Five days after reaching an agreement with Duoduo, Fang Yuan left 5,000 cavalry to garrison each of his two military forts on the Liao River. He also left 30,000 cavalry in the military camp outside Quang Ninh City to supervise the reconstruction of Quang Ninh City.

He also sent people to Phi Dao to give orders, leaving only Zhao Quanzhong's 20,000 cavalry to garrison Phi Dao.

Fang Yuan left all cavalry corps in Liaoxi and Phidao, and ordered the two cavalry corps of Chigutai and Zhao Quanzhong, one east and one west, to be horns of each other, and to be vigilant against the movements of Liaodong at any time. As soon as the Manchu Tartars showed any signs of using Liaoxi or Phi Dao, the other side had to send troops to support.

After doing a good job in the defense of western Liao, Fang Yuan took Zhou Yuji's Jin army, Wu Sangui's Guanning army, and Zhang Ying's 10,000 elite infantry soldiers on Phi Island, together with the 50,000 infantry soldiers accompanying the army, along the Jinzhou and Ningyuan lines to enter the customs and return to the capital.

Fang Yuan's expedition this time actually recovered Liaoxi, which had been lost for thirty years, and the good news had already reached the capital. When Fang Yuan led the army into the city, the people of the capital crowded the avenues of the capital, and welcomed Fang Yuan's triumphant return.

The reason why the people of the capital cheered enthusiastically was not only because Fang Yuan had recovered the territory from the outside world, but more importantly, Fang Yuan advanced the battle line against the Manchu Qing from the Great Wall defense line to Liaoxi, and completely ensured the security of the Gyeonggi region.

The previous defense line of the Great Wall was full of holes, and the Tatar soldiers could enter Gyeonggi at any time to plunder, but the Ming army was powerless. The people of Gyeonggi are precarious, and they may face the butcher's knives of the Tartar soldiers at any time. Even before Fang Yuan entered Gyeonggi, the Gyeonggi region suffered two massacres, Yongpyeong and Zunhua.

Now, this nightmare that has hovered over the heads of the people of Gyeonggi for twenty or thirty years has finally been dispelled by Fang Yuan, how can the people not run to tell each other and celebrate the victory?

When the people on both sides of the main road saw the king of Fang Yuan passing by, they knelt down in unison and chanted together.

"Long live Daming, long live, long live!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Regent, nine thousand years old!"

Fang Yuan walked on the avenue of the capital, looking at the happy people of the capital on both sides, waving his hand from time to time, his nose suddenly became slightly sore, and his eyes were slightly moist.

Any historical data can fool people, but the eyes of the people are clear.

When Yuan Chonghuan was chopped alive, the people of the capital fought for his meat, because the people of the capital were all fools? If Guan Ningjun had a little responsibility and really tried his best to fight with the Manchus, how could the people fight for Yuan Chonghuan's meat?!

In the final analysis, everything is Yuan Chonghuan and Guan Ningjun's own fault. An army that was stoned by the people on the city walls, and the face to say that they had been greatly wronged, this is the biggest joke!

This Guanning army really has no need to exist anymore!

Chongzhen led the cabinet and hundreds of officials from the six ministries to greet Fang Yuan in the Qianqing Palace.

This long-lost victory in western Liaoning, Chongzhen and Baiguan are also happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Chongzhen has been diligent for more than ten years, nothing more than to recover the Liao land and become the lord of the Ming Dynasty. This goal was not achieved when Chongzhen himself was in power, but it was achieved when Fang Yuan was in power. Although it doesn't have much to do with Chongzhen, in the history books, political achievements must still be counted on the head of him, the emperor.

Before, he worked hard for military and political affairs, and rarely slept peacefully. Now he enjoys family fun with his queen, concubines, and children in the Qianqing Palace. Occasionally, you can freely meet with hundreds of officials, go out of the palace to inspect the people of the capital, or go to the university hall of the capital to listen to the lecturer's lectures, how carefree.

The hard work is all on Fang Yuan's shoulders, but the political achievements made are equally shared by the two of them, why not?! If there was someone like Fang Yuan who could share the burden for him when he was in power before, he would not have been angry and killed officials indiscriminately at every turn, and the name of a tyrant was spread in the officialdom.

The Cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, and the 100 officials of Gyeonggi have also been looking forward to this victory for a long time.

When Chongzhen was in power, there were forty or fifty cabinet scholars, six scholars, and a group of soldiers who were killed. As for how many of these subordinate officials were killed, there is no special statistics.

When these court officials were in charge of Chongzhen, they were often worried that their heads were still not there because of the Manchu Qing and Liukou rebellions.

Now Fang Yuan is in charge, although the supervision of hundreds of officials is much stricter than Chongzhen, and he has also forced to donate silver. But forcing the donation of silver is always a one-shot deal, and half of the family wealth is handed over, and half of it is kept. Now that Daming's financial situation is very good, Fang Yuan will not come to force donations every year.

Moreover, Fang Yuan was in charge of the government, and the foreign wars were won successively, so these officials no longer had to worry about whether their heads would be cut off. As long as he can pay attention to his appearance and does not force the people to complain, Fang Yuan will not anger the officials because of military and political affairs. The official positions of these scholars, scholars, and squires are finally secure.

I was forced to donate before, but if it's gone, it's gone! As long as the official position can be kept, under the long flow of water, you can slowly recover some losses!

On the whole, these officials are still willing to support Fang Yuan's government, more than Chongzhen. Most of them, the other party's triumphant return, is from the bottom of their hearts.

Fang Yuan entered the Qianqing Palace with Chongzhen in the congratulation of the hundred officials.

Fang Yuan reported to Chongzhen the battle report of the great victory in Liaoxi, and also truthfully informed the content of the peace talks with the Manchus, and the Manchu peace talks letter would also be sent to the capital within a few days.

Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and wanted to reward Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan was already a very human minister, and there was no reward for him, so he could only reward Fang Yuan's children instead.

In addition to the regent Shi Zi Fang He does not need to be canonized, Fang Yuan's son Fang Xin is enclosed as a prince. Daughters Fang Mu and Fang Yu were all crowned princesses.

A few days after his triumphant return, Fang Yuan began to make two adjustments to military and political affairs.

The first is to arrange a suitable place for Shi Kefa and Zodiac Er, who had previously opposed Fang Yuan. Since Shi Kefa was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, Fang Yuan sent him to Shaanxi to serve as the governor of Shaanxi, and was responsible for the pacification of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningjiang and other places. Is Shi Kefa a capable minister, a godminister, and does he have the capital to keep clamoring with Fang Yuan, and speak with his practical achievements, rather than empty talk.

Since Huang Daozhou claimed to be the first minister of the Ming Dynasty and was honest and honest, Fang Yuan arranged for him to go to the Judicial Governor's Mansion in Fengyang to serve as the governor and Tongzhi, and gave Hu Qi a deputy position. If Huang Daozhou is really a direct minister of the Ming Dynasty, he will go and arrest a few more corrupt officials and come out to take a look.

The second is the work of reorganizing the Jin Army and the Guanning Army.

Fang Yuan abolished the independent establishment of the Jin Army and the Guanning Army, and incorporated the 20,000 Jin Army and the Guanning Army of 10,000 into the Gyeonggi Military Region, and the strength of the Gyeonggi Military Region also reached as many as 100,000.

After the great victory in Liaoxi, Fang Yuan's prestige in both the court and the army had reached its peak. Zhou Yuji and Wu Sangui could no longer make any objections, so they could only reluctantly accept the fact that their soldiers were reorganized.

In order to appease the emotions of the two, Zhou Yuji also served as the deputy commander of the Northern Military Region and the left squire of the military department. And Wu Sangui was relieved of the post of chief soldier of Jizhen, and instead added the title of general of Zhengnan. This general of Zhengnan is a miscellaneous title and has no power.

Wu Sangui could deeply feel Fang Yuan's hostility towards him and Guan Ningjun. But now, the so-called first strong force of the Ming Dynasty, the Guanning Army, which costs four million taels of silver every year, has completely disappeared.

The generals of the Guanning Army were dismantled by Fang Yuan, and were either placed in the guard post of the state capital, or incorporated into the Northern Military Region and the Gyeonggi Military Region, and Wu Sangui's own military power was also confiscated.

No matter how dissatisfied Wu Sangui was in his heart, he could only swallow the bitter fruit alone.

His only hope is to save the life of the Wu family and live a good life!
