168 The problem of horses (for Tianwaitian 0071/3)

But he went over, but he didn't know who shouted "The Duke is here". Then all the onlookers turned around. Sure enough, they all fell to their knees when they saw Zhang Mingwei coming.

For ordinary people, they can feel the most who treat them well and who treat them badly.

More than a month have passed, the matter of Zhang Mingwei in the capital has spread here. Combined with their own personal feelings, we can naturally understand who this Duke is now!

If it were ordinary people, even those under the same power would probably scare these people to scatter or be forced to kneel down, but they would never have the expression of joy now.

To be honest, Zhang Mingwei also has a vanity. Of course, he was very happy to see that he was so loved by the people. However, on the surface, he pretended to be a dark face and said, "I said, don't be so polite, everyone should go with their own things. Are you not listening to me, right?"

After patrolling Shanhaiguan all the way, he was greeted by kneeling along the way.

Of course, Zhang Mingwei gave orders to this, but these soldiers and civilians did not listen!

After being "trained" by him, the Liaodong soldiers and civilians who moved inward stood up with smiles. Obviously, they all knew that the country loved the people as their children and would not be really angry about it.

"What's going on? What was going on just now?" Zhang Mingwei asked when he saw this.

Seeing this, Zuo Yingxuan quietly moved behind Zhang Mingwei.

With Duke Xingguo here, although he was in charge of these people, he could only become a supporting role and stayed there.

Hearing Zhang Mingwei's words, the crowd should be the one with the highest official positions, so he quickly pointed to a man in the crowd and reported: "Duke, this guy is too idle, he is trying to become sworn brothers with others, which makes people laugh!"

"..." Zhang Mingwei was a little speechless when he heard this. What's the matter?

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Zuo Yingxuan behind him. He praised him just now, but there was a idle person here?

Perhaps it was because he saw that the Duke seemed a little dissatisfied, and the hundred households knew that the Duke had misunderstood and quickly added: "Each household in the military household has only one son who is left to the battlefield, so it is for garrisoning troops."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the person he had pointed to before, and then continued: "So this guy wanted to become sworn brothers. When he had brothers, he wanted to go to the battlefield and said he didn't want to do such a house repair work!"

So that's how it is! Zhang Mingwei felt relieved and turned to look at the man.

This person is strong, not tall, has a big face, and his legs seem to have a bit of trolling legs. Standing there, he is a little cramped.

Just by looking at it this way, Zhang Mingwei realized that this was not a Han person, but a Mongolian person.

Sure enough, seeing Duke Xingguo looking at the man, the Baihu hurriedly introduced: "He is from the Mongolian tribe, and both brothers are under the command of General Ningyuan. His brother is a warrior. In the previous battle in Tashan, he almost killed the slave chief Dorgon."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei suddenly remembered that there was a passage in Wu Sangui's previous report on military achievements: The two divisions fought fiercely, and Namuqi broke out of the turret formation and rushed into Dorgon's camp on horseback. He was about to assassinate. The escort leader Temudege sacrificed his life to stop him. When he encountered the enemy, he returned together. Although he did not kill the slayer, he was also scared and showed his power to the Ming army.

In addition, since the time of Chengzu, many Mongolians have served in the Ming army. At that time, the most famous San Thousand Camp in the Beijing camp was established with the Three Thousand Mongolian Cavalry as the backbone.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Badu Timur, Batai, Wu Kezhong, Li Xian, Man Gui and Ha Ming were all very famous senior Mongolian generals in the Ming army. Man Gui should be the most well-known, but Ha Ming was even more abnormal, and was the commander of the Jinyiwei during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty.

According to later statistics, the reason why the Guanning Army was able to fight was that there were many Mongolian cavalry. For example, in the Guanning Army where Wu Sangui had completely wiped out the entire army, there were thousands of Mongols. In addition, Jinzhou was able to defend it, but in the end, he surrendered only after he had no ammunition and food. Another important reason was that there were many Mongolian archers in the city. They were archers and archers when they were dismounted.

The same is true. In the battle between Songshan and Jianlu, there were Mongolian Ming soldiers who raided and assassinated Dorgon. The base was here, so it was not surprising.

The Mongolian race has the talent to ride horses and shoot arrows. In the era of cold weapons, it was definitely the king.

It’s just a pity that most of the time they are poor, even arrows are bones. Moreover, there are no unity among the tribes, fighting for each other, beating me, and I beat you, so most of the time, it’s bronze, at most a diamond, the kind that is bullied by other tribes.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei asked with interest: "What's your name? What's your ability to ride a horse and shoot archery, and how good is to fight?"

