(This chapter is yesterday's, and two chapters will be updated as usual tonight)

If you can't do the order and prohibition, you naturally can't do the queue neatly, but Qian Taixin's doubts came out again, what is the use of practicing this kind of slow formation? Charging and fighting on the battle formation, what you want is speed, and the chief soldier does the opposite, what is it to do?

For several days, this kind of boring and simple training was done, and every day from the rising sun to the setting of the mountain, the chief soldier personally taught the formation and drill of the town guards. Qian Tai was surprised to find that the chief soldier seemed to be very proficient in this, and many changes in various passwords and movements made him feel refreshed. After a few days of crawling and rolling, the soldiers can basically distinguish the left and right, twelve and fifty wide horizontal lines, although the rows are uneven, but each row can finally distinguish a line that is not straight.

Although the progress is slow, Li Xin is still meticulous in teaching and tireless. Qian Tai felt that the general soldier was so exhausted about his body, and listened to the rhythmic sound of the trumpet on the school ground, and a sense of hope gradually rose in his heart.

Originally, he didn't have much hope for the deserted and dilapidated fortress of Zhenyuwei, and for a while, it was his greatest goal in life to transfer out of this place as much as possible. However, the arrival of Li Xin, as well as the various measures taken after his arrival, made him see the possibility of restoring the glory of the old glory of Zhenyu Wei.

Qian Tai is not a strong-willed person, but he also has a three-point blood, and the general soldier has shown extraordinary enthusiasm for reviving the town guard, which has also aroused the blood that has been suppressed in his heart for a long time. So, he was ready to abandon his past selfishness and prepare to fight vigorously with Li Xin in Zhenyuwei.

But when Qian Tai made up his mind, there was another person from the Dusi Mansion, who was the Dusi Mansion with whom he had previously secretly discussed. Nominally, he came to inspect the reconstruction of the town guard station on the order of the capital minister, but he always had a feeling that this person was not good.

Although nominally the Sanwei General Military Mansion and the Dusi Yamen are not subordinate to each other, Li Xin still received this envoy from the Shanxi Xingdu Mansion out of politeness and politeness, after all, he still wants to develop on the ground of Datong Mansion, and it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

The initial impression of that incident on Li Xin was also very easy-going, since he was brought in outside the south gate, he always smiled along the way, but kept saying yes. Qian Tai was still a little weak at first, but seeing that he did not show embarrassing intentions along the way, he finally relieved himself.

With some pleasantries, the atmosphere gradually warmed up, and the matter even started a joke.

"Oh, to be honest, if Xia hadn't been ordered by the Dusi Mansion, he really didn't want to take the liberty to bother General Li, this New Year hasn't come out yet, but he wants to spend a few more days at home! Let's hurry up and go on a trip, so let's go back before dark. ”

Xia Du's implication is that he is here to go through the motions, how can Li Xin not understand the sound of his words, he has already prepared a rich Cheng Yi, and now the property confiscated by the Zhenyu Wei is piled up in the Zhenyu Acropolis, and it is not a problem to have some blood.

"The capital has been tiring all the way, and the Wei Si Yamen has prepared the wine and food early in the morning, and he should wash the dust first and then talk about other things." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the right arm of the Xia Dushi, and went in the direction of the Weisi Yamen. This kind of rash contact with the other party's body can be said to be a kind of impolite behavior in the Ming Dynasty. But Li Xin is a military attaché, and his behavior is a little out of line will not make people feel disgusted immediately, plus his attitude is just right, then Xia Dushi suddenly felt that the other party was enthusiastic.

"In this way, Xia is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" Then he said suddenly: "Mr. Li's tiger hand is lighter, and this bone is about to break." ”

Li Xin let go of the hand holding Xia Dushi and laughed, "It turned out to be Li Mou Menglang!" ”

Xia Dushi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Li is a man of temperament, please." At the same time, he stretched out his right arm and signaled Li Xin to lead the way.

The two of them looked at Qian Tai more and more confused, and it was said that with his understanding of Xia Du's affairs, this person came to Zhenwei not only to order Cheng Yi, but with a drum in his heart, his movements slowed down.

That Xia Dushi suddenly turned around and said, "Why is Governor Qian stunned?" ”

Qian Tai suddenly woke up when he heard this, and hurriedly hurried a few steps to Xia Dushi. "What do you command?" He looked up at Li Xin, who was leading the way, for fear that he would be aware of the delicate relationship between himself and Xia Dushi.

Xia Dushi snorted imperceptibly in his throat and stopped talking. Qian Tai has fifteen buckets in his heart, seven up and eight down, and I don't know what the idea is in the heart of this summer capital.

But the Ming official system, the capital of the capital of the Si Mansion is the seventh grade, the governor of the Wei Si Yamen is from the seventh grade, although Qian Tai is one level lower than him, but they are not subordinate to each other, there is no need to be so cautious, but he represents a fellow of the Du Si Mansion, and the commander of the position is now vacant, and it is said that the same acquaintance will go further nine times out of ten. Qian Tai had something to do with the confidant who knew the same thing as the Dusi Mansion, although at the beginning he could climb the high branches, but now he has a sense of unpredictability, so it is better to follow Li Xin to do things steadfastly.

