Yang Xin is in his forties this year, but he looks like he is more than fifty years old, and even his hair is gray.

The General of Datong is the No. 1 general in the world, but this No. 1 in the world is not so easy to be.

The imperial court entrusted him with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in every year, and the more than 100,000 soldiers stationed in the military town to entrust the safety of Datong Town. His pressure was extremely great.

From the time he was seventeen years old, he joined the army in Xingzhou to the Oirat cavalry that broke out in Qingyanggou last year, Yang Xin's military career was one battle after another, which made his character full of soldiers' decisive decisiveness. However, with those generals and officials who fought step by step from the bottom, his background determines that even if he is brave and good at fighting, he cannot be a simple general.

He is Yang Xin, Zhangwu Bo of the Ming Dynasty, and a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty.

There is a Dai King in the city who guards Datong. In fact, he feels that there is no difference between him and Dai King. The only difference is probably that if Datong is really captured by the Oirats, he may still choose to escape, but the Dai King can only die for his country, but when it reaches that point, what is the point where he cannot escape?

Datong fell and the capital was opened. Yang Xin was the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty. When Yu Shaobao defended the enemy under the capital, he participated in the battle. That battle was not so much a battle of national destiny. But Yu Shaobao and even Shi Heng were there. Now the Ming Dynasty really has another Yu Shaobao and another Shi Heng?

Therefore, Datong must not be a mistake. The Tartar cavalry drove straight into the capital and must not happen again. At least, it must not happen when the Yang family was not dead.

When the emperor's close ministers went to Datong to tinker with something, he didn't care at all. He sent his son to deal with it. He thought it was enough. Han Yong even personally told that the emperor's close ministers instructed people to collude with the Oirats and might buy and sell some prohibited items to the Oirats, but he was not moved.

It was just some transactions in money, which was amazing. Han Yong was a good official and a capable official. If he knew about this kind of thing, he would deal with it, so he would naturally not have to worry about it himself.

What he cared about was the Oirat army that came and went like the wind on the grassland.

Every year, the Ma Market is basically the time when the Datong defenders are most wary. The Oirats will send troops to ensure the safety of their merchants. Although the scale of these troops is not very large, they are still worthy of being vigilant.

After the end of the city of Ma, the virtues of these Oirat troops were mostly those who had no dates but had no dates and would patrol and spy on the nearby military fort. Once they found that the garrison in the military fort was loose or there were enough money worthy of their risk, they would never tell the Ming people that they were kind and that battles of all sizes on the border usually started at this time.

It will continue until winter when snowflakes fall.

If there was a "white disaster" on the grassland in the winter of this year, such a battle would even last throughout the winter, which was the most troublesome thing for Yang Xin.

The situation this year is different from previous years. The owner was replaced on the dragon throne of the Ming Dynasty. Before that, the army had undergone several major cleanings. Whether it was morale and combat power, compared with previous years, it was probably a little lower.

If the Oirats do the same thing this year as in previous years, then there will be more headaches for Yang Xin this year.

"The vendor you mentioned personally took your personal soldiers outside Kouzi Fort, and encountered the Oirat cavalry?"

In the General's Mansion, Yang Xin and Han Yong sat opposite each other, and they lived in the same city. If it weren't for a particularly important matter, there were actually not many cases when the two met each other in such a way.

"Twenty people went, six came back!" Han Yong's face was a little unfair: "My people promised that they were not the horse thieves who were robbing families on the grassland, but the regular soldiers and horses of the Ola royal court!"

"Ma City is in Jinjiling. What are the soldiers of the Oirat to go to Kouzi Fort?" Yang Xin's face was solemn: "Jinjiling is at least more than 200 miles away from Kouzi Fort. These Oirat troops did not come for the Ma City!"

He pondered for a moment: "How large are the soldiers of the Oirats?"

"They saw at least two thousand household chiefs!" Han Yong said: "They were also few. When they found something wrong, they immediately retreated to Kouzibao. They were still found to be chased! The scouts who were chasing them all used heavy arrows!"

