Woowoo......

The whistle sounded three times in a row.

With the sound of steam gushing, the wheels of the train clattered against the rails.

The "Lion" steam locomotive, which had been filled with water, started again.

The soldiers on both sides of the station saluted the train with their swords and watched the train go away.

Because on the train, sat their king!

Yang Chengying sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window and quickly retreating from his eyes, and realized that the short days of another expedition were over, and a new event awaited him.

The feeling of being in the upper position for a long time came back automatically, and without anyone reminding him, Yang Chengying had consciously placed himself in the powerful power center of the past.

He led the regiment to set out from Shenyang, followed the footsteps of the latecomers, ran several large places like a whirlwind, demarcated the pastures of the left-wing Mongolian tribes, and determined more than 10 strongholds for reclamation, and the results were real and gratifying.

What made Yang Chengying even happier was that during his absence from Shenyang, the number of people recruited hit a new high, and even Changchun Fort was inhabited by Han people. According to preliminary statistics, in the first year, 3 million old and weak women and children were recruited.

In addition to recruitment, there are also populations that have been successively cleared out of the Jurchen aristocracy.

In the past, some nobles refused to believe in the fact that the country was lost, and even thought about hiding the population.

These were all found out by Daishan, Dolgon and others.

Combined with the people who accepted the appeasement, there were at least 300,000 people.

In addition, because they could not bear the exploitation of the nobles of the Li Dynasty, 200,000 people of the Li Dynasty secretly went to Andong County and were properly resettled by Zhou Lianggong.

So many people have promoted the vigorous development of the textile industry, and dozens of steam textile machines have been put into production.

Everything is developing in the direction that Yang Chengying expected.

As long as he thought of this, Yang Chengying felt that he should have a few drinks and celebrate.

Take a train, why are you so emotional?

Because......

Damn, if you don't think about that, you won't be able to take this train.

Despite the rudimentary shock absorbers, it is normal for people to sit on the train and sway back and forth, occasionally bumping up and down.

"Shake, shake, and we'll be home in a while."

Yang Chengying muttered in a low voice.

Shenyang, Zhou Wangfu.

The people here are incredibly busy.

Clean the palace inside and out, then decorate the façade, arrange the food, and so on.

From top to bottom of the palace, even the maids and servants changed into brand new clothes.

The princess held Yang Zongji and Yang Zongjin, and the nurse held Yang Zongmin and got into the sedan chair in the palace.

The attendants all rode in carriages.

They went to Shenyang West Railway Station to meet Yang Chengying.

Not only the palace, but also the entire Shenyang office moved.

Packed with Shenyang West Railway Station.

Wu Sangui's Liaodong Army, which was stationed in Shenyang, led the army to protect the Shenyang West Railway Station to prevent accidents.

Everyone stood at Shenyang West Railway Station, quietly looking west, the direction the train was coming from.

At 11:30 a.m., the sound of steam locomotives appeared in the west.

Immediately after, a train appeared in people's sight.

There was already a moment of tiredness, and immediately thundered with joy.

Yang Chengying sat at the window, looked at the cheering crowd, and waved.

With a "beep" jet, the train stopped steadily at Shenyang West Railway Station.

The door was forcefully pulled open by the guards from the outside, and Yang Chengying stepped off the train.

As he got off the train, the cheers reached their highest.

Yang Chengying waved his hand, then got out of the car and came to the princess and the others.

"Congratulations to the general on his triumphant return!"

The princess was blessed.

Yang Chengying smiled: "I'm not here these days, the princess has worked hard." Then, he looked at Yingniang and Shen Yirong: "You have also worked hard." ”

"The general is fighting outside, and all he encounters are jackals, tigers and leopards, which is hard."

The princess had long heard the people who came back early talk about the situation in the Northeast, although she didn't have to worry about Yang Chengying's life, but she still had concerns.

"All the hard work is over." Yang Chengying said, touching the faces of his three children.

"A banquet has been set up in the house, and the troupe has been invited, the general will go back to the house to rest for a day or two, and it will not be too late to deal with major events when the rest is good."

The princess understands Yang Chengying very well, he is an idle person.

Yang Chengying nodded: "Everything is arranged by the princess." ”

Seeing that Yang Chengying and his family said something similar, Fan Wencheng and other high-level officials stepped forward to salute and greet him.

"You have been waiting for a long time, and tomorrow morning you will come to the Chongzheng Palace, and this king will discuss important matters with you."

Yang Chengying said loudly.

Hearing this, the princess smiled and shook her head, still the same.

"Yes, my lord."

On behalf of everyone, Fan Wencheng said, "Please go back to the palace and have a good rest, and the ministers will arrive on time tomorrow morning." ”

Hug back and forth out of the exit of the train station, looking at the falling snowflakes, Yang Chengying thought that it was also heavy snow when he set off, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

The mighty convoy was opened by the welcoming team led by Li Dingguo, and in the last heavy snow of the eighth year of Chongzhen, it drove to the palace of King Zhou.

"Zonghei, how did you accomplish the task I taught you?"

In the carriage, Yang Chengying asked the eldest son who was sitting opposite.

"Under the Master's supervision, the child has almost memorized."

Yang Zongsi sat upright, but his expression was a little nervous.

"Okay, then I'll test you, where is it to the west from Hamiwei?"

Yang Chengying asked with a smile.

He tries not to put too much pressure on the child.

"It's Turpan, father."

Yang Zongsi rubbed his clothes and replied in a low voice.

"Who is the ruler of Turpan?" Yang Chengying asked.

"Ah...... Abdul Rain, Father. ”

"Whose son is he?"

"The twelfth son of Rashid Khan."

"And who is Rashide Khan?"

"The second king of the Yarkand Khanate, the eldest son of Sa'id Khan."

"What are their origins?"

"The Mongols who believe in Islam are all descendants of Chagatai."

"There are two major factions in the area, do you know what they are?"

"It's the White Mountain faction and the Black Mountain faction, but they are both objects to be careful of."

Hearing his son say this, Yang Chengying was very happy and touched his head.

Subsequently, Yang Chengying said: "When governing the country or fighting abroad, you must not take it for granted that you are the best. We must adapt measures to local conditions, make good use of local people who are kind to us, and do not give up the attraction and checks and balances of local wealthy families.

The combination of grace and power is the only magic weapon for stable rule. Don't change easily until you don't have the ability to establish a new rule on the ground.

Domination without order is much more terrifying than ruling with a modicum of order. If you force a change, it will only make the local people resent you from top to bottom.

Then your original intention of occupying it will also change, and you will even be so angry that you want to give up. ”

"The child has remembered the words of his father."

Yang Zongsi nodded seriously.

In fact, Yang Chengying asked Yang Zonghei on the lips, but he was thinking about overseas affairs in his heart.

However, he did not plan to continue to ask his son about it.

Because next year, he will personally solve the problems overseas.
