(0399) The construction of Daming Fort naturally relied on the Tuyuhun people. For the time being, there will not be too many Han people in the Bayannur grassland. There is not enough population in the Montenegrin camp, where is the surplus population migrating here? Xu Xingxia is not worried that the Tuyuhun people will grind foreign workers. After all, it is also good for them to quickly repair Daming Fort. If the Tatars make a comeback, it will be the Tuyuhun who will bear the brunt.

As the indulger behind the scenes, Xu Xingxia is relaxed again. During these days in the Bayannur grassland, he took Tesna around every day during the day to learn about the specific situation of the Bayannur grassland. The scenery near the Phoenix Sea is so beautiful that every day you go out, it feels like an outing. At night, it's a sweet world for two. He knows the taste of marrow, and he is just the age of blood and strength, what kind of behavior he has, you can imagine.

The 500 young cavalry selected by the Tuyuhun people were all incorporated into the Eagle Cavalry Army and the Eagle Cavalry Army, each with 250 men each. Their regular training was also carried out by the Eagle Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry. Xu Xingxia's main purpose in recruiting them was to prepare for the long-term operations of the White Clothes Army in the prairie in the future. Frankly speaking, what Xu Xingxia needs is not their combat effectiveness. How much combat effectiveness can a cavalry of five hundred men have? Their greatest use, in fact, is propaganda, that is, to let others see the hope of being trusted. No matter who you are, as long as you are willing to follow the White Army, you may get such treatment.

In terms of familiarity with the prairie, these native-born Tuyuhun people are obviously much better than the Han people. The activities of the Han cavalry in the steppes were really difficult to move without a guide who was familiar with the local situation. The Tuyuhun people defected this time, and in addition to selecting 500 cavalry to join the army, there were at least 300 people who became professional guides. In the long run, the Tuyuhun will be the eyes and ears of the white-clothed army.

What's even more rare is that they know a variety of languages, and there are no barriers to communication with all ethnic groups in the prairie. The Tuyuhun people are originally a people who are good at learning, otherwise, they would not have survived until now in a situation where they are weak. You must know that in the prairie where the weak eat the strong, if you don't have a skill, it is easy to suffer from the catastrophe. This time, Xu Xingxia reused them, so that the Tuyuhun people had a feeling of raising their eyebrows up and down. With such an opportunity, of course, they will not let it go easily, and naturally they should cherish it.

On the first day of training, the results made Xu Xingxia feel quite satisfied. These 500 Tuyuhun cavalry still have a bit of a surname. Switching to muskets was not a difficult task for them. In fact, there is nothing complicated about the operation of the moon gun. The key is that practice makes perfect. To put it simply, it's the repetition of monotonous cycles. Practice the same movement over and over again every day until you vomit. If someone else can shoot five rounds in a minute, you'll have to practice at least four rounds to get by.

On this day, Xu Xingxia was supervising the training of Tuyuhun cavalry, and Ming Hao came in a hurry. Although Xu Xingxia is in the Bayannur grassland, hundreds of miles away from the Black Mountain Camp, in fact, his heart is still on the side of the Black Mountain Camp. After all, that's where he's rooted. Without the Bayannur grassland, he could make a comeback, but without the Black Mountain Battalion, his situation would be worse. Looking at Ming Hao's face, he estimated that most of the accidents in the Black Mountain Camp had happened. Some people really can't hold it back. He calmly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sure enough, Ming Hao replied eagerly: "Weizhen Fort and Zhenshuo Fort are attacked!" ”

Xu Xingxia asked in a deep voice, "Where did the troops come from?" Is it from Ningxia Town or outside? ”

When he led his army north, he realized that his southern flank might be attacked by the enemy, so he specially reminded Chi Hu and Lin Dacheng to be careful. During the time he was gone, the defensive forces around the Montenegrin battalion happened to be the weakest. If the officers and soldiers are really ready to use force to suppress the white-clothed army, they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity. Now it seems that his prediction was not wrong, and the top management of Ningxia Town did seize this opportunity.

"Lu Yide's troops set off from Pingyu City!" Minghao replied briefly.

"Is that him? That's good! The corners of Xu Xingxia's mouth slowly appeared with a cold smile. This Lu Yide is really Li Guozhen's loyal pawn, and he is the one who takes the lead. Last time I was near the magnetic kiln village, it was a mistake not to clean him up. However, since this time, he took the initiative to send it to the door, so he is not polite.

"You go back first, pay close attention to the situation changes, and report at any time!" Xu Xingxia said.

After Ming Hao left, Xu Xingxia returned to his golden tent and thought about this matter again, convinced that there were no other mistakes. Obviously, this is the high-level of Ningxia Town, who is carrying out a crackdown campaign to test the surname. The instigator behind it is either Li Maohui or Li Guozhen. It's one of the two of them anyway, or maybe it's the two of them together. Their purpose is obviously to test their bottom line and see to what extent their tolerance has reached. If they don't fight back, they'll definitely get an inch.

