"How?"

Putting the pen on the table, Wang Xingping hurriedly asked about Ma Shiying.

'Guan Xiong controls Sanba far in the north, and the river is dangerous in the west and surrounds Lu Guangshen——'

It was this sentence that he had just written on a blank piece of paper on the table, which was a couplet inscribed for Lu Guangmen in the north of the new city.

Looking at the new city gate, he also felt a burst of pride in his heart, and now that most of the Wang family's industries are surrounded by this high wall, his heart is much more stable. This city was built by him, and it didn't make him happy that it could be built in such a short time.

Of course, there is the manpower and support he received from the princely state, but his planning is also very rare, especially the fact that several senior brothers are quite attentive, which is even more rare, which makes him quite grateful.

Wang Xingping returned from Beijing and took hundreds of new troops to the south through Hebei, Henan, and Huguang, stopping and stopping along the way for more than 4,000 miles.

When he returned to Guiyang, Ma Shiying had already arrived, and the Liansheng archway outside the old house of the Ma family in the city was finally justified. Yang Wencong naturally took leave and came back with Ma Shiying, and finally let Wang Xingping catch up with his wedding, and the brothers and sisters had a good time in the Yang family's stone forest house, which was considered a spring breeze, and the relationship between the Ma and Yang families became more cordial after that.

This time, Guizhou won two Jinshi at one time, and even produced an unprecedented champion, from the governor, the prefect to the school, and even the officials in the new noble county are all honored, and they can't say that they will be able to get a good test language because of this education in the coming year's foreign inspection. It is said that since the news of the Beijing division came to the military and civilians of the city, the people and so on were rejoicing, the day when the champion entered the city, it was Zhang Heming who personally went out of the suburbs of the city to greet him, along the way, regardless of the native Han people and the people were lined up, for a while the artillery and the guard of honor rubbed shoulders one after another, the small Guiyang City was decorated with joy, it was more lively than the night of the first yuan.

With such a happy event, as soon as the Guiyang New City was completed, Zhang Heming thought of Ma Shiying and Yang Wencong, and Wang Xingping, who was the first to build the city and made a lot of money, was naturally invited.

On July 24, the holy decree of Li Zong, the governor of Guizhou and the governor of Huguangchuandong and other places, had already been issued, but the holy decree should be sent to Shaanxi to Li Zheng first, and Li Xianggong was now serving as the deputy envoy there, and then when he went south to Guizhou, no one had yet arrived. Moreover, there are many things to be handed over by the governor, and Zhang Lao Xianggong thinks that it will be delayed for another half a year at the earliest, and he has also fought a lot of lawsuits with the cabinet for this matter, which means that the southwest cannot lack him, and there is also this reason for today's fanfare.

This year, Wang Xingping's military tun has achieved remarkable results, and the autumn harvest not only harvests but also gives some to the officials, although the total amount handed over is only 100 stones, but it is also unprecedented. This made Zhang Heming see the hope of completing the land reform and returning to the stream in the short term, it is necessary to know that as long as this Guizhou place can have enough food, it will be able to have enough troops, if Wang Xing's parallel military system is consolidated, his side will be stable, if he can't find other mistakes, next year's plan should be able to harvest something, and it is not impossible to go further, and it is not impossible to enter the cabinet.

Although Wang Xingping also said that he wanted to figure it slowly, in Zhang Xianggong's ears, he thought that he was a young man and an old man, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, at least now there is a ready-made comparison, and there is no such good thing as Liaodong.

On June 16, 40,000 troops of the Houjin Eighth Banner Army went out of Jing'an Fort to attack Kaiyuan, the city was broken on the same day, and Ma Linli, the chief officer of the garrison of Kaiyuan, died in battle, and nearly 10 soldiers were killed and wounded together. After the fall of Kaiyuan, the cabinet and the emperor could no longer sit still, so they hurriedly promoted Xiong Tingbi's consolation envoy to the envoy of the economy, and gave Shang Fangjian to allow him to act cheaply. On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, he hurriedly resigned and went east, and heard that only two thousand old and weak were found in Shanhaiguan, so he hurriedly selected eight hundred and went to Liaoyang again.

