Chapter 717: Meng Yan sits in a sedan chair
Although there was no bloody storm this night, it was also a murderous undercurrent.
With Meng Yan's move, a fire burned to the Chunfeng Tower, which seemed to have nothing to do with any party, but stirred up the muddy waters of Datong City.
The impact that followed was something that no one expected.
Many people didn't sleep well this night, especially Pan Chun, who escaped from the secret passage of Chunfeng Tower.
When he returned home, he was soaking wet.
If he was caught, he knew that the consequences would be very strict, and he never thought that he would be so wolf one day.
Pan Chun returned home, shocked.
The matter of Chunfeng Building is very strange, and not many people know about the fact that he made an appointment to meet Chi in Chunfeng Building that day.
Although he couldn't be sure if the people were coming for him, if he was caught one step later, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, there is a secret passage hidden in Chunfeng Building that leads to the outside, otherwise the front and back doors are blocked, and he has no chance to escape.
Also who escaped with him was Narichi.
The news should not have been leaked by Na Ri Chi himself, otherwise there was no need for him to run away with him, but Na Ri Chi was different from him, even if he was caught, he would be an envoy of Wara, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to control him.
Unless he is a traitor in the Ming Dynasty and kills people and goods, otherwise, he should be fine.
According to this reasoning, he did not need to escape through the secret passage with him, which means that Richi would not be the one who leaked the news.
If it's not that day, who will it be?
Did you arrange it for the cronies who sent the letter to that day?
No, this man has been following him for many years, and he has always been loyal, and if even he betrays himself, then he has no one to trust.
Who could it be?
Pan Chun wanted to break his head, this question tortured him all night and did not find an answer. When I woke up in the morning, my eyes were bloodshot, and my whole person was like a defeated bull.
Although he left in a hurry, he still negotiated the cooperation with Na Richi, who would lead people out of his residence and guard the empty courtyard when Meng Yan led people away. Break into it with someone by force, find the Tatar princess, and forcibly take it away!
Such a good thing, of course Richi would not refuse, but he was also afraid that this was a trap set by the Ming people, and when the time came, he would take him down and bite back.
Then he would be in trouble, if it weren't for the appearance of Princess Minghui. He should stay out of the way and be a spectator.
Now he can't force it not to act, if he lets Princess Minghui fall into the hands of Mingren, it will not only be a matter of face.
I'm afraid that according to Taishi Yexian's temper, the two countries will go to war directly.
And now the war is not beneficial to anyone, and the war against the Ming Dynasty is not active in Warat, the Tatar royal court. Especially the ones who take off and don't spend and secretly make eye to eye with the Mingren.
Once the war began, Warat won a great victory. The Warat dominates the grasslands, but if they are not defeated or defeated, it will be a disaster for both the Yexian and the Warat tribes.
Then the time to unify the grassland will be greatly reversed, which is what the day must consider.
So. You can't do it brutely.
This is not a matter of one person, it is related to the lives of thousands of people, and he has to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
"Ake, now there is a chance, we can save the little princess. Do you want to do it? ”
"Why not?" Ake rolled his eyes, what's wrong with his own boss, do you still need to hesitate about this?
"This is a bit dangerous, and if you don't get it right, you will lose your life."
"We, the Wolf Guard, can die generously at any time!"
"Well, you listen to me......"
"Such a great opportunity, you still hesitate?" Ake didn't understand Narichi.
"The Ming people have always been cunning, although Pan Chun has some secret dealings with us, but after all, they are closer to the royal court, if this is a trap for the Ming people, this will be troublesome." Equator that day.
"What do you mean?"
"We can't use our current identity, and we can change into Akito's clothes and go with a scarf!"
"That's a good idea, if we reveal our identities, there will indeed be trouble!"
"That's it, tomorrow when the surnamed Meng goes to the school field, you bring a team of people to kill in the mask, and I will lead someone to stop the Ming people and take you away!" That day Chi said decisively.
After discussing the route of advance and retreat and the possible situation with Ake, he separated and went back to his room to sleep.
Although he also suspected that the official errand that suddenly appeared in Chunfeng Tower tonight might be coming at them, judging from Pan Chun's attitude, the news of their secret meeting may have leaked, but no one knows what they said.
This operation is dangerous, but if it succeeds, the credit is also huge, and the important thing is to breathe a bad breath.
He fought with Meng Yan several times, but he didn't win, and he almost died, and this breath was held in his heart, and it had become a piece of his heart.
Meng Yan's injuries are getting better day by day, and after this night's rest, the pain of the wound has disappeared a lot, and his spirit has improved a lot.
Today is the day of the Datong Border Army's Guards' Exercise, located in the Daxiao Field in the south of the city, and the person who presided over the exercise is the commander of the envoy, Ma Yi, the general of the East Road!
The establishment of the Datong border army is 14 guards, 3,000 households, and the total strength is about 80,000 people, which is half of the strength compared with the Yongle period.
Although there were 80,000 border troops, and the total number of them was 150,000, there were about 50,000 border troops capable of fighting after removing logistics and tuntian.
