The vassal king of the Ming Dynasty was in the early years of Hongwu Yongle for a while, and now it has been many years since the vassal king was not summoned to the Beijing Dynasty, on the contrary, the three divisions also have the responsibility of supervising the vassal king, not to mention that there is nothing to do and not to go out of the fiefdom, even if people want to take a walk outside the palace, it is a major event to alarm the local government. Don't look at the role of the acting king, who is nominally a prince and uncle, but he can't compare with Zhuang Jian, the general soldier of Datong who holds heavy troops.

Therefore, Zhuang Jian said about the military rations, and Xu Xun was relieved. Before the war in Xuanfu was tight, a steady stream of military salaries and grain and grass supplies were sent to Xuanfu, Datong was a little careless, and the 1,000 stone grain of the king was also a charcoal in the snow. With such a personal favor, it is not surprising that Zhuang Jian is matchmaking.

"Although Mr. Zhuang said that he was not emotional, he should be cautious about this kind of thing in the future." Zhang Yong coughed dryly with a smile, raised the wine cup in front of him and took a sip, and then said, "The emperor's surname is indeed a novelty in everything, but this kind of kabuki is no matter how well it is trained, compared with the teaching department in the palace, it is also more wild, but the capital is so big, where can the emperor go?" What's more, after all, it is a person from the vassal king's mansion, in case those bosses notice the churning, the emperor is not good-looking, and the acting king will have to eat and hang, but the real unlucky one is still your Zhuang Zongbing. ”

Since Zhang Yong had already sung a black face, Xu Xun saw that Zhuang Jian was uncomfortable, so he naturally sang with a white face: "The achievements of the Datong soldiers in the previous World War were not small, and when the imperial court recounted the merits, Zhuang Zongbing was also indispensable. But how did this war come to this point, I think Mr. Zhuang should know the joints. The emperor is happy, but there must be some people who are unhappy, for fear that they won't be able to catch the handle and cut you down. Zhuang Zongbing is just useful, so Zhang Gonggong said the word cautious. ”

Zhuang Jian's blue and white face finally returned to nature. In all fairness, he accepted the few kabuki sent by the king, didn't he think that Xu Xun would inevitably be young and romantic, and he wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to please him? Although it was boring to have a hot face and a cold buttocks, but now that Xu Xun had said the word "big use", his heart couldn't help but heat up again.

"What Father-in-law Zhang taught me is that Lord Xu reminded me too." He just left the table and got up and took a deep look, seeing Xu Xun standing up and hugging him, he smiled and asked him to sit down, and then he sat down again, but his mouth was full of his confusion. waited until the half-truths and half-truths were set up by Xu Xun and Zhang Yong, and he finally understood that the sycophants of the acting king's trip were considered to be patted, so the conversation changed to another important matter.

"Although Zhang Jun, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, allocated a lot of men and horses to Lord Xu this time, and these defeated armies in the past have made many contributions, but the crime of defeat in the previous war is really rare after Tumubao...... I don't know what the imperial court's arrangements will be for the Xuanfu? ”

Xu Xun had discussed the matter of Xuanfu with Zhang Yong before, and now he heard that Zhuang Jian really asked, he exchanged a look with Zhang Yong, and asked bluntly: "Then Zhuang Zongbing thinks how to arrange it more appropriately?" ”

Although Zhuang Jian wanted to say that he was not in his position and did not seek his own government, but looking at Xu Xun's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and then looking at Zhang Yong's obviously more considerate appearance, he finally took back the words that came to his mouth, and after thinking about it for a while, he sighed and said: "The reason why I moved to Datong back then was because Zhang Jun, who was still the general soldier of Datong at that time, could not resist effectively, so that the thieves were able to plunder in Datong. It is also an important town on the nine sides, the north of Datong is a horse Pingchuan, but Xuanfu has Wanquan in front, just because the back is Juyongguan, which has the name of the first town. If I don't say it, it is very likely that the imperial court will order me to guard the Xuanfu this time, but this Datong will be difficult to do. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Jian paused, and then said word by word: "So, in my opinion, Zhang Jun's previous defeat in a hundred battles can make him guilty and make meritorious contributions, but the replacement of Xuanfu should still be cautious, not to mention that many of the people who followed Lord Xu to make contributions this time are his generals, and the imperial court should also think about this." Besides, I'm not afraid of exposing my own shortcomings, even me, among the nine-sided general soldiers, there is no one as incorruptible as Zhang Jun. Lord Xu and Father-in-law Zhang might as well go and inquire, all the income from his eunuch bag went to help the poor soldiers under his command, plus all kinds of pensions, the wife and children in his hometown wear old clothes all the year round, and the woman next to him is an old concubine who has served for many years. ”

Although Zhuang Jian's words also have some small calculations, they are more of the same general soldiers and famous border generals, and they can't help but feel sorry for each other. Seeing that Xu Xun and Zhang Yong didn't mean to stop him, he poured another full cup of drink, and then put down the wine cup and said: "Over the years, the little prince's departments have been disturbing the border every year, and there is almost no one in the nine sides who is not harmed, and we who guard these places are all old people, it is not impossible for one person to slack off, but is it that everyone is slack?" No, it's just that we know everything about our reality, and we don't know anything about what they're doing. I'm not afraid of your jokes, Lord Xu, I have also done things about prohibited trade, but in addition to making money, it is not without the meaning of exploring the truth of each department. ”

"If Zhuang Zongbing's words are heard by those bosses in the capital, they will inevitably be denounced as a big joke in the world."

