It is not a short distance to return to Beijing from Ganzhou, more than 4,000 miles, and it will take more than a month to reach it at the fastest speed.

Feng Ziying estimated that if she rode a horse all the way, went out early and stayed overnight, it was estimated that she could walk 200 miles a day, and if she walked relatively fast and there were no accidents in the middle, it would probably be about 20 days, but it would be too hard.

If you take a carriage, it will be slow, and it is estimated that it is about 100 miles a day, so you will go down to Beijing in September.

Of course, for Feng You and them, it is normal to walk at least more than 200 miles a day.

However, this time it was not only Feng Ziying who went back, but also a member of the Imperial History and Military Department of the Imperial Procuratorate, as well as several family members of Chai Yang and the others, all of whom were going back to Beijing to bring letters to their respective yamen and families.

If you add a group of escorted soldiers, it is still a team of seventy or eighty people, and there is no fear of all kinds of bandit accidents that may be encountered along the way.

Such a large team can only take the official road, which is the so-called post road, so that the road condition is the best, and there are places to rest and play along the line, which is convenient for rest and replenishment, and it is more secure in terms of public security.

Besides, we are not afraid of such bandits, but more is better than less, and the section from Ganzhou to Yulin has just ended the rebellion, and it is inevitable that there will be some deserters who have escaped the net and some bandits who have taken advantage of the fire to rob will make trouble, and all localities are still clearing up.

This is also the reason why a cavalry team of fifty people was specially sent to escort the group, but even Chai Ke, Yang He and Feng Tang were not worried about the security situation in their jurisdiction.

The group is basically on horseback, but they also carry a few carriages, and the imperial history and a few staff members will definitely not be able to stand such a long horseback ride, and they can also take a proper rest.

In addition, there are also things that Feng Tang, Chai Ke and Yang He each sent back to their homes, and they can also load one or two cars.

It is also a common practice to take some of the valuable skins, medicinal herbs, etc., when you go out, you have to bring some back.

For example, my father gave twenty or thirty pieces of sand fox skin, deer skin, suede, and dozens of beach sheepskins and yellow sheepskins, saying that this kind of nitrated sheepskin can not only be used as a cushion on the bed and chair, but also can be used to wrap people in cotton robes in winter to keep out the cold, and the effect is quite good.

There are also some medicinal herbs such as wolfberry, musk, deer antler velvet and inkstone, which are fragmentary, but there are also a lot.

Just the medicinal materials on this car, in modern times, it is estimated that dozens of heads can be lost, the musk of this forest musk deer and the antler velvet of red deer, Feng Ziying estimates that at least hundreds of forest musk deer and red deer have contributed to it, and in this era, it is a natural source of life as a local hunter.

It is said that the court is difficult, but for the officials, it is not like that.

Feng Ziying didn't know what the cart of things Chai Ke and Yang He brought back to Beijing was and how much it was worth, but Dad's cart of things and things, if there were not thousands of taels of silver, he wouldn't be able to get down.

It is no wonder that the generals want to fight, and this war can benefit from all aspects.

Along the way from Ningxia to Gansu, how many gentry and giants who had anything to do with the rebels were exterminated?

It is that some local gentry and businessmen who have nothing to do with it but do not have much to do with it, when they meet a ruthless person like He Renlong, they can just plant a crime for you, and you can shout that the earth is not spiritual, and it is Amitabha Buddha who can be sent away with silver.

Therefore, for the local gentry, local peace is the most important, if there is a civil unrest, it can be pacified, then being soldiers once is almost the same as banditry.

Even if your father is in Datong or in Yulin, when you encounter such a thing, you have to turn a blind eye, you don't let the soldiers below take the opportunity to make some extra money, why should people work for you?

As long as you don't go too far and don't make trouble, you can only turn a blind eye.

A group of people went out from the west of Ganzhou and went straight to Liangzhou Wei along the post road.

This section of the road is the most important post road in the whole Gansu town, the road condition is good, and because this main road comes and goes with a lot of soldiers and horses, so it is quite quiet, it has to pass, Liangzhou Wei can part ways.

One road can enter the big and small pine mountains from Surabaya Fort, cross the Huangyang River and enter the jurisdiction of Yulin Town through Jingtai, and the other road can continue to the southeast through Zhuanglangwei and then go east through Lanzhou Wei.

The previous road is solemnly closer, but the road condition is much worse, and the size of Songshan was entrenched by Achitu and Bintu Niangzi for a few months, and then was defeated by Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong, there are many routs, and there are many Tatars in this area, so the public security situation is not good, so the general people will take the second road, that is, through Zhuanglang, take Lanzhou.

The same is true for Feng Ziying and his entourage, going south from Gulang, going south along the Inner Great Wall, passing through Zhenqiang Fort, Wusheng Station, and Kushuiwan Station to reach the Lanzhou Acropolis.

