"Big brother, do you really plan to go back to Beijing right now?"

At night, in the temporary line in Haizhou City, Chief of Staff Wang Qian asked Liu Jun, in the house, there were Fu Shan, the chief soldier of the Eighth Town, Zhang Shan, the chief soldier of the Ninth Town, Cai Yuan, the deputy chief soldier of the First Division, Zhang Guodong, the deputy chief of staff of the Second Division, and Cao Duan, the chief of staff of the Eighth Town, as well as Zhao Guoliang and Zhang Guodong, the general of the Fourth Assistant, who were transferred from the eight and nine towns of Haizhou.

"Your Majesty's decree has been read, can I still disobey it?" Liu Jun smiled slightly, "Don't think nonsense, the emperor transferred me back to Beijing, I have the emperor's considerations, and we just need to do what the courtiers do." ”

"But this will really makes people feel aggrieved, saying that it is a reward, who can't see that this is a vigilance against the eldest brother everywhere, this is a reduction of troops and seizure of power. Originally, he was transferred from Lianghu to Liaodong, but there was nothing, and he also cut the military power of the eldest brother in a town, but what did the eldest brother say? We Nine-headed Bird started from scratch, all of them worked hard by ourselves, and we didn't spend a penny of money from the imperial court to quell the rebellion in the Central Plains. When we arrived in Liaodong, there was no piece of territory, and we laid down Zhenjiang and Lushun Erfu. But now, the eldest brother is going to be transferred to Beijing, which is to seize the military power of the nine-headed bird, and the brothers are not convinced. ”

"Not convinced by what? Although the nine-headed bird was created by me and the public series, this soldier is also a soldier of the imperial court. Liu Jun reprimanded. But in his heart, he is still very happy, worthy of being his sworn brother, he has been following him for the past few years, and although he is still a senior military general of the general lieutenant general, his heart is still towards himself.

But Liu Jun knows that now is not the time.

He turned to Fu Shandao, who had been silent since he came in, "Master Qing, you have always been steady and angry, don't mess around with them, when I am not in Liaodong in the future, remember to watch them more for me, don't make any trouble." ”

Fu Shan was not the one who originally followed Liu Jun, nor was he the patriarch of the nine-headed bird. He has never been a brother with Liu Jun. But Liu Jun has always trusted him and relied on him, and now as the chief military officer of the Eighth Town, he is Liu Jun's right-hand man. But in the end, Liu Jun is still a little worried about loyalty.

"Don't worry, Duke Chu, I will take the Eighth Town with me." Fu Shan said, and then he hesitated a little, and said again, "Duke Chu, I have always had a plan. It's just that I didn't dare to take the liberty to mention it, today, I plan to formally submit it, and I hope that Duke Chu can agree. ”

"Oh, if only you could say anything straight, where do we need to be so polite."

Fu Shan said, "Duke Chu knew that I had originally married a wife, but later she had a short life and had been dead for several years. I'm in my thirties now. Since she has not remarried, I have seen Miss Ling Mei Si, and I have a good impression, knowing that I am not yet married. I took the liberty to propose to Duke Chu today, I wonder if Duke Chu can be fulfilled? ”

Liu Jun was surprised.

He is indeed clear about Fu Shan's situation, a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, and a scholarly family for generations. It's still a eunuch's family. At the beginning, Fu Shan followed Yuan Jixian to study, and he also had the identity of a showman and a prisoner. Fu Shan is ten years older than Liu Jun and has had a wife before. also gave birth to children, but his wife died early, and Fu Shan never remarried.

Liu Jun's family also has two younger sisters who have never married, the fourth sister and the fifth sister, both of whom were born to their aunts, and they are almost at the age of marriage. In the past two years, many families have come to propose marriage, but Daddy Liu has not been selected yet. Liu Jun never thought that Fu Shan would fall in love with the fourth sister.

However, what surprised him the most was that Fu Shan proposed marriage in public at this time.

