Shanhaiguan, also known as Yuguan, Yuguan, Linlu Pass, is one of the northeast passes of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, known as "the first pass in the world", echoing with Jiayuguan thousands of miles away, famous all over the world.

It has been more than a month since Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Jiliao, moved the mountains and seas of the town, and the war in Guangning is over, so he can be relieved, and he doesn't have to worry about Jiannu knocking.

Within a few days, the imperial court issued a holy decree to return to Beijing with Wang Xiangqian stepping down from his post and waiting for Wu Yongqian to hand over at Shanhaiguan.

For this governor of Jiliao, Wang Xiangqian didn't want to do it.

Don't look at the Governor of Jiliao, he has a lot of power, but the responsibility is not trivial. In the war-torn frontier, many officials in the DPRK and China, including him, regard it as a daunting path.

After receiving the holy decree, Wang Xiangqian felt quite relieved, and waited for Wu Yong to take over, and he returned to Beijing with ease.

Today, Wu Yongxian rushed to Shanhaiguan with his servants, and Wang Xiangqian was surprised by the speed.

As for Wang Xiangqian, Zhu Youxiao is not optimistic. After the war in Quang Ninh, it was not easy for him to change his generals on the spot, so he could only settle for the time being.

After the end of the Guangning War, Zhu Youxiao consulted with Sun Chengzong and others to reorganize the armament of the north, including the replacement of Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Jiliao.

According to the "Daming Huidian", the full name of the Governor of Jiliao is the military affairs of Jiliao, Baoding and other places, and also manages food and salary. Temperate Shuntian, Baoding, Liaodong Sanfu, Jizhou, Changping, Liaodong, Baoding four towns.

It wasn't until Wu Yongxian came to hand over and took over the holy decree that Wang Xiangqian knew that the imperial court had carved out the governor of Liaodong and Liaodong Town, which was controlled by the governor of Jiliao.

In this regard, Wang Xiangqian was a little surprised, but Wu Yongxian did not think so.

Moreover, Wu Yongxian did not have any fear of difficulties, and he didn't know whether he was loyal to the state or pretending to be in front of Wang Xiangqian.

"Lord Wu has been at home for eight years due to illness, and he has just been called to be the squire of the Ministry of Works, and I heard that he will be promoted to Shaozai (Servant of the Ministry of Officials), but why was he reappointed as the governor of Jiliao?" Wang Xiangqian knocked on the side, wanting to inquire about the political trends of the Beijing Division.

Wu Yongxian smiled and said, "This is recommended by Lord Sun of the Ministry of War, or it may be seen that a certain person has a small merit when he is in Sichuan!" ”

Wu Yongxian is a little-known figure, but he also started from the grassroots level, and when he was governor of Sichuan, he quelled the rebellion of the chieftains of the Fan and Miao tribes, and was more familiar with military affairs among civilian officials.

Since Zhu Youxiao proposed the Jiliao sub-town, the court has discussed several times, and Wang Zaijin and Yan Mingtai have been launched respectively, but they were all vetoed by Zhu Youxiao.

Historically, although Wang Zaijin was a supporter of strategic retraction, it was not a far-reaching strategic vision, but he believed that "if you have Guangning, you can't defend it, and you will be punished, so it is better to defend the mountains and seas."

This is very different from Zhu Youxiao's God's perspective, and it is also very different from the real intention of strategic contraction. Shrinkage is not to fear the enemy, but to accumulate strength, reorganize the army, and prepare for a wave of peace.

Needless to say, Yan Mingtai has no talent, and when he sees the name, he annoys Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao is also very helpless, although Jane has promoted some talents and reorganized the cabinet, but young people need to be trained, and there are not many old people who can trust, and when they use it, they find that there are still few!

In particular, an important minister like the Governor of Jiliao cannot serve without a certain rank and qualifications.

