Longmen Clinic is an important health clinic on Xuanfu Town North Road. Xuanfu Town North Road is divided into Shangbei Road and Xiabei Road, and Longmen Clinic is the core health clinic of Xiabei Road.
The military garrison where Longmen is located is a small garrison city located at the inner entrance of the Great Wall, named Chicheng. The entire acropolis was built on the high ground between the mountains, and more than 1,200 Ming border troops were stationed. It controlled the east
There are nearly thirty beacon towers on the side of the Great Wall from north to south, covering an area of nearly thirty miles.
To put it bluntly, Longmen Station is a garrison for soldiers and horses at the Great Wall Pass and Beacon Tower. The acropolis where it is located is a camp for stationing troops and storing supplies and food. The border guards rotate garrison here to monitor the enemy situation outside the Great Wall. Although here,
It is not the northernmost position of Xuanfu Town, but the easternmost position. But this is the border of the Ming Dynasty, and beyond the Great Wall is the territory of the Tatars.
As the sun set, when Zhu Houzhao and his party trudged along the mountain road, looking at the mountains ahead in the distance, everyone was exhausted and exhausted.
Horses were not allowed to ride on the roads between the mountains, so they walked all the way up the mountain. Even Zhu Houzhao, who was originally energetic, was sweating profusely and panting.
"Aren't we here yet? How far away is the Longmen station?" Zhu Houzhao asked, wiping his sweat.
"Your Majesty, according to the map, it's not far away. Are you tired, Your Majesty? Why don't you drink some water and rest before leaving?" Liu Jin's bones seemed to be falling apart, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted in comforting him.
Gu Dayong complained at the side: "Have the guards at Longmen Station lost their minds? Why didn't they send anyone to greet the emperor? And when we came all the way, they didn't even have a warning sentry. This is too careless.
.If we were Tatars, wouldn’t they even know we were around?”
"What Eunuch Gu said, this is within the territory of our Ming Dynasty. The troops stationed at Longmen are watching the Tatars outside the Great Wall. Do we still have to station heavy troops inside the territory to keep an eye on them?" Qiu Ju said with a smile.
Gu Dayong said: "It can't be a blind man, right? The Tatars may also infiltrate in and steal their escape route, right?"
As he was talking, suddenly a horn sounded loudly on the mountain in front of him. A big tree on the top of the mountain collapsed. The horns on the nearby hillside also sounded one after another, and the news trees fell one after another. In an instant, the whole valley was buzzing.
The sound echoed endlessly.
Everyone was shocked and realized that something was going on. Zhang Yanling loudly ordered the captain to get ready. The two hundred captains of Nanzhen Fusi drew their weapons from their sheaths and in a short period of time, they had already set up their formations and prepared their front and rear sides to meet the enemy.
Prepare. At this moment, the guards of the Han general drew their weapons in a panic and surrounded Zhu Houzhao and his entourage for protection.
Not long after, a group of people and horses rode up from the mountain pass ahead, galloping down the hillside. On such a steep mountain road, they actually rode like flying, coming at an extremely fast speed.
"What the hell are you doing? Didn't you send someone to report it?" Gu Dayong said angrily.
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said, "Don't worry, those are soldiers from the Ming Dynasty's border army. Didn't Eunuch Gu complain just now that they didn't know we were coming? Now that they have discovered us, why are they scolding us?"
Gu Dayong's face turned red and he said, "I'm afraid they'll scare the Holy Spirit and cause the earth to shake."
While he was talking, a group of cavalry came down the hillside at full speed. The first one was in his forties, with a dark and thin appearance, and a weathered face. He was wearing black armor and a black cloak, and he had a fierce aura about him.
The dozens of riders around him were all dark and thin, with messy beards and hair, but they all had solemn expressions and a cold temperament.
"Which guard station are you in charge of? This is an important defensive area of our Longmen Station. Do not break in. Please tell me your identity." Someone from the opposite side shouted loudly.
