Chapter 139: Falling Cloud Pass

(Please support genuine reading, the subscription is not more than 100, the author is about to cry!!) Woooooo )

On February 11 of the sixteenth year of Yongzhi, Luoyun Pass.

As a fortress of the Ming Dynasty, the reason why Luoyun Pass has this name is because Luoyun Pass is an open place inside and outside, and it seems that the wall of Luoyun Pass is connected to the blue sky, as if the clouds are going to fall on the city pass.

Hu Weide has not stopped in the past few days, and Tai Xiwei has a total of 5,000 households, all of which have been visited by him.

And today is Hu Weide's last stop, inspecting the thousand households responsible for guarding Luoyun Pass.

In fact, the task of the entire Taixiwei is to garrison Luoyun Pass, but only this thousand households are stationed here for a long time.

Although the inside and outside of Luoyun Pass are open places, the city wall only extends to three miles away, which is a tall mountain range, so there is only this three-mile defense line that needs to be garrisoned.

After these days of inspections, Hu Weide did find some problems with Taixiwei.

But this is all what Wang Xiangzhen thinks, and it belongs to the self-evident unspoken rules in the Wei Institute, so Hu Weide will not be on the line.

What's more, the real purpose of his visit this time was not to investigate these in the first place.

Fortunately, he also made a major discovery in this regard, in order to hide people's eyes, he came to Luoyun Pass to inspect and do a full set of plays.

Hu Weide's thoughts Chen Xiaoting didn't know, he was traveling in the past few days, and followed Hu Weide around the various military camps in Taixi.

Following Hu Weide, Chen Xiaoting, under the leadership of a hundred households, ascended to the head of Luoyun Pass.

Standing on the city wall, there is a murderous atmosphere of the Gobi inside and outside the city pass, which reminds Chen Xiaoting of the poem "The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river".

At this time, in the urn city on the inner side of Luoyun Pass, there were caravans lined up, passing the inspection of the guards and heading out of the pass.

Looking at a road winding into the distance outside the gate, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help asking, "Are these caravans going out to do business?" ”

The hundred households who accompanied him arrived: "Lord Chen is right, from now on two hundred miles to the north, you can cross the Gobi and enter the grassland...... Many tribes over there are very fond of our Ming tea, silk and porcelain! ”

Chen Xiaoting frowned, and said, "There are not only grassland tribes over there, but also the Golden Horde, our great enemy of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"If someone transports such controlled things as salt and iron from Luoyun Pass to outside the Guan, wouldn't that be a traitor to the enemy?"

Chen Xiaoting's questioning scared this hundred households to death, and they are very responsible if such a thing happens.

So the hundred households immediately said: "Lord Chen, rest assured, these caravans will be strictly searched when they enter and exit the gate, and there will never be any prohibited items transported to the grassland!" ”

After saying this, the hundred households also wiped the cold sweat with their sleeves, and the black official uniform was even soaked.

There are different colors of official uniforms at all levels of Jinyi Guard, but even if the soldiers of the guard are seated in the command, they are all unified black official mansions, but the ornaments on the official uniforms are different.

Chen Xiaoting just said it casually, but he didn't expect to scare these hundred households, so he was relieved: "You are loyal to your duties, and you must not let this rebellious thing happen!" ”

Hearing Chen Xiaoting's words, this hundred households breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, in fact, this matter cannot withstand investigation.

If Chen Xiaoting asks for the closure of the urn city now, he may be able to find out some people under strict inspection, and no one can guarantee the businessmen's discipline.

Seeing that it was very uncomfortable for these hundred households to follow him, Chen Xiaoting said to him: "If Wang Baihu is fine, go to the urn city to supervise the work of his subordinates, and you don't need to accompany me here!" ”

Just because he was on an errand in Jinyiwei, even if there was a hundred households in front of him, Chen Xiaoting could still talk to him with a down-looking attitude.

"Yes, yes...... The people below will inevitably be negligent, and they must be spurred! ”

After this Wang Baihu laughed dryly, he went down to the city pass, dealing with Jinyiwei made him very uncomfortable, compared to which he would rather be reprimanded by Qianhu.

