Section 440 The first confrontation

In Datong Prefecture, Bai Minghe and Yu Qian stood side by side on a Great Wall.

Yu Qian picked up a burnt black brick and handed it to Baiminghe: "In the Yongle year, Datong Prefecture planned to build a Great Wall to protect Datong Prefecture. At that time, the Ministry of War planned to build 72 forts, divided into five inner forts, five outer forts, and five outer forts in the Fortress outside the Fortress. These were the twenty major forts, also known as twenty cities, and then there were fifty-two small forts in the garrison."

Bai Minghe looked around and saw that the city wall here was only less than 100 meters long, and he did not see any fortresses and garrisons.

Yu Qian did not look at Bai Minghe, but said: "There is still 516 and a half miles to build the Great Wall, including 776 Arrow Forts on the city, and then one thousand Fire Road Dunes can be built. You can strictly protect Datong Mansion and the capital."

"If you destroy the thorns, you don't need to protect anything!" Bai Minghe said.

Yu Qian shook his head gently: "Bai Minghe, before the Battle of Tumu Fort, one-fifth of the construction here has been completed. It costs huge amounts of money and has huge financial pressure on the Ming Dynasty. But who would have thought that overseas is like a mountain of gold, and you can earn silver faster than digging silver mines."

Bai Minghe thought of a joke, which was the issue of later generations about stealing profit margins from silver dealers.

But you can't tell jokes at this time. Yu Qian's expression was really scary and he looked sad.

Yu Qian pointed to the black brick on the hand of Bai Minghe and said, "After that battle, Datong was only this part under our feet. Everything was destroyed, and the people were killed and injured. After the Battle of the Capital, 70% of the 52 guards in the capital were almost completely lost."

The white-name crane did not take on the job. When it comes to the word "tragic", there are countless tragic cases of how many times have been invaded by foreign enemies in China?

"Sir Yu, do you think Wasai know that our army is going to fight now?"

"I guess I know!" Yu Qian thought about it and replied, "Although the pass was closed, only a few people were allowed to enter and not leave. However, you can't stop a few people from sneaking out thousands of miles of the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. The Wassai people must know that the Ming Dynasty used the whole country to avenge the Tumu Fort. When he first recommended you to be the head coach, he had another idea."

Bai Minghe smiled: "I guess the Wastu people will think that a young jester leads the army and there is no one in the Ming Dynasty. Teach this baby a lesson. Let the Ming Dynasty know how strong Wastu is!"

Yu Qian smiled and nodded: "There is this meaning, but the other meaning is that at least 70% of the generals and 100% of the soldiers you lead are supportive of you, because they say you are a lucky general. You fought very smoothly several times outside. The casualties of the Ming Dynasty soldiers were in single digits. If you can come back alive in the war, you are the commander worth following. And I, Yu Qian, although the defense city of the capital has been praised by the world, do you know how many people died in the battle between the capital?"

The white-famous crane doesn't know.

Yu Qian also said: "According to the Ming Dynasty's laws, the Minister of War does not allow direct command of the army directly. This is the ancestral system, but now Long Live has issued five imperial edicts in a row, granting me the generals of the troops of each battalion, and in fact, I have become the commander. Moreover, no matter civil and military officials, I can take action first and then report to anyone who disobeys the military order."

Bai Minghe still didn't say anything and was still listening attentively.

"The first thing I did when I took office was not to mobilize troops, but to change the logistics strategy and ensure the smooth operation from the perspective of manpower, material resources and financial resources. The subsequent battle was filled with human life. In order to protect the capital, the soldiers used their lives."

Yu Qian's words were equivalent to belittled by his contribution to the defense of the capital.

Bai Minghe didn't think so. At least in the remarks of later generations, Yu Qian took on this important task and supported the Ming Dynasty in the most dangerous time. Isn't this a credit?

"Now, there is no commander in the Ming Dynasty!" Yu Qian said with emotion.

"Little tile thorn!" Bai Minghe gestured with the tip of his little finger: "If you don't live to force me to fight, give me another ten years. I can let the thorn kneel down without a soldier. But now..." Bai Minghe shook his head helplessly: "A million army, there are 20,000 to 30,000 stones of food a day, and a million stones of food a month."

Yu Qian's first reaction was that Bai Minghe had a better way of logistics.

He asked immediately: "Do you have a better transportation strategy?"

"Yes, there is indeed. But just like Tianyin Camp, give me another year, and the efficiency of this Tianyin Camp is much higher than it is now. Give me ten years, and I only need 50,000 people to clear the desert. Unfortunately, as soon as I send troops, I have millions of troops now. The little wealth I have saved with hard work will probably be over. After fighting this battle, I will probably see the bottom. Alas..."

Bai Minghe sighed and Yu Qian laughed and scolded: "You have saved the unpromising things in two years for the past fifty years of the Ming Dynasty. You can save them after fighting this battle."

"Sir Yu, if you stand here, the people of the Ming Dynasty firmly believe that this battle will not be defeated. Then, my stock market will not be affected. The people of the Ming Dynasty are still willing to invest money. If another person is replaced, they will store the money at home, so that they can feel at ease. Therefore, the head coach must be Yu."

