Chapter 559: Out of the Plug (Happy Lantern Festival to everyone!) )
Seeing that it was about to be April, the wild grass on the grassland had grown very luxuriantly, and the undulating grassland, sometimes a river, a distance of several zhang wide, flowed loudly, and a silver jade belt meandered out on the green grassland. The hills near and far are overgrown with wood, the sky is blue, and the white clouds are very low because of the clarity of the air, as if they can be reached by climbing the low mountains.
Roe deer, wild free, wild pheasant and other wild animals were disturbed by the march of the infantry team, and suddenly jumped up from the grass, and the soldiers of the long-distance march were immediately shocked, and some people took advantage of the fact that the generals were no longer in front of them, and flew up an arrow to shoot it, once they hit the wild thing, they quickly ran over to pick it up, and the partners covered him, with a look of excitement, which meant that when the next meal was over, the meat could be opened.
In the Chinese army, a long-wheel cart with a wide axle and large wheels, pulled by four jujube red horses, is advancing briskly, with a high pole inserted on the wheel, and a letter flag hanging on it, with a line of big characters on it: "Governor of Liaodong Military Affairs." On the other side of the carriage is a second letter flag, on which is written "Fuguo Gongyang".
The handlebar is a sturdy man, with a large sunshade hat and a long whip with snakeskins, but he does not actually urge the horses, but only gallops forward by them, which is enough to keep up with the speed of the whole marching team.
In the spacious and gorgeous carriage, Xia Qi sat on the soft mattress cushion and rolled up the car curtain halfway, so that the sunlight just poured into the car without being too dazzling.
There were several dossiers on the table, Xia Shi was opening a volume, reading it carefully, looking at it for a while, thinking about it, and when he realized something, Jing picked up the pen from the pen holder and wrote down a few words or made a mark next to it.
He is making up for his knowledge about Liaodong, and he has limited knowledge of Liaodong in the early Ming Dynasty. He knew that with the elite he brought, it would be easy to solve the problem in front of him, and he could complete the mission given to him by the emperor very decently, and then return to Jinling in style. As for how Liaodong will grow in the future, it will not come to him if there is any change in a few hundred years, but since he is here, he wants to do something in earnest.
If he is here to be the governor of Liaodong and wants to be an official here for ten or twenty years, it is understandable to do so, even if it is not for a thousand years. industry, but also have to plan for his political achievements, but with his white status today, he will not be able to stay in Liaodong for too long, the emperor sent him this time, in fact, the original intention is only to solve the immediate problem, Xia Tao not only focuses on the present, but also thinks about the long-term, it is indeed a bit self-inflicted.
However, he feels that everything in the world always has pros and cons, this Liaodong incident is not an opportunity, now the Ming Dynasty has not been open for a long time, and the time of running Liaodong is not too long, if he comes, he can correct some problems, create some examples, with his prestige and status in the court, the successor will not dare to swing his policy easily, then there is not much difference with him himself in Liaodong. The most updated super-fast text
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, after more than 30 years of growth, Liaodong has been like a new sprout of new green, through some actions that do not conform to the history of this Xi, it is like a set of completely inconsistent fertilization, watering, pruning process, so that the business for decades, will become a completely inconsistent growth, Liaodong will no longer be the history of Liaodong, if this model is successful, the Ming gravediggers will no longer be presented in Liaodong.
All things are immortal, and the Ming Dynasty can not escape the inevitable process of "birth, old age, sickness and death", and the most ideal result is to complete the process of alternating and transforming the old and the new from within the nation, as long as its future is not buried in the hands of a group of barbarians, so that the Chinese civilization will retreat completely, and it will be far behind in the race with the whole world.
The car suddenly fluctuated heavily, the brush rolled down from the pen stand, and a few ink stains were stained on the table, Xia Qi picked up the brush and put it away again, clamped it tightly, and then closed the file, pulled up the car curtain completely, and the car teeth immediately brightened.
The probe looked out, the cart was full of swords and arrows on the left and right, and the sturdy guards were all riding on tall and majestic horses, and further on, there was a foothill, the slope was a sparse forest, and under the hillside was a stream, and the pebbles on the ground began to increase, so the car began to bump violently.
Xia Qi sighed softly: "It's almost time to Liaoyang, along the way, I didn't see a few villages at all, and there were few pedestrians, it's really desolate..."
Liaoyang City, outside the city on both sides of the official road opened up a piece of land, this is the officers and soldiers' tuntian, the area is not very large, because of the climate outside the customs of this era, not suitable for the vigorous growth of farming, the soldiers opened up a part of the farmland, mainly to grow vegetables, grain is also planted, but the harvest can not meet the basic living needs of the garrison at all, their grain is mainly dependent on the transport from the customs.
For the convenience of soldiers, horses and grain wagons, the two fields are still quite far away from the main official road, and at this moment this open space is already full of soldiers with bright clothes and full spirits, and the guards start from ten miles outside the city, and continue to the city's command and envoy yamen, five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the guard is heavily guarded.