For things like heavy arrows, not to mention horse thieves, even small tribes on the grassland may not have them. The main reason is that this thing is too expensive. With the virtue of the Oirats riding and shooting, they cannot afford it at all, let alone scouts who chased them out with heavy arrows.

"I understand!" Han Yong nodded: "I will order strict prevention on the other side of the Kouzi Fort and let them spy on the enemy situation outside. On Datong, my scouts have been scattered fifty miles outside the city. So far, I have only found more than a thousand Oirat troops near Jinjiling, which is similar to their previous years!"

"I won't say much about military affairs!" Han Yong stood up: "No matter what happens, you and I will take their own responsibility, and strive to avoid any mistakes this year!"

Han Yong stood up and said, "There is one thing in the end. I'm afraid I'll tell you before leaving. Xu Bai, as a close minister of the emperor, colluded with the Oirats and planned to be together. This person has been taken down by me. In the future, I must mention Zhangwu Bo in the memorial to be sent to the capital in the future. You know this. You and I have to go forward and retreat together. If this matter is held accountable by His Majesty the Emperor, you will have to take some responsibility for me at that time!"

"Is the evidence conclusive?" Yang Xin nodded, still thinking about the issue of the distribution of the Oirat soldiers.

"There are all evidence and physical evidence!" Han Yong said: "The person has been imprisoned!"

"Then you can do it!" Yang Xin said casually: "Brother Han's character and ability, can I still believe it?"

Han Yong Shishi left, Yang Xin thought about the problem in his mind and called out to the outside: "Yang Qian, where is Yang Qian?"

He decided that it would be more appropriate to send his son to the Kouzi Fort to go there in person. There were so many people who died in Han Yong. If he just kept on guarding him without any pain, he would always feel disappointed. Moreover, if the Oirats had any intention, Yang Qian was much more powerful, whether he was in command or dispatching reinforcements, he was much stronger than a small thousand-household in Kouzi Fort.

"Dad, you call me?"

Soon after, Yang Qian hurried in.

"What are you doing when you change this outfit?" Yang Xin glanced at his son. A few days ago, he asked him to deal with the emperor's close minister Xu Bai. Yang Qian had been wearing regular clothes for many days, but these days, he had already changed into military uniforms.

But now he has changed his clothes to a regular dress.

"I'm just going out to meet a friend! I'm from Nanjing!" Yang Qian replied: "That friend asked someone to see me. Isn't this difficult for our General Mansion to enter!"

"Oh, I came from my hometown, so I have to meet you!" Yang Xin nodded with a bit of praise on his face. The Yang family is a nobleman in Nanjing, so naturally there are many friends, let alone those friends of his son's generation. If he goes to see his friends, he is wearing military uniforms and armor, it may make others think that the Yang family is a little arrogant.

"It's okay, Dad, you have something to tell me! Since I'm a friend from my hometown, it's okay to see you later!"

"Let's go and meet first, come back soon!" Yang Xin waved his hand: "It's a military affairs assigned to you. I'll talk about it when you come back, so as not to talk about military affairs first. It's not easy for you to go to see your friends to drink!"

"Dad knows the child best!" Yang Qian smiled: "Then I'll go first, and come back to my father to receive the order!"

After hurriedly coming out of the General's Mansion, Yang Qian glanced at Chen Tang who was waiting for him: "Chen Qianhu, why did Lord Xu meet me? Lord Han invited him to the Governor's Mansion, I can't help much!"

"Maybe I just want to talk to General Yang Shen and talk about homesickness!" Chen Tang's face was a bit strange: "Mr. Xu said that a few days ago, I got along very well with General Yang Shen..."

"Okay, no matter what I can do in this matter, I will always be acquaintance!" Yang Qian sighed: "I have military affairs on me, which may not be delayed for long, and Lord Han definitely doesn't want me to appear in the prison of the government office!"

"You don't have to worry about this. Governor Han is very busy. After leaving the General's Mansion, he goes to the arsenal. He is afraid that he will not be able to return to the Governor's Mansion for a while!" Chen Tang shook his head slightly: "I want to delay it, but Yang Shen has the final say. I don't have the final say!"

In the prison of the government office, Xu Bai and Jiang Daya were talking.

