The border barracks in Gansu were shamelessly attacked by the Mongols, and the chief military officer Lu Nianshan was killed on the spot, and the border barracks were almost burned to the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For a time, the indignant people with lofty ideals raised their arms and shouted, wanting to avenge the dead officers and soldiers, etc., which made the Ming Dynasty very lively this winter, completely forgetting the increasing number of displaced people in various places.

The tragic situation in the courtyard of Lu Nianshan's house, under the cover of well-intentioned people, was quickly ignored, and I didn't want to say it, oh, the Mongols also sent killers, infiltrated the city, and directly slaughtered the staff of the chief military officer, as well as a number of captains.

The foreign affairs deacon of Ning Wangfu, who narrowly escaped his life, soon ran back to Nanchang, this goods was frightened, and I am afraid that he will not set foot in Gansu Town in this life.

However, the corpses of two hundred Mongols were found in the border barracks of the Suzhou Guard, which became a good thing for Li Dongliang and the government. With the stubborn persistence of the guards and the local government, and with the strong assistance of the Jinyi guards, they held the city, protected the nearby besiegers, strangled thousands of invading Tartar cavalry, and so on.

It's just that the warning letter left by Tai Tingqi on the official road was handed over to Li Dongliang, and Li Dongliang, who was frightened to death, found out that the Shiguantun Hundred Households Office was actually the work of the incumbent supervisor army, and it was just reported to the governor's office of the right army.

Therefore, Li Dongliang quickly sent people to the gravel fort, scolded the current thousand households, and verbally notified them to revoke the Shiguantun Hundred Households Office, which took effect from now on.

Originally, the military households in Shiguan Tun ran out, and a team of sergeants who were sent to guard later, after receiving the order, quickly packed their luggage and ran back to Laoyangkou Bunker.

Shiguantun's movements were immediately discovered by the surveillance communication team, and dozens of sergeants with pigtails, riding transport vehicles, got up from Eagle Claw Fort and took over the garrison of Shiguantun on the same day.

When more than a dozen Mongolian cavalrymen on war horses appeared on the road leading to the back mountain, the military households of Lao Yangkou Hoarding Fort knew that Shiguantun had been completely discarded.

Xiao Ye, who received Yang Eighteen's secret report, was in a much more relaxed mood, but when he looked at Ximen Wangfu who came to trade, the meaning in his eyes was a little more complicated.

Under an order, Madao Shibao sent a large number of logistics teams to rush to Shiguantun in a transport truck, regardless of the cold weather, and began to use geotechnical bombs on the avenue under Shiguantun Mountain to dig the foundation.

Here, Xiao Ye had to build two tall fort walls and send troops to garrison them to strictly guard and monitor the movement in the direction of the gravel fort; And here, it will also become a key road for trading with Lao Yangkou.

With a large number of skilled craftsmen and a steady stream of high-quality yellow plaster, Wang Dali personally took hundreds of old craftsmen to the land temple to worship the land god, and then directly started work in the cold winter.

When 500 Mongolian fire/spearmen were stationed in Shiguantun, Xiao Ye, Wang Ziliang and Xin Rulin escorted 817 columbariums to Shiguantun Land Temple.

The brothers who died in the war were sent to the Xishan cemetery, and the spiritual seat was also placed in the Land Temple, and Xiao Ye and his party stood in the original Jiazi stone fort, and couldn't help but sigh for a while.

The three coptis trees in front of the temple are getting taller and taller, and the trunk of the tree can not be surrounded by six people, although the branches and leaves fall in winter, but it can be seen that the three huge canopies after the beginning of spring are so eye-catching.

The fort wall, which is five feet high and one mile long, although it is necessary to build two roads, is only a familiar job for the logistics team; A month later, the last piece of stucco stone, under the control of Xiao Ye and Wang Dali, was hoisted high with an iron gourd and placed in the middle of the fort wall.

On the top of the corner fort on the fortress wall, a large banner was raised high, and under the banner of the sword and shield emblem, the Mongolian gunners with fire/guns on their shoulders began to patrol and guard normally under the leadership of the Han Chinese-like chief.

