When I arrived at Ningyuan City, I saw a huge city in the distance.

Su Tiancheng pointed to Ning Yuancheng and spoke to Wang Dazhi and the others beside him.

"Dazhi, Ningyuan City is very famous, in the future, we will resist the Houjin Tartars here, can we insult the reputation of this city."

"Adults, the little ones will definitely defend this place desperately."

Su Tiancheng shook his head helplessly.

"Dazhi, every time you go to a place, you must understand the situation here, this Ningyuan City, built in Xuande for three years, was the Ningyuan Acropolis at that time, and now it has been more than two hundred years, you see the city wall of Ningyuan City, and the city walls in other places are different, the city wall is very tall, the height is three feet and two feet, the width of the city wall is two feet and four feet, the length of the entire city wall is nine thousand six hundred feet, the city is firmly enclosed, the sixth and seventh years of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have led heavy troops to attack Ningyuan City, but they are all defeated, The former Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan led the sergeants to guard desperately and seriously injured Nurhachi, these officials and ordinary people of my Ming Dynasty are all knowledgeable, no matter what everyone thinks of Yuan Chonghuan, at least in these two battles, Yuan Chonghuan has fulfilled his duty. ”

"The adults are stationed in Ningyuan City, and the small ones believe that they will definitely be able to exterminate the Houjin Tartars."

"Don't say these nice words, they don't work, the situation along the road, you have also seen, this place in Liaodong has suffered too many wars, and now it is also shrouded in the clouds of war, the strength of the Houjin Tartars should not be underestimated, if we underestimate the enemy's thinking, we will definitely suffer defeat."

Wang Dazhi was a little surprised, he had never heard Su Tiancheng show weakness.

"Adults, small ones think that the Jiangning camp once exterminated 30,000 Tartars, and there is nothing great about Tartars."

"You're wrong. Many people think like this, in fact, this is a wrong and outrageous view, when Chongzhen was in the ninth year, the Jiangning battalion was able to exterminate 30,000 Tartars, relying on tactics and the contempt of the Tartars, what kind of conditions was that. The Tartars entered the customs and penetrated deep into the interior of our Ming Dynasty, and in this place close to the Jingshi, they had no reinforcements, no fixed strongholds, and were unscrupulous. Of course, it was a hand-to-hand capture, but the situation is different now. ”

Wang Dazhi looked at Su Tiancheng and did not speak.

"The Guanningjin defense line is regarded as a big trouble by Houjin, and they have always believed that this should be the range of their potential, as long as they break through the Guanningjin defense line. The Kyoshi is just around the corner, in this place. Houjin also invested heavy troops, Dalinghe City, and there were also Houjin Tartars, who were familiar with this place and came and went freely, to a certain extent. This is also their stronghold, so the situation faced by the Jiangning camp is completely different, and the first thing we have to do is to gain a foothold here. ”

Wang Dazhi was a little incomprehensible. Could it be that the Jiangning battalion has been stationed in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and has not yet gained a foothold.

"Adult, I think that the Jiangning battalion has been stationed in the Guanningjin defense line and has stabilized."

"The stability of the army does not play a decisive role, the key is the stability of the people, to make the people fully trust our Jiangning battalion, feel completely at ease, be able to cultivate land in Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan area, and live a peaceful life, in such a situation, the Jiangning battalion can be regarded as a foothold here."

Wang Dazhi's face changed, it turned out that this was the foothold, and it seemed that the task in the future would not be light.

The east gate of Ningyuan City, here is called the Spring and Gate.

Hong Chengchou led many officers to stand at the gate of the city to greet Su Tiancheng and his party.

When Su Tiancheng dismounted and came to the city gate, many officers saluted together.

Su Tiancheng noticed a burly officer, and he saw that he was wearing a sleeve for the general soldier.

"My lord, this is the ancestor of Ningyuan's chief soldier."

"The last general, Chief Officer Ning Yuan, pays a visit to your lordship."

After Hong Chengchou's introduction, Zu Dashou knelt on one knee and gave Su Tiancheng a military salute.

"It turned out to be Chief Soldier Zu, hurry up."

Su Tiancheng didn't say much, Zu Dashou's body was stained, the battle of the Daling River, Zu Dashou had no choice but to surrender Houjin, and then looked for an opportunity, returned to Ningyuan, and the official was reinstated, this matter was once criticized by the court officials, and Zu Dashou himself was deeply ashamed.

Jiliao Governor's Mansion is located in the north of Chunhe Street in Ningyuan City, and is the most majestic building in Ningyuan City.

Ningyuan City is not big, Su Tiancheng did not ride a horse, and after entering the city gate, under the leadership of Hong Chengchou and others, he walked slowly towards the Governor's Mansion.

There are not many people in Ningyuan City, which is also caused by the changes in the situation in recent years, during the Apocalypse, it was very lively here, with more than 50,000 soldiers, and now, but more than ten years, it has been reduced to less than 20,000.

The Governor's Mansion has been empty for a long time, since Yuan Chonghuan, the imperial court has not appointed Jiliao Governor, and no one dares to enter the Governor's Mansion, and the usual maintenance is the responsibility of Zu Dashou and others.

Walking to the front of the governor's mansion, two huge stone lions appeared in front of him.

Su Tiancheng walked to the stone lion on the left and patted the stone lion.

