Chapter 248 Military Affairs Prime Minister’s Yamen of the Three Provinces
  It is not surprising that the Jianzhou Jurchens were destroyed immediately after Wang Qi arrived in Liao.

At least in the eyes of those around Wang Qi, everything fell into place.

Ever since Nurhachi died in Guangning City, Qin Erbao and others knew that Liaodong would return to the hands of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later.

"I heard that the Duke reopened the governor's office today?" In the streets and alleys of Shenyang City, the people who had just returned to the Ming Dynasty were discussing the actions of Wang Qi, the current person in charge of Liaodong.

Three days ago, Wang Qi issued a governor-general order. After the forty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the city of Shenyang in Liaodong once again had a plaque built by a Ming general.

"It's not the Governor's Yamen," the companion shook his head, picked up the tea bowl and blew gently to blow away the foam on it, and then said leisurely: "It's called the Military and Political Prime Minister's Yamen of the Three Provinces."

Shenyang City was not seriously damaged during the war. Except for the Jianzhou Palace in the center of the city, which was bombarded by artillery, leaving only ruins, the rest of the city was still intact. The streets had been cleaned and repaired, and had returned to their original appearance. In the remaining days, many restaurants, tea shops, and tile houses have been opened on the streets of Shenyang City. Many Han people have returned to the streets, changed into Han Chinese clothes, and chatted with friends. The decadence of the fall of Liaodong has disappeared. , only the excitement and imagination of a new world.

Today, Yuan Chonghuan and others also rushed to Shenyang from Ningyuan City. To be precise, they were directly transferred here by a warrant from Wang Qi.

"The Yamen of the Military Affairs Premier of the Three Provinces?"

Yuan Chonghuan squinted his eyes and looked at the plaque on the high door beam. He didn't understand why Wang Qi used this name as the plaque for his governor's office. These three provinces have a lot of meaning.

"I heard that this is not a government office established by the Duke for his family." He Kegang arrived in Shenyang City with Yuan Chonghuan. At this time, he stood next to Yuan Chonghuan and explained.

"Military affairs of the three provinces?" Yuan Chonghuan frowned and said, "You mean, the Duke of the State wants to divide Liaodong into three provinces for governance?"

Yuan Chonghuan, who was the inspector-general of Liaodong, had never heard of Wang Qi's report to the court and the establishment of a military affairs office in the three provinces.

Is this the intention of Duke Lang, or the tacit approval of the imperial court?

but
  Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan smacked his lips. After this battle, Duke Lang had already covered the sky with one hand in Liaodong and looked like a god. Now even if the imperial court wanted to enter Liaodong, it would be impossible without Wang Qi's nod and instructions. Order to enter Shanhaiguan.

"Your Majesty the Duke of the State has ordered that all officials enter the mansion!"

As the roll call sounded at the entrance of the government office, a group of high-ranking officials and nobles from Liaodong, dressed in blue and purple, filed in.

In the front hall, the renovated Menqian Yamen can accommodate dozens of people sitting at the same time.

Yuan Chonghuan and He Kegang sit in the top two ranks of civil servants.

Glancing at the cloister palace in the distance, Yuan Chonghuan withdrew his gaze. This is the residence of Prince Daishan of Yuanli. It covers an area of ​​more than a hundred acres and has nearly a thousand houses. It can be said to be the most luxurious place in Liaodong. , now that Wang Qi has changed it into the military affairs office of the three provinces, it is really overqualified and underused.

"Lord He, what do you think the Duke of the Kingdom meant when he asked me to come here today?" Yuan Chonghuan leaned on the chair, tapped the armrest with his fingers, and said, "The war has just stopped, and Cao Cao Wenzhao's side is still fighting endlessly in Hetuala, so it can't be that there is an order from the court to transfer him back, right?"

"It can't be so fast. The good news was only sent out three days ago. Based on the distance, we should have just arrived in Jizhou Mansion now. The good news has not yet reached the hands of the court officials." He Kegang shook his head. He didn't know what Wang Qi would do today. Why did all the generals in Liaodong gather together? It couldn't be just to see the completion of the military and political offices of these three provinces, right?
  At this time, the entire meeting hall was noisy and noisy.

After all, the war has just ended, and everyone here is a hero of the gold harvest. It is inevitable that they will be promoted to official positions. And the families that were overthrown by the war should be replaced by these new families that rose up due to the war.    Isn't this something extremely exciting?

"Governor Ji Liao is here!"

Not long after, as the guard outside the door sang a chorus, the hall fell silent for an instant.

Almost instantly, everyone stood up from their seats, straightened their robes, looked respectfully, and looked down at their toes, as if they were waiting for something.

Da da da! ! !
  Following the sound of footsteps, with everyone's lowered gazes, Wang Qi, wearing a green robe, walked in from outside the house.

"Welcome to the Governor!"

All civil and military officials expressed their congratulations.

"Everyone, sit down," Wang Qi's voice was a little tired, but still majestic and almost unshakable.

"Thank you, Lord Governor!"

When Wang Qi opened his mouth, everyone dared to bow and sit down, but this time most of them had their buttocks in front of them and did not dare to sit deeply, so that they could stand up at any time and answer Wang Qi's questions.

"It's been more than ten days since the war ended. Do you have anything important to report at your stations, camps, important towns, and guard posts?" Wang Qi leaned on his chair and glanced at everyone, not knowing what he was looking at.

But this invisible Wia makes everyone feel like Alexander, sweating coldly.

"Sir, the new arrivals from Ningyuan City have brought three thousand stones of grain and fodder to the imperial court. Some of them have been transported by sea. They arrived directly at Haizhou Guard, were transferred from Liaoyang City, and transported eastward to Crow Falcon Pass." Wang Qi had just finished speaking. Yuan Chonghuan stood up and replied respectfully.

Wang Qi just nodded and said nothing.

"The remaining part, about 1,800 stones, has been arranged by the lower official and will be transported to Shenyang City in the near future." Yuan Chonghuan then added.

"Well," Wang Qi said leisurely after hearing the answer he wanted to hear: "Shenyang City is the most important town in Liaodong, and it is also the core part of Ming Dynasty's future construction and layout in the three eastern provinces. It requires a lot of resources, population, and food to carry out the project. Supplement! The war has just stopped, and everything is in ruins waiting to be revived. Yuan Yingcha made a good move, he is a person who knows how to handle things."

After being praised by Wang Qi, Yuan Chonghuan frowned and said, "Serve the court and share your worries!"

"Sir, most of the people in Liaodong have begun to move back. Most of the people who originally moved their families to Ningyuan due to the war have returned, and there are also a few who have fled to the mountains and dense forests. Currently, the officials are stepping up their persuasion and propaganda. In order to enrich the population of Liaodong as soon as possible." After Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, He Kegang also stood up and said: "In addition, because of our alliance with Horqin, the population in the grassland area has also begun to migrate to our Liaodong, plus the original Jurchens from the Barbarians and the Jurchens from the Hercynian Some tribes have formed horse markets and mountain goods trading places in the area from Puhe to Kaiyuan, and the official is considering further regulation for subsequent rectification by the court!"

"Yes, after all, not all the Jurchens are against the Ming Dynasty. Except for Jianzhou, the barbarians, and some Haixi are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and Horqin is our ally. Border trade is not a bad idea, but regulation must be given priority. , induce governance, and put the interests of our court first." Wang Qi has now begun to plan the situation after leaving Liaodong, so he does not hesitate to praise He Kegang's approach.

"I understand."