Under the fort wall, there is a doorway hole that is one zhang wide, and there is still no fort gate, but the two heavy machine guns wrapped in oilcloth above the head and the lightning cannon hidden in the corner fort show Xiao Ye's vigilance against the gravel fort.

On both sides of the avenue south of the fort gate, a large number of triangular stone pillars are staggered and densely buried, extending nearly a mile to the south, leaving only a width on the avenue for carriages to pass; As soon as something happens, the sergeant will drop a large number of jumping mines and block the fort gate with Shichai.

This kind of high-intensity defensive posture is thought to be the arrival of the regular Ming army, and it has to be pondered.

After the two fort walls were completed, the logistics team continued to work at the foot of the stone mountain, and it was a rectangular stone fort, which was to be built in the hands of Wang Dali.

In addition to Jin Baoliang's smuggling convoy, which basically put an end to Shiguantun that came and went to the south, there were really few strange faces here, not to mention that there were black-clothed guards who haunted the neighborhood from time to time, strangling those hidden eyeliners one after another, this newly recovered small territory has become a forbidden land.

"As for it? made it so nervous, "Whether it is Li Dongliang or Jiang Bin, as well as the suspicious Fang Shanshui, they all feel a little fuss about the behavior of the Mongols; However, the Ximen Xiao Ye behind this, as well as the worship in the Land Temple, solved their doubts.

In the end, it is still the Han people, who respect their ancestors and worship gods, unlike the Tartars, who are buried on the grassland without even a grave; As a result, the tombs of Xiao Ye's parents also have people to clean up the weeds from time to time, which can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.

"Boom, boom," in the northwest corner of Shiguantun Mountain, not far from the original martial arts field, a large area of cleared open space, a team of sergeants was burying geobombs, and after blowing the solid gravel ground loose, another team of sergeants waved shovels and dug a wide trench.

In the whirring cold wind, a large puff of smoke and dust was quickly blown away by the strong wind.

The dense sentry posts around are all black-clothed guards, and even the sergeants of these two teams are also guards in black uniforms, which shows the importance of this trench in Xiao Ye's eyes.

Not far away, a pig-shaped chariot was parked, Xiao Ye and Wang Ziliang sat on the chairs in the car, looking at the lively scene outside through the window, drinking hot tea carelessly, and a pair of delicate chess pieces were placed on the small table, which was just small enough to spread out on the coffee table.

Wang Ziliang, who was holding a warm hand in his arms, looked at the ditch that was more than a zhang wide, and looked at Xiao Ye in puzzlement, "I said Master Hou,"

"Hey, what is the Hou Ye, it's just to deceive outsiders, let's not talk about this gimmick in private," Xiao Ye smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Liu Ren, there are no outsiders here,"

"Oh, yes, yes, I'm still hypocritical," Wang Ziliang laughed, picked up a walnut from the fruit bowl next to him and played with it in his hand, "Brother Shi Dao, what are you doing, digging such a wide trench,"

"This is not a trench, it's a passage," Xiao Ye shook his head, "The tunnel leading to the Madao Stone Fort is too narrow,"

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when people everywhere began to celebrate the New Year, a deep tunnel in the northwest corner of Shiguantun Mountain, had been reported to Kang Hongyuan They had given them solid stones, a tunnel of height and width, leading to the processing center at the bottom of the mountain.

"Buzz, buzz," when the guards waiting at the entrance of the tunnel saw a black behemoth slowly moving out of the tunnel, they were stunned one by one, and the hand lamp almost fell to the ground.

Two pillars of light, five steps wide and higher than the two of them, Xiao Ye sat on a high place, driving this huge giant / thing, slowly drove out of the tunnel; When the body, which was more than two feet long, drove away from the tunnel, even Yu Shan, who stopped to watch, was shocked and his eyes bulged out.

Xiao Ye, who was smiling, waved in the car, let Yu Shan open the door and enter the car, and pushed the push rod next to his leg to raise the car to ten feet above the ground, "Let's go, let's go back to Ximen Stone Fort first, the other stone forts can't get in,"

The car hanging above the rattan grass quickly left, and the guards who stayed in place, under the supervision of Yang Eighteen, most of them entered the barracks tent to rest, and tomorrow, a circle of walls will be built here, and they will continue to work for a few days.