"Ahead is the Kushui Bay Station, I'm afraid I can only stay here for one night tonight." Feng Zuozema came back after a circle from the front, and said casually: "It seems that there is still a bit of chaos here, Kushuiwan Fort is under martial law, and non-government personnel are not allowed to enter, and a group of businessmen are still crying and pleading there." ”

"What's wrong?" Feng Ziying was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to touch the narrow blade on her waist.

"It is said that a gang of bandits ransacked Minhe County and came to this side." Feng Zuo said indifferently: "There are too few garrisons on this side of Kushuiwan, and I am worried that I will be mixed in by thieves and bandits, so I refuse to let ordinary businessmen and pedestrians enter the station." ”

Minhe County is under the jurisdiction of the Nian Bo Office of Gansu Town, and it is also a guard station on the southeast side of Gansu Town, and it is adjacent to Guyuan Town in the south.

"Bandits?" Feng Ziying said puzzledly: "Where did this thief come from?" ”

"Brother Cong, do you think you will be done if you wipe out the rebels? This situation will continue for at least more than a year, and there will be no shortage of large and small fugitives, rebellious soldiers, and local scoundrels, and now that the government is basically paralyzed, and the army is only in charge of big cities and important post roads, and other places cannot take care of it, it is natural that they can take a handful of things in the cracks. ”

Feng You is obviously accustomed to this kind of situation, whether it is in Yulin Town or Datong Town, such situations are not uncommon, even a small mutiny can cause social order chaos in the surrounding area for a long time, let alone such a big rebellion.

"Don't worry, Brother Cong, these bandits are not stupid, they all have internal responses that are familiar with the local situation, and they will not come to touch a cavalry team like us."

"I remember that this line should be You Shigong and they are stationed, I'm afraid this kind of chaotic situation is not appropriate, right?" Feng Ziying saw the chaos outside the gate of Kushuiwan Fort from afar, and glanced at the Yushi surnamed Zhang who was sticking out of the carriage over there.

Feng You naturally understood Feng Ziying's worries, and shook his head with a smile: "Brother Keng, this kind of imperial history is also sensible, now the soldiers of the second town of Ningxia, Gansu are all our Yulin soldiers, he followed Lord Yang out to boil up the qualifications and picked up this scene of wealth and wealth, it's too late to like it, how can he go to find the fork of our Yulin soldiers?" Such trivial things will not be taken into account at all. ”

Sure enough, the surname Yushi is nothing more than that

This is the first stop to cross the Yellow River from Lanzhou Wei, and it is the most important post road throat, the geographical location is very important, the business vehicles and horses from the south to the north to the east to the west are gathered in this kind, and the scale of Kushuiwan Fort is not small, it seems that there is already a faint scale of a market town.

Feng Ziying They came from the north, and they saw a large group of people and horses coming from afar, and the ordinary merchants and travelers around them hurriedly got out of the way, but the soldiers on the wall of the fort were all with bows and arrows, and they were careful to take precautions.

Soon a soldier came out to investigate, and the group had official documents, plus the accompanying people were all Yulin Town Army, and now the Yulin Town Army is also stationed here, so naturally you can enter the city without any hindrance.

Urn castles were set up at the north and south gates of Kushuiwan Fort, which also showed vigilance against Tatar invasions along this line.

I saw that the two carriages on the side of the fort gate were being interrogated by several sergeants, and some cages were turned upside down, all of which were colorful women's clothes and clothes.

"You little Langjun don't know anything, on the orders of my general, this bandit has ransacked Minhe County, and is coming here, how do I know that you are not a spy?" A guy who was afraid of the appearance of a small flag was shouting endlessly.

"Master Jun, our family is going to Beijing to join our relatives, and we don't have much property, you have been checking over and over for a long time, I don't know what else to check?" The voice was a little familiar, Feng Ziying subconsciously turned her head, and saw that You Jialang Jun was arguing with the other party with strong anger.

"Hmph, I only checked one car, what about that car?" Xiaoqi looked like a veteran oil, with one foot straddling the wheel and one hand on the waist knife, "I'm afraid that all the contraband is hidden in this car, right?" ”

"Master Jun, this is my mother and sister, both of whom are women's families, where can I hide any forbidden things?" People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, in this case, if you don't comply, then you can really plant a bandit hat for you.

Lifting the curtain, I saw two women sitting in the car, nothing else, the middle-aged woman was quite a bachelor, after getting down, she called out to the military master, and another young woman wore a hat, covering her appearance, and after getting out of the car, she was blessed, but she did not speak.

"Take your hat off!" Seeing that there was nothing else in the car, Xiaoqi was also a little disappointed, and he couldn't find any suitable reason, so he said it.

"Master Huijun, my sister hasn't left the cabinet yet, I'm afraid it's inconvenient,......"

"Inconvenient fart! Bandits are rampant, and the military situation is important, even if the official lady is here, she has to get it for me! Xiao Qi was suddenly annoyed, his face suddenly twisted, and he said fiercely.

In this season, ordinary women rarely travel far away, and even if there are, they all have some heels or special reasons, and such ordinary people are in a special period, where can they tolerate disobeying their orders?
