Chapter 30 No regrets in life so far
Uiju and Chungju are both place names of Goryeo.
It may seem like a common name, but it actually has a profound meaning. On the one hand, this was used to inform the world that Ming Dynasty had annexed Goryeo. I am determined not to let him out. In fact, among Confucians, there are some people who secretly feel that the Ming Dynasty should survive. Goryeo has been inherited for five hundred years. It would be too ugly to destroy the country.
Of course, these people would not dare to say it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
On the other hand, it is specially given to Ha Ci Buhua, implying a word of loyalty.
Ha Ci did not bother to understand, and when He Xi was evacuating Korea, he arrived under the blue jade tent. A general who became a member of Lan Yu's command. The five troops under Mu Huali's command were probably the only ones who migrated from Liaodong to the south of the Han River.
Ye Wang is gone.
The position of commander of the Liaodong capital was vacant.
As mentioned earlier, there are no prefectures or counties in Liaodong, all of them are health centers. Considered an officer. Local men in Liaodong are either military households or candidates. In a place like this, as long as He Xi mastered the military system, it would be very convenient for him to command every man.
But here comes the problem.
The Liaodong Capital Commander was in charge of all the guard posts in Liaodong. It is the military and political department of Liaodong. If this position falls into the hands of someone who doesn't deal with He Xi, it will be troublesome for He Xi.
He Xi estimated that this was the one thing that Ye Wang couldn't let go of before he died.
He Xi immediately made the decision to put down everything in Niuzhuang. Go to Shenyang to see Ye Wang for the last time.
------
He Xi had cleaned up the Liaohe River channel before. Although water transportation was convenient, it only took two days to reach Shenyang. Arrive directly at Ye Mansion.
Before, Ye Wang lived in the capital commander's office. After He Xi came, the Liaodong capital commander's office became the headquarters of the Liaodong governor. Ye Wang then chose another place and rebuilt the Liaodong Capital Commander's Yamen.
Of course. There is not much else outside the customs, but there are many places.
This new Yamen is also very big.
When He Xi came to the back hall, Ye Chen and his brothers and sisters were waiting around. From the looks of it, Ye Wang didn't have much time left.
Ye Chen said with red eyes: "My lord. Father, he------" At this point, Ye Chen's voice was a little choked and he said, "Father is waiting for you, please go in quickly."
He Xi sighed and said nothing. He opened the door curtain and went in.
It seemed that because of Ye Wang's illness, it was already spring and the room was sealed tightly. It seemed that the kang was burning again, and as soon as I entered, I felt a steam of steam. I don't know if it was because He Xi walked over quickly, but there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
He Xi came to Ye Wang's bed and saw that Ye Wang seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping. He seemed to be asleep, but if he looked closely, he saw that his eyes were actually open a slit. The mouth was not closed tightly, and it was as if he was blowing air on purpose when he breathed. This is actually a drop in blood oxygen concentration. In future generations, we will already have oxygen.
Now, there is no other way but to endure.
He Xi sat next to Ye Wang and called softly: "Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye."
Ye Wang's eyes suddenly moved, and his expression suddenly became bright. He held He Xi with trembling hands. Just weak. Even the muscles and bones in his hands collapsed. But He Xi could only feel a little strength. He tried hard to say: "Commander of the capital, Liaodong, commander of the capital -----"
After saying these words, Ye Wang's hand relaxed instantly. Falling slowly.
He Xi understood immediately. Said: "Are you talking about the position of the commander of the Liaodong capital? But does anyone want to recommend it?"
"No, don't, don't recommend, never, never." Ye Wang gasped, as if he could say two or three words at a time. Said: "Liaodong is one, suspect, your majesty will take care of you, nothing will happen to you, otherwise, otherwise ------"
He Xi felt excited.
He immediately understood what Ye Wang meant. Ye Wang's meaning is very simple. The position of commander of the Liaodong capital must be decided by His Majesty, rather than recommended by them. Because in Ye Wang's view, Liaodong is now one, monolithic. This is against court rules.
