Chapter 230 Are You Aren't Afraid Of Getting Drunk On The Table?

Ever since Zhang Cheng, Yang Guozhu and others returned to the town triumphantly, for several days in a row, there were discussions about Zhang Cheng in the restaurants, and even some people who liked to show off even spread the word in the various restaurants in the town. Zhang Cheng's various legends.

Some good people even compiled Zhang Chengqin's deeds into a storybook, and began to spread praises and comments among the wine shops, all of which even Zhang Cheng did not expect.

Seeing that the sky was dimming, Zhang Cheng called Lin Fangping. The set of armor that was going to be given to Yang Guozhu had already been packed and placed in a purple wooden box, and Lin Fangping held it in person.

There is no curfew in the town. Although the sky is getting dark, there are still many pedestrians on the street. All the businesses along the street have already lit their lanterns and hung them under the eaves in front of their doors.

As expected of the town, where the essence of Xuanfu lies, its prosperity is unmatched by other castles. Zhang Cheng has not had time to understand the town in detail.

In the entire northern land of Ming Dynasty, there is no town or prefecture that is bigger and more magnificent than it. It can be called "the key of the capital" and "the Pinghan of Shenjing". Zhang Cheng thought that this treasure land should be included in his pocket sooner or later !
It stands to reason that he has lived here since he was a child, so he should know the town very well, especially the Goulan House in the town, but who knows that Zhang Cheng is now in the town, but his eyes are smeared, and he can't even see the town. The location of the official office is unknown.

Therefore, every time he went out, he would bring guards to lead him the way. Xuanfu Township, Fu, Zhen, Ministry, Taoist, Guanliang, Lixing Tongzhi, various guards, Confucianism and other officials were all in the same city.

In addition, there is a management organization of the Du Commander and Envoy Division, but there is more than one Du Commander here. However, there are many idle officials with salaries, but few clerks in charge.

The center of Xuanfu town is Guwangfu. From north to south, there are Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and Gongjilou on the South Gate. There are archways in Shizi Street. Generally speaking, officials, wealthy families, and landlords live in the south. The streets are also full of official stores and shops.

To the north of the town, there are mostly government offices at all levels. The drum tower named "Zhenshuo Tower" beats the drum every day to tell the time. The sound of the drum immediately spread throughout the city, and it can also be used as a warning during wartime.

Zhenshuo Tower is a two-story building with eaves and hilltops. It is built on the pier and is more than eight feet high. The large and majestic building is named after the commander-in-chief who guarded the Xuanfu in the seventh year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty was named "General Zhenshuo".

In front of Zhenshuo Building, there are East and West Streets, and the East Street is Yanyuan Street, where there are Governor's Yamen, Yanchayuan Yamen, and many factories and warehouses.

The West Street is Hubu Street, where there is the Office of the Ministry of Finance, Zhu Mintai, the chief governor and grain doctor, and the Tongzhi of the Ministry of Households, the judge, etc., who manage the military and civilian supplies allocated by the imperial court and supervise the local use.

On this East Street, there is also the Office of the Ministry of Punishment and the lobby of the Governor's Yamen, which is similar in size to the General Army's Yamen. On the west side of the Governor's Yamen is the archery field in the town, which was originally used for military inspections and military training in the city.

However, due to the encroachment of the government and the people, this practice field is getting smaller and smaller, so the army drills in the town are generally placed on the large practice field in the northeast suburbs outside the city. "The good name.

Xuanfu Town, guarding the yamen of the general army, is located on this Paidong Street, not far from the governor's yamen of Xuanfu.

Zhang Cheng led Lin Fangping and other guards to the front of the Zongbing Yamen. This mansion called "Shuai Mansion" and "Zhenshuo Mansion" was extremely large, and a tall flagpole stood in front of the mansion gate.

The tall screen wall is particularly eye-catching, with majestic stone lions guarding both sides of the ceremony gate, and a tin ring with a golden lacquered animal face hung on the gate.

There are many halls and halls in the interior. It is estimated that the entire yamen occupies an area of ​​no less than [-] square meters. On the east side of the Zongbing Yamen, there are Confucianism and Xinghe Shouyu Thousand Households. institutions and more.

Looking at the majestic and majestic yamen of the general army in front of him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, thinking to himself: when will he be able to sit in the lobby of this yamen.

Yang Guozhu's personal soldiers had long been guarding the door. Seeing Zhang Cheng and others coming, they trotted forward to greet them. They took the mounts of Zhang Cheng and the guards, and the armor as a gift was still held by Lin Fangping. .

The two sides went to Jingqin King together and spent nearly half a year together. They had already become acquainted with each other, and all the soldiers were welcomed into the commander's mansion, accompanied by Yang Guozhu's soldiers.

Before Zhang Cheng entered the door, he heard a rough voice: "Oh, brother Zhang, you are late."

Then, I saw a square-footed strong man rushing towards him with big strides, hugged Zhang Cheng, and shouted, "Come on, go in and have a drink. Tonight we will fight for [-] rounds."

Zhang Cheng punched Guo Yingxian on the chest, and said with a smile, "General Guo, aren't you afraid that you'll get drunk and go to the table?"

"Hahaha……"

Guo Yingxian burst into hearty laughter: "Mao, I don't know which drill yet."

Zhang Cheng called Lin Fangping who was on the side, and said to Guo Yingxian: "Here is a pair of good armor that was confiscated from the Tartars. It is specially brought to Yang Junmen. Please ask Brother Guo to accept it for you."

Guo Yingxian said in his mouth: "Just come, and bring something. If you do this, the commander-in-chief will not dare to invite you next time."

But he had no choice but to call a soldier, took the wooden box that Lin Fangping was holding, and said to Lin Fangping: "Xiao Linzi, go to drink and eat meat too. In this town, you can feel at ease. Who doesn't Those with long eyes dare to break ground on the general's head."

Immediately, Yang Guozhu's personal soldiers came over, pulled Lin Fangping and went in, Guo Yingxian also pulled Zhang Cheng and said: "Come on, Brother Cheng came early, go inside and talk to the commander in chief first."

…………

There is a wing room in the Xihua Hall where Xuanfu guards the general yamen, Yang Guozhu, the general soldier, and Zhang Cheng, the guerrilla general of Xuanzhen, are sitting in it chatting.

"Loyalty, you really don't plan to choose soldiers from the thousands of households?" Yang Guozhu asked straight to the point.

"Yang Shuai, the soldiers in the thousands of households in these places are no different from the civilian households. When a large army goes to battle, the most important thing is to fight in a dignified battle. The final general now selects all good families. Although the practice is a bit slow,

But once they form an army, they will fight against the enemy according to the battle formation they have performed. If we wait to save them from worrying about the future, they will surely advance and never retreat, and they will use their lives before the formation.
On the other hand, those old soldiers and the like, although they are all brave, they all have some skills, and they can choose the best ones to serve as night guards or guards.
When confronting the enemy, if there is a slight defeat, they will find a gap and run for their lives. It is really not advisable to cause the army to be defeated every time. "

After hearing this, Yang Guozhu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