The third court push is this Wu Yongxian, who has just recovered from illness and recalled, and was a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and has experience in governing the army and quelling chaos.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know him, and it was not easy to judge just by looking at his resume, so he adopted a new way. First send Wu Yong to Jiliao to take a walk around, and then make a final decision on how to govern the upper road.

And Wu Yongxian was also happy, and immediately took people out of Beijing, experienced Ji, Chang and Chang roads within ten days, and made suggestions on the performance.

“…… As the minister has seen, it is not only difficult to pass outside, but also difficult to pass inside. The three associations in the customs are based on the selection of generals and training, and the construction of walls and platforms is an urgent task; Decision-making is made on the mutual use of war and defense; The official ...... is to respect simplicity and abide by the covenant, cherish the army and love the people"

Regarding Wu Yongxian's recital, Zhu Youxiao had no surprises, nor was he too disappointed. It's decent, it's basically qualified!

As long as he can stabilize the northern defense line first, and buy some time for the new army to train and change its outfits and build muskets and artillery, it will be regarded as achieving Zhu Youxiao's goal.

Wang Xiangqian didn't say much when he saw Wu Yongxian, so he didn't ask further questions and handled the normal handover. Seeing that some of the staff members brought by Wu Yongxian were very young, he asked casually out of curiosity.

"Lord Wang doesn't know that these young talents are learning from their own officials."

Wu Yongxian called a few young people over with a smile and introduced them one by one: "Xinke Chuanlu Xiangsheng, Wuke Bangyan Peng Hua, Tanhua Zhang Jingping......"

Lu Xiangsheng and others bowed and said, "I've seen Lord Wang." ”

"No need to be polite." Wang Xiangqian nodded with a smile and said, "The future is terrible, the future is terrible!" They are all the pillars of the country chosen by the Holy Lord, but they must be diligent in the king's affairs and serve the court. ”

Young talents bow down to be taught, and turn to their own busyness.

Wang Xiangqian watched a few people leave, stroked his beard and said: "This imperial examination, the saint attaches great importance to it!" The elevation of Wuke is also unprecedented in this dynasty. ”

Wu Yongxian pondered for a moment and said, "That's true. will try to talk about the strategy, and the temple will try to ask questions, all of which are the test questions of the saint himself, and he also personally approved the temple test papers. ”

Wang Xiangqian was disappointed again, and the imperial court reported that he had seen it. Over the past month or so, the number of officials in Beijing who have been resigned, deposed, or imprisoned is truly staggering.

But Wu Yong didn't say much first, and didn't reveal more things at all, so he could only let Wang Xiangqian speculate and figure out the direction of the Jingshi by himself.

In fact, Wu Yongxian was also confused in his heart, and it was difficult to figure out how the imperial court would act in the future. But he is a serious man, and since he has been assigned work, he will do his best to do it well.

At the time of the handover, a soldier came to report that the vehicle carrying the head of the rebel general Sun Degong had been closed.

The door is full of slashing, and the head is passed on to the nine sides. This is Zhu Youxiao's handling of the rebel general Sun Degong, and it is also a deterrent to the Ming border army.

Wang Xiangqian and Wu Yong suspended the handover first, or Wang Xiangqian ordered first, and the people and horses of Shanhaiguan gathered to watch the fate of the rebel generals.

When the horse-drawn wooden frame car creaked into the school yard, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, a shocking, miserable, and gruesome picture was presented.

The heads that had been pickled in lime were packed in wooden cages and stacked on the car, showing a variety of terrible expressions before death, pale and full of life.

There is also a wooden plaque nailed to the wooden cage containing the head, on which is the relationship between the beheaded person and Sun Degong.

The white-haired is Sun Degong's mother, and the one who lost his demeanor is Sun Degong's daughter, as well as Sun Degong's son, wife and concubine.

On the back cars were the heads of the rebels who followed Sun Degong's rebellion, with officers and soldiers, showing ugly and terrifying appearances.
