The time has reached the middle of April, and Zhu Changhao led more than 10,000 people to Guyuan Town, which can be said to be the lowest dimension among the nine border towns. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But the area of the guard is indeed not small, according to the division of the responsibilities of the nine border towns, Guyuan Town governs the Great Wall from the east to Raoyang, Yansui Town. The western boundary of the water fort, west of Dalanzhou, Lintao, the total length of 1,000 miles.

When Zhu Changhao arrived at Guyuan Town, he found that this military fortress border city was much better than Ningxia Town, at least it did not have the gloom and hunger of Ningxia Town.

In the general army mansion of Wang Chonggu, the chief soldier of Guyuan Town, Zhu Changhao looked at the three-way defense map of Guyuan Town, and it can be seen from the defense road map that the whole line is divided into eastern, middle and western roads. On this route of more than 1,000 miles, there are often Jin merchants entering and leaving Tumut, trading with the grassland, and it is also a little popular.

There is popularity, this Guyuan town general soldier can receive a little money and goods, but unfortunately, in recent years, the rise of Liaodong Tartar, Jin merchants are gradually decreasing, they began to take the route of Datong and Xuanfu, resulting in the Jin merchants who pass through Guyuan White Horse City every year are three melons and two dates, and the snub in front of the door is really immediate.

That night's reception banquet was held on the Feihe Tower in Guyuan City, and Zhu Changhao led everyone to participate, even Wu Keshan went.

On the Feihe Tower, Zhu Changhao and Wang Chonggu were toasting together, staggered, and there was a harmonious atmosphere. After being full of wine and food, Wang Chonggu and Zhu Changhao also went to the top Qinglou in Guyuan and Qunfang to drink flower wine.

That night, Wang Chonggu stayed in Qunfang Building, and Zhu Changhao and Wu Keshan returned to the Governor's Palace.

Zhu Changhao drank on the Qunfang Tower, he was really not happy, that Wang Chonggu was not a good thing at first glance, as the chief soldier of a town, he was drunk, and he stayed in the Qinglou overnight, once the enemy came to attack, it would be a disaster. In addition, Zhu Changhao, as the envoy of the Northern Kingdom, Wang Chonggu actually blatantly stayed in the Qinglou at night under his face, which was Hongguodi's contempt for Zhu Changhao.

In the General Soldier's Mansion, Zhu Changhao asked Liu Zheng to carry Wang Chonggu's back. Jing information was brought, and it turned out that this guy was now a cronie of Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and every year from the border merchants, as well as drinking the blood of soldiers, etc., got two taels of silver, and thirty percent of them were filial piety to Yang He.

In recent years, Yang He, as the governor of the three sides, has made great achievements in recruiting peace and pacifying the displaced people, and in the imperial court, whether it is the first assistant to become the foundation of the life, or the Shangshu of various ministries, Yang He is very supportive, escorting, and there are people in the court who are good officials.

Seeing this, Zhu Changhao looked at the deep and lofty night sky, thinking of an evaluation of Yang He in the past, he felt a little in his heart, it is really not easy to be an official, Yang He is still honest, he is from a scholarly family, although he gets some money every year, he doesn't get much, but rewards those Beijing officials in Beijing.

The feudal officials must sit firmly, and someone must speak for you in the court. Wang Chonggu is Yang He's cronies, and Yang He naturally wants to speak for him and stand on the platform, which shows that Wang Chonggu will generally not fall.

Besides, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, especially the vassal kings in various places, has a very low status and power. Now although Zhu Changhao is the most powerful prince of the Ming Dynasty, and has both the northern and southwest economic envoys, in Wang Chonggu's eyes, it is a grasshopper after the autumn, and it can't grow.

Regarding Wang Chonggu's attitude, Zhu Changhao just said that this person is a person without virtue and talent, and you must know that when Yang He appeased and recruited the local displaced people last year, the main reason for his success was to obtain Zhu Changhao's support, which was not only supported by money and food, but also by strong military force.