Although Xu Xun said this sentence half-jokingly, Zhuang Jian still couldn't help but be very angry, and immediately sneered: "Among the elders of the DPRK and China, the one who wants to say that he knows the soldiers is not Liu Shangshu of the current military department, but Ma Shangshu of the household department, he has been the governor of Shaanxi for many years, and he once served as the trilateral general system of Yansui Ningxia and Gansu, which is true, but even if it is the situation of the captives he knows, it is also the old yellow calendar!" As for Liu Shangshu, he only served as the governor of the military affairs of Liangguang, and he was not really proficient in the military affairs of the Nine Sides. The little prince led the crowd to impress all the departments one by one, and his hand even stretched out to Duoyan Sanwei, but what about our Daming?

Blindly shrinking and shrinking, blindly sticking to it, but today's Mongolians are no longer Wuxia Ameng, they have gradually become accustomed to firearms, and are gradually good at attacking cities, otherwise our Ming Dynasty spent so much money to build the Great Wall, from the two sides of the big side to the second side, how about this battle of Xuanfu, the new opening of the Great Wall will have a big hole! The reason is simple, the newly opened Great Wall is secondary, far from being all made of stones like the big side of Juyong Pass, and the imperial court is also difficult to sustain. This time it was destroyed, that is, it was repaired with soil again, or Zhang Jun, at least half of this cost fell into the pockets of each layer. And instead of spending this money, why not put more effort into the grassland? If Zhang Jun hadn't been mistaken by the intelligence, he wouldn't have been so miserable before! ”

Although Xu Xun went out of Beijing this time to be driven to the shelves, from Xuanfu to Zhangjiakou Fort, and then to Shacheng to fight Qingshuihe, and finally to fight with reinforcements from both sides to win a battle, to say that what he values most is not just the military merits that are enough to make him really stand firm in the DPRK, but the connections at all levels in the army. Since he has encircled Zhang Jun, the general of the defeated army, he has no intention of returning such a person to the dynasty to be idle, and at the same time, Zhuang Jian, the general soldier of Datong, is also the top character on his list.

"Just being able to say this, it shows that Zhuang Jian is already a little convinced."

Although it was the weather at the end of June, after settling the drunken Zhuang Jian, Zhang Yong was accustomed to walking out side by side with Xu Xun with his hands in his hands. After saying this, he suddenly stopped, glanced left and right, and said to Xu Xun: "By the way, if it weren't for Yang Yiqing's suspicious soldiers when we withdrew this time, we wouldn't have retreated so smoothly. This person has a great reputation in Shaanxi, and he is a real talent, and he can't miss the opportunity......"

"The time will not come again." Xu Xun picked up Zhang Yong's words, and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, some of the old adults in the court are already dizzy. ”

"I knew you would say that!" Zhang Yong smiled knowingly, Shi Shiran followed Xu Xun a few steps forward, and then asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Yang Yiqing was seven years old and could write, he was once famous, Xianmiao specially said that he asked a famous teacher to teach him, and then he was fourteen years old in Xie Yuan, eighteen years old in Jinshi, it sounds like smooth sailing, but do you know what rank he was when he was in Jinshi? The ninety-fifth place in the top three is counted down. Because of this, he didn't choose Hanlin Shujishi, plus Ding Wei, his career was full of twists and turns, such a person with real talent and learning, but he has been pressed by others, this time he will be contaminated with the two of us, and he must be on the cusp after he goes back. Not to mention anything else, the imperial history and the people in the matter must go forward to the first wave. ”

Speaking of this, seeing Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully, Xu Xun didn't say anything clearly, but in his heart he was thinking that he had already put forward the left capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court of the Emperor of the Imperial Court of the Emperor of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court

And with the help of the springboard of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yang Yiqing entered the six ministries, and then entered the cabinet, which is not a problem. The important thing is that Yang Yiqing is not good-looking, but his bold spleen surname is more than Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua, who is a talent, and he has a lot of spleen and stomach, and he doesn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back!

After this banquet, Xu Xun still did not rashly set off from Datong, and also persuaded Yang Yiqing to wait for the news of the imperial court with him. After four days, he finally waited for Gu Dayong and Huitong from the capital, in addition to Zhu Houzhao's handwritten edict urging him to go back, there was also the news that Xiao Jing, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, was sick and bedridden due to heat stroke.
