Zhao Junchen disbanded the new army in such a hurry precisely because Liang Fuchen was about to rush to the Huamachi camp.

Therefore, after the soldiers received their promotion arrangements, the celebration time was only one day.

Early the next morning, the soldiers received another order from Zhao Junchen, telling them to leave the Huamachi camp as soon as possible and rush to their respective stations to take up their posts.

The soldiers did not dare to disobey Zhao Junchen's order, although they were reluctant to give up their robes in their hearts, and they were still unsatisfied, but they still acted in accordance with the order.

In the end, the soldiers who were promoted to become middle and lower-level military attaches in various places rushed to their respective stations to serve, and some of the soldiers who were not promoted also became their confidants and soldiers, and left the Huamachi camp with them, and the rest of the soldiers were under the leadership of Liu Manniu, all of whom changed their identities and became the private soldiers of Fang Zhenshan, the general soldier of Guyuan.

In the past few days, Zhao Junchen can be said to have frequently issued orders to constantly change military attaches and garrisons in various parts of Shaanxi and Gansu, a large number of military attaches have changed positions, countless border troops have changed their stations, and the northwest border defense system has been thrown into a mess.

Zhao Junchen's approach, on the one hand, was to lay out the plan for the next step for the imperial court to send troops to recover the Hetao, and on the other hand, it was also to cover up the whereabouts and current situation of the soldiers of the new army.

Therefore, on the fourth day of Zhao Junchen's return to the Huamachi camp, the camp of the new army of soldiers was no longer lively, and this brave army that had repeatedly created legends on the battlefield had completely ceased to exist.

It was also in the afternoon of this day that Zhao Junchen received news that Liang Fuchen had entered the station of Huamachi Camp.

*

After receiving the news, Zhao Junchen naturally did not dare to slack off.

Liang Fuchen's identity as a plenipotentiary envoy, as well as his prestige and mind, are enough to make Zhao Junchen pay attention to it.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen immediately announced the news that Liang Fuchen was about to arrive at the Huamachi camp to the whole army, and led all the civil and military officials of the Huamachi camp out of the camp for ten miles to greet him.

After Zhao Junchen and the civil and military officials left the camp for ten miles, as soon as they set up the queue, they saw Liang Fuchen's carriage appear from a distance, and the coachman who was responsible for driving the carriage was Xu Qingyan, who had not been seen for a long time.

Zhao Junchen hurriedly greeted him, and after nodding lightly to Xu Qingyan, he bowed and saluted: "Senior Zhao Junchen, welcome Liang Ge Lao!" ”

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, all the officials behind him knelt down and saluted, and said in unison: "Xiaguan and others greet Lord Qincha!" ”

Liang Fuchen is now the identity of the plenipotentiary Qincha, representing the presence of Emperor Deqing, but Zhao Junchen is also the identity of the Qincha for disaster relief, and also represents the presence of Emperor Deqing in person, so Zhao Junchen will not bow to Liang Fuchen, but just bow lightly and call himself a "junior".

Under the greeting of everyone, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Liang Fuchen finally appeared in front of everyone.

Because he was imprisoned by the "horse bandits" for many days, Liang Fuchen's face was a little sickly pale, and his body was also a little thin and weak.

After Zhao Junchen saw Liang Fuchen's appearance, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Liang Fuchen get out of the carriage.

"Thank you, Lord Zhao! The old man has already heard about your great achievements in annihilating the Mongolian coalition army this time, and you have done a good job, even if you change the old man to your position, I am afraid that it is not as good as you! The old man didn't expect that in addition to the skills of financial management, Lord Zhao, you also have the ability to march and fight...... It's a pity that the old man delayed his trip because of an accident and failed to assist Lord Zhao to complete this great feat! ”

After getting out of the carriage, Liang Fuchen gently patted Zhao Junchen's shoulder and said with a relieved face.

Liang Fuchen suspected that Zhao Junchen was the mastermind behind his kidnapping by horse bandits, but he had not yet found evidence, and Zhao Junchen was now in the limelight, so he would not tear his face with Zhao Junchen.

