In the east of the sea, Liao is the leader. When the world is peaceful, this must be guarded.

With the words of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding Emperor Hongwu of the Kingdom, the defense and garrison in Liaodong have always been the top priority. The post road from Guangning to Liaoyang was part of the post road from Liaodong Dusi to Shanhaiguan, and it was also an important place for marching and marching, no worse than the flat official roads in the Central Plains. Now it has passed the cold and frozen land. Even Liaodong, which accounts for more than half a year in winter, has now reached the most suitable season for going out. On both sides of the official road, you can see many farmer farmers in the fields.

With Li Rusong, the general general of Liaodong, leading the way, the posts he passed along the way naturally opened a convenient door. But I don’t know that it was because of Wang Fulin’s journey, or the Li family already knew that the current chief assistant Zhang Juzhengzheng had planned to rectify the post station. Therefore, even if he stayed in the post city and was in order, Li Rusong never met the post chief, so that all three post officials in the post office were flattered by the Shaling Post at the Gaoping Post of Panshan Post were flattered.

In Wang Fulin's view, these post cities in Liaodong are very different from those in the Central Plains, because these are often four hundred steps long, and there are different soldiers stationed in the city, which fully reflects the characteristics of Liaodong's military control.

When he arrived at Niuzhuang Post, the penultimate station in front of Liaoyang, Wang Fulin looked at Xiaobei's map from Mrs. Su, and immediately went to the port of Niuzhuang Post City to take a look. However, at the moment when this kind of river has thawed, there are only a few soldiers at the port, and the ships are only in groups of three or three. Thinking that Liaodong relied on sea transportation in the early Ming Dynasty, he didn't know how many ships sailed from Nanzhili and Taicang, transported to Liaodong by sea, and then sent to Niuzhuang Post through Sancha River, and then supplied to Liaodong everywhere, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

"In the early Ming Dynasty, it was sea transportation. Later, Liaodong military farmland was self-sufficient, and sea transportation had already stopped. By the early Jiajing year, the number of land in Liaodong was quite considerable. But later, more wars were gradually increasing, and the rents to be paid for military farmland were heavy. There were more deserters and countless land abandoned. At that time, Liaodong was insufficient in military use, and some people mentioned re-opening of sea transportation, but this was not so easy." When Li Rusong said this, he was quite a bit of a general who was a general who was instructive, but at the end he added, "Thanks to Zhang's office to do good governance after he took office in Liaodong, his father repeatedly defeated Mongolia and Jurchens. The people of Liaodong were not as unpredictable as before."

Wang Fulin knew that Li Rusong had no problem with the front half, but the words he praised Zhang Xueyan later seemed to be deliberately telling him, so he only called him.

Compared with the Europeans' enthusiasm for sailing in great seas, the Ming Dynasty today is truly conservative. Because Longqing opened the sea, merchant ships were finally able to openly go to the South and the West to go to Japan and even North Korea to conduct sea trade. However, the former treasure shipyard of the government had long been abandoned, and even the shipping of grain was completely stopped due to the last overturn.

In Niuzhuang Post City, a radius of 1,500 steps, everyone stayed for a night, then rested in Haizhou Acropolis City, and walked for a day and a half through Anshan Post. It was Liaoyang, where the Liaodong Dushi was located. This was once the highest authority in the entire Liaodong in the early years of Hongwu. However, with the Liaodong General Liaodong Governor in Guangning, although Liaoyang was still a first-class important town and the most prosperous place in the entire Liaodong, most of the commanders who were in the highest sequence in Liaodong in the past became the title of military general. Now, there are more than one general in Liaodong, and Cao Gui, the deputy general of Liaoyang, is one of them.

Cao Gui was highly valued by Li Chengliang. In just four or five years, promotion was like a rocket. Being promoted from a guerrilla guerrilla gangster all the way, it was a height that ordinary officers would never reach in their lifetime. He was a veteran subordinate of Li Chengliang. He was also highly praised by the governor of Liaodong Zhang Xueyan. Previously, when he was fighting Gule Village, he was ordered by Li Chengliang to lure the enemy into the middle and make achievements. Wang Gao fled from Gule Village and made a comeback. He was waiting to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Therefore, although this deputy general was promoted for less than a few months, he could be said to be able to sit steadily.

But on this day, he actually went out of the city to greet Li Rusong himself. When he saw people, he was always talking about the eldest son, like a family general.

Li Rusong found that Wang Fulin had been hiding behind a long time ago. After being stunned for a moment, he did not call anyone up. Because the conversations were very pleasant, he thought that he had almost completely touched Wang Fulin's character and so on. He thought that as long as he turned around and gave Wang Fulin a generous gift when he left Liaodong, this little official Wang who was very good at dealing with him would never be too troublesome. At this moment, he did not care about Cao Gui's humble behavior, but he had to remind people that there was also a third-class pass who passed the imperial examination last year, so he paid more attention to his words and actions.

Deputy General Cao agreed, but he didn't agree. Although the court held the power of life and death, it was far away from the capital. In this Liaodong Town, Li Chengliang was half the local emperor, and even Zhang Xueyan had to rely on Li Chengliang to command the soldiers to fight. What could a mere new Jinshi have? Even if there was, all civil officials from all over Liaodong would definitely fight against the enemy and put them down.

Otherwise, even civil officials will be in danger of fighting and are always worried about being implicated. How could they be comfortable and comfortable to follow Li Chengliang to fight melee like now?

