Three days later, Zhang Ru led the Jinyi guard to leave, and the new prefect and acting chief soldier Yang Rong went out of the city to see him off.

Before leaving, Zhang Ru entrusted Ma Xuan to Yang Rong and hoped that he would take care of him. Yang Rong expressed his welcome and appointed Ma Xuan as the captain of his personal guard on the spot.

Yang Rong is a smart man, he knows that since Zhang Ru has interfered in the military affairs of Datong, he will definitely not let himself be at ease in the position of the general soldier so easily. Leaving Ma Xuan is to leave an eye by his side. Fortunately, at this time, he had no other thoughts, so he expressed his understanding of Zhang Ru's thoughts and practices.

At least, in Yang Rong's view, as the prince's milk brother, the future must be limitless. Follow Zhang Ru, not to mention how high he can be afraid to climb, at least, he will not fall very badly.

Set off, this time the speed of travel is much faster, and the road is no longer stop-and-go, but fast.

Liaodong is also a relatively **** place, although it is not like Datong, where the little Tatar prince Batu Munk comes to plunder from time to time, but since the Battle of Chenghua, the Jurchens there have jumped very hard. And in that place, you also need to guard against the powerful Duoyan Sanwei.

Duoyan Sanwei is Duoyan, Taining, Fuyu three guards, once helped Emperor Chengzu to seize the Ming Dynasty, but later Emperor Chengzu in order to envelop these Mongolian tribes under the command of the elite cavalry, Daningwei (now Chengde City, Pingquan County, Jianchang County) are divided into the habitat of Duoyan Sanwei.

Of course, this is not contrary to the original policy of the Ming Dynasty not to cede land, not to pay compensation, and not to make peace, because Duoyan Sanwei is a meritorious man, and these places are just a reward for Zhu Di.

However, Zhu Di's reward was not fulfilled, and only allowed the mutual market, but did not let Duoyan Sanwei really settle in the area where Daningwei was located.

This annoyed the fierce Mongol cavalry, who united with the Tatars and launched an attack on the Ming frontier, and it was quite effective.

Eventually, Daning was occupied.

The imperial court was helpless in this regard, after all, it was promised by Chengzu himself, and in the end, it ended in failure after the conquest, so he had no choice but to give up.

The people of Liaodong Mansion were put there to guard Duoyan Sanwei and Jianzhou Jurchen.

Of course, to a certain extent, it also guarded against the attack of the Tatars.

From Datong, he specially bypassed Shuntianfu, did not make any pauses all the way, went out of Shanhaiguan, and went straight to Liaodong.

Zhang Ru also had his own considerations, and he didn't go through Shuntianfu because he didn't want to be infamous for returning to Beijing without authorization. The so-called nine-sided patrol general, who has only now gone to a Datong Mansion, does not dare to say that he knows the frontier of the Ming Dynasty well.

When passing by the Daning Guard controlled by Duoyan Sanwei, there are always people from Duoyan Sanwei who look at them sideways.

Now I get along well with Duoyan Sanwei, after all, Duoyan Sanwei is now in the location of Daningwei, and it will be easy if Daming wants to clean them up.

Along the way, after arriving in Quang Ninh, he went directly to the General Military Mansion.

Liaodong General Soldier Gu Qian, who was originally a person from the right guard of Datong, has been serving in Liaodong for more than ten years, and is considered a veteran general.

Because Zhang Ru came without telling him, he was not prepared at all, and when his own soldiers informed him that someone was known as the general of the Nine Sides Patrol and asked to see him, he walked out of the inner room with his shoes on his shoes to meet the guests.

This kind of style, if it is among the literati, it is absolutely unacceptable, and the guests will think that you do not take him seriously.

But in the eyes of a military general like Gu Qian, this is not a big deal.

When Zhang Ru accompanied the prince to study, he was half a literati, and at the same time he was a martial artist, so he didn't care about so many etiquette.

However, his opening remarks were a little jaw-dropping: "Lord Wu, are you guilty?" ”

Wu Qian had never been in Shuntian Mansion, and he really didn't know some of the ways of officialdom, and he himself was a military general, so he naturally didn't understand what Zhang Ru meant, and thought that his poor greeting made the superior chagra angry, and said with a smile: "The lower official is guilty, and he doesn't know that the minister is coming, and he is disappointed." ”

Zhang Ru's face was cold: "Is it a crime of missing the distance?" ”

He paused for a moment and asked, "Is there any other culpability?" ”

Zhang Ru sneered: "This official traveled all the way, only to see that Liaodong was starving all over the wilderness, and there were countless hungry people, but you, the general soldier of Liaodong, were indifferent, what is going on?" ”

Gu Qian smiled and said: "You are looking for the wrong person in this matter, this official is the chief soldier of Liaodong Mansion, you have to ask Dong Quan Dong Boss of the Political Envoy Department to declare this matter." ”

Zhang Ru said: "This official is the general of the Nine Sides Patrol, but not the General of the Nine Mansions, this official can only manage you, the head of the general soldier, but he can't control him Dong Quan." Besides, the reason for the displacement of the people, don't you know that Jianyu is rampant and domineering, is it possible that the people in Liaodong are all eating dry food? ”

Gu Qian also lost his temper, this five-short Liaodong general soldier can be in a high position, but he relied on his own knife and gun to fight on the battlefield. He was able to endure Zhang Ru, a milky and undried errand, pointing fingers at himself, just because he didn't want to lose the hard-won hat on his head. At the same time, he has so many brothers, and he doesn't want anyone to give his brothers shoes to wear after he leaves.

