Chapter 220: Dismounting
The so-called Duoyan Sanwei is actually a very special force, and the cavalry under Zhu Di is already considered the elite of the elite, but it is still not as good as Duoyan Sanwei to fight well... The reason for this is that this army is all Mongols.
In a sense, Duoyan Sanwei is an international column of the Ming Dynasty.
The Mongols are a people who grew up immediately, and they are superb in riding and archery, and the only thing that can restrain them is armor weapons and logistical supplies, but after they worked for the Ming Dynasty, all this was perfectly solved, so Duoyan Sanwei is the most powerful cavalry in the current era, and there is really no moisture.
So the question is, why would these Mongols be willing to work for the Ming Dynasty?
In fact, the answer is very simple, because the Ming Dynasty will pay salaries, and never in arrears, these cavalry left in the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty in addition to not worrying about weapons and equipment, usually full of food can also go to entertainment venues to relax, but the Yuan Dynasty was often white, before the war said that it was their own, the result is often that the spoils of war come back from the war to be confiscated first, and finally sent down a little pitifully.
This is an obvious loss-making deal, Liaodong is already poor, desperately going south to grab things is not their own, in case of death on the battlefield is estimated that no one will take care of the burial, and at this time the Ming Dynasty stood up, not only monthly payment but also welfare protection, at the beginning countless Mongolians wandering outside Xuanfu Liaodong were attracted by this policy.
It is difficult to remain loyal in the face of interests.
So as many as tens of thousands of cavalry took root in Daning, and even gradually evolved into a mercenary-like tribe, although it was classified as the commander of King Ning, but in addition to being paid to support it on weekdays, when it came to war, it had to pay extra money to hire, maybe you had to talk about the conditions, it was like the uncle of the uncle.
But these people are really reliable, they will do things when they collect money, and they will fight people of the same clan to start with it, which is called a ruthless and excellent combat effectiveness, so in recent years, the Mongols in Liaodong have gone south, and King Ning has to thank God if he doesn't take Duoyan Sanwei to trouble them.
This is an army that Zhu Di has ever dreamed of, but before he can get his hands on them, there is one more person that needs to be solved, and that is King Ning.
However, for King Ning, the seventeenth brother, Zhu Di is really not sure what he will do when he knows his plans... Looking at his behavior in the past six months, maybe he can do anything to tie himself up and send it to the imperial court, which is why Gu Huai came to Daning first.
After Songting Pass, and after two days and two nights, Gu Huai and others arrived at a place called Zhaojiayu, which was only half a day's journey from Daning, so it gradually formed a small town, Gu Huai placed three horses here, and inquired in detail about the local geography and people, and waited until everything was ready, and then pretended to be a merchant and took Wei Laosan to Daning.
The reason why I didn't bring the mango seed... It's really too conspicuous for the trio, and Wei Laosan and Mang Chong seem to be born with a little bit of a mismatch, rather than letting the two of them talk all the way, it is better to let Mang Chong honestly collect intelligence outside the city, after all, Zhu Di is still waiting for news here, and time is getting tighter and tighter.
Although Daning is the residence of the vassal king, but strictly speaking, this place is outside the plug, so it is desolate and desolate, a lonely city stands on the horizon from afar, far less than a few cities that Gu Huai has visited, not to mention compared with Jinling Beiping, even Zhending Taozhou can not be compared, the city wall has few bricks and stones, mostly loess barriers, and the city wall is short, only the city tower door hole is made of bricks and stones, at this moment the city gate has a large number of soldiers guarding, is checking the herdsmen and people who have entered the city, Gu Huai slightly lowered his hat, and made a look at Wei Laosan, shouted in the process of queuing.
There are some mountain goods in the burden, which is not easy to sell in this place, so it is normal to shout twice in the interval of queuing at the city gate, and there are originally people who see these two merchants one tall and one short, a rough and a thin combination is too strange, at this moment I listened to this shouting and also retracted my curious sight, but it was these two people who drove the atmosphere at the city gate, and the shouting and selling came and went one after another, and I didn't know if I was afraid that I thought I had arrived at what vegetable market.
