Chapter six hundred and ninety-six twilight heroes talk about the national war
Since it was said that it was the emperor's oral order, Wang Tong got up the next morning to prepare and asked General Tan and several guards to leave the city together. When the gatehouse of Chongwen Gate appeared in his sight, the bells and drums on the other side of the imperial city were ringing.
Living in South Street, the bells and drums were very familiar to Wang Tong, and the gate of the imperial city was also opened. Zou Yi could only come out at this time. He came too early and had to wait for a while.
The east is already bright, because the city walls are covered, and the rising sun cannot be seen, but there are really many people waiting to leave the city.
Chongwenmen is a tax customs office. Most merchants outside the capital have to go to the city here, but if they want to go to Chongwenmen to the capital to the other prefectures, they have to go far away, so there are not many people leaving the city. Wang Tong has been in and out here several times, and this time has always been very deserted.
Wang Tong and others also stopped in the open space beside the city gate. A personal guard went to buy breakfast and waited for Zou Yi to arrive. Wang Tong and others were wearing casual clothes. Although everyone had a strong spirit, most of the children of wealthy families in the capital were traveling in this style, and everyone was not surprised.
However, Wang Tong saw something wrong from the people gathered at the city gate. The group of people gathered at the city gate did not look like good people no matter how they were. Let’s talk about dressing first. Many people wear clothes made of silk fabrics. Of course, ordinary people cannot afford to wear them. They all carry packages, and usually have horses or carts.
Carriages and horses followed each other, silk and clothes, and these people all looked around, with a fierce look and weird look. Moreover, the people should know each other and were talking in a low voice, but they were very different from each other, divided into small circles, and did not get involved with each other.
Wang Tong was scanning there, often facing the eyes of this person. Some people looked at him and turned their heads away. Some people were guilty and glared fiercely. Seeing Wang Tong's sharp expression, they also shrank their heads.
"Sir, my subordinates saw a familiar brother in the Police Department..."
While observing, a guard next to him came over and whispered. Wang Tong was stunned, but he understood that he was all demons and gods. He was just thinking about whether he would call soldiers near the city gate or those who were called to the Jinyiwei nearby to come and arrest him. When he heard the guards say that he remembered yesterday's newspaper.
Such gangsters and tyrants in the capital, small robbers, scammers who set up tricks, and people who have committed crimes or have committed crimes in the past are leaving the city and escaping from a foreign land.
While using the former spy liner, the Public Security Department and the Police Department put people in, preparing to see who they were seeking to go outside Beijing, especially some of them that need to be paid attention to. Knowing who they defect to, they can often follow the clues and find out many other cases.
Since this is the case, Wang Tong didn't need to observe and think about it, so as not to alarm the enemy. The soldiers there had already bought the breakfast back, but it was just a few meat-cooked pancakes, and everyone ate them to cushion their stomachs.
Not long after, amid the shouts of soldiers guarding the five cities, the city gate opened and a group of people rushed out, while Wang Tong and others watched these people go away.
After the city gate opened, two caravans outside entered the city, Zou Yi rode a horse under the escort of several cavalrymen. After the two sides met at the city gate, they walked out of the city.
In early May, the weather was just right. I went out early in the morning and walked on the road on horseback. It was very comfortable. There were not many cars, horses, and business trips on the road outside Chongwen Gate, so it was very quiet.
The guards of both sides dispersed to protect the surroundings, but Wang Tong and Zou Yi walked slowly and chatted while walking. The matter at the city gate was not important. The secret was used as a topic of conversation. Zou Yi smiled and said, "The people from the East Factory are very impressed by the adults now. They said that they had been working for so long and they still had some incomprehension about the various parts of the capital. Now Brother Wang has been cracking down on this and asked the Public Security Bureau to do the household registration. It is clear at once. What will they check in the future.
It must be convenient. There are fewer monsters and monsters, so the East Factory doesn’t have to worry about those trivial cases. You don’t know that the second steward of the Marquis of Wuqing lost money and decorations outside the year before yesterday. As a result, Shuntian Mansion, Jinyiwei and Dongchang were all called out. These bandits and bastards in Beijing should have been in charge of this trouble, but they mentioned this matter several times to Shuntian Mansion without any response. The servants in Shuntian Mansion were all fed by these thieves and gangsters…”
"This crackdown will be at least two years old. I plan to crack down on it if these monsters and monsters are not tactful and have to do illegal things in two years, then crack down on it again.
Wang Tong said with a smile, Zou Yi laughed, and walked forward a few steps. Tang Yi said again: "In this case, if something goes wrong in the capital, your people can act immediately, and they are familiar with the way, know where to go and how to do it, so that they will not waste time, and they will not be as critical as that night, but they will still have to take action by our brothers outside."
