On the first day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign, the chieftains in Xining seemed to have received the Qinghai Generalissimo Experience Card.
At four o'clock every day, the morning bell hanging in the Bell and Drum Tower of the New City rings, and the whole city turns over like an earthly dragon.
It was the time for the generalissimo to get up. The four battalions and twelve sentries in the city lined up along the long street, each running vigorously under the leadership of the escort officer.
Qi Guoping was frightened to the point of restlessness the night before. He was so frightened that it wasn't until Yinshi that he closed his eyes and had a nightmare about being taken to the execution ground.
Half asleep and half awake, he was woken up by the guard outside the door. He touched his neck and said that it was just a dream. Immediately afterwards, he heard the collision of clothes and armor outside. The guard urged him and his wife to get up. They were scared to death.
When I ran out, I found that the whole city seemed to be standing on the dark street. People lined up in military formations on the long street. The chieftains were frightened. Some even thought it was an expedition and secretly cursed it for going too far... To attack our home, they also wanted to kill us.
Shall we form an army?
But then, people ran up the city wall from the long street and started running around the five-mile town, and the chieftains really felt relieved.
In the following days, Qi Guoping followed the team for morning jogs every day, and gradually figured out the ropes.
There are more than 3,000 people in the children's camp in Xincheng, including teachers and students of the government school, soldiers, and kitchen workers. They get up at four o'clock every day and run in the morning at six o'clock. Each camp has a fixed running route and queue, and is equipped with military music and drums.
Extraordinarily spectacular.
In the children's camp alone, there are three formations according to age. The youngest children only need to line up from the children's camp to the city gate and then run back; the cooking and older children will go up the city wall from the east gate and run
Go to the north gate, go under the city wall, and return to camp to get busy.
Elderly people, women, and students from the Fu Xue Primary School who were opening classes followed the procession from the west gate up the city wall to the east gate and down the city wall.
The remaining students from the middle school and compound of Fu Xue, as well as the garrison in the city, will go up to the city from the west gate, run two laps along the city wall in the morning, then go down to the city from the west gate, and then go back to their camps and eat in the college.
Qi Guoping stayed in Xincheng for a few days and discovered that Liu Chengzong was not a normal person, and that even the people in the city could not be normal people.
In the whole new city, there are no restaurants, theaters or poetry clubs, let alone happy places for gambling, stalls and dancing. There is nothing. People in the city are doing different things, but the people who manage them are all military officers. p>
Even the old men and women in the city have to go for a morning jog.
In the first three days of the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign, Qi Guoping followed Liu Chengzong and distributed New Year's money to the children and students who came to pay New Year's greetings. They were all led by teachers to kowtow.
Qi Guoping wanted to see the Grand Marshal's hand in giving New Year's money, but he didn't know that the Grand Marshal didn't make New Year's copper coins for the children at all. When someone came to pay New Year's greetings, he would give them a second-hand or third-hand Spanish bow or Mongolian bow.
Tied with a red rope and equipped with two forged iron arrow clusters.
Liu Chengzong said that if evil spirits dare to come, shoot them to death.
Both the children's camps and the academies in this city are dominated by teenagers. There are sufficient manpower outside the city and they are not needed to participate in production, so the main task every day is to study, and there are almost no illiterate people.
But none of them have much knowledge. The educational level of most people is limited to just learning the Four Books and Five Classics, and a rough calculation of the classics. But their specialty is reciting and dictating "Records of Military Training" proficiently. As long as there are not too many typos, knowing this is fine.
Enlightenment is successful.
This matter was not even stipulated by Liu Chengzong. Fortunately, the guards at the Marshal's Mansion were very easy to talk to. After Qi Guoping inquired, he learned that this was because there was a lack of grassroots teachers when the Marshal's Mansion first came over. Mr. Kaimeng came from Zuantianmao Academy. Zhuantianmao Academy was founded in Yan'an Prefecture in northern Shaanxi Province. It has a weak teaching staff and a narrow enrollment scope, which relies entirely on recommendations from bandits. It is also a vocational college with a graduation package. The employment scope is also relatively narrow, and the corresponding position is for a small rebel leader.<
/p>
They know this, so they can only teach this to enlighten them.
The whole city is like a big military camp. The entertainment activities for men, women, old and young include archery, horseback riding, hunting, wrestling and fighting, listening to stories and watching plays.
Qi Guoping went to listen to stories, and they all told stories about the drought in northern Shaanxi. They told people to cherish the people around them, practice diligently, protect themselves and their families in times of trouble, and be ready for war at all times.
In this regard, generals are generals and common people are common people. Qi Guoping cannot represent the hungry and poor people in northern Shaanxi, so it feels meaningless.
However, the play performed on the sixth day of the first lunar month was very good. It was different from the things they used to watch in teahouses and theaters. The scene was huge, and the whole city was mobilized by Liu Chengzong to stage a large-scale melodrama about the change of Jisi.
