Although it has long been known that the geographical location of Yongping Mansion is extremely important, it is difficult for Feng Ziying to grasp the specific location and location.
Regarding Yongping Mansion, Feng Ziying relied on some memories brought from later generations. He only knew that this should be the area where Tangshan and Qinhuangdao merged into one. Of course he knew about Shanhaiguan, but it seemed that Qinhuangdao did not exist at this time, at least the one in later generations. The big coal port is still missing.
I originally thought that Fengrun and Zunhua also belonged to Yongping Prefecture. In my impression, they all belonged to Tangshan in later generations, but now they seem to belong to Shuntian Prefecture, so Feng Ziying also knew that Yongping Prefecture should be part of Tangshan except for the western part. Most of them are combined with Qinhuangdao.
Feng Ziying also had no idea where Kaiping Zhongtunwei was in later generations. He could only roughly estimate that it was in the Kaiping District of Tangshan in later generations. The specific location was not to mention that he had never been to Tangshan in later generations. You know, it is estimated that even the local young people in Tangshan would be completely ignorant if they really wanted to travel back to this era. The changes in the past four to five hundred years have been so great. The rivers have changed their courses and the mountains and forests have changed. It is really difficult to distinguish.
Of course, the underground resources will not change much. If there is coal, there will always be coal. If there is iron ore, there will still be iron ore. However, this cannot be moved away.
From the fact that several riders approached the market surrounding the acropolis where the garrison was located without anyone asking, Feng Ziying could understand that more than ten years had passed since the last Mongolian invasion, and people had slowly forgotten the dangers of the past. In addition, it is also located on the last level of the Great Wall defense line. Many people naturally feel that the first line of passes, Lucheng and the second line of Jianchang Camp can bring them a sense of security.
Several riders slowly approached the market. It was said to be a market, but in fact it was more like a small town, a town built around the Acropolis.
The Acropolis is a square shape, but there are only two gates, one in the east and one in the west. The post road can go directly into the Acropolis, or you can go around outside the Acropolis. However, looking at the scattered and messy houses, it seems that the caravans traveling in the past should I am willing to rest here.
Someone was already coming to greet me from afar, "Old customer, do you want to stay in a hotel? Gaoji Old Store, a thirty-year-old brand,..."
“My dear sir, are you taking a rest? Luji Restaurant, where you can enjoy the authentic taste of the capital,...”
…
A series of waiters who came to greet the guests gave Feng Ziying a different feeling than before.
In the past few years, except for one trip to Linqing City, I have gone straight to Xijiang to quell the rebellion. However, when I married Xijiang to quell the rebellion, I always followed the army. Naturally, someone took care of all the logistical support, but this time I was traveling incognito. When I go to take office, I naturally take a look at the sentiments of the people along the way.
Although this place belongs to Kaiping Zhongtunwei, in terms of administrative area, it belongs to Yongping Prefecture. It is only temporarily occupied and controlled by the military. Of course, this time may be longer and there is no end point.
But think about this huge Yongping Prefecture. It can reach the foot of Shanhaiguan in the north, close to Tianjin Sanwei and Hejian Prefecture in the south, faces the sea in the east, and is hundreds of miles away in the west.
In such a vast land, the population is only three to four hundred thousand, including all the family members of the garrison.
There are only tens of thousands of people in a county. This will be left to a larger Zhendian population in later generations.
“Uncle, do you think...?” Wu Yaoqing had already dismounted and took Feng Ziying’s rein.
“Well, let’s not be busy for now, find a place to make the tip, and I will go to the Acropolis later to have a look.” Feng Ziying looked around.
This is not actually a market, but it is not small in terms of scale. Especially the Zhendian market, which developed on its own, has no reasonable planning and appears to be extremely messy and disorderly. Even the several intersections are of different sizes.
First, carriages and mules and horses often mix together when passing by, creating a lively but chaotic situation.
It is still early in April, and although the bright sun is not too harsh, it still feels a bit scorching.
Third Sister You put on a bamboo hat early, and also hung up a curtain. This is supposed to be a style only for women, but these days, princes, grandsons, rich and aristocratic people are afraid that the sun will burn their skin, so some people also wear curtains, which is not the case.
Didn't attract much attention.
However, she is holding a sword scabbard in her hand which is quite eye-catching. It’s not that no one is carrying a sword and wielding a sword on the road, but the scabbard does not look like an ordinary thing. It is very ancient and does not look like an ordinary young master.
The fancy decoration looks more like a murder weapon.
Luji Restaurant is on the east corner of the first intersection. The store looks decent. Wu Yaoqing took one person to make arrangements first. Feng Ziying and Sanjie You got off their horses and followed slowly with Baoxiang.
Afterwards, the two Qiu Shui Sword Sect members were already carefully observing their surroundings.
Theoretically, there shouldn't be any accidental dangers in this kind of garrison location, but be careful. This is the first time for someone who is unfamiliar with the place. It's hard to say if there will be any accidents.
The sound of horse's hoofbeats came from behind, a little hastily.
