Shanhaiguan was called Yuguan in ancient times, also known as Linlu Pass, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was ordered to repair Yongping, Jieling and other passes, and created Shanhaiguan in this place, because it leans on Yanshan in the north, and connects the Bohai Sea in the south, so it is named Shanhaiguan. [No pop-up novel network]

Unlike the early Ming Dynasty when the beacon was full of flames, the Eastern Expedition to the North, and the late Ming Dynasty when the Eastern Captives were raging and full of dangers, the Shanhaiguan during the Zhengde period was far from being a strategic place, because there were no enemies on both sides, so its important surname was far worse than other passes in Xuanfu and Jizhen, which can be seen from the scale of the garrison army.

When Xie Hong passed through Juyong Pass, he was stationed as a general, and here in Shanhaiguan, it was just a garrison. And Shanhaiguan's Zhou Garrison was not taken seriously, and when he heard that the famous plague god arrived, the three souls bluffed first, and he hurriedly went out of the customs and greeted the old man.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too few soldiers and horses under his command, and they were scattered everywhere, and there was no time to assemble, he would have been eager to meet him in front of the gate, for fear that he would be sluggish and provoke the anger of the legendary plague god, so that he would follow the mistakes of his ancestors.

When the guard of honor arrived, Zhou Shoubei breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly sighed that the rumors that this thing may not be accurate, although the young champion Hou is powerful, he is not much of a shelf, and he can get along tightly.

Of course, he didn't take Xie Hong lightly because he was good at getting along on the surface, and the head of Wu Yu, the general of the guard, was now hanging on the city gate, and a person who could do such a thing could not be called a good person anyway.

Even the general of the guard is said to kill and kill, and in the eyes of the other party, he is afraid that he is not even an ant. People give a smiling face, that's the kindness of Lord Qincha, if you don't know what to do, and you are fluttering, it is shameless to give your face, and you won't be happy.

The surface is warm, the face is turned quickly, and the means are more ruthless, this Hou Ye is also somewhat similar to the champion Hou in history. In the face of such a person, how dare Zhou Shoubei ignore it.

"Your Excellency, the government has been cleaned up, can you please move?" Zhou Shoubei respectfully asked.

According to the geographical division, Shanhaiguan is exactly at the junction of the two border towns, which can be regarded as belonging to Jizhen, but Zhou Shoubei and Wen Zongbing have similar ideas, if Xie Hong wants to reach out, how much difference can there be between Jizhen and Liao Town?

The facilities in Shanhaiguan are not particularly complete, and Zhou Shoubei was afraid of provoking Xie Hong's dissatisfaction, but he gave up his mansion. Xie Hong is not hypocritical, killing people is for Liwei, and inviting the chief soldiers of the two towns is also Liwei, so naturally he has to put up a shelf, which is a part of Liwei.

"If Wen and Han arrive, let them come here to see Ben Hou." When he arrived at the place, a faint command came from the car, but Zhou Shoubei listened to it in his ears, but he was scared into a cold sweat, this champion Hou was indeed decisive, and he summoned the two general soldiers silently, which is really amazing.

He wiped the fine hair and sweat from his head, carefully thought about his behavior again along the way, and made sure that there was no loss of manners, so he breathed a sigh of relief and went to his private house.

Xie Hong and his entourage have a lot of people, of course, it is not a small garrison mansion that can be settled, and many people are also placed in the military camp and private houses. Fortunately, there are not many garrisons in Shanhaiguan, and there are few people, but they can be arranged, and after some trouble, they finally settled down.

This road is windy and cold, and it is frightened, very painful, and now to Shanhaiguan, which means that the road is more than halfway, and there is no safety worry, most people are put down their worries, and rest early.

There are people here in the garrison mansion who are not resting, the light is still on in the study, Jiang Bin has nothing to do after dinner, but he found here, pushed the door in, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xie, why don't you rest, could it be that you are waiting for those two general soldiers?" ”

Xie Hong raised his eyes and saw that it was Jiang Bin, put down the scroll in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, do you want to ask me why I made an appointment to meet those two chief soldiers?" ”

"Hehe, Brother Xie really knows everything, but he can't hide it from you." Scarface touched the back of his head, and said with a wry smile: "Although it is a bit against the rules to kill the general, but Wu Yu deserves it, and if he kills it, he will kill it, but if he kills two more general soldiers, it will be a little difficult to clean up." ”

As if he was afraid that Xie Hong had misunderstood, Jiang Bin hurriedly added: "Brother Xie, I have inquired, the general soldier of Jizhen is a foreigner, so it doesn't matter, but Han Fu in Liao Town is a local general's family, and he is quite entrenched in Liao Town, if we kill him, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble in the future." ”

"I didn't say that I wanted to kill them, I just asked them to come and talk, besides, when I, the governor, took office, according to the rules, the local general soldiers came to greet them, right?" Xie Hong shrugged his shoulders and said that he had no killing intent.

"But you're sure they're coming?" Jiang Bin asked again: "We just killed a general, do they still dare to come?" Moreover, the nine border towns have all given the court an urgent warning, obviously they are all in a group with the foreign courts, will they sell our face? If they don't come, then we'll ......."

Jiang Bin wanted to speak and stopped, but Xie Hong understood his unfinished meaning, it was nothing more than being hung by others, and he would lose face, etc., he didn't take it to heart, waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, there are ways to deal with it, there are ways to deal with it if you don't come and you don't come to deal with it, I am just a way to respond to all changes with the same." ”

Xie Hong pointed to the scroll on the table and said, "I don't know if I don't see it, but this Liao Town is much more complicated than I thought in advance, if we don't suppress the forces of all parties at the beginning, I'm afraid that our major affairs will be delayed for a long time." ”

Liaozhen was only established in the Yongle period, and there were no Han people here at first, and the residents here gradually migrated after Zhu Di moved the capital to Yanjing.

