"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me."

As Wang Qi sat down, a small number of generals in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

This sense of oppression is too strong.

The commander-in-chief of Liaodong, the commander-in-chief of all military affairs in Liaodong, coincided with this critical moment, and no one had the slightest disobedience towards Wang Qi.

Zu Dashou is the head, the local generals of Liaodong are in a column, the Liaodong Patrol is headed by Yan Xiu, and the civil officials in Liaodong are in a column.

And Qin Erbao and other generals with special identities stood in front of the left, ready to be dispatched at any time.

In the first position, Wang Qi and Xiong Tingbi sat on the left and right.

As for Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan, naturally there were no seats for them in the hall, so they stood on the side of the hall and just attended.

Glancing at the people in the hall, focusing on Zu Dashou, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others, Wang Qi slowly spoke: "What happened in the past, this official is not to blame." ”

After listening to Wang Qi's words, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed.

Wang Qi opened his mouth to set the tone for this defensive battle.

"However, from this moment on, there are more than 23,000 soldiers in Ningyuan City, whoever dares to ignore the general's order, I will kill him! In addition, Ningyuan City will be under martial law from this moment, from the third quarter of the Shen hour to the first hour of the Chen hour, except for the permission of the official, no one is allowed to move around at will! All the food and water sources in the city are under military control and distributed as needed," Wang Qi's eyes were cold, he glanced at everyone, and called his entourage who had been promoted to a general: "Qin Erbao! ”

"The last general!" Qin Erbao was fully armored, carrying two knives at his waist, and bowed.

"You lead the personal guard battalion of 300 people, set up a military law team, anyone who dares to violate the military law, from the general army of the important town to the small flag soldiers, no need to ask, you can immediately behead him!"

"The last general obeys!" Qin Erbao was dressed in heavy armor, and his murderous aura was so fierce that everyone in the hall made their eyelids jump.

After entering the city, Wang Qi already had an understanding of the situation facing Ningyuan City, and at the same time had some guesses about Hou Jin's strategic intentions.

"At present, the Houjin army has crossed the line of the Liaohe River and entered the area controlled by our Ming Dynasty," After establishing the rules, Wang Qi began to analyze the current situation: "More than 30 guards in Guangning, the large and small Linghe areas, were all swept by the Houjin cavalry, and the soldiers could enter the Jinxian, Songshan Fort, Xingshan Station and other areas at any time. ”

With Wang Qi's words, Zu Dashou and the others were embarrassed, although this was the case, but Wang Qi's words really made the faces of the officials in Liaodong gloomy.

Xiong Tingbi, who was sitting beside Wang Qi, even hid his face with his sleeves and showed no face.

"But," Wang Qi said: "As far as I know, Houjin did send Erbel Amin to force Korea, so the soldiers and horses used to ambush my Ming Dynasty in Nurhachi's hands will definitely not exceed 30,000 people, and he will sweep all the land with 30,000 people and defeat me, but if you want to hold on for a long time, or march directly to Ningyuan City, Jin's current strength will definitely not be enough in the future, so for Nurhachi, whether to occupy my Guangning Zhuwei for a long time is still a matter that needs to be studied!" ”

Zu Dashou and the others looked at Wang Qi and said that Nurhachi did not have enough troops.

This young Liaodong commander-in-chief doesn't want to lead the army to fight Nurhachi, right?

"All the guards here, for the imperial court," Wang Qi smiled for the first time since he appeared: "Now you are considered guilty, and you don't want to rely on guarding Ningyuan City to make the princes of the imperial court forgive and let the emperor be gracious, right?" ”

"What do you want me to do? As long as I lead the army to battle, I can be a pioneer! "As Guangning as the former garrison officer, Man Gui was quite aggrieved in the battle of Haizhou Wei, and when he crossed the Liao River to attack Haizhou, he was a flank to prevent the Houjin sneak attack, and the credit was very small; And when he took Haizhou Wei, he led the army and was responsible for stationing in the mountains outside the city, doing nothing, and when Jin pounced at night, he was the first to bear the brunt, and was injured nearly thirty percent of the generals, so he could take the remnants out of the battlefield and return to the west of the Liao River.

