Chapter 725 Arrangement

At the beginning of October of the 11th year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli issued an order to order Jinyiwei to command Tongzhi Wang Tong to supervise the general Datong to exterminate horse thieves and prevent Tartars. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Almost in the second half of September, the cavalry of the Tartars began to move frequently on the side wall of Datong, and in early October, the Beijing division issued an order, which was a rare high efficiency for the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, the governor of Xuanda was responsible for the two border towns of Xuanfu and Datong, and Wang Tong was the exclusive leader of Datong, the governor of Datong, the prefect of Datong, the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, and Datong Town.

After the eunuch who came from Beijing read the will, he also handed over the Wang Ming banner that originally belonged to the general army of Datong to Wang Tong, that is, Wang Tong could mobilize the soldiers and horses of Datong Town.

The edict was received in Taiyuan Mansion, and the eunuch was to rest for two days as usual, and it is said that when the eunuch lived in the post station, Xu Wen, the supervisor of Datong Town, sent a confidant to greet him.

It is necessary to give a generous gift, the prison army already has the meaning of the emperor of the border town, and now there is a Wang Tong on his head, how can he ask to understand the roots.

"Zhang Cheng and Zhang's father-in-law often talk about it, Zou Yi and Zou Gonggong's side, it is said that he and Lord Wang are righteous brothers"

The eunuch who announced the decree was also a very measured person, and he didn't say anything above, and others didn't know, but the day later, Xu Wen hurriedly sent someone to greet him and asked Wang Tong when he would come to Datong, humble and polite.

Shanxi was confused up and down, this Qin messenger arrived obviously because of Cha Zonglu's arrears, and suddenly became the supervisor of the horse thief clearance, and suddenly became the supervisor of the general Datong, preparing for war.

However, it is good for this young adult who does not do things according to the routine to go to Datong, although Cha Zonglu's various actions have nothing to do with everyone, but they make people feel confused, and they always have no bottom in their hearts.

The governor of Shanxi, the political envoy of Shanxi, and a cadre of officials had to go to Wang Tong to see him off, say some words of encouragement, and agree on some military and civilian government affairs.

The whole Jin land is busy, if someone calculates, they will feel that there are some illogical things, for example, the will of the palace is inevitably too timely, even if the road is smooth and abnormal, it is difficult to send the messenger of the urgent document to the Beijing Division, and the Beijing Division will not make the decree.

Calculated carefully, it is not good that this side has just entered the city gate, and the eunuch who passed the decree has come out of the city gate, and the eunuch who passed the decree is pale, extremely tired, and he has not rested much along the way, it seems that he is riding a horse in a hurry, this is not very in order, Datong is just in an emergency, but it has not reached the time when it is really urgent, why is the decree so hurried.

But who will pay attention to such details, it will be a day or two, and it will be difficult to question the Son of Heaven and let him take back his will.

The mansion of the general army of Datong has been cleared out, and Wang Tong has lived in it without permission, since he is the governor of Datong, then the governor of Xuanda, Weng Wenda, is also happy to be idle, and he can't come to his station.

The rest of the people, Mei Wenjin, the governor of Datong, Xu Wen, the supervisor of Datong Town, and Ma Dong, the deputy general of Datong Town, naturally want to discuss together, except for Mei Wenjin, Xu Wen and Ma Dong, one is a eunuch, the other is a military general, but they are all clear about Wang Tong's weight, and the two of them are like this, and Mei Wenjin can only follow the crowd.

"Master Ma is right, now with the strength of Datong Town, it is not enough to resist the large number of Tartars in the Ministry of Response, this official should be the imperial court, please send reinforcements to come."

The first meeting, Wang Tong said this, originally worried that Wang Tong was young and vigorous, Xu Wen and Mei Wenjin, who were reckless in doing things, were relieved, Wang Tong's opinion was the same as Ma Dong's, but it was the idea of keeping everything right, and everyone formed a consensus, and immediately signed a joint name, and sent six hundred miles to Beijing to rush to Beijing for advice.

In the mansion of the general army of Datong, except for Wang Tong's personal guards, all the maids and maids sent by other officials and wealthy businessmen were cleared out, and only the guards listened to the orders, and their safety could be assured.

Wang Tong was in the study, Tan Jiang was standing by the door, and one by one the people called in, and the guards below knew a little about Wang Tong's plan, and knew that this was the main order to the Quartet, but they didn't expect that the first person who was called over was Qi Wu.

The personal guard Qi Wu entered the study, Tan Jiang closed the door, Wang Tong has not stopped working hard for dozens of days, even if he is healthy, he seems a little tired, seeing Qi Wu come in, Wang Tong rubbed the corners of his forehead, and said with a smile:

"Others can't see it, you think about it all day, and you can probably see one or two"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Wu already knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times and said:

"The subordinates are willing to go to the soup for the adults and break their bones"

Wang Tong waved his hand and said:

"There is no need to say such things, this official has a letter to the chief soldier of Jizhen Li Yunlai, you set off today, and it will be delivered urgently, giving you six people and thirty horses."

