Blood from Daming

Chapter 343
Xue Si, the general manager of Xuezhuang, led a team of 300 people to protect the village and recruited [-] recruits. With the cooperation of Xuezhuang's transportation team, he brought a large amount of gunpowder, firearms, food and other materials, as well as a full set of weapons, clothing and equipment for [-] soldiers provided by the Ministry of War. Wait, all the way to Shanhaiguan.

Xue Zhuang's brigade arrived at the west gate of Shanhaiguan at noon on the third day. Xue Si ordered his men to go down to close the front Ying'en gate and handed over the customs clearance documents from the Ministry of War. Soldiers and horses came towards the west gate of his defense. Although Mr. Qian knew that the troops coming from the pass were basically his own, he still pulled up the suspension bridge according to the usual practice. Pass through or stay overnight in Shanhaiguan according to the orders of adults.

After a while, the soldiers under his command handed over the customs clearance documents of Xue Sisuo's Ministry of War to Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian saw that it was the reinforcements from Xue Polu's Department in the former village who had arrived, and immediately ordered his men to let Xue Sisuo, who had been shut down, arrive. After waiting for a while, he flew down the gate of Ximen City and ran towards the General Military Mansion in Guanli.

Not long after, Ma Shilong, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Yu Anxing, the governor of Shanhaiguan, both came to the tower of Yingenmen, the west gate. Quietly waiting for Xue Si's army to enter the pass.

Xue Si looked at Shanhaiguan with the city gate open, thinking that he had left here in embarrassment with a large number of coffins and wounded soldiers of the Xue family, and couldn't help but say to Xue Keji, who was in charge of transportation to his seniors: "Uncle, we can finally take the lead as a general." He entered Shanhaiguan with a dignified identity."

Xue Keji snorted coldly and said, "Si Yazi, are you also dreaming of being a general?"

Xue Si hurriedly picked up his mood and said: "Uncle, I'm sorry, it's my nephew who made a photo, let's enter the customs."

Xue Keji said: "Sizi, you must always think of the young master's orders at all times, and don't be fooled by the emperor's little bits and pieces."

Xue Si looked at Xue Keji and was speechless. Ever since the emperor dismissed the third young master and ruined the Xue family's business in the capital, this old man would go to the wall of the village to scold the court three times every day. The emperor also scolded the group of officials, but the voice was much lower, and ordinary people could not hear it at all unless they stood in front of Xue Keji.

Xue Si secretly said that he was really wronged, the court did not give him an official status, and how could he get the benefits of the emperor? He was completely obliged to work for the Ming Dynasty. My master, the third young master, is now living a more comfortable life than a general or even a general in the imperial court.

Xue Si asked Xue Keji to be the first to enter Shanhaiguan City on behalf of the army, and Xue Keji accepted the military honor handed over by Xue Si, so Xue Keji rode his horse first and walked towards the entrance of Shanhaiguan Ying'en Gate.

Yu Anxing, the governor of Shanhaiguan, saw the Xue family riding towards the gate of the city on the west gate tower, and immediately went to the gate of the city to greet him with Ma Shilong, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan. The rider had already passed the suspension bridge over the moat, and the team behind Xue's house was also marching towards the city gate.

Yu Anxing knew the importance of this Xue family team, because Xue Polu resisted orders and refused to carry out the imperial order. Another very important reason was that Xue Polu's troops were mainly firearms. However, Xue Polu's team gunpowder, explosive kits, grenades and other supplies have not been supplemented in any way. Even Master Sun of Liaodong Economic Strategy can't let Xue Polu's department take a fire stick to beat Jianlu.

When Xue's family first rode to the gate of the city, Yu Anxing saw clearly that the leading general was actually an old man with a white beard. Since this old man was wearing a full helmet and armor, he couldn't see the color of his hair. , but according to Yu Anxing's vision, the old man is at least sixty years old.

Seeing the old man approaching, Yu Anxing dismounted from the saddle very nimbly, walked up to him with a few steps and said, "Xue Keji, the family servant of the Xue family, greets all the superiors."

However, Xue Keji said it was a salute, and he just hugged the officials of Shanhaiguan as a courtesy. People like Yu Anxing and Ma Shilong knew that the Xue family was holding back a bad breath, so no one cared about anything with an old man. .

Yu Anxing had always gotten along well with Xue Polu, and was very close to the members of the Xue family, so he stepped forward and said to Xue Keji: "The old man has worked hard, you might as well take a rest at the fence behind the city gate. "

Xue Keji said: "Thank you, Shangguan, we still have to wait for the son of Xue's family."

Seeing that Xue Keji was willing to wait at the gate of the city, Yu Anxing had no choice but to let him. Soon Xue Si led a large group of troops and a motorcade across the moat. Long scars, but Yu Anxing heard Xue Polu mention that this is Xue Polu's good brother one-eyed Xue Si.

