Thanks to Li Xingzhi's absolute authority in the Jingbei Army and his victories again and again, although the towns and towns of the former Jingbei Army had some doubts about Li Xingzhi's arrangement, they did not have much objection.

And Jin Shengheng, Hui Dengxiang, Liu Guoneng and others are already demoted generals, so naturally they will not question Li Xingzhi's military orders.

After arranging the appointment of Li Dingguo, Li Xingzhi's eyes turned to Sun Kewang.

To tell the truth, Sun Kewang's character is quite controversial in history, in history, the Ming Dynasty was able to resist the pseudo-Qing Dynasty for more than ten years with the help of Yunnan and Guizhou, although there were Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi and others who fought to the death.

However, if there is Sun Kewang in the government, raising grain and grass for Li Dingguo and others, and consolidating the Yunnan-Guizhou base, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to support it for so long.

After the death of Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Kewang can quickly become the soul of the Great Western Army, become a new leader who can suppress all parties, and make the Great Western Army get a new great development, on the other hand, after the loss of Li Zicheng, the Great Shun Army immediately became a plate of scattered sand, became their own independent warlords, could not be reunited, combined into a single body, and finally fell apart in a few years, leaving only the size of Kuidong.

Moreover, Sun Kewang was able to judge the situation, change his course, change the wrong policy of Zhang Xianzhong during his lifetime, abolish the name of Daxiguo, put forward the correct proposition of "restoring the country after the Ming Dynasty is jointly supported", transferred to Yunnan, pacified Tusi, and established a new base area.

In terms of governance in Yunnan, Sun Kewang reformed the land system, so that the cultivators had their own fields, built water conservancy, issued copper coins, paid attention to the protection of commerce, and eliminated bad rules.

In the military aspect, Sun Kewang strictly enforced military discipline, changed the bad habits of the Great Western Army in the past, burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, regained the love of the people, cleaned up the household registration, expanded the army, and the Great Western Army grew from 20,000 people who first entered Sichuan to more than 100,000 later, and became the main force in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, Sun Kewang also paid attention to ethnic contradictions, successfully united the ethnic minorities in Yunnan, and changed the situation that the Tusi rebelled and attached to the time. ”

Although these governance measures were all proposed by Sun Kewang's main advisers Fang Yuxuan, Fu Zhuo, Wu Fengsheng and others, the specific decisions still need to be approved and implemented by Sun Kewang, so Sun Kewang obviously has the ability and vision of an excellent ruler.

Although Sun Kewang was ambitious and wanted to go one step further and become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his contribution to governing Yungui and presiding over the southwest counteroffensive in the seventh year of Yongli is still indelible.

For such a political talent, let him command the soldiers and horses, to be honest, it is overkill, so Li Xingzhi is ready to let Sun Kewang act as the prefect of Qingzhou, as for what the imperial court thinks, Li Xingzhi doesn't care, the military horses on the nine sides are gathering in Ningyuan, and the imperial court still has the matter of air traffic control Shandong?

"Let the last general be the prefect of Qingzhou?"

Sun Kewang was a little confused, he was under Zhang Xianzhong's account, although he was responsible for the preparation of military rations for the whole battalion, but in the end, he was the commander of a battalion, and he was an out-and-out martial artist.

"General Sun, the actual area controlled by my Jingbei Army is the Leiden area, although at present" began to develop to Jinan and Qingzhou, but Qingzhou was slaughtered once by the Eastern Captives after all, your main task is to restore the local people's livelihood, to ensure that Yanzhou's iron ore and materials can be safely transported to Dengzhou, if you do a good job, it is a provincial political envoy, governor, this commander can promise you.

For ambitious people, it is naturally impossible to grant military power, but in order to make the best use of his talents, Li Xingzhi can only find a way to do civilian work.

"Oh, the last general obeys!"

At this time, Sun Kewang obviously did not have the ambition to become the lord of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, after thinking about it, he gladly accepted Li Xingzhi's appointment, although it was said that the troubled times were martial artists, but the prefect of a prefecture and Li Xingzhi's promise of political envoys and governors were still very attractive to Sun Kewang.

After reorganizing the towns, Li Xingzhi immediately ordered Tang Shao and Qin Ying, the deputy generals of Xinyi Town, to immediately gather their soldiers and horses, order their equipment, and follow Yang Biao out of Jinan, in order to unify the command, Li Xingzhi specially added Yang Biao, the first town, Zhenjiang, as the title of Shandong Governor, and commanded 10,000 troops and horses in the first town and Xinyi Town to guard Jinan and Luokou and Yongqing River Fortress.

After all, Li Xingzhi is only the commander-in-chief of Shandong and Liaodong, and he cannot arbitrarily confer the title of commander of a town as the chief soldier and commander of a town.

At the same time as the army was expanding, Li Xingzhi personally went to Jiaoao, after all, there were two big rich men, Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, and Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity of the Bo, who were inspecting the situation of the city's shipping department, and Li Xingzhi would never dare to snub these two big households when he did not cheat them out of money and grain.

To tell the truth, although Zhu Guobi and Liu Kongzhao colluded with the Donglin Party and Zheng Zhilong in the southern capital to conduct overseas trade in private, but these two goods are high-ranking Ming nobles, and these things will naturally not be handled personally, so the two of them are particularly curious about shipping matters.

Li Xingzhi had never been to sea in his previous life, and he did not know much about the shipping businessmen, and after entertaining Zhu Guobi and Liu Kongzhao, several people inspected the sea ship wharf set up by the city shipping department in Jiao'ao Bay and the transportation of sea ships.

"Dashuai, Baoguo Gong, Sincerity, please see, this is soaked beans, the soldiers crossed the ocean, to the Wa country, it takes three months to go back and forth, vegetables can not be stored for so long, the soldiers can only eat the sprouts from the beans to provide nutrition."

Qian Anning, the secretary of the city, was obviously quite concerned about the matter of shipping, and in the face of Zhu Guobi and Liu Kongzhao's doubts, he had to answer all questions.

"Then is this fish also for the soldiers? You don't have to catch fish at sea, so why do you bring raw fish? Isn't it waiting for them to stink and spoil? ”

Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, casually pointed to the sea fish filled with several wooden barrels, and asked suspiciously.

"Baoguo Gong, I don't know, our sea ship went to the Japanese country for several months, these fish are actually waiting for it to deteriorate and stink, used to get rid of maggots, because the soldiers not only have to eat vegetables and bean sprouts at sea, but the meat must also have enough supplements, but this meat is marinated with a lot of salt, and it will stink after a long time, attracting flies, and this stinky fish is used to remove maggots that may be produced on the meat."

Qian Anning didn't care about Zhu Guobi and Liu Kongzhao's nausea caused by nausea, he had to raise the difficulties of maritime trade one by one, so as to strive for more benefits for his commander.

"No wonder when he was in the southern capital, Li Dashuai refused to open with us four or six, and the soldiers went back and forth to add the maintenance of the sea ship, and it cost a lot of silver."

After leaving Kou Baimen to Zhu Guobi, Zhu Guobi was obviously a lot closer to Li Xingzhi, and he actually began to care about the cost of the Jingbei Army's naval division.
