Chapter 251: The New Governor

(Recommended reading: Ningyuan City is a military town outside the Shanhaiguan Pass of the Ming Dynasty, more than 200 miles away from the Shanhaiguan Pass, although the circumference of the whole city of Ningyuan City is only six miles, which cannot be compared with Shenyang and Liaoyang and other important towns outside the Guanhaiguan, but it is the gateway of Shanhaiguan.

Like Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan City is square, two feet high and five feet high, and two feet wide, and the "Ningyuan Great Victory" occurred here more than ten years later.

Out of Shanhaiguan, then it is the territory of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, which means that Li Hongyu's Liaodong governor officially took effect, so the Ningyuan city guard naturally did not dare to slack off, and devoted himself to arranging food and lodging, and feeding the horses of the two thousand cavalry with soybeans and other high-nutrition feed to supplement their physical strength.

Li Hongyu set off early the next morning after news from Ningyuan City for a night, and arrived at Liaoyang City on the evening of the third day of the fourth month through Xingshan City, Jinzhou City, Songshan City, and other important military towns.

Although the Ming army was defeated in Sarhu, the situation in Liaoyang City was still stable because the Houjin army was still far away from Liaoyang, and there was no escape, but the atmosphere was already quite tense and depressing, and the soldiers were strictly interrogated when entering and leaving the city gate, so as to prevent the Houjin army from sneaking into the city.

When the city gate officer saw more than 2,000 cavalry coming from Shanhaiguan, he thought it was reinforcements sent by the imperial court, and his face couldn't help but show excitement, and after a little interrogation, he put people in: those cavalry spoke with a Shaanxi and Gansu accent, which was something that the spies of the Houjin army could not do.

After entering the city, Li Hongyu led his army directly to the Yamen of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and went to meet Yang Hao, the governor of Liaodong, and Zhou Yongchun, the governor of Liaodong, and other Liaodong officials.

The appearance of 2,000 cavalry immediately aroused the attention of the people in the city, and they all pointed to the cavalry marching on the street and pointed and discussed, you must know that this was the first Ming army to rush to the aid of Liaodong after the defeat of Sarhu, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

When he arrived at the Yamen of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, Li Hongyu waved his hand, and the cavalry surrounded the gate of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and the road in front of the street was cleared and martial law, which made the atmosphere suddenly become tense.

The soldiers on duty in front of the gate saw that the cavalry was not good, so they pulled their legs and ran into the gate, and went to report to Yang Hao and others.

Li Hongyu waited outside the door for a while, estimating that Yang Hao and the others had almost gotten the news, and then led Han Fang and a group of cavalry into the yamen of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division.

Shortly after entering, on the way to the lobby in the front yard, a group of soldiers surrounded several middle-aged people wearing high-ranking civilian official robes.

Soon, the two sides met together, the cavalry behind Li Hongyu and the soldiers behind the senior civilian officials confronted each other coldly, Li Hongyu was also looking at each other with the civilian officials, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

"Who are you?"

After the initial silence, a general who followed the senior civilian officials stepped forward, put his hand on the hilt of the waist knife, and stared at Li Hongyu with a vigilant face and asked in a deep voice, before this, the Liaodong Ming Army had never received any news that reinforcements were coming.

"Yang Jingluo, the next official is the military department of the military department, the Qing official Shilang, the Chinese and Korean side, and he came to announce the decree on the order of the emperor."

At this time, Han Fang, who was standing behind Li Hongyu, flashed out, holding a scroll of holy decrees made of yellow brocade in his hand, and said loudly to the middle-aged people led by senior civil officials, this person is Yang Hao, the Liaodong Jingluo.

"Han Langzhong."

With the appearance of the South Korean side, those high-ranking civilian officials showed surprised expressions on their faces, they were all Beijing officials in the capital, they didn't look up and look down on weekdays, and they naturally knew each other, and the South Korean side was also an official of the Ministry of War and had dealt with them in the war in Liaodong.

"The minister takes the order!" Subsequently, under the leadership of Yang Hao, the senior civil officials knelt down one after another, along with the generals and soldiers behind them.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Qin ordered Hanlin to compile and Li Hongyu to wash the horse of the Zhan Shifu Department and Economic Bureau as the governor of Liaodong and the right attendant of the military department, and gave Shang Fang Ming the dragon sword, and the officials below the general army were cut first and then played."

Han Fang opened the holy decree and recited in a frustrated voice, "In addition, remove Yang Hao, the governor of Liaodong, from all official positions, and escort him back to Beijing to listen to interrogation." Zhou Yongchun, the former governor of Liaodong, allocated military quarters, promoted to deputy governor of Liaodong, and assisted the governor of Liaodong to handle government affairs before the new Liaodong governor Xiong Tingbi took office.

Chin this! ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Hearing this, Yang Hao's face became extremely gloomy, and he kowtowed with everyone to thank him, he knew that he would be dismissed from his official position, and the defeat of the war in Liaodong would definitely be responsible for him, the commander.

At the same time, Yang Hao was also curious about the new governor of Liaodong, not only he Zhou Yongchun and others were also full of suspicions, they were all Beijing officials who had served in the capital for many years, and they knew everything about the affairs of the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Mansion, and they had never heard of an official named Li Hongyu.

"Lord Han, when will Governor Li arrive?" In the silence, a middle-aged official broke the calm of the scene, and asked in a deep voice after bowing his hand to the Korean side, he was Zhou Yongchun, who had just been promoted.

Zhou Yongchun is undoubtedly the person who wants to know Li Hongyu's identity the most, after all, the two are about to become colleagues, and he, the deputy manager, has to assist Li Hongyu, of course, he must first find out the details of Li Hongyu, as if suddenly he came out of the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu.

