Because it is on the edge of the desert, the area around Jiayuguan in summer is dry and hot, and the soldiers feel that they are about to lose their breath when they hide in the garrison.

As the first pass in Hexi, the defense of Jiayuguan and the nearby Great Wall has been the top priority since ancient times. Now, it seems that there is no need, because the Tubo people outside the Great Wall are too honest now, and the honesty makes people feel incredible.

Of course, this is due to the invincibility of the heroes of Dongchang Hou Zhou Huchen, with the complete victory over Jiannu, the barbarians outside the Guanwai have been beaten in recent years, and it seems that they are still galloping outside the Guan. This also made the Tartars outside the pass all frightened, although it did not hit this area, but it was enough to make this Jiayu Pass a de facto ornament. The Tubo people and the Mongols can not be compared, let alone defeat the powerful Ming army of Jiannu, the Jiannu was completely defeated, and the Tubo who surrendered to the Jiannu dared to make a mistake, Jiayuguan was actually not defended, and the Tubo people did not dare to come to make a disturbance.

This is the first pier of the famous Great Wall in Jiayuguan, located at the starting point of the western end of the Great Wall, and is an important part of the defense system of the Great Wall in Jiayuguan. This huge pier is fifteen miles away from Guancheng in the north, and the pier platform just stands on the cliff by the Lai River, which can be described as the first dangerous pier in the world.

You don't have to take precautions as before, but you have to make a show. Squinting his eyes, a Ming soldier looked out of the garrison, and the scorching waves of air rushed to his face, making him can't help but feel a wave of annoyance.

But when the soldier looked outside, his eyes immediately widened and he was stunned.

Under the scorching sun, there was a vast army in front of him, and this huge army made the soldier think that he was dazzled, he shook his head, pinched his face, and then finally confirmed that he was not mistaken.

"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack ~ Prepare for Beacon Fire ~"

The warning was to use a beacon fire, and as the soldiers in the pier hurriedly lit the beacon fire, a cavalry rushed out of the army at the edge of the desert outside the pass.

The soldiers in the pier platform watched this fierce knight come to the cliff on horseback, as if he was not a Tibetan person, but like a Ming army. This cavalryman was a little different from the military uniform of ordinary Ming soldiers, and it was a brown military uniform. But his helmet and helmet show that this should be a Ming cavalry, a very special cavalry.

"Daming Dongchanghou, Zuo Zhuguo, Zuo Dudu of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, Governor of the Four Provinces, General of the Dragon and Tiger, Jinyi Wei Commander Zhou Dashuai returned to the division victoriously! As soon as the officials and soldiers rushed out to greet them! ”

The cavalryman's voice echoed among the dirt mountains, as if he were not under a cliff, but high up.

The soldiers in the pier platform were stunned again, how could Zhou Huchen and Zhou Dahou appear here? Who believes?

I don't believe it. The army in front of him could not have been the Tibetan army. The current Tibet is said to have made overtures to the imperial court. Ready to accept the canonization again, how dare you come to the side? With the deterrence of the Marquis of Zhou, even if the Tubo army was given ten dares, they would not dare to come.

After a long time, a hanging basket was lowered on the pier.

"Please submit the letter of the seal of the Guan!"

The soldiers on the pier did not dare to slack off. What if it was really Zhou Huchen who came here? Although it feels incredible, offending Dongchang Hou is a matter of losing his head, this killer is not an ordinary general, his dominance is famous all over the world, and the small border soldiers can't bear it.

Zhou Huchen's Guan Fang Yin Xin is a very special Guan Fang, this Guan Fang is a special one, and it is a Guan Fang with a dragon pattern, because he is the royal son-in-law, a standard royal relative.

There will be no doubts about the customs defense. The soldiers on the pier were stupid.

Zhou Huchen is back, and he has appeared in an incredible place.

The drums of the Jiayuguan City Tower sounded, and in the drum of victory, the gate of the Jiayuguan City was solemnly opened, and the Jiayuguan guerrilla Tian led his men to meet ten miles away

"Subordinate Jiayuguan guerrilla field, see the marshal!"

There is nothing wrong with the title of Tian's subordinate. Because, Zhou Huchen's customs defense is clearly marked; Where they passed, they should be sent to the soldiers.

came to Jiayuguan, and Zhou Huchen was the supreme commander here. There are many civil officials and generals, but no one will have such a groundbreaking power like Zhou Huchen. The Jiayuguan guerrilla field is not respectful, but sincerely respectful and fearful.

Like an arrow, he stayed at Jiayuguan for a short time, threw a thousand large-caliber guns and some grenades captured from the Tsarist army to the defenders of Jiayuguan, and Zhou Huchen set off again.

Countless fast horses galloped in the direction of Jingshi in the scorching heat

Zhou Dashuai is back!

