Chapter 12 of the Flying Dragon (1)
[I've been delayed for one more day, I'm really embarrassed to ask for tickets, there are too many things, everyone will take care of it, wait for me to make up for it slowly]
The sun that had been shining on the head for a day was finally about to be covered by the mountains, and looking north along the valley, the familiar wall of the Xifeng Fortress could already be faintly seen, and it was a flat road, according to the previous experience, and there would be half an hour to reach the city before sunset.
Ma Zhong stood on the wall of the wall and had nothing to do, since the New Year, he extinguished a stream of red seedlings and reported a great victory, and two months passed, but he was idle and had lice on his body.
Seeing a team of people coming from a distance, Ma Zhong suddenly came to his senses, squinted his eyes for a while, and slammed his mouth and said, "I think it's time to arrive." ”
Sideways sunset, finally came to the fortress after a long absence, the surrounding scenery is still so familiar, on both sides of the avenue in the middle of the valley, only more emerald, less plain white, the breath of spring, even in the poor mountains in the southwest wilderness.
A mile away, flags were already waving on the wall, and the torches on the fort were lit up sporadically.
In comparison, the shop shacks leaning against the wall look more like an embellishment.
The open gate of the walled village, a ride out early.
"Double Happiness's legs are really getting faster and faster." Yang Gan'er laughed on the horse.
"It's a horse fast." Liao Si also smiled.
"It's all the same."
The reward was very rich, and even Wang Zhongde, the nephew who picked up the credit, carried it with him and exchanged it for a good Dian horse.
As he spoke, a person and a horse had arrived in front of him, and he didn't get off the horse, but as soon as he gave his hand, Shuangxi became a little anxious.
"Uncle, hurry back to the castle, the wine and dinner have already been prepared."
After a day's journey, Wang Shuangxi came back two days early and settled everything. Seeing that his nephew was doing things properly, Wang Zhongde nodded with satisfaction, and walked towards the fort with his nephew who turned around.
"What's going on in Fort today?"
It was not dark yet, and the fire would not be raised at this time, after all, it was too early, and the sky was not yet dark, so there must be some alarm, and the fire was raised to facilitate the ignition of the beacon at any time.
"Uncle is from Guiyang Mansion, I really haven't heard the news?" Wang Shuangxi focused his eyes on the void and looked at his uncle suspiciously.
"Another rebellion by the natives?"
"This nephew doesn't know, it's just that the above has asked me to guard the gate for a few days, and there must be a big war in the west."
If you want to use troops in Shuidong, most of them will not be to guard the gate of Xifeng, at least you will see the shadow of some soldiers gathering. However, the white horse has just been destroyed, although the horse heads in the northeast of Hongbian Prefecture have the backstage of the Song family, they have converged a lot, and everyone understands the truth of shooting the first bird, and it doesn't matter if the temperament is usually caused by some friction in the place, but if the government is really provoked, Zhang Futai wants to find the Shuidong and Shuixi families to ask for a few heads to settle the local military and people's hearts.
If you think about this truth thoroughly, you will be able to understand it a little bit in your heart.
Further north is Sichuan, Guizhou is short of hands out of reach, south along the Du Ni River all the Tusi are under the direct jurisdiction of Guiyang Prefecture, and can not set off any waves, in contrast, there is only one direction left in Shuixi.
But Shuixi's An family, now the young master is in charge, the current few years are stopped, last year I went to Sichuan to make a good living, but An Yaochen also died, this mourning period has not passed, let alone make any big noise.
"Is it Usah?"
"What did Uncle hear?"
"The day before leaving, I heard from the fifth brother that Yang Zhizhi in the palace sent a letter to the imperial court and wanted to annex Wusa to Guizhou."
"It's not me who said it, it's Di Copy." Wang Xingping followed from behind and added.
Wusa Mansion is in the west of the west of the water, which is the ancient Yelang country, and the city of Wusa Mansion is the hinterland of the original Yelang country. Usa Tumu An Xiaoliang is also a branch of the Shuixian clan, whose ancestors have settled here since the Han Dynasty, and after the death of the previous Tusi An Yunlong, the situation of Wusa is getting worse day by day. The local law and order are chaotic, the people are mixed, and the Sichuan political envoy is in charge of Wusa's affairs in the southern Sichuan Xuzhou Mansion [Note: Yibin] is more than 1,000 miles away from Wusa, and there is neither a building nor an army in the local area, and there is nothing to manage.
Since the death of An Yunlong, the prefect of the previous generation, Tumu An Xiaoliang and An Tsui fought for the official seal and killed each other, and in the past 20 years, the thieves have swarmed, during which they have robbed merchants and even Qianxi Dao for many years, and there are even many things that have kidnapped and captured soldiers and burned down the fort.
Therefore, Guizhou patrol according to the imperial history Yang He wrote to the court to ask for the court to be honest, the Ming people like to patrol the imperial history is also called 'Zhizhi', and Gaibi is similar to the Han Dynasty's 'embroidered clothes Zhizhi'.
Yang Xunji pointed out the crux of the problem in the recital, and the root cause was that 'the land of Shu is also ravaged and the corrupt people are ravaged in the place of Qian, and the children of Qianzhi are also pure'. The pot is thrown far enough, and the topic is also tricky, which is to force the court to make a decision.
