Yang Zhenwei was extremely grateful for being promoted to the position by Chang Yu. Commander, this is a height that many people may not be able to reach in their lifetimes. Either they strive for military success in troubled times, or there are people in the government, and he, a small general without any backing, can
To reach this point, I relied on the support of my eunuch.
Of course, he also knew the intention of the great eunuch to promote him to the top and wipe out all Jiang Yu's influence in the Datong army! So he returned to Datong a few months ago and started a purge after taking office. His original colleagues either agreed with him or fought to the end.
While eliminating Jiang Yu's influence in the army and stabilizing his position, he also started to rectify Datong's military affairs.
He is self-aware. He is not as knowledgeable as the veteran generals such as Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong. If something goes wrong, someone will help mediate. He does not have much background. If he has any background, he once followed the young eunuch to guard Taiyuan Beishang and served as King Qin. That's all.
Because of human relationships, he must be careful in his words and actions and walk on thin ice. He must make some achievements to impress the young eunuch, so that his future can be stable and promising.
On the way back to Datong, Zhou Yuji also reminded him more than once: "It's hard-earned, cherish it!"
"Chang Yu is an upright man and likes others."
etc.
So Yang Zhenwei secretly vowed to change his mind.
What Yang Zhenwei was like before, you don't need to go into details to know the second part. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. How can he do things cleanly under Jiang Yu? But Chang Yu can forget all these things. Yang Zhenwei also vowed to start a new life. In the past few months, he has approved the personnel.
I checked and checked the accounts of military supplies, food and fodder, and arrested many people, beaten many people, and killed many people. Of course, I offended many people, but I achieved results. When I was really ready to take credit,
The news of Chang Yu's border patrol came, which really made him surprised, happy, and somewhat frightened, but more importantly, he was thankful.
On the way to the inn, Yang Zhenwei reported the actual amount of Datong troops and horses to Chang Yu. It was another shocking figure, but those were all matters during Jiang Yu's tenure and could not be traced to Yang Zhenwei: "All the military books and books are ready.
, the Governor can send someone to check again when he arrives in Datong.”
"You did a good job. You finally lived up to the Governor's wishes." Chang Yu praised, and Yang Zhenwei's face immediately became warmer and less nervous than before: "Did you hear that Vice General He is also here?"
Yang Zhenwei was startled, and then he realized: "I need to congratulate him properly."
"Don't rush to congratulate me, maybe it won't last three months." Chang Yu chuckled: "And you."
Yang Zhenwei panicked immediately: "I have committed something in my humble position, please ask the Governor to make it clear."
"That's not the case. You'll know He Chengxin when you see him later." As they were talking, they arrived at the inn. Shi Kefa and others had already gotten up and were having lunch. When they saw Chang Yu coming, they hurriedly got up to greet them. Chang Yu introduced Yang Zhenwei to everyone? Both parties.
All are surprised.
Shi Kefa and others did not expect that Yang Zhenwei would come out to welcome him two hundred miles away, and Yang Zhenwei did not expect that besides Shi Kefa, there would also be a group of officials from the Three Laws Division following him. It seems that this border patrol... is really not a joke. No wonder in Xuan Mansion
The town arrested and killed a large group of them, wondering in their hearts whether those people in Datong would also be in bad luck.
Yang Zhenwei and He Chengxin had a close friendship after traveling thousands of miles and fighting side by side. At this time, they talked a lot when they met. Did they finally understand what Chang Yu meant by the three-month limit? The two of them discussed how to join forces to eradicate banditry within their jurisdiction? Chang Yu
Listening nearby rarely interrupts.
The military system of the Ming Dynasty was a bit complicated. It was mainly composed of the guard system and the camp system. There was no clear distinction between the military ranks of the two systems. Who was older and who was younger and who was in charge of whom? The biggest person in the guard station was the commander, and the one below was the commander.
? Thousands of households? Hundreds of households? But the camp military system is the general soldier, deputy general, participating general in guerrilla, garrison, general...
But regardless of their guard system or battalion system, they all belong to the chief military officer of the town where they are located, and they are also within Chang Yu's inspection scope.
This is the Acropolis. The largest one is two thousand households. At this time, they are waiting outside the post station to listen to orders. They feel very uneasy. In addition to their immediate superiors, there are also the eunuchs of Dongchang and the Minister of the Ministry of War. It is impossible to say that they are not panicking.
Yes, who doesn’t have a ghost in their heart?
However, they could not get into Chang Yu's eyes at all. These two guards were under the jurisdiction of Datong Mansion. According to Yang Zhenwei, he had already checked it. If nothing unexpected happened, there was a problem, and the man had masturbated. If he wanted to investigate, he could directly bring him to trial.