The inside and outside of the city gate were also cleaned, cow dung and horse dung were absolutely invisible, and even the people who had not gone out of the city and entered the city were also driven to other city gates. The city is not very big, and it is not a big deal to go around a few miles with mud legs, and today the generals of the city are trembling, can they still let the common people come to mix blindly?
Standing on both sides of the road expecting to greet the Lord Guogong, they were all well-trained elite soldiers, they stood there, only to see the flag flying, but the two phalanxes were like piles of immovable, they had been standing like this for nearly an hour, which showed the strictness of military law.
The cavalry that greeted the prince was already a hundred miles away, and as soon as he received the prince, there would be an inexhaustible number of cavalrymen returning to tell him where he had arrived, and the army waiting on both sides of the road was the first cavalry to return to the city to report the message.
This kind of pomp that is almost like a loess mat road, a clean water splash street, and a hundred miles away, is almost the same as picking up the emperor, in fact, the generals of Liaoyang City are restless today, and they are picking up Xia Qi with the same awe as the emperor.
Xia Qi is the highest-ranking official in Liaoyang City since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and if he doesn't put on such a posture, Liaoyang officials really don't know how to greet him.
Moreover, the governor's authority is extremely heavy, except for a few high-ranking military attaches who command the yamen, the governor can kill and take other generals and act cheaply, and now this governor is the title of the duke, so even a few officials of the command department of the capital are not a problem, how can these emperors who support their own troops and dominate one side not sit still.
Twenty-five guards under the command of the Liaodong Metropolitan Command Division, except for a limited number of military generals who were at the forefront of the Tatar border did not come to greet them in person, and only sent deputies to represent them, the other guards all arrived, and now they are drinking tea and waiting in the city gate building. More than 20 generals, the city gate building is full of bells, these generals usually rarely see each other, now there is an opportunity, like-minded people get together, talking, very lively.
There are two people inside, there is no smile on their faces, one of them is the commander Shen Yong who is sitting at the top, Shen Yong is in his forties, his skin is fair, his forehead is straight, his nose is straight, and he has three locks of slight hair under his chin, and his uniform is very majestic, but his face is cloudy and uncertain, and he seems to be full of concerns. The generals also noticed his expression, and wanted to come forward to ask a few words, but since his closest subordinate, Wei Chunbing, the commander of the Shenyang Zhongwei, touched his nose, no one dared to fight, and the officials who were closer to him deliberately lowered their voices when talking to others, so as not to make the adults unhappy.
Another military general, who does not say a word, wears a half-new official uniform, with a long scar on his cheek, which looks more fierce. This man, also in his forties, with a beard, thick eyebrows and leopard eyes, and his hands on his knees, sat there upright, as if he were vomiting, and he was the commander of the 30,000 guards, Pei Ishtemor.
Shen Yong secretly worried that the Tatar raiding of 30,000 guards had been suppressed by him, he had been in Liaodong for many years, and he had many confidants, so he was confident that he could still suppress this matter, but after Yang Xu, the Duke of the Auxiliary State, suddenly came to the will of the governor of Liaodong Military, Shen Yong felt that something was wrong. Although the will of the imperial court said that since the internal transfer of King Ning, the northern border defense has set up liuguan, and the change is relatively large, and the emperor sent ministers to inspect the border defense this time to understand the situation along the border, but as soon as the accident happened to Sanwanwei, the imperial court sent a prince with unprecedented attention, which is also too coincidental.
"I heard that when the governor of the country was in the military affairs of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, he killed a capital division while talking and laughing, and I am afraid that this time it is only because the one who comes is not good, and the good one does not come!"
Shen Yong thought about it, becoming more and more worried, he glanced at Temur, thinking that after receiving the Duke of Guo, he would immediately send Temur back, this guy was just suppressed by himself, and he had always dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and now the minister sent by the imperial court, if he was asked to make a few words of slander in front of the Duke of Guo, the result would probably be very bad.
Just thinking about it, a small colonel hurriedly broke into the city building, clenched his fists and said, "Report!" Lord Dusi, Grandpa Fuguo has arrived ten miles away from Liaoyang City! ”
There was silence in the city tower immediately, Shen Yonghuo stood up, glanced around the generals on the left and right, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, follow me out of the city and welcome the prince!" ”
The horn sounded, the officers of the guards rushed out of the city, the two sides were scattered, each stood still according to the rank, the infantry and cavalry phalanx were in good spirits, the swords and guns were shining, and the spirit was rising, and at a glance, I saw the banner hunting and trembling, and the queue of the soldiers was solemn and solemn, and it was as immobile as a mountain.
Far away, the Rong horse led by Xia Qi came mightily, with bright armor, neat saddle shoes, and a big banner hunting, which was like a forest!
