Ningxia Town, now Zu Dashou's Taining Wei is stationed, and from time to time there will be drills.

The only thing that has not been cut in the 'military reform' of the Ming Dynasty is the cavalry.

Zu Dashou's Taining Wei and Mangui's Chijin Wei, these two cavalry not only did not decrease, but the scale was still expanding.

Groups of cavalry returned from outside drills and roared into the pass from the gate, bringing up a cloud of dust.

Zu Dashou didn't go out, sitting in the main hall, looking at the training log.

A deputy chief soldier wearing armor came in and said, "My lord, this month's plan is basically completed, and the team of field training has returned, so there is no accident." ”

Cavalry has always been a branch of the army that Zhu Xu attaches the most importance to, and I don't know how many resources have been tilted. Whether it is the current Marshal's Mansion or the previous military department, they are quite strict with the two cavalry, and the training, supervision, etc. have not stopped at all.

Zu Dashou is now a little fatter, his face is dusty, and he has the feeling of a Mongolian man, he raised his head expressionlessly, Fang Da's face was quite majestic, and said, "Okay." Next year, there will be several waves of inspectors in the military department, don't let them find faults, I will enter Beijing at the end of the year, if the emperor plays the board, let's not think about it. ”

The deputy chief soldier trembled when he heard this, he remembered that last year he was found out by the military department that they had a discount on their training, and they were supervised and stiffened several times, and many people were still in prison, and they didn't know if they could come out in this life.

"Yes!" The deputy chief soldier hurriedly responded.

As soon as he finished speaking, a somewhat young military general came in, judging from the rank on his shoulder, it should be a captain, he first saluted, and then said: "My lord, the military intelligence department observes, there are some changes in Moxi, and we haven't found out if it is aimed at us for the time being." ”

The two towns of Ningxia and Gansu are not only guarding against Moxi and Mobei Mongolia, but also the forefront of surveillance.

Zu Dashou knew it, but he didn't dare to relax, and said: "I know, continue to stare at it, and report it immediately if there is any change." By the way, what's going on over there in Cullen? ”

At present, a military unit is basically equipped with three divisions: the Military Intelligence Department, the General Staff Office, and the Military Justice Department, and the others are still slowly being tested.

He leaned over and said, "Yes." ”

Zu Dashou stood up and said: "In August, we are going to conduct a joint exercise with the Mongolian coalition army in Guihua City, you will rehearse the project again, and then there will be adults from the Shuai Mansion and the six departments of the cabinet to come, if they are unhappy, our salary, grain, grass, equipment, etc. should not be expected to be so smooth." ”

The deputy general soldier is also a headache for this now, in the past, those adults in the imperial court said that if they don't give, they won't give, but now it's a base number, the performance is good, the amount is given, and the realization is not good, it is the basic number, which is a big problem for them these generals, not to mention, they are also facing the competition of brother troops from all over the country.

He still replied and said, "Yes, the end will make all places step up drills, and they will not embarrass the adults." ”

Zu Dashou also kept his armor on his body, walked out with a 'hmm' sound, and said at the same time: "Let's go, go to the city to take a look, let the soldiers who come back rest for half an hour, and after half an hour, come to a twenty-mile weight-bearing cross-country." ”

"Yes." The deputy chief soldier and others responded and followed Zu Dashou outside.

Three days later, Dzungaria had returned to the garrison, and Huang Taiji's Jurchen cavalry was sent to a corner, where they ate cattle and sheep, mare's milk wine, and even very little water.

Turta was in Huang Taiji's big tent, looking at Huang Taiji, whose face was becoming more and more withered and dying, kneeling there silently, with tears in his eyes.

He is really sad, their Yehenara family has followed the Aixin Jueluo family for several generations, whether it is Nurhachi or Huang Taiji, they are all a generation of heroes, the thriving Dajin Kingdom has collapsed, their Great Khan is now desolate and dead, and the grief in his heart is beyond words.

Huang Taiji's whole person was already different, his eyes seemed to be unable to open, his chapped lips moved, and he said softly: "Don't cry, don't be afraid, I'm not dead yet." ”

"Great Khan." Turta looked at Huang Taiji and said in a choked voice.

