Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 225 Fan Zhong arrives in Liao

Three days after Wang Qi arrived in Liaodong, the entire north of the Liaohe River had been unified.

Qin Erbao replaced Zu Dashou and was promoted to be the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao were the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong. The three of them jointly commanded 70,000 troops, including more than 30,000 people who were returned from their ancestral home.

Tu Da and others were also promoted to the second level and were directly responsible to Wang Qi.

At the same time, all generals who originally belonged to Liaodong, as long as they are willing to hand over their military power and submit to Qin, Lu, and Cao, will not be blamed and will be promoted one level.

As for the civil service system in Liaodong, since He Kegang, Yuan Chonghuan and others, they have all been promoted to one level.

When Xiong Tingbi resigned, Wang Qi appointed Yuan Chonghuan as temporary governor of Liaodong, and governor of several cities in Ningyuan and Guangning. He Kegang was directly promoted to the post of inspector of Liaodong, filling Yuan Chonghuan's position. He also served as the governor of Liaodong and was responsible for the transfer to the north.

From then on, it only took ten days from the time Wang Qi crossed Shanhaiguan to go to Liao Dynasty and took over the military and political power in Liaodong.

Everything seems to have stabilized.

At least, as long as Wang Qi is in Liaodong for one day, this situation will never be broken.

On October 20, the second year of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Qi led his army to Guangning Zhongwei. Except for Yuan Chonghuan who stayed in Ningyuan City for dispatch, the entire Liaodong Civil and Military Group and army all went northward.

The sky and the earth are dim, the mountains in the distance are undulating, and the autumn in Liaodong has already shown a sense of desolation.

Today, Wang Qi led his generals to inspect the mouth of the Daling River. More than a hundred miles across the sea to the east is the line of the Liao River.

Once the war starts, if you can cross the river directly, you will definitely be able to give Hou Jin a fatal blow!
  This position makes Hou Jin more awkward than Jiaodong Denglai and Liaonan.

"If Jiannu dares to come, I will lead my army across the sea to Gaizhou Guards and attack from both front and rear. Our army's victory rate will suddenly increase." Tu Da, who has lived in Liaodong for a long time, is very familiar with the terrain, mountains and rivers. At this time, he bowed beside Wang Qi , introduce your own opinions to them.

Behind him are Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng and others, and further away is a group of more than a hundred personal guards.

"It's a good idea," Wang Qi nodded, waved his whip lightly, and stood on a high ground, hearing the distant waves crashing on the shore.

Today's inspection was not just a whim. Wang Qi wanted to lead his troops to find a way to attack Houjin from behind.
  However, Wang Qi obviously did not listen to Tu Da's suggestion.

Because marching across the sea is really unrealistic now.
  Just when Tu Dagang was about to continue speaking, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.

The new Guangning City garrison officer Wang Shouxin arrived.

"Sir, the convoy of eight members of Shanshan Commercial Bank has arrived at Guangning Zhongwei more than thirty miles away."

Wang Shouxin bowed and reported to Wang Qi the situation in Guangning City.

The day before Wang Qi left for Liaodong, he had already sent a letter to Fan Zhong, asking his eight major trading houses to once again transport one million in silver and fifty carts of grain to Liaodong.

This time, the entire eight trading firms were almost drained of their wealth.

However, Fan Zhongjin and others also understood that at this time, it was the most correct choice to devote all family resources to support Wang Qi's Northern Expedition.

Even though some members of the clan objected, under Fan Zhongjin's tough suppression, he finally dug out all his family assets and personally led the escort, heading north to Datong, crossing Horqin, and stationed in Liaodong.

Show your sincerity to Wang Qi now. Five, ten, or twenty years later, Fan Zhongjin believes that as long as Wang Qi is in power for one day, the eight Shanxi and Shaanxi families headed by the Fan family will become the most prominent and famous families in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The governor's temporary office. At this moment, Fan Zhongjin and his slightly talented disciples were sitting in the hall, waiting for Wang Qi's arrival.

This time, Fan Zhongjin personally went to Liaodong with food, wages and money. On the one hand, he wanted to express his sincerity. On the other hand, he also wanted to bring his disciples to visit Wang Qi. As long as he could stay under Wang Qi for a month and a half, Months, then it will be a guarantee of prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life.

"Brother Tai, when you meet the Duke of Guo, don't be too anxious to express yourself. Ask the Duke in advance what he means, and then adapt your thoughts to the Duke of Guo. Slow down, don't be anxious, don't be nervous. ," Fan Zhongjin, while waiting for Wang Qi to return to the city, took advantage of every opportunity to give his final instructions to the clan members.

"Don't worry, uncle, I understand," Fan Tai straightened his waist, with a calm and indifferent look on his face, obviously prepared.

Fan Tai is considered to be one of the best in the Fan family in terms of talent and ambition. This time, Fan Zhongjin specially brought him to meet Wang Qi.

"The Governor is here!!!"

Without keeping Fan Zhongjin waiting for too long, Wang Qi had already returned from outside the city with his men.

Not long after, Wang Qi, wearing a black and red brocade robe, walked in with a smile on his face.

"Fan Zhongjin pays homage to the Duke!"

"Fan Tai pays homage to the Duke!"

The two of them had already gotten up early before Wang Qi entered the hall, stood by the door and bowed to Wang Qi.

"Get up quickly, no need to be polite." Wang Qi held up a hand to stop Fan Zhongjin, then turned to the maid beside him and said, "Tea!"

"The middle nephew of the Fan family?" Wang Qi's eyes fell on Fan Tai, and then he asked Fan Zhongjin.

"As for you, sir, Fan Tai is the most accomplished among our clan. It just so happened that he was transporting money for you this time, so he volunteered to escort you all the way north. He has dedicated himself to serving the country." Fan Zhongjin looked at Wang Qi with humility on his face. Introducing Fan Tai.

"Well," Wang Qi looked at the young man beside him and said with a smile, "Yes, he seems to have a calm temper and can do things."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord!" Fan Zhongjin was overjoyed when he heard this, and then looked at Fan Tai, wanting him to quickly thank Wang Qi. However, after taking a closer look, he saw that his nephew was trembling nervously in front of Wang Qi. Forgetting words for a moment.

"Why don't you pay your respects to the Duke?" Fan Zhongjin almost shouted.

what?
  Fan Tai suddenly woke up and seemed to regain his energy. He hurriedly lowered his head and bowed to Wang Qi: "Fan Tai, thank you, Mr. Guo, thank you so much, Mr. Guo!"

After talking for a long time, I didn’t know what I was thanking.

The calmness and calmness he had before seeing Wang Qi were completely gone, leaving only panic and fear.

For those in high positions, especially those like Wang Qi who have climbed mountains of corpses and seas of blood to climb to high positions, when facing strangers, the aura and pressure that unconsciously flow out of their bodies is enough to make people feel scared and flinched.

"Get up, it's okay." Wang Qi stretched out his hand to help Fan Tai up, smiled and patted his shoulder gently: "Remember, when I faced Huang Taiji for the first time, I was also scared, but things It has to be done, sometimes, the potential shines in just a moment.”

"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo, student. I understand, student," Fan Tai nodded fiercely, extremely grateful.

"Okay, let's drink tea first. You guys have worked hard all the way. I'll ask the chef to make some simple meals and we'll have some together later." Wang Qi sat back on the chair and pointed to Wang Shouxin who was standing at the door: " Keep your word, go prepare some good wine, and ask He Kegang to come over soon!"
