Chapter 1567 inside and outside

Sun Jingting, Li Shenming, Kong Minxing and other Hutchison bosses stayed on the grassland and did not go south. The most important person around Zhang Han was the people in front of him. Not only did Yang Qiu come out to attract hatred, but Wang Changfu, Wang Yong and others also openly entered and left the castle, hoping to focus on him and others.

However, Zhang Han knew it was useless. When he returned to Xinpingbao, he not only had all kinds of people in the fort, including the Governor Xuanda and the Governor of Datong in Yanghe, the local military preparations and the Emperor Tianqi who were far away in the capital, including those cabinet ministers, noble eunuchs, and even the slightly more informed officials, gentry and people, they would focus on Xinpingbao and only focus on Zhang Han alone.

"The Internal Information Department has arranged more than 300 people in the fort..." Wang Yong said: "There are still some people in Datong, hoping to make up for the gap in the shortage of the Military Information Department."

The Internal Affairs Department is specifically for internal supervision, which is mainly based on internal supervision. It seems to have some overlapping powers and duties with the Military and Justice Department, but it is actually very clear.

"Is there any movement for the time being?"

"No." Yang Qiu replied: "Before leaving and returning to the fort, the imperial court has not sent any personnel to promulgate the imperial edicts, whether they are civil servants, lieutenants, or eunuchs. The personnel we arranged in the capital not only stare at the court, but also have dedicated people to stare at the capital to Datong. We try our best to grasp the whereabouts of those who come out of the capital. When we arrive at Zhangjiakou, we will divide them more in detail. When we go to Xinpingbao and Datong, we can almost determine the identity of each person and follow some people further.

Intelligence analysis. From the current perspective, the court released a Wang Ruhuai and stepped into Xinping Fort with 400 horses, in order to suppress Lai Tongxin. Yanghe soldiers were appointed as the backup Lu Xiangsheng, and immediately formed a Biao battalion after taking office. Fortunately, most of the soldiers of the Biao battalion were removed. Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng was not the kind of person who was unpropossessed. Those who were removed were asked to diversions and eat them, and there was no chance for people to make trouble. Then he asked the garrisons from each fort to recommend soldiers who dared to fight, and gathered people from all over the place again to Yanghe, and he personally chose the people..."

Zhang Han thought about the impression of Lu Xiangsheng in his mind, and felt that this historical celebrity was indeed extraordinary.

Although he has the power and money, he can quickly open up the situation, and he is fearless of the words and mutiny of the army, and acts resolutely and decisively while considering as much as possible to comfort people's hearts, and at the same time, he also does what he wants to do, his ability is indeed quite strong.

"Even if that's the case." Wang Changfu commented: "With the ability of the Ming border army, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to train a elite soldier to command Ruyi, and it would never be possible to do it within half a year to a year."

"Datong is also training troops." Yang Qiu continued: "Datong mainly trains troops in the governor Hong Chengchou, followed by Huang Degong, the general town, and the main camp. Due to sufficient money and food, food and money, he has been practicing for more than a month. He has been a small cattle for three days and a big cattle for five days. After continuing his post, he has seen it himself. The general camp and the Fubiao camp have a total of nearly 6,000 people. He is very loud when he is a good person, and the shouts are heard throughout Datong. Many Datong people say that they have not heard such a big noise for decades."

"Decades?" Zhang Han put down his bowl and shook his head and smiled: "Forty years ago, when Longwan was Long Wan, the general of Datong was Ma Fang, and he was still training troops. However, it was mainly his inner division and the main soldiers, with a maximum of thousands of people. Some generals also trained their inner divisions under his leadership. Every time Ma Fang entered the grassland, he would only lead thousands of cavalry at one time. Even so, it was already the limit of Ma Zong Town's troops. To be honest, the sound of soldiers and swords and horses from thousands of miles away were endless. It would have to be the case between Ren Xuan and Chenghua. At that time, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Datong Town were elite, otherwise they would not be able to withstand Yesen's attack... Well, that's fine. Our Hutchison was a great contribution to the revitalization of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, including Datong Town. "

Everyone laughed, and there was also a little bitterness in the smile of Wang Changfu, the old border army.

Datong heard the sound of military exercises again. According to Yang Qiu's report, the Ming Dynasty was still casting cannons. The Ming Dynasty strictly regulated firearms. Before Liao Town, no town could cast cannons by itself. Now, in addition to Liaoxi, in addition to the cast cannons in Ji Town, Xuanfu, and Datong have all started casting cannons.

"I know why the court did this, of course I know very well." Zhang Han looked at a few confidants and said seriously: "Until there is a reliable army, they will not think about moving my hands. So I came back with a group of guards. It seems dangerous, but in fact it is safer. With these soldiers in Xinpingbao, they are just a fool to try to move my hands..."

"Sir, what's next?" Yang Qiu said: "Do you want to call the Lancers closer?"

Before Zhang Han's return, the First Lancer Regiment brought Zhu Dayong from Qingcheng to the south, crossed Xiaoheihe River and Xiaohe Fort, and bypassed Jining Fort. These were the military forts built by Zhang Han and the Shang Army in the first year of their arrival on the grassland, and now they still have considerable strategic significance. Crossing these military forts, they were stationed less than a hundred miles away from the side wall.

In addition to the Lancer Regiment, there are two battalions of hunting cavalry, stationed outside the corresponding Xuanfu side wall and the Khukou.

