The Yamen of the Datong Prefect, and more than a dozen civil officials from the entire Datong Mansion, from the prefect Li Wenxuan, sat on the seats on both sides of the hall in turn according to their ranks. As for the prefect Li Wenxuan, he sat on the main seat of the lobby with an iron face, with a gloomy face and did not say a word.

The atmosphere in the entire prefect's lobby also became more and more dignified because Li Wenxuan did not speak.

"Bang ......"

When he was in the city gate tower today, in front of all the civil officials and military generals in Datong, the picture of himself being humiliated by Wei Zheng resurfaced in Li Wenxuan's mind. Li Wenxuan's clenched fist was like a hammer, slamming on the desk next to the seat.

Then, with a face full of anger, he shouted: "Wei Zheng, this puppet, dares to humiliate me in front of so many people and ignore me...... It's hateful......"

The opening of the prefect Li Wenxuan was like a stone thrown into the calm water, and it suddenly opened the chatterbox of his subordinates.

Sitting under the abdomen of the first place, it is also the highest grade Datong Mansion Tongzhi in the lobby except for Li Wenxuan. With a face full of anger, he followed and said, "Your Excellency is right, this Lord Wei is really too arrogant. I don't even look at you, my lord, and all the civil officials in our Datong Mansion. ”

As soon as the words fell, a Qipin county order followed closely and said: "My lord, it has been several years since I came to Datong Mansion with a humble position, and I have never seen the general soldier ignore our civil officials so much. If the arrogance of these military attaches is not suppressed, it will not be long before the officials of Datong Mansion will only know about the general army, but not about you......, the prefect."

"Wang County's order is right, for the sake of our civil officials' status in Datong Mansion, we must suppress the arrogance of the general guard. Let the general guard bow to the prefect. ”

Some of the subordinates are instigated by sincerity. Really thinking about myself. But. There are also people who want to watch the excitement, or even fish in troubled waters, and want to watch themselves fight with Wei Zheng, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

However, Li Wenxuan knew in his heart that no matter what everyone's thoughts were, he had to react to what happened at the city gate today. Otherwise, his prestige in Datong Mansion in the future. will definitely be hit hard, and even become the laughing stock of the entire Ming officialdom and the object of ridicule of colleagues.

As a result, Li Wenxuan's face slowly showed a firm expression, and he ordered to the Tongzhi of Datong Mansion, who was attacking: "Inform all the officials and gentry in the city, starting today, all ...... Otherwise, it's against me Li Wenxuan......"

Two days later, with the unconditional cooperation of Adjutant General Zhang Wu, the Haw Par Army, which had thousands of troops, was stationed in Datong Province.

Now that the troops have arrived in Datong. Then the next thing is to discuss how to hold Datong Mansion and block the attack of Shaanxi rebels on Datong Mansion.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of subordinates. Wei Zheng directly as the chief soldier of Datong Mansion, began to issue a series of military orders after he took office: "Scout Battalion Commander Zhou Chenguang ......"

"Humble in the ......" Zhou Chenguang, who was dressed in iron armor, stood up from his seat with a solemn face. With the crisp impact of the iron armor scales, he reported loudly to Wei Zheng.

"You immediately select a hundred elite soldiers from the army to form the first scout battalion of my Haw Par Army, which I personally command. After the scout battalion was formed, I set off immediately, and I must monitor every move of the Shaanxi rebels. If there is an important situation, report it to me immediately......"

After speaking, Wei Zheng's gaze directly shifted to Zhang Wu, and he ordered Zhang Wu in his non-negotiable tone.

"General Zhang, the scouts of the original Datong Mansion defenders are all under the command of General Zhou, and they are all under the command of General Zhou, and they are included in the scout battalion that is about to be formed, to investigate the situation of the rebels, is there any problem......"

Under Wei Zheng's sharp gaze, Zhang Wu only hesitated for a second before answering loudly......

"The last general will obey the general's order...... After going down, the scouts of each battalion were immediately drawn out and handed over to General Zhou for command. ”

Hearing this, Wei Zheng's impression of Zhang Wu was even better. In addition, in the past two days, I have known Guò on the side to knock on the side to understand Zhang Wu. A bold idea had already unconsciously come to Wei Zheng's mind.

We must take Zhang Wu, who has never participated in the struggle in front of him and only thinks about fighting, for his own use. Not only that, but the thousands of former Datong defenders commanded by Zhang Wu also wanted to be included in the Tiger and Leopard Army......

Nodding with satisfaction to Zhang Wu, Wei Zheng was about to continue to give military orders. Wu Xin, who was in charge of the logistics of the Haw Par Army, suddenly walked in.

Under the gaze of everyone in the lobby, he walked quickly to the side of the military advisor Zhou Shuyuan and whispered something.

When Wu Xin left the hall of the General Military Mansion, Zhou Shuyuan's face had changed from calm at the beginning to solemn.

