At the beginning of Heyusheng's advance north, in order to increase pressure on Heyusheng, the Mongolian tribes had abnormal movements from Yansui to Xuanfu. Many herders were encouraged to go to the border and plundered various acts of looting and criminalizing the border. Later, the Ming generals fought back several times, and Zhou Yao led cavalry and guerrillas. The Northern Barbarians' reaction was very slow and incompetent. Each unit launched some armored soldiers, but they could not catch up with Zhou Yao at all. Later, Zhou Yao's soldiers fought more and more, from hundreds of cavalry to nearly a thousand cavalry, and some of them came out of Lingqiu Mountain. The horse thieves on the grassland were accommodated. The Northern Barbarians had no choice but to do anything. Later, the military pressure of the Heihe forts increased. Zhou Yao was forced to gather the main force and then concentrate them at Heihe and Dahe forts... The Mongolian tribes everywhere were really relieved!

As a result, there was no pressure everywhere in Yansui and Xuanfu. The grassland was already surging, but the Ming army along the border was no pressure. Of course, the court could not hear any comments.

If it was in the early days of Wanli, even civil and military officials pretended to be blind and deaf, such a big thing could not be hidden from the court, and officials might not dare to hide it. However, since Wanli took office in power, the Jinyiwei fell into Luo Sigong's hands for twenty years. During the Japanese invasion of Renchen, the Jinyiwei was still useful and collected a lot of information about Japan. Later, Wang Er was worse than the New Year. By the Tianqi period, the Jinyiwei became a decoration like the Dongchang. Apart from collecting some official statements and situations on the market in the capital, it was useless. The intelligence in Liaodong and all over the country had been abandoned, and even the capital was infiltrated by the Dongguan. It is conceivable how wasteful the Jinyiwei was.

The Northern Liberation tribes in the Qianli realm mobilized many great wars. In the Jiajing period, even in the early years of Wanli, civil and military officials did not report, and the Jinyiwei must have reported to the inner court. Compared with the predecessors, the current Emperor of Heaven and the blind and deaf.

Duoer shook his head and said, "The Northern Territory is not abnormal. The East Road is not their main target. Occasionally there are rangers and the breastplate cavalry will run away quickly. Now the abnormal movement is Xuanfu Town. General Yang has ordered many guerrillas to move troops to Shangxi Road and other places. The main camp is also mobilizing, and it seems that General Yang has planned to go deep into the territory of the barbarians to fight."

"Yang Guozhu?" Li Shenming frowned and said, "Why is he here to join in the fun?"

Liang Xing said: "It seems that this is going to make a big deal. He is also targeting Nei Khalkha. Moreover, no matter which one m.v.co↓m fights, he will stab a hornet's nest. Beilu now has no way to take our military fort. Once the Xuanfu sends troops, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Li Shenming was a little anxious, slapped his hand on the table, and said angrily: "Send someone to investigate quickly. Didn't you send Zhang Xuzong to Xuanfu to establish a relationship and ask him to do nothing, just send the money to deliver it. What's wrong with this? Can this make a mistake?"

Duoer said: "Zhang Xuzong must have gone to work. Recently, many people have been assigned to go north. The person who was in charge of the matter in Xuanfu seems to have also gone north. No one cares about it. What is this thing that dare not do?"

Li Shenming said upset: "Xu Wen, the two brothers of Xu Zong are really far apart."

He said, "It may not work to send someone else. Zhang Chun happened to be in the Zhangjiakou area these days, so please ask Zhang Chun to come."

Everyone was speechless. No matter how unreliable the Xuzong was, he was a member of the Zhang family. Zhang Chun was also a member of the Zhang family. He was in charge of the military and judicial affairs. He acted without any leakage and was brave enough to take responsibility. At this moment, Zhang Chun could only ask him to go there.

Li Shenming stood in front of the window of the looking hall. Cavalry vaguely rushed past the green grassland outside the fort. Most of the Northern Territory here were cavalry from the Halashen tribe, and a small number of Mobei tribes were not large. Liang Xing and others were confident of defeating them. However, if more cavalry came, all the generals were not sure.

Now everyone seems to be in the fog of war. Li Shenming felt that without Zhang Han, everyone lacked the backbone. At this time, he himself felt a little confused.

...

Zhang Xuzong staggered out of a building, his body covered with vomited stains. The smell of the wine and food he had spit out for a night was simply unbearable. Wherever he passed by, all the people passing by could not look directly, and could only cover their noses and walk.

The style is cool in the early morning, and there are still dew drops on the ground. Several nuns knock on wooden fish bypass. Some Buddhist families opened the door and sent some wheat or rice and some scattered copper coins.

This is Xuanfu Town, which was not an important place in later generations. At this time, the Ming Dynasty, it was also a military town, far less developed than that of Zhangjiakou, and densely populated. However, at least it was a town, and there was no shortage of brothels, brothels, shops and hotels. Zhang Xuzong just came out of a hotel... He could no longer remember why he lived in such a place, and why he was drunk, and even his purse was lost. He had no idea where he went. The robe on his body was of high-quality silk material, which was expensive and good at work, which just set off his handsome young man. With the folding fan in his hand, there was jade and purse on his waist, he was eye-catching and envious wherever he went. Now he was like being dragged out of the gutter.

