In the middle of July of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Xuanfu sub-patrol road north road, monolithic city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This city is the northernmost pass of the Great Wall of Xuanfu Town, and it is also one of the most dangerous passes of the Great Wall, in the white river of Xu in the south of the city, there is a flat ground protrusion, majestically isolated like a strange stone, the north gate of the north of the city is several miles away, then the two mountains are sandwiched, only allow a single ride through.

Xiongguan is majestic, look at the continuous Great Wall, spread in the mountains everywhere, the chimneys one after another, but, everywhere on the Great Wall, many places have been broken, the mountains are also smooth, not to mention the trees, weeds are less, the horses can easily from all over the hills, slopes, into the mouth.

At this time, all the generals gathered around Wang Dou, looked at a mountain range, pointed to a place, praised Qin Yi, and said in a vicissitudes of life: "Xuanzhen is on three sides, and the monolith is especially the throat of the whole town. ”

He said: "Xiongzhi border, easy to defend and difficult to attack, this is the place where soldiers must fight, Yongle 20 years, Chengzu for the third time to conquer Mobei, the army will cross the monolith, advance to Kaiping, Arutai dare not fight, abandon the baggage, fled to the north. ”

He sighed: "It's a pity, when Xuande was five years old, the Ming Dynasty lost Daning, abolished Xinghe, Kaiping was lonely and suspended, Yangwu Marquis Xue Lu played many times, and the Ming Dynasty abandoned the land for more than 300 miles, lost the danger of Longgang on the Luanhe River, and then took the north captive, and entered the Kou from the Dushikou many times. ”

Wang Dou said: "If you guard the river, you will guard Huai, and if you want to guard the monolith, you must guard Kaiping." At present, our division has occupied Pingdingbao (later Guyuan) and set up all kinds of tunning pastures, and in the future, it can go along the Luan River. Then reopen the old guard, and then, occupy Yingchang in the north, and control the nearby pastures and deserts. ”

On 16 July, Wang Dou led the guard battalion and the generals of the Jingbian Army from the Wanquan Right Acropolis, passing through Yehuling, and inspecting the Xinghe Office outside the Saiwai, Shacheng and other places.

There is a large temperature difference between the outside and the outside of the plug. And even a little longer. It's going to be frosty, and the ultraviolet rays are very strong, so everyone is wearing thick autumn and winter clothes. Riding a healthy horse.

The Wild Fox Ridge mountain is steep. The wind was fierce. The geese fly over here, fall in the wind, and it is the junction of Wanquan County and Zhangbei County in later generations. It is also the dividing point between the dam and the dam, and it is the dividing line between farming and nomadism.

Everyone went to the wild fox ridge, and Gao Shiyin rode the horse with emotion: "I don't see the wild fox, I only see the yellow sheep, hit one, roast it to eat." ”

At noon, everyone feasted, all ate the yellow sheep shot by Gao Shiyin, pointed to the peaks in front of him, Qin Yi sighed: "This ridge, see the rise and fall of China, when Genghis Khan invaded gold, the number of gold soldiers was 400,000, and they were arrayed in the north of Yehu Ridge, defeated, and the elite was lost. ”

"The dynasty destroyed the Great Yuan, Emperor Yuan Shun abandoned the city with the civil and military concubines, crossed the Yehu Ridge, and ran to the capital of the Yuan. In the third year of Hongwu, he captured Li Wenzhonggong, the deputy general of the left, and went out of Yehuling with 100,000 people, defeated the remnants of the Yuan, and captured 60 people below the Michi of the Duke of the country. During the Yongle period, Chengzu drove several times to Mobei and went back and forth from Yehuling. ”

He sighed: "After Xuande shrunk the border, from the fifth year of Xuande to the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing, there were thirty-eight large-scale invasions of the northern captives. ”

Gao Shiyin laughed: "Although I am also a scholar, but I am not as sentimental as Qin Zanhua, this advance and retreat is normal, no, my Han army is not out of the jam again?" ”

The crowd rode through the valley and mountain paths, and from time to time they could see wild beasts infested, out of the mountain pass, and their eyes lit up.

