"What's wrong?" Zhou Shixiong asked with wrinkles, not expecting Wan Qi'an to complain about his division of labor.
"I still like the life in the army. I feel uncomfortable staying in the mountain village." Wan Qian is also a figure who has been the commander of the army. It was okay to hide for a period of time to avoid the limelight. If he lives an ordinary life hiding in the mountains and forests for a long time, It¡¯s really uncomfortable.
"Okay, I will arrange a new assignment for you when Cheng Peng comes back to Heping Mansion." Zhou Shixiong also felt that there were not enough military talents around him, and there were not many people like Guan Chongguang who took charge of his own role. As for people like Ou Boda and Fan Huisheng who have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, Zhou Shixiong is not that big-hearted yet to completely trust them.
"By the way, how is Zheng Yiguan doing now?" Zhou Shixiong brought Zheng Yiguan and Ou Boda to Lang Son City and handed them over to Masan for temporary house arrest. Now I finally have time to pay attention to the former head of Heping Mansion.
"To tell you the truth, Zheng Yiguan and Ou Boda visited Lang Son City every day and did not do anything extraordinary." Ma San's intelligence network was finally established after Zhou Shixiong shifted his development focus. Is there any trouble in Lang Son and Thang Long Prefectures? Can't hide it from him. Zhou Shixiong couldn't help but think of Hu Guangli, the guy in charge of the Ming Dynasty's intelligence network, and wondered whether Pingxiangzhou's loss of power had a big impact on him.
"Ma San, send a message to the craftsman camp and ask the Iron Master to build three thousand swords. In addition, the manufacturing of chariots cannot be stopped." The effectiveness of the chariots is beyond imagination. Only a few hundred chariots can force Taiyuan Prefecture to avoid it. It would be strange for Zhou Shixiong not to vigorously develop tanks.
"Everyone, after Cheng Peng returns, I will personally go to Heping Mansion to take charge, and Lang Son Mansion will be in charge of the princess. Jishi, Ma San, and Gao Fu will assist the princess." After thinking about it, Zhou Shixiong could only push Li Jie away. When he came to preside over Lang Son Palace, other people's status and reputation were not enough, so he had no choice.
"Yes." It is said that the princess Li Jie is in charge, but in fact, Li Fusheng, Ma San, and Gao Fu must be responsible for the work. Ma San and Gao Fu stood beside Li Fusheng very wisely and bowed to Zhou Shixiong to take orders.
Half a month later, Guan Chongguang returned to Lang Son City before the official road was opened, and reached an agreement with Taiyuan Prefecture. Not only would he regain control of Ping Prefecture, but he would also bring back more than 200,000 taels of silver in compensation. "Why is it so small, and half of it is copper ingots?" Zhou Shixiong greeted Guan Chongguang and the triumphant army outside the city gate, and was very dissatisfied with the amount of loot plundered.
"Sir, silver is only used for transactions between wealthy merchants. Copper coins are normal currency. I spent a lot of effort to dig out so many copper ingots, and you still dislike it!" Guan Chongguang really couldn't communicate with Zhou Shixiong. This gentleman The living space is different from that of ordinary people.
"Oh, it turns out you changed it to copper ingots on purpose. I understand." Zhou Shixiong was embarrassed to admit that he didn't understand the sufferings of the people, so he had to make fun of it.
"Sir, when will we take back Heping Mansion? I'm afraid there may be trouble if it takes too long." Fan Gandi had a very good attitude and actively cooperated with the work of Lang Son Mansion. He sent Fan Xitong to follow Guan Chongguang to take charge of the handover.
"Let the soldiers rest for a few days first, and then go after arranging things for Lang Son Mansion." Zhou Shixiong also wanted to take back Heping Mansion immediately, but he still had a few things to do, such as the road connection and the opening ceremony of the new city, which required him Going to show your face is a kind of recognition for the men responsible for the two projects. It is not appropriate for others to go.
