Chapter 358: Jizhou
Thirty miles away from the city of Jizhou City, Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, and Liu Wei, the new governor of Jiliao, stood respectfully on the side of the road with the civil and military officials in Jizhou City, and he took over here.
The first to come were the scouts of the army, all the Ming cavalry.
After the scout, the cavalry of the brigade rumbled over, and then the escort of the brigade was from the Jinyi Guard, as well as many fans of Dongchang, and the momentum was extraordinary.
The civil and military officials of Jizhou all knelt on the side of the road, waiting to greet Zhu Yijun.
As the imperial chariot slowly stopped, Zhu Yijun walked out of the imperial chariot, and the civil and military officials of Jizhou hurriedly paid homage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be polite!" Zhu Yijun looked at the civil and military officials who came out to greet him, and said with a smile, and when everyone stood up, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Yang Aiqing, Liu Aiqing will follow, and everyone else will go back to their respective duties." ”
"Don't delay the affairs of the yamen, and don't disturb the place because of my arrival."
"Your Majesty Shengming!" The crowd said yes, and then they dispersed.
Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, and Liu Wei, the governor of Jiliao, stayed behind, and these two adults must be driving, which is not surprising at all, the frame started slowly again, and went straight to Jizhou City.
Jizhou has been an important town since ancient times, and it was called the country of no end in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qin Shi Huang destroyed the six countries to unify the world, and divided the world into 36 counties, and the counties were divided into counties. Qin set up Wuzhong County here, which belongs to Youbeiping County and is a county governance, which is equivalent to the provincial capital.
In the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty was established, and Emperor Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty Guangwu set up thirteen states in the country and set up Youzhou in the Beijing area.
The Sui Dynasty renamed Wuzhong County as Yuyang County and governed it as a county.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, in order to resist the rule of Emperor Yang, the leader of the peasant uprising, Gao Kaidao, led the peasant rebels to capture Beiping City, and then captured Yuyang City, and established himself as the King of Yan.
So far, from the beginning of Zhou Zhao's establishment of the capital here, to the country of Wuzhongzi, the Liaodong country of Han Guang, and the Bolu Marquis of Huo Guang, the ancient land of Jixian County has the history of five national capitals, which is equivalent to the capital of the princely states.
In the Ming Dynasty, the political significance of Jizhou was reduced, but the military status did not decline, but increased.
It is the logistics military base of Xuanfu in Liaodong, and it is also the military defense line of the capital, and its position is very important. Since Zhu Yijun came into power, Jizhou's status has been strengthened.
Here live the elite border army of the Ming Dynasty, the auxiliary soldiers of the soldiers, plus the craftsmen in the army, etc., more than 100,000 people. It has become a veritable military city, and the Ming Imperial Naval Division stationed in Tianjin has made the entire Jizhou area live with the army.
You must know that Jizhou at this time is the Jizhou District of Tianjin in later generations, and to put it bluntly, the status of Jizhou at this time is equivalent to Tianjin in later generations, and it is a status that is surpassed.
It is impossible for Zhu Yijun's imperial chariot to enter the city, the city wall is very high, and the city gate is also very wide, but because of the existence of the moat and suspension bridge, Zhu Yijun's imperial chariot cannot enter at all.
The streets in the city are not wide enough, and Zhu Yijun's carriage can't go.
Zhu Yijun was not reluctant to do this, parked the big imperial chariot outside the city, changed to a four-wheeled carriage, and then followed the team into Jizhou City. Naturally, the city has already arranged a place to live, although there is no arrangement for the palace, but the place where the double house is naturally not bad.
The government temporarily requisitioned the most prosperous street in Jizhou City, yes, a whole street.
The whole street was full of luxury houses, all emptied, whether it was officials or gentry, you all moved out, and the houses were requisitioned. Not only was it requisitioned, but it was also renovated.
When Zhu Yijun came here, he was very satisfied.
This move can be regarded as disturbing the people, but it is also something that cannot be helped, because there are so many people who come this time, and there are hundreds of large and small attachés, not counting the guards and the like.
You can't keep them all separated, can you? Only in this way can it be arranged.
The house where Zhu Yijun lives is the house of the Qian family, the largest household in Jizhou City, and it is said to be a house, but it is actually more like a big garden. The Qian family is a native of Jizhou, and their ancestors lived here.
It has deep local roots and deep ties with the government and the military.
Since the imperial court changed the recruitment system, the Qian family began to live on the royal sailors of Jizhou and Tianjin. A large-scale chicken farm and pig farm were established in Jizhou to supply the army with food.
Large-scale land was collected to grow vegetables, and at the same time, materials were purchased in various places for military supplies.
Zhu Yijun supplied Jizhou and the royal sailors every year, and more than half of it went into the pockets of the Qian family. It is not an exaggeration for the Qian family to say that they are imperial merchants, so Zhu Yijun lives in their house with peace of mind.
After entering the mansion, the first thing Zhu Yijun did was to summon Yang Zhao and Liu Wei.
After the monarch and ministers saw the ceremony, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Sit down!" It's not in the capital, it's not in the palace, don't be so rusty, feel free! ”
After listening to Zhu Yijun's words, Yang Zhao and Liu Wei both sat down.
"Yang Aiqing, I remember correctly, you are a thirty-five year jinshi in Jiajing, and you are only fifty-three years old this year, right?" Zhu Yijun looked at Yang Zhao and said with a smile: "I still trust Aiqing's talent. ”
Although Yang Zhao is fifty-three years old, he looks very young and a little thin, but he looks shrewd and capable.
"The minister is a Jinshi in Jiajing's thirty-five years, and he is among the eighty in the second class." Yang Zhao bowed.
Zhu Yijun nodded, he still knows a lot about Yang Zhao, this person is a very old-fashioned person. Whether he is an official or a person, he is such a person.
Serious and rigorous, you say he won't be flexible, it's not, but it's just a little less tactful. does things at a glance, Zhu Yijun likes such courtiers very much.
The current Jiliao will soon become a logistics base for the war against the DPRK, especially on the side of the Royal Marine, which needs the support of Jiliao.
It is appropriate to put Yang Zhao in this position at this time, which is why Zhu Yijun directly promoted Yang Zhao after Wu Dui left. After working in Jiliao for a few years, Zhu Yijun was ready to transfer him back to the capital.
There must be a place for him in the six books, and Zhu Yijun hasn't thought about which one to go to.
"Aiqing do a good job, I value Aiqing, Jiliao has a lot of work, don't let me down." Zhu Yijun looked at Yang Zhao with a smile and said with expectation.
"Thanksgiving!" Yang Zhao hurriedly spoke.
Zhu Yijun turned his gaze to Liu Wei again, and said with a smile: "The first time I heard about Aiqing, when did Aiqing know?" ”
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”