Liu Chengzong captured the actors on the spot, and the envoy, Guitu Taiji, was captured and staged the golden Taiji invasion. The deserters from nine sides acted as reinforcements from nine sides. The chieftains were assigned officials and generals to assist the Liao one by one, and they also took offensive and defensive drills.
.
The children in the children's camp and the old, weak, women and children in the city acted as Beijing people and practiced escaping. There were also military officers standing by to tell them what to bring with them on the escape march.
Students wore dragon robes on the street and played the role of Chongzhen imprisoning ministers who were aiding the Liao Dynasty. A bunch of chieftains didn't need to rehearse. There wasn't much they could do anyway. The border soldiers told them they were hungry, blew up their camps, mutinied, and escaped to wait for punishment from the court.
The feeling was so strong that everyone started to get angry.
Regardless of their real identities or role-playing, they can neither provide food nor make the border troops obey.
Of course, some things are different from historical facts. Although people have role scripts, the ministers played by these chieftains cannot survive until they are imprisoned by Emperor Chongzhen.
Wu Zimian, played by Little Chieftain Li Hongyuan, did not care about the starving soldiers, which led to a mutiny by the border troops in Yansui Town. During the process of suppressing the mutiny, Wu Zimian was killed by the border troops with a scabbard on his neck.
Hou Shilu, played by Zhao Tusi Zhao Yu, has been running around the city all day without food. He is so tired that his mount is frothing. After reading the script, he has to lead his troops to the city and let Hou Jinbing give him a bone on the head. He throws his hat and doesn't want to
As the performance continued, Jin Yiwei killed him on the spot.
Li Tianyu took a script written by Mangui. He wanted to win, but he knew that Mangui asked the defenders on the city to fire artillery and accidentally injured him. He did not dare to fight under the city and was directly imprisoned.
The police officers suspected that he was a prisoner, and strictly ordered the Ministry of War not to send troops to assist him. He was surrounded and annihilated by Huang Taiji, played by Qu Tu Taiji. In the end, his body was not recovered, and he was not given any sympathy or promotion.

Qi Guoping played the role of Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi. When the pacesetter told him he was hungry, he endured it and ran to two piers outside the new city to ask the magistrate for food. The magistrate refused to give it and in anger shot the magistrate with a pier arrow.
As a result, he heard that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to imprison him, so he instigated a mutiny on the spot and killed Shiliu, who was playing the role of eunuch, with a scabbard. He also wanted to lead troops to attack Beijing, becoming the only official in the game who was killed by the emperor's car before the battle was over. Chen Shiwen had a great time. He played the role of the Minister of the Ministry of War. He was so happy that these big chieftains who could only look up to him ran around like dogs. He was so happy that he sent eunuchs to catch anyone who disobeyed. The orders he issued were somewhat adulterated.
Mixed with personal feelings, the performance of the Ministry of War in the Jisi Revolution was supported by one's own efforts.
Anyway, after a confusing battle show-off, not many of the chieftains were happy. They were all as tired as donkeys and had not yet come to a good end. They were all deep in thought, especially thinking about the current situation in Hehuang, they couldn't even get up to eat. p>
The soldiers, students, children, women and children in the city are also exhausted. This kind of war performance does not have a high game content for them, but they use the game more for large-scale camp exercises, escape drills and marching training.
This guy was really happy. This guy was really playing. He had never played such an exciting game before. During dinner at night, he even asked Liu Chengzong if he had a chance to play another game, like Lin Dan Khan attacking Guihua City. He wanted to
Play brother.
Firstly, it was because Goututaiji liked this novel entertainment, but secondly, the young Mongolian prince had his own ideas. He deliberately left a stupid and playful image in the Marshal's Mansion in order to find a successor for himself.
Road.
Outsiders do not understand the current status of Chahar, but Qututaiji understands that in fact, since the Western Expedition to Tumote, the Mongolian Khanate that occupied Tumochuan is no longer Chahar.
The so-called eight camps of Chahar include the eight divisions of Keshiketeng, Haoqite, Aohan, Naiman, Sunit, Ujimqin, Arakzhuote and Zhuyiti.
Among them, Keshiketeng is a descendant of Xie Xue in the past, and his leader is Sonomu. Although he was beaten by Hu Duntu, he still followed Hu Duntu.
The former leader of the Aohan tribe was Xiao Gaiqing, who was accidentally killed by the Ming army a few years ago. The subsequent leader was Xiao Gaiqing's son Sonomu Duleng.
The Naiman tribe is the Naiman tribe in the past, and its leader is Gonchuk Taiji, who is not only a boer, but also the second brother-in-law of Hu Duntu.
When the five major battalions of Chaohua were attacked and destroyed, and Horqin surrendered to Houjin, the two tribes of Aohan and Naiman were caught between Houjin and Chahar. They wanted to mediate the war and sent envoys to Houjin. p>
Huang Taiji's villain envoy came to Hu Duntu, saying that he would not talk to your tribe, but would send an envoy to communicate with you and me. Hu Duntu Khan accurately extracted the information Huang Taiji wanted him to know: the two tribes had betrayed him. p>
He raised his troops angrily, and Aohan and Naiman from the eighth battalion surrendered to Houjin.
