Chapter 469: What are the uses of borrowing topics?

Xuanfu Town, the capital of Nanping, controls the desert at the back, controls the danger of Juyong on the left, and has solid support in the clouds. It is one of the important border towns of the Ming Dynasty. It is even known as Xuanfu for its nine-border fortress. It is one of the nine major border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

The most important among them. Since Zhu Di came to the throne, those who have served as the garrison commander here include Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng, Xincheng Bo Zhao Yi, Xing'an Bo Xu Heng, and the British Duke Zhang Fu, Wucheng Hou Wang Cong, and Anping Hou Li Yuan have all trained here.

.

There are a total of 120,000 frontier soldiers stationed in the entire Xuanfu city, and there are tens of thousands of Xuanfu guards in Xuanfu city alone. Although this is a dangerous battlefield, the city is a gathering of talents, rich and prosperous. The streets and alleys are crowded with people, and there is open space everywhere.

Houses would be built, even in those extremely remote streets and alleys. Craftsmen, merchants, civilians, officials and gentry lived together in the city. People who have never been there can hardly imagine that this was the front line of the fight against the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

In addition to relying on the private goods carried by the merchants and the officers, the rich relied more on the military villages to support themselves. Meng Jun, who had been appointed as the official of the Xuanfu for more than half a year, had the deepest experience of this situation. Before he came, he was still

I thought this place was a desolate and barren place, but when I came here, I found that it was not inferior to the capital. But now with the big war, all the food that Xuanfu had accumulated in the past two years had to be shaken off.

You have to rely on transporting a large number of them from various places.

Now standing on the high platform of the Xuanfu teaching ground, he couldn't help but think of a common saying spread in the north. The teaching ground of Xuanfu, the city wall of Yuzhou, the barracks of Shuozhou, and the women of Datong are called the four wonders outside the mouth.

Before he left, Zhang Qing also warned him not to mess with Datong's bastard wife outside, but she actually confused Xuanfu with Datong. In fact, the most famous thing about Xuanfu is the large teaching ground that is said to be forty miles long and ten miles wide.

Now those people on the left guard of Xuanfu standing on top are like small boats in the sea.

The one who was parading the troops above was Xing'an Bo Xu Heng. Although Meng Jun was the legitimate son of the Marquis of Baoding, since he was just a clerk without rank, he only took care of him on weekdays and was not worried that such a man would take away his military power.

At this moment, he glanced sideways at Wang Guan, who was sitting next to him. Although his expression remained unchanged, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. A eunuch was forced to be stuffed into the place where the battle was taking place. This kind of disgusting smell is something that a person can't stand, let alone the Xuan Mansion.

Almost all the musketeers in the three towns are under the control of the other party.

If the British Duke Zhang Fu were here, why should he suffer the arrogance of a eunuch!

It is inevitable that the army will go on an expedition next spring, and this military parade will naturally be no more trivial than in the past. However, there are some who are not solemn, some who make mistakes and are lazy, and some who do not listen to orders... In short, there are rules on the left and rules on the right, and as long as there is a slight mistake,

Just dragging down the marching stick, all I could hear for a moment was the loud and clear killing sounds of the soldiers in uniform on the training ground, and the muttering of bamboo shoots and roasted meat on the execution platform beside him. Finally, when the teaching lesson was over, Wang Guan stood up.

He dusted off his robe and gently cupped his hand to Xu Heng.

"Our family still has some things to do. Now that we're done here, let's take a step forward."

Xu Heng just nodded and saw Wang Guan turning around and walking away with a few followers. He suddenly remembered the activities of the previous few days, and his heart was suddenly filled with unknown fire. He ordered his subordinates, generals and guerrillas to go back, and he was kind

He asked Meng Jun to go back with him, but as soon as he got on his horse, he asked: "This place is different from the capital. Brother Meng is willing to put you here to practice. Although you are studying military affairs, you can't always be without a legitimate job."

