It wasn't until Zhou Dunji nagged for a while, and Zhang Mingshi explained from the side, that Wang Xingping finally figured out the reason, and it really had something to do with his own family.

It turned out that Zhou Dunji was convicted because of the Yongning luxury family, and Zhou Dunji also used the strength of the wine to explain the various entanglements within the Yongning luxury family to Wang Xingping.

The predecessor Yongning Xuanfu made Hao Xiaozhong die in the early years of Wanli, and his wife Hao Shitong (note: Wumeng Lu, childless) and concubine Lu Shixu (note: also Wumeng's adopted daughter, with a son Hao Chongzhou) killed each other. In the eighth year of Wanli (1580), Liu Xian, the chief military officer of Sichuan, was happy because he 'saw the shop and scolded (note: the name of the extravagant world), so he asked the imperial court for a crown and belt in the name of the extravagant continuation.

But at that time, the brother of luxury allegiance Sha Bu and his sister-in-law Hao Shitong already had a personal relationship, after the death of luxury allegiance, Sha Bu wanted to continue to marry his sister-in-law, and inherited the post of Xuanfu in this name. Extravagant continued to flee to Yongning, and sent his son to his son-in-law, Zhenxiong Tuguan Longcheng (note: An Yaochen, Long's no queen, tied to the surname of the adulterer).

As a result, Luxury Shitong mistakenly believed that people thought that Luxury Shixu was protected by the Ming Court, so he led troops to besiege the people asked by the official guards, and finally gathered Miao soldiers and 10,000 people to attack Yongningwei.

Until the twelfth year of Wanli (1584), after the two provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou were dealt with by the officials, they got a world unity, a world continuation of the crown belt, and the confused result of guarding the seal together.

And it was this result that caused a series of troubles later, luxury Shitong and Sha Bu disagreed with the discussion, sent an envoy to Guizhou with gold and silver to comfort An Guoheng to borrow troops, and luxury Shixu went to Banzhou to comfort Yang Yinglong to borrow troops, until the eighteenth year of Wanli, and finally the Ming court let luxury Shixu's son luxury Chongzhou attack Xuanfu envoy.

In the twenty-third year of Wanli (1595), Shabu led the army to ambush and kill Luxury Chongzhou, but was killed by Chongzhou, but Chongzhou was killed by the son of Shabu. At that time, because Chongzhou's wife Su Cheng was pregnant, the imperial court still continued the palm seal with luxury, depending on the matter.

In the thirty-second year of Wanli (1604), the Ming court repeatedly allowed luxury Chongming to take office, but this time it was the turn of luxury to continue to play the drama of concealing the seal.

In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (1607), Zhang Shenwu, the capital of Sichuan, and Zhou Dunji, who was the general of Yongning at the time, sent troops to arrest the whole family of the luxury family, as a result, Yongning Tumu Yan Zongchuan took the opportunity to burn Yongning and Chishui Zhuwei in the name of the savior's mother, and involved many Tusi in Shuixi and Zhenxiong, and the trouble was not until the thirty-ninth year of Wanli (1611), and the matter was settled.

Guizhou impeached Zhang Shenwu and Zhou Dunji for 'being greedy for merit and provocation and poisoning in Guizhou', and wanted to punish the crime of unauthorized military mutiny. Naturally, the Sichuan officials did not do it, and they also charged Zhang Dace and Wang Yingkui, who were thousands of households in the Mani Institute, with the crime of 'arresting with palm prints, abandoning the city and falling'.

This skin was pulled until the fortieth year of Wanli (1612), and finally Sichuan failed to win Guizhou, Zhang Shenwu and Zhou Dunji were dismissed from their posts to investigate and investigate the guilt, and waited until Xiong Tingbi was recommended for Liaodong Economic Strategy before re-appearing.

Although there was a dispute between Guizhou and Shu, Zhou Dunji himself said that they were just military generals, without the instructions of the officials, and they went to provoke the toast when they were full and had nothing to do, but they turned around and caused trouble and were sold again. Although in this matter, the officials of Sichuan wanted to protect the two, but they still did not save it, if it were not for Xiong Tingbi to invite a special order to let the two serve in front of the army, I am afraid that they are still waiting in Sichuan to strictly investigate and interrogate Gu Gong.

However, Wang Xingping also made a fuss later, and killed many local soldiers commanded by the extravagant family, and even involved the tribute envoy of Wu Sizang, but there was no, not because he had the identity of a scholar.

