After more than half a year of renovation, the road from Ningxia Town to Gansu Town has been much easier to walk than before. Good quality carriages can pass without obstacles. Especially in dangerous areas such as Bailing Mountain, Dividing Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, etc., the natural trench was blown open by a large amount of explosives, which split the mountains from the middle and opened up a road. However, even so, the time it took to take on the road was still very long. When Xu Xingxia arrived at Jiayuguan with dust, it was already mid-February.

A rough estimate is that he had been walking on the road for twenty days.[..com]

Of course, there are also some of them that are inspected and do not belong to the category of rushing. This is Xu Xingxia's second arrival in Gansu Town. As the supreme commander of the White Army, he naturally had to understand all aspects of Ersu Town. Compared with the first arrival, Gansu Town has obviously changed a lot. At least, when he arrived for the second time, he saw quite a lot of faces. Liangzhou City, Ganzhou City, Suzhou City and other places already looked like towns. Statistics show that Gansu Town now has a population of about 230,000.

This is very not simple. Thinking back to the fact that due to the rampage of the Tatars, the entire Gansu town had a population of hundreds of thousands in name, but in fact they were all the numbers in the account book, and the real number might be less than 150,000. When Morigen went south, Gansu town was slaughtered again, a large number of people were killed, and the population was rapidly reduced to less than 100,000. At that time, Ganzhou City, Liangzhou City and other places were almost in ruins, and there were no living people.

After the White Army recovered Gansu Town, it implemented very preferential policies in Gansu Town, which not only exempted the agricultural tax of the Jin Ministry, but also increased the upper limit of the land that everyone could allocate to more than ten acres. Xu Xingxia also promised that everyone could obtain at least one livestock capable of helping farm. The commercial tax in Gansu Town was also adjusted. These effective policy measures attracted some mainland people to settle in Gansu Town.

This year, the highlight of the White Army's immigration is to prepare to move some of the original three camps of the capital to Gansu Town. Those from the three camps of the capital were captured by the White Army and were released. However, Xu Xingxia felt that it was not safe to put so many old army members in the mainland. The same was true for the original Shanxi Town, Datong Town, Xuanfu Town, and Ji Town. It was indeed unsafe to place so many old army members in the mainland.

To be honest, the White Army had no time at all and was always staring at them. Even if they had time, Xu Xingxia would not send people to do such boring things. Therefore, if the Southern Ming Dynasty court had any ideas on them and they didn't know what to do, it would cause sadness. Only by moving them to Gansu Town is the safest. In this place, they must work hard to find ways to survive, and they can't take anything else into consideration.

In February of Hamiwei, the wind is still very doggy. The surface of the city tower above Jiayuguan is spotless by the strong winds. One gust of strong winds comes from the northwest and whizzes past. For Jiayuguan, such wind is not threatening. But for those passing by, such wind is very lethal.

"The wind here is too strong! Why is there no pause?" Zhang Tianhao mocked his face and said in a little disappointed manner. His face was red and red by the cold wind in February, and his eyes were watery, bright and deep. He looked at it with hatred and looked very handsome, and he thought he was dressed as a man.

Zhang Nai, the deputy commander of the hunting cavalry, joked all day long that he was a sissy, which made Zhang Tianhao complain, but he didn't know who to vent. It's really not his fault for looking like a mother, it's all his parents' fault. He wants to change it now, but it's too late to change it.

Xu Xingxia stayed in Jiayuguan for two days and learned in detail about the situation outside the pass. The person responsible for reporting the situation was naturally Wang Qi Nian, the boss of the Xuanying Guard. He has been in Hami Guard for more than two months. His purpose was to collect information from countries in the Western Regions. The various intelligences he collected in his hands were two feet thick. After Xu Xingxia read all the information, he finally had a clearer understanding of the situation in the Western Regions.

On the third day, the commander of the Falcon Cavalry, Linghu Hai, came to Jiayuguan and picked up Xu Xingxia and his group to the Hami Guard. Linghu Hai also rushed to the Hami Guard. Not long after, Linghu Hai also rushed to the Hami Guard. All the 3,000 Falcon Cavalrymen under his command were scattered and captured the enemy. There was only one squadron by his side. However, considering the strong combat effectiveness of the hunting cavalry, Linghu Hai was not worried about Xu Xingxia's safety.

Starting from Jiayuguan, Xu Xingxia's first destination was Yumen City, which is the original Chijin Méng Guwei. If everything goes well, you can arrive at Yumen City in the morning in the evening. Unfortunately, Xu Xingxia's arrival did not seem to be very smooth. To be precise, someone wants to cause him a little trouble.

