"Zhang Dake, Wang Kun, Ma Fuxiang" Xuanfu school grounds were crowded with people, and the voices of volunteer soldiers calling their names kept coming and going.

"Ji Town City Wall, Xuanfu School Field, and Datong Lady" were called "Nine Sides and Three Wonders" by people at that time.

Although Zhang Shun had never seen the "Ji Town Wall" and the "Great Tong Wife", this "Xuanfu School Ground" really lived up to its reputation.

It turned out that Xuanfu Town, as an important town on the nine borders, was located to the west of the capital, and it was the front line of the Ming Dynasty against the Mongolian wings of Chahar and Tumed, so the annual military parade was held in Xuanfu.

It is said that the area of ​​the Xuanfu school is six times that of the Beijing Normal University, and it can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people at one time to receive readings at the same time.

During the Jingtai period, when Yang Hong, Marquis of Changping, guarded Xuanfu, the imperial army was extremely strict. "The cavalry were good at galloping and shooting, and the infantry were good at bows and crossbows."

In the years of Longqing and Wanli, when Wang Chonggu and Fang Feng were governors of Xuanda at that time, they also "respected the beacon fire, scouted from afar, armored soldiers, and practiced diligently", which can be said to be strong and well-equipped.

The field is named after people, so it is listed among the "Three Wonders of the Nine Sides"!
Now Zhang Shungao is sitting on the general platform, looking at the empty Xuanfu school ground below, and he has mixed feelings in his heart: "Is this the world-renowned Xuanfu school ground?"

"Exactly, Your Highness! This is the school of Xuanfu, known as one of the 'Three Wonders of the Nine Sides'." Zhang Weishi couldn't help but answer after hearing the words.

"The great talent Xu Wenchang once wrote a poem about this: Xuanfu's teaching ground is heard all over the world, and all the peaks and mountains reach into the clouds. You don't need bows and knives to fight against tigers, but you are born with swords and halberds to embrace generals."

As soon as Zhang Weishi said this, Song Xiance couldn't help but smiled wryly, and thought: Why can't you understand the good words, it's no wonder you can still be such a high-ranking official.

Sure enough, when Zhang Weishi said this, Zhang Shun was displeased: "You don't need bows and knives to fight against tigers, but you are born with swords and halberds to support generals? The opinion of sour literati!"

"This king also has a poem today, please appreciate it!"

"Ah? Chenchen listens all the time!" Zhang Weishi heard Zhang Shun's words, how could he not know that this time he would make a mistake and annoy this person.

"The Xuanfu school grounds are heard all over the world, and the bright light and iron armor shine into the clouds; there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the tiger's camp, who dare to teach Khan how to dance the front door!" As soon as Zhang Shun's poem came out, everyone immediately focused on Zhang Weishi.

That Zhang Weishi was ready to brag, but he never expected Zhang Shun to have such a skill.

He couldn't help being a little stunned, and quickly shouted: "What a 'dare to teach Khan to dance the front door', the veteran heard it, and felt his heart was surging and his blood was boiling. It is better to die in battle than to be old on the bed!"

Although Zhang Weishi is not a master of literature, he is also a Jinshi. After his own verification, he naturally has no objection.

However, Zhang Shun shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "When it's cold, you need to dress; when you're hungry, you need to eat; when the country is in trouble, and the people are in trouble, it's natural to prepare your troops for war!"

"Although the truth is small, women and children know it, but there are still people who can't stop their greed and deceive the superior and the inferior. As a result, the soldiers are defeated and die. How sad it is for the world to laugh?"

"Although the Xuanfu school grounds are large, what's the difference if it's just an empty place?"

"Due to the prosperity of the armor in the past, it is more powerful than the Nine Sides!"

"Today, the soldiers in the whole town are less than [-]. If you can't control the enemy when you advance, and you can't stop the captives when you retreat, don't you feel sorry for your husband!"...

Zhang Shun didn't mention Zhang Weishi, Li Guoliang and the guerrilla generals of the Fifth Battalion, but he mentioned them again.

The seven people were sweating profusely when they heard the words, and knelt down to beg for mercy, calling it a "capital crime".

"Get up, the accumulated evils of the previous dynasty cannot be achieved by one person in one day!" Zhang Shun shook his head and concluded.

"Today, the king's earnest words are just to learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones, and to cure diseases and save people."

"Soldiers are the weapons of death, the place of death and life, and the way of survival. One more pawn, one more chance of winning; one more maneuver, one more chance of winning. Therefore, soldiers are pragmatic, and practice is not true, and only on the battlefield can they make contributions. Live life!"