, I think I came here just like you. In this way, I will definitely follow the emperor in this northern expedition. You just come with me and bring two thousand people to try it out first."

Although Meng Jun was not an ambitious person, since he came from a distinguished family, he still understood the importance of making contributions and established a good career, so he also practiced martial arts when he was a child. However, Xu Heng opened his mouth and said two thousand

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Sir, I'm just starting out. If I lead troops rashly, something might go wrong. Of course I'm right to follow you, but two thousand people are still..."

"Don't call me "Sir" when there's no one around. It's up to you to come and go! My grandfather and your grandfather are the same generation. I am ten years older than you, but we are the same generation in terms of seniority. Have you forgotten what you called me when you were a child?

?" Xu Heng interrupted Meng Jun angrily, and his big hand like a cattail leaf suddenly grabbed Meng Jun's reins, "A eunuch can lead an army. You come from a family of generals. Just two thousand people are nothing! Besides,

, when the time comes, we can attack wherever the Emperor says, and as long as we don’t rush ahead greedily, we will definitely not be able to cause trouble!”

Since Xu Heng said this, Meng Jun couldn't push the other person's good intentions any further, so he could only respond vaguely. Since this large teaching ground was located outside Xuanfu City, the two of them walked slowly with their entourage and soldiers.

He had to ask Xu Heng for some military advice on the road. When he was about to reach the city gate, he saw sand and dust rising in the distance, but several horsemen were galloping towards him.

"Lord Qi, the weapons shipped from the capital have been delivered!"

"There are still two days left before the scheduled date, but it's just as scheduled!" Xu Heng nodded with satisfaction, asked after some more questions, waved his hand to indicate that they should go back first, and then said to Meng Jun, "Although it has always been rainy outside, it still rains a lot.

At this time last year, there was heavy snow and road closures. Fortunately, your brother-in-law was lucky this time. If it snowed, not to mention the thick snow on the road making it difficult to walk, even the firearms and gunpowder wrapped in oilcloth might be affected by moisture.

"

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then said to Meng Jun: "According to the usual practice, to prevent failure or loss on the road, the weapons are always the same. This time, there are about one more weapons.

OK. If you are free now, just follow and take care of the distribution and storage. Remember, supervise the management yourself and don’t let others get in on it, there are a lot of tricks here!"

Meng Jun had spent some time in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and he had a clear understanding of the dirty tricks in the army under the influence of a group of elders. He was not surprised when he heard this. The in-laws of the Meng and Zhang families

Although they were slightly estranged because of what happened a year ago, that was just for ordinary people to see. He and Zhang Yue had always been close. Besides, he wanted to ask Zhang Yue why he suddenly accepted this hot potato this time.

I came to remind you if there was something important to say, so I immediately agreed without saying a word.

Xuanfu City is 14 miles away on Tuesday and is three feet and five feet high. The city wall is made of rammed earth and covered with green bricks. Its regulation is far better than that of other surrounding cities. The General Military Mansion is located on Bingfu Street in the southeast of the city. It was originally the Guwang

In Beipu, after King Zhu Su of Gu was deposed as a commoner, because the original General Military Mansion was too narrow, the emperor ordered people to destroy the outer wall of Prince Gu's Mansion and built this Beppu as General Military Mansion. Xu Heng and Meng

After Jun and his entourage dismounted in front of the General Military Mansion, some soldiers came forward to report that Zhang Yue and others were inside, and Xu Heng asked.

"Where is the prince?"

"Eunuch Wang said he wasn't feeling well, so he didn't come over to do anything. Uncle Xing An has the final say in everything."

After hearing this, Xu Heng couldn't help but raise his brows, and was very surprised by Wang Guan's courage. Although this eunuch had a certain status when he was in the palace, since he was sent to guard the Xuan Mansion, he should not attack the capital.

