Shuo Lei and ordinary old people have become the same, chattering, long-winded, but Babu completely understood the meaning of his father Khan, they worked hard for a lifetime, won the current foundation, now there is no way to leave the Great Khan honorific title, in the future, it is estimated that the strength will be weakened day by day, everything is trapped in Hutchison, but there is no way, you can only face the reality, it is good to keep the Great Khan, anyway, it was not a fart two generations ago, there is a living Buddha, there is a Great Khan honorific name, there are heirs from generation to generation, life is not bad, boy, you will die when you are an empty Khan, Don't toss, if you are not honest and make it the same as Dorji, not only will you lose your life, but you will also hurt my father Khan and I will work hard in vain, why bother......

Babu felt a little sad in his heart when he thought about it, but he had completely sensed the lesson from Dorji's incident, and said sincerely: "Father Khan, don't worry, in the future, I will honestly cooperate with Hutchison and live in peace." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"That's right." Shuo Lei suddenly laughed, and he seemed to have become a lot younger, and he said, "We will have a good life in the future." ”

……

The sky is high and the grass grows, and there is the same scenery everywhere, and after a long time on the grassland, people will inevitably get tired.

It's like walking in a village all the time, from the head of the village to the end of the village, the scenery, and then back and forth.

Unlike the village, the scenery in front of you seems to never end.

"Stop, take a half-hour lunch break."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this time it was with the convoy of baggage, there was no problem with logistics, there was decent hot food to eat every day, but it was slower, and the convoy could not go too fast, otherwise the parts carried would be almost insufficient.

A special convoy came up to catch up, and a small repair and supply point was built every sixty miles, which was a lifeline, and where Hutchison passed, after the merchant army set foot, it was like a new capillary, connecting flesh and bones.

At least two hundred miles ahead, the chasers were moving, and some traces of sporadic battles could be seen from where Wang Jingzhong and the others passed.

The resistance was not fierce, but it cannot be said that there was no at all.

A large number of herdsmen and armoured soldiers were fleeing, and all the chasseurs and a small number of dragoons were riding in circles, trying to trap everyone.

The news of the large number of captives being imprisoned should have spread in the grasslands, which made the continuation of the war much easier, and many herdsmen chose to surrender directly, and they were resettled on the spot instead of being taken to the trading city to be imprisoned.

The Southern Route Army set up several prisoner camps, and people from the Military Intelligence Department would follow up, screen and interrogate the prisoners, and then begin to process them in batches as appropriate.

The north road and the south road are to build the city respectively, Wang Jingzhong and other troops are to keep the convoy road unblocked, it is easy for the original north road, the troops and the convoy are based on the river of the Selenga River as the benchmark to move forward, the future north city is built near the Khan City, built according to the river, the river is the best guide for the convoy, after the establishment of a considerable number of maintenance and supply points, you can maintain the daily consumption of the city.

The south road is more complicated, but it is also the nearest straight line distance from the north end to the south road, about nearly 500 miles of road, all of which are grasslands and gentle hilly areas, there are some small ponds on the way, and after passing through the straight line, you will reach the Tula River of the south road, and about 300 miles west along the big river, which is where the south city is located, that is, the city of Uriya Sutai in the Qing Dynasty.

Wang Jingzhong's team is on the North Road, they have been following the convoy back and forth these days, in fact, there is no threat, those herdsmen are like frightened birds, not even cats, cats will arch their backs when frightened, neighing to warn, if they stretch out their hands again, they will face scratches, birds are different, frightened birds keep circling and wailing in the air, they are running out of physical strength, but they don't even have the courage to try on the ground.

The herdsmen everywhere are the same, they are overly frightened, like frightened birds in the sky, and they do not even have the courage to land.

There may be sporadic horse thieves, but under the deterrence of the war of extermination, the horse thieves have long since disappeared, and the horse thieves were originally mainly composed of fleeing herdsmen from various departments, and they have a very sensitive sense of smell, and they have long since run away without a trace when they encounter a strong enemy that they really can't afford to provoke.

Wang Jingzhong and his subordinates just walked every day, sometimes leading horses, sometimes pushing carts, but they always walked a lot.

Walking a lot, people naturally feel bored, for no other reason, purely natural physiological reactions.

"Rest for half an hour." Wang Jingzhong smiled and said to the subordinates of the team: "There must be more broken cars this time." ”

The break is really long, and there should be several cars that need to take time to repair.

