Although Quang Ninh is an important town, there has been no war for a long time since Yongle, and it has long been peaceful.

Now garrison Shi Tingzhu ancestor Shangsu Wanjianzhou people, the surname Guerjia, after Chenghua was taken in the Ming army Weiju clan attached, several generations have long been sinicized, and its surname has also been changed to Shi. At that time, the imperial court placed the Shi family in Quang Ninh and gave a hereditary low-grade military position.

In Shi Tingzhu's generation, because the former governor Zhang Tao advocated Huairou for Jianzhou, he adopted various policies to appease the old Jurchen people in Liaodong, so as to show that the imperial court treated the Jurchen people favorably.

In terms of military and political employment, Governor Zhang also boldly used naturalized officials of the old Jurchen clan, and Shi Tingzhu had good luck as a result, and was regarded as a model by Governor Zhang, and he was promoted to three levels in two years, from a low-grade military post to a garrison in Guangning.

With such love, how could Shi Tingzhu not be grateful?

Last year, when he heard that Lord Zhang died, Shi Tingzhu was very sad and cried for days, if it weren't for his friend and grandson, the capital of Zhenwu Fort, which belongs to Guangning, he would have been persuaded hard, but he was afraid that Shi Shoubei would go with Lord Zhang.

The relationship between Jin Li, the president of Guangning Qianzong and Wu Jinshi, and Shi Tingzhu is also good, and he once privately said to his wife that the reason why the garrison is so sad is that he really appreciates the love of the governor Zhang Tao; Second, he was worried that if Zhang Tao died, the successor governor would change his course and put him, the "model" set by the former governor, into the cold palace.

Jin Li's worries are not unreasonable, a son of heaven and a courtier, Zhang Tao reused the old Jurchen clan when he was in office, giving them high-ranking officials and generous benefits, and now that the governor has changed, who dares to guarantee that this new governor will also treat the old Jurchen clan with the same preferential treatment as the old governor.

If the new official takes office and sets fire to it, will he still be able to live in Quang Ninh?

Fortunately, after the new governor took office, there were no changes to the provisions drafted by the predecessor, and the employment of personnel was completely in accordance with the old practice of the predecessor, which made the uneasy officials everywhere breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason is that the outside world speculates that the first is that the New Year is approaching, and it is inconvenient to move. The second is that the predecessor has just died, and it is inconvenient for him to succeed him in public or private, and he will have to postpone it for at least a year and a half.

Otherwise, it will definitely provoke criticism.

Around the time of the New Year, a businessman in the north came with news that there was a big move in Jianzhou, but there were different opinions on how to make a big move.

Guangning is close to Guannei, not as close to Jianzhou as Tieling and Shenyang, so no matter what the rumors are, the officers and soldiers are still happy to celebrate the New Year.

After all, if there is really a big deal, it is also on the top of the north, and it can't be hindered here. Even if that Jianzhou really dared to pull the flag and rebel, the suppression of tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong was just a matter of waving his hand, so why be nervous.

If you really want to say that you are nervous, there is one, and it is naturally a garrison from the old Jurchen clan.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Shi Tingzhu really hasn't heard from Jianzhou over the years, he doesn't know the governor of Jianzhou, and the governor of Jianzhou doesn't know him.

Therefore, it is impossible for the other stone garrison to have an affair with Jianzhou!

However, the old Jurchen clan who were in the family of the garrison lord and acquaintance often dealt with the merchants from Najianzhou, and they got a lot of advantages and benefits.

I also vaguely heard some rumors about the Jurchens being united.

Shi Tingzhu laughed at these statements every time he heard them, looking at them inappropriately, but he agreed with them in his heart.

Because, isn't his current status dependent on the unity of the Jurchens?

If it weren't for the Jianzhou Governor uniting the Jurchen tribes, then how would Governor Zhang treat them preferentially to the old Jurchen tribes.

Thinking that he Shi Tingzhu had already regarded himself as a Han Chinese, but he was dug up by Governor Zhang to find out that his Shi family was an old Jurchen clan, and he was loved by a typical example.

In this way, he Shi Tingzhu can only agree more and more with the statement of the unity of the Jurchen people as stated by the governor of Jianzhou, because if he does not do this, how can he Shi Garrison ensure that his high position will not suddenly disappear one day.

In addition to agreeing, it is very concerned.

Shi Tingzhu secretly sent people to Jianzhou to inquire about the news, in order to find out what the rumors said about the big move in the north, so that he could prepare early.

If you have a mind, this New Year will not go well.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the people sent to the north had not yet returned, but they learned that their friend Sun Degong had passed through Guangning.

Sun Degong and Shi Tingzhu have similar personalities, and the relationship between the two is very good, and they used to eat and drink together. On the second day of the junior high school, Sun Degong and his wife went to his father-in-law's house in Liaoyang to pay New Year's greetings, and then stayed for three days before returning. Originally, he was going to go back to Zhenwu Fort directly, but thinking that he would not pay a New Year's greeting to the garrison after passing by Guangning, he asked his wife to go back first, and he came over with the servants on horseback.

When his friend arrived, Shi Tingzhu was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to greet him. He asked his wife to prepare a banquet at home, thinking that he had no guests, and asked the servant to hurry up and invite another good man to come over.

Jin Li happened to be fine, and as soon as he heard that the garrison had a banquet for Sun Degong of Zhenwu Fort, he rushed over. The three of them met, were polite to each other, and then they talked and laughed at the banquet.

After a while, he was drunk and happy, but when he was drunk, the sergeant guarding the gate came to report that a eunuch had come from Beijing, and brought a lot of servants, and asked the garrison to meet him at the city gate.

Damn, what kind of bullshit eunuch is so majestic?!

Shi Tingzhu, who was drunk and flushed, was not annoyed, why did a eunuch ask him to go to see him by name!

It should also be garrisoned, according to common sense, garrisoning is a military position, and if you don't deal with eunuchs, it is really some envoy in the capital, and it stands to reason that the local civil officials will come forward to take care of everything. There are rules for everything, but there is a reason why the lord of the city will come over before he arrives at the city gate.

"No, no, no! ...”

Shi Tingzhu was drunk, but he didn't care about the king of heaven. Sun Degong and Jin Li were still sober, thinking that more things were better than less, so they persuaded Shi Tingzhu to take a look.

"I heard that these eunuchs are all cautious, and they will be retribution..."

Jin Li and Sun Degong erected the stone pillar as he spoke, and after asking the servants to bring hot water to wash the garrison, the three of them shook to the city gate.

Shi Tingzhu said that he was not in accordance with the rules, and gave him the face of the eunuch, but he also had the meaning of obedience in his heart. As Jin Li said, although the eunuch is a thief, he is a person around the emperor, and it is better to offend less.

When he arrived at the city gate, Shi Tingzhu called the officer guarding the gate and asked where the person was, the officer pointed to the outside of the city, and the three of them looked at the gesture, and sure enough, there was a team of people outside the city, with a lot of long flags, led by a young eunuch with a white face and beard.

"What's the matter? ... Admiral Maritime Eunuch? ”

Sun Degong looked forward and wondered: What kind of eunuch is this? I've never heard of it.

Shi Tingzhu was also puzzled, he had never heard of any admiral maritime eunuchs, and he was in the Inner Army Town, what did a eunuch who ran maritime affairs do when he saw him?

Jin Li was a little familiar, thought about it and said in a lost voice: "Could it be the eunuch who kidnapped the Seventh Prince!" ”
