Before the martyrdom, Zhu Yuanzhang divided a series of his older and stronger sons in the north, and later generations often referred to these princes as Saiwang.

However, the fate of these Cypriot kings varied. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, usurped the throne of his nephew Zhu Yunwen and ascended the throne as the son of Yongle; Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, was coerced by Zhu Di to rebel together, but after the matter was completed, he lost his Duoyan Sanwei instead, and was thrown to the fiefdom of Nanchang, Jiangxi, and died depressed; Although the king of the valley and the acting king are still in Xuanfu Datong, they have long become idle kings who eat and wait for death; The first generation of Liao Wang, who crossed the sea and returned to Nanjing in the second year of Jianwen, was moved to Zhang Juzheng's hometown Jiangling Mansion after the Jingjing, and the current Liao Wangye has been abolished as a concubine, so now the title of Liao King is still vacant.

And now in the northwest corner of Guangning City in eastern Liaodong, the Liao Wangfu in the Hongwu period has only left the original foundation under the changes of two hundred years. Because of the high terrain, the folk call it Wanzi Mountain, and there are those who call it Wancui Mountain or Wanzi Mountain in order to spread the falsehood. As for why such a 10,000-character is used, no one in Guangning can say why, only people privately rumored that Zhu Zhixing, the first Liao king, may have had a little bit of dissent. Because this is where the foundation of the former royal palace is located, even if there are no traces of the old days, there are occasionally literati and writers who come here to pay their respects, and even local scholars often choose to gather here.

After all, although there are still the joint tombs of several emperors and queens of the Liao Dynasty outside the city, after all, going out of the city may encounter such and such troubles, where is it safer than in the city.

Liaodong faced Mongolia and Jurchen directly, and there was already a martial style, and the atmosphere of studying for the imperial examination was far less than that of the southeast, and even the land of Henan and Shaanxi was more stable than here. Now in the spring season of the Central Plains, there is only a little green on Wanzi Mountain, and almost everyone is wearing a sword in the few scholars who are wandering around. What he spit out occasionally is not a sage article, but how much the Liaodong general Li Dashuai, who has not yet returned from Liaoyang, has won a great battle in Gule Village, and which generals have been assigned to such and such a place.

And at this moment, in a team of five or six people, after the weak-crowned young man who walked at the forefront reached the top, he also turned around and smiled at the others: "Don't say anything else in this Guangning City." There are so many government offices that it's jaw-dropping. In addition to the Liaodong Patrol Imperial History, the Deputy Chief Military Office, and the Liaodong Capital Division in Liaoyang, there is the Liaodong General Military Office, which has the jurisdiction of the pacesetter left guerrilla, and then the Guangning Guard, the Guangning Left Guard, the Guangning Right Guard, the Guangning Zhongwei, the Guangning Beiyu Division, and the Houtun Beiyu, plus the Liaodong Governor's Procuratorate, as well as the Division, all kinds of officials will occupy half of the city. ”

It was Wang Fulin who spoke. After they left Shanhaiguan, the road gradually improved. It is also an official road, which is twice as fast as the previous marching road that often crosses mountains and mountains, and the journey is much easier. And everyone walked along the way, only to see that what they saw along the way was more than the posture of the forts near the border wall of Jizhen Town, and they could even say an exaggerated sentence that after entering Liaodong, the normal villages and towns were not as much as this fort and that village. Nine out of ten farmers were in the military. Therefore, everything here is under military control. There is no establishment of any prefecture and county at all, only various acropolis or thousands of households. 100 households.

And this experience reached its culmination after entering Quang Ninh City.

There are a total of six gates in Guangning City, east and west, north and south, Yong'an Gate in the east, Tai'an Gate in the southeast, Ying'en Gate in the south, and Gongzhen Gate and West Gate in the west. Jingyuan Gate in the north, there are tall corner towers on all sides of the city. And just like Wang Fulin just said, the city of Guangning is densely populated with yamen, and the most magnificent of them is naturally the Liaodong General Military Mansion. Maybe it's because of the time when the Orthodox years were established. Also take into account that the Liao Wangfu in the past is the palace regulation after all, so the Liao Wangfu was not rebuilt on the spot, but built in the southeast corner of the city, after a term of general army repair, now in Guangning City is incomparable.

However, Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, is now not in the city of Guangning. This is not only because of the new system set in the first year of Longqing, which is the same as the relocation of the general troops on the day of the autumn prevention in Ningxia, Shanxi, etc., which is set in the winter month of each year, that is, in November, the general army of Liaodong moves to Liaoyang, dispatches defense, responds to Haizhou and Shenyang, and returns to Guangning in spring; Rather, it was because in October of the previous year, the Jianzhou Jurchens had commanded Wang Gao to collude with the Tumut and the Tainingwei, Kou Liaoyang and Shenyang in the Duoyan Sanwei. Li Chengliang personally led the army to attack, although he defeated Wang Gao and broke through Gule Village, but he had not yet returned. Not only Li Chengliang, but also Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, has not yet returned.

According to the news that Wang Fulin and others found out after entering the city, at this time, after Li Chengliang broke Gule Village, he should be on his way back to Guangning from Liaoyang. Since the main owner was not there, they were happy to go around and around, and dismissed everyone to walk around to find out the news, and within a few days, he and Xiaobei and the Shen family's uncle and nephew went around the front of the official offices in the city.

Among them, the official office of Guangning City can be said to be a rare yamen with a bit of civil nature on this road.

Previously, Wang Fulin and his entourage had just visited outside the gate of the Division. Wang Fulin, who has a lot of experience and knows a lot about the operation of the official office, talked with Menzi for a while, and found out the full name of the official position of the sub-patrol road - the sub-patrol of Liaohai Dongning Road, and the military garrison of Guangning and other places, and the deputy envoy of the Shandong Criminal Division. Twenty-seven words in total, that's as long. This can also be regarded as the characteristics of many border towns in the Ming Dynasty, which are divided into guarding roads and patrolling roads.

At first glance, the official of Liaodong has the title of Shandong, which seems to be difficult to understand, but as long as you think about Ye Junyao's sub-patrol road at the beginning, you can understand that this is one of the new inventions of the Ming Dynasty, the title. The sub-patrol roads of the North Zhili and the South Zhili are all entrusted to the surrounding major political departments according to the judges, so they completely belong to the military management of Liaodong, and the sub-patrol roads, sub-patrol roads and military preparation roads are entrusted to the Shandong political department and the Shandong according to the judicial department, but administratively, it is directly under the management of the governor of Liaodong, and the sub-patrol road is in charge of the military equipment near Guangning, and the sub-patrol road is in charge of the military equipment near Liaoyang.

Therefore, it is not a multi-tasking and experienced official, and he is simply not qualified to be the leader in Liaodong.

In addition to them, there are also the general judgment of the grain in Guangning City, the general judgment of the people, and the ambassador of the Taxation Department, and the household department in charge of the grain and the lang, all of which are nominally subordinate to Shandong, and the same is true of the three classes and six rooms of these civil affairs yamen. Specialized in all kinds of taxes.

And Shen Maoxue is not more concerned about the official office, but Confucianism, and at this moment he took Wang Fulin's words and said: "There are many official offices, but Confucianism is very deserted." There is almost no one in Guangning Weixue, although the students in this year may not all stay in Confucianism, but it is deserted to this extent. Menzi almost didn't know anything, but it was really rare. ”

Hearing Shen Maoxue's words, although Shen Yourong said that he didn't even get out of the show, almost all of the elders in the family had been students, so he could naturally guess what his uncle was thinking, and immediately couldn't help but retort: "Uncle, that's not what I said, Liaodong was originally a military household in Tuntian, and there were few civilian households. In addition, the land is bitterly cold, and it is not as rich and solid as the southeast, so of course there are few people who can afford to read. Even if you are a student, since you are in the military, you are not so free. Not to mention anything else, Li Dashuai, the current Liaodong commander-in-chief, was not forty years old and still a student, and he didn't have the money to go to Beijing to take the military post of hereditary commander. As a result, the Liaodong Patrol at that time was funded by the imperial history? Now that the spring flowers are blooming, maybe those students from poor families will have to help work in the fields. It doesn't have to be a waste of school. ”

Wang Fulin saw that Shen Maoxue was so topped by Shen Yourong, but he didn't laugh angrily, and suddenly thought of the scene when he and Wang Daoguan met by the Fengle River, speaking of which when Wang Daoguan got along with him, he often contradicted Wang Daoguan, and the two didn't look like uncles and nephews. After all, his nephew didn't look like a nephew. However, Shen Yourong is always more like a nephew than him. Sure enough, the next moment, Shen Yourong, who saw his uncle but was silent, hurriedly apologized, and Shen Maoxue began to beat his nephew by the way. As he watched, he smiled and grabbed Xiaobei's hand. Quietly retreated to the side and sat down on a large and fairly clean rock.

