Apocalypse 317, text 317 Civil-military division of labor

Wang Yongguang came to Suzhou with his entourage, he didn't want to come in the new year but he had to come, the southeast overseer Yuan Keli after explaining the military affairs of Liaodong with Xiong Tingbi, the next day he took people to the southeast military region to investigate the field, at the meeting Wang Yongguang called the difficulties the most, and now there must be a corresponding attitude to show that he complained for the affairs of the court and not for himself [Apocalypse Fengyun 317 chapter full text]. He also set off the next day, and also took the supervisor Hong Chengchou and the two deputy generals Cao Wenzhao and Zu Dabi, one of Cao and Zu led the troops to Ningxia and stopped there to observe the city defense of Ningxia, and the other went south to the west of Lintao to exterminate the bandits.

After Wang Yongguang broke up with Cao Wenzhao in Ningxia, he took a part of the people along the Great Wall all the way to the west, passing through Liangzhou and Ganzhou to Suzhou, Ma Shilong immediately asked someone to clean up the place and sweep the courtyard to prepare, and he took people out of twenty miles early the next morning to meet Wang Yongguang and Wang Dujun said a very kind word after meeting, Ma Shilong didn't pay much attention to the other words, but Wang Yongguang's title made him feel surprised and excited, because Wang Yongguang called him a general in front of the governor of Shaanxi, This means that the court has a new position for itself.

In the Ming Dynasty, the general soldiers called their commanders generals, but they were privately called to have a good mouth, and they were called official positions on serious occasions and would not be called generals indiscriminately, because there were very few generals in the Ming Dynasty. After everyone arrived in Suzhou City, they listened to Wang Yongguang's decree, and sure enough, the holy decree clearly stated that the imperial court appointed Wang Yongguang as the governor of the Northwest Military Region to lead all the troops in the northwest region, Ma Shilong as the general of Yumen to lead all the field troops of the Northwest Military Region, and the other garrison troops were commanded by the governor of Shaanxi, because the former governor of Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and other provinces Cai Fuyi died, and now the governor of Shaanxi is temporarily acting as his post.

After listening to the holy decree, everyone congratulated each other and then went to the General Military Mansion to discuss the matter, because they were used to it in the Military Affairs Yuan, so everyone also sat together, Wang Yongguang first asked: "General Ma, do you know why the imperial court named you the general of Yumen?" ”

Ma Shilong replied, "The last general does not know to ask the Overseer to make it clear. ”

Wang Yongguang said: "There is a poem in the Tang Dynasty that says, 'Why should the Qiang Di complain about the willows? The spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass. This Yumen Pass is an important place to resist foreign enemies and defend the country for thousands of years, and the imperial court appointed General Ma as the general of Yumen to reuse the general, and also has the idea of letting the general go out of the pass to expand the land. It's just that since the Song Dynasty, Middle Earth and the Western Regions are no longer passable, Yumen Pass is no longer a Xiongguan that must be guarded, and my Ming soldiers are only defending at Jiayu Pass on the side of Suzhou. ”

Ma Shilong said: "When the last general came to the beginning of the year, he went to the old site of Yumen Pass to see, and there was still a section of the ancient Great Wall that was not connected and could not constitute a defense line, so the end would rely on Jiayu Pass to arrange military strength [Apocalypse Fengyun Chapter 317 Full Text]." Since the imperial court named me the general of Yumen, and also made it clear that I was in charge of the field army and did not involve defense, then after a while, I would take people to Yumen Pass to garrison and live up to the expectations of the imperial court. ”

Wang Yongguang nodded and asked, "Is there anyone else living between Yumen Pass and Jiayu Pass?" ”

Ma Shilong said: "In the future, I didn't find anyone in the area of Shazhou and Guazhou, and occasionally a few were passing by the natives who were not present, and more than 1,000 death row prisoners were sent by the imperial court, and I let them slowly adapt to the life inside, one is to explore the way for the imperial court's real border policy, and the other is also to serve as eyes and ears for the army, so as to avoid a surprise attack by the enemy from the north." ”

Hong Chengchou, the superintendent of the army, said: "Since some people belonging to Chijin Mongolia moved to the south of Suzhou in the Jiajing period to graze horses and sheep on the side of Qilian Mountain, there are no people near Yumen Pass. ”

Wang Yongguang asked in surprise: "Lord Hong knows these things?" Can you tell us about the origin? Although I am in the Military Affairs Yuan, I don't know much about the border affairs in the northwest, and I can't figure out what is closed in Shazhou, Guazhou, and Yumen. ”

In the Military Affairs Yuan, Hong Chengchou found that Wang Yongguang was busy among several military ministers, but he was not busy, others were thinking about how to do the affairs in their hands well, Wang Yongguang was busy all day long on how to please Sun Chengzong, and how to win over other people's relationships with him, Hong Chengchou saw this in his eyes and despised it in his heart.

