By the time they arrived, Yuan Chonghuan had already entered the city gate and was waiting on the tower of the Qiang Gate in the north gate of Hezhou City. Ｘ

Came to the Zhenqiang Gate, Zhao Dayin saw that the front and back of the city gate were the Hezhou guards under Ma Wanshou, and he did not doubt him, so he asked his guards to wait under the city, and then followed Mao Yujian and Ma Wanshou to the city tower.

There is a two-story city gate tower on the Zhenqiang Gate, and Yuan Chonghuan is waiting in it.

Mao Yujian led Zhao Dayin and Ma Wanshou to the city, and other attachés around Yuan Chonghuan led them to the building.

At this point, the situation is different.

Ma Wanshou, the subordinate of the commander of the Hezhou Guard, was separated from each other, and it was the soldiers and horses of the Governor brought by Yuan Chonghuan who separated them.

Zhao Dayin knew that he had offended Yuan Chonghuan very much, and when he came to the city, he didn't see Yuan Chonghuan, and he felt some panic in his heart.

But at this time, the cold wind was howling, and the city wall was unusually cold, and Yuan Chonghuan, who was the governor of the three sides, did not wait for him in the open air in the wind, or met with him at the head of the city to discuss the reason.

When they arrived at the foot of the steps outside the door, the non-commissioned officers of the Chinese army had already stopped them and motioned to Zhao Dayin and Ma Wanshou to untie their sabers.

It's the old rule.

Zhao Dayin and Ma Wanshou have already arrived here, and there is no room for hesitation.

However, when these two people saw that Yuan Chonghuan was so cautious, they were calm.

The two unsheathed their sabers and threw them at the soldiers who stood in the way, smiled at each other, and strode up the steps, crossed the high threshold, and entered the city gate.

Zhao Dayin laughed as he entered, and said loudly: "Since the Lord of the Ministry dares to personally lead hundreds of people into the border of Hezhou, why should he be so cautious at this time!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan, who was sitting on an official hat chair in the city gate tower, saw Zhao Dayin and Ma Wanshou coming in, and he was also relieved, and when he heard Zhao Dayin say so disrespectfully, he laughed instead of being angry, and said to the two people who entered the building:

"Although this official is the governor of the Qin order, how can he be cautious when he comes here? This is the place for the two of you, after all! ”

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan's words came out, Zhao Dayin and Ma Wanshou were all stunned, and even with Mao Yujian, they were surprised.

What does this mean!?

Zhao Dayin and Ma Wanshou saw Yuan Chonghuan saying these words with a smile on his face, and hurriedly looked at Mao Yujian, seeing that Mao Yujian was also surprised, and suddenly became vigilant in his heart, Ma Wanshou said:

"The Lord of the Ministry is wrong to say! This Hezhou Wei is the land of the imperial court, although my Hezhou Ma family is the hereditary commander of the Hezhou Wei, but it is also a well-documented imperial court official! ”

Zhao Dayin also said: "The Lord of the Ministry thinks that he is a newcomer, and he doesn't know the origin of this land of Taomin in Hezhou!" We were born and grew up in Si, and we have guarded the land of Taomin River for generations, and we are also ordered by Qin!

"Besides, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, the king's ministers, the ministers of the ministry and a certain people, although they are civil and military, but they eat the land of the Ming Dynasty and guard the boundaries of the Ming Dynasty!"

After Zhao Dayin finished saying this, he wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yuan Chonghuan, only to hear Yuan Chonghuan say sharply:

"Excellent! Zhao Dayin! The Holy Son of Heaven ordered his official to control all the soldiers and horses in the trilateral land, why did he transfer your troops to defend and prepare for capture, but you didn't shirk them? !

"The Holy Son of Heaven ordered that the Jesuit priests be allowed to come to the local mission, and the headquarters of the ministry provided protection for your ministry, why did you disobey the yang and yin, resulting in the continuous death and injury of the Jesuits?!"

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Chonghuan said a lot of things, all of which were scolding Zhao Dayin for disobeying the order and disobeying the dispatch.

At this time, Zhao Dayin realized that Yuan Chonghuan, the trilateral governor, was not here to discuss the preparation of border defenses to defend against Lin Dan Khan, but specifically against him, and he was also angry in his heart at the moment, waiting for Yuan Chonghuan to scold for a long time, and argued loudly:

"The humble position is a martial artist, not as clever as the master of the ministry, but there is no excuse for the crime that he wants to add!?

"The lowly duty led the troops to guard the border for decades, and he was injured in dozens of places, there is no merit, and there is hard work, where can the adults get along with the lowly duties? !

"If you want to dispose of your humble position, please also report to the court, please do it! If the court condemns the crime of lowly duty, the lowly duty is willing to be punished, otherwise please don't damage the reputation of the lowly office! ”

After Zhao Dayin finished speaking, he immediately turned around and wanted to leave.

