Chapter 063: The Surge of the Magistrates
"Grandpa Guo, you must send troops and horses as soon as possible to wipe out the rebellious army that is raging in my Shaanxi territory in one fell swoop!" Governor Yue of Yansui spoke in harmony, with indignation in his expression, and his words were very emotional.
Zhao Zongwu looked at Yue Hesheng with slightly narrowed eyes, as the governor of Yansui, Yue Hesheng has been leading troops to hold Yansui Town since the uprising broke out in Shaanxi.
Compared with other places, in the territory of Shaanxi, the officialdom is a little strange, obviously there is already a governor of Shaanxi, but there is still an additional governor of Yansui.
Of course, there is a certain reason for his existence.
The Ming Dynasty was established, and at that time, based on Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's expulsion of the Yuan Dynasty forces, the rule of Huaxia Zhengshuo was established.
However, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty at that time were entrenched in the grassland desert adjacent to the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, which made it a great threat to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
This is especially true for the defense system created in the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to stabilize the northern Xinjiang bordering the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang set up four important military towns in northern Xinjiang, which was also the predecessor of the subsequent nine-sided important towns.
The four military towns that were originally set up, the westernmost one, is the current Yansui Town, but it was still Yan'anwei and Suidewei, and it was later merged into Yansui Town because of military needs.
In the following period, the Ming Dynasty had successively established Ningxia, Gansu and other towns, which also made Yansui Town no longer the westernmost town of the Ming Dynasty's northern defense line.
However, the geographical location of Yansui Town is still prominent, and it is still an important town for the Ming Dynasty to defend northern Xinjiang.
Once the grassland forces break through Yansui Town and go south, Shaanxi will inevitably be lost, and Gansu, Sichuan and other places will inevitably be lost, and half of the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be killed!
The impact was just too great.
The importance of Yansui Town is even more highlighted because of Chengzu Zhu Di, although his several expeditions to the Northern Yuan Dynasty have caused serious losses to the Northern Yuan forces.
But I don't know what Zhu Di thought, but in the end he gave up Dongshengwei in the Hetao area, which directly led to the Hetao area becoming a breakthrough point for the Northern Yuan Dynasty to go south.
As a result, Yansui Town became a bridgehead to resist the southward movement of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in this situation.
It has become an existence that must not have any mistakes.
Later, the authority of the governor continued to increase, although there was also a governor in Shaanxi, but the area controlled by the governor of Shaanxi was too large, and its territory included the whole territory of Shaanxi and Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and Ningxia, and the governor of Shaanxi was stationed in Xi'an City.
This is more embarrassing.
Xi'an is hundreds of miles away from Yansui Town in northern Shaanxi, and there are many mountains in Shaanxi, and the roads are difficult to travel, which further increases the connection between the two.
To put it mildly, if there is something urgent in this Yansui Town, even if the governor of Shaanxi who is far away in Xi'an City is a capable minister, so what?
Will he be able to anticipate a crisis?
And this period happened to be Zhu Qizhen seized the palace and reinstated, in order to retaliate, the governor of Shaanxi was abolished, Shaanxi in this period there was a gap period, which also made the northern Shaanxi region become complicated, and the grassland forces in this period were waves of disturbances, which also made it inevitable to integrate a high-standard administrative organization in the northern Shaanxi region.
The governor of Yansui was born under such a premise, and the full name of the governor of Yansui is called: Governor Yan (An), Sui (De) and other places praise military affairs, and the scope of its jurisdiction is Yan'an Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Yulin Weisan, which is an absolute bigwig.
It stands to reason that riots broke out in Shaanxi, and the places of the uprising were mostly in northern Shaanxi, so Hu Tingyan, the governor of Shaanxi, couldn't reach the rebel arrows and died by mistake, but he wanted to put a pen, but he didn't expect to pretend to be big......
It's okay, don't you learn to study like Governor Yansui and Yue Hesheng?
No matter how ferocious your riot is, Lao Tzu will defend the city and not come out!
If you have the ability, you can beat Lao Tzu!
Lao Tzu did not have many soldiers and horses, but it was more than enough to defend the city.
This also made Wang Jiayin and them, after the riot and uprising in Fugu County, although they successfully took Fugu County, they also obtained a lot of food and ordnance in the middle, which made its prestige great!
This also made many rebels in Shaanxi defect to Wang Jiayin.
However, because of the presence of Yansui Town, this huge threat exists, which also makes Wang Jiayin's active area mostly swim in the northern Shaanxi region, and does not choose a real stable area to settle down.
"Swinging?" Zhao Zongwu's words were a little playful, and he looked at Yue and said in harmony with his eyes: "I don't know what Governor Yue has?" ”
Zhao Zongwu didn't pick up Yue's harmony at all.
You're thinking about it, it's beautiful.
After staying in Yansui Town for so long, with an army of more than 20,000 people in hand, he didn't come out, so he let the rebel army rage, and now Lao Tzu is here with a large army, have you stood up to make up for it?
Are you kidding!!!
This time, Yue Hesheng was not the only one who came to Zhao Zongwu, but also more than 30 officials such as Yansui Inspector Zhang Dong, Yan'an Prefect Chen Cong, Qingyang Prefect Zhu ??,, Tongzhi, and county magistrates......
Obviously, Yue Hesheng didn't understand what Zhao Zongwu said at all, and said to himself: "Returning to the words of Grandpa, according to Benfu's understanding, at this stage, the main force of the rebel army has already moved south, operating towards the southern Shaanxi region, and the people who are wandering in the northern Shaanxi region are only a small group of bandits, and we only need to send ......."
"Bang Bang!"
Zhao Zongwu had a smile on his face, and clapped his hands vigorously, which also made Yue Hesheng, who originally wanted to continue, have a little more surprise on his face, and said in his heart: "Dingguo Gong, what's wrong?" Don't you think the strategy I'm talking about is good? ”
Thinking of this, Yue Hesheng also subconsciously had a smile on his face.
"Governor Yue is worthy of being the governor of Yansui, and the plan he came up with is really old-fashioned." It seems that there is no difference from what Yue Hesheng thought, but I saw Zhao Zongwu praising here.
This also made Yue Hesheng's face smile, and he subconsciously wanted to respond with two sentences, and even the official next to him was full of smiles......
"It's just that my duke doesn't know that in the past two months, your Yue Hesheng has more than 20,000 troops in Yansui Town, but why hasn't the court seen a copy of the Zhenyu report sent by the governor of Yansui?"
Obviously.
Zhao Zongwu is not, he really wants to praise Yue Hesheng in public, because in his heart, this Yue Hesheng is a sanctimonious official!
Hearing Zhao Zongwu's question, Yue Hesheng, who was originally with a smile on his face, stopped there in an instant......
