Chapter 841

Spring has come, the snow and ice have melted, and the grassland exposing the green grassland has become vibrant. At the same time, it also represents the beginning of the war. Without the fetters of snow, the grazing season is coming, and resources have become the most important thing in everyone's eyes. How to make a better performance and change in the new year, It has become a problem that everyone has to consider.

As the commander of Wanquan City Department and in the Xuanfu mansion, Shi Wanshan's life has been very comfortable recently. Unlike Sun Hong, the commander-in-chief of Datong mansion, who faced the Wara leader first, there was still a lot of pressure. The Xuanfu mansion bordering on mercenary forces was politically and humanely harmonious, and the morale of the army and the people was very stable.

Not only that, the discount sent to Kyoto during the Chinese new year also indicated that the 500000 liang of silver allocated by the imperial court was also in place, allowing them to build 50000 new troops.

With silver, Shi Wanshan has become more ambitious. He only supports 20000 soldiers now. If he can have 50000 more people, his strength will rise more than one level. That is, the imperial court agreed and immediately took action. First, the Xuanfu city called troops, and soon 30000 recruits were in place, but he was not satisfied. In his opinion, the best source of troops was the Mongols. They were not only stronger than the Han people, but also more skilled in equestrian skills. The most important advantage was that they had no worries about using these people, Even if they die on the battlefield, the pension will be very low, and even most people can't give it.

He sent someone to inquire, and many Mongolian soldiers were newly recruited in the city, including Warsaw soldiers, Tatar soldiers, Mongolian soldiers and Nuzhen people. The scouts sent out to inquire about the news reported that the number of troops in Shicheng was unimaginable. I don't know how many people cried and wanted to join mercenaries, but they just had no way.

The news shocked Shi Wanshan's spirit. Seeing the example, he decided to adopt the same recruitment method. The owner of Shicheng is just a loyal and courageous hero appointed by the northern Ming Dynasty. Wouldn't it be more popular for him to recruit troops in the name of the northern Ming Dynasty?

So, under the city of Dalu, after the spring, there was a recruitment office, which was responsible for welcoming the warriors and men on the grassland. The idea is beautiful, and the reality is often cruel. The recruitment office has been established for nearly a month, but very few Mongols have really signed up for the army. All together, they are only 50 people, and most of them are frail men, such as Shi Wanshan's imagination that there are full of people, and the struggle to join the army can't be seen at all.

Shi Wanshan was a wise man. He soon found out the reason. Only then did he find that the reason why Shicheng could easily recruit soldiers was entirely because of the name of the God of war. Mercenaries are known to the world for fighting hard with their fists. Knowing this, he would not be convinced, so he quickly found two deputies, Gu he and Ning Wenfeng, to discuss sending troops to Saihan mountain.

As a member of Tatars, Saihan mountain was put here by Tuotuo Buhua Khan to block the huge stone blocking the road of the Ming Dynasty. But this huge stone has gradually lost its function after the sudden emergence of Shicheng and the capture of Dalu city.

Shi Wanshan doesn't know why Zhongdan didn't pull out the nail. But if this person doesn't do it, it doesn't mean he will do it. Especially now that Dalu city has become something in the hands of Beiming Dynasty, the threat of this place is close at hand.

Sending troops to Saihan mountain can make a reputation and let the grassland warriors know that there is not only a starting city, but also the army of the northern Ming Dynasty. In addition, the occupation of this place is equivalent to an additional front station for the later northern Ming Dynasty to send troops to intervene in the grassland.

"Why don't you inform Shicheng about it?" asked Ning Wenfeng, a think-tank strategist around Shi Wanshan.

"No. we can take Saihan mountain by ourselves with our strength." Shi Wanshan shook his head. In his mind, perhaps this move will not please Zhongdan. Once he really notifies others, what if they disagree? What should I do?

Seeing Shi Wanshan's decision, the commander Tongzhi Guhe stood up and said, "OK, that's it. I'll take the soldiers to fight."

Three days later, fifteen thousand soldiers of the northern Ming Dynasty set out from the city of Dalu to saihanjian four hundred miles away, including five thousand new recruits.

On the city wall, seeing the ancient river leader standing in armor go away, the male duck voice of the guard eunuch Deng Qiang came out, "commander Shi, my father-in-law can make up the memorial of the expedition later, but this battle must be won, otherwise, I'm afraid someone in the imperial court will come to our trouble."

"Hehe, don't worry, Grandpa Deng. General Guhe is the leader. There are only 8000 enemies on Saihan mountain, and there will be no mistakes." Shi Wanshan looked confident. Judging from all the information obtained, it was not difficult to fight this battle, but it was only five days later that a letter requesting additional reinforcements was sent back to commander Shi in Dalu city.

The letter was written by general Guhe himself. When he got to the foot of the mountain, he was ready to attack the city, but when
