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

Chapter 161 The Beginning of Change
  Wang Tigan stared blankly at the heavy scroll that Wang Shouxin and his men carried over. If you look at it with just one eye, it is two arms wide and three to four feet long. You can imagine that it is a very detailed and detailed scroll.

Speaking of which, Wang Qi specially hired seven painters from Jizhou Prefecture to visit nearly a thousand acres of land in Jizhou Prefecture for this painting, including almost all the refugees, the scorched earth left after the war, and the burned city walls. All the tragedies in the world and the bloody color of the earth are integrated into it. At the same time, because several painters also experienced it personally, they added their own grief and helplessness to the scorched earth and ruins that stretched for dozens of miles. , stretched out, the scroll of more than ten meters, from right to left, step by step, is full of blood in the world.

"Lang Guogong, this method is extremely wonderful," Wang Tiqian turned to look at Wang Qi with a little admiration in his eyes.

If Emperor Tianqi could see the human tragedy that occurred under the Ming Dynasty, then the emperor might gain some confidence and understanding, and support Wang Qi in continuing to fight against the turmoil of the Donglin scholars.

"Excuse me, father-in-law, please bring this thing back," Wang Qi cupped his hand, and at the same time, a personal entourage came forward to offer him a reward.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo!" Wang Ti smiled dryly and put the gift into his sleeves. In fact, Mr. Wang didn't care whether Duke Lang gave him a reward. After all, given his status, he should give him a thin face. , he can return you very courtesy.

But this time it was different. Wang Qi gave it, and Wang Tiqian had to take over. This was the prerequisite for this political cooperation, and it was also the first formal cooperation between Si Li and Wang Qi.

The last trip to Horqin was an unintentional move. This time was the beginning of the first joint fight against the civilian clique.

Not long after, after resting for a long time, Wang Tiqian summoned the guard of honor and set off back to Beijing.

Jizhou Mansion is not far from the city of Beijing, and the envoy's guard of honor can reach it in one day and one night.

Since Wang Qi is determined to return the emperor's recall order, there is no reason for Wang Tiqian to stay here any longer.

The more troublesome things are still in the imperial city of Beijing and among the scholars in front of Donghua Gate.

Outside Jizhou Mansion, Wang Qi watched the honor guard go away from a distance with deep pupils.

"Sir, if you resist the decree and don't reply, you will not only fight against His Majesty the Emperor, but this move may also anger those scholars who don't know the truth!" Xu Guangqi stood there with Wang Qi, waiting for the carriage to move away, and then he was full of worry He said, "Is it really worth it?"

"It's not possible, it's bound to anger those scholars," Wang Qi pointed at himself: "It's not that those people don't know the truth, they close their eyes and cover their ears, unwilling to understand the truth. In their eyes, Gentleman! Qingliu! Civil servant! It can be a pig, a dog, or a domestic slave, but it cannot be me, so I can't go back, is there any need?"

"The Duke is joking, there is still some real peace in the court," Xu Guangqi smiled with a little embarrassment: "There are many conflicts between the Duke of Lang and the Donglin Party. I think there must be a misunderstanding!"

"Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian may be really clear." Wang Qi and Xu Guangqi walked away together. The guards behind them held their swords and hung them from a distance to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation: "But those people behind them, so Are the vested interests represented by Qingliu? Don’t they know that the industrial and commercial gentry in Southeast, Huguang, Guangdong and Guangxi have united to fight against the imperial court? They claim to be for the world and the people, but what are they really for? Who can tell clearly , in the end, who can take it out?"

Wang Qi's words made Xu Guangqi silent for a while. He didn't know how to answer. After all, no one can gain a foothold in the court without relying on party and organization, not even Yang Lian and others.

It is only possible to gain a foothold by belonging to a party.

Speaking of which, Wang Qi's rise was also due to the conflict between the emperor and Dong Lin. In order to contain Dong Lin, Emperor Tianqi promoted Wang Qi, which can also be said to be an 'organization'.

