"Hehe, I know that I can't hide it from Second Brother Ma." Sun Kewang explained with a smile.

According to the news given to them by the Pujie Chamber of Commerce, the eight major grain merchant caravans led by the Fan family went to Liaodong two months ago, and they thought that it would not be long before they could return to Zhangjiakou.

This statement was confirmed by the mercenaries, and in the days when Dalintai was harvesting winter grain, there was indeed a large caravan heading east, which should be the Fan family's people.

In a big caravan like this, the mercenaries rarely have any crooked ideas, and a few mercenary groups together may not be the opponents of others, if they get together more, they may gain something, but they must also lose a lot, which is inevitably not cost-effective.

In order not to attract the attention of the Fan family and Houjin, the Zhuolu Trading Company also strictly forbade the mercenaries to rob these caravans that went east, compared with collecting wool and pulling people to work, the cost was too great, and no one had any idea about these caravans.

"Hey, the Governor wants to come to Zhangjiakou in person and act with us!" After Sun Kewang finished drinking tea, he didn't know when he had opened the letterhead and said while reading.

"Not only that, Mr. Zhang will also follow." Ma Er sat next to him and said, he was in charge of finding out the news, and it was impossible to hide these things from him.

"Now Zhangjiakou is very lively." Sun Kewang said.

With the participation of the Governor, this matter is naturally more complicated, but fortunately, Song Xiance and Sun Kewang have two sets of plans, and they will not be in a hurry.

You can't act so unscrupulously, of course, Sun Kewang and the mercenaries don't have any worries, to put it bluntly, the arrival of Governor Geng can also help them wipe their butts,.

In the past two days, the mercenary leaders of the army around him, such as Zou Qun, are busy contacting their colleagues, the purpose is to think that on the day of the move, the post where they are can guard the north gate of the far fort, so that it is convenient to escape, with the endorsement of Governor Geng, there is no need to think about escaping.

However, there are other troubles, Governor Geng's plans are not small, and he and Zhang Zongbing can't show up in advance, so many things have to be done by Sun Kewang and the mercenaries.

......

Zhangjiakou General Liu Shen Mansion is full of lights, beaming with joy, today is the big day for him to accept the eighth concubine.

Liu Shenjiang has been staying in Zhangjiakou all these years, relying on the tributes of merchants from all walks of life, and has made a lot of money.

Some time ago, he forbade small and medium-sized businesses to enter and leave Zhangjiakou, which caused many merchants to be dissatisfied, and of course he also lost a lot, but the Fan family gave him a lot of dry shares, and not only did he not suffer a loss, but also made a lot of money.

No, I only got a large amount of dividends two days ago, and as soon as the money arrived, General Liu took the Yangzhou thin horse in his early picture home.

The hall was full of friends, and all the guerrillas and generals in Zhangjiakou came, and General Liu was even more satisfied, just by taking back these congratulatory gifts, he could earn back the money he spent yesterday, and there could be a lot more, even if these guys knew each other.

Civil officials, but no one comes, one has always been noble and cheap, although he is a general who is the deputy chief soldier one step further, and his official position is not low, but in the eyes of civil officials, it is still not worth mentioning.

Second, Zhangjiakou is still a military fort in the end, there are no serious civil officials, and those civil officials in the same place as Xuanfu are impossible to run in the snow for him, a small general.

Liu Shen will be self-aware, but he doesn't force it, anyway, since ancient times, civil and military people can't pee in a pot, and there are civil officials, but they are tied up and don't have enough fun.

Although these military stations have some autonomy, they are still nominally controlled by him, and the least blades and armor have to be taken from Zhangjiakou, and it is not unusual to find an opportunity to support their own field.

When he was drinking happily, the butler came in, with a strange look on his face, bowed his head to his ear, and whispered a few words to General Liu.

"What? How many people came? "General Liu was a little drunk, and the housekeeper didn't hear what he said just now.

"Well, the sentry commanders of the upper and lower forts, there are forty or fifty in all." The butler replied, "They are all here to say hello to you, sir." ”

He whispered in General Liu's ear, "There are gifts available." ”

As soon as he heard that there was a gift, General Liu grinned, "These guys, when did they learn to do this." ”

The generals who arrived tonight were also at least the general level, and the same was true in the past, and the sentry officers and sentry commanders below were always the lower limit, and the sentry officers and sentry commanders below them, although they were also in charge of the soldiers under their hands, they were just the head of the soldiers after all, and they were not considered generals.

These sentry officers and commanders are in Zhangjiakou Fort, which has tens of thousands of troops, not to mention hundreds, and General Liu Shen, as the highest general in Zhangjiakou, has never had the time to deal with these people.

"Why, do you want to get a silver for giving me a gift?" General Liu didn't think about it, he opened his mouth and went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, most of these soldiers came for the food that had been stopped for a long time.

Since there are gifts, it means that the heart is quite sincere, but the food and salary of the court have not arrived, so it is impossible to give them their own wealth, "Okay, everyone will enjoy some wine, let them drink and leave." General Liu commanded.

As for those gifts, General Liu didn't take them to heart, some big-headed soldiers, what decent things could they come up with.

He knew that these people had been running outside the plug recently, and most of them were helping people to take away the goods, and they couldn't pay the money, so General Liu Shen naturally didn't dare to be too strict, and let them do it with a blind eye, it seems that they have earned some money, and they can actually afford to buy gifts, but to say how expensive it is, General Liu Shen doesn't believe it.

"This, master, I have prepared wine for them, but these guys actually don't do it, and they refuse to leave noisily." The butler said with a fuss.

"What do they want to do?" General Liu was a little annoyed at first, how could these people be so ignorant, and then he became nervous, these people gathered here to make trouble, wouldn't they want to make trouble.

That little bit of wine turned into sweat and flowed out, and he was sober in an instant.

The Ming Dynasty has never lacked border troops to make trouble, and the root cause of the trouble is the lack of salary, which has caused suicide and murder of civil and military officials at the border gates.

If you want to calm down, it is very simple, how much money and food are issued, and the soldiers who can immediately stop and take the lead in making trouble will most likely be settled and killed by the queen of the autumn afterwards, but these officials who died also died in vain.

General Liu Shen naturally knows a lot of these allusions, thinking that these soldiers gathered in his house, the hairs on his body stand on end, if these people have bad intentions, his whole family may not be spared.

How can this be born? Otherwise, take some private money out to appease them?
