The governor of Xuanda was Yanghewei, the governor of Datong was Datong, the general and military supervisors of Datong Town were also Datong City. These were the commanders and officials of Datong border town.

The Altan team of cavalrymen came out everywhere, getting closer and closer to Datong border town. Shanxi was shocked. Datong border town was responsible for the defense here, so these military and political officials naturally had to discuss countermeasures.

Military affairs are urgent. According to official rules, everyone should go to Yanghewei to discuss matters, but now they don’t care too much. Governor Xuanda came to Datong and discussed matters in the office of the governor of Datong.

The Governor of Xuanda led the Xuanfu and Datong towns. The title of governor of Datong also has the title of admiral military affairs. It is considered to be the best in Datong Town. But in fact, the commanders and supervisors of Datong Town are self-organized. It is just that the court issued an order. In the rest, they just gave each other some face and everyone could live a good life. Therefore, during the peaceful season, the Governor and the Governor did not interfere in the affairs of Datong Town, but now the situation is different. The urgent documents have been sent to the capital, so they don’t care about so many.

Several people sat in the hall, and of course, the Governor of Xuanda Weng Wanda was sitting in the middle, the Governor of Datong Mei Wenjin was sitting on the left, while the deputy general Ma Dong, who temporarily served as the general, sat on the right, and the military supervisor Xu Wen was sitting under Ma Dong.

With such an order of official rank, Ma Dong is the one who wants to lead the army. Even if it is a temporary generation, it is extremely domineering. However, Ma Dong may be from a general family and has always been very low-key and introverted.

His attitude of abiding by the rules in everything made the governor and the governor feel quite tricky, but when things come so, it doesn't matter whether it is difficult or not. Let's talk about the matter first.

"Now that suicide has been committed, there are police everywhere from Hukou to Huyukou. The day before yesterday, the beacon fires and wolf smoke have been lit in the Qiang Fort in Zhen the day. There is no wind and snow on the grassland this year. The harvest in Guihua City is not bad. Why are the Tartars provoking trouble everywhere?"

Weng Wanda has been in the position of Governor General Xuanda for almost ten years. He was in his early seventies. This old man built a border wall and trained border soldiers. He had lost his ambitions and only thought about peace during his tenure.

The Governor Datong looked quite ugly. At this point, the Governor still pretended to be confused. He said coldly: "Master General, in the past few months, caravans have been robbed everywhere, not only our caravans, but even the caravans on the Tartars were robbed. Yesterday, the letter from the Master Fushen Ge arrived, so that we could strictly investigate and deal with such a situation. Who can care about the unscrupulous businessmen? The cavalry of the Tartars came out everywhere, and who knows whether they were pursuing horse thieves?

Is there any evil intentions for our Ming Dynasty? Senggedu Gulen is not Altan. He was back then...",i "I have such soldiers and still live in the north. We have heard of this sentence. Since we have come to this, you always have to come up with a charter. What's the use of saying clichés? The caravans are robbed must be investigated and dealt with again. We must be careful when the Tartars move. We must also write memorandums in the palace.

Xu Wen, the military supervisor here, also said sharply. He was also a cliché, but several people could understand it and knew it even more. A certain eunuch in the Sili Supervisory Bureau and several eunuchs also came in letters. The profits of border trade were so heavy, and many eunuchs in the capital also intervened. Horse thieves were so rampant that many people were damaged. When the brigade of cavalry in Guihua City came out everywhere, the business route was cut off. On weekdays, a large sum of gold and silver were suddenly cut off. Who would be willing to do so? Naturally, they had to urge them to solve it.

After a few conversations, the three people in the room still focused their attention on Ma Dong. Ma Dong was sitting on the chair without saying a word, and seemed to be listening.

"Master Ma?"

"Master Ma!!"

The governor of Datong raised his voice and shouted twice. Ma Dongcai, the deputy general who temporarily served as General Datong, trembled, as if he had reacted. Seeing everyone staring, he paused and said, "I am the general who temporarily served as General Datong, and I dare not speak irresponsible. I'd better wait for the imperial court's order to come down!"

"There are no outsiders in the house. The situation is now like this. Why should Lord Ma say that? If the response is done properly this time, is the position of General Datong not Master Ma, and may be able to be awarded titles and rewards? You know the best military affairs here, just leave!"

Weng Wenda said, "It's like giving each other a step forward. This Ma Dong actually wants to move out. Now at this time, there must be someone who takes responsibility, and they can't take it for a few civil officials."

I don’t know if Ma Dong is stupid or smart. With a casual word over there, Ma Dong spoke. He cleared his throat and said, “Since I want me to say, sir, don’t be surprised. In this situation on the grassland, we dare not act rashly. If we send troops to cause misunderstandings and give the Tartars an excuse to advance, it would be a natural disaster. For the sake of this, we must take strict vigilance at each border gate and fortress, so that each army will be ready and ready."

