In the second year of the Apocalypse, the third day of the ninth month.

In anticipation of the entire imperial court and the people of Liaodong, Xu Guangqi returned to Beijing.

In just 47 days, 3.7 million taels of silver were raised from the private sector.

Countless people and scholars discussed the next movement of the imperial court.

"Xu Guangqi arrived in Beijing today, more than three million taels of white flowers, tsk, under the sun, it's just blind!"

"What are you talking about in your dreams, and you're blind? Do you think it's three hundred taels of silver? In fact, as far as I know, more than 3 million taels of silver were directly divided into ten trips from Shanshan and directly escorted by the army to Shanhaiguan, and they will not enter the capital at all."

"You say, when the silver arrives, when will the imperial court make a move on the Liaodong Jurchens?"

"What's the hurry? Lang Guogong has already said, this time with a handle, as long as you follow the step-by-step, step by step, within half a year, plough the court to sweep the holes, pacify Liaodong, when the time comes, it is the beginning of my Ming Dynasty," the man who spoke said, with a look of longing: "In addition to the Han Dynasty, there are three hundred dynasties in the world?" If there is, it's me! ”

Regarding the promotion of Wang Qi by the Emperor of the Apocalypse to Cao Mang, the monarch and the ministers got along, from the officials of the hundred households to the grandfather of the country, the matter has been written into a book, and now it is widely circulated among the people.

"Big deal, big deal!" As everyone was talking, the man who arrived last came shouting with a newspaper in his hand, holding a new newspaper issued by the Tongzheng Yamen today.

When everyone saw this, they immediately gathered around, wanting to see the contents of the newspaper in the man's hand.

Since Wang Qi ascended to the throne, the daily news released by the Di Bao has been divided into two parts, one part is the official news of serious words, and most of them are the content of some recent court deliberations and the comments of anonymous people, as for the other part of the Di Bao, it is more about the miscellaneous news of the people, such as where Gyeonggi opened a factory, recruited a number of people, a certain amount of monthly money, etc., and there are also Condor Heroes, Shaolin Five Ancestors and other books are published in series, which are very popular with Gyeonggi people.

The man spread out the newspaper and read the message aloud to everyone:

"Yesterday, a mysterious person named Tianshan Ke commented in the Di newspaper: In order to ensure the victory of the Liaodong War, it is recommended that Wang Qi immediately leave for Liaodong to calm the hearts of the people in the world! This person listed nine reasons for Wang Qi to go to Liao, which seems to be a perfect word! ”

"There are Tianshan guests, there are green-robed people, it seems to be a ring, Tianshanke's article has just been published, and the opposite is the green-robed person's article, which says that Liaodong has been preparing for half a year, and the upper and lower soldiers are all waiting for the day, sharpening their knives Huohuo, changing generals at this time, it will only make the upper and lower suspicions and make things turbulent."

Before the man finished speaking, someone interrupted: "Everyone has known this news for a long time, isn't the court still talking about it?" ”

"You may not know the next news!" The man holding the newspaper smiled: "An hour ago, the Duke of Langguo entered the palace to discuss matters, and several ministers of the military department and the yamen also entered the palace together."

"Could it be that there is any latest news from the palace?"

Everyone was nervous when they heard this.

Isn't Lang Guogong really going into battle?

"Tongzheng Yuan grapevine," the man lowered his voice: "Half an hour ago, on the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Lang Guogong rejected the emperor's will to appoint the governor of Jiliao again, and insisted that Xiong Tingbi be the supreme commander of the Liaodong war There is only one reason, changing generals in battle, and it is taboo!" ”

Hiss!!!!

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused everyone to gasp.

Governor Jiliao!

But on Lang Guogong, it's normal.

At this time, when there were constant discussions inside and outside the entire capital, in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, there was also a heated discussion between the monarchs and ministers.

"Xiong Tingbi's plan, first send troops to behead Haizhou Wei, and then take Zu Dashou as the vanguard, 100,000 troops surround Liaoyang City, and the rest of Qin Erbao, Luo Yiyi and others led scattered troops, pulled out the strongholds and fortresses around Liaoyang City, and pushed the battle line to the line of Fushun on the Hunhe River, and waited for the real soldiers to come to Shenyang City, and it would take a month," On the main hall, Lu Yu was explaining the strategic plan of the Liaodong war to everyone, which was also the battle plan jointly discussed by Xiong Tingbi and the people in the military department during this time.

This battle plan has been confirmed by the Military Department, the Master of Ceremonies, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse, even if he is a general, Xiong Tingbi must fight according to this plan.

If you want to change your strategy, you can, but the cost and results required are definitely not what Xiong Tingbi is willing to bear.

"The armor and grain have arrived, and the Liao salary will be able to reach Shanhaiguan in about a few days?" Sitting on the throne, the Emperor of the Apocalypse listened for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the armor and grain have arrived in Ningyuan City ten days ago, and the Liaodong Commander has made an exchange, according to the inspection envoy, and the military preparation road has been resolved, and there are documents," Sun Chengzong stood up and answered the question: "As for Liao's salary, Lord Xu's letter arrived at Shanhaiguan five days ago, and the transfer officer is non-stop, and it is expected that after ten days, more than 3.7 million taels of silver will reach his chest and hands." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded when he heard this.

Bang bang, patted the dragon chair with his palm, with a rare sense of ease, and then slowly got up, and walked to the sand table with the support of Wei Zhongxian, and there was a small flag left behind when Lu Yu explained, and a small flag represented tens of thousands of horses.

"When Liaodong is pacified, my emperor should also be born," Zhu Youxiao said with expectation and relief: "This is the best gift." ”

"Aiqing, did you say?" Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Wang Qi.

"The prince has his own luck, and the ministers congratulate His Majesty," Wang Qi replied without being salty.

"Haha, in terms of sloppy and slapping horses, you ten Langguo dukes can't be worth one Wei Zhongxian," Zhu Youxiao laughed when he heard this, pointed at Wang Qi and said: "You have been working hard recently, and the Military Department is also planning everything, I see it in my eyes, and when the affairs of Liaodong are finished, I plan to completely graft the functions and powers of the cabinet to the Military Department, so as to rule the world." ”

The Military Division, like a cabinet, is actually very different.

Wanduan of the world is still tightly held by Zhu Youxiao, but the power of the original cabinet has been infinitely weakened.

Now it seems that Wang Qi seems to be powerful, but as long as Zhu Youxiao says a word, the Military Department will be replaced immediately.

Looking back now, after a series of court struggles, Zhu Youxiao has completely reorganized the court that was originally scattered and party struggles, and now it is Zhu Youxiao's court alone.

Of course, the premise is that Wang Qi can be in control.

Looking at Wang Qi, who was not far away, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt safe: "When Princess Ningde gets married, Wang Qi can take this opportunity to stay at home from now on." ”

Now, everything is still in Zhu Youxiao's plan.
