Chapter 527: The Unspoken Rules of Thistle Town
Since there is Lulongse, smoke and dust fly to this day.
From the Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui, Tang, Liao, Jin, and Yuan, whether it is called Panjiakou now or Lu Longsai in the past, all of them are battleground for soldiers. And because there are official roads outside and inside the customs at Xifengkou, and there is no official road in Panjiakou since the Yuan Dynasty, the roads that were connected inside and outside in the past are gradually abandoned, and the garrison here can only gradually take the Great Wall to enter the customs through Xifengkou. The city is built of rammed earth, the total is only a mile, but it was rebuilt after Qi Jiguang took office, and the total number of people stationed here under the command of Huaiyuan is only a few hundred.
Because the traffic in and out of Panjiakou is cut off, the soldiers have to go to Xifengkou to go in and out, and the rebuilt Baili Great Wall from Xifengkou to Panjiakou is also the same as before, quite gentle, can be ridden, and when entering the pier, they get off the horse and pull on foot. Wang Fulin came all the way, counted about the number, and found that from Xifengkou through the Great Wall to Panjiakou this road, a total of 21 piers, each pier has a Taiwanese army garrison, Qi Jiguang along the way to test the sentinel treaty, the law of preaching, not a single Taiwan army's answer is wrong, not only greatly admired, even the Shen family's uncles and nephews are all praised.
Set off before dawn in the early morning, stop and stop along the way, and when the group arrived at Panjiakou, it was already evening. Huaiyuan personally greeted the general road and welcomed everyone into the city. Wang Fulin saw that this Guancheng led directly to the Great Wall, and there was no other way in and out, except for the barracks and a few shops in the small Guancheng, there was no sign of any merchants, which showed that this kind of traffic was cut off from the place where the merchants were favored. Sure enough, after Lu Huaiyuan met Qi Jiguang, there were many complaints between his words, saying that most of the sergeants stationed here came to be punished or to fill the army, and the team was not easy to bring, especially when the Chinese New Year was approaching. However, there was a shortage of supplies in the city.
Wang Fulin couldn't help but glance behind him, and then remembered that Zhong Nanfeng didn't come with him this time, it should be because Shen Duan was worried that the rammer would say anything nonsense again, and leave the person in Xifengkou to train for a few days. If the guy who was miserable in Xifengkou had been sent to this more difficult Panjiakou before, I am afraid that he would have been driven crazy and become a deserter. Behind him, Shen Maoxue was talking to Shen Yourong. Wang Fulin only heard Shen Yourong, who was his nephew, whisper: "The soldiers and horses in this kind of place should be able to change their guards, right?" If you stay here for many years, the iron-beaten man can't stand it. β
Shen Maoxue glanced at Shen Yourong angrily, and then whispered thoughtfully: "But even if the defense is changed, if Panjiakou is used as a place to punish guilty soldiers, or to be used as a place for military prisoners, if it continues like this, military discipline will be slack, and it is inevitable that deserters will appear." Wait, say that it is the cut off from internal and external transportation. But from Panjiakou to the south, it is a horse Pingchuan, there are mountains but only small hills, I remember that during the Hongzhi period and the Jiajing period, the Mongolian army was raised twice from Panjiakou to enter the customs. It's just that there is no official road here, and it's not that you can't go. According to reason, it is not really cut off from business. β
In the end, it is a Southeast celebrity who also cultivates civil and military affairs, and even these are remembered very firmly! Wang Fulin saw that Shen Maoxue got to the root of the word in one sentence. couldn't help but move in his heart, and sure enough, he heard that Qi Jiguang in front of him didn't take a long way. Just looked at the south of the city and said, "The wooden shelves over there should be hanging baskets up and down the city wall, right?" β
Just a simple sentence, Lu Huaiyuan's face froze. Panjiakou only has the duty of defense, and does not have the duty of exploring the enemy, even if it is to explore the enemy, it is still relying on the piers on the Great Wall. According to the number of enemies that the Taiwan army has seen, it is not a scout to use beacons and artillery to inform the enemy of the number of troops. In addition, all the entry and exit are at the Xifeng Pass, and things like hanging baskets that let people in and out of the city are not necessary at all. After getting the news, he urgently notified the shops in the city to close their doors and take shelter, but he forgot to remove the wooden shelves above and below the hanging baskets!
At this moment. Even standing in the cold wind, he still felt a little sweaty in his head, and unconsciously whispered: "After all, the city is too closed, and sometimes the brothers have to go to the neighboring villages and towns to buy things......
Speaking of which, he couldn't even say it himself. Although Qi Jiguang is not as strict as the army in the southeast, the military discipline is also not a joke, if he is questioned, can he disturb the villagers, then what should he do?
Fortunately, Qi Jiguang did not continue to ask, and Lu Huaiyuan was finally relieved. And Wang Fulin, who was following behind, thought to himself, no wonder Wang Daokun said that Qi Jiguang had skills under his control, and this point was a trick so far. Sure enough, after entering Lu Huaiyuan's general office, Qi Jiguang never asked anything else, inspected some various documents, and counted the number of people after the generals gathered, he didn't even give a lecture, but just asked people to distribute all kinds of dried vegetables brought this time. For Northland, it's something more popular than jerky.
When the soldiers were happily receiving these New Year's supplies, Wang Fulin and the Shen family's uncles and nephews stood on the north wall and looked at the white expanse. This kind of midwinter season, of course, for ordinary people, they can't wait to stay at home, but for those nomads on horseback, it is not an insurmountable moat, taking advantage of the freezing of the Luanhe River to set off a war, which is strategically correct. Of course, if you really want to fight, every pass of the Jibei Great Wall may be attacked, and it is not limited to Panjiakou.
