Of the more than 100 people, more than half were officials, and the rest were soldiers who accompanied them to protect them.

When Wei Bao arrived at the city gate and waited, Sun Chengzong also arrived with people.

"Teacher." Wei Bao saluted respectfully.

Sun Chengzong was full of joy when he saw Wei Bao, and said with a smile: "Xiaobao, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are doing it very well now, what the hundreds of thousands of imperial army in Liaodong and Jiliao have not done, you can do it with a Weijiazhuang!" actually took down the Liaoyang City of Jiannu! Very good, very good, very happy for the teacher! ”

Wei Bao smiled, secretly thinking that this was so slippery, it is estimated that Sun Chengzong thought about it many times along the way, right? "That's thanks to the teacher, if it weren't for the blessing of the teacher, Xiaobao would never be able to do it."

Sun Chengzong smiled and nodded, he could see Wei Bao, he was really happy in his heart, he was afraid that this trip would come to Liaoyang, and the result would be that Liaoyang City was in the hands of Jiannu, and he ran for nothing!

Sun Chengzong's intelligence lagged behind, Sun Chengzong thought that Wei Bao had just captured Liaoyang City, but what he didn't know was that Wei Bao had now controlled Fuzhou, Yongning, Xiuyan, Xuancheng, Tangzhan, Dangerous Mountain Fort, Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou, and Ximu City!

It can be said that three-quarters of southern Liaoning is already under Wei Bao's control!

If Sun Chengzong knew all this, he didn't know how to feel.

Wei Bao understood that Sun Chengzong probably only knew that he had captured Liaoyang City, and he might not know anything else, so he didn't rush to explain.

"Good, good, victorious but not arrogant." Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Chonghuan, you can help you introduce the generals." ”

Yuan Chonghuan bowed down and agreed, and smiled at Wei Bao: "Senior brother, I haven't been seen for a while, senior brother misses you very much, I helped you find several adults who promoted you as a transfer envoy in southern Liaoning, and the teacher didn't bother less for the sake of the junior brother's affairs." ”

Wei Bao nodded, Sun Chengzong and Wu Xiang justifiably won the fame for him, and what strength he did behind him as the Liaoning Southern Transit Envoy, Wei Bao was clear.

"Thank you, brother!" Wei Bao smiled at Yuan Chonghuan.

Wei Bao doesn't hate Yuan Chonghuan, definitely can't talk about hating, but he can't talk about having a good impression either, Wei Bao is actually about the same for everyone in this era, and he can still look at it objectively.

This is true for Wu Xiang, this is true for Sun Chengzong, and it is also true for Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, and Mao Wenlong.

Although in modern times, I am very interested in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and I have more or less preconceived notions about these people.

But in this era, Wei Bao still thinks more about the perspective of interests, and whoever can bring benefits to himself is a friend.

Didn't the elder Churchill say that there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests?

Whether Lao Qiu said it or not, Wei Bao can't remember clearly, anyway, there must be a powerful politician who said this.

This is a wise saying.

"My own people, nothing polite." Yuan Chonghuan speaks a nondescript and stiff Beijing accent, mixed with a thick southern mountain accent, which is not incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Wei Bao, who has come from modern times, is easy to understand any dialect of this era, and there are not many obstacles.

"Let me introduce to my junior brother, this Lord Wang Jianbin is the commander of the commission, this Lord Zhang Rui is the commander of the commission, this Lord Gao Zhengda is the commander of the commission, this Lord Wang Hu is the commissioner of the Liaoyang Prefect, this ......" Yuan Chonghuan introduced more than 60 officials to Wei Bao in one breath.

It almost covers the main officials that can be imagined in the entire southern Liaoning region!

Appointment means that when there is a shortage of staff in the official office, other officials are appointed to act as their agent.

The Command Department is the official signature, referred to as the Metropolitan Division, which belongs to one of the three divisions of the province, the highest local military leadership body in the Ming Dynasty, and is a military institution set up by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen the centralization of feudal absolutism, similar to China's modern military region.

At the local level, the Zhongshu Province was changed to the Department of Political Envoys of Chengxuan, the provincial system was abolished, and the Department of Political Envoys of Chengxuan (hereinafter referred to as the Political Division), the Department of Procuratorial Envoys (referred to as the Department of Justice), and the Department of Command and Envoy (referred to as the Department of Justice) were in charge of the administration, justice, and military affairs of a province, and were called the "three divisions".

