Yulinwei, one of the nine important towns in the late Ming Dynasty, within the boundaries of Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, with the Great Wall as the boundary, is in the first line of the fight against the Tartars all the year round.

Wang Zhi originally thought that most of the main forces of Yulinwei had entered King Qin, and he had been plagued by thieves for a period of time, so there should be no resistance power, but when he actually came here, he found that he thought about the nine-sided military household too simply.

"I once consulted the information of the Ming Dynasty military department, and was surprised to find that most of the main forces of the Qin soldiers came from the same place - Yulin, Shaanxi.

Yulin is a very peculiar place, it is said that every time there is a war, there is no need to mobilize at all, as long as you shout two voices, regardless of men, women and children, pick up the guys, and cut them when they say it, there is no nonsense. "-- Those things in the Ming Dynasty

Yulinwei because of the most barren land, the most scarce salary, the military households here have developed a fierce and fearless character, other border towns are often beaten by the Mongols, only Yulinwei, in the face of the invading Mongols, not only often take the initiative to attack, but also often attack the grassland, the Mongols to carry out "nesting" and "horse" operations, Du Wenhuan is such an example.

So much so that the large-scale Mongol invasion generally took Taiyuan Datong, and rarely went to Yulin. The reason why Yulin people are so brave is for no other reason, but there is only one poor word. What are you afraid of when you are about to die of poverty, there is no money and grain in the field, so you can only rely on the war, and there will be captures in the war, and there will be heads that can be exchanged for silver, which is a bit of the taste of Qin soldiers when they hear the war.

Entering the realm of Yulin Weidi, Wang Zhicai understood how brave the people in Yulin were, and the three forts of Huangfuchuan, Qingshuiying, and Papaya Garden, which started to pass, were okay, because they had been harmed by Wang Jiayin, and they had no strength. Just some harassment. After entering the jurisdiction of Fort Lonely Mountain. Wang Zhi suffered the first attack since the dispatch of troops, and it was still an ambush, and the other party turned out to be just a few defenders and a group of military households in Gushan Fort.

Although they were mortal in the flesh and could not cause a little loss to the Wang Jiajun who was equipped with machine guns, Wang Zhi was still shocked, when did the defenders of the border town in the late Ming Dynasty have such courage, it must be that there are traversers.

So he asked people to arrest the person headed by the other party, who was a hundred households in charge of Tuntian, named Zhao Song. After many temptations, he found that he was not a traverser, so he released the ordinary military household he caught, and took Zhao Song and several of his subordinates with him to fight Gushan Fort together.

When Wang Zhi led the army to Gushan Fort, the gate of the fort had already been closed, and the city wall was full of defenders, looking like they were defending the city, but in front of Wang Zhi, who had any gate, the so-called fortress was just a joke. Through any gate, Wang Zhi could easily send the army into the city. And the gap between the machine gun and the broadsword is not something that can be made up by bravery.

After easily breaking through Gushan Fort, in front of the civil and military forces of Manbao, Wang Zhi killed the defender of Gushan Fort, who was a deputy Qianhu, and then appointed Zhao Song as the commander of the Gushan Battalion.

After the announcement, Wang Zhi patted Zhang Song on the shoulder, made a look of trusting him, and whispered in his ear by the way: "Give you two days to gather military power, otherwise after we leave, what do you think these people will do to you, a thief." ”

Wang Zhi's subordinates now only have three battalions and a company of troops, a thousand people, and there are so many battalions and forts along the way, it is impossible to divide the troops, so he can only make this decision to appoint a battalion commander in the original guard system, and in front of other officials, if he accepts the appointment, it is equivalent to a thief, even if he is not loyal to the army, it is unlikely to return to the Ming army system.

Generally speaking, no one dares to refuse, at least Zhang Song doesn't dare, with a crying and laughing expression, he is now sitting on the fire pit, as soon as this thief army leaves, these former colleagues present will definitely eat him alive, and then the crime of colluding with the thieves to cause the castle crash must be deducted on his head, not only will he die, but his wife and children will not end well.