The soldiers all laughed, and Wang Jingzhong said: "Take care of your horses first, and then line up to eat, and if you have energy after eating early, you can go to the river to wash a handful." ”

It's the height of summer, everyone is sweating when walking under the sun, Wang Jingzhong often stares at the back of a guy in front of him when walking, and soon gets wet, the summer military robe is very thin, I am afraid that no army will issue military uniforms several times a year in this era, spring clothes, summer clothes, winter clothes, training clothes, military uniforms for various purposes to be issued more than a dozen sets, the most is of course training clothes, this era has not been able to produce a truly wear-resistant robe, a training uniform will last less than a month at most and will be tattered, Five or six bodies a year is the minimum base.

Zhang Han has already considered designing a military dress, but it still feels too advanced.

You must know that the soldiers of the Ming Border Army or the Guard Station are still wearing the mandarin duck jackets left by their grandfathers thirty years ago, the hats they wear may be fifty years old, the helmets may be a hundred years old, and the thin chopsticks with iron sheets can be pierced, if it is too luxurious, the people of the Military and Political Department are worried that the soldiers will have a sense of guilt, this is not a joke, there was once a whole company found a large number of displaced people in northern Shaanxi, and then the young men had a serious sense of guilt when eating. There were also hungry and dying children, and in the end the whole company gave all the food reserves to the refugees, and then they had to train half-hungry for two days, and the quartermaster department sent food supplies directly.

Wang Jingzhong received a braised duck leg with two boiled duck eggs, served with some green vegetables and steamed steamed buns...... The steamed bun is steamed with white flour and millet seeds, which is soft and glutinous and sweet, which is very appetizing to the northern soldiers.

Everyone was squatting by the river, looking at the gurgling river, looking at the swaying aquatic plants, and eating the food that had just been cooked by the gang leaders.

"It's been all ducks lately." A soldier laughed and said, "All of them were put in the Nanyang River last year, I have seen them, and they are fat and strong." ”

"It was a duck released by the old shopkeeper with Yusheng, and Lord Zhang was very happy about it."

"It would be nice if I could eat chicken, I heard that duck meat is cold and can't eat more."

"Don't let your mother's fart, it's cold, you even ate duck shit before you became a soldier."

"Are you kid looking for a beating?"

The threat was ineffective, and a group of soldiers burst into laughter, and someone said they were going to throw the guy they thought was cold ducks into the river.

Indeed, those who were hungry not long ago are too forgetful to say such things while eating such marching rations, and they deserve a decent lesson.

"Okay, let's spare him." Wang Jingzhong also laughed with everyone, and with these little guys in their twenties, his mood became extremely relaxed.

In the army, those who are over 30 are generally sergeant majors, and they are much more stable, or they have been in the army for many years, passed the officer examination, and become the cornerstone of the merchant army, and the low-level officers.

Wang Jingzhong, who is in his early forties, will either be transferred to a military officer, or he will serve in the tunpu, or, like him, become a high-ranking officer.

Among the soldiers, there were very few officers over forty, and the soldiers were generally in their twenties, or even seventeen or eighteen.

"Old Zhou, shopkeeper, they have already arrived in Mobei." Wang Jingzhong told these young people who were not very well-informed, and he said with a smile: "There is a big lake that you must know, it is not Hanhai, but there is also a big lake as big as Tiancheng Weijia Zhenwei, there are many things that can be done over there, and it is estimated that you will have to eat more ducks in the future." ”

Wang Jingzhong thought again: "Do you know how many people are directly distributed by the military department every day? ”

He continued: "There are more than 200,000 people on the grassland, soldiers, soldiers, military personnel, teachers and students of schools, and people who are working everywhere. There are tens of thousands of people in Lizhuang's workshop, as well as relevant military personnel, as well as Lingqiu's iron mine, there are also tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people have to eat a day, and a person has to eat tens of thousands of catties of meat a day, and our standard is at least two taels a day for soldiers, one or five for workers, and one or two for people, and they have to eat thousands of sheep, hundreds of pigs and thousands of ducks and chickens a day, and we have to take care of the needs of the people in the Xuanfu area of Datong. A few years ago, we didn't care about this, but the people were very dissatisfied. ”

One of the dragoons smiled and said, "Old officer, listen to your calculations, our Hutchison is really a big business." ”

"It's not even counting Taiwan." Wang Jingzhong himself was a little proud and proud in his heart, he said: "You came in late, as soon as you came in, you were issued with several sets of military uniforms, and the armor and weapons were all good. Which of those mules, horses and car dealers is good at their peers, does not bleed, does not kill people, and you are easy to grab the territory of the car dealership? I have to bandage the wound every night, I and Lao Wang, Li Laibin, Wang Yikui, Li Zhiye, Duo'er, they are all in the lead of our and Yusheng's footwork, a few of us are from the border army, and our skills are good......"
