Prices in Beijing soared again, which shows how bastard the officials of the Ming Dynasty are, and they have not learned to co-ordinate and ration the supply of food with the lessons of the past, it may be that they will not be able to, but that the price hike is beneficial to them.

The grain stores set up by the Huang family still sold grain on a per capita basis for 2,500 yuan of rice per person, or in the mode of distributing rations, concentrating on the young and strong people who had no alternate day's rations to engage in hygiene and maintain order.

Wang Gongchang Commercial Street is a little different from before, that is, there are a lot of cats, which is the proposal of Wu Youxing, a medical scientist who has served the Huang family system, and Huang Sheng thinks it makes sense and strongly supports it after learning about it.

One of the plagues is also a frequent one is the plague, as the name suggests, rats spread the virus, cat and mouse will make a large number of rats, of course, it will effectively curb such an epidemic.

Therefore, the Huang family system raises a large number of cats to prevent rodent infestation, which can not only reduce the spread of diseases by rats, but also protect the people's food reserves, why not?

Therefore, the workers of the Huang family system in Beijing all raise cats, and of course they are raised in large quantities in big money villages, post offices, and grain stores.

The men and horses of Black Tiger and Lu Chengzu were deployed in place under the banner of "God of War", and said in a high-profile manner that if Jiannu dared to come, they would concentrate their forces to attack desperately, and would never let the Houjin army take a step forward.

Emperor Chongzhen was worried that the tail would not fall off, and he didn't want to use the "God of War" to tie his men and horses, but the reality was very cruel, and there were not many troops within the 800 miles of Gyeonggi that he could rest assured.

The emperor needs a team that can be trusted to guard the Jingshi, of course, it must be the "God of War" department.

The two general soldiers of Black Tiger and Lu Chengzu came to the periphery of the Beijing Division, and released bold words, the emperor's tense nerves relaxed for days, and he was relieved a lot, and he could finally sleep at night.

Chongzhen sent the military department to select the Qing officials Si Zheng Wupinlang Zhonggao Zhimou to temporarily serve as the soldiers of the Black Tiger and Lu Chengzu, and was responsible for the distribution of grain and grass and military salaries.

Gao Zhimou didn't say a word of nonsense, and happily received the order to take more than 100 families out of Beijing immediately, when many civil officials did not dare to accept the order, Gao Zhimou was so brave to do things, Emperor Chongzhen was quite pleased, and really gave Gao Di a lot of rewards.

Civil officials manage the money and food of people from all walks of life, and they can pinch the life of military generals, which is the practice of the Ming court.

As everyone knows, the Huang family system sends troops to raise money and food by itself, where can the imperial court check and balance, but the arrival of his own people Gao Zhimou was warmly welcomed by Heihu and Lu Chengzu.

The banner of "God of War" appeared, and Fan Wencheng's intelligence network immediately learned about it.

A few days later, the Red Gang knew that there were more than 8,000 Huang Sheng's troops in Miyun and Changping, and it was reported that there might be tens of thousands of Huang Zhuangyong in Yongping Mansion in the assembly, and they were ready to participate in the defense of the capital division at any time.

After knowing the situation, the red gangster was afraid, in case his plundering army was blocked by the "god-killing" men and horses in the land of Gyeonggi in the Ming Kingdom, it would be a big trouble, and stealing chickens would not lead to eight or nine times out of ten.

He resolutely gave up his plan to plunder the surroundings of the Daming Jingshi again, and was ready to go home after grabbing some more places to get some cheapness, and let the "god-killing" man wait, our Dajin army came to make a fortune so that we didn't go to fight with them.

At this time, the military and civilian civil and military forces of the Beijing Division were already a lot more relieved, because not only did the "God of War" men and horses garrison the periphery of the Beijing Division, but Ning Qian Daocheng also led 4,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry to reinforce, and he was ordered by the Ministry of War to be stationed in Tongzhou.

There were also soldiers and horses of King Qin one after another, and the Ming army gathered in the land of Gyeonggi soon exceeded 100,000, and it seemed that the Jingshi was safe and sound, and Emperor Chongzhen was finally completely relieved.

It's a pity that more than 100,000 people and horses gathered, and the imperial court actually arranged to guard all places, and there was no general appointed to concentrate the troops and horses to take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with the invading enemy, which caused Gao Zhimou, Ye Chengjing, Black Tiger, and Chengda who wanted to fight, and they were extremely depressed.

Of course, most of the generals of the Ming army were happy to do so, and they came to the armed parade outside the city of Beijing, and it was too cost-effective to get enough performance and no casualties.

At the end of August, Zuo Shouquan led a team of 500 villagers to push 300 wheelbarrows to transport 1,200 stone of rice to Datong, accompanied by more than 30 employees who went to work in the Datong branch of "Huaxia Daqian Village".

This time, the team was different from the past, and there was a Ming civil official Li Zhongzheng with seven family members accompanying him.

Li Zhongzheng's deeds in defending Yiyang County were commended by the imperial court, and he was promoted two levels from the car driving division of the Zhengliupin Military Department to be appointed as the deputy envoy of the Zhengwupin Datong Military Preparation.

Of course, the appointment of the imperial court took a fancy to Li Zhongzheng's good defense, and sent him to Datong to serve as the deputy envoy of the military preparation road to strengthen the garrison force of Datong.

Li Zhongzheng was appointed, and he was also urged to start immediately.

Jiannu entered the Kou, and the two towns of Xuanda were in a mess, and Li Zhongzheng was likely to not be able to go to Datong, and he would encounter accidents on the road.

Colleagues from the military department knew that the "Huaxia Daqian Village" and the grain store had to make one or two trips to Datong every month, and that the Huang family's armed forces were well known, and they told Li Zhongzheng that it should be safe and sound when he was looking for the Huang family's transport team.

Li Zhongzheng was very happy to get this news, he had already had a relationship with the Huang family, and of course he was willing to go further.

He personally found the "Huaxia Daqian Village" to contact the person in charge of the Huang family, Zuo Shouquan received him, and after some talking, Zuo Shouquan promised to send Li Zhongzheng and his party into Datong City safely.

The section of the official road from Beijing to Datong has been left too many times, and the grain transported to the interior is such a stupid method, and the wheelbarrow is pushed by manpower in turn, and it is transported for thousands of miles.

Every time there are fewer people to go, there are many bandits and bandits along the way, and the team without strength can't go to the ground at all, and it's not good if there are more people, and the roads in the mountains are not easy to walk, causing congestion to be more inefficient.

Therefore, Zuo Shouquan led most of his subordinates to take shifts of 500 people for transportation, and two or three groups of people would be set off every month.

Zuo Shouquan was unlucky this time, and when he walked outside the bamboo silk pass, he learned that the Houjin army was looting under Datong City, and it seemed that the road ahead was impassable.

Because Cao Wenzhao, the chief military officer, was defeated by Jiannu and lost thousands of people, he now has no strength to fight again, so he can only choose to retreat and defend.

Zhubokou is in Fanzhi County, Taiyuan Prefecture, is a relatively important pass on the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and is located on the key road from Datong to the north to Zhili and back to Gyeonggi.

To the north of Zhubokou is a long and narrow basin leading to Datong, and to the south is a small undulating river valley leading to Cigou Yingbao, Wuwangkou, Fuping and Baoding.

The terrain here is dangerous, the pass is flanked by steep rock walls, and the narrowest part of the valley is only a dozen steps, which is really a choke point.

After passing the bamboo silk pass, go north, and it is the narrow basin where Daizhou and Fanzhi County are located. Further northeast along the basin is Lingqiu County.
