A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 768 What do you read?
Xi'an, known as Chang'an in ancient times, had thirteen dynasties established their capitals here successively. The Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty thought that "the mountains and rivers in the world, but the middle name of Qin is the most dangerous and solid", presided over by the governor Pu Ying, and expanded the city of Xi'an on the basis of the old city of Tang Dynasty.

In the 11th year of Hongwu, the city of Xi'an was completed, with a total circumference of 27 miles. The wall was 12 meters high, and the bottom of the wall was 18 to [-] meters wide. The thickness of the city wall was actually greater than the height.There are four gates, and each gate has three towers, gate tower, archery tower and main tower.There is a high and deep moat outside the city, coupled with dense turrets and enemy towers, it can be said to be as stable as a mountain.

On this day, there were many high-ranking officials outside the Anyuan Gate, headed by Feng Shikong, the governor of Shaanxi, Huang Ji, the inspector, Tian Shizhen, Jian Renrui, the prefect of Xi'an, Wu Congyi, the prefect of Xi'an, Cui Eryuan, the governor of the capital, Qiu Congzhou, Wang Zhengren, etc., all risked their lives. Wind and snow gathered outside the north gate to welcome Governor Sun and his party who were about to arrive.

Although the weather was cold, the crowd was quiet and silent. Sun Chuanting was a martial artist who could shoot left and right. No matter how powerful the generals are, they are all feared by him.

His character was so stubborn that even his teacher, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides at the time, wanted to let him have a bit of a taste that those who follow him will prosper, and those who go against him will perish.At that time, Sun Chuanting was the governor, and many people lamented that life was hard. After he was dismissed from office, many people applauded.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting came back and served as governor. Now more people lamented that there will be no good life in the future.

Feng Shikong, the governor of Shaanxi, stood with some worry. He was originally a warrior. He was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli.In the early years of Tianqi, he served as the magistrate of Zhending, and later he was promoted to the deputy envoy of Jingxing Bingbei, and Ding You returned.In the second year of Chongzhen, Lingong Bingbei was used, and later changed to Guyuan, and Ding You returned again.

In fact, Feng Shikong had no intention of official career, he just wanted to spend some time at home. Unexpectedly, this year, he was recommended to promote talents from the frontier and all capable officials in the world. Unfortunately, Feng Shikong was recommended.

His personality is a bit soft, and he is the most important thing when things happen. There was only one time when his subordinates killed a good man and took the meritorious service. Feng Shikong was furious and used his pawn to die. Boss, I don't know if life will be better in the future.

Beside him, Canzheng Tian Shizhen looked at him and said hesitantly, "Duke Feng..."

Feng Shikong shook his head and said in a low voice: "Don't say too much, just wait for Sun Du to arrive."

In the middle of the day, a flying horse came to report: "Sun Du's soldiers and horses have arrived."

Everyone cheered up immediately, and the drummers began to beat hard. They heard a few horses neighing, and then saw neat banners, and a group of marching cavalry appeared in the snow. They rode in a row, roaring, and each Wearing a helmet and armor, the momentum is as deep as the boundless sea, and full of strong evil spirit.

Seeing their horses of the same color, the cold light gleaming from the thick copper nails on the cotton armor, the cloaks on their bodies fluttering in the cold wind, and the cold killing intent permeating their bodies, all the officials were stunned. This... Where did Sun Du come from? Such an elite soldier?
The closer the distance is, the denser the sound of horseshoes is like a shower, and the stronger the oppressive force. Seeing these soldiers and horses coming in order, many officials have the feeling that they are hard-working drummers. Also unknowingly stopped.

Then seeing Sun Chuantingce in a red official robe coming over immediately, behind him was a large group of staff, all of them covered in wind, frost, snow and rain, Feng Shikong hurriedly led all the officials forward, and said loudly: "Your officer is waiting to welcome Sun The Governor is coming... Sun... Sun..."

But seeing Sun Chuanting's two thick and high eyebrows raised, his sharp eyes swept over, he waved his horsewhip, and pointed: "Go to the city."

Immediately squeezed out Feng Shikong's words, seeing Sun Chuanting riding his horse over on his own, Feng Shikong and all the officials looked at each other, Feng Shikong said: "...enter... let's all go to the city."

