When he was ordered to dance that day, many Taiji showed a look of humiliation, Xi Lingse was even more pale, and only a few Taiji such as Bai Yin had the same face as usual, and there was no abnormality. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If it weren't for Bai Yin, who has always been brave and good at fighting, and would almost be considered a coward and coward, even so, after the banquet was dispersed, Xi Lingse and the others also had a big quarrel with Bai Yin, who danced first, and finally Batu Taiji spit on Bai Yin's chest and scolded: "Cowardly rats are not worthy of being the descendants of Genghis Khan." ”

Bai Yin was silent about this until the day he left Qingcheng after receiving the order.

Many Taiji resisted this kind of errand, most of them were nobles, and some were descendants of the Golden Family, and now they were not only forced to dance at banquets to show the Han people, but also had to do chores for the Han people...... They surrendered just to save their lives, of course, they also wanted to retain their original status and wealth, if there was nothing left, then it was better to choose to fight to the end.

Bai Yin didn't pay attention to these Taiji's complaints and dissatisfaction at all, until he received the military order, he chose to set off immediately, and led the herdsmen of his headquarters to cooperate with the troops to transport a batch of military supplies to Yunnei.

"There's a desert border ahead." The captain of the army team wiped the sweat on his face, looked at the tough white voice, and said, "We have finally arrived." ”

Needless to say, Baiyin and the Mongols saw the military camps in the desert and steppe areas.

More than 3,000 soldiers and more than 5,000 soldiers and nearly 9,000 people are stationed outside the fort, here is a semi-grassland and semi-desert area not far south from Yunnei Fort, there is very little water source, and it is also the best route for the Ordos Department to go to Qingcheng.

At present, there is only one brigade of soldiers stationed in Yunnei Fort, and the entire regiment of the Second Infantry Regiment is stationed in the south of the fort, and a small number of cavalry are constantly patrolling and guarding along the line of three or four hundred miles from east to west.

Yunnei Fort is northeastward, more to prevent the set of troops, Li Laibin put 1,000 people in the fort, with a large number of firearms stationed, even if the set of more than 100,000 people, it is absolutely impossible to conquer the military fort in a short time.

The soldiers urged the prisoners to unload, there was too much shortage of manpower on the grassland, not to mention that He Yusheng had hired a large number of people and immigrated to the grassland, the population was still far from enough, and if it wanted to develop in the short term, the minimum number of Dingkou needed was hundreds of thousands or even millions.

At present, together with more than 100,000 military personnel, the number is too small.

This is also an important reason why the Han people and most of the herdsmen in Bansheng have been forgiven, mastering such a large territory, if you kill all the people, you want the territory to have a fart, and it is empty everywhere, it is nothing more than repeating the mistakes of the Han and Tang dynasties, when the army is strong, control some strategic points, most of the territory is actually still in the hands of nomads, and the national strength declines, and even the strategic points cannot be kept, and the hard-working territory is re-robbed.

Nearly 50,000 herdsmen and soldiers were captured, and with the exception of a few who fled and refused to cooperate and were killed, most of the captives were collected with weapons and distributed to various departments to atone for their crimes.

In the middle of summer, the Mongols sweated profusely, and they unloaded the military supplies from the camels, and everyone's robes were soaked.

Because of the great logistical pressure, especially the complex geographical environment to the west and north, the mountains and rivers here are intertwined, and the Gobi Desert and the steppe are intertwined, and the pure horse-drawn carriage cannot be used on a large scale until there is a long-term stable round-trip route.

The Mongols and their horse or camel teams solved the problem of logistical supply, and a large number of military supplies were transported from the forts along Qingcheng to Xiaohei River to the north and the area of Yunnei Fort, and this team of Bai Yin Belt was already the second batch of transport teams in the direction of Yunneibao.

"In Xia Baiyin, I have seen General Wang and General Li."

Although the military system of Heyusheng has not changed, Wang Changfu is the officer of the Military Training Department, and Li Laibin is the commander of the second regiment, but Bai Yin is always commensurate with a general, which feels more secure.

Wang Changfu snorted and didn't make a sound, Li Laibin looked at Bai Yin and said with a smile: "It's a Taijili, okay, it's hard, this time you also contributed, wait for the goods to finish." ”

Li Laibin's temperament is very soft, and he is also one of the better tempered senior officers of He Yusheng, Bai Yin has seen a lot of officers with Yusheng recently, and it is rare to see such a pleasant person talking, so he was moved at the moment, and bowed again before retreating.

"Why aren't these Taiji slaughtered?" Wang Changfu has obviously been in a bad mood recently, looking at Bai Yin's back, and the tone of his voice is also very impatient.

"Some are going to be killed." Li Laibin smiled and said gently: "Some want to stay, such as this Baiyin, who is smart and intelligent, and cooperates very well, the adults said in the military discussion that the northern captives are not better than the Han people, and their rank and inferiority are heavier, even if they kill Xi Lingse, they have to find a person with a higher status than him to order, if we want to really control this land, it is not enough to kill alone." ”

Wang Changfu snorted heavily and did not make another sound.

