Emperor Deqing asked Zhao Junchen to return to the capital as soon as possible in the holy decree, Zhao Junchen naturally did not dare to ignore it, pretending to be sick and delaying was only an expedient measure, if he did not return to Beijing for a long time, it would make Emperor Deqing's face look bad.

Therefore, not long after Huamachiying received the two good news of the middle and left army, Zhao Junchen immediately said that his health had improved slightly and he could leave for Beijing.

After expressing his position, Zhao Junchen ordered people to prepare carriages and horses, pack up their bags, and showed a look of obeying the holy order, and he was unwilling to delay for a moment.

Before leaving, when the subordinates of the Governor's Mansion hurriedly prepared the carriage and horse packing for Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen and Xu Qingyan still stayed in Zhao Junchen's office study, carefully sorting out the official documents and letters that Zhao Junchen had handled during this time.

These official documents and letters, either of great importance or confidentiality, must be handled by Zhao Junchen and Xu Qingyan in person, or brought back to the capital, or completely destroyed, and must not be negligently omitted or fall into the hands of others.

In fact, after Zhao Junchen announced his decision to leave for Beijing, Xu Qingyan brought a copper basin and lit a fire in the copper basin to burn Zhao Junchen's official documents and letters.

There are at least hundreds of these official documents and letters, and after Zhao Junchen confirmed them with his own eyes, most of them had to be burned in the brazier, but it was not an easy task.

As more and more letters and official documents were thrown into the brazier, Zhao Junchen's office study was suddenly filled with black smoke, choking Zhao Junchen to cough lightly from time to time.

Seeing Zhao Junchen's coughing continuously, Xu Qingyan hurriedly persuaded: "Young master, just hand over these letters and official documents to me to burn, you better go outside to breathe!" ”

Zhao Junchen coughed lightly twice, then shook his head and said: "These official documents and letters are all very important, which ones need to be brought back to the capital, and which ones need to be burned on the spot, are you afraid that you can't make up your mind, or I'll take a look at it myself...... What's more, there is not much left of these official documents and letters, and they will be over soon. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Junchen took out another secret letter and opened it for inspection, but saw that this secret letter was given to him by Guan Wuyuan when he was stationed in Jiezhou City.

When writing this secret letter, Guan Wuyuan was obviously frightened by the crazy siege of the Mongol coalition army, and strongly asked Zhao Junchen to send a large army to support Jiezhou City as soon as possible, and also said that the Mongolian coalition army was too strong, and the Ming army was by no means an opponent, and suggested that when Zhao Junchen sent troops to support Jiezhou City, the number of reinforcements must not be less than 150,000!

Even through this piece of letter, Zhao Junchen could feel Guan Wuyuan's panic and panic at that time.

Fortunately, because the Mongol coalition army had already surrounded Jiezhou City at that time, it was extremely difficult for Jiezhou City to exchange news with the outside world, so when Zhao Junchen received this secret letter, the Mongolian coalition army had already retreated from Jiezhou City.

Otherwise, if Zhao Junchen received this secret letter in advance, he was afraid that he would have to be distracted and worried about the situation in Jiezhou City.

After reading this secret letter, Zhao Junchen casually threw it into the brazier.

The content of this secret letter can be regarded as a small handle of Guan Wuyuan, but Guan Wuyuan has too many handles in Zhao Junchen's hands, so this secret letter is of little use.

Seeing Xu Qingyan throw this secret letter into the brazier, Zhao Junchen shook his head and said with a smile: "It's really lucky, Guan Wuyuan, a person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, would even pick up such a great achievement in vain!"

originally thought that even if he broke through the royal tent of the Ordos tribe this time, it would be impossible for him to capture Qiyan and Qigemu and others alive......

Such a great feat, it is not inferior to my record of annihilating the Mongolian coalition army at the beginning! Hey! It really made this pig fly into the sky! Fortunately, He Zhang and Fang Zhenshan obeyed my arrangement, and they also captured Qi Yan and Qi Gemu alive, otherwise such a national war that has not been seen in a hundred years would have made an embroidered pillow with a strong foreign force out of the limelight and take advantage of it, but it was too ironic! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's ridicule and ridicule, Xu Qingyan was a little unhappy.

I saw Xu Qingyan couldn't help but say: "Young master, you can't say that, General Guan's true talent and real learning are certainly poor, but his loyalty and filial piety to you can be learned from the sun and the moon!" In any case, he is his own person after all, and it is better to let him pick up the cheap than to let outsiders pick up the cheap! ”

Hearing Xu Qingyan's "righteous words", Zhao Junchen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh again, and said: "You, you just can't see the silver!" ”

Zhao Junchen naturally understood why Xu Qingyan took the initiative to say good things for Guan Wuyuan.

