Chapter 20 Hedong slaves Hexi captives

The Mountain God Temple is quite large, but it is abandoned, and half of it has collapsed behind the temple.

There is only half of the statue of the mud god left, and I don’t know what it is worshipped.

People who are chariots and horses are familiar with this mountain temple, and I think they often rest here in the past.

The heavy rain forced the vehicles on the road to stop. Some chose to go to the mountain temple with the people who were riding in the carriage to hide from the rain, while others parked on the spot and hid in the carriage to shelter from the rain.

There were about forty or fifty people coming to the temple, and the largest number was the Wang family car shop where Liangchen was.

Everyone looked for their own place in the temple, standing or sitting, frowned and looking at the heavy rain outside.

I don’t know when the rain will fall, and whether the road is muddy after the rain, delaying the trip.

When the driver of Liangchen's car saw that the guests were wet, he called a companion, found some wood and branches in the temple, and raised a fire.

After the fire started to burn, many people rushed to bake their clothes.

Because of the inconvenience, the female guest could only silently endure the wetness on her body.

Although it was June, it was raining suddenly, and there was still coldness while it was cool and cool.

The girl who had made Xu Xianchun feel a little depressed by his heartless words now turned blue with cold. Her mother, Chen, held her in her arms, and someone next to her took out a hang from her bag and gave her to the two of them to keep the cold.

Liangchen's body was also wet, but he didn't want to go over and cook the fire because there were too many people.

Xu Xianchun has been standing at the door, and he is more anxious than others. There are still twelve days before the martial arts examination. If he can't arrive on the exam day, he will have to wait three years later.

If my family opposes this, if I miss it, I am afraid that there will be no chance in three years. However, the weather is not good, and it is not human. No matter how anxious Xu Xianchun is, he can only be patient and pray that the road ahead will not be blocked due to heavy rain.

From time to time, people came to the door to check the rain outside, and they all sighed.

When you go out, you are most afraid of wind and rain.

The rain was falling violently, and it would be impossible to stop for a while.

Gradually, everyone standing sat down.

There were no stools in the temple for everyone to sit on, so they all sat on the ground, and everyone chatted with each other to pass the time.

The fire-burning people also changed two batches. The manager of the carriage saw that the girl was still shaking in his mother's arms and was worried that he would not have a fever due to the cold, so he started to arrange and asked everyone to give up a seat to burn the fire for the two of them.

After moving her daughter to the fire, Chen thanked everyone. Someone saw that it was difficult for her mother and daughter, so he asked Chen what she did to go to the capital.

Chen was a little hesitant and didn't want to say anything. When the person asked, he was not good to ask again when he saw it, and he smiled and was about to walk aside to talk to his companions. At this time, the girl said, "Mom took me to the capital to find my father."

"Little girl, what's your father doing in the capital? What's his name? Maybe I know him." The man asked was a middle-aged man. Seeing the girl cute, he couldn't help but tease her.

"My father's name is Gao Qiqian, what do you do? I, I don't know..." The girl looked up at her mother, wanting her mother to tell her what her father did.

Chen's face became slightly hot, he lowered his head and whispered: "My husband does some small business in the capital."

"oh."

The middle-aged man nodded.

When the girl saw him nodded, she hurriedly asked, "Uncle, do you know my father?"

"Haha, I don't know." The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head. He didn't want to deceive the little girl.

The girl was a little disappointed, and Chen hurriedly held her in her arms and whispered in her ear. When the girl heard this, she immediately became happy again.

When the audience saw it, they all smiled knowingly.

Not far away, Wei Liangchen couldn't help laughing.

Rising high?

Interesting, interesting...

Liangchen recorded the appearance of the mother and son in his heart. I hope that the mother and daughter are looking for the big crotch of the Chongzhen period.

Seeing that the rain would not stop, the fat man took out the horse gall. Zhang Cha, who was obsessed with the idea of ​​turning the book, took the initiative to help pull people. Soon, the game started to play.

Liangchen was idle, so he wanted to go over and see how the fat man did his hands and feet, but a small voice came from his ear: "A bunch of rough people know how to play money." He turned his head and looked at it. The young man who was walking with Zhang Bing said this.

