Old White Cow: Still in Xiamen, alas, mourning for the brothers and sisters killed and injured in the bus bombing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

……

"Zhangjiakou is under the jurisdiction of the general of the Wanquan Right Guard on the West Road of Xuanfu, and it is subordinate to the six garrisons of Wanquan Right Acropolis, Left Acropolis, Zhangjiakou Fort, Xinkoubao, Xinhekou Fort, and Dining Fort."

Pointing to the map, Yang Guozhu explained to Wang Dou: "The general of this road is set up in Chenghua for ten years, and there are about 8,700 officers and troops under the jurisdiction of the road, and more than 2,000 internal reinforcements. ”

"Brother Lai Tianmin, the general of the Dushi Horse Battalion on Xuanfu North Road, belongs to the Eight Garrisons of Dushi City, Maying Fort, Longmen Acropolis, Red Castle, Longmen City, Dishui Cliff Fort, Ma'anling City, and Yunchuan Fort, with more than 7,600 officers and troops on the road, more than 1,900 internal reinforcements, and all the commanders and officials of the Wanquan Division."

"Lai's family, the official position of the military general of the guard for generations is hereditary, and the local power is deep-rooted, and the subordinate forts, many officials and generals are their henchmen or clansmen, just like Gao Jinzhong, the garrison of Zhangjiakou Fort, married Lai Tianlu's ninth sister."

"Over the past hundred years, the Lai family has generally married with the surrounding officials, for example, Lai Tianlu's eldest sister married Li Jiancao, a general of the Xuanfu Sect Guarding the West Road. And Lai Tianmin married the eighth sister of Yang Tianfu, the general of the middle road of the Xuanfu Branch. ”

"Looking at the roads north of Xuanfu Town, from Longmensuo, Monolith Fort, all the way to Baiyang Fort, Zhangjiakou, Dining Fort, and finally to Shahe Fort, Ximalin Fort, Chaigou Fort, and the castles near the border fortress, there are more than a dozen.

Yang Guozhu finally sighed: "At present, it seems that the profiteers are transporting goods privately, and it is impossible to succeed without the permission and support of these border generals." After all, even Zhangjiakou Fort is counted, which border fort is not heavy with troops? A powerful official in the town. is the king of the valley, and there is no industry in the local area, and many border soldiers also make a living from it. If you ban Zhangjiakou, there will definitely be a fight, not only Lai Tianlu and other soldiers and horses. Even the local military and civilians may also be instigated. ”

"These land snakes, even my brother has to retreat!"

Yang Guozhu's tone was helpless, as the chief soldier, his responsibility was to train military horses, repair the city, and supervise the piers. Defend against thieves, compensate soldiers, protect residents, and speak of majesty, but you can only manage your own barracks in peacetime. Oh, and now there are a couple of new barracks.

The following ranger battalions, reinforcement battalions, and odd battalions, according to the principle of the Ming Dynasty's large and small systems, except for the wartime moderation, he can't manage it, after all, food, salary, personnel, and anything are not in his hands, although Lai Tianlu and others are only generals, in fact, their lives are more nourishing than his general soldiers.

And these local generals, what to guard, for generations, are also controlled by those who are from the families of guards and military generals, and it is difficult for outsiders to touch them, and it is not an exaggeration to call them the emperor of the soil in the local area.

Wang Dou nodded silently, he had already seen that when he saw the information, he knew that it was impossible to succeed in banning Zhangjiakou without bloodshed, and how could the local tyrant army and generals watch their financial resources suffer? If you lose someone's money, such as killing your parents, they will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry.

Even many ordinary military households and border soldiers also rely on this for a living, and they will also jump out and fight hard, because when smuggling, many of them not only participate in cover, collect tolls, but also act as caravanserais, and even carry goods, to obtain some benefits.

