The civil official arched his hand suspiciously and said: "The next official is the Suzhou Tun soldier who sentenced Huang Dacan, dare to ask why the two chief soldiers are here?" ”

Pei Lao Ruffian couldn't help grinning, as expected, the sour man in front of him was just a mere six-grade general judgment, and it was also a general judgment of the soldiers under Suzhou Wei.

It is necessary to explain here that the so-called general judgment is the official position of the six grades under the state government, in charge of water conservancy, shipping, litigation, etc., with the responsibility of supervising the officials of the state government, so although the position of the general judgment is not high, the power is not small, just like the six departments to give things, although there are only seven grades, but there is the power to refute and cancel the six official documents, so it is said that the small system is a major feature of the official system of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, when Xu Jin was fighting against King Ning in Jiangxi, Sun Sui appointed him as the general judge of Guangxin Mansion before his death, and controlled the soldiers and horses of several counties.

So what is the general judgment of the soldiers?

The so-called general judgment of the garrison is actually the general judgment under the local guard, the civilian official who is specially responsible for military and civilian litigation, and the assistant officer of the commander of the guard.

Due to the frequent wars, border prefectures and counties such as Suzhou and Ganzhou will not set up administrative organs such as prefecture and county governments, that is, there is no administrative team of prefectures and counties, and military control is practiced all year round, and the generals of the guard offices are all in charge of military politics and law.

For example, in Suzhou, there is only a Suzhou Guard, and the Wei Commander is not only the supreme military commander, but also the highest administrator, but the Wei Commander is a military attaché, and you let him try the case and investigate the case in a serious manner, and he doesn't have to do anything else, so at this time, he needs an auxiliary officer to help deal with daily litigation cases.

Huang Dacan...... Does this name sound familiar? Xie Sangun muttered secretly in his heart, and replied: "The general soldier and the general soldier Pei are currently serving under the command of General Pingyu and Xu Jin, the Duke of Yasukuo, and they are chasing and killing the Tatar Khan all the way to this point, and I happened to see the beacon warning, so I came to check, but I didn't expect Jiayuguan to be broken by the Tulupan people." ”

Huang Dacan was shocked when he heard this, his face turned red, he looked very excited, and blurted out: "Brother Ziqian is here?" Where is he now? ”

Pei Lao Ruffian's face sank, and he reprimanded sharply: "Bold, just a six-grade judgment An dares to call the handsome table, and he also recognizes his brother and recognises his brother!" ”

Huang Dacan frowned, and arched his hand without being humble or arrogant: "General Pei, Xia Guan and Yasukuni Duke Xu Ziqian are both classmates and friends, and they are also fellow Jinshi, why can't you call Brother Ziqian?" ”

Pei Lao Ruffian couldn't help grinning like a toothache, and re-examined Huang Dacan, this grizzled six-grade petty official would be a classmate and friend of Dashuai, or a fellow Jinshi, this is a mixed ...... The gap is too big, right?

Xie Sangun's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration, and he said with a smile: "This chief soldier remembers, is Huang Tong's judgment a little cloudy?" When I participated in the prefectural and hospital examinations with my brother-in-law in Jiangxi? ”

Huang Dacan was stunned for a moment, then carefully examined Xie Sangun again, and hesitated: "Could it be that Xie Zongbing is Brother Ziqian's brother-in-law, the little boy with a tiger's head back then?" ”

Xie Sangun laughed and said: "Isn't it me, Xie Xiaowan is my sister, I really don't meet in life!" ”

Huang Dacan couldn't help but suddenly realize: "I see, no wonder it looks a little familiar." ”

I don't know if readers still remember Huang Dacan, an honest man, who is honest, but in fact he is a showy person, down-to-earth and hardworking, with good character, Xu Jin admired him very much back then.

It is said that in Shangrao, Jiangxi, Huang Dacan was one of Xu Jin's classmates, and Xu Jin participated in the scientific examination together, although the results of each exam were in the middle and lower reaches, but they were very stable, and some of the better than him were defeated halfway, but Huang Dacan accompanied Xu Jin all the way through the test, and finally won the title of the gold list.

However, Huang Dacan's palace examination results were also not very good, and he only got a Tongjinshi background, and finally was sent to Suzhou as a judge by the officials, and his rank was only from the seventh grade.

At that time, everyone persuaded Huang Dacan to give up and continue to wait for vacancies in the ministry, but Huang Dacan happily went to work, and on the day of departure, Xu Jin also set up a banquet for him to practice, and chanted the poem "Just a classmate is a young man, and he is in his prime". Now six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the honest man Huang Dacan has also worked in Suzhou, a poor place in a panic, for six years.

As the so-called hard work pays off, because of his excellent work, Huang Dacan was rated excellent in the history department assessment every three years, and was promoted from a judge of the seventh grade to a general judge of the sixth grade.

Of course, this "achievement" is not worth mentioning compared to Xu Jin, but don't forget, there are few rocket cadres like Xu Jin, and there are few people in the entire Ming Dynasty, and Huang Dacan, who has no background and does not have dazzling results in the imperial examination, can be promoted to two grades within six years, which can be said to be very good.