The three divisions are not subordinate to each other, and each is responsible to the central government. The Metropolitan Command and Envoy Department is responsible for the management of the guards and military-related affairs within its jurisdiction, and is the highest military leadership body in the local peacetime, which is subordinate to the Central Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces and is under the orders of the Ministry of War.

In addition to the provincial capital divisions, there are separate capital divisions in important border defense areas, and the rule of military and civilian integration is implemented, such as the Liaodong capital division, which governs Liao Zhongwei; Daning Division, governing Daning Wei; Wanquan Division, Zhiyi Mansion Guard.

In addition to the provincial capitals of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Huguang, Fujian, and Sichuan on the border and maritime frontiers, the command and envoy departments of the capital have been set up to supplement the capital division.

The Ming Dynasty had a total of 21 divisions, the capital division, they are: Zhejiang Division, Liaodong Division, Shandong Division (under the Left Army Governor's Office), Shaanxi Division, Shaanxi Division, Sichuan Division, Sichuan Division, Guangxi Division, Yunnan Division, Guizhou Division, Henan Division, Huguang Division, Huguang Division, Fujian Division, Fujian Division, Jiangxi Division, Guangdong Division, Daning Division, Wanquan Division, Shanxi Division, Shanxi Division( Subordinate to the Military Governor's Office).

All command envoys set up 1 commander envoy, and they are two products. Both command the same knowledge of 2 people, from the second grade. All commanded 4 people, and they were three products. Experience the experience of the division, is six products. All things, is seven products. Judgment Division, Judgment Division, Positive Six Products; Deputy judge, is the seventh product. Si Prison Division Si Prison, from the nine products. The three functional organs of the Experience Division, the Adjudication Division, and the Prison Division are respectively responsible for handling official correspondence and prison matters. If there is a major military affairs in the locality, the three divisions must discuss and report to the imperial court in parallel. Every year, it is supervised by the imperial court officials and governors, and is summarized and selected every five years. In addition, there are warehouses, grassland ambassadors, deputy envoys and other Peng subordinates. The division of labor within the capital division is generally that all command envoys, fellow intellectuals, and servants, and one of them leads the secretary, which is called the palm seal; One person is responsible for military training, one person is responsible for Tuntian, called the book, and some are in charge of patrol and capture, armaments, transportation, Beijing exercises, preparation and other affairs. Those who do not take on specific duties are called belts. Experience, all matters are in charge of documents, and the punishment of the army is dealt with.

Under the capital division, there are guard command envoys, thousands of households, and hundreds of households. There are 5,600 people per bathroom, divided into 5 thousand households in the front, back, left, right and middle. The 1,000 households are further divided into 10 100 households, with 112 people per 100 households. The guards were stationed in peacetime, and were ordered to attack and defend in wartime. In wartime, the imperial court temporarily ordered generals, and not the capital commander commanded the battle.

The Metropolitan Guard Office was originally a military establishment and had nothing to do with administrative divisions. However, the border guard post also takes care of civil affairs, and in fact it has become a local administrative division. Therefore, Du Siwei is divided into solid soil and non-solid land. In areas where there are no prefectures, prefectures, and counties, the health office is also in charge of civil affairs, and it is a real land guard.

In the northeastern, northwestern, and southwestern minority areas, the Ming Dynasty established the feudal capital guards, such as the Nuer Gandu Division, the Wusi Zangdu Division, and the Duogan Capital Division. The commanders, commanders, thousand-households, hundred-households and other officials are served by the local tribal leaders, and they can be hereditary, but they must accept the unified control of the imperial court. This kind of policy of adapting to customs is conducive to local development.

Liaoyang City was originally the location of the Liaodong Metropolitan Command Envoy, but now it has been recaptured by Wei Bao, and the Ming Dynasty naturally wants to restore the administration.

After listening to the introduction of so many people, Wei Bao suddenly felt that his head was big, originally there were Jiannu in southern Liaoning, and Mao Wenlong's people and horses, it was enough for a headache, but now that the Ming Dynasty and Jiliao Governor's Mansion were in trouble, the situation would be even more troublesome.

"Teacher, let's go to the city and rest." Wei Bao suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and squeezed out a little smile to everyone.

