Wanli Xinming

Chapter 343 Rename
When Ma Dong led the army through Tangluling, what appeared in front of him was a vast and colorful blanket.

Although this dreamlike and gorgeous basin can also be seen when climbing occasionally when walking in the mountains and valleys, when he actually walks in front of it, Ma Dong is still shocked by its vibrant colors.

Raising the binoculars in front of his chest, Ma Dong could see that the basin in front of him was embraced by the mountains in the far distance, and a large river was flowing quietly in between, and there was another river in the northwest that met with it. In the sunlight, the river branch shimmered with sparkling waves.

On the west side of the river, some yellow and white tents are dotted, echoing with the snow-capped mountains in the distance, making this place more holy and beautiful.

"Garidi!" Fan Guangchun, the deputy commander-in-chief standing next to Ma Dong, shouted, and the Prince of Anshun, who was rushing in front of Ma Dong, turned his horse's head and ran towards Ma Dong.

"where is this place?"

Garidi spoke a lot in Mongolian, and followed the military translator to translate: "Commander, this is the pasture of the Oirat Department, and the big river in the distance should be the Huakemu River." After speaking, he pointed to the east: "Garidi said that after three days of horseback riding to the east, you will see Husun ​​Gu'er Park."

Ma Dong nodded and said to a Jinyiwei next to him, "Bring out the map." When the Jinyiwei took out the map, Wang Dong pointed to the map and asked him, "Where have we been?"

The Jinyi Baihu glanced at Jinyiwei who had been nodding beside him, pointed to a red circle on the map and replied, "We should already be in Tuba by now." Jinyiwei who was nodding on the side also said yes.

Hearing this, Ma Dong grinned and said, "Hey, this year's task has been completed. Today is the last day of July, we have to build the fort before it snows, otherwise it will be difficult to spend the winter. ."

Fan Guangchun sighed and said, "Master, in the past four months, five thousand miles have finally come over."

Ma Dong nodded with a wry smile and said, "Yeah, although it's a bit tired, it's much better than when my father Wang conquered Luntai. When his old man traveled from east to west for more than [-] miles, he fought almost every day. The food supply is not guaranteed at all, and the soldiers are hungry and full - our journey has been very peaceful."

He mentioned his father, Ma Fang, how could the surrounding officers not make fun of him.Fan Guangchun hurriedly said: "It was really not easy for the old man at that time. But the tiger father has no dog son, and the Hou father and his son have succeeded in subduing this barbarian, and there are no eyesores along the way."

After hearing this, Ma Dong changed the subject and said, "Only the logistics of the Western Route Army, the court has prepared for the whole two years after the Saihanba Conference. Now that we have finally arrived in Tuva, I dare to breathe a sigh of relief."

After he finished speaking, he took the water bottle from the side of the personal soldiers, poured it down from the top of his head, wiped his face and said to the brocade-clothed guards: "Have you informed Zaktu of the Oirat department before? Why didn't they come to greet us? "

The Jinyiwei Baihu bowed his head and replied: "Reporting to the commander, we have sent a team of six people with the commander's arrows to Zaktu's tent. If it goes well, they can come along with the messengers in the past two days— - But the timing is really not right."

After hearing this, Ma Dong glanced around and said with a sneer: "I'm worried about the food on the way, I'm afraid that someone who doesn't open my eyes will come to disturb us. I didn't expect that it's all unfounded worries, it seems that this benefit is going to come from Tuba's gone."

The deputy commander-in-chief Fan Guangchun's face was tanned, black and red, and he was rubbing the dead skin there.Hearing what Ma Dong said, he smiled and said, "The children have been very hard on this journey. It's better that the Oirat department should not open their eyes. Garidi, don't you think?"

Garidi couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Zachtu's dog is a son of Oara, and he fought with us Khalkha for many years! If he dares to disrespect the handsome, I will be the first to rush to tear him up!" There was a lot of chatter, and the interpreter tried his best to translate it according to his tone.

Ma Dong listened to his pledge of loyalty and gave him some encouragement with a smile.Then he stretched his waist on the horse's back, moved his neck, turned his head and said to Fan Guangchun:
"Let's give Zaktu three more days - Brother Renguan, guess how much money we spent on the court along the way."

Fan Guangchun was the deputy commander in charge of reconnaissance and operations, and did not know the logistics details.When Ma Dong asked, he shook his head and said he didn't know.

Ma Dong sighed and said, "Not counting the salaries of the officers and soldiers, I did some calculations. The people along the way have spent almost 70 taels of silver on horses. One person is about 100 taels, and the whole army spends 6000 taels a day."

The officer standing beside Ma Dong was speechless.Fan Guangchun exclaimed: "So many? The so-called teacher of [-] goes out for thousands of miles, but it costs a lot of money per day."

Ma Dong took the tin and iron kettle in his hand and said, "When did the kettle change its hair? You should actually feel it, but it's just that you didn't calculate how much money it would cost. The camels and horses that followed us were just It's close to [-], and before entering the mountain, there is a military station about [-] or [-] miles away, so how much does it cost?"

After he finished speaking, the whip pointed to the back and smiled: "The Governor Fang has considered it thoroughly, the tents for the winter and the winter clothing of the soldiers are well prepared. Although the road is barren, it did not let us march on an empty stomach. Five Marching thousands of miles without going hungry—is there more money for this?"

Ma Dong's person, although the original time and space is an official to the governor, but he likes to read, and is not his director of combat.Although this time and space followed Ma Fang’s westward expedition, and had also fought with Ye Erqiang and won battles, but at that time the new army had already succeeded, and the battles were all crushing.Compared with his father, it is like a firefly compared to a bright moon.

But Ma Dong also has advantages. His command and fighting style is different from Ma Fangyong's style of play. This guy is very stable and has a lot of experience in logistics.He knew very well that Da Ming's strategy of Luo Wilderness did not require a siege of the city, as long as it was steady and steady to protect the food supply, with the current fighting strength of the Ming army, it was almost invincible.

Therefore, along the way, he guarded the food behind his house. After all, when he followed Ma Fang, he was also in charge of logistics.Although Gao Jue is now in the throne, he has not dared to slap sloppy eyes under his nose when it comes to the sects in the military station and the military supplies.Therefore, there were no surprises and no dangers along the way, and successfully marched to Tuba.

Sprinkling Yebushou out to investigate, after Ma Dong arranged for people to set up camp, he took the headquarters to investigate around, looking for the location to build the castle.Fan Guangchun followed him for two days, and finally couldn't help asking curiously: "Marshal, why did the imperial court build a city here? We will go to the Sayan Mountains in the spring of next year. This place is more than 2000 miles away from Luntai. No one is coming to live."

Ma Dong frowned and said: "I also said this to Governor Fang. Governor Fang said that although we are going to build a city, there are no bricks or stones here. It would be good to build a fort with wood loess-"

After a while, he said, "Governor Fang also said that this is what the emperor meant."

Seeing Fan Guangchun's puzzlement, Ma Dong scratched his head and said, "Listening to Governor Fang's decree of the emperor, a Dingbian General's Mansion will be built in this place in the past few years, and this Tuba will also be renamed."

Fan Guangchun glanced at the vast basin in front of him on horseback and asked, "What's the name changed?"

"Tangnu Wulianghai!"

　This is the land that Chinese people dream about.
