The first thousand five hundred and eighty-four chapters

In addition to the baggage camp, the hunting cavalry camps several miles away also sounded trumpets. Soon, the red cavalry rushed to the gate, with less than 200 people, which should be a rotating company whistle.

The hunting cavalrymen have this style. Even if there is an enemy attack, they will take the initiative to fight and will never consider defending in the camp.

Now it is Yang Sixun, the division commander, is responsible for the overall battalion. The guard order should be under Yang Sixun's office. Not long after, Zhang Chunniu and others saw Nie Lei and others surrounded by a group of military officials and rode their horses. When they were closer, a sharp-eyed person shouted: "It's Zhengshi Sun who is here."

Zhang Chunniu opened the telescope and observed carefully, and found that Sun Jingting, who was wearing a blue official uniform, was in the middle of the horse team.

Zhang Chunniu put down the telescope. Although he was a little excited, he had no intention of greeting him.

Before the military order arrived, the entire battalion was in full alert period, so he didn't say anything to welcome him. Even if Sun Jingting came in, it would be considered a violation of the order. He didn't want to joke with his future.

There were also many senior military officers following Sun Jingting, with dozens of people following him, among which the most eye-catching one was Tian Jitang and Hutchison's famous God of Wealth.

After half a quarter of an hour, Sun Jingting and others were already very close. At this time, military orders were sent from the direction of the Lancer Regiment's garrison, ordering each regiment and battalion to line up.

After receiving the military order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to open the camp gate. A large number of war soldiers and baggage soldiers ran out of each regiment and battalion base.

A deputy next to Zhang Chunniu smiled and said, "Mr. Sun has never liked to show off his show, it's a bit special today."

Someone answered: "Now Lord Sun is a great political official, which is equivalent to being a minister, which is different from before."

Now everyone in the Heji knows that Sun Jingting is in charge of all military and political affairs, and the Privy Council is in charge of specific military affairs, and the military and political affairs are generally separated. For such an arrangement, everyone obeys, and they also know that Zhang Han wants to re-establish the prime minister, which is equivalent to helping Sun Jingting determine his prestige in advance, but some people still feel uncomfortable, and it should be said that a lot of people feel uncomfortable.

Many people only recognize Zhang Han when they join Hutchison or know Hutchison. Now Sun Jingting monopolizes the power. Although the military power is not in hand, and it is out of Zhang Han's own arrangement, there are not many people who are dissatisfied with skepticism.

When Zhang Chunniu heard the words of these two people, he smiled and said, "You don't speak, and no one thinks you are mute."

The two of them were scolded and could only shut up, but their cheeks still bulged.

It doesn't matter to Zhang Chunniu. With his ability, qualifications, and reputation, it is quite easy to master a corps. Although he has been in office for a short time, he has straightened out the regiment affairs and has taken a brigade he originally commanded to take office, which makes it easier for Zhang Chunniu to master the troops.

"Mr. Sun is in charge of the overall situation," Zhang Chunniu stared at the two of them and said seriously: "I know what you think, but Mr. Sun never manages his own connections. People like him cannot be at ease as a prime minister. Could it be that our Hutchison is also learning from the Ming Dynasty, with different powers, unjust reputations, and all things are constrained, and you will be happy if you do everything?"

Both of them bowed, and one of them said, "How dare we? It's just that Lord Zhang is now in Xinpingbao, and we were brought out all the way. If it weren't Lord Zhang, I would have a layer of skin if I don't starve to death. So when I think of Lord Zhang in a dangerous place, I feel uncomfortable."

Zhang Chunniu sighed and said, "Who is not like you? I have applied for Hutchison much earlier than you. I came here at the beginning. Don't worry, with Hutchison and the merchant army here, and with Master Zhang in Xinpingbao, he will be safe and sound."

Everyone was speechless for a moment. Although Zhang Chunniu comforted everyone, he was actually quite worried.

No matter what, Zhang Han is in danger now, and it is quite obvious inside Hutchison. Sun Jingting can hold power, and Liang Xing of the Privy Council can also convince people, but this is under the premise of Zhang Han's arrangement.

If Sun Liang and others attempt to stand on their own, the Muji will immediately fall apart.

After the regiment battalions were lined up, the entire world was filled with gray black and bright red.

The originally white and withered yellow earth seemed to disappear suddenly. People could only see bright red flags, the red robes of hunting cavalrymen, the gray uniforms of the dragon cavalrymen, and the black armor and vests of the lancers. Each lancer seemed like a statue, but everyone knew that once the statue moved, it would bring about the might of the sky and the earth.

Before Sun Jingting and others arrived at various departments, they did not come up to review the team, but kept looking to the south, as if they were waiting for something.

Everyone was worried and didn't know what important person this Hutchison master is waiting for.

...

Zhang Yansheng and Lu Si took over a new force in early September. This army was called the Fifth Company of the Northbound Detachment. According to the current plan of the Privy Council and the Staff Department, a part of the Northbound troops headed north along the northwest of the Barhu Grassland, heading straight to the Nenjiang and Heilongjiang areas, establishing northbound routes and supply points there, and trying to settle down to comfort the chieftains of various garrisons, Xiaoyu's grassland changes, and prompting them to surrender to the Muslim Records.

The baggage team that had been converted into a pure transportation function followed and followed a large amount of supplies and personnel.

