As the situation on the grassland gradually entered a stalemate, Liu Yu decided to lead Zhou Tui Niu and others to visit the forts north.

Wu Yunting is on the western front and Yang Shuting is on the eastern front. Liu Yu is preparing to leave Xinpingbao and patrol towards Jiningbao, then turn west and head towards Heihebao.

When they left Wangjiazhuang, there were a lot of people gathering together when they arrived in Xinpingbao, and the number reached more than 300 riders.

Shortly after Liu Yu left the frontier, five people in the Military Information Department were sweating profusely and said to the staff: "It seems that the most dangerous thing is not Heihe Fort, but Jining Fort."

"Jining Fort?"

"right."

There were several staff members standing behind Wu, each of whom was anxious, and several young staff members were holding a picture with arrows densely covered with arrows.

"The military fort we built now has almost formed two chains. Although we are short of troops, the fortresses on both lines have already stationed warriors and baggage soldiers, and even sheltered many Han people on the grassland. Some of the civilians are also among them. They have enough personnel and our warriors are strong. The Northern Barbarians cannot ignore these military forts and attack from each fort. The Northern Barbarians do not have such strength. If we go south to cut off our supplies, the threat of the two military forts behind them is too great. Therefore, they seemed to be at a loss and could not do anything about it. Now it seems that the Northern Barbarians from both the east and west routes are only forbearing, and their real goal is to break Jining Fort."

Five steps, pointing to a point on the map, and said: "There are many military forts from Daheihe Fort on the west road, the Heihe Fort on the west road, and the Xinping Fort on the east road is from Daqing River Fort. The Xinghe Fort and Erlong River Fort on the south side are also a winding south line. The two lines have a common intersection, that is, Jining Fort. If we break the Jining Fort, we will not be able to cross the east and west lines. The soldiers arranged in the two routes will be separated. The Northern Barbarians will no longer have to worry about the battle with our soldiers, because our army cannot calmly mobilize and gather, and will be divided and blocked. After a long time, the military forts will also collapse due to shortage of food. We cannot stand firm, and the northbound strategy will naturally fail."

A staff officer asked, "Chief, are there any signs of Northern Lu beings being transferred?"

Wu Dao: "Not yet. If there is, how could you ask the adults to go to Jining Castle first? This is just the most dangerous situation we have deduced. Moreover, if the Beilu is stupid, sooner or later will understand that if the Jining Castle is not captured, the Beilu will be completely trapped by us. It will be a matter of time before the defeat."

May Day looked anxious and said, "The garrison of Jining Fort is very weak at present, because the Military and Political Department and the Military Information Department consider that the fort is in the middle and south. Now, there are only one battalion led by Li Shouyi in Baozhong, as well as some baggage troops and farmers, with a total number of less than a thousand people. What we are worried about is that the Beilu gathers the main force to attack the fort and cut off supplies for a long time."

"Do you want to go and recover the lord?" said a staff officer with concern.

"I'm afraid that the adults have already thought of the problem of Jining Castle, otherwise they would not have chosen to go to Jining Castle first." May Day said with shame.

This time he went north, Liu Yu knew that he was likely to be trapped, but he had no choice.

The entire battlefield was already a big chain. Jining Fort was the lock in the middle of the chain. It was locked. The Northern Lu could only ride south or disturb Xuanfu. There was no way to deal with the Datong line. The frequency of raids in Yansui was high, and even if they went south, it would be fine. The court would not be furious.

Now Liu Yu is trying to lock the Northern Lu and trap the Mongols to death, so it is crucial to maintain the integrity of the entire front.

By the coming year, the newly built military fortress and military stations will form a more solid and complete defense system. The new army will be trained in large quantities, the cavalry will be strengthened, and the artillery will be increased. That is the time for battle.

During this period, I could only defend each fort and gain a foothold first.

"Sir." As soon as we arrived in Xinpingbao, Niu rode his horse from the road ahead on Tuesday and reported: "A group of Thai monks came from the official road in Zhangjiakou. We interrogated it and it was Sun Yuanhua who guided them to come to Wangjiazhuang to serve Darao."

Sun Yuanhua had already left Wangjiazhuang and went to the capital to take the big exam. These Thais came through Sun Yuanhua's introduction, so of course they should have come from the capital.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu said: "Since you have met this by chance, bring them here!"

The guards and cavalry dispersed on the avenue to warn the possible assassins among the pedestrians.

However, Liu Yu himself didn't care about this, so he found a teahouse and took Zhou Erniu and several guards to sit inside.

Not long after, a group of about ten Rao Taixi people were brought over.

These Thais had no mules and horses, and had never taken a car. After the guards interrogated them, they realized that these people had to walk or take a car along the way, and they had to come from the capital after seven or eight.

There are six places in Shanxi to Xuanfu. The people have little knowledge and low information. Local officials do not know much about the Thais. There are many military forts along the way. Fortunately, one of the leaders named Ruowang, who opened the road in the capital according to the rules, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

When they arrived at Xinpingburg, Joshua Chan and others were very tired and a little disappointed.

They felt that this place was not suitable for missionary work, and they also felt that Wangjiazhuang might not be as advanced as Sun Yuanhua.

When he met Liu Yu halfway, Ruowang Tang said to everyone: "If that Lord Liu is different from what we have heard before, we can only turn around on the spot, which will save some roads."

One of the priests said: "We have come to the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away and cannot give up because of setbacks."

Upon hearing this, Johnson Chan smiled.

This young missionary Rao had this indomitable spirit when he was young, just like him and his predecessors.

A group of missionaries were led to Liu Yu, and everyone wanted to bow and bow according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.

"No need to be polite, please sit down!" Liu Yu sat on the stool and looked at these missionaries with interest.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, a large number of priests entered China. Some were real ascetic monks. They not only preached missions, but also established good churches, raised abandoned babies, established hospitals, saved the poor, established schools, and hosted poor children to school. However, during the Qing dynasty, China's national strength was weak, and some of the priests began to act as a blessing in China, looted Chinese wealth, and enslaved Chinese people like slaves. In order to promote the church, believers were overwhelmed by ordinary people, causing local conflicts. During the Boxer Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty, many missionaries were killed, and many of them were killed in Shanxi, which was very miserable.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was still strong, far ahead of the European countries' forces in Asia, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands' tentative attacks were defeated.

The governors of the south of the Ming Dynasty could solve the malicious invaders. After several large-scale wars, Europeans had to admit that the Ming Dynasty was also a powerful and famous country.

Many missionaries wrote articles that greatly praised the Ming Dynasty, and the attitudes of these missionaries in front of them were very respectful. The Ming Bandit Army
