Wang Xinyi immediately followed: "Who is it?"

"This person is Fan Yongdou." Wu Boyu said: "His family property power was swept away by Zhang Han. The Fan family business from the big business from Jinbei to Xuanfu became a medium-sized family. The hatred was too great. After hearing this, the student went to look for him. This person was a little discouraged at first, but was finally moved by the students and agreed to help us."

"He is just Zhang Han's defeated general." Wang Xin shook his head and said, "What's the use?"

"Dongweng, this is not the case." Wu Boyu said with a smile: "There is always a gap to defeat the opponent. We clearly come here. Unless someone who has a grudge against Zhang Han comes to help, how can we find opportunities? Although Fan Yongdou is a useless person, we can use him to find opportunities. This person is useful."

Zhang Yongan nodded and said, "This is reasonable. Dongweng can meet this person."

Wang Xinyi still didn't believe what the use of a down-and-out businessman was, but he nodded and said, "If this is the case, you will be able to attract him at first sight."

...

Ma Chengen went to the side door of the Governor's Office and surrounded by many entourage members and several Governor's men, entering from the side door.

The main gate will not be opened unless it is a general or a matter of receiving orders. Even if you are a Ma Chengen, you can only enter through the side gate.

Fortunately, Zheng Guochang was already waiting under the eaves of the main hall. When Ma Cheng gave the ceremony, Zheng Guochang also bowed and bowed and returned the ceremony.

"The military gate, the northern captives in Yansui are getting fewer and fewer, while the number of captive cavalry in Xuanfu is getting more and more." Ma Chengen smiled bitterly at Zheng Guochang and said, "This time Wen Lan has caused a lot of noise."

Zheng Guochang smiled and said, "When did he make a little noise?"

Ma Chengen couldn't help but shake his head and laughed.

"Although that's the case," Ma Chengen frowned after laughing, "This is still too big. The Beilu seems to be really anxious. The mobilization of each division may be as large as 150,000 or 60,000 people. Such a big movement, if the nine sides had to mobilize the army in the past, the capital might also be martial law. As a result, the court probably doesn't know much about this matter now. If it were said, Wen Lan's energy was really against the will of heaven."

Zheng Guochang smiled and said nothing. Of course, this matter was related to him, the governor. The inspector could not touch the border and did not know the truth. The governor controlled the overall situation. Even if the warnings at the border were reported as usual, they were resolved by Zheng Guochang as small border matters. If not, even if Zhang Han had great energy, the matter should have been exposed.

Ma Chengen said sincerely: "Mr. Military Master has also taken risks for Wen Lan."

Zheng Guochang said: "In terms of friendship, Wen Lan and I are uncles and nephews. In terms of official matters, this time we are also expanding the land to the north and attacking the Northern Liberation. As the imperial official, I am a governor of the local area. Of course, if I can help, I will still be restrained by him? Of course, if he can't handle it and cause the Northern Liberation to invade the border in large numbers, then Wen Lan will face the court himself. At most, I can go north to dismiss his post and get rid of the official position, and the bigger ones will not be able to take it."

Zheng Guochang's words were also very obvious. Now he was doing the job of governor, and even more excessive Zheng Guochang did not take action. The choice of the garrison generals on the border was their own deal with Zhang Han, and Zheng Guochang had never participated in it.

"Now, it depends on what the Beilu planned to do?" Ma Chengen said: "In the 41st year of Wanli, the governor rebuilt Pingyuan Fort. Since then, the 1,300-mile wall in Xuanfu has not been rebuilt. At the end, the generals have visited Xuanfu. The foundations of the walls everywhere collapsed and collapsed. Many horses can jump through it. If the Beilu invades, they can detour Xinghe Fort and attack the middle road of Xuanfu, as well as Shangxi Road and Xiaxi Road. These places have 179 miles of middle road alone.

There are 229 piers, forty-seven junctions, and dozens of military platforms and military forts. Now, in addition to military platforms and military platforms, the fire roads are mostly in decline, and there are no ten soldiers left. It is still difficult to defend, let alone attack the enemy cavalry. If the northern barbarians really go south from the middle and upper and lower west roads, they can at least go straight to the vicinity of Zhencheng. From Baoanzhou to Zhangjiakou, there are war smoke everywhere. If that happens, the court will be furious, and I and the military will definitely not be guaranteed."

Zheng Guochang closed his eyes slightly, then opened it again, and he said, "What does General Ma mean?"

Ma Chengen said: "The general of the last is not in other words. I have already ordered the generals of Zheng Bang and Deputy General Lai to be on guard. However, the general of Xuanfu is not as capable as the general of the last...

"Yang Guozhu?" Zheng Guochang smiled and said, "I think Wenlan is already sending people to Xuanfu Town."

...

"This is 30,000 taels," Zhang Han pointed to the huge wooden boxes in front of him and said to Zhang Xuzong: "Xuzong, you can't make mistakes when doing such a thing. When you arrive in Xuanfu Town, you don't need to meet General Yang in person. Someone there will take the money away. If you receive the receipt, you can turn it back to Lizhuang."

"Oh, I get it."

"What do you mean to know?" Zhang Han stared at Zhang Xuzong, shook his head and sighed: "How many people around me are as casual as you?"

