Chapter 807
Sun Kewang entered the Indochina Peninsula, where the civilization was influenced by the Central Plains, but it was already very developed.

The rice grown in the Central Plains is imported from Champa on the Indochina Peninsula.If the people there are hardworking enough, there is no problem at all in a row.

According to Niu Jinxing's beating report, Sun Kewang had a good time in Indochina Peninsula. He regarded himself as the Son of Heaven, commanded the small kingdom in Indochina, and had already wiped out the Gaoping Mo family, as well as Nanzhang, that is, Laos.

Now he is at war against the Annan Li clan, fighting guerrilla warfare against the southeastern small states that oppose his rule. He is very busy, and he may not be able to contain Nanming.

Speaking of which, it was Gao Yihuan's idea for Sun Kewang to enter the Indochina Peninsula, and he just wanted him not to threaten Nanming for the time being.

The previous goal was achieved, but now Sun Kewang seems to have discovered a new world, and it may not be easy for him to go back and start a war with Nanming.

Gao Yihuan smiled wryly for a while, but no matter what, he still wanted to give it a try. After all, compared to the Indochina Peninsula, Guangdong and Guangxi are China, and with the temptation of wealthy Guangzhou, Sun Kewang might make a move.

A few days later, Gao Yihuan and his party came to Taiyuan Mansion through the wind and snow, and saw many wheel marks and black coal ash scattered on the road.

In the distance, groups of mule carts loaded with rice, meat, and coal were transported to the front line.

Now the Wei army has blocked the siege of Taiyuan. The deep moats and earth walls outside the city are simply a replica of the siege of Jinzhou and Dalinghe, completely in the style of trapping Azig to death.

Taiyuan is the provincial capital of Shanxi, and its material reserves are relatively rich. It is not easy for Wei Jun to trap Azig to death, and he must last longer than Azig.

Gao Yihuan was eager to build the Third Division of Hedong and resume local production, in order to reduce the pressure on the supply of the army and ensure that the Wei army could be besieged for a long time.

At this time, looking at the convoy transporting supplies in the distance, Gao Yihuan asked with a white breath: "Is there any pressure on the supply of the army? Can the food and coal be guaranteed?"

Chen Mingxia said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, our Great Wei has a vast land and abundant resources. There are two major granaries in Huguang and Sichuan. The food for the army can be guaranteed, and even the supply of meat has not been interrupted. Now the Qing army can't take care of themselves. The prestige on the grassland is not as good as before. My Great Wei Its strength has already radiated to Qinghai and U-Tsang. A few months ago, several major forces in U-Tsang, the living Buddhas of Huang Hong and other sects, all expressed their intention to come to Wangjing to accept the canonization of the King."

"Haha~" Gao Yihuan had a complacent look on his face, wondering, "Really? But the lonely king is busy with things, so I don't know if he has time to meet him! Haha~"

"It's absolutely true, the Ministry of Rites has already reported it to the cabinet!" Chen Mingxia continued.

"That's it! Then let the Ministry of Rituals prepare it, don't make it too grand, the lonely king will just meet you casually!" Gao Yihuan exasperated.

Chen Mingxia smiled, and continued, "The Mongolian and Tubo tribes in Wusi Tibet and Qinghai have meat, but it is not easy to store it. The feudal government bought a large number of cattle and sheep with rice and tea, and some of them were sold live in Guanzhong. Some of them were slaughtered near Qinghai Lake, pickled with the lake salt there, and then sent to the army to feed the soldiers. Now there are more than ten slaughter workshops there."

Gao Yihuan nodded his head full of righteousness, "What about the coal?"

"There is a coal mine near Taiyuan. According to the king's wishes, I asked the Qing army prisoners captured in Puzhou to mine it, and then transported it directly to the army to keep the soldiers warm."

There are coal mines everywhere in the east of the river. In the cold winter night, a pile of them is lit in the military tent, which can help the soldiers of the Wei army survive the winter night, and can also bring warmth to the soldiers on duty.