Thinking of such a result, Zhang Song's heart sank, it seems that if he wants to survive, he can only surrender to the thief, and this thief has extraordinary combat power, maybe it is very promising!

"This general, if I am the commander of the Gushan Battalion, can I kill these people?" Zhao Song pointed to a circle of colleagues and said, with them, it is impossible for a small hundred households in Tuntian to receive military power.

"Whatever you want, but if you get the right, you must also fulfill the corresponding obligations, if I don't do what I ordered, I will not only strip you of the official position of battalion commander, but also skin you." Wang Zhi threatened that it would not work to deal with these feudal bureaucrats without hanging a sword on their heads.

"I wonder what the general wants the general to do?" Zhao Song hurriedly asked, this is a matter of his own life!

"It's the same as training soldiers and tuntian, taking people to repair water conservancy in the slack season, this drought will last for decades, without water conservancy, just wait to starve to death!" As he spoke, Wang Zhi beckoned to a herald beside him: "Who, you come over and tell him what to do." ”

"Remember, you only have two days."

After saying a word, Wang Zhi left, and after a while, there was a sound begging for mercy from inside the house, but it didn't last for a while before it was replaced by a scream.

Two days later, Wang Zhi left Gushan Fort with a large army, leaving no one behind, and he did not trust Zhao Song.

All the way down, it took more than a month to stop and go, encountered countless harassments, and also broke through all the castles passed by along the way, and the army arrived at Yulin City, which is the seat of Yulin Wei, which is equivalent to the existence of the state city, the city is high and thick, and it is the largest and strongest city in Yulin Wei.

However, the process of conquering Yulin City was simpler than breaking through the castles encountered along the way, and the city guards were Du Wenhuan's henchmen, and as soon as he came forward to persuade him to surrender, the city gate was opened.

Immediately after that, the whole army entered the city, and Wang Zhi planned to stay in Yulin City for a while to rest and recuperate. After all, it's been almost two months since he left Yanchang, and the soldiers who came out with him have traveled a long way and worked hard, so it's time to take a break.

Moreover, it is already February 2, 2016 in the main world, and the Lunar New Year is coming soon, and Wang Zhi will also go back for the New Year to gather with his relatives.

Everyone wanted to stay and recuperate for a while, but Du Wenhuan was unwilling, he believed in Wang Zhi's prophecy, so he hurried back to Ningsai Fort to protect his family.

"Since Battalion Commander Du is worried about his family, then I will appoint you as the general of Yulin West Road, and lead the fourteen castles of Yulin West Road, and you will take your subordinates back to Ningsai first!"

"I don't know if the general can allocate some firearms to the last general, the last general is now serving the general, the forts may regard the last general as the enemy, the last general only has more than 1,000 people, I'm afraid I can't suppress them!"

Du Wenhuan said worriedly, because the previous official road has been up and down, he is in Yulinwei, belongs to the kind of person who has prestige but no rights, if he is still the chief soldier of the imperial court, he can use his official position to suppress the camps, but now he has voted for Wang Zhi, these camps and forts will not sell his face, before Wang Zhi tried to persuade him to surrender some castles, but the result was that he returned with a feather, that is, Yulin City was the place where he was stationed before, and the guards would be his henchmen, so he could easily persuade him to surrender.

If you have soldiers in your hands, you can subdue them with force, but along the way, many of his generals were taken by Wang Zhi to be the battalion commanders of the camps and forts captured all the way, and these people took some cronies with them when they left, so that now there are only more than 1,000 people left under his command.

"Isn't there still your old department in this Yulin City, you can just bring it all, and you want firearms, firearms, cannons, weapons and armor in the arsenal of Yulin City, you can take as many as you can."

Wang Zhi naturally knew that Du Wenhuan wanted a machine gun, although it didn't matter if he gave it to him, but Wang Zhi didn't want to give it to him, and this kind of sharp weapon still had to be controlled in his own hands.

Du Wenhuan didn't think that he could really get a sharp weapon like a machine gun, and he was very content to take a weapon from the arsenal casually, so he immediately went down to gather the old department, took supplies and baggage, and went to Ningsai Fort. (To be continued.) )
