In the 27th year of Hongwu, the Bozhou Xuanwei Office, which was originally belonged to the Guizhou Dusi, was changed to the Sichuan Provincial Administration and Envoy.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu has occupied Sichuan, he ordered the General Office to send government orders to the Bozhou Xuanwei Office, but it did not play any role for a while. It was not until Zhu Gaoxu's more than 100,000 troops arrived that the Bozhou Xuanwei Office was occupied by the vanguard army.

Today is the last day of the fifth year of Yongle, which is the New Year's Eve, but the Han Wang Army is still marching. The middle-aged soldiers and horses where Zhu Gaoxu is located will arrive at a small inn south in the afternoon before camping.

The mountains on both sides of the avenue are very large. Zhu Gaoxu estimated that it would take at least a whole day to walk from the mountain in the east to the top of the mountain in the west!

Although Bozhou is in the south of Sichuan, the weather is even colder. There was only a icy rain here the day before yesterday, but fortunately it stopped soon. The rain was mixed with ice particles, so Zhu Gaoxu rarely encountered this in such weather.

Zhu Gaoxu rode on the horse, watching the mountains on both sides, tilting his head for too long, and his neck began to feel sore.

Suddenly, he took advantage of the bright sunshine and found that there were faint figures in the mountains and forests in the east. After a while, more and more people came out of the forest. Someone in the army shouted: "Has the vanguard scouts patrolled the East Mountain?"

Zhu Gaoxu did not say anything, he was still calm and continued to watch the scene on the hillside... After all, in this era, it was very difficult to assemble a large army; those main forces of the enemy were thousands of miles away and Zhu Gaoxu knew about it. There was no large army in Bozhou area, so it was naturally impossible to suddenly appear large ambushers; and the weapons at this time were limited. If the troops were insufficient to ambush the army, it would be a rock with eggs.

A stream of Han Wangjun cavalry left the main road and ran over to a mountain road to the east.

At this moment, the people on the mountain raised a flag, which was a piece of gray rag sewn together. Zhu Gaoxu narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, and finally saw the words written on the cloth.

There is a big black letter written on it: Ming.

Then, people who had already walked out of the forest fell to one knee to the Han King's Central Army banner, as if they were marching silently.

"The man in the green!" Zhu Gaoxu blurted out.

According to the definition of the commander of Yuezhou Guard, Ma Peng (Yao Fengji), the Chuanqing people were Han people, fleeing Han soldiers.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered that before he went to Guizhou, he ordered the Sichuan three departments to issue a government order from all over the country.

The government decree said that Yun, Guizhou and Sichuan were overwhelmed by the "Chuqing people" who fled, and had once guarded dangerous places for the Ming Dynasty and had made contributions to protecting the country and protecting the people. Therefore, the Han Palace made a decision. From the Hongwu year to the fifth year of Yongle, the fleeing military households would pardon all their crimes and allow them to return to their hometowns to serve the people. If they go to the Dushi and various government offices to sue themselves, they would be allowed to restore their military status. Those who follow the Han Dynasty would pay military salaries, and the soldiers of the Han Dynasty would not be wrong.

Unexpectedly, the first group of people wearing green clothes came to vote soon. With role models, more and more will be available in the future!

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the flag in the distance, his face moved, and a hint of relief appeared. He thought to himself: There are always grass, sheep, and people in this world, but if there is a flag that can organize the sheep, it is difficult to become a human being. The key is organization.

He turned his head and pointed at a commander-in-chief of the guards and said, "Go and call Hou Hai here. You have been busy these days. Those who wear green clothes will first send them military rations, then verify their military status and register them, send out clothing, armor and weapons, pay military salaries, and organize them into an army."

"The last one will receive orders!"

The army continued to move forward, and in the afternoon, the central army camped at a small post station. The supplies camp recruited or traded from the Bozhou area and transported them to the New Year, and everyone was going to celebrate the New Year in camp.

There was a crackling sound of firearms outside the inn, and red couplets were posted outside the lobby. The noisy camps gradually became a festive atmosphere.

Maybe the baggage camp distributed pigs and sheep to Chuanqing people, and a shout came from Chuanqing people's camp, "The King of Han is the king of brothers!"

The word "Clouding Green Man" has appeared in the official newspaper, and this is indeed the first time. They are military households that are easily overlooked. If Zhu Gaoxu had not heard of Ma Peng, he would have never heard of it. However, the Han Palace's Mansion can also be written into official documents for these names circulating among the people; for this matter alone, military households in various places have known the attitude of the Han Palace.

The camps were celebrating the New Year, but Zhu Gaoxu was busy reading the memorials in the lobby of the inn.

The reports of the generals in the army and the official documents of the various yamen in Sichuan and Yunnan were sent to the central army. During the day, Zhu Gaoxu had to ride a horse to travel, but he couldn't see it, so he stopped and was busy dealing with the matter.

Miao Jin brought a cup of tea and placed it on a strange table next to it. The table was square, but there was a round hole in the middle, which could burn fire, reminding people of the hot pot tables in later generations.

