Datong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the head of the nine-sided town, there are more than 100,000 of the most elite Ming army stationed here, at this time the sun is setting westward, the magnificent and majestic, Guo Guchengjian Datong City appears particularly towering, Datong is one of the nine sides, it is Shanxi, Hebei to Mongolia must pass through, so it has always been important for the imperial court, all kinds of defense facilities supporting the self-contained system, it is one of the most important towns and famous cities in the north of Beijing.

To the north, is the vast grassland, although the land here is fertile, but no one cultivates, it is said that as early as the time of Taizu and Emperor Wen, the outside is fertile land, and later experienced the change of the civil fort, the Mongols went straight to the city of Datong, several plundering, are to Datong as a breakthrough point, the war is chaotic, who dares to cultivate?

Now that the land has been barren and turned into fertile water and grass, you can see the shepherds driving the sheep to graze in the distance, these herdsmen are not afraid of the Ming army, they love the abundance of water and grass here, and almost every once in a while they will take their flocks to wander around here.

Those who dared to go north, in addition to the merchant travelers, only the scouts of the Ming army remained.

These business travelers are all with the accent of Shanxi, self-contained, and other businessmen have no contacts, but they are keen to run out of the customs, most of the goods in Mongolia are bought out by these merchants, plus they have deep roots, and they also have a relationship in Datong, so when they go out of the customs, they are all in groups, the scenery is beautiful, and even some merchants carry camels and horse teams out of the customs, and there will be groups of Mongolian scouts to greet them, which seems to have the meaning of protecting them.

In contrast, the scouts of the Ming Dynasty are much more cautious when they go out of the city, a team of scouts go out, often outposts, rear posts, left and right wings to release fast horses, ready to fight at any time, there is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west, some are just generations of enemies, although the two years have been closed is quite peaceful, but the scouts are attacked from time to time.

As the sun set, the early evening wind blew the water and grass outside the pass undulating, and a group of Ming scouts appeared from the horizon, and hundreds of knights galloped wildly, rushing towards this pass.

The leader of the generals was wearing chain mail and a bronze helmet for shading, and his face was a little tired.

"It is also hard for the general to take the brothers on a tour, and when they enter the pass, the brothers will go back to the camp by themselves, and the general will go back to the house to rest first."

Seeing that Datong was in sight, a small flag in the gallop shouted at the general.

Xiaoqi treated this general with great respect, in fact, not only these scouts, but the soldiers of the three armies in the entire Datong Mansion, who would not recognize this dark-skinned general in his forties? This person has great military achievements, named Qian Fang, it is said that he was also a scholar in the past, but he did not know why he abandoned the pen from Rong, because of his merit to be promoted to a hundred households, and then won the Wang Yue of the imperial history of the right deputy capital of Datong at that time, Wang Yue was a famous general, and was later promoted to the governor of Xuanfu, and repeatedly used troops against Mongolia, this Qian Fang was around Wang Yue, and finally promoted to a guerrilla general.

It's just that a few years ago, Wang Yue died of illness, and the new governor of Xuanfu obviously didn't take Qian Fang very seriously, and the reason was actually simple.

Therefore, over the years, Qian Fang's words have not been easy, the errand given to him by Xuanfu is to patrol the border, although Qian Fang didn't say anything, there was still a little pimple in his heart.

Qian Fang listened to the words of the little flag, but shook his head, and said: "I can't delay much effort, and go back to the camp first, there is no movement at all on the Tartar side these days, the more this is the case, the more we have to cheer up, and later the official will go to Lord Zuo to report it, so that Lord Zuo can prepare as soon as possible, this season should also be the time for the Tartars to prepare for the winter, this year there is hail on the grassland side, the harvest is greatly reduced, and there will definitely be a border offense, you have to be careful." ”

That Xiaoqi listened to Qian Fang's words, and shook his head secretly, when Governor Wang was there, Qian Guerrilla was with the Shenji Battalion, which was one of the main forces in the Datong Army, and the future was immeasurable. Now that he's been sent to be with the scouts, it's a bit of a condescension. In fact, it's okay, it's just that this money guerrilla is still thinking about proposing to meet the enemy with Governor Zuo, and I don't want to think about it, Governor Zuo looks down on him like this, are people willing to listen to these words?

Xiaoqi couldn't help but glance at Qian Fang regretfully, didn't dare to say anything, and followed Qian Fang's horse towards the city.

The city gate of Datong is closed for twelve hours, but the drawbridge will be put down in the daytime, there is a small door hole five people wide by the city gate, which is specially for the scouts and merchants who patrol the border to pass, but even if it is just a small door, the ban is also extremely strict, three teams of 100 city gate guards, divided into three shifts on duty, and rotate at night.

Qian Fang took the lead in letting the horse into the doorway, and heard someone call him: "It's the guerrilla general Qian Fang who came back?" ”

Under normal circumstances, people from all over the same country either call Qian Fang a general, or Qian Guerrilla, even if it is a Shangguan, no matter how disgusted he is the governor of Xuanfu, he has to call a guerrilla, after all, Qian Fang's qualifications are here, and the credit is also a lot, and he must always respect it verbally.