The words were clichés, but they also had the function to do so. The other three were unwilling to be the only answer. Mei Wenjin, the Datong Xun, frowned and said, "Although the Altan army was moving abnormally, there was no war after all. If we let the horse thieves run rampant, we might not be able to explain it here?"

Ma Dong, who was sitting there, had a change of expression. After hesitating, he stood up, clasped his fists and said in a solemn voice: "When it comes to this, some things are going to be talked about. Everyone should be concerned about what Datong soldiers look like. For so many years, except for Sun Daying who won a battle last year, how many others dare to go out to fight? Not to mention going out to fight, even if the Tartars attack, how many can hold on?"

Everyone was speechless, and Ma Dong said again: "There is now 130,000 soldiers in the list. In fact, it is thankful that there are 90,000. How many personal soldiers from each family among the 90,000 soldiers can be raised? I am afraid that I can't afford to raise 3,000 people. At that time, the only ones who can go out to fight will be these 3,000 people. The other people are not even as good as farmers who farm. The problem now is not to clear out the horse thieves, but whether they can defend it. If several adults believe in the general, I will say one thing, and the current general cannot defend it. As long as the Tartars get closer and closer, they will collapse immediately. By then, everything will be over."

After the deputy general Ma Dong finished speaking, Governor Wenda and Governor Mei Wenjin both walked to take a breath of air conditioning, their faces turned dark, but the eunuch Xu Wen of the military supervisor was there, looking a little confused.

Weng Wenda now knows that the troops on Yanghewei, or even the combat power of the soldiers on the other side, and Mei Wenjin, the governor of Datong, naturally could not see outside Datong City.

Besides, both of them were civil officials, so it was okay to be a soldier. How could they see whether the soldiers were strong or not? It was not just that what the soldiers were said by the army generals below.

After hearing what Ma Dong said was so serious, thinking about the frequent activities of the Tartars outside. If they really broke through the border and entered Shanxi, according to the previous rules, military generals were just demoted, and they would be taken out as responsible persons to be punished. But they did not know about the military, and the military supervisor Xu Wen was also in the army all day long. The eunuchs who came out of the inner court were different from civil servants. Civil servants relied on the Four Books, Five Classics, and Eight-Legend Articles to enter the officialdom. If eunuchs want to come out to do their jobs, in addition to the backstage, they also had the ability to do their jobs and knew how to do practical things.

Xu Wen knew very well than the governor and the governor. He was indeed weak, but he should be able to defend. Moreover, for so many years, Sun Daying and Ma Dong have been in charge of the generals. There are some soldiers and horses that can fight everywhere. In addition, Ma Dong has some soldiers and generals from the Ma family, and he can gather up all teams that can fight in 8,000 people.

Not everyone can fight on the Tartars, but they can have more than 20,000 elite cavalry and take advantage of the horses. However, the Tartars come to attack and cannot be fully out of their way. They also have to stay guarding Guihua City and guard against other tribes. If they think about it, the Tartars come to Datong, and they will not have any defensive power. They can still fight, at least they can keep the important land.

But Ma Dong was so miserable. Xu Wen was thinking about it over and over again, thinking that Ma Dong was a complete statement. If he really took a big shot and said with his chest, he would have no way to explain it if he failed. Now he would be more miserable than if the situation was really miserable then. It would be fine with his individuals.

The governor and the governor looked at each other for a few times, but they had no idea. Thinking about the prospect of being disgraced and being arrested and imprisoned, they were even more discouraged and didn't know what to do.

"Two sirs, I will have a plan, but I don't know whether to say it or not!!"

Just when he was embarrassed, Ma Dong spoke again, and Xu Wen, the military supervisor, simply stopped talking. The two men seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and kept saying: "Please speak, Lord Ma, please speak."

"Now the imperial envoy Wang is in Taiyuan Prefecture City, and he has an order to supervise the elimination of horse thieves. Since there are police in the border, it is better to be in a hurry to follow the power. While we report to the capital, we ask Lord Wang to make an idea, so we don't have to take responsibility for this matter."

"Mr. Ma's plan is safe. According to His Majesty's character, after seeing Datong's report of an emergency, he might ask Wang Tong to be responsible for the prevention of the enemy. Well, let's report together!!"............ After the discussion, everyone signed a joint sign and sent it to the capital quickly. Ma Dong's face was heavy in the official office, but after coming out, he sneered.

The guards surrounded him and got on the horse. A soldier leader came over and said, "Master, there are a lot of goods stored in Aries. The price is high now. Do you want it?"

"I'll say it again. When will I sell it, I'll go to Aries today. Explain it over there. If you don't get the order, don't make any ideas about those goods, otherwise the whole family will not live anymore!!"