As for the hanging basket on the south wall, whether it is for merchants to enter the city, and whether the hanging basket on the north wall is used to sell goods to Mongolia, Qi Jiguang doesn't care, of course they can't care about it. Neither Wang Fulin nor Shen Maoxue had the intention of breaking this kind of window paper by writing on behalf of him. What can they do if the imperial court can't completely ban it?
On the return trip, it was already early in the morning of the third day, and Wang Fulin clearly saw that when Lu Huaiyuan saw him off in person, his face was full of courteous expressions. In the past two days, Qi Jiguang has not introduced him and the Shen family's uncle and nephew to anyone from beginning to end, Lu Huaiyuan only thinks that they are also staff, of course Wang Fulin will not show off, and the Shen family's uncle and nephew are also silent, neither of the real two staff members is silent, how does Lu Huaiyuan know about the mystery?
Just before getting on the horse, Wang Fulin also received a generous gift from Lu Huaiyuan in private. It was not silver, but a book wrapped in oiled paper, and he, who didn't know rare books, took it and asked the Shen family's uncles and nephews, but found that they all had a share, in Shen Maoxue's words, about a hundred gold.
For a staff member who is about 100 taels a year, it can be called a generous gift, and more importantly, it is not as vulgar as giving gold and silver, showing a different kind of elegance.
But since it's not a staff member. Wang Fulin always had to say hello to Qi Jiguang, but the chief soldier of Jizhen told him to accept it with determination. When he passed through a pier, Qi Jiguang deliberately hinted that he fell at the end of the line. He was puzzled, but he did so.
"A selfish general like Lu Huaiyuan is by no means unique among the Guancheng generals at all ports along the Great Wall. However, I can't ask every general to be single-minded. Therefore, they can only turn one eye open and close one eye. I told him this last time Brother Nan Ming came to inspect. Although Jizhen is not as bitter cold as Liaodong, it is hard after all. Therefore, it is the same reason as the high-tech Zheng Gong who used Yin Zhengmao Yin Gong at the beginning. β
Gao Gong said that he would rather give Yin Zhengmao more military expenses than embezzlement, but as long as he can clean up the mess and win a big battle. That's it!
"Therefore, since I took office, Jizhen's account books have been burned once a year, which is tacitly approved by Shoufu and now Tan Gong, the secretary of the military department."
If he can't deal with the bull ghosts and snake gods who have good dealings, especially some imperial histories, and his subordinates, he will have the support of the upper echelons. Can it be so smooth? Not to mention, he has to support his family himself. There is no habit of wronging yourself to eat bran vegetables. He is not Yu Dayou, and he can't be so honest and honest.
Wang Fulin didn't know why Qi Jiguang said this to himself alone, if he asked him to bring a message to Wang Daokun, it was not very similar, after all, with the friendship between Wang Daokun and Qi Jiguang, he had come to Jizhen to inspect before. These things should have been known for a long time. He vaguely felt that it seemed to have something to do with Mrs. Qi's Wang family running to him to make a big fuss before. There should be only a few of them in charge, but he doesn't know if the Wang family found Qi Jiguang to continue to make a big fuss afterwards. But the most embarrassing side was known to him, since Qi Jiguang couldn't extinguish his mouth. For Wang Daokun's sake, it's not surprising that he really treats him as his own.
"This time from Xifengkou to Panjiakou, your daughter-in-law did not follow her, do you know why?"
Qi Jiguang suddenly asked this, and Wang Fulin suddenly felt very puzzled. Xiaobei's reaction on the eve of his departure last night was indeed very strange, and he was not very comfortable. But how he thinks about it and how he feels weird, because he knows Zhu Zongji, a national player in the Tai Hospital, he knows very well about the bodies of his husband and wife, and they are all good enough to fight tigers. And after setting off from the capital, he was also more restrained in sexual affairs, after all, it would be a big trouble to get an unexpected child when he went out. Therefore, when he set off in the morning, Si thought that he was accompanied by the Shen family's uncles and nephews, and he followed Qi Jiguang, so he simply left Bizhu and the rest of his entourage to Xiaobei.
At this moment, he guessed the reason why Qi Jiguang asked this, and pretended to be puzzled and said, "Isn't it uncomfortable?" β
"After we arrived at Xifengkou, the night before we were going to leave for Panjiakou, Uchiko ordered a letter to be delivered, saying that we were going to return to Dengzhou. It's better not to see each other as husband and wife, but she hopes that Xiaobei can send her off. Although the husband and wife have respected each other like ice, I thought about it and still said it to your daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect her to agree readily, and even lied to you. I think when Nachiko was young, she was as stubborn and naΓ―ve as your daughter-in-law. β
Hearing Qi Jiguang's answer, Wang Fulin couldn't help but be stunned. Thinking about Wang Daokun's agreement that Xiaobei would follow him to Jizhen, he hoped that she would persuade the Wang family, but after dealing with that Mrs. Yipin that night, he didn't think that the Wang family, who had been paranoid to extremes, could persuade him to come back - of course, Qi Jiguang was not without responsibility, if he was like Wang Daokun, just because he wanted to continue the heir and accept a concubine, maybe the Wang family would endure it and it would be over. Now that both husband and wife are emotionally separated, no matter how deep their feelings once were, they must have come to naught.
Therefore, he did not express any opinion on what Qi Jiguang asked Xiaobei to do. But when he returned to the Xifengkou Guancheng General Office in the evening, he didn't have time to inquire whether Xiaobei had returned from the Santun camp, and he saw a chaotic scene here. Qi Jiguang's face turned cold, but Shen Duan, the general of the Fengkou Staff, was nowhere to be seen, and a personal soldier sent by Shen Duan to Wang Fulin before hurried to report the news.
"Dashuai, it was more than a dozen southerners who had filled the army who fought with people in the army, and eight or nine were injured."