Speaking of this, Zou Yi's face disappeared. I think of the thrilling night. Zou Yi shook the reins in his hand, making the mount that was about to stop faster, and said in a deep voice: "In all aspects of the capital, as long as there are civil and military officials, there will always be someone who can insert it. Brother Wang, you must master this structure yourself. Long lively. It is not easy for Master to have such a caring power..."
Wang Tong nodded. The person leading the way was Zou Yi. After leaving the city, he was going all the way east, but there was a village in front. The reason why this village was there was a large inn here. If officials passing by the capital did not need to go to Beijing for work, they would rest and stay here.
"Brother Zou, who are you meeting today?"
Seeing the guide pointing at the inn, his guards were already moving forward, Wang Tong couldn't help asking curiously. When he arrived here, Zou Yi did not hide it, but just smiled and said, "It's Qi Jiguang."
The guide here arrived at the gate of the inn, but more than a dozen soldiers appeared to stop the interrogation, but after Zou Yi and Wang Tong revealed their identities, they were allowed to pass.
"Qi Jiguang handed over his errands from Jizhen. When he left Yongping Prefecture, he sent a messenger to the capital to send memorials. He wanted to meet Mr. Wansui, but Mr. Wansui was not sure. But after a day, Mr. Wansui wanted to hear what Qi Jiguang said, so he sent our family and Brother Wang to come over. No matter what Qi Jiguang said, we just want to give the rewards we heard and saw."..."
Qi Jiguang went to Guangdong to take office. There were about 500 entourages from his family, most of whom were strong personal soldiers and generals. They settled at this post station and immediately became like a military camp, vaguely revealing a solemn and murderous aura.
But when I entered the inn to meet with guests, when I saw Qi Jiguang, the solemn and murderous aura outside the barracks were all gone. Qi Jiguang was wearing a brown gold robe and was drinking tea slowly there. The tables, chairs and furniture in the house were all newly replaced. The tea sets used by Qi Jiguang were also valuable. The faint fragrance in the air meant that this tea was probably the best.
Qi Jiguang's bun was covered with a wealth scarf and had to be neatly decorated. It was obviously a little richer than when he saw him in Tianjin Wei that year. When he saw Wang Tong and Zou Yi walking in, he quickly stood up and nodded and said, "Eunuch Zou, Lord Wang, I'm working hard!"
"I've met Lord Qi!"
Qi Jiguang actually lost power, but the position of general of a province was still the position of a Count, and Wang Tong and Zou Yi also had to do enough etiquette.
After seeing the ceremony, Qi Jiguang waved his hand and asked the guards who were serving in the house to go down. He picked up the teapot on the red mud stove and filled Wang Tong and Zou Yi with tea. Wang Tong and Zou Yi had to stand up and thank him. Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "When the Japanese were pacified by Zhejiang, good tea was produced there, so I had this hobby. I brought some good tea over there every year, but Ji Town did not have good water, so the capital was different!"
Zou Zhi nodded with a smile and said in a deep voice: "But I didn't expect Lord Qi to be so elegant. This time we come with Lord Wang to listen to what Lord Qi wants to say. After returning, I report it to Master Long Live, Lord Qi said it."
There was a vague urging in his words. Qi Jiguang shook his head and smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Everyone who established the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars were the enemy, otherwise there would be no nine-sided design. There are two major harms on the grassland now, one is the Altan tribe against Datong, and the other is the Altan tribe against Jizhen. Although Altan Khan is dead, after Senggedu Gulen succeeded to the throne, his strength was not damaged, and he is still the overlord of the grassland. The Korqin tribe in the east has always been ambitious and has colluded with the tribes outside the walls of Liao Town. If they are allowed to merge, they will inevitably have great harm in the future..."
Zou Yi and Wang Tong looked at each other, their expressions were not moving. These things were not secrets in the positions of both of them. Emperor Wanli and the ministers in the court must have known them. If they came here specifically to say these words, there was no need. Wang Tong stared at Qi Jiguang for a few glances, and suddenly he found that the frost under his wealth scarf was very heavy and the wrinkles on his face were dense. Wang Tong suddenly appeared, and Qi Jiguang was much older.
"The year before yesterday, Ji Town, Xuanfu, and the three Huwei Army teams worked together to annihilate more than 10,000 Tartars. Not to mention anything else in this battle, we can see that the Tartars are strong outside and the middle. The soldiers and horses of Ji Town have been trained for nearly twenty years. It can be said that they are strong and strong. Liao Town also has strong soldiers and generals. The rest of the towns have good combat soldiers. This is a good opportunity given by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty and God. We should give them all to annihilate these two Tartars on the grassland. If we fail, we will destroy one of them, and cut off the first chance!!"
