The army stopped at a distance of twenty miles from Xuanfu, because there were thousands of horsemen waiting in front, and the leaders were Jiang Huaixin, the governor of Xuanfu, and Wang Chong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu.

Wang Chong looked at the pioneer camp in front of him with scrutinizing eyes, and heard that the Governor was good at training, and he looked really good, and he looked good. Thinking like this, there were already hundreds of horsebacks coming, and the first one was a young man who looked extremely noble, wearing an embroidered python suit, and there was no doubt that this was the Governor.

What a fucking youth! Wang Chong felt a sense of absurdity, his son looked older than the governor, but he was in the position of governor, and he was the most powerful minister in the court.

The question is, is such a young governor reliable? Even if it is Emperor Zhengde Hu Lai, the bachelors of the cabinet and the secretary of the military department are inevitably too nonsense! Although the Governor was young and noble, he did not come in a carriage, but on horseback.

Wang Chong didn't know Zhang Zhijie, but Jiang Huaixin knew Zhang Zhijie, or he had seen Zhang Zhijie. Jiang Huaixin immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Jiang Huaixin, the governor of the Xuanfu Mansion, led the civil and military officials of the Xuanfu to meet the Governor, and welcome the Governor to the Xuanfu!" The Xuanfu is full of fluffy flowers! ”

Wang Chong was not far behind, and immediately stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Wang Chong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, welcome the governor!" No matter what he thought in his heart, he showed great respect, after all, although the Governor looked young, he was really powerful! He, the general soldier, is really not enough in the eyes of the Governor.

The generals behind also saluted, Zhang Zhijie smiled and raised his voice: "Excuse me, excuse me, now that the autumn defense is imminent, there is a change in Duoyan Sanwei, and the emperor ordered the governor to come to the governor's military affairs, and he has to rely on the soldiers more." ”

Jiang Huaixin smiled when he heard this: "Your Excellency the Governor has made great achievements in the Northern and Southern Wars, and our border soldiers have always admired it. Please enter the city, Your Excellency! ”

Wang Chong and his soldiers responded in unison: "I respectfully invite the governor to enter the city!" ”

Zhang Zhijie heard the words and got on the horse, Jiang Huaixin and Wang Chong also got on the horse and followed, and the generals and guards surrounded Zhang Zhijie into the city, along the way Jiang Huaixin and Wang Chong introduced the battles that had broken out here.

Xuanfu City was full of bones, and Zhang Zhijie entered the city with a heavy mood. But the scene in the city is different from what Zhang Zhijie imagined. There is no scene of chaos in the city, nor does it look dilapidated and bitter cold, but it looks a little prosperous!

Yes, prosperous, Zhang Zhijie does have such a feeling. Although it can't be compared with the capital, and it can't be compared with the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south, compared to the devastation that Zhang Zhijie has seen along the way, it does look a little prosperous.

Seeing that the Governor's face was different, Wang Chong smiled and said, "Your Excellency, is the scene of Xuanfu City different from what the Governor imagined?" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "It is indeed beyond the expectations of this governor, it is said that the border town is bitter cold, but I didn't expect that Xuanfu City would be so prosperous!" ”

Wang Chong explained with a smile: "Tens of thousands of troops are stationed in Xuanfu, people eat horses and chew, there are many businessmen looking for business opportunities, and the soldiers in the border towns are pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers to live, and they are willing to spend silver, so over time this place has become more and more prosperous!" ”

Jiang Huaixin snorted: "Merchants are very profitable, even if the border town is dangerous, they will come after profit!" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled at this, although it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, it has also led to the development of society, if there are no these businessmen, wouldn't the town be in a depression? The border town is already bitterly cold, and if it is in such a depression, it can really drive people crazy!

After entering the city, Jiang Huaixin and Wang Chong instructed their subordinates to settle the Jingying army, and they led the governor and his personal guards to continue to the city.

Until I arrived at a magnificent mansion, the plaque on the door of the mansion had several big characters "Zhenshuo General's Mansion" on the plaque of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing. Zhang Zhijie listened to the reins of the horse, and looked up at this door plaque, this is the Xuanfu General Military Mansion.

Wang Chong smiled and said: "Your Excellency, the officials in the palace have already been properly dispatched, and I also ask the Governor not to dislike the shabby general's mansion." ”

Zhang Zhijie understood what Wang Chong meant, he was giving up his mansion. Zhang Zhijie slowly shook his head and said: "General Zhenshuo's Mansion is the general military palace of Xuanfu, this is a traditional rule, and it is also the glory of the general army of Xuanfu who is not afraid of the bitter cold to guard the border for the imperial court. ”

Wang Chong said with a smile: "Your Excellency is a noble governor, this Xuanfu City is also this mansion, and the next official is a rough military man, and it is the same wherever he lives!" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "Although the governor is appointed to the governor's military affairs, the governor is only here to boost the morale of the soldiers in the border towns, and Lord Jiang and General Wang are old in military affairs, so they are the mainstay of the Xuanfu." ”

"How can this governor be a disgrace? I think that when the Governor went to sea with the fleet, he was in a low cabin all year long, and he felt quite comfortable! So there's no need to be so troublesome, just find a small courtyard for Bendu! ”

Seeing that the Governor insisted, Wang Chong and Jiang Huaixin could only give up, but they could not really find a small courtyard for the Governor, but found a general's mansion, although it was not as good as the Zhenshuo General's Mansion, it was one of the best in Xuanfu City.

Seeing that the Governor was not dissatisfied, Wang Chong and Jiang Huaixin were relieved. Although it is a temporary requisitioned courtyard, it has all kinds of maids and mothers-in-law, all of which were transferred by Wang Chong from his own house.

Wang Chong smiled and said: "My lord, these maids and wives are all from the border towns, and they are very coarse, if the adults feel uncomfortable, the officials are changing the adults!" ”

Zhang Zhijie waved his hand and said, "It's already very good, thank you Lord Jiang and General Wang for your trouble." ”

Jiang Huaixin said with a smile: "The adults have been tired all the way, and the officials and others will not disturb the adults to rest." In the evening, the official set up a banquet for the adults to catch the wind and wash the dust, although there is no delicacies in this town, but there are also rare game in Beijing, but it also has a different flavor! ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "I'm used to eating the food of Jingshi, and it's good to be able to taste the delicious food of the border town!" ”

Seeing that the Governor was kind and pleasant from beginning to end, Jiang Huaixin explained with a smile: "Originally, the Governor was here, and all the generals of the Xuan Mansion should gather to welcome the Governor. It's just that now that the autumn defense has begun, Duoyan Sanwei has already shown signs of mobilizing troops, so the generals from other roads did not rush to Xuancheng, and they also hope that the governor Haihan! ”

As soon as Jiang Huaixin's words fell, Wang Chong paid attention to the look of the governor. But Zhang Zhijie's expression did not change in any way, and he still looked like he was smiling.
