Outside Guangning City.
When Sun Xiang woke up early in the morning, he patted his thigh and said something was wrong.
Yesterday, I had so much fun drinking with the officials of Guangning at the banquet that I forgot about Shi Heng and Shi Biao's uncles and nephews.
He quickly got up and led the people out of the city in a panic.
After arriving in the south of the city, I saw Shi Heng and Shi Biao who were still looking forward to it.
The two uncles and nephews were livid, not angry, but out of cold. Yesterday, they took the surviving child to live in a tent, but the tent was too thin, so they gave the child their own quilt.
Then the uncle and nephew hugged each other for warmth and survived a difficult night.
As for the existing buildings, they had long been destroyed by the Jurchens who came to harass them, and they could not be inhabited.
Shi Heng asked: "Why did Sundu Censor take so long?"
Sun Xiang's face turned red and he said, "Marquis Wu Yang, I'm so sorry. I drank too much with the officials in Guangning yesterday and actually forgot about Marquis Wu Yang and others. It's a huge sin."
After hearing this, Shi Biao and Shi Heng's expressions became pale.
This guy Shi Biao really got it right.
"Uncle, I said yesterday that Sundu Yushi must be drinking in Guangning City, and you scolded me. You see, I was right."
After hearing Shi Biao's words, Sun Xiang's face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.
After listening to Shi Biao's words, Shi Heng glared at him.
"Shi Biao, I won't let you go if you continue to talk nonsense. Sundu Censor, why don't we go to the city first and repair it before making arrangements."
Sun Xiang agreed immediately.
Then hundreds of people began to pack their bags and started heading towards Guangning City.
When leaving, Sun Xiang told Shi Heng what happened yesterday, and asked Shi Heng to patrol Liaodong earlier to understand the situation of the soldiers in Liaodong.
Shi Heng responded immediately.
After the large army entered the city, they took a short rest, and the poor child was taken down to take a bath by Shi Biao.
Under the guidance of Kou Shou, Shi Heng walked into the General Military Mansion.
Check the armaments records, and also have an understanding of Liaodong's military deployment, surrounding fortresses, and military households.
Under Kou Shou's account, Shi Heng understood that the farming system and the military household system were almost dead in name only.
The life of military households in Liaodong was very poor, and they had to go to the battlefield to fight. In the first year of Zhengtong, countless people began to flee privately. At that time, in order to clean up the defense of Liaodong, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office came up with a new idea.
The system of farming and military households was not abolished in name, but soldiers were recruited on their own. They did not need to plow the fields on weekdays, but only did drills. The farms in the farming station were cultivated by the original military households, but part of them needed to be used to feed these soldiers.
Even so, food and equipment still need to be transported by sea from Shandong, and the capital also needs to transport them from inland to Liaodong.
In the 14th year of Zhengtong, due to war in Liaodong, a total of 600,000 taels of food, equipment, and wages were spent.
In the first year of Chenghua, it was slightly low, spending 420,000 taels.
In the second year of Chenghua, three hundred thousand taels were spent.
It lasted until the fifth year of Chenghua.
This expenditure is jointly borne by the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Capital and Shandong.
Although there is a governor, the administrative division of Liaodong is still in Shandong.
There are now more than 10,000 garrison troops in Guangning, who train all day long and have considerable combat effectiveness. There are also more than 40 bunkers deployed near Guangning, with hundreds of soldiers in each bunker.
The same configuration is used in Liaoyang, Shenyang, Jinzhou and other important towns, all of which support tens of thousands of soldiers, which are reserved quotas in the Ministry of War.
Shi Heng did not stay in Guangning City for long. He took the military orders from the Fifth Army Governor's Office and set out overnight to Liaoyang, Shenyang, Jinzhou and other important towns.
And Sun Xiang was not idle either. He started investigating the files and case records at the Guangning Governor's Yamen.
In fact, Li Chun did send people to investigate some, but when the finger was pointed at Jianzhou Guard Li Manzhu, Li Chun stopped.
Among the Jisu Guards, the Three Guards of Jianzhou are the most powerful. They are said to have thousands of armored soldiers. When the three guards unite, they are also a very powerful force in Liaodong.
Now Liaodong Town, including the governor's Yamen, has less and less control over Jisi Guard Station.
The Jianzhou Jurchens, Haixi Jurchens, and Savage Jurchens are all considered powerful Jurchen ethnic groups in Liaodong.
During the annual tribute exchange, Dong Shan, the commander of the Jurchen Left Guards in Jianzhou, wrote several times to request revisions, but the governor's office did not forward them to him.