Cao Gui was a little surprised when he learned that Li Rusong had only been staying in Liaoyang for one day, but he felt relieved when he thought that he would pass by Liaoyang when he returned home. After he ordered his personal soldiers to settle the people one by one, he left him alone, and he immediately said: "The eldest son came just right. The news he had just sent from Fushun said that Wang Gao's eldest son Atai was showing his whereabouts. He was recruiting his father's old subordinates. Should he be humble and mobilizing his troops and taking his nest again?"

"Look at it for now. There are so many clan chiefs who are older than him, with horses and swords and guns. Just watch him, a young boy, mess around. Wang Gao is gone, and it is time to replace him. You don't know your father's temper. You have to fight little by little, and your bones have to be bitten little by little, so that it will be interesting. After all, the battle for a lifetime is over. What are you doing in the rest of your life? Lying on the bed and sleeping with your wife? Or are you, the deputy general, planning to make some contributions and become a general in another place?"

Cao Gui immediately woke up and could not express his feelings in a hurry. Li Rusong just said casually, asking that many tribe leaders from the left and right guards of Jianzhou were in Fushun Ma City, and some even took the initiative to betray A Tai. He smiled and said, "Look, people want us to help them get rid of A Tai. In this way, even if Wang Gao's group was completely uprooted, why would it be? It's just a seedling that has not grown yet. If he can hold on to the surrounding tigers and wolves who are eyeing each other, he will be qualified to remove them in two years. The direction of his father's military is those real thorns, and everyone wants to fight, so how can he fight? Raise one crop and cut one crop, which is like rice, and if it doesn't grow up and cut it, how can he get it? Put it in the mouth of the Chinese officials in the court, and it will become us killing chickens with a ox knife."

"The great general is wise, the great master is wise." Cao Gui quickly flattered a few words, and now he had to talk about the situation in Tielingwei. As the place where the Li family made its fortune, although only Mrs. Su would go back once a year to worship the ancestral tombs, clean the ancestral halls, and appease the relatives, but all the generals under his command would pay more attention to it. After all, the Li family's ancestral tombs were there. They could not afford to be guilty of any mistakes. When he sent Li Rusong out of the house, he suddenly heard the eldest prince ask without replying.

"What instructions does Zhang's Ministry of Justice have recently given?"

Liaodong Governor Zhang Xueyan hasn't returned to Guangning recently? Why are she still asking me?

Cao Gui was only full of doubts, but Zhang Xueyan and Li Chengliang, the most top literary and military in Liaodong, were all things that cannot be offended at all. He had to rack his brains to think about what the governor had written about the governments in various places in Liaoyang. After a while, he barely caught two things. He said in an uncertain tone: "It seems that Zhang's office denounced Zhao Deming, the governor's office? It's not a big deal... By the way, Zhang's office asked the situation of the Mongolian surrendered people in the Liaoyang surrender. It was said that when Tuman sent people to trade with each other, he asked for surrender."

The court conferred the right-wing Altan Khan, but he never paid attention to the Tuman Khan of the left-wing Chahaner tribe. This strategy of controlling the West has made Liaodong both have to deal with the Jurchens and face the enemy's troubles since Longqing. It can be said that it is the place where the most military use in the world. Therefore, Zhang Xueyan had already agreed with Li Chengliang to report to the court to open a trade. Although he did not reply clearly, the tacitly agreed trade had been quietly opened in the border for many years. However, since the Ming Dynasty and Chahaner tribe did not have peace talks as the basis, the Tuman under the command of the Tuman often traded with each other while still invading, but even so, the pressure in Liaodong was still reduced by half as much as before.

But when I was awarded Altan Khan, I was determined to resist Chahaner Mongolia as a condition, which was helpless.

It seems to have nothing to do with what Zhang Xueyan asked Wang Fulin to do? Li Rusong thought so in his heart, so he ignored it. But when he returned to his room, he learned from the personal soldiers outside the door that Wang Fulin had already taken his wife out for a walk. In addition to a few followers, Shurhazi, who was holding a tiger cub. He learned that more than a dozen servants here followed him very carefully, and he had to sigh that this guy was really idle, so why would he stay in the officialdom in the future? But when he was about to enter the house, he heard a voice coming from behind him.

"Young Master, my younger brother is young and ignorant, and he speaks and does things based on his temperament. Can the Youth Master ask for love and bring people back?"

Um?

When Li Rusong turned around, he found that Nurhaci was standing with his hands down, his face full of worry. He remembered that he deliberately sold a few times in the middle of the trip to give people a chance to escape, but the other party not only did not run away, but instead reminded the servants of negligence in defense. Obviously, he knew the pros and cons at a young age, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why, are you afraid that someone will abuse your brother?"

I have been abused, so why should I be afraid?

When Nurhaci thought of seeing Shulhaci's swollen cheeks the last time, and then seeing him limp, his eyes no longer as if they were as lonely wolf and beast as before, but with a little more fear, Nurhaci finally couldn't help it. This brother who dared to fight and fight was his only arm at the moment. He was not broken in the gamble in the prisoner-of-war camp, but wouldn't it be a pity if he was broken in the hands of an unknown Han man? What's more, he was really worried about what Shulhaci was trapped.

In contrast, the design and gambling in the prisoner-of-war camp were not important, but if Shulhazi took the geographical city defenses they had secretly remembered from Gule Village to Guangning, they would be in trouble.
