Chapter 201

The system of province, government, state and county implemented in the Ming Dynasty, Dengzhou belonged to Shandong, and the Government Secretary was announced. In the ninth year of Hongwu, Dengzhou was promoted from the state under Laizhou government to Dengzhou government, governing Penglai, governing Ninghai, Penglai, Huang, Fushan, Qixia, Zhaoyuan, Laiyang and Wendeng counties. Since then, the situation of dongdeng and Xilai has been formed.

Governor Denglai was established here in the first year of apocalypse. Governor yuan Keli once trained sailors here, and Denglai became an important customs town.

The reason why Dengzhou was promoted to the state government: at that time, both Dengzhou and Laizhou were close to the sea, which was an important road between Korea and Japan. It was not necessary to build a government and increase troops and guards, which was not enough to be a town. "

The Shandong Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has a long coastline of about 2500 kilometers. The long coastline and the geographical environment of its eastward outburst into the sea make Shandong's coastal defense extremely difficult and easy to become the target of Japanese pirates. Among the six prefectures in Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Jinan and Qingzhou have coastal areas.

Shandong is outside Yanzhou and Dongchang. When it is dangerous on one side of the sea, it is also in the northeast of Jinan; When the two sides are in danger, the north and southeast of Qingzhou Prefecture are also in danger; When there are risks on three sides, the East, South and north of Denglai and Laifu are also bounded by the sea, so they are particularly vulnerable to attacks from the sea, and the Japanese are particularly serious.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Yiqi island and Duma Island were also nests occupied by Japanese pirates. For Japanese pirates, starting from Japan, they could easily cross the sea to the Korean Peninsula, and then cross the sea to land in Shandong and other places, and turn to the coast of the Ming Dynasty. This route was undoubtedly the choice with the highest safety and the lowest cost under the navigation conditions at that time, so Shandong became the first place to bear the brunt.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the situation was even more serious. Japanese pirates took advantage of the turbulence and instability of the rivers and mountains in the early Ming Dynasty, and frequently plundered the coastal areas of Shandong and Zhejiang since the second year of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Coastal defense has become a major issue related to the stability of political power in the early Ming Dynasty. Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang established eleven guards and six institutes here.

However, there are many places to be managed by the Shandong capital division (also in Liaodong and the whole northeast region). The command makes the division work a lot, which has made it too busy to take into account the state of coastal defense. Therefore, in the sixth year of Yongle, Chengzu added a Japanese capital division in Dengzhou water city to command the troops of Shandong coastal Garrison and fight against Japanese pirates. Therefore, Shandong coastal defense has been gradually improved, and the highest commander is the Dengzhou general army.

Chengzu Zhu Di successively established three major coastal defense battalions in Jimo, Dengzhou and Wendeng: Jimo camp, Dengzhou camp and Wendeng camp.

Each of the three major battalions of coastal defense has a specific defense scope, i.e. Mo camp assists in defending DASONG, Aoshan, Lingshan and Anton guards, Dengzhou camp assists in defending Deng, Lai guards and Qingzhou Zuo guards, and Wendeng camp assists in defending Ninghai, Weihai, Chengshan and Jinghai guards. The establishment of the three major battalions has effectively enhanced Shandong's coastal defense capacity. The three battalions support each other to form a regional combat force, which is no longer fighting alone.

The famous man Zhou Rudi said, "in Yongle, the three battalions of Mo and others immediately control the 24 guard stations, so the place where they are built is the same as the guard stations they control. (about 200 miles)

The full name of Shandong preparation for Japanese capital is "governor Denglai coastal troops and horses preparation for Japanese capital command department", which is set up in Dengzhou water city.

Dengzhou water city is a natural protective port with high terrain. It can attack, retreat and defend with ease. It is also protected by an inland garrison. It can be called a mountain and sea pass against enemies at sea. Shandong Weidu division is a subordinate military organization of Shandong Du command division. It is a Xingdu Division. It governs three battalions, two and fourteen garrisons. At first, it was under the jurisdiction of Shandong Du division. Later, it was under the jurisdiction of governor Denglai instead of governor Denglai 。

Dengzhou is a provincial capital division, one level lower than the provincial capital division, so even his chief soldier is one level lower. He is a local chief soldier, and Liu Zeqing is a provincial chief soldier.