"Brother, I've worked hard for you, I've been staying here all the time, I'm afraid it's a little lonely, you don't have to make such a look, this official will accompany you now."

Hong Chengchou and the others were all familiar with Su Tiancheng and didn't care, but Zu Dashou and other officers were very surprised when they saw this scene, they didn't expect that the famous Su Tiancheng would be so easy-going.

The Governor's Mansion was also built according to the specifications of the government and was divided into three halls.

The lobby is the core of the Governor's Mansion, and it is also the place where Su Tiancheng works, the west side of the lobby is the Zhaomo Office, which is responsible for printing documents, Su Tiancheng issued an order to go away, and through the rapid printing here, it was sent to all parts of Jiliao, and the east side is the shogunate, which is the place where the staff office. On both sides there are also offices of the six sections, leaning on the shogunate are the offices of the bureaucracy department, the household department and the rite department, and the offices of the military department, the criminal department and the engineering department are leaning on the terruma office, and the officials of the six departments are directly sent by the imperial court to assist the superintendent in handling affairs.

The second hall is mainly a place for deliberations, including the main hall, the council hall, the signing room and the east and west wings, where the superintendent deliberates and the officials of the superintendent's office also work.

The three halls are mainly where Su Tiancheng stays, including two parts, with a garden and a point.

After all, the Inspector is mainly military, so the construction of the Governor's Mansion focuses on military aspects, such as the Dianjiangtai of the Three Halls, which is the best explanation.

Of course, in the governor's palace, there are also prison houses, as well as many houses, where prisoners are held, and many officials also live in the governor's house, which is easy to manage.

After Su Tiancheng entered the Governor's Mansion, he took a turn in the entire mansion.

The house is very clean, but there are no office staff for the time being, including the prison house is empty, which also reveals a message from the side, that is, the taboo of the officials to the Jiliao Governor's Mansion.

When Yuan Chonghuan was beheaded, the crime was very serious, and he was killed on charges of collaborating with the enemy and plotting treason.

The death penalty categories of the Ming Dynasty mainly include beheading, hanging, waist beheading, abandonment of the city, car splitting, Ling Chi and other types, among which Ling Chi is the most serious, which is called a thousand knives, unless it is a great crime or a person who is particularly hated by the emperor, Ling Chi's punishment will be used, for example, the great eunuch Liu Jin was executed by Ling Chi.

Killing is a type of car split, and it is the heaviest punishment among car splits, which means that the head and limbs must be cut off.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty had an unusual status, and under ordinary circumstances, they could not be punished as doctors, Yuan Chonghuan was a scholar, and he was a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and it was rare to be killed.

Because Yuan Chonghuan was killed, the Jiliao Governor's Mansion was cast a shadow, this Governor's Mansion was built directly by Yuan Chonghuan, and he didn't expect the first Governor who lived in it, so he was killed.

Therefore, some people think that this place has bad feng shui and must be haunted by demons.

After Yuan Chonghuan was killed, the officials of the Governor's Mansion left one after another, the original lively Governor's Mansion seemed very lonely, the soldiers and civilians in Ningyuan City were very avoidant of this place, under normal circumstances, it was a detour, and they were not willing to pass through here, when Chongzhen was in the ninth year, the Governor's Mansion was somewhat dilapidated, and at that time, Zu Dashou and other officers had begged the imperial court to allocate silver to repair the Governor's Mansion, but it was not approved.

In August of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the imperial court suddenly allocated silver taels and asked Zu Dashou and others to repair the governor's mansion.

At that time, rumors appeared, and everyone predicted that Su Tiancheng, who was in the military affairs of the five provinces, would definitely be the governor of Jiliao, so the emperor would allocate money to repair the Jiliao governor's mansion.

The renovation did not take long.

Su Tiancheng looked at the huge Governor's Mansion, and sighed very emotionally, there used to be a controversial Yuan Chonghuan living here, but he and Yuan Chonghuan had no intersection, when he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan had already died, but anyway, when Yuan Chonghuan was stationed in Ningyuan, he resisted the attack of Houjin twice, so that Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were defeated in Ningyuan City, this is the actual situation, from this aspect, Yuan Chonghuan still has merit.

Of course, Su Tiancheng came to Ningyuan and stationed in the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, but it was not just as simple as holding the Guanningjin defense line, if it was said that he wanted to hold here and prevent the Houjin Tatars from entering the customs and harassing him, Su Tiancheng would not have to be the Jiliao Governor.

Houjin has a great headache for the Guanning Jin defense line, almost helpless, the Ming also relies on this line of defense, Gong Wei Jingshi, Houjin Tatar several times into the customs, and later chose to enter the customs from Mongolia, Datong, Ningxia, in this way, the distance is far away, the supply is difficult, if it is not for the Ming army is too weak, the supply of the Houjin Tatars can be replenished in the Ming Dynasty, and the Tatars do not dare to enter the customs at all.

There are a lot of things in his mind, Su Tiancheng knows better, he came to Liaodong, many people are watching, and they all hope that he can give Houjin a heavy blow in the shortest possible time, so that the Guanning Jin defense line is more solid, this desire is good, since he has been appointed as the governor of Jiliao, Su Tiancheng also has to fight, and he is always cowering in Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan and other cities, it will definitely not work.
