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

Chapter 133 Fan Zhongjin, a businessman for generations

The remaining troops of the Hou Jin Dynasty have been evacuated hastily. According to the news reported by the scouts, from Guangning City, to the Haizhou Guard, and then to the Liaoyang City, within a territory of more than a thousand miles, all the troops of the Hou Jin Dynasty went north to Shenyang. What's more, they did not enter Shenyang, but led their troops directly across Anping Mountain and up the Taizi River, hoping to return directly to the white mountains and black waters of Hetuala.

It can be seen that in this battle alone, the fear Wang Qi left in the Jurchens has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

In Ningyuan City, the war is over, but the scars and fear left by the war are far from gone.

The entire Ningyuan City, and even the entire Liaodong, is still shrouded in the shadow of the war and massacre. Many people need to spend a long, long time, or even a lifetime, to heal the scars.

Wang Qi has led his troops to Ningyuan City, and the entire Liaodong troops are also concentrated here. The other Guangning guards have to wait for the troops and supplies from the court to arrive at the Liaohe River before they can further digest and control it. They cannot easily control it. Send troops to garrison, as for the Haizhou Guard, Liaoyang City, and Shenyang City that are further away, you need to plan them slowly. Wang Qi doesn't have many troops and cannot go deep alone. If the poor invaders turn around, he will be informed before he is about to die. If the army takes a single blow, then the gain outweighs the loss.

After all, this battle has established the victory of Liaodong, and there is no need to take any more risks.

Wang Qi has always been forced into desperate situations and only uses his sword to find a way out. If he can take the initiative to control the situation, who wouldn't want to work step by step and fight steadily?

In Ningyuan City, in the General Military Mansion Office after some repairs, all the surviving civil and military officials of the Ming Army gathered together.

"After this battle, our Ming Dynasty has crushed most of the main troops of the Hou Jin Dynasty. Nurhaci, Mang Gurtai, Yang Guli, Heli and other Hou Jin banner master-level Beile were all killed, and 13,000 people were beheaded. More than a thousand Houjin soldiers and horses captured more than 3,000 people alive. Only the main force of Daishan's Two Blue Banners remained and fled towards Shenyang City." Wang Qi sat alone in the top position. Xiong Tingbi felt that one was missing, and the other officials were all civil and military. They all stood back one by one, lowered their eyebrows, and listened to Wang Qi's summary of the station and the instructions for subsequent combat missions.

"There are still some soldiers and horses of Hou Jin in Shenyang City, but they are no longer enough to cause trouble. More than 5,000 people from Horqin's tribe have been fighting with them in Shenyang City for more than half a month. It is expected that in the next period of time, the main force of Hou Jin will gradually move eastward and pass Fushun. , crossed the Sarhu, and returned to Hetuala in order to compromise and protect themselves." Wang Qi glanced at the people in the hall and said calmly:
  "I plan to recuperate within half a year, recover Liaodong within half a year, and sweep the caves within half a year to completely eradicate the remaining forces of the Later Jin Dynasty and remove them from the annals of history. Do you have any opinions?"

"I will obey your orders!" In the hall, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Erbao, Zu Dashou and other generals suddenly stood up and bowed to Wang Qi: "We will die in your service!"

As for the civil servants, Yuan Chonghuan stood up directly: "I am willing to be driven by your Majesty! To pacify Liaodong and crush the Jian slaves!"

With Yuan Chonghuan showing off, the others no longer had any scruples and stood up directly to bow to Wang Qi: "I am willing to serve you!"

In the hall, Liaodong Manager Xiong Tingbi stood up slowly, looked at Wang Qi, bowed and said: "I would like to go to the court and second the proposal for Marquis Dingyuan!"

Everyone in the hall knew that this was the last dignified act of a businessman - to show respect to Wang Qi through the court, instead of trying to cling to him.

After a while, everyone dispersed. Although the war was temporarily over, Ningyuan City still had too many things waiting for each department to deal with - the repair of the city defense, the shelter of the people, the rescue of the wounded soldiers, the prevention of post-war plague, and Ningyuan For the city guards to send troops to garrison, all conditions are important.
  While everyone was busy with their feet off the ground, Wang Qi was free at this time.

