In August of the sixteenth year of Hongxi, Bami City, Ahan Province.

This is one of the closest cities to the Ming Dynasty from the Xibo period, there is a Bami River more than 200 miles away from the west of the city, which is temporarily used as the dividing line between the Ming Dynasty and the Aries Dynasty, and the west of the river originally belonged to the territory of Shaharu

Since the Ming Dynasty occupied Kabul, the Ming army went as far as Bami City, and the Aries Dynasty saw the gap and continued to invade the east, seizing a large area of land in Hexi, while the Ming army has been focused on consolidating the existing territory and ignored it.

At that time, Sultan Kara Osman saw that the Ming army did not move, and tried to send troops and horses across the river, wanting to occupy the territory on the east bank of the river, but the Ming army really came, Kara Osman immediately retreated, and the Ming army did not come back when it arrived on the riverbank.

Seeing that the Ming army was easy to talk to, Kara Osman immediately sent an envoy to Kabul City to trade with the Ming people.

Kara Osman also wanted to sign a formal peace agreement with Shahru, but at that time, Shaharu was instigating a joint attack on the Ming Dynasty, Shaharu did not agree, and always persuaded Aries to fight the Ming, and both sides were arguing, and this matter was delayed again and again, so in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty and the Aries Dynasty were quite harmonious on the surface, and trade was busy.

But in the sixteenth year of Hongxi, the Aries Dynasty also sensed the changes in the Ming people.

A large number of young men came to Bami City, although they were not Ming troops, but they were trained by the Ming army, and suddenly, a tense atmosphere began to envelop the skies over Central Asia.

On the 6th of August, before the day had fallen, a loud trumpet sounded in a military camp on the east side of the city of Bami.

In a small wooden house, Jacobar swished to his feet, quickly put on his clothes, put on his boots, and ran out quickly.

Jakba is a Benga, born in the territory of the later Yindu, which will be the kingdom of Bengal.

After the Kingdom of Bengal was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, his family was immigrated to Kabul, and then he was drafted into the army because of his youth, just twenty years old.

In January of the sixteenth year, he was drafted.

At that time, his family was in Kabul, he first helped the Ming people build a city nearby, and then went to the mines to mine, specializing in rough work, his wife helped the Ming people to farm (rye), and he also had parents and two children.

The six of them all rely on the income of his husband and wife, and the two of them add up to less than two copper coins per month, and their lives are quite poor, barely enough to eat.

After the Ming army came to the door, he asked him if he was willing to be a soldier, if he was willing to be a soldier, the monthly salary was consistent, and every month, the family could go to the local area to receive five buckets of rye and rice, five catties of salt, and five catties of brown sugar.

Jakbar's eyes lit up suddenly, these things add up, and they are worth a lot of money, especially salt and sugar are relatively expensive now, and he can't afford to eat much at home.

But his wife did not approve of it, fearing that he would die in battle.

At this time, the Ming people said again, let's come to fight, win every battle, never lose a battle, the chance of dying in battle is very small, yes, you have to believe.

Moreover, it only takes five years to be a soldier, and after five years of retirement, twenty acres of land will be divided.

This will not say where the fields will be divided, in fact, they will lay down the Black Sheep Dynasty and other places, and go over there to divide the fields to them, because the fields here have already been distributed to the locals.

Jakba was very impressed, especially when he heard that he could divide twenty acres of land, and after discussing it with his family, he decided to join the army.

According to his request, the Ming people gave half of the monthly salary to his family, and he took half of it in the military camp.

Jakba was very conscientious, and the first three months of the camp were spent in queue training, and he had to learn Chinese characters in the evening.

At first, it was relatively simple to learn, mainly the Chinese characters encountered in the queue, but Jacoba himself had to learn more, and in less than three months, because of his good Chinese learning, he performed well and was promoted to a senior position.

There were also ten people in Tashiri, all of them young and strong, most of them from the Indus and Bengal dynasties, who spoke a similar language and could communicate.

For the next three months, they practiced siege in Bami City, and they climbed very fast.

Jacobar's Chinese is getting better and better.

In July, he was promoted to captain, and the Ming army organized them into the battalion sentry system of later generations, three tithes for one team, three teams for sentry (sentry officer), five sentry for the general (general), five general for the battalion (general), and the number of people under his control reached thirty-three.

Beginning in July, I continued team training and physical training, and began to practice foot combat.

Before dawn today, as soon as the horn sounded, Jacobar got up quickly and rushed out of the house.

