Worry about the border troops inside the Pass

Inside Dongyun Building,

The atmosphere seemed a bit dull.

Mrs. Wang's face was a little gloomy, and Zhang Jinyu was silent. After all, her original so-called father only had a vague memory and only knew that he was very strict. Secondly, Blue Star was just an orphan and naturally didn't know what a father's love was.

"Mother, I will arrange it."

"Well, actually your father is a very ordinary person, but he is also very great."

When Mrs. Wang said this, she thought of the garrison general who received her at the border. He was an ordinary and simple man. If he hadn't come to the rescue when he first arrived, she and the brothers in the church would have been doomed. Although she didn't have much to do with him.

There are many feelings, but after so many years, the family affection is very strong. Unfortunately, the arrow wound recurred, and the golden sore burst and there was no way to save it.

Zhang Jinyu saw that her mother was a little sad, so she naturally knew it was because of her father, so she comforted her,

"Mom, I understand that we need to look forward in the future."

"Yes, we still need to look forward."

Wang Shihan wiped the corners of her eyes, straightened her clothes, then sat down and asked;

"Have arrangements been made for all the cities outside the Pass?"

"Going back to mother, all the arrangements have been made for the guards of the four cities and the guards of Hecheng. But what about the arrangements in the Hou Mansion?"

After Mrs. Wang heard about this, she made arrangements very simply.

"Lan Yue'er and Lan Shu'er led a group of maids to follow us, and then asked the old guard Zhang Qi to lead 500 guards to stay at the Hou Mansion, and asked the deputy guard chief Wei Yong to lead the remaining 500 people to follow us to the Hou Mansion in the capital. They will stay at the Hou Mansion in the future.

That’s it.”

After hearing her mother's arrangement, Zhang Jinyu was a little confused. Why not bring more guards? The Hou Mansion can bring thousands of guards.

"Mother, why don't you bring all the guards? I heard that the capital is not stable."

Mrs. Wang shook her head. There is still a huge sum of money downstairs, so don't look at it. You can't talk about it now.

"Silly, this is the capital, there is no need for so many guards. Besides, other families only have half of the number of guards stipulated by the imperial court at most. You should not stand out and keep a low profile in the capital."

After listening to this, Zhang Jinyu understood that it was better to be careful with the court. It is true that just a few people would not make a big difference. If there were less than 10,000 people, they would only deliver food.

"Now that we know mother, do we need to bring anything else, or should we keep everything simple?"

Mrs. Wang and the two girls looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. Mrs. Wang asked in reply;

"What do you think?"

Zhang Jinyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Isn't this meant to be low-key?

"Don't keep a low profile, keep everything simple."

Lan Yue'er couldn't help but chuckle,

"Mr. Lang, you can't miss this. Bring more things back to the capital with a big fanfare. Get more furs, ginseng, deer antlers and specialties from overseas."

"Why."

Lan Shuer then said,

"What Madam wants is to let the distinguished families in the capital see the strength of the Hou Mansion, and Madam also wants to bring 1 million taels of cash back to Beijing."

Zhang Jinyu was speechless after hearing this. What is this called? If wealth does not return to its hometown like a night march in brocade, then the number of people will not be enough, and 50,000 war horses have to be escorted. Thinking of this gave Ning Yuan a headache, so Ning Yuan took the rest of the old camp with him.

10,000 people were escorted to the pass. It turns out that the border troops in the pass are the bandits. Those border troops don't want to rob them when they see them.

"I know, I will make arrangements. Mothers, also have a good rest."

Zhang Jinyu bid farewell to the three of them and returned to the front hall. Seeing that Ning Bian was still there handing over the secret guard to Ning Yuan, he interrupted,

"You two, wait a moment. The escort may not be enough this time. I want to mobilize 5,000 people from the old camp to go together. Who do you think is suitable to lead the army?"

Ning Bian was a little strange and asked why he wanted to add more people. Zhang Jinyu explained the matter of transporting war horses and the reason for the long distance and weak guards. After hearing this, Ning Bian immediately thought of the border troops, who were going crazy because of poverty.

People are afraid of something happening.

"The Marquis is worried about the border troops in the pass."

"Yes, don't be afraid outside the customs. We don't have the final say inside the customs. If there is a conflict, I won't be soft-hearted. I'm just afraid that less people will suffer."

"Then the Marquis should let Duan Hong lead the five thousand troops of the old camp to follow."

Ningbian suggested that Duan Hong, the general of the old camp, lead the army. He was a very stable middle-aged man, loyal, careful, mature and prudent.

"Well, I know him. He is a mature and prudent general. Well, that's him."

"There is an ancestor worship tomorrow, please make arrangements first."

"It's Mr. Hou."

Beijing,

Ministry of War,

Zhao Jingwu, the minister of the Ministry of War, was on duty in the pavilion of the Ministry of War, and suddenly said to the minister of war, Wei Zhanying;

"Zhanying, did you say that the border troops have received orders from the Ministry of War?"

"It's almost time to go back to the pavilion, Mr. Lao. They all have urgent matters to leave for the Imperial City."

