As the two book friends of ataruandbing and dream lover said, after looking at the symptoms, maybe I really have low blood sugar.

Also: There is another chapter around twelve o'clock.

……

In the wind and snow, Zhong Xiancai looks at this Datong City, which is called "Phoenix City", the city in front of him, is very majestic, it is estimated that the circumference of the main city is thirteen or four miles, the city wall is more than four zhang high, the city tower, the corner tower, the enemy tower tower, the wild goose tower and other pavilions are surrounded by columns, densely packed.

The four city gates all have urn cities, around the city wall, there is a deep moat, the city is on all sides, and there is also a city about each city, every city is five miles to seven miles, the whole city layout, according to the topography, it is like a phoenix that wants to spread its wings and take off.

Looking at its towers and strong barriers, Zhong Xiancai secretly praised that if the defenders were strong, if they wanted to attack such a city, it would be the Jingbian army, and they would also feel powerless.

However, facts have proved that the most important factor is people, with the solidity of Datong City, whether in the face of Li Zicheng or the Qing army in history, they all surrendered without a fight.

Seeing Zhong Xiancai's appearance, Wang Zheng beside him couldn't help but be proud, the majesty of Datong City, outsiders saw it for the first time, and there were few who were not shocked.

At this time, Wei Jingyi, the governor of Datong, was hurrying to the east road, but he was not in Datong City, and Datong City, since Chongzhen four years, after the eunuch Liu Wenzhong monitored the Datong military horses, for many years after that, there was no eunuch in the city.

At present, the most noble person in the city is the acting king, the prefect Dong Fu, and Wang Pu's father Wang Wei.

After receiving an urgent letter from his son Wang Pu, Wang Weisi thought about it, gritted his teeth and finally decided to cooperate with Wang Dou. Now Wang Pu has a very heavy weight in his heart, and he can't help but ignore his opinions and ideas.

Normally, his son was just a gentleman in his heart. I didn't expect it to be more and more promising, and now I am more earl, glorious ancestors, and I always think of it. Wang Wei felt that there was light on his face.

Wang Wei was the governor of the left capital, and he was the general of Jiupei, and he was the one who raised the town for 50 years. The power in Datong is deep-rooted, and there are few people in the city who can resist it, and it is only a trivial matter to raid the properties of various families.

After receiving the news that the Jingbian Army was about to arrive, in order to show that he attached importance to it, he braved the cold wind early in the morning and personally went to Dongguan to greet him outside the Ying'en Gate. Accompanied by the head of the Wang family, some close businessmen and gentry in Datong City, etc.

Wang Wei is well-informed in the military and well-informed, but. When I saw the first-class army of the White Tiger Battalion of the Right Guard led by Zhong Xiancai, I couldn't help but admire.

His son's new army has already made him praise, saying that it is blue and better than blue, but compared with the army in front of him, it is far inferior, no wonder the Jingbian army is invincible.

Wang Wei admired, the rest of the people, etc., is a change of color, many people see the Jingbian Army for the first time, have a trembling feeling, have heard the name of the Jingbian Army for a long time, and sure enough, meeting is more famous.

Wang Wei came out to greet him politely, and with Zhong Xiancai's official position, he naturally wanted to get off the horse to meet him, and saw an elderly version of Wang Pu in front of him, but his body was more burly, his face was slightly squarer, and there were some people around him.

"The last general has seen the king and the governor!"

"Hahaha, General Zhong has worked hard from afar, so there is no need to be polite."

Wang Wei's beard and hair are all white, but his waist is still straight, there is a sudden wind when he walks, and he is wearing a python robe, showing his past honor, he strode over and wanted to personally help Zhong Xiancai.

Before he touched Zhong Xiancai's hand, Zhong Xiancai stood up by himself: "How dare you work Wang Du Du Yutoe?" ”

Wang Wei laughed, he looked Zhong Xiancai up and down, the general in front of him ......

He was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Let the old man introduce General Zhong." ”

He introduced some people around him, and when he introduced the head of the Wang family, who was obese and had a strong atmosphere of wealth and nobility, Zhong Xiancai looked at him, his tone was soft, but his expression was serious: "The king's shopkeeper abandons the darkness and turns to the light, my general, I am very happy." ”

The head of the Wang family said embarrassedly: "The villain is ashamed, and it is also the teachings of Yongning Hou and Dingxingbo that he suddenly woke up." ”

Zhong Xiancai continued: "I, the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion, came to Datong City to arrest traitors, copy thieves' property, and many other matters, and I also need the king's shopkeeper to do more convenience. ”

The head of the Wang family nodded and said again and again: "This is nature, this is nature." ”

According to the resolution of Wang Dou and Wang Pu, the Wang family is guilty, but it is not a great crime, so after giving half of the family property, he can be exempted from criminal responsibility, which of course makes Wang Dengku and others feel pain, but compared with the small life, the family wealth is secondary.

Moreover, after checking everyone, Datong Town, and even Shanxi Town, are their royal family, and the benefits they gain are more than they lose.

When Zhong Xiancai was talking to the head of the Wang family, Wang Wei smiled and said nothing, but stroked his beard and kept looking at Zhong Xiancai.

In the end, Zhong Xiancai said to Wang Wei: "I came all the way to Jingbianjun, and I met many pedestrians and businessmen, I don't know if the traitors near Huayan Temple and Shanhua Temple in the city are alert?" ”

Wang Wei felt a pang in his heart, it seems that this person knows a lot about Datong City.

The streets and alleys of the main city of Datong are vertical and horizontal, the layout of the city, is to take the four arches as the center, with four main streets in the southeast and northwest, among which the general town office, the county school is in the east, the northwest has the government and the government school, most of them are the literati and scholars live, there are Huayan Temple, Shanhua Temple and the commercial street of the courtyard lane in the southwest, and most of them are the monks and businessmen who live.

