When the emperor's holy decree arrived in Xi'an, Zheng Xunrui didn't express how happy he was, in fact, he couldn't be happy, almost everything, he knew it, Hong Chengchou had been waiting for the holy decree and the imperial court's edict in Huguang Huangzhou Mansion, and did not lead the army to continue to suppress bandits, which was originally irresponsible. And the development path after Liukou, Zheng Xunrui and Lu Xiangsheng both expected it.

Liukou did not stay in Huguang for a long time, the twelfth day of the first month entered the territory of Henan, to the fifteenth day of the first month, the Liukou was divided into three armies, Lao Hui entered the territory of Shanxi, Zhang Xianzhong entered the territory of Sichuan, Li Zicheng stayed in Henan, this is one of the measures that Liukou must take, the purpose is to avoid encountering the blow of the imperial army, they know very well that this time defeated Hong Chengchou, the imperial court will definitely have more severe encirclement and suppression measures.

To add insult to injury, Shanxi has suffered a major natural disaster, displaced people everywhere, Shanxi governor Yang Tingshu has written to the imperial court many times, begging for relief, but unfortunately the court's relief is always late, and a drop in the bucket, in desperation, Yang Tingshu asked Zheng Xunrui for help, Zheng Xunrui could not look at Yang Tingshu at a loss, tried his best to squeeze out a part of the grain, and transported it to Taiyuan, Shanxi.

At this time, Lao Huihui entered Shanxi, and he will inevitably be able to expand the team more extensively.

When Zheng Xunrui received the holy decree, it was already the fourth day of the second month.

Governor's Yamen, wings.

Ma Shiying, the governor of Yansui, and Wen Zhenheng, the governor of Yan'an Prefecture, were waiting.

After Zheng Xunrui entered the wing, the two stood up and saluted. Although Wen Zhenheng is Zheng Xunrui's elder, when it comes to the governor's yamen to talk about business, he still has to pay attention to officialdom etiquette.

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly at the two of them and spoke.

"You also know the emperor's decree. This official has already recommended Lord Wen to the imperial court to serve as the political envoy to the left of the council, presumably it will not be long before the holy decree will come down, this official is the governor of the five provinces, responsible for the extermination of the Liukou affairs, it is impossible to stay in Xi'an, so the governor of the affairs of the yamen. Please ask Lord Wen to act as an agent temporarily, and many matters in Yan'an Mansion will be responsible for Lord Tongzhi Ma Zhukui on his behalf. ”

"Master Ma, regarding the arrangements of Yulin Border Town, this official also has some ideas. Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Yulin, was afraid that he would follow his official to exterminate the Liukou, and at the same time, the official would also transfer 10,000 Yulin border troops to participate in the extermination of the Liukou, as for the Yulin border town, the official sent Hong Xingui, a general of the Zheng family's army, to temporarily preside over the affairs of the Yulin border town, in addition, Yan'an Mansion and Xi'an Mansion both border Shanxi. In the case of being forced to helpless, it is possible to enter Shaanxi, so the defense of Yan'an Mansion. Please also ask Master Ma to pay more attention, the patrol inspection departments in various parts of Yan'an Mansion have good strength, but they cannot resist large-scale rogues, and to really exterminate the rogues, they still need the sergeants of Yulin Border Town. In this regard, the official will give a special explanation to General Hong Shen. ”……

After some arrangement, Ma Shiying left the wing. Left Wen Zhenheng behind.

Zheng Xunrui's expression became stern.

"Third Master, I already have an idea. After the extermination of the Liukou this time, whether it is successful or not, it is unlikely that I will stay in Shaanxi, so I am ready to recommend to the imperial court, the third prince will be the governor of Shaanxi, and the Donglin Party must not be involved here. ”

Wen Zhenheng was a little surprised, looked at Zheng Xunrui, and spoke for a long time.

"Qingyang, I am not from a Jinshi background, it is unlikely that I will be the governor of Shaanxi, and I can be the political envoy of the left senator, even if it is very good, if it is not for your recommendation, it is impossible at all."

"Don't worry about the third master, I'll figure out a way in this regard, but I also said it first, the third master is the governor of Shaanxi, and he must stabilize here, and there can be no fluctuations, even if I leave Shaanxi, I will leave part of the Zheng family army, stationed here, the third master adheres to the previous strategy, don't waver in the slightest, remember to put the people first, and you can maintain stability."

Wen Zhenheng nodded with a stern face.

"Qingyang, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it, it turns out that this time you asked me to preside over the affairs of the governor's yamen, just to let me adapt in advance."

"Yes, Shaanxi has never been valued by the imperial court, the attention of the imperial court, most of it is concentrated in Liaodong, in recent years, the Liukou basically did not operate in Shaanxi, most of the time is in Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and Sichuan and other places, so Shaanxi can recuperate, the people have basically settled down, such a situation must be maintained, if Shaanxi is chaotic, it is not a short time to calm down, the leaders of the Liukou, large and small, are all Shaanxi people, let them return to their nests, that is a typical tiger to return to the mountain."