Hearing Wei Zhanying's response, Mr. Zhao Ge fell silent again. This was a test. Although it had no effect, it was the first step after all. Civil servants, soldiers, and generals worked hard. It was really a difficult problem. Those nobles just couldn't get past it.

Even in the mountains, the emperor did not dare to force him. What did those new literati think? They still wanted to seize military power.

Wei Zhanying stood there without moving away, knowing that what Ge Lao was thinking about was something unexplainable. Civil servants wanted to seize power, nobles also wanted to seize power, the emperor also wanted to seize power, the Supreme Emperor also wanted to do it, and the governors of those places wanted even more,

Dawu's pool is getting deeper and deeper now, and if you accidentally fall in, you won't be able to get back up.

"There's no need to worry, Mr. Pavilion. Just take care of your health. We at the Ministry of War will cooperate. Those civil servants don't know the dangers involved. If the trouble continues, I think this matter should be discussed in the long term."

Zhao Jingwu also nodded after hearing this.

"Zhan Ying is right. We haven't taken over the power of the court yet. We are still thinking about military power and dreaming about it. We make the decision ourselves on this matter. If they have ideas, they can do it themselves. Dawu cannot be in chaos."

"The teacher knows his lesson well, and the students admire him!"

Wei Zhanying admired him and said, Mr. Ge is still very sober, which is a great blessing for Wu.

But Zhao Jingwu smiled bitterly and laughed at himself;

"Where is my clear warning? I was forced to do so. There are so many Jiedu envoys in various places in Dawu, so many nobles, and military power are all in their hands. They range from thousands to tens of thousands. They are all local emperors. Who do you think the court will move?

suitable."

"Then why doesn't Mr. Ge continue to reduce the vassal status?"

"It's not impossible, it's impossible. We just deposed the two kings a few years ago, and the turmoil has lasted so long. Too much is too much! Now the remaining ones are all powerful factions. It's easy to say that there are troops stationed in the pass. Those border troops and the remaining two kings have ulterior motives.

, which one is not ambitious, although it is not shown now, but the next generation will be."

"Well, teacher, this is not something we can change. Everyone above and below has selfish motives, not to mention our own and civil servants' selfish motives are even more important, so why talk about others."

Wei Zhanying was also very depressed. This matter is beyond our control.

Zhao Ge, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, also looked sad there. Although the Dawu frontier army was dead and there were not even three out of ten, these three had eight percent of their original combat power. They should not be underestimated. Those poor and ruffian soldiers were unruly and unruly, everywhere.

If you cause trouble, the capital will be in chaos for a while. It's not good for the security of the capital.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao Ge quickly asked;

"How are the arrangements for the border troops coming to the capital?"

Wei Zhanying was a little puzzled as to why the border troops were suddenly involved, so he replied;

"Back to Ge Lao, according to the previous arrangement, we will be stationed in the Jingying camp next to Anhu outside the city."

Zhao Jingwu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He quickly took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote down the order. Wei Zhanying looked over and saw that he was ordering the people from the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities and the Imperial City Division to strengthen the city gate guards to prevent border crossings.

If the military causes trouble, any violators will be arrested pending trial.

Seeing such a warrant, Wei Zhanying was a little confused. What did it mean?

"Mr. Ge, why is this? They are all military officers, so there may be something wrong with them."

Mr. Zhao Ge sighed and couldn't bear to explain.

"I don't want to either. But think about those poor people who come to prosperous places in the capital, especially brothels. What do you think will happen?"

After hearing this, Wei Zhanying immediately understood the intention of Mr. Ge, and without any hesitation, he took his warrant and went to the Military and Horse Department. Just as he was about to leave, Mr. Ge stopped him.

"Zhan Ying told He Yongxi, the commander of the Military and Horse Division, that we must be optimistic about the capital, or get out. I must read his book."

"Understood, Mr. Ge, I'm going."

After Wei Zhanying left, Mr. Zhao Ge thought about what other omissions he had made. Basically, they were gone. He was mainly worried about the border troops. Those guys were unable to get in, so every step was taken one step at a time.

Wei Zhanying also hurriedly hurriedly and came to deliver the order in person. After all, the safety of the capital came first, and the order was issued by the Ministry of War. If something happened, the Ministry of War would not be human inside or outside.

When he arrived at the Bingma Si Yamen, he rushed in. When the concierge saw that he was the minister of the Ministry of War, he swallowed and did not dare to speak. He Yongxi had already been drinking tea and listening to music in the Yamen. He was so happy every day that he heard a "bang" sound.

He Yongxi was startled when the door was opened. Just when he was about to curse, he saw Wei Zhanying, the Minister of War, coming in person.

He stood up quickly to say hello,

"It turns out it's Mr. Wei. It's polite to serve as a subordinate. Why do I need you to come in person?"

"Master He Yongxi is very leisurely. He is having a good time. Let's call it a day. Let's take over the order."

Wei Zhanying handed over the order, and He Yongxi took it and looked at it, restricting the border troops from entering the capital, and arresting the troublemakers on the spot. He Yongxi immediately grimaced after reading this, what should he do?