Huang Taiji seemed to want to smile on his face, but he didn't have any expression, tilted his head, looked at Tulta, and said: "Remember my letters, he can keep you safe and go to Dolgon, and the lives of tens of thousands of people in my Jin Kingdom are in your hands." ”

Turta looked at Huang Taiji's face, knelt deeply, and whimpered louder.

Huang Taiji slowly turned his head and said: "After I die, I will keep it a secret, send the letter out, go according to my plan, go to Ningxia Town, don't say anything, listen to their arrangement, at most two months, you can go to Annan, send a letter to Dolgon, and the rest ......"

When Huang Taiji said this, he closed his eyes and didn't make any movement at all.

Turta raised his head, looked at Huang Taiji's expression, waited for a while, and said tentatively, "Great Khan."

But Huang Taiji didn't move, and even his brows stiffened.

But Turta knew that Huang Taiji was not dead, so he quietly kowtowed again and retreated silently.

Huang Taiji was lying there, still motionless, looking from a distance, it really looked like he was dead.

That night, when Turta went in again, he couldn't wake up Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji was lying there, and there was really no life.

Turta sat on her knees, muffling her crying, suffering for more than an hour, and leaving the tent with red eyes.

As usual, he quietly took out Huang Taiji's letter, and did what it said, and sure enough, those thousands and hundreds of households listened to him, and began to quietly pack their luggage and prepare to leave.

The next day, he took out the letter again, and did what the letter said, leaving Dzungaria to go to Ningxia Town in the Ming Dynasty, those Taiji and Qianhu who might have blocked them on the way to Ningxia Town, gave way silently, without the slightest obstruction, if they didn't see it.

They went all the way smoothly and came straight to Ningxia Town.

The Jurchen cavalry was galloping, they were afraid that something would happen, and they rushed desperately, but the Dzungar did not react, but Ningxia Town was startled.

A group of commanders-in-chief, deputy commanders-in-chief, lieutenants, as well as the General Staff Office, the Military Intelligence Department and others gathered together to discuss nervously.

A deputy general soldier said: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't, Wara (Moxi Mongolia) is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and he doesn't dare to provoke me at all, right, because of the summer harvest, so like many years ago, come to loot?" ”

"Huang Taiji has been in Dzungaria, and the court has asked for it many times but has not given it, they are secretly thinking, if they take the opportunity to do something to my border, it is not strange, we will just call back."

"If we don't understand their purpose, we just fought back too hastily, Your Majesty, the imperial court strives to stabilize the border and concentrate on internal affairs, if the war drags on for a long time, it will definitely be blamed. MIA, what did you spy on? ”

The lieutenant of the Military Intelligence Department looked solemn and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the subordinate officers have checked the information of the past six months and found nothing unusual. Dzungaria has just returned from the conquest of Kazakhstan and will not start a war with us so soon. The incident happened suddenly, and ladies and gentlemen, the Military Intelligence Service still needs time to investigate. ”

"What does the staff have in mind, do you have a plan?" A lieutenant said.

The captain of the staff office said directly: "My lords, the last general has already observed, it is the Jiannu cavalry that comes, the number is only 30,000, whether it is to hold out or go out of the city to fight, we have a great chance of winning, the question is, do you want to fight quickly, or come slowly?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and then they understood. The Jiannu people came too suddenly, too paradoxically, and they couldn't rush out of the city, but if they came slowly, they couldn't hold out, and they were known by the court, and they couldn't say that they couldn't be cowardly.

Zu Dashou looked at everyone's expressions, and said directly: "All the cannons, arrows and cannons are prepared, and the big basket rises higher, I am going to let Wara see how indestructible my Ming town is, and what a price it will cost to dare to offend!" ”

Everyone immediately understood Zu Dashou's strategy, and at the same time responded: "Yes! ”

The garrison phalanx of Ningxia Town, which I don't know how many times it had been rehearsed, quickly moved, the cannons were raised, and the firearms were densely packed, and it became more and more unattainable on the towering and tall city walls.

Turta with the Jiannu people, desperately rushed to the city, until not far from Ningxia Town, then he breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the Ningxia Town's tall walls as iron as iron, regardless of the dry throat, waved his hand, and said: "Come forward, tell them our purpose, everyone throw away their weapons." ”

"Yes." A solid mountain Ezhen came out of the crowd and rushed to Ningxia Town with a horse, waving a white flag in his hand.