According to the intelligence of the Jingbian Army, most of the shops of the major families are located on the southwest streets of Datong City.

Like Wen Fangliang, when Zhong Xiancai led the army to approach Datong City, he met a lot of businessmen and pedestrians along the way, and when they dodged in a panic, they didn't think much about it, thinking that it was a guest army crossing the border, but now that they arrived in Datong, pedestrians came and went, and many people were curious to watch nearby.

Looking at Zhong Xiancai, Wang Wei laughed: "General Zhong, rest assured, everything is in the old man's hands." ”

According to Wang Dou's instructions, Zhong Xian arrived in Datong City, and did not enter the main city, but lived in the Dongguan camp.

Accompanied by Wang Wei and others, Zhong Xiancai led the army into Dongguan.

Dongguan has three city gates, including a forage factory, a military drill ground, a camp, etc., and the residents also multiply and have a large population.

Like the soldiers and civilians of Zhangjiakou, the pedestrians of Dongguan who came and went suddenly saw a strange army coming over on the street.

They are one color of horses, one color of hats and iron pointed helmets, and they are wearing a kind of big flag with the sun, moon and waves, and the white tiger in one of the patterns will be larger, those armored soldiers and iron horsemen. A more one-color cyan cardigan winter coat with a mix of red and white on the outer edge......

They marched in order, and the momentum was terrifying. The frightened residents dodged one after another, but fortunately, there was an old soldier inside, and the people were a little at ease.

Soon, someone recognized the army.

"Jingbian Army. It's the Jingbian Army......"

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and everyone was talking about it. What did the Jingbian army do in Datong?

Many people think of the events of the past few days, right?

Everyone has a hunch that something is going to happen.

Sure enough, not long after, suddenly, Datong City closed the city, and there was also the gate of the main city. All closed......

……

There are hanging mountains in the west of Taiyuan Mansion, Mengshan in the northwest, Fenshui in the east, and cave whirlpools in the southeast. A total of 25 counties are under its jurisdiction.

Taiyuan Mansion City, one of the 33 largest commercial cities in the Ming Dynasty, is not only Taiyuan Mansion, but also the center of gravity of the whole Shanxi, known as Chongyong Pheasant Trench, magnificent in the world.

The whole city, located in the east bank of Fenshui, is composed of five cities of Fucheng, Jinwang City, Nanguan City, Beiguan City and Xinbao, there are eight gates in total, the city circumference reaches 28 miles, the wall is six zhang high, and the whole city is covered with bricks.

Along the wall of the city, there are four corner towers, ninety-two small buildings, thirty-two enemy platforms, plus the outer moat that is three zhang deep, it can be said that it is stronger than the iron urn.

However, at this time, the defenders of the city looked out with a chill.

I saw that in the wind and snow, the flags outside were like the sea, and the dense cavalry loomed in the snowflakes, and sometimes a gust of wind blew, and they seemed to be gone, and then I looked at them again, and their military array was like an infinite and deep sea.

It was bitterly cold in the middle of winter, but the army outside the city was silent without a trace of noise, only a few neighing horses occasionally came.

That kind of harsh military discipline and thick evil aura make people suffocate when they see it.

"It's really worthy of the elite border army that defeated the Tartars and returned home."

On the upper floor of the arch gate in the northeast of the city, Cai Maode, the governor of Shanxi Town, couldn't help but sigh.

Not long after he arrived in Taiyuan, Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, was still on the road.

Along the way, the news about the business war and Wang Dou's troops spread vigorously, no more than the sudden attack on Zhangjiakou, someone in Datong City led the way, and the Jingbian Army and other armies came to Taiyuan and other places, and the news could not be concealed.

In particular, after everyone spent a lot of money and made great efforts to win over the Pingxing Pass garrison, as well as the military horses in Daizhou, Xinzhou, Fanzhi, Dingxi and other places, everyone was in a panic, and the relevant interest groups behind them were also terrified.

News from the front kept coming, the Jingbian Army, the Datong Army, and the Shanxi Army moved quickly, and they were getting closer and closer, and the city of Taiyuan was frightened every day, and since the day before yesterday, the city gate was closed early, and the city was not allowed to enter and leave the city.

For Cai Maode, although he is a governor, but when he first arrives, the government affairs are not clear, and most of the local officials and generals have to be considered, and he belongs to the Donglin Party, and he is faintly rejected by many officials and gentry in Shanxi and Xuanda, which are important places for eunuchs, and they need to be cautious in their words and deeds.

may have heard that Cai Maode had a relationship with Wang Dou in Liaodong, so in the past few days, Cai Maode has found that he can't command the local officials and generals.

"They are all Ming courtiers, why do you have to meet each other like this?"

Looking at the army outside the city, Cai Maode sighed.

He looked outside the city, the densely fluttering flags, like the silent ocean before the storm, may erupt at any time, in addition to these, there are also teams of cavalry galloping back and forth along the city wall of Taiyuan City, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves is like thunder, knocking down on the hearts of the soldiers at the head of the city.

Seeing that these soldiers were all frightened and their faces turned pale, Cai Maode shook his head again, after all, it is a peaceful place in the hinterland, these defenders and guards have rarely been on the battlefield, they have seen blood, and in the face of those elite border troops who have fought with the Tartars, such a mental state is obviously unsatisfactory.

He watched, the Jingbian army and others arrived yesterday, and they did not move, not knowing what they were waiting for.

At this moment, a staff member came over and whispered a few words to Cai Maode.

Cai Maode's expression was calm, he stroked the Buddha beads on his wrist, and said: "Okay, let Benfu go out of the city and persuade the army outside the city to fight each other." (To be continued.) )
