Liaodong Metropolitan Division is subordinate to the Shandong Metropolitan Command Division, equivalent to a large military division, the jurisdiction of the south from Lushunkou, north to Kaiyuan, east of the Yalu River, west of the Shanhaiguan, equivalent to most of the later Liaoning Province, Wangqing Xu, leading the Song Desert, controlling the Jurchen of the West of the Sea, isolating Mongolia and North Korea, looking at Nuergan in the north, like a giant hand, wings to protect the northeast of the Ming Dynasty.
This area, is Hongwu four years when the Yuan Liaoyang Province Pingzhang Liu Yi surrendered to the Ming Dynasty before the Ming Dynasty territory, Kaiyuan has 30,000 guards, Liaohaiwei two guards and horses, the border fortress set up two parallel military and political systems at the same level, in the Ming Dynasty is also unique.
Moreover, the strength of these two guards was much larger than that of ordinary guards, which had about 5,600 soldiers and horses, divided into 5,000 households.
There are eight of the 30,000 guards and eight of the 1,000 households, and nine of the Liaohai guards.
Each has a palm print commander, a member of the Guantun commander, a member of the management bureau, a member of the experience, a member of the town, a warehouse officer, a warehouse officer, a post officer, a delivery officer, and eight members of the palm print.
It can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to this place.
In fact, there are not only two guards here, but also a guard and horse, called the Kaiyuan Central Guard.
Since Zhu Song was named the king of Han, the imperial court drew elites from the Praetorian Guard to form the Han King's guard, and set up the Kaiyuan Middle Guard Station in Kaiyuan, and built the Han Wang's Mansion in Kaiyuan to welcome the arrival of the Han King.
In addition, Kaiyuan also has the Kaiyuan Military Reserve Road, which is mainly responsible for the military affairs of Kaiyuan City, Zhonggu City, Fanhe City, Yilu City, Puhe City, Qingyun Fort, Zhenxi Fort and other places.
It can be said that there are many yamen, and they are not subordinate to each other, and the situation in the army is very complicated.
Kaiyuan city stationed in Kaiyuan guards, Kaiyuan soldiers prepare the road, the yamen of 30,000 guards is located in the southwest corner of Kaiyuan City, build a soil city, Liaohaiwei is located in Luocheng not far from Kaiyuan City, two military cities as the Acropolis of Kaiyuan, into a horn shape, arch guarding this is not big, but the military position is very important small city.
Xia Xun arrived in Kaiyuan, the military and political dignitaries of the Kaiyuan place had to rush to greet them, there are more than 3,000 households and more than 10,000 people in Kaiyuan City, most of the Han people are military families, a small number of prisoners who were exiled to the border, in addition to the Ming Jurchens and Mongolians, most of them do not live in the city, and establish villages nearby, it has been convenient for nomadic herding, but it is said that they often trade and come and go, and they also have to go to the city, so this small city is quite lively.
The military and political dignitaries of Kaiyuan greeted ten miles away, received Xia Xun, beat gongs and drums to the city to welcome, outside the west gate of Kaiyuan City is Luo City, Luo City is the acropolis of Kaiyuan City, and it is also the old city of Kaiyuan City, this is a north and south length of about 500 zhang, the east and west length is less than 400 zhang of the earth city, it is the place where the Liao State attacked the Bohai State when the troops and placed the prisoners, after the four generations of Liao, Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, it was constantly renovated and solidified.
The whole city is made of adobe, the city is three feet high and five feet high, and the whole city is equipped with four gates: the east is called "Yanghe Gate", the west is called "Qingyun Gate", the south is called "Ying'en Gate", and the north is called "Anyuan Gate".
There are four corner towers on top of the city wall, and the city wall is wide enough for horse-drawn carriages.
There is a moat around the outside of the city, and a bell and drum tower is built in the center of the city.
The south gate of Luocheng Ying'en Gate is adjacent to the avenue, and the wind and rain above the Tucheng City Gate have formed a soil nest, an unkempt and dirty veteran, wearing a torn sheepskin jacket, lazily half lying in the soil nest, while basking in the sun, while rummaging lice in his clothes, find one with a fingernail pinch, throw it into his mouth, and then click and chew.
"Grandpa Guo is here, hey, look at the grandeur of the team."
"I heard that our grandfather and the emperor are both married to the daughters of General Xu Da, they are a pair of sisters, and they are brothers-in-law with the emperor."
"That's the royal family, the imperial relatives also came to our Kaiyuan City, I have never seen such a big official in my life."
"You haven't seen it now, don't you just look at the honor guard from afar?"
"Nonsense, this isn't enough, you have to come to the front of us, we are also worthy of someone, that is a nobleman" The unkempt veteran raised his head, buttoned his eyes, and asked blankly, "Which Guogong is here?"
A soldier guarding the city said: "When the prince of the auxiliary country of the court, Wan Tou'er, have you heard of it?"
The old soldier's cheeks twitched violently, and he muttered, "Fu Guogong, Yang Xu" "Shhh, Wan Tou'er, be quiet, the name of Grandpa Guo is also what we can call directly, I heard that you used to be a scholar, why don't you understand the rules?"
The old soldier smiled miserably, buried his head, and continued to catch lice seriously, and the soldier next to him stood on the wall, pointing at the imperial army passing in the distance, so excited that he didn't even raise his eyelids.
This veteran's surname is Wan, called Wan Shiyu, he is indeed a scholar, not only a scholar, but also the top Jinshi of the Jiazi Branch in the 23rd year of Hongwu, and he was released to Xinghua County, Fujian, and worked hard from the grassroots level, and was promoted to the prefect of Fuzhou step by step.
It was only because when Yang Xu was the governor of the five coastal provinces to suppress the Japanese, he impeached Yang Xu for abusing the cool law and eliminating the good and the bad, resulting in a depression along the coast and the people in distress, and he was demoted by the Yongle Emperor and exiled to Liaodong.
Today, Wanzhifu is the guard of Luocheng and the city gate official of the south gate, that is, the secretary of the branch and the old man of the communication room of the south gate of Luocheng. mixed up to such a situation today, all thanks to this auxiliary prince, the ups and downs of the sea all his life, mixed with this situation, but he didn't even bother to have hatred.
The status of each other is already extremely different, and now it is even more different, a small god under the land lord, no matter how miserable it is, can he still hate the Jade Emperor Mourning is greater than dying.
Xia Xun arrived in Kaiyuan City, and was warmly welcomed by the generals of Kaiyuan Zhuwei and Bingbeidao, although the meticulousness of the wine and food is not as good as the diet in the Guan, but the old hen stewed ginseng, flying dragon soup, lion's mane mushroom, and many wild games outside the Guan, they were stewed in a cauldron, but they also had a unique flavor.
The next day Xia Xun also slept lazily, said that he got up on the last pole, washed up, had breakfast, and met with the local generals in the place where the governor was temporarily set up, and inquired about the opening of the original situation.
Approaching noon, the generals dispersed, Xia Xun and the Liaodong Provincial Imperial Envoy Shao Yunfeng who came with him had lunch together, Shao Yunfeng reminded with some apprehension: "Xia Guan understands that the ministry has received a holy decree to come to the governor of Liaodong to do all the affairs, and the affairs are busy, but about Shen Yong's case, it is the most concerned thing for the Liaodong guards, and it is the most concerned thing for the Kaiyuan military and civilians.
You must know that the people outside the gate are not pious enough to naturalize, and once they have grievances, they will inevitably be taken advantage of by the Tartars. ” It was Shao Yunfeng who impeached Shen Yong, Shao Yunfeng is different from Temur, Temur is the head of a clan, and he has become a military attache with the strength of the clan, even if he has a disagreement with the chief of the capital, others can't easily move him, but Shaoyunfeng is different, he is in Liaodong alone, once Shen Yong makes a comeback, he will be blacked out by Shen Yong, to kill people like him, it is easy for Shen Yong, and there are many methods and means, seeing that Xia Xun is leisurely and leisurely, he is not very concerned about Shen Yong's case, Shao Yunfeng is of course the most anxious.
Xia Xun understood his apprehension, so he smiled and gave him a reassuring pill to eat: "Young envoy, don't worry."
Ben Governor told you the truth."
Xia Xun said, his voice lowered, and he leaned towards Shaoyunfeng, because the two of them each had a small square table, and they ate at separate tables, and the distance was relatively far.
Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Han people have eaten at separate tables, and husbands and wives are no exception.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Han Xizai feasted on the painted surface, that is, one person and one table, to the Ming Dynasty, there began to be two people at a table, and the wine and food were also separated, if it was three or five friends to have a light meal, there were also square tables for four people a table, and most of them were folk and taverns, but that was the limit, if there were more people at the same table, it was very rude.
It's just that many Chinese's good habits are eventually carried forward outside, but they are discarded by themselves.
In Europe, where food sharing is popular now, there used to be no food, and the French drank soup, which used to be a table of people around a big basin, one person picked up and took a sip, put it back after drinking, and then held it up and drank it again, and the big guys took turns to drink, and they didn't even need a spoon.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the habit of sharing food gradually spread to Europe, so the European people followed suit, and after the Han people entered the Qing Dynasty, the composition of the upper class society was mainly the flag people, and the flag people along the habit of extending the grassland, mainly implemented the food system, and gradually the food distribution system was forgotten by the Chinese.
At this time, it was still the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Xia Xun was the prince of the country, and the rules for eating were still quite big, so he naturally had to share the food.
Xia Xun leaned sideways to Shaoyun Peak and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, young envoy, Shen Yong is already a mortal person."
Shao Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What does the ministry mean?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "This is not what I mean, but the emperor's intention Shen Yong is cowardly and can't fight, let the Tartars kidnap my border people and plunder my wealth, the emperor Longyan is furious, and has issued a secret decree to behead him, and told the nine sides, in the future, anyone who is cowardly and fearful of the enemy and hides the enemy's feelings will be punished according to Shen Yong's crime, and the governor will be killed now, just to see what is still hidden under the troubled waters, understand?"

"Ah, Xia Guan understands" Shao Yunfeng was surprised and delighted.
Xia Xun smiled: "Since that's the case, let's eat with peace of mind."
After a short rest after dinner, you and I changed into civilian clothes and went to the city for a walk, since the emperor sent me, I can't just kill one Shen Yong and go back to Jinling.
Liaodong and my Ming Dynasty are very important, this place is not quiet, enough to shake the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, since the governor is here, I have to do something. ” "Yes, yes, the lower officials understand" The young envoy didn't know the taste of food, but when he heard Xia Xun's words, he suddenly relieved himself.
He is the imperial envoy of Liaodong Province, who observes everything from the government, criminal names, money valleys, public security, archives, schools, agriculture, water conservancy, and customs and folk secrets.
Now that he has let go of his thoughts, he has also calmed down, Xia Xun has asked again, and the answers are also serious and meticulous, and there is no more uncertainty.
The two of them asked and answered, and this lunch was also steady.