Three days later, Zhou Shixiong presided over the opening ceremony of the new road outside the south gate of Lang Son City, and then went to Dinh Lic City non-stop to cut the ribbon again, which took nearly ten days. On New Year's Eve, Zhou Shixiong led 300 chariots and 5,000 infantry to Heping Palace, accompanied by Guan Chongguang, Zheng Yiguan, Ou Boda, Yu Jiaao, Zhu Ying and others, and the new head of Lang Son Palace, Li Jie, followed him. OK.
"Ms. sir, Mr. Li and my godmother are here to help take care of everything in Lang Son Mansion. Don't be careful about the newly arrived place in Heping Mansion." Li Jie knew that she could contribute to her husband. Not to mention how happy she was, Mo Lan , Mo Zhu, Shang Yueqing, Li Zhen and the four girls looked sad because they were not able to join the entourage list and could only watch Zhu Ying show off next to Zhou Shixiong with a smug look on his face.
"Ladies, don't worry, it's for your husband's sake." Zhou Shixiong had to travel far away not long after he came back. He felt sorry for his lovely wives, but Heping Mansion was too chaotic, how could he dare to bring these delicate beauties there? I can only pretend not to see it.
"My husband will leave early and come back early." The girls are all sensible people. No matter how reluctant they are, they know it is their husband's fault. Along with Li Jie, they toast Zhou Shixiong and send a few auspicious words.
The army left Lang Son City and passed through Beijiang Mansion without any hindrance. Although Zheng Lisheng did not come out to meet him, his attitude was very clear. You are my ally. You can take advantage of it as you like. Zheng Lisheng changed his attitude towards Lang Son Prefecture, and also thanked Taiyuan Prefecture for betraying the alliance, which caused Zheng Lisheng to lose one of his most important allies. Zheng Lisheng couldn't help but seize Lang Son Prefecture.
Hexi Prefecture did not create any trouble for the Lang Son Army. It had just experienced a catastrophe. The ownership of Hexi Prefecture had not yet been determined, and no one dared to do so.This time causes trouble. When Zhou Shixiong came to Chunmei City again, it was not Fan Gandhi's troops who greeted Zhou Shixiong, but the navy troops who had stayed in Heping Mansion to temporarily manage public security. Lan Jinshui led two thousand naval troops to garrison Chunmei City to resist the Taiyuan Prefecture soldiers.
"What's going on?" Seeing the ragged Lan Jinshui, Zhou Shixiong frowned. He regretted the peace talks with Van Gandhi, and now he could not seek justice for the navy.
"Some time ago, Taiyuan Mansion suddenly sent someone to take over Heping Mansion. I didn't see your Lord's orders and naturally refused. Later, when I saw that there were so many people in Taiyuan Mansion, I couldn't resist it and had to retreat to Chunmei City to wait for you. Rescue." Lan Jinshui briefly talked about what happened after they left, while Fan Xitong looked ugly. He was not uncomfortable because Taiyuan Prefecture soldiers occupied Heping City, but he was angry because Taiyuan Prefecture soldiers were unable to control Heping Prefecture.
Zhou Shixiong didn't think much about it, and waved his hand and said, "Follow me to Heping City." The navy troops suddenly accepted the order. Although the sailors were wearing rags and cannons, their morale was not reduced at all. Zhou Shixiong glanced at Lan Jinshui in surprise, not expecting that there was a general of this level around him.
Guan Chongguang was also surprised. He originally recommended Lan Jinshui to Zhou Shixiong as a personal soldier, mainly because of his water skills. He didn't expect that Lan Jinshui, who didn't like to talk much, would have such talent. Ancient wars placed great importance on morale. When a group of elites who are unwilling to fight meet a group of peasants and soldiers who work together, the outcome of the battle may not be that the elites will win. Blue Gold Water can still keep the fighting spirit of his soldiers in such a bad situation, which is beyond the level of ordinary generals.