Therefore, for Xiong Tingbi, Man Gui is still resentful, and at this moment, he met Wang Qi, who rushed back from the capital, and naturally wanted to offer a vote first!

"Good!" Wang Qi stroked his hands lightly and praised: "General Man is really a hero!" ”

"Promoted to Mangui as the deputy chief soldier of Ningyuan City, leading 3,000 foot soldiers! Left battalion for my striker! ”

For the first person to stand up and support him, Wang Qi was not stingy, and directly rewarded him with his confidant official position!

"My lord, I can also be a pioneer!" Beside Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, who was nearly half a hundred years old and still had a tiger's back and was covered in heavy armor, took a step forward and also asked Wang Qi for a military order.

was bullied to the front of his house, and he still wishfully stuck to Ningyuan City? It's not the husband's doing!

"General Zhao is also a hero!" Wang Qi praised again: "Feng Zhao led the sect as the chief officer of Songshan Fort, leading 3,000 foot soldiers, for my right battalion of forwards!" ”

Those who are loyal and brave should be rewarded!

"My lord! The last general is willing to be the vanguard! ”

"I want to be a pioneer!"

With the example of Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao, all the officials in the hall stepped forward to express their loyalty.

Not long after, Luo Yiyi and others also stepped forward and bowed down to express their willingness to drive Wang Qi.

In the end, Wang Qi looked at Zu Dashou, who had not spoken: "General Zu, what about you?" ”

From the period of Li Chengliang, the ancestral family of Ningyuan City has been operating here for three generations, and the door is the premier valve family in Liaodong.

At the beginning, in the city of Guangning, when Wang Huazhen, who was still the governor of Liaodong, sent troops to rescue Siping Fort, he also had to listen to Zu Dashou's opinion.

"The last general," Zu Dashou knew that he had to make a choice in the face of Wang Qi today, and bowed down: "The last general, I am willing to be driven by the adult!" ”

"Good!" got Zu Dashou's promise, and Wang Qi was neutral and powerful this time, which can be regarded as the initial effect.

Turning his head to look at Xiong Tingbi, who had not spoken, Wang Qi smiled and said: "Lord Jingluo, the people in the city, our soldiers and men have no way to manage, and they have to work hard!" ”

Wang Qi is very modest in what he said, but he is also very clear that Xiong Tingbi only needs to be in charge of civil affairs and the people, and as for military operations, there is no need for Liaodong Jingluo to intervene.

"Dingyuan Marquis rest assured," Xiong Tingbi sat on the side, watching Wang Qi collect these unruly generals one by one, no matter what, he admired in his heart.

In a short period of time, it is clear who is the main force in the army, who should be co-opted, who should be suppressed, when to give radish, and when to give the big stick Wang Qi to do, and he is already well versed in the art of officialdom to control people.

After a short time, all the officials in the hall were assigned their responsibilities.

"Zu Dashou, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao stayed, and the rest of the people returned to the yamen!" Wang Qi issued an order to expel the guests, and now the military situation is urgent, and it should not be taken lightly.

"The last general will retire!"

Seeing this, Xiong Tingbi also got up, since Wang Qi arranged civil affairs for him, pacified the people, and handled political affairs, that was where the duty lies: "If the Marquis of Dingyuan has instructions, just open your mouth and say goodbye!" ”

'Lord Jingluo, please! ’

Only Zu Dashou, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others remained in the waiting hall, while Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan were always by Wang Qi's side.

"Look at the tea!" Wang Qi first beckoned the maid to serve tea, and then stretched out his hand: "Everyone, please take a seat!" ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Zu Dashou took two steps back, and behind him was the chair, and he bowed down to sit down, but before his butt touched the chair, he heard Wang Qi's voice.

"Ningyuan City, how many soldiers and horses does the ancestral family have?"
