Chapter 70 Northwest Expedition, the army begins!
Xijishi Factory.
As soon as Wang Zhi walked into Xi Ji Shi Factory, he immediately summoned the three major stalls under his command.
"Ma Jinzhong, you are responsible for selecting a thousand soldiers to set out with the army to march to the west to guard the Hami Guards and supervise the three armies!"
"Yes, Mr. Factory Supervisor!"
Ma Jinzhong, with disheveled hair, eyes with strange pupils, and half a mask on his face, accepted the order with a hoarse voice.
Wang Zhi looked at Qin Lu again: "Qin Lu, you lead a thousand followers, accompanying the household department, to clear the world's fields."
"Yes, Mr. Factory Supervisor."
Qin Lu also accepted the order.
"Jisheng, you will lead a thousand soldiers to inspect the military department's dispatch of grain and fodder. If anyone dares to deduct grain and fodder for corruption, he will be killed on the spot. Behead him first and report later!"
"Yes, Mr. Factory Supervisor!"
Jisheng showed an excited smile, with a fierce light in his eyes.
Under Wang Zhi's order, the three stalls in the West Factory immediately ordered their people to perform their duties.
After more than ten days of intense preparations, the Ministry of War dispatched 300,000 stones of grain and grass, and 130,000 donkeys and horses to Hami Guard.
After the food and grass were sent first, the 130,000 soldiers of the three major battalions in the capital were also ready to go.
Among these 130,000 soldiers, 30,000 trapped camp is the core, and each thousand trapped camp is a regiment, divided into thirty regiments in total.
Each regiment is allocated a total of 1,000 trapped camp, 330 Shenji Battalion, 1,300 Battalion, 2,050 Military Battalion, and 30 West Factory Supervisors.
An organized regiment has 4,360 soldiers.
The purpose of setting out with such a large army is not just to get back a Hami Guard.
What Zhu Youtang wants to capture is the entire Turpan Khanate and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
On the day of the expedition, at three o'clock in the morning, Zhu Youtang was already bathing and changing clothes under the service of the palace maid.
On this day, Zhu Youtang specially wore a bright yellow dragon robe, a golden winged crown, and the emperor's sword.
The dragon robe Zhu Youtang is wearing today is not an ordinary court dress or ordinary dress.
But the crown will only be worn during the enthronement ceremony and when offering sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth.
It is embroidered with twelve five-clawed dragons and twelve coats of arms, divided into sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, fire, etc.
At a quarter of the hour, Zhu Youtang got on the dragon chariot, accompanied by Huaien and Wang Zhi, and then went to the north gate of the capital under the escort of the four guards of Tengxiang.
On the city, all the civil and military officials of the capital stood still with their hands down.
Outside the city, an army of 130,000 people was waiting, a sea of people.
When Zhu Youtang walked up to the city gate, all the civil and military officials waiting on him knelt down to salute.
“Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!”
Zhu Youtang walked to the edge of the city and looked at the battlefield outside the city.
The 130,000-strong army was divided into thirty regiments and waited solemnly.
Zhu Youtang reviewed his army, a surge of pride surged into his heart.
Zhu Youtang said nothing. For a moment, no one inside or outside the entire city wall dared to make a noise.
After waiting for a while, Wynn knelt at Zhu Youtang's feet and reported in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, it's three o'clock in the morning."
Zhu Youtang nodded, glanced at the solemn army of 130,000 soldiers, and then pulled out the emperor's sword.
"Drumming, march!"
The eunuchs of the Bell and Drum Department, who had been waiting for a long time, beat the big red drums one after another.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The sound of drums on the city wall triggered the sound of drums in the 130,000-strong army outside the city.
“Dong! Dong! Dong!”
For a time, drums were beating inside and outside the city!
Under the influence of the drums, General Wujie and Northwest Governor Xuchang drew his sword and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, the entire army is mobilized to support the Hami Guard!"
< br>"The mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty will always be there!" "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty will be there forever!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The sound of trumpets sounded like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and the 130,000-strong army officially launched the Hami Guards!
At the Xichang stall, Ma Jinzhong, who looks like an evil ghost, is also among them.
A thousand Xichang fans under his command ensure that this expedition team will not get out of control.
Jisheng, the third gear head of the West Factory, was also on the expedition.
But two days ago, he followed the grain transport team and took the lead.
Jisheng led a thousand Xichang fans to supervise all the army's grain transport teams along the road.
Earnestly ensure that all food and wages for the expedition will be in the hands of every soldier who goes on the expedition.
Zhu Youtang stood at the city gate and looked at the 130,000 troops. After accepting his review, he set off directly on the northwest expedition.
This journey is full of mountains and rivers, and I’m afraid it won’t be until next year when we return.
At that time, those who can return alive among the 130,000 troops will be invincible and invincible iron-blooded armies!
......
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed since the expeditionary force set off.
The temperature in the capital is getting lower and lower, and the first snow of the first year of Hongzhi may fall at any time.
Hosted by the Ministry of Household Affairs and jointly supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the West Factory, the work of clearing land all over the country has officially begun.
This is a huge inventory work.
Wang Yan, a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, is the main person in charge, Yang Jizong, the censor of Zuoqiandu in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Qin Lu, the third stall leader of the West Factory, are the main supervisory officials. They have 30 Qingzhang teams under their jurisdiction, and they all start at the same time. Work.
Each of these thirty teams includes officials from three departments.
They assist each other and supervise each other to ensure the effectiveness and purity of the land clearing work.
As the chief officer, Wang Yan led this team of hundreds of people out of the capital in a mighty manner.
Subsequently, this huge team was divided into thirty small teams and headed towards their respective destinations.
In the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, every inch of land must be cleared again.
The most difficult bones to crack, such as the northern and southern Zhili, will be personally led by Wang Yan, Yang Jizong, and Qin Lu to clear the abbot.
The first thing to be investigated is Shuntian Mansion in Beizhili.
The work of clearing the father-in-law of Shuntian Prefecture is not easy to say, easy to say but not easy either.
It’s not difficult because the large area of land around Shuntian Mansion is the Imperial Mansion.
Huangzhuang is Zhu Youtang’s own land, and they do not need to inventory any land belonging to Huangzhuang.
It’s not simple but also because the surrounding area of Shuntian Mansion is full of royal relatives.
The two younger brothers of Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu, owned 7,000 acres of land in Shuntian Mansion.
Nearly one thousand acres of the land was occupied by Zhu Youtang Huangzhuang.
To be so bold and arrogant shows how arrogant the relatives of the Ming Dynasty were in Shuntian Mansion.
Wang Yan and his party, a total of fifty-three people, accompanied by Yin Zhanghai and others from Shuntian Prefecture, immediately began to clear out the acres of land in Shuntian Prefecture.
With the help of Fu Yin to organize and coordinate, the initial land clearing went very smoothly.
Ordinary people knew that the Ming Dynasty was re-clearing the land, so they hid timidly in the distance, and their hearts were full of worry.
They don't know whether their burden will increase or decrease after the land is cleared this time.
Although I was worried, I had been resigned to it for a long time, plus there were ten Xichang fanzi with knives guarding the side.
It also made them unable to resist in the slightest.
After all, although the farmers in Shuntian Mansion are not rich, they can at least have enough to eat.
If you can’t starve to death, then why risk your life?
But when the inventory work was carried out in Jinghai, Shuntian Prefecture Yin Zhanghai personally came forward and urgently stopped the work of clearing the land!
