Chapter 2: Fighting the Tartars

As we got closer to the crowd, the words of the adults on the stage also reached the ears of the children.

"This is to repay the emperor's kindness, so everyone should be more prompt.

Duan Da, you guys go back immediately and bring your bows and arrows. I will leave my words here and tell you to take good care of them. If you can't draw your bows when you get there, see what I do with you.

The two general flags are responsible for distributing weapons and armor, and the small flags of each team are leading the teams to collect equipment. Get moving, hurry up."

Then came the sound of cursing. The bannermen below led their teams and received their equipment from the two vehicles in order. The seven or eight soldiers did not care about receiving the equipment at this time, and left the crowd and walked away. Rushing home, it is the archer who goes to get his bow and arrows.

Yutou stared at the people walking away, guessing that these people must be scolding his father at this moment.

These few of them, Yutou still knows, are archers and part-time hunters from Baihu. Even though they are on the edge of the Yangtze River, more than ten miles east of Baihu are in the mountains, which seems to be called Wulong Mountain. Or something, they often take advantage of the slack time to go hunting in the mountains.

Bows and arrows in ancient times were precious. Whether it was a bow or a string, if you didn't pay attention to maintenance, problems would occur, especially the strings.

And the reason why these few were able to get bows and arrows from the warehouse was not because every time they went into the mountains to hunt, they had to send a copy to the officers' homes in the Baihu Station, just like the homes of the children around them.

Yutou took advantage of this opportunity and trotted directly to his father, and asked cautiously: "Dad, where are you going?"

At this time, Baihuguan, who was already wearing cotton armor, looked at his youngest son, smiled implicitly, and then said: "Son, you'd better go home early, daddy will be away for a few days."

"Are you going to fight? Who will you fight?"

Yutou asked eagerly, not only because the man in front of him was his biological father, but also because he was now his long-term meal ticket. From the current point of view, he was about to go to war.

"Guangde, I can't explain this at the moment. You should go home and listen to your mother more during this time. And your brother, I won't let him go, so he will stay in the fort to look after the house. "

"Dad, what are you doing?"

At this point, Yutou knew that something was not good. He had just crossed over a few days ago, and he would not be in a state where the mountains and rivers were broken and the wind was flying. But it was also wrong. The name of the year in his impression was not right. superior.

"Master Wei, look at the weather. It's going to be dark soon. Do you still have to rush to Qianhusuo overnight?"

"Yes, sir, shall we set off again tomorrow morning?"

At this moment, the two flag officers arranged the order of receiving the equipment, and they all gathered together with Master Baihu.

"The military report made it clear that we must assemble immediately."

Mr. Wei looked at his two general banners and could only helplessly smile.

"Send all the young ones back home."

Wei Baihu said to the two general banners again that he did not want to gather his troops and set off at this time, but what else could he do if the military order was like this.

Soon, the few children had no choice but to leave the small classroom and go home. Yutou went straight to the big house in the middle of the stone castle, where hundreds of households were located, and it was also his home.

"Brother, big brother."

Yutou jumped into the house and ignored the soldiers standing guard in front of the house. He shouted loudly as soon as he entered the house.

"Yutou, stop barking, I'm here."

At this time, no one could be seen in the front yard. In the past, there were people coming in and out to process documents and files. The sound came from the document room on the right.

Yutou walked over quickly, "Brother, dad and the others said they were going to Qianhusuo, but why did they bring the army there and distribute swords and guns at the city gate?"

When he entered the door, he saw his eldest brother sitting dejectedly on a chair in the room. He was obviously in a low mood and was very depressed.

"You are also literate, see for yourself."

As he said that, his eldest brother pointed to a military order placed on the desk in front of him. Yutou didn't have time to think too much, so he quickly walked over, picked it up and looked at it, and he understood it at a glance.

But at this moment, although his elder brother asked him to see it by himself, he also said in a low voice at this time: "The Tatars who invaded the border two months ago said that they had already reached the capital. This Jiajing I'm not going to recruit King Qin's army from all over the country, and our Jiujiang Guards have also been recruited.

Let's go to Jiujiang Pier to board the ship, go straight along the river to the Grand Canal and go north to reinforce the capital. It is said that it is a military order issued by the former military governor's office. It is estimated that the guards on both sides of the canal and we are going to mobilize to the battlefield. "

At this moment, Yutou also read the military order in his hand and wondered: "Brother, didn't you say that the Tatars were defeated in Datong two days ago? Why did they attack the capital all of a sudden?"

"If I knew it, I wouldn't sit here. Instead, it's time to go to Yingtian and become a master."

His eldest brother sighed and said: "I heard that the Tatars in the north are very powerful. Everyone has a tall horse, and they come and go like the wind. They are also said to be sharp archers. I am afraid that Duan Da in our castle will not be a match. So my father didn’t let me go with him on this expedition.

By the way, Mom is still crying in the backyard. You go back to persuade her, act coquettishly and coax her. "

In a few words, Yutou was pushed out of the house by his elder brother and had to walk to the backyard. As he walked, he was still thinking about this. He didn't remember the Mongols attacking Beijing. In his memory, they seemed to have attacked the Tumu Fort. The remaining ones are the red gangsters from Jianzhou, but that was all in the late Ming Dynasty, and the Jiajing Dynasty is just now, so they seem to be far away.

For ordinary modern people, the Ming Dynasty is so far away.

For the fish head who accidentally traveled to this era, in his impression, he knew Emperor Jiajing because this emperor was a little unreliable and liked to cultivate immortality.

As for the understanding of this era, it was Yan Song and Yan Shifan, who were the prime ministers of the dynasty.

At first, he thought that these two names referred to one person, and Shifan was the person's courtesy name.

After all, this was in ancient times. People with a little status, in addition to their full names and nicknames, generally had a courtesy name, or even a nickname. Later, he learned that they were father and son.

And Qi Jiguang, a famous general who fought against the Japanese pirates, seemed to be from this era.

But it's strange to say that I heard people say that there were Japanese pirates in Fujian next door, but I didn't hear about Qi Jiguang.

However, as the fish head Wei Guangde of this life, these questions can only be quietly puzzled for a while, and there is no way to ask them.

Wei Guangde was born in AD? .

How to say this?

Fishhead Wei Guangde really didn't know what year it was in the later generations, but he knew the reign. He was born in the 18th year of Jiajing, and the current reign is the 29th year of Jiajing. He is 11 years old this year.

And why did he travel to this era?

Don't think it's really that easy to travel through time. At least as a person who successfully traveled through time, Wei Guangde felt that he still had enough say. Although it was not very reliable, it felt that the right time, right place and right people were indispensable.