Therefore, when Qian Fang heard someone call him by his name, he was stunned for a moment, and then found that there were not only guards guarding the city on both sides of this doorway, but also many men in flying fish suits and brown shirts.

Maybe it's because he has been working in Nanzhen Mansion all the year round, so Wen Zheng has always been unsmiling, but now he doesn't know what the reason is, this face is even more bluffing, he looked Qian Fang up and down, making Qian Fang uncomfortable.

Qian Fang had no choice but to say: "The contemptible person is Qian Fang." ”

Wen Zheng sneered and said: "Qian Fang, you have already happened to the East Window, you are greedy for military salaries, and your crime is unforgivable, this time this official was ordered to come to investigate the border generals, you are the first stupid worm in this army, left and right, take him down, and detain him for the time being!" ”

Although the brown-shirted Dongchang Fanzi followed, he was motionless, looking like he was watching a good show, and the captains of the Jinyi Guard were not ambiguous, and they all shouted and obeyed, and then pounced on Qian Fang like a wolf and pulled him off the horse.

When Qian Fang heard the words "unforgivable", she was so frightened that she hurriedly said: "The last general is not guilty!" ”

But where did the lieutenants take care of so much? Pull him off his horse and take him down.

Wen Zheng said lightly: "Whether you are guilty or not, it is useless for you to say it now, the evidence for this matter is conclusive, if you really have a grievance and escort you back to Jingshi, there will naturally be a place for you to be reasonable." ”

After that, Wen Zheng ignored Qian Fang anymore, turned the horse and left.

The scouts at the back arrived, and when they saw that Qian Fang was taken, they were stunned for a while, and the little flag officer from before hurriedly stepped forward to ask, but was intercepted by a captain with a vicious voice, and shouted: "Jinyi Wei is ordered to handle the case, who are you waiting for, take another step forward, and even you will take it together." ”

The scouts were startled and turned their horses back, watching Qian Fang being escorted away by the brocade guards.

In fact, on the side of Datong, the military attache who fell from the horse is not only Qian Fang, there are dozens of people, among which there are some notorious evil deeds, but there are many people like Qian Fang who have suffered from unwarranted disasters, Qian Fang and others are directly imprisoned in the Datong Jinyi Guard, and occasionally people will come to visit, all of them are some old ones, these people must also be out of the righteousness of friends, and they have made some points for him, but the news is not very good, saying that the palace named him Qian Fang, and this disaster is only afraid that it will not be avoided.

Qian Fang was also stunned, and became a criminal officer in a daze, look at this, the problem is still very serious, Jinyi Wei has moved, and there is a fan of Dongchang on the side, I am afraid that this time it will definitely die.

Thinking of this, Qian Ning was sad and embarrassed in prison, and he was extremely depressed, and then Qian Ning was loaded into a prison car and sent directly to Jingshi along with many prisoners.

This time, the Qin sent a patrol to inspect the border, and it was carried out in a hurry, and even hit the border town by surprise, and everyone did not come back to the senses, as soon as the prisoners had already set off to escort back to Beijing, although the time was in a hurry, but the results were a lot, and more than 40 prisoners were escorted back to Beijing together, which was very spectacular.

The border town is not far from Jingshi, and it is only a few days before the fast horse, and five days later, all these people were imprisoned, and the cell where Qian Fang was located was also extremely messy, and no one paid attention to it when he only sent a few nest heads every time.

At this point, Qian Fang is not afraid of death, she is afraid that these brocade guards will ignore herself, even if she dies, she has to understand how she died, how can she ignore it like this? At the beginning, he asked for no food, and was determined to wait for someone to interrogate, but to deal with the prisoner who did not eat, the jailer of this edict obviously had the means, and he did not let him suffer from flesh and skin, but just said: "The general is not afraid of starving to death, isn't he afraid of causing disaster to his family?" ”

Although Qian Fang is a character who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, he couldn't stand them being so intimidated, so he had to obediently comply, but the anxiety and irritability in his heart were extreme.

Thinking that he has fought all his life, he has countless merits, and there are millions of male soldiers in his chest, although he is not as good as Wang Yue, but he is also one of the best veterans in Datong, especially good at leading the Shenji battalion to fight, but he never thought that he would die in vain in this edict prison today.

Said that he stayed up day by day, and I don't know how long it took, in this dark prison, Qian Fang only felt that it was like a year, and finally, someone was arraigned, and the person who came was a brocade guard hundred, burly, and looked at him through the gap in the prison door with an embroidered spring knife, took out a roster with an expression on his face, and then said: "But Datong guerrilla general Qian Fang? ”

Qian Fang closed her eyes, sitting cross-legged in the prison full of dirt and cloak, both embarrassed and a little proud, her eyes glared at the hundred households, and said, "Yes!" ”

"Come, take him away." Baihu didn't seem to be in the mood to care about Qian Fang's rudeness, so he waved his hand and commanded.
