On the official road leading to Datong and Xuanfu, you can see endless streams of grain transport vehicles. At the same time, a batch of goods transported from the capital arrived in Datong. The autumn wind was particularly cold in the north, and the towering Datong City in the distance was
The outline appears.
Datong City established a general system in the eighth year of Zhengde, and ordered a general to supervise all military and horses. At its peak, the maximum number of troops in Datong City was 135, with 51,654 war horses. The Datong Army was in the world, which was not a false statement.
In addition, there is a Shenji Army in the border town, with 9,000 personnel, specializing in defeating the enemy with muskets and cannons. Due to the special nature of this army and horse, the army is directly under the control of the Datong Army Supervisor.
In Datong City, there are often three people who decide, one is the prefect of Datong Prefecture, the other is the general of Datong, and the other is the general of Datong, and naturally, the military supervisor.
The prefect is in charge of civil affairs, generals, and eunuchs. This three-legged pattern originally meant to supervise each other, but now it has changed its taste. After all, the rank of the prefect is too low, and there is really not much civil affairs in Datong Prefecture, and the generals often
They are all second-rank military officers, and they are all ranked fourth- or fifth in their official rank. On the other hand, the generals of the border town hold great power, so in this place, the generals are often more in keeping their word than the prefect.
.
The military supervisor is different. The military supervisor comes from the palace. The selection of military officers may have nothing to do with civil servants. At most, the Ministry of Personnel will give you a merit test, but eunuchs are particularly important to a military officer.
To put it bluntly, because eunuchs can go directly to Tianting, the military supervisor is the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, and the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison is the emperor.
Therefore, Sun Jianjun, Datong, had a unique position, and both the local prefect and the general officer had to rely on him.
At this time, an uninvited guest came to Sun Jianjun's mansion.
Although the person who came was wearing a cloth clothes and did not look like he had no official rank, he was quite arrogant. However, when Sun Jianjun heard that the person was coming, he came out to greet him quickly, and he almost felt his knees weak and he fell to the ground.
"Why is Mr. Yang coming now? Now the war is fierce... I wonder if the ancestor Huang is doing well recently? I sent some long white ginseng a few days ago. I wonder if the ancestor Huang has used it."
Mr. Yang is named Yang Kong, and he is the head of Huang Jin's mansion. Many of Huang Jin's affairs outside the palace were arranged by him. He didn't have to be polite in front of Sun Jianjun, but just said lightly:
"Eunuch Huang is fine, but your ginseng is not used."
When Sun Jianjun heard this, he became alert and said, "This... Is this... Is it something that Huang Zuzong is unhappy about? Ah... this...
I would also like to ask Mr. Yang for advice. What is our thoughts about Eunuch Huang? That is the light of day to understand..."
Mr. Yang smiled coldly and said, "You think you are in Datong. You don't know about the matter of Huang Zun. You relied on the reputation of Huang Zun and caused trouble everywhere. A few days ago, you even handled a general without authorization. Is it true that you have done this?
Yes, you have eaten a lot of empty salary from Datong, right?”
Sun Jianjun thought that he had less filial piety in his usual manner, which caused Eunuch Huang's unhappiness. He was so scared that he was sweating profusely that he wanted to deal with him. He moved his fingers and could let him go back to the palace obediently and return to the palace. What do you think?
If you pinch it to death, you can pinch it to death.
The military supervisor is in the open, but for the people in the palace, that is a bad life. This is why the emperor set up a military supervisor. Because the rights of the eunuchs always come from the palace, you will be born and let you die.
Just die.
Sun Jianjun smiled bitterly and said, "This... I deserve to die."
Yang Kong was too lazy to pay attention to him and said, "Find a quiet place and have something to say to you."
Sun Jianjun was nervous and quickly responded, and asked someone to clean up the study room and close the doors and windows before asking carefully: "Has I done something I shouldn't do? Mr. Yang, can you tell me.
Yang Kongzhong stretched and said, "No, it's just that, Eunuch Huang has something to do, but I don't know if you Sun Hong can do it. Eunuch Huang's original words are, you bastard always love you
Lazy, if you can't do anything this time, I'm afraid you'll be invited back to the palace."
Sun Jianjun immediately cheered up: "I'm all my life belonging to the ancestor Huang. If he has any explanation, even if it's a sea of swords and fire, I won't frown."
Yang Kong smiled at him and said, "That's right, Eunuch Huang, I've been free recently and have accumulated a batch of firearms in my hand. Why, why have your face changed?"
Sun Jianjun's face did change. Hoarding firearms is not a trivial matter, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a rebellion.
Yang Kong said: "Actually, this is nothing. The firearm is produced by the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau. You always know that although it is stipulated that firearms are not allowed to be sold to private individuals, they can be bought in the name of Warriors Camp. But now,
The Warriors Camp is not needed either. Isn’t it just about to send troops to fight now? I think it’s used to come to Xuanfu. Do you understand what Eunuch Huang meant? Last month, didn’t the court allocate a batch of silver?
Specially used for shopping...
Sun Jianjun immediately understood, and then his face became embarrassed. In fact, the money was indeed allocated, but after paying it, he used it for other purposes, but he didn't say he wanted to buy a firearm. After all, all the soldiers from Datong were from all walks of life.