Liu Jin said angrily: "Bold, the emperor is here, don't be arrogant. Are you the troops stationed in Longmen? Why don't you come to pick him up?"
The leading general on the opposite side yelled and cursed: "You are so brave, you dare to pretend to be a charioteer. How could I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, appear in such a place? He must be a Tatar in disguise. Please report your identity and purpose quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
Liu Jin jumped up and cursed angrily. These people didn't believe that it was the emperor who came in person and sent someone to report it. They actually questioned his identity. Damn it.
Just as Liu Jin was about to scold him, Zhang Yanling waved his hand and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I'll go tell them. It's normal for them not to believe it. The Emperor's appearance here is so unexpected. If it were me, I wouldn't believe it either."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Okay, you go."
Zhang Yanling quickly ran to the front of the team, walked forward to a place thirty or forty steps away from the opponent, and shouted loudly: "Brothers in front, I am the Marquis of Jianchang in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yanling, the Fusi Town of Jinyiweinan Town. We are indeed escorts.
The Emperor is here to patrol the border. This is my belt, take it and have a look. The Emperor is here and will pick you up immediately after inspection. The Emperor has been walking for a day and is already very tired."
Zhang Yanling took off the iron plate with the name of Fusi and Zhenfu of Weinan Town on his waist, raised his hand and threw it over. The waist plate was caught by the opponent in mid-air and was immediately handed to the leading general. The man looked at it carefully and whispered.
After saying a few words, everyone immediately got off their horses and walked over quickly.
"Is this really the Marquis Zhang of Nanzhen Fusi Town?" the leading general asked, holding his waist badge.
"If it's fake, it's guaranteed. Zhang Yanling is not a famous person, so why should I pretend to be him? Besides, my waist badge cannot be faked. There are dark tiger stripes on the side of my Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi iron plaque. If you don't believe me, check it out.
Check it out." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
It was when the leading general saw the engraved tiger stripes that he realized that the badge was not fake. The one who came up to report was a Han general in Jinyiwei, and he also had a number plate. However, that kind of number plate is easy to forge, so it is not very difficult.
I believe it. What's more, the guy's words were arrogant and his attitude was arrogant. After asking him a few words, he actually cursed, so now he is tied up and thrown into a small dark room.
But now comparing the two, there seems to be no doubt.
"Is the emperor really here?" the leading general shouted in surprise.
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "How can this be false? Why don't you hurry up and pick up the driver?"
"But...what is the emperor doing here?" The general was confused.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "You can just ask the Emperor yourself. Don't wait any longer and hurry up."
The general nodded and followed Zhang Yanling with a dozen of his followers. They were stopped by Chen Shiyi and his captains at the outskirts, and asked them to remove their weapons. The dozen or so people seemed hesitant.
"How can you see the Emperor with a weapon? If you don't believe that the Emperor is here, we still don't believe in your identity." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
The man suddenly understood, and then ordered to hand over the weapon and follow Zhang Yanling to Zhu Houzhao. When he saw Zhu Houzhao standing in front of him, the leading general had no doubts. Zhu Houzhao was standing there, and his attire, demeanor and demeanor had already said it.
everything.
"Zhao Yongsheng, who is guarding Longmen, is late to pick me up. He deserves death." The man knelt down and kowtowed, shouting tremblingly.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the general in front of him and smiled: "Are you the garrison general here?"
"Exactly. A humble minister deserves death. He didn't know that the Holy Lord was coming and neglected the Emperor." Zhao Yongsheng's face was full of regret. As the chief guard of the border town fortress, he had to be extremely careful. When the Emperor came here, this matter was put aside.
No one will believe it.
"Hehehe, get up, what's wrong with you? Zhao Yongsheng, what a good name. It's a good sign. I should feel relieved that you are so vigilant. If I lead someone to touch your guard station, you won't feel safe.
You know, that is a crime of negligence. Get up quickly." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
Zhao Yongsheng thanked En and stood up. Liu Jin said: "General Zhao, hurry up and lead the way. Your Majesty is very tired. Hurry up and go to the station to rest."
