The people lay on their stomachs in the city and looked north...... Still nothing was seen, only the wind blew by, the grass on the grassland was high and low, up and down, people saw a herd of yellow sheep passing not far away, the head sheep in front, a large group of sheep behind, while chewing the grass, while going northwest along the lake.

Li Shouxin had just been teaching a group of soldiers to use firearms, and most of these soldiers were recruits in the past two months, except for a few veterans, and the military training they received was intermittent, and later the Military Command Department and the General Staff Department decided to use the troops to defend the fort, and last month they began to reduce the amount of work for the soldiers and increase the length of military training, even so, the combat skills of the soldiers are still very weak, and they need to continue to strengthen their training.

Zhang Han looked at the group of people around him, except for Jiang Yi, who had been following the old man for a few years, most of them had known each other for a short time, he felt the existence of change, and sighed.

"My lord," John Tang said on the side, "the barbarians have not arrived for a long time, will the war stop?" ”

"No, it won't." Zhang Han smiled: "You don't know the Mongols...... It's not that they don't want to come, it's just that they have too much to prepare, they are too chaotic internally, and their leaders are weak, so they delay time. However, the situation has developed to such a point that they will either come to fight, and next year we will build hundreds of forts and military platforms, and organize and train a large number of troops, and at that time they will not be able to fight if they want to, no matter how stupid they are, they will understand this truth, and they will always have to fight a dozen. ”

Tang Ruowang was thoughtful, and only said after half a ring: "In Chinese, it is a dangerous war, why do you insist on this war, and do you have to risk yourself?" ”

"Because there are things that have to be done," Zhang Han muttered, "Sometimes I wonder if I'm an arrogant person...... Our Ming Dynasty seems to be peaceful now, in fact, there is a crisis in our civilization, fortunately you are here, I have learned a lot of things from your civilization, and now it is time to test my achievements, I hope to finish what should be done as soon as possible, so that the people of the whole world can live a rich and civilized life as soon as possible, and our country will become better. ”

Tang Ruowang was dumbfounded when he heard it, he felt that Zhang Han was not arrogant, but a little crazy.

In addition, John Tang did not feel that there was anything wrong with the Ming Kingdom that Zhang Han said, he felt that the Ming Kingdom was a treasure given by God, the land was huge, the people were rich and civilized, the people were strong and obeyed the law, the army was strong and large, and the central court controlled a huge land like Europe with a civilian system instead of nobles and military generals, which was a great achievement, and John Tang did not feel that Europe was more advanced than China...... Although he had set foot on Chinese soil, it was to proclaim the glory of the Lord, and as for the occupation of colonies everywhere, it was a sin, and out of greed for money, and compared to the restrained and unexpansionist Chinese, the countries of Europe were just a bunch of bandits.

The only regret is that Chinese does not believe in God...... This people are very strange, as if they don't care about all religions, unlike other countries that John Tong knew, many of which are either idolatry or monotheistic, very firm in their beliefs, difficult to reverse, and require long-term persuasion and even the use of force, in China it seems that everyone is not averse to the new religion, and even easy to believe, but John Tong feels that it is particularly difficult to proselytize...... For Catholicism, it is difficult to define the customs of ancestor worship of the Chinese, is it a religion or just a custom?

Zhang Han also felt that Tang Ruowang did not understand his words...... At this time, Europe was indeed not much more advanced than the Ming Dynasty, but Zhang Han learned from the advanced experience of Europe in the hundreds of years from cultural revival to modern times, compared with the stagnation from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty, Europe has been developing, and what Zhang Han wants to learn is of course the achievements of those hundreds of years of development.

At this time, Li Shouxin and others greeted him, Li Shouxin said: "My lord, the recent captivity and sentry activities have been more powerful, if you want to go to the area of Xiaoheihe Fort, the risk has increased, and it is not safe here, the best decision is that the adults should immediately go south now, and return to Xinpingbao to preside over the overall situation." ”

Zhang Han said: "I feel that Jining Fort is very important here, and it would be a good thing if the captives really came here in a big way and were attracted here. I don't have to rush to leave for the time being, I'll see. ”

Dark clouds drifted in the distance, covering most of the grassland, Li Shouxin and others entered the grass curtain to continue training, Zhang Han looked at the black clouds, and said in a low voice: "The wind and rain are coming!" ”

……

Bu Shitu Khan wears golden cotton armor, the top of his head is a silver petal helmet, inlaid with green and red gems in the center, this set of clothes is still Altan Khan's treasure, because of the good storage, after several generations still shine as new.

Beside him were Taiji such as Ah Cheng and Xi Lingse, as well as more than a dozen Taiji from the two departments of Tushetu and Zasaktu...... The Chechen Ministry did not send Taiji, only one or two small Taiji came in their own private names.

More Taiji were the Taiji of the Tumut Department and the Harashen Ministry, and even Bai Hong Da Taiji also rushed over, he and Bu Shitu Khan were about the same age, and they established a deep friendship with each other, and Bai Hong would support Bu Shitu in everything.

As Zhang Han now judges, the Mongols still discovered the importance of Jining Fort.

As long as this fort is occupied and many military forts behind it are swept away, this way can completely cut off the connection with Yusheng's east and west roads, and the rest will continue to pull nails, and those military fortresses that Yusheng spent a lot of money to build will be completely useless.