The soldiers naturally did not care about this situation, and even if they started to buy and sell, the long procession was entering the city in an orderly manner, and suddenly there was smoke and dust in the distance, and the soldiers and the people were curious, and they saw a group of knights rushing to the city gate with a carriage.
Immediately, the knights were dressed in hunting clothes, and the carriage was also luxuriously decorated, Gu Huai's heart moved, and he secretly said that it was not so coincidental, and he saw a few soldiers waving the long song in their hands:
"Stop, dismount, and be cross-examined!"
When the honest people saw this kind of battle, they naturally made way for the nobles who didn't know the origin, but the guards of the city who stood behind the horses and antlers did not get out of the way, seeing that these people were raging, not only did not remove the obstacles, but raised their hands and scolded loudly.
"Bastard!"
The coachman who drove the car was a man in his forties, with a burly head in green cloth, and seeing that the soldiers not only did not let him but also raised his weapons, he whipped the long whip in his hand, and made a sound in the air with a "snap", and said angrily: "Blind your dog's eyes, didn't you see that it was the carriage of King Ning's mansion?!" ”
"Ning Wangfu?"
Gu Huai and Wei Laosan glanced at each other, but they really didn't expect to meet the main owner when they arrived in Daning.
"What's wrong with King Ning's Mansion? At present, the Yan clan is rebelling, and the situation in the north is turbulent, let's be ordered by the commander of the guard to strictly investigate all the people who enter the city and pass through the customs, do you hear clearly, it's everyone! ”
Under the city gate, a person dressed as an officer walked out slowly, standing in the shadow of the city wall and smiling: "Even if it is Ning Wangfu, you can't be unruly, right?" ”
These words made the handlebar style very angry, and he also knew the officer in front of him, after all, Daning is so big, and he wanted to put it in the frame of the Ning Wangfu before, and this guy was afraid that he would have already made people clear the city gate and move away from the obstacles, nodding and eating the dust behind the carriage to send them into the city, but now it's good, his mother also pretended to be a strong order, and the people who don't know are afraid that they really think that this guy is a good Qiu Ba who is not afraid of power and strictly abides by military orders.
"Dogs fight human power! Give you three points of color, don't even my Ning Wangfu take it seriously! ”
Before the words fell, the handlebar style had already flown off the carriage, and the long braid in his hand was drawn towards the officer, who was afraid and didn't expect that the subordinates of the Ning Wangfu would dare to do it directly, and hurriedly rolled on the spot, so he avoided the whip that was drawn, but the action was really ugly, which made the people on the side laugh, he got up in dust, and said angrily: "Bastard! It's just a coachman, and he dares to attack the defenders of the city! Come, shoot the bow and raise the gun, but if they dare to go further, they will be killed! ”
"Yes!" The military order has been given, the guards of the city suddenly agreed, they raised their hands and took a step forward, the soldiers on the city gate also opened their bows, and one by one the feathered arrows pointed at the Tsing Yi knight in front of the city gate and the extravagant carriage, the coachman who drove the car was furious, and was about to shake the whip again, but a clear and crisp voice came out of the carriage:
"Kill? Who are you going to kill? ”
One hand lifted the sedan curtain, the petite figure walked out of the carriage, under the hunting suit, the beautiful and delicate face was undisguised annoyance, it seemed that there was still some Hu blood, but the age was not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but the officer guarding the city saw her face, his arrogance disappeared by three points, and after hesitating for a moment, he arched his hand and said: "Humble duty... Met the princess. ”
"Princess?"
Gu Huai's heart sank, this person is actually Princess Ning? Looking at this situation, it should be that he returned from a safari out of the city, but King Ning is a few years younger than Zhu Di, and the princess of the palace is actually so young, and she is still an exotic beauty?
And the scene in front of the city gate is a bit intriguing... Even if the dark tide was surging in Beiping City at the beginning, Yan Wangfu was not slapped in the face without the slightest emotion, is the current situation of Ning Wangfu worse than the original Yanwang Mansion?
Princess Ning, who actually entered the city gate and was stopped and given a dismount?
Gu Huai smiled, and the old god put down the burden he was carrying on the ground, and clapped his hands gently:
"It's kind of interesting."
