The so-called Taiyuan Town or Shanxi Town, originally called Sanguan Town, was also stationed at a pass - a partial pass, not really in Taiyuan.

Sanguan, Datong, Xuanfu, this is the middle section of the defense line of thousands of kilometers north of the Ming Dynasty, also known as the "middle three sides".

Especially in this place of Datong, the northern mountains are relatively gentle, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend the place, but it has to be defended, Datong does not defend, Taiyuan is dangerous, Taiyuan is lost, then the hinterland of the Central Plains is open to the nomads.

Since it is not easy to defend, it can only be a heavy army, there are 130,000 soldiers and horses here during the Hongwu period, and then it was slightly reduced, in the Hongzhi years, the border trouble is aggravated, and the Datong garrison is more than 100,000 people, and there are 17 guards under the jurisdiction.

These include Pingyuwei and Weiyuanwei in the west, Yulinwei and Datong Youwei in the northwest, Yanghewei and Gaoshanwei in the northeast and all kinds of thousands of households.

There are also more than 40 large and small military castles built.

It is a real military area.

In this kind of place, the army is the people, the people are the army, and the general army is in charge of everyone's life and death. In addition to Juntun, there are also Mintun and Shangtun, of course, Shangtun has declined because of the salt matter, in short, it is one word: chaos.

Now the imperial court has issued an order to turn out all the bad things here and make it clear, which guard is this land, which guard is that land, where is it so easy?

These fields were basically eaten by the 17 guards, large and small generals.

Shi Feng, the chief soldier of Datong Town, relied on a series of means such as pointing, exchange, and ban to control the situation.

But you can't have bans all the time, can you? So when he heard that the imperial court had sent the Beijing camp to suppress the formation, he didn't have the feeling that he was not trusted, especially when he saw Yang Shangyi's embarrassment in Jizhou, but he was even more happy.

So Feishu asked Wang Shouren to enter Datong as soon as possible.

Shi Feng only knows how to read, but his own handwriting is not good, the clerk on the side asked him where to report where Qingtun has difficulties, he thought for a while, and said: "In addition to the surrounding areas of Datong, there are difficulties." ”

"This ......"

"That's it. If you don't write that, what if he goes to the west first? ”

It makes a fucking sense.

Zhu Feng, the deputy general soldier of Datong, is also there, and it is at this time, no matter how dull he is, there is a feeling that the mountain rain is coming.

"I'd better go on patrol."

The gates of the town, the treasury and the palace in the city were all inspected by Zhu Feng himself.

I'm worried that something will go wrong.

……

……

Capital.

Zhu Houzhao felt much more comfortable after drinking too much that day, and sometimes people still need to get drunk.

In the next few days, the mood of reviewing the recital was relatively calm, especially when he saw that there was an imperial historian participating in the performance of Mei Kejia.

"Things in the world are always foggy, and sometimes it's really hard to see without a pair of eyes."

You Ji bowed his head, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" ”

"Speaking of these loyal ministers, I have less than 400,000 taels of silver this year, but I am in a hurry to death, and I can't wait to dismantle Mei Kejia."

People say that literati have many eyes, and there are indeed some people who open their mouths to be benevolent and moral, and shut up to be moral and benevolent, but in fact, what is it for?

It's also interesting.

"The ministers understand the emperor's difficulties, and the emperor should be happy."

Zhu Houzhao snorted and smiled, didn't say much else, but ordered: "It's okay if you're idle, find you an errand, and sort out the two stacks here, put the ones involving Ping Haibo on one side, and put the ones that don't involve them on the other side." ”

"The slave obeys."

The two looked slightly faster.

It's faster overall, because You Ji took three books and found that two of them were about Ping Haibo.

And Zhu Houzhao didn't look at these songs, he left them all in the middle, and one of them was a mud cow into the sea, and they had to die in a hurry.

Only when they are in a hurry to a certain extent will they support the imperial court's plan to expand the number of sailors.

In this way, today's review is much faster.

It's not dark yet, and that's all over.

"What day?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I've ploughed today."

Great ploughing, that is, the twentieth day of the first month.

Zhu Houzhao squinted, picked up the peasant end, and went to the door to ask someone to open the door.

You Zhi carefully draped him in the back.

There was no rain or snow outside, only cold wind, whirring and a harsh sound.

Zhu Houzhao shrank his head and walked outside.

This place, in fact, he is the appearance of the Forbidden City that he saw in his previous life, although there are slight differences in the details, but the whole is the same, after watching it for so many years, even the original details have been forgotten.

Looking out from the railing, there are continuous palaces, red city walls, and white stone steps.

No matter how many times he watched it, he still felt a sense of historical weight.

The wind blew his eyes narrow, "You Ji." ”

"The slave is here."

"How is Liu Jin?"

You Ji was stunned for a moment, I don't know if it was because of this environment, the emperor actually began to miss the old man.

"In accordance with Your Majesty's will, someone has been sent to send him to the central capital."

Probably because of the instability in his heart, he asked more: "Your Majesty...... This time, Gonggong Liu was also punished, do you want to announce his return to the palace? ”

Zhu Houzhao's gaze drifted and fell on his face.

You Ji was startled, and immediately knelt down, "The slave and maid lost their words, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"Get up," the emperor only moved his arms to find a more comfortable position for his hands, "the ground is cold, at your age, the cold wind is on your head, isn't your waist sore, and your legs don't hurt?" ”

You Ji was so frightened that he lost his soul, his temptation just now was really a little reckless. After being comfortable for a long time, sometimes I forget that the person in front of me is actually unpredictable.

"Yes, slave and maid, thank you for your forgiveness."

Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to bother with him, just now his eyes went quickly, and he received it quickly.

"Great Ploughing Day...... In a few days, I will hand over a will to Yang Tinghe. It's been a year, and the sown area of sweet potatoes this year should be not small, so I told him that I want to see the first piece of land. ”

"Yes, slave remembers."

Zhu Houzhao walked down the steps by himself, he is the master here, wandering around, relieving the tedium and monotony, You Ji has been following him like this.

A group of people walked slowly.

"Are there any local officials who have already arrived first?"

"It's still less. In order to catch up with the Great Pilgrimage, most of the local officials set off after the Lantern Festival, and they should all be on their way by now. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Houzhao said to himself, "The territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, and it is good that it is close to Beijing." A few far away, after the New Year, they will set off, and then rush back after the end of the pilgrimage meeting in March, it is the height of summer, and they have to rush to the road after less than half a year, so that the boat and car are tiring not to talk about, but the time of the year is half a year to work, half a year to hurry. I thought it was bad last year.

Five years after Zhengde, the Great Dynasty Meeting is still changed to once every two years, and next year will be counted. In addition to the long distance, some government affairs could not be done in a year. In fact, there is overlap in the agenda from year to year, and the discussion is still the same. ”

You Zhi said: "Your Majesty is whatever it is, as long as you make a holy decree, it will be decided like this." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Houzhao smiled lightly, and then shouted at the back, "Jing Yang." ”

In the team behind, Jing Yang quickly moved forward, "Your Majesty." ”

"I've arrived at the Wenhua Hall in front, when I was the prince, I was taught here, and I have time today, you give me a lecture."

Jing Yang bent down slightly, "Your Majesty has read a lot and is very knowledgeable, Weichen doesn't dare to say the word lecture, he can only know everything and say everything." I wonder what Your Majesty wants to hear? ”

"I don't want to hear or don't want to hear it, I have to know everything in the world, but if I want to say today, I still want to hear about the Tang Dynasty. The territory of the Tang Dynasty is very vast. ”