In this place more than 100 miles north of Jining Fort, there are almost half of the elite armored soldiers and a large number of herdsmen in the north of the Tumut and Halashenjia deserts, more than 50 Taiji, each Taiji has a minimum of more than 100 armored soldiers, more than 6 or 700 people, more than 11,000 armored cavalry and more than 90,000 herdsmen, a large herd of cattle, sheep and horses cover the sky and the sun, and if you want to finish the whole camp, you need to run on horseback for a whole day.

Since Tabu Nang found out that Zhang Han was in Jining Fort, even Xi Lingse, Bu Shitu and others also began to rush to the location of the meeting two days ago.

"To raise the army, it should be dominated by Bu Shitu Khan." Bai Hong Da Taiji said to everyone: "The snake can't be without a head, in order to avoid internal friction among us, we should respect the Great Khan." ”

Baihong Dataiji actually has the honorific title of Khan, there are many Great Khans in the Mongolian steppe, there are many Khans in various tribes, and the lamas of the Red Sect and the Yellow Sect are also fueling the flames in this matter, and those living Buddhas have given a lot of honorific titles to the Taiji of various departments, but the real Great Khan is actually only two, Bushitu Khan of Tumut, Lin Dan Khan of Chahar Department, and even the three Khans of Mobei are slightly inferior.

Ah Cheng said: "What Bai Hong Da Taiji said is very true, we should respect the Great Khan and follow his orders. ”

Xi Lingse didn't make a sound, there was no expression on his face, and the Taiji, who had a close relationship with Su Nang and Xi Lingse, didn't say anything.

Geng Ge pulled his beard, showing an unhappy look, he was reluctant to listen to Bu Shitu Khan's instructions, but Baihong Dataiji was his own Great Khan, and he was not good at speaking out against it in person.

Bu Shitu Khan's face turned a little red, and he felt a little embarrassed at this time, he thought to himself, "Damn, it seems that I really want to do this fucking thing?" It's not you who instigated it, I got along well with Zhang Han! ”

"That's it." Bai Hong Da Taiji said with a calm face: "Next, please ask the Great Khan to determine the Taiji who will lead the troops." ”

At this time, everyone looked at Ah Cheng, the seventy or so Taiji present, there were many or so people, but the seniority must be Ah Cheng's highest, and the people and horses were also very strong, Ah Cheng's tribe had more than 5,000 men, more than 700 armor soldiers, and Ah Cheng was considered a soldier in Taiji, and Ah Cheng was in his forties, strong and strong, and had fought with the Ming army in Jizhen, and the opponents were from Dong Yuanbiao to Zhang Chen, who had served as the chief soldier, and among the Taiji present, only a few people had been awarded the title of the first-class military attache of the Ming Governor, and Ah Cheng was also one of them, This is also considered a qualification among the Mongols.

Bu Shitu Khan turned his head and said: "Ah Cheng Taiji, you lead the army for all the troops and deploy a plan to conquer Jining Fort. ”

Ah Cheng was not excited, he said: "This battle is not as easy as you Taiji think......

Xi Lingse said: "We have more than 100,000 people, and the Ming army is only about 1,000 people!" ”

Ah Cheng said with a straight face: "That's not how the battle is counted, our whole clan Ding is eloquent in one million, and Ming Guo Ding is hundreds of millions of people, but Ming Guo still can't do anything about us." Why, because we have a geographical advantage and cavalry, the people of the Ming Kingdom have no choice but to do it in a hurry. Now Jining Fort also occupies an advantageous location, I have been to observe the fort, it is very strong and the design is very exquisite. If we want to conquer this fort, I am afraid that at least a few thousand people will be killed or wounded, and this price is very heavy, and I want to make it clear to you Taiji in advance. ”

Everyone present moved, and everyone felt uncomfortable for a while.

If, according to what Ah Cheng Taiji said, it took thousands of dead and wounded to take this fort, and there are still so many forts under and Yusheng, how can this battle be fought?

Ah Cheng ignored everyone and continued: "Of course, Jining Fort must be fought, the sentry has repeatedly sentry, that Zhang Han is in the fort, no matter what his intentions are, as long as we kill him, most of this battle will be over." If you take Jining Fort, you don't have to rush to attack the fort again, you can sweep their piers all the way, so that the casualties will not be too big, before the winter, completely cut off the small black river and the big black river forts, no matter how much food they have, the firewood will always run out in winter, and they will starve to death if they are hungry. ”

Gruth nodded, "That's pretty much the same, it's a morale booster. ”

Geng Ge said: "If that Zhang Han can be captured alive, I will cut his throat with my own hands!" ”

Ah Cheng said: "Of course, I have to say bad things first, if you want to attack, each Taiji will send people according to Dingkou, and those with few people will also go out according to the proportion, and you can't just ask more people to go up and work hard." ”

All Taiji have nothing to say, and the Taiji who came from Mobei are not willing to work hard, but they can't object at this time.

Bai Hong Da Taiji said at this time: "The various departments will first send people to cut down trees in the northwest area of Erqing Mountain, and then pull wood to make siege equipment!" ”

Bu Shitu Khan shook his head and said: "There are only a few people in the various departments who have attacked the Ming army's city, and the Han people also called Heyusheng's people to take it away...... However, it is better to have a lot of people, and it can always take time to build a car, a rushing car, and a ladder. ”

"Kill the dog!"

Genger drew his knife and swung it in midair.

"Kill all the dogs!"

A group of Taiji drew knives together and shouted loudly.

Countless armoured soldiers and herdsmen shouted together, under the blue sky, above the green grass, everywhere were knights galloping on horses in gray-black coats, people shouted and screamed, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.

Geng Ge and the others laughed happily, such a flourishing of soldiers and horses has not been seen for many years.