But when he spoke, Liang Fuchen's eyes were extremely sharp, staring at Zhao Junchen's face tightly, not letting go of the slightest change in Zhao Junchen's expression, as if he wanted to see the depths of Zhao Junchen's heart!

In front of Liang Fuchen, Zhao Junchen was still low-key and humble, as if he didn't notice the temptation between Liang Fuchen's words at all, and just replied with a smile: "Elder Liang Ge is really overrated, where do the younger generations have the ability to march and fight!" Since taking over the military administration of Shaanxi and Gansu, the younger generation has always been trembling and walking on thin ice, only feeling that they cannot shoulder heavy responsibilities, and they are also looking forward to the arrival of Liang Ge Lao day and night......

I didn't expect it to be a coincidence, because the Mongols were arrogant and greedy, and they actually reaped a great achievement, but thinking back on the course of several battles, I still feel that I was lucky in my heart. ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "Elder Liang Ge don't have to be discouraged, although you haven't caught up with the previous battles, the current situation on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu is still promising!" ”

Liang Fuchen didn't know that Zhao Junchen had a plan to recover the Hetao next, thinking that Zhao Junchen's statement was just to comfort himself, so he didn't say more, just took out a bright yellow holy decree scroll from his sleeve, and said solemnly: "Zhao Junchen takes the order!" ”

Seeing Liang Fuchen take out the holy decree, Zhao Junchen hurriedly took a few steps back and knelt down with all the civil and military officials to receive the decree.

Liang Fuchen unfolded the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: appoint Liang Fuchen, a scholar of Dongge University and a young protector, as the envoy of Shaanxi and Gansu with full power, in charge of all military and political affairs in Shaanxi and Gansu, and command the border armies in various places to resist the Mongol Tartars!" Zhao Junchen, the secretary of the household department, was dismissed from the post of disaster relief and changed to the deputy envoy of the plenipotentiary mission, and in Shaanxi and Gansu, he still mainly helped the victims, and assisted Liang Fuchen in handling military and political affairs. ”

When the holy decree was read, Liang Fuchen's expression was a little embarrassed.

This decree was given to him by Emperor Deqing when he left Beijing, when the Ming army and the Mongols were not at war, and Liang Fuchen's main duty was also to command the border troops in various places to resist the invasion of the Mongol coalition forces.

But because Liang Fuchen was kidnapped by the "horse bandits", it was a delay in the opportunity, and did not catch up with the war, and now it is already a time has passed, and the invasion of the Mongol coalition army has not only ended, but also was completely annihilated by Zhao Junchen on the south bank of Weishui, and the content of this holy decree is obviously out of place.

It's a pity that Liang Fuchen received the holy decree with his own hands, so he had to read it hard at this time.

Zhao Junchen already knew the content of this holy decree, and after listening to Liang Fuchen's reading of the holy decree, his face remained unchanged, but he said loudly: "Minister Zhao Junchen has the decree!" ”

After saluting again, Zhao Junchen stood up, his expression was full of lightness, and said with a smile: "Now that Elder Liang Ge is personally in charge of the Shaanxi and Gansu military formations, the burden on the juniors can finally be lifted, and I am really relieved!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen turned to the civil and military officials and instructed: "The content of the holy decree, you have also heard it, from now on, all matters on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu must be based on the elder Liang Ge, you still have to work hard, and you must not be slack!" ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, all the civil and military officials said in unison: "Xiaguan and the others must serve with their hearts, and they will never dare to disappoint Lord Qincha and Deputy Envoy Qincha!" ”

Hearing the expressions of the civil and military officials, Liang Fuchen couldn't help frowning.

In this holy decree, it has been clearly stated that Liang Fuchen is the envoy of the plenipotentiary Qincha, in charge of all military and political affairs on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Zhao Junchen is only the deputy envoy of the Qincha, only the assistant of Liang Fuchen, mainly responsible for disaster relief matters, the authority of the two can be said to be very different, but after the civil and military officials heard this holy decree, they still put Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen side by side, obviously Zhao Junchen's prestige has far exceeded Liang Fuchen's imagination, even if he has the identity of the plenipotentiary Qincha, I'm afraid that it may not be able to suppress Zhao Junchen's limelight.