But his good temper does not mean that he has no temper, after Zhang Ru provoked him several times, he said angrily: "Since you know that you are the general of the Nine Sides Patrol, you should know what you should do and what you should not do." If you are responsible for announcing the matter of the Department of Political History, you should ask Dong Quan. How about Jianyu, that's not something I can say, as long as the court orders it, this official can immediately take the tens of thousands of sons under his command to smash Huanglong. ”

In this tense atmosphere, the personnel on both sides looked very nervous.

Jin Yiwei was worried, every time the adult did something, it was a little unexpected, and every time it seemed to be provoking the anger of others. Don't adults know that this is not Datong? Don't you know that there must be something extraordinary about a person who can stay in the general army for so long?

As for the personal soldiers under the command of Gu Qian, there is anger in their hearts.

They felt that Zhang Ru was too ignorant of what to do, and he wanted to give his general a dismount as soon as he came. Could it be that this stunned young man has treated tens of thousands of children in Liaodong as paper paste?

When everyone had their own ideas, Zhang Ru suddenly laughed: "The kid has made amends to the chief soldier!" ”

Gu Qian's anger did not subside, and he said angrily: "Shangcha is really polite, but I don't know why Shangcha said this." ”

Zhang Ru said lightly: "General, Zhang Ru is not here to trouble the general, but to find an alliance." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at him and motioned for him to send his men away. Ke Qian didn't see it, and said coldly: "The people here are all brothers who have followed me for more than ten years, and the adults say that there is no need to hide it." ”

Zhang Ru hesitated for a while before saying: "Okay, Ming people don't say secret words, Zhang didn't see hunger all over the way along the way, what I said before was just to test the attitude of Lord Wu." ”

"What's the point?" Gou Qian asked concisely.

Zhang Ru said: "My lord has lived in Liaodong for a long time, and he must not be very aware of the changes in the situation in the imperial court. Zhang Ru has just come out of Shuntian Mansion for only a few months, and he has done a lot of things in Datong in the past few months. The reason why the second stop was chosen in Liaodong instead of Xuanfu, which is the closest to Datong, was because Zhang felt that the soldiers of Liaodong were stronger than the soldiers of Xuanfu. ”

Wu Qian said: "What do you want to do with strong soldiers." ”

Zhang Ru said: "If you want to strengthen the army, you naturally have something to do. If a soldier has not seen blood, he is not called a soldier, he has not cut off a few heads, and he is just a coveted material under the enemy's knife when he goes to the battlefield. Your Majesty's health is no longer good, and I have to prepare more. ”

Gu Qian stood up suddenly: "If you want the old man to rebel, you can't do it!" ”

Zhang Ru waved his hand and said, "Sit down, how could Zhang do such a rebellious thing." I'm just bothering adults just in case. The crown prince succeeded to the throne, everything was fine, if the prince could not succeed to the throne, Zhang Ru implored the lord to send troops to serve the king. ”

King Qin's such a thing is not something that can be said casually, and he went to the General Military Mansion of Liaodong Town to tell the General Soldier about the future so blatantly, Zhang Ru is not bold.

In fact, before he came, the Jinyi Wei Daning Qianhu Office had already sent information to him, and the intelligence showed that Gui Qian was an old and serious general, and in the battle against Jianyu for so many years, he had always won more than defeated. And among the general soldiers of the nine-sided town, it is Gu Qian who is the most loyal.

As for whether the object of his loyalty is His Majesty Zhu Jianshen or the Zhu dynasty, Zhang Ru does not know. So as soon as he came, he held Yu Qian accountable, just to try what kind of person Gu Qian was.

After some temptation, he found that he was not a person without ambition, because his first reaction in the face of accountability was not to beg for mercy, but to choose to fight.

Such a person makes good use of it, it is a big helper, and if he doesn't use it well, it is a tiger that has been dormant.

"Are you so sure the old man will help you?" Gu Qian clenched his fists lightly, and his voice was much quieter.

Zhang Ru said: "Naturally, the general can only be trusted to invite the general, otherwise Zhang would not dig a pit for himself." ”

Gu Qian asked again: "Aren't you afraid that Ben will arrest you and send you to Shuntianfu?" ”

Zhang Ru laughed, and after a while, he stopped laughing and said loudly: "If I was afraid, I wouldn't have taken this errand, since I'm here, I'll do something for the prince." Da Ming can't stand too much tossing, I have no intention of tossing Da Ming, if someone wants to toss, I will naturally give them some color to see. ”

Gu Qian said disdainfully: "It's up to you? ”

Zhang Ru said: "No, of course I can't do anything alone, in addition to me, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Datong, and of course, tens of thousands of soldiers under the general." ”

Gu Qian suddenly said to his subordinates: "Please go down and rest first." ”

Although this question did not come very suddenly, he still decided to think about it, this kind of decision, once it fails, it will be the end of his bones, and he does not dare to make a decision easily.
