"Master, don't worry." Liu Qi said happily.

That night, after eating Pi Sancai's wine banquet, Yang Ruicai took his family members Liu Qi and Zhang Wu, took the gold, silver, jewelry and jade sent by the squire and the merchant and returned to the backyard of the county government office drunk and smoky and slept.

Zhao Guohua took the loyal brigade to his hometown JX Ji'an Mansion, walked on the road, looked at the horse team around him, and said in his heart: "This Chongzhen child, also do not plan for Lao Tzu to raise soldiers, with the security fees and city fees collected by Ji'an, it is difficult to raise more than 5,000 cavalry, to raise so many cavalry, you must rely on the more than one million taels of gold, silver, jewelry, and several large boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings seized from the Tartars, but where should so many things be handled?" ”

"What is the general thinking about? Let's talk about it, and maybe I can give you some ideas. Lu Qing said respectfully.

The battle of the defense of Zhuozhou and the raid on the Tartars, the combat power shown by the Volunteer Brigade made Lu Qing full of longing for the future of the Volunteer Brigade. In Zhuozhou, he tried his skills for the first time, and Zhao Guohua changed from a white body to a five-rank admiral, General Wude, if it goes on like this, it will be repaid, the tide will rise, Zhao Guohua will eat meat, and he can drink soup himself.

Turning his head to look at him, he saw Zhang Shun and Niu Huan and others around him, so he said: "Everyone is the old man of the Volunteer Brigade, this time we have seized a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings from the Tartars, I want to exchange them for silver tickets, where do you say it is appropriate?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Qing said: "These things are all stolen goods that the Tartars have stolen from the homes of officials and people around Gyeonggi, and gold and silver are easy to handle, but jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings must not be sold in the north, and they can only be bought at the big docks in the south, such as Yangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou, etc., where there are many rich people and can be sold at a good price." ”

Listening to what he said, Zhao Guohua nodded: "What you said is, let's do it, let's take a detour to SD and sell these things in JS, and go back to Ji'an through AH to JX." ”

"We listen to the general." Lu Qing, Zhang Shun and others said in unison.

So, the brigade turned in a different direction, from southwest to southeast, from HB to SD.

Guyuan, known as Dayuan, Gaoping, Xiaoguan and Yuanzhou in ancient times, referred to as "Gu", is located in the south of NX Hui Autonomous Region, on the bank of the Qingshui River at the northern foot of Liupan Mountain on the Loess Plateau. Located in the center of the triangle of Xi'an, Lanzhou and Yinchuan, the city was built in 114 BC, the Silk Road must pass through, and one of the nine important towns in the Ming Dynasty. "The left controls the five plains, the right takes the Lanhui, the yellow stream surrounds the north, Kongtong blocks the south, according to the shoulders of the eight counties, the key to the three towns", "the road back to the middle is dangerous, Xiaoguan Fengwei is more", it is the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight. From the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the territory became a place for military tun and pastoral supervision, and a large area of land was reduced to tuntian and pastureland.

The yamen of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty is located here, and the current governor Hong Chengchou is stationed here.

In the tenth year of Hongzhi, the fire was screened into the Kou, and the governor of the important ministers was considered to be sent to the governor SXGS Yansui and NX military affairs, so the king of the left capital Yushi Yue was appointed. Fifteen years later, it's time to stop. In the fourth year of Jiajing, it was established, and it was initially called Admiral Military Affairs. Seven years changed to a general system. Nineteen years to avoid the word, changed to the governor, open the mansion to solidify, anti-autumn stationed in Huamachi.

Due to the fact that after the northern border of SX was divided into Yansui, NX and GS, each town was ordered to undertake the task of guarding the border within its jurisdiction alone, and in case of war, there was no mutual defense duty, so there were many defeats. In order to effectively consolidate the northwest border, the "Governor SX Trilateral Military Affairs Officer" was established, referred to as the Trilateral Governor, to take over its power and control the Governor of Hexi, Hedong, SX, and the nine general troops of Gan, Liang, Su, Xi, NX Yansui, Shintoling, Xing'an, and Guyuan.

"General Cao, congratulations, from today onwards, you will be the chief military officer of Lintao." Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, said, and congratulated the general Cao Bianjiao with a smile on his face.

Because of his meritorious participation in the encirclement and suppression of Gao Yingxiang in Heishuiyu (now Heihe Reservoir in ZZ County, SX Province), Hong Chengchou's subordinate general Cao Bianjiao was promoted to the governor-general and the chief military officer of Lintao.

"This is all under the command of the Governor, without the strategy of the Lord, there will be no end to the general's survival, and I hope that the Lord will give me more advice in the future." Cao Bianjiao smiled and bowed.