However, Wang Xingping heard something different, what he was most worried about was that this Qianshu could not be concentric, probably involving two provinces, in the words of the people of the time, it was Qian's blame for Shu's rejoicing in life, and Shu blamed Guizhou for raising Kou to cause trouble. On the one hand, Yongning Xuanfu Division is prone to change, and Shuixi is because of Guizhou's Huairou tail, if the two families join hands on the grounds of marriage, the two provinces will be in danger.

During the internal strife of the Hao family, there were such things as the rebellion of Ping Yang Yinglong and the exposure of An Yaochen's identity and his forced return to Shuixi, but it was that luxury Chongming who took advantage of this matter to gain great benefits.

Wang Xingping has only deliberately paid attention to a few things these days, except for the war in Liaodong, he is interested in the movements of the two families in the southwest and An, and he did not forget to go to the letter to remind the departments to pay attention to the movements, so he took this opportunity to ask carefully, Zhou Dunji also knew everything, but unfortunately although Zhang Shenwu was also in the Liaodong army, he was stationed in Guangning, otherwise he would have to ask.

As for the news on the side, even the controversy between the court and the central government about the canonization of the crown prince is not a big deal, but he is the person concerned about the death of Wang Cairen on the day, but he doesn't want those officials to suddenly think of themselves at this time, but Zhu Youxiao's status Wang Xingping will not think much about it at all, Zhu Changluo, the prince, has been worried for many years, and he will never let his son suffer this grievance, and I believe that there will be news after this year's Wanshou Festival.

"By the way, I haven't asked Tiancheng what happened to him this time?" Zhang Mingshi didn't have time to ask more questions before, but then he finally remembered to ask.

"This is not an errand to find a prisoner in the military department, to transport sulfur to the Liaoyang Shenji Bureau, it was just delivered a year ago, and there was a delay on the road, so I wanted to come to you early to pay New Year's greetings."

"I heard that you used firearms in your regimental training in Guiyang? Can this firearms battalion really fight in the wilderness? ”

Wang Xing said calmly that this Zhang Shenji really had his own abacus, but he didn't have much to hide, so he said: "It is true that there have been a few field battles, but they are all local Tuyi, and they are not as good as Jiannu." ”

"Jiannu is not also a barbarian, I think Guizhou can use it, Liaodong should also use it, Tiancheng quickly tell me about the regulations of your firearms battalion."

Wang Xingping couldn't shirk it, so he had to introduce Zhang Mingshi to him.

This lecture went straight to the middle of the night, but except for Zhou Dunji, who was drunk, the rest of the generals could listen to it, after all, those things were supported by specific battle examples, and these generals who often fought on the front line naturally knew the depths.

After a long time, Zhang Mingshi put forward a request that I was afraid would not be able to meet.

"You have that homemade musket with you."

"Bring a few."

Zhang Mingshi was surprised but also quite happy, Wang Xingping immediately asked a family member to fetch a musket.

Naturally, this kind of musket modified from the Lumi gun could not be compared with the Minne rifle of the Senate, in fact, Wang Xingping's team also brought more advanced weapons, but it was inconvenient to show them to those present.

However, with this Lu Mi Gong, it is enough for Zhang Mingshi to nag for a while.

Hearing that Wang Xingping's firearms battalion actually fought a field battle with the native soldiers in Guizhou, Qi Jin was also very interested, and the Zhejiang soldiers where he was located were mainly firearms, although he had a tacit understanding with the Sichuan soldiers for more than a year, but it did not prevent him from wanting to know more about the field self-protection of some firearms troops.

After talking for a while, Wang Xingping became serious, "When Xingping came, I heard a rumor that Jiannu would attack Shenyang in February, and this time I also came to report the news. ”

Zhang Mingshi sighed when he heard this, "Tiancheng doesn't know, I'm afraid I can't wait until then, there are obviously more spies in Jiannu these days, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold it anymore." ”

"It's true that the famine is not the Xilu family, and I have heard a lot on the way here, but Xingping has always been worried that the surrender of the cities may be unpredictable."

"Who said no, Tong Zongrong also said so, but Yuan Xianggong didn't listen, so he couldn't help it." Tong Zongrong is Tong Zhonghua, who is one of the three generals of the three-way aid and suppression with Chen Ce, and is now in Liaoyang. Zhang Mingshi said again: "Actually, the soldiers of Sichuan and Zhejiang were originally in Liaoyang, how did Tiancheng think they got here?" One is that there is the intention of pre-building slaves, and the rest has to move some places for those who have descended. ”

These words provoked a few more sighs, and finally the charcoal was hot and the wine was cold, and there was no other word for a night.

