On September 27, the 21st year of Wanli, it was almost noon.

"Ningwu is really good!"

At this time, Huang Laifu and his group were coming to Ningwu Pass in a mighty way. After entering the territory of Ningwu Pass from Shenchi Fort, the primeval forests could be seen everywhere, and both sides of the road were full of thick larch, coniferous forests, and broad-leaved forests. As they were walking, they could occasionally see some brown horse roosters, black storks, golden eagles, golden leopards and other wild animals rushed out of the woods.

This kind of scene with a good ecological environment and densely covered with primeval forests is rare in Wuzhai Fort, Shenchi Fort, Laoying Fort and other places. Huang Laifu and others were reluctant to admire it.

Since Ningwu Pass is a town, there are many stations, Huoludou piers, etc. Walking on the road, the closer it is to Ningwu Pass, the denser the Huolu piers are, and there is one every other mile. According to the Ming Dynasty beacon alarm system, when there is a policeman at the border, the beacon fire will be lit, and a police force will be sent for 400 miles a day and night. The biggest support is these fire road piers.

Ningwu and Shenchi Fort are separated by Guancen Mountain, and Yi Road passes along the mountain. The road conditions are not very good, and there are bumps everywhere. However, although the road conditions are like this, Shanxi Town has no money to repair it, which can only make him more and more destructive. Huang Laifu thought to step up the connection between Ningwu Pass and Wuzhai Fort. The road surface cannot be sorted out in the future.

After crossing Guancen Mountain, the terrain gradually became flat, with hills and plains in front of it, and some small rivers were also seen heading towards the Huihe River. However, there is not much cultivated land here, mostly along the banks of the Huihe River or the tributaries, with crops planted, mostly buckwheat, buckwheat, wheat and other things. Most of the people in Ningwu Pass are spring wheat, and the autumn harvest has been completed, and there are not many busy people in the fields.

Huang Laifu can see that the water conservancy facilities in this area are very simple, and due to years of drought, the water levels in Huihe and other places have dropped a lot. Moreover, according to Huang Laifu's computer data, Ningwu Pass belongs to a cold and cold and dry area with long and cold winters, with strong winds and short frost-free periods, so it is not very suitable for farming. In addition, this is a tourist land in the town, and the interests of all parties are not as simple as Wuzhai Fort. Huang Laifu thought that if he wanted to farm in Ningwu Pass, it was really not an ideal place.

After Huang Laifu set out from Wuzhai Fort, he stayed at Shenchi Fort for a day and sent his third sister Huang Birou back to Shenchi Fort. The third sister Huang Birou stayed in Wuzhai Fort for a long time. She missed Shenchi Fort a little bit. In addition, her mother Yang had already gone to the capital, so Huang Laifu sent her back. Anyway, now my third brother-in-law Tian Dafu knew that she was wrong and became gentle to her third sister. Huang Laifu would feel more at ease.

Since Huang Laifu took office, soldiers and generals from all over Shanxi Town had to go to Ningwu Pass to pay a visit. Therefore, Tian Dafu, a third brother-in-law, who was the general of Shenchi Fort, took some servants to Ningwu Pass with Huang Laifu. At this time, he rode his horse next to Huang Laifu.

His brother-in-law was promoted to the general officer of Shanxi Town, and Tian Dafu was naturally proud. While he was proud, he was also worried about Huang Laifu. He said: "The military gate will soon arrive at Ningwu Pass. You are trusted by the emperor to develop farms in Ningwu Pass to solve the local military food and salary problems. However, Ningwu Pass is not as good as Wuzhai Fort and other places. There are many generals and officials there, and they are all on the top of the mountain. The last general is worried that it will be difficult to deal with at that time!"

Huang Laifu is now promoted to the general of Shanxi Town, with the seal of the general of the Western Expedition and the title of deputy governor, which can be said to be a prominent official position. However, the current general of the Ming Dynasty is famous for commanding the entire town, but in fact it is just guarding a fortress.

The military decision-making and planning of the entire town's army is the governor. The local police, military weapons, grain transportation and other matters are the local soldiers and officials. The distribution of food and money is the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the military supervisor. The local military farms and other matters are also the director of the local garrison headquarters. Huang Laifu can only manage one thing, that is, to get money to fight.

However, Huang Laifu was very strange. In addition to being the general, he was also the governor of Wuzhai Fort, Shenchi Fort, Bajiao Fort, Ningwuguanji Fort, and specializing in the local military farming, mining and factory building. This official position is very strange, and there is no official position in the Ming Dynasty.

This was what Emperor Wanli had taken a fancy to Huang Laifu's farming ability and specially developed. It was for Huang Laifu to manage several forts, and he had a lot of money and he could share money with Huang Laifu. Regarding this point, the cabinet and various officials had no idea how much they were talking about, and many censors also made such suggestions that this behavior caused the vassal state. However, Emperor Wanli ignored it.

However, Huang Laifu can manage Wuzhai Fort, Bajiao Fort, Shenchi Fort, Laoying Fort, etc., but it is a bit complicated to start mining in Ningwuguan. After all, the fields, mines and other things over there are famous flowers, and all forces are strong and their interests are mixed. Huang Laifu must proceed smoothly unless it is like a killing in Shenchi Fort, but this is impossible.

The third brother-in-law Tian Dafu also understood this, so he was worried about Huang Laifu. If the matter in Ningwu Pass was not going well, it would affect Huang Laifu's status and image in the mind of Emperor Wanli, which was the most worrying thing about him.

