    The endless torrent is not just the road Zheng Tianmin saw. Monan East Town, Monan West Town, Monan Middle Town, Mobei Moxi, Shaanxi Gansu Yulin and other places all have their own roads leading to Xuanfu Town.  Then a steady stream of soldiers and horses came from these roads to Xuanfu Town.  With the sound of thunderous hooves, about 5,000 cavalrymen passed through the checkpoints at Guangwu, Yingchang and other outposts in Monandong Town and rushed toward Kaiping City.  They are skilled in equestrian skills and have many horses. Some even have two or three horses. They are holding various Sulu ingots and hanging wolf skins of different shapes. Under the helmets, they have the same plateau red pancake face and small eyes.  All the troops in Mobei were mobilized in response to orders from the Protectorate.  There are about five thousand of them, all of whom are armored soldiers, and they are personally led by Tuxietu Khan, King Gunbu and others.  The order from the Protectorate was spread to all directions, and the text stated that troops must be sent out, and specifically pointed out that ordinary infantry were not to be used, but elite servants, armored soldiers and elite cavalry were required.  Gunbu and others did not dare to resist the order of the Protectorate to send troops. Based on their current understanding of Wang Dou and others, if they did not send troops, they would definitely not get good results in the future.  Not to mention anything else, they would not be able to bear just banning them from coming to Guihua City, let alone trade sanctions and military attacks.  Especially people like Gun Bu and others lived in Guihua City for most of the year. Many of their family members also moved into Guihua City. They all made a fortune in the Han-Mongolian trade. It was reasonable and reasonable for them to send troops.  Moreover, future rewards for capture are also very attractive to them, especially the possibility of capturing Meng Dingkou.  So they not only sent out troops, but also all armored soldiers, who were the strongest warriors from each tribe, gathering a total of five thousand people.  Their standard equipment is a straight horse and a pair of horses, as well as willow leaf armor, bow armor, crescent knife, horn bow, big bow, hook spear and other long armor. Some people are also equipped with short axes or sledgehammers.  Heavy troops.  These were the standard equipment of the Yuan army back then, and some of these Mongolian tribes still have them left over.  Five thousand people riding more than ten thousand horses can be described as a huge force.  They also took the road to Monandong Town. This road had many water sources and abundant water and grass, so it was relatively easy to walk.  During the Ming Dynasty's several northern expeditions, they mostly took the road to Monandong Town.  If you go to Monanzhong Town, you have to cross a thousand miles of desert, which is as scary as the Mongolians.  With the same mentality as them, there are numerous Mongolian tribes in Hetao, Qinghai and other places. They need to send troops for various reasons, not to mention the personal letters of Ngawang Losang Gyatso to persuade them.  They also gathered five thousand armored soldiers, all led by the local chieftain tribe, and hurried to Xuanfu Town.  Compared with the Mongolian tribes in Mobei, they have obviously been assimilated a lot by the local area, and their armor and weapons all have obvious Tibetan style.  ¡­ With angry horses like dragons, hundreds of cavalry galloped on the grassland, heading towards Kaipingwei. Their armor, clothing, and flags were not much different from those of the Mongolians in Mobei, but they were more sophisticated.  Moreover, among the cavalry there is a gold-rimmed Sun and Moon Flag flying in the wind, but it is the Mongolian cavalry of the newly attached camp of the Chinese Army.  Running at the front were two short and stocky Mongolians, wearing very well-made fine iron scale armor and eight-petal hats and helmets. They were quite different from the Mongolians behind them, but they were Gared.  and Tabu Nang.  ?Seeing that they were in high spirits and the plateau red on their faces had faded a lot, it was obvious that they had lived a quite comfortable life in the past two years.  Indeed, after the great battle outside the Great Wall in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the two of them obtained great military merits. In particular, Tabu Nang received one hundred merit points, and Galed also received a lot of merit points. Then they exchanged a large number of merit points in unison.  Manor, living the life of a manor owner.  And because of their military merit, their family directly skipped the Yi registration and changed from temporary residence to naturalized registration.  Gared also married Tabunang's sister Ulunzhurig, bought a small courtyard in Xuanfu Town, opened a small shop, and lived a happy life.  