The governor of Xuanda is stationed in Yang Hewei, the governor of Datong is stationed in Datong Fucheng, and the general army and supervisor of Datong Town are also stationed in Datong Fucheng, which is the commander of Datong border town. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The cavalry of the brigade of the Ministry of Answering came out in all directions, approaching all parts of the border town of Datong more and more, and the whole of Shanxi was shaken, and the border town of Datong was responsible for the defense of this place, and these military and political officials naturally had to discuss countermeasures.

Military affairs are urgent, according to the rules of officialdom, everyone should go to Yang and Wei to discuss matters, but now they can't take too much care of it, Governor Xuanda came to Datong, and he discussed matters in the official office of the governor of Datong.

The governor of Xuanda commanded the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong, and the title of governor of Datong also had the title of admiral military affairs, which was the difference between Datong Town, but in fact, the commander and the supervisor of Datong Town were self-contained, and the imperial court made a decree, and the rest of the time it was just to give each other a little face, and everyone could get by. Therefore, in peacetime, the governor and governor did not interfere much in the affairs of Datong Town, but now the situation is different, and the urgent documents have been sent to Jingshi, so they can't care so much.

Several people sat in the hall, naturally the governor of Xuanda, Weng Wanda, sat in the middle, Mei Wenjin, the governor of Datong, sat on the left, and Ma Dong, the deputy general who temporarily acted as the chief soldier, sat on the right, and Xu Wen, the superintendent of the army, sat under Ma Dong.

The official ranks are arranged like this, but it is Ma Dong who has to lead the troops to do things, and other generals can do this position of the general soldier, even if it is temporary, it is all abnormal, but Ma Dong may be from a family of generals, and he has always been low-key and introverted.

His attitude of following the rules in everything made the governor and the governor feel quite tricky, but when things got to this point, it didn't matter whether it was tricky or not, let's talk about things first.

"Now the suicide tiger mouth to the tiger valley mouth, there are police everywhere, the day before yesterday, the town of Qiang Fort has been lit beacon fire wolf smoke, this year there is no wind and snow on the grassland, the harvest in the naturalization city is not bad, why are the Tartars looking for provocations everywhere?"

Weng Wanda has been in the position of governor of Xuanda for almost ten years, and at the age of his early seventies, this old man built the border wall and trained the border soldiers in the past.

The face of the governor of Datong was quite ugly, and now, the governor still has to pretend to be confused, he said coldly: "Lord Commander, in the past few months, caravans have been robbed everywhere, not only our caravans, but even the caravans on the Tartar side have also been robbed, yesterday the letter from the old Yuanfu Shen Pavilion also arrived, let us strictly investigate and deal with such a situation, who can take care of those profiteers, the Tartars are so cavalry out, who knows whether it is to chase the horse thieves, or what is the evil intention for our Daming, the monk Du Guleng This person is not my answer, he was ...... back then", i"The old slave has such soldiers and horses, and lives in the north, we have also heard of this sentence, since it has come to this point, you must always come up with a charter, what is the use of saying clichés, the caravan was robbed, it must be investigated and dealt with seriously, the Tartars moved, and we must also be careful to take precautions, and our family will also write an excerpt to the palace.

Xu Wen, the supervisor here, also said sharply, he is also a cliché, but several people can understand it, and they know it in their hearts, a certain eunuch in the hall of the celebrant supervisor, and a few eunuchs also have letterheads, the profits of border trade are so heavy, many eunuchs in Beijing have also intervened, horse thieves are so rampant, many people are damaged, and when the cavalry of the brigade on this side of Guihua City comes out, it is equivalent to cutting off the trade route, and a large amount of gold and silver is in the account on weekdays, and suddenly it is so broken, who will be willing, and naturally have to supervise and solve it.

After a few conversations, the three people in the room still focused their eyes on Ma Dong, who was sitting on the chair with the old god Ma Dong, and he didn't make a sound, and he didn't seem to be listening.

"Master Ma?"

"Master Ma !?"

The governor of Datong raised his voice and shouted twice, Ma Dongcai, the deputy general of the temporary Datong general army, trembled, and seemed to react, seeing everyone's attention, he paused and said: "I will be the temporary general of Datong, I don't dare to say anything, let's wait for the will of the imperial court!" ”

"There are no outsiders in the house, and now it's such a situation, why do you say that, if you deal with it properly this time, isn't the position of the general soldier of Datong not Lord Ma's, maybe you can be knighted and rewarded, you know the most about the military here, just say it and leave!"

Weng Wenda opened his mouth and said, even if it is to give each other a step, this Ma Dong actually wants to move out, and now in this season, there must be someone who is responsible, and it can't be a few of them.