But Liang Fuchen didn't show more emotion, just nodded and said: "The old man delayed his trip because of an accident, and the content of this holy decree is obviously a little out of place, but the old man can't disobey His Majesty's will, and he will be in charge of all military and political affairs on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu in the future, and I hope that all of you can work together and walk hand in hand with the old man!" ”

After speaking, Liang Fuchen turned his head to Zhao Junchen and said: "Now that the war on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu has ended, presumably there will be a new will coming from the center of the capital soon, and you and I will also have new appointments at that time. ”

Liang Fuchen's attitude towards Zhao Junchen was still unusually polite, and there was no hostility at all, as if Zhao Junchen was the junior he admired the most, and he didn't put on a show, giving Zhao Junchen enough respect.

But the more this is the case, the more Zhao Junchen dare not slack off.

Liang Fuchen is the top person in the temple, and his scheming methods are also very clever, far from being comparable to the local officials in Shaanxi and Gansu, Zhao Junchen also knows that Liang Fuchen is doubting himself now, and no one knows what means Liang Fuchen will use in the future.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen hurriedly said: "Please rest assured that Elder Liang Ge will fully assist you in the future, and you will never dare to slack off!" ”

Liang Fuchen nodded and said: "In this case, let's return to Huamachi Camp as soon as possible, the old man needs to understand the current situation on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu as soon as possible, as well as the war during this period of time." ”

After Zhao Junchen nodded in agreement, he ordered all the civil and military officials to accompany Liang Fuchen back to the Huamachi camp.

Then, Zhao Junchen once again stretched out his hand to help Liang Fuchen board the carriage, and took the opportunity to whisper in Liang Fuchen's ear: "Please rest assured that Liang Ge Lao is that few people know the news about your abduction by horse bandits this time, and the civil and military officials in Shaanxi and Gansu will never dare to underestimate you." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Liang Fuchen still didn't move, just nodded lightly and said: "Lord Zhao really has a heart, if you hadn't sent someone to rescue the old man this time, the old man wouldn't know what the fate would have been now!" The old man has always had clear grievances, there is kindness to repay kindness, there is revenge, and there will be something in return in the future! ”

After speaking, Liang Fuchen entered the carriage.

Zhao Junchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

Liang Fuchen's so-called "return" does it mean to "repay kindness"? Or does it mean "revenge"?

*

Soon, with the support of all civil and military officials, he returned to the Huamachi camp and entered the trilateral governor's palace.

After Wang Zheng and Zhao Junchen, Liang Fuchen also became the new master of the Trilateral Governor's Palace.

In fact, after receiving the news that Liang Fuchen was about to arrive at Huamachi Camp, Zhao Junchen had already given up his room in advance, and transferred the main hall, the large study, and the bedroom with the best environment to Liang Fuchen.

Zhao Junchen will still stay in the governor's palace to work and live, but only find a few very inconspicuous rooms.

Like Zhao Junchen, Liang Fuchen's style was also vigorous and resolute, he only rested for a while, and then summoned all the civil and military officials to the main hall of the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters, completely ignoring his physical exhaustion.

After all the civil and military officials arrived, Liang Fuchen asked everyone about the current situation of the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, as well as the details of several battles.

In the face of Liang Fuchen's inquiry, everyone did not dare to hide it, and they all gave detailed answers to 1510.

Soon, Liang Fuchen had already controlled the general situation of the Shaanxi and Gansu sides during this period of time.

During this period, when Liang Fuchen learned the news of Qi Bin's death, his face was full of shock and incredulity, and there was some irrepressible sadness.

Qi Bin ...... Actually killed in battle? ”

Qi Bin was single-handedly pulled by Liang Fuchen, and he can be said to be Liang Fuchen's confidant, he has always been capable and loyal, and Liang Fuchen treats him like his own son and nephew.

Now, when he suddenly heard the news of Qi Bin's death, Liang Fuchen was naturally hit hard.

