Jiliao Governor's Mansion, very magnificent, this mansion, built not for a long time, less than 20 years, in fact, the entire Ningyuan City, that is, the second year of the Apocalypse began to build, specifically responsible for the construction of Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou, who asked to build the city in Ningyuan, it is the current cabinet of the first assistant Sun Chengzong. It was an unusually wise decision.

The Governor's Mansion covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters, close to 20 acres of land, and is the most conspicuous building in the small Ningyuan City.

However, although the Governor's Mansion is magnificent, but in the eyes of the officials and the common people, it is not so majestic, the first Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan stationed here, was killed by the imperial court, and the crime is rebellion, Yuan Chonghuan himself was beheaded, and his family was also implicated, since Yuan Chonghuan was killed, this place has been empty, and the later Liaodong Economic Strategy will not be stationed in the Governor's Mansion, so as not to trespass and be impeached.

This also reflects from a certain aspect, that serving as an official in Liaodong is by no means a good thing.

Although Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying were very famous, when they came to Liaodong, it was impossible to fundamentally change this imagination, let alone change the understanding of officials and ordinary people.

Chongzhen four years of the battle of the Ling River, the Ming army was defeated, the Ming army stationed in the Daling River was annihilated, from that time, Liaodong has become a place that everyone fears, since the war between the Houjin and the Ming Dynasty, in just more than 20 years, this place in Liaodong, has killed fifteen chief officers, and the sergeants who have been destroyed and surrendered are countless, the Ming Dynasty is completely in the gesture in Liaodong, if it were not for the Guanning Jin defense line, the Houjin may have already hit the capital.

Su Tiancheng went to Jiliao Governor's Mansion on the tenth day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Su Tiancheng set off, and he had been in the capital for so long. It was also time for him to take office in Ningyuan.

Yuan Chonghuan built the Jiliao Governor's Mansion in Ningyuan, Ningyuan lived in the center of the Guanningjin defense line, the front could command Jinzhou City at the forefront, and the back could coordinate Shanhaiguan to form a solid defense line to surround the Beijing Division.

But the line of defense is dead. People are alive, although this line of defense is unbreakable, but the Ming army can only stick to the city, the vast land outside the city, is the place where the Houjin Tartars move freely, if the Houjin Tartars are bold enough, they can bypass the Guanningjin defense line and harass around the Beijing Division for a while, it is very clear. This was possible in the past, and no Ming army dared to face it head-on, and I am afraid that it would not dare to do a sneak attack from behind.

The Jiliao Governor's Mansion is not a fixed place, Su Tiancheng has jurisdiction over many places, covering many places in Beizhili, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong and Liaodong, but Yuan Chonghuan was full of confidence when he took office, and built the Jiliao Governor's Mansion in Ningyuan City. This is the front line, and of course Su Tiancheng will not show weakness.

Su Tiancheng also thinks. If the Jiliao Governor's Mansion is built after Shanhaiguan, or closer to the capital, it is a joke, people resist in the front, you command remotely in the back, and you are at a disadvantage before the war starts. It is important to know that in a war in which the road relies on cold weapons, it is very important to command from the front, to be able to directly observe the rapid changes on the battlefield and make decisions in Linji.

The Houjin assassins in the capital handled it very smoothly. The sergeants who have been fighting for a long time must be fundamentally different from ordinary dramas, and the 1,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers who participated in the investigation are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they can be seen at a glance, so in the next investigation, the Jiangning battalion soldiers have played a huge role, and there are constantly Houjin assassins being found out, and even the emperor is satisfied with the results.

Everything is stable in the capital, according to the plan, the emperor and the people are happy, appeared on the temple fair, after the people saw it, Hulala knelt on the ground, even the drama on the stage, also knelt down, of course, Zhu Youzhen is surrounded by a lot of people, Jinyiwei and Jiangning Battalion soldiers are the most important protective force, not a fly to fly to Zhu Youzhen's side.

However, no one dares to guarantee that there are no Houjin assassins in the capital, or spies, in view of this situation, Su Tiancheng left two hundred personal soldiers to guard the mansion, you must know that Lu Dao's own family is full of women and children, and those previous nursing homes have many flowers, and their abilities are really not very good.

When Su Tiancheng left, he didn't notify anyone, and left the capital on the road with eight hundred pro-soldiers, and all the pro-soldiers, after leaving the capital, all accelerated their pace and moved forward quickly, and Su Tiancheng was no exception.

The desolate situation along the way stung Su Tiancheng's heart.

Although it is said that the Liukou was exterminated, but in the area of Liaodong, the common people are still afraid of the Houjin Tartars, without the protection of the city, the common people are powerless to protect themselves, they can only resign themselves to fate, the Houjin Tartars have entered the customs several times, and the attack on the Guanning Jin defense line, the most suffering are the common people, the losses are heavy, for a long time, the people who have no security can only choose to flee.

