Chapter 943: The Old Man (Part I)

Although the Qincha team was still a short distance away from the gate of Datong, the officials who came to the gate to greet them and the people and soldiers who followed them could clearly see that these people from the capital actually came on foot, which made everyone below Zhou Zechuan moved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Especially the ordinary soldiers, they saw from Yang Zhen's actions that they respected themselves and Datong City, which was more impactful to them than saying tens of thousands of good words and words of condolence, and many people even had a little red in their eyes.

Only those who had experienced Zhong Yu's walk into Datong City a few years ago seemed a little calmer, but they were also a little moved. After all, in the past few years, Datong has also received a lot of chases, but only this one has done so.

Of course, there are also people with different opinions, such as Guo Rong, who pouted at this time and whispered: "Handan toddler, Dongshi follows suit." ”

"Huh? What does Mr. Guo mean by this? Although his words were very light, they still fell into the ears of Zhou Zechuan beside him, which made the governor's brows furrow. Because Guo Rong's qualifications are far beyond him here, and he holds military power, he, the governor, really can't suppress him, and there are some contradictions recently.

Guo Rong saw that it would take some time for Yang Zhen and them to come over on foot, so he explained in a low voice: "Lord Governor doesn't know, a few years ago, this Lord Qincha also came to Datong as a deputy envoy when he was still a Jinyi Wei Qianhu......

Zhou Zechuan then understood, but he did not look down on Yang Zhen because of this, after all, it is easier said than done, even if he knew that this approach would win people's favor, but how many of those imperial court officials were willing to surrender their identities to do such a thing? From this, it can be seen that this Yang Dudu is indeed very incomparable.

Together with this thought, Zhou Zechuan was vigilant again, the news about the various malpractices of the border army in the DPRK and China has not been reported back recently, and he naturally knows what Yang Zhen came to Datong for this time. Originally, I thought that the focus of their time should be in Xuanfu, and they should go there first, but they suddenly came to Datong directly, and it is difficult to say what is hidden in it.

But after all, Yang Zhen represents the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, even if Zhou Zechuan and his subordinates are muttering in their hearts, they must also put on a jubilant appearance at this time, especially when the team comes closer, they and the officials who greet them are even more striding forward to salute, and then bow to the ground: "The ministers have asked Your Majesty for peace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The welcoming procession composed of nearly 1,000 military and civilian officials bowed down and kowtowed at the same time, which was quite spectacular. But Yang Zhen, who was standing at the front of the Qincha team, was calm and calm, and only bowed his hand slightly in the direction of Beijing: "Holy bow." Then, as soon as he spread his hands, someone handed him a holy decree issued to the defenders of the border area, and Yang Zhen used the power of the dantian and read it out loud.

Although this holy decree is written a little awkwardly and the rhetoric is gorgeous, Yang Zhen has already seen it well along the way, so it is clear to read it at this moment, and there is no stumbling at all. This only affirmed the merits of the Datong officials and generals in defending the city against the enemy, and expressed condolences for this, and proposed that Yang Zhen would inspect the troops in it. At the end, it was also mentioned that the imperial court would have a reward next......

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this will, but those who are familiar with the situation of the border army can still faintly see some clues, especially when combined with the recent news from the capital, which makes people even more uneasy.

But after all, this is what the imperial court should do, and the officials and generals here do not dare to disobey, so they have to only say yes, and then bow down again, saying that they obey the order.

It wasn't until this whole set of regulations was completed that Yang Zhen stepped forward and handed over the holy decree to Zhou Zechuan's hands, and took the opportunity to help him up: "Governor Zhou, please hurry up, and you will have to cooperate with this official in the next period of time." ”

"The lower officials should do their best to cooperate with Lord Qincha." Zhou Zechuan hurriedly smiled and said to him.

As he spoke, Yang Zhen picked up several other officials around him, but he seemed quite friendly, especially when he helped Guo Rong up, he patted him on the shoulder: "General Guo, don't come unharmed, I didn't expect that after a few years, you and I will meet here again." ”

"Hehe, yes. When I worked with Yang Dudu, the last general saw that you would be able to make a difference, but now it seems that the last general's vision is still a little short-sighted, and it has only been a few years, and you have reached such a high position, which is really ashamed. Guo Rong was busy as if he was emotional, and he replied as if he was flattering.

