Chapter 876 Conqueror

Although he had arrived last year, Wang Tong was still surprised when he saw this city again, because he didn't know how much bustling around the city was than the last time.

When he came to Guihua City for the first time, Wang Tong led tens of thousands of troops to destroy the country. Altan's army also strengthened the walls and cleared the fields. He arranged a large army to fight hard outside the city. At that time, except for the large tribes that had no time to leave, there were only troops fighting to the death outside the city, so naturally there was no fun.

On the last day of the 12th year of Wanli, I came again, but found that Guihua City seemed to have expanded several times, and the city was naturally the same city, and the size of Guihua City would not change, but it turned out that the empty fields outside the Guihua City wall were full of people.

After Wang Tong recovered, he began to ride a horse forward. He also saw this scene and could hear the amazement from the guards beside him. They were all here last year.

"Master, this"

General Tan was about to explain, but Wang Tong waved his hand and said with a smile:

"No need to say, I'll just look at it myself."

General Tan smiled and nodded, half a horse behind. Guihua City was a city built by the first generation of Altan Khan, but now Guihua City was planned by Wang Tong. He wanted to see what he had been built on Guihua City for half a year.

Like the capital and Nanjing inland cities in the Ming Dynasty, there are also large residential areas around the naturalized city walls, but the details are different than those around those big cities.

The outermost are the four-** carriages circulating from Tianjin Wei. Some have just entered the yard, while others are parked there, just like camping in wartime. The carriages are surrounded by tents and other settings. This should be a caravan heading to the grassland and the caravans that have returned.

There are many caravans, horses, carts, and cargoes occupy too wide. The city is now more and more populous, and there is not such a large open space for them to stay, so outside the city has become their choice. Some important and fine goods naturally have to be sent to the city for storage.

This is the outermost exterior of the residential area of ​​Guihua City. Where the carts stop, you can see a warehouse built with logs. This is somewhat similar to the port area of ​​Tianjin Wei. The carts and the bulk goods of the business are placed here. In this area, you can often see Han people riding horses and swords wandering in groups, and occasionally you can see merchants dressed in wealthy and big belly coming in a carriage.

Walking inwards, it is different. Around the capital and Nanjing, the outside of the city seems a bit messy, with large mansions of wealthy families and shacks of poor people. However, outside the city of Guihua, it is composed of large yards. It is somewhat inappropriate to say that the large yard is, and it is more suitable to describe it as a village.

The high walls composed of rammed earth and wood are also set up in several key parts of the high walls. These yards are separated from each other, and the distance is the road. At this time, the gates of the yard are open, and when passing by, you can see the scene inside the large yard.

This is not a mansion for a wealthy family, but a village where the people live. Wang Tong looked back at Tan Jiang and Tan Huiyi explained:

"Master, this is the rule of residence for the people outside the city. Otherwise, it would be better not to let them live. The farmers who plow the fields now live in such places."

"There should be no large number of enemies coming. I have not seen such military newspapers in the capital."

"Master, be careful. After all, here is alone. If these people don't have time to withdraw from the city, they will suffer heavy losses. Moreover, if these villages are outside, if the enemy's large cavalrymen come, they will have to remove these villages one by one, and the city can be calmly deployed."

"Can there be security teams in these large yards?"

"There are all things. Any young and strong man over the age of fourteen must have training and dare not relax."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile and stopped asking questions. These arrangements were used to guard against the large cavalry on the grassland, relying on firearms and cities to defend. Any tribe on the grassland had no other way to siege the city except for long-term siege. However, the city of Guihua attracted a large number of civilians to come, and the city might not be able to live there. There were various dangers outside the city. The high walls were gathered in order to prevent such raids.

Compared with these courtyards that can rely on the city, the fields scattered throughout the city are more dangerous, and such villages with certain defense capabilities are more critical to them.

Wang Tong's group of people had dozens of large chariots, followed by fully armed cavalry and infantry. Moreover, the large chariots in this team were quite luxuriously decorated, and those for women to live in. Such a team had long attracted the attention of countless people when walking on the street. The men riding horses on the outside were the most casual manners, and they smiled and wanted to see what happened. However, seeing that the team was led by General Tan, and General Tan was obviously in the position of the servants, he was even more afraid to be casual.

I just entered the area where there were courtyards on both sides of the road. People on the road were driven to both sides by cavalry. Many people came out of the courtyard to watch the fun. There had never been any big shots in Guihua City. The eunuch sent by the emperor was just staring at the farmland and was not very concerned about political affairs inside and outside the city. This place has always been in a state of self-government and co-governance. Suddenly, such a person came, which really made everyone feel fresh and curious.

