Chapter 45: Refreshing
、、、、、、、
"Who dares to trespass on my Nanyuan forbidden land!"
The group of cavalry didn't wait for Yuan Dahai to see the appearance clearly, and they shouted loudly, and the horse's momentum was still unabated. Seeing that the other party was about to pounce on them, Qian En and they couldn't help but change color, so fast, if they rushed up, wouldn't these people on their side immediately knock them to the ground and step into mud!
Yuan Dahai was also worried, but Ji Yong looked calm, stood on the horse and looked at the cavalry with a smile, and there was still a bit of approval in his eyes.
"Our family Shangbao is in charge of discipline, and on the order of Liu Yingkun, the eunuch of the palm seal, he brought Yuan Dahai, the secretary of the East Factory, to see Grandpa Shi, the governor of Nanhaizi!"
At the last moment, Ji Yong shouted with full of energy, and when he heard the shout, the first knight of the horse team instantly pulled the reins of his horse: "Phew!" Suddenly, the war horse soared into the air, his hooves pouted, and the knight's legs were sandwiched between the horse's belly, which was majestic!
Dozens of horsemen behind him were also rushing at the same time, and the neighing of war horses was deafening. Dozens of horsemen are like one person, their movements are neat, side by side, and they have the demeanor of a strong army, and Yuan Dahai is also impressed when he sees it, just by virtue of the actions of these cavalry horses, it is no worse than the elite of the nine sides.
But in an instant, Yuan Dahai froze, blinking his eyes in disbelief, convinced that he was not mistaken, and almost cried out in a lost voice: Eunuch?!
It turns out that these knights all have no beards, which is in strong contrast with the beards that are common among Ming men, whether they are officials, civilians or soldiers, not what a eunuch is!
Tsk, I don't want Shi Yuanya's subordinates to raise a group of armed eunuchs who can compete with the elite of the Nine Sides, my father-in-law is really too ambitious!
Yuan Dahai, who looked straight, didn't know how to evaluate this group of armed eunuchs, anyway, he was very shocked, shocked from the bottom of his heart, to be able to train a group of eunuchs into such an elite division, then Shi Yuanya was really well-intentioned!
But then again, what are you doing when you are a commander and eunuch training a group of eunuch cavalry in the royal horse farm who can't be sent out to fight?
Yuan Dahai is strange, very strange, if it is understandable that Dongchang has a black flag arrow team, but Shi Yuanya, a eunuch who admits Nanhaizi, has also privately engaged in an armed force, what is this?
After the war horse was settled, the knight clasped his fists with both hands on the horse, and after making a military salute, he said sharply: "Zhao Ziyi of the lowly Nanyuan horse team has seen Gonggong Ji!" After a pause, he pointed back: "Shi Gonggong is just hunting deer in Haizi, please go with his humble duties!" ”
"Lead the way!"
Ji Yong didn't say much, and it could be seen that he had dealt with these eunuchs and cavalry. Zhao Ziyi nodded, didn't say much, turned the horse's head and led the way first.
Yuan Dahai walked to Ji Yong's side and called softly: "Father-in-law..." He wanted to ask Ji Yong what these armed eunuchs were doing, but Ji Yong waved his hand and ordered him in a low voice: "Don't talk, follow our family." ”
"Yes."
Yuan Dahai didn't dare to ask more questions at the moment, and motioned to Qian En and them to follow him and follow Ji Yong and the group of eunuch cavalry to Nanhaizi.
After running for about three miles, there is an open field in front of you, there are no trees, and there are reeds taller than a person as far as the eye can see, and from time to time you can see many small lakes, which dot this reed field like pearls. This scene reminded Yuan Dahai of the Great Northern Wilderness in later generations, but he didn't know if this place could also kill a spore with a stick and scoop out a few fish?
Along the way, no one spoke, only the hoofs of war horses.
After walking for several miles, a long wall appeared in front of everyone's eyes, stretching straight to the sides, and I don't know how long it was.
Nanhaizi has arrived!
