July 27, 1592, morning.

"Sir, it's the territory of Lingzhou in front of you. You can go to Ningxia Town in two days."

Rewards for horse exploration.

"Very good, it's coming."

Huang Laifu breathed a sigh of relief. The army set out from Wuzhai Fort, and had been walking for eleven days until today. There were more than 200 miles from Ningzhou to Ningxia Town. It seemed that it would be possible to reach the destination by marching for another two days.

Huang Laifu sent an order: "Send the order, and the army speeded up and went to Lingzhou City to rest."

Suddenly, the commanders were heard everywhere, and the army accelerated, rolling in and out, moving forward.

At nearly noon, the Wuzhai Fort army had arrived at the city of Lingzhou.

Lingzhou City is the Lingwu City in Ningxia in later generations. It is located on the east bank of the Yellow River, at the junction of the Yinchuan Plain and the Ordos platform. Because of the benefits of the Yellow River irrigation, it is known as the "Jiangnan on the Frontier".

When the Ningxia chaos began, the Qingbai once sent people to cross the Yellow River to attack Lingzhou City, but it could not be attacked. The Lingzhou City is now a different scene. Under the Ningxia Town, not far from here, there were tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty rebels and horses gathered. In addition, there were also large rebels from various places, which were also rolling in. The food and grass needed by these people were astronomical. Lingzhou had the advantage of geographical advantages, so it became an important logistics base for the quelling of the rebellion in Ningxia.

In order to better manage the army's food and grass, the grain management officer of the Ministry of Revenue in Ningxia has moved here to work. With the cooperation of various places, countless grain and supplies, and the ordnance materials transferred from various provinces and states are gathered here, and there are also ants-like civilians who are busy inside and outside the city. The tense atmosphere and the scent of war can be smelled here.

At this time, Lin Daohe, the head of grain management in Ningxia of the Ministry of Revenue, led many minor officials to keep busy, counting the grain and grass, distributing food and paying food, and calling for drinks, and busy all the time.

However, even though he was busy, Lin Daohe was still in a happy mood. The food and supplies were in his hands. No matter who it was, they had to act according to his expression. Even the minor officials under his command were all insignificant minor officials, even the guerrilla military officers in Ningxia Town and the guerrilla military officers were polite to see them. Otherwise, if Lin Daohe and others made things difficult for a moment, they would have to let these generals go.

This is still the treatment of local military generals in Ningxia Town. As for those foreign tourists, not to mention that Lin Daohe is not concerned about it, even his food officials rely on his momentum to never give these military men a good face. But on the surface, who dares not smile with these tourists?

At this time in Lingzhou City, Liu Youde, the defender general, was patrolling the city wall with his servants. Since Lingzhou City was a logistics center, he could not be careful. At this time, he received a notice from a transiting passenger cavalry that the Wuzhai Fort army from Shanxi Town was about to come to Lingzhou City soon, and informed the defender general that he learned about it.

After letting the Wuzhai Fortress in the city quickly ride into the city, Liu Youde read the document and looked at his waist card again. He was a bannerman, and then looked at him with admiration. He was such a good soldier, tall and burly, with a greasy face, good nutrition, muscles, and explosive power all over his body.

The equipment is also very well-equipped. In addition to the waist knife and the large bow and arrow bag on the back, there are also several hand guns inserted on the waist. The material of the war suit is noble and a colored flag is inserted on the back. The war horses beside him are also lively and strong, and they are equipped with twin horses. If such a person is placed beside him, he will be a figure like a relative. Unexpectedly, in the Wuzhai Fort army, he is just a horse-studying horse.

However, Liu Youde told the Wuzhai Fort that the troops could not be stationed in Lingzhou City. Their team could only camp outside the city like those tourists who came to Lingzhou City. However, General Liu Shen could inform the grain managers in the city of the Ministry of Revenue and supplement them with some food and grass.

The Wuzhai Fortress explored the horses and returned the gift politely. He only said lightly that his own troops and horses had their own food and salary, so there was no need to bother the general and the headmaster. After that, he got off the city and made General Liu Youde go out of the way. The foreign guest troops brought their own food and salary? It took a long time since I heard of this word.