In the afternoon, Xu Xingxia and others entered a river with a total pattern of luolu. There was no vegetation, only a large amount of dry sand and gravel. No one knew how many years ago this river had water. Anyway, in the past two hundred years, there had never been any water flow in this river. If it weren't for the messy gravel, no one would have thought that this river would be a river.

When Xu Xingxia and others arrived at the luolu River, it happened to be the brightest day. It was the afternoon, about two o'clock in the afternoon in later generations. The sun in February was very warm. The warm sun shone on everyone, making people feel very comfortable. Unconsciously, everyone subconsciously slowed down their horses' hooves and quietly enjoyed the rare afternoon sun.

"Da da da da!"

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came.

The arrival of the uninvited guest made the white army immediately become more vigilant.

A whistle detective from the Falcon Cavalry Army quickly came to Linghu Hai and reported some situations. Linghu Hai immediately came to Xu Xingxia and reported: "Sir, unfortunately, your whereabouts have been discovered by fanatics. It is possible that you were targeted by them as soon as you arrived at Jiayuguan. Now, a large number of fanatics are rushing towards us. I guess they are preparing to take the head of the general from a million troops and give you some beauty."

Xu Xingxia nodded quietly and said calmly: "Can you deal with it?"

Linghu Hai said calmly: "Their number is too large, with a total of seven or eight thousand people, and there are three thousand Yerkand cavalrymen to help me. I only have a squadron of the Falcon Cavalry, and I cannot curb their attack head-on for the time being. However, as long as the hunting cavalry goes out to fight, I am ready to lead you and show weakness to the enemy first. When they rush up, the hunting cavalry suddenly attacks and attacks them head-on, so that they can be eliminated to the greatest extent."

Zhang Nai said cautiously: "In the fanatic team, are there many cavalrymen?"

Linghu Hai said affirmatively: "Deputy Commander Zhang, don't worry, the cavalry of the fanatics' attack power is not very good. They are basically infantry riding horses. I suspect that they should have been infantry, and after they arrived at the Yarkand Kingdom, they temporarily became cavalry. As for the three thousand Niuerqiang cavalry, I guess they are here to wait and see and will not officially participate in the war. However, even if they officially participate in the war, we are not worried. They only have three thousand people."

Zhang Nai nodded and said, "If this is the case, there will be no problem."

He was confident that he could still deal with the three thousand Yarkand cavalry. Since he had fought with the crazy Jin army at Yangguan Fort, the soldiers hunting cavalry have accumulated rich combat experience and have a deeper experience in the operation of Han-style insurgent guns and the cooperation of various firepowers. Zhang Nai estimated that the combat effectiveness of the Yarkand cavalry should not be as strong as the Jin army. Because Morigen used to defeat the Yarkand cavalry all over the place to look for teeth.

Liu Chuang turned to look at Xu Xingxia. His meaning was to ask Xu Xingxia to avoid it. After all, the main responsibility of the hunting cavalry was to protect Xu Xingxia's safety. Fighting war was second. If Xu Xingxia had any accidents, Liu Chuang would be responsible for committing suicide ten thousand times. He didn't know how powerful the fanatics were. On the safe side, it would be better to ask Xu Xingxia to go back. The stray bullets on the battlefield were sometimes very deadly.

According to the information, the fanatic equipped it was a special Lumi Mill made by the Ottoman Empire. This is a smoothbore gun with a very good sealing diameter. The caliber of the projectile is not large, and the range and accuracy are quite good. According to the experiment, it has obvious lethality at a distance of thirty feet. In the past, under the leadership of Zhao Shizhen, the Ming Dynasty also imitated a small part. Later, it felt that the cost was too high and the process was too complicated. After imitating hundreds of them, it did not continue.

In fact, if the Ming army was equipped with Lumirao, it would definitely be possible to continue to curb the Jin army for a period of time in Liaodong. After all, Lumi Mill's lethality was slightly better than the Great Jin army's bows and arrows. The Ming army musketeers equipped with Lumi had a chance to kill and injure them before the Jin army archers took the initiative to shoot them.

Unfortunately, the number of Lumi dumb equipment was too small, and the training of the Ming army's musketeers was seriously insufficient, which led to the rampant Jin army. In summary, it was not that the Jin army was too powerful, but that the Ming army itself was too disabled. From a technical point of view, Lumi dumb's xing ability was much better than the Ming army's own equipment such as Thunder milling, Flying Bird milling, and Three-eye milling.