Before Wei Zheng could speak, Zhou Shuyuan had already taken the lead in reporting.

"General, our prefect has made a move......

"General Zhang is right, this prefect is really a person who will repay him. I was humiliated by us just two days ago, and now I am taking revenge on us......"

After a trace of murderous intent flashed from his face, Wei Zheng asked with a solemn face, "What is the specific matter?" ”

"General, this is the case. After having a station, the soldiers can no longer eat dry food, according to the law of our Tiger and Leopard Army, every two days to give the brothers an extra meal, eat a meal of meat. Even usually, the dishes and meals should be full. So, our logistics general, General Wu, led people into Datong City to buy vegetables and pork. ”

"However, what people didn't expect was that there was no merchant in the huge Datong Mansion who was willing to sell us vegetables and pork. What's more, after some merchants saw our Haw Par Army soldiers, they directly closed down their shops and didn't even let us in. ”

"You say, if it weren't for the Datong prefect to make a ghost for us, how could these merchants have money and not make money, and the entire Datong Mansion didn't sell anything to us......"

As soon as Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, Zhang Wu said with a firm expression: "My lord, I can be sure that this must be the prefect's ......."

Seeing the silent Wei Zheng in front of him, Zhang Wu continued: "My lord, this Li Wenxuan has been in office as the prefect of Datong for three years, and his relationship and power in our Datong Mansion can be said to be intertwined. Not to mention the relationship with the gentry and landlords of Datong Prefecture. The last general can say with certainty that in the entire Datong Mansion, only the prefect has this ability, and he can make all the merchants unite and not sell us anything......"

"Not surprisingly, the prefect must be trying to force you to bow to him. Sue us, in Datong Mansion, their group of civil officials are the real masters, and without them, we have an army in our hands, and we will not be able to survive. ”

As soon as Zhang Wu finished speaking, Zhao Yun, who had a straightforward temper, shouted loudly in the lobby with a face full of anger.

"Li Wenxuan, don't you know that the Shaanxi rebels are coming, and they are still intriguing with us at this time, isn't he afraid that Datong Mansion will be broken by the rebels?"

Then, as if he had thought of something, he continued to shout: "General, since these merchants wear a pair of pants with the prefect, look down on our Tiger and Leopard Army, and don't give us face in the Tiger and Leopard Army, then we will send troops to rob him of his dog's day." When we were outside the gates, we dared to rob the things of Dolgon the Tartars, not to mention the corrupt officials who had no power to make ends meet......"

Seeing that Zhao Yun in front of him was talking more and more, Wei Zheng had to interrupt and said, "Shut up for me...... We are officers and soldiers, not bandits, and if we really rob these shops, then we will fall for the prefect. When the time comes, one charge of arson and plunder will be enough for us......"

"Besides, those shops are threatened by the prefect so they don't dare to sell us, if we really set up for looting, then we will offend the merchants of the entire Datong Mansion."

"Do you know who are behind the merchants, the gentry and landlords of Datong Mansion? If we offend them, we really won't be able to gain a foothold in Datong Mansion. Unless we kill them all, is this possible? ”

Under Wei Zheng's series of questions, although Zhao Yun's heart was full of unwillingness, he had to admit what Wei Zheng said.

After a long sigh, he said to Wei Zheng with an aggrieved face: "But, general...... This is not good, that is not good, do we really have to bow to the prefect......"

Wei Zheng didn't answer, frowned and asked Zhang Wu: "General Zhang, you know the situation in Datong Mansion best, tell me if there is any way to solve this problem." ”

Zhang Wu shook his head and replied......

"I haven't thought of ...... yet"

"My lord, what I want to say is: the strength of our prefect in Datong Mansion is too strong, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it with words beyond imagination. It is safe to say that as long as the prefect speaks, the merchants in the entire Datong province will not sell us vegetables and pork because they are afraid that the prefect will not sell us. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Wu seems to have thought of something?

After a while, he continued: "If the general really wants a solution, then there is only one possibility? ”

"As long as we can get the prefect and let the prefect give an order, then all the shops will be open to our Tiger and Leopard Army, and then the problem will be solved."

A wry smile immediately appeared on Wei Zheng's face, and he said to Zhang Wu: "This is going around and around, or it is a detour to the prefect Li Wenxuan." It seems that the only way to find Li Wenxuan is ......"

Zhao Yun hurriedly shouted, "General, you really plan to bow your head to Li Wenxuan...... No, we can't bow our heads at anything. You are a military attaché of the third rank, and your rank is higher than him, you can order him to buy vegetables and pork for us......"

At this time, Zhou Shuyuan spoke.

Shaking his head, he said, "This idea is almost impossible to achieve. If he, Li Wenxuan, dares to do this, then there must be a solution. Go to him now, and we'll be shut up. (To be continued......)
