Of course, the little leader would not ask about such things, but he just took a thick wool cloak and wrapped it around Zhou Daniu, and then led Zhou Daniu to the side of the abandoned military platform.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the smallest defense facility on the border is the fire road pier, a pier only has a team of soldiers, the scale of more than ten people, there is a small courtyard, there is a pier fort about three zhang high, you can enter the pier to defend in case of police, there are wolf dung and hay on the top of the pier, and the wolf smoke is lit when encountering a large enemy attack...... The function is the same as that of the beacon.

The next layer is the military platform, a military platform around about 300 steps, there are dozens of garrison soldiers, there will be a small number of cavalry, a military platform may be the core of many fire road piers, encountering a small group of enemies can be led by the garrison army of the military platform, the defense army everywhere to do the battle together, and then the upper layer is a variety of military forts, each town on the nine sides has a large number of military forts, the military fort is the core of defense, the importance is actually in the inner town of the city and the acropolis.

The large military fort is wide and several miles, like a small county town, the city is high and steep, the defense facilities and living areas are very large, a military fort can garrison more than a thousand people or even thousands of people, for example, Xinping Fort in Datong Town is stipulated by the Yang and East Road generals to garrison, the number of soldiers is 1,600 people, as for Zhangjiakou Fort, it was originally a military fort, because it is very important, there are many soldiers stationed, and later because of a number of important official roads, it is the gateway to Beijing, Zhangjiabao has developed very strongly, and the ordinary city is not comparable to it, The garrison horses are even more terrifying.

The waste military platform in front of you is a typical ordinary Taiwan city, the circumference is about 300 steps, the height is about three zhang or more, the base is one zhang high, all are blue stone to build the city, the national dynasty built the city because it is customized during the Taizu period, regardless of the bricks and stones are engraved with the names of the undertaking officials and craftsmen, so other things are loose, only the building of the city has not been changed for hundreds of years, this military platform has been abandoned for many years, the base is solid as before, but there are a lot of weeds, although it is a harsh winter, the withered yellow weeds are still revealed from under the snow, showing the unyielding and tenacious life of life.

Of course, Zhou Daniu will not have any emotion and touch, there are many such military stations in Liaodong, and there is one every few miles, and he has seen too much.

Along the Hetao area of the Liaohe River, there are hundreds of fire road piers and countless military forts, outside the side wall is Mongolia, the border wall of Liaodong from Jiajing to Longqing and the early years of Wanli has been broken several times, the Mongols have been attacked under the city of Liaoyang, that is deep in Liaozhong, there is no abandoned military platform in Liaodong, Zhou Daniu knows how to enter the military platform, he is very familiar with turning to a side angle, turning the base, he will see the tall military platform city gate.

On both sides of the gate were yards of firewood as high as a mountain, and on top of it was a shallow layer of snow, and more than a dozen people were carrying firewood, their hands wrapped in cloth, their faces and ears were frozen purple, and they were carrying their feet while carrying it.

There was also a stable at the entrance, with dozens of horses huddled together, their noses spewing white air, and the horses' hooves cut the snow to reveal the yellow dead grass and black ground underneath.

"There's a lot of pole heads in there." The leader of the gate guard saw that Zhou Daniu had returned, and while calling someone to report it, he laughed in a low voice: "The big cabinet was originally a little depressed, but seeing them coming, my spirit was boosted a lot." ”

Zhou Daniu was a little puzzled in his heart, the Military Intelligence Bureau should have had contact with Yu Shiqian before, and Yu Shiqian should have understood the current situation...... Zhang Han and the Inspection Department didn't have anything to do with him, they just let him use it to raise his own respect, could it be that he was instigated by a group of bandits, and Yu Shiqian's mind changed again?

After a while, a Yu Shiqian's personal soldiers ran out and led Zhou Da Niu to the general hall of the military platform, the place is wide, there are more than a dozen fires lit in it, the lit firewood is blazing, the temperature in the hall is very high, the aroma of wine and food comes to the face, seeing Zhou Da Niu come in, Yu Shiqian put down the knife to cut the leg of mutton, and said happily: "The big cow is back, everyone in charge, this is my right-hand man, the original border army of Liao Town." ”

There were a lot of people in the house, and Zhou Daniu also clasped his fists in all directions and said, "I've seen you all in charge below." ”

Everyone got up one after another to return the salute, Zhou Daniu saw that Lao Zhou was also inside, those who got up were all evil-looking, not good people at first glance, but there was a man in his thirties next to Lao Zhou, although he was dressed plainly, but his face had a noble spirit that could not be hidden.

"Light the lamp underneath."

"Sweep the floor under the king."

"Fly on horseback."

"In the next tiger."

"Shoot the sky down!"

It seems that these poles have just come over, and everyone is also introducing themselves, and when they introduce themselves, they stand up and hug Yu Shiqian, and Yu Shiqian also gets up and hugs his fists in return.

Zhou Daniu knew that this was Yu Shiqian's arrogance reduced a lot, in the past, Yu Shiqian's old subordinates were all border troops, looking down on bandits, plus the snowballing of people and horses along the way more and more rolls, these bandit leaders have more than one or two hundred, and there are only a few dozen people, although the bandits are decent, in fact, they are not the best in terms of fart, Yu Shiqian has never looked down on these people before, and now it is considered to be a broken knot, it seems that the blow to him in the previous war is really not small.