In fact, the commander in chief of the Daming army now has the same title as the commander of later generations, which means that the commander of the municipal army, the commander of the metropolitan military region, the commander of the provincial military region, and Zheng Zhibao are equivalent to the commander of the metropolitan military region. Although they are not as powerful as Liu Zeqing, because the place he is in charge of is alone and dominates the region, he has considerable power and can be right Fang competed with each other, but it was under the direct control of the governor. He was not completely in charge of his own family. Of course, Liu Zeqing was also under the control of someone and couldn't fly.

This is the origin of Dengzhou general army and the scope of his jurisdiction.

Governor Denglai was an official in charge of coordinating all the forces of the three East houses under the order of the imperial court. Naturally, the number one general under him was the chief soldier of the Dengzhou Xingdu department.

At the beginning of the country, he was also a powerful man with heavy troops. However, with the collapse of the military system of the Ming Dynasty and the collapse of the military system of Weisuo, there were no available soldiers at all.

For example, before the collapse of the previous system, each of the three camps and 24 guard stations under its jurisdiction could guard one side. However, during the Jiajing period, there were not many troops that could fight. They were almost the three camps, but the three camps also had their own mountains.

For example, the rescue of Jimo is now controlled by the Liu family. Since the Liu family took control, there has been no Dengzhou general army at all, and Dengzhou camp has suffered heavy casualties, because Dengzhou is the focus in the Wuqiao mutiny. After being occupied by the rebels for two years, Dengzhou camp has completely ended, either dead or defected with Kong Youde.

The Wendeng camp is almost the same. It can be said that after the Wuqiao mutiny, the only three camps are over.

However, Liu Bu quickly rebuilt Jimo camp with strong financial resources, but after the reconstruction, Jimo camp is no longer a part of Dengzhou Xingdu department. If his father-in-law is the chief soldier of Dengzhou, he will come to listen to it for the first time.

But what is surprising is that Liu Bu did not appear here at Zheng Zhibao's inauguration ceremony, nor did he congratulate his father-in-law for the first time.

But he himself also set out with Zheng zining to watch the war on the sea.

However, several important generals under him came to Zheng Zhibao to report for duty.

In the past, Gao ruowang, the general soldier, could be said to have almost no real name. There were not many troops he could control. He also had a lot of miscellaneous soldiers, all of whom ate dry meals.

The most powerful Jimo camp is under the control of the Liu family, and Liu bugen doesn't bird him.

Even Chen YingYuan received news that Liu Jiajun expanded during the disaster relief. So far, it is said that the number of their Ding army is no less than 4000, which has been regarded as the most powerful force in Denglai area.

However, not to mention Gao ruowang, even Chen YingYuan could not control or command the army, because being a soldier was food, and they had always been in arrears with their food and salaries, and Jimo camp did not ask him. In short, the two sides were separated and they controlled the army themselves.

But after Zheng Zhibao became the chief of Dengzhou army, he was in charge of the Xingdu department. He was different. He could order Jimo camp to be used by him.

Whether Chen YingYuan is happy or not, the Dengzhou general army of this term finally has some troops in hand. Some people can do something. Unlike Gao ruowang of the previous term, they can't do anything at all.

The Dengzhou battalion stationed in Dengzhou is nothing but an empty shell, which is far inferior to the famous Dengzhou battalion in those years. However, Liu Bu ordered 1000 elite soldiers led by Xiao Ning, one of his generals, to enter the city under the command of Zheng Zhibao, the current chief soldier. Zheng Zhibao ordered them to stay in the city and take charge of some urban defense, Then he personally led the main fleet to set out.

Zheng Zhibao is also a strong man. He knows that his southerners come to the north to be military attache. Many local officials and soldiers are not satisfied. The only way is to show achievements. These people have nothing to say.
