Chapter 211 Datong Spring

The spring breeze did not pass through Yumen Pass, and the spring in Datong came late. Yang Xin had no other way to face the Mongolians outside the city, so he had to defend himself. After all, the Mongolians had not yet broken up with the Ming Dynasty. It was fake to graze here, but it was true that they were ready to move. The youngest son, who now proclaimed himself the Grand Tuotuobuhua Khan, became the Khan King. After all, the country was unstable, and they did not have that great strength to invade the Ming Dynasty. Datong has always been the front line... Yang Xin was highly rewarded by the court, so he was naturally willing, but the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also a willful master. The emergency secret letter from the commander of the Jinyiwei, Yuan Bin, came to Yang Xin's hands, and Yang Xin was sweating when he visited him.

"Ball..." Yang Xin's swear words couldn't help but say, "You are too brave... You are like your father and your son."

This general is a generous general, and the letter is burned and cannot be known. When will this young master Zhu come? He has not explained clearly what identity he has come here.

Fortunately, strangers who come to the capital can always pay attention to it. The Datong area was a border and was once prosperous, but in recent years due to unstable borders, there have been few merchants since the trade was closed, but the government did not allow transactions, and private matters are hard to say.

This matter cannot be said. With time, I have said that I have been a saint. Then the emperor should be able to recognize it. Yang Xin stood at the top of the city and looked east. I was afraid that he would be uneasy along the way.

From sunrise to sunset, there are really not a large number of people. Think about it, the emperor also has to bring a lot of followers this time.

"Close the city gate..." Yang Xin said. He walked down the city tower, but saw the soldiers guarding the city entangled with a child. The child looked pretty and ten years old.

"Sir General... My young master wants to visit you..." the child said.

"I'm not the general..." Yang Xin said, "Child, you admit it wrong..." Yang Xin had no intention of entangling this child. The emperor had not arrived yet. This was a bad omen. Outside Datong City was the Mongolian tent... If the little emperor was very playful, I'm afraid that the auxiliary Shanglu would become the second Yu Qian... The Ming Dynasty would be hurt again. The child stared at him and came up and grabbed Yang Xin's clothes firmly.

What kind of dragging out? Yang Xin wanted to get rid of the child, but he only felt that the child seemed to have used the strength to feed himself. If he used too much, he would inevitably hurt him.

"Xiao Wang... is back! Don't be rude." said a young man with a Jiangnan accent. He was dressed as a scholar, wearing a long blue gown, a fox fur cloak, and a family member. He was surrounded by a thick blue cloth dress, holding a piano, and carrying a box... elegant but not vulgar... This person is not the emperor, Yang Xin was disappointed and looked at the setting sun: "Close the city gate quickly."

A man dressed as a servant next to the young man stepped forward and grabbed the child: "Yang Xin, look at me!"

Yang Xin was about to wave his hand, but he saw the face under the man's hat. He was shocked, but he saw the young man with a Jiangnan accent coming forward and said, "Brother Yang... His father Shang Lu is in the court and is an official... Let me come to the border to follow my brother to experience it."

"You can... know how to fight?"

"I have been reading this since I was a child, but I have also read military books... I want to follow you..."

"You are so brave, everyone in the border is martial... aren't you afraid of being arrested by the Mongolians outside the city?" Yang Xin said a little contemptuous, "Is it because my son brought these people to act for everyone?"

Yang Xin turned his head to the man wearing a hat, and the man whispered, "Stop when you see it's good!" He was dressed in a bodyguard and leaned on his body with a sword.

"Where did you learn art?" Yang Xin asked.

"Female family... Mr. Yang is sick, I almost forgot that there are female family members..." Mr. Shang said, "My mother is here too."

"Madam Shang?" Yang Xin was shocked. The car sitting by the city gate was actually a female family member. He... why did he get a group of such people? Moreover, although the Ming Dynasty did not have the position of prime minister, the Master Sui Sui actually asked his wife and children to come to the border, which was too risky.

"Hurry and find a place for us to live..." said Mr. Shang, "It should be safer and convenient for my mother to walk around."

That's his mother going to leave, I'm afraid it's still the same person... Yang Xin looked at his family wearing a hat holding a sword again, thinking that this emperor was really hard to serve. The house must be the best, and he had already prepared this yard.

There were indeed female relatives in the car. Yang Xin sent someone to protect the garden, and more than a dozen trustworthy families were missing to serve the food. The emperor brought not many people.

Yang Xin wanted to greet Master Shang as usual. Of course, what he wanted to meet was not the weak scholar from the south. The Tian family should have practiced both civil and military affairs, but now that day, the descendants of the family are not as good as the previous generation, and this lineage is not as prosperous as this.

"I want to go up to the city wall to observe the enemy..." The little emperor was in good spirits, but Yang Xin was in a hurry and could not be protected without anyone.

"Let him go!" said the woman in the curtain, "General, don't worry about anything, everything is destiny..."

"Mom..." said Mr. Shang, "Are you really afraid?"

"He just came to see Maorika...we can't control..."

"If the young master wants to see the Maori, I have a way. In fact, I can't see the Maori on the city wall... Then the Maori boy will definitely come on his own initiative when he knows that the young master comes."

Will Maori show up?

"I can't live for long..." said Mr. Shang, "My father has always been worried about my safety."

"No need to wait for a long time... The young master is so arrogant, then the Mongolian Grand Tutor will definitely be found. He has been in seclusion for several years. The Mongolians lack a lot of things..."

"Do you really want to do business with us?" Mr. Shang asked. It was his first time to come to the border. He looked at the servant holding the sword beside him and saw him nodding slightly.

Sure enough, guests came to the yard, and the guests also brought gifts. The one who came was a Mongolian businessman, a man dressed up in the future.

"Are you Huihui or a Mongolian?" asked Mr. Shang.

"I am just a businessman." said the visitor, "I just came to ask the young master to say a few good words in front of Lingzun... Business is difficult to do now, if the border can be opened..."

"I don't understand... but I can understand..." Mr. Shang didn't know if he was pretending to be confused.

The person who came was very happy and put down the gift...

"Why is this person giving me a gift?" Shang Liangchen was very surprised.

"Because you are the son of the prime minister." Zhu Jianshen said, "The Mongols don't seem to be fighting for a while...or he doesn't have the strength yet..."

"But they grazed on Datong West Road..."

"The bad situation in Mobei is harsh... but they shouldn't have come to grab the territory of the Ming Dynasty..." Zhu Jianshen said, "This Maori kid is ambitious. The three cavalry of Duowei have been taken down by him. I can't make any move for a while... I'm worried about internal and external troubles. I'm not here to see the scenery, but to see what Han Yong did in Datong?"

"Don't you believe in Han Yong?"

"You must be guarded against others..." Zhu Jianshen said, "You are different..."

What’s the difference… Shang Liangchen knew that it felt like accompanying the king was like accompanying the tiger, but he didn’t dare to disobey his parents’ instructions.