Lin Daohe, the head of grain management in Ningxia of the Ministry of Revenue, also brought some followers to the city wall. When he saw the Wuzhai Fortress probing horses away from him, he saw that the official in civilian costumes was in front of him, and he couldn't help but frown. He came to Liu Youde and said, "Where did the military man come from? He is so rude and rude, is there another guest army coming to Lingzhou City?"

Facing Lin Daohe, Liu Youde quickly changed into a friendly expression and smiled and said, "No, an army from Wuzhai Fort in Shanxi Town is a deputy general, with two thousand soldiers leading to Lingzhou City soon."

Lin Daohe didn't say anything when he heard the military position of "Deputy General". For him, he wouldn't take it seriously, even if he was a general, even if he was a general, he wouldn't take it seriously, although his official position was far smaller than theirs.

He just snorted and said, "A few thousand mouths are coming to eat. Where did I get so much food and grass to allocate them? And judging from the appearance of the Wuzhai Fort military man just now, it seems that there are a group of crude and uninformed martial artists."

He was a revengeful person. The Wuzhai Fortress was rude to him just now. He thought that when the army came to rest, he would make things difficult for them. According to his experience, any guest army, when they arrived at the city of Lingzhou, would be cut off from food and grass, and they needed to beg him to assign it.

Liu Youde smiled and said, "Maybe Lord Lin doesn't have to worry about his head, because the soldier of Wuzhai Fort said just now that they brought their own food and salary and did not need to be allocated by the local Ningxia Town."

"Carry your own food and salary?" Lin Daohe couldn't help but be stunned. "Shanxi Town is here, more than a thousand miles away. How did they transport food?"

Liu Youde smiled and said, "I don't know this book."

Looking at Liu Youde's smiling face, Lin Daohe felt particularly uncomfortable. After so many times of quelling the chaos in Ningxia, who should respect him? However, his long-standing technique seemed to be ineffective when putting it on the Wuzhai Fort army, which made Lin Daohe feel upset.

He thought to himself: "I want to see what kind of army this army from Wuzhai Fort in Shanxi Town is. I have my own food and salary? Humph, I don't know if it is true or false."

※※※

The two stood on the city wall and looked south. Soon, they saw smoke and dust rolling, looming, countless flags. Then they heard the sound of hooves like thunder, as if the ground was about to shake. The momentum was really amazing. It made Liu Youde and Lin Daohe take a breath of air. Could this be the Wuzhai Fort army from Shanxi Town? It is so powerful?

The two of them could see clearly that the hundreds of cavalry in front of the army, at least from people to horses, were covered with iron armor, like monsters. About two thousand cavalry followed behind. Although the horses were not covered with iron armor, the horse knights were all wearing iron armor, which was really elite. And there was another important question: Where did this army get so many war horses?

Not to mention that Liu Youde and Lin Daohe were sucking in air conditioners, even the local defenders in Lingzhou City, seeing the Wuzhai Fort army's power, everyone changed their color, and everyone pointed at the city.

Soon, the army arrived at the south gate of Lingzhou City, and a large yellow flag fluttered in the wind. Although it was still, the silent power still suppressed everyone in the city to breathe.

Looking at the big banner, Lin Daohe suddenly remembered that he had read the Dibao and Wuzhai Fort... Could it be that this is the army under that person? For a moment, the rumors that he had heard flashed through Lin Daohe's mind, the God of Grain, the God of Wealth, perhaps, only this wealthy man can have the money to give such good equipment to his subordinates.

It was confirmed that another guest army was coming, General Liu Youde opened the south gate and took some relatives to go out to greet him. Huang Laifu was the deputy general, and he was the general, so naturally he was greeted by the following rituals. Only Lin Daohe had a dark face and still stood on the city wall. Huang Laifu also forgot his existence and did not see his face at all, which made Lin Daohe's face even more gloomy.

General Liu Youde looked at Huang Laifu, the young and overly young deputy general, and then looked at his mighty military horses, and secretly envied and sighed. Of course, he was a cunning person, and his courtesy manners were impeccable. He also clearly stated the situation in the city, hoping that Deputy General Huang could understand his difficulties. However, he had ordered a banquet to prepare for a banquet, thinking that Huang's army would welcome the people.

