Chapter 170(2/2)
Gu Zheng
Bringing foreigners into Liaodong without permission will be punishable by death.
You've done a good job. With the court's qualifications, you can bring foreigners into Liaodong in an open and fair manner.
You can be a prefect, all right, but I don’t know if cutting off your fat head will make those confused officials more alert."
"Commander...!
Spare your life, spare your life!
Xianguan..., Xianguan really doesn’t know what’s going on.
There are more than 2,000 subordinate officials and yamen servants in Shanhaiguan.
Even if I have eight heads, I can't see them all.
These things... I really don't know about these things."
The prefect couldn't even cry anymore. He really didn't know about this matter. It was all done by those people below.
"Commander...!" When Zhang Laohao heard that Brother Li was actually a commander, he immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.
Li Xiao glanced at Zhang Laohao, who was soaked in wetness, and waved his hand irritably: "Tug him away!"
The two soldiers dragged the unconscious Zhang Laohao down like a dead dog.
"I am a commander-in-chief. Soldiers cannot win the battle, so I want to ask the officer for questioning.
You are the prefect of Shanhaiguan. If someone under your command gets into trouble, do you still want me to solve the case for you and find them one by one?
What do you do for food on weekdays?
How long has this thing been going on? How many foreigners have entered Liaodong?
Are there any spies among these people?
If the secret is really leaked, can you recover by killing your whole family?"
The prefect was speechless and just knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Detain him and don't let him die.
Under the supervision of the Ministry of Supervision, all foreigners entering Liaodong will be beheaded!"
Li Xiao gave the order with a cold face!
When the prefect heard that he was not beheaded on the spot, he breathed a sigh of relief temporarily and lay limply on the ground.
"Let's go!" Li Xiao shouted. After this terrible incident, his good mood when he came out was gone.
"Bring it here!" Li Lin walked up to his "brother-in-law" and stretched out his hand.
"What?"
This "brother-in-law" obviously didn't react and looked at Li Lin with his whole body trembling.
"Money!" Li Lin couldn't help but put his hand into his arms and took out his banknotes and silver dollars.
Pointing at those yellow-haired chai girls: "Return!"
"ah……!"
When Li Xiao boarded the airship again, it was almost dark.
The airship flew north again. Li Lin and Zhao Liangdong were so hungry that they did not dare to eat on the airship.
Dad is unhappy now, and no one dares to make him feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Shanhaiguan is not far from Jinzhou. After a short flight, we saw the brightly lit Jinzhou City in front of us.
Li Xiao looked through the porthole and saw the bright Jinzhou City below, which seemed to be a lot bigger than the last time he came.
Today's Jinzhou is no longer the Jinzhou city that was ruined by Nurhaci and looked like a military camp.
The current Jinzhou City has a population of more than one million years.
The city wall made of blue bricks has been completely demolished, and the entire city is almost newly built.
There are matchbox-shaped buildings everywhere, and there are bright street lights in the middle of the road.
On the spacious road, you can still see cars driving continuously.
Even after the airship lowered its height, a large number of people riding bicycles could still be seen.
Because the original Jinzhou City was not big, it was simply torn down and rebuilt.
Then, Jinzhou City spread out like a big pie, getting bigger and bigger.
Because it is a rebuilt city, all the buildings on the streets are made of reinforced concrete.
The streets have also been rearranged and planned, and are no longer as chaotic as before, with factories and residential areas mixed together.
The factories in Jinzhou are all located in the north of Jinzhou, towards the Daling River.
It is called an industrial area, and every morning you can see a large number of workers riding bicycles and carrying lunch boxes to work.
The city is entirely a residential area.
The store sells a wide variety of products, and children line up to go to school every day.
Various restaurants and wine shops are doing booming business.
The people live and work in peace and contentment in the city, without disturbing each other in the industrial area.
There is far less of the contradiction between industrial areas and residential areas mixed together in later generations!
This is the benefit of urban planning. Someone once proposed to retain the Jinzhou City Wall.
As a result, Sun Yuanhua vetoed it with one sentence. In this day and age, city walls have no purpose other than blocking traffic.
Then, Jinzhou City became the most modern city in the Ming Dynasty and even in the world.
The airship landed at the airship landing site. Wang Tingzhang, the prefect of Jinzhou, was waiting at the airship landing site early.
This era is already an information society.
Especially Liaodong, which has the highest telephone penetration in the world!
What happened in Shanhaiguan had already reached his ears through the phone.
He knew that the prefect of Shanhaiguan was almost doomed.
Although this commander-in-chief is called commander-in-chief, in name he only manages the troops but not the people.
But everyone in Ming Dynasty knew that this person was actually the emperor.
I didn't dare to stay in the capital until I saw the Chief Minister. I visited various infrastructure construction sites all day like migrant workers.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Sun Yuanhua is afraid of competing for power with the Marshal's younger brother.
But an official of Wang Tingzhang's level cannot be relied upon at all.
After the airship landed, the first people to greet them were the two brothers Xu Erjue and Xu Ermo.
After meeting in the capital the day before yesterday, Li Xiao said he would come to Jinzhou to inspect the military industry, but he didn't expect to arrive so soon.
"See the Marshal!"
"You have so many things to do, why bother coming to pick me up in person?
Let's go to your territory." Li Xiao laughed and teased the Xu brothers.
The two brothers smiled bitterly in their hearts, "Now that your giant Buddha is here, who dares not to follow it?"
"I don't know, Commander, do you want to go to the Aviation Research Institute or the Jinzhou Research Institute?"
"Go to Jinzhou Research Institute!" Li Xiao thought for a moment and still wanted to go to Jinzhou Research Institute first.
"Wang Tingzhang, the prefect of Jinzhou, meets the commander-in-chief!"
"Oh, Wang Tingzhang.
I know you, from the First Division, have made your mark. I remember you were a battalion commander at that time.
Now they are all working as prefects!
Jinzhou has done a good job. After you are done with the research institute, you can take me for a tour."
"The commander-in-chief still remembers his humble position!
In my humble position, I kept in mind the commander's teachings and did not embarrass our Liao army." Wang Tingzhang was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
It is not easy to be remembered by the commander-in-chief, but the commander-in-chief still has not forgotten his brother who came from the old Liao Army.
"hehe!
You are all those who have shed blood for our country, and you will not be forgotten.
As agreed, when we get to your place, you will have to treat us.
The old Shangguan is here and I will give you a good meal."
