Ming Dynasty, the upper reaches of the Qinlulian River in Hanzhou, Hailar Province, Wenduerhan City.

As the city closest to the Khanate ruled area, Wendurhan was adopted as a key border defense after falling into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. After the Khanate took the initiative to block the border, Wendurhan became a purely important military center.

The spectacular scene of large-scale escape from herd slaves in the past was gone for a long time. Now on the borders of the two countries, there are only countless corpses flying freely in the strong winds in the northern desert. Occasionally, the cavalry of the Khanate deliberately approached Wendurhan to search for information, but as long as they were discovered, they were shot and killed by the Ming army.

The Ming army also knew how to reciprocate and crossed the border and headed to the territory of the Khan Court. Whenever they encountered living creatures, they would be shot and killed.

Such a confrontation lasted for two or three years, until now the main force of the Khan Party returned to the north of the desert. The scouts of the Khan Party no longer crossed the border, and the border troops of the Ming Dynasty did not provoke it. The two sides maintained a tacit understanding and quietness on the border, but the defenders of Wenduerhan felt a sense of urgency that the storm was about to come.

However, the geese flying south, wild donkeys eating quietly, and fish quietly spitting bubbles in the river, cannot feel the strange atmosphere on the border. For them, the grassland without humans is their Garden of Eden.

So when Ulutus was galloping outside the city of Windurhan, he saw a group of passing wild horses.

"It's a pity that such a good pasture!" Looking at the endless grassland, Ulutus felt refreshed. But without the familiar yurts and large areas of cattle and sheep, I always felt that something was missing.

"Don't worry, your highness! When the desert north is full of return to the Ming Dynasty, this place will be like the eastern Mongolian grassland, with cattle and sheep everywhere, and the people will be happy." The governor of Hailar Province, Chacha Naduo, was waiting around Ulutus, and he hurriedly comforted him when he heard this.

However, because it is located on the front line, the area where Wendurhan is located is listed as a military restricted area. Ordinary herders have been moved to the East Mongolian grassland to resettlement. Now with the return of the main force of the Khan Court, the scope of the restricted area has also expanded. The boundary west of the Fishing Sea is not allowed to grazle.

This is also to avoid the Khanate cavalry raiding the Eastern Mongolian grasslands, causing unnecessary casualties and injuries to herders. Moreover, so many cattle and sheep will become supplies for these Mongolian cavalry, so they can only clear the fields with walls.

"Haha, you're so angry!" Ulutus ran for a while, slowly slowed down his horse, and let him move towards the direction of Wendurhan City.

"Your Highness's clarity! Our Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and the heroes of the grassland are here to do it!" Chacha Nao flattered the horse seriously.

"Your Highness, all the soldiers of the Northern Army are ready. If the Khanate dares to come, they will definitely not return." Quan Xu saw that Chacha Naduo kept showing his loyalty, and even if he was not good at speaking, he still squeezed out a few festive words.

"It's enough for you to have this heart!" Wulutus responded, and said a little solemnly: "The old saying goes: "It is said that people have lost their land, and people and land are all there. People and land are lost. The vast vast state is vast and there is no natural danger to defend. If a large army attacks, you can't resist it, and you can rely on the city of Wenduerhan as your support.

I want Wendurhan to become a nail in the grassland. As long as I don’t get rid of it for a day, the army of the Khan Court will not dare to fight with all its might. The top priority of yours is to harass the baggage."

In order to turn Wenduerhan into a nail, the original earth-yellow city walls have been completely replaced by cement. A wide moat was built around the city. When the water of the Chilü River was introduced, the protection of Wenduerhan City increased by another step.

In addition, all kinds of firearms, weapons, and food were transported into Wenduerhan City early to store. This matter did not begin after the return of the main force of the Khan Court, but began to prepare after Wenduerhan fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

A large part of the taxes in Hailar Province are used to purchase military supplies and transport them directly to Wendurhan City.

After so long preparations, Wendurhan has already had the possibility of nailing the material conditions. After all, the food and grass in the city can be enough for the army to eat for three years.

"As long as your highness's instructions, I will do my best." Quan Xu and Chacha Naduo said in unison.

After explaining this, Ulutus went to the city barracks to take a look. Now because of the Northern Army's arrival, the city barracks are divided into two. One is the border army barracks that were originally stationed here, and the other is the new Northern Army.

Ulutus was the first border army camp to go.

Although the border troops were not considered regular troops, they had been stationed in Wendurhan for so long, and they had no credit and worked hard. Ulutus went to comfort their pain in guarding the border.

"Long live Your Highness! Long live Your Highness!" Many soldiers shouted excitedly when they saw the legendary Ming king.

Among these border troops, the main ones are good families in Liaodong. They all received the favor of Ulutus to own the land and let their families live a relatively peaceful and prosperous life. Therefore, their loyalty to Ulutus is also the most fulfilling.

The other ones are the herdsmen who escaped from the northern desert.

These people hated the Khan Court, so they were very active in killing the enemy at the forefront of fighting with the Khan Court.

Chacha Naduo introduced the commanders and outstanding soldiers in the army to Ulutus. Unlike the inland provinces in the Ming Dynasty, the governors of the border provinces had real military power. Therefore, he was also in charge of the border troops in Hailar Province.

Now there are 50,000 border troops in Hailar Province! After the militia in Longjiang Province were reorganized into the Eastern Army, the number of local troops in Hailar Province was the largest. And it was the case that all were full.

However, there are only 20,000 people stationed in Wendurhan. This is also to avoid stimulating the Khan Court! In the end, too many troops stationed in one go can easily stimulate the sensitive nerves of the Khan Court.

After such comfort, Ulutus announced that the remaining 20,000 border troops would be transferred to Manzhouli.

Compared with Wendurhan, Manzhouli, as a provincial capital, has a large regional center commercial attribute in addition to its military attributes. In addition, it is half of the founding place of Ulutus, so it has received a lot of attention from the upper class.

Various business banks have opened branches in Manzhouli, and even the headquarters of some businesses have not been moved away. This has also led to a lot of business travelers coming and going, which is the largest meat, milk and wool textile manufacturing base in Ming Dynasty.

The border troops naturally had no objection to being able to move to such a wealthy city. In addition, Ulutus paid twice the salary to the army, which made the soldiers eager to spend some money to Manzhouli City.

After they left, the newly arrived Northern Army was naturally the one who took over their duties. The number of border troops originally garrisoned was similar. The one who followed Quanxu in advance was 20,000 Northern Army. There were 30,000 more than 30,000, which had already arrived in Hailar Province. It was just to avoid being spying on the Khanate, so it stayed in the deep grassland that was rarely visited.