Pei Lao Ruffian couldn't help but swallow his saliva, the grizzled sour man in front of him was really a handsome classmate and friend, and he was also a fellow Jinshi, it was really ...... Don't be a man!

Huang Dacan looked at Xie Sangun, who was more than two meters tall in front of him, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart, time flies so fast, it has been six years in the blink of an eye, and the hairy boy back then has become the chief soldier of a town!

With Xu Jin's relationship, Pei Lao Ruffian didn't dare to despise Huang Dacan, and arched his hand and said politely: "Huang Tongju, what's going on?" Jiayuguan has a dangerous terrain, strong city defense, and is known as the first Xiongguan in the world, why was it captured by hundreds of Turpan people? ”

Huang Dacan sighed and said, "Xiao Guerrilla is young and vigorous!" ”

It turned out that Xiao Yu, the guerrilla general responsible for guarding Jiayuguan, was a new branch of martial arts, and he was transferred to Jiayuguan for only half a month, at the age of twenty-six, he was young and vigorous, and this person also had a bit of literary and youthful feelings.

Finally, the opportunity came, early this morning, a 300-strong Tulupan army came to attack, plundering the villages and towns outside the city, this Xiao guerrilla detective found that the enemy was only 300, not surprised, but rejoiced, immediately ordered a thousand defenders, and couldn't wait to go out of the pass to meet the battle.

It is said that the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, which is actually a derogatory term, describing a person's courage, in fact, comes from ignorance, ignorance and fearlessness. This Xiao guerrilla is ignorant and fearless, and as a result, he was taught to be a man as soon as he left the city, and he was ambushed by the Turpan people, and the whole army was wiped out, and even he himself was killed on the spot.

In fact, the 300 plundering Turpan soldiers were just a bait, and there were 20,000 cavalry troops in ambush behind, after Xiao's guerrilla attack was wiped out, the main army of Turpan immediately launched a fierce attack on Jiayuguan, due to the emptiness of troops in the city, coupled with the Turpan people who came prepared, only less than an hour, Jiayuguan City fell.

After the Turpan army captured Jiayuguan, only a small part of the troops were left to clear the remnants of the defenders in the city, and the rest of the people went straight to Suzhou, because Jiayuguan was only a pass, there was not much oil and water, and Suzhou City and Ganzhou City were their targets. Because of this, after Xie San shot into the city, he found that there were not many Turpan soldiers in the city.

After Xie Sangun and Pei Lao Ruffian listened to Huang Dacan's narration, they looked at each other with solemn faces, and the former couldn't help asking, "Then why is Huang Tong's sentence here?" ”

Huang Dacan explained: "There was a civil-military dispute in Jiayu Pass, and the official happened to come to mediate, by the way, the main force of the Turpan people has left for about half an hour, and it is estimated that they are attacking Suzhou City at the moment. ”

At that moment, Xie Sangun and Pei Xingjin no longer hesitated, and sent 1,000 people to stay at Jiayu Pass, and then rode horses to aid Suzhou City.

Suzhou City is not far from Jiayuguan, only about ten miles, and it takes about ten minutes to ride a horse. Sure enough, when Xie Sangun and Pei Xingjin led 8,000 cavalry to Suzhou City, the Turpan army was launching a fierce attack on Suzhou City.

Obviously, the Turpan people came prepared this time, not only with more than 30,000 troops, but also with a large number of siege equipment and even artillery.

I saw a rain of arrows pouring down on the city, and the stones thrown by the stone throwers roared into the city, and even the attic above the city gate was half smashed, and the defenders at the head of the city were so overwhelmed by the fierce fire that they couldn't lift their heads, and the situation looked very bad.

It is said that it is Suzhou Wei who is stationed in the city at this moment, that is to say, there are 5,600 people when the army is full, and in fact, it is impossible for the soldiers of the Ming District Guard to be full, and the phenomenon of empty salaries is very common, Suzhou Wei is naturally no exception, there are less than 4,000 people in the whole guard, and some of them are still old and weak, at this time they were attacked by 30,000 Turpan elites, and they were immediately overstretched.

The commander of Suzhou Wei is named Wu Changwei, but this guy is not powerful at all, his face is pale at the moment, and he is walking around restlessly, he has already sent someone to Ganzhou for help, and is anxiously waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering shout outside the city, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the teacups on the table.

Wu Changwei's face turned even paler when he heard this, it's over, how many troops did Man Suer Khan send this time?

"Lord Commander, reinforcements are coming, haha, our reinforcements are coming!" A pro-soldier happily ran in and reported loudly.

Wu Weichang jumped up as if he had returned to his soul in an instant, and suddenly frowned again and said suspiciously: "The reinforcements from Ganzhou came so quickly, are you sure you are right?" ”

The soldier replied with a strange look: "The reinforcements are not from the direction of Ganzhou, but from the direction of Jiayuguan, and the subordinates dare to take the head guarantee, it is indeed our people, and now they have fought with the Turpan people. ”

Wu Changwei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, reinforcements from Jiayuguan? How can it be? At that moment, he led all his soldiers to the city quickly.
