The place where Mo Keji was sealed was in the upper reaches of the northern region of Annam in Guangxi, that is, in the Gubang area southwest of Guishun Prefecture in Guangxi at the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the northern part of the Ha Giang region of Vietnam in later generations. Ｘ

The place where Wei Ang was sealed was also the upper reaches of the Zuojiang River in Guangxi in the northern region of Annam, but it was Longlun in the southeast of Guishun Prefecture in Guangxi, that is, the northeast area of Gaoping in later Vietnam.

The pacification divisions that the imperial court promised the two men to establish were all north of the upper reaches of the Zuo River, which was basically equivalent to the so-called Cao Bang province in later Vietnam.

This place is connected to the mountains and rivers of Guangxi, and the same mountains and dense forests, valleys and rivers are exactly the terrain and landforms that these two Guangxi wolf soldiers are familiar with.

If the northern Han people north of the Yangtze River were ordered to come to open up this place, I am afraid that they would have to return in failure, but for the Wei and Mo's wolf soldiers in Guangxi, who are already connected by mountains and rivers, it is like a fish in water when they arrive at this place.

Therefore, Mo Keji and Wei Ang arrived here with the holy decree of the Ming Emperor in hand, although they knew that if they led their troops into the area around Gubang and Longlun, they would definitely encounter the resistance of the local officials sent by the small court of the Li clan in Annam, but the Mo clan and the wolf soldiers of the Wei clan, who had just won a great victory from Shuixi, did not pay attention to the possible resistance at all.

At this time, in their hands, they not only had the holy decree given by the Ming Emperor, but also the firm support of Li Fengjie, the governor of Guangxi, and the strong backing of their respective families.

Therefore, after the two came to Guishunzhou, they did not hesitate to lead the army into the territory of the Ming Emperor's order to reward them.

Moreover, the two teams also continued to maintain the ruthless style of the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, robbing the village when they saw it along the way, killing the men when they saw them, and going up when they saw women.

In less than three months, Mo Keji and Wei Ang established their own pacification division walled cities in the Gubang region northwest of Gaoping and the Longlun region in the northeast.

At the same time, while Mo Keji, Wei Ang and other Tusi of Yunnan and Guangxi who conquered the west of the water, led their brave soldiers to open up their own territory all the way to the south, the jurisdiction of the Tusi of the Shui'an clan in the northwest of Guizhou also ushered in the same fate as the Yongning Xuanfu Division of the Luxury Clan and the Xuanwei Division of the Song Clan.

In addition to ordering the re-establishment of Bijiewei and Chishuiwei in the original Shuixi region, and serving as commanders of Wang Guozhen and Zhao Guoxi, the imperial court also incorporated Wusa into Guizhou, and at the same time changed Dafang to Dading, and set up Dading Mansion in the royal city of the Yi people in Shuixi in the past, under the jurisdiction of Wusa, Datun, Shaxi, Nayong, Zhijin five counties and Qianxi Prefecture.

Emperor Chongzhen ordered Chen Zizhuang, a member of the Nanjing Military Department, to be the prefect of Dading Mansion, and Luo Jiuzhong to be the governor of Dading Mansion.

At the same time, the water Xicheng was changed to Qianxi County, which belonged to Qianxi Prefecture, and Xia Yunyi, who had nothing to do in the Hanlin Courtyard and only knew how to discuss current affairs and criticize the government, was sent to Guizhou, and was ordered to be the governor of Qianxi Prefecture, which governed three counties: Qianxi County, Yachi County, and Wujiang County.

Xia Yunyi, who was on the Enke list in the first year of Chongzhen, was thirty-three years old at this time, and he was one of the better quality among the Donglin Party members.

Although he prides himself on being a clear stream like other young generations of the Donglin Party, likes to sit and talk about politics, he has a good son in the future, that is, Xia Wanchun, the anti-Qing hero in the late Ming Dynasty, and he himself later committed suicide because of the failure of the army to resist the Qing Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Chongzhen set Xia Yunyi, who would have fallen off the list in history, as the second place in the first class, that is, the eye of the list.

At the same time, when Zhang Pu and others were sent to North Korea to give lectures, they did not move him, but let him recite poems in the Hanlin Courtyard to discuss current affairs in the Qing Dynasty.

This time the southwest generals were rewarded, Xia Yunyi, who was in the Hanlin Academy, naturally couldn't be separated, and he wrote a book to discuss the issue of rewards, and pointed out the country and promoted the words, and also presented various strategies for governing the southwest, which made Emperor Chongzhen overwhelmed.

Since such a Donglin Party member wants to use it in the Beijing Division but can't use it with confidence, and he has nothing to do and is restless when he stays in the Hanlin Academy, he is always pointing fingers and making irresponsible remarks, so he can simply be sent to the southwest to serve.

Because the more you don't feel at ease and don't let such people get in touch with actual government affairs, the more they will never understand the importance of being down-to-earth.