There are many tents outside the house, and there is a wooden platform under the tent, which is a simple tent on the wooden platform, and their soldiers live in a simple tent, which is to prevent rain, and when it is long, there is a wooden house for three people.

When a captain like him is a captain, he can have a single cabin.

When Jakba rushed out, people from the houses and tents were coming out one after another, and some of them were sleepy-eyed, as if they had just woken up and had not yet come back to their senses.

"Hurry, hurry, queue." Jacoba shouted loudly in Chinese.

The subordinates hurriedly lined up, and after more than half a year of training, the speed was quite fast.

"Count." Jacobar's boots were put on in a hurry, and he would bark while pulling the boots.

“1，2，3，4，5——”

After a while, 33 people reported to the scene.

These are three sheriffs and three soldiers.

Everyone stood in three rows, with the chiefs in front.

"Listen, turn right, run, walk." Jacobar turned around and began to run.

The drill field in front of them was full of people, and each team was in the whole team, and Jakba's team was relatively fast, and the first one ran to the middle of the playground.

Not far away, there were Ming soldiers watching them, and a Ming army general always saw Jakba's team and nodded with satisfaction.

After a while, a group of people came to the scene everywhere, and the general waved his hand.

Jakbar's team took the lead and began to run out of the barracks, and then along the Bami River outside, they began the ten-mile run every morning.

They had a fixed route, running about four miles along the river and then turning, one mile east and then south, and returning to the barracks exactly ten miles.

But when you run out, everyone is in a whole team, and it is not necessary to come back, some people run fast, some people run slowly, and some people will run away in the middle.

But Jacoba's team was okay, and more than half of them came back first.

It is good to go back first, and you can take a break.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, all of his team came back and immediately began to do push-ups and other physical exercises.

After about half an hour, the sky began to lighten, and they were all sweating profusely.

At this time, they rested for ten minutes, and everyone went back to their tents to get their weapons.

The weapons were all wooden, and Jacobar went back to the room to get a bucket of black things, and everyone dipped the front of the weapons up and down, and the front of the weapons was all black, and another team of people not far from the next door also came.

There are more than 30 people in each of the two teams, and they will start a scuffle after a while.

Whoever has lime on his body is killed.

That team wins first, go back to breakfast first.

On the losing side, everyone does another hundred push-ups, frog jumps fifty meters, and squats down and stands up fifty.

"Victory." The captain on the opposite side was also an Indu, and after bringing people over, he raised his arms and shouted.

"Victory." There were more than 30 people behind him, all of whom shouted two words in Chinese, because many people couldn't speak a few words in Chinese.

Jakbar's Chinese is relatively good, he also picked up a wooden shield and a wooden knife, and said coldly: "We have won three days in a row, and we can't lose today." ”

"Victory." There is a long arm, and the surroundings are also responding violently.

The two teams quickly divided into two teams, and at this time, a referee came over.

The referee looked at the people on both sides, stretched out his hand and said, "Ready." ”

“3，2，1”

"Kill." There was no tactics on the other side, and they rushed forward in a swarm.

"Array." Jakbar's side has tactics, there are three teams of them, one team is pikemen, one team is sword and shield soldiers, and one team has a hook in front of the spear, which can hook the opponent's foot from the ground, if it is not wooden, reach out and hook it, and the opposite foot can be hooked.

The whole team of sword and shield soldiers stood in front of them, and they raised their long shields one after another.

Boom, the opposite side crashed into the shield.

The scene was chaotic, and the referee couldn't see it clearly, but whoever had a black spot on his body after a while, he would immediately shout: "No. 3 eliminated." ”

It turns out that everyone has a word count on the back of their clothes.

There was a burst of crackling at the scene, and some people were 'killed' and quit one after another.

I don't know why today, Jakba's side didn't play very well, or their tactics were figured out by the other side.

The other party seemed to be chaotic, but he also came prepared.

A moment later, his ten sword and shield men were eliminated.

His face was solemn, but he didn't want to do another hundred push-ups, frog jumps fifty meters, etc.

"Kill." The shouts of killing at the scene shook the sky, and the entire barracks was full of two teams fighting against each other.

Jacobar himself was the only sword and shield bearer on his side, and from time to time he used his shield as a cover to attack with his sword.

There are people around who are eliminated from time to time, many people are scolding, and after retreating, there will be people cheering for both of them.

Come on, over and over, it's all those Chinese characters: "Kill them." ”

"Kill them."

Every team wants to win.

Horns, wooden strikes on the scene continued, and after another moment, there were less than ten people on both sides.