What's more, in order to investigate the truth that he was kidnapped by horse bandits, Liang Fuchen has left many of his henchmen at the junction of Shaanxi and Shanxi, this is because Liang Fuchen thinks that Huamachi Camp still has Qi Bin as a helper, but now with Qi Bin's death in battle, Liang Fuchen is a little weak in Huamachi Camp.

Seeing Liang Fuchen's appearance, Zhao Junchen was also a little unbearable, as if a crocodile would shed tears, and his face was also sad, and said: "Since I came to Shaanxi and Gansu, I have always had great expectations for Qi Bin, and after learning the news of his untimely death, I have also been sad for a long time, but people can't be resurrected after death, and I hope that Liang Ge's old festival will change!" ”

After Liang Fuchen closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, he finally said slowly: "Die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears...... Qi Bin, a child, his greatest wish is to die on the battlefield for the sake of the people of the court, he once told the old man that he would rather die on the battlefield after killing all the enemies than dying on the sickbed...... Now he has died on the battlefield, but unfortunately the time is too early, he is only twenty-six years old, he has not received enough military merits, and he has not shown all his talents, it is a pity that he died in battle so silently......"

After speaking, Liang Fuchen took out a handkerchief and wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, then turned to Zhao Junchen and asked, "What is the situation of the new army that Qi Bin trained?" ”

Obviously, after learning the news of Qi Bin's death in battle, Liang Fuchen immediately started the idea of "Patriotic Army".

Liang Fuchen knew very well that this army was well-trained and had great potential, so he was naturally unwilling to let this army fall into the hands of others.

Liang Fuchen believed that when he was in charge of the Huamachi camp, if he had the full support of this army, many things would be much easier.

Zhao Junchen could also guess Liang Fuchen's thoughts, and immediately replied: "In order to inherit Qi Bin's legacy, this army has been renamed the 'Patriotic Army' by me, and it is temporarily commanded by Mao Jiadong and Mao Baihu, but the middle and lower-level military attaches in the army are still the ones personally promoted by Qi Bin, and they are also stationed in the Huamachi camp." ”

Liang Fuchen nodded lightly and said, "Weiguojun, this is a good name...... But after all, Mao Baihu is the identity of Jinyiwei, and he commands this army, I am afraid that it is a little unjustifiable, not to mention that he will return to the capital sooner or later......

In this way, after this meeting, the old man will summon all the middle-level military attaches of the Patriotic Army, personally inspect their hearts and skills, and select one of these military attaches to serve as the chief general of the Patriotic Army! Compared with ordinary border armies, the training methods and combat methods of this army are completely different, and it is best to select one person from within to be the most suitable general! ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said: "Elder Liang Ge, you are now the person in charge of the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the team of the Patriotic Army is also formed by Elder Liang Ge himself, so everything is naturally up to Elder Liang Ge to decide." ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen's decision to support him like this, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

But Zhao Junchen knew that the chess piece he arranged in the Patriotic Army, that is, the Zhao family's disciple "Li He", would soon have a chance to perform!

Liang Fuchen didn't know that the Patriotic Army, which he had great expectations, had already been secretly infiltrated by Zhao Junchen, he just finished talking about the Patriotic Army, and then turned his head to the veteran He Zhang and said: "Qi Bin's death in the battle really made the old man feel painful, but fortunately, the performance of General He was not bad at all, and he repeatedly shouldered heavy responsibilities and turned the tide, and he deserved to be the first general in Shaanxi and Gansu!" ”

After Qi Bin's death, even if Liang Fuchen re-selected and promoted a chief general from within the Patriotic Army, the qualifications and prestige of the new chief general were insufficient to provide sufficient support for Liang Fuchen.

Therefore, Liang Fuchen quickly turned his attention to He Zhang, hoping that He Zhang could become his supporter.

According to Liang Fuchen's thoughts, He Zhang's character has always been upright, he is a well-known loyal and courageous person, and he has always respected himself.

However, Liang Fuchen was still disappointed.

