Chapter 354 Madam, your sword!

"Then~" Yang Zhengshan was a little confused.

He didn't expect that the court would ask him to be the commander-in-chief of Chongshan Town. He thought the court would choose a new commander-in-chief from elsewhere instead of directly appointing him as the commander-in-chief. After all, he was just a guard commander before. The commander-in-chief of border towns is usually the commander-in-chief.

He is actually a bit underqualified for holding the official position of Governor Qianshi!

However, if you think about it, you will understand that promoting him to the Governor Qianshi is already a two-level promotion. If he is promoted to the Governor's Tongzhi, it is a three-level promotion.

What an exaggeration!

Yang Zhengshan thought for a while and felt that it would be good for him to be the commander-in-chief.

If someone else were to do it, he would still need to worry about the thoughts of the new commander-in-chief, but now that he is the commander-in-chief, everything in Chongshan Town must be dominated by him!

No, there is a governor here!

"What orders does Pang Pang have for the current situation in Chongshan Town?" Yang Zhengshan looked at Pang Tang.

Old boy, don't give me blind orders at this time, otherwise I won't care whether you are the governor or not.

Now is not the time to act recklessly. Although he thinks Pang Tang is a good person, he does not believe that Pang Tang has any military talents. It is better for him to do it himself than to let Pang Tang blindly command.

Pang Tang looked at the smiling Yang Zhengshan, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "I don't have any orders. I have ordered all the prefectures and states under the Chief Secretary of Liaoyuan to prepare grain and grass. It will take about three to five days for the first batch of grain and grass to arrive at Tenglong Guard! "

Yang Zhengshan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, this is a timely blessing. The general has been worrying about food and grass these past few days!"

Well, he is just telling lies with his eyes open.

The amount of grain and grass that the Chief Secretary of Liaoyuan can mobilize is probably not as much as the grain and grass stored by Tenglong Guard.

What's more, Tenglongwei also has a large number of merchant ships. As long as Yang Zhengshan needs it, Tenglongwei's merchantmen can immediately go to the south of the Yangtze River and bring back more than a dozen ships of grain and grass within ten days.

Therefore, what Yang Zhengshan has nothing to worry about now is food and grass.

"By the way, Mr. Cui, what is the position of the commander of the Tenglong Guard?"

Cui Langzhong shook his head slightly, "There are no appointments in the court for the time being. General Yang can take up the concurrent post first. After the matter in Chongshan Town is resolved, there is no rush to consider this matter again!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded, which is understandable. If he was relieved of his position as the commander of the Tenglong Guard now, he would not have a single soldier under his command!

"But the new supervisor, Eunuch Li, is already on his way. General Yang may need to receive him then!" Cui Langzhong said again.

"Eunuch Li?" Yang Zhengshan frowned slightly.

Cui Langzhong looked at Pang Tang, "He's the prince's friend!"

Yang Zhengshan and Pang Tang looked at each other and thought, this is a big trouble!

The use of eunuchs inside and outside the prison can be regarded as a characteristic of Da Rong. The emperor likes to use eunuchs to supervise military and political affairs.

There are guard eunuchs, sub-guard eunuchs and garrison eunuchs in border towns.

Some yamen also have admiral eunuchs, such as shipping eunuchs, warehouse eunuchs, tax envoys, mining supervisors, etc.

Moreover, this kind of situation inside and outside the prison is not controlled by the court. Whether there should be eunuchs to supervise the army and how much power the eunuchs have is entirely up to the emperor himself.

This creates a very unique situation, that is, some of the supervisory armies are just fake. For example, Lu Hua, the eunuch who guarded Chongshan Town before, is just a fake. He does not live in Chongshan Pass all the time, so naturally he has no intention to interfere in the affairs of Chongshan Pass.

However, the power of some military supervisors can compete with that of the governor and the commander-in-chief, and they can even command part of the army.

This caused a big problem. Originally, there was a governor at the head of the general army. If there was an additional supervisor, how much military power could the general army have?

If there is a war, whose orders should the soldiers follow?

Therefore, what the border town generals hate most is the supervisory army.

Similarly, Yang Zhengshan did not like supervising the army.

What's more, this supervisor is someone sent by the prince!

However, he couldn't stop the arrival of the supervisory army. He could only wait for the supervisory army to arrive and take a look.

After talking about business, Pang Tang and Cui Langzhong went to rest. Early the next morning, they left the camp and returned to Tenglong Guard.

Next, Pang Tang had to supervise the food and grass matters, and also recruited civilians to ensure logistics for Yang Zhengshan. He did not have time to stay in the camp.

However, he planned to get to know the situation of Tenglong Guard first and see what Tenglong Guard needed now, so he planned to stay in Tenglong Guard for two days.

As for Cui Langzhong, he was exhausted from traveling all the way and the camp was not suitable for rest, so he also went back to Tenglongwei to rest.

As soon as Yang Zhengshan got the official seal and flag, he issued more than a dozen orders.

First, Tang Feihu and Niuzhuang were ordered to lead reinforcement battalions to join him, and secondly, they were ordered to garrison the cities and guard posts to defend the city.

The forces of the garrison and the guard post were too scattered and difficult to integrate in a short period of time. Yang Zhengshan had no choice but to abandon them.

In contrast, the reinforcement battalions under Tang Feihu and Niuzhuang have complete structures. As long as they come over, the strength of Yang Zhengshan's troops will immediately more than double.

Tenglongwei.

When Pang Tang and Cui Lang came back, Han Fei was responsible for receiving them, and arranged for them the best courtyard in the yamen, the best cook, and more than a dozen servants to serve them.

