Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 993 Pu Yuanyi's Voting Certificate (Two in One)
The news that Tumen and Chaohua's [-]-odd allied forces threatened Liaonan reached Liaoyang that night.

The city of Liaoyang has a history of nearly 2000 years, and the name of Liaoyang first appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, but its earliest name can be found in "Historical Records". It was called Xiangping at that time, and it was later renamed Changping, Liaodong, and Liaozhou. , Dongping, Tiefeng, Tianfu, Nanjing, Tokyo and other names.From the end of the Warring States period to the end of the Ming Dynasty, Liaoyang was the political, economic, cultural center and transportation hub in Northeast China, and of course, it was also an important military town.

During the Warring States period, Crown Prince Dan of Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin and failed. The army of the revengeful Qin State rushed forward. The State of Yan persisted for another five years relying on the base camp of Liaodong with Xiangping (Liaoyang) as the core, and Prince Dan died in the end. The land, that is, Shatuozi Village near Liaoyang City, is also the origin of the name Taizi River.

Leaving aside the Han Dynasty, in the Three Kingdoms period, Gongsun Du occupied Xiangping and dominated one side, and his grandson Gongsun Yuan proclaimed himself King of Yan. It was not until Sima Yi led the elite soldiers of the Wei Dynasty to Liaodong to fight against them that the Gongsun family was defeated.

After the Liao Dynasty destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, the country's princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen and tycoons moved to Liaoyang one after another, and Yelubei, the prince of the Daliao Dynasty, came to town in person, which shows the importance of Liaoyang's status.This city was first called Nanjing in the Liao Dynasty, and later changed to Tokyo.

In the Jin Dynasty, Liaoyang became the Golden Tokyo (also known as the Eastern Capital).Wan Yanyong raised troops in Liaoyang and overthrew the tyrannical rule of King Hailing. He was Jin Shizong later known as "Little Yao and Shun".

In the 19th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Liaodong Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division to govern Liaoyang, and set up six guards and one prefecture with Liaoyang as the center.

At this time, Liaoyang was not only an important military town and the most economically developed area in Liaodong under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but also the largest city in Northeast Asia. , a rich land where "the family is full, everyone is full of contempt, granaries and rain, and the goods are bribed and envied".

In fact, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has always paid great attention to the management of the northern frontier defense. It has built eighteen cities in various fortresses in the northeast, and Liaoyang City is the largest of them.

The largest city in Northeast China was built over ten years from the fifth year of Hongwu to the 16th year of Hongwu. It was built and expanded several times on the basis of the old city site.

Liaoyang City is a brick and stone structure. It is a square city with a circumference of more than 24 miles.

But different from Yanjing, Liaoyang is dominated by the southern city. The city is more than three feet high, with a circumference of about sixteen miles. There are six gates. The names of the gates are very political. Two gates; Pingyi and Guangshun gates in the east; Suqing gate in the west; Zhenyuan gate in the north.

The news of the Tartars' invasion of Southern Liaoning came through the Suqing Gate and was sent directly to the Fuyuan of Governor Zhou Yong of Eastern Liao.

The military-administered area of ​​Liaodong is very interesting. As the military pressure in Liaoxi becomes heavier and heavier, elite troops will be moved to Liaoxi step by step, especially Guangning, where the Liaodong General Army is stationed, is the most important.

However, the administrative center of Liaodong still remains in Liaoyang, so there are two big bosses permanently stationed in Liaoyang City: the governor of Liaodong, who is in charge of military affairs, the imperial envoy guarding the local eunuch of Liaodong, and half a big boss: the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaoyang.