Liu Jun turned his mind and immediately understood. Fu Shan is showing his loyalty to Liu Jun in disguise, Fu Shan is no better than Zhang Shan and Wang Qian, they are all Liu Jun's sworn brothers, but now as long as he marries Liu Jun's sister, it will naturally be Liu Jun's family.

"Hahaha, of course I do." Liu Jun burst out laughing, "I'll write to my father right away and report this to him." Rest assured, this is just a process, the parents of the children and daughters are in charge, I believe they will definitely agree, it is difficult to find a good husband like Brother Fu. ”

Zhang Shan and others also laughed beside them.

"Master Qing, I can't see it, it turns out that you actually stared at the fourth lady earlier."

"I really know people and faces, I don't know my heart, tell me honestly, when did you start falling in love with Miss Four."

Everyone laughed, and immediately drew closer.

"The towns will be handed over to you, and I will be able to return to Beijing with peace of mind." Liu Jun smiled and said, the emperor's meaning is obvious, this is to take precautions in advance, to prevent the generals from supporting the army and respecting themselves. It is impossible for Liu Jun to refuse to obey the order now, and it is not yet that time. And returning to Beijing now does not mean that the emperor really wants to do something to him.

As long as the Houjin is not extinguished, Liu Jun does not have to worry about his safety, but the emperor will definitely carefully cut his power.

With a group of brothers such as Fu Zong and Zhang Shan here, Liu Jun doesn't have to worry about the nine-headed bird getting out of his control for the time being. As for the long time, Liu Jun also believes that there must be a way.

First follow the emperor's wishes, there is no need to resist the decree for the time being.

Early the next morning, Fu Zonglong and Fan Zhiwan couldn't wait to come over to hand over the military power to Liu Jun. Fu Zonglong's attitude was good, and he expressed regret for Liu Jun's transfer back to Beijing to serve as a teacher, and he was sincere. He felt that Liu Jun was still very meritorious in commanding troops in Liaodong.

And Fan Zhiwan's attitude has changed a little, when he first came, he was bent on winning over Liu Jun, and he came to the task of Zhou Yanru. But Liu Jun didn't pay much attention to Fan Zhiwan's wooing, and Fan Zhiwan truthfully reported these to Zhou Yanru. Now, Liu Jun has really been transferred, and Fan Zhiwan also breathes a sigh of relief.

He was a dignified governor, and Liu Jun, a military general, didn't take him seriously at all, and often didn't inform him when he even held a military meeting.

"Congratulations to Duke Chu for his promotion back to Beijing and his success." Fan Zhiwan said to Liu Jun with a smile on his face.

Liu Jun just smiled.

Fan Zhiwan said again, "Duke Chu has been promoted back to Beijing, and now the food and equipment of Liaodong soldiers and horses have been transferred to the management of this official, Duke Chu, is it not to hand over the accounts and inventory of food and ordnance?" ”

"What is Fan Futai talking about? When did the imperial court pay for the food and equipment of the three towns in Liaodong? It's all self-funded. ”

Fan Zhiwan asked, "What about the food and equipment raised?" ”

"It's all gone."

"Running out?"

Liu Jun smiled, "That's right, they have all been used up, and in the future, the food and equipment of the seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses in the three towns will have to be planned by Fan Futai, and the official is also relieved." To tell the truth, the monthly salary of the soldiers and horses in each town exceeded 200,000 silver dollars. I have put a lot of effort into raising this money. ”

Fan Zhiwan didn't believe Liu Jun's words at all, he also had some understanding of the source of the Chu army's food and salary, and knew that it was raised through various channels such as issuing lottery tickets, as well as salt factories and firearms workshops, and seizing them, and the Chu army was never short of salaries, on the contrary, the food and equipment of the Chu army were very sufficient, and the soldiers of the Chu army were paid more than other soldiers and were better equipped.

But it was obvious that Liu Jun was not ready to transfer these to him.

