Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 559 Out of the Fortress

Seeing that it is almost April, the weeds on the prairie are already very lush. In the undulating prairie, sometimes a river, with a distance of a few feet, rushes, winding out a path on the green prairie. The hills near and far of the silver jade belt are covered with wood, the sky is blue, and the white clouds appear very low because of the clear air, as if they can be reached by climbing the short hills.

All kinds of wild animals, such as roe deer, wild pheasant, and wild pheasant, were disturbed by the march of the troops, and suddenly sprang up from the grass. The soldiers who marched for a long distance were immediately excited. He shot an arrow, and once he hit a wild animal, he hurried over to pick it up. His companions were all covering him, with excited expressions on their faces, which meant that they would be able to eat meat at the next meal.

In the Chinese army, a long-wheeled chariot with a wide axle and big wheels, pulled by four bay red horses, is moving briskly forward. A tall pole is inserted on the shaft, and a letter flag is hung above it. There is a big word written on it: Governor of Liaodong Military Affairs." On the other side of the chariot is a second banner with the words "Fuguogong Yang".

The handlebars are strong and burly, wearing a big sun hat, holding a snake-skin-tipped long whip, but they don't urge the horses, just let them gallop forward, enough to keep up with the whole team speed of travel.

In the spacious and gorgeous carriage, Xia Qi sat on the soft mattress and rolled up the car curtain halfway, so that the sunlight could just shine into the car without being too glaring.

There are several files on the table, and Xia Shi is opening one, reading it carefully, looking at it for a while, thinking about it, and when she realizes something, Jing picks up the pen from the pen holder, writes a few words or writes a few words on the side. mark.

He is trying to supplement his knowledge about Liaodong, and his knowledge of Liaodong in the early Ming Dynasty is limited.He knew that with the elites he brought, it would be easy to solve the immediate problem. He could finish the mission entrusted to him by the emperor with dignity, and then return to Jinling in style.As for how Liaodong will grow in the future, or what changes will happen hundreds of years later, it will not be on his head, but since it has come, he wants to do a few things in a down-to-earth manner.

If he came here to be the governor of Liaodong, and he wants to be an official here for ten or twenty years, there is nothing wrong with doing so, and it will not be worth a thousand years.He also has to plan for his own political achievements, but with his current status, it is impossible to stay in Liaodong for too long. The emperor sent him this time, in fact, his intention was to solve the immediate problems. Xia Tao not only focused on the immediate , and considering the long-term, it is indeed a bit self-inflicted.

However, he feels that there are always pros and cons in everything in the world. This incident in Liaodong may not be an opportunity. It is not too long since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not too long to run Liaodong. If he comes here, he can correct some problems and create some The way, with his prestige and status in the court, the successor would not dare to shake his policy easily, so it is actually not much different from him in Liaodong.Update super fast text up

From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, after more than 30 years of development, Liaodong has spit out new green shoots, and through some actions that are different from the history of this study, it seems to be a completely different process of fertilizing, watering, and pruning. If this business continues for several decades, it will develop completely differently, and Liaodong will no longer be the Liaodong in history. If this model is successful, the gravediggers of the Ming Dynasty will no longer appear in Liaodong.

Nothing is immortal, and the Ming Dynasty cannot escape the inevitable process of "birth, old age, sickness and death". The most ideal result is to complete this process of alternation and transformation within the nation, as long as its future is not buried in the hands of a group of barbarians, resulting in The Chinese civilization has retreated in an all-round way, and it has fallen far behind in the race against the entire world.

The car suddenly trembled heavily, the writing brush rolled down from the pen holder, and a few ink stains were stained on the table, Xia Qi picked up the writing brush and put it back on the table, locked it tightly, then closed the file, pulled up the car curtain, and the car Teeth brighten immediately.

Looking out from the probe, there are swords and arrows on the left and right sides of the car, and the sturdy guard warriors are all riding on tall horses. Going forward, there is a foothills. There are sparse forests and a stream under the hillside. The pebbles on the ground began to increase, so the car began to bump violently.

Xia Qi let out a sigh of relief: "We're almost in Liaoyang. We haven't seen a few villages and few pedestrians along the way. It's really desolate..."

In Liaoyang City, a piece of land was opened up on both sides of the official road outside the city. This is the farmland of officers and soldiers. Vegetables were grown, and food was also grown, but the harvest could not meet the basic living needs of the garrison, and their food mainly depended on transporting from the pass.