"Shu has been uncertain for a long time, and Qian can't bear to speak, but Yang Zhizhi can speak very much."
Wang Xingping is not lacking in ridicule, if you talk about military and political talents, he has never looked down on the ancient literati, but when it comes to writing and fighting, he really has to obey, just this sentence 'has not been decided for a long time, I can't bear to speak', just ten numbers, it will be Guizhou Province to protect the southwest of the Ming Dynasty to seek perfection of the appearance of the vivid, Sichuan side is not easy to argue, after all, what is said is the truth, An Xiaoliang is fighting for power within the clan, backed by the Long family of Zhenxiong Mansion, and further north, Yongning's luxury family will not provoke, and it is not something he can afford, but these families are all in Sichuan, and the troubled people of Shuixi are all real 'Guizhou children'.
Therefore, Yang He proposed in the report that Wusa would be subordinated to Guizhou, and I don't know how to see it in Sichuan, at least here in Guizhou, both businessmen and people support it, which is also the basis of public opinion for Yang Xun, because he not only gave a way, but also promised the result.
The land in Qianzhong is easy to control, this is one.
The officials in Qianzhong are restrained, and the bullet pressure does not suffer from no one, this is another one.
Qianzhong Yi handed over Qianzhong to mediate at his own discretion, which is the third article.
With these three articles, we will be able to quell bandits, soothe the people, and trade routes.
Of course, there is one of the most attractive, Qian Liang and Ma Guan's responsibility An Xiaoliang does not dare to do it as scheduled, and now that Wusa is in Sichuan, naturally An Xiaoliang will not be on schedule, but as long as Wusa is received under the jurisdiction of Guizhou, these problems will no longer be a problem.
The so-called 'Shu has the name of remote control but no fact, and there is a controllable trend in Guizhou but no power', although there is a background of contradictions between the two provinces, Yang He's words clearly uphold the public heart, and no one can find fault. Even on the road, Wang Zhongde also said that if he can really bring Wusa back this time, he can really raise his eyebrows, which shows that the public opinion is also average, as for the trade route, then Wusa is in front of Sichuan and Guizhou in and out of Yunnan, and now An Xiaoliang occupies Wusa Mansion [Note: now Weining, Guizhou], and his father An Shaoqing occupies Zhanyi Prefecture [Note: now Yunnan Xuanwei], and the two males of the North and South An clans stand side by side, just entering the northeast gate of Qujing Mansion, the throat of Yunnan, the two places are connected, and there is no other official government and his family Tusi in the middle.
Talking about the current situation, I didn't realize that a mile had been completed, and at this time, the soldiers of the original city came down to the city to greet them and disperse the merchants who surrounded them.
When they entered the city and closed the walled gate, they were their own world.
Wang Zhongde looked around the village, "Why don't you see Mr. Qian Qian?" ”
Ma Zhong laughed, "Qian Yuzi told her illness the day before yesterday that she would be away from Qiaowei's hometown." ”
Now that this Xifeng is about to become the Wang family, he is not comfortable staying here, anyway, he is going to be promoted, it is rare to go home to hide and relax, and when the new appointment is down, he can take office, and he knows where he is going, and Xin Tianwei is on the way back to Guiyang, so he doesn't need to make a detour.
"The fourth brother is also tired, so go inside to eat and drink first."
"The fifth brother has also been missing for many days, who is this one?"
"This is my brother-in-law."
"It turned out to be my uncle, and my uncle also came to eat a few bowls together, and it was a good spring burner from Chengdu, but it was so rare to get these jars."
"I'm too drunk to be accompanied."
"How can a man not drink."
"What do you know, Young Master Wang is a showman, this young master must also be a showman, and everyone who reads is a Sven, how can you pickle men."
"Who says a scholar can't drink? There are fewer readers in the restaurant in Fresh Fish Lane outside Guiyang? ”
"You don't look at the place, which one of them is going for wine?"
"If you don't drink, you have to be drunk."
A group of military men regarded Wang Xingping as their own people, and even Jian Shouzhi did not see it, but now Wang Xingping had to be glad that his sister had already settled down in a courtyard in the fort with a few servants and maids.
Tossed once, the wine was drunk until midnight, Wang and Jian returned to the camp with the support of everyone, Wang Xingping was okay, he was originally in the army, he didn't know anything at first, but he drank the fastest to get started, although now this body has changed, but the liquor of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a strong wine, is not as good as the later generations, in Wang Xingping drank it is just the level of sake, and it is naturally intoxicating if he drinks too much, but it is not so that he will be put down.
In addition, the atmosphere was stirred up on the wine table, but he didn't drink much, only bitter brother-in-law, who was a social event in the mall on weekdays, and also put on all kinds of dessert candied fruits and lion fairy candies.
On the second day, he had to hurry up, and he had to get up early, but Jian Shou Zhishang was a little dizzy, and it was difficult for him to ride a horse, so he also took the car.
The group and the soldiers in the city parted one by one, Wang Zhongde explained to his cronies again, and everyone went out, and was about to urge the horses to go around the wall to the north, when they saw two fast horses coming from the south far away, each carrying a white cloth stained with ink in his hand.
"Lubu Feijie?"
