Zhang Jun looks like he is in his twenties, his skin is wheat-colored, giving people a sense of health and sunshine, he is of medium stature, his appearance is mediocre, and he has a face that is difficult to find in the crowd.

Lin Haoran felt familiar as soon as he met Zhang Junzhao, and at this time, he had indeed seen this person, so he responded honestly: "It does seem familiar, but this official doesn't remember where he has seen you!" ”

Zhang Jun's eyes were dazzled, but he knelt down again and said: "My lord helped my wife Liu's Zhaoxue and helped my mother bring the murderer to justice, the villain has always kept his kindness in mind!" ”

When Lin Haoran heard these words, he finally remembered this period of the past.

During his tenure as the governor of Shuncheonfu, he once tried an ethical case of a daughter-in-law who burned charcoal and murdered her in-laws. After his scrutiny, he slowly restored the whole truth of the matter, rehabilitated his daughter-in-law Liu, and brought Huang Langzhong, the initiator, to justice.

In that case, he remembered that Liu's husband was indeed a small leader of the border army, but he didn't want to meet him here now.

He has always been proud of his ability to recognize people, and then he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pat his forehead, and said with a sudden realization: "The official remembers, my sister said that the Liu family also added a white fat boy to you!" ”

"That time, Miss Lin helped me, otherwise my wife and children would not be safe! But I don't know, Miss Lin is okay now? Zhang Jun knocked heavily again, and asked sincerely.

Lin Haoran looked up at the southern sky, and muttered to himself: "It should be fine!" ”

He is now the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Hu Niu is the Nanyang Patrol, and he is on the territory of Guangdong, where he has the most influence. In the entire Guangdong region, I am afraid that the new governor of Liangguang will also sell her some face, let alone dare to bully her.

Zhang Jun nodded heavily, remembering the kindness of these two brothers and sisters in his heart, otherwise he would not have withstood so much pressure just now and led his brothers out of the city at the risk of death.

Lin Haoran didn't have too much sentimentality, and reached out to help Zhang Jun up from the ground and said, "One thing is one thing!" Today, this official asks for credit for you, not only for you, but for a fair, for the sake of the future, there will be Ming soldiers willing to stand up and fight to defend the country! ”

Although the erosion of the Ming border army is an important reason, but more importantly, military merit has become the patent of related households, which makes many soldiers who fought bloody battles chill.

Now he wants the Ming army to be reinvigorated and wants to eliminate the Mongolian cavalry that entered the pass in a dignified manner, so he needs to give Zhang Jun and others fair treatment, and even more so to convey his attitude towards military merits to all border troops.

"Lord Lin, please think carefully, this Fan Shen will be Governor Yang's person!" Zhang Jun's heart was very moved, but he stood up from the ground and reminded in a low voice.

Lin Haoran was not surprised by this, seeing Zhang Jun thinking about himself so much, he responded disdainfully: "Even if he is Yang Bo's person, this official will help you and your subordinates fight for this credit, you can rest assured!" ”

Xu Jie could not interfere in military affairs in order to disturb Yang Bo, but he had no scruples in this regard. If Yang Bo had Hu Zongxian's skills, he would be willing to save some face for Yang Bo, but Yang Bo is not as famous as meeting after all.

In terms of defending the city, Yang Bo does have talent, but that's all. On the contrary, during his tenure as the governor of the border army and the secretary of the military department, he adopted a set of cronyism, so that most of the soldiers of the border army were his cronies.

Now creating this seemingly peaceful situation may be a credit in Jiajing's eyes, but in his eyes, it is not bullshit.

It is precisely like this, he has neither fear nor respect for Yang Bo, if he wants to change this situation, how can he have scruples just because Fan Jian is the governor of Jiliao?

"On behalf of the many brothers under his hands, thank you for the love of Lord Ministry!" Only then did Zhang Jun realize that the person in front of him was no longer the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, but the high Servant of the Ministry of Rites knelt down again and kowtowed three times.

Lin Haoran also valued Zhang Jun, so he admonished him in a straight manner: "You also see today's situation, there are only a thousand Tartars outside, but our more than 30,000 soldiers only dare to defend the city!" I hope that you can maintain this heart of defending your home and country in the future, and dare to lead your troops to fight in the face of the Mongolian cavalry, so that our people will not be slaughtered by the Tartars again. If you can keep your heart, if you have any difficulties in the army in the future, you can come to this officer! ”

"The last general will obey the teachings of the adults!" Zhang Jun's heart was hot, and he immediately solemnly bowed his hand.

He didn't want to defend his family and country, but there were too many chilling things in the army. Like today, if it weren't for Lin Haoran's impartial heart, they might have become victims when they left the city, and the credit would have to be taken by the generals and commanders above, and then it would be his turn to be a thousand households, and the brothers under him would probably be completely lost.

After a while, the generals below cleaned up the battlefield and counted the number of Mongol corpses and captured booty. To a slight surprise, they shot a total of 129 Mongol cavalrymen.

This may not seem like a lot, but it is actually a rare victory in recent years.

After learning of this result, the entire Tongzhou City swept away the previous haze, and many sergeants cheered at it, with a kind of cheerfulness and exuberance.

"But I don't know who is so heroic?"

"No matter who is brave, I think we should all thank Lin Qingtian!"

"Yes, if it weren't for Lin Qingtian to open the city gate for us, I'm afraid the old body would be cut down by the Tartars!"

……

Many people were also very excited when they learned of the victory at the North Gate, but unlike those soldiers, they were still discussing Lin Haoran. In particular, the thousands of people who followed Lin Haoran into the city from the east gate and the group of old and young women and children who had just escaped death have become Lin Haoran's supporters.

On this ordinary day, Lin Qingtian's name spread throughout Tongzhou City, and the people of Tongzhou City already recognized Lin Qingtian's name even more.

Although the scouts had already figured out that the Mongol cavalry had moved away, martial law was still imposed on the city of Tongzhou.

In view of Lin Haoran's love for the people, in the face of the thousands of people gathered at the West City Gate, the generals of the West City Gate also opened the city gate after asking for instructions and let the people outside enter the city.

Lin Haoran learned that the Mongol cavalry had fled north, and his original intention was to return to the capital immediately. It's just that when he learned that the capital was still under martial law, he had to dispel this idea, and he, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, didn't have so much face to let the gates of Beijing open for him.

There are many yamen related to Cao Yun in Tongzhou City, such as the Office of the Grain Department, the Office of the Patrol Warehouse and the Office of the Patrol Office, and many other offices, but Lin Haoran chose to live directly in the Yamen of Tongzhou.

Another day later, Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, came to Tongzhou City with tens of thousands of border troops from Jizhen.

According to the custom, this group of border troops carried the banner of clearing the Tartars, but in essence they followed the Mongolian cavalry behind. Just came to Tongzhou City and learned that one hundred and twenty-nine Mongolian cavalry had been killed here, and the whole person was immediately stunned.

When he learned the whole story of the battle and determined that Tongzhou City did not lie about his war exploits this time, Yang Xuan's eyes flashed with excitement, and an excellent idea came to life.
