Li Yu was so busy during this time that he almost didn't even have the time to sleep and eat, Batu and Namur were very enthusiastic, but they didn't have any experience in the army, the officers had never fought and did things in a daze, and he had to worry about the big and small things in the camp, the most reassuring thing was Bi Lige, this guy was born to be a housekeeper, and he handled the whole camp eating, drinking, and Lazar in an orderly manner.

Li Yu himself didn't have the experience of leading so many soldiers, he could only rearrange what he saw, heard and thought in the Jin Kingdom in the past, and then took it out and practiced it repeatedly, fortunately, the other people in the camp were inferior to him, and no one would laugh at him. The officers have already learned how powerful he is, and this time he is much more honest, those guys who are really muddy and can't get on the wall have quietly slipped away by themselves, Li Yu thinks that these Mongolian soldiers are still easy to lead, as long as you are more capable than them, they are very obedient.

This person who was called Bayala camp by Li Yu had both people from the Shunyi Wangfu Guards and people from various tribes, and the system was very chaotic, Li Yu simply disrupted the original structure, and reorganized it according to his vision, with ten people as a tithe, five tithes as a team, two teams as a team of 100 people, and five hundred people as a sentry. Most of the officers in this Bayala camp are civilians and slaves, and some of them are from noble backgrounds, such as Urden from the west outpost and Terig from the east outpost, they are from a small Taiji family with a population of only a few dozen families, and they are also a small leader, but they are so poor that they want to be a hundred chiefs in the past.

When the crops were almost harvested, some young people from Bansheng also joined in—this year's harvest was worse than last year's, and the soldiers had enough to eat, and they still had two liters of miscellaneous grain to take every day. Batu and Namur still had concerns about whether to accept the Han people of Bansheng, in the eyes of the Mongols, they were Hakka people rather than their own people, and the Mongols fought with a tribal core and never had the habit of accepting Han people as soldiers. Li Yu doesn't care, most of the ancestors of these Bansheng people escaped from Guannei during the Jiajing period, intermarried with the Mongols, and lived together for several generations, saying that they are Han people and even they don't believe in themselves, and their way of life has changed from farming to semi-farming and semi-herding, can you still treat these people as guests? Li Yu patted his chest and said, everyone is from Fengzhou Chuan, and the real guest is I, Li Yu, and those who have the ability to gain a foothold in the army will be accepted. So four or five hundred horses and horses who could ride and shoot also joined the Bayala battalion, and Chen Erzhu and Liu Shishi have now become Li Yu's personal soldiers, smiling and following him all day long.

The tactics taught to them by Li Yu were very simple, that is, the soldiers stared at the chief, the captain stared at the captain, the captain stared at the hundred chiefs, the hundred chiefs stared at the sentry chief, the sentry chief stared at the camp flag, and the officials did what the people below did, and the result was what Li Yu did, and everyone did what they did at the first level, when Li Yu shot an arrow attack on a certain target, the rain of arrows immediately rushed to that target, Li Yu was very satisfied with this, and fought like this on the battlefield. You can get a local advantage in forces at any time. Li Yu repeatedly stressed to the officers that the advantage of the Mongols was to shoot on horseback, to keep running, to avoid falling into hand-to-hand combat with the enemy as much as possible, to attack with a dense rain of arrows according to the instructions of the battalion flag, and to attack repeatedly until the enemy was in great confusion, and then concentrate on attacking the enemy's chaotic places, disrupting the enemy's formation, and thus causing the enemy's complete collapse.

Li Yu's style of play was quickly accepted, the Mongols are no strangers to this tactic, this was originally their ancestors' way of fighting, but everyone has lived their own days over the years, and they have almost forgotten it, but they are born with the ability to ride and shoot, and it is not difficult to pick it up again. As soon as the training was smooth, Li Yu himself was a little proud, and he even felt that if he was given another month, he would be able to compete with the Konot cavalry in Chahar.

At this time, Ortai arrived, and he announced to the officers of the Bayala battalion the Khan of Boshuo Ketu Khan: The Bayala battalion should immediately restore the old system, the current structure should be abolished, the officers and soldiers should return to their original posts, and the deputy commander Li Yu would be deprived of his post and ordered him to leave the camp immediately.