In their careers, they were also very successful. Each of them became a general, with two to three hundred people under his command.  The Duhufu¡¯s rules for those who surrendered to the Mongols were that those who surrendered to the Mongols could obtain barbarian citizenship.  Then divide the land and pasture, live a settled life, and allow trade exchanges with the Protectorate.  Attacks between these vassal tribes are prohibited, and cross-border crossing is strictly prohibited, otherwise they will be attacked by Zeng Jiyi Lei, who is in charge of the new annexed camp.  But they can develop outward, attack those tribes that do not surrender, go to the mountains and old forests to catch savages, etc., and then judge how to divide the credit, how to divide the population, pasture, etc. based on the sacrifices.  After the troops outside the Great Wall ceased, most of the tribes that surrendered developed outwards. Gared and Tabunang became army officers due to their military merits, and they were also quite effective in expanding the territory. Judging from their sacrifices, they gained different numbers of people.  There are hundreds of young men.  Based on their military merit and the population of their subordinates, they were recently promoted to commander-in-chief. The grassland is also near the Luoma River, the boundary of the original Kaiping Zuotunwei territory.  Because of this, the new attached campThe ancient army has also developed from the original three thousand cavalry to the current five thousand cavalry.  "Galed, we are about to enter the Duhu Mansion. Let the children under your command be more careful. Some of the newly recruited barbarians in the department have never seen the world and may violate military discipline." Looking at a hill in front of him, Tabu Nang deliberately  He told Garred beside him.  Galeder said: "I know that our Jingbian Army has strict military discipline, and we are especially not allowed to loot and disturb the people. It is a small matter for those barbarians to ruin their careers in the army, but it will be a big deal." What the two of them said.  They were all in Chinese, but stammering, but they still spoke with difficulty.  Both of them are now naturalized, and the next step is to become Chinese. To become Han, the language barrier must be overcome, otherwise there is no need to think about future assessments. ???????????????? Only with Han nationality can you truly integrate into the atmosphere of the Protectorate and achieve greater development in the military in the future, so when the two of them are here, they can practice more when they have nothing to do.   In the torrent of march, all kinds of flags were flying. In addition to the regular soldiers, there were actually many escort agencies and civilian teams. They were all under the control of the Chinese Army, so each team carried a gold-rimmed Sun, Moon and Waves flag.  .  In addition, there are also their own flags, and there are all kinds of scary flags gathered together. In particular, the escort agencies are known as places where knights, swordsmen, and swordsmen gather. The flags they fly are even more romantic.  ism color.  After entering Xuanfu Town, they also received red uniform vests with gold rims. The same uniforms always tend to enhance the centripetal force.  More importantly, compared with the uniforms of the regular army, which are easier to identify, their uniforms are too complicated. After wearing the uniforms, it is helpful to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy during war, so as to avoid accidentally killing one's own people. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There is still an endless stream of people and horses, and the torrent of progress seems to be endless.  As an important road transportation hub, the post station Pudi was arranged as an important military supply station along the way during this campaign. After the marching team arrived here, they could take a rest, drink some hot water, and eat some hot steamed buns or steamed buns.  Big cake to replenish your energy.  Depending on the distance of the march, some post stations also have large-scale canteens next to the shops. Sufficient amounts of fresh soup and meat are prepared in the halls, so that the sergeants who have been away for a day can eat and drink as much as they want.  In terms of logistical support, the Logistics Department has been impeccable this time.  A long pergola has been built next to Yehuling Pudi. The heat in the shed is steaming. Buckets of hot water are boiling, and then tea leaves are put in.  There were also cages of steamed buns and steamed buns thrown out, just for the marching soldiers to eat and drink.  There is also a manger in which clean water is constantly poured into for everyone's horses to drink.  At this time, there was an escort agency stopping here to take a rest. In addition to the Chinese military flag, there were also escort flags.  