Firearms are all produced by the court and supplied by the court. What else do the court need to purchase from outside? Isn’t this a waste of money?
But Eunuch Huang’s meaning is very clear. You must buy his firearms. If you don’t buy them, you have to buy them. If you don’t buy them, you won’t give Eunuch Huang face. If you don’t have sex, your surname is Sun will be over.!
Sun Jianjun took a deep breath: "This..."
Yang Kong said lightly: "Did you say this? I brought it. It seems that Sun Jianjun is very embarrassed. If Sun Jianjun is embarrassed, it is okay not to buy it. What about the things? I have already shipped it. At worst, I will take it back.
It doesn't matter."
That being said, Sun Jianjun didn't believe it, and it didn't matter if he didn't buy it. He showed hesitation: "If you want to buy, you must always have a name. Shenjijun's firearms are sufficient unless......"
A trace of coldness flashed through his eyes.
Yang Kong stood up and said, "Don't tell me these things, you can do it yourself. I mean, I'm taking it. Yang will temporarily live in an inn opposite you. Think about it yourself.
.”
Sun Jianjun looked at him with a serious expression, and naturally knew what Yang Kong meant.
What you want to do is not his business, but you have to do this well. If something goes wrong in the future, you will take the blame.
Sun Jianjun nodded in a daze, but did not try to keep him. He just said, "Mr. Yang walks slowly."
After seeing off Yang Kong, Sun Jianjun's face became ferocious, and he immediately called a confidant: "The warehouse of Shenji Camp changed to another group of guards, and let Zhang Bangzi lead the team to guard. And, tonight..."
That night, a loud noise almost resounded throughout Datong City. In Datong City, it almost caused riots. Over the Shenjiying warehouse, huge flames rose in the night sky.
Yang Kong, who was staying in the inn, opened the window and looked in the direction of the huge flame, shaking a fan in his hand and smiling on his face.
Many things that seem to be impossible are actually just a simple task in the eyes of some people.
Many excuses that seem to have no excuses can be found as long as you are interested and have a finger hooked.
Yang Kong's face was very calm, very unremarkable, as if the huge flames in front of him were fireworks set off during the festival.
He shook the fan and told the people in the room to take care of him: "Eunuch Sun did things very well. He went back to report to Eunuch Huang and said that Eunuch Sun was lucky to have fulfilled his fate, which just cured Eunuch Huang's heart disease."
"yes."
Someone left the inn and disappeared into the night.
The next morning, the prefect of Datong and the generals arrived one after another, Sun Jianjun was furious, and at this time, the guerrilla general Zhang Bang was also tied up. At this time, Zhang Bang had no idea what was going on, but knew that he was responsible for the guard.
The warehouse was blown up as soon as it was said to be blown up, and then it was taken away, tied up and beaten up. Now it is dying.
"Dog thing, our family polites you and asks you to guard the warehouse. Do you know that the warehouse has gunpowder and firearms, and there must be no open fire. As a result, something happened that night. OK, very good, you
Dog, if our family doesn’t do you anymore, how can we explain to the court and how to be able to keep the emperor? At this critical moment, if you have caused such a big mess in our family, do you still want to live?"
Zhang Bang was covered in blood and had already lost his teeth. He just crawled on the ground. Under him, the red blood was flowing in the dock.
"Come on!" Sun Jianjun smiled coldly, and two words popped out from his teeth: "Beat to death!"
After cooking Zhang Bang, Sun Jianjun's eyes fell on the Datong Prefecture and the general officer. He looked at the general officer, and a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes. He slowly said: "General Wang, this surname is Zhang."
, It was your personal soldiers who started their careers, and you have always praised him. His guerrillas are also your support. When our family sees you praise him like this, they have entrusted him with important tasks. But now, he has made such a big mess, you
Let’s talk about it, what should we do?"
General Wang was already worried. Zhang Bang was indeed promoted by him. Usually, Zhang Sunbang said a lot of good things about him. Now when he was sending troops, he had such a big accident. Sun Jianjun is now attacking him. If so
Finally, can he still survive if he takes the blame on him?
General Wang quickly said with a bitter face: "Eunuch Sun, the last general is blind. Please ask Eunuch Sun to have a mercy."
"Hao Huo?" Sun Jianjun sat down slowly, raised his orchid finger, opened the tea cover, and said slowly: "The most urgent task at the moment is, on the one hand, you must explain the matter to the court clearly. How to explain it, it is your General Wang who is the one who is Wang.
What’s wrong, in addition to this, the Shenji Army is a toothless tiger without firearms. This is not true. But now, it’s not enough to ask for supplies from the court. The only way is to order a batch of firearms immediately, otherwise...
... Without the Shenji Army, it is not safe to send troops to Datong."
"Buy a firearm, just..."
Sun Jianjun said, "This matter is a must-have to come forward. You don't have to worry about purchasing agents, it's just this money..." He looked at the prefect and General Wang, with his face showing
A little sarcastic smile.
"This is easy to talk about." General Wang didn't dare to hesitate. What he was most worried about now was that Sun Jianjun asked him to take the blame. The money matter was easy to talk about, and at most it would be misappropriated.
But the prefect wanted to say something, but just frowned. After all, he didn't have the final say about the matter here.