Sparse forests, willows, meadows, and rivers meandering, lakes everywhere, patches of birch, maple, and many leaves, have slowly shown golden, with fiery red, golden leaves, stacked green and golden!

It feels like seeing an oil painting.

Here, the temperature is also a little lower, and it seems that the average temperature has dropped a lot, although it is not yet autumn, there is still a feeling of being cold in the high places.

The shogunate, where the fort and grassland were set up, was mainly set up around the original Ko and Sojo Castle, Sha Castle, and Haizi in the northwest of Sha Castle.

Many displaced people have moved here to grow wheat, soybeans, sugar beets and other things, and the grasslands here are vast, the water and grass are abundant, and many livestock farms have been set up, and fur, meat and other processing factories have also been set up one by one.

Along the way, dense tun people are working, these new tun forts, mainly adopt the camp system, similar to a large farm, the tun people, just like hired laborers, get monthly rations, food and clothing, wages, salt and tea, etc.

However, owning their own land has been the expectation of the Chinese people for thousands of years, and the current farming system is in the transitional stage, and in the end, the land will still be divided into households.

Of course, some of their official organizations will not change in the future, after all, a single person and a single family may have the ability to build water conservancy and resist disasters?

At present, because of the regulations, those who work hard can be given priority to naturalized and Han nationality, and give priority to the distribution of land.

These tunpu, not only tuntian, the surrounding area, but also belong to their livestock farms, chicken and duck farms, vegetable gardens, etc., do not underestimate their material resources, this expedition outside the plug, full of sets and other old tunbao, can support a large number of grain on the front line, as well as pigs and beef, vegetables, wood, coffins, stretchers, fruits and so on.

Greatly reduce the intensity of transporting supplies from the mouth.

"General, at the beginning of the establishment of each tunbao, the camp system, the restoration of agricultural products, and the reclamation of tuntian are very effective, but the people's hearts are like this, and it is inevitable that the land will be divided according to the households."

Zhang Gui, ambassador of the Department of Civil Affairs, was also by Wang Dou's side at this time, and he said with emotion.

Qin Yi also said: "Indeed, at the beginning of the dynasty, a camp was set up, and within a few years, the grain and rice warehouse was full, and it didn't cost a single grain to raise a million soldiers. ”

"It's just that all the gains from these reclamation troops and camps are paid into the officials, and they pay a certain amount of grain and rice, and the rest are all owned by themselves. Over time, there are no real acres of land, no real place for the army, no real rent for the levy, the weak compensate for the burden, the strong encroach on it, and even deduct the monthly grain of the reclamation army to fill the rent tax, resulting in a shortage of troops and soldiers, and the loss of both soldiers and peasants. In the end, it was still divided according to the military households and a part of the grain was paid, and of course, now the guard house is also decaying. ”

Wang Dou sighed: "Yes, there is no such thing as perfection, and there are always drawbacks to everything, which accumulates over time." ”

He remembered that the construction corps of later generations was also full of vigor in the early days. The contribution was enormous, but slowly, the same poor management, serious losses, and even serious attrition, some divisions, even lacking more than one-third, the establishment is seriously incomplete.

Even if the fields are divided into households in the future, the same people are lazy and diligent. There is poor management. For those who are difficult to pay taxes and grains, looking at ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries, there is no good solution to this kind of problem.

Chickens and dogs smell each other. Horses neigh. The view of the forts in front of you. Vigorous.

Around the forts, there are some small villages, or a few households. Or more than a dozen households, dozens of households gathered together, these villages, the source is complex, there are veteran sergeant meritorious fields and pastures, there are also merchants and people set up tuntian livestock farms, etc.

Their buildings also fully carry forward the wisdom of the broad masses of the people, with traditional wooden fence wall type, and more, it is the kind of gate inward, the house wall facing outward, and many households gather in one place, similar to the kind of building complex of the courtyard.

