For example, the territory of Xishenwei is bounded by the confluence of the Songhua River and the Asu River in the east, the Kemu Mountain in the west, the Asu River in the east, and a dense forest swamp tens of miles wide in the south and the Kemuwei Ground.
The shape of the whole Xishenwei is roughly an equilateral triangle, with a side length of about 200 li.
Now Lian Zining occupies a corner of Xishenwei, and other places are occupied by rebels and bandits and horse thieves, Lian Zining is powerless and unwilling to care about them, just watching coldly, restraining his subordinates every day, and only operating around Xishenwei, and those forces also know that Wu Yijun is not easy to mess with, and they dare not come over to make trouble.
On August 25, the angel came to Xishenwei, Lian Zining and others opened the city gate, the gate of the city lord's mansion, and placed incense in front of the hall of the city lord's mansion and knelt down to welcome the holy decree.
"Fengtian carried the emperor, the edict said, I am glad to hear the good news of the Songhua River, the Jurchen sea slaves, the disaster has subsided, and I am very relieved. In this war, fortunately, thanks to the dispatch of the imperial court, the whole country is united, the soldiers are powerful, the sea slaves are pacified, and the frontier is pacified, and there should be a reward. β
The sharp voice of the father-in-law echoed, these words were very beautiful, very in line with the style of the Celestial Empire government, it was obviously a crushing victory after the defeat, but it could be said to be like an epic victory.
"There are members of the Wuyi Army, who are not chaotic in the face of danger, and if the command is determined, the dispatch is well-organized, which can be called stable. This big victory should be the first credit. Reward 50 catties of platinum, 500 taels of gold, give seven beam crowns, add a cage scarf and sable cicada, stand the pen four folds, and use gold for a cicada before and after. Give a jade belt and a jade pendant. Give a python robe! β
"In addition, after a series of wars, the erosion on both sides of the Songhua River, it must be rectified and quelled by a competent manpower, and the special company member is the general of the Songhua River! Temperate the south of the Songhua River, the west of the Asu River, and the north of the Liaobei General's jurisdiction of the nineteen guards, and the twenty-seven military forces! All civil and military officials in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of General Songhuajiang shall obey the order and shall not be disobeyed! β
"There is Chen Dakang, the commander of the Shenwu Right Guard, who is brave and good at fighting, not afraid of strong enemies, can be called powerful, rewarded with 20 catties of platinum, 50 taels of gold, given a unicorn suit, given a gold belt, given a medicine jade pendant, and given an ivory fluoree. The governor of Gatu is the same as the governor. β
"There are also thousands of guards of the government army, Zhang Zitao, Jinwu guard, Zhang Zitao, and Sun Ji, a thousand households of Yulin Zuowei, who are effective in battle, and each of them will be rewarded with ten catties of platinum, thirty taels of gold, and a flying fish suit. Plus the rank of commander. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"In addition, in order to guard against the Jurchen Hainu, the Wuyi army was stationed on the spot, and there was no need to return to Shandong. Give the establishment of the Ten Guards of the Wuyi Army to effectively resist the Jurchens, and do not live up to my hopes. β
After reading the holy decree, everyone shouted long live, and Lian Zining took the holy decree and got up separately.
After receiving the holy decree, everyone was smiling.
Needless to say, Lian Zining got the real power of General Songhuajiang, who was a real second-grade general, and from a little uncle with only a few thousand people under his hands, he became one of the few border generals and military ministers with real power in the country. Of course, what made Lian Zining's heart surging and excited was the establishment of the Wu Yi Army given by the imperial court - the establishment of ten guards, that is to say, the Wu Yi Army could be expanded to nearly 60,000 people.
For him, everything is false, the official title is false, and only the soldiers in his hands are real.
Since Lian Zining surrendered, the rest of the officers and officers have their own rewards, and it can be said that they have reaped a lot of benefits. It was expected that the court's troubled handling did not come, but instead came with benefits, which naturally made them smile one by one.
The father-in-law who passed the decree was holding his hands and laughing: "Uncle, there is still an edict from the emperor here, but if you say it, you will only be able to see it." ββ¦,
With that, he carefully pulled out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve.
This time, the person who came to deliver the decree was not Lian Zining's old acquaintance Xu Fugui and Xu Gonggong, but he had also met, it was Lin Xiongqi, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, who walked as his godfather, Lin Yuan.
"Oh?" Lian Zining raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Thank you Father-in-law Lin for that." β
He made a look, and Shi Dazhu on the side hurriedly handed over the red envelope, now this kind of work, there is no need for Lian Zining to do it himself. If he personally handed a red envelope to this Lin Yuan, it was not impossible, but he lowered his own value, and the person receiving the gift was also uncomfortable.
