Han Xi, the general soldier of Liaodong, died, and died of natural disease.

This product was sick and bedridden for several months last year, and this year his health is not good. The weather turned cool in late autumn, and he couldn't afford to get sick in an instant, Zhu Houzhao just received the good news from the front line on the front foot, and the death of the Liaodong General Army on the back foot.

Tiger Skin Camp Horse Station.

The army was stationed around the post station, and the emperor and the civil officials of the army lived in the post station.

Zhu Houzhao ate the barbecue and said casually: "Han Xi is dead, the deputy chief soldier Cui Xian is good, just give him the promotion of the chief soldier, and it can be regarded as a reward for his efforts in breaking the village." ”

Wang Yuan immediately dissuaded: "Your Majesty, whoever succeeds you as the chief soldier can do it, but you can't leave the position to the Liaoyang Ma clan, the Cui clan and the Han clan." Moreover, it is best not to use Liaodong military attachés, and other border town generals can be transferred to Liaodong as commanders. ”

"I know what Erlang means," Zhu Houzhao was not confused, and asked, "Who is more suitable?" What about this person? ”

Wang Yuan replied very bluntly: "If Yin Yong has the general army in Liaodong, the situation in Liaodong will definitely be rotten!" ”

Xu Yong also started by suppressing Liu Liu and Liu Qi, although he was once attached to Jiang Bin, he had a good relationship with all aspects. The emperor had a good impression of him, and the civil officials also appreciated him very much, just because this guy was very obedient and relatively brave in battle.

But greed greed greed!

For Yin Yong, what kills and riskes merit, what arsonists and plunder, is just like commonplace.

Historically, this guy served as the general soldier of Liaodong for five years, and soon after leaving office, there was a "great hunger in Liaodong". At the same time as the imperial court was providing disaster relief, it sent ministers to check the number of soldiers, and there were only more than 60,000 Liaodong soldiers left in full 150,000.

It's not that there are still 60,000 people who can fight, but they are pulled out for the imperial history to check, and there are only so many regular soldiers in the Communist Party.

The military attache of Liaodong definitely still wants to eat soldiers' salaries, and it is impossible to honestly cooperate with the inspection, and most of them will get the surplus of the army to fill the number, so the actual soldiers left in Liaodong are likely to have only forty or fifty thousand left in the early years of Jiajing!

Although it was not entirely caused by Xu Yong, he was absolutely to blame, and he didn't know how many Liaodong soldiers were forced to flee. Later, this guy was transferred to suppress the Datong mutiny, but before he entered Datong City, he set up troops to loot on the outskirts of the city, which to a certain extent led to the rebellion of the soldiers who had surrendered - the people on the outskirts of the city, most of whom were the families of the rebels, because it was itself a garrison.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Wang Qiong definitely recommends Yin Yong. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Wang Shangshu looks at people, and he is not accurate every time. ”

After Jiang Bin fell, Yin Yong took refuge in Wang Qiong.

This thing is very good at being a wall-to-wall grass, in history Wang Qiong fell, he took refuge in Yang Tinghe, and after Yang Tinghe fell, he jumped back to join Wang Xian. The civil officials fell several times, and Yin Yong continued to be promoted, just because he really knew how to fight, and he knew how to tie up with the civil servants in power. Wenchen doesn't take a military attache to heart, no matter how many times he changes jobs, as long as he can be a qualified tool man.

Since Wang Yuan has denied one of Wang Qiong's henchmen, he has to recommend another one, after all, he still has to have a good relationship with the military department.

"Your Majesty, do you remember Wang Xun?" Wang Yuan asked.

"Naturally, I remember, this person is really good." Of course, Zhu Houzhao has a deep memory.

Wang Xun used to be the deputy general army of Gansu, and after being transferred to the general army of Datong, he fought with the emperor. The one who was the bait to drag the little Mongolian prince was the army under the personal command of Wang Xun, who had been promoted to the governor of the prefecture and was currently serving as the chief soldier in Ningxia.

Wang Yuan's impression of Wang Xun is very, very good, this person not only knows how to fight, but also is more "incorruptible" than ordinary generals.

Greedy, he will definitely still be greedy, but at least there must be a bottom line, Wang Yuan's requirements for military attachés are not high.

This candidate Zhu Houzhao is very satisfied, after all, they have fought together. Zhu Houzhao forced Wang Xun to send troops at that time, and almost killed Wang Xun, so it is reasonable that he should be specially promoted.

……

Zhu Houzhao returned to Liaoyang in triumph, and Wang Xiaozhong, the capital of Liaodong, led officials of all sizes out of the city to greet him.

