After hearing this, Ziren was at a loss for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info himself had studied the border gates in the early years, and the Zu family was after the Jin Dynasty Zhenxi General Zu Ti. The ancestors and concubines were all killed, and the only concubine, Zu Daozhong, fled to Chuyang. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Taizu raised troops in Chuyang, and Zu Shirong, the tenth grandson of Zu Ti, joined the army and served as Taizu's personal guard. In the early years of Hongwu, the ancestral family once followed the general Xu Da to the north to Yongping Mansion. After that, the ancestral family followed He Shilong to conquer Liaodong and accumulated merit to serve as one hundred households in Liaoyang.

The ancestral family has been in Liaodong for nearly two hundred years, with deep roots and a lot of their own ways, so he hurriedly asked: "Lord Zu, here is the new chief flag officer of the Liaodong Firearms Battalion, Ding Shouming. When I was in Jiangnan, I heard that my ancestor was after the famous general of my Han nationality. The adult's father, Zu Ren, was strict in governing the army, and made many military exploits, and served as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong during the Chenghua period. The adult and his younger brother Zu Chengjiao are also famous generals in Liaodong, and the adults are even more noble as the heads of the five tiger generals under the command of Li Chengliang (five of Li Chengliang's generals are now serving as deputy commanders in Liaodong, and the other four are "Li Pinghu", "Qin Deyi", "Sun Shoulian" and "Li Yousheng"). The villain is now new to Liaodong, and he is not familiar with the place, so he asks the adults for more advice. ”

Zu Chengxun originally wanted to remind Ziren. Seeing that he knew his ancestors quite well, he secretly felt that this person was not simple, and he no longer concealed it. Said bluntly: "This woman is the youngest daughter of Master Li Chengcai, this girl is spicy, known as the tenth tiger of the Li family, but she is just a tigress." You and I have teamed up to design it today, and I am in a high position and want to come here, and I dare not embarrass me. However, when Gongzi first arrived in Liaodong, he should be careful of his future revenge when he serves in the army. After speaking, he shook his head again and again.

Ziren was originally quite dissatisfied with Li Ruliu, but when he heard Zu Chengxun say this, he politely asked: "The adult is reasonable, and the villain will be careful." But a little woman, although she is stubborn by nature. But I am a dignified man, and I have never been afraid to fight against the Mongols on the battlefield, so what can this woman do to me? ”

Zu Chengxun saw that Ziren was a little disapproving, and for the sake of his previous praise of himself, he persuaded him with kind words:

"Young man, it's better to be careful, this woman has long been famous in Liaodong. During the Spring Festival when he was eight years old, all the sons of the Li family gathered at the ancestral house of the Li family in Tieling. I don't know what the so-called is that his brother "Li Runan" had a dispute with Li Chengliang and Li Dashuai's sons, and this woman saw that the other party was overwhelmed, and she was afraid that her brother would suffer. actually released the domesticated wolf dog at home, and chased Li Dashuai's five sons to escape all over the house. Fortunately, the elders in the family were all there at that time, and they stopped it in time to avoid a catastrophe. Since I and the generals of Liaodong were all in the Li Mansion that day to pay New Year's greetings, I saw this with my own eyes.

After Li Ruliu, he became famous in Liaodong, and no one among the generals dared to marry him. This year, this daughter is 14 years old, and her father saw that she had not yet found her in-law's family, so he was ready to choose one of the Liaodong Wuju people this year as a fast son-in-law of Chenglong. It can be said that he once wanted to be Ruliu to get the news, and actually set fire to the martial arts examination room, and for a while, the people of Liaodong talked about the change of willow. After that, Ruliu was grounded by his father, and he didn't take advantage of his father's trip a few days ago, and secretly ran out again, saying that he was going to go into battle to kill Mengnu. This woman is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and the son needs to be careful. ”

After hearing this, Ziren pretended to be calm for a while, and secretly felt that this matter was not good. It seems that Li Ruliu is by no means a thing in the pool, and his behavior is quite absurd. In the future, he will definitely be troubled by his work in Liaodong, and he secretly thinks about how to deal with it. After thanking Zu Chengxun for his reminder, he hurriedly left the deputy commander-in-chief's mansion with his subordinates.

