Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 277 Golden State
Jinzhouwei is the southernmost guardhouse of the Ming Dynasty on the Liaodong Peninsula. Since the Ming Dynasty has always followed the policy of banning the sea, and the only navy ships in the Ming Dynasty are all anchored in Dengzhou, Jinzhouwei has no navy at all, or even None of the large ships.

The imperial court didn't pay much attention to it, and the location was too remote, so the former Jinzhou Guard households lived like beggars.

It was only after Ye Xun came to power in Liaodong that he gradually increased his investment in Jinzhou Guard, which gave the place a bit of an atmosphere of a military camp.

Jinzhouwei currently has more than 2000 military households, and the total population is less than [-]. There is no commander here, not even a general in charge of the army. There is only one elderly Qianhu who is in charge of managing here.

Ye Xun didn't inform anyone before he came. Today, he no longer needs to rely on Liwei to lead his subordinates. The reason why he came quietly is to see what the real Jinzhou Guard is like.

When he worked in the West Factory in the capital, he already learned about shipping through Zhang Weixian, so the future Jinzhouwei will be the focus of Liaodong's development and build a seaport integrating military and trade.

Just entered March, the severe winter is not far away, the cold and humid sea breeze blows on the body, even colder than the northwest wind in winter.

Ye Xun rode on the horse and looked around. There was smoke rising from a town in the distance, and most of the rest of the place was a vast expanse of white.

Some scouts had told Ye Xun that the Jinzhou Guard was right in front of it. There were no guards, no outposts, and there was not even a fence around it. Is this also called a guard?

Ye Xun shook his head secretly. He knew that military households in Daming had a hard life, especially in a place like Jinzhouwei where grandma didn't care and uncle didn't love, so he didn't intend to pursue the responsibility of the officers here.

Ye Xun ordered his bodyguards to find Qianhu from Jinzhouwei, while he himself led his bodyguards and rode straight to the beach.

The Liaodong Bend of the later generations is an ice-free port, but Ye Xun knew that the Ming Dynasty was still in the Little Ice Age, and he didn't know whether there would be an army near the sea, so he decided to go and see for himself.

Jinzhouwei's residence was not far from the seaside, and Ye Xun and his party arrived at the seaside in just over half an hour.

Sure enough, as Ye Xun expected, although there was the roar of the waves in the distance, there was still a layer of jagged ice nearby.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xun frowned again. The North Korean side should be at war soon, and a wharf must be built here as soon as possible to transport the North Korean people over.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a rush of horseshoes behind him. Looking back, he saw that besides his own guards, there were more than a dozen soldiers in Ming army uniforms following him. The oldest general in the front should be here top military officer.

When a group of people arrived not far from Ye Xun, they kicked off their horses one after another, and then quickly came to Ye Xun's horse and knelt down on one knee.

"Don't send Sun Biao of Jinzhou Wei Qianhu, see Ye Gonggong"

The Qianhu who spoke, named Sun Biao, was about fifty years old, not very tall, with a thick jacket on his body, and his face was full of dust. If he was not wearing a military uniform, it would be easy for Ye Xun to knock him Be a fisherman.

It's no wonder Sun Biao was in Jinzhouwei's situation, and Ye Xun didn't come to find fault, so he jumped off the horse to help Sun Biao.

"Get up! The imperial court left you here. It is the imperial court who is sorry for everyone, and it is also my negligence. Brothers, you have worked hard."

For ordinary soldiers and civilians, sometimes what they want is not necessarily a special reward. A thoughtful greeting can often have unexpected effects.

After hearing Ye Xun's words, Sun Biao's eyes turned red immediately, and he said with trembling lips, "Elder-in-law, I, we."

Ye Xun patted him on the shoulder, motioned him to stop talking, turned to face the sea, and said, "General Sun, do you know when the sea will be thawed? Is there a deep-water port there? Is there a shipyard nearby?"

Sun Biao obviously didn't expect Ye Xun to get into the topic so quickly, he was slightly taken aback, and immediately replied: "Back to my father-in-law, if you want a ship to dock, you don't need to wait for the sea water to thaw. There is a harbor thirty miles south of here where Qianliao can dock." Big ship, but I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint my father-in-law, we don’t have a shipyard here at all, but there is one in Dengzhou.”

It was similar to what Ye Xun thought, and continued: "I plan to build a shipyard here, and I need a large number of shipbuilders. The wages are three times that of the Dengzhou Shipyard. If you can do this for me, you will be the No. [-] shipbuilder in Jinzhou." a magistrate"

Sun Biao was taken aback. The court explicitly banned shipbuilding. Did Eunuch Ye get the court's approval for doing this?

What else is the prefect of Jinzhou?According to what Eunuch Ye meant, it was obvious that Jinzhouwei was going to be turned into the capital of Jinzhou. Although the magistrate was much higher than Qianhu's official position, it still felt like listening to a story?

It's not that Sun Biao has never heard of Ye Xun's deeds, but the news from Jinzhou Wei is too closed, so that he doesn't know much about this miraculous Eunuch Ye.

Ye Xun turned his head and said to Sun Biao very seriously: "General Sun, this is your opportunity, grasp it, descendants of Fuyin, if you find it difficult, I will not make it difficult for you, but the command of the Jinzhou Guard will not make it difficult for you." I have to change, my time is limited, from here to the return to the Golden State Guard garrison, it is your time to make a decision."

Hearing Ye Xun's words, Sun Biao couldn't help but look bitter. Anyone is willing to get promoted and make a fortune, but the question is still the next day. If he follows Ye Xun, if the court blames him in the future, will he have good fruit to eat?
But if he doesn't do it, will this Eunuch Ye turn his face?After all, the eunuch's reputation is not very good, and Ye Xun left him too little time to think about it.

Ye Xun didn't urge him either. What he needed was an aggressive and aggressive official. This Sun Biao was really old. If Sun Biao refused to follow him, he could only be sidelined.

Half an hour's journey was not far away, and Ye Xun and his party, accompanied by Sun Biao, returned to the Jinzhou Wei garrison soon.

After entering the garrison, Ye Xun realized that the situation inside was even worse than he had imagined. Except for the garrison, which was decent, there was not even a decent house in the entire military town.

There are two hundred guards around Ye Xun. With so many people at once, it is difficult to find a place to live.

Ye Xun didn't make it difficult for Sun Biao, and he was never the one who likes to enjoy himself. He immediately ordered the guards to set up a tent, and Sun Biao was only responsible for burning firewood and other things for fire.

The nearest to Jinzhou Guard is Guangning. After settling in, Ye Xun immediately ordered Zhang Qi, who was stationed in Guangning, to deliver various supplies to Jinzhou Guard.

At the same time, Sun Biao was ordered to recruit people in the military town. He had to improve the living conditions here first. Food and clothing were the top priority. Only when people's hearts were stable would they be in the mood to do other things.

While he was busy, Sun Biao did not tell Ye Xun whether he would accept the official position of Jinzhou prefect.

Ye Xun knew that this was not an acquiescence, but a silent confrontation, that is to say, Sun Biao did not intend to cooperate with Ye Xun.

Ye Xun also tacitly didn't mention this matter again. He just came here and doesn't know the people here very well, and this matter is only suitable for local people to do it.
