Why is the land of Liaodong called Liao?
In 907 AD, the Khitan people, who originated from Liao River, established their country here. The country was named Khitan, and their Taizu Yelu Abaoji was the founder.
Thirty years later, the country's name was changed to Daliao and its capital was established in Beijing.
Daliao has been strong for a long time and has a vast territory. It borders the North Sea and the Bohai Sea in the east, the Altai Mountains in the west, the Kherulun River, the Erkun River and other river basins in the north, and Shanxi and the Baigou River in Hebei to the south. BIquGe.biz
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were dedicated to the Liao Kingdom by Shi Jingtang, the governor of Hebei Province in the Tang Dynasty.
The Sixteenth State of Yanyun is the barrier of the Central Plains Dynasty. With the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, the country in the Central Plains has the strength to compete with the nomads. The terrain is condescending, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It was not until Emperor Hongwu restored the Han people that he took back this homeland that had been lost for more than 400 years.
Daliao was powerful for a while.
But if a nation on horseback steps off the horse, it will be replaced by another nation.
A hundred years later, Wanyan Aguda led 30,000 cavalry in the Liao Kingdom to establish the Jin Kingdom. Then he swept across the Liao Kingdom and destroyed the Liao Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, the Jurchens were less than 10,000 and the Jurchens were less than 10,000. The saying of invincibility emerged.
Their fighting power frightened their enemies, and Mongolia, the Southern Song Dynasty, Xixia, and the countries bordering them were all oppressed.
Likewise, it is also a new reincarnation.
The Jurchens on horseback met another favored man of heaven, Genghis Khan, less than a hundred years after jumping off the horse.
The descendants of Wanyan Aguda were beaten again, and the Jin Kingdom was destroyed. The Jurchens have not recovered yet.
In the real history, Huang Taiji sent troops to Mongolia, regained the glory of the Jurchens, and slaughtered Genghis Khan's golden family that had existed for more than 400 years.
At that time, it was another reincarnation.
But at this time, Liaodong no longer belonged to the Khitans, Mongols, and Jurchens, but to the Han people.
The Ming Dynasty occupied Liaodong in the 10th year of Hongwu. At first, there were only 200,000 Han people. Before that, they were all dependent on the Mongols and were inferior to others.
After the Ming army came, they became the new owners of this land.
After Zhu Di made the capital the capital, the number of Han people in Liaodong increased sharply. From 200,000 in the 10th year of Hongwu, it exceeded 600,000 in the Yongle period. By the first year of Chenghua, the registered population had already There are two million people.
Although the population is increasing and more cities are being built, the instability in Liaodong still brings a lot of harm to the people of Ming Dynasty.
The Mongols harassing the border and the Jurchens within the territory.
In the autumn of the fifth year of Chenghua, a murder occurred more than 30 miles outside Guangning City. The village was robbed by the Jurchen savages. More than 60 people in the village were slaughtered, and all food and utensils were robbed.
When Li Chun, the governor of Liaodong at the time, learned of the incident, his first thought was to conceal the incident.
Otherwise, if word spreads among the people who were killed, there will be no way for him to survive.
Liaodong was sparsely populated and information was blocked. Except for Guangning Mansion, few people knew about the murder. The censor sent by the court to investigate and investigate was also confused by Li Chun and failed to investigate the matter. the truth.
Guangning, governor's office.
Li Chun led General Guangning and more than thirty officials to wait at the governor's office.
An incense table is arranged in front of the hall.
Officials lined up to wait.
After a while, Sun Xiang, the deputy capital censor who came from the capital, came to the crowd with the imperial edict in his hands and was escorted by several soldiers.
"Li Chun, governor of Liaodong, and Kou Shou, the commander-in-chief of Guangning, received the order."
Li Chun led many officials to kneel down to welcome the decree.