The governor of Liaodong is Zhou Yong, who needs no introduction, he is considered a highly pragmatic township party;

The guarding eunuch is called Han Guang. Gao Yu is not familiar with this person, but he knows that he came from Chen Ju's route.In fact, this Han Guang is indeed one of Chen Ju's confidantes. When Gao Yushi started to develop power in Liaodong at the end of last year, although Chen Ju didn't know that Gao Yushi planned to come to Liaodong in person, he keenly predicted that Gao Yushi planned to run Liaodong. , so at the beginning of this year, I recommended this person to Zhu Yijun to be the eunuch guarding Liaodong;
As for the Liaoyang Deputy Commander, now it is Qin Deyi. This is a general who fought all the way from the general. Although his brilliance was completely covered by Li Chengliang and Li Rusong in the original history, he is indeed not well-known, but that does not mean no ability.The only pity is that he fought all the way under Li Chengliang's command, so there is no need to say much about the faction.

When Li Chengliang beat Wang Gao, the first two were Yu Zhiwen and Qin Deyi, but Yu Zhiwen was shot and killed by Wang Gao immediately, and Qin Deyi was unharmed.Li Chengliang beheaded more than [-] levels successively in this battle, and Qin Deyi jumped up from then on. In just a few years, he became the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong by accident-of course he was also lucky. The position of the deputy commander is as stable as a rock, who knew that something like Chang'an Fort would happen?
At that time, Yao Dajie, who succeeded Liaoyang's deputy general, did not pay enough attention to Li Chengliang's instructions (this person was originally "a general who guards Liaodong Kuandian and other places" and belonged to Li Chengliang's direct line, so Li Chengliang could not tolerate him not obeying orders), Li Chengliang thought that he still needed to be "polished and polished", so that he was dismissed and returned to his hometown, so Qin Deyi picked a deputy commander out of thin air to become him, which is really a prosperous official career.

The person who sent the letter to Liaoyang was Pu Yuanyi, the commander of the Haizhou Guard, that guy who came from a thousand households and had a good business acumen.Facts have proved that he not only has a good business sense, but also a good political sense. After getting the news, he immediately sent someone to Liaoyang, not to mention, and only sent it to two places: Zhou Yong and Han Guang.

Don't look at the trivial matter of sending a letter, but the meaning contained in it is still very important-this is equivalent to him handing over his name.

Liaonan was pointed out by Tumen and Chaohua Bingfeng. This is undoubtedly military affairs. As the commander of Haizhou Guard, it is of course no problem for him to send letters to the governor and guarding eunuchs. When contacted in a short time, he actually didn't send a letter to Qin Deyi, who was close at hand. This cannot be simply excused by "temporary negligence", which is a typical intention.

Why?Because Pu Yuanyi is a subordinate, it is impossible not to know Zhou Yong's hometown, and it is impossible not to inquire about Han Guang's backer, so he must know that these two people are on the same line as Gao Yushi, and there is no way to send a letter to them. no problem.

But Qin Deyi was different. He was Li Chengliang's confidant who was "pulled out of the army". But Pu Yuanyi still believes that Gao Bingxian has opinions on Li Zongrong, and the relationship between the two is definitely not as messy as it seems on the surface.

If he is not the commander of Haizhou Guard, but the commander of any place in Liaoxi, Liaodong, or Liaobei, of course this kind of injustice has nothing to do with him, but who calls him Gao Wuzhen's current direct subordinate?

This is a must.

Otherwise, if you still want to learn from others to be a fence-riding faction, you will only die worse—whether it is Li Chengliang or Gao Yushi, it is easy for such a big guy to win a commander. What capital does Pu Yuanyi have in these two? Playing on the wall in front of the grandfather?
But it is not so easy to choose a side. Li Chengliang is deeply rooted in Liaodong, and it seems that Liaodong will not be able to play without him. He is the undisputed leader of the Liaodong local faction. It stands to reason that Pu Yuanyi, as a Liaodong native, is the first The first choice is of course to follow Li Chengliang.

However, Gao Yushi is not only his direct superior, but more importantly, his background and reputation are too prominent, even an idiot can see that as long as he does not have major problems, it is only a matter of time before Mr. Ge's future.

This is difficult.

But Pu Yuanyi didn't struggle with it for a few days, and was persuaded by his husband.

Pu Yuanyi's wife's surname is Cui. It is said that she is descended from the famous Qinghe Cui family. However, the Qinghe Cui family was the Guandong clan from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty. ?

