In the early morning, as the wake-up call sounded, thirty people quickly got up, got dressed, packed their equipment and luggage, and ran out of the barracks to stand in line.
Then we line up together to wash up.
When the wake-up call was heard, the fence was opened on the other side of the horse pen, and tall and majestic Arabian horses came out kicking and found their respective owners. They nuzzled their owners' faces affectionately with their heads.
According to An Sanxi's request, everyone must feed the horse a carrot when they get up in the morning.
This will increase the relationship between man and horse. If someone sleeps in and cannot get up, the horse will go to his bed and hold him up. He hasn't even fed carrots yet. How can you, master, have the nerve to continue sleeping soundly?
After everyone fed their horses and finished 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 the leftover mutton from yesterday, 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 were 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 students, skilled workers, and soldiers with sufficient nutrition 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.
See, their own lives are not as good as theirs 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 Ming Dynasty dare not say that there are vegetables to eat every day in winter and spring.
When spring comes, Yang Fan will plant all modern vegetables in Zunhua. By then, the dining 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 the Ming Dynasty, they can only eat enough.
Put a saddle on the riding horse, and have two spare horses, one carrying logistics supplies, one carrying weapons and equipment. The other ten horses carry the team's headquarters equipment.
There are also three recruited guides, ten civilians, three map surveying students from the academy, two military doctors, and two Mongolian translators. They follow the team.
These peasants can ride horses and live in the border areas. They are 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 packhorses were all females because females had mare's milk, which could 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 majestic and long team, they arrived at the edge of the Great Wall not long after setting off.
There are not many passes to the north of Zunhua, and Zunhua itself is right on the edge of the Great Wall.
The Zunhua 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 twenty-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 Duoyan Sanwei's territory. An Sanxi decided to take these little boys and 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 so fast. After I was kidnapped to the grassland, I followed my master several times and came to this pass once.
At that time, Mongolian Taiji, who led thousands of people, 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 are 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. Their combat effectiveness cannot be compared to those beggar-like guardsmen.
He was fully armored, with a red cloth face armor, and a wild goose feather sword hanging on his waist. He looked majestic. He was very vigilant in checking the merchants coming in and out.
In front of the customs, there were many caravans waiting to leave the customs, and rows of carriages and camels loaded with various commodities.
Noticing the arrival of the cavalry, the general flag on the city gate signaled. A small flag officer came over and motioned for them to dismount and accept interrogation.
An Sanxi and the others looked at them from a distance, and saw that 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.
The horse in particular was very strong and strong, and it looked like it was no ordinary war horse. Xiao Qi was more polite and just asked them to show the approval document for leaving customs.
An Sanxi lifted up his clothes with an expressionless face, revealing Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi's waistband. His expression was expressionless. In fact, he had an approval document from Yang Fan. But An Sanxi wanted to act secretly.
The small flag of the border army immediately waved and let him go. There was no nonsense. Every year, scouts and spies from the imperial court went out to gather information. These were secret missions, and they did not pry.
A group of people entered the small Guancheng, which was built between two mountains. The front and rear city walls extended to both ends of the mountain, and finally merged with the Great Wall on the top of both sides. The valley surrounded by the two walls is
Small Guancheng.
There is 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. There are about 80 people stationed here. They are relatively low-income people. After all, here
Mongolian attacks were frequent.
After passing Guancheng, even if they were out of the border, the group began to march quickly along the valley. By noon, they were already far away from Guancheng.
If you continue to move 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 was very desolate, with no villages or tribes of herdsmen.
This is the dividing line between farming and nomadism, and it is also the front line of melee between the two sides. It is strange that there are residents.
"Che Xiaolin, Wang Peng, you two go out ten miles to investigate."
"Here"