The rest of the Liaodong officials looked at the South Korean side one after another when they heard this, and their faces showed nervous expressions.

In Liaodong, except for Zhou Yongchun, the deputy economic strategy, and Li Wentao, who patrolled the imperial history Chen Wangting and supervised the army, the largest remaining officials were the general soldiers, all of whom were within the range of Li Hongyu's Shang Fang Ming Dragon Sword.

It is worth mentioning that the general army is not a permanent official position of the Ming Dynasty, but a temporary official position of military dispatch like the governor, and the permanent military position of the Ming Dynasty is the commander of the guard, thousands of households and hundreds of households, etc.

Therefore, the general army is divided into regional general soldiers, as well as local general soldiers, such as Chai Guozhu, who served as the general army of Shaanxi when he was in Shaanxi and Gansu, and controlled the Ming army in Shaanxi, which can be described as the commander of a large military region, and when he arrived at Shanhaiguan, he became the general army of Shanhaiguan, only the Ming army in Shanhaiguan, that is, the commander of the local military region.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not have the official position of deputy general, which was the military position of the Qing Dynasty's Green Battalion, which was transformed from the local general army of the Ming Dynasty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official is the new governor of Liaodong, and he has not been crowned champion in the forty-seventh year of Wanli." Hearing Zhou Yongchun's questioning, Li Hongyu gave up his hand and revealed his identity to Yang Hao, Zhou Yongchun and others in a deep voice.

"Champion?"

Yang Hao and Zhou Yongchun were taken aback, and looked at Li Hongyu in surprise, their faces were full of disbelief, and they were quite puzzled that Emperor Wanli had sent a new champion to Liaodong, wouldn't this make the situation in Liaodong even worse?

Originally, Yang Hao, Zhou Yongchun and others thought that the new governor of Liaodong was transferred by Emperor Wanli from a local official from the Jinshi to the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Mansion in the capital, so that the other party at least had practical experience in handling government affairs and military affairs.

But Li Hongyu is a new champion who didn't even sit firmly in the Hanlin Academy, and he has no experience in politics, how can he control the complex situation in Liaodong?

Although Li Hongyu is the champion, he is too young, and he is a new officialdom, which makes Yang Hao, Zhou Yongchun and others unconsciously despise him, after all, fighting is not a child's play, how can Li Hongyu, a hairy boy, convince the public, do you want him to be like Zhao Kuo?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor is extremely concerned about the war situation in Liaodong, let's talk about the current situation first." Li Hongyu clearly saw contempt in everyone's stunned eyes, but he didn't care, and walked Han Fang and the others into the lobby.

Zhou Yongchun and other Liaodong officials looked at Yang Hao, who was pale, and then followed, now that Li Hongyu is the supreme commander of Liaodong, they naturally have to obey Li Hongyu's orders.

Yang Hao stood there with a gloomy expression, he had been dismissed by the Wanli Emperor and was now guilty, so he was not qualified to continue to participate in the Liaodong Military Conference.

But if Li Hongyu didn't open his mouth and let people escort him away, those soldiers from the Yamen of Liaodong would naturally not embarrass Yang Hao, no matter how Yang Hao was also the former commander of Liaodong, although he was dismissed, Yu Wei was still there.

After entering the lobby, Li Hongyu sat on the main seat at the top of the head, Han Fang, Zhou Yongchun and others sat on both sides of the seats, looking at Li Hongyu in unison, wanting to know what tricks this new champion would play.

"Someone, invite Lord Yang." Li Hongyu glanced around at the scene, and his eyes soon fell on Yang Hao, who was standing alone in the courtyard outside the hall, and said quietly, presumably Yang Hao's mood is very complicated now, and the dignified Liaodong Jingluo was actually hung there.

A young general standing on Li Hongyu's side heard the words and immediately went out to invite Yang Hao, Yang Hao hesitated, followed the young general into the lobby, and stood in the lobby with an expressionless face.

"Lord Yang, please be seated." Seeing this, Li Hongyu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Yang Hao, and then said in a deep voice, "Lord Yang, you know the battle situation in Liaodong best, and you hope to help this official." ”

"The governor is serious, this is the duty of the lower officials." Hearing this, Yang Hao's face softened slightly, and he arched his hand to Li Hongyu and sat on the seat at the end of one side.

"Lord Yang, what do you think of this counterinsurgency failure?" After Yang Hao sat down, Li Hongyu pondered for a moment and asked quietly.

"Lord Governor, the lower officials sent troops one after another on the third day of the third month of March, and agreed with the four armies on the tenth to the second pass of the first month, and marched together to attack the rebellion of Jianzhou. But the general soldier of the Western Route Army, Du Song, went out of the division to take the first credit, and before the single horse, he abandoned the car battalion and marched alone, although he had a slight gain in the ninth day of the first month, but he did not know that he had fallen into the ambush of the thief, and the rebellion of Jianzhou mobilized troops to attack it together, and he was undefeated?

Yang Hao pondered for a moment when he heard this, then looked at Li Hongyu with a serious expression and said:

"On the tenth day of the first month, Ma Lin, the general soldier of the North Route Army, marched to Sancha'er Fort, and heard that Juniper had already gone out one day and rushed out, and waited until the soldiers and horses of the Second Guanxi Road had been defeated, and Jianzhou rebelled and attacked it, how could it be supported for a long time?"

Li Hongyu's brows couldn't help frowning, he heard it clearly, Yang Hao not only complained about the failure of time to form a four-way joint attack at this time, but also resented the main generals of the West Road and the North Road fighting separately, which cut off the main force of the Ming army's rebellion against Jianzhou.

Therefore, Yang Hao put the responsibility for the failure on Juniper and Marin, accusing them of ruining the military deployment of this four-way joint attack.
