Chapter 1060 - As a last resort

Qinglong City, the camp in the south of the city.

On the colonel's field, the soldiers wearing Liaodong military uniforms were sweating and sweating for training, and Li Yuntian, accompanied by a cadre of generals, walked among the soldiers to test the success of the soldiers' training recently.

These soldiers wearing Liaodong military uniforms were the defenders transferred from Jiayuguan, and they were basically soldiers from the Northwest Zhudu Division, and they came to Qinglong City from Jiayuguan in a daze.

It wasn't until they entered Qinglong City that these soldiers knew that they had replaced the Liaodong Army to assist Li Yuntian in guarding Qinglong City, and they were not allowed to reveal their identities to the outside world.

In their eyes, Li Yuntian is not only a hero of the Ming Dynasty, but also an invincible and invincible god of war.

When he was in Jiayuguan, Zhou Zheng had already begun to train these soldiers who were recruited from the Northwest Zhudu Division, and the intensity of training increased a lot after arriving in Qinglong City, after all, if they want to shed less blood on the battlefield in the future, they must sweat more now and comprehensively improve their physical fitness and combat skills.

The soldiers in charge of training these soldiers are the people of the Xiaowu Army's Kansai Qinglong Battalion, and they already have a wealth of experience in the Kansai war, which can make the soldiers adapt to the Kansai battle as soon as possible.

Li Yuntian was very satisfied with the training of the soldiers, and according to his estimates, next year would be the time for a decisive battle with the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition forces, when these soldiers would have been reborn enough to fight the enemy head-on on the battlefield.

After the inspection, Li Yuntian changed into civilian clothes and led Lin Xin and others to inspect the city to observe the people's feelings, and only by grasping the movements of the people in the city could he make a better choice for the next step.

Although the neighborhoods were forbidden to travel to each other, the neighborhood was still very lively, and people continued to go about their lives as usual, and there was no panic in the slightest.

When the accompanying guards showed their passcodes, the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army who were in charge of guarding the junction of the blocks let them go one after another, allowing Li Yuntian to wander through the streets unhindered.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. "As I passed through a house, a woman's voice came from inside, sounding with a thick North Naoli accent.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. Then the house resounded with the sound of children reading aloud.

"If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching ......" Then, the female voice from before sounded again, reciting the "Three Character Sutra" in an orderly manner.

Li Yuntian felt very strange that there were people teaching in Chinese in Qinglong City, and because it was located in the Western Regions, the residents of Qinglong City still spoke the Western Regions dialect.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuntian pushed the door and walked into the house on the side of the road, and after entering the courtyard, he could see some children attending classes in a room, and a young girl dressed in Western costumes was teaching those children the "Three Character Classic" in Chinese.

"This son, who are you looking for?" Since Li Yuntian and the others broke in and stayed away, the girl from the Western Regions quickly discovered them, so she explained a few words to the children and let them study their homework freely, and then walked out of the room, bowing slightly to Li Yuntian, who was surrounded by everyone, and asked politely.

"Ben Gongzi was attracted by the sound of the children's reading, disturbing Mr.'s teaching, and looking at Haihan." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and said to the girl from the Western Regions.

"The son is serious, the little girl's father is the gentleman here, the father went to the pharmacy to grab medicine, and the little woman gave the children the "Three Character Classic" on behalf of her father." The girl from the Western Regions showed a crimson look on her cheeks, and explained to Li Yuntian embarrassedly.

"Preaching, teaching, and solving doubts, one of the three is satisfied, it can be said that a teacher is a person, and the girl does not have to be presumptuous, for those children, you are their husband." Li Yuntian shook his head with a smile, and then asked with interest, "The girl's Chinese dialect is good, I don't know where I learned it?" ”

"The little girl's father is the Ming clan, and he came to Kansai with the caravan during the Yongle period, and then stayed in Kansai and taught the little girl to speak Chinese." The girl from the Western Regions smiled slightly and explained the reason to Li Yuntian.

"I see." Li Yuntian's face showed a look of sudden realization, and then he asked with a smile, "I wonder if I can go in and see the children?" ”

"Childe, please." The girl from the Western Regions hesitated for a moment, looked up at the plainclothes guards who were following Li Yuntian with vigilant expressions and turned to one side, making way for Li Yuntian.

When Li Yuntian walked into the classroom, the children who were reading inside stopped one after another, looking at him curiously, not knowing who Li Yuntian was.

Lin Xin followed Li Yuntian into the classroom, and the rest of the guards guarded in the courtyard, secretly observing the surrounding movements, although Qinglong City was under the control of the Ming army, the situation in the city was complicated, and it was inevitable that there would be people with ill intentions who wanted to be unfavorable to Li Yuntian.

"Tell uncle, why did you come to study?" The children in the school are mainly from the Western Regions, and Han people are only a minority, Li Yuntian came to a child from the Western Regions and asked with a smile.

"My father wants me to inherit his business in the future, and if you want to do business, you must be literate so that you don't be deceived by others." The boy from the Western Regions replied solemnly.

