Geldan practiced the Shamanji under the Dalai Lama's seat, but he has always been interested in military affairs, and often wields guns and sticks. If the military commander invited him to watch the military parade, he would definitely be very excited. But if you ask him to watch the ball, he doesn't know why. By the time the game was about to begin, Gerdan was yawning boredly. By noon, the opening whistle sounded, and the teenage boy was like a cat with its tail stepped on, and his whole body almost bounced.

Is this scene really a ball?

I saw two teams of men and horses lined up, one team in the south was dressed in cyan rattan armor, and the other team in the north was wearing earth-colored rattan armor, and the people standing in the first row were tall and strong military men, just waiting for the whistle to sound, the two sides rushed forward, and the two collided with each other, as if they wanted to kill each other.

In the center of the court, between the two teams, a large jujube pit stood alone, and I didn't know what it was for.

Geldan was stunned just by looking at these people colliding, and he didn't forget to ask. However, between the lightning and flint, at the moment when the strong men collided together, the people who were originally in the second row also rushed forward. However, they did not try to hit each other, but went for the jujube pits.

"Got it! It's our army! Xiao Mo suddenly stood up and shouted. There was also a cry in the south stand, and the officers and men of the First Guards Army who stood up in unison were like waves, churning.

Geldan is just a distraction, and the shape on the field has changed. The jujube core ball was snatched into the hands of the Qingjia warriors, and nearby opponents rushed towards him. A strong man dressed in earth-colored rattan armor rose up from five paces away and pounced on him like a predatory tiger. Unexpectedly, the strong man behind him, who was originally scuffling together, reacted very quickly, and even grabbed the belt of the earth-colored rattan armor in time, pounced on him and pressed him to the ground.

- Is this a fight or a ball play! It's so exciting!

Gerdan's face flushed when he saw it, and his forehead sweated slightly.

"Pass! Pass! Xiao Mo put his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly.

I don't know if it was heard on the pitch. The blue-armored warrior who grabbed the ball ran forward three or five steps, and when he saw that he was about to be caught up by the opponent behind him, he hooked his backhand and threw the jujube core ball steadily towards his teammates.

The runners who were originally standing in the third row were already ready to catch the ball, and when they got the ball, they ran with their legs. Sure enough, he lived up to the name of a runner and passed through the gap between the other party. Pull out a cyan figure.

"Stop! Stopped! Dang Shousu also stood up and shouted loudly.

The stands in the north were noisy, and they all let out the unique shouts of Long Province.

Eventually, one of the runners rushed up diagonally, leaping forward, and slammed his shoulder into the green-armored runner. Both of them ran extremely fast, and after colliding, they rolled out of the ground four or five paces away. This time, the runner wanted to stand up and run again, but it was too late.

Four or five earth-colored armor soldiers had already jumped up, and one by one they pounced on the green-armored runner who was shaking to his feet, crushing him under him.

The whistle remembers. The first offensive ended.

"Won't you kill people by playing with a ball like this?" Tulubaihu was also dumbfounded. The Mongols also enjoyed horse racing and wrestling in their spare time, and thought they were quite bloody, but they didn't expect the Han people to play even more wild and thrilling.

"Count as martyrs." Dang Shousu held the clairvoyant mirror and watched the second scrum.

In regular matches, only the first tee shot needs to be fought hard, and then it is to see if the attack is effective and determine which side has the right to serve. However, the army plays the "bloody battle" mode, and every ball must be fought. And it doesn't matter the boundaries of the front and back formations. The place where it falls is the scrum spot.

In this way, the competitiveness and confrontation of the game are greatly enhanced. The audience is also particularly exciting to watch. However, the earliest rules were formulated by the Son of Heaven, so this "bloody war" mode did not form written rules, and could only be regarded as "casual play".

Tulubaihu looked at the players who collided with each other again on the field, and it was not surprising that the Ming army beat Khalkha in his heart.

"Here, you use mine." Xiao Mo handed his clairvoyant mirror to Geerdan, who was looking at him.

In the end, Geldan is the son of a tribal leader, except for the Dalai Lama, who can command him. Who else could speak to him in such a tone. Knowing that this Ming army general was well-intentioned, Geldan still stiffened his neck: "My eyesight is very good, so I don't need this." ”

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Take a look." As he spoke, he sent the clairvoyant mirror to the door of Geldan.

Geerdan is still young after all, and he can't screw Xiao Mo. I had to take the clairvoyant mirror and put it in front of me, and suddenly the whole person was startled.

The whole stadium is pulled in front of you!

- What kind of treasure is this!