For example, Zhangjiakou, because of the early exchange of markets with Mongolia and other places, in addition to the civil affairs departments such as household deployment, council office, and tax office, the fort also set up a dart department, which is to escort the caravan with the officers and soldiers, and when the border is forbidden to trade, the officers and soldiers of these dart offices openly participate in the smuggling escort, and many people, even with the caravan of the Jin merchants, go to the territory of the Qing Dynasty together.

The warriors, merchants, heroes, literati, and petty officials in these places are intertwined, and they are all in the same spirit, desperately sucking blood, and in order to protect their own interests, they do everything possible to expand their power.

At the beginning, when he was only a general on the East Road, the Lai family and others came to test it, hoping to get married, and even more so after he became the chief soldier of the regimental training. It is Xiong Tingrui, the general of Ren Shun Shengwei Guang on Xuanfu Zhennan Road, who is a little shy, and he is not married to a daughter of Lai Tianlu?

Zhang Guowei can be called a local tyrant on East Road, but compared with the Lai family, he is a small thing.

These officials and generals in the north of Xuanfu Town are even more lawless and powerful, but in this case, this is the case everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, if the coastal land is fornicated with pirates, participating in maritime trade, and the scale of profits is even more terrifying, and the Zheng family is the representative.

Daming is full of wealth, but this kind of wealth, has nothing to do with the country, has been swallowed by moths, in this kind of world, it's okay to be in the same stream, if you want to make a difference, every step of the way, how difficult is it?

"Guoqin, you still have to deal with profiteers and ban Zhangjiakou land?"

Seeing that Wang Dou was silent, he nodded again, and Yang Guozhu sighed for the last time: "Brother, I...... It's not as good as you. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Dou and the generals of the Jingbian Army, as well as Wang Pu and Li Yunshu, gathered together to finalize the operation.

In front of the huge Xuanda map, Wang Dou arranged them one by one.

"Wen Fangliang, the general of the Qinglong Battalion of the Left Guard of the Jingbian Army, led the Jingbian Army of the Left Battalion to deal with the land of Zhangjiakou, and some artillery battalions of the Hongyi artillery with the army, if Lai Tianlu, Lai Tianmin, Gao Jinzhong, Li Jiancao, etc. intercepted and obstructed, they will be punished!"

Although the soldiers and horses of Lai Tianlu and other forts reached tens of thousands, Wang Dou believed that a battalion of soldiers and horses of the Jingbian Army was enough to defeat them all.

Not to mention, these officials will get the news, and then contact from all walks of life, assemble, etc., I don't know how much time it will take, some soldiers and horses, it is not said that they can be pulled out, and finally when they converge, the matter has already been settled.

And from Huailai and other places to Zhangjiakou, the distance is not more than 100 miles, the official road is relatively easy to walk, and it is still possible to carry artillery.

"Zhangjiakou needs to be fast, and the Intelligence Department is also arranging manpower in the fort, so you can open the door and respond in time!"

During the trip outside the Saiwai, Wen Fangliang and Gao Shiyin seized a lot of mules and horses, and these horses were not placed and distributed for the time being, so the soldiers of the left battalion were the second-class army, and everyone had horses. But everyone rides a horse, and there is no problem.

"Zhong Xiancai, the general of the White Tiger Battalion of the right guard of the Jingbian Army, led the first-class army in the battalion. With Wang Zheng and other Datong town brothers, they went to Datong and confiscated the shops and treasures of various profiteers inside and outside Datong City. The merchants of the Wang family, who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, as the ones who led the way......"

Originally, the matter of Datong Town, Wang Dou wanted to hand it over to Wang Pu to deal with it with full authority. However, Wang Pu insisted that the Jingbian Army accompany him, and Wang Dou made the above arrangements.

And when Wang Dou spoke, Wang Pu's face also collapsed tightly, and the pro-general Wang Zhengren and others suddenly gasped.

