Chapter 305: Back to Tessie

(This chapter is more for the helmsman "Happy Swelling Uncle Wang", thank you for your support!!) )

Departure on the sixth day of the second lunar month, entering Guangde on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the road was very stable, and the equipment of Chen Xiaoting and his party was indeed useless. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

Yongxi was originally a border province, while Guangde was on the border of Yongxi, and outside the Luoyun Pass, where Taixi County was located, was the powerful Golden Horde.

There are three guards in Guangde, namely Taixiwei stationed in Luoyun Pass, and Gu Beiwei and Jiahewei next to each other.

Huang Ting's first destination was Jiahewei, which was located a little further south.

Because it was a garrison army, after inspecting the commander's yamen, Huang Ting asked to go to the barracks to have a look.

Originally, it was already very laborious to command the yamen to greet his father-in-law, but now Huang Ting has to go to the military camp to have a look, which makes the people of Jiahe Guard even more heartbroken.

Of course, because it was Huang Ting's entourage, Chen Xiaoting also followed and looked around.

It was also through this visit that Chen Xiaoting had a deeper understanding of the army of this era.

Most of the soldiers looked yellow-skinned, and some even wore ordinary clothes and carried sharpened sticks as weapons.

That's it, the key is that Huang Ting also found a serious problem of lack of military personnel during the inspection.

According to the requirements, Jiahewei should have 5,600 people, but according to Huang Ting's general observation, there was a shortage of nearly 1,000 people.

The lack of personnel in the Ming Dynasty is not new, but Jiahewei is in the border area, and there is the Golden Horde outside, and the lack of personnel makes Huang Ting unbearable.

So he immediately found the commander of Jiahewei, scolded him, and ordered him to check his subordinate soldiers as soon as possible, and then truthfully report to the eunuch Xingyuan.

In other words, although Huang Ting scolded these people in the guard, he still needed these people to defend the border for the imperial court.

In essence, Huang Ting's purpose of inspecting the army after the New Year is only to beat these generals, and it is impractical to solve the problem in one fell swoop.

After the affairs of Jiahewei were dealt with, they continued north to Taixi County, and the first stop would be the Taixi Wei Command Envoy set up in Taixi County.

Chen Xiaoting is no stranger to Taixi County, when he first joined Jinyiwei, he was sent by Wang Youtian to Taixi to sit in the court.

In addition, when Hu Weide came to Taixi to inspect, Chen Xiaoting was also responsible for guarding him.

When I arrived outside the county seat, I saw Wang Xiangzhen, the commander of Tai Xiwei, waiting here, and the south gate of the entire county was under martial law.

When the Huangting carriage came, Wang Xiangzhen brought his subordinates to greet him.

"Father-in-law Huang has worked hard all the way, and the last general has prepared a resting place in the city, and he also invites his father-in-law to enter the city to rest!" Wang Xiangzhen stood in front of the Huangting carriage with humility.

The eunuchs were already difficult, and as the eunuchs valued by the emperor, Huang Ting was undoubtedly even more difficult.

Moreover, Wang Xiangzhen had already heard about Jiahewei's affairs, which made him have to please Huang Ting more, at least make it less difficult.

Not surprised by the humble posture of the generals, Huang Ting sat in the carriage without the curtain being raised, and said: "The king commands the envoy ......."

Summoned by this, Wang Xiangzhen bent his waist a little more, and then said: "The end will be!" ”

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief...... Do you have a ghost in your heart? Huang Ting said with deep meaning.

Wang Xiangzhen was stunned for a moment, and then said in panic: "Father-in-law, the last general has always been loyal to his duties, loyal to the court and the emperor, please father-in-law!" ”

Huang Ting said at this time: "Don't be so excited, our family is just saying it casually!" ”

But what he said casually scared Wang Xiangzhen half to death, after all, everyone has shit under their buttocks, and he is no exception.

What's more, these people in Dongchang are ruthless, and if Huang Ting really can't get along with him, it will bring great trouble to Wang Xiangzhen.

"Father-in-law, don't joke about the last general, the last general is timid!" Wang Xiangzhen said with a smile.

