Duan Laosan felt secretly worried about the assassination of Feng Ziying in Xuanfu Town.
As a descendant of the Duan family, he thinks a little deeper.
Feng Duanyi is already the undisputed overlord of the wealthy families in Datong, but there are still many people who are dissatisfied, or who want to replace him, such as the Ma family and the Ma family.
Needless to say, the Ma family should not be underestimated. The Ma family in Yuzhou was also born in martial arts. The three sons Ma Fang, Ma Dong, Ma Chun and Ma Lin are all loyal, brave and brave people.
Now Feng Ziying suddenly rose from the military ranks to become a civil servant, and also became the imperial envoy to patrol Shaanxi.
Although he is the governor of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Shaanxi have always been closely connected, and because the three towns of Sanbian and Four Towns and the three towns of Xuanda are facing the Mongolian threat, they interact frequently. It is common for generals to exchange posts, so as the concurrent minister of the Ministry of War and
Feng Ziying, who served as the Imperial Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, naturally had a certain influence on Shanxi.
The Feng and Duan families are naturally very happy about Feng Ziying's rising status, but it is inevitable that many people are not willing to see this situation.
This attack on Feng Ziying at Sandaoling between Xuanfu Town and Datong Town was indeed something Duan Laosan had never thought of.
He thought that this journey should be peaceful and uneventful. There were almost continuous forts and towns along the route. Even though it was a mountain road, the soldiers and horses in the army were also regular kings. Plus Feng Ziying's bodyguards and horses, ordinary horse bandits and bandits were there.
How many people dare to stroke a tiger's beard?
But he didn't expect that such a thing would happen, and it was only a short distance away from the jurisdiction of Datong Town. This had to make him think more.
Maybe there are still some blind people on the border between Shanxi and Shaanxi who don’t want Feng Ziying to patrol Shaanxi?
His thoughts kept changing, but Duan Laosan's expression remained unchanged: "The mess over there in Xuan Mansion doesn't have a general soldier so far, so I won't talk about it, but if this kind of thing happens again in our Datong Town boundary, just
I'm afraid that Mr. Yang is not to blame. If it happens on our territory, the commander-in-chief may want to take action on you and me."
Zhao Er is also very cool.
This is true. The leaderless people in Xuanfu can be blamed, but Yang Yuan in Datong cannot be blamed. If something goes wrong, he must find a scapegoat, but he cannot let anything happen in his own territory.
"My Yongjia Fort is only such a big place. If Mr. Feng wants to leave, we, Mr. Zhao, will personally lead a group of brothers to send him out of the realm. I don't believe there is anyone in this realm who dares to seek death." Zhao Er
He said it casually, but he was serious in his heart.
The imperial envoy governor holds the titles of Minister of War and Imperial Censor. He cannot move other generals except for generals at the level of general and deputy general. He has the right to directly deprive military power of generals such as generals and guerrillas.
Even officials at the level of the Chief and Deputy Chief of Soldiers have the same right to impeach, but they have to obtain the approval of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, after he is impeached and before the Metropolitan Procuratorate makes a decision, if he is the Chief Soldier or the Deputy Chief of Soldiers, he will be impeached.
If someone is impeached but refuses to withdraw from office, and if he is found guilty afterwards, he will be punished with an additional penalty, which can be described as overwhelming power.
Of course, this place belongs to Datong Town, and the governor of Shaanxi Province cannot come here, but no one wants to offend such an outstanding person.
"Haha, there must be no problem in doing this. Maybe the Commander-in-Chief will praise you for your prudent work." Duan Laosan chuckled, "Let's go, I have to pay a visit to Mr. Feng, who is my cousin.
I don’t know if people still remember me as a distant relative.”
The group of people entered the castle.
Feng Ziying and her group had just gotten up and washed up.
After finally entering Yonga Castle, it was natural to take a good rest.
This fort is much smaller than Jimingyi, and unlike Jimingyi, it does not have various shops inside. It is a purely military fort. In addition to the garrison, there is only a small inn that only receives officials, generals and envoys. There is no
There are a lot of people waiting, and some shops and houses are outside the fort.
After the torment and fright of the first night, the female family members also need to take a rest. Unlike modern times, when traveling thousands of miles, it is easy to get sick. Feng Ziying also pays attention to this aspect.
In addition, Wu Yaoqing and the others also wanted to interrogate the captured prisoners, so they simply stayed at Yongjia Fort for one day.
"Who?" Yuchuan'er was wiping and washing Feng Ziying's face. Next to him, Ping'er was dressing Feng Ziying. When Qingwen came to report, Feng Ziying was a little surprised: "Your surname is Duan?"
"Well, they say they are from Datong Mansion, my wife's relatives." Qingwen added: "I see that Zhao Caoshou, who came to visit me yesterday, is accompanying me."
Yonga Fort is a small fort, and the officers who guard it have a moral character. They have a slightly lower status than the garrison, but they can still be regarded as independent.
Yesterday, Zhao Shanxing and Zhao Caoshou came to visit him. Of course, Feng Ziying would not treat him coldly. It was just that they had no friendship, so he could only say a few polite words.
Feng Ziying thought for a while, if her uncle sent her here, she would have to meet him.