"What about you?" Li Yuntian smiled and asked a child from the Western Regions next to him.

"I want to be a doctor so I can see my mother." The boy from the Western Regions replied without thinking.

"Why did you come here to study?" Li Yuntian smiled again, then walked up to a Han child and asked with a smile.

"My father said that only by studying hard can you pass the imperial examination and become an official of the imperial court in the future." The child's eyes flickered, and he looked at Li Yuntian curiously and asked, "Uncle, have you ever taken the imperial examination?" ”

"Of course my uncle passed the exam, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Kansai." Li Yuntian couldn't help laughing, compared to the two children in the Western Regions, the little guy in front of him had a more practical reading purpose.

"Do any of you know how many warrior troops there are in Blue Dragon City? Uncle who answers correctly will give you a small reward. Then, Li Yuntian took a pack of snacks from Lin Xin's hand, opened it and said to the children present with a smile.

Seeing this, the children's eyes flashed with a light of surprise, and many people secretly swallowed their saliva, while the girl from the Western Regions changed her complexion, with a look of surprise on her face.

"I know, I know, there are a total of 30,000 Xiaowu troops, 70,000 Liaodong troops, 20,000 Western Expeditionary Troops and 100,000 Guanxi troops in the city." Soon, the child from the Western Regions who said that he wanted to inherit his father's business took the lead in standing up and shouted at Li Yuntian.

"That's right, it's yours." Li Yuntian laughed when he heard this, and walked up to hand the bag of snacks to the child from the Western Regions, which made the children around him look at him with envy and jealousy.

"Uncle asks you, be happy alone, be happy with everyone, which is happy?" Looking at the child from the Western Regions who happily opened the snack package, Li Yuntian asked with a smile.

"Have fun with everyone!" The boy from the Western Regions thought about it solemnly, looked at the tempting snack in his hand, and then looked up and said to Li Yuntian.

"So what should you do?" Li Yuntian nodded with satisfaction and looked at the Western Regions child with a smile.

The child from the Western Regions stepped forward and distributed the snacks to the children on the scene in turn, making the children extremely happy and tasting the snacks with relish.

"What a good boy." Li Yuntian came to the girl from the Western Regions, looked at the child from the Western Regions who was distributing snacks, and said with a smile, "This is all the credit of you gentlemen. ”

"It's the kids who are smart." The girl from the Western Regions replied with a smile, and then sighed faintly, "If more children can enter the academy, their fate will be changed." ”

"yes." Li Yuntian nodded in agreement when he heard this, now only the children of the Xiaowu military families in Qinglong City can go to school for free to receive education, and the rest of the people cannot enjoy this treatment.

"Lots of interruptions." Then, Li Yuntian bowed slightly to the girl from the Western Regions, and led Lin Xin out of the school, and the girl from the Western Regions sent him outside the courtyard gate.

When the backs of Li Yuntian and his party disappeared into the street, the girl from the Western Regions had a cold face, and hurriedly walked into the courtyard, looking extremely anxious.

"Lord Wang, do you want to do it?" During the march, Lin Xin came to Li Yuntian's side and asked in a low voice.

"Do it." Li Yuntian nodded slightly after a deep sigh, and instructed in a deep voice, "This matter should be handled in a low-key manner, and don't make too much trouble." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xin bowed slightly, and invited a guard on the side to whisper a few words, and the guard left in a hurry.

"You say, wouldn't it be too ruthless for this king to do this?" Glancing at the guard's distant back, Li Yuntian's expression became a little gloomy.

"He has been exposed, even if we don't look for him, Beiyuan will kill him." Lin Xin knew that Li Yuntian was in a bad mood, so she opened her mouth to comfort her.

"Lord Wang, do you want to send someone to spy on that private school?" Then, Lin Xin thought of something and asked in a low voice.

"No!" Li Yuntian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Take the people from the private school to the government for investigation, and if there is no evidence to prove that they are Northern Yuan spies, they will be released." ”

"Understood, we're going to put a long line to catch big fish." A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Lin Xin's mouth, Li Yuntian wanted to keep his private school to catch bigger fish.

Not long after, Li Yuntian came to a private school in another city, and also asked the children in the school a few questions, the last one was how many troops there were in Qinglong City, but none of the children in this private school could answer.

The reason is very simple, the deployment of troops in Qinglong City belongs to high-level military intelligence, and ordinary people cannot access it at all.

In other words, any child who can answer the question of the strength of Qinglong City has a good chance that his family members are spies of the Northern Yuan or other forces in the Western Regions.

Therefore, when the Western Regions child answered the number of troops in Qinglong City, it had already caused a huge trouble for his family, and Lin Xin's previous request was to send someone to arrest the parents of the Western Regions child for interrogation.

This is something that Li Yuntian is very unwilling to see, he doesn't want to use an innocent child to achieve his goals, but for the safety of the residents of Qinglong City, he has to do this to find out the spies lurking in the city.