Gu Dadao behind Yang Xiaolu was always excited and looked left and right. At this time, he said strangely: "The military gate is the general, so he naturally only cares about war and farming. Isn't that what the military gates do?...Why are the military gates going to Ningwuguan to farming?"

Yang Xiaolu in front of Gu Dadao said proudly: "Dadao, you don't understand it now. In addition to being the general, our elders are also the governor of several forts. That was ordered by the emperor's emperor. Military affairs can be investigated by the military!"

After Huang Laifu accepted Gu Dadao, he placed him in the housekeeper camp. Huang Laifu went to Ningwu Pass, and Gu Dadao naturally followed him. This time, Huang Laifu established his own housekeeper camp with a quota of more than 3,000 people. The more than 2,000 housekeepers in front of him were divided into two divisions, each division had one thousand general, with Yang Xiaolu as the commander. Among them, more than 300 old housekeepers were cavalry, and the rest were horse infantry.

Huang Laifu has regulations that whether it is his confidants or relatives, they are usually called military positions in the army, so Gu Dadao is no exception. Although he is Huang Laifu's nephew, he still calls Huang Laifu the military. Jiang Dazhong likes Gu Dadao, and the two have similar tempers and personalities. They have been quite a match in the past few days in Wuzhaibao. Yang Xiaolu takes good care of him because Gu Dadao is Huang Laifu's nephew.

"So that's how it is!"

Gu Dadao has always admired Huang Laifu, and now he admires him even more.

Ma Jiuying's father-in-law and Huang Laifu ran in parallel. At this time, he laughed in his unique voice: "Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe, in fact, everyone doesn't have to worry. We believe in the ability of Huang Junmen and can properly solve this problem at that time."

After Huang Laifu became the general, Ma Jiuying's father-in-law rose and was promoted to the military supervisor. He went to Ningwu Pass to take office. But to be honest, Ma Jiuying's father-in-law still liked Wuzhai Fort more. However, his responsibilities were dependent, he had to go to work with Huang Laifu.

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "That's the one who knows me is Eunuch Ma!"

Huang Laifu has also known about the situation in Ningwu Pass. The fields and mines there were indeed occupied by local officials and generals. However, Huang Laifu was not worried, he had his own ideas.

...

As everyone laughed, the soldiers were soon not far from Ningwu Pass. Everyone could see the towering moat on Huagai Mountain in the north of the city. On the side wall that was forty miles long, a three-story Huagai Tower was built. From a distance, the moat on Huagai Mountain looked like a phoenix head, and the forts extending to the east and west were like phoenix wings. No wonder Ningwu Pass was also known as the "Phoenix City".

Huang Laifu looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but sigh: "What a pass!"

There is a tall flying building on the north gate of Ningwu Pass. On the gate tower, there is a plaque of "Zhenshuomen". This Zhenshuomen has always been the passage for the military forts in Shanxi Town to enter Ningwu Pass.

At this time, outside Zhenshuo Gate, there were many generals standing out, and greetings were constantly being exchanged. When the new general took office, the generals from all over the country naturally came to visit and greet him. Everyone has been famous for a long time. I heard that this general is only twenty-two years old this year. Such a young general, except for the founding of the Ming Dynasty, is probably unique in the history of the dynasty. Therefore, everyone's hearts are full of curiosity.

At the gate of the city, there were red tassels and phoenix wings and iron armor. In addition to the local military generals in Ningwu Pass, there were also generals from all over Shanxi Town, crowding the city gate. In addition to these people, the periphery of soldiers who maintained order was also crowded with local military households watching the fun. Everyone should see what this young Huang Junmen looked like.

However, among the military generals all over the ground, there was not a local civil servant. Although Huang Laifu was the general, these civil servants respected their own identities and were unwilling to condescend to greet them. In addition to Lord Zhang Wenbao, who was in charge of grain in the Shanxi Town Ministry of Revenue, he also came out to greet them, which made him look a little strange among the generals in iron helmets and armor. However, Zhang Wenbao just stood calmly and ignored the eyes of others.

Among the military generals, Huang Laifu's eldest brother-in-law, Eight-Gaojiao Fort guerrilla Xu Xueshi, Huang Laifu's second brother-in-law, and Baodezhou garrison Li Yingchun, both of them stood beside the generals with great enthusiasm. The brother-in-law was promoted to general, and these brother-in-law naturally had a bright face. Because of this relationship, Yuzhe's military generals also tried to please them, so that they could be happy and chat and laugh with everyone.

Among them, the most pleasing to them was Liu Quanli, the former general of General Liu Mingan. This was a tall fat man with a smooth face, an eight-petal hat on his head, a big red cloak tied around his neck, and a full iron armor on his body, which felt like he was full of squeeze.

Liu Quanli was originally the rank of generals and was the model soldier in command of Liu Ming'an. The model soldier was the name of the governor, governor, and personal soldiers under the command of the general in the Ming Dynasty. He has always been the elite of the army. In the city of Ningwuguan, there were four battalions of soldiers, two battalions of scattered soldiers, and two battalions of model soldiers. Among the two battalions, the governor Yang Fangluo led the first battalion and Liu Ming'an led the first battalion.

Originally, Liu Quanli and others were popular and delicious under Liu Ming'an's command, and they had always been walking sideways inside and outside Ningwu Pass. However, since Liu Ming'an was demoted to Guangdong, a small number of people followed Liu Ming'an. Most of the personal soldiers also became betrayal dogs, and no one wanted them, and they couldn't afford to want them. After all, it was very expensive to raise family soldiers, so who had so much money to support them?
