Chapter 560 Throwing Stones


Xia Xun came out of the fortress, with 50,000 elite soldiers, although he may not dare to resist when he beheaded Shen Yong, but Liaodong is extremely important, even if it is just in case, it will cause irreparable serious consequences, with 50,000 elite soldiers sitting in Liaoyang, it can produce enough deterrence, even if Shen Yong is unwilling to die, I am afraid that no general will be willing to follow him to take risks.

Xia Xun's men and horses are strong and strong, the equipment is more advanced, compared with the officers and soldiers who stand outside Liaoyang City to greet them, the overall quality is much higher, the front is a heavy armored warrior riding on a strong and incomparably tall horse, followed by a large array of infantry with a strict appearance, to Liaoyang City, the army stopped solemnly, the left and right were separated, and a horse and high chariot came out proudly.

The curtain of the carriage hung low, the four horsemen followed closely behind the car, and drove to the front of the Liaodong Zhuwei Division, the handlebar type plugged in the big whip, turned around and opened the sedan curtain, Xia Xun wore a jewel and jade crown, wore a unicorn uniform, pedaled a pair of white black official boots, bent down and walked out of the sedan car, and held a shaft of bright yellow satin holy decree in his hand.

Although everyone knew that this Fuguo Duke was young, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw his appearance.

This prince is really young, handsome, majestic, and has a seductive momentum, and his handsome appearance is enough to infatuate countless lonely ladies and celebrities, and the experience of holding high positions and powers for a long time has precipitated the majestic temperament that makes heroes and heroes bend their waists.

Just a face, the officials present had a feeling: this prince is not a second ancestor who inherited his father's ancestor Yu Yin and inherited the lord, look at this, he is very alert, and he is indeed as rumored, not a person who is easy to fool.

Shen Yong was even more flustered, hurriedly took a step forward, hugged his fists and saluted, and took the lead in shouting: "The last general, Shen Yong, and the 25th Weidu Division of Liaodong, greet the lord of the department."

Xia Xun's sharp gaze lightly loosened on his face, and he said in his heart: "He is Shen Yong, but he has a good skin."

Xia Xun walked down steadily from his feet, stood still, and said loudly: "There is a decree in the saint, and everyone will kneel down to listen to the decree."

Originally, the edict of the Son of Heaven did not enter the barracks, and only the military salute was carried out in the army, Xia Xun deliberately pointed out that he wanted to kneel down and listen to the order, Shen Yong and the others were slightly stunned, but they did not dare to resist, Xia Xun took out the holy decree and read it out loud.

This edict is different from the secret edict given to him by Zhu Di, this is an edict sent to him by the emperor in accordance with his requirements on his way to the north, and the content only talks about his governor Liaodong and surveying border affairs, and does not write the words of beheading Shen Yong and adding Temur to him.

In fact, it is only equivalent to a letter of appointment.

Xia Xun announced the holy decree, and the generals shouted long live, but Xia Xun did not tell them to get up, only focused his eyes on Shen Yong, and said: "The emperor called me to come, and I have to verify a matter, I heard that some time ago, the Tatars had plundered 30,000 guards, but there is such a thing."

Shen Yong chuckled in his heart, and he panicked: "This governor really asked about it, and he didn't even enter the city gate, so he asked about it, this time I'm afraid it's going to be worse."

Shen Yong's face changed slightly, and he reluctantly responded: "Lord Huibutang, some time ago, I said that the Tartars had indeed disturbed my border with the intention of opening the plain. ” Xia Xun smiled faintly and asked again: "According to the music, Shen Dusi did not move and did not fight behind closed doors, but there is such a thing."

Shen Yong's heart shook violently: "According to the music, according to the music, who is the secret music to the court, yes, it must be Temur, this bastard, I should have found a reason to cut him with a knife."

Full of resentment and hatred of Pei Yishi Mur, Xia Xun's words could not help but reply, Shen Yong had to bite the bullet and said: "Lord Hui Mintang, the last general is not afraid of the battle, but because the road is far away, the Tartars attacked the border just to plunder the people's property, and they left as soon as they touched it, and before the last general could send troops, the Tartars retreated, this must be a rumor to confuse the public, slander the last general, and ask the Ministry of the Lord to investigate" Before Shen Yong could say a word, Pei Yishi Temur exploded his lungs, and jumped up when he landed, rushed up a few steps, Xia Xun's left and right guards immediately stopped with horizontal guns, Temur grabbed the barrel of the gun, and shouted with fire in his eyes: "He lied to Lord Ministry, Shen Yong lied from Liaoyang to Kaiyuan, less than four hours away, the Tartar forward soldiers and horses just arrived, the last general sent someone to report to him, the last general led the troops, and the Tartars for two days and two nights, and then had to retreat to Kaiyuan because of the single force, and the Tartars attacked the city for a while, before and after sending a total of eight messengers for help, Shen Yongruo was willing to send troops, and he climbed to such a long time."

