Chapter 218: The Governor of Jiliao arrives in Ningyuan
Soon, the news of Wang Qi, the Duke of Langguo, going to Liao had crossed the Shanhai Pass, entered Ningyuan City, and spread to the land of Liaodong.
Everyone knows that Wang Qi's trip to Liao this time to prevent the troops from resisting Houjin is the top priority, and before that, Liaodong Jiangmen will inevitably bear the brunt.
On October 6, the second year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, the middle gate of Ningyuan City, an important town in eastern Liaodong, was opened, and the honor guards and guards who stretched for miles on the official road were all to welcome the arrival of the Duke of Langguo.
Originally, it was more than 100 miles from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan City, and the routs and remnants of more than 40 fortresses all disappeared, I don't know if they were deliberately collected by the generals of Liaodong, or if they had already crossed Shanhaiguan and entered the Gyeonggi territory, anyway, no one would appear in Wang Qi's line of sight.
"The last general Zu Dashou (He Kegang, Zhang Cunren, Zhang Yan) greets the Governor!"
Zu Dashou is the leader, and behind him are all civil and military generals of Ningyuan City, and Zhang Yan, Jiang Tianying and others are all Liaodong generals, and they have been guarding Liaodong for generations since the Wanli period.
"Greetings to the Governor!"
In front of the entire Ningyuan City, nearly a thousand honor guards knelt down to worship the new governor of Jiliao.
"Please, tired soldiers, why bother?" Wang Qi turned over and dismounted, handed the horse whip in his hand to Wang Shouxin, and then walked in front of Zu Dashou with a smile: "In the battle of Shenyang, Zu Daren took the lead, and I have heard about it in the capital. ”
"The general of the defeated army, don't dare to disturb the purity of the lord," Zu Dashou knelt there, and cold sweat was already dripping on his forehead in an instant.
Wang Qi's tired soldier, why bother like this, as soon as his words came out, he immediately made Zu Dashou feel a coldness from the soles of his feet to the heavenly spirit cover, and then exploded in the back of his head, and his neatly armored body trembled slightly.
The mocking words of the Governor of Jiliao and the mighty Duke of Langguo were heard by everyone clearly.
And everyone can see it clearly, this ancestral family head, the most powerful military officer in Liaodong today, is still afraid of the former Liaodong general soldier and the current governor of Jiliao.
"Get up," Wang Qi's gaze fell on Zu Dashou: "Let's talk about going to the city if you have something!" ”
"Thank you, sir!" Zu Dashou didn't dare to reach out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, so he got up slowly, and took two steps back to show respect.
Wang Qi's gaze swept over the others, and finally stopped at He Kegang: "Lord He, I heard that you stayed in Haizhou Wei at that time, which can be regarded as meritorious!" ”
During the Battle of Shenyang City, He Kegang did not go north with the army, but led more than 1,000 soldiers to stay in Haizhou Wei to transport heavy grain and straw He didn't expect the battle to be defeated in front of him, so he rushed north to meet the army, and after welcoming Zu Dashou and his group back, he directly led the troops across the Liao River and returned to Ningyuan City.
This battle can be regarded as an attack.
And the important thing is that he is a civilian official, Ren Ning is stationed in the Chinese army, and he has always been relied on by Yuan Chonghuan, and Zu Dashou is not a journey.
He Kegang was stunned at first in the face of Wang Qi's praise, and then his eyes lit up - the praise of the dignified Governor of Jiliao, this is a road to heaven beckoning!
"The general of the defeated army, how can he say his merits, the governor has shown his love, and the subordinate officials are worthy of it!" He Kegang took two steps forward and bowed deeply, already thinking about saddle up the horse and pulling the whip for the governor.
"Welcome to the Governor's capital!" Zu Dacheng on the side served as the head of the honor guard, and at this moment he stood on the side of the road and commanded the honor guard to follow Wang Qi into the city.
All the civil officials and subordinates stood by the roadside, waiting for Wang Qi to go first.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
"Liaodong has sent Yuan Chonghuan here!"
Everyone turned their heads to look, and in the distance, Yuan Chonghuan, who was dressed in a vermilion purple robe, galloped on his horse, and led dozens of his soldiers towards the city gate.
Sigh!!!
Dozens of steps away, Yuan Chonghuan turned over and dismounted, and ran towards Wang Qi, behind him, Cao Wenzhao followed closely.
"Your Majesty, the Governor! The war in Liaodong is full of twists and turns, and the governor is tired of going to Liao, and the crime of the lower officials deserves death, and there is no way to redeem it! ”
As Yuan Chonghuan knelt down, Cao Wenzhao behind him also bowed: "Cao Wenzhao greets the governor!" ”
Wang Qi arrived too quickly, and Yuan Chonghuan and the others had already passed Shanhaiguan when Ningyuan Sanwei received the news, so they came late.
After taking a deep look at Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Qi didn't say anything, grinned, and turned over directly on the horse: "It's all coming quickly, let's go to the city!" ”
Let's wait until we enter the city!
