Chapter Ninety-Six: The Patrol (Part II)
Among the four new counties newly established by the Yan State Court in Qidi, Linzi County still occupies the core position no matter what.
Linzi County, the county government is undoubtedly Linzi City, under the jurisdiction of Changguo County (now southeast of Zhangdian District, Zibo City, Shandong), including the fiefdom of Changguo Junle, and according to Ji Kang's edict, the Lixia Yi of Linzi County was renamed Jinan County.
In addition, there are Quyi County (now Linqu County, Shandong), Anping (south of Huangchengying Village, Huangcheng Town, Linzi District, Zibo City), Diqi County (now northwest of Gaocheng Town, Gaoqing County, Shandong), Qiancheng County (now north of Gaocheng Town, Gaoqing County, Shandong), Le'an County (now northwest of Guangrao County, Shandong), Bochang County (now south of Zhaihao Village, Hubin Town, Boxing County, Shandong), Gaowan County (now Northeast Yuan Town, Zouping County, Shandong Province), Bocheng County (now 30 miles southeast of Tai'an City, Shandong), Pingyin County (now northeast of Pingyin County, Shandong), Nanyang County (now northwest of Xintai City, Shandong), Yingxian (now northwest of Laicheng District, Laiwu City, Shandong), Beihai (now Dongying, Shandong), etc.
In short, Linzi County, including Linzi County, has a total of 19 counties. Linzi County borders Zhao State and Chu State in the west, connects with Jimo County in the east, has the Bohai Sea in the north, and even Jibei County is close to each other, and Langya County is in the south.
The county capital of Jimo County is Jimo City, which has jurisdiction over 17 counties, including Penglai, Donglai, Yeyi, Chunyu, Dongmu (now Ninghai Town, Muping District, southeast of Yantai City, Shandong), Weihai (formerly known as Changyang City), Yantai (formerly known as Fucheng), Gaomi (formerly known as Chengyin City, now Gaomi City, Shandong).
Jimo County is surrounded by the sea on the east, north and south sides, and is connected to Linzi and Langya counties in the west.
The county capital of Langya County is Langya City (now Langya Town, Qingdao City, Shandong Province), which has jurisdiction over 13 counties, including Langya City, including Langya City, Dongwu, Buqi, Ji County, Ju County, Yangdu (now north of Huangtuan Village, Brickbu Township, Yinan County, Shandong), Xiahecheng (now southwest of Xinhuangdao District, Shandong), and Rizhao (formerly known as Haiqu).
Langya County is bordered by the sea in the south, Chu State in the west, Jimo County in the east, and Linzi County in the north.
The county capital of Jibei County was chosen in Lu County (now southwest of Qihe County, Dezhou City, Shandong), and the most suitable city was Gaotang, but because Gaotang was currently on the border between Yan and Zhao, it was chosen in Lu County.
Jibei County has jurisdiction over 19 counties, including Gaotang, Leling (now Leling City, Shandong), Yanci County (now Lingxian County, Shandong), Fuyang (now Dongguan, Cangxian County, Hebei), Qiantong (now northeast of Leling City, Shandong), Qixian (now the south of Decheng District, Dezhou City, Shandong), Luoyin (now Sun Geng Town, Jiyang County, Shandong), Pingyuan (now Pingyuan County, Shandong), Rao'an (now southwest of Yanshan County, Hebei), and Maiqiucheng (now northwest of Shanghe County, Shandong).
Jibei County is bordered by the sea to the east, Zhao State to the west, Hejian County of Yan State to the north, and Linzi County to the south.
According to Ji Kang's edict, the county guards and military and horse governors of the four counties of Qidi this time are:
Linzi County, the county guard Ding Wan, the military and horse governor Hu Guiliang;
Jimo County, the county guard Hao Xuejun, the military and horse governor Ma Shunda;
Langya County, the county guard is busy, and the military and horses are all governors of Anmin;
Jibei County, the county guards An Jiang An, and the military and horse governor Wu Yangjing.
After occupying Qidi, Yan added two new armies.
They are: the 11th Army of the Army, Army An Min; The Twelfth Army of the Army, Commander Ma Shunda.
Its soldiers are very ready-made, and they are two reserve armies that have entered with the army of Yan State.
The Yan Navy set up a base on the Jimo Peninsula, the First Army of the Navy was still stationed in Liaodi, and the Second Army of the Navy led by Shi Kang and Zhang Tian was stationed on the Jimo Peninsula.
Ji Kang and the cabinet minister, the general Qu, the Changguo Junlejian and others, set off from Linzi City.
Along the way, I stopped and stopped, and only after half a month did I arrive in Jimo City.
At the gate of the north city of Jimo City, the county guard Hao Xuejun and the military and horse governor Ma Shunda, as well as Shi Kang, Zhang Tian and other Yan generals, and even the famous squires of Jimo City, waited here to greet Ji Kang.
