golden scales

Ge Erdan practiced Samana method under the chairman's seat, but he has always been interested in military affairs, and often plays with guns and sticks. ?. .If the Ming army invited him to watch the military parade, he would definitely be very excited.But if you invite him to watch the game, he doesn't know what to do.When the ball game was about to start, Gerdan had already yawned boredly.At noon, when the opening whistle sounded, this teenager was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost bouncing up.

Is this scene really playing ball?

I saw two teams of men and horses lined up, the south team wore blue rattan armor, and the north team wore earth-colored rattan armor. Standing in the first row were all tall and strong military men, waiting for the whistle to blow. There was a loud noise, both of them rushed forward, and collided with each other, as if they wanted to kill each other.

In the center of the field, between the two teams, stood a jujube pit standing alone, and it was unknown what it could be used for.

Ge Erdan just watched these people colliding and stared blankly, completely forgetting to ask.But in a blink of an eye, the moment the strong men collided, the people who were originally in the second row also rushed up.But they didn't want to bump into each other and beat each other, but they went towards the date stone.

"I got it! It's our army!" Xiao Mo jumped up suddenly and shouted.There was also a lot of shouts in the south stands, and the soldiers of the First Guards Army who stood up in unison were like waves, churning endlessly.Gerdan was just distracted, the situation on the court had changed.The jujube core ball was snatched by the Qingjia fighters, and nearby opponents rushed towards him one after another.A strong man in earth-colored rattan armor jumped up from five steps away, and rushed towards him like a tiger preying on him.Unexpectedly, the strong man behind him who had been wrestling with each other reacted extremely quickly, and even in time grabbed the belt of the earth-colored rattan armor, rushed forward and pinned him to the ground.

—Is it a fight or a ball game!So exciting!

Gerdan saw that his little face was flushed, and his forehead was slightly sweating.

"Pass the ball! Pass the ball!" Xiao Mo put his arms around his mouth.shouted.

I don't know if they heard it on the field, the Qingjia fighter who grabbed the ball ran forward for another three or five steps, and was about to be overtaken by the opponent behind him. own teammates.

The runners who were originally standing in the third row were already ready to catch the ball.After catching the ball, he ran away.It really deserves the title of runner.Passing through the opponent's gap, a cyan figure was pulled out.

"Stop! Stop!" Dang Shousu also stood up and shouted loudly.

The north stands roared.They all let out shouts unique to Long Province.

Finally, a runner among the earth-colored armored soldiers rushed forward in a slant, leaped forward, and bumped his shoulder against the green armored runner.Both of them ran extremely fast, and after colliding, they rolled four or five steps away on the ground.This time the Qingjia runner wanted to stand up and run again, but it was too late.Four or five long soldiers in earth-colored armor have already jumped up.One by one, they rushed at the Qingjia runner who was standing up staggeringly, and crushed him under him.

The whistle sounded, and the first attack was over.

"Won't you kill people by playing ball like this?" Turubaihu was also dumbfounded.The Mongols also enjoyed horse racing and wrestling in their spare time. They thought they were quite bloody, but they never expected that the Han people would play even wilder and more frighteningly.

"It's a martyr." Dang Shousu watched the second scrimmage with a binoculars.

Only the first tee shot in regular play needs to be contested.Then it is to see if the offense is effective and to determine which side has the right to serve.However, what the army plays is the "bloody battle" mode, and every ball must be fought.And regardless of the boundaries between front and back, where the ground falls is the point of scrimmage.

In this way, the competition and confrontation of the game are greatly enhanced.The audience is also very exciting.However, the earliest rules were formulated by the Son of Heaven, so this "bloody battle" mode did not form a written rule, it could only be regarded as "just play".

Turubaihu looked at the players colliding together again on the field, and it is not surprising that the Ming army defeated Khalkha in his heart.

"Here, you use mine." Xiao Mo handed his binoculars to Ge Erdan who was eager to see.

Ge Erdan is the son of the tribal leader after all, except for the master who can order him arrogantly, who else can talk to him in this tone.Knowing that this general of the Ming army had good intentions, Galdan still slapped his neck: "I have very good eyesight, so I don't need this."

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Just take a look." Then he sent the binoculars to Galdan's door.

Galdan was still young after all, and he couldn't screw Xiao Mo, so he had to put the binoculars in front of his eyes, and he was startled all of a sudden.

The entire stadium is pulled in front of you!

——What kind of baby is this!