Of course, it is different, because there are perforations and small windows on the walls of the houses, and the residents can shoot with bird guns.

Such a building, living and defense as a whole, do not need to build a wall, safety points, can dig a circle of trenches under the wall, dozens of women and children, holding birds, can be hundreds of horse thieves outside the plug, and some of the tribes such as the invasion of the tribe, etc., can be beaten back in embarrassment.

After all, they didn't have artillery, and the merchants and people who lived outside the fortress all had guns and bought sharp bird guns and powerful medicine to attack the enemy's bows and arrows.

The gate, also between the two houses, is here alone, there are five points of fire, two, or flank, if the thieves break the gate.

Not to mention, all villages support each other, and when horse thieves come, the military fort will also send troops.

What's more, I also saw buildings similar to the Hakka tulou style, which were even more powerful in defense and more and more popular with foreign businessmen.

Not far northwest of Shacheng, there is a sea, which is called Angulinao Lake in later generations, but at this time it is called Angkun Nao'er Sea.

Looking at this sea, the ducks, geese, Hong, geese and the like are full of it, looking at it from afar like people, standing, sitting, walking, white like snow, black like ink, or galloping and chasing it that flies up, people go to spin down, fluttering back in the water.

Further to the northwest, there is a sea again, the local people called the Han Mind Hai, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was a Chahan brain guard, do not understand the Haizi, how to become the Han Brain later, there is a kind of curse Han people, so Wang Dou all changed his name, Angkun Naoer Hai called the destruction of Hu Hai, inserted into the Han mind called Jing Hu Hai.

Qin Yi said: "Kaiping, once for the Yuan capital, Shacheng, Yuan in the capital, listen to the history books, here is the most suitable for horse herding, today to see this, to know the scenery outside the plug, the past to read but see on paper, not as if you see it today." ”

On the two Haizi sides, military forts have been built, and local garrisons have been set up to guard the large and small tun forts in the southern range, and the second battalion of the Jingbian Army will be stationed in turn.

At present, in the Jingbian Army, the belligerent atmosphere is very strong, and everyone wants to fight in the field, and if they are allowed to stay there for a long time and lose the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, they will inevitably make the sergeants dissatisfied.

And these troops, even in the localities, except for drills on weekdays, are drills, and do not participate in the affairs of Tuntian and other parties.

If there is a war, the local garrison can also mobilize the troops of the tunpu villages under its jurisdiction.

Standing by the lake, looking at the swans, geese, hares, roe deer, foxes and other birds and beasts here, Wang Dou's heart is swaying, and the scenery outside the plug is different.

Pointing to the west, Wang Dou said: "This goes to the west, there is Jining Haizi, you can re-set up Guanshan Guard, if you occupy the naturalization city again, control the first line of Yinshan, and then set up Kaiping Wei, the first line of Monan, the strongholds are connected, and a complete defense system will be formed, and this land will be returned to my Han family." ”

Gao Shiyin shook his head and said: "The death of my Qilian Mountain will make my six animals not rest, and the loss of my Yanzhi Mountain will make my women colorless...... Haha......"

All the generals are excited, control Monan, there is no threat to Xuanda Northern Xinjiang, and a steady stream of immigrants can flock here.

Wen Fangliang frowned and said: "In the north of Yin Mountain, it is cold and dry, and the desert is everywhere, and it is difficult for Han people to display their cultivation skills. I heard that at the western end of Yinshan Mountain, there is also a continuous desert Gobi outside, which extends to the Western Regions, which is not suitable for farming and grazing. In the past dynasties of the Central Plains, the northern region also arrived at Yinshan and stopped, could it be that our Jingbian army only occupied Yinshan? ”

Han Chao said: "From the perspective of military affairs, Yinshan goes north, the population is cut off, the desert Gobi is desolate and barren, occupying the south of the desert, and the Han soldiers go north to the south, and Hu'er is also inconvenient to go south to herd horses." ”

Wang Dou smiled and said: "Otherwise, the price of the northern land is more expensive than gold, and you will understand it in the future." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
