Volume Three, Chapter 25, Dilapidated

The Wanquandu Command and Command Division is the location of Xuanfu Town. This situation of only the Command and Command Division and the Executive Office of the Chengxuan Government rather than the Executive Office of the Secretariat and the Censorate Office of the Censorate were quite rare in the Ming Dynasty. Similar to the Command and Command Division of the Wanquandu Command Division, it seems that the Liaodong Command and Command Division was the command and command division.

Both border towns only have the Dusi Yamen, and there is no official announcement of the Government and the Criminal Censorship Office.

In other words, the Wanquandu Command and Command Department has no civil affairs organization, only military and political organizations.

In this case, the power of the Du Commander is greater. The Du Commander of Wanquan Du Division is almost a ban rank. Of course, the imperial court basically cannot allow a Du Commander to become an equivalent ban rank. Generally speaking, the imperial court will send a governor or an inspector to manage Xuanfu Town, and the commander can only listen to the governor or an inspector.

Yang Cong has been in Xuanfu Town for almost a month, and he hasn't seen Commander Wanquandu. This is not because he is arrogant and does not take him seriously, the inspector, mainly because the Commander Wanquandu is not in Xuanhua City, and the Commander has a lot of things to deal with every day. If Yang Cong doesn't invite others, he will naturally not come over to pay a visit, which will delay his own affairs.

The Wanquandu Commander Office is located in Wanquan County, which is the northwest corner of Xuanfu Town. If the Tatars attack, they will generally choose this area, which is equivalent to the front line of Xuanfu Town.

At around 10 o'clock that morning, outside the south gate of Wanquan County, there were more than 10,000 Tunwei in the three garrisons of Wanquan County, and more than 10,000 Tunwei in the three garrisons, including Wanquan's left guard, Wanquan Right guard, and Huaian Guard, who had almost come to the fullest. They lined up for several miles of square formation. The commander of Wanquan Du Wang Fuchen and the general of Xuanfu Li Fengming, also stood in front of the Tunwei in the square formation, waiting silently.

The inspector was coming to inspect, so they naturally did not dare to neglect them. After receiving the news from Xuanhua Prefecture City, they had already brought their personal guards and generals to wait.

At about a moment, the sound of horse hooves finally came from the southwest. The patrolman finally arrived. Wang Fuchen and Li Fengming couldn't help but look at each other, but there was no joy on their faces, and neither of them looked very good.

The county town of Xuanhua Prefecture is not far away, and it is only more than 80 miles in total. If you rush to the horse, it will be within an hour. Yang Cong got up early that day and arranged everything in Xuanhua Prefecture. He took a group of personal guards and more than a hundred Jinyiwei to set off.

The northwest the way, the more dilapidated it became. When it arrived in Wanquan County, Yang Cong actually saw many villages with broken walls and no figures were seen in the farmland everywhere, just like a ghost domain.

What does this Wang Fuchen mean? Is this how he governs the place?

Yang Cong felt a little unhappy, so when Wang Fuchen and Li Fengming came to greet him, his face was not very good either.

After the two sides had a greeting, he pointed to the Ten Thousand Tun Guards and said, "General Wang, does the number of Tun Guards here seem to be quite large? Why are the fields in many places deserted?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fuchen quickly explained: "Sir, I am afraid that the Tartar cavalry will rush in from which gap, and that if they plant food, they will be ruined."

You guys, this attitude is too negative. I didn't order the walls to clear the fields. You should just let so many farmlands be abandoned there.

Yang Cong said a little angrily: "What should I do if so much food rations for Tunwei?"

Wang Fuchen said carefully: "The last general has arranged their families to the south bank of the Yang River. The Tartar cavalry generally do not cross the Yang River south, so it is safer to farm there."

Yang Cong was speechless. After coordinating, this guy never thought about blocking the Tartar cavalry and preventing them from rushing into Xuanfu Town to rob.

He resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said to Li Fengming beside him: "General Li, this month is almost over. How are the war horses gathering?"

Li Fengming glanced at Wang Fuchen and said ashamed: "This, the last general has only gathered about 4,000 war horses."

Four thousand pieces are almost enough.

Yang Cong said lightly: "Okay, plus the original more than a thousand war horses in Xuanhua Prefecture City are almost enough. You can go to the Great Wall in the north to patrol and escort the war horses back."

Li Fengming really didn't expect that such a few war horses could get away with it. You should know that during the heyday of Xuanfu Town, there were nearly 80,000 war horses. At this moment, even 8,000 were not enough, so he was really shameless to go back.

Fortunately, the inspector was not so naive that he thought there were still tens of thousands of war horses in Xuanfu Town. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I will obey the order."

Yang Cong then said to Wang Fuchen: "General Wang, you gather all the guards here. What should you do if the Great Wall in the north? Don't you need someone to guard it?"

this.

Wang Fuchen explained awkwardly: "Sir, the Great Wall in the north is almost built on the mountains, and it is very inconvenient to transport food, grass and supplies. Therefore, the above generally does not send large troops to garrison all year round. Only when the news comes that the Tartars are coming will they send the army to garrison."

What he said seemed to be true. Yang Cong expressed serious doubts. He was afraid that he would not send people to guard the Great Wall at all, otherwise how could he be so negative that he "strengthening the wall and clearing the country."

Yang Cong shook his head secretly, then said lightly: "Oh, that's OK, let them part first, General Li and you accompany me to the north to take a look."

this!

Wang Fuchen said guiltily: "Sir, I'll work hard all the way, why don't you go to the city to rest first."

What does this guy mean?

Yang Cong said calmly: "It's a waste of rest. Let's go to the north first. You can prepare and we'll set off right away."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fuchen had to order people to disperse the Tunwei, and then led hundreds of personal guards to lead the way, leading Yang Cong and Li Fengming straight to the Great Wall north of Wanquan County.

Yang Cong ran to the Xinkaikou Great Wall north of Wanquan County and saw it, and immediately understood what this guy meant.

Oh my God, is this still called the Great Wall? Looking around, there are gaps everywhere, and the city walls are like dogs chewing. There are many places where there are no arrow bushes, and only the bare base is left!

He couldn't breathe a mouthful of blood. How could such a Great Wall resist the attack of the Tartars!

Wang Fuchen, I heard that he was from the Wang family, the wife of Zhu Neng, Duke Chengguo, and he was also considered a blood relative of Duke Chengguo. If it weren't for this, he would really wish to withdraw this guy immediately.

Are you mistaken? Is this how you commander?

After patrolling the Xinkaikou towards Zhangjiakou for a while, he finally couldn't help but say coldly: "General Wang, there are seven or eight gaps after just over ten miles. Do you think such a Great Wall can withstand the attack of the Tartars?"

Wang Fuchen could only bite the bullet and shook his head and said, "No."

Yang Cong couldn't help but scolded: "I know why you didn't organize the repairs?"

Wang Fuchen's face changed in fear. The patrolman was indeed young and energetic, or a little naughty, just as Li Fengming said.

He explained carefully: "Sir, it's not that the generals are unwilling to organize people to repair it. It's really difficult to repair the city wall on this mountain. I don't know how many times this section of the city wall has been destroyed by the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. It's difficult to repair it."

Yang Cong said coldly: "Is it difficult not to repair it?"

This is a stance to get angry. Wang Fuchen trembled and said, "Sir, it's less than a year in the future, and it's not time to organize someone to repair it."

Li Fengming, who was standing beside him, also said, "Yes, sir, this cannot be blamed on General Wang. After all, the commander of the Wanquandusi has not organized many people to repair it."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong could only suppress his anger and continue patrolling.