Geldan held the clairvoyant mirror, and already knew that the focus of the two sides was the jujube core ball. Around that big jujube pit, there will always be a fierce fight. He was addicted to it, and suddenly his hand was light, but he saw that the clairvoyant mirror had been taken back by Xiao Mo.

"General, let me take another look." Geerdan grabbed Xiao Mo's muscular arm, put away his little tiger teeth, and instinctively pretended to be a weak cat. He also knew that playing tricks with this Ming general would not end well.

"You hate to have good eyesight, don't use this." Xiao Mo said perfunctorily, holding the clairglass mirror in one hand, and patting the railing hard with the other, and roared loudly: "Tiger Tiger Tiger!" ”

There was also the sound of tigers in the stands, and some people stomped their feet to cheer.

Fortunately, this is a rammed earth stand, and if it were a stand built with wooden shelves, I am afraid that it would have collapsed.

Tulu Baihu also understood, the cyan rattan armor is General Xiao Moxiao's men and horses, and the earth-colored rattan armor is the party general's men. He suddenly had an idea, and a bold idea came up, and after another round of attack frenzy was over, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "It seems that the shape of the earth-colored rattan armor is unfavorable, and it has been pressed and beaten." ”

"Haha, Liu Laosi didn't end up today, otherwise he would really be pressing." Xiao Mo laughed.

"Our Guanzhong man is resilient, you look at it, even if Liu Laosi is gone, you have to accept it." The party is always unwilling to show weakness. Before the establishment of Gansu Province, it belonged to the Shaanxi Political Envoy Division, so it was customary for the party to confuse Longbing and Qin Bing. Only when it is necessary to distinguish the preparation do not dare to talk nonsense.

Otherwise, the Qin army would have two first armies.

Seeing that the provocation failed, Tulu Baihu asked again: "Who is Liu Laosi?" Why can't you get off the field? ”

"Liu Shi, the commander of the second division of our army." Xiao Mo said: "He is going to evaluate the major general recently, so it's better to do less." ”

"Can he rate it?" Dang Shousu asked.

"Nine times out of ten." Xiao Mo said: "In the future, Daming will have one more strong general, but there will be one less strong general on the court." ”

When you reach the rank of general, you can be called "Your Excellency". is a high-ranking official in the same ministry. Whether it was for the sake of fair play or the safety of the generals themselves, the Metropolitan Governorate forbade the generals from playing with officers and soldiers.

"In the future, we generals will be divided into two teams, so we can still fight." Dang Shousu said on a whim.

Xiao Mo actually counted the heads very seriously, and said, "Now it seems that I am afraid that there will not be enough people for the two teams." There aren't many people playing this in the southwest. Haha, if it's really a general competition. Our old battalion is still the best, Liu Laosi and Wang Yi, both of whom are our people. ”

"When the battle is over......" Dang Shousu suddenly realized that Tulu Baihu was by his side, and hurriedly changed his words: "After the battle against the Turks, a few more generals will be enough." ”

Tulubaihu was a spirit: "Turkic? ”

Many Ming people mistakenly thought that the Turks were no longer there after being defeated by the Tang people, but in fact they were not. Although the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Khitan steppe peoples were driven out of the steppe and went to the west, they did not become extinct because of this. Even if he was beaten to the core. They continue to cause great trouble to European civilization.

From this point of view, the Chinese Han people are like irresponsible children, throwing toys indiscriminately, and as a result, they hit flowers and plants. Nowadays, the Turks no longer exist as a main people, and only a group of peoples who have ruled and then become Turkic have been left in Central Asia and Europe.

Ottoman and Kazakh are very Turkic countries, of which Ottoman is considered to be of Turkic descent, and Kazakh has Turkic holy cities.

The party did not dare to be perfunctory this time. Said seriously: "Since the saint ascended to the pole, he wants to restore the Tang soil. We and other warriors should share the worries of the monarch's father. The Holy Son of Heaven regards Huayi as his own, and if Gushi Khan makes meritorious deeds, he will not be able to list the territory and seal the territory. ”

Only then did Tulu Baihu know that the ambition of the Ming Emperor had not been hidden, and he only thought that the Ming Dynasty was eyeing him, but now he knew that the tiger had even sharpened its claws and teeth, and was just waiting to pounce on the prey.

"Goal!" Xiao Mo suddenly burst out. interrupted the Yan sù talks between Dang Shousu and Tulu Baihu.

Sure enough, there was jubilation on the field, whether it was the first guard who scored the goal or the Long army who conceded the goal, they all shouted.

