People in the world are often influenced by emotions. Even though they know the consequences, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, someone will infinitely amplify this little bit of vitality in his heart and take risks.

In June of the seventh year of the Tianqi revelation, one and a half months after the Shaanxi New Deal was officially implemented in the local area, fires in Guyuan City soared into the sky, and the armory was razed to the ground with a bang.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang demoted Kaicheng Road (state level) of the Yuan Dynasty to Kaicheng County. During the Yongle period, Zhu Di, Chengzu, conquered Mongolia for five times, trained border troops with hundreds of thousands of armor to prepare for border defense, and all countries came to pay tribute.

During the Zhengtong period of Emperor Yingzong, the Tumu Fort changed and the national strength declined. It turned into a defensive position in the northern border areas, and its territory shrank, and the situation gradually became tense.

The Ola Yesian, Mongolians and the Han Dynasty, Chahar and other tribes often went south under the banner of the Yuan Empire, attacked Shaanxi along the Qingshui River, and plundered the Central Plains.

In order to better guard against the frontier, after orthodox, emperors of all dynasties set up nine important towns on the northern border, known as the "Nine Borders". Their soldiers were also called "Border Army", and were known for their elite troops in the country.

Guyuan is one of the important towns of the "Nine Borders".

In the second year of Tianqi, after the victory in the southwest and the victory in Liaodong, the situation in the northern border gradually improved.

The court discussed adding 300,000 troops to the "Nine Borders" and giving 5 million yuan a year to deal with the northern Tsarist Russia and the increasingly growing Chaharlindan Khan tribe at that time, as well as the Jianzhou Jurchens outside the pass that were eyeing covetously.

As one of the important towns on the nine borders, Guyuan has added 30,000 troops, of which 12,000 have been stationed in Guyuan City, and has continued to this day.

Since the destruction of Xitumot and the Chahar tribe were forced to move north, Guyuan has always been relatively stable due to its patrols close to the Central Plains, with sufficient armor and abundant warehouses.

However, today, the armory in Guyuan City suddenly burst into flames in the dark. Although the border soldiers put out the fire in time and evacuated the people, the armory still exploded.

At that time, the fire was rising into the sky, as bright as day.

Hong Castle is the northernmost area of ​​Guyuan Town and is an important defense area for the Great Wall that enters Shaanxi from the south of the desert.

Guo Qincheng Zuyin, the current general of Guyuan, was a student at first, but later joined the army. He was summoned by the military and was called Guyuan guerrillas. He served as the general of the Guyuan North Road for his military achievements and served as the general of the Shaanxi Provincial Governor General.

In the 47th year of Wanli, he made great contributions to resisting the Mongolian prince of the Han tribe at Hong Castle, beheaded at level 300, became famous and advanced to the general officer of Guyuan.

In the third year of Tianqi, Guo Qin led more than 10,000 Guyuan troops out of seclusion to participate in the Liaodong War, and was under the tent of Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Ji Liao.

During the war, Guo Qin led the Guyuan army to march from the north, encountered Leartu, one of the eight bells in Jianzhou, and won the battle and killed his head.

After the war, he returned to Beijing to participate in the ceremony of Sympathy. Guo Qin then appointed him as the right governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Army for his second-class military achievements and the Shaobao of the Crown Prince.

He was visiting here recently, and thus escaped.

I heard that the city had changed, Guo Qin only brought three personal soldiers and ran around at night. This time, it was several miles away from Guyuan City, and you could still see the firelight on the other end of the sky.

Guo Qin kept rising and falling in his hand.

"quick!"

"quick!!"

Soon, a group of people rushed into the city from Nan'Andingmen Gate. The street was already full of devastation. Around the armory, most of the houses had collapsed. The people stood on the street in a panic and cried.

Even in the south of the city, many houses were shaking, with several black smoke rolling up. There has never been such a mess since Guo Qinti Town Guyuan.

Going further forward, he came to the Marshal's Mansion, and the scene in front of him shocked Guo Qin even more.