For the convenience of soldiers, horses and grain trucks, the two lands are still quite far away from the main official road. At this moment, this open space is already full of soldiers with bright armor and full of spirit. The guards came from ten miles outside the city. At the beginning, all the commanders and envoys in the city continued to the yamen, with one post at five steps and one sentry at ten steps, and the guards were heavily guarded.

The inside and outside of the city gates were also cleaned up, cow dung and horse manure were absolutely invisible, and even the few common people who left the city and entered the city were driven to other city gates to enter and exit.Anyway, the city isn't too big, and it's not a big deal to walk around for a few miles with mud legs. Today, the generals in the city are trembling, so can the common people be allowed to mix it up?

The people standing on both sides of the road waiting to meet the Duke are all well-trained elite soldiers. They stood there, and saw the flags flying, but the two phalanxes were as motionless as piles. They had been standing like this for nearly an hour. , It can be seen that the military law is strict.

The cavalry who greeted the Duke had already traveled hundreds of miles away. As soon as they received the Duke, cavalry would continue to return to tell the position that the Duke had arrived. The troops waiting on both sides of the road were the first A cavalry sent out of the city when they returned to report.

This kind of ostentation, which is close to the loess mat road, clean water pouring on the street, and welcoming the emperor from a distance, is almost the same as welcoming the emperor. In fact, the generals in Liaoyang City are restless today, because they are in awe of welcoming the emperor. Pick up Xia Qi.

Xia Qi is the highest-ranking official in Liaoyang City since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. If she doesn't put on such a posture, Liaoyang officials really don't know how to greet her.

Moreover, the governor has a lot of authority. Except for a few senior military officers who are in command of the yamen, the governor can kill other generals and act cheaply. All the officials are no longer a problem, how can these local emperors who support their own troops and dominate one side not feel restless.

The commander of Liaodong has 25 guards. Except for a few generals who are at the forefront of the Tatar border, they did not come to greet them in person, but only sent deputy representatives. Drink tea in the building and wait. More than 20 generals crowded the gates and buildings of the city. These generals rarely saw each other. Now that they had the opportunity, those with similar temperaments would gather together and talk loudly, which was very lively.

But there were two people inside, with no smiles on their faces, one of them was Shen Yong, the commander of the capital sitting at the top, Shen Yong was about forty, with fair skin, a protruding forehead and straight nose, three beards under his jaw, and he was dressed in a military uniform He was very majestic, but his face was cloudy and uncertain, as if he was full of thoughts.The generals also noticed his expression, and they wanted to come forward to ask a few words of concern, but since Wei Chunbing, the commander of Shenyang Zhongwei, his closest subordinate, had a bad nose, no one dared to fight and get closer to him Officials deliberately lowered their voices when talking with others, so as not to offend the adults.

The other general, who didn't speak or smile, was wearing a worn-out official uniform, with a long scar on his cheek, making him appear more vicious.This man was also in his 40s, with a full beard, thick eyebrows and leopard eyes, sitting there upright with his hands on his knees, as if he was vomiting.

Shen Yong was worried secretly. He had suppressed the matter of the Tatars plundering [-] guards. He had been in Liaodong for many years and had many confidants, so he was confident that he could suppress it. After the military order came, Shen Yong felt that something was wrong.Although the court's decree stated that since King Ning's internal adjustment, the northern border guards have generally set up officials, and the changes have been relatively large. The emperor sent ministers to inspect the border guards this time to understand the situation along the border, but something happened to the [-] guards just now. It is too coincidental that the imperial court sent a Duke of the State with an unprecedented level of attention.

"I heard that when the governor of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River was in charge of the military affairs, he killed a governor while talking and laughing. I'm afraid that the one who came here was not kind, and the kind person would not come!"

Shen Yong thought about it, and became more and more anxious. He glanced at Temur, and planned to send Temur back immediately after welcoming the Duke. Dare to say, if the imperial court sends a minister now, if he is asked to make a few slanderous words in front of the Duke, the result may be very bad.

Just as he was thinking about it, a schoolboy rushed into the city tower, clasped his fists and said, "Report! Mr. Du Si, Lord Fu Guo has arrived ten miles away from Liaoyang City!"

Immediately there was silence in the city tower, Shen Yonghuo stood up, glanced around at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, follow me out of the city to welcome the Duke!"

The horn sounded, and the chiefs of the guards filed out of the city, spreading out on both sides, and each stood still according to their rank. The flags were trembling, and the ranks of soldiers were solemn and solemn, as motionless as a mountain.

In the distance, Xia Qi's army came in a mighty way, with bright armor, neat saddle shoes, and flying banners, as Xu as a forest!