One side of the flag says "Zhenwu Escort Bureau", and the other side depicts a crab with teeth and claws.  The escorts drank tea, ate steamed buns, and waited on the horses. They all laughed happily and spoke loudly.  While we were talking and laughing, suddenly another escort arrived, with the words "Zhenwei Escort" written on it, and a big Taotie painted on one side of the flag.  They stopped at the pergola and seemed ready to take a rest.  "Black hair?" "Old bandit?" At this time, surprise greetings suddenly sounded from the two escort agencies, and then they saw a rough escort with a few black hairs around his mouth and a scar on his face hugging each other.  Heimao said excitedly: "Farewell to Mobei, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, right? Old bandit, I heard that you went to the west, how is it there?" The old bandit said: "There are many opportunities to make a fortune, it depends on whether you dare to fight for it or not.  How are you?" Heimao said: "It's not bad. I killed dozens of red-haired ghosts not long ago. I heard that there are still more at Haizi. I'll deal with them later." The old bandit said: "Haha, these days,  The timid will be starved to death, and the bold will be starved to death. As long as you dare to fight, there will be opportunities to make money everywhere. "Heimao said: "By the way, is there any news about Lao Hu? After we left Taixingmen, there was no news about this guy.  "Grandma, I'm still waiting to see my sister-in-law." The old bandit said: "No, didn't you give him a name card? Alas, we brothers don't know when we can get together" "This black hair,  The old bandit was an old friend that Lao Hu met at Taixing Gate in Zhencheng at that time, a brother in the Shanhai Navy in the past.  When Lao Hu went on a mission, Heimao and the old bandit followed the "Zhenwu Escort" northward. Soon after, the old bandit jumped ship to the "Zhenwei Escort" and went to the Western Regions. It was many years later that they met Heimao at this time.  The brothers were overjoyed to see each other again. The two talked and each led their horses to drink water. Heimao quickly went to fetch a few buns.  The two of them gnawed on the buns and talked while watching the torrent of metal on the road still rolling in, and the flags spreading to the other side of the mountain.  What about black hair?He said: "I have watched it so many times, but I still feel that this scene is too big." The old bandit also sighed with emotion: "Yes, you will never see such a big scene a few times in your life."  A huge crowd of people gathered,  A steady stream of people gathered in Xuanfu Town.  On April 12, the prince officially announced the supervision of the country in Xuanfu Town, and paid homage to the general Zhenglu. Wang Dou, the Marquis of Yongning, was appointed Duke of Jingguo. He was awarded the title of "General Supervisor of Chinese and Foreign Military Affairs" plus "Doctor Guanglu" and was awarded the title of Shangzhuguo. He was still assigned the title of Zhengguo.  Seal of the general.  During wartime, all local officials, whether civil or military, were under the control of the general who conquered the captives.  On the same day, an order was issued in the name of the prince and the governor of the country, "Preach to all roads, call for loyalty, and gather in groups to fight against the thieves." The officials and generals of the unoccupied areas needed to summon troops and horses to fight vigorously in response to the battle of the capital.  Anyone who dares to wait and see is cowardly will be treated as a traitor after the war.  At this time, Wang Dou also had several official titles: Governor, Marshal, and General.  Dadudu is an official title. In the past, although Wang Dou was a general who conquered captives, he only controlled military generals during war and could not control them on weekdays. After Wang Dou became "commander in charge of Chinese and foreign military affairs", his power to manage military attaches and generals in the future was also transferred from the Ministry of War.  into the hands of Wang Dou.  Of course, military attach¨¦s and generals within the general system would not call Wang Dou the Governor, but would call him Marshal more affectionately.  Only civil servants and ministers would call him the Grand Governor.  As for the officers and generals in Wang Dou¡¯s system, they still call him the general. After all, Wang Dou is still the general of the conquests. With this mark, they are used to calling him this way, and it seems closer and more cordial.  In short, the current governors, marshals, and generals of the Ming Dynasty are all Wang Dou.  It was also around noon on the 12th that a group of people rushed to Xuanfu Town, not far from the town of Huai'anwei.  The armor of this group of people is old and worn, and the horses are thin. The leader is a group of generals with helmets on their heads. Their armor is also worn out, and some even have holes and patches on their cloaks.  