Feng Ziying and You Sanjie were looking at the hall of Luji Restaurant. The group of knights had already galloped past among the people who were dodging around. There were several exclamations and the sound of debris falling to the ground, causing a burst of excitement.
confusion.
Just as Feng Ziying had time to turn her head, she heard a voice, "Huh?"
The sound of the cavalry's hooves suddenly stopped, and then there was a burst of horses' neighing. The person in the lead suddenly spurred the horse and took the reins, then quickly reversed back, and did not stop until he was in front of Feng Ziying.
Sanjie You was a little nervous and subconsciously clenched the scabbard of her sword, while the two disciples of the Qiu Shui Sword Sect next to her suddenly became terrified, holding their long swords ready to go.
At first, a man who looked like a general glanced at Third Sister You. Perhaps he thought that Third Sister You was a bit suspicious with her bamboo hat and curtain, or maybe he just wanted to find trouble. He pointed his horsewhip and said, "That man, take off the bamboo hat."
Come down!"
Feng Ziying and You Sanjie were both stunned. Could this guy still see what was wrong with You Sanjie dressing up as a woman?
Even if he is a man disguising himself as a woman, it is normal, and it should not be someone from your army who has to deal with it.
Third Sister You didn't care much about taking off the hat and curtain. After all, she went from Western Xinjiang to the capital and accompanied Feng Ziying to Yangzhou. She was used to being in public and was used to it. She didn't care as much as other ladies, but her status is different now.
She is Feng Ziying's concubine, so she must get Feng Ziying's permission.
Feng Ziying actually didn't mind that Sanjie You took off her hat. She would have to show up sooner or later anyway, and Sanjie You was used to this kind of behavior. However, he was very unhappy with the bossy behavior of this guy in front of him. But when he thought about it, this was
In other people's territory, a general flag can be considered a very good character.
"This military master, is there anything wrong?" Feng Ziying did not immediately respond to the other party's request, but asked calmly.
The strong man's face turned cold, and his right hand subconsciously reached for the narrow-edged knife at his waist. The two people beside Feng Ziying also felt nervous and subconsciously took a step closer.
The man glanced at the two of them with disdain and said disdainfully: "If you don't want to lose your head, put your hands down. Can you be faster than my men?"
There are already a few people who have bows and arrows in the one or twenty rides behind him, and they are eager to try, and several people sneer at the knife. It seems that some scenes are looking forward to some scenes.
Feng Ziying raised her hand to stop the actions of the two people beside her.
In this one-on-one fight, or even in a street fight in the city, the two Qiushui Sword Sect may be good players. These soldiers are no match, but these are ten or twenty knights. They only need to distance themselves a little to circle and force them.
A hard bow and crossbow can make you unable to eat and walk around.
"Commander, we have no intention of offending you, but we don't seem to have any taboos, right?" Feng Ziying really didn't understand that these guys were targeting her group. There were people coming and going, and the caravan was
There are many travelers, why are they targeting me?
The man who looked like the general flag curled his lips and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't take off your bamboo hat, don't blame me for being rude."
Feng Ziying really doesn't want to reveal her identity in public. This is the residence of Kaiping Zhongtun Guards. If she, a colleague of Yongping Mansion, doesn't have the blessing of her father's identity, I'm afraid it won't be very useful, but she can't wait now.
Feng Ziying was unwilling to play the role of daddy.
Nodding, Feng Ziying stared at the other party coldly, and Sanjie You calmly took off her bamboo hat. She had blue eyes, a high nose, plump lips and fair skin. The general manager was stunned and said with some suspicion: "Nv Hu? You are such a fool.
Where did it come from?”
Only then did Feng Ziying realize that the problem was with the horses. The horses he, Third Sister You, and Wu Yaoqing rode were slightly different from the horses of the others. The height, neck, hips, and legs were all obviously larger.
At first glance, it is a little different from the ordinary Mongolian horses in the North. To be precise, it has the blood of some horses from the Western Regions.
These horses were all brought back from Ganzhou by my father during his Western Expedition to suppress the rebellion. Many of them were fine horses presented by Mughal merchants there. I didn’t expect that after riding them out on this trip, they would still be ridden by this person.
I fell in love with this guy, he seems to have a good eye.
“We brought this back from Ganzhou.” Feng Ziying said calmly.
"Ganzhou?" The man in charge of the flag was even more curious. Not just anyone could ride this horse. He also came from Yulin and knew a little about the situation in Ganzhou. If he wasn't from a noble family, he wouldn't be able to ride this horse.
Waiting for the horse, "Then where are you going from Ganzhou? What are you doing?"
“I’m going to Yongping Mansion for business.” Feng Ziying replied calmly.
Hearing that it was business, the commander-in-chief's face changed slightly. He looked up and down, as if he wanted to get some clues from Feng Ziying's image. He stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me the official document!"
This is a bit too much. The official status of the official he took office is not something that the general banner can see, but Feng Ziying is not willing to quarrel with the other party over this. She frowned slightly and said: "My official documents are confidential and should not be circulated outside.
, if the military master must see it, how about going to the acropolis to see it?"