The Chinese people all care about the countryside, and for the people of the Central Plains, Liaodong is a wild and bitter cold place, and it is impossible for serious people to have the idea of migrating here.

Therefore, Zhu Di's move to enrich the relocation of the people in Jingyou had little effect at the beginning, and in the end he could only rely on the division of the heroes in the army and the exile of criminals, which formed a certain scale of immigration.

Among the nine border towns, although the strength of Liao Town is not strong, it is the most complicated one, all kinds of forces are mixed in the middle, there are Jiangmen families, there are hereditary military households, and many are criminals, in addition, there are quite a few to defect to the grassland herdsmen, Korean refugees and the like, it is really difficult to count.

This also caused a lot of trouble to Xie Hong, he was not afraid of Wu Yu's kind of person who went straight to find trouble, although the border army of Jizhen was strong, but in front of his backer, he couldn't cause any trouble at all.

On the contrary, the situation in Liaozhen made him feel a little tricky, and among the nine sides, the loyalty of the Liaozhen border army to the imperial court was probably the lowest. It's okay to say that the Jiangmen family and the hereditary military household are good, but those foreign races, or after the criminals, don't have much concept of the majesty of the Son of Heaven, at least they won't be like the border army in Jizhen, and they can't even have the idea of resisting.

Maybe these people don't dare to engage in any big battles openly, but if their interests are moved, they are not afraid to play some tricks, and in Zhang Nai's information to Xie Hong, there is a detailed description of the complicated situation in Liaozhen.

When Zhang Nai was the governor of Liaodong, he fought with these people a lot, and in the end, he didn't tell the winner. Zhang Nai killed many officers by virtue of his power as governor, and many officials he sent out to do things were also killed by the other party, and his various ideas were approved by the imperial court, but in fact, few of them could be implemented.

This is also an important reason why he hates martial arts, when it comes to the governor of Liaozhen, even if he talks about it after so many years, he still looks like he has palpitations, and even admonished Xie Hong.

Xie Hong has already made up his mind, of course, he will not retreat because of difficulties, but after being reminded by Zhang Nai, he will not take it lightly.

"So, I plan to deter that chief soldier Han Fu from the beginning, as long as he doesn't come forward, even if it's a little troublesome, it shouldn't matter." Xie Hong explained to Jiang Bin: "This time, we also want to take advantage of the momentum, not the momentum of the emperor, but the momentum of Jizhen!" ”

Jiang Bin nodded, he also understood this, just like between the border army and the Beijing camp, the military towns secretly compare with each other, Jizhen and Liaozhen are adjacent, but the strength is very different.

The educated people of the Central Plains will respect the majesty of the Son of Heaven, while the people outside the country prefer to speak with strength, and it is indeed a good way to use Ji Zhen to suppress the various forces in Liao Town.

"But what if that gentleness doesn't come?" The left and right had already started, and Jiang Bin thought that it would be better to ask at a time, so he raised another doubt.

"It doesn't matter if you don't come, the head of Wu Yu on the left and right is hanging out, so as long as Han Fu is not deaf or blind, he must be able to see it. If Han Fu doesn't come, then we have to stay here for a while, and wait for the emperor to order to take people. Xie Hong smiled brightly.

This is a conspiracy, whoever doesn't come will use the backer to press whom, and if he doesn't come, he will press together, and the left and right will delay time, but the consequences are different.

"What's more, in my estimation, that moderation should not be incomprehensible to the situation. If he is determined to follow the outer court, when Wu Yu comes, he should follow, since he didn't come, it means that he also has his own little abacus, and such a person belongs to the category that can be wooed. ”

For the scholars, Xie Hong didn't win over much, except for the one who came to the door himself, he only beat Wang Shouren's idea, but the result was not successful. It's not that he intends to push the other party to the opposite side, it's just that he doesn't have enough benefits for the other party, and his position is fundamentally different, so he can't win them over at all.

Before Xie Hong entered Beijing, the three major scholars were in power and the opposition, and Zhengde, who was pressed, had to ask the foreign court if he wanted to eat more, so what conditions did Xie Hong want to use to win over these people?

Sending money? The low-status gives money to the high-status, that is called refuge, not wooing, not to mention the three ministers, even if it is the six ministries and nine secretaries, and even the officials at the level of the squire, they don't take him seriously.

It is also a way to subdue these people by force, and then subdue them, but those people are all old bureaucrats who have been immersed in the silver officialdom for many years, can you believe it?

Xie Hong is self-aware, with his political literacy, playing the means of officialdom, he can't handle any of those old foxes, not to mention these in the center, a little master in Beizhuang County almost let him capsize, fighting political means? He's still thankful for being insensitive.

However, it is different for military generals, Xie Hongda can be both ennice and powerful, and he has a lot of cards in his hand to win over these people.

The simplest, if his attitude is better, he can make the other party think that he is a corporal of courtesy, no way, noble and cheap! His status is very lethal to military generals.

What's more, military generals are different from civilian officials, even those generals from a family of generals, what they have taught since childhood are military strategies and martial arts, and after reading and reading, they also read military books and war strategies, and few can study political methods, so why don't you go to school?

Even if he is the military god Qi Jiguang, he is also from a general, and he is also literate and polite, but he is invincible on the battlefield, but he is still defeated in the court battle, and he can't turn over until he dies.

The technical content of political struggle is also very high, and one must pay a price for rushing into unfamiliar territory. Bulls like Qi Jiguang are like this, not to mention other generals?

Therefore, Xie Hong did not dare to use the means of division and co-optation to deal with the scholars, but he dared to use it to deal with the generals, and Shanhaiguan was the first stage for him to display his means.
