It's no wonder that Zhang Han is doing this, under the deliberate suppression, the tribes of Su Nang and Bu Nang are extremely angry, it is expected that they will make a move at the beginning of summer, but no one can say the specific time, it may be the beginning of summer, it may be the cool time of autumn, or even the end of autumn, and it is not easy to say even if these people just endure it...... The Mongols have long ceased to be the martial arts of the year, Bu Shitu also wanted to do something when he first succeeded to the throne of the Khan, and Huo Luochi concentrated the army to prepare to start, and then the Ming court put a little pressure, and the three ladies persuaded him, and he broke off his thoughts, and he was relieved to be his Great Khan, even a Great Khan is like this, even if Su Bao and Bu Bao admit it, what can they do?

Now it seems that it is still the trouble of the East Captives in Liaodong that has given these people courage, since the Ming Dynasty can't even keep Liaodong, and now the main force is used in Liaodong, and his side is mainly attacking Xinpingbao, only making trouble on the border, and it won't matter if he thinks about it.

On the one hand, he was persecuted, and on the other hand, he was emboldened by the affairs of the Dongyu, all the cloth and Su Bao were mobilized, and they blatantly killed to the border, and they did not pay attention to the constraints of Bu Shitu, which must have caused an uproar on the grassland, and it is estimated that the movement is great, but Bu Shitu is not good to break openly with these two Taiji, the Mongols still hate the Ming Dynasty in their bones, and the two Taiji do it themselves, but the Great Khan showed them for the Ming Dynasty, and it spread, and the Great Khan of Bu Shitu was discredited.

Sun Jingting said: "Do you want to send someone from the Military Intelligence Bureau to sneak out and inquire about the news of Datong and Jingshi?" ”

Zhang Han shook his head and said: "Let's wait, we have done what needs to be done, we have to wait for the news calmly, don't be too anxious." ”

Kong Minxing said with a smile: "I haven't panicked, Datong has not had any border troubles for decades, and it's good to have a long experience." My brother is in Baoding, I am afraid that until Wen Fujun leaves office, there will be no chance to see such a scene again. ”

Zhang Han thought about it, Dongyu had to wait until the second year of Chongzhen to break through the side wall and enter the Gyeonggi area, and if Kong Minxing didn't have anything else, he really didn't have much chance to see the scene in front of him again. However, as long as he is a guest or an official in the Gyeonggi area, it will not end well. This point must be paid attention to in the future, and this friend cannot be accidentally suffered.

Li Shenming said at this time: "We are all people who have their own things on our bodies, this time we are doing this marriage for Wen Lan, of course, the distinguished guests who come are mainly Zheng Bingbei, but we also have our own identities, we all have things at hand, it is rare to get together, I see everyone hurry back to eat and drink, and happily wait for the night to make trouble." ”

Everyone laughed and said, "That's true! ”

Everyone laughed at Zhang Han with bad intentions, although Zhang Han was a human being in two lives, it was really the first time that he was troubled by someone, and he said in a panic at the moment: "You must leave some face." ”

Everyone ignored him, and surrounded him and went down to the city tower, only Li Dongxue's status was poor, he just pursed his lips and smiled, and followed everyone all the way.

There are also some border barracks stationed on the castle tower. There were 1,600 soldiers in the fort, and there were more than 900 of them, and Lai Tongxin ate more than 300 empty quotas. There are also 300 vacancies for the rest of the military attachés to eat, and a thousand total has to eat at least 50 vacancies, an income of several hundred taels of silver and a few hundred stone grains a year, and then take a part of this silver out to raise a dozen or so family members, and some of the military attachés of the Jiangmen who are wealthy have Shitian income, and the family can raise more.

Seeing more than 900 people, plus more than 200 family members, it is really about 1,100 people, which is not a small number, but the battalion soldiers lack clothes and wear less, the equipment is very poor, and they rarely wear armor, of course, it is impossible to train, they can only fill the number of people standing on the fortress wall, but fortunately, they can't attack, they are used to garrison the city, shoot arrows, throw wood and stones, but they still do it.

The day before yesterday, Lai Tongxin personally led his subordinates to rush into battle, relying on him and the generals at all levels, the family members are very brave, they are very wealthy, do not worry about food and clothing, usually have to boil the body, practice strength, archery, riding, horse fighting, these are the cost of their meals, a family, to change the surname and change the name, all the life with the head of the family, the head of the family is honored on their glory, the head of the family is unlucky they will also be down, even if the generals of the Ming Dynasty are transferred, the family is also followed, loyalty is no problem, but Lai Tongxin's impact has no effect, He only went out about 200 people, and there were hundreds of professional armor soldiers under the command of Bu Bao and Su Nang, and they rushed out to fight against each other, plus thousands of herdsmen pulled bows and arrows, more than a dozen Ming soldiers died, and dozens of people died on the other side, but of course the Ming army returned in the end, after all, the number was too small, and more than 200 people rushed out, and they had the guts, but unfortunately it was useless.