After that, Ziren first went to the capital to command the envoy to report. Ziren generously commanded the division to be in place, and Ziren had the recommendation of the Duke of Wei, and the officials in the command department did not make it difficult. At this time, the Spring Festival was approaching, and Ziren was allowed to go to the firearms battalion to take up his post after the New Year.

At this time, Youcai and others had not yet arrived in Liaoyang, and they had been traveling for a few days, and they had a war with Mengnu, which was quite tiring, and Ziren could just have a good life and recuperate. At the same time, I left Jiangnan for many days, and took this opportunity to write a letter to my family to report my safety.

In the next few days, Ziren waited for a few wealthy people, and took out the topographic map of Liaodong given by the Duke of Wei before leaving. This map is Xu Weizhi from the Nanjing Military Department entrusted people to rubbing, is the army in the place names and dangerous places are marked, Ziren after a study can not help but feel that the danger of Liaodong is the top nine sides:

"Liaodong Town is out of the Liaohe Plain, and most of the places under its jurisdiction are not dangerous to defend, so the side walls are widely built. The side wall of Liaodong is formed into several characters, starting from Phoenix City (now Fengcheng County) in the east, reaching Shanhaiguan in the west, and is 1,950 miles long. Its direction is as follows: from the west bank of the Yalu River east of present-day Fengcheng to the north, through Kuandian Liubao, then to the northeast, bypassing the north of Kaiyuan County, and then extending to the southwest, passing through Tieling and the Liao River, from the east of Tai'an County to the northwest, bypassing the north of Beizhen County, turning to the southwest again, passing through the west of Yixian, Jinzhou, and Suizhong counties, and arriving at Shanhaiguan.

Liaodong Town has established various garrison cities according to the defense system. Liaoyang and Guangning were respectively the locations of the Liaodong Metropolitan Command and Sub-Division, so two defensive towns were established. Under the command of the envoys, there are five routes of troops in the east, west, south, north and center. In fact, there are only three road cities, namely the Qiantun Acropolis on the South Road, the Yiju Acropolis on the West Road, and the Kaiyuan Acropolis on the North Road, etc., and the other road cities are together with the town city. There are twenty-five guards under the road, which belong to each road. In addition, nine defensive acropolis were separately established. There were one hundred and twenty-seven guards, and there were one hundred and six forts under them. Jointly defend the thousand-mile defense line of the Great Wall of Liaodong, and build 12 other cities. Among them, the six forts of Kuandian were built by Li Chengliang in the first year of Wanli, approaching the Jurchen base and firmly guarding the throat of the Jurchen in Zujianzhou, but unfortunately in the 34th year of Wanli, Li Chengliang was lonely and difficult to defend, and the governor Jian Da and the governor Zhao Ji suggested abandoning it.

Liaodong Town faces the Jiaodong Peninsula across the sea in the south, the Haixi Jurchen and the Jianzhou Jurchen in the northeast and due east, and the North Korea in the southeast. Both the north and west sides were the territories of the Mongol tribes, and only the southwest side was connected to Shanhaiguan through the Liaoxi Corridor, which can be described as surrounded by strong enemies. When the Daning Command Division was there, there was still someone to rely on in the north. It's a pity that after the martyrdom of Chengzu, in order to comfort the support of Duoyan Sanwei, the Daning Dusi was moved to the south of the Great Wall. At this point, the town of Liaodong was completely surrounded by the Mongols and Jurchen tribes. ”

In the past few days, Youcai, Ding Bi and others have also rushed to converge, and Ziren is quite happy to see that most of everyone's injuries are unhindered. At this time, Li Runan also rushed to Liaoyang, and prepared a banquet to thank Zu Chengxun and Ziren for helping him find his little sister. Ziren felt that he was going to see Li Ruliu again, and he was quite big for a while.