After entering Shanhaiguan, along the way, Su Tiancheng barely saw many ordinary people, some dilapidated villages and towns along the road, and the black stains on the houses told people that they had been killed here. The people who occasionally met Lu saw it were also trembling, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, their bodies were about to tremble, and even some people squatted down at that time, looking like they were being slaughtered.

This is the greatest irony of the Ming army.

The army is unable to protect the people, a large number of places in eastern Liaodong are barren, and the people do not dare to engage in agricultural production.

Su Tiancheng did not enter Shanhaiguan, he made a detour, he wanted to see how the army of Huang Taiji personally commanded back then bypassed the Guanningjin defense line and drove straight in.

What made Su Tiancheng feel angry was that there were many military forts along the road, and the sergeants inside saw the galloping procession, and they didn't react, probably the military uniforms worn by Su Tiancheng and others, which belonged to the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty sergeants.

Approaching Ningyuan, the situation is much better, and there are more people on the road, because it is during the Spring Festival, the faces of the common people are smiling, and they seem to be more relaxed, Su Tiancheng knows that this is because the Jiangning camp is stationed in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and the common people know the name of the Jiangning camp, and they feel that there is a Jiangning camp here to protect them, and the Houjin Tartars dare not easily harass them.

Wang Dazhi found a few people, and Su Tiancheng briefly inquired about the situation.

It turned out that the Ningyuan area, before it was not peaceful, that is, after nine years of Chongzhen, the Houjin Tartars suffered a fiasco when they entered the customs, but they did not forget the harassment in the Guanning Jin area, the Tartars would not attack the city, but they were unceremonious to the people outside the city, and the most lacking in Houjin was the population, they went to Jinzhou and Ningyuan from time to time to rob the population, but these small things, no one reported them, or after the report, they would not attract anyone's attention, so everyone was surprised, and the Liaodong area was very peaceful.

The suffering of the common people has always been rarely paid attention to.

This situation has been greatly improved after the Jiangning battalion was stationed in Jinzhou and Ningyuan.

Hong Chengchou led the Jiangning battalion soldiers into Liaodong, stationed in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, the nearby Houjin Tartars did not care, and still carried out a small-scale sneak attack, as a result, this time the encounter was ironclad, Hong Chengchou personally led the Jiangning battalion soldiers, launched several ambushes, killed hundreds of Houjin Tartars, and the Houjin Emperor Taiji personally ordered that there was no military order, and it was not allowed to attack the Daming Guanningjin area.

The people nearby felt deeply, and some even saw the Jiangning battalion soldiers kill the Houjin Tartar with their own eyes, that kind of momentum they had never seen before, and the Houjin Tartar couldn't resist, scattered and fled, and finally all of them were killed.

More feel safe is the military tun households, the border army of the Guanning Jin defense line, most of them are military households, with their families guarding the border pass, relying on farming to maintain their lives, the imperial court does not have enough silver to feed the border army, so the military tun is very common here, along the road in the military fort, there are sergeants, as well as the sergeant's family.

Since October of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Jinzhou and Ningyuan have begun to be truly peaceful.

Houjin stopped the attack, retreated to the area of the Daling River, it is embarrassing, the Dalinghe City was proposed by Sun Chengzong to build, in the process of construction, Huang Taiji found that the Dalinghe City has a huge threat to the Houjin, personally led the army to attack the Dalinghe City, the Dalinghe City under construction, was not completed, the Battle of the Dalinghe broke out.

Now, this Dalinghe City, completely controlled by the Houjin, has become a solid stronghold, the Houjin rely on the Dalinghe City, often pose a threat to the Guanningjin defense line, so that tens of thousands of Ming troops cowered in the city, not daring to move.

Time passed slowly, the common people began to believe in the Jiangning battalion, they found that the Jiangning battalion is indeed different, not guarding in the city, every day to leave the city, in a good distance from the city to train, every day there are soldiers to form a patrol, patrol in the periphery, once the enemy is found, will be reported as soon as possible, the army comes to encircle and suppress.

Peace and tranquility are the most precious things in the area of the Guanning Jin defense line.

The common people have lacked these things for so long that they feel unreal.

Su Tiancheng, who asked about the situation clearly, shook his head again and again, it seems that his task is really heavy.

Yuan Chonghuan once boasted of Haikou, five years to pacify Liaodong, he didn't dare to say such a big thing, the so-called pacification of Liaodong, which means to destroy the regime of Houjin, completely surrender Huang Taiji, and even capture Huang Taiji, hundreds of thousands of troops in Houjin, brave and good at fighting, where can be wiped out casually, such a thing, must not be in a hurry, can only be taken slowly, multi-pronged, step by step to weaken the strength of Houjin, when the opportunity is ripe, really start a decisive battle with Houjin.
