Chapter 330: Wooing

"General, there is a holy decree!" The boat arrived outside Nanjing, and before Ren Siqi got off the boat, a small boat rowed next to the Princess and reported the news to Ren Siqi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Let Li Yanzhi be in charge of the army's camp, and Ren Siqi took a small boat and led the generals to the river bank. Thousands of ships were roaming in the Yangtze River, and under the command of Li Yanzhi, the officers and men of the Daishan Army were setting up camp in the river near the wharf.

Li Xingjiu took the lead in ashore with a team of personal soldiers, laid out the defense line, and then Ren Siqi led the generals to the dock. Looking up, flags were waving in the open space across the docks, and a large group of officials and people were waiting in the midst of hundreds of soldiers.

"Chief soldier! You've got it. Before Ren Siqi could sigh, he saw the eunuch Lu Fang greet him with a smile, followed by a group of officials.

"Grandpa Lu, are you greeting me?" Ren Siqi said with a smile.

"Of course, who else can you wait for? Take the decree quickly. As he spoke, Lu Fang took out a roll of bright yellow cloth.

Ren Siqi has already received the holy decree twice, and he is naturally no stranger to this form, so he hurriedly led the generals to kneel down and kowtow, and shouted long live.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: ......" Yin and Yang frustrated words read out of Lu Fang's mouth, Li four and six, extremely complex words, although Ren Siqi was born in Xiucai, he was dizzy to listen to it, not to mention the martial artists behind him who didn't know a few big characters.

"Feng Ren Siqi Su Yubo, still as the chief soldier of Ningbo, Yin Yizi is a hundred households in Jinyi, Qin this!"

Uncle Su, he was made an earl, Ren Siqi knelt on the ground in a daze, and Lu Fang's words were still echoing in his mind. This is an earl, although there is no fief, but a title that can be passed down from generation to generation! With a knighthood, he is no longer a martial artist who is looked down upon by civil officials, but has become a nobleman! Although Ren Siqi has bad intentions in his heart, he has the ambition to take advantage of the turmoil in the world to achieve a great cause, and he has the ambition to expel the Tartars. But when I heard that I was made an earl, I couldn't stop being excited!

The chief soldier was made an earl, Mao 18, Song Liben and others looked at each other, and couldn't help cheering for the victory. Ren Siqi was named Su Lubo, which means that the Daishan Army will become a warlord like Huang Degong Zuo Liangyu in the future, and after having the title of earl, the Daishan Army can logically expand its power to the entire eastern Zhejiang. With Ningbo as the center, the entire eastern Zhejiang area will be the territory of the Daishan Army!

Although it is a tradition in the Ming Dynasty to be noble and lowly, the military generals with knighthoods are completely different. Although the earl is the lowest title, it is also superb! Even if it is a provincial governor and a high-ranking official in the ministry, in terms of status, he is also under the earl! This means that Ren Siqi has officially entered the high-ranking official sequence of the imperial court from then on, and the Daishan Army has also become the default force of the imperial court, just like Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo and others.

"Uncle, the decree has been read, get up quickly." Lu Fang closed the holy decree, handed it to Ren Siqi, and hugged Ren Siqi's arm with a smile.

"The last general will be able to meet the uncle!" Ren Siqi stood up, turned around, and saw that all the generals under him knelt on the ground and cheered to himself.

"Brothers, please get up!" Before Ren Siqi stepped forward to help, Li Xingjiu and all his personal soldiers also knelt down and cheered, followed by the 10,000 infantry who went ashore, and the sailors who were still on the boat.

"Meet Uncle!" All the soldiers of the Daishan Army fell to their knees and let out bursts of cheers at their general. The momentum is so loud that it resounded in the sky! The officials who followed the eunuch Lu Fang changed color in shock.

Listening to the deafening cheers and watching the tens of thousands of soldiers cheering for themselves, at this moment, Ren Siqi burst into tears.

Just over a year ago, he was framed and was still on death row. Who would have thought that in just over a year, he would be knighted and become an important minister of the imperial court, and his fate is really wonderful!

"Uncle Su, Xu Ping, under the Duke of Xia Wei, is hereby ordered by the Grandfather of the Kingdom to congratulate the uncle."

"Zhao San, a subordinate of Uncle Xincheng, congratulations to Uncle Ren, my uncle will hold a banquet at home to invite you."

The officials behind Lu Fang stepped forward one after another to congratulate Ren Siqi, most of them turned out to be representatives of various nobles in Nanjing.

"Everyone, wait a minute, Lord Shoufu has an order, let Su Yubo report to the cabinet as soon as possible." A civilian-looking man squeezed into the crowd and interrupted the dignitaries.

Hearing that the first assistant Ma Shiying sent someone to Xuansu to the cabinet, the representatives of the honors and nobles stopped talking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ren Mou thanks you for your kindness, Lord Shoufu has an order, Ren Mou does not dare to disobey, another day, another day, Ren Mou will definitely come to your house to thank you." Although Ren Siqi didn't understand why Nanjing's nobles were so enthusiastic about him, since others showed kindness, he had to respond one or two.

"Gonggong Lu, how can he be in the next place, why are all the nobles in Nanjing City so elevated Ren?" On the way into the city, Ren Siqi and Lu Fang, who returned to the palace to hand over the decree, walked all the way and asked quietly.

"Uncle, you asked our family, but you asked the wrong person, how do we know the thoughts of your nobles?" Lu Fang glanced at Ren Siqi with a smile and excused himself.

"I hope my father-in-law will guide me to the maze!" Ren Siqi secretly stuffed a gold ingot into Lu Fang's sleeve.

"Uncle, don't worry," Lu Fang smiled at the heavy gold in his sleeves, "You are now a hot figure in Nanjing City, and the reason why they are so enthusiastic about you is not because you have just been named Su Lubo, but because you have an army of 40,000 in your hands." ā€

Following Lu Fang, Ren Siqi entered the imperial city, and met the first assistant Ma Shiying in the cabinet located in a corner of the imperial city, as well as Ruan Dacheng, the secretary of the military department.

What makes Ren Siqi feel incredible is that Ma Shiying is also enthusiastic about himself. Not only did he not put a little shelf of Shousuke, but he shouted at himself and asked for warmth, and he was very enthusiastic.

Ma Shiying inquired about the battle between the Daishan Army and the Left Army in Tongling, praised the merits of the Daishan Army, and announced in the name of the imperial court that the Daishan Army would be rewarded with 200,000 taels of silver, and asked Ren Siqi to prepare a list of meritorious personnel after he returned, and then reward them. Then, in his personal name, he sent Ren Siqi a mansion located on the Qinhuai River. Ren Siqi pushed it but had to accept it.

During the conversation, Ren Siqi mentioned the war in Yangzhou several times, and expressed his determination to Ma Shiying, willing to obey the command of the imperial court, and rushed to the battlefield in Yangzhou to help Shi Kefa resist the Duoduo army. However, Ma Shiying did not take over Ren Siqi's words at all, and said a word about the situation in Yangzhou, so that Ren Siqi could stay in Nanjing with peace of mind.

So Ren Siqi understood that Ma Shiying didn't plan to let him go to Yangzhou at all, but wanted to let him stay in Nanjing for his use. (To be continued.) )