With the addition of these two thousand naval troops, the Lang Son Army formed an army of 800,000 people and stormed to the gates of Heping City. In fact, Taiyuan Prefecture has already bowed its head. Even if the Lang Son Army came to Hauping Prefecture in despair, Van Gandhi would not dare not hand over control. The Lang Son Army was just trying to save face for their navy brothers. They could defend a city with only two thousand troops, so the army brothers couldn't afford to lose their weight.
The person responsible for guarding Heping City was Fan Huisheng's younger brother Fan Huiguang. He did not know about his brother's surrender to Lang Son Palace. Seeing a Lang Son army approaching the city, they quickly issued a warning signal and prepared to engage in battle. Zhou Shixiong ignored this and winked at Fan Xitong. Fan Xitong rode down listlessly and shot Fan Gandhi's autographed letter towards the city.
Fan Huiguang was able to gain Fan Gandhi's trust and lead an army to defend the enclave. His loyalty was enough. He received Fan Gandhi's personal order and saw the official document brought by Fan Xitong, so he simply opened the city gate. , to welcome the Lang Son Army into the city. It wasn't that Fan Huiguang didn't want to fight, but he was very afraid of the hundreds of giant tanks of the Lang Son Army. Such terrifying monsters that he had never seen before were too shocking to Buddhists.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Shixiong was very happy to hold a grand banquet to celebrate Ji's official entry into Heping Mansion. "Sir Yi Guan, I intend to leave the civil affairs affairs to you, what do you think of this?" After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Shixiong threw a bomb, which blew up Zheng Yi Guan's soul.
"How can I be so old and virtuous enough to take on this important task? I would like to ask Mr. Ji to choose another talented person." Zheng Yiguang refused without thinking, and Zhou Shixiong's face changed slightly. He was not doing any testing, but really wanted Zheng Yiguan to serve as a civil affairs official.
"Who among you here is more familiar with the Heping Mansion than Mr. Yi Guan? No, I believe that the post of Civil Affairs Officer belongs to Mr. Yi Guang. I hope Mr. Yi Guang will not refuse." When Zhou Shixiong said this, his face was already ugly. If Zheng If you continue to refuse, it's hard to say what this small-minded person will do.
"This" Zheng Yiguan was about to refuse, but his foot was kicked. Zheng Yiguan glanced sideways at Guan Zhongguang, who was sitting next to him. Seeing him nodding slightly, he had to smile bitterly and said, "Since Mr. Ji values ????the old man so much, the old man Try your best.¡±
Once the civil affairs officials are established, of course the military chiefs must also be announced. Zhou Shixiong raised his glass and signaled to Guan Chongguang, "Cheng Peng, I leave the military affairs of Heping Mansion to you."
"I am deeply afraid, I will definitely live up to my command!" Guan Chongguang knew that Zhou Shixiong didn't like to do tricks of asking three times and resigning three times, so he stood up and raised a glass in return and accepted the job.
"Commander Yu, I will leave the Chariot Battalion to you. I hope Commander Yu can make new achievements." Because of the Battle of Taiyuan Prefecture, Yu Jiao was promoted several levels in a row and jumped from the camp manager of the first battalion to the commander of the first prefecture. He was Zhou Shixiong's personal subordinate. The highest ranking person in the army.
"I'll take your orders." Yu Jia'ao stood up and gave a military salute without saying any nonsense.
"Zhu Ying, the job of the auxiliary barracks must be yours, so you have confidence." Zhou Shixiong brought Zhu Ying to Heping Mansion, which made all the wives and concubines feel deeply unfair. Of course, Alexander's Zhu Ying must behave well and not let the sisters find excuses. Get her back. "Sign up and take orders."
"Admiral Lan, I feel relieved to have the naval force entrusted to you. I hope to keep up the good work." Lan Jinshui's performance was so good that of course he needed to be promoted. Zhou Shixiong created the admiral title reserved for foreign navies and gave it to Lan Jinshui.
