Xuanfu is the northern gateway of Beijing, and there are a large castle such as monolith, Maying, Yunzhou, Chicheng, pine, and Zhangjiakou along the border; In the south of the castle, there are two guards on the left and right of the Wanquan Division, three guards of Xuanfu, Longmen Guard, Longmen Guard, Chang'an and other heavy guards as barriers; To the south of Xuanfu, there are important military towns such as Huailaiwei, Yanqingwei, and Zhenbiancheng to guard the necessary passes to the Beijing Division. Therefore, it is a military stronghold with no shortage of defensive depth.

Zhu Qiming led his army to the old camp on the west bank of the Longmen River, and the top priority was to gain a firm foothold and properly settle the team of more than 5,000 people. He led the crowd to build a stone for the city, and ordered people to transport three hundred firearms made by Luo Han, these firecrackers have great recoil force, and must be placed on a special shelf for actual combat, which is inconvenient to carry, but placed in the passages around the camp, can effectively prevent the sneak attack of Tartars, and its power to block the enemy from a long distance should not be underestimated.

There are also the 2,000 Beijing army, Zhu Qiming knew that it was useless at a glance, and he ordered Tang Ji to train strictly, and send all the cowards and fools who really couldn't take the road back to Beijing.

After the arming and training were on the right track, scattered snowflakes floated in the air, and then they fluttered one after another, and the boundless snow covered the afterimage of the twilight autumn.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Wang Lie broke into Zhu Qiming's barracks, and saw Zhu Qiming contemplating and thinking at a glance, as if he had settled down, so he settled there.

Shi Feng followed Wang Lie closely, standing outside the door angrily, not even looking at Wang Lie, just lowering his head and kicking the gravel under his feet.

"It's cold right now, and I don't know how to raise a stove, cut!" Wang Lie angrily approached the guards and lit the stove with his own hands.

Zhu Qiming quietly looked at the flying snow outside the window, his eyes were shining, and his thoughts seemed to be out of the sky. Suddenly, he felt a heat in front of him, instinctively stretched out his hands to approach the stove, turned his head and met Wang Lie's expectant gaze, and came back to his senses.

"Hey, Your Highness." Wang Lie glanced at Shi Feng outside the door, "Shi Feng, this kid is not kind, he ······ Coaxing an ignorant girl in the East Village! ”

"You talk nonsense!" Shi Feng ran in vigorously, "Your Highness, I led the crowd out to inspect and met a girl named Ah Xiang in the East Village. ”

Encounter? Back and forth? Isn't there a contradiction between the two? , even remember people's names so clearly, and deny a fart! Zhu Qiming only felt funny, "Do you like someone?" ”

Shi Feng's head shook like a rattle, and soon, the shaking head suddenly stopped, and after a while, he lightly clicked. "However, if you have a relationship with her below, you will not be polite."

Yo, and still be polite? Lost my big teeth! Wang Lie snorted lightly, "That Ah Xiang also went to the camp to find Shi Feng, and when Brother Feng and Brother Feng screamed, the flesh was numb!" attracted countless sergeants to watch, Shi Feng is disturbing the morale of the army! ”

"Aren't you yourself in Beijing who has fallen in love with a woman in the northern suburbs, secretly asking someone to talk to the matchmaker, hum, hypocrite!" Shi Feng immediately returned the color.

"It was someone else who came to the door, and I didn't ask someone to talk about the matchmaker! I'm not like you, my husband stands up to the sky, and the beard has not been removed, why do you want to be at home! ”

"Alright!" Zhu Qiming didn't want Wang Lie to continue to make bold remarks, so he hurriedly interrupted Wang Lie's words, "Shi Feng, if you really fall in love with someone else, this king will call the shots for you, send someone to say that the matchmaker married her, and this king ordered someone to build another camp on the side of Nanshan, and the right should be given to you a new house." ”

"Hey, hey, thank you, Your Highness, hey, hey, hey······"

Can this also be done? Wang Lie's face was blank, "Your Highness, forgive me for talking too much, you treat Shi Feng differently, I'm afraid that it will make others have different thoughts." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Qiming patted Wang Lie on the shoulder, "If you get married, this king will treat you like this." Well, since the bloody battle in the north of the year, a group of people have followed this king from birth to death, wandered for many years, and lived to less than fifty percent today, all blame this king for being careless and failing to let you start a family as soon as possible. Even if you want to be a hero, you should leave a legacy behind, and in the future, someone will sacrifice and sweep the grave, it is better than being a lonely ghost! Standing quietly for a long time, he said quietly: "Choose a good day, let's all go to pay tribute to those soldiers who are buried on the east bank of Longmen River." ”

Hearing this, Wang Lie and Shi Feng had a look on their faces, and they no longer engaged in a battle of words.