Batu and Namu'er immediately looked like ashes, only Li Yu was very calm, and began to pack up his things without saying a word, Batu sneered and said: "Yuzi is gone, those wretches are coming back, and our hard work in the past two months has been in vain." Well, let the people of Omulon do it, and I won't do it either. ”

Batu left after speaking, Na Mu'er snorted and followed out, Ortai saw that Li Yu was also going out, grabbed him, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that you have a private relationship with Mingguo, is there such a thing?" ”

Li Yu didn't hide it, he honestly told Ortai - this can't be hidden, the guys who went home with millet showed this matter everywhere, and the people in Kuku and Tun almost knew about it, but Li Yu emphasized that if someone said that he had private dealings with Mingguo, it would be nonsense, and he was not from Mingguo, so what good dealings with Mingguo would be.

Ortai shook his head and said: "It's better if you really have a relationship with the Ming Kingdom, the situation of Tumut is no longer solved, and you can help us in the Ming Kingdom." ”

After Ortai finished speaking, he left, Li Yuleng for a moment, and beckoned Chen Erzhu and Liu Shishi out of the big tent. Wuhai, Buck and the others were at a loss and at a loss, Terrig and Urden were full of frustration, the whole tent fell silent, and everyone had no intention of doing anything anymore.

A few days after Li Yu returned to Baita Village, Chen Erzhu and Liu Shishi came with Wuhai and Buck, and Wuhai and Buck cried out when they saw Li Yu: as soon as Li Yu left, Batu and Namur didn't do anything again, and the people who were driven away immediately counterattacked as soon as they came back, and the people promoted by Li Yu were driven back to their original positions one by one, and those who were originally soldiers went back to be soldiers, and those who were originally petty officials continued to be petty officials, and Boshuo Ketu Khan's two liters of miscellaneous grain a day were no longer distributed, since Batu was gone, then he could only let Omulun take over this stall, Didn't the Taiji people support Omulun, then you should go and raise food yourself, anyway, he won't pay for it anymore. Omulun was also quick enough, and immediately sent his cronies Hanggao and Tobok to take over the Bayala camp, these two people did not intend to distribute food at all, the Mongols have always provided their own horses, weapons and rations for war, how can there be a reason to give rations to the soldiers, and the soldiers cannot be spoiled. As soon as the rations were cut off, the hearts of the people were scattered, everyone had no intention of training, the people from all tribes returned to their own tribes, and the people from the royal palace guards returned to the old way of doing private work and messing around, and Li Yu and Batu's two months of hard work were all in vain.

Buck said with a sad face: "The matter of us following Baturu to Datong Town has also been revealed, and the guys who were driven away by us want to retaliate against us, forcing us to withdraw the two buckets of millet, and also drive the two of us and the chief and captain who went with you out of the palace guards, and now that our twenty or so people are missing, we can only ask Baturu to help us." ”

Wuhai also hung his head and said: "Baturu, now only you can save us, we don't know how to farm, we don't have livestock at home, we can't even eat if we don't find an errand, and the whole family has to starve." ”

Li Yu's head was big when he heard this, he lowered his head and covered his head and couldn't say a word, Chen Erzhu, Liu Shishi, Buck, and Wuhai glanced at each other, Chen Erzhu said hesitantly: "A few of us have discussed, the harvest in the field this year is not good, and staying at home is also starving, Wuhai They can't even find a place to eat, so just join you as a Ming army, that Lord Song didn't give you a famous thorn, so that you can figure it out to find him, Lord Song is a big official, and he looks quite kind, you take us to vote for him." ”

Li Yu shook his head: "What's so good about being a Ming army, didn't you hear Mo Rige say that they can't even get military salaries, and besides, they look like wretches, I get annoyed when I see them." ”

Liu Shishi hurriedly said: "We are not going to be the guards of the mouth, we all have horses and weapons, and if we want to do cavalry, we are also cavalry, when their cavalry is more or less paid, that Lord Song is very big, and even the chief soldier is obedient in front of him, I think since he takes a fancy to you, he will definitely not be too wronged by us, how can our gang of people be much stronger than their current group of cavalry." ”

Li Yu hesitated, he really didn't want to be the Ming army he had always looked down on, Wuhai and Chen Erzhu persuaded him again, there were more Mongolians outside the Great Wall to be the Ming army, and everyone wouldn't take it too seriously, it was nothing more than to find a bowl of rice to eat, the Ming army didn't care about our, we just went to eat mixed rice, and if we didn't want to do it one day, we would just go back to Fengzhou.