Speaking of this, Temur burst into tears: "Just because Shen Yong was afraid of not being able to fight, the vicinity of Kaiyuan was plundered, the villages and towns were looted, and the people were taken captive more than a thousand mouths, my son-in-law, guarding the Eight Tigers' Road, fought and died, poor my daughter, who was also taken away by the Tartars, she was pregnant, my unborn grandson."

This Eight Tigers Road is Faku County, which was the territory of Sanwanwei at that time, and was the forefront of the Tatar invasion.

Xia Xun glanced at Shen Yong coldly, Shen Yong's face was blue and red for a while, and he quibbled: "The Lord of the Ministry has a clear opinion, Pei Yishit Mur is not good for defending the territory, and in order to shirk the responsibility, he exaggerated the enemy's situation and framed the last general.

These Jurchens usually only ask for it from the imperial court, they don't know how to move forward when they are in battle, they are all a bunch of people, don't be deceived by him."

When he received the governor of Liaodong, Shen Yong did not allow Temur to come to meet him on the grounds of military urgency, and only asked him to send a deputy commander to meet him, but this Temur did not listen to evil, and when he heard that the DPRK and China had sent a big man, he insisted on coming to see him in person, and he didn't want to make a mistake now.

The Tartars raided and plundered the vicinity of Kaiyuan for three days, ravaging one side, burning and plundering countless times, Shen Yong never sent a single soldier, as long as this matter was investigated, there was no way to quibble, so Shen Yong had to start from the race.

In his mind, the military affairs of Liaodong, the grandfather of this country, will not last long, so if he wants to make achievements in Liaodong, there are still many places to rely on himself.

Temur was a Jurchen, and at that time, the Ming court imposed a policy of restraint on the affiliated minority tribes, and all the people of the Jurchen tribes who took refuge in the annexation would be properly resettled, giving houses grain, firewood, utensils and even cattle and horses.

But the policy is the policy, as soon as it comes to the bottom, the Ming people in Liaodong are more serious than some whites who disdain the blacks, because the Ming people have a dominant position in Liaodong, even the Jurchen tribal leaders who became officials after being attached to them are rarely treated by them as colleagues and robes, but as slaves.

Shen Yong couldn't justify his guilt, so he had to talk about race relations, hoping that Xia Xun would favor him.

Temur was about to vomit blood when he heard this, but Xia Xun smiled and said: "Shen Yong, the person who impeached you is the same as you, he is also a Han."

Shen Yong was stunned for a moment, and asked in a lost voice: "Who is it?"

Xia Xun's face sank, and he said: "Don't worry, you will have someone to come to the court one day, take Shen Yong down, and wait for treatment."

Shen Yong was stunned, he didn't expect that as soon as Xia Xun arrived, the first thing he did was to take down himself, the chief general in charge of Liaodong military affairs, and before he could protest, several armor soldiers had already swarmed up and tied him up solidly.

Shen Yong's protests continued, and the guard was noisy, so he didn't know where to pull out a black rag and stuff it into his mouth.

Seeing that this governor was so powerful, all the generals present were silent, Natemur knelt down and kowtowed, and thanked him repeatedly, in fact, he came today to complain, but because he has always been despised by others, he never thought that he could bring down this Shen Dusi, who had been operating in Liaodong for many years, but he couldn't hold back this breath, and he couldn't imagine that as soon as the Duke of Fuguo came, the first thing he did was to take down Shen Yong, at this moment, Temur was really grateful in his heart.

"There are 25 guards and horses in the Liaodong Prefecture, with a total of 154,392 people, and the current amount is 130,677, with a total of 53,442 mules and horses, and a total of beacons."

The report was the commander Zhang Jun, these things should have been reported by Shen Yong, but as soon as Xia Xun came, he threw Shen Yong into prison, Zhang Jun rushed the ducks to the shelves, so he had to bite the bullet, but although he took over in a hurry, he was so clear about military affairs, but he was a person who worked hard, Xia Xun listened carefully, nodded secretly in his heart, and had already started to cultivate.

In the handsome hall, more than 20 military generals who dominated one side sat precariously and did not squint.

Today's Xia Xun is not the Xia Xun when he first arrived in eastern Zhejiang, at that time he had no prestige in the army, but only relied on the emperor's trust, the deterrence of the king's flag, and the support of Shuangyu, Chaohu, Fuzhou Sanwei's cronies, in order to control the situation.

Now it is not the case, his governor's great military exploits in the five coastal provinces, even these generals who are far away in the border are also clear, now Haiyu Yijing, most of the grain and grass transported by the imperial court to the north are transported by sea, saving a lot of time and loss, those ships and sailors at sea are especially respectful of Xia Xun, through their mouths, Liaodong soldiers and horses are familiar with Xia Xun's deeds.

