In particular, if Emperor Chongzhen had recruited the young and strong cavalry among the Ordos people, and let these people join the 3,000 battalions, or join the Shuofang Town Guard Mansion or the Jiuyuan Town Guard Mansion, he would not have been able to move so many Ordos Mongols to Tibet.

Let's not talk about the question of whether the monks and kings of the Yellow Sect in Tibet will agree to accept it, just say that you want to use the young and strong cavalry of the Ordos people and let them give you their lives, you can no longer treat their families roughly, that is, the old and weak people with more than 30,000 people.

Otherwise, these Ordos cavalry, which were incorporated into the Ming army and rearmed, would be an extremely unstable force that would have been extremely unstable, and they might defect from the Ming army at any time.

And if these old and weak people are not relocated and resettled, but continue to be resettled in the land of the Hetao, then what is the point of recovering the Hetao?!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen knew that the matter of relocating the Mongols from Ordos to Tibet not only sounded incredible, but also must be very difficult to operate, but he finally took the risk and adopted this suggestion.

The reason is that even if the Tibetan monks and kings who gave such a force as the Ordos Mongols to the Yellow Sect in vain, he must completely incorporate the land of Hetao into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Tens of thousands of Ordos people, under the leadership of the living Buddha of Samuteng Osir, passed through the city of Yan'an in an endless stream, and there was already a troop of soldiers and horses sent by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, to take care of the guardianship at the junction of Xi'an and Yan'an Mansion, and continued to sleep overnight, in the dust, all the way to the south.

Li Banghua and others, who saw the Mongol emigration from Hetao to the south, immediately transferred to the established task of rearmament and warfare, and began to send arrows, ammunition, grain and grass, and other war materials from the direction of Ganquanyu to the main operation of the Ziwuling official army.

At the same time, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the three sides, also personally supervised the two horse infantry armies of Cao Wenzhao and Zhou Yuji, escorted a large number of grain, grass and heavy materials, left Huamachi and slowly went south, steadily advancing in the direction of Guyuan.

And the high-morale officers and soldiers of the sentinel cavalry were also scattered by Cao Wenzhao and Zhou Yuji around Guyuan City.

The Northwest War is about to break out.

In the early morning of April 17 in the third year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, about 2,000 cavalry under the command of Cao Wenzhao, the commander of the Wulie Battalion, Tang Jiuzhou and Bagen, were about 2,000 cavalry, and they went all the way south along the dry valley area of the upper reaches of the Qingshui River, and arrived at a high post in the north of Guyuan City.

A Musu barbarian army that was originally ordered to be stationed in the north of Guyuan City, saw a large number of officers and troops coming south, and immediately abandoned the camp outside the city and withdrew into Guyuan City.

In the evening of the same day, Cao Wenzhao, the commander of An Yuanbo, who had received the military intelligence report of the forward, led the main cavalry of the Wulie Battalion, as well as the leader of the Dalat Tribe, Ji Rentai, the leader of the Hangjin Tribe, Sukhbalu, the leader of the Hangjin Tribe, and the grassland cavalry of the Seleng Division, the leader of the West Urat Tribe, came to the plateau north of Guyuan City, began to cut down trees and set up camp.

That night, Zhou Yuji, who succeeded Yang Qi as the acting chief military officer of Dingyu Town, led a large number of horse infantry troops that originally belonged to Guyuan Town, escorted Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the three sides, and his left and right staff, escorted a large amount of grain and grass baggage, and also came to the outside of Guyuan City.

He Yilong, the "Geli Eye" in the garrison city, and Po Ximu, the general of Mu Suman, who originally belonged to the guerrilla army of Guyuan Town, received a report from the rebellious army that had fled back from outside the city, and knew that the official army was about to attack.

That night, when the hour had passed, that is, the so-called three watches and drums, the yamen of the former three governors in Guyuan City was still bright.

The torches in the yamen were crackling, and the faces of the patrol guards who came and went were all nervous and panicked.

