In Ningyuan, Caozhuang in Zhongyoukou is the only place to go from Shanhaiguan to Liaoyang, so the Liaodong Dushi established a military post here, called Caozhuang Post.

The current postmaster is an old man named Niu. He was a servant of Ningyuan General in his early years. Later, when he was injured in the Mongolian Tartars, he asked the postmaster of the governor in Caozhuang Postmaster.

The postmaster has no rank and is also a low-level position. However, Caozhuang Post is located on a key road and welcomes many passing officials. Therefore, the supply of the Zhongyou Institute to Caozhuang Post is good. In addition, Caozhuang Post itself has subsidized 100 acres of land, so Lao Niutou has been living in Caozhuang Post in the past twenty years.

Fifteen years ago, he married a beautiful girl from Caozhuang and gave birth to five children one after another, including three men and two women, making the old cow head so happy that he couldn't stop.

However, a few days ago, Lao Niu was a little depressed after coming back from the garage office and was absent-minded in anything he did. He didn't say anything about his wife.

Why Lao Niu is like this is because when he went to the garrison, he heard from the Hundred Houses that the General Manager of Chenyang was preparing to abolish the garrisons under the Liaodong Dusi, and the military posts under the jurisdiction of each garrison were also required.

This means that Lao Niu may lose the position of Caozhuang Yicheng.

"If Mahjong dies, don't talk about you, Lao Niu, even our group of people will not be favored." The hundred households and Lao Niu understood that they are now as unpopular as babies without mothers.

Mahjong is talking about the former Ginsang General Ningyuan, who was killed in the battle with Shanhaiguan General Ma Lin at the beginning of the year.

Seeing that the hundreds of households were frowning at their own way out, what else could Lao Niu say, and he could only return to the inn in unhappy manner.

Once the emperor and the ministers, this is nothing wrong. In the past, the Mahjong could take care of their old brothers, but now the Mahjong is gone, who else can think of him, a disabled old cow, in his heart?

Baihu said that the new military system of the government officials and officials did not understand. Anyway, he knew that most of the officers and soldiers of Liao Town, including Mahjong, died in Jianzhou, so whoever has strong soldiers can become the home of Liao Town.

The specific method of sacking was not clearly stated, but when Lao Niu left the ward, he saw a few guys wearing big cotton jackets, big caps and white legs arguing with Lao Liu, the ward custody in charge of the ward.

Judging from Liu Zhenfu's flushed face, it was obvious that the so-called imperial army, who claimed to be in charge of the yamen, did not give anything good to the garrison.

The ward has indeed been a bit unreasonable over the years. To be able to fight, it is just a lie to open your eyes and help farm.

No one expected that the garrison and other people could even sell their lives for the court, but who would have thought that tens of thousands of officers and soldiers would just call them Braided Soldiers and kill them.

Lao Niu couldn't figure it out. At this moment, he couldn't think of how Mahjong died, and how the hundreds of clerks in his hands were gone.

You can't think about it carefully, because the old bull's nose will become sore when he thinks about it carefully. None of the old bulls are familiar with those old bulls.

In the future, there is no way for old brothers to gather together during festivals and festivals.

In front of me, I have to take care of my family and the five children. The eldest child will have to ask for a wife in two years. If the job of the postmaster is gone, how can the old cow support the family and the young, and how can he ask for a wife?

What should I do if I follow this station with a few old guys who have been there for more than ten years?

Lao Niu was really worried, but now the Richmond Office has not specifically mentioned how to cancel the abolition, so he couldn't tell the people below, so he could only keep it in his heart.

This is also the reason why people are old. If they hear about this ten years ago, Lao Niu must have brought people to make trouble. The Baihuo also said that there are people from various garrisons coming to make trouble every day in the Chenyang Jingliuyi Yamen. I heard that there are gang members and guerrillas among the people who make trouble.

But nothing seemed to have happened. Lord Jingluo was an imperial envoy sent by the emperor in Liaodong. The soldiers were in charge, the officials were in charge, and the people were in charge, and the imperial army that defeated Jiannu was also in charge, and the civil and military officials in Liao Town dared to make trouble. Who would dare to really give Lord Jingluo a scene of mutiny at the gate?

There is no support in Liaodong now!

