In the Ming Dynasty, the Maritime Silk Road was really extremely prosperous. But Dong Ce didn't know that the land trade in the northwest frontier of the Ming Dynasty was also so developed.

In his impression, it seemed that the overland Silk Road had long been broken.

By the time I arrived at the Acropolis of Suzhou, it was already the eighth day of the sixth month.

In the original time and space of Dong Ce, in March of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Dolgon had already subdued the 1,500 herdsmen under the Baobao Fujin and his subordinates. In April, he subdued Sutai Fujin and Lin Dan Khan's son Ezhe.

But now they weren't so lucky. The grain and grass that the Fan family transported to Naturalization City were burned clean by Dong Ce, and after this incident, the Fan family didn't even know about it. Although Dolgon had already arrived in the city of Guihua, he could not continue at all due to the lack of food, so he had to stay in the local area, and then sent someone back to report to Huang Taiji and ask how the matter should be handled.

After all, the trouble is big, and he doesn't dare to make a decision alone, lest something go wrong and hit him on the head.

There is still some distance from the city, so Liu Ruozai kept sending people to report to the city. When he was still five miles away from the city, Dong Ce had already seen that there was smoke and dust rising in the distance, and a huge team was approaching this side.

When the team got closer, Dong Ce saw that almost all of the people in this group were cavalry, and there were hundreds of them.

And in the middle of the crowd were three people.

In front of these three people, some cavalrymen held banners in their hands, and some held official plaques in their hands. The distance is still a little far, and Dong Ce can't really see the appearance of the three of them. The words on the flags and official plaques held by the people in front of them were also blurry from this distance, and they couldn't tell what was written at all.

But Dong Ce can guess that since these three people are surrounded by everyone, they should be the three people with the highest status here. Needless to say, it was naturally the governor of Gansu, the general army of Gansu Town, and the commander of Shanxi Xingdu.

Seeing these three people, Liu Ruozai hurriedly ordered the team to stop, and after seeing it on the other side, he also asked the team to stop, and there was a distance of about ten zhang between the two teams.

Liu Ruozai got out of the carriage, turned over a horse, and then walked forward with Dong Ce and the others.

About three zhang away from the three adults, Liu Ruozai turned over and dismounted, and walked forward quickly. Dong Ce and the others naturally dismounted and followed behind him.

And after the three people on the opposite side saw Liu Ruozai dismounting, they also dismounted and came forward to greet them.

This time it was closer, and Dong Ce could really see it. The one in the middle of the three, tall and thin, about forty years old, was quite handsome, and he was wearing a four-grade civil official robe. The one on his left, about fifty years old, was not tall, but he was quite fat, with a round face, which looked like a rich man, and a very kind smile on his face. It's just that his appearance and expression don't match the clothes he wears, and this person is wearing the robe of a second-grade military attaché. The man standing on the right was not wearing an official robe, but an iron armor. This person is also about forty years old, with a majestic figure, but her appearance is quite ugly, and on her left and right cheeks, there is a nail-sized white shift, which makes people feel even more weird when they look at it.

Dong Ce couldn't help but look at it twice.

Since he has arrived at the ground of other people's houses, he naturally wants to know something about this place, and Dong Ce has already inquired clearly before he came over. Therefore, when you look at the dress of those three people, you can know who they are.

The four-rank civil official in the middle is Bai Yiqing, the governor of Gansu. His main position is the imperial history of the right capital, and he is a civil official of the fourth grade. The one on his left hand is Wang Wuluo, the commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, and he is the commander of the envoy, and he is a dignified second-class military attaché. As for the one on Bai Yiqing's right, it is Liu Daqi, the chief soldier of Gansu.

Liu Ruozai took two quick steps, walked in front of Bai Yiqing, and was about to kneel. That is naturally a presence, although the governor of Gansu is of a higher grade than him, but this time, he is the person in charge of this action, and he came with the emperor's order, and there is a faint meaning of Qincha, which can be said to be transcendent.

How dare Bai Yiqing let him kneel on his knees?

Before Liu Ruozai knelt down, Bai Yiqing firmly grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, no courtesy, no courtesy, you are trying to torment the old man!" ”

Liu Ruozai insisted on kneeling, but Bai Yiqing insisted on not letting him kneel, the two of them stalemate for a long time, and they made enough appearances, Liu Ruozai straightened up and said a few words with a smile.

Then, he saluted Wang Wuluo again, Wang Wuluo is a military attache of the second grade after all, and his grade is much higher than him, although Liu Ruozai doesn't take him very seriously, but he has to get by in the face after all.

"Haha, General Liu, look up for a long time!"

After saying a few words to Wang Wuluo, Liu Ruozai turned his head to look at Liu Daqi again, and said with a smile.

He had always been unapologetic to military generals, but this time the errand was very likely to use the soldiers of Gansu Town. Liu Daqi, the chief soldier of Gansu Town, will definitely not be able to bypass him, and in this matter, I am afraid that he will have to help him a lot, so Liu Ruozai is also very polite to him at this time.

On this occasion, there was no part for Dong Ce and the others to speak, so they honestly followed behind and watched. Liu Ruozai and the three of them exchanged a few words of greeting, Bai Yiqing said with a smile: "I learned that Lord Liu is coming, we have prepared a banquet in the city, Lord Liu, let's go over!" ”

Liu Ruozai naturally nodded yes, but he suddenly turned his head and pointed at Dong Ce and said, "Lord Bai, go down to the pass, take him with you, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Dong Ce was very surprised when he saw Liu Ruozai pointing at him and saying such a sentence, but after the surprise, there was a strong sense of gratitude. He knew that Liu Ruozai deliberately gave himself a long face in front of everyone to express his importance to himself, and also to make others pay more attention to himself. And bringing yourself to this kind of occasion, there is no doubt that it will give you a chance to meet more big people, which will be of considerable help to your future growth.

Dong Ce sighed secretly in his heart: Boss, you really have good intentions!

And Bai Yiqing and the others also looked at Dong Ce, and they didn't notice Dong Ce, but now when they heard Liu Ruozai say this, they all knew in their hearts that this young man was very important to Liu Ruozai.

"Absolutely." After taking a deep look at Dong Ce, Bai Yiqing smiled.

Wang Wuluo and Liu Daqi are both military generals, and although Bai Yiqing is a civilian official, he has always dealt with the army. Before serving as the governor of Gansu, his position was Xining Bingbeidao, and he was also in the army for a long time, so his riding skills were actually very good. This time, I came by neither a sedan chair nor a horse-drawn carriage, but on horseback.

After saying a few more words, Liu Ruozai and the three of them all turned over and walked side by side. Dong Ce was very conscious of riding a horse to follow behind, and like Tian Shi, Xie Dingkun and those family members, naturally someone took them to settle down first. Dong Ce was watching from the side just now, and found a very interesting thing, Wang Wuluo, a general, was out of breath when he got on the horse, and it was very difficult to get on the horse, and he was not as good as Bai Yiqing, a civil official. It can be seen that this royal commander is an envoy, but he is afraid that he has never fought much in his life. Thinking about it, now the guards in various places have fallen into disarray, they are all commanding envoys, and the guards are commanding officials like the guards in charge of the guards, and they are not so much military generals as businessmen or big landlords. In the past, the military households of the guard station have become their tenants, or the shops are miscellaneous and do things, and they have a lot of fields in their hands, and many people have many shops, and the business is very prosperous. From Shanxi to Suzhou, this way, Dong Ce has seen a lot of this situation.
