Of course, Shang Kexi is not a good person, and in the original history, it can be said that he was full of evil and heinous crimes.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he followed all the way south and incorporated countless traitor teams, and Zhang Hongfan, the big traitor who served as the commander of the Yuan army's vanguard when the Yuan army destroyed the Song Dynasty, definitely had to fight.

For such people, if they hadn't made a name for themselves in the war, then now Emperor Chongzhen would definitely find an opportunity to get them out of the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town, and then find a reason to kill them at will, or send them far away to Yunguichuan to deal with the Tusi of Burma and Wusizang.

It's a pity that even if Emperor Chongzhen now knows the crimes of these people before and after their death in the original history, and hates these people's traitorous behavior, he can't do anything happy.

Because even if you are the emperor, you can't kill these righteous sons and grandsons of Mao Wenlong, the marshal of Dongjiang Town, by name for no reason.

First of all, the sins of these people were originally something that happened years or more than ten years later in history, and now they are all good and upright are the border generals of Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty, how can they kill them.

Secondly, these people are all Mao Wenlong's righteous sons or grandsons, and your emperor killed people for no reason, what do you mean, aren't you clearly trying to force Dongjiang Town to rebel?

Moreover, these people have more or less made contributions in the defense of Dongjiang Town in the first year of Chongzhen, not to mention that there is no reason, even if they find a reason that is enough to punish them, you must also take into account their merits.

Otherwise, everyone in the towns of the Nine Sides will be in danger in the future, who will give you your life?

Therefore, for today's Emperor Chongzhen, a figure like Shang Kexi, although the sins of their original history are still deeply remembered in his heart, they still have to be used when it is time to use them.

All Emperor Chongzhen could do was to instruct the new Dongjiang Town Supervisor Yu Shi Lu Daqi, as well as Yuan Shu, a thousand households and thousands of households in Dongjiang Province, to pay more attention to and pay attention to these people.

Of course, all that can be done is to slowly insert the generals who are reassuring of themselves into these people one by one.

Moreover, the generals who are more comfortable with themselves placed next to these people can only be generals from Dongjiang Town.

Since the first year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen has asked Jiangwutang to recruit many young generals from the command of the General Soldiers of the Five Roads in Dongjiang Town.

Among them, except for You Jinghe, who was left by his side because of his original historical performance and became the military attache of the imperial chamberlain, several others such as Mao Youjian, Ban Zhifu, Xu Erxian and others were assigned back to the commanders of various general soldiers in Dongjiang Town after graduation.

Now Mao Youjian is serving under Mao Chenglu, Ban Zhifu is under Shang Kexi, and Xu Erxian is under Liu Xingzuo.

As for You Jinghe, he was previously assigned to the position of deputy commander of Yulinwei by Emperor Chongzhen from the position of military attache in front of the imperial chamberlain.

After more than two years of investigation, this time, Emperor Chongzhen finally sent him back to Dongjiang Town with confidence, and followed Lu Daqi, a cabinet scholar who was promoted to the imperial history of Dongjiang Town, to serve in Dongjiang Town.

And this time, his new position is the general of the Tumen Town Guard.

Liu Zhaoji, who came to Emperor Chongzhen's side as the military attache of the imperial chamberlain, has now become the town guard of Jiuyuan Town Guard, and You Jinghe is a few years older than Liu Zhaoji, but he has just reached the position of general of the town guard mansion.

And one day in mid-August, when he finally traveled to various places on sea and land, and finally came to the Tumen Town Shoufu to meet Shang Kexi, he, a staff general who was ordered by Qin, was immediately sent by Shang Kexi to Qingxing City, near the sea at the mouth of the Tumen River, as a right assistant general.

The position of this right assistant general is still below the left assistant general Ban Zhifu.

And Shang Kexi did not give him a ready-made soldier, but asked him to recruit the Han people who went north to open up the wasteland and renovate the city as soon as possible.

The generals sent directly from the imperial court are not very guarded, and the local generals are almost certain to be welcomed, if it weren't for the fact that You Jinghe himself was born in Dongjiang Town, and he was also a veteran of Dongjiang Town, then he didn't even have this chance to stand alone.

It's not that Shang Kexi deliberately wanted to give him a horse, but that Shang Kexi, Ban Zhifu and others have always been worried about when Jianyu will suddenly cross the river to take revenge since they returned from burning Hetuala, and then burning and looting in the hinterland of the Houjin Kingdom.

In April, Emperor Chongzhen's will to reward meritorious soldiers was finally delivered to the Anton Town Guard Mansion in Dongjiang Town, Shang Kexi was awarded the title of first-class viscount by Emperor Chongzhen, and Ban Zhifu was awarded the title of first-class baron.