"When I return to my country, the villain is called Namji. I am not bragging. I ride a horse and shoot archery. My ability to fight is not inferior to my brother!" Namji proudly patted his chest and said, "The previous crampedness was much less.

"Okay, I believe you." Zhang Mingwei heard this and smiled again: "Do you really want to go to the battlefield?"

When Namji heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, I don't know anything about these things, I can only ride horses and fight. It's hard for me to do these things!"

Well, it’s rare that he is going to be sworn everywhere!

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei was not pretentious, so he turned to ask Zuo Yingxuan and said, "How much do you want to fight like him?"

"There are indeed some!" Zuo Yingxuan answered quickly, and then he said with a little embarrassment, "But, the strength cannot be all transferred to war. The farmland and the construction of city walls also require strength!"

Speaking of this, he was afraid that Duke Xingguo would live far away in the temple and did not know the situation below, so he added: "It's okay to farm, but Jianlu would destroy every time he entered the Great Wall. Therefore, there were actually quite a lot of places to be built. Large stones and the like are really indispensable to strengthening power."

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei pondered for a moment, obviously thinking about something.

The Namji obviously knew whether he could do what he wanted should be determined by the Duke in front of him. Therefore, he looked at Zhang Mingwei very nervously, looking forward to the result he wanted.

When others saw Zhang Mingwei pondering, they naturally did not dare to disturb him.

So, around this area, it suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of working in the distance kept coming.

After a while, Zhang Mingwei raised his head and looked at Zuo Yingxuan and said, "It is an extraordinary time now. Let them go to war if they can fight. You can count the number of soldiers in Mongolian books. As for the strength of building cities, I will find a way!"

When Namji heard this, he knew that he could do what he wanted, and his face suddenly smiled like a flower blooming.

Afterwards, Zhang Mingwei went to the nearby Qingshui Mingyue Pass, and Jianlu broke through the pass and entered.

Along the way, he called Namji to his side and asked him, "You said your ability is no worse than your brother, but he is the hero who can rush to the slave chief and almost kill him!"

Hearing this, Namji was very proud of his brother. At the same time, he didn't want to be compared by his brother. He immediately said, "If my brother hadn't let me be a war soldier, he would have supported me, and I would have made a name for myself!"

"Oh, then what kind of person do you want to be?" Zhang Mingwei asked curiously after hearing this.

Others, including Zhu Mai, couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear Duke Xingguo chatting with a Mongolian soldier. However, they recalled that Xingguo did not have any airs when it was fair, and only when facing those corrupt officials would they become very majestic.

They were thinking, and then Namuji's voice suddenly became louder and answered Zhang Mingwei: "Masterman! My brother thinks so too. One day, he will become a great commander in one side and will be awesome!"

"Haha!" Zhang Mingwei laughed when he heard this. Of course he knew that Namji was referring to Mangui. "Okay, I have a chance here. As long as you can do it well, you will definitely realize this dream as soon as possible!"

The people recommended by Zhang Mingwei are all those who suddenly become promoted. This rumor has spread long ago. Therefore, if anyone is attracted by Duke Xingguo, he will definitely be successful and have a bright future.

When Namji heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly patted his chest and said, "As long as the Duke of the State will tell me, Namji, can definitely complete it with all his life, and it will be done very well!"

Although it was a bit of a big talk, Zhang Mingwei liked it, so he stood up and said to him seriously: "Then I will ask you to choose a comrade and go to the grassland to get a horse back. No matter what method you use, as long as you can get a horse back, I will reward you according to the number of horses. How about it?"

When he heard this, Namji was a little surprised. He originally thought he was asking him to go to war, but he didn't expect to go to the grassland to make horses.

"What, there is no way?" Zhang Mingwei immediately asked him when he saw him stunned.

When he heard this, Namji immediately came to his senses and immediately replied loudly to Zhang Mingwei: "Don't worry, don't worry, leave this job to me, Namji, and you will definitely get the horse back if you live or not!"

Speaking of this, he was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Zhang Mingwei said to him: "If you have any requirements, just ask, as long as you can get enough horses for me!"

When Namji heard this, he did not hesitate anymore and replied to Zhang Mingwei: "I want to pretend to be a merchant and go out to the frontier and exchange horses with the large tribes, but not the small tribes. Is this OK?"

The meaning of not changing is probably to rob it by force.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei said to him again: "Yes, but if you encounter someone who is willing to fight for the Ming Dynasty, you can also recruit. The price of employment will be calculated based on the past and will definitely be settled."