He was all too familiar with the faces of those people. Bullying the weak and fearing the hard is their greatest characteristic. The weaker you are, the more you give in, the more arrogant and arrogant they become. The only way to deal with these people is to beat them hard! Beat them up until you don't even recognize them! Beat them all down, and no one will bother you again! Of course, it would be even better if you could chop off all their heads.

After thinking about it, Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice: "Liu Heng, Zhang Feng, you come with me!" ”

He found Feng Qingwu, handed over all the affairs of the Bayannur grassland to him, and said goodbye to Hou Defu, Oyanga and others from the Tuyuhun people, and returned to the Black Mountain camp with Tesna. He returned to his heart like an arrow, and he marched at a very fast pace. Three days later, the army crossed the Zhenyuan Pass and returned to the Black Mountain camp. At this time, the Black Mountain Battalion was already excited. When a group of military households heard that Xu Xingxia had returned, they all gathered near the barracks and refused to leave. They desperately wanted to know Xu Xingxia's attitude towards this matter.

Originally, the people below Xu Xingxia were very active in rebellion. Especially those slaves who were freed from the hands of the Tartars, their resentment towards the court can only be described in four words, that is, it is difficult to write. They are bent on finding trouble with the imperial court, retribution for injustice, and revenge for revenge. Other military households do not have the slightest good impression of the court and the government. Last time, if it weren't for Xu Xingxia's conscious containment, they would have rebelled openly a long time ago.

Now, when the army of the imperial court arrived, they brazenly used force against Weizhenbao and Zhenshuo Fort, which was equivalent to putting a fire in the already boiling kerosene, and the raging fire suddenly rose to the sky. The anger of the military households was completely detonated. Around the entire Montenegrin camp, there were tens of thousands of military households, and their anger was collectively detonated, and the consequences can be imagined. Even Gao Yingxiang and others, who saw this scene for the first time, were taken aback, for fear that they would be affected.

"It's the other way around!"

"Kill the Dog Emperor!"

"Kill the Dog Emperor! Kill the dog! ”

Constant slogans, all around the Montenegrin battalion, constantly echoed.

Don't think that only the people of later generations can have such large-scale mass gatherings, and in ancient times, such scenes often appeared. As soon as someone ascends the heights and shouts, tens of thousands of people will immediately gather, and the scene is absolutely powerful and breathtaking. The Yellow Turban Army Uprising, the Yellow Nest Rebellion, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising all broke out like this. In the current situation, there is no need for Xu Xingxia to raise his arms at all, and tens of thousands of people have already gathered.

Zhang Tianhao was sometimes brainless, he didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all, and when he saw so many military households gathered, he made a fuss and said: "My lord, the atmosphere here is warm enough!" What are you going to say to them? ”

Xu Xingxia's face was grim, and he said slowly: "Calm down." ”

In fact, I can't calm down anymore. The situation around the Black Mountain camp was not at all his turn Xu Xingxia to contain. The anger of the military households needs to be vented. Otherwise, they will have an internal outburst and hurt themselves. The reason why they were able to hold it before was that they were waiting for him Xu Xingxia to come back. Now, Xu Xingxia's return is tantamount to an all-out war. In such a situation, if Xu Xingxia was still squeaking and saying that he wanted to be calm, he would probably be stoned to death by the angry military households. Xu Xingxia would never do such a stupid thing.

"Inform the troops! Get ready for battle! Xu Xingxia categorically ordered.

The whirlpool of war suddenly began to operate. The hundreds of households in the stewardship have been waiting for Xu Xingxia's order for a long time. They have prepared enough war materiel that the white-coats can take with them at any time. They also prepared enough men to fight with the white-clothed army. This time, the Montenegrin battalion was full of emotion, and there were almost tens of thousands of military households who took the initiative to go to the battlefield, and they were not worried about the shortage of manpower at all.

The situation about the attacks on Fort Weizhen and Fort Zhenshuo is also becoming more and more detailed. Based on various information, Xu Xingxia judged that Lu Yide's goal was actually Weizhenbao. Because, the craftsman workshop of the White Army is here. They wanted to get the technology to make the Moonshot. As long as they get the manufacturing technology of the Yue Yue Gun, the musket advantage of the White Army will be gone. As for Fort Zhenshuo, it was pinned down to prevent reinforcements from Fort Weizhen.

Originally, it was the Leopard Cavalry under the command of Mao 13 who was responsible for garrisoning Weizhen Fort. Later, Mao 13 led the Leopard Cavalry Army to the north to reinforce the army, and the army stationed at Weizhen Fort became the Xiongqu Army commanded by Lin Dacheng. It was they who repelled Lu Yide's attack.
