Chapter 432: Whereabouts Exposed

Everyone came up to take a look, and the poem Fang Yuan was referring to was: Qingzhai Lizi is filled with dine-in, and Changri Banana Yin is transferred to the printing bed. It will be rewarded by the ancients, and the placket will be divided into the north window.

The poetic title of the poem is:

Fang Yuan said slowly, "Lizi and plantain are all Lingnan specialties, which correspond to the word Guangdong." Qian Qianyi also wrote poems specifically for this Sun Fangbo, who had a great friendship with Qian Qianyi. ”

"Hu Qi, immediately send Jinyi Wei to check, who is this Sun Fangbo?"

Half an hour later, Jin Yiwei took Lu Tongzhi of Guangzhou Mansion to the backyard and reported to Fang Yuan that Sun Fangbo was the Tongzhi of Huizhou Mansion.

Fang Yuan ordered Lu Tongzhi to retreat, and then asked Qin Zhan, "Fourth, this Uncle Sun Fang, you didn't cut him down!"

Huizhou Mansion was Qin Zhan personally led the army to pacify Huizhou Mansion, he was very clear about this Sun Fangbo, this person was one of the few honest officials in Huizhou Mansion, and after conquering Huizhou Mansion, he made him stay in Huizhou Mansion Tongzhi.

Qin Zhan hurriedly said, "Boss, this person is still in the post of Tongzhi of Huizhou Mansion, do you want to immediately send someone to arrest him and torture him?" ”

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Fourth, there are people in this world who are really mighty and unyielding. What if Sun Fangbo doesn't recruit to death? What if the Sun family gets the news and transfers Qian Qianyi again? ”

Qin Zhan also knew that it was too hasty to arrest Sun Fangbo in a hurry, and said, "Then please ask the boss to send a team of Jinyi guards to set up a petition mailbox in Huizhou Mansion under the pretext of closely monitoring Sun Fangbo." As long as Qian Qianyi is really related to Sun Fangbo, he will inevitably show his feet. ”

Fang Yuan agreed with his suggestion, and said to Hu Qi, "Old Hu, you send twenty Jinyi guards to Huizhou Mansion to build a petition mailbox on the one hand, and monitor Sun Fangbo on the other. ”

Hu Qi received the order and immediately ordered Jinyiwei to deal with the matter. Because the arrest of Qian Qianyi is a piece of Fang Yuan's heart, this trip is only allowed to succeed and not fail. Hu Qi strictly ordered the Jinyi guards who went to do business not to be negligent. If Qian Qianyi is caught, everyone will be rewarded; If Qian Qianyi is let go, he will be punished for dereliction of duty.

After Jin Yiwei set off for Huizhou Mansion, Fang Yuan stayed in Guangzhou Mansion for the time being, waiting for news. It had been a year since he left Nanzhili, and after the pacification of Guangdong, he should have led the army back to Nanzhili. But in order to catch Qian Qianyi, the old thief of Donglin, Fang Yuan still decided to stay and delay for a while.

Ten days later, Zhang Ying and Shi Fu returned triumphantly from the Qiongzhou Mansion and asked Fang Yuan for credit.

This expedition to Guangdong and the promotion of Zhang Ying as the chief soldier were already airborne, and they did not conform to the rules of the Xuanjia Army that they were promoted only on the basis of military merits. Many people in the army have a lot of discussions about this, including Feng Ting, who is also dissatisfied. Zhang Ying was just a newcomer, and he soared, and his promotion was the same as his official position, and he even took on the heavy task of attacking Guangdong, it would be false to say that Feng Ting was not jealous.

The hearts of the people in the army fluctuated, and it was Fang Yuan and Qin Zhan who overrode the public opinion and forcibly supported Zhang Ying in the general position, which can be regarded as breaking the military regulations of the Xuanjia Army.

Fortunately, Zhang Ying proved with iron-clad facts that Fang Yuan and Qin Zhan did not look away, but Bole with a discerning eye. In the battle to conquer Guangdong, Zhang Ying captured the most state capitals, and the one who made the greatest contribution was Zhang Ying.

Fang Yuan saw that Zhang Ying was overjoyed, and couldn't help but praise and said, "Commander Zhang, you are really a genius given to me by God to pacify Guangdong!"

Zhang Ying humbly bowed to him half-kneeling on the ground, "If it weren't for Governor Fang's exceptional promotion, there would never be Zhang Ying today." In the future, the governor of the other party will follow the work of dogs and horses, and he will die with all his might. ”

Fang Yuan was very fond of him, it was a pity that such a handsome general who could completely take charge of himself stayed in Guangdong, and said with a sigh, "Fourth, I am really reluctant to leave Mr. Zhang to you!"

