"This first plan is indeed as Liu Jian said, it is to prepare to borrow a knife to kill people and use Ma Sheng to kill Ye Guan." Sun Qinlin nodded and said.

"This second plan is to leak the news to the Tatars when Na Qincha and Ma Sheng go out of the city together. The fire sieve among the Tatars is the hero of the day, and he will definitely not let go of this good opportunity. If Ye Guan can escape with his life in the hands of Ma Sheng, he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the fire screen. And it is very likely that the fire sieve will cuddle the grass and beat the rabbit, and clean up the horse that went out of the city. Sun Qinlin said with a smile.

"This is the third plan. Once Ye Guan's Qin Cha died, and Ma Sheng also died, without those high-ranking officials, then there would be chaos in Datong City. Datong is in chaos, and the acting king stationed in Datong will definitely come out to preside over the situation. But the acting king does not participate in the military all the year round, there can stabilize the situation of Datong, I will take advantage of the acting king when there is no good general in the hands of the king to push you out, the city wall of Datong is towering, the city is strong, you have been in the army for so long, and you have made some friends, there should be no big problem in keeping Datong Mansion. As long as you don't let Datong fall to the Tatars, that's a great achievement. As long as you keep the Datong Mansion, find some Tatar herdsmen as Tatar troops and report them to the imperial court in exchange for war exploits, plus the appreciation and protection of the king, Liu Jian will definitely be able to become a high-ranking official in the Datong military and government. When you have achieved the top few positions in the Datong Metropolitan Division, and then bring more brothers in our sect, it will be much easier for us to develop believers in Datong and even in the entire Shanxi Province in the future. Sun Qinlin said so much in detail, Liu Jian on the side quickly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, Sun Qinlin took a sip of hot water, glanced at Liu Jian appreciatively and continued.

"This is the fourth plan. When you, Chen Hao, Hu Xiong, Guo Scarzi and others all sit in the key positions in Datong, when we have an incident in Wuliantang in the future, won't we be able to pull up a war-hardened army in an instant? With an army, then the throne ...... No, isn't it the ideal of the Datong world? At that time, we will be the eastern, southern, western, northern, middle, and prince of the new dynasty, on an equal footing, a few points of the world! The glory of the ancestors is in the present dynasty! Sun Qinlin thought about it, and accidentally said his purpose.

"High, really high! With such a talented and agile person as the incense master, why should I worry about teaching big things? We are willing to be the precursor of the incense lord! When the people next to him heard Sun Qinlin's plan, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise again and again. Thinking of Sun Qinlin's painting of a big cake, everyone is enthusiastic, thinking that he can also be in charge of one party in the future, with a beautiful wife and concubine, a warehouse full of gold and silver, a thousand heads of thousands of people, and thousands of people worship, what kind of scenery is that?

"My subordinates will do it." When Liu Jian heard Sun Qinlin's plan, his heart was also hot. Promotion! No matter what the reality of the Datong world is unrealistic, at least Sun Qinlin said or helped him operate to become a high-ranking official in the military and political affairs of Datong, which is a real official position, a real oil and water!

It is said that thousands of miles of officials are only for money, but in fact, one law is universal, and all laws are universal. Except for a very small number of people and those poor people at the bottom who are struggling for the so-called Datong world, Sun Qinlin, Yang Tong, Liu Jian and others are not for the ambition in their hearts. Drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, waking up to take power in the world is their goal.

Pin your head to your belt and risk killing your head for the equality of others? At least that's not what Sun Qinlin and most of the middle and high-ranking people in the White Lotus Sect think. Otherwise, the White Lotus Sect would not have been divided, and more than a thousand sects, large and small, would have gone their own way and would not be restricted.

Isn't it as ridiculous as a wolf telling the sheep that I helped you open the sheepfold to give you freedom?

Just when Sun Qinlin was discussing his own affairs, Ye Guan had already finished the banquet for the Datong officials and met with a secret agent stationed here in his wing.

Datong is a military powerhouse, so there are more than ten Jinyiwei here to investigate. Among them, several people disguised their identities in Datong City with various occupations, one to investigate the local black and white, and the other to get some oil and water for themselves by the way. Otherwise, relying only on the ideas and monthly examples sent by the Jinyi Wei Yamen, these spies who often need to spend money would have starved to death.

There were more than a dozen Jinyi guards whose tasks were a little more difficult, and they were sent to the large and small towns or garrison fortresses outside Datong City to investigate the situation of the local garrison and the actions of the Tatars outside the city. It is said that Jinyiwei is the emperor's eagle dog, but if it weren't for an institution like Jinyiwei, many emperors in the Ming Dynasty would really be like pigs raised by ministers, and they could play as they wanted. This is also one of the reasons why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty knew that the factory guards were a disaster, but the dynasty was still unwilling to abolish the factory guards.

"He Guozhu, a hundred households in the west of the Jinyi Weishan Thousand, has seen Lord Tongzhi." A man dressed as an outsider greets Ye Guan.

