The first wind and rain drifted away

It was also on this day that Tongguan ushered in a team, an army destined to be famous all over the world and write legends, it was called the Qin Army.

Although at this time, it is unknown and not noticed.

But in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, who was thousands of miles away, it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Outside the city gate, the cold northwest wind blew, Sun Chuanting rode on a horse, and looked at Tongguan City, which is known as the throat of the four towns and the reputation of one hundred and two passes.

Observing geography and terrain has always been a basic skill necessary for an excellent general, and Lao Sun Tou is naturally no exception.

Tongguan city is high in the south and low in the north, borders the Yellow River in the north, the city wall in the east, west and north is five zhang high, and the city wall in the south has ten zhang at the highest point.

The circumference of the whole city is nearly 20 li, there are six city gates, fortress towers, corner towers, urn cities, female walls, battlements and other defensive measures are all available, and the end is a strong military fortress.

The city wall winds along the mountain, and includes the section of the Tong River into the Yellow River into the Guancheng, so that the Tong River, which flows into the Yellow River from south to north, passes through the Tongguan City.

As a result, Tongguan City's defensive capability was greatly enhanced.

In particular, the ditch around the city is very eye-catching, there are four moats, each of which is about 50 zhang wide, and it is estimated that it is four or five zhang deep.

At the crossing of the city gate, all the city gate suspension bridges were built, made of local thick and wide elm locust wood, thick and long, resting on the city moat, like a pontoon bridge.

"Close the door and strangle Kyushu, and the birds can't pass."

Seeing the layout of the city wall of Tongguan, the old grandson couldn't help but sigh generously.

Here, in the future, it will be the station of the Qin soldiers, and it is also the place of battle.

"Lord Sun, Lu Du has been arranged in the city, please enter the city."

Ahead, Cao Bianjiao leaned over and clasped his fists in salute.

Dressed in stainless steel armor, he has a bow on his back and a quiver full of heavy arrows from alfalca, his appearance is quite majestic, and his dignified murderous aura is invisible.

The shape is very stylish, the appearance is good, the ability is even more croaking, and it is recommended by Emperor Chongzhen himself, it is difficult for the old grandson to want to dislike it.

is really a tiger general, the emperor has a heart.

The old grandson stroked his beard and praised secretly, and galloped towards the city gate with the guards around him.

After entering the city, Lao Sun Tou found that there were wars in various places, but there was still a prosperous atmosphere in this Tongguan City

As far as the eye can see, there are many streets and alleys in the city, and there are many houses, shops, wine shops, hotels, temples and other buildings.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, it's a bit decadent.

There is no shortage of well-dressed pedestrians on the stone streets, but there are even more homeless people in shabby clothes.

The crowd of people of three religions and nine streams rubbed shoulders one after another, and all kinds of shouting, selling, and begging came and went.

There is no way, now that thieves are raging, the local rich and people with conditions all regard big cities such as Tongguan and Xi'an as their last resort.

After all, it is always safer to have the guards of the imperial court.

And those who don't have time to dodge will be invited to a decapitated meal by traitors.

It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor.

Needless to say, the rich fight local tyrants eat big households, and their property is not guaranteed with a single click.

The poor were dragged into the ranks, used as cannon fodder, and waited for the officers and soldiers to come and kill them.

This set is a traitor's specialty.

Murder and arson of gold belts, repair bridges and repair roads without corpses.

This is troubled times, there is no reason to talk about it, it is more than whose knife is sharper!

For ordinary people, they are either killed or on the way to be killed.

The old grandson, who took saving the Ming Dynasty as his own responsibility, saw this, his heart was heavy, and he suddenly felt heavy.

There is still a long way to go!

Tongguan is a guard system, mainly under military management.

With the giant bandit Gao Yingxiang haunting the vicinity, there are many soldiers on duty in Tongguan City.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Lao Sun Tou went straight to Tongguan to command the embassy.

The Ming Dynasty has a tradition of not repairing the official office, so the Tongguan command office is very tattered.

And around, there are mostly the mansions of officials and wealthy people, with high walls and red doors, and magnificent houses.

Those who live here, either rich or expensive, this area is a famous rich area in Tongguan City.

The old grandson's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp edge flashed, as if a hungry wolf had found a prey to be culled.

He's ready to make a move.

Because, the money runs out.

The emperor did not intend to give money again, but gave the policy.

Historically, the deity gave the old grandson 60,000 taels of silver as military expenses, saying that the country was in difficulty and the funds were very tight, so he could save some money.

So, he used the policy to train 10,000 Qin soldiers in four months.

Now, Emperor Chongzhen, who crossed over, gave him 500,000 taels of silver as military expenses, and he trained 40,000 elite Qin soldiers in the same time.

No, the proportions are wrong!

60,000 taels of silver and 10,000 Qin soldiers, 500,000 taels less to say that it also needs 80,000 Qin soldiers.

Could it be that the old grandson is greedy for ink? Or didn't do your best?

Please note that there is a difference between Qin soldiers and elite Qin soldiers.

Lao Sun Tou, who was supported by the local tyrant Emperor Chongzhen, equipped all 40,000 Qin soldiers with war horses and upgraded them to a full cavalry team.

Moreover, the logistics support is favorable, the weapons are sophisticated, the protective facilities are complete, and the helmets, armor, and shields are all complete.

At the same time, it also solved the doubts in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, that is, why could the Qin soldiers of Lao Sun Tou become an army in just a few months?

First of all, the soldiers are good.

Yulin is a border guard, a bitter cold place, and the children here are basically from Jiangmen families.

Secondly, the northwest region has suffered from war for a long time, and Yulin is the first to bear the brunt, and everyone here is a warrior or quasi-warrior.

Just like the famous Cambodia in later generations, the long-term war, teenage children are all on the battlefield, let alone adults?

It can be said that as long as there are weapons, everyone is a qualified warrior and immediately becomes an army.

This is the case with the Qin army of the old grandson.

All he has to do is integrate them and provide them with quality logistics.

and food.

This is very important!

It is also a problem that the entire Ming Dynasty needs to solve.

It can be said that since the apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty has been in constant war, and after more than ten years of fighting, many generals and colonels have accumulated rich combat experience, which is far from being comparable in peacetime.

What is lacking is only food and morale.

Without money, who can sell their lives?

"Shaanxi Governor Sun has arrived—"

After thinking about it, the commander of Tongguan commanded the yamen and shouted loudly.

Lao Sun got off the horse and tidied up his official uniform a little, and then took Cao Bianjiao and Sun Shoufa into the house proudly.

When they entered the meeting hall, they found that the generals of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Huguang provinces were already gathered together.

Shanhaiguan General Soldier Zu Dale, Deputy General Soldier Zu Kuan, Xuanfu General Soldier Hu Dawei, Governor Zuo Liangyu, Kaifeng General Soldier Chen Yongfu, Suizhou General Soldier He Renlong, Huaiqing General Soldier Liu Liangzuo......

In short, the governors and general soldiers of the four provinces, as long as they have a general title, are all complete.

Moreover, they are all fierce people.

This shows that this is a high-level meeting, presided over by Hong Chengchou, governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Guizhou, Lu Xiangsheng, governor of Xuanda, and Sun Chuanting, governor of Shaanxi.

This is the first time that the three most powerful governors of the Ming Dynasty have gathered together, with the purpose of solving the somewhat floating King Gao Chuang and more than 200,000 rebels.

It is of great significance and determines the direction of the future situation!

Thank you for the book's empty heart, HanginTere for the reward, and I am grateful for my kindness.
