Chapter 260: Again to Mashuikou
After the eunuch smiled and put away the silver, everyone surrounded Xiao Yi and the eunuch and entered the state city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The eunuch introduced the details of those Jingshi face saints to Xiao Yi as he walked, and soon arrived in front of the mansion, Xiao Yi asked a few maidservants to wait for the eunuch, and Wang Zhan led a group of scribes to constantly curry favor with him.
Xiao Yi led a group of generals into the inner hall to discuss, sat on the first place, and Xiao Yi groaned.
Shi Lu said in a deep voice: "This time the emperor's dictation is strange, my lord, I have to guard against it." ā
Liu Tong also saw some clues, and he said: "Maybe it's just that the emperor wants to meet the adult?" ā
Li Erniu said: "The eunuch just now said, 'There is no concern', which proves that this trip is unpredictable." ā
Xiao Yi already knew in his heart that Chongzhen would never kill himself because of this, after all, he was still a nobody, most likely because of the impeachment of himself by those officials and officials in Jingshi.
Is it auspicious or does he need to go up and down by himself, he stopped the speculation of everyone in the hall, and said calmly: "This official will enter the capital to face the saint in the near future, Shi Lu will go with me, after I leave, the affairs of the state city will be handed over to you to deal with, and there are some things that still need to go to the Lord Zhizhou to meet and see." ā
Xiao Yi glanced at Huang Yang and the others meaningfully, Huang Yang nodded his head, and the rest of them obeyed.
Xiao Yi continued: "Liu Sheng, you call the old brother from Liaodong, it's time for us to go back to Beijing to have a look." ā
Liu Sheng responded, and strode out of the Ethics Mansion to the barracks, and after a while, more than 30 veterans gathered in front of the Ethics Mansion, all dressed neatly.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yi mobilized a thousand taels of silver, at this time, a dozen taels of silver per catty, and a thousand taels weighed dozens of catties, all of which were placed on a horse.
Xiao Yi asked people to take out those rare calligraphy, paintings and treasures captured by Yang Wuyu and put them on another horse, Xiao Yi thought that when he arrived in Jingshi, he would also use a lot of things to make a point, and silver alone was not enough.
In addition to these, Xiao also ordered people to bring their military status, which is proof of military status, and entering Kyoto is a necessary guide.
Xiao Yi properly arranged all kinds of matters one by one, and after he left, the affairs of the state city would not stop, and the government affairs of the state city were always a place where Xiao Yi could not let go.
Immediately after everyone dispersed, Xiao Yi went to find Huang E, and the two said goodbye.
Huang E looked at Xiao Yi's back and couldn't help wiping her tears, but remembering what Xiao Yi said to herself, she rekindled her hope.
ā¦ā¦
Xiao Yi took Shi Lu and his party, followed the eunuch and Jinyi Wei to the Beijing Division, and only thirty-four people remained in the Liaodong old army, and at first more than one hundred young people, after such a long battle, they all became iron-clad men, but only these people remained.
They are the elite of the Yong'an Army, and the aura of slaughter from their bodies makes those arrogant brocade guards dare not underestimate them, and with the escort of this line of brave men, the eunuchs are also much more relieved.
The remaining thirty-four people, both in terms of official position and status in Xiao Yijun, were very high, and they were also embarrassed as Xiao Yi galloped forward in the cold wind.
Since Chongzhen only summoned Xiao Yi this time, Xiao Yi did not go to the Acropolis to say goodbye to the commander Zhao Ming and the soldier Nie Kegang, and ran all the way through the Acropolis, Changning Town, Peach Blossom Fort and other places.
Zhao Dahe, the defense officer of Peach Blossom Fort, and Yang Xiao, the management officer of Changning Town, are all cronies promoted by Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi and his entourage are all double horses, and the speed of the team is not slow, and they will soon leave the territory of Datong, and the familiar pass in front of them is Mashuikou.
Xiao Yi also remembered that he had been here when he came to the university last year, and now it seems that there is still no big change.
Mashuikou is located at the intersection of Xuanfu Town, Baoding Mansion and Datong Town, which is a must-pass place for entering Beijing, and many merchants have to pass through this place for purchase and shipment, so except for last year's war preparations, the doors here are wide open.
