Zhao Gui and Chang accompanied the same car. Apart from the lack of luxurious decorations, the body size is similar to the one in front.

At this time, the proprietors could not save money. They could ride horses and follow them, but they still had to hire a lot of horses. They also had to take care of the horses carefully along the way. If the horses were tired and sick, it would be even more troublesome.

It’s better to hire a car. There is a repair and supply point every thirty miles away. You don’t change your car and horses. There are horses in the car shop. They usually eat well and pull the carts in turn. The carriages that the group of Yongping people ride are all four-wheeled passenger trucks. People ride in the train. If a car is crowded, they can take about ten and carry a lot of luggage and cargo in the back.

Each car uses four or six horses, and can run very quickly on well-maintained roads, not much slower than riding a horse.

And you don’t have to endure the wind and cold in the cold wind. Sitting in the warm carriage and watching the scene outside the car is a very novel experience for many people.

This is even more so for Zhao Gui.

A few months ago, he was considering this meal to be made of wild vegetables and millet, or sorghum paste. If he added two spoonfuls of sorghum paste, would he lose food in the next meal?

Or they are thinking about when wild vegetables can be picked, should they be boiled again in the past few days, and they can’t find people to fight the famine. Everyone is hungry, and every day there will be corpses carried out from the Guanzhuang.

Unexpectedly, in a short time, he is now sitting in a spacious, bright and warm cart, looking at the endless snow scene outside the window...

There were food bags in the corner around me, full of meat buns and boiled eggs.

After a while, bake it in the small stove in the car, it is a very good food.

All Changsui leaned half on the car, chatting comfortably and comfortably. Everyone got money and could have a good New Year when they went back, and they were in a very happy mood.

At this moment, Zhao Gui suddenly hated the place he was about to go back, even if he no longer had to endure hunger.

"Look, it's Lord Zhang."

Someone noticed the wonders and pointed out the window and shouted.

Zhao Gui also rushed to the window and looked out with everyone.

In the endless snow, large areas of red-robed cavalry surrounded Zhang Han and galloped from north to south from Qingcheng. Over a thousand cavalrymen galloped on the grass and flew up the large area of ​​snow. People and horses were galloping in the snow fog. The red robes appeared and disappeared in the white fog-like snow scene. This was a strange scene and an extremely beautiful pattern.

People don’t know why Zhang Han still went out at this time, nor do they know why he was a large group of cavalry accompanying him. Unlike Zhang Han who had all had civil and military generals when he went out before, this time it was a direct display of force.

Soon more cavalry appeared, with large groups of silver-white lancers. Their war horses were equipped with armor, and their bodies were silver-white, just like a god descending to earth, majestic.

The blue-white color is the dragon cavalry, and their armor, scales or breastplate are also polished into silver-white. The difference is that their military caps are blue felt hats, which are obviously different from the red military caps of the hunters and the black military caps of the lances.

Red, blue, silver, and a large number of colors gathered together. In a short time, a strange scene appeared on the grassland. The original whiteness was filled with a large number of strange colors. The war horses soared, the soldiers cheered, and tens of thousands of cavalry gathered together. It was simply the best combination of strength and beauty.

"What are you doing?" Chang Sui, who came from Yongping Mansion, was stunned.

Zhao Gui didn't know either, and then subconsciously shook his head, and a few drops of saliva dripped from his mouth.

There was a character who was asking for money, and Hutchison didn't hide anything. He said in a treasure-giving manner: "I heard that I would go to the Takong Army to use troops after the New Year, so Lord Zhang was gathering his troops and came here before the New Year. After the New Year, there are estimated that 100,000 cavalrymen will be placed in the Takong Army and we will recover the Hetao of our Han family."

The Hetao area has always been owned by the Han family, but it was only in the hands of the Mongolians in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. This is the most popular part of Hutchison's external publicity in recent times. Sure enough, even Changsui, who came from Yongping Prefecture, said it very well.

"Look at these cavalrymen in Hutchison..." Another Changsui was almost fascinated by such a scene.

"It's really not a little bit stronger than the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty." Unlike Zhao Gui, who was in his heart, he thought so but did not dare to say that. He had no fear for others. There was no chance of having Jinyiwei here. He said whatever he wanted.

This is true. Looking at the galloping horses in front of you, the waving flags are really strong. And judging from the scene of the array, it is also called well-trained and quite well-educated.

I remembered those soldiers wearing tattered robes, carrying poles and guns, pale and thin and weak face, and walking in a mess. They said they were going to rescue Liaodong and fight with the Jurchens.

When I think about it, Zhao Gui and the people in Yongping Mansion want to laugh.

Perhaps the generals' Needle was still looking like a soldier, and they were all cavalry and very well-educated, but they did not have such an orderly queue. The spirit of cheering together under the military flag was more of a bit of hostility.

Moreover, their weapons, war horses, and armor were several levels worse than those of the Hutchison Merchants Army.

Too far from it...

"It's a condom." Someone sighed: "Hetao has been occupied for more than a hundred years. If it can be taken back, Lord Zhang of Hutchison will be the number one hero in the world."