Although Wei Bao was reminded by Wu Xuexia before coming, he probably had some psychological preparations, but he would definitely not be happy if he sent so many ghosts to the territory he had worked so hard to fight.

Sun Chengzong saw Wei Bao's thoughts, smiled indifferently, and asked everyone to follow into the city, while he walked beside Wei Bao.

"Xiaobao, don't be careful, most of these people are appointed by me. The situation in southern Liaoning is unclear, ordinary people really don't dare to come, most of these people are people from my Jiliao Governor's Mansion, like the commander is the official rank of the second grade, and this commission is only a fourth-grade official for the time being, and there is not much real power, for the time being, it is up to you to decide. Sun Chengzong said.

"But after a while, if I can really take the whole of southern Liaoning, won't the imperial court still have to officially appoint people? Won't it be just as troublesome then!? If I can take the whole of Liaonan, can the imperial court appoint me as the commander of the capital? Wei Bao asked a little naively.

Sun Chengzong looked at Wei Bao, and was almost laughed out loud by Wei Bao, appointing you as the commander of the capital? Don't say that you are just a meritorious person, even if you are now a meritorious name of Jinshi, it is impossible! How old are you? 14-year-olds only. Moreover, have you entered officialdom? Even if you start to count the official position of the Liaoning Southern Transit Envoy, it will take less than half a month to work hard, with such shallow qualifications, how can you think that you can be the commander of the capital?

The commander is a feudal official! What's more, he is the commander of Liaodong, who combines military power, political power and financial power, and is the feudal official among the feudal officials.

"It's impossible. It is said that you can't conquer the entire southern Liaoning, even if you can conquer the entire southern Liaoning, the imperial court will never let a person who is only 14 years old and has just entered the officialdom to serve as the commander of the eastern Liaodong capital. Sun Chengzong replied.

"Then I spend so much effort to make wedding dresses for others?" Wei Bao very straightforward bargaining began.

Although he knew that Sun Chengzong could not represent the imperial court, Wei Bao still wanted to hear what this super master meant.

Wei Bao has never rejected rebellion, if he can't actually control southern Liaoning, and feels that it is possible for the Ming court to directly obtain his own fruits, Wei Bao will rebel!

Giving Liaonan to the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than turning Liaonan into the situation before Liaonan was captured by Jiannu, and restoring it to the situation in the early years of the weather!

In the early years of the Apocalypse, the entire southern Liaoning was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi first occupied Liaoyang, then moved the capital to Liaoyang, and then moved the capital to Shenyang after occupying Shenyang, and changed the name of Shenyang to Shengjing.

Sun Chengzong heard the bargaining meaning in Wei Bao's words, and was a little unhappy.

In general, Sun Chengzong is still quite upright, not very greedy for money, not very greedy for fame, in general, he is a person who thinks about the Ming court, otherwise he would not have taken his family and the people of his hometown to fight against Jiannu in the original history, and ended up with the death of the whole family and the end of being strangled by Jiannu.

"Xiaobao, you are also an official of the Ming Dynasty now, and you must have the imperial court, Your Majesty, and the Ming Dynasty in your heart!" Sun Chengzong said solemnly: "We are officials, and we must not just think about our own selfish interests, do you understand? ”

Wei Bao had a premonition that Sun Chengzong was going to say a lot of truths, and he knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he hurriedly stopped and said respectfully: "Teacher, I understand, I'm just asking." If Liaonan is put into the hands of those who are incapable, I am worried that I will not be able to hold it! Within a while, it will repeat the mistakes of Liaodong, become like Liaodong, become the private property of the generals, and the armament will be slack, and then it will be taken back by Jiannu. Personally, I don't really care about what position I play. ”

"I'm relieved that you can think so! I can tell you that you have a great reputation for being a person, and in such a short period of time, even if you make great contributions, you will not have much chance of being promoted! Even if His Majesty has the heart to promote you exceptionally, it will not work, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree. The main thing is that he is too young. But don't worry, if you can really get such a big credit for winning the entire southern Liaoning, this account will be recorded, and in a few years in the future, you will have a great achievement in the officialdom. Sun Chengzong comforted Wei Baodao.

