Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun went out of the fortress with [-] elite soldiers. Although he dared to resist before beheading Shen Yong, Liaodong is extremely important. Even if it is just in case, it will lead to irreparable and serious consequences. Liaoyang can generate enough deterrence. Even if Shen Yong is not willing to die, no general will take risks with him.

Xia Xun's men and horses are strong and equipped with more advanced equipment. Compared with the officers and soldiers waiting outside Liaoyang City, their overall quality is much higher. In front are heavily armored warriors riding on extremely powerful horses, followed by a large formation of well-equipped infantry. When they arrived at the city of Liaoyang, the army stopped in awe, separated from left to right, and Gao Mou, a four-horse horse, came out proudly.

The curtain of the carriage was lowered, and Mou's four rear riders followed closely, and drove up to the front of the Liaodong guards. Mou put his whip in his hand, and turned back to lift the sedan chair curtain. Xia Xun wore a jeweled crown on his head and a unicorn uniform. Putting on a pair of white and black-faced official boots, he stepped out of the sedan chair as soon as he bent down, holding a bright yellow satin-faced imperial edict in his hand.

Although everyone knew that the Fu Guogong was young, they couldn't help being secretly surprised when they saw his appearance.This duke is really young, handsome and handsome, with a majestic demeanor. He possesses an aura that catches people while staring at him. His handsome and handsome appearance is enough to be infatuated with countless lonely ladies and ladies. It also precipitates the majestic temperament that makes heroes bow down.

It was just a face-to-face meeting, and the officials present had a feeling: this Duke is not a second-generation ancestor who inherits the shadow of his father's grandfather and inherits the title. Look at this, he is very alert. He is indeed as rumored, and he is not a fool. people.

Shen Yong was even more flustered, and hastily stepped forward, clasped his fists in a military salute, and took the lead in shouting: "The last general, Shen Yong, and Liaodong 25 Weidusi, welcome the Lord of the Ministry!"

Xia Xun's sharp gaze lightly relaxed on his face, and he thought, "He is Shen Yong? Hun has a good appearance!"

Xia Xun calmly stepped up and down the ground, stood still, and said loudly: "There is an order from the Holy Spirit, all the generals will kneel down to listen to the order!"

Originally, the emperor ordered not to enter the barracks, and the army only performed military salutes. Xia Xun deliberately ordered to kneel down to listen to the order. Shen Yong and the others were slightly surprised, but they did not dare to resist. Xia Xun took out the imperial order and read it aloud .

This edict is different from the secret edict given to him by Zhu Di. It was an edict sent to him by the emperor at his request on the way to the north. The affairs did not include the words of beheading Shen Yong and sealing Temur.In fact, it is only equivalent to a power of attorney.

Xia Xun announced the imperial decree, and the generals shouted long live, but Xia Xun didn't tell them to get up, but turned his eyes back to Shen Yong, and said, "The emperor asked me to come and investigate something. A few days ago, the Tatars plundered [-] guards, is there such a thing?"

Shen Yong's heart skipped a beat, and he panicked immediately: "The governor really asked about this, he didn't even enter the city gate, so he asked about it, I'm afraid it will be worse this time!"

Shen Yong's face changed slightly, and he reluctantly responded: "Master Huibutang, some time ago, the master did disturb our border, intending to open up the original."

Xia Xun smiled faintly, and asked again: "According to reports, Shen Dusi stood still and did not fight behind closed doors. Is there such a thing?"

Shen Yong's heart was shocked: "According to the report, according to the report? Who submitted the secret report to the court, yes, it must be Temuer, this bastard, I should have found a reason and chopped him down. !"

He hated Pei Yishitmoor full of resentment, but Xia Xun had to answer Xia Xun's words, so Shen Yong had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Master Huibutang, the final general is not afraid of fighting, but because the road is far away, my son Attacking the border is just to plunder the people's property, and leave as soon as they touch it, and the last general retreats before he can send troops, this must be someone spreading rumors to confuse the public and slander the last general, please check it out!"

Before Shen Yong could say a word, Pei Shi Temuer was so angry that his lungs exploded. He immediately jumped up and rushed forward a few steps. The guards around Xia Xun immediately stopped him with their guns. He cried out: "He's lying! Master Butang, Shen Yong is lying! From Liaoyang to Kaiyuan, the journey is less than four hours. As soon as the son's forward troops arrived, the last general sent someone to report to him urgently, and the last general led the way. The soldiers fought with the dazi for two days and two nights, and then they had to retreat to Kaiyuan because they were alone, and they were attacked by the dazi for a day. They sent a total of eight messengers to ask for help. Shen Yongruo was willing to send troops. Climbed it too!"

