The nobles in the Taida Department were extremely furious with the sudden increase in the number of horse thieves. The grasslands were vast and the large tribes dominated the dominance. It was impossible for each county to be sent to the magistrate like the Ming Dynasty. There were officials, officials, and personnel management and control. Although the Altan Department dominated the grasslands, it was not possible to maintain stability on the grasslands. It mainly relied on the deterrence established over the long period of time and the powerful power of the tribe itself.

But suddenly the caravan was robbed, and the Ming caravan was robbed even more than the caravan of Altan's own, because many of the materials required by Altan's department needed input from the Ming side.

According to the judging of the experienced cavalrymen of Altan who were skilled in tracking, at the beginning, three to five horse thieves should have moved around the business roads and the foothills.

But after the second half of November, there were almost twenty or thirty horse thieves in this area. The caravans from the Ming Dynasty had already decreased significantly. There were so many horse thieves, and everyone was even more cautious in their activities.

Some caravans temporarily stockpiled up their goods. Anyway, the business roads are almost cut off. Everyone knows that the price is soaring. After the horse thief is cleared, they will never lose money. Maybe they will make more money.

If you really want to go out, you will accompany as many caravans as possible. Often, the team of more than a hundred large cars has to go up three hundred guards alone.

There were too many horse thieves gathered together. Because they had contracts with Guihua City, six major stores in Shanxi Province did not dare to delay the delivery time. They gathered more than 400 large cars together. The guards of each family and the military men they could hire were all obtained. Nearly 800 guards came out of the right guards in Datong.

But such a huge team ran for a day, and when it was still one hour before dark, the horse thieves surrounded him, which was extremely awkward.

Although Altan's cavalry was rampant, they had to be somewhat sensible. They often did not move within a day from the Ming side wall, and the Ming cavalry had been timid for so many years and did not dare to come out.

Invisibly, this place is also a land of nonchalant care. The horse thieves took advantage of this loophole. The guards of 800 people were quite a few of the characters of desperate and skilled bowmen.

The horse thieves came, and these people could resist it. However, such a large piece of fat made the horse thieves who had not opened for a long time go crazy. This time, more than a dozen families came and rushed forward.

The caravan was at a disadvantage at the beginning and could only defend passively, and he was very desperate. After half an hour, the caravan's guards became in chaos, and several groups of people suddenly began to kill their companions.

It was already in a stalemate, and the defense line that was barely maintained collapsed immediately and was directly broken by the horse thieves, and the entire caravan immediately collapsed.

There are not many people in Shanxi who dare to follow the customs and transport goods at this time, so they naturally won’t be picky when recruiting, and there are actually people with horse thieves who get into trouble.

The horse thief attacked this time was not like that at the beginning. He did not kill and hurt people's lives when he was in the Ming Dynasty. He had already exasperated his anger in the offense and defense just now, and after rushing in, he naturally killed and vented his anger.

When the Tartar cavalry arrived, they could only see corpses everywhere and lit carriages. The shopkeepers of these big merchants had places to speak in front of Senggedu Gulen. The Tartar cavalry generals did not dare to neglect and hurriedly sent people to pursue them.

Unlike the horse thieves who were able to escape after robbing, they were not so smart today. Many bulk goods that should not be carried were also loaded with carriages, which means they were unable to move fast at all. The Tartar cavalry could easily catch up.

Some people even couldn't bear to leave their goods after seeing the Tartar cavalry coming. The smallest cavalry team of the Tartars was 500 cavalry, so how could these horse thieves be opponents?

The caravan was robbed, and most of the Tartar cavalry teams that attacked the next day chased the target, killed and captured several horse thieves, and recovered a lot of goods.

However, the goods will not be returned to the merchants. This is considered the spoils of Altan's cavalry. After he greed for some of them, he would hand them over to the Khan when he went back.

It was difficult for the horse thieves to survive torture and asked a lot of things, with different sources. Some were Ming bandits from Shaanxi and Xuanfu, Mongolian horse thieves from the east and north, and even cavalry sent by small nearby tribes to fish in troubled waters.

After this extremely effective clearance, the grassland suddenly became much cleaner.

It was already the twelfth lunar month, and Senggedu Gulen Khan of Altan's tribe naturally knew that the 20,000 troops and an imperial guard transferred from Ji Town to Datong Town had already arrived in Datong Town and were stationed near the Datong Right Guard.

Previously, the cavalry was four times on the grassland, and it was normal for the Ming Dynasty to react like this. However, now it is clear that the Ming Dynasty gathers heavy troops so ignorantly, that is a provocation to Altan's tribe. Senggedu Gulen Khan is ready to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty after the clearance is completely over.………

"Mr. Wang, this general is Yang Jin, the deputy general of Jizhen Branch West Road."

"Secretary Yang Jin has met Lord Wang!"

The person who talked to him was a middle-aged man with a burly and thick figure, and he looked square, with a beard, a dark face, and his eyes were always squinting, and he had a calmness in his every move.