As a result, just a few days after leaving the customs, I heard that Nurhachi had led an army of 50,000 out of Sancha Fort, and Tielingwei had also fallen within a day. At first, the imperial court also had a wishful thinking to transfer Li Chengliang's son Li Ruzhen back to Tieling to protect the ancestors, but I didn't expect that not only Li Ruzhen could not stay in Tieling for a long time, but even the Li family moved west before the war, leaving half of the empty city for the spies to set fire in the city and easily fell, it is reported that this incident made Xiong Tingbi hate the Li family, and felt that Yang Hao was negligent in employing people and actually put a Jinyi Weiyin official who had enjoyed himself in the capital for the third year directly to the front line, the reason is only because there is an ancestral tomb in Tieling, which seems to be too child's play.

When the Later Jin attacked the original Kaiyuan, there was an army led by the Western Capture Zaisai to follow and plunder the captive population and wealth, but it was captured by Nurhachi, and the Mongol forces were also pulled together as a hostage. The two Dazhai were all destroyed, so that the strategic situation of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong was precarious.

Now the copy of the house only saw Xiong Xianggong urging every day, either urging or urging the soldiers, even the native soldiers of Huguang and eastern Sichuan were recruited, and beheaded Liu Yujie, Wang Jie, Wang Wending three fugitive generals and a Fushun Xiucai Jia Chaofu who voted for the Houjin anti-line, and was more bold to take a hundred or so family Ding to Fushun Fort for a circle, after returning to Liaoyang, Xiong Tingbi arranged to repair the destroyed pier, and called up the fugitive craftsmen.

However, after the war was unfavorable, it was easy to cause trouble, and Nurhachi sent many spies to various places, and the generals were suspicious of each other.

How can Wang Xingping, this kid use his hand, this time not only the new military system has just been completed, but also earned a lot of reputation in the capital, and he is really satisfied with his nominal protégé Zhang Heming, but unfortunately he can't refer to this subject. And Wang Xingping also has a matter called empathy, and on the way, he wrote a letter saying that Liaodong could not be done for the time being, which made him feel extremely relieved.

Ma Shiying listened to his junior brother's question, and hurriedly compared the couplets between himself and Yang Wencong, and asked Wang Xingping to come to inscribe a city gate, all of which was the meaning of his champion, if it weren't for one of them, Wang Xingping would just come to watch the ceremony.

But no one can know better than him that most of the credit for his champion still depends on his junior brother, and it is not easy for other elders and officials to show his affection for him with this initiative.

Yang Wencong's inscription for the new east gate is 'Gu sowing Yuanchen is waiting for rain; The flower detective is already like a cloud-', quite his playful style.

And Ma Shiying wrote a couplet for the Rouyuan Gate that is now surrounded between the old and new cities, with the title of 'Shengge Ten Miles in the City; Cover the outer city of a thousand families-', but there is also some nobility of the new leader.

The onlookers naturally sighed and appreciated again, and it was not good to say much about Wang Xingping, who had no merit yet, after all, the other party's reputation is very big now, and I heard that even many big people in Beijing know his name, and this couplet is indeed not badly written.

Soon the couplets of the nine old and new city gates of Guiyang City will have a subject, and in a few days, there will be an official stonemason to engrave the words one by one, and there is also the mark of Wang Xingping, which is not in vain for him to worry about. As for Zhang Jiebin and Song Yingxing, who came to watch the ceremony with Wang Xingping, they were all a little excited, at least the arrangement of the young master of the Wang family in Guizhou was much better than they imagined, and they were naturally happy.

Tossing a set of etiquette in the morning, the nobles are ready to leave, the banquet should go to the banquet to visit the friends of the friends, anyway, the autumn Fu has ended, the officials have finished the most important things of the year, and naturally they are lazy.

As expected, Zhang Heming only left Wang Xingping behind and drove him back to the governor's yamen, and as for the other senior brothers, they all ignored it with a look of no surprise when they saw it.

…………

In the flower hall in the backyard, the tea has not yet been served, but the old minister's conversation box has been opened.

"I also just heard that Xiong Manzi wanted you to go to Liaodong with him to make a contribution that day, but you refused, this old man wrote it down."