As soon as the facts were true, they broke with many officials and businessmen of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, the government and the opposition will be in an uproar, and public opinion will attack, needless to say, it is needless to say that there are guns and hidden arrows, but Wang Pu has also thought clearly, if not. The fact that they are enemies of the king is even more terrifying, and the two are neighboring towns.

The Wang family, the power in Datong Town is already large, after sweeping away the major businessmen in Datong, the family business power will be even bigger in the future, anyway, because of the proximity to Wang Dou, now it is also refrigerated, so I can be the emperor of the soil in Datong with peace of mind, and I don't think much else.

Besides, as long as the power is strong and the soldiers and horses are strong, in the end, all parties will still win him over.

"Li Guangheng, the general of the cavalry battalion of the Chinese army, led the cavalry, Gao Shiyin, the general of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, and Han Chao, the general of the Xuanwu battalion of the guard, each led the first-class army in the battalion, cooperated with Li Yunshu and other brothers, and a part of the Datong Town brothers, went to various places in Taiyuan, arrested profiteers, and confiscated the property of various thieves!"

"All of the above, the officials of the pacification department will accompany them, supervise military discipline, and check the seizures."

Li Yunshu's face was solemn and he nodded heavily.

For their Shanxi town soldiers and horses, most of them are stationed in the town, such as Ningwu Pass, Yatou Pass, Hequ, Baode, Zhenxiwei and other places, and the eight families of Shanyou have little contact, of course, it is not completely unconnected, some generals, weekdays also collect the filial piety of those merchants, especially the filial piety of merchants in western Jinxi and Shaanxi and other places.

After the Liaodong War, there were not many soldiers and horses left in Shanxi Town, and this operation also needed to be selected, and the officials and generals who had a heavy relationship with those businessmen were all selected and did not participate in the action.

Although the consequences were quite serious, after the two evils, Li Yunshu and other Shanxi town generals still decided to join Wang Dou's side.

Seeing the current situation of the East Road, they were also full of confidence in the future, Wang Dou had already painted a big picture to them, and what they gained in the future would greatly exceed what they lost, not to mention, after banning the profiteers, they could immediately share a lot of benefits.

Of course, because there are fewer soldiers and horses in Shanxi Town, especially cavalry, most of them embody a function of leading the way and persuading everywhere in this operation.

The specific actions were carried out by the Jingbian Army and the Datong Army.

If only the Shanxi Town soldiers and horses are used to act, it is inevitable that some of them will release water, or ventilate in advance, that is, the Shanxi Town Action Army will be selected through heavy selection, and it is inevitable that this will be the case.

Li Yunshu understood this, so he volunteered and proposed to let the Jingbian Army and the Datong Army participate in coordination.

In particular, the participation of the Jingbian Army, while supervising and strictly enforcing military discipline, can also prevent the outbreak of fire, the rout of troops in some places, and the taking of the opportunity to cause trouble in the places where there is turmoil.

After all, he is a Shanxi town official, although he decided to take action against the profiteers, he still has feelings for the local area in the defense area.

Li Yunshu quickly entered the role, he looked at the map of Pingxingguan, Taiyuan, Yuci, Taigu, Jiexiu, Pingyang and other cities, and muttered: "After the defeat of the business war, the profiteers must have fled back to their lair, they are extremely powerful in the local area, before arresting them, it is very likely that the local guards will be mobilized, and they will resist stubbornly, and even incite the local people as meat shields. ”

"If they stick to the city, not to mention Taiyuan, it is Pingyao, Taigu and other places, all of which are deep cities, and they will want to capture it for a while and a half, it is not so easy, it is best to have a handwritten order from the governor and governor in advance, obtain the name, and there is also an internal response in the local area, and the city gate can be opened."

Wang Dou nodded, the big businessmen at the end of the Ming Dynasty were not ordinary businessmen, but officials and businessmen, their power was unimaginable to future generations, the city where they lived, the local guards and officers and soldiers, were either closely related to them, or they bought officials and generals, and the clansmen who belonged to them were in front of the catastrophe, so they naturally desperately defended the city and resisted.