The leader is a veteran in his sixties, with a face covered in wind, frost, dust, and criss-crossing ravines.  He also wore a suit of old armor, and the cape was mottled. It was obvious that it was full of time and stories.  However, he has a calm and down-to-earth demeanor and sharp eyes. He is obviously a veteran with military experience.  He rode a maroon war horse. At this time, he only looked at the rolling red tide walking on the official road with a complicated expression. Looking at the seemingly endless troops and horses, he sighed for a long time: "This is the power of Yongning Marquis.  "The general's troops?" After entering Datong, I saw a rolling torrent of people walking on the road. They were all Yongninghou's troops. Then I entered Xuanfu Town. How many troops and horses were gathered?  It couldn't be seen at a glance, and The officers and soldiers beside him were also shocked. This kind of power was beyond their imagination. This kind of strength that was no longer hidden was too terrifying.  Especially looking at the sea of ??armor, the exquisite eight-petal helmet, the exquisite stamped breastplate, and the exquisite firearms.  Looking at themselves again, they were all gray and dusty, their clothes and armor were old and full of holes They all stared at it blankly, with a look of grievance and jealousy in their eyes. They asked about the person walking below.  The C-class army under the command of Yongning Marquis.  In other words, they used to be just soldiers, but look at the equipment of these soldiers, and then look at themselves.  Many people couldn¡¯t wait to rush down, grab the fine armor below, and put it on themselves.  After a long time, the veteran sighed, and a general beside him said: "Youshuai, do you still want to go on your way? Do you want to take a rest?" Another general also said: "Commander, why don't we let the children take a breath?  Anyway, we are not far from the town, and we will definitely be able to reach Xuanfu town at noon today. " This veteran is none other than You Shiwei, a member of the Yulin Guards. He served as a general in Jianchang camp during the Tianqi period, and was promoted to the chief military officer in the second year of Chongzhen.  , together with his elder brother You Shigong and younger brother You Shilu, are known for their bravery.  Historically, the veteran general was idle at home. When the intruders invaded Yulin, the commander-in-chief Wang Ding abandoned the city and fled. Everyone discussed defending the city and recommended You Shiwei as the commander-in-chief.  They defended for seven days and nights. In the end, the invaders dug tunnels to the city wall and bombed it with artillery. The city was finally lost. You Shiwei led the people to fight in the streets. In the end, he, his brothers, his cousin and others all died in the battle.  At that time, hundreds of Yulin generals were martyred. You Shiwei and his whole family were caught in the flames. He himself died in the middle of the street in a sudden battle with a knife. All the women in the city committed suicide, and none of them survived. It was extremely tragic.  At this time, history has changed, and nothing happened in Shaanxi. However, they also received a recruitment order issued by Wang Dou in the name of the general who conquered the captives.  After deliberation between the generals and generals of Yulin City, a total of 2,000 elite servants were gathered to participate in the battle. There were hundreds of officers and generals among them. They were formerly guerrillas, now guerrillas, former generals, current generals, and former deputy generals.  The current deputy generals are densely packed.  But there is no way. Although Yulin is the place where the most powerful soldiers in the world are located,The salary has been cut off for many years, and the sergeants are in dire straits. Even as guerrillas, many of them only have dozens of servants. It is already good that they can gather 2,000 elite cavalry to come here.  They still recommended You Shiwei as their coach. After traveling day and night, they finally arrived at Xuanfu Town today, and they missed the right time.  Not only them, in fact, Wang Dou's recruitment orders in the name of generals were also sent to many places, including Shaanxi Commander Gao Jie, Ningxia Commander Fumin, Yulin Commander Wang Ding, Guxian Commander Gao Ruli, and Guyuan Commander Niu Chenghu.  , Ma Xu, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, Chen Yongfu, the commander-in-chief of Henan Province who was in Shaanxi at this time, and so on.  There are also deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas from various places, and many people have also received recruitment orders.  About 10,000 servants and cavalrymen were mobilized from Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Yulin and other places.  (To be continued.)
