The Jingcha storm intensified, more and more Jin officials were dragged off their horses, and more and more people were sentenced to death and sentenced to have their homes raided.

Shen seems to have decided to shatter the rules of the previous political game once and for all and re-establish his own new rules.

In this context, Fang Shoushi was soon asked to leave for Datong to take up his post, and he went with the first batch of military expenses and weapons and equipment allocated by the imperial court of 630,000 taels of silver.

This can be regarded as building momentum for Fang Shoushi, allowing him to gain a firm foothold and gain recognition faster.

The imperial court gave Fang Shoushi a deadline of ten days and asked him to rush to Datong City to take office, and Fang Shoushi had to drag his old body and go to Datong with a group of men and horses who had just experienced the catastrophe of the Northern Captives.

On April 23, the 26th year of Wanli, Fang Shoushi rushed to Datong, and this day happened to be the day when the Beiyu attacked the Ming army for the third time to kill the Hukou camp and Xiao Ruxun led the troops to counterattack.

After Fang Shoushi arrived in Datong, he learned from the mouths of the soldiers sent by Xiao Ruxun to Datong to greet him that Xiao Ruxun was fighting fiercely with the Beiyu, so he took the silver and rushed to kill Hukou non-stop.

When Fang Shoushi arrived at Kill Hukou, it was the time when the sun was setting, and the entire Kill Hukou camp had gradually calmed down.

In the early hours of this morning, the Beiyu raided and killed the Hukou battalion, Xiao Ruxun had already prepared, led the troops to counterattack sharply, and after a fierce battle, repelled the 20,000 sneak attack troops of the Beiyu.

It's not that Xiao Ruxun blindly defends and is unwilling to attack, but has to defend and can't attack.

The reason is simple - the ordnance and equipment are consumed, especially gunpowder and lead, which are consumed.

When the northern captives swept south and swept through Datong, Shanxi, the key attack was the arsenals in various places, the arsenals in various places were looted, and the warehouses in many places were looted and then burned.

Xiao Ruxun urged the imperial court to allocate ordnance and military expenses several times, and the imperial court was also at a loss, and it was easy to persist until now, but it was unable to take the initiative for more than ten consecutive days, which made the whole army from Xiao Ruxun to the soldiers feel a little aggrieved.

Fortunately, the ordnance and military expenses allocated by the imperial court arrived with the arrival of the new governor of Datong, and Xiao Ruxun was finally able to rearm his army and prepare to take the initiative to march into the Northern Expedition.

Just after the first battle, Xiao Ruxun put the northern captives into the big camp, trapped a large number with a large array, and beheaded more than 1,000 people, and the remaining northern captives fled and were pursued by Li Rusong and led the army for a while, killing a number of them, and less than half of them fled.

Beiyu is getting more and more impatient, according to Xiao Ruxun's judgment, Beiyu's food has almost bottomed out, if he hadn't been dragging them away, it is estimated that they have already run away, so the good chance of annihilating them is gone.

Fortunately, the Fang guards arrived with equipment and military salaries, and Xiao Ruxun breathed a long sigh of relief.

A large part of the reason why soldiers fight is to reward money, and the encouragement of famous generals can only account for part of the reason, and it is necessary to reward money and encourage both to be useful, no, it has only been half a month, and the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan and Yulin are a little slack.

Fang Shoushi came in time, Xiao Ruxun was very happy, and sent people to guide them along the way, so that they could rush to the Hukou camp as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, Xiao Ruxun really doesn't know much about the number one person of Fang Shoushi, and he hasn't heard of it, but since he can be selected as the governor of Datong at this time, it can be seen that this person is by no means an ordinary scholar, and he is also a civil general who has fought a war.

Xiao Ruxun learned that this person was well versed in border affairs, had served on the border in various places, had an understanding of military affairs, was better at resuming production, and was a practical person in internal affairs and military affairs.

It's just a little older, sixty years old, and it's not a good character to get along with, after all, he is only twenty-eight, and this person is already sixty, and he can be regarded as his grandfather in terms of age, but he is his subordinate.

These sub-civil officials are really trying to find a constraint for themselves and find an unhappy place.

But there is no way, people bring money to raise, the God of Wealth.

At sunset, the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Xiao Ruxun took a group of generals under his command to take a bath, change into clean armor, and go to greet the sixty-year-old man together.

Fang Shoushi didn't think about putting up a fight, as soon as he heard that Xiao Ruxun was fighting, the whole person was in a hurry, so he put down the pick and arranged for someone to run with him to the Hukou camp, and at the same time quickly arranged for the sergeant to send military pay and supplies to the Hukou camp.

He ran relatively fast, followed by Sun Chengzong and a few domestic slaves around him, as well as a dozen or so knights, and ran to the camp of killing Hukou very boldly, and saw Xiao Ruxun and the generals who were waiting for him at the gate of the camp.

Xiao Ruxun stood alone in front of the generals, not riding a horse, not equipped with a sword, just standing and waiting, tall and smiling, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Fang Shoushi saw Xiao Ruxun and the generals from afar, and was thinking about whether to ride over or dismount and walk over, and Sun Chengzong next to him spoke.

"Dong Weng, Xiao Zhennan personally went out of the camp, the posture has been done very well, looking at it, it should be a victory in the war, we should get off the horse and walk, we can't ride the horse over, otherwise it will be rude."

Fang Shoushi is right to think about it, this look is to win the battle and line up to ask for rewards, if you pretend to be, not only can not show your majesty, but it is also easy to provoke the displeasure of the army, you know, there is not only Xiao Ruxun here, but also the arrogant Li Rusong who dares to fight with the governor.

Zhu Yijun likes Li Rusong very much, always towards him, this is known to the whole court, no one wants to be unhappy with Li Rusong, there is no benefit when the time comes, and he will be fishy.

So, after a distance, the Fang Shoushi dismounted, and the entourage and sergeant around him also dismounted together, and walked towards Xiao Ruxun.

Over there, Xiao Ruxun was relieved to see Fang Shoushi and the others dismount and come on foot.

If the old governor insisted on not giving him face and came on horseback, he wouldn't say anything, but the generals behind him wouldn't necessarily think so, everyone had won a lot of battles, and they had a sense of arrogance, and if there were literati bullying them with the status of literati at this time, it would really be easy to cause a mutiny.

Fortunately, Fang Shoushi is well versed in border affairs, has scruples in his heart, and does not intend to force the score.

"Datong Governor Fang Shou, meet the Governor!"

The Fang Shoushi walked towards Xiao Ruxun steadily, and after a little distance, he gave up.

That's the limit of what he can do.

Xiao Ruxun stepped forward quickly and helped Fang Shoushi: "Don't be like this, please get up quickly, Fang Gongzi is thirty years old, so wouldn't it be as tormented as Xun." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Shoushi felt comfortable, and Sun Chengzong was also relieved.

Xiao Jixin, Xiao Zhennan, really understands etiquette, not as vulgar as ordinary generals, no wonder many people in the group have a good impression of him, and when the governors of border towns communicate with each other, there are many words of praise for Xiao Ruxun.

Everyone take a step back, hello, hello, hello, everyone, that's it.

A smile also appeared on the face of the Fang Guard.

"The Governor is the Governor after all, and the etiquette cannot be abolished."

"This is a military camp, all of them are in the army, don't care too much about the ordinary etiquette, Fang Gong, I have prepared a banquet for Fang Gong to wash the wind and dust, and I invite Fang Gong to go with me."

"Good!"

Xiao Ruxun took the lead and asked the house guards to go to his camp together to pick him up and wash the dust.