Because of its policy, the Jurchens were not allowed to become stronger. The sale of farm equipment and cattle to the Jurchens had to undergo strict scrutiny.
But Li Chun thought that doing more was better than doing less, so he could only complete some small concealments under big demands.
It also aroused the dissatisfaction of Jianzhou Guard, which then had an impact on Jisu Guard.
Of course, this is indeed not Li Chun's fault. It cannot be allowed to grow bigger. It is also one of the responsibilities of the governor of Liaodong.
Sun Xiang took Li Chun into custody, put the existing clues on the title book, and sent it to the capital.
The three guards in Jianzhou are the most powerful.
Especially since the Xuande Dynasty, after more than ten years of comfortable life, the population and soldiers of the three guards in Jianzhou have grown greatly.
Because he only had the power of restraint and no direct jurisdiction, the sergeant did not have detailed files on the real population of the three guards in Jianzhou.
In fact, for these minority groups, including the Jurchens, in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, the policy was to avoid fighting, and their main opponent was Mongolia.
The Jisu Guardhouse was born in this environment, in order to appease and tame the foreigners.
During the Hongwu period, there was a very strict ban on foreign affairs in Liaodong and the burning of wasteland.
The foreign ban prohibits the Han people from leaving the area where they live and crossing the border for the sake of mink skins, ginseng, and forest trees. It also strictly controls the Jurchen ethnic group in Liaodong and does not allow them to leave the border without permission, nor can they leave the border without paying tribute. Having contact with the Han people is a means used to protect the Han people.
Burning is to burn the tall trees and weeds around the city and fortress cleanly. This is also to allow the vigilant soldiers to have an unobstructed view of the distance from the city wall.
At this time, the only consensus among the Liaodong Ming Army was that the Jurchens were easier to fight than the Mongols.
This is why during the Battle of Liting in Chenghua, the Ming army's division of troops progressed so smoothly. However, in the Battle of Sarhu during the Shenzong period, the ancestors' division of troops strategy was also adopted, but there were two different results. A huge defeat. And return.
Of course, this is also because the opponents have changed, and the Jurchens have been well trained in the hands of Nurhaci.
No one is born a warrior, and all Baturu is fake.
Real warriors are born in blood and fire, and are trained in every cold winter and heat.
Jinyiwei commander Zhu Ji personally led the team, leading more than fifty Jinyiwei members dressed in plain clothes, to enter the pass through Zijingguan, and escorted two carriages for dozens of days to a heavily guarded residence.
This courtyard was once the residence of a feudal prince who committed crimes. After he was defeated and captured, the residence was left empty and handed over to the local officials for management.
And this palace also welcomed its new owner, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Qizhen.
All life affairs in the mansion should be coordinated
It was guarded by five hundred soldiers led by a deputy commander. Not even a fly could fly in, and of course no one could escape.
Zhu Ji was escorting the heirs left behind when the Supreme Emperor fled in embarrassment.
The two eunuchs entered the palace after receiving the child and the six unnamed women of the Supreme Emperor.
The Jin Yiwei on the side said: "Master Commander, should we go in and kowtow to the Supreme Emperor?"
"No need, the mission is completed, let's return to Beijing as soon as possible."
After Zhu Ji said goodbye to the guarding deputy commander, he set off back to Beijing.
In the palace.
Zhu Qizhen was lying on the rocking chair and basking in the sun with his eyes closed.
Although he was still imprisoned when he returned, the environment was still much better than the yurt he had in Beiyuan.
Zhu Qizhen has gained several pounds in the past few days, doing nothing but eating and sleeping.
"Father, father."
A voice made Zhu Qizhen tremble. BIquGe.biz
Then he opened his eyes and saw two four or five-year-old children running towards him.
Instantly, my eyes were filled with tears.
Zhu Qizhen quickly got up and took the two children into his arms.
"Father, father, I miss you so much, I miss you so much..."
Zhu Qizhen felt sour in his heart when he heard that. He thought that after escaping back, he could successfully ascend the throne as emperor, and then give the two children corresponding identities, but now, he is locked in a cage. Canary, and the fate of these two children is also doomed.
The two children had been away from Zhu Qizhen for a month, but they missed them very much, playing coquettishly in Zhu Qizhen's arms.
They don't care what their fate will be in the future, but they haven't seen their father for a long time and miss him terribly.
Zhu Qizhen looked at the two children in his arms and was very satisfied.
This is my child, different from the unfilial son in the palace...