Li Yu was dizzy by what they said, let them go back first, he had to think about it.

When these people left, Li Yu immediately went to find Li Fugui, this person has read books and is the most knowledgeable in the village, Li Yu thinks he should be able to help him come up with some ideas, Li Yu himself can't figure it out, he doesn't want to invest in the Ming Army, but Wuhai and Buck are implicated with him, and now he can't find a place to eat, and he feels that he can't ignore it.

Li Fugui was hiding from Li Yu during this time, Li Fugui boasted about Haikou at the beginning of the year, saying that his potato production capacity per mu was more than 500 catties, but he could only collect more than 200 catties, and the potatoes were small, and some of them were astringent in their mouths, so everyone dared not eat them, and everyone in the village said that he was cheating Yuzi's money. Li Fugui himself is not discouraged at all, he wants to re-select the seeds, and plant them again in the spring of next year, but he has also learned the lesson of this year, and he can't plant potatoes in low-lying areas in the future, and many of his treasures are rotten in the ground due to the heavy rains. Li Fugui didn't care what the people in the village said about him, but he was really a little afraid of Li Yu, he spent almost thirty taels of silver on Li Yu this year, and finally collected a bunch of green bumps that no one ate, and he was embarrassed to explain to Li Yu.

When Li Yu came to the door, it was already a little late, just blocking Li Fugui at home, Li Fugui was startled, thinking that Li Yu was going to settle accounts with him, but Li Yu didn't mention a word about planting potatoes, but told him about the Ming army, Li Fugui's heart was put down, since Li Yu wanted him to ask for advice, then he put up the shelf, and immediately called his lame Mongolian woman to boil water for Li Yu, and he sat on the big kang himself, claiming to think about it for the Yuzi brothers.

Li Fugui deliberately pondered for a moment, and then waved his hand: "What a big deal I should do, isn't it just to go to the Ming army to mix a bowl of rice and eat, you just go, it's not a big deal." Li Yu's face was not good-looking when he heard this, and Li Fugui said seriously: "This place in Fengzhou is not the peaceful place you think, it has already been an undercurrent, Altan Khan is eloquent, unified the various tribes of Southern Mongolia, and negotiated with the Ming State to negotiate the market, so that Fengzhou has no war for nearly 60 years, and the people of Fengzhou live and work in peace and contentment, but he did not solve the problem of succession to the throne, and the property he left has become the target of competition for his descendants, and his wife Zhongjin and his children and grandchildren did not hesitate to fight for it, and the people's hearts have long been scattered after decades, Bo Shuo Ketu Khan is called the King of Shunyi, but in fact, he can't control the Tumut tribes at all, as for the right-wing 30,000 households league leader is even more in name only, the right-wing 30,000 households are scattered how to defeat the tiger and wolf soldiers of Chahar, the reason why it is still quiet now is because the Chahar people must collect forage for the winter, but it will not be long before the war will inevitably break out, then Chahar will destroy the right-wing 30,000 households in one fell swoop, Tumut, Yongshaobu, Ordos can not run away, the Fengzhou chaos is a foregone conclusion, what else can you do if you stay here, you go! The sooner the better, take away all the descendants in the village who are willing to leave, and if you can escape, one counts as one. ”

"If that's the case, what are you going to do?" Li Yu was a little creepy when he heard it, and hurriedly said.

"What do you care about what we do, there are a lot of people in Fengzhou River, can you manage it?" Li Fugui sighed and continued, "There is even more terrifying, Boshuo Ketu Khan is definitely going to end, Chahar Khan entered the Fengzhou River without the support of the Ming State, it will not be tenable, if he is extremely hungry, he will do nonsense, then Fengzhou will be starving all over the wilderness, a piece of erosion, Fengzhou decades of peaceful days are over." ”

Li Yu couldn't help but stand up: "I don't believe it, can't I stop all this?" ”