But Feng Ziying also knew that the Duan family on her maternal uncle's side was a large clan in Datong. The Duan family had hundreds or thousands of people at least. From Hunyuan to Datong Prefecture, it was divided into several branches and branches, which were countless.
.
But even counting my grandfather's generation, there are quite a few.
For example, my mother has three older brothers and one younger brother. She has at least ten or twenty cousins. Counting all of them together, I have at least a large number of cousins.
For example, Duan Xigui is not a full cousin, but just a cousin from the next room. However, over the years, this relationship has far surpassed these full cousins.
In comparison, the Feng family is really thin. There are also Feng children in Datong, but they are all distant relatives who came from Linqing.
Relying on the relationship between his father and his previous uncle and his second uncle who served as commander-in-chief of the army in Datong, many of the Feng Duan family's children also joined the army, but in terms of success, not many of them were successful.
Of course, the imperial court would not allow such a kind of family-style children to expand in a military town. If you really have the ability, go out of the town to prove it.
However, ordinary middle and low-level military attachés do not have so many particularities and taboos. In fighting tigers, brothers are brothers, and father and son are soldiers in battle. This principle is universal everywhere, so for officers below the garrison level, the children of the Feng and Duan families are still the same.
Quite a few.
But in terms of defense, such as guerrilla and general generals, there are almost no intermediate generals, or they have to go out of town to serve.
The time when Feng Ziying lived in Datong was already many years ago when he was a child, and his impressions are already a little blurry. There are few children in the Feng family and many children in the Duan family. He still has some impressions, but there are relatively few people who are close to him in age and are familiar with him.
Most of the Duan family and his peers are older than him, ranging from one to twenty years older to several years older.
There are only a few that I can remember now. Feng Ziying shook her head. She knew it after meeting her. It was normal for people from the Duan family to come. After all, she was the legitimate son of the Feng family. Now she was in a high position of authority. She was responsible for both emotions and justice.
It's time to come privately.
He asked Ping'er to arrange for the two guests to wait in the flower hall in the outer courtyard. Feng Ziying took some time to wash up before going out.
The one with a fierce look on his face must be a member of the Duan family. Duan Xichang must be of the same generation as him. His name is somewhat familiar, but his face has no recollection.
"I have met the governor." Duan Xichang, also known as Duan Laosan, and Zhao Shanxing stood up and saluted at the same time.
The governor is not just a civil servant. He is also a minister of the Ministry of War. He is also in charge of the military. He is in charge of the army and in charge of the people. This is also the reason why the status of the governor and governor is unusual. It is far beyond the ordinary envoys and inspectors.
This is why the imperial court has always been very cautious in appointing governors and governors.
"No courtesy, please sit down." Feng Ziying raised her head casually, then glanced at Duan Xichang, "Master Duan is from Datong, could he be a relative of my maternal uncle?"
Duan Xichang then nodded with a smile: "General, I met you ten years ago, but you were still young at that time..."
After saying this, they naturally became close to each other. Only then did Zhao Shanxing confirm that this guy was really a relative and not pretending to be a relative.
After a few brief exchanges, Feng Ziying's attitude became much more friendly, and Duan Xichang felt relieved.
Although the governor, who was considered a younger cousin, had a gentle face, he carried himself with the demeanor of an imperial envoy. His tone of voice was not high, but every word was like nails piercing wood, leaving no room for doubt.
"The princes in the clan heard that you were going to pass through Datong, so they specially arranged for the general to come and stand in front of you to welcome you to Datong. However, the general heard that Zhao Caoxing said that your party was attacked in Sandaoling, so he was deeply shocked and didn't know.
If there is any place where our service is needed, please give me your instructions."
Duan Xichang was still very cautious in his words, after all, he and Feng Ziying were not very familiar with each other yet.
In fact, many people in the Duan family are familiar with Feng Tang now, but there are really not many people who are familiar with Feng Ziying, because Feng Ziying was too young at that time, only a ten-year-old child, who would pay attention to him?
Just a few words of praise, and then all the attention was focused on Feng Tang and his wife.
Feng Ziying pondered for a moment and then said: "It's not necessary for now, my people will take care of it, but when we get to Datong, I will negotiate with Datong Mansion to see what to do."
Datong Prefecture and Datong Town are two different systems.
Datong Prefecture governs Shuozhou, Mayi, Yingzhou, Shanyin, Huairen, Hunyuan Prefecture, Guangling, Lingqiu, Guangchang, and Yuzhou counties, while Datong Town governs Wei and Fort in the northern part of Datong Prefecture.
Many of these military units are also distributed in various states and counties. They are intertwined, but they are self-contained and go their own way. However, they are inseparable in daily affairs and often interact with each other.
Cui Chengxiu, the prefect of Datong, and Feng Ziying knew it, because he was from Jizhou, Shuntian Prefecture. He was a Jinshi in the 36th year of Yuanxi Dynasty. He was also a well-known scholar in Shuntian Prefecture. He was promoted to the prefect of Datong at the beginning of last year. Feng Ziying knew that this person should be through
I contacted Master Qi through various channels and also contacted Wang Yongguang.
However, I know this person not because of these reasons, but because his name was so famous in his previous life. He was the leader of the five tigers of the eunuch party in the late Ming Dynasty.