The leaders of the two tribes, Sunit and Ujumqin, stopped playing with the Great Khan because of their forcible conversion and irrational behavior such as beating themselves, and led their troops to move to Mobei and other places far away from the disputes.
Hal was saddened by the loss of four battalions.
Arakzhuote and Zhuyiti were defeated and collapsed during the Mongolian civil war during the Great Khan's western expedition to Tumote, and Hu Duntu lost six battalions.
At this point, except for the former coward Xue Keshi Keten and the two Haoqite tribes led by the Great Khan, the Mongolians who are still with Hu Duntu have changed more than once, and many of them are small leaders gathered along the way.
Thirty thousand prisoners from the right wing were surrendered to the army and so on.
Ruitutaiji watched in a daze as the great situation turned into this. The five major battalions of fried flowers disobeyed, so they beat them! They won; the two tribes disobeyed, so they beat them! They won; they went west to fight Tumut, they won.
;Win, win, no one around.
He still doesn't know why it turned out like this, but he knows that Chahar has never been as weak as it is now.
Originally, Zututaiji wanted to go back and suggest to his brother to attack the Marshal's Mansion, but what about the situation here... It seems that the cooks, old men, and children in the new city can fight with Chahar. Even the training of this group of children and old men is more professional than that of Chahar. Now Chahar's horses are so hungry that their ribs are sticking out. The reason why they lost their pots on the road is because the horses either starved to death, or people were so hungry that they ate the horses.
There is no need to think about military training at all.
The most important thing is that Gututaiji also followed Liu Chengzong to the camp for two military exercises. Liu Chengzong stationed all elite troops outside the city. There was no intimidating charge and gun training, just marching practice.
Liu Chengzong and Guitu Taiji also followed the march, walking a hundred miles a day with their horses, donkeys and mules, and setting up camp at night. They ate and rested as they should, just like normal people.
Even if he was marching on the flat ground in the river valley, from dawn to night, Qututaiji was almost exhausted, and this was because he had to ride a horse in the middle.
When he was eating, he stared blankly. He always thought that the big fish and meat was the New Year's Eve dinner of the Marshal's Mansion. In fact, the soldiers ate more meat than their New Year's Eve dinner.
After all, there is millet for the New Year's Eve dinner. The food for the soldiers is very serious. There is not even a grain of rice. There are only two or two noodles a day. In addition, it is all meat, butter and milk. Only one hunting camp full of Spanish soldiers eats this.
Minced meat tsampa.
He thought Liu Chengzong was not good to the shooting camp, but unexpectedly Liu Shizi said it was because they couldn't eat anything full of meat.
In the Marshal's Mansion, it's easy to eat meat, but it's harder to eat noodles. The ration of pickled vegetables is very small, but as for fresh vegetables, you need to make a big effort, and you can eat them in two months.
This is nothing to attack. If it weren't for the fact that there are deserts and Gobi outside Gansu, Qututaiji would even want to go back and warn his brother not to enter Qinghai.
On the night of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Chen Qindai brought Nuttu Taiji to find Liu Chengzong. Nuttu was going back to Gansu to revive Hu Duntu.
Chen Qindai said: "Commander, Guitu Taiji has a request. Can you build him a house in the new city? It doesn't need to be too big. Then give him a piece of pasture in Haibei, enough for two thousand people to live in grazing. He wants to come here in the future.
For fun, it’s not convenient to stay in the Marshal’s Mansion all the time.”
Liu Chengzong:???
Who the hell told you to come over to play, and it’s not convenient to stay in the Marshal’s Mansion?
How come people in their thirties don’t regard themselves as outsiders at all?
Xianggui thought so, but in fact, there were no requirements. Zhu Mu didn't need Liu Shizi to take care of the food, so he had no intention of taking care of the tens of thousands of people like Hu Duntu.
Naturally, he is not planning to build a house for Guitu Taiji.
Liu Chengzong's face was very natural: "There is a local herdsman in Haibei. If he wants to settle here, I will leave him a piece of land later. When the time comes, I will come over and hire people. I can build it with whatever bricks and tiles I want."
All ready-made."
When Guitutaiji heard that Liu Chengzong asked him to stay in the herdsman, he repeatedly said that the generalissimo was a good friend, and even said quickly: "I have 600 heavy cavalry. If the general needs it, he can change the horse to fight!"
After saying that, he knew he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "I will let Hadun live here, and the commander will make another big show!"
However, this change of topic was meaningless. Liu Chengzong secretly laughed in his heart. The military mobilization of the Marshal's Mansion could not be hidden from anyone. Qututaiji knew that they were going to fight, but that sentence also revealed another information. Chahar's war horse was so thin.
Awesome, it can no longer carry a heavy ride.
Liu Chengzong agreed with a smile, mentally calculating the speed of Chahar's march south, calculating the time of the Eastern Expedition, and said to Goutu Taiji: "It only takes ten days and a half for Taiji and his escort to cross Gansu and return.
I think it’s better to go back later and follow me to the east to wait for the dust to settle.”