People have such an attitude. Besides, he understands the emperor's suspicious temper very well. Now there is an additional Dongchang on the Jinyi Guards. The eunuch Lu Feng who came back this time is the governor of Dongchang. How dare Wang Guan be so negligent?

Meng Jun has not been greedy for power since he came to the Xuan Mansion. He has never dealt with the eunuchs who were in charge of the camps. He has never spoken to Wang Guan more than once. Although he was surprised at this time, he did not take it seriously.

.Following Xu Heng to the main hall, he saw Zhang Yue at a glance and couldn't help but nodded lightly and smiled.

Although he is an imperial envoy, Zhang Yue, the imperial envoy, only supervises the transportation of weapons and does not control Xu Heng, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. Therefore, there is no need for red tape on both sides. It is already the end of September, and it can snow anytime and anywhere outside the country, so

Although the weapons were transported to the Xuan Mansion, the matter was still unfinished. One was distribution and the other was storage. So, when faced with Yu Qian’s voluntary request to go to Wan Quan and Wei Li to reserve weapons, Xu Heng readily agreed. And

Before Zhang Yue left, he had received Zhu Di's sacred order, and he would personally visit Kaiping and Xinghe, so he had to ask Xu Heng for advice.

Lu Feng was not a patient person. Seeing that everyone was talking about business, he couldn't help but coughed slightly: "Bo Xing'an, there is a strange thing we happened to encounter on the road. Everyone is puzzled. The imperial court has always had some problems.

According to the law, the young men who came back from the north were always registered on the spot after verification. Why did the Xuanfu government insist that the person was a Tatar and behead him without asking? It is normal to be careful in the upcoming war, but this Tatar

Did the spy arrange it randomly?"

After hearing such words for no reason, Xu Heng's expression suddenly changed. When he was about to stand up, he remembered that it was none of his business. Holding on to the railings of the Grand Master's chair, he sat back again, leaning on the back of the chair with a bitter smile.

: "This matter was said by the prince. He said that the emperor had previously issued a written instruction that the important areas of the Xuanfu must be strictly screened to prevent Tatar spies from having the opportunity to come in to spy on the military situation. Therefore, any suspicious persons should be arrested immediately. If interrogated

If no results are obtained, they will be executed immediately.”

Originally asking this question just to find fault, Lu Feng looked around pretending to be strange: "We have forgotten that Wang Gonggong is the eunuch guarding Xuanfu. It's strange. Why didn't we see him today? Even those who are in charge of the camp.

None of the camp eunuchs were seen!"

"Well, Eunuch Wang said he was feeling unwell, so he specially ordered someone to come and report it."

"Sick? What a good excuse. If I had known this, if our family had just said that we were sick, would the emperor have sent someone else? If our family heard it right, they said that he was still watching the training in the training ground today, and now he actually

I'm sorry to say I'm sick!"

Seeing Lu Feng's eyebrows raised and furious, Zhang Yue had no choice but to stand up and talk to him. He first sent Yu Qian away, who was impatient to get involved in such a thing. He felt that Xu Heng seemed to be using the topic as an excuse, and he himself was too lazy to stay and listen to these worries.

Something happened, so he excused himself to supervise the loading of gunpowder into the warehouse. As soon as he left the house, he saw Meng Jun following him.

"Bo Xing'an has long disliked that person, but this time you gave him a good opportunity. If you don't say anything, go to work quickly. I'll treat you to a delicious meal from Xuanfu tonight."

Zhang Yue and Meng Jun, the eldest brother-in-law, have always been on good terms. Hearing this, he naturally smiled and agreed, but felt a little strange in his heart. That Hu Cheng has been taken away by Lu Feng's Jin Yiwei in Baoan Prefecture. I'm afraid the news will be revealed soon.

It spread to the Xuanfu. Naturally, a Xuanfu guarding eunuch couldn't defeat the Dongchang factory owner, but behind the crown was not so much the eunuch Liu Yongcheng, but another nobleman - think of Hai Shou, the young eunuch of the imperial eunuch.