"The Emperor is entrusted by heaven to issue an edict saying that the barbarian Jurchens are killing the people of the Ming Dynasty. I am heartbroken when I hear it. I hereby order Li Chun, the governor of Liaodong, to eradicate all the evil and set an example to others. If he fails to achieve the holy will and delays the matter, Li Chun will be dismissed from his post. Investigate and investigate, go to Beijing to question the crime, I admire this."
After hearing this, Li Chun's expression changed slightly. This was not a good job.
"Governor Li, take the edict." At Sun Xiang's prompting, Li Chuncai stood up, took the edict with both hands, and then asked: "Sundu Censor, did your Majesty send it personally?"
Li Chun's implication was, does the Queen Mother, Yu Qian, and Li Xian know about this imperial edict? If not, he can block it by saying that His Majesty has not yet taken charge.
In fact, what the young emperor Zhu Jianshen said in the court, the censor in Beijing had already written to him, but Li Chun thought that his majesty was still young and would use weapons and weapons. The cabinet would definitely not agree to such a severe measure. Now after listening Imperial decree, the luck in his heart was gone.
Is it really true that you are allowed to kill so many people, but you are familiar with the words of sages and sages. It is okay to ask me to write a memorandum and handle political affairs. If you ask me to deploy encirclement and suppression, I will not do it.
Sun Xiang glanced at Li Chun and knew what he was thinking, and then said: "The imperial edict was inspired by the Chief of Ceremonies, and after being investigated by the cabinet, it was handed over to me."
The implication is to tell Li Chun that there is no need to have any illusions and make arrangements early.
Li Chun nodded when he heard the words, and then his face instantly returned to normal and said: "Sundu Censor, traveling thousands of miles is really hard work. I will prepare a small portion of wine in the hope that Sundu Censor will appreciate you."
"It's not necessary today. I still have unfinished mission. In the days to come, I will bother Governor Li and all the adults a lot." Sun Xiang said with a smile on his face.
After listening to this, Li Chun was very upset.
"What's the matter, Sundu Yushi, won't you return to Beijing to reply?" Li Chun asked calmly, it's bitter cold here, why is he wandering around in this black land, go back quickly.
"As I said just now, I still have some unfinished business and I can't return to the capital until I finish it."
"What kind of decree, what kind of official business? I am the governor, patrolling on behalf of the emperor, but I have never seen any official documents from the cabinet?" Li Chun said softly.
The thing he concealed was a deployment made a month ago. Now it's a month later, and the deployment has long been gone. If Sun Xiang went to the place where the crime occurred to ask, his lie would be self-defeating.
The concealment of this matter was what he urged the people below to do. Once something happened, everyone else would rush to throw all the responsibilities on himself. By then, he would really be able to take office in glory, take the family with him, and sit down. He returned to Beijing in a prison car and resumed his post.
Sun Xiang smiled lightly and said: "The order I received is a secret order, but Governor Li doesn't have to worry. When His Majesty said it, Yu Taibao, Li Fuchen and several other adults were there and asked me to receive the order and handle the matter."
After hearing this, Li Chun laughed and said: "To share your Majesty's worries, I must offer a toast to Sundu Censor. Colleagues, what do you think?" As he said that, Li Chun grabbed Sun Xiang's arm and said, It seems that if Sun Xiang doesn't drink this glass of wine today, he won't be allowed to leave.
The officials also started to boo and gathered around.
Sun Xiang smiled faintly, and then said: "Oh, it's hard to refuse such kindness, but I don't drink well, so I hope you will be merciful."
Li Chun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Sun Xiang agreed to have a drink here, and then welcomed Sun Xiang into the banquet that had been prepared in advance.
While talking about eating, Li Chun gave instructions to one of his officials and asked him to go down quickly and make preparations.
Sun Xiang saw the official turning around and leaving, but did not stop him and just drank by himself.
Wine is liked by warriors, scholars, and common people.
There are flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and names on the gold medal list. How can we skip the wine when the spring breeze is triumphant?