Li Fugui smiled bitterly and said: "Of course there is, only the Ming Kingdom wants to solve the knot of Fengzhou, but does the Ming Imperial Court want to get these?" Chahar Khan moved westward, the most should have reacted was the Ming State, their court should have resolutely stopped Chahar Khan's moves, gave Chahar Khan a bite to eat, let him entrench himself outside the eastern border of Liaodong and fight with Jiannu to the death, not to give Jiannu a chance to go south, take a step back and say, even if Chahar Khan arrived in Karaqin, the Ming court should also timely assist the right-wing Mongolian tribes, and even send an army to Weining Haizi to demonstrate to Chahar Khan, Chahar Khan is a tired and hungry crowd and has a request for Ming, He must not dare to openly tear his face with the behemoth of the Ming Kingdom, and he will never dare to rashly attack the right-wing departments, so that the right-wing departments are grateful to the Ming Dynasty and will hold on to the thighs of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Kingdom can at least stabilize the periphery of the three towns of Jizhen, Xuanfu and Datong. ”

Li Fugui suddenly became excited: "But what did the Ming Imperial Court do?" They didn't do anything, they didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, Chahar Khan's westward advance would inevitably be defeated and shattered with the right-wing departments, at that time the Mongols not only could not contain Jiannu, but also would become the fat in Jiannu's mouth, Jiannu would definitely not let go of this opportunity, they would take the opportunity to conquer the Mongolian tribes, and turn the Mongols into their accomplices, you look at it, when they surrender to the Mongols, the flames of war will surely burn to Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong, the Great Wall is full of loopholes, purely ornamental, Jiannu can enter the customs from where he wants, and he can encircle the Beijing division if he wants to, and the north of the Ming Dynasty must be a piece of erosion, and the Ming Kingdom will build a fort in western Liaoning all day long. ”

"Then what are you asking me to do in the Ming Army, I might as well find a place to hide." Li Yu screamed.

"Stupid, now that the world is in chaos, where can you hide? I asked you to come to the Ming Kingdom because the Ming Kingdom has a population and property, and if you want to do great things, you have to go to the Ming Kingdom, understand? How much can you do with those Mongols, they're short-sighted guys who can't do anything serious. ”

Li Yu shook his head and said: "Those people in the Ming Kingdom can't do serious things, and besides, I don't want to do big things for the Ming Imperial Court." ”

"Who wants you to do great things for the Ming Kingdom, does the Ming court seem to be able to do great things? Won't you go to Mingguo to mess around? You'll always be in trouble! You'll come back and help the folks here, understand? Li Fugui was a little angry.

"I see, I'll mess around!" Li Yu thought about it and answered, turned his head and wanted to leave.

"Wait, you give me some more money," Li Fugui immediately stretched out his hand, Li Yu touched a piece of silver to him with an unhappy face, Li Fugui nodded and said sincerely: "Yuzi, I know you also need money, but I want to do a good thing for the villagers, only you can help me, we Fengzhou Tan mu produce seven or eight buckets of grain, and the people are short of food!" If my potatoes are planted, everyone will never go hungry again, and the villagers will remember what is good for us. ”

Li Yu made up his mind to leave, Chen Erzhu and Liu Shishi rushed to connect everywhere, Baita Village and several surrounding villages came at once more than 70 people, all of them had horses, all of them were the kind of stick boys who could eat, drink and fight, and couldn't afford to manage at home, Wuhai and Buck also came to more than 30 people, Baita Village was lively all of a sudden, and no one cared about Taiji and officials on Fengzhou Beach - it was common for people to go to Mingguo to eat in the famine year, especially the Bansheng group of Han people who lived here more and less and no one cared.

When Ulan heard the news, he hurried over, and when he saw Li Yu, he asked, "Is Hadari going with you or staying here?" Does the kiss robbery thing still count?

Li Yu replied without hesitation, Hadari still follows you, whoever dares to marry you will definitely snatch you back. Wulan left happily when she heard this, she felt that this was a good thing, several elders in her family had the titles of Tongzhi and Governor of the Ming Kingdom, but they were all false titles, if Li Yu came back from the real job of guerrilla in the Ming Kingdom, she would also have a glow on her face.

At the beginning of October, Li Yu took the 30 or so soldiers of the former Bayala battalion contacted by Wuhai and Bak and Chen Erzhu, Liu Shishi and other 70 young people from Bansheng to bid farewell to their relatives, and left Kuku and Tun and went straight to the Yanghe border wall of the Ming Kingdom.