The huge car traveling through the mountains and fields, bypassing a few mountain beams, slowly drove north, Xiao Ye held the steering wheel, raised his hand and turned on the small light above his head, "Yu Shan, you watch me drive first,"

"It's the brake pedals, you know,"

"This is a forward putter that adjusts the speed, and this is a lifting putter that controls the height of the car,"

Pointing to the two round dials in front of him, Xiao Ye explained, "This is the gauge for the battery stick, and when the pointer reaches the red one, the battery stick will need to be replaced,"

"This is the speedometer, the fastest can, can you run to a hundred, a hundred? What does it mean? Xiao Ye was also confused, no matter what, anyway, this car is for the Shenche camp, and Yu Shan will explore it.

Smack, unscrewed a circular switch, and a stream of hot air erupted around the car, which made Xiao Ye grin suddenly, and then turned the switch, and the heat turned into cool air, "Ha, Yu Shan, now you are going to enjoy it, I don't have this thing in my rat-like chariot,"

"My lord, the name of this car?" Looking at Hou Ye swinging the mechanism in the car in distress, Yu Shan couldn't wait to grab it and drive it himself, for the car, he was much more experienced than Xiao Ye.

"Well, it's called the elephant troop carrier, the name is a bit weird," ignoring Yu Shan, who was grinning, Xiao Ye drove the car excitedly, accelerating and decelerating from time to time, tossing for almost an hour, and then under Yu Shan's guidance, the elephant chariot appeared outside the Madao Stone Fort.

Ma Dao Stone Fort, the guards guarding the stone fort, standing on the wall of the fort, watched a huge monster, whirring close to the stone fort, and suddenly blew a sharp copper flute, dripping alarms, causing a group of indifferent guards to rush out of the military compound, carrying rifles and rushing onto the road.

However, when the hand-lit column on the fort wall shone on the car, the eye-catching sword and shield badge made Lao Hu, who led the team on duty, directly dumbfounded.

"Hehe, these guys, the vigilance is still quite high," In the car, looking at the row of heads popping out of the castle wall, Xiao Ye stopped and rolled down the window.

"Lao/Hu, let Ma Gui come out," After shouting, Xiao Ye pushed the car door and jumped out of the car, and on the wide rear seat, the two guards also got out of the car.

Seeing this situation, Yu Shan hurriedly did it in front of the steering wheel and no longer let Hou Ye toss this new car.

Opening the rear door, Xiao Ye got on the car with a handlamp, and in this spacious carriage, there are ten circular lookouts on the iron walls of the carriages on both sides, and the baffle is opened, and the outside of the car can be seen at a glance.

The four rows of long iron chairs in the carriage, with soft leather cushions on them, could seat forty armed sergeants in one go, but it opened Xiao Ye's eyes.

At the junction of the carriage and the cab, not surprisingly, there was a heavy machine gun erected, pushing the top cover of the roof of the car, pulling the mechanism, the heavy machine gun slowly pushed up, and stepped on the iron ladder to go up, "Click," the slot falcon at the base of the machine gun was locked.

Holding the machine gun and turning left and right, Xiao Ye saw that at the fort gate, several figures hurriedly ran over, and Ma Gui rushed over with the steward of the warehouse, disheveled.

"I said Brother Ma Gui, this Chinese New Year's Eve, if you don't keep vigil well, you must not have done a good job," Xiao Ye's ridicule made this middle-aged man laugh sarcastically.

Soon, a team of young men pushed wheelbarrows and filled the cans in the warehouse, and Yu Shan drove the elephant troop carrier into the vine-covered valley.

Xiao Ye, who was sitting in the back seat, was speechless, he gave Professor Yu Shan the car he knew, but he drove more steadily than himself, and the speed was also fast.

