In the twentieth year of Tianwu, on February 25, the army arrived in Hami.

This is the Ming army's material transfer station to the Western Regions, military horses, livestock piled up in circles, all kinds of materials piled up, every day from the Shaanxi area to raise material resources to Hami continuously.

In charge of the logistics of the Western Capital Protectorate is Lu Xiangsheng's younger brother Lu Xiangguan, who is very clever in doing things, seems to be born with a good concept of numbers, and takes care of the strategic materials delivered by the imperial court in the first phase.

Due to the important geographical location, there are about 5,000 sergeants stationed in Hami all year round, and the guard general is a brigade commander.

In addition to the supplies and the original garrison, the 50,000 troops of the Eastern Army Governor's Mansion were also stationed here, waiting for the opportunity to advance westward.

For a time, outside the small city of Hami, there were 100,000 troops, and there was a steady stream of carriages and horses transporting supplies to and fro here.

Within a radius of 10 miles from Hami City, flags are unfurled, camp tents are connected, shoulder to shoulder, and the atmosphere of war is strong.

On the left side of the Shicheng Canal around the city is the camp of the Tianwu Army of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and on the right side is the camp of the Anwu Army of the Governor's Mansion of the Eastern Army.

The flags of the Ming army fluttering in the wind on the city of Hami, and the soldiers patrolling below walked back and forth.

After the arrival of the divisions in the Guannai, especially the strict military discipline of the Tianwu Army of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, the Hami guards and soldiers were eye-opening.

They had never heard a loud reprimanding general in the Tianwu army, nor had they seen soldiers running around, these Zhongfu soldiers who came from afar were resting quietly in their camps, and even the war horses and the livestock accompanying the army were managed in an orderly manner.

And when the officers at all levels entered and exited the camp, the soldiers standing guard in front of the camp gate, the upright posture, and the standard military salute all made the border soldiers on the upper floor of Hami City embarrassed.

These Hami soldiers defending the city looked at the soldiers of the Western Expedition with admiration on their faces.

However, in the Western Expeditionary Army, there were also some people with untidy camps and loud noises, which attracted frequent sideways glances from the defenders of the Hami Army and asked each other which unit it was?

In the evening, after dinner, Zhu Cihong took Zhu Heyi, the king of Han, and others to inspect the camp and personally taught him the method of marching and commanding the army.

Looking at the endless camps, as well as the soldiers of the various battalions who were busy carrying grain and grass materials, Zhu Cihong said to the King of Han: "The soldiers promise the country with their bodies, and the generals love the soldiers like sons. Defend the national territory! ”

King Han nodded yes? This kind of routine to win over the hearts of the army, he still understands the story of Wu Qi sucking pus for the soldiers? It's all in Daming's textbooks!

"Rise to be? Food and clothing with the lowest soldiers? Lie down without a seat, do not ride, wrap yourself to win food, share labor with soldiers, and die with gangrene? It is a ...... to suck"

When Zhu Heqi read this article at that time? couldn't help laughing, especially the words of the soldier's mother crying, which made him feel that this article was very humorous? At the time, it was said that Wu Qi had a hobby of sucking pus, and after sucking Lao Tzu and sucking his son, and that pair of father and son soldiers? The poisonous sores on the back seem to be in the same vein.....

After growing up, Zhu Heqi deeply felt that Wu Qi was awesome! He is an expert in winning the hearts of the military, no wonder he can train Wei Wushu, and he is as famous as the soldier saint Sun Wu!

Zhu Cihong looked at Zhu Heqi and said in a gentle tone: "Qi'er, you were born in the royal family, you don't know the hardships of ordinary soldiers, you need to go to the army to understand them." ”

He pointed to a soldier carrying ordnance in front of him, and said seriously: "A person, no matter how ordinary he is, is dignified, dignity is unyielding in his bones, if you treat them well, they will be grateful, and follow you to life and death!" ”

"If you rely on your royal status and oppress them, they will rebel! That's how Zhang Fei died! ”

Finally, Zhu Cihong patted King Han on the shoulder and sighed: "My child, you have to remember that imperial power is not eternal!" ”

King Han savored these words, and after a while, he suddenly shook his whole body, leaned over and saluted: "Erchen remember the teachings of his father!" ”

Sun Zhiyuan, Li Shangyong and other young generals who followed behind, after hearing these words, their hearts shrank sharply and felt bad.