Yu Anxing knew that Xue Si was a very important figure in the Xue family. Although he was a white man, his position in the Xue family was that of Xue Zhuang's manager, and his weight in the Xue family was no less important than that of Xue Polu. As a character, Yu Anxing is naturally more courteous.

Yu Anxing stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Could this strong man be the Fourth Hero Xue mentioned by General Xue Polu?"

Seeing that the middle-aged civil servant greeted him proactively and mentioned his brother Xue Er, Xue Si knew that he was showing his kindness to him, so he stepped forward to greet him and asked, "Don't dare, this Shangguan is."

The guard at the west gate, Mr. Qian, shouted, "Hey, it's just Mr. Yu, the governor of Shanhaiguan."

Yu Anxing said hastily: "Xue Yingxiong, come here, I will introduce you for you. This is General Ma Shilongma, the general of Shanhaiguan."

Under the introduction of Governor Yu, Xue Si met with Ma Shilong, the General Soldier of Shanhaiguan, and the two met formally. His attitude towards Xue Si was much more friendly than usual.

Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, said: "Director Xue, the Guanli has already mentioned the camp that your Xue family has prepared to stay in. Please enter the customs to rest. Someone will come to pick you up when you arrive at Jinglue Mansion. Master Jinglue Sun wants to see you." Take care of yourself."

Xue Si's original intention was just to pass through the Shanhaiguan Pass, and he had no intention of staying in the Shanhaiguan Pass, but just now he came to the west gate of Shanhaiguan Pass after tossing around for more than half an hour, so he had to stay overnight at Shanhaiguan Pass It's already inside the city, but Xue Si never thought that Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, would meet him.

However, Xue Si didn't have the time to think about the purpose of Mr. Sun's meeting with him. Xue Si was anxious to arrange the rest and accommodation of his men and horses, so he bid farewell to Yu Anxing, the governor of Shanhaiguan, Ma Shilong, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, and others. General Qian of the Chinese Army led him down to the camp to rest.

General Manager Qian of the Chinese Army in Shanhaiguan led Xue Si and his party to the depths of Shanhaiguan City. Xue Si understood the truth that many people should not be surprised by politeness, so he secretly handed over a bag of silver weighing a hundred taels to Chief Qian of the Chinese Army. The attitude of General Manager Qian of the Chinese Army became much more enthusiastic. Along the way, he explained the customs and customs of Shanhaiguan and various precautions to Xue Si in detail. Soon, General Manager Qian of the Chinese Army took Xue Si and his party to an empty camp near the north side.

Chief Qian of the Chinese Army gave special instructions to the hundred households in charge of the camp, asking him to take good care of Xue Si's men, and he explained to Xue Si before leaving in a hurry. After Xue Si and Chief Qian of the Chinese Army left, Also sent 100 taels of silver to the hundred households in charge of the camp. The hundred households in charge of the camp had a good attitude, and quickly ordered his subordinates to guide Xue Si's men and horses into the village to rest, and ordered his subordinates to help Xue Si's soldiers familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, and let Xue Si go as soon as possible. The people got the news.

The empty camp that Xue Si lives in now is a resting place specially reserved by Shanhaiguan Jinglue Mansion for passing guest troops. Generally speaking, Shanhaiguan provides a few items such as drinking water and cooking materials, and the rest must be moved by guest troops. Bring your own, or buy from the battalion officer.

Generally speaking, having an empty camp is much better than camping in the open air. One is that the safety of your team is guaranteed, and the other is that you don’t need to build a camp to see the terrain, set up tents to find water sources, etc., and your subordinates will immediately go to the camp. You can rest in the ready camp.

Xue Si's subordinates had just unloaded the supplies on the cart, and when everyone was arranged into the ready-made barracks, the herald of Jinglue Mansion came to invite Xue Si to go to Jinglue Mansion, Xue Si hurriedly sent Xue Keji Please come here and tell Xue Keji to take good care of the camp and not let his subordinates cause trouble in Shanhaiguan.

Xue Keji naturally agreed with all his heart, and when Xue Si left the camp, the condolences from the Jinglue Mansion also arrived. Xue Si took a look at them. These condolences included two pigs, two sheep, and twenty stones. Grain and some vegetables, as well as ten altars of water wine and a batch of black bean fodder.

Xue Si knew that according to the regulations of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, the guest army was on the road and had to be ordered to stay, and the supply of food and grass would only start after three days, and that was only available to the regular army of the imperial court. He was just a civilian army, and now Liaodong The Jinglue mansion treats me so courteously, I'm afraid this Lord Jinglue Sun has some evil plans on the Xue family.