Zhang He Naruto is average, Wang Xingping didn't believe that he just knew about it, but he still agreed, "Xingping just wants to have a beginning and an end." ”

"A good one has a beginning and an end, and the old man is naturally relieved that you are doing things." Zhang Xianggong stroked his beard and smiled: "Lai Zhixian of Weng'an has mentioned it several times in front of me, the phosphate mine you opened in Weng'an is really a good industry, originally I only thought that you were using that phosphate stone to make ignition powder, but I didn't expect that it could be used to fertilize the field, how can I remember that there is no paragraph in "Qi Min's Technique"? ”

Weng'an's phosphate ore has been mined for half a year, most of which are used to refine phosphate fertilizer, although it is not as good as the chemical products, but it has also increased the grain output a little, even if it is still a big gap compared to Wang Xingping's expectations, but at this time it is really considerable. Moreover, Lai Zhixian and Yuan Chonghuan's family are still a little close, and his natural relationship is one step closer when he comes back this time.

He secretly thought that as soon as the elders who supported Guizhou arrived, the serious factory would be put on the agenda, but at this time he was still very calm.

"Mr. said with a smile, but this phosphate rock is indeed used for many purposes, and there is no need to worry about firearms, after coming back, the students went to Poly Bank to carefully count, and the students have made a total of 1,000 new muskets in addition to scrapping these days, so that the garrison camp is all equipped with barely enough."

Wang Xingping naturally concealed the output, in fact, this was calculated according to the original basic output of 150 per month, and during the time he was in Beijing, the production scale of Poly Bank was also expanding, and now he still has at least 1,500 muskets in his hand, which is enough to equip a battalion of soldiers. Although Zhang Heming approved the training of the new firearms army, he did not want to be too high-profile, and decided not to talk about it for the time being because of the concealment of the production volume.

He was still thinking about firearms, but Zhang Heming's thoughts jumped out of other places, "It's a pity that all the good fields around Guiyang Mansion are occupied by people right now, and it is easy to find the Tuntian premises, otherwise you can still take care of a lot of military rations with natural means." ”

Wang Xingping said with a smile, "It turns out that Mr. is for this matter, the student thinks that this is not difficult, I just heard a lawsuit recently, if it is sorted out, it should be able to solve the problem of this tuntian." ”

"Oh? What is the lawsuit? Zhang Heming was a little surprised, could this inconsequential greeting lead to any good things for his family?

"It's Chishuiwei's side, Yongning Xuanfu Si Tuyi's invasion of Baisasuo's military field."

Zhang Heming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Who did Tiancheng listen to about this?" ”

"Most of Chishuiwei knows about it, but Xingping heard from a friend that his father is Chishuiwei's commander Xu Chengming." There is no need to lie, he did hear about this matter from Xu Qianzhong's small talk.

"It turned out to be him." Zhang Heming seemed to remember that more than a year ago, he had worked with Wang Xingping to deal with the commander Xu who robbed and killed the tribute envoy Tuyi.

What Wang Xingping said, how could Zhang Heming, as a governor, not know that the Baisa Institute under the jurisdiction of Chishuiwei is located at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, and in the early years, some troops sold the fields in Dongshanbao, Wujiagou and other places to nearby Tuyi due to poverty. Later, the army cleared and returned the pawn capital but Tuyi was unwilling to return the land, and now it has become a headless public case, Guizhou has indeed instructed the department to investigate, but because most of the Turen belong to the Yongning Xuanfu Division, so they want to move the book to Sichuan, and the officials on both sides just shirk. And the luxury family on the Yongning side is even more protective of the natives, so no one cares about it gradually, anyway, Tian Fu is still counted on the fugitive military households, but since he has fled, he can't be recruited with confidence.

Zhang Heming originally planned to cause this matter but not to cause it, and when the new Qianfu arrived in the city, he used it to delay time with the cabinet, but he didn't want to be broken by Wang Xingping. But he wasn't angry, it was all because of Wang Xingping's past impression on him, and since this son had told the story, he must have an idea.

He asked hypocritically, "Is Tiancheng planning to let the old man clean up Chishuiwei's military camp?" ”

"Chishuiwei is far away in the northwest and borders Sichuan, students don't have the ability to touch this mold, what I said is right now, in fact, Wei Qingwei has similar things."
