Chapter 5011: Entering Datong City

Liu Juntao led 80,000 horses to the north of Shanxi, and the destination was Datong Town.

For Datong Town, Liu Juntao is already very familiar with it, and he has fought against the Warat army twice, that is, in Datong Town.

This is the place where Liu Juntao is acquainted, and it is also the place where Liu Juntao gets great glory!

Along the way, Liu Juntao didn't have much resistance to Emperor Tianshun's transfer to Shanxi, at best, he was a little surprised.

Liu Juntao has also been secretly planning on the road, preparing to control all parts of Shanxi as soon as possible, so that he can control more resources and territory.

However, Liu Juntao will never relax his control over Shandong, the old base area cannot be abandoned, although Shanxi is large, but there are many corresponding gentry and interest groups, Liu Juntao understands that he will do anything with many obstacles.

Liu Juntao knows that only Shandong is run by himself, and he can do anything in Shandong, and he will deepen his business in the future, such as tuntian, military training, military industry, commerce, education, medical care, etc., all of which can be used as training bases.

At the same time, Liu Juntao, in order to provide the greatest deterrent to the soldiers and civilians of Datong Town, was also ready to let the soldiers of the whole army be neatly draped when the soldiers approached the city.

Although the military and civilians of Datong Town are no strangers to the Tiance Army, the meaning of this time is different, this time Liu Juntao came to Datong Town as a master.

At the end of April of the second year of Tianshun, Liu Juntao led his troops to rush to the south gate of Datong Town, where the governor of Shanxi was stationed.

Among these crowds of people who came to greet them, Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, and Shi Chenfan, the new governor of the Acting Palace, were the leaders, and even Wu Dirong, the new governor of Shanxi, had to be a little behind.

After Liu Juntao ordered the army to settle in place, he led a team of personal guards and iron horsemen to ride forward, turned over and dismounted dozens of steps away from everyone, and strode forward to salute everyone one by one.

Among the crowd, many of them were people who fought side by side with Liu Juntao during the bloody battle, including Xue Tong, Liu Juntao was extremely enthusiastic about everyone, and he was also very polite to the Acting Prince's Mansion Governor.

For the newcomer Shanxi Governor Wu Dirong, although Liu Juntao did not slack off, he could not be called enthusiastic, just a few words of greeting.

After that, Liu Juntao led the army into Datong Town, accompanied by Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, Shi Chenfan, the acting governor of the Wangfu, and Wu Dirong, the governor of Shanxi.

Speaking of Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, Liu Juntao still felt a little emotion in his heart, this former colleague suddenly became his subordinate, I really don't know what Xue Tong's mood is at this moment.

In fact, Xue Tong also had insomnia for a few days after hearing that Liu Juntao was determined to be the governor of Shanxi, but Xue Tong's role changed quickly, after all, Liu Juntao's great military exploits were there, and it was reasonable that Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang had recently been eliminated and promoted to the governor of Shanxi.

For Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, Liu Juntao will of course reuse, at this time, he has just arrived, and he has no acquaintances in Shanxi, and Xue Tong, who is familiar with Datong and even the details of Shanxi, can help him, and related matters can be carried out quickly.

At this time, Sun Xu, the general of the Tiger Army, Yan Hu, the general of the Yingyang Army, and Zhou Zongsheng, the general of the Changshui Army, were stationed in the south of Datong Town, waiting for Liu Juntao's next deployment.

Bai Yuxing, the guerrilla general of the left battalion of the Longxiang Army, and Tao Jixin, the guerrilla general of the right battalion, led the officers and men of the Longxiang Army into the city with Liu Juntao.

A group of people and horses walked on the long street, and the people in Datong Town poured into the streets to watch, and many people cheered loudly, and the scene was extremely lively.

"The military master of the Tiance Army, good job!"

"With the soldiers of the Tiance Army and Liu Duxian here, our Datong Town is as stable as Mount Tai!"

"The next time the Tartars come to the side again, they will suffer!"

In the countless praises, the soldiers of the Long Xiang Army on the march couldn't help but raise their heads up, and a sense of pride surged into their hearts, making the blood of these young soldiers boil.

Soon, Liu Juntao, accompanied by Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, Shi Chenfan, the acting governor of the palace, Wu Dirong, the governor of Shanxi, and dozens of civil and military officials in Datong Town, came to the intersection of South Street and East Street with 100 heavily armored iron cavalry soldiers.

