Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 733
For the sudden increase of horse thieves, the nobles of the Ida tribe are all very angry. The grassland is vast, and the big tribes and big forces dominate. It is impossible to send magistrates to every county like Daming, and there are officials, officials, and guards to manage and control. Although the Alda tribe dominates the grassland, it cannot cover everything. To maintain the stability of the grassland, it mainly relies on the long-established deterrence and the powerful power of the tribe itself.

But suddenly the caravan was robbed, and the significance of the robbing of the Daming caravan was even more significant than the looting of the Alta's own caravan, because many of the supplies that the Alta needed were imported from Daming.

According to the judgment of the experienced cavalrymen who are proficient in tracking, there should be three to five horse thieves operating around the commercial road and the foothills at the beginning.

But after the second half of November, there were almost [-] or [-] horse thieves operating in this area, and the caravans from Daming had already decreased drastically. With so many horse thieves active, everyone was more cautious in their activities.

Some caravans have temporarily hoarded their goods. Anyway, the business road is almost cut off now. Everyone knows that the price is soaring.

If you really want to go out, you will also be with as many caravans as possible. Often there are more than a hundred carts, and the guards alone will cost three hundred.

There are already too many horse thieves. The six big merchants in Taiyuan, Datong, Pingyang, and Fenzhou in Shanxi have contracts with Guihua City, so they dare not delay the delivery date. They gathered more than 800 A large cart, all the guards and available warriors were obtained, and nearly [-] guards left the customs at the right guard in Datong.

But such a huge team only ran for a day, and when it was an hour before dark, the horse thieves surrounded them, and the distance was extremely embarrassing.

Although the cavalry of the Anda Department were rampant, they had to be more or less measured. They would not go out within a day's distance from the Daming side wall, and the Daming cavalry had been timid for so many years, and they did not dare to come out.

Invisibly, this place is also a place where no one cares, and the horse thieves just took advantage of this loophole. The 800 guards, there are quite a few outlaws and skilled bow horse characters.

The horse thieves came, and these people could resist them, but such a big piece of fat made the horse thieves who hadn't opened for a long time go crazy.

The caravan was at a disadvantage in the beginning, and could only defend passively, so as not to die. After half an hour, the caravan guards themselves became chaotic, and several groups suddenly began to hack and kill their companions.

It was already in a stalemate, but with such a chaos inside, the barely maintained line of defense immediately collapsed, and was directly broken by the horse thieves, and the entire caravan immediately collapsed.

There are not many people in Shanxi who dare to follow the customs to transport goods at this time of year. Naturally, they will not pick and choose when recruiting, and there are horse thieves in the mix.

The horse thieves who attacked this time were not what they were in the first place. They did not kill or injure Daming's caravan. They were already angry in the attack and defense just now. After rushing in, they naturally killed and vented their anger.

When the Tartar cavalry arrived, they could only see corpses everywhere and the chariots that had been set on fire. The shopkeepers of these big businesses had something to say in front of Senggedu Gulen, and the Tartar cavalry generals did not dare Negligent, and hurriedly sent someone to chase after him.

Unlike the horse thieves in the past who were able to hide their traces and escape after looting, today these are not so smart. Many bulky goods that should not be carried are also carried away in horse-drawn carts, which means that they cannot go fast at all. It is easy for the Tartar cavalry Just catch up.

Some people were even reluctant to leave their goods behind when they saw the Tartar cavalry coming. The minimum size of the Tartar cavalry was [-] horsemen. How could these horse thieves be opponents.

The caravan was robbed, and most of the Tartar cavalry teams that attacked the next day chased the target, killed and captured many horse thieves, and recovered a lot of goods.

However, the goods will not be returned to the merchants. This is regarded as the spoils of the Alda cavalry.

It was difficult for the horse thieves to survive the torture, and they also asked a lot of things. The sources were different. Some were Ming bandits who came from Shaanxi and Xuanfu, and some were Mongolian horse thieves from the east and north. There are cavalry sent by small nearby tribes to fish in troubled waters.

After this highly effective campaign, the grassland was immediately much cleaner.

It is already the twelfth lunar month at this time, and the Seng Ge Du Gu Leng Khan of the Alda tribe naturally knows that the [-] soldiers and horses and one imperial army dispatched from Ji Town to Datong Town have already arrived in Datong Town, and they are all in Datong Youwei. Stationed nearby.

It was normal for Da Ming to react like this when there were cavalry on the prairie before, but now it is clean, if Da Ming gathers up heavy troops without knowing what is good or bad, it will be a provocation to the Ida Department. Senggedu Gulen Khan is ready After the suppression was completely over, envoys were sent to Daming.

***************
"My lord, this general is Yang Jin, the deputy general of Ji Town's division guarding the west road."

"Young officer Yang Jin has met Mr. Wang!"

The person who spoke to him was a middle-aged man with a burly and thick body. He seemed to be square. He had a beard, a dark face, his eyes were always squinted, and there was a sense of calmness in his gestures.