However, Mrs. Cui herself is quite capable. The business affairs of Pu Yuanyi's family are almost all taken care of by Mrs. Cui. She is considered a strong woman in this era.

At that time, Mrs. Cui saw that Pu Yuanyi was sad and sighed all day after he came back from Gaizhou. She thought he was angry with the new Gao Bingxian, so she went to persuade him: "The high rank of the Bingxian is like a nine-fold sky. If you are negligent for a while, the master will have to bear it. But because of the high family status, even if he speaks domineeringly, it may not mean that he is really dissatisfied with the master, why is the master so panicked?"

Pu Yuanyi smiled wryly and said: "Ma'am, I guessed it wrong. Gao Bingxian is a gentleman, and he speaks and behaves like a gentleman. He didn't make things difficult for her husband, but..." As he spoke, he shared his entanglements with Cui. Madam said.

Mrs. Cui laughed as soon as she heard it: "My master has been smart all his life, why did he suddenly become confused?"

Pu Yuanyi was taken aback for a moment, and asked why.

Mrs. Cui said: "Dare to ask the master, how old is the saint?"

Pu Yuanyi replied inexplicably: "My emperor's August birthday has just passed, and the year is only weak."

"How old are Gao Bingxian and Li Zongrong?"

"Gao Bingxian is the same age as my emperor, so in the past years he was specially ordered by Mu Temple to enter the palace as a companion, so this year he is also a weak crown. As for Uncle Ning Yuan, doesn't Madam know? He will be in his sixtieth year after three more years." .”

Mrs. Cui smiled without saying a word, and Pu Yuanyi suddenly said: "Madam, what you mean is that Gao Bingxian is like the rising sun, while Uncle Ning Yuan is already the evening light?"

Pu Yuanyi pondered for a while, nodded slightly, but hesitated and said: "However, most of my military positions in my court are hereditary, and there are many generals. Now Li Yangcheng (Li Rusong, Yangcheng), the eldest son of Uncle Ningyuan, is the general soldier of Shanxi. Uncle Ningyuan will become an official in the future. It is reasonable for Li Yangcheng to return to Liaodong, then..."

Mrs. Cui said indifferently: "At that time, Liaodong General Li Yangcheng will dare to fight Gao Butang, or even Gao Ge?"

Uh... I'm afraid I dare not.

Pu Yuanyi was stunned by the question, but he still asked cautiously: "The reason is naturally the reason, but Madam also said that Gao Bingxian may already be the minister or even the elder of the court, can he remember to be the leader of the court?" Husband is hard to say, but Li Yangcheng is likely to be the general town of Liaodong, as a husband, I'm afraid that the county magistrate might not be in charge."

Mrs. Cui shook her head and chuckled, then looked at Pu Yuanyi with a hopeful look and said: "Master, I have read the residence newspaper brought back by the master a few days ago, and I heard that Gao Bingxian transferred three officers from Xuanda to Liao Nan, are they all real and important positions?"

Pu Yuanyi didn't like to hear these words, snorted, and said: "There is such a thing, these three are said to be descendants of the generals, it's a pity, they are all from Xuanda, but now they come to occupy my pit in Liaodong. "

Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "So what, Liaodong people can also take advantage of Xuanda's trap... Li Yangcheng will become the general soldier of Shanxi? In fact, what I want to remind the master is Gao Bingxian's style of employing people."

"Style? What style?" Pu Yuanyi asked thoughtfully.

Mrs. Cui said: "There are two points: one is that if you don't use it, use it, and if you use it, you must reuse it; the other is that you can use your own people and never use outsiders."

Pu Yuanyi suddenly came to his senses, his eyes brightened: "Madam means..."

"If you want to do it, you must be Gao Bingxian's confidant. You are close and trustworthy!" Mrs. Cui looked at her husband with piercing eyes, and said in a firm tone: "I have read the scriptures brought by the merchants from the capital. There are a lot of mentions of Gao Bingxian's legendary deeds over the years, the master may wish to guess, what did I find?"