Xu Mingwu was at the end, faintly hearing the conversation between the emperor's father and son, he didn't understand, since the old emperor had already set up a crown prince, how could he still give power to the king of Han? Do you still want to train him to be in charge? Aren't you afraid that your sons will do things after you bend your legs?

But if you think about it carefully, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is in the capital and supervises the country, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and there are many potential generals around him, so he should not suffer......

The Ming army of 100,000 people, the company camp, Zhu Cihong and others walked among them, and the right to take a walk.

Without the order of the superiors, the soldiers of each battalion were busy with their own work, and only stopped to salute when Zhu Cihong passed by.

According to the plan, after a few days of rest in Hami, the Ming army carried supplies to Ili, and the time was tight and everyone was very busy.

Out of the camp of the Tianwu Army, Zhu Cihong and others went to the camp of the Anwu Army of the Eastern Army Governor's Mansion, and in front of the camp gate, they only heard the little sentry shouting: "Stop, show the password!" ”

The little sentry was very nervous, his face flushed, in fact, he had already seen that it was the current son and the king of Han, their robes were obviously different from the others, and there were dragons hanging on their bodies, which could be seen at a close glance.

It's just that the military orders of the Ming army are strict, and you must show a password to enter the camp gate, and no one can be exempted, not even the emperor himself!

Because this rule was set by the emperor Lao Tzu!

I heard that a few years ago, a celebrant eunuch went to the Tianwu Army camp of the Chinese military governor's mansion to deliver a decree, and the sentry at the camp gate saw someone from the palace and let him go without asking for the password.

When Emperor Tianwu learned about it, he was extremely furious, and ordered all the thirty sentries on duty to be beheaded, from the head of the sentry to the third level, and all of them were deprived of their posts and imprisoned!

When the main owner is coming today, how can the little sentry guarding the door not panic? I could only blush, and asked for the password.

Han King Zhu Heqi cleared his throat and shouted the password: "Eat grapes without spitting out grape skins!" ”

Xu Mingwu in the back almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood, secretly scolding what a fucking bullshit password!

I saw that the little sentry seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, straightened up and gave a military salute, and moved away from the obstacle to let him go.

"Well, Suning Hou has a good way of governing the army!" Zhu Cihong smiled and praised.

The Marquis of Suning in his mouth is Lu Xiangkun, the governor of the Eastern Army, that is, Lu Xiangsheng's younger brother, who was originally in charge of the Tianxiong Army of the Northern Army, and was later transferred to the East Mansion and took over Yang Yufan's Anwu Army.

However, as soon as he walked out of a mile, Zhu Cihong was slapped in the face.

The tent near the gate of the camp was in order, and the sergeants in the middle were quiet and busy, and some were resting, but when they got inside, the camp tents of the platoon were built crookedly, and the laughter of the soldiers was heard from time to time, and it seemed that they were gambling on something.

Xu Mingwu followed behind, but saw that the few people in front of him were not leaving, and the emperor in front seemed to be fixed there by someone who cast a spell.

He mourned silently in his heart: "It's over, these guys are finished!" ”

"Father's ......"

Han King Zhu Heqi looked at his father with a gloomy face, snorted lightly, and didn't dare to speak again.

Zhu Cihong only felt that his old face was hot and painful, and he had just praised Suning Hou for his ability to govern the army, but the result was like this!

"Wu Zhong, go and spread my message, let the Marquis of Suning come over!"

This sentence seemed to be squeezed out of Zhu Cihong's teeth.