In fact, it is now the time when Xu Qingyan has the best impression of Guan Wuyuan and has the strongest favorability.

For no other reason, Guan Wuyuan sent a good news to Huamachiying, and also sent a secret letter to Zhao Junchen.

In the secret letter, Guan Wuyuan wrote in detail all the seizures after the middle army broke through the royal tent of the Ordos tribe.

The Ordos tribe occupied the rich and fertile Hetao region for 200 years, and every year they would send troops south to plunder the Han people, and the wealth accumulated in the king's tent was naturally astronomical.

According to Guan Wuyuan's report, the seizure of the middle route army this time was as much as 250,000 taels of gold alone, more than 180,000 taels of silver, and countless jewels.

In the end, Guan Wuyuan privately withheld 200,000 taels of gold, and took the initiative to give Zhao Junchen 150,000 taels of gold!

This secret letter is very important, but Zhao Junchen kept it in his hands and did not burn it in the brazier.

One tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and 150,000 taels of gold is equivalent to 1.5 million taels of silver!

It is precisely because of this that Xu Qingyan now simply regards Guan Wuyuan as a relative, and thinks that Guan Wuyuan's loyalty and respect for Zhao Junchen are beyond doubt!

Therefore, before Xu Qingyan's excitement passed, he was also willing to take the initiative to say a few good words for Guan Wuyuan.

However, compared with the 150,000 taels of gold that Guan Wuyuan gave him this time, Zhao Junchen paid more attention to the cattle, sheep and horses captured in this battle!

After the pilot of the United Shipping Company, the plan of commercial tax reform will soon be extended to the northwest provinces, and the horses seized from the Ordos tribe are just enough to allow the Jin merchants to form a large team of chariots and horses, so that the commercial activities and material exchanges in the northwest will become more active!

The cattle and sheep of the Mongolian tribe are all excellent breeds that are coarse, cold-tolerant, and disease-resistant, and can be handed over to the refugees accepted by Zhao Junchen for grazing, and some of the cattle and horses can also help the refugees cultivate the fields.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen had already sent messengers to send orders to Guan Wuyuan, Fang Zhenshan and others, asking them to privately intercept a batch of cattle, sheep and horses and sell them to the "Jubao Commercial Bank" and the Jinshang Group at a low price.

Soon, these cattle, sheep and horses will be diverted into Zhao Junchen's various industries.

In short, after the imperial court recovered the Hetao region, Zhao Junchen once again reaped countless benefits.

War is indeed a shortcut to development and prosperity!

*

Soon, Zhao Junchen and Xu Qingyan had burned all the letters and official documents.

Then, just after the two of them washed the dust off their faces, they heard the staff member Niu Fude knocking on the door and reporting: "Lord Zhao, the carriages and horses are ready, you can leave for Beijing at any time!" In addition, after hearing that you were about to leave, Liang Ge Lao and the officials of Huamachi Camp have now gathered at the east gate of Huamachi Camp and want to see you off! ”

"I see, it's over!"

After speaking, Zhao Junchen pushed the door and left the room, walking towards the outside of the governor's mansion.

There, Zuo Lanshan and Bao Wenjie have been preparing and waiting for Zhao Junchen for a long time, and they will return to the capital with Zhao Junchen.

After seeing Zuo Lanshan and Bao Wenjie, the three of them exchanged a few polite words to each other, and then they each got into the carriage and rushed to the east gate of Huamachi Camp.

Just like what Niu Fude reported, all the officials of the Huamachi camp from Liang Fuchen and Li Ruan down to Liang Fuchen gathered here, waiting to see off Zhao Junchen.

Therefore, after arriving at the east gate of Huamachi Camp, Zhao Junchen got off the carriage again and said goodbye to the officials one by one.