Geldan wanted to hear Tulubaihu and Dang Shousu discuss the general situation in the world, but he was also attracted by the goal. Cheer along. Anyway, in this case, no one knows what the people around them are shouting, just vent to their heart's content.

"General Xiao, can I play with ball?" Geldan grabbed Xiao Mo's arm and asked loudly.

Xiao Mo laughed, pointed at Dang Shousu and said, "You should beg him, he is the landlord here, there must be a way." ”

Geldan looked expectantly at the party's shousu.

Dang Shousu smiled and said, "Where can I find someone to play with you in Jiayuguan?" When you go a little further, you will arrive at Wuwei or Lanzhou, where there are jujube nuclear teams in the army primary schools. ”

"Army Elementary?" Tulu Baihu understands these four Chinese characters, but he has no clue when they are connected.

"They are all children of the same age as Erdan, because they are too young to join the army, so they study in the local area first." Xiao Mo said: "Don't look at their young age, but they are also the seeds of my Ming Tiger Ben!" Ha ha. ”

When Geldan heard that there was a tiger seed that could play with him, he looked forward to it even more, and he couldn't wait to fly to Lanzhou tomorrow.

Tulubaihu didn't have as much of an ease as Geldan. Daming not only has a strong army, but also more seeds. The news made him feel a little powerless anyway.

Thinking about Qinghai-Tibet, dispatching 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers is already a war to destroy the country, and the Ming Dynasty has deployed 100,000 elites in the northwest alone, and I heard that they are still fighting in the south and east, and they also have more than 100,000 troops, how huge is this?

"I just don't know how to make meritorious contributions to the Holy Son of Heaven." Tulubaihu asked tentatively.

"It's so easy to make meritorious contributions." Xiao Mo turned to Tulu Baihu: "Gushi Khan accepts the canonization, pays the national tax, and obeys the levy, this is the first class achievement. I heard that Gushi Khan also accompanied Batur Huntaiji to conquer Kazakhstan and returned with a great victory. If you write down this war in detail and present it to the Holy Lord, and contribute to the Holy Lord's crusade against the Turks, this is another merit. ”

Tulubaihu suddenly remembered the past when he went to Kazakhstan with Batur, and remembered the fertile pastures in the Seven River Valley. He remembered the woodlands and grasslands he had once used to be in the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and blurted out: "If the Son of Heaven captures Kazakhstan, can you return the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to me and the Shuote Division?" ”

He glanced at the ignorant Geldan and said, "Anyway, the Dzungar Department can own the land of the Seven Rivers. ”

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." Xiao Mo reminded: "We just have to make meritorious deeds, rain, dew and thunder are all from above, how to bestow it is not for our courtiers to put their beaks." ”

Tulubaihu was preoccupied and pretended to set his sights on the pitch.

……

What happened in the northwest was like the wind, fluttering into the Forbidden City in Beijing.

The complete submission of the Khalkha Mongols ended the two hundred years of border troubles of the Ming Dynasty. The civilian officials rejoiced and presented their celebratory stamps, while the military attachés were under great pressure and were troubled by the arrangement of the border guards.

From the Great Wall to the Arctic Sea, theoretically this is all the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If border guards are sent, I am afraid that there will be no obstacles in advancing all the way to the North Pole, but how to ensure logistics at such a long distance? The area is uninhabited wilderness, and it is not even possible to provide food on the spot. The drought and cold in the north make it extremely difficult to carry out military cantonments.

"More importantly, I don't want to commit the mistakes of Qin Shi Huang." Zhu Cihong said at the meeting of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

Did Qin Shi Huang build the Great Wall to defend himself? No, if you consider the order that the Northern Army can only advance northward and never turn back, it can be seen that the Great Wall is actually a bridgehead for external expansion, rather than a protective umbrella for self-protection. However, later generations regarded the Great Wall as a frontier, and refused to go out of the customs, taking the inside of the pass as a happy land, and the outside of the pass was occupied by barbarians.

If the Ming Dynasty built a military fort on the first line of Urge, it would be thought by later generations that this was the northern border demarcated by Zhu Cihong, and at worst it would be abandoned by unworthy descendants. Then the efforts made by millions of people in Daming over the years have been in vain.

"I have received a map here, it is very pleasant, you can take a look." Zhu Cihong waved his hand, and the chamberlain beside him sent the map that had already been prepared to the participating generals.

This is a modified map of the world's countries, in which the territory of the Ming Dynasty starts from the west coast of the Americas, across the ocean, until it reaches the west of the Green Ridge, directly to the Ottoman, dividing the entire Eurasian continent into two, the Taixi countries occupy Europe, and the Ming monopolizes Asia. (To be continued......)