After hearing Liang Fuchen's commendation, He Zhang immediately stood up and said in a loud voice: "I don't dare to take credit for my humble position, if it weren't for the strategic planning and central command of Lord Zhao, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, the humble position would never have today's military merits!" ”

He Zhang's staff Fu Pingsheng wanted to let He Zhang defect to Liang Fuchen, he believed that Zhao Junchen was not the master, but Liang Fuchen was an important member of the "Imperial Party", and taking refuge in Liang Fuchen was equivalent to taking refuge in Emperor Deqing, which was the real smooth road.

Now, Liang Fuchen personally opened his mouth to recruit He Zhang, but He Zhang made it clear that everything he was based on Zhao Junchen, and if Fu Pingsheng saw such a situation with his own eyes, he would definitely beat his chest.

On the other side, after seeing He Zhang's statement, Liang Fuchen's brows condensed slightly, but he quickly remained silent.

Next, Liang Fuchen used the name of opening his mouth to commend and inquire about the situation, and talked with a number of civil and military officials one after another, taking the opportunity to test their positions and attitudes.

But when these civil and military officials answered, they either attributed all their actions to Zhao Junchen like He Zhang, or said that everything was based on Zhao Junchen, but no matter who answered, they would not bypass Zhao Junchen, and many people would deliberately peek into Zhao Junchen's expression before answering, for fear that their answers would make Zhao Junchen dissatisfied.

Seeing such a situation, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but feel a little heavy, and only felt that Zhao Junchen's influence and control over the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu were far beyond his imagination.

When Liang Fuchen served as the governor of the three sides in the past, he was also considered to have a high prestige, but it was far from being comparable to the current Zhao Junchen.

In fact, because of Zhao Junchen's birth, the prestige that Liang Fuchen left behind has long been swept away.

This is also a matter of course, compared with Zhao Junchen's efforts to turn the tide and make great achievements, Liang Fuchen was kidnapped by horse bandits when he first entered Shaanxi and Gansu, and the performance of the two can be said to be very different, which naturally makes the prestige and influence of the two disappear.

Liang Fuchen is a person with a tough personality, although he was also in a heavy mood after seeing the situation in Huamachiying, he did not have any despair, but he just felt that he needed to spend more time and effort to gradually remove Zhao Junchen's influence.

This is bound to be a long-term process with slow results.

Liang Fuchen will not be in a hurry to make a move, he is a very patient person.

After finding out the current situation of the Shaanxi and Gansu trisides, Liang Fuchen also planned to end the meeting in time, only to see him say slowly: "The current situation of the Shaanxi and Gansu trisides, the old man has already understood!" Although the Mongol coalition army was completely annihilated in the first battle of Weishui, there are still many remaining problems after the war, and the old man believes that the Huamachi camp should take action as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, and everything should be based on stability......

However, Zhao Junchen, who had always been looking forward to Liang Fuchen since he came to Huamachi Camp, suddenly coughed lightly and interrupted Liang Fuchen's words.

Then, Zhao Junchen said to Liang Fuchen: "Elder Liang Ge, regarding the future development of the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, the juniors here still have some different ideas, and they need to talk to you privately. ”

During the period when Liang Fuchen was imprisoned by the "horse bandits", the development of the war in Shaanxi and Gansu was much smoother than Zhao Junchen expected, which also made Zhao Junchen have greater ambitions, that is, to further recover the Hetao.

Zhao Junchen not only wrote this matter in detail and sent it to the center of the capital, but all kinds of actions during this period of time were also carried out according to this plan.

Liang Fuchen didn't know this, so he said all the proposals that focus on stability.

Such a proposal did not match Zhao Junchen's plan, so it was naturally interrupted by Zhao Junchen.

Because the imperial court had not yet taken a clear attitude, Zhao Junchen did not announce his plan to recover the Hetao, so he planned to have a private conversation with Liang Fuchen.

After seeing Zhao Junchen talking out about himself, Liang Fuchen did not have any displeasure on the surface, but nodded and said: "Lord Zhao has been in charge of the military and political provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu during this time, not only has he made great achievements, but everything is also in order, and now he has different ideas, the old man is naturally willing to listen!" ”

After speaking, Liang Fuchen announced the adjournment of the meeting, allowing all the civil and military officials to leave one after another, and Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen were left in the main hall.