I don't know if this Ma Dong is stupid or smart, a casual sentence over there, Ma Dong spoke, he cleared his throat and said: "Since you want me to say, don't be surprised, now the situation on the grassland, we don't dare to act rashly, in case we send troops and horses to cause misunderstanding, so that the Tartars have an excuse to enter the army, it will be a natural disaster, for today's plan, if you want to be strictly guarded by the border villages and forts, so that all the armies are ready to be ready and ready." ”

The words are clichés, but they have also done so, but the other three are unwilling to only get this answer, Datong Patrol Mei Wenjin frowned, and said: "Although my answer department has moved, but after all, there is no war, if we let the horse thieves run rampant, I am afraid that we will not be able to explain it here?" ”

Ma Dong, who was sitting there, changed his expression, hesitated but stood up, clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Speaking of which, some things are going to be spread out, what is the appearance of Datong soldiers and horses, everyone should have a plan in their hearts, Taiping for so many years, except for Sun Daying, who won a crazy battle last year, how many others dare to go out to fight, don't say go out to fight, even if the Tartars come to attack, how many can hold on?" ”

Everyone was speechless, and Ma Dong said again: "At present, there are 130,000 soldiers on the inventory, in fact, there can be 90,000 thank God, how many people can there be in these 90,000 soldiers, I am afraid that I can't make up 3,000 people, when the time comes, it is these 3,000 people who can go out to fight, and the others are not as good as farmers who farm the land, and now the question is not to clear the horse thieves, but whether they can hold it, if a few adults believe in the general's words, the general will say a word, the current defense can't be held, the Tartars are getting closer and closer, as long as they attack the side wall, they will immediately collapse completely, When the time comes, everything will be over. ”

After the deputy general Ma Dong finished speaking, the governor Weng Wenda and the governor Mei Wenjin both walked and took a breath of cold air, their faces turned dark, but Xu Wen, the eunuch of the prison army, looked a little confused there.

Weng Wenda now knows the soldiers and horses on Yanghewei's side, or he doesn't even know the combat strength of the soldiers over there, and Mei Wenjin, the governor of Datong, naturally can't see outside Datong City.

What's more, both of them are civil ministers, according to the soldiers, how can they understand whether the soldiers are strong or weak, and it is not what the generals below say.

Listening to what Ma Dong said was so serious, thinking about the frequent activities of the Tartar soldiers and horses outside, if it was really a breach and entered Shanxi, according to the previous rules, the generals were just demoted, and they would be taken out as responsible people to be held accountable. But they don't know the soldiers, but the superintendent Xu Wen is also in the army all day long, the eunuchs who come out of the inner court are different from the civil officials, the civil officials rely on the four books and five classics, and the eight articles, and the eunuchs want to come out to run errands, in addition to the background, they must also have the ability to do errands, and they must know to do practical things.

What is the combat power of Datong Town, Xu Wen is very clear than the governor and governor, it is indeed weak, but it should still be able to defend, and it has been peaceful for so many years, from Sun Daying and Ma Dong, the successive chief military officers are quite attentive, there are some soldiers and horses who can fight everywhere, plus Ma Dong has some soldiers and generals of the Ma family in his hands, and he can make up all the teams of 8,000 people who can fight.

Not everyone on the Tartar side can fight, but there can be more than 20,000 fine horsemen, and they all take advantage of the horses, but the Tartars come to attack, and it is impossible to pour out of the nest, and they must also stay to guard the naturalized city and guard against other tribes.

But Ma Dong actually said it so miserably, Xu Wen pondered it again and again, and felt that Ma Dong was also a perfect statement, if it was really a big package, patting his chest and talking, there would be no way to explain it if he lost, and now to say that the situation is miserable is better than when the situation is really miserable, and there is nothing to do with it personally.

The Governor and the Governor looked at each other a few times, but they had no idea, and they were even more disheartened when they thought about the prospect of being ruined and being arrested and imprisoned, and they didn't know what to do.

"Two adults, I will have a plan, I don't know if I should say it or not!!"

At this embarrassing time, Ma Dong spoke again, and the supervisor Xu Wen simply stopped talking, but the two of them seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Ma, please speak, Master Ma, please speak." ”

"Right now, Lord Qincha Wang is in Taiyuan Fucheng, and he has already ordered him to supervise the extermination of horse thieves, since there are police on the side, it is better to follow the power in a hurry, let's report to the Jingshi while asking Lord Wang to get an idea, so that we don't have to take responsibility for such things."

"Master Ma's plan is safe, according to His Majesty's temperament, after seeing Datong's emergency, I will let Wang Tong take charge of the prevention of capture, or let's play it together!!" ............, after discussion, everyone signed the seal, and the horse was sent to the capital quickly, Ma Dong still had a heavy face in the official office, but after coming out, he sneered.

The guards surrounded him and got on the horse, and a leader of the pro-soldiers came over and said: "Master, there are a lot of goods over there in Baiyangkou, and the price is high now, do you want it?"

"Lao Tzu repeatedly, when to sell what Lao Tzu said, you will go to Aries today. Over there, explain to that side, there is no order, don't fight those goods, or his whole family will not live!! ”

Baiyangkou is in Datong Town, close to Xuanfu Town, where Tianchengwei is located in Datong Town, and Ma Dong was guarding there back then.
