The dust settled on the dispute between the governors, and Sun Chuanting, the Guangdong procurator recommended by the British minister Zhang Weixian, finally won and was promoted to the governor of Yansui Town, Guyuan Town, and Ningxia Town in Shaanxi.

Early the next morning, the British Mansion was decorated with lights and beams, as if it was ready to celebrate.

Was this to celebrate Sun Chuanting's appointment as trilateral governor?

Of course not, Sun Chuanting is still in Guangdong at this time, even if he is in the capital, the British Duke will not celebrate for him, a small governor's position, not worthy of the most prominent British Duke of the Ming Dynasty to celebrate, the British Mansion is preparing for the succession ceremony or canonization ceremony.

At this time, the succession of the title is not the old lord to say a word, pass the title to his son, or hold a banquet to celebrate, the succession of the title must be approved by the emperor of the current dynasty, please come to canonize the edict, read it in public, in order to be justified.

In the Ming Dynasty, not only the princes and counts inherited this, but also the royal princes and county kings, and even the kings of vassal states succeeded to the throne must have the canonization edict of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire in order to be considered orthodox, otherwise it is a usurpation and self-reliance!

For example, in the third year of the Apocalypse, there was a coup d'état in Korea, a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Liang, the king of Ayayang, deposed the king of Guanghaijun Li Hui at that time, and established himself as the king.

Yuan Keli took into account the situation in Liaodong at that time, and in order to avoid pushing the vassal state of Korea into the arms of the Later Jin, he agreed to help them write a letter and ask for a seal, so that Li Liang, the king of Ayayang, could succeed to the throne.

This canonization ceremony is generally the emperor sent officials or envoys to read the canonization edict, the emperor himself generally does not come in person, but the British public status is special, in charge of almost all the guards in the world, and has the merit of support, so Chongzhen decided to go to the British government to canonize in person, in order to show his favor.

The whole mansion must be cleaned, which is the most basic, and there are flowers and trees to be taken care of, doors and windows to be repaired, halls to be arranged, lanterns to be hung, and joyful couplets to be pasted, etc., the British government specially invited thousands of Beijing camp guards and family members, and they worked all morning to prepare everything properly.

The canonization ceremony is naturally indispensable to invite people to watch the ceremony, the British public rarely makes friends with Wenchen, at this time, in order to avoid suspicion, he will not invite Wenchen to watch the ceremony, so it is not the prince or the general of the Beijing camp, however, there is a Wenchen who came with great fanfare, and he brought a gift from a convoy!

This is naturally Zhang Bin, the governor of Fuguang, he really shocked the princes present with this pomp, and it is great to give a gift to a car at this time, this guy actually brought a gift from a team, and what is even more terrifying is that the grandson of the current British prince Zhang Weixian, Zhang Shize, who is about to become the prince of the United Kingdom, follows him like a small follower, who is this guy!

As soon as the princes and nobles inquired, they naturally quickly knew Zhang Bin's identity, because many of the generals present were going to participate in the early dynasty, and the courtiers did not know the names of the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, the squire of the military department, and the governor of Fuguang, Zhang Bin.

It would have been shocking for him to become a feudal official at such a young age, but I didn't expect him to be so familiar with the British Gongyi family, and the British Duke is also surnamed Zhang, are they relatives?

When a group of princes and nobles were discussing, a team of brocade guards suddenly ran into the British mansion, and they didn't do anything else after entering the mansion, but they lined up from the gate to the outside of the lobby of the main mansion, and the rows were dense, and all the people who watched the ceremony immediately stopped talking, and they all knew that this was the emperor coming.

At noon, Chongzhen came, the official read out the edict of canonization, Chongzhen personally awarded the golden book seal, the canonization ceremony was successfully completed, and the next thing was the banquet to celebrate.

Chongzhen naturally couldn't stay and drink with them, but when it was time to leave, Chongzhen suddenly beckoned to Zhang Bin, who was in front of him: "Shuangquan, are you going back to Fuguang in the next two days?" ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Back to the emperor, Weichen plans to rush to the Daimyo Mansion tomorrow to lead the Qi family army back to Fuguang together, the matter of the grandfather of this country has been delayed for a little time, and he has not had time to resign from the emperor, please forgive the emperor." ”

Chongzhen also knew that his ancestor had fought with the British Gong Zhang Fu in the Quartet, he didn't care much about this, and he didn't call Zhang Bin over for this matter, but he said with a smile: "Hong'er has been talking about this master of yours, if you have time in the afternoon, you have to go and see him." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he was inexplicably excited in his heart, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Chongzhen is gone, but the prince Xungui present was standing on the spot, when did the emperor be so affectionate to the people below, this Governor of Fuguang is terrible, so I don't know how many people at the banquet ran to toast Zhang Bin, they all want to know this young upstart, to change to usual, Zhang Bin's boldness, must be poured under the table, however, he has the emperor's order today, and he wants to visit His Royal Highness the Prince, so naturally he doesn't dare to eat and drink nonsense, so he can only do a look.