Liangchen is a little funny. What's wrong with playing cards? He's really meddling with other people's business with rats.

Not only Wei Liangchen, but Xu Xianchun also heard the young man speak. However, Xu Xianchun ignored it and didn't even look at the young man.

The young man spoke to Zhang Bing with his body on his back, but he did not notice that Wei Liangchen was looking at him.

Zhang Bing saw Liangchen watching them, and felt that the boy looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. But he had no impression, so he ignored him and smiled and said to the young man beside him: "What does other people do to you? Just read your book."

The young man nodded slightly, but did not take out the book to read it immediately. Instead, he took out a newspaper and pointed to the message above and said to Zhang Bing: "If Ji is in a hurry, he will help Ji, and if Liao is in a hurry, he will help Liao. The students thought that Liao Fu is quite visionary and feasible, so why wouldn't the court accept it?"

The dibao was a copy of the articles published in the Ming Dynasty that recorded military and policy matters. It was similar to newspapers from later generations, distributed layer by level and was under the supervision of the Department of the Ministry of War.

The government can buy the residences and newspapers by themselves to understand the great affairs of the world. Some places even arrange people to read the residences and newspapers on important traffic roads and places of the prosperous market so that the people can hear it.

The young man bought the mansion newspaper from his family from six houses in the county. However, the things recorded in the mansion newspaper are usually one month ago or two months ago, not instant information. In the Ming Dynasty, he could not do the same thing, and the world would know it on the same day.

Zhang Bing didn't know much when he was at home. After entering the palace, he competed with the ruthless people from Nei Shutang. He studied with others with great care and recognized a lot of words. The official documents of Baochao Company could be handled by himself, and of course he could understand the things in the newspaper.

After a rough look at the news the boy said, Zhang Bing nodded secretly. He had heard of this when he was in Beijing.

Last month, the governor of Liaodong Xiong Tingbi gave a tiaochen to the Minister of War Li Hualong, believing that the biggest enemy in Liaodong is the Jianzhou Jurchen. Tiaochen said, "It is the greatest trouble now. I am alone in Jiannu, and I will join Beiguan to open the Yuan, and the chiefs such as Zaisai and Nuantu are thrilling together, and the troubles in Hedong are even ten times higher than Hexi."

The so-called Hedong and Hexi are bounded by the Sancha River in Liaodong. There are slaves (Juchens) in Hedong, while there are enemys (Mongolia) in Hexi.

Xiong Tingbi reported to the court that the slaves in Hedong are now more serious than the enemy in Hexi. The Ming army is isolated in Liaoyang, Shenyang, Tieling and other places in Hedong, and it is difficult to echo each other. If something goes wrong in Hedong and Guangning garrisons rush to help, the Mongolian chiefs in Hexi will take advantage of the situation. Therefore, the court should set up about 10,000 elite troops in a suitable place in Hedong to respond to emergency response at any time.

If not, heavy troops should be stationed in Shanhaiguan as a mobile elite force shared by Jizhou Town and Liaodong Town.

Xiong Tingbi, as the governor of Liaodong, wrote to the court to his own good, but this Chen was not adopted by the Ministry of War because Xiong's plan cost too much, and it costs more than 300,000 taels of silver. Now, after three major treasurys, how can there be money for Xiong Tingbi to implement this plan?

Moreover, the Ministry of War did not agree with Xiong Tingbi's opinion. They thought that the slaves in Hedong were only a trivial matter, and the Jurchens attacked each other within themselves, which would be difficult to become a climate. As long as the court continued to balance them, they would be the Mongols in Hexi.

The Ministry of War suppressed this ban and did not take it seriously. The Chejia Department logged into the official newspaper as usual. In this way, the people in the world understood the matter, but their opinions were different.

Zhang Bing didn't expect that this young man who was going to study in the Imperial College in Beijing was still interested in border affairs. It was a bit funny. He didn't take the exam for a good juren, so he cared about what he did.

Just as I was about to say a few words to fool this young man, in the storm, several figures appeared in front of everyone.

Those figures were very eye-catching because they were the Jinyiwei who "holds an embroidered spring sword in his hand and wears a flying fish suit".