Huang Laifu understood his difficulties and would camp outside the city to rest, but he refused his kindness to welcome the people.

Liu Youde asked again tentatively, could he ask Lingzhou City to provide today's food?

Huang Laifu shook his head again. Although the caravans that came from Wuzhaibao were already a few days behind, the supply from the merchant stations along the way still allowed the Wuzhaibao army to have food and grass that could be eaten for at least a few days. After a few days, the Wuzhaibao caravans that were leaving the team would catch up one after another.

At present, the Wuzhai Fort army camped. Wuzhai Fort's early exploration of horses had already reported the places where they could camp near Lingzhou City to Huang Laifu in detail. Not far from Lingzhou City, there is a Qin Canal, which has convenient water sources and is a good place to camp.

At that moment, the Wuzhai Fort army fought together, and soon, a military camp appeared in front of everyone.

It was almost noon, except for ordinary soldiers to rest, the soldiers in the army were busy entering Lingzhou City to purchase fresh vegetables and other fresh vegetables. The power of the Wuzhai Fort army had already been introduced into the city. At this time, these Wuzhai Fort army chefs entered the city, and wherever they went, they attracted the attention of many people in Lingzhou City and foreigners.

In the eyes of the people of Lingzhou City, these soldiers from Wuzhai Fort were tall and strong, dressed brightly, politely and heroically, which was very different from the officers and soldiers seen in Lingzhou City. Seeing their big and small carts purchasing goods, they took out the white silver without frowning, and everyone couldn't help but be amazed.

People say that the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort are so rich? If the Ming army was rich, how could everyone be considered a commoner? Everyone could join the army. This bizarre army also attracted the attention of local merchants. Such a rich army is a potential big customer.

The chefs of the Wuzhaibao army moved quickly. Soon, they finished purchasing and returned to the military camp. Soon, the smell of attractive food came from the Wuzhaibao army camp, which could be said to be a fragrance that spread ten miles, attracting many local children to watch outside the military camp.

The army was very friendly. Seeing many children slamming the fence and looking at it, many tall soldiers came out and carried several buckets of sharp rice, as well as a lot of oily vegetables and large buckets of vegetable soup to give it to the children. The news came out, which attracted groups of children in Lingzhou City to rush to the Wuzhai Fort Military Camp.

After hearing this news, the adults were jealous, but they were not good at scrambling food with their children, and they just talked more vigorously.

Only Lin Daohe, the head of the grain management team, had a gloomy face when he heard this. It seemed that the so-called self-providing food and salary of this army was real. The methods he was good at seemed to have no effect on them.

And just now, he sent a minor official to the camp on the pretext of whether the Wuzhai Fort army wanted to allocate food and grass. According to the minor official, the people ate very well, just ordinary soldiers, with four dishes and one soup, not only vegetables and eggs, but also everyone had sharp pieces of meat. After smelling the fragrance, he still swallowed his saliva when he remembered it. It’s a pity that he had to come back to report his life and could not stay in the local area for lunch.

He ignored the same drooling officials beside him and just sighed: "Look at what others eat, then look at what we eat. Damn, are they still the Ming army?"

During the disaster year, the landlords in the Ming Dynasty had no surplus food. Lin Daohe said that although they were small officials, they could eat enough, it was impossible to eat meat frequently. Unexpectedly, the poor army, who could not even eat enough food, could eat sharp pieces of meat in their eyes, which made them feel particularly unbalanced.

Lin Daohe finally snorted angrily: "A bunch of martial artists, domineering!"

※※※

The next day, while the people of Lingzhou City were crowded with people, in the angry eyes of Lin Daohe and others, and in the envious eyes of the officers and soldiers of Lingzhou City, the Wuzhai Fort army set out of Lingzhou City and continued to go to Ningxia Town.

Not long after, they passed Xiajiabao, Hengcheng Castle, crossed the Yellow River, and arrived at the foot of Ningxia Town.

On July 16, 1592, Huang Laifu led his troops from Wuzhai Fort. After a 13-day long journey, he traveled a thousand miles. On the afternoon of July 29, he arrived at the destination of Ningxia Town. Their arrival caused a huge sensation in the local area. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in to www.qidian.com.