Before that, Liaodong was just a corner of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what, no one cares. But not anymore. Liaodong supported the Japanese battlefield in Goryeo. Although it is mainly shipped by sea. However, shipping in this era mostly sailed along the coastline. Many ships would first arrive at Lushunkou and then turn east.
This is safer.
The status is different from before. Be aware of this.
After all, His Majesty still favors him. And His Majesty also supports what is done here. In this way, the candidates sent by His Majesty will definitely not ruin He Xi's plan. But it is certainly feasible for them to recommend candidates. Even His Majesty will be right.
But the emperor is a creature that should never be trusted easily. It is commonplace to settle accounts after autumn.
You must not do this kind of suspicious thing.
It is true that if there is an elder in a family, there is a treasure. Perhaps Yao Guangxiao would remind him of this idea. But Ye Wang could think so clearly at this time. It can be considered valuable.
"I understand. I understand." He Xi whispered: "Do you have anything else to say? Is there anything you want me to arrange?"
Ye Wang shook his head and said: "Liaodong, set up a county, Niuzhuang, Shenyang."
He Xi lowered his head and thought for a moment. I understand what Ye Wang means. The new capital commander will certainly not hinder He Xi, but people are far apart and many things cannot be entrusted to him. Therefore, there must be a backup plan. That is to establish counties in Liaodong.
After the county was established, it was rightfully put under the control of the governor He Xi.
Moreover, Liaodong already has the conditions to set up prefectures and counties.
In fact, just after Liaodong was captured, prefectures and counties were also established. But it was quickly removed. Because the population is too small. There were also frequent Tatar invasions. Insufficient troops and so on. It was only then that most of the people in Liaodong were organized into guards. Support operations.
Now there are so many Korean people. County can be established.
There are currently two systems in Liaodong, one is the health system, and the other is the farm and mine system. Needless to say about the former. The latter started in a lumber camp. After putting the series of factories and mines under the name of the Ministry of Industry, Huang Zicheng still has the official position of director of the Ministry of Industry.
It can be regarded as a foreign official dispatched from the capital.
In the case of Goryeo's immigration to farmland, both systems were involved.
Without him, there would be too many Koreans. It is larger than the indigenous population of Liaodong. Resettling the Koreans is not a top priority. No system can handle it alone.
Now I think about it, if a state and county system is set up, these things can be taken care of. He Xi also felt that the situation was much clearer. It also prevents the military from expanding its influence.
Although He Xi has interests in connection with the nobles. But He Xi still admires civilian politics. Nothing else. The lessons of the Five Dynasties Rebellion were too profound. Even in later generations, military power must be subordinated to national interests. Whenever warlords come to power, it will be chaotic.
Therefore, the more Liaodong develops, the better. He Xi will not let this place be completely controlled by the army.
Because of the checks and balances in the state and county system. Also a nice adjustment.
And if He Xi thought more deeply, perhaps the establishment of a province in Liaodong could be put on the agenda.
He Xi said: "I understand."
Ye Wang spent a lot of energy, trying hard to breathe and unable to speak.
He Xi leaned down and said, "Mr. Ye, is there anything you can't let go of? For example, Ye Chen-----"
Ye Wang said: "Ye Chen, it's okay to fight. Follow me, sir. I, I, don't worry. I will have no regrets in this life."
For a moment, Ye Wang seemed to have thought that in troubled times, he joined the Spear Army by chance and followed General Xie. In troubled times, we are the Yuan army today and the rebel army tomorrow. Backstage, he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet crossed the river, and the spear army was the mountain top under Zhu Yuanzhang's command. General Xie is very majestic. He is married to Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew and Xu Da, and everyone is invincible and prosperous. Don't know why. Lao Zhu will accept the general's military power. General Xie went to Zhang Shicheng without even saying hello. Leave them here.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also upright and sent someone to inform them that they were willing to follow General Xie. You can go directly.
But Ye Wang discussed with his old brother and knew what kind of person Lao Zhu was. If you really dare to lead the team, today next year will be your death anniversary. Go obediently to visit him alone to show your loyalty. That night he was promoted to a higher rank. The people of the Xie family were swallowed up by a few old brothers. It means that General Xie comes back. It probably won't be able to be pulled anymore.