She looked here and saw Zhu Gaoxu writing quickly and was about to leave. However, Zhu Gaoxu said without raising his head, "I haven't celebrated New Year's Eve together for many years."

Miao Jin turned around, "I was in the capital last time..." She suddenly remembered something, and her voice stopped abruptly.

Zhu Gaoxu looked up and saw her cheeks flushing.

He recalled a little, and remembered the last New Year's Eve of the capital before Julian Yunnan. The scene on the carriage appeared in his mind. The fireworks occasionally made the dark carriage lit up, and the beautiful and charming pictures flashed, like pictures.

"It's indeed in the capital." Zhu Gaoxu put down the brush in his hand, "But the first thing I thought of was on the New Year's Eve of Peking. Perhaps it was the well in the Yan Palace. It was so scary at night. I was particularly impressed by the things I feared."

When Miao Jin was not speaking, her beautiful face seemed to be able to speak. She was dodging with shame on her face just now, and a richer expression appeared, as if she was a little grateful and a little sigh.

Her red lips opened lightly, and she was about to speak, but a voice came from outside the door and said, "Report to the Prince, the 'Guardian Mansion' has sent someone to deliver a letter. I just arrived at the camp."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Miao Jin with his back to the door and shouted loudly: "Put in, Nansi or Beisi?"

The visitor replied, "Return to the prince, the messenger brought the news from the two departments of the North and South."

The so-called Guardian is the yamen of the Jinyiwei. It turned out that the Han Palace had a spy institution. In order to cover up, it was called "The King's Guardian Hundred Houses Office". After Zhu Gaoxu raised his army, he expanded the scale and changed it to the "Guardian" and established two departments in the North and South. It was the same as the establishment of the Jinyiwei in the imperial court... The Beizhen Fushi was responsible for the criminal prison and the traitor, and the Nanzhen Fushi was responsible for the research of weapons.

After a while, a messenger walked into the door and bowed to present the things. In addition to the letters, there was actually a fire gun wrapped in cloth.

It must be a new musket developed by Nansi! Zhu Gaoxu took it out with great enthusiasm. After looking at it for a while, he quickly showed a disappointed expression. This was not a novel thing, but a copy of the "sharp gun" seized from Annanguo.

Although this thing is slightly further away from the Ming army's copper muskets, the arrow clusters used are more troublesome to make bullets than those of copper muskets... and there is also a big disadvantage. The penetration power of the arrow cluster is not as good as that of the projectiles. It is probably because the arrow cluster cannot rotate after it is out of the chamber. Is it because there is no chamber line?

The biggest problem is that Annan Kingdom’s “sharp gun” is no essential difference compared with the Ming army’s muskets; it is still cast gun barrels, and it still needs to be lit with open flames.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and asked the messenger to leave first. He put down the musket in disappointment and turned around and asked, "What did Miao Jin want to say just now?"

"Forgot." Miao Jin's expression returned to calm.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her and did not force her.

He sat for a while and pointed to the musket on the table, "The Han Palace cannot just imitate it, but also create it by itself. If such things are created, they will not have much effect. With the craftsmanship of various parts of the Ming Dynasty, the enemy can easily imitate it."

He picked up the brush, took a piece of white paper, and asked to reply to Nansi. But when he picked up the brush, he quickly put it down.

Zhu Gaoxu always felt very strange when he remembered the sergeants' posture of setting guns. It was like he was holding a long gun, near his chest... This was completely different from Zhu Gaoxu's posture of setting guns in various films and military training. He thought that shooting guns requires aiming with his eyes.

The Ming army's posture was completely unable to aim, which was one of the reasons why the fire rate of the musket was very low; but the soldiers could not change their posture, because when setting the musket, they had to free up one hand to get some leads, so they had to put it under their armpits first.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, then wrote it in his reply, asking Nanshi to find a way to test it and change the ignition device of the musket so that he could aim with the gun in both hands.

He then rushed tore open Beishi's letter and said, "After reading this letter, let's go for a walk nearby."

"The war is imminent, and the King of Han should put great things first." Miao Jin advised softly.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I spent an hour walking with Miaojin on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. Can't I be defeated for this reason?"

After hearing this, Miao Jin smiled in her bright almond's eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu opened the letter and saw the smile on his face soon disappeared. He raised his head and said, "Qu Neng is indeed very eye-catching. The enemy in Huguang is going to reinforce Guizhou, and the commander is Wu Gao."

"Jiangyin Marquis." Miao Jin responded. She was born into a family of officials and seemed to have known the old ministers who were of high power.

Zhu Gaoxu looked thoughtful and did not say anything.

He thought that Wu Gao must take the road to "enter Huguang Road" to Guizhou.

Zhu Gaoxu has experience and led his army through the Luzhou Road in Usada, and now he is on the Yubojian Road. This kind of mobilization that can be carried out for hundreds or thousands of miles, and the army has been repaired for several times. If the arrangement is a little inappropriate, it will be easy to congested or the military supplies are not good. If you march in the mountains in the southwest, you will still be like this and march along the main road. If you find another way, it will be difficult not to make any problems.

"Does the King of Han still want to go out?" Miao Jin said in his voice.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "I agreed just now, let's go."