In the land of nine borders, there is often a chief soldier and one or two lieutenant generals. Ji Town is a little different. He has four guard lieutenants, east, west, south, north, and Yang Jin is one of them.

"Vice General Yang has worked hard. Are you satisfied with the camp and food supply? If you need anything, just tell me. You're welcome."

The other party bowed down, but Wang Tong didn't put on any airs, and quickly stepped forward to support him. Qi Wu, who had dispatched troops in the past, followed Wang Tong, and introduced him.

"The camp has been arranged, and the supply of food and grass is sufficient. On behalf of the officers and men of Ji Town, I thank Lord Wang for his concern."

Yang Jin glanced at Qi Wu behind Wang Tong, paused and said with a smile:

"To tell the truth, my lord, when the officials came here, they were still very worried about the camps, food and grass. I thought that the officials would have to keep busy by themselves, but I didn't expect such regulations. I'm really amazed."

"If you are asked to help, there is no reason for you to worry about these things. This time, you brought a total of six battalions and a battalion of cavalry?"

"Yes, there are 3000 people in each battalion, and [-] horsemen in each battalion. I would like to listen to the orders of the imperial envoy."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, and said:
"Your Majesty Qi must have informed you of some things in advance, and you should have said them on Qiwu Road, so I won't say much. I would also like to ask your department to stay in the camp and wait for my orders."

Yang Jin glanced at Wang Tong, clasped his fists and bowed again, as if accepting orders, and Wang Tong also bowed slightly, as a return.

After saying a few words, Wang Tong ordered Qi Wu to lead Yang Jin down, there were only the three of them in the tent, there was noise and chaos from outside, the troops from Ji Town had just arrived and were camping for preparations.

After arriving at the Right Guard of Datong, Ma Dong, who was temporarily acting as the commander in chief of Datong, prepared a good mansion for Wang Tong, but Wang Tong did not live there, but set up a tent at the pre-set camp. wartime regulation.

Once he made this gesture, the generals guarding Datong's right guard and Ma Dong couldn't enjoy themselves in the mansion inside the city, so they could only set up camp outside.

Of course, it is inevitable for everyone to curse in their hearts. I thought that you, a young man, might think that fighting is new, but I don’t know that I have worked so hard for so many years, and I don’t want to suffer this crime again, but Wang Tong beheaded the Huang’s House The big shopkeeper of the Datong government directly withdrew his post as magistrate from the magistrate's yamen in Datong.

Here Qi Wu led the people out, and there were still people who wanted to see Wang Tong, but these people were not as disciplined as Yang Jin, and the sound of talking and laughing could be heard outside the military tent.

The curtain was lifted, and a group of people rushed in. Wang Tong didn't have any angry look on his face, but he also smiled, and said:
"It's been a while, the tiger's head is getting taller again!"

"Brother..." "I have seen Brother Wang..." "I have seen Master..." "I have seen Master..."

There were chattering voices, and the vice-presidents of the first and second regiments of the Huwei Army, as well as generals at all levels, walked into the tents and saluted with smiles. Naturally, they were Li Hutou, Li Tao, Sun Xin, Tan The soldiers are all acquaintances, so the old reunion is different from the official article just now.

"Everyone, the master is an imperial envoy, and there are various military guards. Although we are a family, we must act individually, so as not to be laughed at by others!"

But General Tan, who led them in, spoke in a solemn voice. Everyone looked at each other, and hurriedly arranged them according to their official positions, bowed down in unison, and said in unison:

"The two regiments of the Huwei Army have a total of 800 people in the auxiliary soldiers and each team, and they have come here to obey the orders of the imperial envoy. The officials and others have seen the imperial envoy!!"

Li Hutou at the front got up, couldn't help winking and smiling, and a group of people couldn't help laughing. Seeing that General Tan wanted to say more, Wang Tong shook his head and said:
"It's just that everyone is meeting. It's not time for the military to discuss the battle. It doesn't matter if you are casual. Why don't you see the supervising army?"

"Cai Jianjun is checking the camp outside, and discussing military supplies with the people in the business."

While talking, the curtain of the camp tent was opened, but it was Cai Nan who walked in. Wang Tong walked forward with a smile, clasped his fists and said:
"The supervising army has worked hard, but it looks darker and stronger than before."

They spoke casually, and Cai Nan bowed with a smile, and replied:
"Your Excellency is also working hard. Our family should be stronger, so we don't have to stay in that carriage all the time in the future."

"Eunuch Cai has to check and check all over the barracks every day, and at night he has to reconcile accounts with the people in the military supply and workshop, so he sleeps very late."

Li Hutou interjected next to him, seeing Wang Tong's gaze, Cai Nan quickly smiled and said:

"Your Excellency entrusted this stall to our family, why can't you be careful to organize it, or you will not live up to your entrustment."

With these people, there is no need to calculate or deduce, Wang Tong didn't say anything, he just stepped forward and patted Cai Nan on the shoulder, smiling and patted.