Of course, this situation is only to defend the city, and everyone knows that the Tartars are not good at attacking the city, but the 20,000 Tartars are surrounded by the fort of several miles, densely packed with yurts, and the laughter and talking of the Tartars came at night, and everyone still couldn't help but panic in their hearts, but at this time, looking at the appearance of Zhang Han and his party, it seems that they are not under siege, and the 20,000 Tartars outside the fort have not been taken to heart at all.

"Amazing big man, watching him laugh with those guys, we feel more at ease." A battalion soldier in his forties sighed: "It's amazing that we have produced such a person in Xinping Fort for so many years!" ”

"Lao Ding, your son is a little guy in someone's business, right?" Another battalion soldier quipped, "No wonder you're so boastful." ”

Lao Ding held a broken gun in his arms, and said with an unhappy face: "My Lao Ding is not that kind of person, I have never been greeted by Shangguan, my kid has never even seen the face of the proprietor Zhang a few times, let alone speak, he heard good things about him behind my back?" Besides, the young man in Yusheng, who eats well, wears well, and takes the monthly example, and teaches literacy, what's wrong with me praising others? ”

"That's it, I'm joking with you." The battalion soldier said with envy: "My son is too young, otherwise he would have been sent to Heyusheng, look at the style of others, it's really amazing." ”

"The people around Zhang Dongzhu are also amazing, the one surnamed Li and the one surnamed Kong, I heard that they are both masters."

"We have a lot of merchants in Xinpingbao, and there are really few people who can make friends with old men like Zhang Dongzhu."

"Of course he is not afraid, he has confidence, and he has soldiers at hand."

"That's not called a soldier, it's a merchant archer."

"Archers?" The battalion soldiers looked at each other, and they all smiled bitterly: "We are soldiers, can we compare with other people's archers?" ”

Zhang Han's business group in Xinping Fort has successfully practiced two divisions, Qingcheng Division and Xinping Division, and Li Zhuang's first division and second division, Lingqiu's Iron Field Division Chengwei Division is a total of six divisions, and Tianchengwei Zhenwei's business group has a division, a full seven divisions of nearly 4,500 people, these so-called "archers" are scattered, scattered over a radius of hundreds of miles, although people know that Zhang Han's business group and inspection archers are very elite and very well trained, but no one will think about it carefully, If these thousands of archers were gathered together, what a terrifying and formidable force it would be.

Zhang Han's archers, whether they were the archers of the merchant group, or the archers of the Inspection Division, whether they were Lingqiu, Tiancheng Zhenzhu Wei Merchant Group, or the merchant archers of the two divisions of Xinpingbao, almost all of them were poured out of a mold, and they were generally the same. The experienced officers and archers of the Inspection Division will also be transferred to other newly formed merchant groups, and there are some bandit dens left on the East Road, so there is nothing to call the archers to train, so if they practice a few times, their courage will be trained, although there is still a gap in combat experience with the archers of the Inspection Division, but on the whole, there is not much difference.

Now there are more than 650 people in Xinping Fort, plus more than 1,000 people of the Ming army border army, guarding this military fort specially prepared for war, not to mention that the Mongols are only about 20,000, even if you add zero, there is no big problem in garrison.

When the North is strong, it is often a mistake, the side wall is easy to break through, there are only a dozen people on those fire road piers, or they are pulled out, or they are surrounded, the more they go to the inside of the Ming Dynasty, there are many fortresses, and there are many military platforms, it is difficult for the North to break through these places, this time the Huamen Fort was broken, the main reason is that the defense is weakened, and it is caught off guard, if it is under normal circumstances, they can't break a small fort like Huamen Fort.

On the contrary, the more inland, those ordinary states and counties, although there are larger cities, but these cities are not as good as the border military forts to focus on border defense, and the defense is much looser, and more importantly, there are no soldiers, there are not many soldiers in Xinping Fort, but even if there are no archers, it is a serious army of more than a thousand people, and this kind of military fort is much more difficult to fight than the capital city in the interior.

So don't look at the people of the north outside, the lineup is as vast as the sea, the people in the fort are still stable, as long as Lai Tongxin does not go crazy, open the door of the fort and go out to fight a decisive battle with the north, otherwise this military fort will definitely be able to hold, now the past few decades have been peaceful, the old man over sixty years old remembers the early years, when he was not surrounded two or three times a year, is it still called Xinping Fort?

……

Zhang Han came down from the north gate and walked on the widened street, looking at almost everything in front of him related to He Yusheng.

On both sides of the north street is the head office of the mule and horse and the head office of the account office, as well as the silver store, and on the other side is the façade of the main store and a large area of storage area, where at least 2,000 houses were bought by He Yusheng or built by himself, near the north gate, more than half of the pedestrians on the street are people from He Yusheng.

Seeing Zhang Han coming, many people he didn't know stood on both sides of the street to salute him, and some people wanted to kneel, but they were pulled by the old qualifications, the proprietor didn't want people to kneel, and he didn't like to pat the horse, as long as there were useful talents, this was already a well-known thing.

Zhang Han had to slow down and greet the people on both sides, and the further he went, the more people greeted him.

In the eyes of some big proprietors, Zhang Han is still just a junior after all, even if the career is big, there is no need to turn it in, and he doesn't need to ask him for anything, but now when they greet Zhang Han, they are full of gratitude, even a little humble.