Of course Wang Changfu understands these truths, but the process before and after the capture of Qingcheng is now known here, Liang Xing presided over the war, and finally presided over the entry into the palace of King Khan, and invited Zhang Han to enter the palace by wearing armor and pressing the sword...... He and Liang Xing have the same qualifications, and they are the leaders of the two major mountains in the army, but as a result, the glory of Qingcheng was all won by Liang Xing alone, but he was here to drill sand to watch the sunrise and sunset, and the gap suddenly widened a lot.

"Boss Wang, you don't have to be anxious." Li Laibin said: "Your Excellency will definitely let you out to lead the troops." In the future, three regiments will be one army, you will definitely be a general, fight a few battles, and your prestige will not rise again. Liang Tou'er took Qingcheng, and you will win Baicheng in the future, and you will not be worse than him. ”

Wang Changfu didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Everyone stood in armor and sword under the scorching sun, everyone was sweating, but no one complained, and no one thought of hiding comfortably in the tent of the barracks, everyone stared everywhere, although there were sentinels moving more than ten miles away, everyone still tried their best to look into the distance, as if they wanted to find a trace of the northern captives.

Yes, these people are just asking for war, and everyone is eager for reinforcements from the Ordos Department to come quickly, so that they can fight happily.

"More than ten days have passed, if Beiyu really dares to come, at least the striker should have arrived." A soldier commander muttered as he untied the water bladder at his waist and began to gulp down the water.

Seeing his action, even Wang Changfu began to drink water.

Under the scorching sun, the iron armor on people's bodies is emitting heat, and they feel hot when they touch it.

What is gratifying is that in addition to the officers standing like this, a large number of infantrymen on duty are also standing like this, the whole team is quiet, the soldiers are not as free as the officers, they are standing straight, each shift is at least half an hour, and when the guard is changed, there is a puddle of water under the feet of each soldier, which is sweat flowing from the body.

Just when everyone thought that it was vain again, several sentinels rode back from the distant place where the heat was steaming, and the place where they ran was pure desert terrain, only a small bush mixed in, and the horses kicked and ran over, and the sky was full of sand and dust.

Wang Changfu felt sand scurrying into his mouth, he spat and scolded: "This dog-day place, it's really birds don't." ”

Li Laibin said: "Let's go straight to the south to the desert, and then to the south is a piece of bald mountains and rivers, and then there is the middle set of water and grass fertile, the east set, the middle set, the west set, facing Yansui Town, somehow lost the best territory, leaving some poor mountains and bad water to guard." ”

Wang Changfu said: "This is not simple, a good place is not easy to keep, and the northern captives come from top to bottom, coming from all sides, and they can't be kept." I have seen the side wall and military fort map of Yansui Town, all under the valley river, through the valley river and salt pond beach to guard, the fort is densely repaired, and this is the only way to defend it. ”

Li Laibin said: "During the Yansui Chenghua period, there were 50,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 horses, 36 military forts, and more than 20 passes. ”

"You know a hanging." Wang Changfu took another sip and said: "There are already few guards in the military fort and the fire road pier, they are all old and weak to eat, and they will starve to death if they leave the barracks, and the strong ones are in the hands of the deputy generals and general soldiers of the three routes, adding up to no more than 20,000 people, there are still 10,000 horses, and 58,000 soldiers, who would dare to have such a big dream in the autumn season." ”

Although Li Laibin was scolded, he still nodded slightly, and the officers present laughed.

Wang Changfu, a general who was born as an old border soldier, couldn't be clearer about the disadvantages of the Ming army. After so many years, those who deserted, those who ate empty quotas, the generals drank the blood of the soldiers, and there was not one out of ten soldiers in the barracks, and it would be good to have more than 10,000 people left.

As he spoke, the sentry had already reached the front of everyone, and after raising his hand and saluting on his horse, the sentry said: "One hundred and ten miles to the south, we found the sentry of the northern captives, and after the battle, we killed three of them, and one of us was slightly wounded, and continued to chase forward for more than ten miles, and found that the number of northern sentry cavalry increased, and we did not dare to go deeper, and the team officer called his subordinates to rush back to report the news." ”

Li Laibin frowned and said, "Tell you to patrol the southernmost part of the sentry not to go more than sixty miles, why did you run so far." ”

The territory of the Ordos Department is mainly in the "several" shaped bend between the Yellow River and the Great Wall, more than 800 miles long from east to west, more than 600 miles long from north to south, the middle terrain is mostly mountains and hills, the north is across the river from Qingcheng and Yunnei, the northeast is dominated by the desert area, its core area is the Hetao area in the south, and the radius of hundreds of miles is a land of abundant water and grass. Later, some of the Tumut tribes went to the Western Tract, and the Ordos Department cooperated with the Atlas Division, and they were hostile to the Oirat Mongols and the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions.