In order to be responsible for the thousand-mile guard line, Zhu Changhao had already made up his mind at this time to remove Wang Chonggu and replace him with his own people as the general soldier of Guyuan Town.

Since it was decided to take out Wang Chonggu, Zhu Changhao was also very dissatisfied with people like Yang He. In Zhu Changhao's impression, although Yang He is a little bookish, he still has the people in his heart, but it is a pity that people who are bookish and angry have had a stubborn problem of "lightness" since ancient times. Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, this is the truth.

In addition, Zhu Changhao has never taken Yang He in his eyes, and now he is still making him the governor of the three sides, because he has not damaged the overall situation, and the overall environment of the northern country has not been affected.

Guyuan Town, General Military Mansion.

In the evening in the General Soldier's Mansion, Zhu Changhao, Liu Zheng, Sun Chuanting, Bu Mu Butai, Hai Lanzhu, and Wu Keshan sat in the living room, drinking tea and soup, and talking some small words.

During this period, Wu Keshan spoke, "Brother-in-law, Xiao Wang has been from Gansu Town to the current Guyuan Town, and he feels that the border town army of the Ming Dynasty is very fragile. If there are other tribes in our steppe like this, they will definitely be swallowed up, after all, the people of the Immortal Heaven believe in the wisdom of wolves. You see, when the wolves are hunting their prey, the wounded, or the weak, or the weak, will always be bitten to death. Now such a weak border town, if I were Tumut Khan, I would have attacked it several times. ”

Zhu Changhao listened to Wu Keshan say this, and smiled slightly in his heart, "Hehe, what the brother-in-law said is reasonable to a certain extent, but unfortunately, you forgot, once they break through Guyuan Town, they don't dare to go deeper." To put it presumptuously, below Guyuan Town is Pingliang Mansion, if you really attack Pingliang Mansion, the king's Qinglong Army, and the Longxiang Army, it is now a cavalry of 60,000 people. At that time, once he is outflanked, not to mention Tumut, even the most powerful Lin Dan Khan in the east, will only be wiped out. Last time, the slave chief Huang Taiji led a 100,000 Jiannu army to attack the Beijing Division, and the king only had 20,000 Longxiang troops. ”

After Zhu Changhao finished speaking, he didn't say much, but Wu Keshan listened to this and nodded silently. According to the Horqin warriors who returned from the defense of Beijing, Zhu Changhao was like a god of death coming out of hell at that time. Crossbows, grenades, incendiary. When the bannermen of Jiannu turned into roasted whole people, the Yakexi war knife was like a bolt of lightning, directly making the great head fly in the air. When they said this, the whole body of those Korqin steppe warriors trembled.

Thinking of these, Wu Keshan felt that his father, the Zhaisang patriarch's management method over the years was really a bit old, and he should learn from King Rui and carry out reforms. But there are many captains in the clan, and some leaders are unwilling, so Wu Keshan can't reform anymore, otherwise he won't be able to be the patriarch in the future.

Zhu Changhao's tough reply, Wu Keshan stopped talking, and the living room fell into tranquility for a while......

Since there is no atmosphere of chatting, let's sleep and wash!

That night, Zhu Changhao, Hai Lanzhu, and Bu Mu Butai slept together on the hot brick kang, feeling the fiery body between the two women, as well as tenderness, Zhu Changhao fiercely satisfied his brotherly desires.

During this period, Hai Lanzhu also enlightened Zhu Changhao, "Lord, Brother didn't mean to say this, besides, if our Horqin crosses the territory of Chahar and goes to the territory of Tumut to attack Guyuan Town, it basically means death and surrender." Our relationship between Korqin and Chahar and Tumut is not very good. Although they are all a branch of Monan Mongolia, they all want to merge each other. If the warriors of Korqin go to the territory of other tribes, they will use sheep to attack the wolves, and finally they will die and die. ”

When Zhu Changhao heard Hai Lanzhu say this, he still secretly praised such a reasonable and sensible woman in his heart. Bumu Butai is also persuading Zhu Changhao, saying that Brother Ah is a person with no heart.