Lian Zining opened the yellow silk and watched it carefully: "Lian Zining, you have given me a lot of surprises!" That day, I just wanted to make you the general of Songhuajiang and let you have a reputation for defending the city, but I didn't expect you to beat all the Jurchen Tartars away. I summoned back the angels I sent out, yes, I am very relieved. However, I heard that it is not peaceful for you to be there now, and now the south of the Songhua River is your jurisdiction, and this place is under your control, and I will give you a death order, and before the high horse fat next autumn, I will give it to my wife who is peaceful. What kind of chaotic soldiers, horse thieves, Jurchen bandits, not one left, all of them were slaughtered! At that time, I will raise an army of 500,000 to crusade against the Jurchens! As long as you can keep this place for me, and if you keep it well, I will not spare the benefits. Chin this! β
In the oracle is the original words of Zhengde, and there is no artistic processing at all.
After reading this edict, Lian Zining became more and more relieved, there is no doubt that the reason why Zhengde said these words was because he heard about how erosive the south bank of the Songhua River is now, and said that it gave him courage. But he didn't know, even if he didn't need to say it, Lian Zining would try his best to do it - not for others, but because in this almost chaotic environment, it was the best opportunity to fish in troubled waters and continue to grow.
After reading this edict, Lian Zining was even more sure in his heart, there is no doubt that Emperor Zhengde is very important to himself, and at this time, the emperor, and even the central court, have an attitude towards himself that can even be described as dependent.
Jingwei is too far away from here, the surrounding border troops are too busy to take care of themselves, this piece of fertile land that has just been reclaimed is erosive, this is the scene that the center does not want to see, and now the only one who can save this crisis is himself! The area under the jurisdiction of General Songhuajiang is too important, with Duoyan Sanwei in the west, Jurchen in the north, and Goguryeo in the southeast, which is an out-and-out vital point. In this environment, as long as you don't go too far, the center will probably turn a blind eye.
Lian Zining carefully wrapped the yellow silk, took a deep breath, and a trace of brilliance flashed in his eyes, this is an excellent development opportunity for himself!
After receiving the red envelope, Lin Yuanlin's father-in-law smiled and said: "Uncle, you are really amazing now, the slaves and maids are about to go to Guangningwei, and I heard the news of your defeat of the Jurchen sea slaves, and on the second day, the Lord sent a fast horse to come and called the slaves and maids back." The Jinyi Guard spies in the Northeast also sent back the news, saying that your record is true and there is no trace of fraud. Hehe, the saint is so happy, feasting the ministers in the Fengtian Temple, that scene, the slave and maid haven't seen it for many years! β
"If you want to talk about your military exploits, it is our only one! Although everyone didn't say it in their hearts, they all knew that since Yongle Ye's five expeditions to Mobei, we have suffered a lot when we have fought with these evil neighbors in the north, and we have taken advantage of it. Hey, kill and injure more than 100,000 sea slaves, if you want to talk about military exploits, count from Grandpa Yongle onwards, you are the first in our Ming Dynasty! The slave and maid do not dare to criticize state affairs, but if the slave and maid see it, in this battle, the public will be crowned and worshipped! You don't know that now in the streets and alleys of Beijing, the word that is heard the most is Wu Yibo's words! ββ¦,
"When the slave maid came out, in the opera garden restaurant in the capital, there were already a lot of gentlemen who made up your story into an old play, hey, the slave maid took the time to listen to it, what Mr. Tang San of the Bacchus Building said, it was really a good word! Don't say it's from Beijing, but the people of the north, from the Yellow River to the Songhua River, but anyone with ears, except for the altars and jars, who doesn't know your reputation? The slave and maid have been all this way, but their ears are full. β
"But to tell the truth, this road is really not very peaceful, since the Zhubang city has not stopped, a moment of horse thieves, a moment of Jurchen Tartars, a moment of those defeated rebels, if it weren't for the slaves and maids around a lot of elite escorts, maybe let those who don't open their eyes be cleaned up."
He was talking like a tide here, but Lian Zining was uncomfortable listening to it, and said in his heart why is this Lin Gonggong's mouth so broken! I think it shouldn't be, the eunuchs in the palace are all cautious and subtle, and when they see people talking about people, they talk nonsense, and when they shouldn't speak, their mouths are absolutely tightly closed, where can they have such a big mouth?
This guy doesn't look like a eunuch, but like a long-tongued shrew.