Also because of the emperor's order, Zhang Bin did not fight to the end with these princes and nobles and Jingying generals, and drank a mess, he just meant, drank a little wine, and the toasters almost came once, so he said goodbye to the old and new British dukes, and hurriedly prepared gifts for the queen and the prince.

Because he was going to the palace, Zhang Weixian didn't let Zhang Shize follow him, but he agreed with Zhang Bin that when he returned to Fuguang this time, he would take Zhang Shize with him and let him see the world.

At this time, Zhang Bin's mind was full of Yiren's figure, where did he have the heart to think about these, he responded in a daze, and then went straight to the Dongshengtang business in the capital, the child's gift is really hard to find at this time, he can only prepare some gifts such as silk and high-end cloth, and prepare a year of pearl powder and flower dew, and then hurried to the palace.

Everything was as if in a dream, with a slight drunkenness, he came to the palace, saw Yiren, and accompanied the prince to play with the building blocks, and then said goodbye to Chongzhen, with a trace of melancholy, a trace of confusion and a trace of reluctance to return to Chongxing Temple, ready to set off to the Daimyo's mansion.

Early the next morning, he set off with Zhang Shize, the prince of England, and more than a dozen personal guards, without saying a word all the way, and after three days of galloping, the group finally arrived at the Daimyo's mansion.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army had already practiced well, and Qi Yuangong had already received a notice, packed up everything, and was ready to set off, but the only thing that was more troublesome was the more than 100,000 prisoners, the Daimyo's Mansion was four or five hundred miles away from Dagu Port, and it was not so simple to escort them over, and the Qi family army, which had only more than 9,000 people left, didn't know if it was enough.

These captives are not escorted to Dagu Port, Zhang Bin has 20 Zhenyuan cruisers and more than 200 wheels in his hands at this time to quickly transport personnel and materials, and these ships together can transport up to 20,000 people at a time, and these people are not ordinary civilians, but anti-thief prisoners, and they must be guarded during the transportation, so that it is good to be able to transport 15,000 people per trip, that is to say, this is nearly 150,000 prisoners, and it will take at least more than a month to transport them!

In the end, he discussed with Lu Xiangsheng, and simply ordered Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, to lead 10,000 elite guards to garrison in the Daimyo's mansion, and ordered Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, to lead 10,000 elite horsemen back to Shanxi to preside over the overall situation, while Lu Xiangsheng took 10,000 Tianxiong troops to escort the prisoners to Dagu Port with Qi's army.

His dream is to lead thousands of troops and horses to gallop across the field, but unfortunately, although there are thousands of troops and horses in the capital, they are not under his command, let alone take them to gallop on the battlefield, and he has not even seen the scene of tens of thousands of horses gathered together a few times.

This time, as soon as he ran to the Daimyo's mansion, it was the Qi family army and the Tianxiong army, the elite of the Tunwei and the cavalry of the border army, almost 40,000 horses were gathered together, and there were more than 100,000 prisoners.

Zhang Bin had to arrange the escort of the prisoners, the transfer of the prisoners, and the transfer of grain and grass, so he had no time to deal with him at all, so he could only let Zhang Cha take more than 100 of his guards to escort him around, look at the army, look at the camp, look at the prisoners, and let him be familiar with everything.

This large group of soldiers and prisoners can be 170,000, and they will consume almost 5,000 stone of grain a day, and the food supply is particularly important.

More than 100,000 people, more than 100,000 people will consume more than 100,000 stone of grain in a month, and more than 300,000 stone in two months.

A carriage can pull a few thousand catties of grain at most, that is, about 20 stones, 10,000 stones will cost 500 carriages, 100,000 stones will cost 5,000 carriages, and 100,000 troops will consume 100,000 stones of grain in a month.

Of course, it is impossible to have so many carriages, so when the army fights, the storage and transfer of grain is the top priority, and once there is a problem with the grain, the army may collapse at any time.