Although the battle was fought by Yuan Da, Zhu Houzhao, as the coach, still enjoys the greatest exploits. Especially for civilian officials, they are too lazy to pay attention to the generals, and only remember the commander of a war.

In this shabby place in the Northeast, it was too cold after winter, so Zhu Houzhao didn't wait for Yuan Da to come back, so he went back to Beijing very consciously.

However, Wang Yuan stayed!

As the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, the governor of Liaodong, the main task is to supervise the Ma Zheng of Liaodong.

Yuan Da was promoted to the commander of Gaizhou (Zheng Sanpin), and the official worshiped General Zhaoyong (Zheng Sanpin). The 500 cavalry under his command was also promoted by one level as a whole, and even the small soldiers became flag officers.

At the same time, Yuan Da and 500 elite horsemen all stayed in Liaodong to cooperate with Wang Yuan to supervise Ma Zheng. By the way, based on these 500 cavalry, it was expanded into a full 3,000 "Shenxiao Battalion" to prepare for the recovery of Duoyan Sanwei in the future.

The establishment of the "Shenxiao Battalion" is already in place, and the generals and officers are also available, and for the time being, there is only a shortage of war horses and soldiers.

"That Cui Xian is a wreck, and he actually gave his mother a reward, Lao Tzu was so angry that he almost cut him down with a knife!" When Yuan Da saw Wang Yuan, he couldn't help but complain about his friendly generals.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "People help you guard the riverbank, prevent thousands of Jurchen from killing your back, and finally bring Jurchen nobles to the city, no matter how you say it, it is a great achievement." ”

"That's right, he's lucky." Yuan Da said depressedly.

If there was no Cui Xian to lead the troops to press the formation on the opposite bank, Bu Ha really wouldn't dare to jump back directly. If thousands of Jurchens cross the river, Yuan Da will be flanked from front to back, and if Dole also leads his troops to cross the river, Yuan Da will even be flanked from three sides.

Although Cui Xian is very cowardly, he is definitely meritorious, and his credit is second only to Yuan Da.

Yuan Da asked: "Your Majesty asked me to be the commander of Gaizhou, is it going to live in Gaizhou?" ”

"Yes, the hereditary commander of Gaizhou, your son can succeed him in the future." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Yuan Da scratched his head and said, "Then I have to bring my wife and children too." ”

Yuan Da's wife was the cook given to Wang Yuan by the widow Yang. Burned a famous dish in one hand, and the birth is quite attractive, but he was once married.

Yuan Da didn't dislike this, he asked Wang Yuan three years ago, and now his son is almost a year old.

As for Gaizhou, it is the place where there were three major disasters in a row, and the commanders and envoys fled without a trace. The imperial court was considering how to recover, so Wang Yuan suggested that the emperor should throw Yuan Da there to form a "Shenxiao Battalion", and by the way, Yuan Da would be asked for a hereditary command position.

Buha, who surrendered to the village, inherited the position of the chief of the right guard of Jianzhou, and was named the governor of the imperial court (the governor of a different race, everywhere in the border towns).

It is impossible to capture Gule Village and kill all the local Jurchens.

Even if the Jurchens of the convenient ten miles are killed, the Jurchens from other places will slowly migrate over. In particular, the Hunhe Department and the Sukesu Protectorate Department will definitely expand to the southeast and occupy the original territory of the Jianzhou Right Guard, and their strength will develop rapidly at that time. Therefore, it is better to keep those old, weak, sick and disabled, and let the incapable Buha continue to rule the tribe and balance each other with the surrounding Jurchen tribes.

In the winter of the sixteenth year of Zhengde, Wang Yuan, Yuan Da, and Cai Tianyou, with more than 400 elite cavalry, went south to Gaizhouwei. They need to gather the displaced people, set up the Tuntian Guard, restore the population and production first, and then set up the "Shenxiao Battalion" without such a hurry.

Yuan Da and his cavalry, everyone has a share of the land in Gaizhou, and they will be able to bring their families to settle down next winter.

Gaizhou, which is almost the Yingkou of later generations, has extremely convenient conditions, and can even engage in maritime trade.

What's more, Gaizhou can raise horses!

The Ming Dynasty set up the "Yongning Supervisor" (horse breeding institution) in southern Liaoning, under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou, Longtan, Qinghe, Shenhe four gardens. Among them, Qingheyuan (full name "Qingheyuan Horse Temple") is in Gaizhou, and there are horse pastures along the Qinghe River, and Wang Yuan plans to start restoring the horse administration from here.