The guerrilla general Bai Yuxing led the main force of the Longxiang Army directly to the military camp in the city, and the guerrilla general Tao Jixin led 500 soldiers to escort Guo Muying's mother and son to the prepared governor's palace to rest.

At this time, Liu Juntao rode his horse to look, only to see a big market square at the entrance of the street, this is the famous "Cheng'en Fang" in Datong Town, on the opposite side of the street, it is a drum tower that stands tall again, the building is nearly 30 meters high, this is the Wenchang Pavilion of Datong Town.

Standing on the Wenchang Pavilion, you can clearly see the situation of the entire Datong Town, which is also a famous place in the Datong Town.

This time, a cadre of officials in Datong Town set up a banquet here for Liu Juntao to receive the wind and wash the dust, at the intersection of this street, the soldiers and horses of Datong Town have already been heavily guarded, in order to welcome the new governor, from the early morning, this area has been cleared, strictly guarded by officers and soldiers, and no one is allowed to enter and exit at will.

When Liu Juntao and his entourage came to His Excellency Wenchang, Liu Juntao turned over and dismounted, and the 100 heavily armored iron cavalry soldiers behind him also dismounted together, with uniform movements and extraordinary momentum.

Subsequently, Xue Tong and Chen Fan accompanied Liu Juntao into the Wenchang Pavilion on the left and right, while Wu Dirong, the governor of Shanxi, led a group of civil officials to follow closely behind. Although everyone seems to be happy, but at this time, it is obvious that a group of civil officials led by Wu Dirong consciously kept a distance from Liu Juntao and other military generals, and this time they came to greet Liu Juntao, it was just a matter of face, and they didn't really value Liu Juntao, after all, at this time, Liu Juntao, the governor and Wu Dirong, the governor of Shanxi, were at the same level, and they were both second-class.

Liu Juntao followed everyone upstairs and came to a flower hall on the top floor, where the 100 heavily armored iron cavalry soldiers guarded the Wenchang Pavilion from the first floor to the top floor.

In this regard, Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, who is in charge of national defense, did not have the slightest opinion, and accompanied him with a smile throughout the whole process.

At noon, the reception feast begins.

Everyone toasted Liu Juntao diligently, and Liu Juntao also did not refuse to come, and took it one by one.

During the banquet, Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, asked about the military situation in various parts of Shanxi in the future, and did not know how Liu Juntao planned to rectify Shanxi's military affairs.

In this regard, everyone was very concerned, and even Wu Dirong, the governor of Shanxi, stopped his chopsticks and looked over.

After all, how Liu Juntao governs the military affairs of Shanxi in the future is related to the future of everyone, and also related to the lives of civil officials such as Wu Dirong, the governor of Shanxi.

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Since Mr. Xue asked, then I'll talk about it." ”

"Xiaguan (then) listened to it!"

Liu Juntao said: "This time, His Majesty appointed me as the governor of Shanxi, so that I can rectify the military affairs of Shanxi Province!" In the land of Shanxi, facing the Tatar soldiers, whether the soldiers and horses in Shanxi are worthy of war is directly related to the lives of the people of Shanxi, the long-term peace and stability of the dynasty, and the heads of you and me! Therefore, the first thing I did after I arrived in Shanxi was a large-scale military training! It is necessary not only to reorganize and train the existing soldiers and horses of various units in Shanxi, but also to examine and examine the generals at all levels, and implement the principle of those who are capable and those who are mediocre to be demoted! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Juntao smiled faintly and said: "So, please be prepared in your hearts, if you are taken down by me, don't blame me for not being emotional!" ”

At this time, there was silence at the banquet, and everyone understood that Liu Juntao was the new official who had taken office with three fires, and he wanted to establish his authority, and he was ready to start a big burn!

However, not everyone thinks so, Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, thinks that Liu Juntao's move is very necessary, in the past, the Wara army has repeatedly attacked, and the soldiers and horses in Shanxi have been defeated and retreated, and even the soldiers and horses in some places have closed their doors after seeing the Wara army, and they dare not fight at all, what is the use of such soldiers and horses?

So, Xue Tong immediately said loudly: "It's a good move to supervise the constitution!" The humble proposal to make this move start from my Datong Town! ”
