Yizhou Wei was founded in the 20th year of Hongwu, and there were 5,000 households at the beginning, but now there are only 2,000 households. The Acropolis is located on the 13 hills on the Yalu River, across the river from Euiju in North Pyongan Province, North Korea.

During the Imjin War, the Korean army was defeated and retreated, and its king Yi Hao wanted to retreat to Uijuwei on the other side of the river for refuge, but was stopped by Yang Ho. Fortunately, otherwise, the battle to aid Korea will inevitably become much more difficult.

Since Li Chengliang withdrew from the military and civilians of Kuandian, Liubao fell into the hands of Jianzhou, and Yizhou was the only land passage between Korea and the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the forefront of the Ming army in Liaodong. When the six forts were still in the hands of the Ming army, the forefront of the Ming army in Liaodong was pushed forward by 300 miles.

The most direct consequence of abandoning Liubao is to face the two guards of Yizhou and Dingliao directly to Jianzhou, once something happens, it is impossible to stop the Jurchen soldiers and horses with the existing garrisons of Yizhou and Dingliao alone, especially Yizhou.

If Yizhou is captured, the Dingliao Zhuwei will definitely fall one after another, and then the Jianzhou troops will go straight to the three important towns of Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Guangning, and even the communication between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea will be cut off.

After the fall of Uiju, the communication between Ming and Korea mainly relied on sea routes.

Wei Gonggong and his entourage entered Yizhou City at Antai Gate, and it took less than an hour from landing to entering the city and controlling the Yizhou Acropolis.

The Yizhou Wei people were extremely respectful about the arrival of the maritime eunuch Wei Gonggong, in addition to being uneasy.

Because, the eunuch Wei came by order, and there were brocade wrestlers with him on the left and right.

"Your Majesty is very angry about the matter of the Six Castles. A few times ago, Liao pressed Xiong to give His Majesty a few questions, and His Majesty read them all...... This time, His Majesty called our family over, just to take a walk on the land of the Six Forts, take a look, and see what is going on in the Six Forts... In addition, check how many of you Liaodong officials followed Li Chengliang to deceive the imperial court......"

In Yizhouwei's lecture, Wei Gonggong directly named Li Chengliang, and the qualitative use of words sounded quite serious, which made Yizhouwei and other officials feel chills down their spines, and vaguely felt that something had happened to Ning Yuanbo in Beijing.

Fox fake tiger power, Wei Gonggong either doesn't do it, if you want to do it, you have to do it all the time. This thing has been done for a long time, and it has become natural to get used to it, and its words and deeds have invisibly added the emperor's signboard to the supreme character.

didn't need to be too deliberate, and a few words completely subdued the Yizhou gang.

Therefore, at the banquet that followed, He Shiyi, the general of Yizhou, together with 2,000 subordinate households, presented 3,000 taels of silver to Gonggong Wei.

Grateful for the loyalty of a certain person to guard the border for the country, Gonggong Wei couldn't bear to let them speculate, so he reluctantly accepted it.

Thousands of miles to Liaodong, the courtesy is light.

Feeling that He's name was familiar, he asked: "I heard that there is a guerrilla named He Shixian in Shenyang, does this person have anything to do with you?" ”

Listening to his father-in-law's question, He Shiyi, the general of Yizhou, hurriedly said: "Back to my father-in-law, then He Shixian is the brother of the last general." ”

Gonggong Wei suddenly realized: "No wonder I listen to your Shaanxi dialect," and then his face showed a smile, "Mizhi's mother-in-law, Suide's Han, Yuci is a hero in this place." (Yuci is under the jurisdiction of Suide Prefecture)

These words made He Shiyi excited when he heard this, and he didn't want Gonggong Wei to know his hometown.

Of course, Gonggong Wei knew, not only because his brother He Shixian was a famous general, but also because his hometown Yuci was really a place to produce elite soldiers.

