After crossing the Xi River, the terrain becomes much flatter, and the speed of the riders obviously increases.
"Sir, there are 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 squinted 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 anymore. 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 breasts still hurt.
I thought about how I often rode horses in Ganzhou. After living in the capital for a few years, my breasts were getting bigger and bigger, so I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Especially after meeting my husband, the pair of breasts 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, it still doesn’t matter.
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. He washed them with hot water last night and a large piece of his skin fell off. He almost shed tears.
Already.
I used ointment today and used a special device to lift my legs up, but the pain was still tight.
If I had known earlier, I should have taken the initiative to ask Ying to stay with my second concubine You, Jin Chuaner, and Xiangling. Why bother trying to be so strong?
Feng Ziying held the horse slightly to slow 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 large. It is obviously the territory of our Yongping Prefecture, but the Kaiping Youtun Guards 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.
All of them are listed 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 Shahe River is not as good as Jiangnan, it is irrigated. It just 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 ready 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 Yongping Prefecture governed Lulong County. Yongping Guard, Lulong Guard, and Dongsheng Zuowei were all established.
In Lulong County, Yongping Prefecture and Lulong County are overwhelmed.
Fortunately, after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the original seven guards were abolished, and only the Kaiping Youtun Guard, which was a garrison guard, and the Funing Guard, which supported the front lines of Jianchang Camp and Yanhe Camp, were retained. In addition, the Western Liaoning Corridor was not
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 Mansion. I will definitely not have much 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 was also accompanied by three people, who were the experts 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 have to offend people, and if you offend people, especially the wealthy and powerful people in these places, people will not give up even if they are anxious to jump over the wall. If they are not sure, they will take risks, so he has already started from Yangzhou, Xuzhou and even
Looking for recruits in the capital area.
Many years of dealing with people in the world have made Wu Yaoqing famous along the canal. Many people know that he is the staff of the Salt Patrol Censor. After Lin Ruhai passed away, Wu Yaoqing fell silent for a while. Now that he is active again, he naturally attracts
There are many characters who are just trying to make ends meet.
It is said that in the world of martial arts, people eat a lot of wine and eat meat, and life is very comfortable. However, only those in the industry know how difficult it is to make a meal.
The pressure from the government, the hostility of colleagues, and the pressure of life all make it impossible for a Jianghu sect to survive if it does not have one or two decent regular businesses and sufficient government support.
As for those who run orders and gang up on side projects, that's a different matter. It's just that you have to face ruthless sniping from the government and those colleagues who have close ties with the government at any time.
Three of them were recruited by Wu Yaoqing from Xuzhou and Yangzhou, one was a disciple of Xuzhou Hongyi Sect, and the other two were disciples of 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 Chuaner, Xiangling and others.
Almost 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 Governor Ji Liao, 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 magistrate 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 belongs to the important area of Gyeonggi Province. It is right at the choke point from the north to Liaodong, and the place where the seaside road must pass. From the capital, you can go to the east lane and pass through Tongzhou.
For example, within Yongping Prefecture, pass through Luanzhou, Lulong, then go north from Funing through Shanhaiguan, enter the Liaoxi Corridor, and finally arrive in 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 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 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 with 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, Ji Town, which once became the largest military town in the Nine Borders, was established for this purpose.
Within the territory of Yongping Town alone, it consists of Songpengying, Xifengkou, Taipingzhaiying, Yanheying, Taitouying, Shimenzhaiying, Shanhaiguan, Wuying and countless passes in the west.
As the first line of defense, Jianchang Camp serves as the entire territory of Yongping Prefecture and is also the mobile force on the east line of Ji Town. In addition, further to the west, as the total mobile force of Ji Town, the Ji Town General Military Mansion is located in Santun Camp.
The Funing Guard and the 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 former Ming Dynasty, but because the history of the former 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, in terms of the arrangement of forts and mobile forces along the Great Wall, Ji Town still maintained a balanced situation. In view of the capriciousness of the Chahar tribe, the Great Zhou Dynasty never underestimated Chahar when strengthening the defense deployment against the Jurchens.
Therefore, in a sense, Jizhen took care of both. 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. Even the color of the army has 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 Battalion 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 hurry up. 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 in the inn is easy.
"Yao Qing, how is the security here?"
Feng Ziying looked at the Acropolis getting closer and closer, and 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, because this place not only provides various military supplies for the Jianchang Camp, but also provides Jianchang Camp with all kinds of military supplies."
The town's military headquarters 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. Being able to send troops from the Santun Camp specifically showed the importance of the Kaiping Youtun Guards. She had underestimated the importance of this place.
