Chapter 391: To the Jingshi

Yang Quan delayed for a while at the gate of Weiyuanwei, and after Yang Guozhu and Yang Guozhen left, they got on the horse and headed towards Xuanfu, Yang Quan didn't dare to go to Xuanfu because he was afraid of meeting Yang Guozhen, but now he has seen Yang Guozhen, so it makes sense that Yang Quan should go to see Lu Xiangsheng. Vertex updates are the fastest

However, when Yang Quan returned to Xuanfu, this Xiongcheng was still as busy as ever, merchants from the south and the north came in and out of the city, and the fur of the north, the tea and salt in the south could be seen everywhere in this city. However, these people are just earning a little bit of hard work to run errands, because the real control of the entry and exit of the pass, is the Jin merchants in Shanxi, after years of operation, the entire Xuanda defense line, for the Jin merchants, everywhere is a place to go out,

It's just that the Mongolian tribes outside Xuanda were sold in the past, and now the Jin merchants are aiming at the Manchu Qing in the north of the Ming Dynasty, they chose to go out of the Zhangjiakou Fort of Xuanda, along the Horqin grassland to the north, through this Mongolian tribe that had long been conquered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and arrived at the territory of the Jurchens, and the iron 'tea' porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is all-encompassing for daily use, and even the latest weapons used by the Ming border army, as long as the price is enough, the Jin merchants can also get it for the Manchu Tartars.

Even every time the Tartars buckle the edge, attack the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, the Jin merchants also contributed a lot, such as the nine years of the Tartar buckle edge, the Tartars did not rush in from the Shanhaiguan, but entered the Horqin grassland, along the city wall of the Ming Dynasty, all the way, went straight to the Ming Dynasty's stone outlet, easily captured the border pass on the Great Wall, and then, the Tartars began to wreak havoc in the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

If there is no traitor to reveal the border defense of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tartars put so many passes on both sides of the Great Wall, instead of capturing them, they will run long distances and go straight to this border pass in the mountains, is Huang Taiji's brain sick? Moreover, if you look at the structure of the city and the degree of danger, anyone with a little military common sense will not choose the rocky mouth as the breakthrough. Only those who are extremely familiar with the Daming border pass and are familiar with the Daming border defense will know this place, and they will also know that the defending generals of Tushikou at that time were not in the city at that time!

The most bizarre thing is that when the Qing army attacked Tushikou, someone actually opened the city gate for the Qing army from the inside! If it weren't for this, how could the border city of Tushikou be so easily attacked by the Tartars! Throughout the battle between the Ming and Qing armies, the number of times the city was directly breached by the Tartars, in fact, it was only a handful, and most of the cities were opened by the traitors in the city, so that the defenders were defeated.

The Qing army knew one thing very well, that is, the stronger the fortress, the easier it was to attack from the inside, and the most skillful thing played by the Tartars was this means of instigating internal chaos.

Looking at the crowd at the city gate in a hurry to enter and exit the city gate, Yang Quan's thoughts were taken back, he smiled slightly, Xuanfu, I'm back! He shook the reins of his horse lightly and walked towards the city, but according to the rules, Yang Quan could only bring a few guards with him when he entered the city, but he could not enter the city with a team.

Yang Quan arrived in the city, his feet did not stop, and he went straight to the governor's yamen where Lu Xiangsheng was, but after Yang Quan knocked on the door, he knew that he had come at the wrong time, I don't know if Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to see Yang Quan because of the last time, or if he really went to the border to inspect as the sergeant said, anyway, Yang Quan was here for a closed door.

Yang Quan, who was helpless, had no choice but to hand over his own greeting to the soldiers guarding the door, left a letter, and then took the men and horses and went out of the city.

Since Lu Xiangsheng is not here, there is no need for him to stay in this Xuanfu, and when he arrived outside the city, Yang Quan took a deep breath, shook the reins of his horse, and led his soldiers to gallop in the direction of Jingshi.

Xuanfu, although the straight-line distance from the Beijing division is not far, in the final analysis, it is about three hundred kilometers, but if you let the horses gallop, it is a day or two of effort, but the horses in the army, really run down like this, the horses are probably going to run away, although now Yang Quan's horses are a lot, but he has not been extravagant to such a point, besides, even if it is the cavalry he brings this time, and some of them are riding horses, the horses that are really suitable for cavalry riding are not too much, besides, at the back of the team, There is also the baggage that Yang Quan carried, after all, these 400 people eat horses and chew, and it is not a small number, and the towns along the way have all been plagued by Tartars, and they have not recovered yet, where can they meet the consumption of such a group of people. So when he came out, Yang Quan brought enough supplies.

With the Kanhe of the military department, Yang Quan's group successfully arrived at the periphery of the Beijing Division, but Yang Quan considered that the team of 400 people, in this part of the Beijing Division, relatively speaking, was still too "huge", so he asked his soldiers to detour to Qingyuan from another road to wait for him, while he took about 30 guards and went towards the towering gate of the Beijing Division.

The mottled city gate is still that dilapidated appearance, the soldiers standing at the city gate are still the same weak and lazy appearance, this familiar scene reminds Yang Quan of the situation when he came to Beijing last time, he smiled slightly, and rode his horse towards the city gate.

A few soldiers guarding the gate who were basking in the sun by the city gate heard the sound of horses' hooves and looked towards Yang Quan, only to see a group of people riding horses in the distance, coming towards the city gate. The next person stood at the door with a spear in his hand: "Come, stop and dismount!" The capital is important, without the permission of His Majesty, all dismount! ”

Yang Quan rode his horse to the door, and then jumped off this horse, he is now just an ordinary three-rank general, where is the privilege of Emperor Chongzhen, so, in the face of the high hat buckled by the soldier guarding the door, he came down from this horse.

But at this time, Yang Quan didn't have to negotiate with these people in person, and even Hou Qi didn't have to go up to negotiate with the soldier guarding the door, Yang Quan's personal guard Wang Dong had already stood in front of the soldier, and said with his hand, "This little brother is invited, my general needs to report to the military department because of official business," he said and handed over the military department.

The soldier guarding the door glanced at this Kanhe, but secretly said unlucky, this is the third rank of the cavalry captain, although this is a meritorious position, but after all, this is a third-grade official, but also a high-ranking official of the border army with real power, of course he can't collect the cost of entering the city. However, if he is afraid of this, it may not be, after all, they are not under the same system, and no matter how big Yang Quanguan is, he can't control his head.

After the soldier waved his hand impatiently, Yang Quan led the people and horses into the city, they did not go to other places, but walked towards the Xingyu Tower in the city, and now, in this place, Yang Quan is the safest to stay.

But coming here, Yang Quan also has a purpose, after all, Yang Quan is not familiar with the Beijing Division, he needs a person who is familiar with the situation of the Beijing Division, to operate the relationship in the officialdom for himself, at least, he must visit several directors of the military department now. Otherwise, if you pass by the Beijing Division and don't go to the Beijing Division to report, these bigwigs will want to wear small shoes for themselves in the future, which is too simple.