Fortunately, the Daimyo's Mansion was not too far from Dagu Port, Zhang Bin had already ordered the sailors to transfer 100,000 stone of grain to Dagu Port, and the Shanxi Army, Tianxiong Army and Qi Family Army gathered more than 1,000 carriages to take turns to transport, plus the household department also transferred tens of thousands of stone grain from the capital, so there were no problems with the grain these days.

Now, more than 100,000 prisoners and 20,000 troops are heading towards Dagu Port, and only 10,000 elite guards are stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Zhang Bin deliberately set the five cities along the way of Guangping, Julu, Jizhou, Nanpi and Cangzhou as grain storage places, and each city stored 10,000 stones, so that there was no need to worry about food problems all the way.

Everything is ready, and the prisoners can finally be escorted to set off, Zhang Bin specially asked people to mobilize in advance, telling these prisoners that they will be sent to live in a rain-rich place in the south, where some are arable land, some are grain, as long as everyone farms honestly, the court is not to blame for the past, they can completely return to the life of the common people before, if anyone is not honest on the road or to the place, then, there will be no mercy!

In fact, most of these foot soldiers are cannon fodder coerced by the peasant army, and after eliminating those old management teams, small management teams, management teams and other big and small leaders from among them, they are pure ordinary people, as long as they have food to eat, where will they still think of rebellion.

Therefore, they were quite honest along the way, Zhang Bin just arranged the Qi family army and the Tianxiong army to supervise on both sides, and they gathered in a pile in the middle, moving forward silently, and there was no troublemaker.

The marching speed of more than 100,000 captives naturally cannot be compared with that of more than 10,000 elites, and they can walk about 80 miles at the ordinary marching speed in a day, and they have to walk for five hours, and when they arrive at Dagu Port, it is already six days later, and at this time, Yu Chenglong has already led 20 Zhenyuan cruisers and more than 200 wheels to wait in Dagu Port.

Of course, there were only more than 200 wheels parked in the harbor, and the twenty huge Zhenyuan cruisers did not appear in the harbor, but were still parked on the sea more than ten miles away to prevent them from being seen by people on the shore.

Then it was another parting, it was impossible for Zhang Bin to stay here to guard these prisoners, and it was impossible for Lu Xiangsheng to lead the Tianxiong army back to Fuguang with him, and the two were finally completely separated after working together in Fuguang for several years.

Zhang Bin took advantage of the time when Qi Jiajun escorted the prisoners onto the ship, and deliberately pulled Lu Xiangsheng to the shore by the port to say goodbye.

He looked at the vast sea and said with emotion: "Jiandou, I am going back to Fuguang, and from now on, the Central Plains, the five northwest provinces, let you gallop." ”

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly said modestly: "What is the land of the Central Plains, the five provinces in the northwest, I am only a governor of Shanxi, how can I manage it so widely." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "Jiandou, you may not know that the drought in the northwest has been impossible to alleviate in recent years, there will be more and more thieves in the five provinces, and the imperial court has no commanders worthy of the big responsibility, in the future, the peace of the five northwest provinces will depend on you and Boya." ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Won't the drought in the northwest really be relieved, how many people will have to starve to death!" ”

Zhang Bin said meaningfully: "How many people will starve to death depends on how you suppress these thieves, there is actually no shortage of food in the northwest, and some people have enough food in their hands to eat the ordinary people in the northwest for more than ten years, but they just don't take it out for disaster relief." Therefore, if you want the people not to starve to death, it is better to suppress the thieves slowly than urgently, and it is better to chase them than to surround them, do you understand? ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he experienced it carefully, and then his face changed greatly: "Shuangquan, you mean to let the people go to ......." ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said indifferently: "Don't say this, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, those who are rich and unkind, sooner or later there will be retribution, it's not that they don't repay, the time has not come, and now the time has come!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it, then nodded solemnly and said, "I understand." ”

Zhang Bin patted him on the shoulder and advised: "Remember, don't worry, there are a lot of anti-thieves, you just need to make some meritorious deeds from time to time, don't think about exterminating the anti-thieves, even if you go to the bottom, you can't exterminate them in the past few years, you know?" As for how to completely eradicate the anti-thieves, and when to completely exterminate the anti-thieves, wait until I enter Beijing! ”

recommends a good book, "Jiangbai", a story about going back to ancient times to be a prince.

When Zhao Xian finished what he had to do, he found that there was no rival in the upper and lower dynasties, with a crown on his head, faintly white.