…………

Early the next morning, Wang Xingping was woken up by a burst of neighing, the sun was already high, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot yesterday.

When he went out to look, he saw that the school yard was bustling, so he walked in that direction with his family to see what was going on.

Before approaching the fence, I saw that the two horsemen were showing off their might, and the knights on the horse were all tightly wrapped in leather jackets and fox hats, and each of them carried a human head in his hand, and the human head was also frosted, and it was impossible to distinguish it.

He asked a soldier in the battalion, and the soldier said, "The dog is lucky, and the ten taels of silver have been received again." ”

It turned out that he returned to the camp at the end of the night when he went out to patrol the sentry yesterday, saying that he had killed two Jiannu sentinels.

"Maybe it's just out to dig ginseng." Another soldier joked that Jiannu's meticulous work was so easy to catch, and most of them were ordinary Jurchens.

Wang Xingping and his family looked for a while, but found Zhang Mingshi's figure and hurried over.

"Sanjon has already risen?"

"Don't dare to slack off in the affairs of the camp, Tiancheng you are an outsider, if it is cold today, you drink again, and sleep more is fine."

"It's okay, just come and see the excitement, these are the nights in the army?"

"It's just two sons of Zhu Zongrong, and they don't care about it if they don't accept it at night." Zhu Zongrong is the chief soldier Zhu Wanliang.

Wang Xingping was surprised when he heard it, "Isn't it not closed at night?" ”

Zhang Mingshi looked at Wang Xingping, and then remembered that he had never been in the Nine Border Army, but explained: "The night in the army is mainly for reconnaissance and patrolling, as if they are all sneaking assassination, and there is no place outside each mouth to spread the cannon and raise the number, which is a strange thing." ”

Wang Xingping heard the words and was also suddenly, although he did not know the military system of the nine sides, but the rules of the sentry still knew, the officers and soldiers out of the sentry, often carried watermelon cannon paper (note: also known as leather cannon, is made of hard paper more than ten layers of paste shell, linen cloth wrapped, built-in iron thistle fire rat and the like, once set off can be exploded in the enemy group) four, although the power is not large, but the sound is not small, when the enemy first put two cannons, the enemy is close and then released, the sharp sentry everywhere hears the cannon one after another, the dun wei hears the alarm, raises the flag day and the night fire, and transmits the battalion to the Tang Ma to report the vigilance of each battalion.

If he really encountered the enemy, how could he come back with his head in such a silent voice.

However, Wang Xingping also understands that Zhu Wanliang is the chief military officer of the town, and the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, so he is a guilty guest general who will just talk about it in private.

However, Wang Xingping is very curious about the behavior of these family night sentry, not to mention the big jacket, just the bottles and cans he carries with him are better, I heard that the monthly silver of these people is ten times that of the regular army, and it is no wonder that they are so enthusiastic. Don't talk about him or not, at least this competitive heart is still much stronger than ordinary soldiers. Zhang Mingshi also said that some of them will not be discovered within five steps of being close to the enemy at night, which makes Wang Xingping a little staggered, and he needs to know that he may have to use night vision devices to do it.

While the two were talking, a Sichuan soldier had already trotted over to communicate.

"Dare to ask which one is Master Wang from Guizhou."

"What's the matter with me?"

The soldier said: "The villain is from Shi Yan Xuanfu Division, and my family invited Wang Xiaoye to come over the camp for a while." ”

"Is it your Xuanfu envoy?" Wang Xing said calmly, why did this Qin Liangyu arrive so quickly? I didn't hear the Qin family brothers mention it yesterday.

But the soldier simply replied, "Exactly." ”

Wang Xingping thought, just to take a look, the battle array is still second, what he is most interested in is precisely how this white pole soldier unites the soldiers as one, this is the way to victory, after all, it is difficult for him to see the guest army in the autumn of transit on the copy of the Ming Dynasty, but the white pole soldier is an exception, not to mention that they often wrap themselves in food, which is even more rare.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Mingshi, he was about to follow the soldier to the stone camp, when suddenly Wang Xingping raised his eyebrows, as if he thought of something interesting, and he immediately asked someone to call a family member.

This one is tall, but he is still a little childish, and he is not very old.

This person was the bad guy Ma Huateng who was sent to Wang Xingping with the support team at the beginning, and he was also brought to Liaodong this time.

"Chief." After Ma Huateng was recruited from Qiongzhou, he became a member of the bad people with his own efforts, but at the moment his identity is Wang Xingping's family, and the head who arranged the task asked Ma Huateng to treat Wang Xingping as equal, and the word "chief" was not abrupt in private.

"Come with me and see."
