Brocade legend

Chapter 85 Datong
Chen Hong said with a slightly sarcastic expression: "What else do you have in mind?"

Zhang Modao: "Actually, we have almost dealt with the testimonials in the Northland. It's just that someone from Fang Xianfu ran away. That is to say, there is no direct evidence that can prove that it is the horse market organized by you, Governor. In the case of Governor, As long as there is no direct evidence for the position in the emperor's heart, there is still room for maneuver. At that time, as long as a few scapegoats are thrown out, and the governor will go to the emperor to plead guilty, he will definitely be able to deal with it. At that time, we can make a long-term plan. After all, Lu Bing has not returned to Beijing, so the testimony and the situation still have a chance to change."

When Chen Hong heard this, his heart moved, but he still sneered and said, "Okay, I will trust you one more time. If you miss again this time, hum, the first scapegoat is you!"

Zhang Mo cupped his hands, bowed his head and said yes, but his thoughts turned quickly.

Zhang Mo was frequently active in Beijing, building a network everywhere, just waiting for Lu Bing to return to Beijing.

Of course Lu Bing didn't know that Zhang Mo was waiting in Beijing, and even if he knew, he wouldn't be afraid at all.

At this time, he has entered the boundary of Shanxi and is heading for Datong.

He has been paying attention to the movement of Zhu Liu, and he is listening to the people sent by Zhu Liu to report on the current situation of Xuanfu.

Lu Bing listened to the report and said: "Tell Zhu Liu, don't affect the capital first, and leave it to the emperor to decide whether to go or stay with the various forces in the capital. He only needs to collect enough evidence for the emperor to use." Yes. In addition, for the forces in Xuanfu, Shanxi and other places, anyone who participates and rebels wantonly will be shot to death, and will not be tolerated. For those who are more cooperative, save their lives and make another decision when the situation calms down."

The visitor nodded in response, and Lu Bing waved him to go down first.

At the same time, Li Jin came to ask for an interview and brought the latest Datong military situation.

After Li Jin saluted, Lu Bing asked him to sit down and said.

Li Jin found a seat for the lower head, sat down, and said: "The information shows that a few days ago, there was indeed a Mongolian army, probably thousands of people, who attacked Datong. After burning, killing and looting the surrounding area, it has disappeared. Traces. On the surface, it looks like ordinary threshing grass. But according to the intelligence analysis of the adults, we feel that the little prince should be upset that the horse market was destroyed, so he sent people to vent his anger and rob some things by the way."

Lu Bing looked away and said, "It won't be that simple. There are indications that this won't be just a single incident."

Li Jin nodded and said: "The lower officials also feel this way, but now that group of Mongols have disappeared. If they were withdrawn to the grassland, they would really be lost."

Lu Bing thought for a while and said, "Expand the scope of the ranger's investigation and find the clues of this group of Mongolians as soon as possible. I don't think they will just retreat."

Li Jin took the order, and Lu Bing said again: "We must rush to Datong to prevent the Mongols from coming again. Even if the Mongols really withdraw, we must take down those officials who neglected their duties and give them to the people of Datong. An explanation!"

With this order, the marching speed increased again, and they arrived in Datong soon.

But when Lu Bing and others entered Datong Army Town, they got a piece of news that made Lu Bing very angry.

Datong Army Town refused the entry of the Xuanfu army. If the imperial envoy wants to enter the city, he can, but the Xuanfu army must return to Xuanfu.

Lu Bing knows all the tricks inside.At the same time, I feel frightened by the corruption and corruption of the military town on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.

The duties of Jin Yiwei are "directly driving guards, patrolling and arresting", and they have the right to patrol the world for the emperor.But since the establishment of the East Factory, the emperor put the close eunuchs in charge, and even had the right to monitor Jinyiwei.Since then, Jin Yiwei's control over the world has become weaker and weaker.

Now the important town of Nine Frontiers was supposed to be the emperor's shepherd's side, but now it is riddled with holes. Lu Bing is heartbroken, for Jinyiwei, for the emperor, and for the world!
During the Hongzhi period, in order to resist the remnants of Mongolia, nine military towns were successively established along the Great Wall defense line on the northern border, namely Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town, Yulin Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town, Gansu Town.

Daming was the world of Han people who had been taken back from Yuanmeng, so they were very wary of Mongolia. In the Yongle year, the capital was moved to Beijing, precisely to guard the gate of the country with the emperor.

The Nine Army Town was established for the emperor Mubian.

Today, the Nine Frontiers Town, which once shocked the grasslands, is like a fake.

From time to time, the Mongols came to thresh grain and grass, but the officers and soldiers of the military town could only hide in the city, watching the Mongols drive straight in, burning, killing and looting under their noses.

It even appeared that a few Mongols came to plunder because of their own selfish desires, and they frightened the Ming frontier army not to leave the city.

Lu Bing knew what the officers and soldiers of the military town were thinking.

As long as the military town is not lost, there is no need to report to the court, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so they can continue to be promoted and make a fortune silently.

This time, an imperial envoy came to help, and I don't know how many officers and soldiers in Datong secretly scolded Lu Bing in their hearts for meddling in his own business.

Lu Bing was furious and ordered to deploy at the gate of Datong Town. After calling Li Jin, he learned that the governor of Datong was called Wang Dayong, and the name of the general was Peng Yin. general.

Li Jin asked Lu Bing if he wanted to attack the city. Lu Bing thought for a while and asked Li Jin to put on a siege posture.He also selected ten soldiers with loud voices and shouted under the city: "Anyone who assists in defending the city will be punished as treason, and everyone will be executed after breaking the city."

Lu Bing did not believe that the officers and soldiers in Datong Town really dared to treason.

The soldiers on the top of the wall were flustered after hearing the shout, and after a while they saw a man showing his head, Li Jin whispered: "This man is the chief soldier Peng Yin.

Peng Min stretched his head to look down the city, and shouted, "Is the imperial envoy down here?"

Li Jin glanced at Lu Bing, saw that Lu Bing didn't express anything, and replied loudly instead of Lu Bing: "That's right, this is the imperial envoy Mr. Lu! Li Jin, the deputy general of Xuanfu!"

Peng Min turned his head and said a few words to someone, then he ran down a basket tied with a hemp rope from the wall, and continued: "Please forgive me, my lord, now that the Mongols are plundering the border, I have to be careful. Please put the identifying paperwork in the basket."

Lu Bing nodded to Xue Yang, Xue Yang took out a yellow cloth bag from the saddle and put it in the basket.

Li Jin saw a sneer on Lu Bing's expression, and couldn't help shivering.

The basket was quickly lifted up by the city people.

After coming over for a while, that Peng Min showed his head again, and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, please forgive me! I will ask someone to open the door, but I also ask the friendly troops of the Xuan Mansion to retreat [-] miles. This is a military town after all. Didn't receive the notice of dispatching troops from the Ministry of War, the officials dare not let the friendly troops of the Xuan Mansion enter the city!

Lu Bing sneered, and said to Yang Sen beside him, "Shoot him down!
