Chapter 869 Ji Zijuan takes office
After crossing the Xi River, the terrain became much flatter, and the speed of the riders obviously increased.
"Sir, there are still about ten miles ahead of us where the Zhongtun Guard Camp is." Wu Yaoqing pinched the horse's belly slightly, and the green horse suddenly galloped and caught up with Feng Ziying's Zaoliu.
Feng Ziying narrowed her eyes slightly and looked forward, "Then we won't be able to make it to Luanzhou tonight?"
"I'm afraid it won't work. I don't dare to go fast at night, and it's easy to hurt the horse. Since you're not in a hurry, sir..." Wu Yaoqing smiled and said, "Miss You and Baoxiang can't bear it either."
Sanjie You blushed. Although she was dressed in men's clothing and her inner bra was specially made of silk to hold up her breasts, she was trembling during the past two days and her **** still hurt.
I thought about how I used to ride horses a lot in Ganzhou. After living in the capital for a few years, my **** were getting bigger and bigger, so I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Especially after following my husband, the pair of **** seem to have grown again. This is what my husband said, which makes my husband like it very much. But the disadvantage comes when I go out. Even if it is carefully wrapped with silk brocade, this I still feel uncomfortable when the horse starts running.
Baoxiang had never suffered such a crime. He rode a black mule and his legs were really hurt. I washed them with hot water last night and a large piece of skin fell off. I almost shed tears. .
Today, I used ointment and raised my legs with special tools, but the pain was still tight.
If I had known earlier, I should have taken the initiative to invite Ying to stay with Second Aunt You and the two sisters Jinchuaner and Xiangling. Why bother trying to be so strong?
Feng Ziying slightly restrained the horse and slowed down the strong horse, "That's okay, then let's rest for a night at Kaiping Youtunwei."
“Sir, although Kaiping Youtunwei is a military camp, it is not open to the public. Even the area near the Weitun camp is not open to outsiders...” Wu Yaoqing explained carefully.
"The territory of Ji Town is really big. It is obviously the territory of our Yongping Prefecture, but the Kaiping Youtunwei has only a few thousand people, and the family members are only less than 10,000. It can cover the entire west of Shahe River. They are all classified as military garrison controlled areas. Isn’t this a bit too overbearing? The land we walked along was almost all wasteland. Even though the land on both sides of the Shah River is not as good as Jiangnan, there is no risk of irrigation, but it lacks repairs and the river is prone to flooding. , as long as we are willing to cultivate land and build water conservancy projects, this area can become fertile farmland." Feng Ziying asked with a half-smile.
Wu Yaoqing couldn't answer this topic, and he was almost going to slander him. If he wanted to object, he should go to your father to argue. This Ji Town is under the jurisdiction of Ji Liao Governor-General.
This is a problem left over from the past. As early as the Ming Dynasty, Yongping Prefecture was the seat of the Seven Guards. Not to mention Luanzhou, even if Yongping Prefecture governed Lulong County, Yongping Guard, Lulong Guard, and Dongsheng Zuowei were all established. In Lulong County, the pressure is so great that Yongping Prefecture and Lulong County can hardly breathe.
Fortunately, after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the original seven guards were abolished, leaving only the Kaiping Youtun Guard as a garrison, and the Funing Guard supporting the front lines of Jianchang Camp and Yanhe Camp. In addition, the Western Liaoning Corridor cannot be used. The indispensable choke point - Shanhaiwei.
"Okay, Yao Qing, I just want to say this. This is the regulation of the imperial court, and we can only accept and obey it. However, I am a fellow magistrate of Yongping Prefecture. I will definitely not have enough time to deal with Jizhen on behalf of the local government in the future. Young Master, you have to think about it carefully." Feng Ziying waved her hand, indicating that Wu Yaoqing didn't mind.
In addition to the four people, Wu Yaoqing is also accompanied by three people, who are the good players recruited by Wu Yaoqing.
From the time Feng Ziying arranged all his affairs, Wu Yaoqing knew that his master would never be as simple as spending a few years in Yongping Mansion to get gold. He just wanted to do something in these few years, and Great appetite.
If you want to do something, you can't help but offend people, and offending people, especially the wealthy and powerful people in these places, will not give up even if you are anxious to jump over the wall. If you are not sure, you will take risks, so he has already started from Yangzhou, Xuzhou and even Looking for recruits in the capital area.
It is said that people in the world live a comfortable life with a big bowl of wine and a lot of meat, but only those in the industry know how difficult it is to make a bowl of rice.
The government's suppression, the hostility of peers, and the pressure of life all make it impossible for a Jianghu sect to survive without one or two decent fixed businesses and sufficient government support.
As for those who work alone to make money, that's another matter. It's just that you will face ruthless sniping at any time by the government and those colleagues who have close ties with the government.
Three people were recruited by Wu Yaoqing from Xuzhou and Yangzhou. One was a disciple of the Hongyi Sect in Xuzhou, and the other two were members of the Qiushui Sword Sect.
There are still a few people who stayed in the capital city and will come to Yongping with Second Sister You, Jin Chuan'er, Xiang Ling and others.
Nearly all Jianghu sects could not refuse Wu Yaoqing's recruitment.