Standing on the edge of the city wall, Chen Xiaoting looked at the Gobi in the distance and said: "Who would have thought that after this grassless Gobi, there would be my Ming Dynasty's hundred-year-old enemy!" ”

Yun Qingfeng, who was standing on the side, answered: "My lord, the Golden Horde's heart to go south is immortal, and I heard that there is constant harassment in the land of Yuyang Shuo!" ”

Yuyang and Shuofang, two envoys of the Imperial Palace, bordered the steppe in the north and were often disturbed by the Golden Horde.

Chen Xiaoting sighed, but did not express an opinion on this, military affairs are not something he should ask about.

"I just hope that my Daming can sweep away the accumulated shortcomings and be like the sky!" Chen Xiaoting could only say.

After traveling for so long, Chen Xiaoting also has a little more understanding of the problems of the Ming Dynasty today.

Natural disasters are trivial matters, and the most fundamental thing is land annexation, which leads to the inability of the imperial court to collect taxes, which makes the Ming Dynasty's finances stretched.

Without money, many things can't be done, so the Golden Horde has repeatedly harassed, and the Ming can only passively defend.

Just as Chen Xiaoting was thinking about this, Hu Weide walked over to him, followed by Qianhu and Deputy Qianhu who commanded the servants and Luoyun Pass.

"Luoyun Pass has done a good job, it is all the credit of you, this official will report to the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and ask for credit to a few people!" Hu Weide said with a smile.

He said this nicely, but everyone just listened to what a seven-grade chief can do.

"Then I'll thank Master Hu for his kind words!" Tai Xiwei's commander also said with a smile.

After another compliment, Hu Weide separated from these people, and when they left, the smile on his face disappeared.

Chen Xiaoting took the initiative to walk over and said to Hu Weide: "My lord is full of spring breeze, I want to come here to gain a lot!" ”

Hu Weide did gain a lot, but he couldn't say it to Chen Xiaoting, so he sighed: "Without your Chen Xiaoqi's help, the errand is not easy to do!" ”

Not to mention, Hu Weide's current appearance makes Chen Xiaoting really unable to figure out his reality.

After all, Hu Weide came from afar, Tai Xiwei is not easy to deal with, and it is normal for Hu Weide to be deflated.

Chen Xiaoting said: "No matter how difficult it is, isn't Master Hu also finished, Tai Xiwei has been brushed up and down by you!" ”

"yes...... When you're done with your errand, it's time to leave! Hu Weide said.

Chen Xiaoting asked, "Is Master Hu going back to Liangzhou?" ”

The yamen of the Yongliang Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of War is set up in Liangzhou, and Hu Weide should return to Liangzhou.

But Hu Weide shook his head and said, "No, this official is going to Luyang City!" ”

To Luyang City? Chen Xiaoting was a little puzzled, it seems that the matter is not over yet!

But Chen Xiaoting didn't ask more, but said: "If the adults go to Luyang, you can let the hundred households send someone to escort you, and you will suffer another accident!" ”

This is indeed sincere, no matter what, what Hu Weide does is for the benefit of the country, although Chen Xiaoting does not participate, he hopes that he can succeed.

Therefore, Chen Xiaoting has not relaxed at all in the escort tasks these days, and the plan has been strictly formulated and implemented.

"No need, this time I returned empty-handed, I guess no one will beat my idea again, don't you say?" Hu Weide said with a smile on his face.

The people behind the scenes have already done it to Hu Weide once, and they must not dare to take the risk of doing it again, and their safety will indeed not be much of a problem.

Unless...... Hu Weide found out something!

At this time, Hu Weide turned around and faced outside the city pass, and only sighed: "Xiongguan is dangerous, the soldiers' mound...... Since ancient times, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have died under the city walls! ”

But after saying these words, Hu Weide continued: "But how many princes and generals are among the Son of Heaven here!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting wanted to ask Hu Weide: Are you a hero who died here, or a virtuous minister in the Tianzi Hall!