Zhang Xuzong walked to the gate of an exquisite courtyard. A middle-aged woman saw him and a hint of disgust flashed across her face, but it soon turned into enthusiasm.

"My good master, where are you going to make trouble?" The middle-aged woman complained, and helped Zhang Xuzong enter the door. She called a servant to take off Zhang Xuzong's robe, took ointment and teeth to ask him to wash his face. After some trouble, the stench on Zhang Xuzong's body disappeared, and the person looked like a person, but his eyes were blue and his eyes were dull. He couldn't stand steadily, and he looked like a ghost climbing up from the ground.

"The girl is waiting." The middle-aged woman sent Zhang Xuzong to the door of the side room with a look of expression.

A curtain inside was striking, a pretty face was covered with frost, and a woman of seventeen or eighteen looked at Zhang Xuzong like ice.

The woman knew that Zhang Xuzong was not done when she saw him, but she still asked coldly: "The thing was not done?"

"No..." Zhang Xuzong said dejectedly: "The branch manager is already suspicious of me. Not only does he not give me the money, he also asked me many times if I had gone to the General's Mansion. He kept interrogating and interrogating. The same is true for the people in the store. They looked at me coldly. Later, I was angry and found a 'bake pot' shop to drink wine, and I suddenly drank too much..."

The woman said in anger: "What a young man from a noble family, he actually ran to the pot to drink soy sauce with the poor people. I think you are really promising."

Zhang Xuzong has never been scolded like this when he grew up. He stepped forward, grabbed the woman's neckline with his left hand, and raised his right hand to beat him.

"You fight," the woman's eyes burst into tears: "What's the point of following you? I think I can live a good life by following you. If this is the case, it's better to stay in the yard..."

Zhang Xuzong let go dejectedly, feeling that he was not as good as death.

The woman said again: "The family costs money and expenses, and the money you owe Mr. Han. They come to ask for it every now and then. If you are not at home, they will be angry at me. Is it worth it?"

Zhang Xuzong said: "I don't know how you spent money on money, and the expenses were so **."

The woman said: "The current monthly expense is the cost of three to five days in the yard!"

Zhang Xuzong was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and felt extremely depressed.

He was sent by Zhang Han to a ban on the bank and arrived at Zhencheng from Lizhuang. On the way, Zhang Han decided to go north and traveled north for the last time before departure. The shopkeeper of the chamber of commerce who presided over the town was transferred to the East Road. Before the new shopkeeper arrived, there was no one in charge of the town and there was no way to deliver the money. Zhang Xuzong was still responsible.

In Heyusheng, where the financial and employment process are very complete, this is a very rare situation. It can be seen that Zhang Han is surrounded and brought great trouble to Heyusheng's system, because if Zhang Han had not suddenly lost contact, these things should have been resolved early and would not give Zhang Xuzong the opportunity to make mistakes.

Thirty thousand taels of silver are a huge sum of money, which should be the entire wealth of a large landlord and gentry. In northern Shanxi and Xuanfu, this silver can be bought for nearly 10,000 acres of dry land. Zhang Xuzong did not dare to make the idea of ​​this money at the beginning. He had public expenses when he came out, so he used public expenses to squander the public expenses while waiting, that is, he just went shopping in brothels and drank flower wine. The expenses were actually not very large.

Later, he met the woman named Hong in front of him, who was also a famous prostitute in Xuanfu. After being addicted, the money was not enough. At first, he used dozens of taels, and then he took out a few hundred taels to use it. Then he took out a thousand taels to redeem himself for Hong and bought a yard to live. At the same time, Zhang Xuzong started to gamble in the casino again and repeatedly gambled and lost money. After the new shopkeeper came, he had to accept the money. At this time, Zhang Xuzong had already lost 5,000 taels. He insisted that it was shipped in two batches, and a batch was not shipped in Lizhuang, so he was evaded for a while. However, everyone knew that he was lying. Now Zhang Xuzong wanted to borrow money, but of course the money could not be paid out. Not only could he not be paid out, but everyone looked at him coldly.

Zhang Xuzong was panicked and embarrassed. Of course, Hong and others were extremely expensive. He ran to the casino to gamble without money, and lost all the remaining silver on him. He borrowed more and more money. People knew that he was from Yusheng and borrowed money to him. Unexpectedly, after a long time, Zhang Xuzong couldn't get the money. Not only did the gamblers stop borrowing money, but they also forced him to pay back the money. Hong also looked at him coldly every day, complaining about the world.

In a state of annoyance, several strong men walked into the courtyard.

"Young Master Zhang, fortunately I'm meeting you today." The people who came in were from the casino. Several strong men surrounded Zhang Xuzong. The leader's scar face was gloomy. Zhang Xuzong was scared when he saw it. He knew that these people were all very powerful and ruthless people, and killing was no problem.

"The old fifth brother is good."

"Not good." Han Laowu, a scarred face, said: "Now you owe our casino 1,800 taels of silver. When will this account be paid?"

Zhang Xuzong was surprised and said, "Isn't it just more than three hundred taels?"

Lao Wu smiled grimly, the scar on his face twisted like a centipede, and he whispered: "More than 300 taels is capital. Now that we are delaying for so long, aren't we considered profits?"

This profit is really bad, but Zhang Xuzong didn't dare to do so!