However, at this time, He Renlong had already led his subordinates to block the door, and when he saw Zhao Dayin turning around and wanting to leave, He Renlong took the lead in drawing the knife in his hand.

At this time, Zhao Dayin and Ma Wanshou were furious in their hearts, and Zhao Dayin turned back to Yuan Chonghuan and said sharply:

"You are a civil official, how easy it is to rely on a few sour articles to become a Qingyun official to the governor! How do you know that my generation of border generals has worked hard for decades of hard fighting?

"Now that the adults have been on the three sides for less than two years, the people in the three sides have been turbulent, and the chaos is about to arise.

After Zhao Dayin said this, Yuan Chonghuan glared angrily, and said sharply: "Merit and demerit have their own public opinion, and non-yours can claim to be self-proclaimed!" The official was ordered to the governor on three sides, and the soldiers and horses on the three sides were all controlled, and your department repeatedly disobeyed the order, how could the official be spared!? This official came today to take the head! ”

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan said this, Zhao Dayin and Ma Wanshou were furious and shouted loudly: "The surname is Yuan!" How dare you?! ”

Mao Yujian, who led Zhao Dayin and Ma Wanshou to come, also shouted loudly at this time: "Think twice, adults!" ”

However, before Mao Yujian's words fell, He Renlong, who was standing behind Zhao Dayin, had already raised his knife and cut off Zhao Dayin's head with a knife.

The terrified Ma Wanshou was also hacked to death by the soldiers of He Renlong's department in the process of seizing the door.

Until Zhao Dayin and Ma Wanshounu opened their heads with their eyes open, and were carried by He Renlong one by one to Yuan Chonghuan's seat, Mao Yujian still couldn't believe everything in front of him, and said to Yuan Chonghuan:

"My lord! This is Hezhou City! How good is that? How's that good? ”

Cheng Benzhi, who had been standing behind Yuan Chonghuan, saw this and immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord! Without further ado! Please get down to the city and get out of here! ”

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he immediately walked out of the city tower under the escort of He Renlong's army and walked towards the city.

Zhao Dayin's department and Ma Wanshou's department, who were guarding downstairs, didn't know what was going on in the city tower at the head of the city, but they saw the governor hurriedly go down to the city, get on the horse and rush out of the door, doubting in their hearts, but they didn't dare to stop it.

Just when everyone was suspicious, the Hezhou guards at the head of the city suddenly shouted loudly:

"Big things are wrong! The commander and the general soldier Zhao were killed! The commander and General Zhao are all dead! ””

At this moment, Zhao Dayin's subordinates and Hezhou guards who were gathered under the city immediately became chaotic, and some of them pointed to He Renlong's subordinates who were galloping out of the city and shouted:

"It has to be them! They did it! They killed General Zhao and killed the commander! Can't get away with them! ”

The five hundred horsemen brought by Zhao Dayin from Taozhou immediately galloped out and chased after He Renlong's department.

He Renlong continued to leave a team of supervising cavalry and turned back to intercept the pursuers.

Fortunately, Hezhou is not far from Lanzhou, and Yuan Chonghuan and others, who galloped all the way to the north, until late that night, under the escort of He Renlong's department, called open the city gate and rushed into the Lanzhou Acropolis.

At this time, the 300 people He Renlong brought to Hezhou had already been killed and wounded, and only 21 horsemen were left who rushed back to Lanzhou.

Yuan Chonghuan and Cheng Benzhi planned that day, thinking that after taking the opportunity of the meeting to kill Zhao Dayin on the spot, with the identity of Yuan Chonghuan as the governor of the three sides, he showed the Shang Fang sword given by Emperor Chongzhen to the soldiers of Hezhou Wei, and he could get Hezhou City in one fell swoop.

As a result, when it came to the end, I knew that it was just a bookish atmosphere, and in fact it was not the same thing at all.

These Shizhen here, the Huimu Su Barbarian Jiangmen family who led their soldiers in the world, have too high prestige in the border areas of Hezhou, and they are not much different from the Tusi in the southwest.

The Musu barbarians only know their superiors, but they don't know that there is a court, and they don't listen to what you say about the court law.

Yuan Chonghuan, who returned to Lanzhou Weiwei City that night, and Cheng Benzhi and others, were all shocked and afraid.

Since then, I have also understood that I really underestimated the status of these Hui generals, and I also understood why at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, why Mu Suman was reused here and the family in it was the hereditary commander to guard the border for generations.

There is no hatred for no reason in this world, there is no love for no reason, and of course there is no reuse and trust for no reason.

The reason why things are the way they are must be the way they are, and there must be reasons behind them.

However, at the same time, Yuan Chonghuan and others were concerned about the situation in Gansu, Ningxia and Guyuan, where scripture halls and worship temples are everywhere.