There were two garrison officers and soldiers wearing tattered clothes in front of the door, and there were a few sporadic officers and soldiers chatting and laughing at the head of the city, seeing Xiao Yi and his party galloping in the distance, Liu Rui, the general of the garrison on the wall, felt very familiar, and then saw the few people in gorgeous robes and robes, and his eyes suddenly opened.
The garrison general of Mashuikou is still Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng already knew that Xiao Yi was going to pass by him, and when he heard that he was about to reach the front of the pass, he immediately led a group of generals out of the city to greet him.
"This is not Xiao Ethics, what do you need to enter Beijing this time, even if you put it forward, it will be provided in full!" Wang Zheng said kindly to Xiao Yi and also to the eunuch.
Xiao Yi naturally understood that this Wang Zheng was not to himself, he smiled and said: "The Holy Lord has summoned, you can't delay the trip, and you will leave here." ā
"Hmm."
When the eunuch heard Xiao Yi's words, he nodded with satisfaction, and said weakly: "That... Wang Shoubei, there is no need to send it anymore, our family will go here. ā
Facing Wang Zheng and Liu Rui to the eunuch was respectful, and when he saw the big red official body that Xiao Yi was wearing, he was also surprised, and let Xiao Yi pass after a few words of greeting.
Looking at Xiao Yi and his entourage galloping by, Wang Zheng sighed from the bottom of his heart, thinking that when Xiao Yi passed by here last year, he was just an ordinary military household, and there were only these people with him.
But a year has passed, Xiao Yijian has developed a thousand-strong Yong'an army with less than 100 people, and he has also heard of the bloody battle in Ulzhou for three days, killing Wang Zishun.
Although he didn't have personal experience, it wouldn't be easy to think about, and he asked himself if he had the ability to stop Wang Zishun, let alone kill Wang Zishun.
Now Xiao Yi is the commander of the three products, and he has the honor of Xiao Cavalry Captain, and he has just made new contributions, and he is still a small garrison, I am afraid that Xiao Yi will enter Beijing this time, and he will be able to be at the same level as himself when he comes back.
The position that took him decades to climb to, Xiao Yi actually completed it in a year, and I have to admire Xiao Yi's strong official luck.
Soon after passing the Mashuikou, they arrived at the boundary of Shuntianfu, but at this time it was already dark, so they found a post station nearby to rest, this post station is called Laishui Station.
Started to set up with Yongle 11 years, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty is a fully functional post station, there is a garrison, Yongle 18 years set up a garrison to put the total, leading the army 200 in this town guard, and can be used as a post station, a military post dual-purpose.
The defense here is not much more than the ordinary Tunbao, and generally speaking, the officials and merchants of Datong Town must pass through this Laishui Post if they want to reach the Jingshi.
It's just that the fly in the ointment is that the terrain around this Laishui post is flat, it is not easy to defend, Longqing four years of garrison to set up a general change of defense officers and station officials to guard, the same year began to build the city and bricks, is now a small city.
Although Laishuiyi is located in the territory of Shuntianfu, it is directly under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town, and there are many shops in it, and there are many merchants who come and go.
If Xiao Yi came by himself, I am afraid that no one would care, but the eunuchs and brocade guards who returned together made the post officer a lot nervous, not to mention the horses, and made an exception to provide a lot of rice grain, and said that Xiao could also control the foot strength of the post station for free.
However, neither the eunuch nor Xiao Yi had any interest in taking care of these things, so they entered the post station to find an inn to live in, and early the next morning, they set off for Jingshi.
The rest of the post stations along the way are small in scale, Xiao Yi and his party just go forward, passing through Dafang Mountain, Fangshan and other places, although it is a major place in Gyeonggi, but it is still a dilapidated state and county, and there are sparse people within a hundred miles, which is also related to the Houjin entrance last year.
On the side of the road, I often see yellow-faced and thin homeless people, who either go to Beijing or go south, and I don't know how long the white bones on the roadside have been here.
Xiao Yi even saw that many hungry people starved to death on the side of the road while walking, and no one cared, and the eunuch and the brocade guard raised their heads as if they didn't pay attention to these things, and judging from their slightly frowning brows, they seemed to be a little bored.
This kind of tragic scene was something Xiao Yi didn't see last year, but he didn't expect that after a year, the vicinity of Gyeonggi would change like this.
Xiao Yi couldn't stop sighing, and Shi Lu, who was accompanying him, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, because he didn't have the ability to care about it, so the group sped up their foot strength and went straight to Jingshi. (To be continued.) )
