In the early morning, as the wake-up call sounded, thirty people got up quickly, got dressed, and packed their equipment and luggage. Run out of the barracks and stand in line.
Then we line up together to wash up.
Upon hearing the wake-up call, the fence was opened on the other side of the horse pen, and tall and majestic Arabian horses came out kicking to find their respective owners. Use your head to rub your master's face affectionately.
According to An Sanxi's request, everyone must feed the horse a carrot in the morning.
This increases the relationship between people and horses. If someone sleeps too late and can't get up, the horse will go to his bed and hold him up. He hasn't even fed him carrots yet. How dare you, Master, continue to sleep soundly?
After everyone fed their horses carrots, they lined up to get food. Today's breakfast was very rich, including mutton fried rice, mutton bone and radish soup, and an omelette for each person.
Fried rice is made from yesterday's leftover mutton cut into cubes and fried with onions.
Northern onions were introduced from Japan in the mid-Ming Dynasty, and southern onions were introduced from Macau during the Kangxi period.
Onions are still a rare thing at this time.
People in Yang Fan's system eat very well. The Chinese tradition is to pay great attention to food, which gives everyone a sense of superiority and belonging.
To put it bluntly, the food of the skilled workers and soldiers here in Yang Fan is better than that of the thousands of households in the guard station.
Tomatoes, onions, bitter gourds, and peppers were all introduced in the Ming Dynasty. Now in the late Ming Dynasty, these species are far from popular, but Yang Fan's system has begun to build many greenhouses outside the city using agricultural film and iron stoves. Used to grow vegetables all year round. Provide adequate nutrition to students, technical workers, and soldiers in winter and spring.
People in Yang Fan's system enjoy a very high quality of life compared to people of this era, which makes them disdainful of other forces.
Look at how their lives are not as good as what they are living now. Going to other forces is totally wrong.
Students, skilled workers, and soldiers all eat rice and flour, and vegetables are constantly available in winter and spring.
There is a meat dish every day. Even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to say that there were vegetables to eat every day in winter and spring.
When spring comes, Yang Fan will plant all modern vegetables in Zunhua. At that time, the table will be richer.
Workers at the grassroots level will also have the motivation to be promoted. After all, they still eat old grains and corn, and their vegetables are very limited. Compared with the people of Ming Dynasty, they can only eat enough.
Put a saddle on the riding horse and two spare horses, one carrying logistics supplies and the other carrying weapons and equipment. There are also ten horses carrying the team's headquarters equipment.
There are also three recruited guides, ten civilian husbands, three map surveying students from the academy, two military doctors, and two Mongolian translators. Follow the team.
These peasants were able to ride horses and lived in the border areas. They were responsible for setting up camps, making fires, making meals, and rescuing the wounded.
These people are all border residents along the Great Wall. They can ride horses and use swords and bows.
They rode captured Jianzhou war horses. The pack horses are all female horses, because mares have mare's milk, which can satisfy their hunger in emergencies.
Mare's milk is very nutritious. Although it is easy to get drunk, in general, drinking mare's milk for a long time without eating will not have much impact on health.
As long as there is grass and water, thirty mares can provide life-saving food for these fifty people.
Fifty people and nearly two hundred horses set off in a team. Looking at the vast and long queue. Not long after setting off, we arrived at the edge of the Great Wall.
There are not many passes to the north of Zunhua, and Zunhua itself is right on the edge of the Great Wall.
The Guzunhua Great Wall runs through the entire territory of Zunhua, starting from Hongshan Pass in the east and ending near the Dongling Tomb of the Qing Dynasty in the west, stretching for 80 kilometers along the Yanshan Mountains.
The Zunhua Great Wall was originally built by the Yan State. After many generations of repairs, it is now the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty.
After comprehensive consideration, Ansanxi decided to take a 20-mile detour and exit from Malanyu. Malanyu was on the edge of the Zunhua Basin, and the Malanguan Pass was built at the mountain pass here.
After leaving the pass and heading north along the valley, you will find the territory of Duoyan Sanwei. An Sanxi decided to take these little cubs to wander around Duoyan Sanwei's territory to train them.
Arriving under the city gate of the pass, An Sanxi looked up at this famous pass where wars often occur and sighed.
time flies. After he was kidnapped to the grassland, he followed his master several times and came to this pass once.
Mongolian Taiji, who led thousands of people at that time, retreated when he saw that Malanguan Pass was heavily guarded.
Ten years have passed in a flash.
At the city gate on the inside of Guancheng, there were some battalions standing guarding the city gate. They are the regular army of Ji Town.
They are all camp soldiers recruited under the recruitment system. The combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the beggar-like guardsmen.
He is fully armored, with a red cloth armor and a Yanling sword hanging on his waist, looking majestic. Very vigilantly checking the merchants coming in and out.
There were many caravans waiting to leave the customs in front of the customs, and rows of carriages and camels loaded with various commodities.
Noticed the arrival of this cavalry. The general flag on the city gate signaled. A small flag officer came over and motioned for them to dismount and undergo interrogation.
An Sanxi and the others watched from a distance. These people were all dressed as caravans. But these people brought so many horses and supplies, and they looked like they were not ordinary people.
In particular, the horse is very strong and strong, and it is no ordinary war horse at first glance. Xiaoqi was more polite and just asked them to show the approval document for leaving customs.
An Sanxi expressionlessly lifted up his clothes, revealing Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi's waistband. His face was expressionless, but in fact, he had Yang Fan to issue the approval. But An Sanxi wanted to act secretly.
The small flag of the border army immediately waved to let them go. No nonsense either. Every year, scouts and spies from the imperial court go out to gather information. These are secret missions, and they do not pry.
A group of people entered the small Guancheng, which was built between two mountains. The two city walls, the front and rear, extend up the mountain to both ends, and the Great Wall at the top of the mountain on both sides converges together. This valley surrounded by two walls is the small Guancheng.
A two to three hundred meter long stone road with two city gates at the front and back. There are some houses on both sides of the stone road and on the hillside, where a hundred households are stationed. There were about eighty people. It's considered a relatively small amount of free money. After all, there are often Mongolian attacks here.
After passing the city, even if they were out of the city, the group began to march quickly along the valley. At noon, we were already far away from Guancheng.
If you continue forward, you are likely to encounter Duoyan herdsmen. An Sanxi eliminated the top soldiers and went out to investigate the situation from a distance.
The first team of the cavalry team walked about a mile in front of the team. Wang Hai was the team leader. He picked up his binoculars and observed the situation carefully. The surrounding area is desolate, with no villages or tribes of herders.
This is the dividing line between farming and nomadism, and it is also the front line of the melee between the two sides. It is strange that there are residents.
"Che Xiaolin, Wang Peng, you two went out ten miles to investigate."
"Here"