Pu Yuanyi smiled and said: "I have known for a long time that my wife is good at seeing the big from the small, so don't play riddles, let's just talk about it."

Mrs. Cui also smiled and said: "More than ten years ago, Gao Bingxian was less than ten years old, so he recommended the eunuch Huang Gong from Datong to the palace. At that time, Feng Bao was down and out, Huang Gong and Chen Gong both entered the Sili Supervisor, and the power was at that time, as for now, there is no need to mention it.

After Gao Bingxian was able to serve as the inspector of Guangxi with six champions, the two chieftains he used are now in Annan like prime ministers on the left and right on the right. They have no name as regents, but they have the reality of regents.
In the recent Battle of Monan, the generals directly under his command, such as Ma Gui, Ma Chengxun's uncle and nephew, were promoted to the general army, and then promoted to the deputy general army. Even Ma Chengen was transferred to southern Liaoning for reuse this time.That’s not to mention, the old Ma family and Zhang family, who were related to Gao Bingxian, have also ascended to heaven this time, and they were transferred from thousands of miles away to entrust them with important tasks... Can’t the master see the employment style of Gao Bingxian? "

Pu Yuanyi suddenly realized, but soon he looked a little worried, looked at Madam Cui and said: "Madam has studied Gao Bingxian very deeply..."

Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, then she looked a little annoyed, and said angrily: "The master is thinking about something. Since the end of last year, I have not dared not to study him!"

This is a bit weird, Pu Yuanyi frowned and said, "Why?"

Mrs. Cui said angrily: "A behemoth like Jinghua suddenly entered Liaodong on a large scale. Our family's wealth may be ranked in Liaodong, but what is it in front of others Jinghua? I will not study Gao Longwen, Jinghua's man. Master, if he accidentally blocks his way of crossing the river, I am afraid that he will be swallowed up by others if he doesn't even know how he died! At that time, when the master asks the crime, what will the concubine say?"

As she said that, Mrs. Cui had an aggrieved expression on her face, and she was about to cry.

Pu Yuanyi regretted, what kind of dry vinegar did he eat, his wife didn't even take a photo with Gao Bingxian, how could he be interested in him?Thinking of it this way, I was fooled by lard, and I couldn't tell the difference.

He hurriedly got up, took Madam Cui's hand and talked nonsense, and finally persuaded Madam Cui to change her mind, and then he was relieved.

At this moment, Mrs. Cui said again: "The master just diverted the conversation to this matter, but he also reminded the concubine..."

"Don't talk about it, ma'am, it's really your husband just now." Pu Yuanyi thought Madam Cui's anger was still lingering, so he interrupted hastily.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cui shook her head and said: "I didn't mean this, what I meant was that even if it's because of Jinghua's relationship, the master can only follow Gao Bingxian...Master, the river transport momentum of Liaohe and Taizihe is too strong now. Yes, our family wants to continue to make some money in this commercial road in the west and east of Liaoning. Without Jinghua's nod, it is impossible.

And although our Pu family can be regarded as a general for generations, the master also knows that there is no food to grow in southern Liaoning. With those few acres of land, we can make do at best, and don't even think about anything else. Only peddlers can maintain wealth for a long time. "

Pu Yuanyi's heart was really shocked at this moment. After thinking for a while, he nodded again and again: "It's better for Madam to see the long-term. Having Madam as my virtuous helper is really a good deed for my husband in his previous life...Madam, I know what to do for my husband. "

Pu Yuanyi did know what to do, so he not only took advantage of the opportunity of the Tumen and Chaohua allied forces to intimidate Liaonan this time, but also expressed his position by sending a letter, and at the same time as sending the letter to Liaoyang, he ordered the summoning of the servants and the mobilization of the elites of the guards. Haizhou assembled.

At the same time, he also sent a letter to the military constitution office in Gaizhou, expressing that at this time of crisis, all Haizhou guards are willing to die in order to report to the military constitution. .