There are only three people left in Jakba's team, and there are five more opposite.

Wow, the other side has begun to coax, they have been playing with Jakbar's team for more than a month, winning less and losing more, and they have lost three times in a row recently, and this time they can see the hope of victory again.

"Back to back with me." Jacoba snapped, and the other two men were back-to-back with spears in hand, while the five people on the opposite side surrounded him.

The fight on their side was quite shady, and from time to time both sides stabbed each other with spears and feet.

The stab is not a casualty, but it really hurts and will affect the performance.

Jacobar himself was stabbed several times, half angry to death.

After another moment of fighting, several people were 'killed' on the other side, and then Jakba was still alive on his side, and there were two people on the other side.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone stared at the three of them.

On the opposite side were originally two pikemen, one of whom threw away the spear and picked up the sword and shield from the ground.

Because the loser can withdraw, but the weapon must remain in the field, completely simulating the battlefield.

The other pikeman nodded to his companion and slowly approached Jacobar.

Jacobar held his breath, sweating profusely, and he placed his shield in front of him, which was chest-high, mainly to protect the lower plate.

The Ming people don't talk about martial arts in war, and they train them to be extremely insidious.

Sure enough, the pikemen on the opposite side suddenly took half a step forward, crouched down and shot his gun, and stabbed him in the foot.

Jacobar decisively put his shield on the ground, and the other party stabbed him in the shield.

Kill, another sword and shield attack at the same time, raise the shield and raise the sword.

Jacoba waved his knife over, and the two wooden knives collided, both of which were shocked.

Unexpectedly, the other party's body rushed over, boomed, and hit his shield with his shield.

Jacobar retreated sharply, almost sat on the ground, and with the sound of the shield in his hand, he fell to the ground and flew out.

The two on the other side were overjoyed, and the pikeman rushed forward with his spear and tried to stab him.

Unexpectedly, he stumbled under his feet, and actually stepped on a shield on the ground, and his body stumbled, and it also affected the sword and shield soldiers behind him to step forward.

Jacobar stooped down and picked up a spear from the ground, and stabbed it in the pikeman's chest.

"No. 6 elimination," the referee shouted.

"Grass" No. 6 scolded and said to the surroundings in the local language: "Jakba has a gun in his hand, and he can't stab me to death." ”

What he said is no problem, if he is on the battlefield, the spear head will be replaced with metal, Jacobah in the case of his own unstable body, pick up a spear from the ground, stab it with one hand, the strength will not be too great, if the six is wearing armor, may be lightly injured.

But the referees don't care about that, they always have.

Another sword and shield rushed up and fought a few more moves with Jacobar, but was finally killed by Jacobar.

"Wow roar" cheers rang out at the scene, and the captain on the opposite side hung his head and shook his head again and again.

"Let's go, let's eat." Jacquebah laughed, shouted in Chinese, waved his hand, and led the whole team to dinner.

Breakfast is usually rye bread or buns, followed by porridge, and side dishes will have stir-fried shredded pork, although the shredded meat is small, but there is finally meat.

They will drink goat's milk once a few days, and many people here help the Ming army raise cattle and sheep, but the Ming army is not used to drinking goat milk, they are used to drinking it.

After breakfast, everyone would go back to the barracks to rest for a while, and then start training again.

In the morning, I trained until about eleven o'clock modern time, mainly in queues, plus fighting tactics.

After a half-hour break in the morning, we start to eat, and we have an hour to rest after eating.

Some will sleep, others will leave the camp.

Jacobar sometimes takes the three chiefs to visit the city of Bami.

The Ming army is still relatively loose on them, as long as there is a captain or above to lead the team, they can leave the camp after applying, but they must come back before training in the afternoon.

There is a commercial street in Bami City, most of which are Han Chinese-owned shops, and there are also a small number of locals, who are at least a group of people who have taken refuge in the Ming, and they also account for a lot of light.

Jakba is now the captain, and he has reached two runs, and he asks Mingren to give his family five every month and get five hundred wen for himself.

In this way, the money is not used much, but the three chiefs he brought with him have always been 500 wen a month, and none of them have been given to the family and used on his body.

Every few days, let Jacobar take them into the city to buy something delicious.

In this way, the money they finally got was consumed and returned to the Ming people.

At the beginning of September, the Ming servants in Bami City paid their salaries, and then began to have a holiday, each time they finished their salary, the Ming people had to give them two days off, and each team took turns to enter Bami City with half of the people, with an interval of about ten days.
