Chapter 118: Kaiping

Not long after the first month of the thirtieth year of Hongwu, Gao Chi was going to leave again, this time Zhang Zhaohua was very unhappy, the two of them were lying on the bed, obviously Gao Chi was about to fall asleep, but he was disturbed by her and woke up.

"Don't sleep," Zhang Zhaohua didn't want him to sleep, so he put his hand into the brocade quilt and squeaked at his itch: "I still have something to ask you." ”

"You say," Gao Chi really couldn't bear the itch, twisted in the quilt, opened and closed his eyes, "I'm listening." ”

"Look at you last year, you were busy with spring ploughing, busy with Tunwei, and stayed at home for a few months," Zhang Zhaohua said: "The New Year has just passed the New Year, and you are leaving again, what is there to supervise in this spring ploughing, oh, you have to urge those officials to release the seeds, you don't take the opportunity to play slippery and lazy when you are not in them, I think Gao Xu Gao Sui went the same, you don't go this year, just ask them to go." ”

"I'm not going, I'm going to call Gao Xue and Gao Sui," Gao Chi said with a smile: "Then how do I settle down?"

"You just stay at home, you can't do it with your legs," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Can you compare yourself with Gao Xu and Gao Sui? Let's just talk about walking and riding horses, what is it for the two of them to walk dozens of miles a day, can you walk so much a day? You try your best to follow, and it is also a drag on the two of them, without you to follow, maybe they will come back in half a month, and people will walk fast!"

Gao Chi didn't shy away from his legs and feet, but said: "Gao Xu and Gao Sui are not gentle people, and the officials are just the same, and when they meet the little official, they will be whipped and beaten if they say a few disagreements, can this work?"

"Yo, I believe Gao Xu beating people," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Gao Sui will also beat people with this temperament?" You ask the girls in this mansion, where do you want to serve the most, they all say that they want to go to the courtyard of the third prince, Gao Sui pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade on weekdays, and none of the people who serve around him have been punished, and they have not even done heavy work, they are all done by the eunuchs who shouted - Speaking of which, I also want to ask you, why Gao Sui has five or six eunuchs around him, you are only one Wang An before and after, I asked you to transfer a useful eunuch for me, you can't find it. ”

"There are a lot of people serving around Gao Sui, not only eunuchs, but even palace maids are twice as many as elsewhere, and you don't see it," Gao Chi said: "He also needs to use people there, these people are all looking for him all over the ground in the spring and summer, and in the back garden, you see that as long as he bows down to look for something, he is designated to look for insects." ”

Zhang Zhaohua smiled: "I'll just say, you go to the farmland for spring ploughing, you and Gao Xu may still be busy with serious things, Gao Sui is worried about his insects, and he doesn't ask about the seedlings or the soil, just ask where there are insects, which is true." ”

"It's not like you said, we're all busy with business. Gao Chi turned over, put his underwear up and asked Zhang Zhaohua to scratch his back: "Scratch and scratch the itch for me, I itch all over my body when I mention spring ploughing, I am afraid of the little flying insects in the field, the plaster you brought me last time will bring a little more this time, it is not enough." ”

"I think that the insect will bite your face at most, bite your arms and legs, who knows that even the meat in your clothes can bite," Zhang Zhaohua stretched out his hand and stung him indiscriminately on his back: "Your skin is good, the bag that was bitten all over the body didn't leave a little chin." ”

Gao Chi was caught comfortably, his eyelids drooped down as if he was going to sleep, Zhang Zhaohua grabbed two handfuls and said: "I told you to stir up the ground and almost forgot what I wanted to ask, you are ploughing this time, or those places, how many can you come back this time?" Although he complained that he would not let him go, Zhang Zhaohua knew that it was inevitable that he would go, and it could only be a matter of time.

"Hey-you light," Gao Chi said: "I really asked you to ask, I won't go to Wanping Daxing this time, and I won't go to Zhigu, I'm going to Kaiping." ”

"Didn't you just come back from there?" Zhang Zhaohua said, "Why do you want to go again!"

"That's different," Gao Chi said: "Last year, I went to see the Tunwei, not only to see the Kaiping Tunwei, but also to see the front and back of the left and right guards around Beiping, and the delay was long." I went to Kaiping this year to take care of Ma Zheng. ”

On the fifth day of August in the 29th year of Hongwu, Zhongtun Wei was set up in Kaiping. Now the Beiping border guard is the left guard in the Liuhe camp, the right guard in the military platform, the front guard in the side ridge, and the rear guard in the stone tower.