"Qing Yang, the imperial court should have put you in charge of this matter of exterminating the Liukou a long time ago, I am very optimistic, I believe that you can exterminate the Liukou in the shortest possible time."

Zheng Xunrui smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"The third master is too optimistic, this time I don't dare to guarantee that I can completely exterminate the Liukou, Li Zicheng Zhang Xianzhong and Lao Huihui, they have long been prepared, they are divided into three ways, take care of each other, in case of emergency, they will quickly unite, or more dispersed, so that the imperial army can not completely exterminate them, Hong Chengchou has lost the best opportunity, and this time it was delayed for nearly a month, so that the Liukou got enough time."

"Qingyang, is it really that complicated, Liukou shouldn't be Zheng Jiajun's opponent."

"It's not that there is no chance at all, but who can say clearly about the changes in the current situation."

"Qingyang, I believe that the imperial court will not adjust the personnel lightly this time, Zhang Pu and others have been reprimanded by the emperor, and now they are all gray in the capital, they have gone too far, I heard that Qian Qianyi has complained about them."

Zheng Xunrui shook his head slightly, he was not worried about Zhang Pu and others at all, this matter of exterminating the Liukou had nothing to do with Zhang Pu and others, what he was worried about was the Houjin Tartars, that is, this year, the Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty officially called the emperor and established the Great Qing Dynasty, followed by the Houjin Tartars entering the customs in a big way and starting the looting in Beizhili.

He served as the governor of the five provinces, and at the critical moment of exterminating the rogues, if he encountered the invasion of the rogues, what should he choose.

Of course, Wen Zhenheng can't know these things, let alone Zheng Xunrui.

Wen Zhenheng still misunderstood.

"Qingyang, don't worry, the attitude of the eldest brother has changed a lot, as for Yao Ximeng, it can no longer affect the eldest brother, this time the eldest brother's speech at the court meeting is the best response to the Donglin Party, I also heard that the relationship between the eldest brother and Yao Ximeng has deteriorated significantly."

Zheng Xunrui seemed to ask inadvertently.

"I heard that Lord Yao's body is in condition, is there such a thing?"

"There is indeed this matter, I also heard what the eldest brother said, but I don't know what the specific situation is."

Zheng Xunrui sighed softly, he can change history, but there is no way to do one thing, that is, birth, old age, sickness and death, for example, Cao Wenzhao, it is said that he can change Cao Wenzhao's fate, but unfortunately God's arrangement is so strange, Cao Wenzhao still died in the game with Liukou.

"Okay, don't talk about these things, the third master, to maintain the stability of Shaanxi, the focus is still on grain, winter wheat will not be harvested until May, as for maize and sweet potato, that is for the Zheng family's army, Shaanxi has suffered from many years of famine, and if you want to recover, it is not a matter of a short time, so the mutual market with the Mongolian tribe is the top priority, buy grain from the south, trade with the Mongolian tribe, get more money, buy more grain, this is the only way at present."

Wen Zhenheng nodded, he knew this.

"In addition, the governor yamen must strictly control the affairs of the mutual market, recently some businessmen, whimsical, thinking of private transactions with the Mongolian tribes, the official is not polite, let them all go to see the king of Hades, in this regard, the third master should not be soft, after killing a few people, they will not dare to move, this is the lifeblood of Shaanxi, must be controlled, otherwise let go of the mutual market, Shaanxi will quickly fall into a crisis, only the people of Shaanxi slowly become rich, can really open up the mutual market."

Wen Zhenheng's face was stern, and he also heard about it, including individual businessmen in the south, who wanted to get a piece of the pie, but it was solved by Zheng Xunrui neatly, and since then, no one dared to mess around in the border towns of Yulin Ningxia and the capital of Shaanxi.

"Third master, I have said everything that should be said, I will leave 10,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army in Xi'an Fucheng, commanded by the general Hong Xintao, Hong Xintao is calm and steady, able to deal with unexpected things, military matters, the third master does not have to worry, and there is no need to interfere, if there is any emergency, Hong Xintao will report to me directly."

Wen Zhenheng nodded again and again, of course he knew this.

"Qingyang, you can rest assured, Zheng Jiajun's affairs, I will not interfere, I am concerned about people's livelihood matters, in addition, if I leave Yan'an Mansion, I recommend Ma Zhukui to be the prefect, Ma Zhukui is capable, and the cooperation between me and me over the years is very good, he is the prefect, and he can well stabilize the situation in Yan'an Mansion."

Zheng Xunrui shook his head.

"Third master, this is not appropriate, Ma Zhukui is just a person, I recommended the third master in front, and Ma Zhukui was recommended to be the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, the officials must have an opinion, I think it is better to let Huang Huixu, the governor of Yanzhou, be the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, as for Ma Zhukui, he can be appointed as the governor of Yanzhou, or go to the capital."

Wen Zhenheng thought for a moment and nodded.

"Well, this arrangement is good, I didn't expect it, or you think it through." (To be continued)