After Liang Fuchen saw Zhao Junchen appear, a smile appeared on his always serious old face, and he took the initiative to say, "Lord Zhao's body has recovered?" Why are you so eager to return to Beijing? It would be better to rest for a few more days. ”

Zhao Junchen also regained his respectful appearance when he saw Liang Fuchen before, and said with a smile: "Thank you Liang Ge for your concern, the younger generation's body has not yet recovered, but after all, he has recovered some strength, and he can start on the road!" His Majesty clearly asked the juniors to return to the capital as soon as possible in the holy decree, and the rest of the past few days has already been regarded as a protest against the decree, but he does not dare to delay any longer! ”

Liang Fuchen said slowly: "Lord Zhao is in too much of a hurry, the old man originally planned to hold a banquet to see him off, but when he received the news, Lord Zhao's servants had already prepared their carriages and horses, saying that they were going to leave immediately, but the old man was unprepared in a hurry, so he had to rush here with all his colleagues to see off Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Junchen's smile became more respectful and humble, and said, "Thank you Liang Ge for your trouble, the younger generation is grateful!" But the younger generation didn't dare to resist the will, but they didn't dare to delay for a moment! ”

Liang Fuchen arched his hand and said: "In this case, the old man is here to wish Lord Zhao a smooth journey!" ”

Zhao Junchen also bowed his hand and said: "Now the plan of the imperial court to restore the set has been successful, but there are still many troublesome things in the future, if Liang Ge Lao will be useful to get the younger generation in the future, please do not hesitate to command!" ”

Between the two talking, it can be said that the atmosphere is harmonious and bustling, as if the turmoil a few days ago not only did not affect the relationship between the two, but made their relationship more harmonious and close.

But in fact, only they know what the two really think.

After being polite with Liang Fuchen, the superintendent Li Ru'an also took a step forward and said goodbye to Zhao Junchen: "The imperial court's war to recover the Hetao has been successful, and Lord Zhao can be said to have made great contributions, and after returning to Beijing, he will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court again!" It's a pity that the war on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu is undecided, and our family has to stay in Huamachi Camp for a while, and we can't witness the moment when Lord Zhao is glorified again! We are here to congratulate Lord Zhao in advance! After our family returns to the capital after a while, we will congratulate Lord Zhao! ”

Zhao Junchen still bowed his hand with a cordial attitude: "Thank you Li Jianjun for your good words!" Since this period of time, Li Jianjun has continuously assisted Liang Ge Lao and me to accomplish many important things, and it is also indispensable! I believe that after Li Jianjun returns to the inner court in the future, he will inevitably be reused by His Majesty, and I also want to congratulate Li Jianjun in advance! ”

Next, all the officials rushed to talk to Zhao Junchen to see him off.

After Zhao Junchen returned to the capital this time, it would be difficult to meet again, so he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity and get closer!

"The imperial court successfully recovered the Hetao, and Lord Zhao made great contributions, and the court will inevitably have another reward, and the word 'immortal' in front of Lord Zhao's title may be taken off!"

"Yes, this time the imperial court successfully recovered the Hetao, no matter what, it is inseparable from Lord Zhao's command and central scheduling, once the word 'immortal' is removed, Lord Zhao's title will be hereditary, then it will be a real honor!"

"Lord Zhao has a safe journey! Xiaguan served under the account of Lord Zhao during this time, which can be described as the glory of a lifetime, and it should always be remembered and never forgotten in a lifetime! ”

"Yes, we have really benefited a lot from following Lord Zhao's account during this time! I hope that Lord Zhao will not forget us people in the future! ”

When the officials said goodbye, many people mentioned Zhao Junchen's meritorious service.

In fact, in the later period when the imperial court sent troops to recover the Hetao, Zhao Junchen had been pretending to be sick and did not play a big role.

However, Zhao Junchen is the second highest status in the three borders of Shaanxi and Gansu after Liang Fuchen, as long as he sits in this position, whether it is merit or demerit reward or punishment, he will inevitably have his share.

In fact, don't look at Guan Wuyuan, Fang Zhenshan, He Zhang and others have been receiving good news and great achievements these days, but when they are rewarded for their merits and deeds afterwards, they can only be ranked from the third place to the back, and the first two people on the list of meritorious deeds must be Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen, even if their merits are great, it is also because Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen are well commanded.

It took half an hour, and Zhao Junchen finally said goodbye to all the officials one by one.

Then, Zhao Junchen boarded the carriage again.

After the carriage moved slowly, Zhao Junchen lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved goodbye to the officials again.

However, when Zhao Junchen waved his hand, his eyes were firmly fixed on Huamachiying.

During this period of time, Zhao Junchen has invested too much here, not only risking his life, but also working day and night, but he also has some feelings.

"Goodbye, Shaangan, I hope that the next time I come here is because I want to come, not because I am forced to take risks, and I hope that the next time I leave here is because I want to go...... It is not because of a holy decree that we are forced to give up the painstaking plan and the low-hanging fruit! ”

While thinking deeply, Zhao Junchen lowered the curtains of the carriage and returned to the carriage to sit down.

And Zhao Junchen's carriage was slowly driving in the direction of the capital!