As for Liu Zhaoji and Mo Hejing, according to the requirements of Emperor Chongzhen in the holy decree, after handing over all the new muskets, ammunition and other firearms and equipment to Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Jingnan and the governor of Yunnan, they set off to return to Beijing with the wounded of Tiance Wei Youye.

This time, Liu Zhaoji and Mo Youjing made great contributions, but Emperor Chongzhen did not reward them in the holy decree.

And Liu Zhaoji and the two had no complaints, because they knew that as the generals of Tiancewei and as one of the emperor's guards and pro-army, Emperor Chongzhen would certainly not treat them badly, and the more they did not mention a word in the holy decree, the more it showed that His Majesty the emperor regarded them as his own or even a private person.

This was more important than any reward in front of them, a general like them who had been born in the Jiangwutang and had served by the emperor's side.

Just when Emperor Chongzhen rewarded the holy decree of the meritorious generals in the southwest of Dingding, and sent it all the way to Guiyang at an expedited speed of 600 miles, and the military generals from all walks of life who gathered in Guiyang also followed the order in the same time period, the Great Khan of the Later Jin State or the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji, who was far away in Shenyang City, finally completed all preparations and swore to go out outside the Fuyuan Gate in Shenyang City.

On the Double Ninth Festival on September 9 of the second year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen made a rare exception and opened a hundred tables in the square outside the Imperial Palace, and invited the emperor's relatives and relatives, noble ministers, officials, and businessmen over 65 years old in Beijing, and held a thousand banquets to show the meaning of respecting the elderly.

However, on the evening of the Double Ninth Festival, an urgent message from Liaodong was personally brought into the Beijing division by Sun Zhan, a thousand households of the Qianhu Institute of Liaodong of Jinyiwei.

Emperor Chongzhen participated in the banquet of the representatives of the elderly from all walks of life in the Imperial Palace, and staged a traditional drama of respecting the elderly.

"Your Majesty, Dongnu has gone on the expedition!"

As one of the most trusted people of the Chongzhen Emperor among the civil and military nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, Gong Yonggu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, of course, knew the emperor's various plans.

Therefore, after getting the information brought by Sun Chan of the Thousand Households of Jinyi Wei Liaodong, he immediately realized the importance of this incident.

Therefore, Gong Yonggu led Sun Chan into the imperial study of the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and immediately said this after performing the etiquette.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he took a roll of letter paper that Gong Yonggu bowed down and presented it, and opened it, only to see a line of simplified pencil writing on the thin, crumpled letter with many stains.

The pencil is a unique writing tool for the personnel of the Jinyiwei Espionage Department today, and the simplified Chinese characters written horizontally from left to right are also the unique writing methods of the personnel of the Jinyiwei Espionage Division.

Writing traditional characters with a brush is of course good, but for the Jinyi guards who have generally not read any books, in the case of an emergency, it is really a bit too demanding to prepare the four treasures of the study room to write traditional characters with a brush.

So, Emperor Chongzhen taught Gong Yonggu this method, that is, a short pencil that can be carried to write anytime and anywhere, a simple and traditional comparison table of commonly used words, and then asked him to train the hidden personnel sent to the northeast and northwest by the spy department under Jinyiwei.

Now, a year and a half later, I have finally seen some results.

Emperor Chongzhen lit the candlelight, looked closely, and saw that it was written: "In September, the Shuonu chieftain led an army of 100,000 out of the north gate." ”

Of course, there is no punctuation in this era, but in this sentence, even if there is no punctuation to break the sentence, no one will be ambiguous.

Emperor Chongzhen read this text message with only one sentence, slowly rolled it up, and then handed it back to Gong Yonggu, and said: "The Jinyi Wei Espionage Department will archive this text message, and the person who sent out this letter from Shenyang City will record his military merits and be promoted to 100 households!" ”

Gong Yonggu immediately bowed down and agreed.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Gong Yonggu and Sun Zhan, and said slowly: "What did Lu Shanji of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion say? ”

After the revoked Jiliao Governor's Mansion, Jizhen, Tianjin, Denglai, Dongjiang and other places are no longer under the unified dispatch and command of the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, and the Jiliao Governor's Mansion located in Ningyuan is now only in charge of the Ming army from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, so the Jiliao Governor's Mansion has become the Liaodong Governor's Mansion.

Gong Yonggu glanced at Sun Chan sideways, nodded at him, and motioned for him to answer.

So, Sun Chan bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, after this letter was introduced to Ningyuan by the Jinyi Guard's hidden personnel, Weichen went to the Governor's Mansion to meet Lord Lu in person.

"Lord Lu thinks that the matter is very important and needs to be reported to the Jingshi immediately, so he has time to write a note to His Majesty in the future, and only order Weichen to come to see His Majesty in person.

"Lord Lu said, Your Majesty's policy of discussing and delaying the army has shown its effect, and the sworn army will go out of the north gate, not the northern expedition, but the opportunity to go west!

"Before Weichen left, Lord Lu said that the Liaodong Governor's Mansion would inevitably report to the Imperial Front within a few days, but Dongnu had many cavalry, and he had sworn to go on the expedition for many days, so please make arrangements as soon as possible!" r
