The Ming Dynasty Raised Troops in Liaodong and Was Granted the Title of "King of Side by Side"

Xiao Heng traveled through Liaodong during the Hongwu period and witnessed the corruption of border officials, the oppression of the people by the Lan Yu tribe, and the displacement of countless refugees. He took in tens of thousands of refugees to build forts, improved firearms, and trained three thousand elite dead soldiers, planning to raise troops to protect himself and resist the tyranny. Lan Yu believed that Xiao Heng had gathered people to plot rebellion, and personally led the cavalry to encircle and suppress him, and the war was about to break out. Little did he know that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was patrolling Liaodong incognito, had already seen through the shortcomings of the border area and witnessed Xiao Heng's top military and border management strategies with his own eyes. When the army was encircling and the uprising was imminent, an eight-hundred-mile expedited imperial edict was quickly delivered, pardoning Xiao Heng from all his crimes and canonizing him as the King of Zhenliao. From then on, Xiao Heng held great power, toughened the Huaixi nobles, rectified the Liaodong border defense, attacked the remaining Yuan Dynasty in the north, shocked the ministries outside the customs, and led the Ming Dynasty step by step to open up a prosperous age in northern Xinjiang.
