Chapter 360 New Town

Chapter 360

In the twilight, the shadow of the wall of the new town appeared on the horizon. This small city is not an established city, but a fortress where thousands of households are located in the south of Bazhouwei. Over time, people have gathered, and the wall has become higher and higher, and it has become a scale. Bazhouwei is also stationed here with a thousand households, shouldering the responsibility of public security in Wen'anxiong County and other places.

is this projectile town, but now it has become a bustling place. The soldiers and horses of Bazhou Guard and Bazhou military officials gathered here to deal with Wen'an traitors more than 100 miles in the south.

Song Nan's 1,000 brocade cavalry lieutenant came outside the north gate of the new town. Before approaching the north gate of the fortress, a round of arrows were shot down at the head of the city. The brocade guards were caught off guard and panic. Fortunately, the soldiers and horses on the top of the city were only a warning shot, not to hurt people, but did not cause any harm.

Song Nan ordered to stabilize the formation and rushed to the city with his personal guards and Wanzhi Wang Yong and others. Zheng Da and Hou Dabiao were scolding at the head of the city. The torches flashed on the city, and hundreds of soldiers guarding the city stood as if they were facing a big enemy.

Song Nan ordered a few words. Hou Dabiao held torches in his empty hands and rushed forward. Someone at the head of the city shouted, "Who is here?"

Hou Dabiao said loudly, "We are waiting for the Jinyi Weiti who came from the capital to ride. Open the gate quickly."

There was a panic in the city. Soon after, an officer stood up and shouted, "Is there a brocade guard from the capital? What are you doing here?"

Hou Dabiao was tired and thirsty all the way. He was very angry and scolded, "Do you want to take care of my Jinyiwei's affairs? Why don't you open the gate? I missed my businessman and I want your life."

The officer was stricken and was still worried. After all, he opened his mouth and said, "It's not that we don't open the gate. We are ordered to guard the city and not open the gate in case the enemy sneaks into the city."

Hou Dabiao was even more angry and roared, "Aren Cai Meng to come out to see me. Damn it, it's really a bastard."

The officer guarding the city was stunned when he heard Cai Meng's name and said, "Do you know Cai Baihu?"

Hou Dabiao scolded angrily, "If you waste your mother's words, go and tell Cai Meng that Lord Song, the commander of the Jinyiwei government, will come in person. If he doesn't open the city gate after a raging incense, his 100 households will come to an end."

This sentence really worked. At tea time, I heard someone shouting loudly on the top of the city: "Your excellency. The humble position is Cai Meng of the 100 households in the new town under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei Qianhu in Bazhou. The brothers guarding the city are the officers and soldiers of the guard office. They are also ordered to do it. The humble position invites them to open the gate of the city."

After a while, the gate opened, and Cai Meng came out with several brocade flag officials to welcome him. Seeing Song Nan, everyone rolled down and bowed, and repeatedly complained that it was too late to welcome.

Song Nan has seen more than half of the thousands of households in Jinyiweiya. Cai Meng is a hundred households, but it is the first time to see him. At this moment, he said warmly, "Get up, can we go into the city?"

Cai Meng is a 30-year-old Kong Wuhanzi. When he heard the words, he quickly said, "Please, the people guarding the city are all a bunch of bastards. I will deal with them later."

Song Nan said, "They are also responsible."

After saying that, he urged the horse to move forward and enter the city under the guidance of Cai Meng. Hou Dabiao scold arrogantly: "Lao Cai, why is this mother's fortress closed at the gate? Are the soldiers and horses guarding the city stupid? It's just dark, and they are like grandchildren.

Cai Meng waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency, don't mention it. It's troublesome."

Song Nan interrupted lightly, "Is it that the anti-thief in Wen'an County is difficult to contain and has threatened the safety of the new town?"

Cai Meng sincerely praised: "Your Excellency Mingjian, it is precisely because of this that the news spread a few days ago can be seen by adults. The anti-thieves in Wen'an County have blown up. Chen Wei, who led more than 5,000 soldiers the other day, vowed to eliminate the anti-thieves, but he did not expect to encounter a frontal attack by thieves in the northern suburbs of Wen'an. The number of thieves actually reached more than 7,000, and relying on the danger of the terrain, they were stunned by the Bazhou guards at once; more than 2,000 people were killed and injured, Chen Wei almost got hit by the head of the bandit and fled back to the new town with the remaining 3,000 people. After coming back, he immediately ordered the gate to be closed and investigated; there was news everywhere that the thieves were about to attack the new town, and the people in the new town were panicked.

Everyone took a cold breath, and Song Nan sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's still a step late. This defeat is even more uncontrollable. What are you afraid of?"

Cai Meng said, "I just ordered someone to spread the news in the afternoon. I expected that Kuima could go to the capital to teach the adults tomorrow afternoon, but I didn't expect the adults to come here in person."

Song Nan said, "Thank you for your hard work. Have you suffered any damage to my riding in the Jinyiwei government?"

Cai Meng said, "That's not true. I have told more than 100 people to stand by at any time in the past two days. If the thieves really dare to attack here, we can't watch it, can we?"

Song Nan nodded and said, "Well done."