With the title of a supreme minister, he can't suppress these arrogant soldiers, but with his military exploits, it is enough to make people respectfully tame.

After a while, Zhang Juncai finished reporting, Xia Xun nodded, praised him a few words, Zhang Yi sat down diligently, Xia Xun coughed, and turned to the Liaoyang Zhongwei Mo Du Si who was sitting in the first place, Zhang Jun reported on the entire situation in Liaodong, and then these generals had to report on the areas they were responsible for, soldiers, armaments, military buildings and residents in their respective jurisdictions.

It was reported until noon, only nine people were reported, Shen Yong had prepared a feast, although the people called Xia Xun to arrest it, he did not waste the banquet, and accepted it calmly, just because he had to continue the discussion in the afternoon, he was not allowed to drink, and he took a short break after lunch, and in the afternoon Xia Xun continued to listen to the report, and from time to time held a pen to write down the points he was interested in on paper.

Unconsciously, the sky was already dark, the lights were lit on the handsome hall, Xia Xun was still listening carefully, garrison training, food and salary transportation, ordnance and armament, if there was a slight doubt, he asked people to stop reporting, ask clearly, and never be vague about any question.

When all the guards and generals finished reporting, Xia Xun said with a smile: "Kaiyuan is located in the extreme north of Liaodong, lonely and suspended, it is a unique place for the six sides, a small city, there are two guards stationed in the soldiers and horses, Emperor Taizu Gao and the Han Dynasty vassal state in Kaiyuan, it can be seen that the importance of this place."

From this point of view, the nine-sided town, Liaodong is the head, Liaodong Zhusai, and Kaiyuan is the head" He stood up, the generals looked at it, they all stood up, there was a sonorous sound of armor in the lobby, Xia Xun said solemnly: "Ming said that the governor's office will be moved to Kaiyuan, the generals have something, you can report to Kaiyuan that the night is dark, the generals can disperse to eat, rest, the generals have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, if there is no other business to report, tomorrow morning will leave for return, do not need to ask the governor for resignation" The generals were stunned when they heard this, and the lunch was simply eaten, and the dinner was actually gone, although it was for the grandfather of the country to catch the wind and wash the dust, but it was not a way to contact the feelings of the generals, this grandfather of the country is really resolute in doing things.

What they didn't expect was that Xia Xun actually moved the governor's office to Kaiyuan, the land of the original projectile, but in the east and north to strangle the Haixi Jurchens, to the south to the Jianzhou Jurchens, to the west and north to restrain Mongolia, three sides of the enemy, that is the most dangerous, the most cutting-edge, is the bridgehead of the war, the governor actually personally involved in danger, ran to Kaiyuan City This place is both dangerous and poor, when Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang divided the princes as kings, the twentieth son Zhu Song was named the king of Han, and the feudal country was Kaiyuan, Zhu Song did not want to come at all, it happened that he was not in good health, and he was often sick, so he used this as an excuse to drag on, and waited until Zhu Yuanzhang's stern father passed away, first his nephew was eager to kill all the princes who owned the feudal kingdom, and then his fourth brother was not willing to let the kings lead the soldiers and horses, Zhu Song was even more deserved, and he stayed in Jinling City, took the king of Han's money, but he refused to go to Kaiyuan to become a vassal.

It's just that this Auxiliary Grandfather knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and he prefers to go to Tiger Mountain.

Although the generals were surprised, they also had some respect for this young prince.

The generals retreated one by one according to the order, Xia Xun stretched his hands and feet, and also left the Shuai Hall, as soon as he got out of the Shuai Hall, he called a warrior to come, although this person was dressed as a squire, but if there is a cronie and family of the Fuguo Mansion here, he must know him, this person is Zuo Dan who often goes in and out of the Fuguo Mansion out of nowhere.

"Zuo Dan, keep an eye on Shen Yong, Ming'er will go to Kaiyuan and bring him with you" "Yes" Zuo Dan responded, hesitated slightly, and couldn't help asking: "Guogong, Shen Yongheng is a general in the plug, and he has many henchmen, anyway, the emperor already has a will, why not behead him as soon as possible to prevent future troubles." ” Xia Xun smiled and shook his head: "Shen Yong has henchmen, even if I am sitting here, I don't dare to make a mistake, but if they disobey me, it will inevitably be a big deal."

I already have some understanding of the geography and folk customs of Liaodong, but what I need to know most is the relationship between the generals.

You look at it, since I said that the generals have nothing to do, but they can return early in the morning, and they must have something to report, so that I can find out who the generals are far away and who is close and who is close and who is sparse, and I know in my heart, so that I can prescribe the right medicine for the whole Liaodong like an arm pointing Shen Yong, and now it is a stone to ask for directions, more or less, it is still somewhat useful. ” To be continued:
