The next day, sure enough, several of the guards did not return to their guards in time, but ran to Xia Xun to intercede for Shen Yong.
The means of interceding are different, some people go straight, some people turn around and wipe their feet, the core meaning is actually only one, please Governor Yang let Shen Dusi a horse, and now he is talking to Shenyang Zhongwei's Dusi Wei Chunbing, Wei Dusi is very skillful in speaking, he talked for a long time, and never directly interceded for Shen Yong, but every word was interceding for Shen Yong.
Wei Dusi only cares about how the situation in Liaodong is; The Jurchen tribes are sometimes tame and sometimes troublesome, how difficult it is to deal with the people; He also said that Shen Yong had been in charge of Liaodong military affairs for many years, and he was quite diligent in ruling Zhuwei, and there was no merit and hard work.
Finally, he said that the people of Kaiyuan City were mainly composed of Han people who were exiled by crime and Jurchen and Mongolian tribes who belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
Xia Xun just smiled and listened, never saying a word, Wei Dusi said that he felt bored later, so he had to stop his mouth and leave in a huff.
"Wei Chunbing, Shenyang Zhongwei."
Xia Xun opened a booklet and wrote down the name of Wei Dusi and the guard where he was located, but whoever interceded for Shen Yong had a different relationship with Shen Yong, and he had to investigate these people carefully before deciding how to deal with them.
As soon as he closed the pamphlet, the guards came in and reported: "Report to the Lord of the Ministry, the commander of the 30,000 guards, Pei Yishit Moor, and the commander of the Tieling Guard, the envoy Qinggeltai, ask for an audience.
"Oh, let them in" Suddenly, from the outside footsteps into the two big men, both burly, with a pair of obvious looped legs, at first glance it is a man who grew up on horseback, the two saw Xia Xun immediately crossed their hands and saluted, and said like thunder: "Humble Pei Yishi Murqing Geltai to meet the lord of the department" Xia Xun stood up and said with a smile: "Both of you are here, do you have something to say to me?"
Pei Yishi Temur clenched his fist at him and said in a deep voice: "Ministry, I don't know which lord spoke up and impeached Shen Yong to the emperor.
The humble post was originally going to be sued, but he couldn't find a way, but now that the lord of the ministry is here, it's good, the humble post is willing to be a witness, and the ministry is also asked to enforce the law impartially and severely punish Shen Yong Don't hide it from the ministry, the people of the lowly tribe, because this matter is about to fall out, they all say, the court has accepted us as the people of the Ming Kingdom, why do they only know how to ask for mink ginseng and all kinds of taxes, once the foreign enemy invades, kill my parents and annihilate my sisters, but the court soldiers and horses have been suppressing the people in the clan on deaf ears, but if this continues, I am afraid that the lowly duty will not be able to suppress it" Xia Xun smiled faintly and said: "Military discipline is strict, military law is strict first, and then strict."
If it should be disposed of, the governor will naturally dispose of it, and this time he will go to Kaiyuan in person, and the governor will get the most direct evidence, and all the evidence is complete, and Shen Yong should be the law.
If the evidence is incomplete, you will not kill the minister because your people are angry.
The sword of this governor can resist foreign captives and kill ministers, but it can't cut down bandits."
Xia Xun is also very sympathetic to Temur's experience, and Xia Xun also admires his exploits in sticking to Kaiyuan, and Xia Xun can also understand what he said today.
But all this does not mean that there is no principled tolerance, he is here to represent the imperial court, and he can let his subordinates threaten him.
Temur hid a knife in his words, Xia Xun immediately returned the color, Temur was so swollen that his face was red by him, but he didn't dare to come out.
Seeing this, Qing Ge Tai hurriedly said: "The lord of the ministry is the governor of Liaodong and the governor of military affairs, since he knows about this matter, he will always deal with it.
Temur, I know that your son-in-law was killed and your eldest daughter was taken away, and I was very angry and anxious in my heart, but the laws and regulations of the court cannot be messed up.
In this matter, you just have to wait patiently, and the lord will always give you justice. ” Qinggeltai is a Mongolian man, after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, his father led the tribe to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, was placed by Zhu Yuanzhang near Tieling, set up Tieling Wei, appointed his father as the commander of the guard, and now the son is the father of the position, is the current commander of the Tieling Guard.
Like Temur, he was also ostracized by the other guards generals, so he had a good relationship with Temur.
Qinggeltai appeased Temur, then hugged his fist to Xia Xun, and said respectfully: "Temur is in a sad mood, his tone is a little rushed, and he asks the ministry not to blame."
The Lord of the Ministry is going to Kaiyuan, and the last general and Temur are on the same journey with the Lord of the Ministry, and they are here to meet him, thinking of escorting the Ministry and going to Kaiyuan together. ” Xia Xun smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go together."
There is no civilian yamen in Liaodong, and the entire Liaodong, the military, political and legal departments are all in charge of the army, which is a large and vast military area, and Shen Yong is the chief soldier of Liaodong and the actual emperor here.
Liaodong 25 guards, 150,000 troops, so many generals, 30,000 guards were attacked, Shen Yong saw the beacon fire and did not move, Temur asked for troops several times but did not come out, if it were not for the Liaodong Provincial Imperial Envoy Shaoyunfeng on a secret music, the imperial court would not know anything about it, it can be seen that even if Liaodong cannot be said to be a place where officials and officials protect each other, at least Shen Yong covers the sky with one hand.
In such an environment, can only dealing with one Shen Yong be foolproof and long-term stability, so the handling of Shen Yong cannot be as hasty as Guanhaiwei's command Chang Xiwen.