Yu Qian doesn't understand these, but he can understand them even if he thinks about them.

The world is in chaos, so the people naturally buried their money in the backyard of their homes. This is true.

"I have handed over my resignation and resigned from the position of Minister of War. The Minister of War is not allowed to take charge of the army, so..."

"Long live, I won't agree. At most, you won't lead troops in the future, but this time, I still say the same thing, you must."

Bai Minghe and Yu Qian were chatting, but they were so anxious that the guards next to him were so anxious, because it was already 5:40, and it was time to talk to Beijing. How could it be possible without these two people present?

But neither Bai Minghe's guard nor Yu Qian's people were both easy to disturb him.

It always feels like the two of them may be discussing important military affairs.

Bai Minghe and Yu Qian were originally very speculative people. Bai Minghe admired Yu Qian and even admired him a little. Yu Qian was also a very modest person, and more importantly, both of them hoped that the Ming Dynasty would be better.

Before we knew it, it was already past six o'clock.

A horse running out of Datong City stopped in front of the guards, while Yu Qian and Bai Minghe were just chatting, not knowing the time, so naturally they didn't pay attention to the horse.

Wang Cheng ran up the city wall: "Two sirs, Luo Tong sent a newspaper that the scout met the scout of Wasai and had fought against him."

"Go back to the city quickly!" Yu Qian did not blame himself for forgetting time, and it was the main thing to go back to the city immediately. There has been nothing wrong these days, so he has relaxed a little.

There were constant radio waves in the sky in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, and all the veteran generals of the Beijing Staff Academy focused on the Wuying Hall, and even the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty rushed over.

"Long live, the scout arrested four people, but did not ask for anything useful."

"Bare!" Zhu Qiyu became angry: "As a pioneer officer, I can't torture him, and tell Luo Tong. If I can't ask for useful things in half an hour, I will send people to Datong. I still don't believe it, and I can't ask for any useful information."

If you send it out, you can't really go to Datong Road.

Luo Tong is currently located at a location of 100 miles north of Xishoujiang City, which is the northwest corner of the Yellow River. The Bayannur position in later generations is about fifty or sixty kilometers northwest, and camps near a tributary of the Yellow River. The scouts caught the people and about one hundred miles to NA.

Without the telegrams that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty rebuked, Luo Tong himself also knew the importance of it.

As a pioneer officer, it is already a mistake to catch the enemy scouts and cannot ask for anything useful.

Luo Tong found the Dongchang team guarding the telegraph and asked for help in torture.

"General Luo, it's not that the young ones don't help you. But the young ones know how to kill people in the East Factory. This torture is not something that the young ones are good at." The people in the East Factory are cruel, but not all of them can interrogate people. Using torture is also a skill.

"What are the tricks in Dongchang? Do you know?"

"I know some of this. There is one of the most commonly used tricks in Dongchang. I use scary torture to first scare these people, and then pretend that someone has recruited people, and the rest will not stick to it."

"What torture scares people?" Luo Tong asked again, "Why didn't he scare enough when he wanted to use a whip.

"This..." The team from the East Factory replied: "I have been reading miscellaneous books recently. There was a ruthless official in the Tang Dynasty. He put the person into a water tank, then burned the fire, and slowly burned it. And, the oil pan, and the other is..." If Bai Minghe was present, he would definitely give Lai Junchen of the Tang Dynasty a medal.

Four water tanks were placed in a row, adding firewood, and then four of them were thrown in.

The hydraulic power of the four water tanks varies.

When I was just thrown in, it was very cold. Because the weather was cold, it gradually became a little warm and it was very familiar. But then, my feet began to heat up and the surroundings began to heat up, which made people feel a little unbearable.

The one with the biggest fire is already calling, and it definitely feels like it's going to die.

"What, you want to call me." A great Ming civil servant said in the language of the Ming Dynasty and the thorns, and then the person was raised. In fact, the person had fainted. The civil servant continued to shout: "If you dare to tell lies, put them in the oil pan and give confessions to others later."

Finally, Luo Tong got some useful news.

In the Wuying Hall of the capital, these news are also being urgently summarized and analyzed.

"Everyone brought dry food for ten days, and they had already set out for five days. Their task was to continue to go deeper until they met the Ming army, or returned when they saw the Great Wall." Li Xian began to read these messages.

In Datong City, Bai Minghe asked a staff officer beside him: "How far can you go in five days?"

"According to the scout's horsepower, it's about five hundred to seven hundred miles!"

Bai Minghe made two ropes, pulled out five hundred miles per piece and seven hundred miles per piece according to the scale of the map, and then used a pencil to draw two semicircular solitary circles on the map. This method lit up Yu Qian's eyes, that is, the location where these scouts set off should be between these two circles.

"Take two more and draw them according to the three hundred miles and nine hundred miles!" Yu Qian thought the scout must have set out first. The range of nine hundred miles should be one of the starting positions. Three hundred miles may be the position of the thorn army at the moment.
