At the end of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, when Zhang Jing'an and Zhao led the troops to Guizhou, Ma Shilong also left the Shanhaiguan that had been guarded for several years. Jiayuguan originally had about 10,000 defenders scattered on the Great Wall, but they were all good at farming and grazing and trading. Fortunately, these people don't like to fight, but they have super self-protection ability, Ningxia is Ma Shilong's hometown, and he himself brought 5,000 people, so he is also very confident.

After nearly a year of integration and arrangement, Jiayuguan's defensive ability has been greatly enhanced, Ma Shilong first drove down all the people who were nesting on the Great Wall and brought 5,000 people mixed training, and after a short assessment, the people were divided into two parts. Some of them are eager to try when they talk about fighting, this part of the people belong to the people with training value, Ma Shilong through the training of strength skills and the encouragement of language, they become very excited as soon as they hold the knife and want to cut people, No, part of the face is like dirt when they hear the war, looking left and right, just looking for a shortcut to escape, this part of the people Ma Shilong is not interested in spending more time on them, driving them all to Jiayu Pass and saying that those who escape will be executed immediately.

Before Ma Shilong arrived at Jiayuguan, he heard Sun Chengzong remind, saying that Jiayuguan was in a dangerous terrain and had a prominent position, and although there was no strong enemy attack in recent years, it was likely that he would soon encounter a big enemy, and he should be mentally prepared and prepared for strength to fight a tough battle. Ma Shilong's characteristics of using troops are very good at protecting themselves, and they can resolutely not fight hard when facing the enemy, and they may not be able to avoid the situation, so he will also make some changes in advance to avoid this situation, Sun Chengzong admires his concept of using troops, and thinks that he is the good general of the world and compares him to Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms.

The so-called ability to use soldiers does not mean how strong the person's martial arts are, nor how brave the soldiers under him are, but that he can make accurate analysis based on the information obtained, and make prudent arrangements based on the analysis. Since the analysis and arrangement need to be based on intelligence, the accuracy and timeliness of the information are very important, and Ma Shilong is unwilling to maintain the fate of the army on one or two pieces of information, he believes that as long as there is enough time, any conspiracy can be resolved. In order to get enough time to respond, Ma Shilong found some people to go to the front of Jiayuguan to live while being his eyes and ears, and these people were the criminals sent by the imperial court according to the will of the apocalypse.

It is not accurate to say that they are criminals, it should be said that these people are all death row prisoners who should have been killed, just because they themselves are willing to live and their crimes are forgivable, ♀ the law is death, things are constantly changing, once the Ming Law was promulgated, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that no one could change it, and some people who were excusable but the law was not merciless were often helplessly killed. Fortunately, the apocalypse knows how to be flexible, he thinks that it doesn't matter if a person dies or not, as long as he disappears forever, then he is equivalent to death, so with his permission, many people who are willing not to have contact with their original lives survive, and are sent to the northwest frontier to enrich the frontier.

Of course, not all condemned prisoners will be sent, those who have committed the most heinous crimes or who refuse to repent and repeat their crimes, these people are sold to medical schools for autopsy, and the money from the sale is used to repay the victims' families, and the debts are paid with their lives. In recent years, there have been more than 1,000 people who have not been sentenced to death row, and after I agreed to change places and be reborn, all of them were sent to Ma Shilong for him to deal with, and Ma Shilong briefly informed them of some precautions and sent them to Shazhouwei, west of Jiayuguan, that is, the place where the Chijin Mongols were originally scattered.

Chijin Mongolia turned out to be a Mongolian, after taking refuge in the Ming Dynasty, he has been very loyal and has been brilliant for a while, and then I don't know whether it is bad feng shui or bad luck, Chijin Mongolia was bullied by the surrounding departments in turn. The Wala in the north and the Vultures in the west often beat their ideas, and the Sari Vultures in the south sometimes had friction with them, and the worst time was that the official seals issued to them by the Ming court were robbed by the Turpan people, and later the Ming court came forward to ask them back. In this way, the tribe gradually decayed and the people's hearts became depressed, and later Chijin Mongolia only had a population of about 1,000, and moved to Suzhou to accept the protection of the Ming army.

Chijin Mongolia went to the Wara and the Wuer people at any time to think of the idea of this place, because although the west is a big desert here, there are also abundant water and grass suitable for horses, and there are also Dunhuang ruins here, it is said that there are big treasures underground waiting for people to excavate. Although the Ming army is not as brave as before, but the tiger will not fall, occasionally will go to Shazhou, Guazhou and other areas to patrol and swear sovereignty, interested in coming to Hami to slip around, the Wara and the Wuer people have no intention of clashing with the Ming army, so everyone goes their own way and is safe with each other.

It is only a statement that the army goes to patrol at any time, and generally they only go around Shazhou and Guazhou before returning home, after all, there are still large sections of the ancient Great Wall here, which are not as reassuring as other desolate places. And when patrolling, it is not as casual as in their own vegetable garden, Shazhou to the west is an endless Gobi, if people accidentally go in and get lost, if you want to come back alive, you have to see God's mood. Guazhou is faced with a large river, there are several mountains in the north of the river, and the Qilian Mountains in the south are continuous and towering into the clouds.

