In February, with the issuance of an edict from the Ming court and the establishment of the post of governor of the five provinces, although the situation of rebellion in various rebel armies was still grim, there were already signs of development in a good direction, and it gave the military generals of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and Sichuan a reassurance, and saw the hope of victory in the war.

On this day, in the northwest border of Henan, not far from the border with Shanxi, in the city of Shaanzhou, many military generals from Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan gathered, and almost all the general troops from all walks of life arrived.

In the post house of Shaanzhou City, a large number of soldiers carried out martial law, and one by one the generals entered one after another, or in groups of three or five, or several people in a team, and all kinds of whispering discussions came and went, filling every corner of the post hall hall.

The atmosphere was so loud and noisy that it was impossible to hear what each small group was talking about unless it was for the neighbors or the people who were talking together.

"Hey... I said, what is the origin of this Chen Qiyu? Within two years, his official position was promoted several levels, and he jumped from an unknown deputy envoy of Shaanxi to an envoy of Shaanxi. This governor of Yansui has only been in office for a little more than a year, and he was directly promoted to the governor of the five provinces, and this official was promoted a little too fast, too unbelievable~! ”

"Yes, this Chen Qiyu is not simple! In January of this year, there was news from the Ministry of War that the imperial court would set up the post of governor of the five provinces, among which the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou had the highest voice, and the Ministry of War was even more strongly recommended, but he did not expect to be the first to be taken by this in the end. ”

"Hey, hey... You don't know that, do you? A military general said a rhetorical question, his words stagnated, and then he cautiously raised his eyes and looked around, and then continued in a low voice: "As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials, and the news from a friend in Beijing is that this is the in-laws of Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, well... You get the idea...... right? ”

"No wonder....? Why is he holding the post of governor of the three sides, and he can't get out of his body and take care of the military affairs of the five provinces? It's all some prevarication, there are many such things, the general wears many hats, and he hasn't delayed anything? ”

"Shhhh Don't talk about it, people are coming. ”

At this moment, a person walked out of the side door of the hall, wearing armor, walking between the dragons and tigers. The armor was shining, dark and shining, and when they walked, the armor rubbed and collided with each other, and it was even more tinkling.

The military general walking in the center of the hall was Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, as Chen Qiyu walked into the hall, in the process of walking towards the upper seat, all the generals stood up, and the room immediately became very quiet, all eyes were watching, and slowly shifted with Chen Qiyu's movements.

In the process of walking slowly, in the face of everyone's attention, although Chen Qiyu's face was cold, calm like a pool of water, there were no waves, but there was some bitterness in his heart, which was very complicated.

The moment he received the appointment as the governor of the five provinces, Chen Qiyu was of course indescribably happy and couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, but the news sent by his in-laws afterwards made him feel like a basin of cold water was poured on his face, and he clearly knew that although he was able to become the governor of the five provinces, although his in-laws played a great role, it was more the emperor's suspicion that was at work, and he didn't want the generals to hold too much power.

Otherwise, it will be Hong Chengchou who is under the attention of thousands of people today.

Of course, although he didn't hear the whispers and many discussions of the generals in the hall just now, Chen Qiyu still heard the same or similar rumors from other channels, some envious, some jealous, some indignant, and so on.

In the process of flashing these thoughts in his mind, Chen Qiyu had already calmly walked to the upper seat, turned around and sat down slowly.

"Generals, please sit down~!"

The voice was still calm, and there was a sonorous energy in the loud voice, neither humble nor arrogant, which made the generals feel a little solemn, and sat down one after another, waiting for Chen Qiyu's words later.

"Ladies and gentlemen, by the grace of God, serve as the governor of the five provinces, responsible for the military affairs of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan, coordinate all parties, and control the generals, so that the generals of the provinces can be more consistent and more effective in encircling and suppressing the bandits."

"I have summoned you here this time to get acquainted with the generals, get to know each other, and hope that you can cooperate with each other, unite as one, and try your best to suppress the bandits in this area, stabilize the situation in Shanxi, and prevent the bandits in the west and southwest of Henan and the southeast of Shaanxi from spreading to the hinterland of the two provinces, and besiege them at the junction of Henan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan."

“......”

When Chen Qiyu was discussing with the generals in Shaanzhou, east of Shaanzhou, on Wangwu Mountain, which was only a few dozen miles away, he soon received the content of the meeting.

On a certain hill in the base area of Wangwu Mountain, Li Guo stood freely, looking into the distance, looking at the patches of Mailong, a sense of self-satisfaction arose, and his whole body was full of energy.

The Wangwushan Base Area is on the right track, everything is running in an orderly manner, and the base area is already completely self-sufficient, and there is no need to rely on external forces.

Completely unexpected, he didn't expect the infrastructure construction of Wangwushan to take more than a year. According to expectations, the initial construction of the base area will be completed in just over half a year.

At this moment, Li Guo believed that as the attention of the imperial court to suppress bandits shifted southward, the materials and personnel transported from various base areas in Shaanxi would continue to replenish the place, helping the development to open up new base areas in Shanxi.

At that time, taking the Wangwushan base area as a starting point, the surrounding base areas will spring up one after another like mushrooms after a rain, and the development speed will be half faster than that of the Wangwushan base area.

"Captain Li, the news from Shaanzhou that the reason why so many generals gathered in Shaanzhou is all because of the summoning of Governor Chen Qiyu to arrange the defense of Henan and Shanxi. While stabilizing the situation here, he also mobilized a large number of troops to prepare for the junction of Henan, Huguang, Sichuan and Shaanxi. ”

Moreover, according to the news from Shaanxi, Shaanxi Governor Lian Guoshi is leading troops to the south of Shaanxi, at the junction with Sichuan and Huguang. There is also Xuan Mo, the governor of Henan, who has left Luoyang and is leading the generals to march southwest. ”

A soldier held a letter in his hand, and after slowly speaking, he looked at Li Guo directly, and even asked, "Captain, do we want to send this news to the boss immediately?" ”

"Hmm... I use it, but I don't have to send it all. Li Guo pondered for a moment, and then explained: "Most of the news we got came from Mr. Xu Xiake in Henan and Mr. Song Yingxing in Shaanxi. Before sending the news, the two gentlemen must have given the boss a copy. ”

"That's... Captain, shall we only send the news of Shanxi and Jingshi to the boss? ”