Fang Yuan made it clear that he had the idea of bringing Zhang Ying back to Nanzhili and reusing it again. But Qin Zhan was really reluctant to let Zhang Ying go. Only generals like Zhang Ying can stay in Guangdong to deter those with ill intentions in Guangdong, and the wolf soldiers in Guangxi also need Zhang Ying to deal with it.

Qin Zhan laughed and said, "Boss, Guangdong is initially decided, and the situation may be repeated at any time, if Zhang Zongbing is transferred to Nanzhili, I will be overstretched in employing people here!" Boss, you have first-class fierce generals like Chigutai, Zhao Quanzhong, and Gan Hui on your side, so let's leave me some thoughts!"

What he said is also reasonable, the situation in Guangdong is changing rapidly, not to mention that Chen Yonghua needs military support at any time to govern Taiwan. If Zhang Ying is transferred away, Qin Zhan, who is not good at battlefield battles, will really not be able to play.

Fang Yuan had no choice but to endure the pain and cut his love, "Okay, okay, General Soldier Zhang is still staying as the Chief Soldier of Guangdong for the time being." ”

He also explained to Qin Zhan, Zhang Ying, and Shi Fu the important matters of taking over Luzon after the Spaniards replied.

Fang Yuan decided to change the name of Luzon Island to the Luzon Political Division, which was still under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of Fujian and Guangzhou. The consuls of the Luzon political secretary did not need to be appointed, but were elected by the local Ming people themselves, and then took office after the approval of the Governor's Office of Fujian and Guangzhou.

The defense of Luzon did not need to send a large army to garrison it. Instead, they organized the Ming people living in Luzon and formed a militia group of Ming people to defend Luzon Island. The Xuanjia Army only needs to send someone to be the supreme military commander of the militia regiment, and then bring three hundred Xuanjia sergeants to command the drills of the local militia regiment.

This militia was not used to defend against the Dutch and Spanish attacks, but to maintain local law and order in Luzon. As long as a powerful artillery carrier formation is maintained in the South Sea Seas, neither the Dutch nor the Spaniards will dare to invade.

Qin Zhan didn't know what the use of this isolated Luzon Island was, Fang Yuan had to take it back like a treasure, and was busy asking Fang Yuan about the land endowment and commercial tax collection of Luzon Island.

Fang Yuan told him that the Luzon political secretary only needed to bear the expenses of the three hundred Xuanjia soldiers, and the rest of the land taxes and commercial taxes were not collected. However, it is necessary to direct the Luzon political secretary to vigorously exploit the minerals of gold, silver, copper, and iron in the islands. Among them, the gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals mined are divided between the Fujian and Guangzhou Governor's Office and the Luzon Political Secretary. Eighty percent belonged to the Governor's Mansion of Fujian and Guangzhou, and then transported to Nanzhili for military construction, and two percent belonged to the Luzon political secretary at his disposal, which was regarded as the well-being of the local Ming people in Luzon.

Only then did Qin Zhan know that Fang Yuan insisted on recovering Luzon Island, with the aim of gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals on Luzon Island. If Luzon can really mine these minerals that the Xuanjia Army urgently needs, it will really be a cornucopia.

Fang Yuan explained to him the relevant matters of Luzon, and said earnestly, "Fourth, you must remember why you went from Nanzhili to Guangdong. ”

Qin Zhan half-knelt on the ground in shame, "Boss, I'm a ghost who has lost my mind and even interfered in your backyard dispute, I will definitely draw a line with Mrs. Yuan and the others in the future!"

Fang Yuan smiled with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fourth, that's right!" Minguang will be handed over to you, and the annual city tax of 10 million taels of silver will also be handed over to you. More than 10 million taels, our brothers are still the old rules, split in half, hehe!"

After another half a month, Hu Qi finally brought good news from Huizhou Mansion, Qian Qianyi was indeed taken in by Sun Fangbo in the countryside of Huizhou Mansion. Jin Yiwei followed Sun Fangbo for several days, and finally waited for Sun Fangbo to send someone to send food and clothing supplies to Qian Qianyi, and arrested Qian Qianyi in the countryside of Huizhou Mansion.

Jin Yiwei caught the culprit-Qian Qianyi, and together with Sun Fangbo, the governor of Huizhou Mansion who was covering Qian Qianyi, and all 36 of Sun Fangbo's family members, they were all tied up and escorted back to Guangzhou Mansion.