Regardless of whether it was a joke or not, at this time, Huang Ting's voice became cold and said, "Okay, Commander Wang, it's time to enter the city!" ”

Wang Xiangzhen nodded again and again, and then said, "Yes...... The last general will lead the way ahead! ”

In addition to the Taixi Guard, the gang in the county government also arrived at the city gate, but they didn't stick to Wang Xiangzhen's dead face.

But when Huang Ting's carriage passed by them, the county officials also saluted Huang Ting.

Although he is a literati, Huang Ting is a eunuch in Yongxi after all, and if he neglects him, he will face the risk of dismissal, and few people are willing to take this risk.

After entering the city, the streets were also under martial law, and only Huang Ting's carriage was used on the streets.

Chen Xiaoting rode on his horse and glanced at both sides of the street, but saw that Tessie had not changed much from two years ago.

The people hid in their homes, watching the street through the cracks, and guessed which big man was coming.

And those who are literate, after seeing the banner of "Eunuch in Yongxi Town, East Detective Factory" in the team, they understand who the people in the carriage are.

And some more literate scholars scolded Huang Ting in private when his motorcade passed by.

Sitting in the carriage, Huang Ting didn't know anything about the situation outside, and he was thinking about the rules of action in Tai Xiwei at this time.

After a while, the carriage stopped shaking, and Huang Ting and his party came to the outside of the command envoy.

As his guard of honor, Chen Xiaoting beckoned his men and horses, and they were arranged on both sides of the commanding envoy's yamen.

Wang Xiangzhen stood on the side of the carriage, waiting for Huang Ting to come out, while Tai Xiwei's soldiers and horses were in charge of guarding the perimeter.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, Huang Ting got out of it, and after saluting Huang Ting, Wang Xiangzhen crossed the crowd to the side of the carriage and helped Huang Ting down from the carriage.

Looking at Wang Xiangzhen's kneeling and licking appearance, standing beside Chen Xiaoting, Liu Jianping whispered: "My lord, the surname Wang is also a commander......

The implication is that Wang Xiangzhen is too shameless and skinless, and robbed the little eunuch of what he should do.

Hearing Liu Jianping say this, Chen Xiaoting immediately glanced around, and after finding that there were no outsiders within five meters, he scolded Liu Jianping: "Shut up, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth!" ”

was reminded by Chen Xiaoting like this, Liu Jianping was suddenly startled, knowing that he was indeed out of proportion.

"Your Excellency, forgive your sins!" Liu Jianping bowed.

After Huang Ting entered the command envoy's yamen, the entire welcome ceremony ended, at least the task of Chen Xiaoting and his subordinates was completed.

After entering the command envoy's yamen, Huang Ting himself did not have to worry about his safety, and Xu Xuan personally led people to escort him.

However, no one in Chen Xiaoting and his entourage dared to slack off, and Liu Xiongshan, the same acquaintance of Tai Xiwei, was responsible for receiving them.

Soon Chen Xiaoting and his entourage were arranged to live, in the courtyard of Wang Xiangzhen himself, and Huang Ting and others would also be arranged to stay here.

In order to welcome the arrival of Huang Ting, Wang Xiangzhen even dedicated his own home, which can be said to have taken a lot of effort.

After living in the Wang family, Chen Xiaoting and Liu Jianping sang a song, which was a rare moment of relaxation.

According to normal circumstances, Huang Ting and the others would check the account books and files in the command envoy's yamen, and they would not finish until at least the afternoon.

And it's only about nine o'clock in the morning, so there is still enough time for Liu Jianping and the others to be idle.

"My lord, it's either a post station or a barracks on the way, let's go out and play too?" Liu Jianping proposed.

After Chen Xiaoting took a sip of tea, he asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Liu Jianping said: "No matter where you go, it's good to go out and walk around, don't you say, my lord?" ”

After Chen Xiaoting thought about it, he said with a smile: "I sat in Taixi at the beginning, so let's go to my hometown again today!"

The so-called revisiting the old place is just Chen Xiaoting's statement to hide people's eyes, and his real purpose is to meet someone.
