In recent years, the grain was transported to Tianjin, and the Tianjin Road first instructed the Tianjin Prefecture to collect the grain first, and then transfer it to the capital after the imperial court sent personnel to inspect and accept it.

However, the shipping of grain depends on the hyacinth. Before the grain was transported to Tianjin, the court sent personnel to inspect the grain. Tianjin Daoyingyu felt it was strange, but as soon as he received the official document, he quickly sent someone to invite the new Tianjin magistrate Shi Zanqing and Tianjin magistrate Yin Pei-chan to the Dao Office to discuss how to receive the imperial envoy who accepted the grain. Mobile::

Seeing the official document sent by the Military Affairs Office, Shi Zanqing couldn't believe it was true. He was deeply moved. Ying Yu actually asked with a smile: "Brother Sir, if I remember correctly, Han Xiufeng had acted as a Tongzhi on the south bank of Yongding River. You are also from the Yongding River Dock Office. You are a serious colleague with him, so you should have some friendship."

Shi Zanqing recovered and hurriedly said, "Sir, Xiaguan has indeed been a colleague of Han Shaoqing for a year, but Xiaguan's office was on the north bank of Yongding River, and his south bank office was located in the east of Gu'an City. It was a bit far away. He had only met several times in the Dao Office and had never really dealt with him."

"Then he is a person and his preferences, I should know more or less."

"As far as the officials know, Han Shaoqing is an upright person and an honest official. He does not like to welcome and send off, nor does he like to waste extravagance and make all the red tape."

All the officials who were sent by the emperor to inspect the grain were Shengjun Enlong. Yingyu did not dare to be careless about the reception, so naturally he did not believe nor did Shi Zanqing's words. After all, Shi Zanqing was an alien in the officialdom. He was busy attending courts and rarely socialize. The people outside called him "Shi Qingtian", but they were not in the same place with his colleagues. I really don't know how he, the prefect, was a prefect.

Thinking of this, Yingyu suddenly regretted discussing these things with Shi Zanqing because he couldn't discuss anything with someone like him.

The magistrate of Tianjin Yin Pei-chan was also good, but he could adapt to Shi Zanqing. Seeing that Yingyu wanted to speak, he hurriedly said: "Sir, from the official documents, the court not only sent Han Shaoqing to inspect the grain this time, but also ordered the Qianqing Gate guard Enjun to accompany him. The officials thought that how they received it before and how they still received it this time. As the saying goes, it is not a big deal for many people!"

"What I said is very true!" Yingyu nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and smiled, "Brother Sir, I know that you have a lot of official duties, so you won't worry about these things! Brother Yin, you have to pay more attention. You will be here in the next two days. You have to draft a charter as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, sir, I'll go back and arrange it now."

"Wait," Yingyu thought for a while, and then said, "No matter what, they are also imperial envoys. I don't know how to go to the Salt Administration. The transportation department and the town-tai yamen are not good. I quickly sent someone to inform you. When the two imperial envoys arrived, I asked them to come together to welcome the two imperial envoys."

"It's still the adults who think it through thoroughly."

"There is also a matter of expenses. How did the government departments share the distribution before, and how did they still share this time. If anyone is a petty family, he will tell me, and I will see who doesn't understand the rules."

"I understand, the lower official understands."

Every time I receive the imperial envoy who accepts grain, I can’t fight if I don’t have seven or eight thousand taels!

Shi Zan-kyung-zheng wondered if Han Xiufeng would just accept their hospitality and whether they would accept their money. Suddenly, footsteps came from outside.

As soon as the three of them turned around, they saw a guard wearing a yellow jacket strode in. The door of the Dao Bureau and the yamen runners dared not stop him, so they could only follow him from afar and dared not speak.

Yingyu was shocked. As soon as he stood up, he saw the guard showing his waist sign and looked around the three of them and asked, "Do you dare to ask which one is Yingyu?"

"I am."

"Sir Shi, you are here too, you are here just right."

Eun-jun recognized Shi Zanqing, greeted Shi Zanqing, then put away his waist sign and took out a secret decree from his sleeve: "Tianjin Daoyingyu, Tianjin Prime Minister Shi Zanqing received the decree, and the idle people avoided it."

Tianjin magistrate Yin Pei-chan was startled and hurriedly bowed and left the lobby, and rushed to the door guarding outside, and all the yamen runners were far away.

Eun-jun and Yingyu and Shi Zanqing knelt down, and read out the secret decree of the emperor's orders Han Xiufeng, the young minister of Taipu Temple, and he, the guard of the Ganqing Sect, to inspect the coastal defense. Then he put away the secret decree and helped the two of them up, saying apologetically as if they had changed their own words: "It scared you both. When you left the capital, the emperor repeatedly reminded you not to open the emperor, so this official and Lord Han could only come to inspect on the name of accepting grain."

Yingyu reacted and asked subconsciously: "Dare you ask Lord Eun-jun, where is Lord Han now?"

"Mr. Han doesn't want to disturb the place, and he doesn't want to bother you, so he divided his troops into two groups and ordered me to come over to say hello to you, and he went to Dagukou Fort."

"Mr. Han is planning to visit privately on a private basis!"

"It's not a question of a private visit on a ministry basis. I just want to see if the soldiers and soldiers in the Tai Yamen can fight."

Shi Zanqing thought that this was the Han Xiufeng I recognized, and couldn't help but ask, "I dare to ask Lord Enjun, did Lord Han tell me what should I do in Tianjin?"