"The subordinate obeys!" Yuan Chonghuan got up, exhaled heavily, and before he had time to calm his breath, he stood in the line behind Wang Qi and followed him into the city.
As Wang Qi spoke, the entire guard of honor slowly entered Ningyuan City.
Zu Dacheng and Zu Dabi, who were standing on the side of the road, looked side by side, looking at the back of the governor of Jiliao in the distance.
Zu Dacheng and Zu Dabi could deeply feel the murderous intent hidden in Wang Qi this time, which was the anger of the war erosion, the abandonment of the city and the army, and the anger of the civil officials and generals who did not effectively implement the imperial plan.
The comer is not good!
The two glanced at each other, and they both knew that if the ancestral family didn't stand up and express their stance this time, I was afraid that they would not be able to be good.
Everyone knows that with the arrival of Wang Qi, the fate of everyone in the Liaodong War may have also reached a critical point.
In the hands of the Governor of Jiliao, the fate of life and death of everyone is in his hands.
Knock knock knock!!
In the city of Ningyuan, the drum of the generals sounded, and after a while, almost all the military generals above the sixth rank and the civil officials above the fifth rank in the entire Liaodong gathered at the temporary yamen of the governor.
Wang Qi had just entered the city and did not rest, so he began to worry about a group of officials above the sixth rank who survived the war in Liaodong.
"The lower official (the last general) meets the Governor!"
In the temporary palace, the front hall was not enough to stand everyone, except for the officials above the fourth rank, the rest of the people stood outside the door, waiting for Wang Qi's call.
Therefore, the entire front yard is also densely packed at the moment, kneeling full of guerrillas and generals at the time.
"How is Xiong Jingluo now?" Sitting in the hall, the first thing he said was not to ask about the crime, nor to ask about the history of the war in Liaodong, but to care about the Liaodong Jingluo that existed in name only.
"Back to the adult, Xiong Jingluo still can't get out of bed to watch things recently, and he is kept in Ningyuan City, before the lower official comes this time, Lord Xiong also asked the lower official to say hello to the adult on his behalf!" Yuan Chonghuan got up, stood in the hall, and bowed down to answer Wang Qi's question.
"Lord Xiong works hard for state affairs, and the emperor and the court also understand it, but this war is corrupt and must be held accountable," Wang Qi glanced at everyone: "The court decided that Xiong Tingbi would first cut off the authority of the economic strategy, and all other official titles, and send Jinyi Wei to send him back to Beijing to recuperate. ”
Just cut off the knighthood and official position??
Wang Qi's words made everyone present happy.
It seems that this time, the imperial court is also a bogey, afraid that if the people of Liaodong are forced too much and provoke a mutiny, the gains will outweigh the losses!
"The emperor is lenient, the governor is sympathetic to the officials, we thank the holy grace, thank the governor for the great grace!"
In the entire hall, Zu Dashou was the leader, and everyone worshipped.
Wang Qi waved his hand, still sitting firmly on the chair: "It doesn't have to be like this, everyone get up." ”
At this moment, the original thoughts of Zu Dashou and others have fallen.
Xiong Tingbi's culpability has been passed so easily, so everyone in the hall has also turned a big thing into a small thing, and a small thing has been turned into a small thing, and he will be punished with three cups!
After a while, the crowd was seated again.
"Wang Shouxin!" Wang Qi tapped his fingers on the chair.
Behind him, Wang Shouxin, the commander of the personal guard who had been standing with his sword, stepped forward, holding the governor's warrant, and said loudly: "According to the order of the governor, cut off the rank of the chief soldier of Ningyuan, Zu Dashou, and the other ancestors Dacheng, Zu Dabi and others are confined to the mansion, and they are not allowed to participate in confidential military affairs, and all the three-way troops of the ancestral family will be taken over by the governor's palace from now on!" Among them, the Left Route Army was immediately taken over by Cao Wenzhao, the Middle Route Army was under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Office, and the Right Route Army was under the jurisdiction of Lu Xiangsheng, deputy commander of Guangning! All the rest of the guerrillas, garrison generals, have been stripped of their official positions, returned home and are on standby, and their vacancies will belong, and they will all be appointed by their new commanders! ”
A letter of order, the hall is silent.
Zu Dashou stared at a pair of tiger eyes, only thinking that Wang Qi was crazy! Even Yuan Chonghuan on the side was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he almost didn't slide off the chair.
And Cao Wenzhao immediately straightened his waist, swept around with a pair of tiger eyes, and obviously began to observe the situation.
He Kegang's eyes were also condensed, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Zu Dashou beside him.
Now the entire Ningyuan City is full of people from the ancestral family, at this time, Wang Qi dared to directly cut the authority of Zu Dashou, and also took down all the original guerrillas and garrisons!
Isn't he afraid of mutiny?
As long as Zu Dashou walked out of this door and shouted, even though he Wang Qi was dignified, he was worth tens of thousands of knives and guns?
Even if it's the imperial court, it can't be so coercive, right?