Ji Yong said that Nanhaizi is separated by a wall, and there is no one else in it except for Haido, Mahu and guards, and the surrounding residents are also strictly forbidden to enter and leave Nanhaizi. All the affairs within the walls were all in charge of the admiral eunuch Shi Yuanya, and it was okay to say that Nanhaizi was an independent small kingdom.
Where is the door?
The wall was too long, and the sight in front of him was full of reeds taller than a person, so Yuan Dahai didn't see the gate to enter Nanhaizi for a while. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the official road to turn and see a gatehouse appear in front of it, with the words "Big Red Gate" written on it.
Less than half a mile behind the gatehouse is a long wall, and there is a gap in the wall, about five or six meters high and ten meters wide. There is a small river several feet wide in front of the door, but there is no bridge, but there is a bridge plate hanging from the terrace above the wall.
Walking to the river, Zhao Ziyilang shouted: "Someone from the palace wants to see Gonggong Shi, put down the hanging feet!" ”
Hearing the shout, someone behind the door answered loudly, and then I saw a few people running to the platform built on the fence to get busy, and with the sound of the iron chains, the drawbridge was slowly lowered.
After the suspension bridge was lowered, Zhao Ziyi made a "please" action, and said to Ji Yong respectfully: "Father-in-law Ji, please inside!" ”
Ji Yong nodded, clamped the horse's belly, and the mount slowly walked behind the door, Yuan Dahai and Qian En followed them, and after they crossed the bridge, Zhao Ziyi took the group of eunuch cavalry across the bridge.
The guards in front of and behind the gate are not eunuchs, they are all normal people, looking at their clothes, they seem to be people and horses in Beijing.
As a royal ranch and hunting ground, it is not unusual for Nanhaizi to be guarded by people from Beijing. Yuan Dahai was surprised by this group of armed eunuchs and that Shi Yuanya Shi Gonggong, of course, the descendants of the Black Flag Arrow Team were also what he was most concerned about, and he wanted to know what this arrow team that would be led by him would look like. In fact, he doesn't force the current Black Flag Arrow Team to be the same as his ancestors when he accompanied Zhu Di on his fifth expedition to Mobei, but as long as he can catch up with the group of armed eunuchs in front of him, it is enough to make him ecstatic.
With the mood of unknown, curiosity, and expectation, Yuan Dahai drove a horse slowly into the back of the door, and just one glance made his eyes light up, but when he saw the grass and trees in front of him, the fox and rabbit racing, a grassland scene, it was really high and wide, plugged into the south of the Yangtze River! A gust of wind blows, the clouds shake the trees, and the grass waves, which is refreshing!
What a Nanhaizi!
Yuan Dahai couldn't help but secretly praise, behind him Qian En and Guo Kegang were also dumbfounded, they all felt incredible, they didn't expect that in the Beijing Division, there was such a big grassland, it was really eye-opening!
Seeing the surprise on the faces of Yuan Dahai and his subordinates, Ji Yong smiled and said, "Yuan Sifang, how is it here?" ”
Yuan Dahai was full of emotion: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”
Hearing this, Ji Yong smiled with a "haha": "Our family knows that you will say this, I think when our family first saw this scene, we were also surprised, just imagine when I was in the capital, when I saw such a grassland style!" ”
Zhao Ziyi and other armed eunuchs were not surprised by the reaction of outsiders entering Nanhaizi for the first time, and stood aside to wait for Yuan Dahai and their mood to calm down, Fang said to Ji Yong: "Father-in-law Ji, Father-in-law Shi is in the deer farm, is Father-in-law going by himself, or is it up to the lowly to pass on the word and ask Father-in-law Shi to come back?" ”
"Our family has something important, if you have labor, you can take our family and Yuan Sifang and them to the deer farm."
Ji Yong didn't want to wait, and besides, he didn't come often in this Nanhaizi, and since he came today, he naturally had to watch it.
When Zhao Ziyi heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's take my father-in-law to the deer farm!" With a wave of his hand, dozens of armed eunuchs suddenly whipped and galloped straight to the northeast.
