Chapter 330 Strange Command

There is little rain and much wind and snow in the north in winter. Although it brings some inconvenience to the march, it is better not to pour rain in summer. At least the land that is frozen strong is very good, which is also a favorable aspect for the transportation of food, grass, etc.

During the march, news about Wasai was sent over one after another. You should know that Jiang Lang is the head of the Dongchang factory, and Jiang Chengzhi has a very good relationship with him. The huge intelligence network established in Wasai after the war finally played his role. Many of the information in the information are about Yesai and Tuotuobububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububu

Due to the above order, Chen Mengshan and others also ordered the generals below to promulgate the new military disciplines during the march. In comparison, although the new military discipline has been greatly increased, the punishment has become relatively loose, and the soldiers are not very repulsive. After all, they are new recruits and do not have the courage. However, the incidents in the arena that day gradually spread among these soldiers, and some things about Jianglang were also passed down. Unconsciously, in the hearts of the soldiers, Jianglang has slowly established a good image. Of course, the first thing is to be a great martial arts. For soldiers, having a general with excellent martial arts is undoubtedly very good news.

In addition to Sun Yuanbiao and others, there were only one thousand people including Yu Rong. The so-called seeing is true and hearing is false. These thousand people are a very good example. Even Chen Mengshan and others couldn't help but feel a little scared. Moreover, after Chen Mengshan accidentally saw these people's mutual training, he had to sigh that the strength of these people was not inferior to himself in terms of martial arts. That is, the more than a thousand people around Jiang Lang. In terms of martial arts, they were equivalent to more than a thousand generals protecting him.

Jiang Lang, Chen Mengshan and others knew much more about those soldiers, and naturally they understood Jiang Lang's character. In comparison, he was even more terrifying than Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen was cruel and would not do it himself, while Jiang Lang was different. Naturally, there were no people who died from his hands, so they could kill people without blinking.

So, along the way, before Jiang Lang's order was issued, Chen Mengshan and others naturally raised their own questions about some possible imperfect places, but once this order was issued, they would not violate it. Therefore, Jiang Lang's order was executed very smoothly along the way. Jiang Lang was naturally very satisfied with this. As for the reason, he naturally didn't have to figure it out, as long as the result was done. Gradually, Chen Mengshan and others also gradually figured out Jiang Lang's temper. They were usually very kind and did not have much airs. They could not even eat in their own camp, but ran to eat big pot meals with his thousand people, and talked and chatted with the soldiers with a smile. Of course, Chen Mengshan and others also knew that if they annoyed him, Wei Jinzhong would definitely be a very good role model.

After a period of training, Jiang Lang and others finally arrived in Datong.

As an important military town on the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, Datong had an important influence on the history of the Ming Dynasty, protecting the mainland from the invasion of Mongolian military forces and escorting the normal development of Ming Dynasty society. In addition, it is closer to the capital, so it is more attacked by the Mongolian army than other military towns, which also demonstrates the importance of Datong military town to the history of the Ming Dynasty.

In the first year of Hongwu (1368), Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing and established the Ming Dynasty. Subsequently, the target of the military attack was directly aimed at the Central Plains. Under the pressure of the Ming army, Emperor Shun of Yuan voluntarily withdrew from the capital and retreated to the north of the frontier, and the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed. The following year, the Ming army attacked Datong, and the defenders of the Yuan Dynasty also fled without fighting, and Datong belonged to the Ming Dynasty from then on.

Although the Mongolian forces withdrew from the Central Plains, their military forces were preserved because of their voluntary withdrawal from the north of the Great Wall, leaving serious border troubles to the Ming Dynasty. "In the end of the Ming Dynasty, the border defense (north) was very serious." Under such circumstances, the Ming government successively set up important "nine borders" towns on the northern border.

Datong called the town in the 12th year of Yongle (1414) of Chengzu, and it was not accidental. During the Ming Dynasty, the natural dangers of Yinshan and the Yellow River were no longer part of it. In addition, in the early days of Yongle, when Xinghewei was abandoned, the Daning Dusi and Dongshengwei moved inward one after another, and the entire defense line moved hundreds of miles southward, so Datong inevitably became a front line of border defense. Secondly, Datong had an important strategic position, which was "connected to Shanggu in the east, reached Bingheng in the south, bounded the Yellow River in the west, controlled the desert in the north, occupied the key points of the border, and returned to the vassal screen of the capital", becoming the throat leading to the inland. Thirdly, the north of Datong "looked at Pingyan and the enemy was in danger, and such geographical conditions made Datong vulnerable to attack. Fourth, since the Hongwu Dynasty implemented the policy of reunification and pacification against Mongolian nobles, Datong has become a channel for Mongolian nobles to go to Beijing for official trade.

Looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was strong in the early stage or weakness in the later stage, Datong Town played a role in Pingfan Capital and defending the lives and property of the people in the mainland. In the end, there were many soldiers and generals in Datong who died in battle and paid a considerable price. The recovery and development of the Ming Dynasty economy cannot be said to have played an important role in the border town represented by Datong. As the location of the Ming and Mongolian markets, Datong Town also played a positive role in promoting each other's economic exchanges.

In other words, Datong is the important town closest to Wasai. In the last battle, Datong suffered heavy losses. Although the court finally recovered and deployed defenses, it could not be compared with the capital in any case, and it did not recover much in a few months.

When he arrived in Datong, Jiang Lang sent someone to notify Shen Mengshan and others, and there were also military officers to discuss matters in his tent. How dare Shen Mengshan and others disobey Jiang Lang's orders? He rushed to the tent.

The tent was burning with flames, and the tent also separated the warmth in the tent from the ice and snow outside. Jiang Lang sat upright in the uppermost position, and Shen Mengshan and others had already sat in their own position, waiting for Jiang Lang to speak.

After looking at Shen Mengshan and others below, Jiang Lang didn't intend to talk nonsense and said, "I want everyone to come today. There is a very important task for everyone to complete!"

As soon as he heard of the important task, Shen Mengshan and others couldn't help but feel nervous. Although the twatts had already started fighting, no information about attacking the border was coming, and they didn't know what the important task Jiang Lang said was!

So Shen Mengshan bowed and said seriously: "If you have any important tasks, please give me instructions. Even if I have to fight for my life, I will be able to complete them!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, "General Shen, you are serious. Although this task is very heavy, it doesn't require you to complete it with your life. It's just a matter of ignoring it but you have to spend more time."

Chen Mengshan and others were stunned when they heard this, and could not figure out what Jiang Lang’s so-called important task meant. They could only bow again: “I am ignorant, please let the general know clearly!”

Jiang Lan didn't intend to keep it in a silence and said, "I want you to buy 50,000 shovels and shovels within five days, and then allocate them to 50,000 soldiers. When you arrive at the border, you must prepare 100,000! At the same time, you must have 20,000 spares! At the same time, you must have some other tools."

Twenty thousand shovels and shovels?

Chen Mengshan was stunned. As a general, he had never received such an order. After being stunned, he asked: "Sir, don't you know what you want these things?"

Jiang Lang naturally understood the doubts in these people's hearts, and was not worried that there would be spies among them. As the factory manager of the Dongchang, the details of these people had long been clearly found.

Jiang Lang, who stood up, pointed his hand on the map behind him, then drew a circle, and then said, "I plan to build a city here!"

"Cultivate the city?"

Chen Mengshan and others were all shocked, their faces full of incredible feelings. After a while, Chen Mengshan asked, "Sir, aren't we going to attack Wasai now?"

"good!"

Jiang Lang did not deny it and said, "We are going to attack Washi, but now the civil strife of Washi, why don't we wait for them to be more chaotic? The more they fight themselves, the more powerful they are, and at the same time they have no way to take care of us. Moreover, our army of hundreds of thousands has now freed up 100,000 to build a city, and the remaining soldiers are enough to deal with the current situation of Washi!"

Chen Mengshan and others probably understood what Jiang Lang meant. Jiang Lang wanted to build the city while the thorns were in civil strife and gain a foothold. However, not to mention how big the construction of the city was, even these 100,000 shovels and shovels were enough to make Chen Mengshan’s eyebrows frown. After pondering for a moment, Chen Mengshan then said: “Will the time be too hasty in five days!”

"Time doesn't wait for anyone!"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but sighed slightly, "This Datong is rich in coal and iron. You can contact the defenders here and ask them to use all the blacksmiths to speed up the time to complete it no matter what!"