Of course, we have to advance the troops to fight the passageway, and then eliminate those restless small tribes before the influx of materials will be in large quantities.

Those who obey will be appeased by Xiaoyu.

Those who disobey will of course use swords.

Several other troops also advanced from the northeast to the southwest or northwest, along the Nenjiang River, Asu River, Hulan River and other places to the hinterland.

The company led by Zhang Yansheng and Lu Si, together with the other companies, advanced from the northernmost end of Korqin and Bahrain to the hinterland, almost all of which were by land, and of course there were rivers and waters, but they were mainly based on land. They followed the old post road and post station of the Molusun Station in the Yuan Dynasty. It should be a relatively difficult route to advance north.

Several routes are from east to west, from north to the extreme north or the hinterland in the south. The target center point is the former site of Nuergandusdus City, which was called Trinity City in the early Ming Dynasty.

The waters there were mixed together, and it was the place where rivers gathered, and the end of the important post roads northward in the Yuan Dynasty, Manzhan Station. In the early Ming Dynasty, it actually went north by pure waterways, eunuchs and generals transported supplies from the sea, and then went north along the rivers with large ships. At that time, the Nuergandusi had established more than 100 garrisons. The Ming army went north to further attack the forces of the Yuan Dynasty, fearing that the Mongols would gather in the extreme north to cause trouble, so it was one of the grand strategies to unify the banner. Zhu Di once said that this was the key of the north, which was quite important, but after he said this, the Nuergandusi was forced to give up because he sent Zheng He to sea, built the Dabaoen Temple in Nanjing, built the Beijing City, built the Wudang Mountain Palace, and 300,000 people to conquer Annan.

Of course, it was also the series of sequelae brought by Zhu Di for the sake of the Jingnan Campaign, Duoyan's three guards and abandoned the series of sequelae brought by the important city and fortress in the northern part of Daning City.

Nuergandusi was divided into two major waters. During the Hongwu period, the Ming army mainly transported seashore from the Yalu River estuary, and then carried personnel and supplies to continue north along the rivers. Judging from the water maps of later Russians, the Ming army had two waterways on the west side, one to the hinterland of Trinin and the other to the northern estuary along the coastline, occupying Sakhalin Island, and the branches turned back to the southeast.

The vast land of more than one million square kilometers northeast and the mountains that stretch thousands of miles away such as the Outer Xing'an Mountains, without such sufficient water resources, it would be difficult for the Ming army to complete the feat of going north in a short time, and issued silver seals all the way to determine the garrison. In addition, the Dusi established the Dusi in the city of Nuergandusi. Hundreds of years later, the stone tablets when the Dusi were established were still collected in museums in foreign countries. The Ming army established two water supply routes, east and west, set up post stations along the way, established garrisons, and established Dusi. This was a completely established practice of rule. In later generations, some people said that the Nuergandusi was just a policy of restraining the Nuergandusi, which did not mean that the Ming Dynasty had ruled this vast area, which was of course unreasonable.

The Ming army withdrew and gave up direct rule because of the consumption of national strength and the danger of the natural environment. However, at least within the decades from Hongwu to Yongle, the Ming Dynasty established direct rule over this area. It can be said that this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Ming power withdraws, it was once commanded by the enthroned guards, that is, the leaders of large and small tribes still regarded the Ming Dynasty as the main force. Before the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, the commanders of the Nuergandusi had always paid tribute to the endless tribute.

Of course, this kind of tribute is indeed a throne, but it is also a throne based on the direct rule between Hongwu and Yongle. If it were not for the rise of the Jurchens, this throne could still be transformed into actual throne as China's national strength increased.

After the first snow, the forward company did not go north directly. Zhang Yansheng and Lu Si have been receiving volunteers who have come to report one after another.

Unlike ordinary companies, the northbound troops only accept volunteers, even if they are just a Tangma, they are volunteers.

All troops generally have registration points. Those who are willing to register for northbound can register their names at any time. After verifying personal information and taking comprehensive considerations, each troops will submit the list of qualified personnel, and then the northbound troops will be allocated to each company.

Since all of them are volunteers, the quality of the troops is quite high, and they are quite strong in terms of personal will and perseverance, physical fitness and various abilities.

Many people pass the equestrian skills, are very strong in physical strength, and are accompanied by quite a few military doctors.

After heading north, they face long-term activities or combat in the enemy territory. The senior military chief reminded not to regard the obedience of those tribes who have come to join as the norm.

If you continue to move north along the rivers, you may face those pure barbaric tribes that have been active in the edges of dense forests and rivers for a long time. Even if they have been enthroned, have been at least not available for more than a hundred years, and are very hostile to foreign invaders. They are vulnerable on the front battlefield, but they may use continuous harassment to consume the physical strength and vigilance of the northbound people. There will be a lot of secrets, and one negligence may be a life if one negligence is on the northern bank of rivers and deep in the dense forests.

With long-term garrison and the consumption of guerrilla tactics, whether the northbound troops can take root is also the confidence that Hutchison can completely regain Nuer Gandusi within a few years.

The advance troops took root and cleared the passages, whether by land or water, that is, the baggage engineering troops continued to enter, built post roads, established post stations, and built towns. The scale might not be very large in the early days, but the land on the Songnen Plain was tempting enough to first establish a few large farming bases, build castles and market towns, and become large bases that continue to go north, and then you can advance all the way to the seaside to completely take down this large area of ​​land.
