Chapter 113: Datong Sinners
As soon as the ten-mile valley came out, the vision in front of me was cheerful, and from a distance, there was a depressed winter scene, and the occasional cottage was dilapidated.
The convoy followed the northwest mountain side, towards the southwest Yanghe Mansion (Yanggao County), at this time the road is relatively flat, although the northwest side is a mountain, but the southeast side is an endless wilderness, plus at this time the sun is the warmest time of the day, Chang Yu on a whim, legs clamped, galloping horses, hunting.
Originally, the soldiers were tired after days of wind and frost, but seeing that he was so interested at this moment, he couldn't help but coax, followed Chang Yu to shoot his horse and hurry, shouting and rejoicing in the wilderness, especially Teng Xiangwei's gang, who was the best at riding and archery in the team, why didn't he stretch out his hand in front of Chang Yu when he got this opportunity.
Hit the horse and galloped, startled some prey, and then took a bow and shot an arrow, and his hand was captured, which provoked Chang Yu is all kinds of envy, all kinds of applause.
Wu Mengming was still lying lazily in the car, hearing the cheers outside, he reached out and opened the curtain of the car, looked at it for a while, and felt bored and lay down again.
At noon, after a carnival-style gallop, the team unknowingly arrived at the city of Yanghefu, and even hunted birds and beasts, and the harvest was full.
Chang Yu ordered the team to rest and let the family cook as soon as possible, and of course the game should also be grilled to improve the food.
Wu Mengming finally got out of the car, the carriage was galloping, and the bumps in the car were not much better than riding a horse, he rubbed his waist vigorously, made a few stretches, looked at the direction of Yanghe Mansion, and glanced at Chang Yu who was drinking water, but saw that his eyes were also looking at Yanghe Mansion, but his face was faintly murderous.
This made him very puzzled, after many days of getting along, he could gradually feel some changes in Chang Yu's expression, and guessed that someone in this city should be remembered by this little eunuch.
"Lord Wu, do you know any big names in Yanghe Mansion?" Perhaps sensing Wu Mengming's eyes, Chang Yu suddenly turned his head and asked.
Wu Mengming was stunned, and his heart turned a few times: "I haven't heard that there are any rich people in Yanghe Mansion."
Chang Yu couldn't help laughing, this thing was full of money: "Xuanda Governor Wang Jibun"
Wu Mengming patted his head and sighed: "Grandpa Chang originally said that he was Governor Wang, why should we go into the city to meet?" ”
Phew, Chang Yu looked disgusted: "He is not worthy of letting our family go into the city to see each other" said and snorted coldly: "But our family has sent someone into the city to wake him up."
It turned out that the person he was worried about was Wang Jiyu, Wu Mengming couldn't understand what Liang Zi this Xuanda Governor and Chang Yu had, but he still asked casually: "What kind of wake-up call did someone give him?"
"Grain and grass matters, if he does it beautifully, our family will be fine, if it is not effective, just find an excuse to take him" Chang Yu said lightly, Wu Mengming was shocked when he heard it, it seems that the two of them are not small, and listening to Chang Yu's tone, could it be that he is really a person from Dongchang, and he has been investigated and handled some cases by the emperor's secret order? Otherwise, except for the East Factory, only Jinyiwei can say that the person will take the person.
Governor Xuanda, the full name of 'Governor Xuanda, Shanxi and other places of military affairs and food and salary' set up in Jingtai two years, stationed in Xuanfu, after several revocations and reset, from Longqing four years stationed in Yanghefu, under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi, Sanfu three towns so far.
At this time, Wang Jiyu, the governor of Xuanda, was also on the blacklist of Chongzhen's secret decree, and even the first, because he had the highest power and did the most shameful things, the thieves besieged Datong, and when he arrived at Yanghe Mansion, this thing quietly fled when he heard the news, yes, he left the army and civilians in a mansion, and absconded without any resistance!
What's even more ridiculous, he fled with the silver, but halfway was robbed of the silver by the soldiers and scattered, and had to write a letter to ask for guilt, Chongzhen really had the heart to peel his skin, but at this time there was no one in the court to kill, a few days later let him lead the troops to relieve the siege of Datong, but at this time Datong has been lost, Wang Jiyu even ran out of his own soldiers and how can he have soldiers to bring, so he staged the most ridiculous farce in the late Ming Dynasty: a bare-pole governor who lost his jurisdiction and did not have a single soldier to rescue a city that had surrendered!
It sounds ridiculous, but it is so ironic and heart-piercing, but such farce abounds in the late Ming Dynasty.
The soldiers hurriedly ate lunch and rested for a while, Chang Yu ordered to set off, and at this moment, five or six brocade guards galloped from the direction of Yanghe: "Father-in-law Chang, commander Wu, Xuanda Governor Wang Jifu heard that Wu commanded the envoy to come, and he has set up a banquet in the palace to receive the wind, and the people who came to greet him will arrive immediately."
Chang Yu has no official or position, and he asked Jinyiwei to pass the word just now, naturally in the name of Wu Mengming's commander of Jinyiwei.
"Pick up the special b" Chang Yu suddenly scolded, stunned everyone, this Chang Gonggong is a man of temperament, scolding people is so dirty.
"Set off immediately, go back and tell Wang Jiyu to go to Datong immediately, and if Datong can't see his people within three days, then Jinyiwei's edict will see you."
After speaking, the horse took the lead and marched southwest along the avenue.
Wu Mengming looked at a few brocade guards who were running errands and shrugged their shoulders, with an expression that nothing was wrong with Lao Tzu, and then got into the carriage.