"Ma Zheng," Zhang Zhaohua said, "What is Ma Zheng?"

"Ma Zheng is the government of raising horses," Gao Chi lay on his back and patted his belly: "At the beginning, these military horses were raised by the herdsmen, but now they are not dismissed, and they are said to be raised by the division, but you think, this horse is nominally under the management of the Jingshi Taifu Temple, but in fact it belongs to the local envoy, and the jurisdiction is very inconvenient, so the new policy that just came down on the 14th day of the first month of this year is said to be in Shanxi, Beiping, Shaanxi, Gansu, Liaodong placed the Taifu Temple, in order to take charge of the horse government, the official office of the Taifu Temple is located in Beiping, but in fact, it is impossible to raise horses in Beiping City, tens of thousands of military horses, just choose a place, Kaiping. ”

"It seems that Kaiping is a big place," Zhang Zhaohua said: "I want to have both a military camp and a horse, where is that place, you tell me, I'm confused now, I stay in the palace every day, and I haven't even taken a good look at Beiping, let alone go to other places to play in Beiping." ”

This is Zhang Zhaohua's resentment, she has become the princess of this world, and her body is also limited, and Beiping City is just that, if you say that you go out of the city, then it generally can't be a micro-service, you can only move the public, even if it is a micro-service, this accommodation and safety issue is also very troublesome, just like the last time she went out of Tanzhe Temple, it was also out in the morning and hurried back in the evening.

She couldn't go to see the places under the rule of King Yan, so she listened to Gao Chi, and even Meng Dai guessed the places that corresponded to the cities and counties in her previous life, for example, when Gao Chi told her about the geographical location of Kaiping, she felt like Tangshan.

If it was really Tangshan, Zhang Zhaohua turned it over: "Kaiping is a treasure land! There is coal underground, and coal kilns can be opened! Dig wells, burn lime, and burn kilns, what are horses raised in that place!"

"Nonsense," Gao Chi said: "Where is the coal? Kaiping is an earthen fort, after the establishment of the Zhongtun Guard, more than 5,000 soldiers will be moved over, and the commander of the embassy is still thinking about whether to rebuild the earthen fort, that place is only populated this year, it is regarded as a traffic artery in and out of Shanhaiguan and Beiping, where the troops are stationed to build a fortress to resist external troubles is true." ”

Zhang Zhaohua pestered him crookedly: "Is there coal there, you can talk about it after you see it." Gao Chi couldn't help being entangled by her, so she promised her that after she went to Kaiping, she would explore the ground first to see if there was coal.

"The previous military horses in Beiping were all transferred from the Northwest Guard, and the two Taifu Temples in Shaanxi and Gansu were just that," Zhang Zhaohua also keenly discovered the political purpose of establishing the Taifu Temple: "But according to what you said, this year in Shanxi and Beiping have added the Taifu Temple, why is this?"

"Think about it, what is Shaanxi like now?" Gao Chi said slowly.

Zhang Zhaohua suddenly realized that at this time last year, Gao Fu Xingxing, a county clerk in Weixian County, Shaanxi, joined forces with Tian Jiucheng, a Qiang monk from Yunwu Temple at the southern foothills, and farmers Huang Jingangnu and He Miaoshun to organize the masses with the White Lotus Sect as the call and rise up. Tian Jiucheng called himself "Emperor of the Han Dynasty", Gao Fuxing called "Maitreya Buddha", and Huang Gangnu and He Miaoshun were all called "Heavenly Kings". At that time, there was a famine in Shaanxi for many years, and the victims from all over the world responded and came to flee. The rebel forces soon expanded to Yangping Pass, and then the imperial court urgently ordered Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, and Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, to lead troops to suppress them day and night, and they were immediately exterminated.

But I didn't expect that when this uprising pursued the first evil, he escaped a Gao Fuxing, who launched a rebellion again on the twelfth day of the first month of this year, gathering more than 1,000 people in Houhe and Tumen in Chuxian County, and the people of Shaanxi and Shu responded successively. Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying had just returned from their squad and sent troops to Shaanxi again.