The city of Guihua was built by imitating the Han people. It is now occupied by the Ming Dynasty and dominated by the Han people. But after all, it is on the grassland, pedestrians on the streets, Mongolians and Western Regions can be seen, and the same is true in architecture. It has a strong exotic style. Wang Tong looked at it with great interest. Not only him, but Han Xia and Zhang Hongying lifted the curtains to watch. Even Zhai Xiuer and Lu Ruomei, who were afraid of the cold, were also very excited.

After walking for a while, I heard someone shouting excitedly on the roadside:

"Master, Master, I kowtowed you. I wish Master a great power to stay here."

The voice was a little trembling. Wang Tong tied the reins and looked in the direction of the sound. However, a strong man kowtowed on the side of the road. When he looked up, Wang Tong recognized it and said with a smile:

"Shi San, are you used to living in the north? Or is it a bachelor?"

This Shi San is a small flag of the Fifth Battalion of the Huwei Army. Although he was from a Tianjin Guard, he had no parents since childhood. Wang Tong said he would retire from the team, so Shi San signed up himself.

Shi San, who was kneeling there, heard Wang Tong shouting his name, felt a light on his face, and said gratefully:

"Thank you for your concern. My subordinates have married a wife here and have a job to do. This is all the kindness of the coach, and all the kindness of the coach."

Speaking of this, he was already choking and couldn't continue. He kowtowed on the side of the road. Jiang Tan came over and said in Wang Tong's ear:

"Shi San is now the captain of a business in Shaanxi, and he is also the instructor of two farms in the east, and he lives a very decent life."

Wang Tong nodded and said with a smile:

"Get up, get up, a man who is born and dies, don't wipe his tears in this public place and be laughed at by others."

When the old subordinate saw that he was in a state of excitement, he also made Wang Tongxin sigh. But the Tan General next to him reached out and patted his forehead, and said with a blaming smile:

"Eunuch Meng Duo and Meng are waiting at the city gate, but their subordinates make a mistake. Except for the military generals and officials in the city, the rest of the people don't know. This is true."

Wang Tong was about to say that this was not a mistake, but General Tan turned around and ordered a personal soldier. Two cavalrymen rode to the front of the team. When Wang Tong was puzzled, he heard the two cavalry shouting loudly:

"Marquis Dingbei, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Lord Wang Tong, arrived~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After running for a while, he shouted at the top of his throat, and he could hear the sound constantly heading into the city. The people on the roadside looked around curiously, and when they heard the shout, their faces changed.

Who is Wang Tong? The titles of the commander of the Dingbei Hou and the Jinyiwei did not have much deterrent to the people here, but Wang Tong destroyed the Altan tribe and captured the main generals of Guihua City, tens of thousands of soldiers, nearly 100,000 people in the city, and the Khan of the Altan tribe and other nobles all died under his command.

Nearly one-third of the land in this Guihua City now belongs to Wang Tong, not to mention those caravans, almost all levels of the military generals of the armed forces in the city are Wang Tong's old subordinates.

What is Wang Tong to Guihua City? He is the conqueror of this city. Wang Tong can be said to be the master here.

The Han people showed a look of awe on their faces. The Mongolians and people from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions learned from the whispers on the street that their first reaction was to kneel down and tremble and dare not look up.

For the Han people, Wang Tong was a high-ranking official, aristocrat, and hero. For other races, Wang Tong was a demon, a god of killing, a conqueror, the master here, he killed Altan Khan, the hero of the grassland, and he stepped on the most powerful force on the grassland. For such an existence, only by kneeling down can they express their fear and respect.

The news spread quickly. Inside and outside the city, the officers and soldiers of Huwei Army, Datong and Jizhen, who were left here, all won battles under the leadership of Wang Tong and conquered Guihua City. Now they are the coaches and leaders of various guards in the city. They are the upper class of Guihua City and the core of the armed forces of this city. Some of them are at home, some are in inns, and some are practicing. When they hear Wang Tong's news, they all arrive on horseback, get off the horse and kowtow, and then get on the back of the team, and line on both sides as entourages.

The team was walking slowly and slowly. The streets that were still noisy just now became very quiet. When they saw the Meng people and the Western Regions kneeling down, the Han people on the street were also kneeling on the ground, and the people who were kneeling respectfully on both sides of the road. Wang Tong's team was getting longer and longer, and all the warriors from Guihua City were following.