Hao Xuejun, Shi Kang and others knew Ji Kang's character very well, and knew that he was very tired of this kind of false courtesy.
Therefore, everyone greeted Ji Kang's pomp, and they didn't dare to be too public, for fear of making Ji Kang angry.
After seeing Ji Kang coming to the city gate in a car, Hao Xuejun, Ma Shunda, Shi Kang, Zhang Tian and others, as soon as they saw Ji Kang get down from the car, everyone fell to the ground.
In unison, he said, "Pay homage to my king." ”
"Everyone is flat."
"Thank you, my king."
Ji Kang took two steps forward, first helped an old squire with gray hair and beard in front of him, and personally helped him up and said:
"Old man, please get up quickly."
The gentleman was suddenly moved to tears, and his lips trembled and he said to Ji Kang: "Thank you...... Thank you, my king. ”
After greeting the other squires, he looked at Hao Xuejun and them.
In the end, I saw Shi Kang, a partner who had grown up beside him and Tian Guang who had hugged each other, whose skin had been tanned to the color of bronze.
Ji Kang came to Shi Kang and saw that Shi Kang's tears were about to come out.
"Childe, you...... There you are. ”
"Well, here we are, see how you are?"
"Childe, Shi dare didn't ...... No shame on you. ”
Ji Kang felt sour in his heart and nodded: "I know, it's a good job." Come out and lead the troops, don't you regret it? ”
"Childe, I don't regret it. It is...... It's just that I always miss you, by the way, and Wangcai. ”
"You Shi Dare, you actually compare me to Wangcai."
When everyone around heard this, they all laughed.
Everyone knew the relationship between their own king and Shi Kang, and they didn't feel abrupt at all about the words of inquiry between the two.
On the contrary, I feel unusually kind.
Ji Kang stepped forward and patted Shi Kang's shoulder, Shi Kang couldn't hold back any longer, and tears came out of his eyes.
At this time, the careful attendant Ling Wang Cong found that his own king also had tears in his eyes.
……
In late July, Ji Kang and his entourage came to Bocheng, and then they were about to return to Jidu.
In Linzi, the ministers Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai, the generals Wang Shi and Bo Wang and others all came to Bocheng in advance.
In Bo City, everyone has only one thing, that is, to climb Mount Tai and worship the gods.
This is also the unanimous request of the ministers of the Yan State Pavilion and even the ministers of the Yan State court.
Ji Kang naturally couldn't go against the wishes of the ministers.
Mount Tai, also known as Daishan, Daizong, Daiyue, Dongyue, Taiyue.
It is known as "the head of the five mountains", "the chief of the five mountains", "the respect of the five mountains" and "the first mountain in the world".
Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as the paradise of "straight to the emperor's seat", and became the sacred mountain of the people to worship and the emperor to sacrifice, and there is a saying that "Mount Tai is safe, and the four seas are safe".
Coming to this era, Ji Kang knew why Mount Tai was known as a symbol of the Chinese nation.
Since ancient times, the Yellow Emperor has climbed Mount Tai, and Emperor Shun has also patrolled Mount Tai;
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Shang king Xiangtu built the eastern capital at the foot of Mount Tai, and Zhou Tianzi built Qilu with Mount Tai as the boundary;
Before Ji Kang came to Mount Tai, a total of seventy-two kings came to Mount Tai to become gods since ancient times.
Early in the morning, when it was still dark, Ji Kang led the civil and military officials to the Tianzhu Peak of Mount Tai.
The ritual of sacrificing to the gods in Mount Tai is no different from the ritual of sacrificing to the sky.
After worshipping the gods, Ji Kang stood on the Tianzhu Peak and looked at the majestic rising sun.
Ji Kang's heart was agitated.
Cabinet ministers Lu Zhonglian, Su Dai, Jiang Qu and other civil and military officials were also extremely excited.
In the distance, it is the rising sun from the sea of clouds, and at the foot is the defense gate of the Yellow River Cliff in Pingyin County in the west, passing through the northern foot of Mount Tai, crossing Yingxian, Yangdu, Qucheng, Juxian, Dongwu, and reaching Jiaonan Langya in the east, entering the sea from Xiahe City, winding thousands of miles of the Great Wall of Qidi.
Pavilion Minister Lu Zhonglian bowed to Ji Kang and said: "Your Majesty, can you make a poem and engrave it on Mount Tai." ”
Ji Kang nodded and said without hesitation, "Okay." ”
Facing the towering mountains, Ji Kang chanted:
How is Dai Zongfu? Qi Lu Qingwei is gone.
Creation Zhong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut dusk.
Swing your chest and give birth to Zeng Yun, and decide to return to the bird.
It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance.
Ji Kang's voice echoed in the mountains of Mount Tai, and then crossed the mountains, rivers, plains, and hills, and gradually spread in all directions, resounding in this Central Plains land that has been war-torn for hundreds of years.