How can we drink less when we are separated from life and death, when we have hit rock bottom, and when we are depressed and frustrated.
Even the sages and saints like to drink. There is an old saying: "Yao and Shun drank a thousand bells, Confucius drank a hundred glasses, Zilu drank ten glasses of wine."
Does Sun Xiang really look like a saint, but he is addicted to alcohol?
of course not.
He comes with responsibility.
Before he received the decree, he entered the Qianqing Palace and met His Majesty.
That was Sun Xiang's first time entering Qianqing Palace.
Just after Yu Qian introduced Sun Xiang, he heard Zhu Jianshen say: "It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and a blessing for me that a civil servant has the courage to do justice generously."
"Your Majesty's words are serious about the duties of a minor minister." Sun Xiang hurriedly bowed and replied, but he always felt strange in his heart.
The young emperor was smart and kind, and everyone in the court knew it, but Sun Xiang had never had such close contact with him. Talking to him was like talking to an emperor who had been on the throne for a long time.
Zhu Jianshen just smiled, and then said to Zhang Bao beside him: "Give me a seat for the censor of Sundu."
After Zhang Bao responded, he personally moved the chair and placed it next to Li Xian.
Above the court, Yu Qian was surrounded by almost all people who stood out in the defense of Beijing.
Even Shi Heng was obediently surrounding Yu Qian, because the old nobles had not been destroyed, and coupled with the defeat of Yanghe, it was difficult for Shi Heng to integrate into the noble system. He had no choice but to Choosing Yu Qian, otherwise he would not be able to gain a foothold in the court at all. At this time, Yu Qian also believed in Shi Heng. Regarding the Liaodong matter, he first asked Shi Heng for his opinion and then went to Duke Cheng Guo.
Only eight people entered Qianqing Palace this time.
Sun Xiang, the deputy censor of the capital.
Wang Wen, the Minister of War, has been recommended by the court and will soon succeed Yu Qian as the new Minister of War.
Xu Youzhen, a bachelor of Dongge University and censor of Youdu.
Marquis of Wuyang, Shi Heng, the right governor of the former military governor's mansion.
Taininghou, Chen Ying, the right commander of the Chinese Army Commandery Mansion.
Cheng Guogong, Zhu Shou, the left governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion.
Li Xian, a bachelor of Wenyuange and an assistant cabinet minister.
Yu Qian, the bachelor of Wenhua Palace, the Taibao of the Three Lords, and the chief minister of the cabinet.
The eight people entered Qianqing Palace to discuss matters in Liaodong.
At first, the matter was reported to the cabinet, and Zhu Jianshen did not personally intervene. However, when the Emperor returned, Yu Qian originally wanted to throw the matter out to attract the attention of the officials in the court, so that he could make good use of it. Now The Supreme Emperor was caught by the combined efforts of hundreds of officials, but His Majesty caught the matter again.
Things in Liaodong and military affairs must be handled with caution.
Regarding today's imperial meeting, Zhu Jianshen had already stated that he would repay it with blood. However, Yu Qian felt that national affairs still needed to be discussed more, so he organized this imperial prelude.
The list was also drawn up by Yu Qian.
"Your Majesty, the weapons are dangerous, don't move easily." Yu Qian did not agree with what Zhu Jianshen said in the court.
Zhu Jian took a deep look at Yu Qian. Before he could speak, Xu Youzhen stood up and said, "Yu Taibao, I think what you said is wrong. The Jurchens invaded my people first. Your Majesty is here to listen to the government. In order to be able to attend today's meeting." , The golden words have been spoken. If our army, the King of Heaven, cannot protect the common people, all the generals and noble lords will be ashamed. Moreover, when I came here today, I took a look at the celestial phenomena and concluded that this battle will be beneficial to our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Jian took a deep look at Xu Youzhen and nodded inwardly. It seemed that his choice was right.
Did Xu Youzhen get into the role quickly?