Datong is bordered by Hetao in the west, Yinshan in the north, and Xuanfu, an important military town in the east, and Xuanfu is half a level taller than the same in terms of specifications.
Therefore, the governor and governor of Xuanda all worked in the Xuanfu, and only one counselor was set up in Datong to handle affairs.
The governor of Xuanda is Luo Hengxin, and the governor of Datong is Lu Rui, the governor of Xuanda is newly established, and the first governor is Yu Tingyi.
There is some overlap in the functions of the governor and the governor, but the governor can dismount to manage the people and the army, and has great power.
According to the division of functions, the governor of Xuanda is the leader of the military and political unification of the Xuanfu and Datong, but whether he can really grasp the power or just do coordination work depends on the game between the cabinet and the military.
The border army will exercise, this is a big deal. There is no limit to the number of times every year, it depends on how much silver the court can afford!
The imperial court attaches great importance to the defense of the northwest frontier, so naturally such a drill (equivalent to a mixture of exercises and competitions) is naturally indispensable.
After all, this guard army moved back and forth, food and grass, accommodation and so on. There are many more training places in the station, let alone wartime.
A drill can cost thousands of people to say the least, three days, five days, or half a month, food, grass and camping, which is a lot of expenses.
This expense is not counted in the usual period and is unplanned. In other words, this is something that can reach out to the court and ask for money.
This time, the scale of the exercise was not large, it was just a routine maneuver drill and some military skills competition.
The exercise is generally between April and August and September of a year, and the nomadic herders in the north generally do not go south at this time, unless the two countries start a war!
"My lord, we're here to watch the exercises, and you don't have to go on the field yourself, so you don't have to wear armor. Wearing a python robe and leather armor is fine. ”
"Hmm. It's okay, I'm a wounded man, wearing armor is really a burden, just as you said. ”
"Son, you are wearing a python robe and a jade belt. This is in Datong City, and there are not many people who are qualified to wear it, right? Jiang Feng asked happily.
"Those who are qualified to wear python robes must at least make great contributions to the court, and return it to the emperor himself." Guo Xiaochao said.
Jinyiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and generally more than 100 households can wear flying fish suits. If you change to another guard, it won't work.
This is the special treatment of the emperor's pro-military guard, and it also highlights the special identity and status of Jinyiwei.
Meng Yan was originally not qualified to wear a python robe, the python robe can be a level higher than the unicorn robe, and generally only princes, dukes and the like are qualified to wear it.
However, if a person who has made a great contribution to the imperial court, even if the official position is very low, he also begins to give python clothes, python clothing is a kind of gift, which has nothing to do with the official grade, but generally people who can't do a certain level are also not qualified.
Even if it is a flying fish suit in the service, it is difficult to get one, if there is no special contribution, at least three products must be achieved to be eligible.
And the clothes are also colored, and the python clothes that Meng Yan was given came from the palace weaving bureau, which is exquisite and can be called a work of art.
This is a green python, and there is no python on the shoulder, if there is a python on the shoulder, then even if it is cyan, it is different.
Who can wear this kind of clothing or fancy silk clothes, underage, princes who have not been crowned kings or princes of kings.
Some people have been officials for a lifetime, and even if they are officials, they can't get a python robe given by the emperor, and their preciousness can be imagined.
This is an honor that most people don't wear as regular clothes, but only take it out on important occasions and treasure it at home.
If this python robe is handed down for hundreds of years, it will be a precious cultural relic, enough for a family to eat and drink for a lifetime.
"My lord is so beautiful today!"
"It's called handsome, you know, pretty is what describes a woman." Meng Yan saw the jade tree in the mirror, majestic and majestic, as if he had never seen it before.
This person relies on clothes, and the horse relies on the saddle, and when he wears this dress, he immediately feels different, but he doesn't know what will happen when he puts on a dragon robe?
Meng Yan was suddenly taken aback by his ridiculous idea, in this era, this idea is not allowed, it's okay, just think about it in my heart, if I say it, it will be over.
Wrap a jade belt around your waist and hang a whitebait bag, although it is not so customary to hang something around your waist, but on such occasions, you can only follow the customs.
"My lord, it's a pity that I didn't choose the Oiran today, otherwise, when you appear, I will make sure that all the girls in the audience will fall for you......"
"What nonsense, go to observe the exercise today, the official doesn't plan to bring many people, Brother Xiaochao and Zhang Chong must have one person left, you choose for yourself!"
Guo Xiaochao looked at Zhang Chong, Zhang Chong smiled bitterly, can he fight with Guo Xiaochao?
"My lord, I'll stay!" Guo Xiaochao spoke first.
"Okay, Zhang Chong come with me!"
"In addition, Hua Qingfang, Wang An, Qu Feng and Wang Heng also went together, and Lao Ma acted as a military advisor." Meng Yan said, "Give me another sedan chair, you still walk or ride a horse, and the official sits in a sedan chair!" ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"What are you doing, moving, is it possible that we are still living in Yanguilou and are reluctant to leave, this day is less silver, and eating other people's mouths is short, understand?" Meng Yan glared at Jiang Feng, "Before leaving, settle all the accounts that should be settled, and leave someone else behind." ”
"Yes!" (To be continued......)
