Chapter 13

In the ninth year of Hongwu, Laizhou was upgraded from a prefecture to a prefecture, governing two prefectures and five counties, namely Ye County (the residence of the prefecture), Pingdu prefecture (governing Wei county and Changyi) and Jiaozhou (governing Gaomi and Jimo). Laizhou is one of the three eastern prefectures, and Liu Bu's Fushan Qianhu health station is in Jimo county.

Jimo has a long history. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Jimo belonged to Laiyi. During the Han and Jin Dynasties, it belonged to Qingzhou; In the Tang and Ming Dynasties, Jimo belonged to Laizhou Prefecture.

Because it is located in the key place of Shandong Peninsula, many historical events have taken place, such as Tian Dan skillfully setting up a fire cow array in Jimo, breaking the Yan army, recovering more than 70 cities lost by the state of Qi, being appointed as the prime minister by the king of Qi Xiang and granted the prince of Anping. For example, in the early Western Han Dynasty, five hundred righteous men in Tianheng were rich, dignified and unyielding. They died on Tianheng island for loyalty and righteousness. Sima Qian greatly praised them in the historical records.

On the map, Dengzhou and Laizhou areas, as part of the extension of Shandong to the Yellow Sea, are the coastal defense outposts of a province in Shandong. Shandong serves as a barrier for the capital area. Therefore, the importance of Denglai area to Gongwei Beijing is self-evident. Liu Yuanshan saw his doubts and smiled: "the current imperial court is rich and easy to do things?" he took out a set of documents and seals. It turned out that he had already sent people to the capital to handle all the formalities for Liu bu. Liu Bu doesn't have to go to the capital. That's the advantage of having money.

Liu Bu was quite surprised at the operation and said, "thank you for your care."

Liu Yuanshan said, "Uncle Wei has set up a reception banquet to receive the wind for you. By the way, he will introduce you to the current figures in Wei one by one."

Liu Bu said, "thank you, uncle."

Their team entered Aoshan city and then entered the headquarters of the guard station.

Aoshanwei is a coastal defense city. It integrates the army, the government and the people. It is not only an important defense city along the coast, but also an important military and political place along the coast. According to the words at that time, "get on the horse to manage the army and get off the horse to manage the people". Its status is very important and its grade is also very high. The commander of the guard is at the grade of the third grade, which is equivalent to the division of the army and the local prefecture level city. It not only has all kinds of military functions, but also has perfect civil management functions. It has a considerable administrative area under its jurisdiction. In addition, it also has a military and civilian settlement system, and its financial functions are directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of war and the Ministry of household,

Aoshan has been built for three times. The Acropolis of Aoshan is neat, large-scale and square. The walls are built on both sides and compacted with loess in the middle. There are four gates in the city, and there are gatehouses above the door openings.

The cross street in the city runs through the East, West, North and south of the city. The street is spacious, like a chessboard, and the layout is symmetrical. Later, with the increasing population, there are East Street, West Street and North Street residential areas outside the city. The city is divided into East, West, South and North streets, with health department, school palace, experience department, warehouse, etc.

There is a martial arts training ground in the east of the city, with generals and halls. Outside the city, there are other religious buildings, such as community altar, wind altar, cloud altar, thunder altar, rain altar, Xian Nong Tan, Town God's Temple, Guan Yu Temple, Xuanwu temple, three official Temple, three Temple, Ma God Temple, Guanyin Pavilion, Fu Shou temple, Chaoyang temple and other religious buildings. There are Wenlin square, Zhushi square and other square table buildings; There are Tongji Bridge, Changping bridge, Yinghe bridge, Xiaoshi bridge and other bridge buildings.

During the Yongle period, the imperial court set up camps along the coast of Shandong as the intermediate military command of Si Hewei.

There are three camps in Shandong: one is Jimo camp (Jimo), the other is Wendeng camp (Wendeng), and the third is Dengzhou camp (Penglai). The three battalions have jurisdiction over all 24 guard stations in Shandong, i.e. Mo battalions have jurisdiction over four guard stations including Anton guard station, Lingshan guard station, Aoshan guard station and DASONG guard station, and six thousand guard stations including Shijiu, Xiahe, Jiaozhou, Fushan, xiongya and Dashan.

There are military officers in the camp, such as the commander in chief (commander, the third grade), commander tongzhi (from the third grade), commander General (the fourth grade), etc.

Make the commander in chief of the battalion and take charge of the affairs of the battalion together with the commander. In this way, a military system for battalions, guards and stations to defend Japanese pirates was successively established and improved in the east of Shandong Peninsula in the early Ming Dynasty. Under the condition of underdeveloped transportation and communication at that time, each battalion could quickly convey military orders nearby, so as to facilitate the timely response of guards and stations to deal with emergencies at sea.

Liu Yuanshan, as a third-class instigator, sounds quite big at first glance. However, in the Ming Dynasty, in recent decades, Wen Guiwu is cheap, and the military officers have been suppressed very badly, resulting in the saying that "there is no County commander under the general army, and there is a general army under the county commander's account".

Liu Yuanshan, who is familiar with the command of the third grade, is not small, and the military scope under his jurisdiction is not small, but he is not a figure in front of Jimo county magistrate. The other party just regards him as a slightly richer businessman.

However, in aoshanwei, he is the only one who can stand in the way. No one can control him. He is the local emperor here. He doesn't give a banquet for Liu here, and no one can control it.

A total of fifty people gathered at the gate of the guard station. Qi Qi welcomed Liu not to come, mainly from officers above the head of the two David stations.

Liu Yuanqiao spent so much money to make his cousin become the commander of Jimo camp. The main reason is to include their hometown in their own sphere of influence and legally have their own armed forces. The Liu family is almost the boss of this area. As the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Bu's arrival is naturally a role of attention and welcome.