In order to welcome Sun Chuanting, the main road to Gulou Street had already been cleared away. The dense army of yamen soldiers blocked them and drove the people to the sides. When they saw Sun Chuanting's army and horses coming in, all armored cavalry, with dense banners and frightening momentum, everyone was horrified. .

They asked each other in low voices, when did Sun Du's Supervision Battalion have such an elite team?
Seeing the continuous flow of soldiers and horses passing by, many people were either happy or worried.

Soon, all the officials entered the Governor's Yamen, which was located in the south of the Drum Tower, and the Governor's Yamen was located in the north of the Drum Tower, and the two departments faced each other from north to south.

The area of ​​the Drum Tower is still an important place for Xi'an government offices. In the north of the Drum Tower, there is the "Du Chao Yuan", in the northwest there is the "Xun Yan Procuratorate", in the southwest is the "Jian Cha Division", in the southeast of the Drum Tower is "Xi'an Mansion", and in the east is the "Bu There are also government offices such as the "Food and Road Administration" and the "Commissioner's Office" on the east side of the street.

Entering this ancient and mighty place, after all the officials visited, Feng Shi Kong Nianxu smiled and said: "Your Excellency has come from a long distance, and the saddle horse has been exhausted all the way. The lower officials have already prepared a light banquet with all your colleagues, and I just wait to clean up the dust for Your Excellency. The new generation of the state team in Xi'an, I heard that they are quite famous in the hometown of the adults, and they are hired by the officials with a lot of money..."

Sun Chuanting hummed, and said calmly, "Master Feng is here."

He said: "I'm here today, all the officials will step down, and Mr. Feng will stay."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't dare to say more, they all retreated on tiptoe, only Feng Shikong sat a little at a loss.

Sun Chuanting stood up and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back. He saw a bow on the wall, which was as strong as a stone. He took it off casually, pulled it for a full moon, and put it back again. He said calmly, "Where is He Renlong now?" ?”

Feng Shikong was startled, and said: "At this time, we are in Xianyang."

He said: "Wang Du died. Congratulations to Renlong, who seized his post and took the crime into consideration. He stayed in Xianyang for a long time to prepare for disasters at dawn and night. My lord said: "Renlong Chen, an old general, is willing to forgive his crimes, so that his subordinates can take care of themselves." Effect. The Holy One promised that people and dragons will be at ease, and they are no longer prepared for dawn and night..."

He was a little surprised: "What does your lord mean?"

With an icy smile on the corner of Sun Chuanting's mouth, he said: "He Renlong's family is in Mizhi, and most of his clans are among thieves, so the governor can't take it lightly, and let him pretend. Does he think he can escape?" National law sanctions?"

His expression was even colder: "When the county returned home, the enemy abandoned the commander and collapsed first, resulting in the death of the second governor. Are we waiting for him to abandon me and end up like Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian?"

He shouted: "He is my old department, how can we tolerate him?"

Feng Shikong was even more shocked: "What does your lord mean?"

Sun Chuanting said coldly: "There is a secret decree from the Holy Spirit to punish the congratulatory dragon! This governor has long wanted to do this!"

Feng Shikong almost jumped up: "Zhuhe Renlong? This matter is no small matter!"

He said: "He Renlong is the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, and he lived in the same town as Li Zicheng. I have also made great achievements in defeating bandits, I miss him... I miss him..."

Sun Chuanting sternly said: "What do you think? Gu Nian, the three calls will not come, the soldiers will return to the west, and the commander will be defeated first? Running away again and again makes the state affairs more and more unmanageable. If this generation does not die, who will die?"

He said bitterly: "These rat warlords, relying on having some soldiers, put their selfishness at the top of their hearts. They regard the affairs of the country as trivial matters, thinking that they dare not kill him because they have soldiers in their hands? Are you safe and sound?"

He said coldly: "This governor wants to enumerate his crimes in front of all the generals, tie up the congratulations and kill them, so as to serve as an example to others!"

He further said: "I only hate that Zuo Liangyu is not under my rule! How many Ming soldiers were killed in the battle of Zhuxian Town? If it is in Shaanxi, the governor will kill him along with him!"