Zhang Xuzong looked up at Zhang Han and muttered, "I am a clan brother, I can't call me like someone else. Is it really your subordinate to see me?"

Zhang Han was furious when he heard this. This guy really couldn't put his position right. Xiang Zhao, who was a descendant of Feng Pangong and a scholarly family, didn't look at Zhang Han, who started his career purely because of business, looked down on Li Dongxue and others, and believed that these people were inferior people. Zhang Han put a large number of scholars in the clan without using them. The people who used them were people who had never entered the school and had no fame. Moreover, his status was obviously much more important than him and Xuwen. Most of the people from Puzhou were sent back, and no one had been retained. Zhang Xuzong was naturally dissatisfied.

"Want to do big things?" Zhang Han's eyes were filled with sarcasm and sarcasm. He said to Zhang Xuzong: "If you can't do small things, how can you talk about big things?"

Zhang Xuzong looked dissatisfied and said, "I have never asked me to do a big thing, how do you know I can't do it?"

"Okay, I know you are thinking about the position of the official. I feel that your current status is inferior. It is best to go to the Acropolis to make up for you with a seventh-grade experience. It is not embarrassing to make up for the seventh-grade experience as a scholar. At least you can wear an official robe..." Zhang Han's words were not polite, pointing directly at Zhang Xuzong's original heart. Zhang Xuzong was not afraid, and looked at Zhang Han with high eyes.

"Your ideas cannot be wrong." For the sake of brothers of the same clan, Zhang Han's tone was a little gentler, and he still scolded: "But if you want to be upward, you cannot use relatives as bargaining chips. You must speak with your achievements and reward with your merits. When others do it, they rely on real merit and ability. But you are upward based on relationships. What will others think of you? Who will convince you?"

Zhang Xuzong was a little moved by Zhang Han's words and said immediately: "Learning Yin is really a trivial matter, but since you say that, I'll do it well."

"I hope you can do what you say." Zhang Han felt a little sorry for his iron. In fact, if his relatives are available in this era, he would be willing to use it. After all, if Zhang Han's plan is exposed, it will be unlucky for the clan. All men over the age of sixteen will be executed, and women will be served as the Jiafangsi. Under the 16th, they will also go to the border army. They suffer decades of hunger and cold. Therefore, even if they rebel, they will be supported. After all, they will be damaged and prosper.

It’s a pity that the Zhang family in Puzhou is really not good at it. Apart from Xuwen, there is really no one who can make any moves. Zhang Han also hopes that the Xuzong in front of him can make progress and will be a trustworthy helper in the future.

"Don't worry." Zhang Xuzong's expression was cold and his tone was very stiff. His feeling was completely different from Zhang Han. Zhang Han hated everything about Zhang Han, but Zhang Xuzong deeply hated Zhang Han. He buried this emotion very deeply, and even Zhang Han didn't notice it. He just thought he was a useless person who was ambitious and arrogant.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely ruin you!" Zhang Xuzong looked at Zhang Han's back, and there seemed to be a blazing jealousy in his eyes.

...

From the end of March to the beginning of April, the hustle and panic in the capital finally came to an end.

The new Liaodong General King has already taken office in Jin, and has collected the remaining troops and reorganized defense. There are thousands of white-rod soldiers garrisoning at Shanhai Pass. In addition, the remaining troops of Liao Town, tens of thousands of troops are guarding the pass. As long as you do not attack rashly, you will repeat the mistakes of Chenyang and Liaoyang. With these remaining troops and Shanhai Pass, you can at least block the Eastern Barbarians, and you will not let the enemy cavalry step into the pass.

Ningyuan City was also saved. After Nuerhaci seized Guangning, he obtained a large amount of military funds and mobilized countless flag cows to push the cart to move. The Jurchens had no intention of fighting any more. The spoils they had won were enough for them to digest for a while.

Because Guangning is lonely and the distance between western Liaoning is too far, after weighing the trade-offs, Nuerhaci ordered the destruction of Guangning, and at the same time the cities of Daling River and Xiaoling River were destroyed. This left the Ming army with only Ningyuan City in western Liaoning, and almost all the remaining military forts were burned or demolished. After more than 200 years of operation, it turned into ashes.

These cannot move the people in the capital. As long as they feel that the capital is safe, the main force of the Donglu retreats, the war stops, and the capital is safe, this is enough.

After the weather and warmth, noble people traveled every day on the streets of the capital. They rode their horses in fragrant bikes and rode to famous places such as Baiyun Temple outside the city, and went there to go out for a walk and enjoy the scenery.

There are also bustling at the gates of the city every day, and I don’t know how many people are going in.

The people nearby, merchants, merchants from the south, grain ships and merchant ships from Tongzhou, monks and Taoists who traveled to the capital, missionaries from Taixi, southwest Yitusi who came to the capital to pay tribute, tribute envoys from Hai Guofan, officials and military generals who came to Beijing to report on their duties, and military commanders from Shandong and Henan who came to repair the city walls and palaces and imperial tombs... The crowds of people entering and leaving the entire earth's bustling city every day have exceeded the bustling city of the entire era!

At this time, the most eye-catching thing is the candidates from all over the capital.

Even the juren who are far away in Hainan are still from the capital to take the exam!