Gerdan held the binoculars and knew that the focus of the competition between the two sides was the jujube core ball.There will always be fierce battles around that jujube core.He was addicted to watching, when suddenly he lightened his hand, only to see that the binoculars had been snatched back by Xiao Mo.

"General, let me take another look." Ge Erdan grabbed Xiao Mo's muscular arm, put away his small canine teeth, and instinctively acted like a weak cat.He also knew that playing tricks with this Ming general would not end well.

"Your eyesight is so good, you don't need this." Xiao Mo said perfunctorily, holding the binoculars in one hand, and slapping the railing with the other, he shouted loudly: "Huhuhu!"

There was also the sound of tigers in the stands, and some people stomped their feet to cheer.

Fortunately, this is a rammed earth stand. If the stand was built with wooden frames, it would probably collapse.

Tulu Baihu also understood that the cyan rattan armor is General Xiao Moxiao's troops, and the earth-colored rattan armor is General Dang's troops.He suddenly had an idea and came up with a bold idea. After another round of offensive frenzy ended, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "It seems that the situation on the side of the earth-colored rattan armor is not good, and it has been suppressed and beaten."

"Haha, Liu Lao Si didn't end today, otherwise he would have really suppressed and beat him." Xiao Mo laughed loudly.

"We Guanzhong men are full of toughness. Look at it, even if Liu Laosi is gone." Dang Shousu refused to show weakness in the slightest.Before Gansu was established as a province, it belonged to the Chief Envoy of Shaanxi, so Dang Shousu used to call Long Bing and Qin Bing mixed up.Only when there is a need to distinguish between establishments do we not dare to talk nonsense.

Otherwise, the Qin army would have two first armies.

Seeing that the provocation was unsuccessful, Tulu Baihu asked again: "Then who is Liu Laosi? Why can't he end?"

"Liu Si, the commander of the Second Division of our army." Xiao Mo said, "He's about to judge a major general recently, so it's better to do less."

"Can he be judged?" Dang Shousu asked.

"Ten out of ten." Xiao Mo said: "In the future, Daming will have one more strong player, but there will be one less strong player on the court."

At the level of the general.Then you can be called "Your Excellency", a high-ranking official in the same department.Whether it is for fair competition or the general's own safety, the Metropolitan Government prohibits the general from playing with officers and soldiers on the same field.

"In the future, we generals will be divided into two teams, so we can still fight." Dang Shousu thought suddenly.

Xiao Mo actually counted the heads seriously.Said: "Now it seems that there are not enough people for the two teams. There are not many players in the southwest. Haha. If there is a general match, our old battalion will still be the best, Liu Laosi and Wang Yi. Everyone is ours."

"When the fight is over..." Dang Shousu suddenly realized that Turubaihu was by his side, and quickly changed his words: "After the fight against the Turks, a few more generals will be enough."

Turubaihu was shocked: "Turk?"

Many Ming people mistakenly thought that the Turks disappeared after being beaten away by the Tang people, but it was not the case.Although the grassland peoples such as the Huns, Turks, and Khitans were driven out of the prairie.Headed west, but didn't die out because of it.Even though they were severely beaten, they still brought great troubles to European civilization.

From this point of view, the Huaxia Han people are like irresponsible children who throw toys around and end up hitting flowers and plants.Now the Turks as a main nation no longer exist, only a group of them ruled in Central Asia and Europe.And then Turkized nation.

Ottomans and Kazakhstan are very Turkic countries. Among them, Ottomans are considered to be descendants of Turkic people, and Kazakhstan has a Turkic holy city.

Dang Shousu didn't dare to be perfunctory this time, and said seriously: "Since the Holy Majesty ascended to the throne, he wants to restore the land of the Tang Dynasty. We and other warriors should share the worries of the king and father. The holy emperor regards Huayi as his own. There is no need to seal the borders with land."

It was only then that Tulubaihu realized that Emperor Daming's ambition had not been hidden for a long time. Before, he only thought that Daming was eyeing a tiger, but now he realized that even the claws and teeth of this tiger have been sharpened, and they are just waiting to pounce on their prey.

"Goal!" Xiao Mo yelled suddenly, interrupting the serious meeting between Dang Shousu and Tulu Baihu.

Sure enough, there was jubilation on the court, whether it was the guards who scored the goal or the Long army who conceded the goal, they all shouted.

Ge Erdan originally wanted to hear Tulu Baihu and Dang Shousu discuss the general situation of the world, but he was also attracted by this goal, and shouted along.Anyway, in this situation, no one knows what the people around them are yelling, so they can just vent to their heart's content.