Naturally, the elephant troop carrier also made the defenders of Ximen Stone Fort a sensation, and the triumphant Xiao Ye, reunited with his family in the mansion, but the open space where the car was parked in the stone fort was surrounded by a large group of guards.

"I'm grass, this big guy is really exciting,"

"But no, even the war horses can't catch up when they run, I just saw it with my own eyes on the wall of the outer fort,"

"Don't talk about this, I didn't see this rear carriage, but it can fit five teams of people,"

"No, it can only fit four teams," the noisy guards, but they didn't notice, Yu Shan circled around the car twice, opened the long iron box under both sides of the car, and almost cried when he saw it.

No wonder, no wonder this car runs so fast, rises so high, and can run a hundred miles, I don't see the grooves of this battery rod, there are hundreds of them, both sides add up, damn, two hundred battery rods, when will it be replaced?

After checking the battery rod, Yu Shan was very depressed and went to find Wang Gui, it seems that on the roof of the troop carrier, there are a few big boxes to add, there is not enough reserve battery rod, he does not dare to really run out of a hundred miles away, so he can't come back.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year in 1515, Ximen Wangfu, who had been waiting impatiently in Juyan Lake, finally looked forward to Xiao Ye's military order, and together with the military order, it was a jaw-dropping and imposing convoy.

The earthy yellow assault vehicles and transport vehicles had been packaged and sold by Xiao Ye to United Money Village, and the black convoy in front of him was composed of five transport vehicles, two rat chariots, and two of the largest elephant personnel carriers.

Coupled with Xiao Ye's pig chariot and two transport vehicles left in Ximen Stone Fort, Xiao Ye's accumulated resources in processing neutrality were exhausted again.

Outside the barracks, Ximen Wangfu led a group of commanders and tribal leaders to look at the majestic convoy in awe and slowly stopped in front of him.

Click, the elephant troop carrier led by the convoy, the door opened, and Xue Zilong, dressed in a black uniform, with a box cannon hanging from his waist, strode in front of Ximen Wangfu.

"Your Excellency Jinong, Xue Zilong, the deputy commander of the guards under the Marquis of Ximen, led a guard team of fifty people to support your department," After bowing his hand, Xue Zilong took out Xiao Ye's warrant.

"Ximen Wangfu's department, from now on, the west expedition to the tile spur fortress, Xue Zilong's department will cooperate with the action on its own," the warrant was read, and Xue Zilong handed it over to the lord of this grassland.

"Shingle Fortress?" The corners of Ximen Wangfu's mouth twitched, it was thousands of miles away, and it was also the area with the highest concentration of the Tile Spur tribe, Xiao Ye directly inserted the knife into the heart of the Tile Spur tribe, which was really fierce.

"The big man ordered to try to make an appointment with the Tile Thorn tribe, and the winner will be determined after the decisive battle,"

"In this battle, all the property seized will belong to your department, but half of the population will be wanted by our department, and the rest can be traded with goods and weapons,"

"Yes, I will obey the military order of the Hou Ye," Ximen Wangfu, who was overjoyed, immediately grinned, needless to say, this time the attack on the Tile Thorn tribe was carried out by this deputy commander to make the vanguard, then his cavalry losses would be much smaller, but the gains would be much larger.

The next day, Simon Wangfu sent an envoy to fight the Vāspur tribe on the grounds that the Vāspur tribe occupied a large area of the Tatar region, and the site was chosen on the flat steppe between the Zabkhan River and Lake Ubudsunor.

For this reason, the two sides have fought for many years, and countless warriors have been killed and wounded, and endless blood has flowed, making these two tribes with blood relations become life and death rivals.

Gathering an army of 50,000, Jinong led the iron cavalry out of Juyan Lake, followed by a large number of cattle and sheep, which were used as food and grass for the army.

Xue Zilong's convoy had already set off a day earlier, Xiao Ye's warrant made it very clear that it was up to Xue Zilong's judgment to cooperate with him, he would fight if he could, and he would run if he couldn't, although Ximen Wangfu could think of this, but he really didn't dare to disobey Xiao Ye's military order.