"Everyone, there must be something going on here." Yu Shiqian said: "We are all characters with our heads in our hands, don't hide it, if you have something to say!" ”

Among these people, Lao Zhou is the main backbone, when the second week ambushed Zhang Han was killed, his subordinates were killed and injured a lot, and then the rest were attached to Lao Zhou, this guy was bent on avenging the leader who died before, and he also ran to Yu Shiqian early, and he was the one who instigated him to Lingqiu.

"Big cabinet." Lao Zhou was still polite, and arched his hand: "We underestimated the power of Zhang Han after the previous defeat, no wonder the brothers under the big cabinet didn't do their best." Now that the matter has come to this, the loss of the big cabinet is not small, and it can't be calculated like this. In the following meaning, Zhang Han from Lingqiu to Xinpingbao everywhere there are shops and caravans, his foundation is big, big also has big disadvantages, let's make trouble for him everywhere, tell him to start fires everywhere, after a long time, he has no money to raise soldiers, and when he is weak, let's level his Li Zhuang again, we have to avenge the previous revenge. ”

Yu Shiqian shook his head and said, "That person is too powerful, I don't plan to win with him." Here is the cat for a winter, and when the spring is open, you still have to find a way to go, you want to seek revenge on him, I won't stop it, but I won't mix it either. ”

"Listen to me," Lao Zhou didn't give up, but still persuaded: "Our group of people has been in the mountains for a long time, and the officers and soldiers can't do anything about us, so a patrol and archers can scare us?" ”

The bandit leader who had just called the sky to shoot the sky interjected at this time: "That Zhang Han doesn't have two birds, we also hijacked his convoy, what's the matter, it's not good." ”

Yu Shiqian just shook his head and said: "My old subordinates have broken a lot, I won't tell you, I also have an appointment with Zhang Han, he will let us go, and we will not cause trouble for him." ”

At this time, he looked at Zhou Daniu and said, "If it weren't for my old subordinate, I could put it back?" Do you think that Zhang Han is a good man and a woman? ”

Yu Shiqian, these bandits in front of him, still look down on them in his bones, they have some manpower, there may be one or two thousand people in total, but most of them have not received serious military training, and they also lack good weapons, Yu Shiqian and Zhang Han drove horses and fought with a dignified method of battle in a dignified battle, and the battle was lost too badly, resulting in a great psychological shadow on him, otherwise he would not have agreed to Zhang Han's conditions.

Lao Zhou and others persuaded him to have a dry mouth, but Yu Shiqian was always unmoved, only asked people to keep serving wine and food, and the politeness was very good, everyone wanted to make the law exciting, but they remembered Yu Shiqian's murderous reputation and those pro-soldiers with big knives and spears outside...... Think about it or forget it.

At this time, the man next to Lao Zhou spoke: "Yu Dajiao, I want to ask, how can I revive your ambitions?" ”

Yu Shiqian stared at this person, if ordinary people were stared at by this poisonous snake-like eyes, they would have been afraid, but that person was not afraid at all, his eyes met Yu Shiqian's, and he did not flinch.

"You're not a pole, and you're not a pole head." Yu Shiqian got up and shouted: "Who are you, dare to make a ghost here with me, aren't you afraid of peeling your skin!" ”

"Below is the one who puts life and death out of the way." The man's face turned pale, and he got up and said, "If the big cabinet is willing to listen to me, he will die without complaint." ”

"Okay, it's a man, tell me about it."

"In the ...... of Xia Fan Yongdou"

"Huh?"

Many of the people present did not know the identity of this man, and at this time, everyone jumped up, and there was a sense of disbelief in their eyes.

Whether it is Shanxi or Beizhili, as long as it is not the kind of farmer who is closed to news, I am afraid that there are not many people who don't know who Fan Yongdou is.

"Good guy, Fan Da Proprietor is actually messing around in our group, who will believe it?"

Yu Shiqian licked his lips and rubbed his hands...... Fan Yongdou's fame is far above Zhang Han, saying that he is worth millions, he will definitely not run, no matter who Fan Yongdou comes with, or what purpose he comes, as long as he ties his ticket, hundreds of thousands of silver are afraid that he will get it, and with money, he can do anything!

"Yu Da Cabinet, you don't have to fight the idea of below......" What kind of person Fan Yongdou is, Yu Shiqian's thoughts he understood at a glance, and he smiled bitterly at the moment, and said: "The business war between Zai Xia and Zhang Han was lost very miserably, the family foundation was almost lost, and the people in the clan are not convinced by Zai Xia now, the patriarch and suzerain of the Fan family have to be replaced, and the assets of the Changfang under are used to appease everyone's anger, not only the floating wealth is lost, but even the land and property are completely gone, no matter what the big cabinet wants to extort, it is difficult to get it." ”

The Fan family is indeed in the bag, and the loss is very miserable, the business war that lasted for a year, Zhang Han entered, Fan Yongdou sold at a low price, and almost always made a loss-making business, and finally lost the hard work of Yusheng and Chang Wei, and everyone lost hope after losing the business route, of course, including those gold owners and bigwigs who supported Fan Yongdou behind them.

There is a chain reaction of failure, first the funds can not operate completely, and then the branches around the country are in losses and turnover is not working, and then there is the loss of share capital, many shareholders withdraw their shares, the Fan family broke their teeth and sold the land to give people back, you must know that those shareholders are not vegetarians, there are quite capable big people in it, otherwise they can also climb the relationship with the big people, the Fan family can't fall and people don't care, if you dare to pay the bills, it is not only a matter of bankruptcy, the family is also light to eat in prison!