After talking to Jiang Daya, Xu Bai realized that Jiang Daya was not a pure Ming Dynasty person. He could skillfully switch Datong, Mandarin, and even Oirati words in his mouth. Moreover, as long as he did not look carefully, it would be difficult to find any slight differences between him and the Ming Dynasty person on his appearance.

His mother was from Oirat, while his father was from the Ming Dynasty.

Although he is still a "manger" in the eyes of others, this can also be understood why he can survive in a military town like Datong. After all, his father is from the Ming Dynasty. If everyone is inverted, his father is from the Oirat and his mother is from the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that he will die inexplicably before he grows up.

The classification of ethnic groups is sometimes very simple and sometimes very complicated. However, given that his father has won glory for the Ming Dynasty, even if he is looked down upon by others, he was accepted as a Ming Dynasty person.

However, what else can a mixed-race man who has no support to be a soldier or a businessman in the military town?

His only way to survive is to struggle at the bottom of society and live by stealing and cheating.

This is somewhat similar to Xu Bai's previous experience, but compared with Xu Bai's situation, it is a very different story.

"I can tell at a glance that you are a noble person. There are not many people in our Datong Mansion who compare with you in this manner!" Jiang Daya obviously had a bad alcohol tolerance. After a few glasses, he spoke a little vaguely: "How old are you, you can do this. I am over 20 years old, and I am still half dead..."

As he was talking, he started to cry. Several Jinyi lieutenants outside looked back frequently and asked Xu Bai whether he would interfere with him with his eyes.

Xu Bai smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yang Qian, accompanied by Chen Tang, hurried towards this side.

Yang Qian's popularity was obviously a little higher than Chen Tang. As soon as he entered the gate of the government jail, someone recognized him, and the prison guards in the jail immediately followed a group of people behind him.

"Mr. Xu will make fun of suffering..."

When Yang Qian saw Xu Bai, he couldn't help laughing. Xu Bai looked at the food in front of him and bowed to the prisoners with a smile: "Please, please clean up, brothers, I'll say a few words to Brother Yang!"

He said this, and a group of people rushed in and cleaned the cell. Then, including the Jinyiwei, everyone retreated far away, for fear of hearing what the two of them were talking - except for Jiang Daya, who was a little dizzy on one side.

"What can I do for Lord Xu?"

Yang Qian looked at Xu Bai seriously: "I may not be able to get you out first. When Han Yong was determined, he would not even buy my father's face, let alone me!"

"Is the Oirat soldiers coming?" Xu Bai asked with a smile.

"It's nothing strange to come every year!" Yang Qian replied: "I just asked Chen Qianhu that Lord Xu's charge was a collusion with the Oirats. You won't still be thinking about this matter!"

"I colluded with the Oirats. Do you believe this?" Xu Bai looked at him and asked seriously.

"It's hard to say, believe it, or believe it!" Yang Qian thought for a while and replied honestly: "Mr. Xu, you should not have the motivation to collude with the Oirat people. However, humans are very strange. Sometimes things that harm others and don't benefit themselves will be done. My relationship with Mr. Xu is not very deep. I really don't know what kind of person Mr. Xu is!"

"The Oirats outside are not my collusion!" Xu Bai pondered for a moment, "The more those Oirats die, I'm happier!"

"Those outside are not colluding with you!" Yang Qian smiled: "This is a bit interesting. Can I listen to it the other way around. The Oirats colluded with by Lord Xu are another group of Oirats, but they are not outside the city!"

"It's okay to say that!" Xu Bai said frankly: "Your father doesn't know about this, nor does Han Yong know about it. King Dai may have guessed it, but he can't be sure!"

"Stop talking!" Yang Qian's face turned cold: "In my opinion, only the dead Oirats are good Oirats, and there is no difference between the others!"

"If the Oirats I have been in contact with do not obey the orders of the Oirat Prince Court, nor do they intend to be enemies with the Ming Dynasty. Even when possible, they can restrain the Oirat Prince Court and help me with the Ming Dynasty?" Xu Bai said slowly: "A such Oirat people can use the Oirat people even if they are not good Oirat people!"
