A few days later, two imperial edicts were conveyed to Xuanfu Town.

The first edict was to transfer Shanxi's right to participate in politics and divide Wang Xiangqian, who was the right governor of the capital and the governor of Xuanfu.

Note that this is a tone, not a liter. On the bright side, Wang Xiangqian seems to have changed from a third-rank political participant to a fourth-rank governor, and he has also been demoted by one level.

As for why Wang Xiangqian is still so excited, it can only be said that this is the national situation of the Ming Dynasty, and the fourth-rank governor is more involved in politics than the third-grade governor.

Of course, there is a reason for the imperial court to arrange this, Wang Xiangqian has just been promoted to the third grade for less than half a month, and immediately promoted to the third grade, which is a bit too child's play, and it is easy to be promoted in the future.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that the governor is none other than Wang Xiangqian.

A group of old bureaucrats can always think of a compromise on this kind of issue, and in this way they have engaged in an operation that is clearly reduced and actually promoted.

Anyway, the governor is just a send, and the official can be either a third-grade or a fourth-grade, so let Wang Xiangqian go back to the fourth-grade and rebuild it first.

The second edict was to order Lin Tailai, who was sent to inspect Xuanfu Town, to rush to the border wall of Zhangjiakou Fort to preside over the ceremony of canonizing Bai Hutai, the chief of the Halashen Department of the right wing of the Northern Captives, as the governor of the capital.

Zhangjiakou Fort is only 60 miles away from Xuanfu Town, and it takes more than half an hour to arrive at the longitudinal horse, which is currently one of the most important passes in Xuanfu Town.

Originally, Lin Tailai thought about going to Zhangjiakou Baoma City to inspect. Now that you have the edict of the imperial court to preside over the canonization, you should go to Zhangjiakou Fort as soon as possible.

The main thing is to familiarize yourself with the geographical environment first, in case someone wants to rob the people by relying on their own strong soldiers and horses, at least they know how to retreat.

On this day, accompanied by Wang Xiangqian, who had become a governor, Lin Qincha went to Zhangjiakou Fort to inspect the work.

Zhangjiakou Fort is located at the bottom of a valley surrounded by mountains, only seven miles from the side wall.

If the Beiyu wants to enter the interior from the mountain pass between the East and West Taiping Mountains, Zhangjiakou Fort is the place to go.

Zhangjiakou Fort must also have a city wall, with a circumference of about four or five miles, which is much smaller than the town of Xuanfu.

If it weren't for the horse market, it might have been an ordinary border fort, but with the horse market, everything starts to be different.

Administratively, Zhangjiakou Fort belongs to the Wanquan Right Guard, and is currently garrisoned by a commander surnamed Zhang, which is definitely a super high match in the border fort garrison.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary border fort garrisons are generally served by military attachés at the level of a thousand households, collectively referred to as preparing a thousand households or garrisoning a thousand households.

At this time, Zhangjiakou Fort only has two city gates in the east and south, the east gate is called Yongzhen Gate, and the south gate is called Chengen Gate.

Most of the names of the gates of the castles in border towns are in this style.

Commander Zhang, who was in charge of guarding Zhangjiakou Fort, was two miles outside the south gate, respectfully greeting Lin Qincha and Governor Wang.

After meeting, Lin Tailai asked curiously, "You are also surnamed Zhang?" What does it have to do with this Zhangjiakou Fort? Or is it a coincidence? ”

Commander Zhang replied: "The ancestor commanded Zhang Wen for the right guard of Wanquan, and built this Zhangjiakou Fort in the Xuande period. ”

Lin Qincha dutifully encouraged a few words and said: "It turns out that he is a hero of the country who has been defending the border for generations, and what this official admires most is the soldiers who have fought the border in a difficult environment. ”

It's just that the name Zhang Wen is a little familiar, oh, and his entourage Left Protector collided with the name.

However, Lin Tailai didn't say it, and the Zhang family brothers who protected the Dharma on the left and right also pretended to be deaf and dumb, and they couldn't be ridiculed casually about everything.

After that, Commander Zhang invited the bigwigs into the city, but Lin Qin stopped and asked, "Is there a lady Zhong Jin in the city?" ”

Commander Zhang was a little confused, what do you mean, big guy?

Lin Qincha added in detail: "I heard that the third lady of Beiyu Zhongjin went from Xuanfu Town to the border wall of Zhangjiakou Fort, but now she can be in the city?" ”

Commander Zhang is still confused, I can't hear the big guy, are you looking forward to her or not being there?

still replied truthfully: "She did cross Zhangjiakou Fort a few days ago, but she has returned to the outside of the border wall and has not appeared in the side wall again." ”

So Lin Qincha was relieved and followed Commander Zhang into the city.

After seeing the barracks, streets, and government offices in the castle, and there were actually some private shops, Commander Zhang invited Lin Qincha to climb the north city wall.