"Duke Chu. I remember that the emperor seemed to have decreed that the salt field in Yingcheng, Hubei, the firearms workshop in Hutoubao and the lottery tickets in the two lakes, and the rent of the tuntian in Hubei were all used to supply the food and salary of the Chu army, right? Chu Guogong just gave those accounts to his own official. ”

Liu Jun sneered, "The income from the salt farm, the firearms factory, the lottery tickets and the Hubei Juntun, Your Majesty did have a purpose to supply the Chu army. However, now we have three towns in Liaodong here are Liaodong soldiers and horses, and they are no longer two lakes soldiers and horses. Why do you think. Will the two lakes supply Liaodong soldiers and horses? ”

Fan Zhiwan was anxious, "But aren't these soldiers and horses all transferred from the two lakes, and haven't they always been supplied from the two lakes?" ”

"Oh, is that so? I don't remember. Maybe you're misremembering. Anyway, I don't have any accounts here, Fan Futai wants the two lakes to continue to supply, that's your business, you can go to the governor of the two lakes Yuan yourself. Ask him to supply the three towns of Liaodong. Sorry, Fan Futai, if you don't have anything else. I'll go first, and there are still some handover matters, and I want to discuss them with Governor Fu. ”

Fan Zhiwan watched Liu Jun turn around and leave, and the green tendons on his forehead were angry. As soon as Liu Jun left, the three towns of Liaodong would be under the jurisdiction of the governor and governor in the future, but now, the food and salary of 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses in these three towns were all pressed on his head.

Where is he going to raise the food for the three towns in the future?

The whole handover process is simple, and there is not much to handover. Originally, the governor was originally the highest official in Liaodong, but now that Liu Jun is gone, it is just to really get the actual control that they couldn't get before.

A simple ceremony, which can be regarded as a formal handover. Then, Liu Jun was no longer the governor of Liaodong, and Fu Zonglong and Fan Zhiwan officially controlled the two prefectures and three towns in Liaodong.

Fu Zonglong immediately convened a meeting, announced that he would take advantage of the victory to attack Liaoyang in the north, and decided to transfer two more troops from Zhenjiang and Lushun to reinforce it.

Liu Jun also attended the meeting, but he no longer had decision-making power at the meeting. Liu Jun even just sat on the side and didn't say a word.

Halfway through the meeting, another angel arrived.

"Chu Guogong Zhu Ciye takes the order!"

Set up an incense case to welcome the holy decree, and only one day later, another holy decree arrived, and Liu Jun was a little confused.

Fu Shan stood next to Liu Jun and said in a low voice, "Maybe the emperor has received the news of our victory in Gaizhou, and he has made this decree again, recovering the previous holy decree, and returning to Beijing without transferring the marshal." ”

Zhang Shan also hurriedly said, "This must be the case." ”

Sure enough, the decree was announced, and the emperor ordered Liu Jun to leave for Beijing immediately after seeing the decree, and to arrive in Beijing within 15 days to take office.

Wang Qian couldn't help but ask the eunuch, "Does the emperor know about the victory in Gaizhou?" ”

"I know, before our family left Beijing, the Jingshi had already broken through the state of Chu and captured more than 50,000 traitors such as Kong Youde, so I am very happy. No, the emperor also has an edict that when the Duke of Chu returns to Beijing, all the large and small officers who led more than 100 people in the rebel army captured in Gaizhou City will be escorted back to Beijing for disposal. As for the other rebel soldiers, they were sent to Tuntian, Taiwan, according to the previous performance of Chu Guogong. ”

Wang Qian sighed in disappointment, and then asked, "Does the emperor know that we have broken through more than ten castles in Haizhou and other sizes?" ”

"I don't know about this, our family also came to Haizhou after they arrived in Gaizhou first and didn't see Chu Guogong."

Liu Jun stopped Wang Qian, "Don't say it, I will leave immediately, and strive to rush back to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

"Report!"

A galloping horse galloped to the ground, and the knight had not yet arrived, and had already shouted loudly, "The military situation of western Liaoning, the defeat of Yizhou, the governor of western Liaoning, Wu Sangui, led the 120,000 troops of five towns under the city of Yizhou, and the governor of Jiliao, Lord Hong, the governor of Shaanxi, and the five general soldiers were besieged in Jinzhou" (to be continued. )