Lian Zining was also silent, just talking to him with a smile on his face, anyway, he was not in a hurry.
After a long while, Lin Yuan could be regarded as saying his true intentions, he lowered his voice, pulled Lian Zining's sleeve and came to him and said: "Uncle, come out this time, godfather and his old man will ask you hello, and in the future, you and godfather can get acquainted with each other and move around more!" Godfather said, there are still some things to say in the future, and I have to rely on you, uncle! β
Lian Zining suddenly realized after listening.
He is no longer a small Wu Yibo, but a border general who is qualified to control hundreds of thousands of troops, plus Jian is in the emperor's heart, and is appreciated by the emperor, and his status is naturally very different from before, and now he has the qualifications to be co-opted by certain forces and certain people.
Lian Zining also knows something about the struggle in the inner court.
The status of Ma Yongcheng, the number one person in the inner court, is naturally unshakable, but Ma Yongcheng's father-in-law is old after all, and he can't say that he will drive the crane west one day. Therefore, the great eunuchs in the inner court, several of the imperial horse eunuchs, and several of the celebrant eunuchs in the inner court are secretly working hard to compete for the first position in the inner court.
Lin Xiongqi, the eunuch of Bingbi, is also one of the most powerful.
It seems that this Gonggong Lin has already begun to make a big splash.
Lian Zining thought about it, in the inner court, he already had the line of Liu Jixiang, the admiral of the imperial horse eunuch, but the imperial horse eunuch was still not central enough after all, and it would be even better if he could climb the line of Lin Xiongqi.
Lian Zining had a smile on his face: "What you said is out of sight, Old Man Lin is in a high position, and when he returns to Beijing in the future, he will definitely come to visit." β
Lin Yuan listened to his promise, and the smile on his face became even stronger, and he responded again and again.
"Come, Father-in-law Xiaolin, and please take a seat in the house, Lian has already ordered someone to rectify the banquet, Father-in-law Xiaolin is only afraid that he has not come outside the customs, but this time he wants to taste the flavor of our customs." Lian Zining said with a smile, stretched out his hand, and the two walked towards the City Lord's Mansion. The officers followed.
While walking, Lian Zining said casually: "Father-in-law Xiaolin, I don't know how Father-in-law Xu Fugui, who is the Imperial Horse Supervisor, how is it going?" β
Lin Yuan grinned: "Old Xu, I've been living comfortably lately!" The Imperial Horse Supervisor has recently changed his clothes, and all kinds of eliminated swords, guns, swords, and halberds are in his hands, how much does the ordnance of tens of thousands of troops cost? Lao Xu is now soft in making money, I heard that a few days ago he also bought a house outside and married a Qing man to be a child, this small life is good! I don't have the heart to bother with anything else! This time I came to pass the decree outside the gate, and the inner court originally wanted him to come, but I didn't expect to let Liu's husband push it, and this errand fell on the head of the slave. ββ¦,
Lian Zining listened, just smiled faintly and did not speak.
But I twisted it in my heart, what signal did Liu Jixiang release? Want to distance yourself from yourself? But why?
After thinking about it for a while, he didn't have any eyebrows, Lian Zining smiled casually, what do you care about him so much? If you can't figure it out, why bother thinking about it? Even if this line is broken, what if there is no other way? As for the money spent, let's feed it to the dogs!

On the night of August 25, the fifty-first year of Zhengde.
The main palace of the Acropolis, which has now been renamed Beppu of the Songhua River, is brightly lit, and a banquet has already been set up in the hall.
In the middle of the hall is a large pine table with a length of 20 meters and a width of more than 5 meters, which is very thick and huge, and the top is polished with pine oil and polished to a shiny tile. Lian Zining was on the first seat, on the right hand were Lin Yuan and the others and a few accompanying Jinyi Wei officers, and on the left hand were many officers of the Wu Yi Army who had been assigned to him - Chen Dakang, Xiong Tingbi and others.
Lian Zining's Wuyi army is very complete of all kinds of troops, cavalry, foot soldiers, musketeers, artillery, needless to say, Gonzalez's Ordnance Bureau, Wang Dachun's logistics department, are not ordinary troops can have, and Lian Zining's army also has an indispensable establishment - the head soldier, which was called the cooking class in later generations.
Wu Yijun's gang leader is about 500 people, and an average of two general flags can be even, they were all recruited by Lian Zining when he was in Shandong, and they dare not say that they are the best, but the things made are definitely large and oily, and the taste is thick and mellow, which makes people's faces shiny.
