On the tenth day of the sixth month, the second batch of 100,000 people from the Central Plains marched to the territory of Suzhou, where they would stay for a few days and take a short rest, and then continue to move forward to the terminal station, Wuzhou.

Li Xun and Jiang Daxiong rode horses and galloped out of Wu'an City, where Hou Quanzheng was waiting.

Li Xun stopped his horse and asked loudly, "Is the army finished?" ”

"Governor, two thousand soldiers have been assembled, and they are ten miles away."

Li Xun nodded, set up his horse and continued to move forward, and Hou Quan hurriedly got on the horse and followed.

The news that the second batch of 100,000 people from the Central Plains had entered the territory of Suzhou had just arrived yesterday, and Li Xun attached great importance to this, and immediately transferred 2,000 soldiers from Gan Tuyuan to prepare to go to Suzhou in person to greet them.

When they arrived at the meeting place, the cavalry of 2,000 soldiers was all the same, I have to say that although Gan Tuyuan was incompetent, he was indeed very good at the cultivation of the troops, and Li Xun's nearly 20,000 soldiers were all cavalry, except for his own 500 personal soldiers, all of whom were cavalry, and the number of cavalry in the other departments was very small.

"The last will meet the governor."

When Li Xun arrived, Zheng Chun and Han Lin hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"No need to be polite."

Han Lin arched his hand and said, "Governor, two thousand cavalry are ready to set off at any time." ”

"Let's go."

Li Xun waved his hand, and the army set off for Suzhou.

Li Xun did not rush to the front of the line, but in the back position, not fast or slow, they were not in a hurry.

"Brother Zheng, you seem to have something on your mind."

Zheng Chun followed Li Xun, his expression was silent, and he looked preoccupied.

Zheng Chun said silently: "I'm a little homesick, and I don't know how my children are doing now." ”

"This year's imperial examination is about to start, and with Zheng Fu's knowledge, it shouldn't be a big problem to be admitted to the Jinshi."

"What can I do if I get admitted, he is dragged down by me, even if he enters the officialdom, the future is difficult."

Zheng Chun sighed, what is his son, he naturally knows that it is not a big problem to take the Jinshi exam, but what about after the exam? When selecting officials, the main officials of the Ministry of Officials will have a lot of considerations for the new science and technology jinshi, such as their background, they were once the subordinates of Zheng Ze, although they finally surrendered to the imperial court and made contributions, but those stains on their bodies are not something that can be erased casually.

Zheng Fu has such a father, and he will definitely suffer a big loss in the selection of officials in the ministry, and it is very likely that he will be transferred to a remote area as a small official, so it will be difficult to have any future in this life.

Li Xun glanced at Zheng Chun, knew what he was worried about, thought about it, and said, "In this way, I will talk to Qin Anming about this matter, and he may give me this face." ”

In the battle of Jiangnan, Li Xun was the judge of the supervising army, and Qin Anming was supervising the imperial history with the army, and the two had the experience of being colleagues together, although they did not communicate much on weekdays, but when they met, they would also greet each other politely, but now Qin Anming has become the minister of political affairs, and he is asked for help if he has something, and Li Xun doesn't know if he will give himself this face.

Zheng Chun's indifferent face suddenly came to his senses, Qin Anming is a minister of political affairs, and only one sentence can change the fate of Zheng Fu's life.

"If this is really the case, the governor will be gracious, and Zheng Chun will definitely remember it."

Zheng Chun arched his hand and said gratefully.

Li Xun waved his hand: "Don't thank me first, I have a little friendship with Qin Anming, but it is not deep, and his current status is much higher than mine, whether he is willing to give this face, I don't know." ”

Zheng Chun was still grateful: "Whether it is successful or not, but the governor's intention has arrived, Zheng Chun is still grateful. ”

Li Xun said: "Brother Zheng, in fact, you don't have to think so much, you are just middle-aged now, and you still have more than ten years to work hard, work hard, establish meritorious deeds, and have an official position, even if Zheng Fu can't pass the Jinshi exam, with your support, life will be very good, and your daughter can also find a good family." ”

Zheng Chun nodded, this is exactly what he thought, otherwise he would not have categorically agreed to Li Xun's invitation when his injury was not healed, and followed him to Wuzhou, and as Li Xun said, he has just turned forty this year, and he is retiring to the countryside at such an age, if he is not forced to do so, Zheng Chun is still a little unwilling, at least some regrets.

The army marches forward.

Three days later, Li Xun led the army to Shouchang County, Shazhou Prefecture, and Yu Yanhui, the defense envoy of Shazhou, went out to meet him for fifty miles.

Shazhou has Shouchang, Yanchi, Mingsha three counties, the territory is much smaller than Wuzhou, about only a considerable one-third, the population is not much, more than 100,000 people, the economy, people's livelihood is very general, but the imperial court has planned to divide into ten batches, more than one million people in the Central Plains, migrated to the seven states in the west of Longyou, half of which will migrate to the west of Longyou, with the migration of these people here, the future of Shazhou and even the entire Longyou will slowly prosper.

After everyone met, after a polite greeting, Yu Yanhui welcomed Li Xun into Shouchang County and rested temporarily.

"You did everything I commanded?"

After dinner, Li Xun washed up and found Yu Yanhui to talk about something.

Yu Yanhui said: "The order of the governor, how dare the last general delay, I have sent two thousand soldiers to patrol around, some small bandits in the territory have also been completely eliminated, there is no problem with public security, the governor can rest assured." ”

Half a month ago, Li Xun sent a letter, ordering him to check the local security and ensure the safety of the migrants.

Yu Yanhui gave a detailed report on his recent work.

After hearing this, Li Xun nodded with satisfaction.

After resting for one night in Shouchang County, early the next morning, Li Xun led the army to continue forward.

Two days later, Li Xun arrived in Fulu County, Suzhou Prefecture, which was also the seat of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Longyou Province.

Around the county seat of Fulu County, there is a black oppression, more than 100,000 people who have migrated from the Central Plains have camped here to rest, and many officials and soldiers are interspersed among the migrants to inspect and offer condolences.

Seeing Li Xun's troops, several officials hurried over from a distance, and after some inquiry, they learned that the person who came was Li Xun, the governor of Wuzhou, and the officials led by him immediately returned to the Dadu Governor's Mansion to report.

Li Xun asked 2,000 soldiers to be stationed outside the city, and took Jiang Daxiong and Hou Quan with these officials to go towards the county seat.

From the mouths of these officials, Li Xun learned that this group of people arrived in Fulu County three days ago, and they were very tired along the way, and from here to Wuzhou, they had to pass through Shazhou and Xiazhou, more than 800 miles, and before arriving in Wuzhou, there was no supply place, so Wang Renzi asked these people to stay in Fulu County for a few days, and sent people to distribute a small amount of food to the people, which had been used for road expenses, and at the same time sent people to Shazhou to inform Shazhou Defense Envoy Yu Yanhui to do a good job of public security and guidance.

Li Xun nodded secretly in his heart, this Wang Renzi is worthy of being the former Xiangguo, and he has done things very carefully and comprehensively.
