When Red Sleeves gave her this dress the day before yesterday, she was so happy that she didn't dare to move her arms and legs when she wore it, as if she was afraid of tearing this dress, which made the eldest girl and the second girl laugh at her for a while-

Her face was a little pale, obviously frozen, it seemed to be a river in the north of Jin, with a large amount of water, a deep waterway, and the bank was more than a zhang away from the bottom of the river, and the river bank was as steep as a knife. It looks like the river has been dry for quite some time, and it's full of weeds.

Leaning on the west bank of the dry river, there is a faint official road near the river, which turns to the north. It is said to be an official road, but it is just a dirt road, only about a zhang wide, and the potholes on it are also uneven. It's just that compared to the desolate and overgrown weeds around it, you can see that this is a road.

The official road goes all the way to the north, passing through a river valley in Daqingshan, and at the end is the vast outside of the plug.

In previous dynasties, and even longer, this road has always been a prosperous trade route. Because if you go out of the customs from the location of Daqingshan, go all the way to the north, slightly west, and you will arrive at Hohhot, no matter what the name is, it has always been an important town on the grassland.

The same is true for the early and middle of this dynasty, because in the early and middle of this dynasty, there were only a hundred miles outside the Daqing Mountain, and that wide grassland was the grassland of the Tumut Department.

After Dayan Khan unified the Mongol tribes, he redivided the 60,000 households, and the Tumut tribe was one of the 30,000 households on the right wing. Dayan Khan appointed his third son, Balsborot, as the Jinong who commanded the 30,000 households on the right wing. After that, the second son, Altan Khan, occupied most of the twelve Tumuts and gradually became stronger. Altan Khan's territory is centered on the north and south of Daqing Mountain, reaching the border of Xuanhua Town in the east, before and after the Wula Mountain in the west, and even as far as Gansu and Qinghai. After Altan Khan became strong, he established close economic and political relations with the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, and developed agriculture and animal husbandry, handicrafts and small town construction in the Monan region. In the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court named him the "King of Shunyi".

This Altan Khan was called - Alda Khan in the Ming Dynasty.

In the process of developing the Tumo River, Altan Khan also built a number of towns. Jiajing 36 years, "to build five towers and eight big plate sheng", Jiajing 43 to 45 years, he in the foundation of the big plate to expand the big plate sheng city, the building in the city from "the court hall and the dormitory where the seven, the southeast to build the warehouse where three, the city from the drip building five layers". To the completion of the project in the third year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty gave the name "Naturalization City", which was later Hohhot City. Since then, it has gradually become the center of political, economic, and religious activities of the right-wing ministries.

Only later, with the change of the situation in the steppe, as well as the impact of natural disasters, the Tumut Department gradually moved westward, and when Lin Dan Khan led the Mongolian tribes, the Tumut Department was divided due to the fierce internal disputes, some of them retained the area of Fengzhou Beach outside the Datong border, and some moved east to the Liaodong region, so they were called East and West Tumut.

As a result, this trade route was abandoned and no one was able to pass through it again.

Later, the horse thieves of Daqingshan were entrenched here, robbing merchants and pedestrians, and no one dared to take this road. The officers and soldiers also thought about encirclement and suppression, and this is the jurisdiction of the Northern Hebei Military Preparation Road, Liu Ruozai even cared about it, but this section of the mountain range is high and densely forested, with undulating mountains and valleys, and the forests stretch for hundreds of miles. Not to mention, how many of those officers and soldiers were given them a tip-off, and it is strange that they can be exterminated.

At this time, at the mouth of the long river, there is already a team waiting here.

There were about sixty people, most of whom were foot soldiers, and the rest of the dozen or so were cavalry. They didn't maintain a marching formation or anything else, they basically sat on the ground and chatted with each other. Some of the horsemen were feeding their horses, while others were dozing off on their horses, their heads bowed.

The overall feeling is that it is scattered, sluggish, and listless. In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because this is the team that Bai Tianfu brought out and joined forces with Dong Ce to suppress bandits.

It is not that Bai Tianfu's team will definitely be like this, and the distance-Hongci Fort is a full forty miles away from the mouth of the long river, for the cavalry, of course, this is not a long distance, even at an unfast speed, an hour is more than enough. But the problem is that there are only about a dozen cavalry under Bai Tianfu, and there are still fifty foot soldiers in the team that came out this time. These forty miles have become a big problem for them. And Bai Tianfu is a good face, plus the cooperative relationship with Dong Ce is still very pleasant these days, and the Rock Fort is farther away from the mouth of the Changhe, so he must arrive earlier than Dong Ce. As a last resort, I had to get up early in the morning, and before midnight, I got up at about four o'clock in the morning, and walked for a long time at night, hurrying slowly, before I arrived at the mouth of the long river.