The entire Marshal's Mansion was razed to the ground, and there was still a fire burning to the sky. He turned over and dismounted, regardless of the dissuasion of his personal soldiers, and ran to the ruins.

"Where are people?"

"Where are the people here?!"

Guo Qin stood on this familiar ruin and shouted like crazy.

At this time, when a general of Guyuan Army left behind in the city saw the general come back, he staggered and ran away, with a crying voice in his words, "Master! Madam and the young master are both buried below!"

"The armory was buried, and I led my brothers to dig with my hands desperately, but I still couldn't dig it quickly. The commander is humble and incompetent!"

"Madam, Madam, she..."

As he said that, Mr. Qian pulled out his sword and was about to commit suicide.

Guo Qin turned around coldly and kicked the knife from his hand off, "Save your strength to investigate the murderer of this armory explosion!"

"Master, maybe—"

Mr. Qian had to say something else, supporting himself lying on the ground, looking at the scene in front of him, he clenched his fists and hammered the ground with a hatred.

"If Beizhi knew who set the fire!"

Several other presidents roared and said, "Master, let's go door to door to investigate! The murderer must be hidden in the city. Compared with the local household registration, you can always find clues!"

"Yes! Arrest all the people with wrong household registration and interrogate them one by one!"

Guo Qin clenched his fists, his nails were even embedded in the flesh, and bleeding was dripping.

He turned around and looked at the bloody and bloody appearance on the other soldiers' hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't dig with your hands anymore, the person is dead."

"Your hands must be kept to kill slaves, and send people to Pingliang Mansion to borrow tools to come back to save people."

"Block down the entire city and find the murderer, no one is allowed to let go!"

"The whole city is martial law, and those who go to the streets will be killed!"

After such a big incident, orders were issued in an orderly manner. The generals of the Guyuan Army quickly dispersed and arranged personnel one by one.

Guo Qin raised his head and tried his best to prevent the tears from falling down in his eyes.

He is the commander of the three armies and a role model for everyone. No matter what, he cannot show his cowardice, otherwise it will only be even more chaotic if it is spread.

......

The explosion of Guyuan Armory was confirmed to be human-made at the beginning, but apart from this, the Guyuan government and Guyuan army were convenient and knew nothing.

Although the explosion in the armory was far less powerful than that in the capital Wang Gongchang, it was also the first time that the armory explosion occurred in the Jiubian side, which damaged the soldiers of the border army.

Unfortunately, such a major event had never happened before, but happened after Zhu Youxiao arrived in Shaanxi and issued a new policy to reform Weisu.

When Guo Qin's personal soldiers came to Pingliang Mansion, they saw a scene where the city gate was closed and there was no ghost. He turned over and dismounted and kept knocking on the city gate.

"The personal soldiers of the General Guo of Guyuan came to borrow tools from Pingliang Prefecture to repair the city wall and dig out the ruins. Life is at stake. Please open the city gate quickly!"

He shouted several times, his throat was a little dry, and the city gate still remained motionless.

The personal soldier had no choice but to turn over and run to Zhenyuan County, Jingzhou, Chongxin County and other places. They were all exploded by the Guyuan Armory, and martial law in various places was not allowed to enter.

When he returned to Pingliang Mansion again, the city gate was opened, but what came out were many well-dressed local military generals and private servants.

A Qianhuhu of a garrison said: "Who dares to knock on the door without authorization? Don't you know that the Guyuan Armory explosion has been in danger of martial law in Pingliang Prefecture!"

The soldiers there said anxiously: "Since there is someone! Please report to the prefect's office quickly, saying that the tools in Guyuan City are insufficient. Please help some tools to repair the city wall and dig out the ruins!"

"If you can provide some staff, I will be grateful!"

The Qianhu's eyes turned, his face suddenly calmed down, and he smiled: "It turns out that he is from the tent of Grandmaster Guo of Guyuan. It's Qianhu who has no eyes can recognize Mount Tai. Please follow me!"
