Lu Xiangsheng looked at the note, hesitated for a moment, but still took out the note, he carefully unfolded the note, and there was only one word "sick" written on it

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the note blankly, stunned for a moment, but quickly understood the meaning of the note, he smiled bitterly, but he took the note and put it on the oil lamp, and the note quickly turned into a flame. Vertex updates are the fastest

I saw Lu Xiangsheng get up from this chair, walked to the door, looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and seemed to have made a decision.

The border line of Datong Town, is the long Great Wall, the Central Plains ethnic defense grassland herdsmen, used, only the city wall, from the Central Plains Han people, with their own regime, this behavior has not stopped, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States began, the northern Yan State and the Jin State, but have begun to build the city wall, to prevent the invasion of the northern people, and the real large-scale construction of the Great Wall, but from the Central Plains first centralized dynasty Qin Dynasty, from that time, this kind of defensive fortifications, built more and more vast, In the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang reached a peak.

As mentioned earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang may be affected by Liu Bowen's "high wall and wide accumulation of grain to slow down the king", the influence of these words, and even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this influence is more and more profound, from the city wall inscriptions all over the country, you can see this kind of fortifications everywhere, most of them were built and expanded in the Ming Dynasty, and now, the same is true of the border wall of Datong Town, on the plain of this Hetao, the blue-gray city wall, like a long dragon in this sky, spreads to the end of the sight.

Yang Quan took people to Yunyou Fort, this is a small military tun, from the city wall, only twenty miles, here belongs to Wei Yuanwei's tuntian, however, there are not many people in this place, they used to be subordinate to Datong Town's small military tun, are also to farm Tuntian soldiers for the industry, now the border town of the guard military system, has long become no class, the guard system, in the early Ming Dynasty emperors, there are also drawbacks, hereditary replacement of the guards, the overall quality of the decline is great, Some are even inferior to the local people, and the difference between them and the kind of strong army that swallows thousands of miles like a tiger in the early Ming Dynasty is already the difference between heaven and earth.

Therefore, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, some people of insight carried out the strategy of combining recruitment and world soldiers early, that is, in the guards of the world military system, they began to be recruited into the army, and now, most of the guards in the interior are responsible for reserves, training soldiers, and in border towns, most of the armies that can fight a little are recruits, and the guards are only responsible for defending the city, and even the guards of this Yunyou Fort are general, reduced to the status of Tuntian.

However, although this Yunyou Fort is a military fort, it has a special status in the border town, because the soldiers on the Great Wall in the area of Weiyuanwei rely on the grain and vegetables of this Yunyou Fort when the military rations do not come, and there is no big city in this area, only Datong Zuowei and Shuozhou are still prosperous, but these two places are too far away from them. These soldiers want to go to those places to have fun, I'm afraid they will have to walk for several days, so this Yunyou Fort slowly began to become prosperous, the soldiers on the Great Wall, began to come here, eating and drinking, needless to say, even this secret prostitution began to become more, and even in this fort, many military mothers-in-law also began to do this, often the man entertained outside the door, and the wife was in the house with the soldier to have a bed with the soldier.

This kind of deformed prosperity has drained these soldiers who are defending the city, and there is not much gold and silver, but now, the soldiers in the border town are short of salaries, and most of the soldiers are shy in their pockets, and most of them don't come here, and this Yunyou Fort has also become cold.

Yang Quan stood at the door of this military fort, looking at both sides of the door, the two soldiers leaning crookedly against the wall, couldn't help frowning, several guards under the command of Tuntian Division, even if they were ordinary auxiliaries, are now trained more rigorously than these soldiers, this Yunyou Fort as a military fort on the border, the defense is so lax, no wonder, later whether it is a Tartar or a peasant army, the city on the nine sides is like flat land, and the Xiongcheng in the border town is easily captured, on the one hand, of course, the later Tartars and peasant armies have become good at fighting, But the biggest reason is probably that the army here has degenerated to the point where it can't even look at the city gate.

The arrival of Yang Quan's group made the soldiers at the door vigilant, and they lazily stood up from the city wall under the sun, and pointed their spears at Yang Quan, "What are you doing?"

Jia Sanhuai, who was beside Yang Quan, had already walked up quickly at this time, and said to the two soldiers with a smile, "Two, my lord is a businessman who came here to do business, and it just so happens that he has a friend who is a soldier in this area, so I came to see him, can you make it convenient for you two to let us go into the city to rest for a night?" ”

As he spoke, he quietly handed two strings of copper coins to the soldier's hand.

"Oh, you're here to find a friend, do you have your friend's name?" The soldier raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Quan and them, and asked lazily, but his tone was much softer at this time.

Jia Sanhuai said with a smile, "How can I not know, my master, and the Jin Baihu on duty here are old friends,"

"Oh, where is Jin Baihu, okay, please come in" The soldier stood aside, Yang Quan led people, and walked towards the city, behind Yang Quan, followed by more than twenty carriages.

When Yang Quan and the others disappeared into the eyes of these two soldiers, a soldier next to them looked at Yang Quan's back and asked, "Brother, I see that these people are walking in a uniform manner, and they look like the elite of the army.

When the soldier who collected the money next to him heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Shhh, don't talk nonsense, these people, which one we can provoke?" Didn't you see it, not to mention the men on the side of the carriage, the so-called old man among them, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary character, where do you see my brother and me so polite, easily let the caravan into the city? This time, my brother didn't dare to stop him in his heart. ”

"Shall we tell the upper authorities?" The soldier asked, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Tell the top? Let that guy scold us? You didn't see it, I didn't see it, they probably entered through another gate, we don't know! The soldier who collected the money hurriedly said at this time.

At this time, Yang Quan, of course, didn't know what the two soldiers were talking about, at this time, he was looking at the rows of shops on both sides of the narrow street of Yunyou Fort, and when he looked up, there were gambling houses, restaurants, and brothels, and even the building that could be seen a little bit in the past, and there was a dang word hanging high on it. In this place, the restaurant may not make a fortune, and the gambling house may not make money, but the brothel must make money, but it is still not as good as the pawnshop, which is a good place to make money every day in this city. And this pawnshop is often followed by the gambling house, which is convenient for people who lose gambling to pawn items here, and the pawnshop and gambling house of Yunyoubao are opened by a boss, and this boss is the hundred households of this Yunyoubao.
