Boom! Boom! Boom!

When the Siping Fort bell rang, there was silence in the General Military Office.

Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi are still sitting upright.

The personal guards and attachés were all sent to the outer hall, and no one knew what they were talking about.

"This time, the walls inside and outside Siping Fort were seriously damaged. It was necessary to recruit new soldiers and civilians from the guard station for repairs. The money, food and corvee work required. The Shandong governor must have shied away because he had no money left. This matter will have to be dealt with after Mr. Wang comes to Beijing.

Please work hard." Xiong Tingbi talked about trivial matters in a nonchalant manner.

When did the repair of the Siping Fort walls, the recruitment of troops stationed at the garrison, and the labor of the common people have to be taken care of by the dignified Prime Minister himself?

Do you want Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, to worry about this matter when he goes to court?

The Shandong Chief Secretary's Yamen thinks that he doesn't die quickly enough, so he dares to drag away Liaodong's civil affairs money?

In Wang Huazhen's view, Xiong Tingbi just had nothing to say and wanted to make him admit defeat.

Wang Huazhen frowned, looked at Xiong Tingbi who was resting, and said impatiently: "Xiong Jinglue, you have jurisdiction over Shandong, Liaodong, Liaonan, Jizhou and other places. For such a small matter, such as a seal letter, you have to bother all the ministers in the cabinet.

?"

"A small thing?" Xiong Tingbi chuckled: "Before today, I was able to mobilize all the troops north of Shanhaiguan, and the letter could not cross the Liaohe River. Governor Wang has the final say all over Liaodong.

In such a restrictive situation, it is better for me to return to my hometown and farm."

"The disputes in the court are left in Liaodong, hey," Xiong Tingbi knocked the tea cup heavily on the table and said in a mocking tone: "It's really clear!"

"This is not something you and I can discuss at will. How about we not talk about court affairs today?" Wang Huazhen leaned back on the chair and tapped the armrest with one hand, as if thinking about something.

Originally, no one could question his role in the Siping War, but Sun Degong's rebellion directly knocked Wang Huazhen from the clouds to the bottom. The Donglin Party is not a dominant force, and the imperial court will not let a person who reuses a rebel general continue to work.

Taking charge of Liaodong.

But before leaving, Wang Huazhen must pave the way for his nephew.

And Liaodong Economic Strategy Xiong Tingbi is a good target.

"What are we talking about?" Xiong Tingbi took the initiative and was not in a hurry.

"My nephew," Wang Huazhen said with a hint of curvature at the corner of his mouth: "What do Xiong Jingxue think?"

In fact, Wang Huazhen proposed to Ye Xianggao a month ago and wanted to marry into the Ye family and let Wang Qi marry Ye Xianggao's granddaughter. However, Ye Xianggao refused at that time because his granddaughter was younger. After all, who wants to marry his granddaughter?

How about giving it to a small official of hundreds of households? Even though my uncle is the governor of Liaodong, he can only be called a dandy yamen. In the eyes of a high-ranking man, it is not considered rich... But as an apology, Ye Xianggao

She still offered to find a job for Wang Qi in the capital, so Wang Huazhen asked Wang Qi to bring a letter back to Beijing to find Ye Xianggao.

But today is different from the past. Wang Qi made such a great contribution in Siping. He personally led more than a thousand cavalry to Zhenwu Fort. When he was ambushed by the Jianzhou army, he immediately beheaded the rebel general Sun Degong. He also led his army to kill the Jianzhou Sibeile Huang Taiji Army Banner.

Huang, before the battle, killed more than 300 Manchurian cavalry, confiscated war horses, and countless weapons. Later, he led his army back to Siping to aid Siping, and went straight to the Chinese army camp in front of Jianzhou, forcing Nurhaci to personally order the withdrawal. This battle

Become famous, not only achieve yourself, but also achieve the first victory in the Battle of Jianzhou in decades!

Such a great victory was enough for Emperor Tianqi to move to the Ancestral Temple to comfort his ancestors.

I wonder how Ye Xianggao would feel after receiving the news of the Liaodong victory? Is it excitement or regret? Maybe he will also regret it. After all, having such a talented grandson-in-law will be a huge help to the Donglin Party.

Wang Huazhen is looking forward to the expression of the chief minister of the cabinet when she sees Ye Xianggao.

"Your nephew is really good," Xiong Tingbi nodded. If Wang Qi were not Wang Huazhen's nephew, Xiong Tingbi's love for talents would be burning brightly and he would want to accept Wang Qi as his adopted son.

"I will return to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit in the near future. I will fight for more money, food and time for Liaodong in the court. By then, your position as Lord Xiong in Liaodong will be more and more stable. As for the relationship between the Chu Party and Donglin, I will also do my best in the middle.

Through mediation, you no longer need to be constrained as you were before, and can fully implement your plan to pacify Liao." When Wang Huazhen spoke, he was very careful about every word.

"You want to exchange this for my taking care of Wang Qi?" Xiong Tingbi asked back.

"Master Xiong should understand that he wants to find a future for his children in the family," Wang Huazhen admitted frankly.

"Master Wang, you underestimate your nephew too much," Xiong Tingbi said. The scene when he saw Wang Qi outside the city once again appeared in front of his eyes. That kind of overwhelming power cannot be imitated by a playboy, nor can it be achieved in a battle.

The momentum that a famous young general can exude, as well as those eyes, are clearly deep and penetrating, accumulated over many years.

"There is no need for me to take care of him. In ten years, Liaodong will not be able to accommodate him." Xiong Tingbi leaned on his chair and looked at Wang Huazhen with a somewhat sincere tone: "If you, Governor Wang, don't mind, there are people of similar age in my clan.

Woman, marry your nephew."

Poof!!!

The tea that Wang Huazhen had just taken into her mouth spurted out instantly. She turned to look at Xiong Tingbi, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Haha, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously," Xiong Tingbi seemed to have seen the incredible look in Wang Huazhen's eyes, waving his hands and treating it as a joke.

After a long while, Xiong Tingbi continued: "But you can rest assured, the dispute between us is a court matter and will not affect Wang Qi's status in Liaodong. I, Xiong Tingbi, ask myself, I still have some tolerance for this."

"For your words, Brother Feibai, I would like to express my thanks!" Wang Huazhen wiped her mouth and sincerely thanked her.

"However," Xiong Tingbi flicked his cuffs and asked casually: "After you leave, do you think the imperial court will send people to patrol Liaodong?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere that had just relaxed suddenly turned cold again.

"Based on my understanding of Ye Xianggao and Han Xu, the imperial court will definitely choose another person to patrol Liaodong," Wang Huazhen pondered for a moment and added: "But there are not many suitable candidates now."

"Huh?" Xiong Tingbi said softly: "How do you say this?"

"Now that the eunuch party is gradually getting stronger, Donglin still needs to check and balance other factions. The manpower in the court is insufficient. Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhao Nanxing, and Gao Panlong are all public officials and are not good at military affairs, so this person

," Wang Huazhen pursed her lips and said in a deep voice: "It must come from Liaodong."

"It's clear," Xiong Tingbi reached out and stroked his beard, silently repeating: "It's clear..."