Ma Shilong is a very careful person, after he sent these people to Shazhou and Guazhou, he only put forward two requirements to them, one is not to allow his own people to fight or steal from each other, and the other is not to allow the idea of returning to his hometown from Jiayuguan. Regardless of the reason for violating these two articles, they will be arrested and executed immediately, of course, the third point is that they are not allowed to take refuge in foreign races, these people are dead in the eyes of their hometowns, but they are born to be Ming people, and they are dead people of Ming Dynasty who cannot be foreign slaves, and now they can only find a way to survive in this place, and by the way, they can be eyes and ears for the defenders, even if the enemy comes to attack, they can also leave some time for the defenders to prepare.

Since it is reborn after death, it cannot use the original name, but it can be on the verge of the original surname, and the name is added to the number of heaven and earth, so there are many more people such as Wang Bingliu and Zhao Wusan. If you don't have anything to eat, you can come to Jiayuguan to borrow rations, and then use things to pay back, and Ma Shilong, who is lazy and just wants to borrow money to live, can find something for them to do, but the work he gives is more hard and boring, such as building the Great Wall like Meng Jiangnu's husband Wan Xiliang, or helping people who have no place to live to build houses.

Among these people, the old man and the woman lived in the gate, and did some sewing and pulping for others to earn some ration money, and those who had skills were better than those who could do some things such as nailing horseshoe, curing diseases, grasping medicine, repairing clothes, armor and weapons, etc., and the strong and strong went to the Shazhou area to hunt and collect medicine, and the Chijin Mongols withdrew for many years, and there was only the poisonous sun during the day and the cold moonlight at night in addition to the wind and sand, which was really not suitable for human habitation. But where there are aquatic plants, there are wild sheep and hares, and these vegetarian wild animals will seduce a large number of wild beasts such as wolves and foxes.

Because there is a lot of oil and water in Shazhou, many people slowly migrated to the past, anyway, some ruins can also be sheltered from the wind and rain, those who have a little savings think long-term, see some young women in the vicinity of Jiayuguan to do things for others, so wagging their tails to go up and tease. Everyone is not a gentleman and lady who will think about love, think about the gains and losses, you can think about whether to live together, and the conditions are limited, and there is no need for any three media and six certificates, and after seeing the right eye, you can directly pack up your things and come together to create the future, so that the number of people gathered in Shazhou, Guazhou and other places has gradually increased.

On this day, Ma Shilong was chatting with his subordinates in the army, and suddenly a patrolling soldier came back and said that he had found a strange situation, Ma Shilong also felt a little strange after listening to the soldier's report÷ the situation turned out to be like this, a team of soldiers came to the vicinity of the original Guazhou as usual, and found that there were many people living on the side of the ancient Great Wall by the river, including men and women, who seemed to be those sinners ♀ who had been reborn, and some of them reported two things to the soldiers, which aroused the vigilance of the patrol soldiers. It is said that five days ago a group of fierce-looking men and a few lamas crossed the Shule River to the north, and probably saw that the people who lived here did not care about them and left without much trouble.

Who knew that two days ago there was another group of people who were also going to cross the river with a few lamas, these people were obviously well-trained soldiers, and when they saw that the people who lived here were not at all afraid when they saw the living people, they immediately became alert and inquired carefully. Originally, the people who live here now are all people who have been murdered, and when they see strangers, they will naturally show hostility, and some people are looking at the weak links of each other's bodies, estimating what means can be used to put each other down in a short time, this kind of inadvertently reveals an abnormal temperament that makes people alert, and the other party also finds that these people are not good people who can be slaughtered, so they are extra careful.

In the conversation, everyone talked about the lama who had crossed the river two days ago, and the lama who came later showed a disdainful expression when he heard about it, and these were all seen in the eyes and remembered in their hearts, so when the patrol soldiers came, they immediately reported it, and received some reward for it.

Ma Shilong also felt strange after hearing this, it is said that the lama is some mutated monks, usually nest in the temple to recite scriptures, occasionally come out in the name of the practice to cheat some food and drink, if you are lucky, you can also cheat some money. It is of course easier to deceive others than to deceive others, but it is strange that these lamas are not publicistic but appear too low-key.

What's even more puzzling is that the two groups of lamas are obviously not all the way, even if they meet, they will not fight immediately, but they look down on each other, which is certain, which shows that they are not from the same place. However, the source is not very important, the lama is not liked by the Wu'er people, and it is thought that it is either from Wusi or from the world? Glaring at the gorge cedar? The pancreatic ship is the key account? And Canxin? 堋4髺鞯 Sex ? Shun has [Ellipse? Basket Shedding Quietly ┣ Basket Basket Lai Tomb Tomb Twist Twist Generations of Cattle and Cows?

Ma Shilong was considering the origin and purpose of these two groups of lamas, and his soldiers reported that Wang Yongguang, the new overseer of the Northwest Military Region, was coming to Suzhou with his entourage, and now that Ganzhou had passed, it was estimated that he would arrive tomorrow, so Ma Shilong could see how to greet him.