Fortunately, in order to calm Jinong's mood, Xue Zilong let him check his convoy, not to mention the four transport trucks full of battery rods, and in the other transport car, there were twenty heavy machine guns, ten large-caliber mine guns, and piles of ammunition boxes.

The rat chariot and an elephant troop carrier were loaded with all kinds of provisions, and only in one elephant troop carrier, forty guards sat down, and with the guards in the back seats of the cab of these cars, there were only more than fifty people.

That's not all, on the roofs of the nine cars, some iron boxes are tightly strapped to them, which are also full of battery rods.

Seeing such a large number of heavy machine guns, Ximen Wangfu let go of his worries a little, but Xue Zilong's words immediately detonated his mood, "These twenty machine guns, after this battle, Hou Ye will sell them to your ministry at a discount,"

Boom, Ximen Wangfu almost knelt down, with a boom in his head, with these big killing weapons, not to mention a tile spur tribe, even if he continues to plunder westward, it is also within reach.

No wonder Hou Ye only sent less than fifty guards this time, it turned out that he wanted to train a certain number of machine gunners along the way. Or even the gunners can train it.

You must know that behind those small countries in the west, the army is weak, but there is a huge Great Xia Kingdom, which not only has boundless cavalry, but also has a large number of firearms, otherwise he would not just go south to rob the Ming Dynasty.

With this machine gun that can rain bullets, he is not afraid of fighting with the Great Xia Kingdom.

Of course, the shortage of water along the way is also a big trouble, this does not have a water umbrella, as long as he is willing to exchange the population, Hou Ye will not be embarrassed.

It's winter now, but there are already patches of poisonous weeds near Juyan Lake, and Ximen Wangfu is thinking about the people, so he has to lead the army to the west to find a more abundant and safe pasture, and Xiao Ye to the south is not allowed.

What's more, what Ximen Wangfu loves in his bones is to rob to his heart's content, robbing any people and property he wants, and now that he has a strong backer, the tyranny in his heart is already uncontrollable.

Woo, woo, when the terrible sound of the horn sounded on the withered yellow grassland, 50,000 Mongolian iron horsemen, accompanied by Xue Zilong's chariote, lined up in an endless line, straight towards the Zabkhan River grassland.

Ten days later, Simon Wangfu's messenger rushed back, and the Wathorn tribe was tired of fighting with Ximen Wangfu endlessly for pastures.

Just when the Tatar cavalry and the tile spur cavalry were preparing for a large-scale battle, Xiao Ye was not idle here, and sent Wang Deyu, who could bloom with a tongue, disguised as a businessman, and infiltrated the royal city of Tulupan.

With the Elimination Pill in his hand, Wang Deyu, who was carrying Xiao Ye's portrait, met the King of Tulupan and his two princes as he wished, and the junior powerful pill naturally appeared.

It took half a month to get the letter of surrender from the king of Tulupan, Wang Deyu looked at the bright red king seal on it, and returned to Ximen Stone Fort with a large number of herbs and two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

After accumulating resources for a month, Xiao Ye took out five Kunzi stone mills from the processing center, took Gujiabao as the starting point, and began to set up small-scale mills every less than 200 miles to the north according to the ore points explored by Shangshetian.

After the 100-member team sent by the logistics team cleared the ground, as long as the cowhide tent was erected and the geotechnical bomb exploded, the stone mill could be put into operation soon.

Along with these stone mills was Dudin's barracks, and he was to leave a sergeant of the hundred-man squad at each mill stronghold to ensure the safety of the logistics team and the stone mill. There are also communication teams carrying three-type letter posts, which can ensure smooth communication in a timely manner.

Even the medical hall also sent Langzhong with the team to deal with the emergencies of craftsmen and sergeants at any time.

The two transport vehicles commanded by Yu Shan were responsible for transporting supplies to them.

There are all kinds of things, these complicated things are mixed together, if it weren't for the dozen or so stewards in Xin Rulin's office who are constantly operating day and night, Xiao Ye would not be able to play such a huge plan.

Five mines have been marked on the map of the office, three barren iron mines, one salt mine, one copper mine, and the northernmost vein is less than three hundred miles from the upper reaches of the Zabkhan River.

