Chapter 221 Return to Xuan Town
There are many shops and many workshops in Baoanwei City. At this time, Baoanwei had a very wide jurisdiction. Later generations belonged to Xinbaoan Town in Huailai County. .

According to historical records of the Ming Dynasty, during the Hongzhi period, there were 150 official households in Baoanwei, [-] military households, and [-] village households, all of which were under the management of Baoanwei.

In the guard, there are three commanders and magistrates who are acting or actually taught, and four commanders who command affairs. There are also Confucianism professors and instructors in the guard city, as well as large and small guard officials and so on.

A considerable part of this large population lives in the Acropolis. In terms of population alone, it is obviously much larger than that of Baoanzhou City. The wide range of needs has led to the prosperity of commerce in the city.

Soon, a group of people arrived in front of the gate of the security commander in Xunyu City. Here, a tall square watch was erected, with the words "Zhenbei" written on it.

The garrison office of the Security Guard City was set up inside the Security Guard Command and Envoy Division, which was basically the case in all guards in the Ming Dynasty.

The commander of each acropolis is basically the garrison officer of the local castle, and the commanders of each guard are also divided into two parts. When talking about local defense and defense, they go to the garrison office to talk about the garrison of the guard. Then go to the commander's hall.

In front of "Zhenbeifang", Jiang Mingwu, the general of Shanxi Town, was waiting here, as well as Li Jianming and Wen Hui, the guerrillas of Xuanzhen, who were also waiting here, and beside them were third-rank military officers who were about fifty years old.

Before Zhang Cheng approached, Jiang Mingwu rushed over a few steps and said loudly: "Brother Zhang, hurry up, the governors are waiting impatiently."

He pulled Zhang Cheng enthusiastically and was about to rush in. Zhang Cheng stopped in his tracks and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, don't worry, don't worry, these guys can trouble you to recommend something."

At this time, Wang Xiaocheng, the commander of the security guard, stepped forward quickly and introduced the officials of the security guard to Zhang Cheng.

It turned out that the third-rank military officer in his fifties was Wen Zhong, the commander of the security guard, and the commander of the security guard, and behind him were a group of officials of all sizes.

This Wen Zhong should be about fifty, with three long beards fluttering, elegant and handsome, dressed in the military uniform of the third rank, quite elegant, but his demeanor and face are a bit stiff, giving people a kind of superficial smile a feeling of.

He said to Zhang Cheng indifferently: "Young people are not simple. General Zhang has such bravery, which is really admired by my generation."

Zhang Cheng really looked down on Wen Zhong, but he said respectfully on his face: "Master Wen's reputation is just a rumor, so it's not credible. Zhang Cheng still needs to learn from the adults."

Wang Xiaocheng was even more enthusiastic to help Zhang Cheng introduce the security guards and generals behind Wen Zhong, most of whom were the commanders of the security guards, Qian Hu and other figures.

When they met Zhang Cheng, they all had smiles on their faces. Although Zhang Cheng had no subordinate relationship with them, at least on the surface, he was very affectionate to Zhang Cheng, and his expressions were full of admiration.

After exchanging greetings, Wen Zhong welcomed Wang Pu, Zhang Cheng and others into the security commander's department, and he directly led everyone to the West Flower Hall. Zhang Cheng saw an old man with a thin face standing under the eaves of the hall.

He looked to be nearly sixty years old, and he was dressed in the third-rank uniform of a guard commander. He had a kind expression on his face, standing there with a lot of power, and he was looking at Zhang Cheng and others who came in with extremely gentle eyes.

Wang Pu walked forward with his head held high, Zhang Cheng and other generals followed behind him, the security commander Wang Xiaocheng stepped forward quickly, and hurriedly introduced: "General Zhang, this is our commander, Master Li. .”

Zhang Cheng followed his reputation, and the kind-faced old man in front of him was Master Li, the commander of the security guards.

…………

In the West Flower Hall of the Security Guard City.

Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, was seated in the top position like stars holding the moon. Zhang Cheng was dragged by him to sit next to him, and on the other side was Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanzhen.

Datong General Soldier Wang Pu was next to Zhang Cheng, and Shanxi Town General Soldier Hu Dawei sat next to Yang Guozhu, followed by Security Commander Li Yiming and others.

During the banquet, all the officers and generals of the generals and security guards came to toast one after another. Fortunately, Zhang Cheng could hold back because of his large capacity for alcohol.

The toast was slowed down, and Chen Xinjia took Zhang Cheng's hand and said: "General Zhang, I am going back to Xuanzhen this time, but if I need anything, just talk to General Yang. You solve it."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and respectfully said: "Thanks to the great love of the governor, Zhang Cheng is very grateful, and I can only replace it with this wine."

Yang Guozhu next to him picked up the wine bowl and said following Chen Xinjia's words: "Zhang Guerrilla's new camp is just being built, and it needs a lot. Although my Xuan Town is short of property, I should give it my full support, so that the governor's wish will not be in vain."

Between cups and bowls, everyone in the hall toasted Zhang Cheng, especially the Xuanzhen guerrilla Li Jianming and Wen Hui, who were even more jealous. The two of them were full of jealousy.

But seeing in the hall, the officials at the three tables centered on Chen Xinjia and Zhang Cheng, toasting in turn, and then followed the crowd, after paying respects to Governor Chen Xinjia, they focused on attacking Zhang Cheng alone.

Their original intention was to make Zhang Cheng drunk and make trouble, but they underestimated Zhang Cheng's drinking capacity too much. This night, Zhang Cheng not only convinced everyone, but also fought with Guo Yingxian to the end.

Even Guo Yingxian, who was the most forthright, was unconscious. Zhang Cheng knew he couldn't last long, so after toasting Chen Xinjia's last bowl of wine, he called Chen Zhong to help him leave.

In fact, Zhang Cheng was not drunk. During the banquet, he accepted everyone's toast, and then paid respects to everyone in the banquet. Then Guo Yingxian dragged him to drink together. If this continues, he will definitely be drunk, so he took the opportunity to pretend to be drunk. Called Chen Zhong to help him leave the table.

…………

On the second day, Zhang Cheng accompanied Chen Xinjia and other generals and generals to leave the security guard city, and only left after passing the Jiming Station.

Although Zhang Cheng was behind Yang Guozhu and headed for Xuan Mansion, Hu Dawei and Wang Pu accompanied Governor Chen Xinjia to continue their journey, and they went in the direction of Shengchuan.

Finally, Wang Pu returned to Datong, Hu Dawei returned to Taiyuan, and Governor Chen Xinjia went to Yanghesuo.

Daming, Chongzhen 12th year, the first day of April, Xuanfu town.

Zhang Cheng's mother, Zhang Yangshi, and aunt Zhang Hanshi have already led the younger generation of the family to kneel ten miles away from the east gate of Xuanfu to welcome them.

Seeing the return of the army from a distance, they heard crying. Although they had known the news long ago, but now Zhang Yan's body returned to his hometown, it was another feeling, and who could step forward to stop it.

Seeing it from afar, Zhang Cheng hurriedly rode his horse and galloped away. After twenty steps away, he got off the horse and ran all the way. He knelt down in front of his mother and aunt, kowtowing his head with tears all over his face.

He couldn't stop saying: "Mother, aunt, Chenger is unfilial and failed to protect his uncle well, please punish him, aunt."