"General Xiao, can I play ball?" Ge Erdan grabbed Xiao Mo's arm and asked loudly.

Xiao Mo laughed, pointed at Dang Shousu and said, "You should ask him, he is the landlord here, he must have a solution."

Galdan looked expectantly at Dang Shousu.

Dang Shousu smiled and said, "Where can you find someone to play with you in Jiayuguan? When you go another way, you will arrive in Wuwei or Lanzhou, where there are jujube core teams in the army primary school."

"Longjun Elementary School?" Tulubaihu could understand these four Chinese characters, but he had no clue when they were connected together.

"They are all children of the same age as Er Dan, because they are too young to join the army, so they study at the local level first." Xiao Mo said: "Although they are young, they are also the seeds of my Ming Hu Ben! Haha."

Gerdan heard that there was a Tiger Seed who could play with him, so he looked forward to it even more, wishing he could fly to Lanzhou tomorrow.

Turubaihu was not as relaxed as Galdan.Daming not only has a powerful army, but also has more seeds.No matter what, the news made him feel a little powerless.

Thinking about Qinghai-Tibet, dispatching [-] to [-] soldiers is already a battle to destroy the country, but Ming Dynasty only deployed [-] elite soldiers in the northwest. I heard that they are still fighting in the south and east, and they also have more than [-] troops. How huge is this?

"I just don't know how to make meritorious service for the Holy Son of Heaven." Tulu Baihu asked tentatively.

"It's very simple to make meritorious deeds." Xiao Mo turned to Tulubaihu: "Gushi Khan accepted the canonization, paid the national tax, and obeyed the conscripts. Passed Kazakhstan and returned with a great victory. If you write down this battle in detail and present it to the Holy Majesty, and contribute to the Holy Majesty's crusade against the Turks, this is another credit."

Turubaihu suddenly remembered the past when he went to Kazakhstan with Batur, and remembered the fat pastures in the Seven Rivers Basin.He remembered the woodland and grassland at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountain, and blurted out: "If the Holy Son of Heaven captures Kazakhstan, can you return the northern foothill of the Tianshan Mountain to my Heshuote Department?"

He glanced at the ignorant Galdan, and said, "Anyway, the Junggar tribe can own the land of the Seven Rivers."

"Under the whole world, is it the king's land?" Xiao Mo reminded: "We only need to make meritorious deeds, and the rain, dew, thunder, and thunder will all come from above. It is not our courtiers' beak to say how to bestow rewards."

Turubaihu was full of thoughts and pretended to cast his eyes on the court.

……

What happened in the northwest was like the wind, and it spread to the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Khalkha Mongolia completely surrendered, which brought an end to the 200-year border troubles of the Ming Dynasty.The civilian officials rejoiced and presented their congratulatory badges one after another, while the military officials were under great pressure and were troubled by the arrangement of the border guards.

From the Great Wall to the Arctic Sea, in theory, this is all the territory of Ming Dynasty.If the border guards are sent, I am afraid that there will be no obstacles to advance all the way to the North Pole, but how to ensure logistics for such a long distance?The local area is uninhabited wilderness, and it is not even possible to obtain food locally.The drought and cold in the north made it extremely difficult to develop military settlements.

"More importantly, I don't want to make the mistakes of Qin Shihuang." Zhu Cihong said at the meeting of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Did Qin Shihuang build the Great Wall to seal off borders and defend himself?No, if you consider the order that the Northern Army can only advance northward and never turn back for life, you can see that the Great Wall is actually a bridgehead for external expansion, rather than a protective umbrella for self-defense and self-protection.However, later generations regarded the Great Wall as a frontier, stuck to their laurels, refused to leave the pass, and regarded the inside of the pass as a happy land, while the outside of the pass was occupied by barbarians.

If the Ming Dynasty built a military fort on the Urge line, at least it would be considered by later generations as the northern border delineated by Zhu Cihong, and at worst it would be abandoned by unworthy descendants.Then the efforts made by millions of people in Ming Dynasty over the years will be in vain.

"I received a map here, which is very satisfactory. You can take a look." Zhu Cihong waved his hand, and the servant beside him sent the map that had been prepared to the hands of the participating generals.

This is a doctored map of the whole world and all kingdoms of Kunyu, in which the territory of the Ming Dynasty starts from the west coast of America, across the ocean, and reaches the west of Congling, directly to the Ottomans, dividing the entire Eurasian continent into two. China occupies Europe, and Ming dominates Asia. )