Since Yanghe Mansion, Chang Yu led the team to gallop, running and stopping all the way, and even rushed to Datong Mansion when it was dark, far exceeding the expected time.
Looking at the towering city wall of Datong Mansion, Chang Yu shouted: "Lao Tzu has finally arrived."
This roar also woke Wu Mengming up, probed out, and looked at Chang Yu with a dusty face: "Have you arrived?"
"It's here, let's call the door" Chang Yu laughed, the road was hard, but he also had a good time, it was time for Wu Mengming to brush his face.
One of the nine important towns of Datong, the wall is high and the river is deep, it is as solid as an iron wall, it is square, the circumference is thirteen miles, the city wall is four feet high and two feet (more than 12 meters) is covered with bricks, four gates are set up, the east gate and Yang, the south gate Yongtai, the west gate Qingyuan, the north gate Wuding, the four gates all have urn city, the suspension bridge, the ditch, the four gates are built with the city tower, and set up the corner tower, it can be described as solid, but where there is a heart to defend, the thief wants to attack it, it is almost impossible, but Jiang Hao surrendered without a fight, so he gave it away in vain, it really makes people hateful
This time it was much easier to enter the gate than in Xuanfu Town, perhaps because it was not late, or perhaps because it came from the north gate, coupled with the signboard of Jinyiwei, so that the city was allowed to enter after a little verification.
It is easy to enter the city, but the courtesy is not high, although the name of Wu Mengming is reported, but there is no decent person to greet in person, only one of Yang Zhenwei's generals came to welcome everyone to the barracks, and said that the general soldier Jiang set up a banquet in the yamen of the general military palace to invite Wu Commander to make a big driver.
If you change to someone else, it may be rude to do this, after all, the dignified Jinyi Guard is the commander, but Wu Mengming feels that it doesn't matter, he doesn't care about this, he only has money in his eyes.
He doesn't care, Chang Yu doesn't care, anyway, he has no official position, so it's best to hide underwater.
After everyone settled in the barracks, they followed Yang Zhenwei to the Yamen of the General Military Mansion for a banquet.
Before going to the banquet, Chang Yu secretly told Wu Mengming to bring more people over, although Wu didn't know the reason, he still did it.
The general soldier's mansion, the lanterns are colorful, dozens of Ding servants stand on both sides, five or six brocade-clothed people whisper at the gate of the mansion, one of them is a tall middle-aged man is particularly conspicuous, this person is Jiang Xuan, the chief soldier of Datong.
Chang Yu recognized him at a glance, of course he hadn't seen him before, this was completely in a feeling, and his hypocrisy could be seen from this person's entire words and deeds.
Jiang Huang is a native of Shaanxi, all generations are bright generals, a general star shines, his brother Jiang Rang is the chief soldier of Yulin, and a younger brother Jiang Xuan is the deputy chief soldier of Yanghe Mansion, and there are other brothers around him.
But after such a gate, the king of the king, do not do the loyal king's things, but is a famous wall grass, the thief has not yet attacked Datong, he sent someone to secretly hand over the surrender from the thief, keep his position in the general army, but the thief of the Dashun Emperor did not do a few days to be driven away by the Tartars, this goods to see that the situation is not right, turned his head and hugged the thigh of the Qing army, but after some observation, I saw that the vassal kings around the country called the emperor, the warlords divided the territory, the Qing army just entered the customs, the thieves swaggered around, the world was a mess, why not stand on their own mountain, So he waved the banner of a great general and shouted everywhere against the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately no one responded, and the siege of Datong could not move, so regardless of whether the people of Datong lived or died, he was mixed with brocade clothes and jade food for a day, and was finally slaughtered by his own general Yang Zhenwei.
In short, this person is a scumbag!
Jiang Hao led everyone and Wu Mengming to greet each other while walking towards the mansion, but he always felt that a pair of eyes were dangling on his back like a bayonet, and he was puzzled, so he turned his head to look, just in time to meet Chang Yu's skin and smile.
Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and smiled, he just regarded Chang Yu as Wu Mengming's subordinate.
Although the banquet was a temporary arrangement, it was extremely rich, and the pomp was not small, and a lot of accompanying guests were invited, in addition to Jiang Huang's several generals, there were also a few squire-like characters, and after introducing them one by one, Chang Yu's heart was even more angry.
Especially one of the old men, it really made Chang Yu feel disgusted, this person's name is Han Lin, a famous gentry in Datong, was a forty-four years of Wanli Jinshi, once participated in the politics of Shaanxi, served as Sun Chuanting's staff, Wen Tiren grabbed the pigtail on his back, impeached him for embezzling food and salary, and was deposed and returned to his hometown.
But this product has a more shining identity, that is Jiang Hao's old father-in-law! Therefore, although he was dismissed, he retired without stopping, he was old in his qualifications, and he often boasted that he had the wisdom of knowing people, pointing fingers at military affairs, and giving ideas to Jiang Huang, just like a military advisor, with the name of 'Tu Zhuge '.
After the thief army broke through Taiyuan, he attacked Ningwu Pass and killed Zhou Yuji, slaughtered the whole city of chickens and dogs, and the news reached Datong, Han Lin was immediately frightened, so he ran to find his son-in-law Jiang Jiu for a while Balabala conspired, and personally went to find the thief to send a surrender document.
Of course, that's all for later.
After some introduction, everyone sat down, the cups were staggered, and it looked extremely lively, Chang Yu looked around left and right, and found that the person he wanted to see did not come, and then thought about it, it was understandable that he did not arrive in such a hurry, and it was even possible that even if he could come, Jiang Jiu would not want him to come.