The night's time was over, and the next morning, Wu Keshan acted as if nothing had happened, and he still talked and laughed with Zhu Changhao, and the housekeeper of the General Military Mansion got up to entertain Zhu Changhao and others, Wang Chonggu had not come back at this time, and it was said that he drank some wine last night and ate some spring. Medicine, shrugged on the body of the Oiran of Qunfanglou. After moving for half the night, this will still be there and sleeping.

The housekeeper brought breakfast, Zhu Changhao frowned and said to the housekeeper, "You go and call Wang Chonggu, if he is still sleeping, then you tell him, this king will let him sleep for the rest of his life." ”

After speaking, he ignored the housekeeper's surprised expression, and ate breakfast by himself, pure mutton steamed buns, shredded radish side dishes, very refreshing.

After breakfast, when he washed his hands with clean water, Wang Chonggu, who looked panicked, came, "Lord, Weichen is late, please forgive me." As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, and the sweat on his head dripped down uncontrollably.

Zhu Changhao looked at the scene, this guy must have spent a lot of energy on the woman's belly, how weak his body is now, you can see how many steps he walks, he is sweating profusely.

Let Wang Chonggu kneel for a while, Zhu Changhao stepped forward directly, "Mr. Wang, you better get up, don't spoil your body like that in the future." ”

After speaking, he asked Sun Chuanting to rectify the soldiers and set off.

Zhu Changhao didn't say anything, nor did he give any silver and money to the Guyuan General Military Mansion, and left directly.

The next stop is Yulin Town, also called Yansui Town, on this way, Zhu Changhao's words are also less, and it took less than five days to arrive at Yulin Town.

In Yulin Town, Zhu Changhao found that the quality of the border army here is okay, not to mention the first, but it is much better than Guyuan Town, at least the border soldiers in Yulin Town still dare to fight, and they are brave to fight. But the conditions here are much worse than those of Guyuan Town, after all, there is a desert in front, and in addition to dealing with the autumn wind from Ordos in front of the Tumut Department in a year, you can't even see the shadow of a caravan, and behind Yulin is Yan'an Mansion, which is originally a high slope of loess with drought and little rain, and it is really difficult to supply Yulin Town!

Zhu Changhao took a look around Yulin Town, and admired Cao Wenzhao, the deputy chief soldier of Yulin Town, and directly asked Ma Zhenkai, the chief soldier of Yulin Town, to report on his work in Beijing in the name of the Northern Economic Envoy. The general soldier of Yulin Town has become Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao became the chief soldier of Yulin Town, and Zhu Changhao allocated him 200,000 silver dollars, 50,000 catties of rice, and two regiments of ordnance on the spot, so that he could vigorously develop and expand Yulin Town, and give him a quota of 40,000 people for the Yulin border army.

This directly made Cao Wenzhao overjoyed, and rewarded the three armies that night.

Early the next morning, Zhu Changhao gathered the local royal merchants, as well as the Yulin Mansion Post Station, the Royal Bank, and Cao Wenzhao, and talked about the land reform and Yulin coal mining.

According to Zhu Changhao's meaning, in the future, the people caught in Yulin Mansion who beat the autumn wind were directly detained in the coal mine cave for labor reform, and the coal dug up could be sold to local workshops and used as fuel for steam engines.

After the general military office, the post station, the business name, and the bank privately decided on this business, Zhu Changhao was very happy that night.

On this night, Zhu Changhao and his eldest brother, Cao Wenzhao drank together, and the moonlight was bright and bright that night, on the covered bridge on the second floor of the General Soldier's Mansion, on the plump cherry lips of Bumu Butai, a green bamboo cave flute sounded melodiously.

The sound of the flute was melodious and clear, and Zhu Changhao, who was already drunk, looked at Bu Mu Butai who was playing the flute on the second floor at the end of the wine field, and said with high interest, "On the moonlit night of the twenty-fourth bridge, where can the jade teach the?" ”