A team of guards transferred from the depths of the Gobi Desert, escorting five large carts with tightly wrapped packages, quietly set off with the dismantled "little black house," following the fifth wave of logistics teams.

In the middle of February 1515, in the vast grassland between the Zabkhan River and Ubudsunor Lake, the Waspur tribe, which was called 40,000 households by the Ming Dynasty, mobilized 80,000 elite cavalry of Waspur, and carried out a large-scale battle with 50,000 cavalry of the Tatar Department.

The three great leaders of the Tile Thorn tribe, Mahamu, Taiping, and Bald Luo, who commanded this battle, were originally five miles away from the battlefield and had thousands of fierce guards to protect them, but the two high-speed elephant personnel carriers quickly found their position.

There was no way, the dazzling banner behind them exposed the location of the leading commander, and Xue Zilong, who had a telescope in his hand, used the letter post to give the elephant personnel carrier an assault order.

"All the same, all the way," "Bang, Bang," "Peng Peng, Peng," "Bang Bang," the sound of gunfire and cannons exploded on the grassland, and the machine guns and lightning guns that sprayed ammunition frantically, after the two elephant personnel carriers ran over the Tile Spur banner, the Tatars pushing the carts worked even harder.

The Tatar cavalry brigade, which was flanked from both sides, quickly divided and surrounded the tile spur cavalry on the battlefield within a radius of twenty miles, and the scimitars in the hands of each Tatar cavalry were so slippery that they could not hold the blood stains on the handle.

Whew, a white flag was raised high, and the Tatar cavalry who saw the big banner shouted loudly while chasing and killing the tile spur cavalry, "Those who descend will not be killed, those who descend will not be killed,"

Ximen Wangfu, who didn't move at all in the south of the battlefield, rode on his horse and looked at the messy grassland, and the tile spur cavalry who got off their horses and knelt on the ground in a panic couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It seems that we are following the right master,"

The three commanders of the Tile Thorn Division were beaten to rotten meat, 80,000 cavalry were killed and wounded, 17,000 were wounded, more than 30,000 people surrendered, and the remaining more than 30,000 cavalry who ran away returned to their respective tribes in a hurry, spreading the news of the defeat throughout the western steppes and the areas of the Sayan Mountains and Tangnu Mountains.

Jinong came forward to appease the surrendered Tile Spur cavalry, and also released as many as 1,000 prisoners who had received minor injuries on the spot, "Return to my Tatar department, everyone is a child of Immortal Heaven,"

That being said, the Tatar cavalry, divided into three routes, with the cooperation of iron chariots, decisively wiped out three large tribes, seized countless cattle, sheep and horses, and piled up goods into a hill.

At the end of March, in the upper reaches of the Zabkhan River, in a col called Naitou Mountain, the Tatar cavalry brought thousands of thorn captives.

"Go into that passage, and you will get the best food, and the best milk," shouted the pigtailed Tartar commander, whip raised, and the captives, who had not been mistreated along the way, obediently entered the iron passage, despite their suspicions.

The black-clad guards all around the col, the conspicuous two machine guns, the captives have seen the power, and they will not run around looking for death.

First the captives, then a large number of tribal herdsmen, pushing carts full of batches of goods and medicinal herbs, driving herds of cattle and sheep, unknowingly entered the "little black house,"

The vast majority of the Waspur tribe, with a population of less than 500,000, were taken captive and sent into this small col under the persecution of the fierce Jinong, and the remnants fled farther west.

In this battle, Ximen Wangfu harvested 20,000 excellent horses, a large number of gold and silver treasures, as well as a lot of bills owed by Xiao Ye, plus the arms he gave away, he was a million profits; With less than 1,000 casualties, the capture was so rich that this grassland Jinong regretted it very much.

I regret why I didn't meet Hou Ye early, otherwise Geng would have eaten grain and went to Daming to threw grass, which would have been too embarrassing.

Intentionally or unintentionally, under the leadership of Ximen Wangfu, the Tatar tribe began to metamorphose into a group of locusts that swept by.
