Leaving Yufu City, Mu Jing's mood inexplicably became a lot better.

Although he has been emphasizing the issue of military discipline, and has also personally appointed Huang Zhong, the first military general of the Ming Marquis Mansion, to establish the military justice department and establish the gendarmerie system, he still has great doubts about the soldiers of this era.

But now it seems that the Department of Military Justice is still operating well, and it can be seen from this incident that in terms of military discipline, the entire pastoral system is still doing well.

The words of Xiao Er just now also made Mu Jing realize a little.

What can make military discipline a little better is not only the establishment of the Department of Military Justice, but also the treatment of generals and soldiers in the army has become a lot better.

This made him feel the bottom of his heart.

In the future, in the army, I am afraid that it is necessary to increase investment, and the strategy of elite soldiers must continue to be implemented, and the soldiers and horses of the ruling will be decided, so that not only the labor force will be liberated, but also the treatment of individual military personnel can be increased.

In addition to the fish after the city, Mu Jing and his party, riding horses and galloping, along the official road to the north, this road to the north, in Ba County, there are mountain roads everywhere, stretching for hundreds of miles, there is no human population at all, this is the land barren.

I still crossed the Daba Mountain, and only then did I see some small villages and small towns.

On March 2, Mu Jing and his entourage crossed the border of Ba County and entered the northwest of Linfu County, Nan County.

This is the fastest path.

If you go to Fangling, you have to follow the Hanzhong to Nanyang Beishan Chi Road, first enter Wudang, and then go south from Wudang, enter Fancheng from Shandu, and enter Xiangyang City, so it will take at least three more days to rush.

Save time and go this way is the fastest.

Although Linfu and Bian County are said to be under the rule of Nanjun, they have a small population, a lot of wasteland, and overlapping mountains, and they are not valued by Jingzhou, and even the county order is designated as a locality, and they will not be sent directly, even if they are lost, they are not heartbroken.

These places are not strategically important, there are transportation difficulties, the population is not large, and the productivity is not much, so they naturally do not care.

So there is no such guarding.

Mu Jing and his entourage passed through Linfu very smoothly, and one day later, they crossed the county and entered the territory of Yicheng.

Yicheng is the south gate of Yangyang County.

At present, the border between Xiangyang County and Nanjun is on the border of Yicheng, and the Mu Army and the Jingzhou Army also had a small-scale fight in Yicheng last year, Lei Bo beat Deng Long, and he did not lose or win.

But it's a strategic location.

At present, although Xiangyang holds this strategic place, Jingzhou will naturally not let go, and they are also staring at Yicheng all the time, as long as there is a chance to recapture Yicheng and look north at Xiangyang, then there will be a bridgehead.

Therefore, the population inspection of entering Yicheng has also become much more rigorous.

But Mu Jing and his party, the road guidance is true, and it is naturally easy for the city gate guards to deal with these things, and they can enter Yicheng smoothly.

From Yufu to the north, it feels like a return to the primitive era all the way.

After arriving in Yicheng, Mujing only had a little feeling, back to this era, Yicheng is very lively, there are many businessmen coming and going, not only strategic places, but also important places for trade routes from the south to the north.

Before entering Nanyang, Mu Jing didn't plan to reveal his identity, and when he went to Xiangyang, he just wanted to visit the situation in Xiangyang privately.

Yangyang-gun is a newly established county.

The people of Xiangyang are also from Jingzhou, and Jingzhou has a great resistance to Mujing, if it weren't for the fact that Mujing used Cai Tu and governed Xiangyang with the strategy of Jingzhou people governing Jingzhou people, Xiangyang would probably be even more resistant.

But even so, Mu Jing also believed that Jingzhou's hostility to the Ming Marquis Mansion still existed.

So he wants to feel these hostilities in person, so that he can be more confident to govern Xiangyang, don't underestimate Xiangyang, this is equivalent to a small version of Jingzhou, as long as Xiangyang is well governed, he will be able to eat Jingzhou in the future.

In Yicheng, the pastoral scene stayed for a day.

On this day, I walked some places, sat down, listened, smelled, but there was nothing that interested him, micro-service private visits, and he could see local problems as a common person, but the disadvantage was that many things could not be touched.

The people may have heard about the things above the county government, but most of them are hidden, and those who care about their three meals a day will not concentrate on inquiring about the affairs of the county government.

But there is nothing special, it is a good thing, which shows that Yicheng is still a country and a country.

The style of the people is already the level of governance of a place, and the pastoral scenery enters the city, and does not feel too much frustration and helplessness, on the contrary, the city is vibrant, and the people are still enthusiastic about life.

As long as this is clearly understood, it is already certain that the incumbents are capable.

Yicheng went north, took the official road of the west line, which was an official road leading directly to Zhonglu County, and it took less than half a day to enter Zhonglu County, which was a little less lively than Yicheng, but a little more reader's atmosphere.

Xiangyang, which is adjacent to Zhonglu County, is located in the southwest of Xiangyang, and has close contacts with Xiangyang.

After Zhonglu County, it is the best choice to take a boat to Xiangyang, the waterways around Xiangyang are dense, the shipping is developed, there are cargo ships coming and going, there are also some manned passenger ships, which can go directly to the city of Xiangyang.

There are more than 20 people in Mujing's group, but there are more than 20 horses, and it is the best choice to charter a boat.

It took less than a day to go north by boat, and it was already close to Xiangyang.

"What's up ahead?"

At this time, it was already noon, Mu Jing looked up and looked at a mountain in front of him, some of which were familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Young Master, that's Lumen Mountain!"

Jiang Wan replied.

"Yes!"

Mu Jing came to his senses all of a sudden, he had been to Lumen Mountain, but he had gone to Lumen Mountain from Xiangyang before, and from the north, he still had a little impression, and he couldn't remember the faint peak on the river in the south.

"Since you're here, let's go and have a look, and visit a few great Confucians!"

Mu Jing thought about it and said in a deep voice.

"In that case, the lord will inevitably reveal his identity!" Jin Jiu was a little worried.

"It's okay, when you get here, hide it, it's useless, it's exposed, you can't enter the door, if it spreads, it will undoubtedly be a contempt for Lumen Mountain, those Confucians, I still admire them, they are not selfish, no matter what their position is, they have the heart of serving the country and the people, and they should be respected!"

"But ......"

Mu Jing waved his hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Huo is in Xiangyang, and he has a master of six doors under his command, so I'm really not at ease, just let him bring someone to protect him!" ”

"No!"

Jin Jiu nodded.

At a wharf, everyone went ashore, rode their horses for a quarter of an hour, and had already gone up to Lumen Mountain.