On the nine borders, there is often a general, one or two deputy generals. Jizhen is a little different. He does not have the deputy generals of the four routes of east, west, south and north. Yang Jin is one of them.

"Thank you for your hard work in Deputy General Yang. I'm stationed in the camp and the supply of food and supplies is still satisfactory? If you have any needs, just tell me, don't be polite."

The other party bowed and bowed, but Wang Tong did not show any airs. He hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Qi Wu, who had gone to mobilize troops, followed Wang Tong and introduced him.

"The camp has been arranged and the supply of food and grass is sufficient. Xiaguan Daiji Town soldiers thanked Lord Wang for their concern."

Yang Jin glanced at Qi Wu behind Wang Tong, paused and said with a smile:

"To be honest, when Xiaguan came here, he was worried about the camp and food. He thought that Xiaguan would be busy with his own people, but he didn't expect such regulations. He was really amazed."

"If you ask you to help, it's natural that there is no reason to worry about these things. This time, we will bring a total of six battalions and a first battalion of horses?

"Yes, each battalion of the chariot camp is 3,000 people and a cavalry team of two thousand horsemen. I will listen to the instructions of the imperial envoy."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said:

"I must have notified some things in advance. I should have said it on Qi Wu's road. I won't say much. I will ask your troops to station in the camp and wait for my order."

Yang Jin glanced at Wang Tong, then bowed his fists again, which was considered as accepting the order. Wang Tong also bowed slightly, as a gift to return.

After saying a few words, Wang Tong ordered Qi Wu to lead Yang Jin. There were only three of them in the military tent. Noise and chaotic sounds came outside. The soldiers in Ji Town had just arrived and were camping for preparation.

After arriving at the right guard of Datong, Ma Dong, who was temporarily serving Datong General, prepared a good mansion for Wang Tong, but Wang Tong did not live there, but set up a camp tent in the pre-set camp, and everything was in accordance with the wartime regulations.

Once he did this, the generals who guarded the right guard of Datong and Ma Dong were not willing to enjoy the happiness in the houses in the city, and he could only set up camp outside.

Of course, it is inevitable for everyone to curse secretly in their hearts. I think you may think that war is new, but I don’t know that I have worked hard for so many years and are unwilling to suffer this again. However, Wang Tong killed the shopkeeper of the Huang Family Trading Company in the face of the contemporary prince of the prince, and directly removed the prefect from the Datong Prefecture Office. The news has long been here. Whoever dares to touch his power can only complain in his heart.

Qi Wu led his people out here, and someone else wanted to see Wang Tong next, but these people were not as obedient as Yang Jin. He heard the noise of laughter outside the military tent.

The curtain was lifted and a group of people rushed in. Wang Tong had no angry expression on his face, and he smiled, and said:

"How long hasn't been seen now? The tiger's head is tall again!"

"Brother..." "I've met Brother Wang..."

"Have you met the master..." "Have you met the adult..."

The voices were heard, and the deputy generals of the Second Regiment of the First Regiment of the Huwei Army and the generals at all levels walked into the military tent and greeted him with a smile. Naturally, they were Li Hutou, Li Tao, Sun Xin, Tan Bing and others. They were all acquaintances, and the reunion of the old friends was different from the official article just now.

"Everyone, the master is an imperial envoy, and there are sanitation soldiers in the army. Although we are a family, we must make individual arrangements so that others will not be laughed at by others!"

But General Tan, who led them in, spoke in a stern voice. Everyone looked at each other and quickly arranged according to their official identities, bowed together, and said in unison:

"The two regiments of the Huwei Army have a total of 7,800 auxiliary soldiers and brigade teams. They come here and obey the order of the imperial envoy. The lower officials and others have met the imperial envoy!!"

Li Hutou, who was in front, stood up and couldn't help but wink and laugh. The group of people couldn't help laughing. Seeing that Tan Jiang wanted to say something else, Wang Tong shook his head and said:

"It's just that everyone meets. Before the military congress is on the battlefield, it doesn't matter if it's just a little bit. Why don't you see the military supervisor?"

"Cai Jianjun is outside checking the camp and discussing military supplies with the people from the business bank."

While he was talking, the curtain of the tent was lifted, but Cai dragged it in. Wang Tong walked forward with a smile, clasped his fists and said:

"Thank you for your hard work in the military supervisor, but it looks stronger than before."

They spoke casually, and Cai Nan also smiled and bowed, answering:

"Sir, I am working hard. Our family is a little stronger, so I don't have to stay in that carriage in the future."

"Eunuch Cai checked and inspected the military camp every day, and at night he had to check with the military officers and the craftsmen in the craftsmen, and slept very late."

Li Hu interrupted and said, seeing Wang Tong's gaze, Cai Nan quickly smiled and said:

"Why can't you be careful and orderly with your responsibilities? Otherwise, wouldn't you let down the entrusted entrusted by your entrust?"