More than ten years ago, a tall platform was built on the north city wall, with fifty-two steps, about five zhang high, protruding directly from the north city wall.

And there is the Jade Emperor Pavilion on the platform, which is the commanding height of the whole city, the function is similar to the enemy platform, and now it is the landmark building of Zhangjiakou Fort.

After Lin Tailai ascended the Jade Emperor Pavilion, under the guidance of Commander Zhang, he looked towards the north.

The east and west Taiping Mountains and the mountain pass in the middle are clearly visible, as well as the side wall built on the mountain pass, as well as the Qingshui River that meanders through it, are all in view.

Commander Zhang said: "Standing in the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the wind and grass at the north pass can be seen at a glance, which is extremely convenient for command.

Whenever it was time to trade, the Hu people entered this side from the gate of the side wall of the mountain pass, and the Han merchants came forward to greet each other, and the two sides traded along the bank of the Qingshui River. ”

Lin Qincha asked: "Why is there no one at this time, so depressed?"

Where have all the people who come to trade gone? It stands to reason that April and May should have begun. ”

Commander Zhang: "......"

He really didn't know how to answer that question.

Lin Qin said suspiciously: "Is there any situation?" ”

Governor Wang reminded in a whisper beside him: "Didn't you personally order the temporary closure of the horse market?" It was also said that the qualifications of the tribes should be re-examined. ”

"Oooh!" Lin Tailai suddenly realized. He himself almost forgot that he had given such an order, which caused this depression.

It's called a grain of sand on top, and when it falls, it's a mountain.

Lin Qincha glanced at the north a few more times, shook his head and said, "Ben Qincha is really not satisfied, such a trading market is too rough, and there are many inappropriateness.

First, allowing the Beiyu people to pass through the border wall and penetrate several miles into our territory is a hidden danger to border security.

Second, the two sides traded anywhere along the Qingshui River, and the market order was chaotic and extremely irregular.

Third, the on-site management responsibility is not clear, and it is impossible to deal with emergencies in a timely manner. ”

When the brothers of the Zhang family, who were following Lin Qincha's side, heard this, they all thought in unison, could it be that they wanted to draw a few lines on the ground while sitting in the hall, and then start collecting health fees?

When he was still the small leader of Anletang, when he first took charge of the Hengtang Fish Market, what he said was almost the same.

Wang participates in politics. Ah no, Governor Wang asked curiously, "Then what do you say?" ”

Lin Qincha pointed to the side wall of the mountain pass seven miles away and said, "A new castle should be built close to the side wall and used as a trading place."

After passing through the side wall, the Hu people went directly to the newly repaired castle and completed the transaction in the castle. This prevents them from swaying around outside and reduces safety hazards.

In the castle, a city and Taiwan official office was set up, and officials were specially sent to lead hundreds of soldiers to be stationed to manage transactions on the spot and maintain market order.

Once something happens, respond in time, and close the city gate immediately, how can the traitor escape? ”

Governor Wang nodded frequently when he heard this, although the little sister-in-law often talked about it, but it always made sense, at least it sounded self-justifying.

After finishing speaking, Lin Qincha patted Governor Wang's shoulder kindly and said encouragingly:

"Xiao Wang, now that you are the governor, you have to worry about this matter, which can be regarded as sending you a new official to take office with three fires.

It's just that when you make a contribution to the court after you do it, don't forget to explain that this matter comes from my instructions and ideas, as well as my strong support. ”

Governor Wang: "."

He, Wang Xiangqian, is now the governor! The person who can speak to the governor in this tone can only be the elder of the pavilion, right?

After Lin Qincha instructed the next step of Ma City, he remembered another task of his own, and asked Commander Zhang: "I can't see the situation beyond the side wall here, and what should I do about the canonization ceremony?" ”

Commander Zhang pointed to the side wall of the mountain pass seven miles away and said, "Then move on to the side of the labor, continue to walk to the side, climb the border wall and look out of the enemy building." ”

So Lin Tailai came out of Zhangjiakou Fort again and headed towards the side wall of the mountain pass in the north.

When they got a little closer, they found that there were two adjacent enemy towers on this side wall, and there was a wall door under each of the enemy towers.

One wall door has the word "horse" written on it, and the other wall door has the word "city" written on it, which together is "horse market".

Then Lin Qincha entered the side wall, and after cordially greeting the soldiers guarding the side pier, he climbed the enemy tower on the word "horse".

Looking at the Saibei outside the border wall, as well as the scattered rides back and forth, Lin Tailai finally had the feeling of being at the forefront of the border.

In the traditional sense, the mountain pass and the side wall at the foot are the dividing line between the Ming Dynasty and the Beiyu, with the Han in the south behind and the Hu in the north.

However, at the limit of his field of vision, Lin Qincha vaguely saw some buildings that looked like houses.