Most of the houses at this time were made of wooden structures, and most of the sides and roofs leaked air, let alone military tents, so there was no need to worry about poisoning.

Gao Yihuan nodded, "The coal mine is too close to Taiyuan, which is indeed convenient for the army, but we must also pay attention to the risks, and the prisoners must be closely monitored. In addition, the labor intensity should not be too high, and they must be fed. After all, the lonely king is not a demon, but A benevolent monarch."

"Yes, yes, yes, the king's words, I have written down." Chen Mingxia hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this time, the group had already arrived at Yuci County in the south of Taiyuan City, where Gao Yihuan's temporary palace was located, and they galloped towards the city as soon as they were on their horses.

~~~~~~
In the north of Taiyuan City, Huangtu Village, the camp of the Northern Shanxi Army.

In Jiang Xiang's big tent, a brazier was lit, and Li Jiantai, who was dressed in a scarlet official robe, sat aside, while Jiang Xiang paced back and forth in the tent.

Now, they have received definite news from the south that the Ming army was indeed defeated by the Qing army in Xuzhou, and Zhu Cihong had already withdrawn.

Although Zhu Cihong was in Yangzhou and did not return to Nanjing, declaring that the Northern Expedition was not over and that he would definitely restore his ancestral foundation and recover Shenjing, Yangzhou and northern Shanxi were far apart.

If there is anything in northern Shanxi, there is no way to count on Nanjing.

At this time, Jiang Xiang suddenly stopped, looked at Li Jiantai and said, "Old Ge, if His Majesty is retreating now, it can be regarded as a disaster for my old Jiang."

"What is the Duke talking about?" Li Jiantai said with a straight face: "Isn't Your Majesty still in Yangzhou? The court also said that it is only a strategic retreat, and we will go north again when we wait for the opportunity. We are sticking to it and guarding the land in northern Shanxi." At that time, the imperial court will inevitably reward the duke of the state."

Jiang Xiang smiled wryly and said: "It's not easy! The king of Wei coveted Datong Town. He couldn't seduce me, Lao Jiang, so he started to seduce my subordinates. You don't know, Mr. Ge, those grandsons in Guanzhong burn charcoal fires for warmth. By the way, you can also roast a few sweet potatoes and corn cobs for supper. The cooks look for places where the brothers can see and smell them. Ordinary soldiers eat white rice, white flour pancakes, broth, and bacon every day. Eat, our people have already run over thousands of people."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiang complained: "The imperial court's support is useless. Brothers don't recognize this, so they are serious."

"If the imperial court can open a passage, these things will not be a problem." Li Jiantai also frowned, knowing that this is impossible, he was silent for a while after speaking, and suddenly said: "Duke Jin, why don't we retreat first! "

Wei Jun fought with his back in Guanzhong, and there was a steady stream of supplies coming in. Jiang Xiang couldn't compare with Wei Jun at all.

He can continue to work for the Ming Dynasty relying on the temptation of Jin Guogong and Shizhen Hedong, but ordinary soldiers have no reason to stick to his ideals.

Especially those newly recruited rebels are the least determined. If they continue to stay, most of them will be poached by Gao Yihuan.

After Jiang Xiang heard this, she nodded, "Alright, let the Wei army fight the Tartars first, and I, Lao Jiang, will also make a strategic retreat, return to northern Shanxi first, and wait for the opportunity to fight again."

Just when he finished speaking, the curtain was lifted suddenly, and a gust of cold wind and snowflakes poured into the tent, causing Jiang Xiang and Li Shitai's necks to shrink.

Both of them turned their heads to look at each other, and saw a general come in in a hurry, and said in a panic: "Duke, Mr. Ge, something is wrong. The Qing army detoured Xuanhua and entered northern Shanxi."

The muscles at the corners of Jiang Xiang's mouth pulled back, his face looked like a toothache, and he exclaimed, "What? The Tartars entered Datong?"