When he came up, he saw the other side of the river from afar, and couldn't help but get up and come to the window, pointing to the other side and asking He Shiyi: "The other side is the court?" ”

"Yes, father-in-law, on the other side of the river is the North Road of the Chao Domain, and there is also the city of Yiju." He Shiyi said.

Gonggong Wei nodded and ordered left and right: "Take our clairvoyant mirror." ”

If you come to the Yalu River, you must see North Korea across the river, which is a tourist tradition.

Picking up the clairvoyant mirror, the father-in-law concentrated on it, and after staring at it, his eyes immediately became round, and then he put down the clairvoyant mirror with a look of shame and anger, and scolded: "How can this dynasty be so unruly, how can a woman be exposed in broad daylight... What about the chest, what kind of system is this! ”

It turned out that on the other side of the river, there were more than a dozen women of the dynasty who were doing laundry, but the dress was too "avant-garde" for my father-in-law to accept.

"My father-in-law doesn't know about this Korean folk custom..."

He Shiyi hurriedly explained a few words, generally this is a unique custom of the Korean country, and the women of its country, both young and old, are like this, and the only aristocratic women do not do this, but because they are bound by the etiquette law.

"Oh, since it's a vassal custom, it's to be respected..."

Gonggong Wei respects different cultural customs the most, and he doesn't care about it at the moment, he just wants to find a time to go to the court to appreciate the traditional culture in a few days.

When he was full of wine and food, his father-in-law did not come to Yiju to play, so he asked someone to remove the banquet, and then ordered someone to hang a map on the wall.

When the Yizhou Wei people looked at the map, they felt very familiar, but if they looked closely, they were very different, and they were all surprised, and they didn't know what Gonggong Wei meant.

Looking at the Northeast situation map drawn by himself in combination with the map of Liaodong obtained from Jinzhou, Gonggong Wei himself was also very emotional, took a few steps forward to the front of the map, looked sideways at everyone, pressed his palm in the Kuandian area, and asked: "You can know that the six forts are like the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Song Dynasty to my Ming Dynasty, and now we have lost the six forts, and our family is really sad." ”

It is not an exaggeration to compare the six forts of Kuandian to the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Song Dynasty.

Because it was precisely after obtaining the Liubao territory and receiving a large number of Han people supplements that Nurhachi's state-building regime began to be truly built, and after a few years, Nurhachi openly raised the anti-flag.

Geographically, the hundreds of square kilometers of Kuandian Liubao is a natural barrier on the Liaodong Plain, and it is also a large depth buffer for the Ming army in Liaodong to face Jianzhou.

Now this important area has been directly given to Nurhachi by Li Chengliang, which is extremely distressing no matter how you look at it.

"We heard before we came, now Liubao is the actual control of Jianzhou, although this Jianzhou is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but the Jurchens have always been dissatisfied with the king, the tribes have many rebellions, and the leaders often have ambitions, so Chenghua was once a big disaster in Liaodong before, and then Wang Zhi led the army out of the palace to sweep the caves, so that there is today's situation...... However, I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of what happens, although the two guards on the left and right of Jianzhou obey the orders of the imperial court, but after all, they are of a different race, and the so-called non-my race will have different hearts, so I have to guard against it..."

Speaking of this, Gonggong Wei was deeply saddened and his expression was heavy, "Liubao fell into the hands of Jianzhou, which undoubtedly increased the strength of Jianzhou, making it like a tiger with wings, if something really happens, Yizhou will bear the brunt, so let's come this time, not only to go to Liubao to take a look, but also to tell Your Majesty what we have seen and heard according to the truth, so that the imperial court can re-determine the ownership of Liubao." It is also necessary to focus on what is seen and act expediently. ”

After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on the faces of the generals in Yizhou: "What did Your Majesty say to us when we left Beijing?" ”

Where do the generals of Yizhou know, they are all curious.

Gonggong Wei didn't sell Guanzi either, he said with a lot of anger: "Your Majesty said, let's do things, he can rest assured, so if you want us to do it boldly..... we have to listen to Your Majesty, but we don't know, you may let us rest assured?" ”