"If not, wouldn't you be deceiving yourself and others, and committing suicide?"

At this point, Zhang Weishi, Li Guoliang and others realized that Zhang Shun didn't want to take the opportunity to get rid of himself and others, but persuaded himself to verify the soldiers and horses, to practice hard, and fearful, they couldn't help crying with gratitude and bowed down one after another.

"Report, after verification, the bidding report claimed [-] people, but there were actually [-] people, and there was a shortage of [-] people; the Bingji Battalion reported [-] people, but there were actually [-] people; The camp in the east of the city was reported to have [-] people, but it was actually [-]; the camp in the south of the city was reported to have [-] people, but it was actually [-]; In fact, there were [-] people; the northern camp reported [-] people, but it was actually [-] people. The old and weak were eliminated, and there were [-] people. Four hundred and fifty-eight people." At this moment, Lu Xiangjin, who was ordered to count the number of people, couldn't help reporting on Qianhui.

As soon as he said these words, the people who were supposed to be in harmony with each other, looked at each other in blank dismay.

"There are [-] horse mules that were made, but there are actually [-] horse mules, and there is a shortage of [-] horse mules." Lu Xiangjin didn't know what they were thinking, so he couldn't help but continue to report.

"It was found that the city guards on all sides had [-] cannons of the size of Yongzhu and other gunpowders of Hongyi, Western and Western, and [-] catties of gunpowder; Sixty-one thousand nine hundred and seventeen catties of gunpowder; Fubiao has two hundred and fifteen cannons for destroying captives and pearls, and twelve thousand and two catties of gunpowder. There are also four thousand and thirteen guns such as the three-eyed bird blunderbuss, There are more than [-] pairs of armor and arms, more than [-] tanks for ten thousand enemies, and countless lead."

"Oh? Then let's do it like this. We will compile it into a book first, so that we can retrieve it!" To be honest, Zhang Shun felt a little disappointed when he heard Lu Xiangjin's report.

Xuanfu Town is an important town in the north, and the number of soldiers and guards in the city should be about half to one third of the whole town.

As a result, the city of Xuanfu looked like this, presumably the situation in other roads, guards, and castles was not much better.

Then it's no wonder that Bao'an, Yanqing and other places were attacked by Houjin and soon fell.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but frowned, and immediately ordered: "Where is Li Guo? This king ordered you to lead your troops south to Weizhou immediately."

"If the general on the South Road surrenders, he will be a marquis; if he does not surrender, you can take it himself. First, troops are stationed at Shenjingbao, then along the east city of Shengchuan, Weizhou, and finally at the west city of Shengchuan. Be sure to protect Xuan The right wing of Daliang Town is safe, nothing will be lost!"

"The last general takes orders!" Li Guo looked at Zhang Shun with complex eyes, then at his uncle Li Zicheng, and couldn't help bowing deeply.

All of you here are smart people, of course they know what Zhang Shun means by "you can take it yourself".

However, Zhang Shun didn't say anything on the spot, mainly because he was worried that Li Guo would deliberately attack the general guarding Xuanfu South Road for this purpose, which would ruin the event.

It turns out that this branch of Shunshengwei Guangshen General, who guards Xuanfu South Road, has jurisdiction over Shunshengchuan West City, Shunshengchuan East City, Weizhou City, Guangchang City, Shenjing Fort, Heishiling Fort, Peach Blossom Fort and Hutuodian Fort. fort.

Most of them are located along the Shunshengchuan, the later Sanggan River.

The Sanggan River and the Yang River just converged in Baoan Prefecture, and then they were renamed Yongding River. They flowed through Wanping County, south of the capital, and entered the sea through Dagu, Tianjin. Therefore, these two river valleys have always been the main traffic routes for northern nomads to invade Hebei. .

Now that Bao'an has fallen, although the Yanghe River Valley is blocked by the Xuanfu City occupied by the rebels, the Sanggan River Valley is still unimpeded.

Once the Xuanfu South Road is lost, the Houjin soldiers can go upstream and besiege Datong, Yingzhou, Shuozhou and other places. The rebels who have already occupied Xuanfu City lose their geographical advantage.

Li Zicheng did feel a little uncomfortable when he heard the words, but considering that he and Fatty Zhang had just captured the Wanquan Youwei and Zhangjiakou Forts, and they were exhausted, Li Guoying was in better condition than Li Guoying, so he had to give up.