"When King Yue said he wanted to go directly to Huanglong Mansion, but he didn't accomplish this. Lord Zhang took back Qingcheng directly, and King Shunyi was also staying in Qingcheng honestly, just a decoration. After all, Lord Zhang took back a lot of old land in the Han and Tang dynasties, and did not cause any trouble for the Ming Dynasty. I think that even King Yue was not as good as Lord Zhang's achievements back then..."

"It's worse than that, but King Yue is King Yue after all, and that loyalty and righteousness are rare."

"Mr. Zhang is also loyal and righteous. Look at him, his troops are strong, and he doesn't have any inappropriate thoughts with the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"That's true. If it were someone else, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty would really be in trouble. There were already Donglu in the east. If there was any trouble on the grassland, the Ming Dynasty would be afraid that it would not be able to withstand it."

"It's not so. In this way, Daming was still wary of Huji. Huji's goods were not allowed to go straight into Shanhaiguan, and they had to bring them secretly like smuggling."

"There are villains in the court officials, and I want to squeeze Lord Zhang to give them gifts and pay tribute."

"I think it's 80%."

"After all the talk, it would be great if Lord Zhang could beat the Eastern Barbarians like he did."

One person finally said something, and others all looked like they agreed, and Zhao Gui even wanted to jump up and applaud.

Really, when Zhao Gui saw this situation in front of him, he was a little anxious.

If such troops were placed in Liaodong, could the Jurchens be so crazy?

I heard that Lord Zhang has 100,000 people under his command!

One hundred thousand iron cavalry, this is really one hundred thousand iron cavalry, not the useless guise of those new recruits in Liao Town who are pretending to be.

Zhao Gui invaded the western Liaoning and had seen many camp soldiers in western Liaoning. He knew that those camp soldiers were really useless. He had never seen bloody new recruits, nor did he have strict military discipline and training. The generals were perfunctory. Can such soldiers fight a bird's battle?

Compared to fighting hard and seeing blood, these battalions and soldiers were not as good as the packaging of the Jurchens, so they were so equipped that they were well equipped. The shelves were still good.

Zhao Gui had fought many battles in front of him, and he had to go into battle. He had seen blood and mountain dead people. He also ran out of the battlefield of Sarhu, and had also experienced the Liaoyang battle. He had seen Yuan Yingtai leading 30,000 people to fight the Jurchens outside the city.

Zhao Gui knew what a good soldier is, what kind of goods are, and what kind of soldiers can fight, just one glance at him.

Simply put, these soldiers in front of you are the tiger and wolf men.

"I hope I can quickly build the Hetao." Zhao Gui, who had not spoken for a long time, said tremblingly, and he said, "I'll kill the Jurchens immediately!"

"Yes, if that's the case, I'll set up a tablet of immortality for Lord Zhang. My uncle's family is from Liaoyang, and they all died in Liaodong!"

"I hope, I hope." Zhao Gui still trembled. Fortunately, everyone was as excited as him and did not notice anything unusual.

More cavalry are still gathering, forming a wonder between heaven and earth, which also makes everyone who sees it feel extremely excited.

On the grassland and on the territory of the Mongolians, there are also such tiger men and such mighty men. This makes people feel excited and almost uncontrollable.

...

The scene Zhang Han had done today was not intentional, it was just a coincidence.

After returning to the city, Zhang Han rested for two days and almost ignored him.

Except for a few particularly important events that alarmed him, all other things were left to the political affairs meeting to handle. For general government affairs, Sun Jingting and Li Shenming can be the masters of the country, and they will also record and archive them afterwards and check them for Zhang Han at will.

Zhang Han stayed with his wife and children for two days, rested by himself, recovered and conditioned his health. He originally planned to rest until the New Year, but his identity was really plagued by official business, and if he wanted to relax, it would be too expensive.

The two battalions of the hunting cavalry were already in place, and the soldiers were eager to accept Zhang Han's inspection.

This is not an unreasonable request. The Military Office plans to use troops in the first month after the Chinese New Year.

It is snow everywhere in the cold winter, and it is very difficult for the army to march. For Zhang Han, he never wants to walk in the snow again. But difficulties represent opportunities. In winter, all the troops gather together to spend the winter, watching and helping each other. There is a vast snow field everywhere, and there is nowhere to escape.

Taking action in this extreme climate is a great challenge to the merchant army, and it is also a great challenge to the Mongols in Taomen and Ordos.

This time it was a battle of reunions, which was of great symbolism. In addition to gathering heavy troops, Zhang Han also took charge of the command personally.

After sending troops, the commander will come to the barracks, be familiar with the officers and all the soldiers, and increase their familiarity with each other, so that when commanding and dispatching on the battlefield, the soldiers will not be ignorant of generals or generals will not know the soldiers.

In fact, there is no way to know each other much in a short period of time, that is, to erect the authority of the Supreme Commander.

In the past, the merchant regiment army might mobilize soldiers from several regiments and battalions when they went to war. The appointed commander must be familiar with the soldiers and determine the command authority temporarily to avoid accidents on the battlefield.

This time the mobilization range was wider and more troops were dispatched, but Zhang Han actually didn't have to worry about command matters. His authority was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and no one would dare to question his decision and command.