There is no need for Pang Tang to say more. From now on, he will be Yang Zhengshan's immediate boss, and he will naturally take good care of him.

Although Cui Langzhong's official position is not high, he is the doctor of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and no one in the entire Tenglong Guard dares to treat him lightly.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan led the troops outside, and all affairs of the Yamen were handled by Han Fei, Zhou Ren and Lu Wenhua.

Not long after Pang Tang and Cui Langzhong returned to Weicheng, a cavalry galloped from the west along the official road. There were more than 3,000 cavalrymen in this cavalry, of which more than 1,000 in front were armored cavalrymen, and the 2,000 in the back were light cavalrymen wearing leather armor.

The 3,000 cavalrymen did not have any flags, but just kept on going.

Many military households along the way showed surprised expressions when they saw this, but they did not doubt anything, just thought that these cavalrymen were transferred from other places.

However, the fact that ordinary military households did not doubt did not mean that others did not doubt.

After the cavalry passed, several officials of the Qianhu Office frowned when they heard the news.

No flags?

This is obviously abnormal!

Even if it is cavalrymen coming from other places, there should be flags!

And in addition to Tenglongwei in Liaodong, where else can there be so many cavalrymen?

It can't be from Kyoto!

The deputy Qianhu who stayed behind in the Qianhu Office had some doubts in his heart, so he sent people to Weicheng to investigate.

If nothing happened, then everything would be fine. If something happened, they could rush to help in time.

However, before the men they sent out could catch up with the cavalry, the cavalry had already arrived at the Acropolis.

The three thousand cavalrymen were getting faster and faster as they approached the Acropolis. The sound of horse hooves was like a dull thunder, and the dust was rolling like a large dark cloud.

At the west gate, the soldiers guarding the gate changed their faces when they saw this.

"Quick, quick, close the gate!"

The flag officer guarding the gate did not hesitate at all and immediately led the soldiers to close the gate.

Such aggressive cavalry was obviously not a friendly army!

If a friendly army came, it would not gallop at all, because it would easily cause misunderstanding if it galloped over.

The gate was closed, and bursts of rallies sounded on the wall. In just a moment, the rallies spread throughout the Acropolis, making the originally quiet Acropolis noisy.

A large number of soldiers walked up to the wall, and the Weisi Yamen was soon reported.

After receiving the report, Han Fei looked solemn and immediately ordered the soldiers around him: "I will go to the city wall first, you come to the master immediately!"

The master he mentioned is Yang Mingcheng.

Although Yang Mingcheng has no official position, he is the eldest son of the Yang family. Now Yang Zhengshan, Yang Mingzhi, and Yang Minghao are not in the city, so Han Fei can only ask Yang Mingcheng to make the decision.

And the most important thing is that the most powerful force in Weicheng is not the 1,000 soldiers left behind, but the Yang family.

Han Fei gave an order and hurriedly ran towards the west gate.

And the soldier also hurriedly ran to the Yang family.

But before he entered the Yang family, Yang Mingcheng walked out of the Yang family gate.

"The boy greets the master, master, Master Han invites the master to the west gate!" The soldier hurriedly reported.

Yang Mingcheng nodded calmly and said, "Wait for me a moment!"

He turned around and went back to the mansion. Since Han Fei sent someone to invite him, it means that there may be an enemy attack. If it was just a matter of the government, Han Fei would not invite him over.

After returning to the mansion, Yang Mingcheng immediately summoned a group of guards, took weapons, and prepared to go to the city wall to see the situation.

"Mingcheng, what happened?"

At this time, Yu Qingyi came to the front yard and looked at Yang Mingcheng and asked.

Yang Mingcheng said, "Mother, there may be an enemy attack. I'll go and see first!"

Yu Qingyi said, "That's great, I'll go and see together!"

"Madam Song, you stay and take care of Mingzhao! Hongyun can go with me!"

Madam Song nodded and handed the long sword in her hand to Yu Qingyi, "Madam, your sword!"

"Yes!"

Yu Qingyi took the long sword and immediately led Yang Mingcheng and a group of guards out of the mansion.

When they arrived at the west gate, the cavalry outside the city had stopped, and many cavalry were surrounding the city to investigate.

"I greet the madam, and I meet the master!" Han Fei was relieved when he saw Yu Qingyi and Yang Mingcheng coming.

Yu Qingyi looked at the cavalry outside the city and asked, "Where did these cavalry come from?"

"From the west, they didn't come to negotiate with us, so they must be enemies!" Han Fei said.

Yu Qingyi looked at the cavalry calmly and continued to ask, "How many cavalry are there?"

"There should be about three thousand!" Han Fei said.

"Three thousand!" Yu Qingyi turned his head and said to Yang Mingcheng, "Mingcheng, go back and distribute weapons to the servants and maids at home, so that they are ready for battle!"

The Yang family has a rule that all servants and maids must practice martial arts, even those who are older, and they must practice with them. Even if they cannot become warriors, they can strengthen their bodies.

Now there are more than three hundred servants and maids in the Yang family mansion, half of whom are warriors, and there are many acquired warriors among them.

That's right, there are many post-natal warriors among the servants of the Yang family. The Yang family is so extravagant.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. The spiritual spring water that the Yang family servants drink is no less than that of the Five Military Camps.

It has been less than five years since Yang Zhengshan established the Five Military Camps, but many of the Yang family servants have lived in the Yang family for more than ten years.

After more than ten years in the Yang family, if the cultivation level has not reached the third level of the post-natal, it can only be said that the talent is average.