"Teacher, what will happen if I have achieved the fame of Jinshi and won the great merit of the entire southern Liaoning? How long do you have to wait for a promotion? Wei Bao asked, "Where can you be promoted?" What grade? ”

"Hehe, it's hard to say now, what? Xiaobao, do you want to be promoted so much? Sun Chengzong looked at himself with amusement, a little disciple who seemed to be extremely addicted to official addiction.

"No, I asked casually, I just wanted to do more for Daming. If you don't have a high position, you can't do anything, right? Wei Bao's face flushed, and he tried his best to be noble, think about the Ming court, and whitewash himself.

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "If you have achieved the fame of Jinshi and have won the great merit of winning the entire southern Liaoning, then at least it will be next year, next year you will be 15 years old, at most you will be promoted to the sixth grade." And there will be no real shortcomings, either the Hanlin Academy or the local governor. However, the starting point is definitely much higher than that of the average Jinshi, and the position of the seventh rank of the general Jinshi must be at least five years or more! ”

Wei Bao couldn't help but be a great Khan, Lao Tzu has achieved the fame of Jinshi, and has won the great merit of winning the entire southern Liaoning, and he can only be promoted to the rank of Congliupin next year? That's not as good as my seven-grade Liaonan transshipment envoy, right!?

Wei Bao was immediately not interested in the scientific research road and officialdom, after all, he now has a lot of power!

Wei Bao even began to seriously consider it at this moment, should he rebel?

Wei Bao has never wanted to consider the rebel line, not for the Ming court.

And the main thing is to think about the people of the Ming Dynasty and think about yourself!

Because if there is really a rebellion, the first to suffer must be the people of the Ming Dynasty, there are Jiannu troublemakers, the Liaodong Border Army, Jiliao soldiers and horses, as well as Mao Wenlong of the Dongjiang River, as well as the garrisons on the three sides, the heavy and huge military spending in the north has overwhelmed the Ming court, who suffers? It's not the common people of the Ming Dynasty.

If he rebels again, with his current strength, he will not lose to Mao Wenlong and Liaodong Jiangmen, let alone Ji Liao's soldiers and horses!

It will definitely cause huge trouble to the Ming court!

At that time, the military spending of the Ming Dynasty will definitely rise again, and a large number of ordinary people will be recruited to join the army, and the people in the areas under their jurisdiction will also have to join the army in large numbers.

That is definitely not the situation that Wei Bao wants to see, in that case, Wei Bao even thinks that the Ming court will fall in advance, not to mention waiting until Chongzhen comes to power, and then waiting until Chongzhen has seventeen years in his hands, I am afraid that even the five years of the Apocalypse, the Ming court will not be able to survive.

It's not just about money and people.

Wei Bao still wants to govern southern Liaoning well, so that millions of people can live a life of food and clothing, everyone is dead, and there is a non-stop war all day long, where can there be a good life to pass?

Moreover, Wei Bao deeply knows that one of the attributes of the Han people is often not strong externally, and they are only strong for a while occasionally, and most of the time they are not good.

But internally, it is different, one by one to exterminate the internal rebellion, like a tiger, one is more powerful than the other.

will continue to emerge super powerful generals.

At that time, no matter whether he wins or loses, it must be a lose-lose situation, and when the time comes, won't it be cheaper to build slaves?

At most, that would accelerate the drastic changes in history, and let Jiannu pick up the big pie that fell from the sky in advance, that's all, this is by no means the situation that Wei Bao wants to see.

This is to consider the problem from the perspective of the overall situation and the people of the Ming Dynasty.

If you think about it from his personal point of view, once he is defeated, he will have to die, and the Ming court is still the most powerful force at the moment!

Wei Bao puts personal safety first, there is no doubt that he is dead, once he is gone, what is there to talk about saving the people?

Therefore, unless he has the power to deal with the Ming court, Jiannu, and some quasi-warlords in the border army at the same time, and has this kind of power that can fight against multiple forces at the same time, Wei Bao is willing to consider rebellion and is willing to consider parting ways with the Ming court.

Now he obviously does not have this kind of strength, and he can't even deal with Jiannu alone, or only against a small part of Jiannu's forces in southern Liaoning.

Where is the strength to deal with the combined forces of many forces?

Wei Bao didn't want to be the target of the public, and was strangled by many forces, Wei Bao knew that he was now faintly making a big move.