Commander Zhang introduced: "In the past 20 years, the border war has subsided, and some captives from the Karashen Department on the opposite side have built houses and settled near the border wall, which may be the benefit of the horse market. ”

Lin Qincha could only say that the situation was really different now, and these northern captives actually dared to settle near the side wall.

A few decades ago, these captives had already been stolen by the Ming border army and cut off their heads.

Lin Tailai asked again: "What exactly should I do with the canonization ceremony?" ”

Commander Zhang pointed to the north and continued to introduce: "If there is a big canonization, choose a place outside the side wall to set up a temporary camp, and set up a tent and build an earthen platform.

Then our ministers went to the temporary camp and stationed there, and the chief of the northern captives went to the temporary camp to be sealed.

Anyway, for the sake of safety, the chieftains of the northern captives cannot be allowed to enter the side wall, except for the third lady. ”

Standing on the Great Wall, Lin Qin was a little embarrassed and said, "I still want this official to go out of the side wall."

Commander Zhang looked at Lin Qincha in astonishment, not knowing what to say.

I heard that this Qincha martial arts is known as a hundred, and he is known as Jinbu. Over the past few years, he has fought invincible opponents in the north and south, and the rampant Beijing division is more violent than the factory guard.

And from the martial arts examination room to the liberal arts examination room, he made a nine-yuan achievement that shocked the past and the present.

How can such a generation of fierce people not even dare to come out of the side wall? You can't just have the guts, right?

Now is not the time for soldiers to fight and fight dangerously, and in this kind of safe peacetime, they dare not go out of the side wall?

Even if it is the most incompetent ordinary person, he will not say that he does not dare to go out of the side wall at this time!

This can't be said to be cowardly as a mouse, it's simply mentally retarded!

Commander Zhang couldn't help but wonder if the rumors were seriously distorted, or if he had seen a fake Qincha?

At this moment, suddenly a group of captives galloped under the side wall and waved at the head of the city.

And a person who understands Chinese shouted: "The one who is superior above, but Master Lin? Two generations of Chechen Khan Lady Zhongjin ordered us to wait to greet Master Lin! ”

The face of Master Lin at the head of the city, the "brush" turned black, this girl is finished, right?

Why were you so cheap!

Seeing a noble young woman of an alien race, and she could be manipulated by her own power, she irresponsibly flirted a few words.

originally thought that it would be okay after the teasing, but who would have thought that the other party would be so crazy to criticize!

And the rest of the people in the city looked at each other, and no one spoke.

The captive rider below shouted again: "Mrs. Zhong Jin still has a word, please come over and play!"

Master Lin likes to listen to whatever tune, just say anything! ”

Commander Zhang: "."

it! I seem to have heard some terrible secret!

Could this be the reason why my first warrior of the Ming Dynasty is reluctant to go out of the side wall?

In front of everyone, Lin Tailai felt that he had been publicly executed, but he suddenly remembered that he was a Qincha patrolling the border!

Then he opened his mouth and ordered: "Release the arrows!" Shoot the arrows! Aim at these babbling captives! Fire guns are also available! ”

Commander Zhang, who came back to his senses, panicked and persuaded hard: "I can't do it!" I can't help it! The other party has no hostility, and you can't provoke without permission! ”

Lin Tailai asked again: "Can't you really hold a canonization ceremony inside the side wall?" ”

Commander Zhang replied helplessly: "Discussing peace and returning to peace, but it does not mean that there is no defense.

Because of the barbaric habits of the northern captives, the imperial court strictly forbade the northern chieftains or envoys to enter the border walls to prevent nothing from happening.

Even the three ladies of Mrs. Zhong Jin, who were specially acquiesced, could not openly display their banners after entering the side wall.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to hold a canonization ceremony within the side walls, and there has never been a precedent in the past two decades. ”

Lin Qincha sighed, and could only take one step at a time, and then instructed Governor Wang:

"Xiao Wang, the matter of building a temporary camp and arranging the ceremony will be handled by you."

Governor Wang: "."

It's okay to do things for you, but can you be a little more respectful of being a nephew in tone?

Commander Zhang also asked Governor Wang for instructions: "According to the custom, every time before and after the opening of the horse market, or before and after the canonization ceremony, the ministers in charge of the border must entertain the chiefs of the relevant tribes, declare the kindness of the imperial court, and find out the dynamics of Zhuyi.

Now there will be both horse market affairs and canonization ceremonies, which should entertain the lords of the Karashen tribe opposite. ”

Governor Wang pointed at Lin Qincha, which means that the minister in charge of the border is over there!

Lin Qin sighed for the first time, and asked, "Hospitality Zhuyi also has to go out of the side wall?" ”

"That has to be." Commander Zhang replied, "The hospitality banquet should also be outside the side wall. ”

"Then let's prepare first!" Lin Qincha could only say this.

These are all necessary procedural work, and as long as they are in place, they cannot be refused.

It should be no problem to hold a banquet to entertain the lords of the Karashen tribe, right? The third lady was embarrassed to rush over, did she insist on robbing someone?