While talking, a thousand armored elites quickly passed through the Zhaimen Cave. On both sides of the wall and the road behind the Zhaimen, hundreds of Bazhou guards stared at this group of brocade guards without squinting. The officers and soldiers of the guard office were half envious of the brocade guards and looked at the tall horses. The weapons are well equipped, the armor is red and yellow, and the cloak behind him is full of energy. Looking at the gray vine armor on his body, it is simply humiliating.

The cavalry rumbled across the central street of the fortress, causing the residents upstairs and downstairs to peek out. Seeing the cavalry of the brigade galloping by, the people were happy and frightened. It seemed that there were reinforcements in the town. What was frightened was that since the reinforcements arrived, it showed that the news of the thieves attacking the city was true. .

The Yamen of Jinyiwei's 100 households in the new town is located at the east gate. There is a separate small square and a large government office. The large expansion movement of Jinyiwei's Yamen has suddenly made this 100 households with only more than 50 people full. The power of Jinyiwei in the middle of the court has increased and is also very useful in the locality. The Yamen of the new town Simply transfer a small area of the East City to the Jinyiwei station.

Even so, a thousand cavalry stationed in the Jinyi guard camp still seemed to be unbearable, so Cai Meng arranged to set up hundreds of simple tents in the small square at the gate of the government, and ordered the local brocade guards in the new town to live in the tent. The cavalry from the capital were placed in the relatively well-equipped barracks.

Song Nan was arranged to live in the yard of the back hall of the Jinyiwei government. There were four or five rooms in the small yard, which were all occupied by the bigwigs at all levels of Jinyiwei from Song Nan. For Cai Meng, this is an opportunity to perform, and he also did quite well. In less than two hours, the riding schools from Song Nan to the bottom have settled down. . When Song Nan came to the yard after taking a shower, a table of wine and vegetables was already placed in the yard.

Everyone sat down and ran around for several days, making Song Nan, who lived a comfortable life in Beijing, a little unsuffied. His two thighs were numb and sore. He secretly felt that if he was in the capital, he was probably lying on the cool mat at this time, and the little princess's soft hands were already pushing acid for himself. The pain is so much that I can only endure it here.

Cai Meng poured wine with attentive dishes. After drinking for a round, Zheng Da took the glass and said, "Meng Qianhu, the people here don't understand the rules. My family came to the new town, and none of the officials here came to visit. Didn't they say that the governor of Bazhou also came here with Bazhou Wei? And Chen Wei, who lost the battle, why didn't come to tell Commander Song about the situation? You came to lose face after defeating the war, didn't you?

The crowd laughed and Cai Meng said, "Vice Zheng is annoyed. I'm afraid that they have just got the news. The government government just sent someone to ask about the situation, and the humble position has told them truthfully. I'm afraid they will come to visit in a moment. They dare to neglect Lord Song, and I don't agree.

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "We are not here to pretend. Whether they come to visit us or not, we all have to do our own business. The Jinyiwei Government Office has to keep a distance from the local state government office. If we fight with them, how can we detect the news and how can we trouble them?"

Cai Meng smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Excellency's lesson is."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Of course, it's not that we don't get along with each other. We still need to maintain proper contact and communication. I mean that only by maintaining the independence of our brocade guards can we have a deterrent and better exercise our responsibilities."

Everyone understands what Song Nan means. This is the principle of Jinyiwei Yamen that Song Nan has always emphasized. Keep an appropriate distance so as not to be too close to the government army. If there is really something wrong, it will not be able to do it, and it is easy to breed cancers such as covering up corruption.

After three rounds of drinking, a flag school came to report that Qi Zhichun and the commander of Bazhou Weilai led a group of officials to visit. Song Nan smiled and knew that these guys would definitely come from the capital. The reason for coming was unknown, which must have scared them.

Qi Zhichun and Chen Wei rushed into the small yard with more than a dozen officials and crowded the small yard. After the salute, Song Nan still sat at the wine table and said, "Excuse me, I'm really hungry all the way. You must have eaten, so I won't let you. , I'm talking while eating us. It's not abrupt.

Qi Zhichun hurriedly said, "What did you say? I've heard that Song's command is famous for a long time, but I didn't expect to come to Xiaoxin Town. It's really an honor for us. If I had known the hard work, I shouldn't have bothered you. Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet for the adults. I hope you can appreciate your face."

Chen Wei stood aside without saying a word. He lied about the military situation and had just suffered a defeat. However, Song Nan, the commander of Jinyiwei, suddenly came to Bazhou City and was muttering in his heart that he was not in the mood to consider anything abrupt.

Song Nan said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat tomorrow. You adults are here just in time. I'm trying to seize the time to understand the situation of some Wen'an rebels; Cai Baihu, why don't you bring some stools and chairs to let you sit down?"

Cai Meng scratched his head and said, "There are no stools and chairs. The stools and chairs in our government are all taken away to set up tents. Why don't you sit on the floor?"

Qi Zhichun said quickly, "No, let's just stand and talk."

Song Nan said, "What's wrong with standing?"

Qi Zhichun and others said, "What's wrong?"

Song Nan nodded and ate a few mouthfuls of wine and vegetables. A team of Bazhou officials stood aside with their hands, like a primary school student being reprimanded. Wan Zhiwang Yonghou Dabiao and others smiled secretly. Song commanded this faction, and there were no these guys in his eyes at all. No one could be so arrogant when he came to the place. Jinyi Wei Yamen still has a face, but Lord Song is not a bird. Liu Jin, who everyone looks at, can't help himself, not to mention these little ones below.