At the same time, these two people, one became the newly established Tumen Town Guard, and the other became the general of the Tumen Town Guard, and from then on not only had a hereditary title that could be passed on to the descendants, but also had their own territory, and they were very happy.

As soon as the holy decree arrived in mid-April, the two people quickly received the decree, and took more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the original garrison of Changzhou and Jiangzhou to the north, and from the hands of Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde and others, they took over the Wencheng (the so-called Nanyang in later Korea), Odori (Huining, later Korea) and Gyeongheung (Luosheng area in later Korea) and other places in the Tumen River estuary.

After taking over the defense, Shang Kexi, in accordance with the will of the imperial court, changed the city of Odori on the south bank of the Tumen River, which was originally garrisoned by Buyandai and others, to Tumen, and set up the governance of the Tumen town guard mansion in Tumen City, and then sent the first baron Ban Zhifu, the general of the Tumen town guard house, to lead the soldiers and horses to the stable city stationed on the Tumen River.

After arranging these affairs, the first thing Shang Kexi, Ban Zhifu and others did was to recruit Shandong refugees from other areas under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town to cross the sea from Dengzhou, and go north to Tumen Town to defend the mansion and build the city.

Shang Kexi, the envoy of Tumen Town, promised that the reward for these city-building refugees was to distribute the fertile land on both sides of the Tumen River to them for cultivation.

People like Shang Kexi know very well in their hearts that land without population is worthless, not only does it not have sufficient military resources, but also there are no people who provide food and salary for themselves.

Emperor Chongzhen gave Shang Kexi's Tumen Town Guard Mansion 7,500 people's staff, if he was in another place, he might have the idea of keeping the salary and eating empty salaries, but in a place like Tumen Town Guard, his only idea was to turn the salary of 7,500 people given by the court under his command into real people as soon as possible.

For four months, from mid-April to the end of August, Shang Kexi led a group of men and horses to urge the people who had been recruited to renovate the city of Tumen on a large scale on the basis of the original city of Odori.

And Ban Zhifu took the men and horses stationed in Wencheng, and also urged the Shandong refugees who came to divide the land and land to increase and repair the city defense of Wencheng on a large scale.

Under the command of Ban Zhifu, a general who was born in the artillery department of the Wutang Guardhouse, the soldiers and horses of the Tumen Town Guard Mansion led a large number of people to build a large number of forts inside and outside the two cities distributed along the east bank of the Tumen River, one south and one north, and installed a large number of general cannons and a large number of Chongzhen rear-loading smoothbore mother guns that were taken over from Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde and others, all of which were installed on the forts at the head of the city.

When You Jinghe came to take office, whether it was Shang Kexi or Ban Zhifu, he would naturally not hand over the city that had just been built to You Jinghe, a newcomer.

Shang Kexi, who was the envoy of the Tumen Town Guard Mansion, immediately divided the Town Guard Mansion into the left and right associations after You Jinghe arrived, with Ban Zhifu, a first-class baron, as the left assistant general, and the new You Jinghe as the right assistant general, and gave You Jinghe the name of recruiting people to settle the land, and asked him to recruit people to guard Qingxing City at the mouth of the Tumen River.

For this arrangement, the newcomer You Jinghe naturally didn't have to choose.

Coming to the Tumen Town Guard Mansion to serve was certainly Emperor Chongzhen's arrangement, but it was You Jinghe's own idea to leave Yu Linwei, one of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and go out to the border to serve and make meritorious contributions.

However, in late August, when You Jinghe, the general of the Tumen Town Guard, came to Qingxing City on an order, he was still satisfied with the situation here.

After serving by Emperor Chongzhen's side for a long time, You Jinghe also has his own understanding of the strategic location in the area of Tumen Town's Guard.

The strategic position of Tumen City and Wencheng is of course steep and important, but in his opinion, the small city of Qingxing near the sea at the mouth of the Tumen River, because it is close to the sea by the river, it can be traced back to the river when entering, and it is possible to rely on the supply of the sea and the river to hold the city when retreating, and the strategic position is even more important.

Although the sailors of Dongjiang Town have now evacuated the mouth of the Tumen River, the banks of the Tumen River are full of giant trees that can be used to build ships!

And when other places are facing drought, this place is a rare fertile land because it is close to the Tumen estuary, and the plain area on the north and south banks of the estuary.

In this way, at the end of August, after You Jinghe arrived at Rentumen Town to guard Qingxing City, he took advantage of the fact that the weather here in August had not yet begun to get colder, and stepped up to let the original Tumen Town Guard Mansion Qingxing Defender recruit people to repair the city, and at the same time he took some people across the river to the north of the river, surveyed the topography of the coast, and looked for giant trees needed for shipbuilding.