Speaking of this, Temur burst into tears: "Just because Shen Yongwei can't fight, the vicinity of Kaiyuan has been bullied, the villages and towns have been looted, and more than a thousand people have been taken away. My son-in-law guards the Eight Tigers Road and fights hard." And die, pity my daughter, who was also taken away by dazi, she is pregnant, my unborn grandson..." This Eight Tigers Road is Faku County, which was the territory of Thirty Thousand Guards at that time, and it was the territory of the Tartars. The forefront of the Tartar invasion, later generations called this place Faku, which is actually the transliteration of the Eight Tigers.

Xia Xun gave Shen Yong a cold look, and Shen Yong's face turned blue and red, and he argued, "My lord has learned that Pei Shitmoor is not good at defending the country, so in order to shirk his responsibility, he exaggerated the enemy's power and tainted the last general.

These Jurchens usually only ask for money from the imperial court, and they don't know how to move forward before the battle. They are born in poor mountains and bad waters. "

When welcoming the governor of Liaodong, Shen Yong refused to allow Temur to meet him on the grounds of urgent military affairs, and only asked him to send his deputy commander to greet him. The senior officer came, and he insisted on coming to see him in person, not wanting that something really went wrong now. The dazi raided and plundered the vicinity of Kaiyuan for three days, ravaging one side, burning, killing and plundering countless people, Shen Yong never sent a single soldier, as long as this matter is investigated, there is no way to quibble, so Shen Yong had to start from the perspective of race. proceed.

In his mind, the governor of Liaodong military affairs in this country will not last long, so if he wants to make achievements in Liaodong, he still has a lot of places to rely on himself.And Temur is a Jurchen. At that time, the Ming court imposed a confinement policy on the subordinate Hui tribes. All the people of the Jurchen tribe who took refuge in the subordinates would be properly resettled, and the houses would be provided with food, firewood, utensils and even cattle and horses.

But a policy is a policy, and as soon as you read the scriptures, the Ming people in Liaodong discriminate against the Jurchens more seriously than some white people discriminate against blacks. The leaders of the Jurchen tribe who became officials were rarely treated as colleagues or robes, but as slaves.

Shen Yong couldn't justify his guilt, so he could only talk about race relations, hoping that Xia Xun would favor him.Temur almost vomited blood when he heard it, but Xia Xun laughed and said, "Shen Yong, the person who impeached you is a Han just like you!"

Shen Yong was stunned, and asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"

Xia Xun's face darkened, and he said, "Don't worry, you will all go to court one day! Someone, take Shen Yong down and wait for punishment!"

Shen Yong was stunned. He didn't expect that the first thing Xia Xun came up with was to take down a general who was only talking about Dingdong's military affairs and take down Ximeng to train in Ximeng and so on to protest. Several soldiers rushed up and tied him up. Be strong.Shen Yong kept protesting, the guard thought it was noisy, so he pulled out a jet-black rag from nowhere and stuffed it into his cashmere.

Seeing that the governor is so powerful, all the generals present were silent. Natmur knelt down and kowtowed, thanking him again and again. In fact, he came today to sue, but because he has always been discriminated against, he never thought of suing This Shen Dusi, who has been operating in Liaodong for many years, just couldn't hold his breath anymore. Unexpectedly, when the Duke Fu came, the first thing he did was to take down Shen Yong. At this moment, Temur was really grateful.

"There are 25 guards and horses in Liaodong Dusi, a total of 15 people, with a total of 390 seven people, a total of 13 two mules and horses, and a total of 670 soldiers..."

The report was directed by Zhang Jun. Shen Yong should have reported these matters, but as soon as Xia Xun came, Shen Yong was thrown into prison. Taking over in a hurry, he was so clear about military affairs, but he was a person who worked hard. Xia Xun listened carefully, and nodded secretly in his heart, already thinking of cultivating him.

In the handsome hall, more than 20 generals who dominate one side are sitting in front of their chests, not squinting.Today's Xia Xun is not the Xia Xun when he first arrived in eastern Zhejiang. At that time, he had no prestige in the army, but relied on the trust of the emperor, the deterrence of the king's order flag, and the three guards of Shuangyu, Chaohu, and Fuzhou. Only with the full support of cronies can the situation be kept under control.

This is not the case today. Even the generals far away on the border are aware of the illustrious military exploits of his governor of the five coastal provinces. Now that Hai Yu has settled down, most of the grain and grass transported by the imperial court to the north are transported by sea, which saves a lot of time and loss. Those shipping ships seem to be especially respectful of Xia Xun. Through their mouths, the Liaodong soldiers and horses are familiar with Xia Xun's deeds.