"Mr. Han said that Tianjin's urban defense is also a coastal defense. Mr. Han planned to inspect the Dagukou Fort and then inspect Tianjin's urban defense. Please prepare quickly. In addition to the two, I will not be publicized. I will only inform the deputy commander of Shanhaiguan, Changlu Salt Administration, Changlu Salt Transportation Envoy and the General of Tianjin Town."

"Don't worry, sir, the subordinates must keep their mouths as tight as a bottle."

As soon as Shi Zanqing finished speaking, Yingyu asked anxiously: "Master Eun-jun, how can I ask Lord Han to come to inspect the city defense? What preparations should the subordinates need?"

Eun-jun couldn't believe that a Taoist priest would ask such a question, so he was too lazy to explain to him, so he simply said perfunctorily: "I am just following the order. I don't know what Lord Han wants to inspect. The emperor's order has been read out. Lord Han is waiting for the official at Dagukou. I will take a step first and meet in a few days."

Eun-jun left as soon as she said she wanted to stop her, but Yingyu didn't dare to stop her, and she was so anxious that she was suddenly in a hurry.

Shi Zanqing not only had his parents, but also knew Han Xiufeng very well, and knew very well what Han Xiufeng really wanted to inspect. He hurriedly said, "Sir, why not do this? Hurry up and go to Dagukou to pay homage to Lord Han, and the Tianjin city defense will be handed over to the Xiaguan."

"Then it depends on your brother."

"It's not a matter of relying on it, this is the matter of the subordinates."

...

The imperial envoy visited in a private tour, and I don’t know how many people were going to be unlucky.

Yingyu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and didn't even bother changing his outfit, so he ordered the sedan chairman to carry him to chase Eunjun. However, Enjun and Feng Xiaobian and others who were accompanying him were not only riding fast horses, but also had three horses. The legs of several porters were almost broken and they couldn't catch up. It was not until the sun set that they arrived at the Dagukou Fort.

"Where is the imperial envoy? Have you ever seen the imperial envoy?" The accompanying family pulled a green camp soldier and asked bravely.

After turning over under the fort for a long time, the soldier who was carrying a hoe and was about to return to the camp was confused when asked. He hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything. Ying Yu was anxious and got out of the sedan chair and asked, "Then have you ever seen Master Guan or guards wearing yellow jackets?"

Bingyong did not recognize him, and could not figure out how old he was, so he could only say with a bitter face: "Master, I have been working here for a whole afternoon. Except for Master, you have not seen any official, nor have you seen the guards in yellow jackets."

"Then... have you ever seen strangers?"

"stranger?"

"Just looking at the face!"

"There are a few strangers who have seen each other, but they are not officials, they are businessmen."

Yingyu thought that Han Xiufeng was probably visiting privately on a private tour, and asked again: "When did they come and when did they leave."

"I came at noon, I walked around and left. Before leaving, I asked us for water."

"Have they gone up?" Yingyu raised his arm and pointed at the fort.

"I went up and said I was going up and looking at Jing'er. I really don't know what's good about it."

"Who asked them to go up?"

"There are only a few iron cannons above, but they can't steal it. Even if they have the ability to carry it away, it's not worth much money. The children in the village go up to play every day, and no one cares about it, so there is no saying that they will not be allowed."

Yingyu was completely convinced, but thought that even if he was unlucky, he would take care of the Tianjin Town General Yue Keqing'a, the general of Baoding Battalion, was unlucky, and had nothing to do with him, Tianjin Dao, so he immediately changed his question: "Have you seen where they were going?"

"It seems like I went to Yujiabao."

...

The forts on both sides of Dagukou were built when the British were invaded in the 20th year of Daoguang. At that time, in order to prevent the British from invading the capital, the then governor of Zhili, Ner, not only mobilized the green camps from the province to provide assistance, but also requested the court to transfer nearly Wanlu camps and the Eight Banners from Chahar, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Shanxi and Shanxi to the Wanlu camps and the Eight Banners.

Among them, there were about 3,400 soldiers stationed in Dagukou, and the remaining soldiers were stationed in various villages behind Dagukou, ready to support at any time.

Although there are many troops, they are only temporarily mobilized during wartime.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient permanent troops at Dagukou, Naer Jingyi asked the court to change the Dagu military system when the fort was completed, and promoted the Dagu camp in Tianjin Town to the Dagu Association. It was divided into two camps, with a total of more than 1,600 soldiers and brave men.

Three years ago, the Yiqiu Bao Ling led four gunships to Dagukou. The court transferred nearly 10,000 troops from all over the country, just like in the 20th year of Daoguang. Later, Bao Ling set sail to return south, and the court ordered the soldiers who rushed to Dagukou to go back from all over the country. Now the only guards of Dagukou are the left and right second battalions of Daguhui. However, after a while, Han Xiufeng found that there must be no 1,600 soldiers. The two battalions combined were at most 800, most of them could not fight.

Just as he was thinking about how to write this memorial, a noise came from outside the yard.

Immediately afterwards, Eun-jun, who had already changed into casual clothes, walked in and smiled and said, "Fourth Master, everything that should be come, and what should not be come is also here. This is a famous post, will you see it or not?"

Han Xiufeng took the famous post and put it in the oil lamp one by one. After reading it one by one, he weighed it and said, "Let me see you first, please wait for the other people first."