"What am I doing, Mr. Guo and you can always stay in Datong and work hard for me to stabilize the Ming Dynasty, which is the most admirable." Yang Zhen praised everyone before he said to him again: "At that time, this official will hold a banquet in the city to reminisce about the old days, and I hope that General Guo will not refuse." ”

Seeing him and Guo Rong politely like old friends, Zhou Zechuan's heart tightened again, and his expression changed a little. And Guo Rong also felt this, but it was difficult to refuse, so he could only nod a little reluctantly: "Since Yang Dudu opened his mouth, the last general naturally did not dare to refuse." ”

"So that's settled." Yang Zhen bowed his hand again, and then bowed slightly to the others, and then his eyes swept over the faces of the middle-level military attachés such as the deputy commander or Mr. Qian, and he also met and got to know them.

No one noticed that his gaze showed a tacit smile when it made contact with one of them, and the man returned the same smile. This guerrilla general, who does not look too conspicuous among the generals, is Xiao Duo, who has fought against the enemy with Yang Zhen in the southwest!

After breaking Yang Yinglong's rebellion and the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, many officials and generals in the southwest were promoted, and as one of the most important heroes, Xiao Duo was naturally among them.

But his thoughts are very different from ordinary people, because he was squeezed out of the border army at the beginning, which has always become his heart disease, and he could have been arranged by Yang Zhen to go to the capital after his counterinsurgency and meritorious service, but he simply refused this kindness.

In this regard, Yang Zhen was also puzzled at first, but after the exchange of several letters, he understood the other party's aspirations. Thinking that this person really had a hand in combat, and he also hoped to have some team in the army, he used his connections to get Xiao Duo to Datong as a middle-level officer.

Unexpectedly, after a few years of work, Xiao Duo has really grown a lot, and he has become a guerrilla general, which is also a big gain. In fact, Yang Zhen suddenly changed his mind and came here this time, also because of this consideration, after all, there are his own people in the army, and some things are always much easier to do.

Speaking of his own people, Yang Zhen's eyes searched among the generals again, but after turning around twice, he didn't see that familiar figure - Nie Fei!

With the fixity of the Ming army, Nie Fei should still be in Datong. And he was already a thousand presidents at the beginning, even if he suffered qualifications, he should be the same as Xiao Duo, but why don't you see him today? Could it be ...... A not-so-good speculation came to Yang Zhen's mind.

But this is not the time to ask, Yang Zhen quickly refocused his energy on the front of him, and exchanged pleasantries with Zhou Zechuan and others for a while, and then walked into Datong City after a few years of absence surrounded by these people.

Seeing that everyone was still walking into the city on foot, Xia Zhuluan, who was following behind, sighed again. Although someone supported him, after walking for a few miles, he was already sweaty and heavy, his feet were sore and painful, and he just wanted to sit down and gasp. But in this case, what else can he do, a completely neglected deputy? I had no choice but to curse Yang Zhen in my heart, while enduring the discomfort of my body and the pain in my feet, I continued to move forward step by step.

Yang Zhen naturally didn't have the heart to care about Xia Zhuluan behind him at this time, he was very emotional when he came to Datong again, and at this moment he was putting all his attention on looking at everything around him.

A few years of time for the city of this era is almost useless, especially in a border town like Datong, there is no possibility of any development, the roads and buildings in the city are still the same as they were, it seems so vicissitudes and quaint, but the people are no longer the original people.

After walking for a while, I came to the governor's yamen, and not far from here, there was another vacant courtyard, which was Zhong Yu's Qin Cha Xingyuan. Seeing that Yang Zhen's gaze fell on that side, Guo Rong smiled and said, "Yang Dudu, when Zhong Qin sent him from the previous time, he resolutely refused to keep Xingyuan, I don't know what you mean this time?" ”

"Haha, how can I compare to Lord Zhong? He had already made arrangements, and I, of course, obeyed the arrangements of the adults. Yang Zhen said: "But today's reception banquet is still simpler, after all, we have been quite difficult along the way, and we just want to rest first." ”

"Yang Dudu is really a cheerful person." Guo Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered someone to arrange the Qincha team to be in the middle, and at the same time let a garrison in the city temporarily move out of the city and give up the garrison to the Qincha guards.

When they were busy working over there, Yang Zhen and the others had already entered the governor's yamen, and at this time, they were already preparing to eat and drink. Although the other party agreed, the banquet was still quite rich.

This time, because of the lesson learned a few years ago, these border army generals and officials did not dare to do anything anymore, so this banquet was quite enjoyable, until it was getting dark, and then the joy was gone.

Subsequently, Yang Zhen was sent to the side of the Qin Mission. It wasn't until he settled down that Zhou Zechuan and the others relaxed, but their hearts were still full of questions, and they didn't know what Yang Zhen would do or say next.

And just after everyone dispersed and returned to calm, a figure jumped over the high wall of the line and climbed into it while others were not paying attention......