When the mutiny was closed ten years ago, the people of Liaodong were in a common mind. Eunuch Gao forced the personal income tax to be driven out of Shanhaiguan. The old man named Zhang who came later did not dare to settle the score in the future.

Why?

It is because the officers and soldiers of our Liao Town are united!

But now, there is no Liao Town.

Lao Niu felt sad. As soon as Taifu Li died, the Liao Town seemed to lose its energy. This time, he defeated Jiannu and then broke the entire Liao Town. What kind of imperial army is now the world of the imperial army? I heard that those imperial army still listened to a eunuch.

Tsk tsk, this is really a world of change. Even a eunuch can lead troops. Could it be that there will be no one in the court?

But even if it is abolition, it should not be cut to the station, right?

Lao Niu felt that the hundred households were a little worried. The post station was in charge of the carriages and horses. No matter in the local area or in the capital, how many officials would come and go every year. If there was no post station, these officials would eat and live in whatever they could. Do you want the flood road in the court? Without the post station, who would deliver the military information?

If it really wants to abolish Liao Town, it is mostly abolished garrisons that cannot fight, and the post station cannot move.

The more Lao Niu thought about it, the more he became, and was thinking about it. Wang San, the postman, came to say that people from the capital were going to stay in the post station, and he was holding a post from the Jinyiwei.

Lao Niu had something to do. Not to mention the Jinyiwei, he was too lazy to entertain even if he came from the Dongchang. He asked Wang Sanzi to arrange a residence for him.

When a monk hits a bell for a day, as long as he has not cut off his old cow and has not withdrawn the Caozhuang Post Office, they have to do their job well.

"Eunuch Liu, I think I'll stay here for one night tonight, and I'll be in Liaoyang City tomorrow."

Li Wei, the Jinyiwei, a household of the hundred families, respectfully helped the palace Eunuch Liu to carry his luggage from the carriage into the room, and then went out to ask the postman to get hot water to wash Eunuch Liu's feet.

This Eunuch Liu is Liu Shimin, the eunuch who wrote a letter in the Lijian study room of the Lijian study. This time he went out of seclusion, he was sent to Jianzhou to verify the number of relatives in the army so that the inner court could report to the emperor for reward.

Because there were no eunuchs in Liaodong, there was no eunuchs in charge of the custody of the custody of the inner court, the relevant documents such as the inner court were now sent directly to Chenyang, and then transferred to the eunuchs in Jianzhou from the Jingliuyi Office.

Liu Shimin was a little late to leave the customs. He should have left the customs last month, but if the Sili Supervisor Yin Sun felt that it was too urgent, it might make Jianzhou suspicious. In addition, the Ministry of Revenue could not provide the reward for the reward of Pingnu officers and soldiers, so the matter was delayed for a while.

Eunuch Sun was willing to allocate some silver from the inner treasury to reward his personal army. After all, the personal army belonged to the Imperial Horse Prison and was the soldiers of his inner court. However, the emperor was seriously ill. The eunuch in charge of the treasury did not dare to take out the silver without the emperor's instructions, so the matter was left unresolved.

When crossing Shanhaiguan, Liaodong tax envoy Zhang Ye held a banquet to entertain Liu Shimin and presented three hundred and twenty Chengyi according to the rules.

When Eunuch Zhang was appointed as the Tongwan Tax Envoy, he had a close relationship with Li Sancai of the Donglin Party. The two joined forces to develop land in Zhangjiawan and made a lot of money.

After the food was prepared at the post station, Li Wei handed the post to the post station to outline it, and tore off a piece of the post station's residence certificate he brought to the post station for accounting certificates. Then he went upstairs to invite Eunuch Liu to have a meal.

Eunuch Liu didn't talk much and liked to read books. He couldn't put it down all the time on the carriage. After dinner, he asked Li Wei and the others to rest.

The night soon became dark.

After reading the book for a while, Eunuch Liu fell asleep unconsciously. He sat down on the carriage for one day, even though he was not old, he was so tired.

There were no other guests in the inn. The postmen fed the horses and closed the door and rested. The old cow didn't stay at the inn. His house was only two miles away from the inn. He saw that he had nothing to do at night and went back early.

At about 3 o'clock in the morning, a figure walked to the gate of the station in the dark, then took off the door bolt and stood behind the door.

After about half of the incense stick, a team of strong men, obviously officers and soldiers, came in quietly.