After a while, the group entered the Weisi Yamen. The humble Sanjin Mansion frowned at the Xia Capital Affair.

"Mr. Li is diligent and thrifty, which is admirable!"

"During the period of chaos, since you should be a qiē from Jane!"

Li Xin responded again. The two of them entered the main hall of the Weisi Yamen one after another, and Xia Dushi seemed to be disappreciative and smiled: "The Yamen is also the face of the imperial court, and there was a shortage of materials in the past, so it is needless to say, and now General Li does not have to be too harsh on himself!" ”

Gu Shishi, who had been following behind Li Xin, stopped doing it, and the shelves of a seven-rank metropolitan official were about to catch up with the imperial court, and his own general army was also a third-grade military attaché and was not subordinate to the capital office, what kind of rack did you take.

"Good steel is used on the blade, building walls, guarding side walls, and training the new army is not more important than repairing the house?"

Governor Qian was so frightened that his face turned green, and offending this Xia Capital matter was equivalent to offending the governor of the capital and the future commander. Although Li Xin is the chief soldier of the three guards, he has to act according to the face of others. Gu Shishi didn't understand, but he understood it very well.

In addition to the military and political affairs of the capital office, the Datong prefect has divided the power to govern the people. Since the Wanli guard has been eroded, the previous self-sufficiency model has been difficult to maintain, and the required materials must be transferred by the imperial court to the prefect of Datong Prefecture, which is dead to the neck of the Shanxi Xingdu Division. With the sharp rise of civil strife in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the rampant thieves, and the rampant foreign captives, the jurisdiction of the general army of Datong Town also began to erode the authority of the Dushan Xixingdu Division and the Datong Prefect, and since Chongzhen six years later, there has been a faint tendency to override the other two prefectures.

Now the imperial court has cut out the three guards and set up another three guards general army, which is equivalent to cutting the strength of the general army of Datong Town, and the two general soldiers can be said to be naturally opposed to each other, whether Li Xin wants to or not. Therefore, if Li Xin wants to gain a foothold in Datong Mansion, which has a complex environment, he must rely on it, and the Shanxi Xingdu Division, which is slightly weaker among the three prefectures, is naturally the first choice to win over.

Qian Tai saw that Li Xin was respectful to Xia Du, obviously he should understand this truth, but he never expected that Gu Shishi, a stunned young man, would dare to speak disrespectfully to his face, in case he ruined the plan of the chief soldier, it would be difficult for this guy to atone for his sins.

"Your Excellency is here, don't talk nonsense, don't retreat quickly!"

Qian Tai's rare words became fierce, but who knew that Xia Du seemed to be unimpressed, and waved his hand to stop Qian Tai.

"This little brother said it well, said it well!" As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Li Xin with a smile: "The good soldiers trained under the command of General Li have to be used on the blade of good steel, but it is Xia Moumeng!" ”

In fact, even Qian Tai felt that this situation was awkward, and he was talking to the dignified Sanwei General Soldier of the third grade, as if the two were on an equal footing, although it seemed polite, but in fact it was arrogant to the extreme. Looking at it again, Li Xin didn't seem to care at all, and couldn't help but admire the mind of the chief soldier.

In fact, after all, Li Xin is from the 21st century, and he is not sensitive to this kind of dignity and humility, so this smiling Xia Dushi does not feel much offended to talk to him with this seemingly equal posture.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Xia Dushi patted his belly and burped loudly.

"Now the town is rich and rich, the meat pipe is enough, and the wine pipe is full, it is really incomparable, I remember that when Xia came last year, Governor Qian greeted him with pickles and tofu......"

Xia Dushi always mentions the Zhenyu Wei in his words, intentionally or unintentionally, and Qian Tai's heart is faintly heavy, didn't he pay attention to that batch of goods?

Li Xin smiled and said nothing, he had a hunch that today's topic should be raised. Sure enough, Xia Dushi smacked his lips and continued: "I don't know if the chief soldier has heard of it, the court has sent a new prefect of Datong, and he will be in office soon!" ”

Hearing this, Qian Tai's heart was relieved. It turned out that Xia Du came to take the initiative to win over Li Xin. Previously, the prefect of Datong Prefecture had been vacant for several months because of the Tartars' entry into the Kou, and the authority of the Dusi Mansion also took the opportunity to expand, extending its tentacles into the forbidden territory that originally belonged to the prefect of Datong Prefecture. Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong Town, led his troops to follow Lu Xiangsheng to block the Tartars, and I heard that it was also a defeat to be punished, and the position of the general soldier of Datong Town was also in fact vacant, and the subordinate officials also had a posture of falling down and scattering, and the people were panicked, and the Dusi Mansion had a faint meaning of being a monopoly.

Now that the prefect of Datong has arrived, presumably the Tongzhi should have a sense of crisis, so he is ready to win over Li Xin, who is the chief soldier of the three guards. However, looking at the arrogant attitude of this Xia Dushi, that Tongzhi has the meaning of hitting a few poles with or without dates. At this thought, he was confused again.

Since Li Xin came to Zhenyuwei, the news has been closed, if it were not for the mouth of the Xia capital, he would still know nothing about the new prefect sent by the imperial court.

"Can you know the candidates for the prefect of Datong in the summer capital?"