Zhou is back!

Zhou Dudu is back!

The unsurpassed Dongchang Hou Zhou Huchen is back!

There was still a journey of 4,000 miles, and Zhou Huchen's army had to pass through many mountains and rivers, and also had to resist the scorching heat.

Within a month, Zhou Huchen crossed the Yellow River and appeared in Shanxi.

Shanxi has been quiet for a long time, and the people of this once war-torn basin are now living and working in peace and contentment, and the officials and generals are no longer in peace.

There are too many welcomes and send-offs along the way, but Shanxi is clearly more different. This is Zhou Huchen's former lair, the place where he started, and the place where this army rose. Many of Zhou Huchen's soldiers were from Shanxi, and although most of those soldiers stayed in Siberia, Zhou Huchen's feelings for Shanxi were obviously the most sincere.

Dismounted, clenched his fists, and Zhou Huchen greeted the welcoming crowd.

"I'm back!"

"The young marshal is well~"

A greeting and a cheer are like a tsunami in the mountains.

The cheers of the people are the best praise, Zhou Huchen is the eternal young marshal of Shanxi people, and this title will accompany him forever. I don't know how many people came to welcome them, these people have occupied all the space along the way, and many people have almost no place to stay, Zhou Huchen's status in the minds of the people of Shanxi can be seen.

The new governor of Shanxi, Zhou Huchen, did not know, as long as the etiquette arrived, one or two of the other officials were quite familiar, but unfortunately, these officials had no right to speak in front of Zhou Huchen, just a warm salute. The army generals stationed in Shanxi also don't know each other now, but this Shanxi general soldier didn't dare to slack off, the difference in rank was too big, and he stepped forward and knelt down directly to greet him.

Cheering, saluting, Zhou Huchen saw Quyuan Town, the "Qu Bancheng" who came to welcome him, Fan Yongdou, who wanted to resist and escape, and later became his largest iron ingot supplier, Shen Wanquan, as well as the Wang family, the Tian family, the Li family and other Jin merchants.

Stepping forward, Zhou Huchen pointed to Shen Wanquan: "Shopkeeper Shen, how can you grow like this after not seeing you for a few years?" ”

This wealthy shopkeeper has passed his prime, he is so old that he is faltering, and his hair is all white: "Little old man meets the young marshal!" ”

Shen Wanquan, like the common people, uses the old name, and this marshal with great achievements will always be the galloping young marshal in their hearts.

"No need to be polite, old partner! In the past, the rise of this army did not depend on you? As he spoke, Zhou Huchen grabbed Shen Wanquan.

A few words made Shen Wanquan cry, in addition to being more mature, the current high-powered Zhou Huchen still does not have a sense of superiority, and his style of action is as clean and neat as back then. What's more, today's Jin merchants have gone far out of the country with the support of Zhou Huchen, and they have unimpeded passage in the Mongolian steppe and Liaodi, and the amount of wealth they have brought is incalculable.

Zhou Huchen looked at the others: "The shopkeeper of Qu, the shopkeeper of Fan, and the shopkeeper of the Tian family are all old!" Ben Shuai is not old, I will continue to gallop, you must have a successor, in the future, Ben Shuai wants your trade route to go to the Western Regions, to Tibet, but also to the northernmost Siberia, to the South Seas. In the future, countless business opportunities are still waiting for you, all give me a good life! ”

Quyuan Town is also not young, and his hair is gray, but this old man is in good health, so he knelt down directly: "Little Lao'er is willing to continue to partner with the young marshal, and the children and grandchildren of the little old man are willing to follow the young marshal forever!" ”

Not only Quyuan Town, but the rest of the Jin merchants all knelt down. This is not a flattery, but a matter of qualifications, being able to talk to Zhou Huchen and being able to kneel in front of him is an honor in itself, not everyone has such an opportunity. As for the partner, it is actually a business opportunity, and the partner sounds more comfortable, which proves that he and Zhou Huchen are not outsiders.

The lands of Tubo and the Ancient Western Regions have actually been mastered almost equally, and Zhou Huchen certainly needs merchants to enter, and if he wants to stabilize these places, he can't just rely on soldiers. Mutual communication is more important than economic and cultural invasion. Merchants are undoubtedly the best way, and Zhou Huchen's intention is to stabilize the leaders of these places first, and with the smooth flow of trade routes, the people will understand the importance of merchants, and the leaders of these states will also understand the importance of communication. As more people go out of the customs, a group of people who live together is the most in line with the trend of the times and the interests of China.

Time wears away a few things, including ambition. Of course, abundance also brings with it the expansion of ambition. For the future Ming Dynasty, this problem can never be completely solved, but Zhou Huchen believes that a different Ming Dynasty has appeared in this world, and it is impossible for foreign races to overthrow the Chinese Han Dynasty.