The interrogation was a matter of the Third Law Department. Chang Yu did not interfere at all. After Shi Kefa had eaten, they went to the military camp for inspection. Then it was the same old routine again. Political Commissar Shi comforted him, and the eunuch continued to play dumb, saying the same thing: Kill, kill.
kill!
Then he taught me to sing military songs.
After all this trouble, it was almost evening and He Chengxin said goodbye. He originally wanted to escort Chang Yu to Datong, but Yang Zhenwei came to greet him and there was no need to continue going. In addition, Xuan Mansion still needed him to be in charge. After asking Chang Yu for instructions
Before leaving, Chang Yu paid him a thousand taels of silver out of his own pocket and distributed it to his subordinates. The silver was distributed at the Octopus Branch in Zhangjiakou. He Chengxin had 500 men in his entourage this time, and he really suffered a lot after being exposed to the wind and rain all the way.
But each person could get two taels of silver, which could cover more than half a year's salary. Everyone was very happy and felt that the suffering was worth it, and they were even more grateful to Chang Yu, the great eunuch.
Not long after He Chengxin left, Chang Yu and his party also broke camp and left Tianzhenwei towards Datong. When they arrived at Yanghewei (today's Yanggao County), sixty miles away, it was already dark. After everyone entered the city to eat and drink, Shi Kefa led a group of people.
Accompanied by Yang Zhenwei, the civil servants checked Yang Hewei overnight, while Chang Yu stayed at the inn and chatted with Zhu Cixiang, telling him to keep his mouth shut when he arrived in Datong. Zhu Cixiang also became slightly excited. This was after he left the palace.
It’s the first time I step into the domain of a feudal lord, and I finally get to meet my own lord!
But what if it's the same family? Ordinary people, there are a few close uncles of the same race, they hate each other's poverty, love their wealth, and wish that they would bring bad luck to each other for eight lifetimes, not to mention the royal family!
Royal affairs were originally more complicated and cold-blooded in ordinary families. There were many conflicts between fathers and sons, brothers and feuds, not to mention feuding between cousins. Lao Zhu gave birth to twenty-six sons in one breath, and divided various places into feudal states. For hundreds of years,
We are no longer close to each other, and we all wish that the main family would become extinct. Why should your family sit on the throne for hundreds of years if they are all born from a single son? What’s more, the throne of your fourth family is not that glorious.
The two of them were talking in the hall, and someone from outside came to report: Zhu Yixun, the eldest son of the Prince of Datong Dynasty, asked to see him!
Chang Yu and Zhu Cihong were both shocked.
It has been almost a year since Chang Yu traveled through time and he has met five or six princes, but the one who hates him the most is definitely Zhu Chuanji (Huo Qi), the acting king of Datong, because to the acting king, Chang Yu is just a prince.
He cheats people out of his money and cheats out his food, and then leaves with his mouth full of tricks. If you want, he will either cheat or threaten you. He is just a scoundrel.
But suddenly Prince Dai ran to Yang Hewei, a hundred miles away, in the middle of the night to ask for a meeting. What was he doing?
Debt collection?
Of course it's impossible, Chang Yu knew it was a courtesy.
And it must have been given by King Zhu Chuanji.
But if you hate the little eunuch so much, why do you send the prince to meet him hundreds of miles away?
Does Dai Wang have a m plot? Does he like to be ravaged by the little eunuch?
Of course not.
When profit is at stake, there are no permanent enemies.
What's more, Dai Wang and Chang Yu are not enemies. They just don't feel ashamed of Chang Yu, a scoundrel. But what if Chang Yu brings him huge benefits?
You can not only get benefits, but also hug the thigh of this great eunuch who is at the height of his power, kill two birds with one stone, why not!
The benefits are unprecedented.
Shanxi is rich in coal, but it has not been widely used at this time. Whether it is for daily cooking or for heating in winter, the rich and common people are still accustomed to using firewood and charcoal. Suddenly, the king of Dai received a request from someone who owed him money and food. The eunuch sent the news, mining, you mine and I sell.
This news made him a little confused and more hesitant. At this time, Zhu Shenxuan, the king of Jin in Shanxi, sent a detailed feasible plan to jointly start a mine.
Zhu Chuanji, the acting king, finally realized that the eunuch in Dongchang was not only good at fighting and deceiving people, but also good at doing business! If this thing could really be sold all over the country, it would really make a lot of money, but the eunuch might have deceived himself. But I would never lie to that boy Zhu Shenxuan.
The little eunuch was now extremely powerful and famous, so he couldn't be offended. Since he had given him a way to trade, all the food and salary he had borrowed had been invested in the current period. Zhu Chuanji decided to put aside the past and join forces with the King of Jin. The little eunuch line can become bigger and bigger and make a lot of money.
So when he learned that Chang Yu was coming to patrol the border, he made a big gesture and asked the prince to come and greet him.