"Subordinates receive orders"

Qi Wu took the letterhead, got up and was about to go out, Wang Tong smiled and sighed, and said:

"In such a situation as Datong Town, there must be strong reinforcements to be safe, this situation is really"

Of course Qi Wu could hear this, his body shook, and he hurriedly went out, as soon as he walked here, the second person who came in was Chen Dahe, Wang Tong and Chen Dahe spoke very simply:

"The general order to go to Tianjin Wei Chuan this official, according to the pre-arrangement, immediately start preparations, and as soon as the will of the Beijing master arrives, immediately set off to prepare."

Chen Dahe took the order and hurriedly went out, Tan Dahu and Tan Erhu were both with him, and they were also more than one person, the sooner the better.

After instructing these two messengers, Wang Tong slowly wrote a recital by himself, sealed it in an iron box, and asked Bao Erxiao to lead people to Beijing to play.

After these three arrangements were completed, Wang Tong finally stopped, didn't speak, went out and grabbed a pole to practice, and felt that his muscles and bones were sent down, so he stopped, and at this time he already saw sweat on his forehead.

Since it is the mansion of the general soldier, there must always be a school field in the courtyard, everything is convenient, after Wang Tong finished practicing, Tan Jiang was already waiting with a handkerchief.

Wang Tong wiped the sweat on his forehead, but noticed that Tan Jiang was wearing a leather robe, although the weather was getting colder, but Wang Tong and the guards below were all single shirts, Tan Jiang was dressed like this, indicating that his body was already a little weak, looking at Tan Jiang's temples were also white, Wang Tong also sighed in his heart.

General Tan has been following Wang Tong for five years, and now he is also in his early fifties, unlike Wenchen, who is pampered and pampered, and fifty years old is the golden age, many generals are mentally fine at this time, but their bodies can't keep up, because many old injuries have begun to have an impact.

Wang Tong wiped his sweat and didn't open his mouth, but Tan Jiang said:

"Master, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Jizhen, and there are only more than 50,000 people who can fight.

"Don't worry, the soldiers and horses transferred here by Jizhen must be their strongest."

I didn't expect Wang Tong to answer so affirmatively, Tan Jiang couldn't help but be stunned, Wang Tong is not a person who speaks falsely, he said this, it will definitely be realized, Tan Jiang groaned, and asked again:

"Master, how many soldiers and horses will come over from Jizhen?"

"It's a long way to come to Datong from Jizhen, and the amount of military grain is also a large amount, and all parties must also do what they can, at most 20,000, but at least not less than 15,000."

Tan Jiang was obviously relieved, followed Wang Tong and walked towards the house, and when he entered the main house, a personal guard hurriedly ran over and reported that several shopkeepers of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank in Shanxi had arrived, and Wang Tong ordered people to come in, and Tan Jiang went to arrange the reception.

Since Qi Jiguang arranged for Qi Wu to be by his side, and bet that he would take the initiative to use troops against my answering department, he would definitely not just let his illegitimate son come over and cry a few words, and say some righteous and awe-inspiring words to finish the matter.

There are only a few powerful soldiers and horses in the world, among the border towns, one is Jizhen, the other is Liaozhen, Liaozhen is Li Chengliang's territory There is nothing to say, but Jizhen soldiers and horses, Qi Jiguang has been training for more than ten years, and these elite soldiers and horses are prepared for the use of soldiers against the Tartars.

The elite soldiers who have been trained for so many years have a deep relationship with Qi Jiguang, even if Qi Jiguang is not in the position of the chief soldier of Jizhen, it is not that he will not be moved, if Qi Wu says that Wang Tong is moved, Qi Wu should have the means to contact the generals from all over Jizhen, so that they can come and do their best to help.

Wang Tong didn't know whether Qi Jiguang had such an arrangement, but Wang Tong felt that since such a far-sighted famous general sent Qi Wu to his side, there must be arrangements in Jizhen, and the imperial court ordered the transfer of troops, and the general army Li Yunlai would definitely cooperate, plus Qi Wu's central contact, naturally there would be no surprises.

But it's not completely certain, Wang Tong also has other filings here, just thinking about it, a few shopkeepers outside have come in, and the shopkeepers who are doing things here in Shanxi, there are a few of them are the first batch of secret agents selected by Zhang Shiqiang that year, and it is not good to be spies, but they are talented in business, and they are their own people, after Jinhe and Yongsheng were annexed by Sanjiang Commercial Bank, they were sent here.

When he entered the house, he had to kowtow to the etiquette of the Lord's house and greet him, and Wang Tong accepted it safely, although such a etiquette was cumbersome, but it could let people know where their duty was.

After taking a seat, there was no politeness, and a shopkeeper reported:

"Tianchengwei Baiyangkou over there Zhuangzi is about to be full, but there are still goods sent outside, although our people watch closely, but we are also afraid that the soldiers over there in Baiyangkou will leak the news, this time I came to see the master, just to ask if I can transport the goods here to Xuanfu, and the cash sold will be discounted to General Ma, so that it is convenient for everyone."

"Wait, there won't be too many goods coming over in the future."

"Master, the inventory of large merchants in Shanxi is almost clear, please take a look at this list."