"There are hundreds of households. How many years has He Baihu been in Datong Mansion? If it weren't for He Guozhu's self-declaration of identity, Ye Guan really couldn't see that this chubby person who looked like a rich man was actually a hundred households of Jinyi Wei who made people smell and change.

"If you go back to your lordship, the ancestor of the humble position is a native of Jiangxi, and he has been here since the time of Emperor Chengzu, and it has been five generations since he passed on to the humble position." The hundred households arched their hands and said.

"There are hundreds of households." Ye Guan stood up here, and he also had a little more respect for a family like He Guozhu. The ancients paid attention to the return of fallen leaves to their roots, and would rather have a handful of soil in their hometown than love ten thousand taels of gold in another country. This is also the reason why many officials, no matter where they are officials or how many years they have been officials, will eventually return to their hometowns when they are old. This He Guozhu's family has been stationed in this Datong Mansion for more than 100 years since the Yongle period, and it is indeed not easy.

"Your Excellency praised it. The humble ancestors also read a few years of books, and the most admired in his life was the Prime Minister of the Later Song Dynasty, who was also from Jiangxi, so he once left a sentence to my family, "Who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of the sweat and youth", requiring future generations to abide by it. Therefore, I and other descendants all take this as the words of governing the family. Although He Guozhu is dressed as a businessman, when he talks about Wen Tianxiang, who is also from Jiangxi, there is a look of pride on his face, and it is obvious that he has a great face for Wen Tianxiang in Jiangxi.

Ye Guan was also in awe when he heard this, the reason why China's history is continuous depends on these obscure people stationed on the frontier and those who keep the mission in mind, how can such people not be respected?

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, feeling a little familiar, and then Ye Guan asked about the situation in Datong Mansion.

"He Baihu, this official was sent by His Majesty to investigate the case of Liu Shiqing. What do you think of the case of Datong deputy chief soldier Ma Wensheng and staff general Qin Gong conspiring to kill Liu Shiqing? Ye Guan did not directly ask He Guozhu to investigate this case, but first asked He Guozhu what he thought of this case.

After all, although He Guozhu said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, his family had been in this Datong Mansion for more than 100 years, and they were also the old men of Jinyiwei. But this He Guozhu can be the shopkeeper of an inn in Datong Mansion, who knows if He Guozhu has any problems with these local garrisons and government offices in Datong. If you can't figure out the situation indiscriminately and let He Guozhu lead the way, maybe you will be cheated by someone. It's better to wait for the people I brought from the capital to Datong to find out, and then make the next move.

"Tongzhi-sama. The character of the deputy general soldier and horse promotion, you can go to Datong and ask someone to get the result. This Ma Sheng was transferred from Xuanfu three years ago, when he first came, he was just a garrison, but in just three years, he became the deputy commander of the third grade from the garrison of the fifth grade, and the Datong Mansion was attacked by the Tartars every year, and the people were killed and plundered a lot, but the garrison of Datong almost reported to the court every year that they had snatched back a lot of captive people, killed and injured a lot of Tartars, and used the heads of those good people to make the official rank of the people who followed him a vigorous rise, my lord, what kind of good person do you say this Ma Sheng can be? He Guozhu talked about Ma Sheng, with a sneering face, obviously looking down on Ma Sheng.

"Is it true that Ma Sheng killed Liang and risked his merits?" Ye Guan asked with a frown when he heard He Guozhu say this.

"My lord, it's not true. He came as little but a small guard. However, every time he fought with those Tartars, he was able to bring back a lot of Tartar heads. Of course, the official is getting bigger and bigger. Your Excellency, you should also know that it is almost normal for our Ming army to kill good people and take risks. Otherwise, the military exploits reported to the imperial court over the years add up to more than the Tartar population here in Datong Mansion. Did those heads fall from the sky? However, other officials also took those horse thieves and bandits, killed those Mongols who came to the market, and reported to the court that they were Tartars in exchange for military merit. That Ma Sheng, that old man, actually used the head of the slave who escaped from the grassland of our Ming Dynasty to report to the imperial court that it was a Tartar in exchange for military merit. Do you think this Ma Sheng is like a little maid? Speaking of this, He Guozhu couldn't help but take a sip, and then opened his mouth to scold Ma Sheng.

"Fugitives? What is a fugitive slave? Ye Guan heard this statement for the first time, so he was also confused.

"Fugitive slaves are the Ming people who were plundered by those Tartars, and our Ming people are slaves in the Tartars, so they have to run back when they find an opportunity. Some of those people have been in the Tartars for many years, and finally fled back to their hometowns, and met our Ming army, but they were all cut off by our army as Tartars. "He Guozhu has been in Datong for many years, and he has seen many fugitive slaves cut off their heads by those guards under the pretext that they are Tartars and sent to them for reward. The person he admired most in his life was Wen Tianxiang, but when he saw that the army of the Ming Dynasty was like this, he was not disappointed.