This is used to harass the side walls when preparations are urgent, and generally speaking, I am afraid it is not available.

The senior military chief originally planned to place heavy troops outside Zijing Pass and Gubeikou, and once there was a need, they would go in directly. However, Zhang Han felt that if something really happened to him, he would definitely be in trouble, so it would be better not to make trouble to that extent.

In other words, just don’t give the court a chance to make a fool of themselves and make mistakes...

"Continue to stare at Hong Chengchou and Huang Degong, and also at Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji from Zhangjiakou Fort, and Fu Zonglong from Xuanfu Town." Zhang Han said to Yang Qiu: "If the court wants to launch, there may not be any big news in the capital. They are not so stupid. They secretly send a few unrelated people, or just send private messages in Tangmali of the court, and then several parties will do it together. What can the people you arrange in the capital discover? To target me, there will only be a decision today, Wei Zhongxian and a few confidant counselors and executions. We can only bribe the doorman chef at most in these people's families. It is not easy to get real and correct news..."

Yang Qiu nodded silently. He had been operating the intelligence network in the capital for many years. Many officials and even eunuchs and nobles and military officials have Hunting people at home. Wang Faxiang is very capable in doing things, and a lot of news from the capital can be conveyed back.

For example, before Lu Xiangsheng took office, he went to Huang Daozhou's house and met Huo Weihua.

Huo Weihua, Cui Chengxiu and others attended the meeting at Wei Zhongxian's residence and discussed it until very late.

Including the emperor's health has improved recently, which is much better than the state of coughing and asthma last winter. It may be due to the effect of recuperation for a summer.

I don’t know if the old disease will be severe after the beginning of winter. From now on, the emperor’s energy and physical condition are much stronger than before, and at least he doesn’t cough and wheeze every day.

The Imperial Hospital doesn’t have to publish a pulse case every once in a while, and the capital and the world are slightly calmer.

The emperor is too young and has no prince. Although there is a king, the king is still too young, and his temper and personality have not been settled. People are definitely willing to be in power for a longer period of time. Fortunately, the possibility of the emperor dying from a sudden illness does not exist. As for asthma and cough, it is probably because of weak fetus. It is normal for many such people to delay for more than ten or twenty years.

With the emperor's age and reign, it would probably be almost possible to solve Hutchison or Donglu for more than ten years. This is how many optimistic people think.

The apocalypse has indeed cheered up, and the number of summoned ministers has increased significantly recently.

Although it is still a credit eunuch party, and many ministers whom the emperor likes, including Sun Chengzong, cannot be restored, the party's color has become much weaker in the appointment of intermediate and lower-level officials. The ecliptics of Donglin's Zhouyi and Hanlin Kaifang are a clear sign, indicating that the emperor is not as disgusted with the Confucian ministers who came from Donglin as before.

In addition, there are the appointments of Xinjiang ministers such as Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou. Some of them are members of the Donglin Party, and some are not neutral factions who are completely not eunuch Party. The Liaodong Governor was Yuan Chonghuan. He was born in Donglin and had a good relationship with the eunuch Party. However, the court used him mainly because he had been in western Liaoning for a long time and had completely accepted the command of Yuan Manzi. Yuan's own qualifications and abilities were also worthy of it.

Western Liao and Jizhen were not enough to meet Xinpingbao, but Tianqi made continuous moves and sorted out all the civil and military officials around Xinpingbao. After Lu Xiangsheng and others took office, they reorganized the border battalions. The idea was quite obvious.

Perhaps the people in the court thought they were doing it quite secretly, but they didn't know that with the efforts of the Hutchison Military Information Department, many places were equally transparent. Zhang Han was cheating and playing games with the fog of war. The enemy's movements were clear, so he dared to enter Xinpingbao in a swaggering manner. If the enemy's situation was unknown, his "retreat" would be at most in Qingcheng area. Just make a gesture. If you can't win the trust, you can only consider safety first.

Everything is very clear now. If the court wants to take action, it must have soldiers. Three civil officials, Hong, Lu, and Fu, plus two military generals Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, may one day surround and kill from several places. There were originally a large number of Ming garrisons in Xinping Fort, and Zhang Han wanted to stay in the fort and wait for assistance, so it was indeed a good plan.

"My subordinates must keep a close eye on..." Yang Qiu said: "There are also people sent to the official road and the castles, and you can know immediately when there is any movement. In addition, you must focus on the officials who are sending money and grain. Once a large amount of money and grain occurs, it means you are about to take action."

"Great kindness!" Zhang Han praised: "Yang Qiu said very well, just do it like this. It is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Be careful in everything, and you don't have to get everything from the outside. If we do this, they are confused."

Wang Changfu stood up and said, "I'd better go to Lizhuang to organize military officials, left-behind soldiers, as well as military training departments, to conduct large-scale military training for the villagers, workers and miners in the workshop."

"Yes." Zhang Han nodded and said, "It's great to do this, and you can make the voice bigger, so that they can think that I rely on Li Zhuang."

Yang Qiu said: "Lu Xiangsheng and the others are not stupid. I suspect they will send Ye Bubu to the sidelines."

"Let them go out, but don't ask them to go too deep." Zhang Han said: "The propaganda can release some fake news, which means that Mobei is unstable. I was furious and ordered the army to go to Mobei to rebel... If you believe it or not, you just give them an excuse to relax the north."
