Xuanfu Town, also known as Xuanhua Mansion, belongs to the command of Wanquan Commanding Envoy, governing Xuanhua Mansion City, there are 1,116 miles of border walls, 1,274 side piers, and 192 punches.

Xuanfu Town has always been a place where soldiers must fight, and its strategic position is very important, especially after the Ming Dynasty built the capital of Beizhili Shuntianfu, Xuanfu Town is the throat place to defend the capital and defend the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the south.

In the 14th year of the orthodoxy of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the change of the civil fort, the town of Xuanfu was also broken by the army led by the Wara Taishi, and the border defense facilities were seriously damaged.

This is also the reason why the Northern Yuan Tatar Department Ji Nang frequently entered Xuanfu Town, because there were too many gaps in the Great Wall north of Xuanfu Town, and he could lead the army to rush in by finding one at random, and Zhao Bo, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, was killed because he led the army to plug the gap.

Xuanfu Town after this battle, the vitality was greatly damaged, until this time has not eased, Yang Cong led the Beijing camp to patrol, it can be regarded as a strong support, it can be said to be the right time.

It's a pity that Li Fengming, the current chief soldier of Xuanfu, doesn't think so, Zhuangyuanlang comes to command the battle, how can it feel unreliable!

Yang Cong and his entourage set off from Xizhimen, rushed to the northwest direction for about 100 miles, and came to Juyong Pass in the evening of the same day, and after Juyong Pass is the boundary of Xuanfu Town, that is to say, Xuanfu Town is actually only about 100 miles away from the capital, but the Xuanhua Mansion City, where it governs, is more than 300 miles away from the capital.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Yang Cong led the army to cross the Juyong Pass and enter Xuanfu Town, but he didn't expect that less than ten miles ahead, there was a dense border army in front, and there were four or five thousand people in the black press.

Before Yang Cong could react to what was going on, the first few horses ran out of the lineup of the border army and ran straight towards them.

He had just seen Tang Kekuan among a group of generals, and Zhu Xizhong, the prince of Chengguo, hit his horse to meet him and laughed: "Uncle Fengming, why did you come so far to pick us up?" ”

Dizzy, it turned out to be Li Fengming, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, listening to Zhu Xizhong's tone, this Li Fengming should be a cronie of the Chengguo Mansion.

He thought about it, and simply hit his horse to meet him and arched his hand: "General Li, I am tired of meeting you here, and I have worked hard all the way." ”

Li Fengming looked at Zhu Xizhong, who was full of immaturity, and then looked at the young Yang Cong, his face was full of helplessness, what is going on in this court, he actually sent two hairy boys to run to the border town to blindly command, how can he get it in the future!

He helplessly arched his hand to Zhu Xizhong, said, "The prince has not seen you for a long time", and then arched his hand to Yang Cong and said: "Lord Patrol, there is danger at all times here, and the last general is afraid that the Tartars will come to attack after receiving the news, so he privately leads the army to greet him, and I hope that Lord Patrol will not be blamed." ”

He is really helpless in his heart, this guy, a prince of Chengguo, a new champion, if something happens, then he will die.

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Can the Tartars actually break into Xuanfu Town and sneak attack?" ”

Alas, it's really a stunned young man!

Li Fengming sighed in his heart, and then explained: "The damage to the Great Wall outside Xuanfu is too serious, although the big crossings have basically been repaired, but many small places are still broken and ruined, if the Tartars gather tens of thousands of troops to come, we can receive the news in advance, they naturally can't break in silently and sneak attack, but if it's just a few hundred or thousands of people, they can pull out any tribe, and we can't guard against it." ”

fainted to death, this means, Xuanfu Town is not full of holes!

When Yang Cong heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, he thought about it, and then asked, "Where is the Tartar cavalry now, is there any news?" ”

Li Fengming nodded solemnly and said: "My lord, there is news, a few days ago, there was an urgent military situation from Yansui Town, and the Tartar cavalry is gathering in Hetao, and it is estimated that they will enter the Kou this year." ”

This!

When Yang Cong heard this, his face couldn't help but change, he wasn't ready for anything, if the Tartar cavalry rushed over at this time, he really couldn't do anything.

When Li Fengming saw his expression, his face was even more helpless.

Alas, what is the matter!

He explained helplessly: "My lord, please rest assured, Hetao is more than 2,000 miles away from here, and the Tartar cavalry will not dare to invade Xuanfu easily if they do not clean up the border army of the three towns in Shaanxi, after all, they still have to take care of their own back roads." ”

So that was the case, Yang Cong sighed, and then asked: "If the Tartars want to enter the Kou Xuan Mansion, when is it?" “

Li Fengming said: "In recent years, the Tartars have generally begun to assemble in Hetao in February, and began to invade the three towns of Shaanxi in March, and they will not come here until June at the earliest. “

Fortunately, fortunately, it's only February, and there are still more than three months to go.

Yang Cong waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go now, talk as we go." ”

Although Li Fengming has a headache, he can only listen to Yang Cong's actions, don't look at Yang Cong is just a bachelor from the five-grade Hanlin Academy, and even his actual official position as a patrol is only the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the seventh grade, but the people represent the imperial court to come to inspect the press, it can be said that he is the third level of the official university, and he can only listen to others.

There are still two hundred miles from Juyong Pass to Xuanhua Mansion City, Yang Cong didn't ask for a quick march at this time, he pulled Li Fengming all the way to inquire carefully, and asked Li Fengming to introduce every place he passed, whether it was a city or a fortress, or even a border army guard, he had a careful understanding.

He found that the defense of this Xuanfu town was actually quite tight, and there would be a city or fortress almost every twenty miles or so, and there were border guards stationed in it.

It's a pity that the equipment of these border guards is too poor, not to mention the Northern Yuan cavalry, and even other people's foot soldiers may not have beaten them, so every time the Tartars enter the Kou, they can only guard the city and fortress, and watch the Tartar cavalry wreak havoc outside the city.

This is really a problem, if the border army guards can have a musket, the Tatar cavalry will not say that they will come to 40,000 or 50,000, even if they come to 450,000, they will be planted in this Xuanfu Town, but unfortunately, at this time, the border army guards are not fully equipped with knives, guns, bows and crossbows, and they can't fight with others at all.

At this time, he also understood that Daming did not have no soldiers but no weapons and lacked training.

Like this Xuanfu Town, there were originally more than 150,000 border troops guarded, although after several disasters, there are still more than 80,000 border troops left, that is to say, as long as all the border troops in this town are fully equipped and trained into elites, it is enough to beat the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!

It's a pity that Daming's main energy is consumed in infighting at this time.

Courtiers and courtiers fight, courtiers and eunuchs fight, emperors and courtiers fight, everyone only fights in the nest, and they don't want to think about who is cheaper to fight.

He can't care about the disputes in the court at this time, he can only try his best to do his own thing and strive to make a world in Xuanfu Town.