"It is precisely because Donglin is so powerful that even the emperor has to temporarily avoid the spotlight. I heard that Liu Yijing has already gone to Beijing. This time Donglin has gathered almost all the backbone forces to give Duke Lang a fatal blow! After that, , It is also aimed at the emperor. Now the emperor is obviously timid, sir." Xu Guangqi also wanted to persuade Wang Qi. After all, since they have worked together to calm down the victims these days, Xu Guangqi feels that Wang Qi is by no means as ambitious as Dong Lin said. The warlord figure actually has some civil servant temperament in him.
  "It doesn't matter." Wang Qi looked at the rolling mountains in the distance with a smile on his face and said lightly: "To be honest, I don't care about those literati."

"But the swordsman and penman are the best at killing people!" Xu Guangqi's eyes were solemn: "Even if it is white, it can turn into black in the end. Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years later, the name of the Duke of the country will be left in the annals of history, on the bamboo slips, At that time, right and wrong will all be decided by officials with swords and pens!" "His name during his lifetime and after his death," Wang Qi grinned strangely: "Hey, let him be."

Xu Guangqi stood still and did not take another step, but stared blankly at Wang Qi's figure - this young man was not like Chun Chen, but he had the fearlessness and determination that ordinary Chun Chen did not have.

It would be fine if he was a Jinshi.
  Xu Guangqi is not without regrets.

It's night, in Wang Qi's study.

Wang Qi looked through the letters on the table, which contained rumors about the city and Gyeonggi in recent days, as well as the latest developments.

Although Wang Qi is not in the capital, and he is not willing to go back to the capital to pull hair and argue with those people, but it is better to understand the situation than to have a black eye.

Moreover, as the top leader of Jin Yiwei, Wang Qi also has the ability to obtain the latest information.

"Six Gentlemen of Donglin?" When Wang Qi looked at this word, some memories from his previous life came to him in a daze.

The timelines overlap
  However, in this life, the emperor did not seem to have made up his mind to let the six Donglin Party members die.

After all, he died at the hands of Wei Zhongxian in his previous life, and the emperor did not want to dirty his hands in this life.

"It seems a little inappropriate to die in my hands," Wang Qi smiled and shook his head. It was just a party fight, and the crime would not lead to death. Wang Qi didn't want to start this!
  The death of Han Xu?

That was just an accident.

"Sir, there has been a situation in Liaodong recently. Is there going to be a war?" Wang Shouxin, the instigator of Han Xu's death, was standing not far from the door, staying up late with Wang Qi.

Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng, and Yuan Chonghuan have indeed written several letters to Wang Qi recently, explaining the recent situation in Liaodong and subsequent preparation strategies.

Xiong Tingbi seemed to have received some instructions from the imperial court and began to step up his military preparations and gear up to start a war with the remaining forces of Hou Jin.

According to Wang Qi's understanding, Daishan and Amin of the Later Jin Dynasty originally competed for the throne of Khan, and the two sides were at war with each other. However, in the end, they both focused on the overall situation, followed the advice of Hu Erhan and others, and supported the ten-year-old Dorgon as the successor of the Jin Dynasty. The new Khan planned to return to Hetuala to gather strength again in order to seek a chance to make a comeback.

"As long as our army slowly figures out the current situation in Jin Dynasty, we will definitely be able to defeat it. Moreover, with Xiong Tingbi's military style and having experienced the Haizhou Guard incident, we should be much more stable," Wang Qi commented, laughing. Said: "When Ping Ping destroys Hou Jin and Qin Erbao comes back, he can also be the chief military officer of the first important town!"

"In any case, Xiong Tingbi and others were able to achieve this by virtue of their previous achievements. Tsk, tsk, tsk, they are far from being called heroes." Wang Shouxin shook his head nonchalantly, and finally added: "Moreover, can we wipe out the queen in one fell swoop?" Jin, let me see, maybe!"