Since leaving Shanhaiguan, Xiaobei has seen Wang Fulin's words and deeds in his eyes, and he can't help but be a little strange: "Since you entered Liaodong, you have been inquiring about that Li Dashuai, why, are you afraid that his reputation for indiscriminate killing will be outside, and it will be difficult to get along with?" ”

"I'm not going to the governor of Liaodong who is teaming up with this Li Dashuai, second, I'm not going to pick on the imperial history of Liaodong, and third, I'm not guarding the road and patrolling the road, I'm just an ordinary little jinshi, what are I worried about getting along with people?" Wang Fulin knew that Xiaobei was caring about himself, but even if he was as close as his wife, he couldn't say too much, so he smiled and said, "Although it can't be like seeing Qi Dashuai, with his uncle's reputation, he will be invincible, but I think that my uncle inspected Jiliao and Liaodong at the beginning, and Liaodong was the same, I was afraid that he would have some grievances but didn't tell me, and now I am sure that there is no holiday, I can rest assured." ”

"Uncle values you so much, if you really have a holiday with others, will you not be reminded? Don't you just lie to me with your eyes open, and if you don't say it, you won't say it! ”

Xiaobei snorted coldly angrily, and suddenly his ears moved, and his eyes quickly looked in the other direction. Sure enough, I saw a group of four people appear from the corner of a small road, just in front of them. A young man in his early twenties, tall, with high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and a bush of thick black whiskers on his chin, the other three behind him seemed to be retinues. When he saw the outfits of several people on Wang Fulin's side, he frowned obviously, and then strode forward.

"You guys don't look like Quang Ninh natives, where are you from?"

With such a condescending tone, Shen Yourong was suddenly a little unconvinced, but Shen Maoxue stopped him from recklessly wanting to answer with a look. Seeing Wang Fulin bowing slightly, obviously asking the older him to contact the other party, Shen Maoxue did not refuse, and immediately stepped forward: "I am from Xuancheng, Ningguofu, Nanzhili, and I will take my nephew and a few friends to the border town for a walk, and I will travel a lot." ”

"Friends?" The people who came glanced at Wang Fulin and Xiaobei, their eyes fell on him and Xiaobei's swords, and then they looked at the uncles and nephews of the Shen family, and saw that the four of them were all wearing swords, and the two family members were also carrying weapons, so he laughed and said, "I heard that most of the scholars in the south are powerless, but I didn't expect to bring a sword to pretend to be when I go out." Do you know how to use this sword? If you can use it, you can play two tricks for me. ”

In the face of such a frivolous tone, Shen Yourong's face was already flushed, but seeing that Shen Maoxue and Wang Fulin were all right, even Xiaobei looked calm and relaxed, he couldn't help but suppress his anger, and hoped that his uncle would use some real skills to let the other party take a look. But to his surprise, Shen Maoxue actually untied the sword and sent it to the young man.

"Listening to the tone of the childe, he should be a master here, why don't you let me wait to open my eyes?"

PS: Whether the Liaodong General Military Office is in Liaoyang or Guangning, there are many theories, and the explanation is to be released (to be continued.) )

PS: It is said that in the first year of Longqing, the Liaodong General Military Office was completely moved from Guangning to Liaoyang, but looking at the relevant records, it was "in the first year of Longqing, Dongyue moved to the moderate place of Liaoyang, Hedong, dispatched defense, and responded to Haizhou and Shenyang", and Liaoyang has a deputy general army, but Guangning does not, it makes no sense that the general army has moved to Liaoyang, and Guangning does not leave a deputy general army to guard. Referring to the general army in Ningxia and other places, the general army will move on the day of the autumn defense, so the general army of Liaodong is stationed in Guangning in peacetime and goes to Liaoyang in winter. Quang Ninh and Liaoyang are the two centers of Liaodong, and it is generally said that Quang Ninh is a military center, and Liaoyang is a political and economic center and a military fortress