Hong Chengchou (1593.10.16-1665.04.03), known as Yanyan, was born in Yingdu, Nan'an, FJ Quanzhou (now Xiamei, Liangshan Village, Yingdu Town). In the forty-fourth year of Wanli (1616), Jinshi, the first director of the Criminal Department JX Qing Officials Division, the former member of the Wailang, Lang Zhong, and then tired of the official to SX to participate in the political envoy, Chongzhen when the official to the military department Shangshu, Jiliao Governor, after the defeat of the Battle of Songjin was captured by the Qing Dynasty, and then surrendered to become a bachelor of the Han Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty. In April of the first year of Shunzhi (1644), he entered the customs with the Qing army. After arriving in Beijing, he was given the title of Prince Taibao, the Secretary of the Military Department and the Right Deputy Imperial History, and was listed as the assistant of the Inner Court.

In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661), he invited himself. Kangxi died in the fourth year (1665), and he was a member of Wenxiang.

The pacification of many riots is very important to the Son of Heaven. At that time, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao were called the big and small Cao generals.

After Cao Wenzhao died in battle, Cao Bianjiao was recommended by Hong Chengchou as the deputy commander-in-chief. From then on, he followed Hong Chengchou to suppress peasant uprisings many times. Later, because of his meritorious service in killing Gao Yingxiang, he was promoted to the governor's servant and the chief military officer of Lintao.

Listening to Cao Bianjiao's words, Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and smiled proudly, glanced at the Guyuan General Soldier Zuo Guangxian and NX Chief Soldier Ma Ke standing in the festival hall, and then said, "General Cao, you are too polite, no matter how good my plan is, if it is not for your courageous struggle, it will be useless, I Hong have today's achievements, this is all the credit of the generals, Hong Mou is here to thank you." After speaking, he bowed to the three of them.

"I can't do it! I can't help it! Your Excellency, you have killed me. The three of them said, hurriedly bowing their heads and bowing in return.

After saluting, the four of them looked at each other and laughed.

After the four of them laughed, Hong Chengchou sighed: "Gao Yingxiang, the giant of the Liukou, is already in the capital to subjugate the law, and General Cao Wenzhao can also smile at Jiuquan." ”

Cao Wenzhao, SX Datongren. Courageous and resourceful. A famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, known as the first good general in the late Ming Dynasty. Officers to the general army. He made outstanding contributions in the war to suppress the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, there will be this day, Cao Wenzhao is not in good spirits, he will definitely bless us to catch these two thieves." Hong Chengchou said confidently, and after speaking, his eyes looked in the direction of SX. As far as he knew, Li Zicheng was hiding in the dense forest of SX's ravine, and he was ready to send troops into Shaanxi as soon as Sun Chuanting, the governor of SX, asked for it.

After nearly a month's long march, Azig, the king of Jin Wuying, together with Raoyu Belle Abatai and Yangguli, led the army to Shengjing. (present-day Shenyang)

Shengjing was the capital of the Qing Dynasty (Later Jin) from 1625 to 1644. That is, in the 20th year of Ming Hongwu (1387) in SY City, LN Province, Shenyang Zhongwei was placed here, which was under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Command Embassy. In March of the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Nurhachi occupied Shenyang. In April, the capital was moved from Xingjing (LN Xinbin) to Tokyo (LN Liaoyang), and then moved to Shengjing (LN Shenyang) in ten years.

In the tenth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1625), Taizu of the Qing Dynasty moved the capital from Liaoyang to Shenyang, and began to build the imperial palace (now the Shenyang Imperial Palace) in Shenyang. In the eleventh year of the Mandate of Heaven (1626), Nurhachi died, and Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty was located here, expanding the city of Shenyang and building a palace. In the eighth year of Tiancong (1634), Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty renamed Shenyang as "Shengjing". In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), after the Qing Dynasty moved its capital to BJ, Shenyang was the remaining capital. In the thirteenth year of Shunzhi (1657), the Qing Dynasty set up Fengtianfu in Shenyang with the meaning of "Fengtian carrier", so Shenyang is also known as "Fengtian".

This pattern reflects traditional Chinese culture. The square shape of the inner city is the embodiment of the Han city model, while the circle of the outer city is more expressive of the architectural form of the Manchu nomadic gathering place, and the combination of the inner and outer city is the embodiment of the integration of Manchu and Han cultures.

The pattern of Shengjing City is the "well" pattern, and Zhongjie Road, Shenyang Road, Zhengyang Street and Chaoyang Street are expanded on the basis of the original four "well" roads that run through the city. Four roads enclose the Forbidden City in the middle, and the four roads correspond to the eight gates in and out of the city, that is, "eight gates to eight streets".

To the east of the city, the north is the small east gate (Neizhi gate), and the south is the big east gate (Fujin gate). To the south of the city, the west is the small south gate (Tianyou Gate), and the east is the big south gate (Desheng Gate). To the west of the city, the north is the small west gate (wai fangmen), and the south is the big west gate (Huaiyuan gate). The north of the city is the small north gate (ground gate) in the west, and the big north gate (Fusheng gate) in the east.