After all, these "little things" don't need to be taken care of by Dingyuan Marquis himself. After washing up, Wang Qi sat in the study in the backyard and began to sort out the memorials for the annihilation of the main force of Jiannu. At the same time, he also formed an alliance with Horqin. The matter must begin to be implemented in practice. Wang Qi must send people to Horqin as soon as possible to invite Yue Shan to come to Liao.
  "Ok?"

When looking through the war records of various generals, Wang Qi saw a familiar but unfamiliar name: "Ningyuan City Selected the Front Camp, Qianhu Official. Cao Wenzhao, killed Mao Wenlong, led his troops to guard the north gate of Ningyuan City, and defeated the enemy. Times, outstanding meritorious service." In the late Ming Dynasty, Cao Wenzhao was a good general who was known for his loyalty and bravery.

With the tip of his pen filled with ink, Wang Qi circled Cao Wenzhao's name, thus remembering him. However, it is far from the time to promote and appoint him. The merits of a good general in his previous life are far from being matured in this life. Let’s talk later!
  Da da da, just as Wang Qi was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, there is a scholar outside the mansion who came to visit and received a famous assassination recommended by Master Ye," the voice of the personal guard commander Wang Shouxin came.

Qin Erbao is now a general at the level of deputy commander-in-chief. He is busy with military affairs and also serves as an official of the Jinyi Guards. Therefore, a general from the Zhongyong family was chosen for the position of commander of the personal guards.

"You got Ye Xianggao's famous assassin?" Wang Qi was stunned. Only a scholar could find his way to the position of the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, and it was in Ningyuan City where the war had just ended. This means that this scholar followed Wang Qi all the way from Beijing to Beijing. He chased Ningyuan City and was involved in a major war, which made him somewhat interested:

"Take him and wait in the front hall."

"Yes, sir!" Wang Shouxin left.

----

Not long after, Wang Qi saw Fan Zhongjin in the front hall, wearing tattered robes.

"After entering the school at the end of the year, I learned from Fan Zhongjin and met with Marquis Dingyuan! The achievements of the Marquis will shine through the ages. The students experienced the Liaodong War with their own eyes and admired them deeply. They were respectful in heart and mind. It is a great blessing for students to see a man of God. It is a great blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty and the country. What a blessing!!" As soon as Fan Zhongjin saw Wang Qi, he fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed three times with a respectful expression, and kept chanting words of praise.

It can be seen that I have been practicing for a long time.
  "Sit down and talk and watch tea!" Wang Qi sat on the chair and observed the scholar who had experienced life and death torture for half a month: "You brought Ye Shoufu's famous assassin, all the way from Beijing, to follow me. Why did you come to Liaodong?"

"I am a student from Datong, Shanxi, and my family has been doing business for generations," Fan Zhongjin said respectfully, his buttocks lightly touching the chair: "Today, the country is suffering and the country is in danger. The students also have the heart to serve the country and want to use their meager wealth to finance Liaodong's military affairs to increase the number of To be used as food for the adults."

"A person from Datong, Shanxi, from the Fan family?" Wang Qi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Starting from the 32nd year of Wanli, he started doing business in Mongolia, Liaodong, and Jurchen places. Although the court banned it many times, the wealth and silk moved people's hearts. , still secretly nourishing Hou Jin, and in more than 20 years, the wealth gained is no less than a hundred times."

Wang Qi looked at Fan Zhongjin and said with a smile: "You just said that you came here to support Liaodong's military affairs?"

"Sir!" Fan Zhongjin's calves softened and he immediately knelt down again.

"Starting this year, I will send people to cut off the trade routes. Horqin won't cooperate with you, and the Jurchens will have a hard time with you. Now you come here to say something about funding Liaodong's military affairs? Do you think I, Wang Qi, really only know how to kill Jiannu?" Wang Qi sat back. Sitting on the chair, eyes lowered, murderous intent gradually aroused.