At this time, several major leaders in Guyuan City, He Yilong, He Jin, Po Ximu and others, listened to the report of the probe horses, and sat on the chair in the lobby with gloomy faces, each thinking about their own thoughts.

"The officers and troops from the north are coming! And the momentum is not small, I'm afraid that if I don't take Guyuan City, I won't stop the army! Two He leaders, whether our Guyuan City is fighting or defending, advancing or retreating, we have to get an idea as soon as possible! ”

The man who spoke was about forty years old, with a high nose and deep eyes, a full beard, and a small white hat in armor.

This person is none other than Pastor Poxi.

Soon after the Musu Barbarian Army leader of the Guyuan Mutiny occupied Guyuan, Po Ximu, under the pressure of the gathering of officials and troops in the north, decisively changed his flag and attached himself to Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang.

Guyuan is an important position, it is the northern gateway of Pingliang and other places, once Guyuan is lost, Pingliang will face the Ming officials and troops gathered in Huamachi.

Therefore, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang who was familiar with the geography of the northwest, did not dare to be negligent, and first sent his henchman He Yilong to lead the army to sit in the town, and later because He Yilong arrived in Guyuan City, he couldn't recruit many people at all, so he had to send He Jin to bring another battalion into Guyuan.

Gao Yingxiang did this, of course, for his good reason.

On the one hand, it was for the two of them to come here to prevent Po Ximu, who was originally a guerrilla of the official army of Guyuan Town, from appearing repeatedly.

On the other hand, it is also to let these two old brothers follow themselves to the north and expand their territory at the same time, they should quickly recruit rebels and develop as soon as possible, so as not to let the newly recruited Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai troops under their command become too strong and lose control.

In the eyes of Gao Yingxiang and others, as long as there is territory, it is equivalent to everything, such as sufficient soldiers and food.

He Yilong and He Jin also had this idea at the beginning, so the two of them were also grateful to King Gao Yingxiang for letting them lead the army out to expand their people.

However, what He Yilong and He Jin did not expect was that after they led their troops to Guyuan City under the banner of King Gao Yingxiang, they found that their plan to recruit troops here to strengthen the team was doomed to fail.

Because by the time they came to Guyuan City, there was not much population left in Guyuan City, and almost all the remaining population was the white-hat wood speedman who poured into the city from Guyuan City and the surrounding areas of Guyuan.

Faced with such a situation, even the big thieves who have traveled around many places and are "well-informed" are a little dumbfounded.

Because after the Guyuan Mutiny and the Mu Su Man Rebellion, the Han military households and people who did not follow the Yamen of the Three Sides and the General Military Mansion of Guyuan Town to Huamachi were killed by the white-capped Mu Su Barbarians.

When He Yilong and He Jin came to Guyuan City with thousands of "righteous troops" under their command full of anticipation and enthusiasm, they were disappointed to find that there were no Han people in this city who could be coerced by them.

The tricks that have been tried and tested repeatedly in northern Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places have lost their effect.

The fact that the population, which they had thought to be inexhaustible, was suddenly gone, made them feel a kind of unease for some reason.

At the same time, for those doves in the city who occupied the magpie's nest and occupied the houses and property of the Han people, neither He Yilong nor He Jin wanted to recruit or include them under their command.

First of all, whether it is He Yilong or He Jin, they are all real Han people.

If he wants to learn Gao Yingxiang's method to find an ancestor of the Dangxiang Qiang people, or the ancestor of any other tribe, they are really a little ashamed and can't pull off that face.

The reason why they followed Gao Yingxiang on the road of rebellion was because in northern Shaanxi, which was full of displaced people at that time, heroic figures like them did not live happily if they did not rebel.

However, the purpose of their rebellion was not to abandon their true ancestors and find another alien ancestor for their old He family who couldn't beat them!

Especially people like He Yilong are not ordinary reckless characters.

His own family is the He family of Yulinwei in Yansui Town before, in the final analysis, he Shiyu, He Renlong's father and son, He Shixian, the chief military officer and general He Shixian, who died in battle in Liaodong, are an ancestor.