Seeing Wang Yongguang asked Hong Chengchou and said: "The lower officials only know a little about this matter, saying that in order to commend the hussar general Huo Quai's military exploits, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an order to divide Hexi into two counties, Wuwei and Zhangye, and later added two counties of Jiuquan and Dunhuang, and these four counties became important towns in the Western Regions. In the west of the four counties, there are two Xiongguan in the dangerous place, the north is called Yumen Pass, the south is called Yangguan, Lord Wang began to mention the poem of "the spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass", and must also know the poem of "persuading the army not to have a glass of wine, and there is no one in the west out of Yangguan", General Yi Ma said that there is no one in the west out of Yangguan, and there is no one near Yangguan and Yumen Pass. ”

Wang Yongguang nodded involuntarily after hearing this, and Hong Chengchou continued: "The change of dynasties has changed the place name, Wuwei in the Han Dynasty is now Liangzhou, and Zhangye is now called Ganzhou, Jiuquan is now Suzhou, Dunhuang is now Shazhou, maybe the specific city has changed a little, but the approximate location is not much different [Apocalypse Fengyun Chapter 317 Full Text]." Originally, Yumen Pass was in the northwest of Shazhou, and Yangguan was in the southwest of Shazhou, which was a necessary place for pedestrians to pass through, but later found a road that could not pass through Yangguan and Yumen Pass, but from Guazhou in the northeast of Shazhou, and cross the Shule River to the northwest through Xingxing Gorge through Hami to Turpan. ”

Wang Yongguang asked: "Since there is a short road, no one will definitely take the long road, isn't Yumen Pass useless?" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "People will be flexible, during the Song Dynasty, people set up checkpoints in Guazhou, so later Guazhou people also called Guazhou's pass as Yumen Pass, but Yangguan is completely no one mentions it again." It's not that it's closer to Guazhou, but it's not easy to get lost and rest assured when you take a new road, because east of Shazhou is the vast Gobi, and people can't find the direction when they go in, so you can't always look at the previous camel and horse feces as a guide, right? Moreover, there are often mirages in the Great Gobi that harm people, so everyone takes the new road and abandons the old road, and the road is impassable after being occupied by foreign races after the Song Dynasty, so no one remembers this. ”

The governor of Shaanxi saw that Hong Chengchou was speaking in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Hong is a mainlander, but when it comes to the things in the northwest, he is like a treasure, so that I, the governor of Shaanxi, am ashamed, it seems that the imperial court is asking General Ma to go to Guazhou to take charge of the attack, and to hand over the defense of the Great Wall for thousands of miles to me, which is too heavy for me to bear." I think it is better to be deployed by General Ma first, and when the time is ripe, they will be divided into attack and defense, anyway, there is no enemy outside for General Ma to fight now, and the Tibetans in the south, the Wu'er people in the east and the Wara people in the north have done their duty over the years. ”

Wang Yongguang said: "It is natural to hand over the defense after it is done, and General Ma should clearly explain the key points of Shaanxi's defense to the local army, and then let go and concentrate on the attack when the local army can defend it." In the end, it is necessary to ensure that the field army does not care about defending the city, the defending army does not care about the attack, and the army does not care about civilians, and everyone supervises each other in peacetime and cooperates with each other in wartime. I also have an important matter about those death row prisoners this time, I don't know how General Ma has arranged for them in the past year? The emperor himself said that you should write a document to him, and many places in the mainland want to learn some experience from you to see if they can find some specialized people to do farm work. ”

Ma Shilong said: "Shaanxi's defense should mainly be to defend the Mongols in the north, and the Wu'er people in the east have not heard that any big forces will be unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, if the Mongols want to go south, there are three places where the position is more prominent and vulnerable to attack [Apocalypse Fengyun Chapter 317 Full Text]." One is the city of Ningxia north of Lingzhou City, there was a rebellion during the Wanli period, but the city defense is strong, as long as there is a certain number of defenders to hold the dangerous place, there should be no problem. The second is the town of Fanwei north of Liangzhou City, which is desert on three sides, and there is no place to defend it, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, but the enemy has little effect on attacking it, and it can be used as a place for reconnaissance, and the troops will be withdrawn from Liangzhou in wartime. ”

The governor of Shaanxi asked: "What about the third one?" ”

Ma Shilong said: "The third is the Jiayuguan in the west of Suzhou City, if the Mongolians and the Mo Xiang Yao Yao are together with Mu Cuosi Lip Song Song Huang Cormorant Muai? Carbuncle hand 莸剿嘀菡庖幌面さ卮? Bald amaranth makeup locust feeding unloading? 嬲庋? Curtain Ba Zhu Zhu Feast Leech Mu Fat Sudden Senior? Ring Feed 2 also? Embarrassed? Hot Emperor? Lang, Huh? Wu? Sincerely?

Wang Yongguang asked, "Why is that?" Could it be that these people can't do what the people in the mainland can't do? ”

Ma Shilong said: "There are different situations in different places, and the people in the mainland have a variety of grains, but the local climate is not suitable for growing grain, so I want them to graze and raise horses." The reason why Guazhou is called Guazhou is because the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, which is especially suitable for growing melons, and the melons grown are big, sweet and delicious, but I am afraid that there will be no harvest when planting food. Since I have already said at the beginning, the army will not care about civil affairs in the future, and if those people want me to manage them, I will let them raise horses, and the horses raised by the water and grass here are not much worse than the horses of the Mongols, and if they want to give them to the local government together, then the governor will arrange them. ”

Sun Chuanting was a staff officer who came with him, and at this time he said: "General Ma said that raising horses here is indeed a high opinion, and the lower official said in the book that the leader of Chijin Mongolia gave a lot of good horses to the imperial court, and Emperor Taizu at that time also rewarded him greatly." Chijin Mongolia used to live in the area of Shazhou and Guazhou, so it can be seen that the place is indeed suitable for raising horses, but I heard that there are some new varieties of grain crops in the imperial court, and when the time comes, you can also try ♀ some of the planted grain in the free place, which may not be anything in normal times, but it can still help a lot at the critical moment. ”

Ma Shilong said in surprise: "I can't see that a supervising army and a staff officer know so much about this place, then I will be more relieved, in the future, we will unite and cooperate well, and strive to make the Northwest Military Region the best military region, so that the emperor can rest assured and the lords of the DPRK and China can rest assured." ”