Although Wu Yaoqing no longer has the fat censor behind him, but after learning that his new boss is the son of the governor of Jiliao, many people will naturally think of the vast area of Liaodong. No matter what kind of business they are, they cannot avoid it. If Jiliao Governor's Mansion can get online, there will naturally be opportunities in the future.
Not to mention that this young scholar leader in the North who is not yet 18 years old has been appointed as the Tongzhi of Yongping Prefecture of the fifth rank.
Maybe Yongping Mansion is just a lower house that doesn’t know about 500,000 people, but it is an important place in Gyeonggi Province. It is right at the choke point from the north to Liaodong. It is a must-pass by the seaside road. From the capital, it passes through the east lane and passes through Tongzhou. For example, in Yongping Prefecture, it passes through Luanzhou and Lulong, then goes north from Funing through Shanhaiguan, enters the Liaoxi Corridor, and finally reaches Liaodong.
It can be said that under the current situation of poor sea routes, the original Gubei Road and Lulong Road have been abandoned, because not only are these two roads long and difficult to travel, but they also need to pass through the areas controlled by the Mongolian left wing, especially Chaha The Er people have always been arrogant, and merchants who want to cross the border will have a narrow escape. Therefore, starting from the Ming Dynasty, Gubei Road and Lulong Road are no longer the main routes from the Central Plains to Liaodong, and have given way to Banghai Road.
After entering the Great Zhou Dynasty, this road became the lifeline between the Central Plains and Liaodong, from Xifengkou, Qingshankou, Hehekou to Taolingkou, Jielingkou, Yiyuankou, Jiumenshuikou (a piece of stone), and finally When arriving at Shanhaiguan, the towering Great Wall became a barrier for the Great Zhou Dynasty to protect the safe passage between the entire Central Plains and Liaodong. Under the protection of this Great Wall, the Banghai Road went north from Shanhaiguan and connected the entire Liaodong and the Central Plains through the Liaoxi Corridor.
In order to counter the threat to the front line from the Mongolian right wing headed by the Chahar people, Jizhen, which once became the largest military town in the nine-sided town, was established for this purpose.
Within Yongping Town alone, it consists of Songpengying, Xifengkou, Taipingzhaiying, Yanheying, Taitouying, Shimenzhaiying, Shanhaiguan, Wuying and two passes in the west, and countless Baozhai passes. The first line of defense is Jianchang Camp, which serves as the entire territory of Yongping Prefecture and is also the mobile force on the east line of Ji Town. In addition, further west, where the Ji Town General Military Mansion is located in Santun Camp as the total mobile force of Ji Town, The Funing Guard and Kaiping Youtun Guard behind it can provide support, forming three chain lines of defense that are bright and dark.
The defense system of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Yongping was inherited from the previous Ming Dynasty, but because the history of the previous Ming Dynasty ended in the early 16th century, and in the next hundred years, the Mongolian tribes on the northern grasslands rose and fell, and the Duoyan Three Guards also disappeared. On the contrary, The Jurchens in the Northeast took advantage of the situation to rise, so the focus of defense gradually turned to the Jurchens.
However, Ji Town still maintained a balanced situation in terms of the arrangement of forts and mobile forces along the Great Wall. In view of the capriciousness of the Chahar tribe, the Great Zhou Dynasty never underestimated Chahar when strengthening the defense deployment against the Jurchens. The threat of the Er people, so Jizhen took care of both in a sense. On the one hand, it wanted to prevent the Chahar people from invading southward, and on the other hand, it wanted to become the most powerful backing for Liaodong to resist the Jianzhou Jurchens.
Although Kaiping Youtunwei is under the jurisdiction of Jizhen and nominally supports Jianchang Camp, as time goes by, it has gradually become a settlement that is half army and half civilian. The color of the army has even become very weak. Some kind of In a sense, once the Mongolian tribes in the north or the Jurchens invade the border, the strength of the Jianchang Camp needs to be supplemented. The Funing Guard will first be replenished with new soldiers, while the Kaiping Youtun Guard will mainly provide craftsmen, husbands, ordnance, mules and horses. , vehicles and other logistical supplements.
The group of people slowed down along the post road. Since they were not in a hurry, there was no need to rush any further. They stopped and headed to Kaiping Youtunwei. As long as they did not enter the Acropolis, it was quite prosperous outside the Acropolis. Looking for a place? Resting at the inn is easy.
“Yao Qing, how is the security here?”
Feng Ziying looked at the Acropolis getting closer and closer. Some scattered houses had appeared on both sides of the post road, including some tents similar to yurts. Dirty sheep and grazing hounds could also be seen.
"This side is fine. There is a hundred elite cavalrymen from the Youtun Guard side, who were sent from the Santun Camp. This is because not only does this place provide various military supplies for the Jianchang Camp, but it also provides Jianchang Camp with various military supplies. The Town General Military Mansion provides all kinds of military supplies, so we attach great importance to it." Wu Yaoqing spent several months exploring the situation here and has become quite familiar with it. At least he knows these situations well.
"Oh?" Feng Ziying was slightly surprised. The fact that the Santun Camp could send troops here was enough to show the importance of the Kaiping Youtun Guards. He had underestimated the importance of this place.
