang Rong was always worried, especially alutai.

Guo Yi said with a smile: "Lord Yang, arutai was defeated last year. At present, the army is being reorganized. It will probably fight to the death with Wala in the next year, so there is no worry about the side wall recently."

"That's good!"

After learning that the side wall is carefree, Yang Rong won't say anything about not drinking.

So after some rectification, a large pot of braised mutton was brought up.

Of course, you can't drink in the lobby. This is Guo Yi's backyard.

"In the past, we used to cook and roast mutton. Some people had a fresh meal of this kind of braised mutton in Jinling, so they went to the shopkeeper for a prescription. Now many people eat cattle and sheep in the frontier fortress."

Guo Yi arched his hands at Fang Xing and said, "you have to thank Xing and Bo. The shopkeeper was not happy at first. Later, he went to the villa and said that Xing and Bo said it when he came back. Since they are the same robes in the army, give them if you want, and avoid the meal money, ha ha ha!"

Fang woke up and smiled: "Fang didn't say good clothes and food at home before, but he refused to wronged himself in eating. Until he moved to many places and was tossed by the cook in the army for several times, he knew that there was no food in the army."

"That's the reason!"

Jin Yu agreed: "those cooks are used to the big pot. Stir fry meat and vegetables and add water. It's not stir fry and can't bite."

Zhu gaoxu ate a piece of mutton. He also recalled: "at that time of Jingnan, it was not easy to eat a good meal. Some cooks put too much salt, and the soldiers were angry, but he was plausible. He said that sweating was salt. If he didn't eat more salt, he couldn't win the southern army. Finally, even his father and Emperor didn't blame him."

Both Guo Yi and Jin Yu intended to narrow the distance between the two sides. Fang Xing cooperated. For a moment, they talked and laughed, and the previous contradictions seemed to dissipate.

After dinner, Zhu gaoxu and Yang Rong go to rest, but Fang Xing is invited by Guo Yi to have tea.

In the study, Guo Yi's thin face was full of guilt: "when Zheng Heng was in Xuanfu for a while, Guo had nothing to do! Fortunately, Xinghe was well under Bo Yu, otherwise Guo's death would be unforgivable."

Fang Xing said faintly, "Fang has no more than 2000 soldiers under his command. Anyang Hou doesn't need to be so cautious. As for the past, it's over, and there's no need to care."

On the way from Peiping to Xinghe, thousands of families in Jubaoshan really fought for their lives. If Fang Xing hadn't taken out many materials, no more than 300 people would have been able to survive to Xinghe.

Guo Yi's expression is just because Fang Xing's identity is very different from that of that year. He is worried that he will be blackhanded in the future.

When Guo Yi heard the speech, he smiled bitterly and said, "don't hide it from Xinghe Bo. In those days, Guo was really standing idly by and didn't reach out, but this is the case in the army. The level is strict. If you skip the level and interfere, you will get revenge afterwards..."

Guo Yi's calm was beyond Fang Xing's expectation. He said faintly: "pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. It's human nature. Fang naturally knows, but it can't be like this!"

Is this xinghebo still a man of noble character? Otherwise, how could he be so simple that he thought he could change people's hearts!

Fang woke up and said in a deep voice, "Fang is not afraid to go beyond. Say it. It's strictly hierarchical. This is a necessary thing in the army, but Daming's army is not private. With all due respect, this is a bad habit! It's time to show up and fight!"

Seeing Guo Yi's disapproval, Fang woke up and said, "in Tianjin, do you know where those soldiers who dare to report the lawlessness of the general have gone?"

Guo Yi is silent. Do you still need to say it!

"The whole family is dead and has no life to return!"

Fang Xing's voice was angry: "those beasts, I have told your majesty to ask the principal criminals to be late. All their families will be sent to Yingzhou. Three generations are not allowed to return home!"

Guo Yi said with a wry smile, "to be honest with Xinghe Bo, we have checked the guard station below once. Five people were arrested by more than 1000 officials, waiting for the decision of the Lord."

Fang Xing sneered: "the Lord is also furious. None of these people can have a good life!"

"There are also those who occupy the land. Guo's plea has gone to Beijing. I can't blame him!"

Guo Yi's guilt didn't move Fang Xing at all. He knew that this person just wanted to get rid of his responsibility. As for guilt, it was superfluous.

After some talk, the relationship between the two sides remains the same.

……

Many places in the Ming Dynasty were developed by military towns, and Xuanfu is one of them.

More than 100000 people and horses, people eat horses and chew, and military dependents with the army are scattered everywhere. This is a business opportunity.

After the original Kaizhong law was abolished, the South-to-North grain transfer became the lifeline of Xuanfu.

Walking down the street, Fang woke up to the prospect of expanding the cultivation of potatoes in the north, and felt that it should not be bad.

"Sir, there is an old man ahead."

The knife reminded Fang to wake up.

The old man is not strange, but the old man is wearing a ragged military uniform, one arm and one ear missing.

The old man blushed and sat on the steps of a cloth shop with a broken bowl in his hand and drank from time to time.

This is the military household. The father dies and the son follows. Unless he escapes, this is fate.

"You can't go on like this!"

When Fang woke up and returned to his residence, he sharpened his ink and began to write memorials.

"... I heard that the people had the courage to recruit in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Why? It was because of the rich military awards and the people's blood..."

Yang Rong walked in. Fang Xing didn't stop him and continued to write.

"... since the former Song Dynasty, everything is inferior. Only reading is high. How about? Good men don't become soldiers!"

Yang Rong saw these contents on Fang Xing's side and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

"... when the minister came all the way, he saw the misery of the military family. His heart of stone can also be moved. This is the same as the base service. How can he raise strong men!"

Yang Rong feels a little headache. Fang Xing's Memorial will bring more bad luck to many people in the northern guard station.

"... I think so. First, the country has too many soldiers and it costs a lot. However, the method of cultivating the fields has long been eroded by the collusion between the generals and the local authorities. Even if it is updated for a short time, it will repeat the mistakes. This person is greedy!"

"... whether the reward and punishment in the army can be clear, the Sergeant can have hope, if not, he will be slack. The minister said falsely that if the military household is not as good as the peasant household, he will..."

"Xinghebo!"

Yang Rong grabbed Fang Xing's wrist and said solemnly, "we need to brainstorm on this matter, not us."

Fang Xing shook his head and continued to write.

"... farmers can read. Why do military households work for generations? My father is a hero, but my son is not a hero. I suggest recruiting soldiers, with hundreds of family officials as the backbone, and the rest can be recruited..."
