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

Chapter 284 Shanhaiguan, no one can cross it

In the past few days, there have been really too many guests who came to congratulate me.

To be honest, Wang Qi was a little annoyed.

Hailanzhu was newly born, and Wang Qi didn't want to be disturbed by too many people, so he moved Hailanzhu and his children to live in a manor outside the city. The house in the city was only used to receive guests.

After leaving Hai Lanzhu and his son to sleep together, Wang Qi sent two more maids to wait in the room before returning to the study of the front house.

Picking up the letter in his hand and putting it down again, Wang Qi pressed his eyebrows. His face no longer had the warmth and warmth he had in front of his wife and children, only gloomy and cold.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi suddenly asked the inner palace to start preparing for his wedding to Princess Ningde.
  What does it mean?
  Anyone with a discerning eye can see it - only after Wang Qi becomes a relative can the emperor take back military power in a legitimate and legitimate manner.

"But, is the emperor's calculation too loud?" Wang Qi sneered, stood up from the chair, walked to the corridor, and squinted at the heavy snow in the courtyard.

Military power is not a simple word, but a power forged from blood, mud, scorched earth, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong were built step by step by Wang Qi starting from the twenty-seven servants in Guangning City, fighting in the east and west, entering the grasslands, returning to Ningyuan, seizing Liaoyang, and setting foot in Shenyang. Wang Qi did not nod. No one can take the military power away from him.

Not even the emperor!
  "Sir, Qin Erbao has arrived," Wang Qi was thinking when Wang Shouxin came from the concierge and reported to Wang Qi.

"Bring it to the study," Wang Qi nodded, but his expression did not change.

The journey took more than half a month and took seven days to arrive. I wonder how many horses ran and died along the way?
  There are no changes in Wang Qi's study.

It seems to be the case in Guangning City. At the entrance is a row of mahogany bookshelves two people high, covering the entire wall. Turning around is a long walnut table stained with yellow, matched with five huanghuali chairs. There are also two half-person high wooden tables.

A small hollowed-out stove with animal patterns is placed in the center of the study, and a faint fragrance floats on the desk.

The furnishings are as simple as ever, but elegant and restrained.

"Little Qin Erbao, I'd like to bow down to you, sir. May you be safe!" With a thud, Qin Erbao knelt on the ground as soon as he entered and kowtowed three times.

"Get up, you don't have to be so angry," Wang Qi waved his hand and asked Qin Erbao to get up.

"Sir, I heard that my wife has given birth to a son for you. The younger one brought this son back from Shenyang City for peace and wealth." Qin Erbao stood up, took out a jade stone from his sleeve, stepped forward and handed it to Wang Qi respectfully.

A piece of uncut jade that has the appearance of a natural dragon. It is warm and moist to the touch. When you feel it carefully, it seems that there are traces of breath flowing on it. It is extremely mysterious.

After looking at it for a while, he gently placed the jade on the table. Wang Qi raised his eyes and looked at Qin Erbao: "Did you hear anything on the way here?" Qin Erbao naturally knew what Wang Qi meant, and bowed and replied: " Along the way, I heard a lot about the disputes in the court, and among the ten things, nine out of ten were related to you, and among them, the subtle attitude of the current emperor is the most discussed by the world."

Wang Qi nodded slightly: "What do you think the current emperor thinks?"

"With one man's heart, you can seize the world's troops. Don't you understand the idea of ​​the current emperor? But since you are so powerful, the emperor is naturally hesitant and timid. He neither dares to push you too far, nor is he willing to let others develop their strength like this. We can only use some dirty tricks to stop you. However," after finishing one sentence, Qin Erbao changed the subject and said: "No matter what the emperor in Beijing thinks, Xiao Xiao and all the Liaodong soldiers Horses and horses, all obey your orders!" Qin Erbao looked like a rough warrior, but when he spoke, he whipped his whip into the ground and penetrated the wood.

"Then do you think that in Liaodong, raising bandits to respect themselves is the solution to the problem in Liaodong?" Wang Qi looked at Qin Erbao with a solemn tone.

When asked by Wang Qi, even though he had done enough psychological preparation along the way, when the matter came to an end, Qin Erbao's breath was still stagnant. In an instant, cold sweat was pouring down his back.

"I didn't think well!" Qin Erbao lowered his head and did not dare to look at Wang Qi: "But before leaving Liaodong, I had asked Cao Wenzhao to lead his troops to approach Crow Falcon Pass again and enter Hetu. Allah, this time we will surely destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.”

"You have seen and heard along the way this time, and you have thought about it yourself. I hope you can understand." Wang Qi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qin Erbao: "Now the focus of the Ming Dynasty is no longer in Liaodong. , but moved to the pass. As long as the pass is pacified, no one will care if the few remaining slave soldiers in Liaodong are defeated."

"Inside the pass?" Qin Erbao was stunned and immediately responded: "Sir, do you need me to lead troops back to the capital?"

"Then I have to ask, whose soldiers are you bringing?" Wang Qi pointed at the table with his finger: "Don't rush to answer, let's drink tea first."

Picking up the tea cup with both hands, Qin Erbao took a sip and said after a long while: "If they enter the pass, they can only be soldiers and horses of the imperial court."

"Of course," Wang Qi finally laughed after hearing this: "I won't be dazzled by the prestigious name of Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Military Officer."

"You are joking, sir," Qin Erbao blushed in a rare blush and reached out to touch his head.

"When will you enter the customs?" Qin Erbao said seriously.

"It won't be long." Wang Qi leaned back in his chair and looked up at the incense of thoughts floating in the air: "For a long time, the war against Jiannu, whether it was victory or defeat, the soldiers' pay, food, and armor , weapons and weapons were obtained by squeezing and grinding the people in the pass over and over again. Now even if the war has stopped and the Ming Dynasty has won, for decades, the officials at the top and bottom of the court, from the local to the central government, The inertia formed by Yi Liao will not stop once it starts. They impose excessive taxes, take advantage of opportunities to make money, and are greedy at all levels. They are all the worms of the country."

"What do you mean, sir, a great chaos is about to break out?" Qin Erbao seemed to understand something.

"How can there be a three-hundred-year-old dynasty in the world?" Wang Qi did not answer, but asked instead: "Some people in the court said that my achievements are so great that they can shock the lord, and Wang Mang is usurping the Han Dynasty in front of me, so I will not be allowed to return to the capital. But the world is full of chaos. They really can't see it at all, and they don't want to look at it, as if as long as I relinquish my official title and surrender my military power, the world will be safe and balanced!"

"Sir, no matter you are the Duke of Qi, the Governor of Ji Liao, or the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong. Without your order, not a single soldier of the imperial court can move!" Qin Erbao said, suddenly stood up, and then He suddenly prostrated himself: "It's the same with Qin Erbao. There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong without orders from the adults. No one can cross Shanhaiguan and take the next step southward!"

Wang Qi smiled and looked at Qin Erbao who was kneeling on the ground: "Then let them see who has the final say in the world!"