With his title as an extremely human minister, he can't restrain these arrogant soldiers, but with his military exploits, he is enough to make people respectful and tame.It took a while for Zhang Jun to finish his report. Xia Xun nodded and praised him. Zhang Qian sat down happily. Regarding the situation in Liaodong, these generals will then report on the areas they are in charge of, their soldiers, armaments, military buildings, and residents in their jurisdictions.The report lasted until noon, and only nine people were reported. Shen Yong originally prepared a feast. Although Xia Xun arrested him, he didn't waste the banquet and accepted it calmly. It was just because there were going to be discussions in the afternoon, and no alcohol was allowed. After lunch, Xia Xun took a short break, and in the afternoon Xia Xun continued to listen to reports, taking a pen from time to time to write down the points of interest to him on paper.

Unknowingly, the sky was already dark, and the lights were lit in the handsome hall. Xia Xun was still listening carefully. If he had any doubts about defense training, food transportation, ordnance, he asked people to stop to report and ask carefully. , Never be vague about any issue.

After all the generals of the guards had finished their reports, Xia Xun said with a smile: "Kaiyuan is located in the extreme north of Liaodong, and it is an unparalleled place on the six sides. There are two guards stationed in a small city." The soldiers and horses here, Emperor Taizu Gao granted the Kingdom of Han Wang to Kaiyuan, which shows the importance he attaches to this place. From this point of view, Liaodong is the leader of the important towns on the nine borders! Kaiyuan is the leader of the Liaodong fortresses!"

He stood up abruptly, and all the generals saw that they stood up together. There was a clang of armor in the hall, and Xia Xun said solemnly: "Tomorrow, the governor's office will be moved to Kaiyuan. If you have something to do, you can report to Kaiyuan! Today The night is getting dark, the generals can disperse for dinner and rest on their own, the generals have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, if you have no other matters to report, you will leave early tomorrow morning and return, there is no need to ask the governor to resign!"

All the generals were astonished when they heard the words, and it was fine to have a simple lunch, but the dinner was over. Although it was a way to clean up the dust for the Duke of the country, it might not be a way to connect with the generals, this The Duke of the country is really vigorous and resolute in his work.

What made them even more unexpected was that Xia Xun actually moved the governor's office to Kaiyuan, a small place in Kaiyuan, but controlled Haixi Jurchen in the east and north, controlled Jianzhou Jurchen in the south, and controlled Mongolia in the west and north. Encountered on three sides, that is the most dangerous and frontier place, the bridgehead of the war, the governor actually went to Kaiyuan City to take risks in person?

This place is both dangerous and impoverished. When Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Taizu, enshrined his sons as kings, the No. 20 son Zhu Song was named King of Han, and the feudal state he enfeoffed was Kaiyuan. I was often sick, so I used this as an excuse to procrastinate until Zhu Yuanzhang's strict father passed away. First, his nephew wanted to drive out all the princes who owned the vassal state, and then his fourth brother was unwilling to let the kings rule The soldiers and horses, Zhu Song was well-placed. He stayed in Jinling City all the time, with Han Wang's salary, but he refused to go to Kaiyuan to become a vassal.

It's just that the Duke of Fuguo knows that there are tigers in the mountains, so he prefers to travel to the mountains.

Although the generals were surprised, they respected this young Duke spontaneously.

All the generals followed the order and retreated one by one. Xia Xun stretched his limbs and left the handsome hall. As soon as he left the handsome hall, he called a warrior. His trusted family members are here, but they must recognize him. This person is Zuo Dan who often comes and goes in and out of Fuguo Duke's mansion.

"Zuo Dan, keep an eye on Shen Yong, go to Kaiyuan tomorrow, and take him with you!"

"Yes!"

Zuo Dan responded, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Duke, Shen Yongjiu is a general in the fortress, and has many confidants, anyway, the emperor has already made a decree, why not kill him early, so as not to think about it later. "

Xia Xun smiled and shook her head: "Even if Shen Yong has a confidant, since I sit here, I dare not make mistakes, but if they treat me in a positive way, it will inevitably ruin the event.

I already have some understanding of the mountains, rivers, geography and folk customs of Liaodong, but what I need to know most is the relationship between the generals.Look, since I said that the generals have nothing to do, they can return early in the morning..." Tomorrow there must be some generals who have something to report, so that I can find out who is far away, who is close, who is close, and who is distant. Apply the right medicine to the disease, and give the whole Liaodong a hand! Shen Yong, now it’s a stone to ask the way, more or less, it’s still useful. . . . . Sneezing, I finally insisted on coding. I’m going to bring my breakfast For lunch, let's supplement it together, asking for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!
