As a military town of the Ming Dynasty, the city wall of Datong can definitely be described as impregnable.

Not to mention much, let's just say that the city wall is almost three zhang high, and it is a copper wall that is difficult for the siege troops to overcome.

At this moment, on the official road outside Datong Mansion, dozens of civil and military generals led by Li Wenxuan, the prefect of Datong, were gathering together to discuss something, and looked at the end of the official road from time to time.

There is no doubt that these people have come to welcome them, and they have been appointed by the imperial court as the chief soldier of Zhengsanpin Datong.

As soon as the mighty Haw Par Army appeared at the end of the official road, dozens of civilian, official and military generals, led by Li Wenxuan, quickly dispersed on both sides of the official road, like a pole and pole, motionless waiting for the arrival of Wei Zheng.

When a guard in armor rode a war horse and appeared in front of them. Dozens of civil and military generals, except for Li Wenxuan, the prefect of Datong, who took the lead, the others seemed to have been discussed, and saluted Wei Zheng at the same time.

"The Lower Officer....the last general....Welcome to the General Soldier......"

Although I don't know if these people in front of me really salute themselves, at least what everyone did on the surface made Wei Zheng very satisfied.

However, when Wei Zheng's gaze shifted to Li Wenxuan, the prefect of Datong, who was still standing at the front with a proud face, without the slightest intention of saluting him. Wei Zheng's brows furrowed quickly, and he was about to scold subconsciously.

Because, Wei Zheng clearly saw that Li Wenxuan was wearing the four-grade official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, while he was wearing the official uniform of the third-grade military general. In terms of grade alone, he is two levels higher than the other party.

Zhou Shuyuan, who was standing behind Wei Zheng's side, seemed to know what Wei Zheng was going to say, so he quickly pulled Wei Zheng and whispered in his ear: "The general is angry... Our Ming Dynasty has always been heavy on literature and light on military force. Follow the rules. Your rank is higher than that of the prefect. But. You are a military attaché, and under normal circumstances, you still have to salute the prefect..."

Faced with this strange rule, Wei Zheng directly showed a stunned expression on his face.

However, having experienced many lives and deaths, he still reacted at the first time.

Under Li Wenxuan's arrogant gaze, he said with a smile to the civilian and military generals behind Li Wenxuan: "Ladies and gentlemen, we will be colleagues in the future." From now on, I hope you will cooperate with me. Defend Datong Mansion and block the rebels in Shanxi...."

As for Li Wenxuan's gaze at him, Wei Zheng directly ignored it.

Li Wenxuan's arrogant face suddenly became solemn, and he looked at Wei Zheng angrily. As for Li Wenxuan's heart, he has already listed Wei Zheng as an enemy in front of him, thinking about how to wear Wei Zheng's shoes in the future.

Li Wenxuan wanted to salute him himself and give himself a dismount. In order to show his unique status in Datong in the future, Wei Zheng also planned to give him a dismount.

After ignoring Li Wenxuan's changing face again, he asked with a majestic expression.

"Where is the deputy general of the defenders of Datong Mansion..."

"Zhang Wu, the deputy general of the lowly Datong garrison. I've seen the chief soldier..."Wei Zheng's order had just been released, and one was wearing armor. The middle-aged general, who exuded a thick murderous aura on his body, stood up and gave a military salute to Wei Zheng.

"Very good...."Intuitively, Wei Zheng is still very satisfied with his future deputy, and has even begun to consider whether it is possible to pull him into his camp in the future.

After nodding to Zhang Wu, he continued to order: "General Zhang, you have seen the thousands of soldiers behind me....you immediately arrange for someone to send the soldiers behind me to the barracks...."

After glancing at the endless stream of ironclad cavalry behind Wei Zheng, Zhang Wu said with envy: "Please rest assured, the Tiger and Leopard Army are all good at fighting Tartars outside the pass, and they are heroes. The humble duty must arrange the brothers of the Haw Par Army..."

Thousands of soldiers of the Haw Par Army, led by a few military attachés, drove towards the barracks in a steady stream. Wei Zheng and hundreds of soldiers of the personal guard battalion, under the personal leadership of Zhang Wu, entered Datong Mansion and walked in the direction of the General Military Mansion.

From beginning to end, Wei Zheng didn't glance at Li Wenxuan, the prefect of Datong who was standing in the middle of the official road, and his face was full of anger because he was angry.

When Wei Zheng and his party bypassed Li Wenxuan and entered Datong. Zhou Shuyuan, who followed Wei Zheng into the city, reminded Wei Zheng with a worried face.

"General, it's no accident, this Datong prefect must have hated us, you didn't see the way he looked at us just now, as if he was going to swallow us alive..."

"I'm worried that the prefect will embarrass us in the future. After all, in the future, our food and salary will have to be passed from the hands of the prefect Li Daren. Without the prefect's approval, we would have received no food from the Datong treasury. ”

As soon as Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, Zhang Wu, who was leading the way in front, slowed down his pace and reminded Wei Zheng: "Lord Commander, I am also worried... Before you came, the prefect looked down on us as a military attaché. ”

"Although the rank of the humble is one level higher than that of the prefect, if he does not salute him when he sees the prefect, he will use all kinds of means to delay the food and salary of the soldiers, forcing us military attaches to bow our heads in front of him..."

"So, please prepare in advance in case the prefect embarrasses us..."

At this time, Wei Zheng was also aware of the strictness of the problem, and at the same time, he was also dissatisfied with the deformed rules of the Ming Dynasty.

After a long sigh, he said: "Now it seems that the situation in Datong Mansion is much more serious than I imagined...."

Seeing that several people around him had heartfelt worries on their faces, Wei Zheng's words suddenly changed, and he said with a hint of murder in his tone: "However, don't worry too much....I think that my Tiger and Leopard Army didn't climb when they faced tens of thousands of Tartars, not to mention this gang of powerless civil officials...."

"It's still what I said on the way to Datong Mansion, it's good for these civil officials to cooperate with me, if they don't deserve to be with me and force me to be anxious, I will definitely let them die without a place to bury..."

The general soldier who spoke so directly and did not have any scruples, it was the first time Zhang Wu had seen it. Not only that, from Wei Zheng in front of him, Zhang Wu felt for the first time what a real soldier was......

It seemed that under the influence of the pride exuded by Wei Zheng's body, the worry on Zhang Wu's face was also covered by anger in an instant.

Without thinking about it, he said what he had been hiding in his heart.

"My lord, what you said is so good....this prefect, we can't get used to it for a long time....if there is a chance, the humble official really wants to break his body into thousands of pieces, and there is no place to bury him.......

took a deep look at the deputy general Zhang Wuhou who vented his dissatisfaction in front of him, and his mood instantly improved a lot. Wei Zheng nodded, neither affirming nor denying.

As an outsider, Wei Zheng wanted to find an alliance and open a breakthrough. However, Wei Zheng would never make a blind decision because of a few words in front of him, because he had just seen it.

Therefore, under the gaze of a group of subordinates, Wei Zheng said as calmly as possible: "This is a matter for the future, now it's better to go back to the General Military Mansion first and see where I will live in the future..."

After Wei Zheng's reaction was seen in Zhang Wu's eyes, a trace of disappointment quickly flashed away from Zhang Wu's face, and he replied to Wei Zheng.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..." (To be continued......)