If it is an official, there is a faction, Xia Xun wants to use Shen Yong as bait, to understand which people belong to his faction, and then focus on the investigation of these officials, those who are still worthy of use will try their best to fight for it, and those who are corrupt and degenerate or stubborn will have to be dealt with in a nest.
Xia Xun and many people who want to do a big career actually use the same method, if they want to do big things, they must first rectify the rule of officials.
Because you are high, even if you are born and want to implement your ideas, you have to rely on the officials below you, they don't give up, and you can't show your great ability, Xia Xun temporarily stayed with Shen Yong and didn't kill him, that is, he was regarded as a mirror to thoroughly investigate all kinds of malpractices, and a touchstone to show the interests and needs of all parties.
Now, his basic purpose has been achieved.
If Xia Xun wanted to move to Kaiyuan, he had to be accompanied by a large number of officials stationed in Liaoyang, who commanded the envoy Yamen, and the commander Zhang Jun, the imperial envoy of Liaoyang Liaodong Province, Shao Yunfeng, and others followed, and they took away a guard and horse from Liaoyang, Ding Yu, the left guard of Dingliao, and together with the 50,000 officers and soldiers brought by Xia Xun from the pass, they rushed to Kaiyuan.
Xia Xun didn't take the car, he rode on a horse, and the generals marched together, because there were still a large number of foot soldiers, so the team did not go fast, fortunately, the two places are not very far, and they will definitely be able to arrive before nightfall.
After marching for more than two hours, Xia Xun ordered the whole army to rest in place for a while, he led the generals to gallop up the high slope, looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh: "Along the way, it is rare to see a town, and it is rare to see a few pedestrians."
When Xia Xun was in the later generations, the biggest headache was that no matter where he went, it was a bustling crowd, just rubbing shoulders and waving his sleeves, but now that he has been walking for more than two hours, he can see that people are panicking, all barren mountains and wilderness, how can there be a little crowd.
"yes Zhang Jun said: "The population of Liaodong has always been sparse, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the entire Liaodong only had a population of more than 500,000, and then the Red Turban Army entered Liaodong in the north, and fought with the Yuan army here for four years, Liaodong was a piece of erosion, many people fled to North Korea with their families, after the defeat of the Yuan army, plundered many people to flee north with them, and the population here was even less.
When I took over Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, the people of all ethnic groups in Liaodong added up, less than 100,000 people."
Xia Xun felt a little chill in his heart when he heard this, he wanted to do a great job in Liaodong, he could lack anything, but he couldn't lack people, in this era, people are the first productive forces, if there is no one here, then nothing can be talked about, nothing can be done, he asked with a glimmer of hope: "It's just so much, now that the country has been established for more than 30 years, Liaodong has been recuperating for 30 years, and there should be a lot of growth."
Zhang Jun smiled dryly: "It's almost 100,000" Xia Xun almost fell off his horse, he cried out in a lost voice: "How come it is still more than 103,000 years, the people of Liaodong are enough to reproduce for two generations, these thirty years ago, they didn't have children?"
Zhang Jun said: "The ministry doesn't know, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao because of the mixture of those who returned outside the customs and those who did not return, it was not easy to manage, and in order to clear the wilderness and avoid the southern invasion of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, all the residents north of Beiping Mansion, especially in the area from Xuanfu to Liaoyang in the Shanhou area, moved south to Shanhaiguan.
Three times before and after, a total of 85,000 households were relocated, thanks to the multiplication of the people of Liaodong over the years, and some more people were born, otherwise, there would not be a single common person here.
Rao is so, in Liaoyang, Liaoyang is my Liaodong capital of the office, the important place of the army, is still a wide land and sparsely populated, there is a danger of land, not to mention other places, Ningyuan is empty like a wilderness, Kaiyuan, Tieling residents are few, Fengcheng, Caojian is a mountain forest and wild, the road is less pedestrians. ” Xia Xun listened, and his heart was half cold.
Zhang Jun continued: "Nowadays, there are about 100,000 people in Liaodong, of which four-fifths are Han Chinese, and the rest are Mongols and Jurchens who belong to our dynasty.
In addition, eighty percent of the troops stationed outside the Cypriot region are responsible for guarding the border, and two percent are responsible for growing grain in the tuntian.
Tuntian is all the official land owned by the imperial court, and the Tuntian soldiers are hoeing, working hard, and the harvest is not much left except for the payment of grains.
Therefore, the soldiers in charge of Tuntian were really more miserable than the tenants of the landlord's family, so they had no intention of tuntian at all.

Even if they can't go back to their hometown, they would rather escape from the barracks, find a valley and wilderness, and choose a place to live than suffer in the army, and some even simply flee to the tribes of the Jurchens and Mongols, and there is already a saying in the army that "it is better to be born in Liao than to walk in Hu".
Alas, Emperor Taizu Gao's original intention was not to disturb the people, but who knew that there would be such a result."
"Such a thing, there is no one in the ghost place, no one can keep it, no one, what else can be done" Xia Xun listened to the coldness of his heart, he did not expect that the situation in Liaodong was even more serious than he imagined, this seriousness did not come from the outside, but from the inside.
Among the materials he came into contact with, the part concerned about the people was also the least, which can also show how little attention Liaodong attaches to the people.
There are Tatar troubles outside, conflicts between the Han and Mongolians and Jurchens inside, there are struggles between different factions within the Han people, and there are irreconcilable contradictions between the people and the imperial court Xia Xun couldn't wait to turn the horse and leave, hastily ended the matter of Liaodong, and then went back to accompany his daughter-in-law to hold his baby In the end, however, he did not move, but rode his horse and stood on a high slope for a long time without saying a word.