In history, Jiang Liang, the chief soldier of Datong, first descended to Li Zicheng, then descended to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and later opposed the Qing Dynasty, once attacked Taiyuan with heavy troops, and the local Jin merchants bribed the guards with heavy money, and recruited their own Ding people to defend to the death, and finally waited for Qing reinforcements to defeat Jiang Jiu's soldiers and horses.

It can be seen that the wealth and power of these Jin merchants are not those businessmen who have no force in their imagination.

Nodding to Li Yunshu, Wang Dou said: "Brother Li has a heart, there is no need to worry about this matter, the personnel of my Shogunate Intelligence Department have already come out, and it can be guaranteed that every time my army passes through a city, there will be an opening to open the city and sacrifice the city......"

On the afternoon of the 23rd, the day before the clouds were thick and the army was about to move, Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, and Du Xun, the eunuch guarding the town, also hurried to Wang Dou's military camp.

The town is only more than 100 miles away from Huailai and others, and after they received the news, they hurried up and could still arrive in time.

As for Wei Jingyi, the governor of Datong, Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanda, rushed from Datong City to Yulinbao, a journey of more than 400 miles, and when they received the news and then rushed over, the daylilies were cold.

However, Wang Dou and his father-in-law have close contact with each other, and they are all fast horses back and forth, and Ji Shiwei still knows Wang Dou's movements.

Although persuaded, seeing Wang Dou's resolute attitude, Ji Shiwei still gritted his teeth and gave Wang Dou a permit to arrest and confiscate the documents of the profiteers.

Whether he can be the governor of Xuanda in the future, he is already mentally prepared.

Shanxi Governor Cai Maode not to mention, Huailai and other places, to Taiyuan more than a thousand miles, he from Beijing to the south, through Baoding, Zhending, west through the old pass, and then arrived at Taiyuan City, thousands of miles, the road is not a moment, at this time whether there is any news of the business war, is a question.

In order to respect his opinion, Wang Dou also sent fast horses with letters to contact Cai Maode.

Zhou Yuji, the new commander-in-chief of Shanxi, was coming to Ningwuguan from Huguang and other places to take office, and he could not be contacted for a while.

In the middle of winter, when Zhu Zhifeng and Du Xun entered Yulin Fort with only a small number of entourages and dusty servants, Wang Douzheng and Sun Sanjie, the general of the baggage battalion, and Qi Tianliang, the ambassador of the Logistics Department, discussed the matter of the army's movement of grain and grass.

Wen Fangliang's left camp Jingbian army to Zhangjiakou is okay, it is close to the east road, it is quite convenient to replenish grain and grass, and the road is not far, only carry a few days of dry food. The first-class soldiers of Zhong Xiancai's right battalion who went to Datong had Wang Pu's clansmen to take care of them, and it was equally convenient to supply anything.

Only to go to Taiyuan and other places, the road is far away, everywhere passed, there are many hostile intentions, the replenishment of the army's grain and grass, obviously not an easy task, so in advance, we must make arrangements.

Before Zhu Zhifeng and Du Xun entered Yulin Fort, they both saw the Jingbian Army and other border troops stationed everywhere outside the fort, and they had already heard the power of the Jingbian Army, but the first time they saw it, they saw it with their own eyes, and the two of them and their entourage still changed color.

And......

Look at the appearance of this army, right?

Zhu Zhifeng's expression was solemn, and Du Xun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Yang Guozhu and Wang Pu avoided seeing each other for the time being, and Wang Dou received them, and according to the etiquette system, both of them bowed to Wang Dou.

Entering the General's Mansion, before Zhu Zhifeng could speak, Du Xunji couldn't help but scream: "Marquis Yongning...... What is this going to do? ”

His face was pale, and there was anger in his tone that could not be hidden. (To be continued.) )
