In fact, we are not afraid that the bastion will fall into the hands of the barbarians.

If they really capture and occupy a fortress, it will be their time to die. There are not many others in Dayan and there are many people. Then the officers and soldiers will be guarding outside and will not attack. If they wait for a long time, they will starve to death. In the end, they would have to abandon the fort and run away sooner or later, and Dayan officers and soldiers did not need to risk chasing them, as long as they escaped.

After all, Dayan is completely different from the Hu people. When the Hu people attack the fortress, they don't have enough manpower to capture it.

As for Dayan, he is afraid of death, so he doesn't have to attack the fortress. There are many people anyway, so he can just defend it.

Of course, it would be best if the barbarians did not seize the bastion. After all, it would be a bit dangerous to surround the bastion occupied by the barbarians. For the cowardly people like Dayan, it would naturally be possible. Danger is the best, which is why they feel that if the barbarians capture the bastion, they will be in trouble.

The Hu people took this into consideration and did not seize bastions everywhere.

Of course, the main reason is that they have few people and dare not divide their troops. After all, they have robbed many cities. In order to protect these cities, they have allocated a lot of troops to defend those cities. Then they will rob those bastions and distribute their troops to each bastion. , Unless they are crazy, after all, even if one bastion sends hundreds of people, ten bastions will require thousands of people, which is a lot of troops for them.

The generals guarding Dayan felt that there were too many bastions and no troops to defend them, let alone the few Hu people, and it was even less likely that they would have any troops to defend them.

Since they couldn't defend it, why should they rob those bastions? What they thought most about was to destroy the bastion and rob people and property, rather than occupying the bastion for their own use.

Therefore, even if Dayan has no manpower and only puts one or two hundred people to guard a fort, there is no need to worry that the barbarians will take away the fort, because it is useless to take away this piece of shit.

So at the moment, the Hu people watched the bastions keep advancing, but they had no choice. On the contrary, they had to worry about the new generals who were preparing to take back the cities they had occupied before, such as those cities that were already surrounded by many bastions.

They also realized at this moment that the situation was not good.

There were many bastions around the front city that we had occupied, and some people were living in them.

In this way, when Dayan attacked the city occupied by them, the logistics could transport the food to the nearby bastion, so that they could keep besieging them without worrying that if the siege lasted for a long time, the food would be gone and they would have to disperse.

And once they are surrounded, even if they have no food, they will not be able to find a place to provide food even if they fight out. Then something will happen.

It's similar to the outcome of taking a bastion and being unable to defend it.

Can they not be afraid when they think of such an ending? We can only pray that Dayan's army will not think of this and dare not take back the city.

But how could Dayan's army not think of this? In addition, the new general was quite powerful. He had already begun to train his soldiers seriously, and he was ready to take back the cities that were surrounded by many fortresses.

Without advancing to the front line, in the rear court, after the fall of Han Cifu, there was a period of turmoil in the court, but now it has stabilized. At this time, Linlang was already seventeen or eighteen years old, and almost five years had passed since he ascended the throne.

At such an old age, even the common people are already married, let alone the emperor. It is time to get married and rule in person.

As a result, there were more and more remonstrances from the government to let Linlang be drafted, married, and take charge of the government.

This time, there are even more people who want to stuff their daughters into the palace, because after five years of development, many people have realized that this little emperor has two skills. Mingjun, in this way, who doesn’t want to marry their daughter into the palace and gain some popularity in history in the future? Otherwise, if they want to leave a big name in history with their mediocre official career, then It's impossible.

At this point, it is still hard to tell that the little emperor has two brushes, unless he is a fool.

The navy's expansion of territory went smoothly. Since the change of generals in the north, the situation has also reversed. Through infrastructure construction in the Central Plains, many people have lived a good life, and through the resumption of clan land, many landless people have land. The serious problems before The phenomenon of land annexation has been greatly alleviated, and uprisings everywhere have gradually disappeared.

The changes in the court were even greater. When the young emperor first came to the throne, there was no room for him to speak in the cabinet. Now, there are three parties in the cabinet, and the young emperor can speak.

The little emperor's internal funds are richer than the national treasury through banks and national debts. If the little emperor hadn't been overthrown by Han Cifu last year, she could forcibly raise the commercial tax after gaining control of the cabinet, and then also introduced a consumption tax on luxury goods. Let the national treasury gradually fill up a lot this year, otherwise, the national treasury will really become a pitiful one.

The fact that the little emperor can successfully implement consumption tax and increase commercial tax also shows that he has courage, otherwise he would not be able to implement it.

It had only been five years since the little emperor came to power. Through a series of innovations, the entire court had a new look and flourished. It seemed that the dynasty was about to revive. It would be a fool to say that the little emperor was incompetent.

If there was no evidence, they would all suspect that the previous downfall of Ma Ge Lao, Han Cifu and others was the result of the little emperor's action, in order to clean up the cabinet and replace it with people who were beneficial to the little emperor. After all, look at the current cabinet, it is not It’s good for the little emperor.

Not to mention anything else, General Wang, who was transferred from the front line, was found guilty of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, short-paying, and depriving soldiers of their pay, not long after he was transferred back to the mainland. Moreover, the emperor did not collect him, but the other party really committed these crimes. The evidence was conclusive, so no one objected, so he was sentenced to death.

Originally, Ling Chi was punished for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but the emperor was kind-hearted and said that Ling Chi's punishment was too cruel, so he would not use it in the future, so he only used execution.

Look, that General Wang was dealt with in this way. On the surface, it was not the emperor who took action, but the bad things he did were exposed. But everyone felt confused, and they always felt that this was too coincidental. Why did those who committed the crime A good person can be exposed from time to time, and then deal with it, which also adds a lot of money to the national treasury.

Because of their worries, they acted much more cautiously in the future, and became less and less afraid to act recklessly, for fear that someone would find out and be as unlucky as Mr. Ma Ge and others.

Naturally, Linlang still refused to agree to their urging to marry, and only said: "Let's wait until I'm past my prime. I still have a lot of things to do and don't have time for this."

In two or three years, she should have more real power, and then more people will be tied to her chariot. Even if the woman's identity is announced, no one will dare to mention it and ask her to give up the throne to the clan. After all, after she stepped down, those who had benefited from her were afraid that the emperor and the courtiers would lose those benefits. (End of chapter)