Tang Ji entered, glanced at Wang Lie and Shi Feng, and the two immediately said goodbye.

"Your Highness, did you send a sentry to lurk at the border pass?" Seeing that Zhu Qiming stretched out his hand to invite, Tang Ji was not polite, and sat down in front of the fire with a big grin.

"No need, just send a sentry to patrol around the camp." Zhu Qiming paused, "The cross-border temptation of Tartar thieves is different from cross-border raiding, in the case of Tartar thieves and robbery, we can't sit idly by and watch the common people suffer, and we have to fight with the Tartar thieves in a bloody battle." As for the temptation, the Tartar thieves just want to try the reality of the guards, and the guards are facing the Tartars, and it is our turn to make a move, so we might as well wait and see what happens. ”

Tang Ji was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness, with all due respect, we are here by order, and it is not good to watch the fire from the other side after all." ”

"It's not called watching the fire from the other side." Zhu Qiming was half-lying on the back of the chair, his eyes were shining, like reflecting the snow outside the door, "What is the reality of the northern border defenders, I am afraid that my Daming himself is also innumerable!" Yang Hong, the governor of the left capital, led the army to guard the Xuanfu, and the king was eager to see his true skills. ”

Over there, Tang Ji's eyes lit up, "Yang Hong of Xuanfu and Shi Heng of Datong, these two are the two fierce generals that my Ming Dynasty placed in the north." Yang Hong has always had the courage to confront the Tartar thieves head-on, which is rare among the generals in the north, could it be that His Royal Highness is suspecting that Yang Hong is not worthy of his name? ”

"No, Yang Hong's bravery cannot be questioned! However, the situation in the north is not what it used to be, the border generals only have courage is far from enough, in the event of a Tartar attack, how to make the Xuanfu castles, the garrisons of the guard take care of each other, each other, this is a big test for Yang Hong, if even Yang Hong, a fierce general who has been on the edge of the town for more than 40 years, can not do this, then, in the future, the war will begin, the Ming Dynasty is not a question of how many chances of victory, but the Ming army will be defeated, it depends on how fast the defeat is! ”

Zhu Qiming got up and walked to the door, and Tang Ji hurriedly followed.

"This king also wants to see the reality of the defenders of Xuanfu clearly, otherwise, if you don't know yourself, how can you win!"

Tang Ji frowned, as if he had realized, "Eh, Your Highness, what you want to see clearly is probably not only the reality of the Xuanfu defenders, right?" ”

Zhu Qiming stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake drifting in the wind, "Not bad!" Between Xuanfu and Jingshi, there are hundreds of miles deep, and there are many dangers in the mountains along the way, and there are several castles densely covered in the only few canyons, and it is not easy to break through these castles one by one. If the Warat people are lucky enough to break through several border stops, and then forcibly take Juyong Pass, regardless of the heavy casualties, even if they take Juyong Pass as they wish, at least it will take more than a month, the war has dragged on for so long, the elite of the Ming Dynasty has enough time to react. Therefore, the Warat people chose to cross the border from Xuanfu and invade Jingshi from north to south, which is the next policy! ”

Zhu Qiming turned around and returned to his seat, "The Warat people have a best strategy there, that is, they choose to attack from the south of Datong, break through the border fortress of Datong, and go south to the plains. ”

Tang Ji put his hand on his cheek, "What His Highness said is very true, but, in this case, why did the Tartar thieves repeatedly cross the border and test on the side of Xuanfu?" ”

Zhu Qiming stared, "This is exactly what this king wants to see clearly!" ”

"Bang ······"

There was a loud sound of fire in the distance, and Tang Ji jumped up suddenly, "There are Tartar thieves?" ”
