Chapter 205 Reward (Part 1)

Xiangyang Du Mansion

As soon as Zhu Xin entered, a man came over and shouted, "Mr. Zhu, the military has already discussed matters."

Zhu Xin stepped into the hall.

This hall is an ordinary two rooms, which can accommodate thirty people to discuss matters. There are blue bricks on the ground, and I saw seats on the upper and lower sides, and Du Gongzhen on it.

There are a row of lieutenants on the left and right, each sitting in a dignified manner.

Du Gongzhen looked a little older, with no expression on her face and deep eyes. She stared at Zhu Xin and said, "You are here, sit down!"

The place where he left was in a vacant seat on the left. Zhu Xin did not speak and sat down calmly, and then looked carefully.

Sitting on the lower head on the right is Du Gongzhen's nephew Du Ran.

Du Ran also turned his face, and the two looked at each other and avoided them.

When Du Ran wanted to plan a position, Zhu Xin made a conflict after several suggestions. But now, Zhu Xin is a seventh-rank civil servant and Du Ran is the commander of a guard in the army, the situation is different.

"Everyone!" Du Gongzhen straightened his back and said slowly: "I have received the order of the king to serve as the governor of Jiaozhou, continue to clean up the tribe and quell the civil strife."

At this time, everyone stood up and bowed and said, "Congratulations to the Grand Marshal!"

The governor of a state is the commander of a military region of a province. This is a military position of the third rank.

Du Gongzhen waved his hand, his voice with a tremolo of metal: "No need to congratulate first. Jiaozhou is a barren land. You have to take risks when you go. You are all old people who have been with me for decades. Whether you want to go or not can decide."

At this time, the guards and the captains present stood up: "The last general is willing to follow."

After hearing this, Du Gongzhen smiled: "Okay, I have been struggling for decades, and everyone is the one who rolls out with me, but there has never been any future. Sometimes I wander around at night, I feel ashamed!"

"Now the king handed over to us in Jiaozhou. The king said that the army can be expanded by 10,000 according to the system. This requires us to settle the sporadic barbarians in Jiaozhou and expand them."

"Pingman is a contribution. It can be promoted if the army is expanded. In the future, it will be another contribution to the rise of Jiaozhou and attack Jiangnan. This time you will fight for your anger together to fulfill me and yourself... This is our last contribution in the new dynasty."

Speaking of this, Du Gongzhen glanced at him and saw that most of the guards and captains were in their thirties and forties, and immediately tense their mouths.

The guards and the captains here understand this and their hearts are sank.

At that time, Wang Hongyi was indeed forced to surrender. At present, this king was quite tolerant of the surrendered soldiers and was at its peak, so he had a great chance to compete for the position of the Lord of the World.

But if they want to be surrendered, they are actually worried about the opportunity to win the wife and children.

Although it is difficult for Jiaozhou, as long as this time is successful, you can get rid of the army with the old coach in the future.

Judging from the current situation, the subsequent treatment can still be expected.

Just like what Lao Shuai said, this may be the last chance.

Du Gongzhen sighed again, pointed at Zhu Xin and said, "The King has promised me a county. Lord Zhu will be one of the prefects of the nine counties of Jiaozhou. Tell me about it."

"Yes!" Zhu Xin saluted first, then stood up and said to everyone: "I was originally a seventh-rank rank, recommended by Marshal Meng, and now I am a fifth-rank prefect. In addition to this expansion of the army, there is another capital in addition to the headquarters, so everyone can be promoted."

Speaking of this, my eyes turned cold and I looked at everyone.

"And this time I went to Jiaozhou, and there were people from the Thirteenth Division of the King. I was in Xiangyang, so I was summoned by the King and told me to him for a whole hour. There were a lot of words to me personally bring to the governor Zhong."

"I will handle the 200,000 taels of silver that the king directly allocated from the Ministry of Revenue. No matter what the yamen are concerned about, it will be deducted..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xin suddenly raised his voice: "Your Majesty treats you so well, do you know what this is? This has exhausted our previous affection and achievements. If we do things in a bad way, it is natural for the king to kill us. No one can complain about us. I can only prepare a coffin for everyone first!"

After saying that, he bowed and sat down, his expression calm as usual.

The hall was silent, so quiet that even a needle could be heard when it fell to the ground.

"Well, what Lord Zhu said just now is all what I want to say!" Du Gongzhen said quietly: "I have granted my wife and son, and given me a title and a landlord, but the fate is still sad. I have been beheaded and asked for crimes. They have all chosen together."

Speaking of this, everyone responded again and stood up one after another, and the sword suddenly jingled, responding: "Yes!"

July 28th. Panyu City

Panyu is an old city. It has been reclaimed for five hundred years. It is already a familiar land, so it is naturally not a place where plagues are rampant.

At this time, Ding Huchen knelt on the ground, waiting for the eunuch to announce the eunuch.

After listening to the order, Ding Huchen felt a little complicated.

The Privy Councilor was of the third rank and was the first official in charge of military affairs. He was transferred to be the Privy Councilor, which was obviously promoted, but compared with real power like the "Pingman General", the Privy Councilor could not directly control the army.

"General, please accept the order!" The eunuch who read the order saw that he was still stunned and couldn't help but remind him.

Ding Huchen then woke up and said hurriedly: "Minist Ding Huchen, accept the order!"

Respectfully accepted the will.

At this time, the eunuch removed the identity of an angel, immediately changed his smile and saluted Ding Huchen: "I have congratulated you. You are now the leader of the military general! It is not that the official flatters you in person. You will have the blessing of being a Duke and a Marquis in the future."

"It's really hard for you to come from afar. If you come, please take 500 taels of silver and bring it back!" Ding Huchen said with a smile.

After sending the eunuch downstairs to rest, he sat on the chair and thought about this matter silently.

After the initial surprise, he has now calmed down.

The King appointed Privy Councilor, which was a great grace and trust. Now that he was fighting for the world, he had already settled the mountains and captured Jiaozhou. If he continued, he would be very successful and shocked the Lord.

Even if the king would not have a grudge against him, his colleagues would inevitably be jealous.

Thinking of this, looking at the will in my hand, a faint smile appeared on my face.

"Come, call on officials from all the flags in the mountains to go to the conference hall to discuss matters!" Ding Huchen stood up and said to the outside and ordered.

The personal guard immediately went to pass the order, and he read the order again and headed towards the chamber.

"I've seen the general!" When I entered, the general of the three flags in the mountains was already waiting and immediately saluted.

Ding Huchen raised his hand and said, "Don't be too polite for everyone. Ding summons you here this time, which is a great thing. I want to announce it to you!"

When they heard this, the mountain tribes present looked at each other.

Looking at the faces in front of him with obvious excitement and suspicion, Ding Huchen did not hesitate and directly took out the order and read it in front of them.

When they heard the rewards given to them, the people of the mountain present cheered and thanked them.

"Your reward is not only in this decree, but also in a special decree. This requires you to take your headquarters to Xiangyang, so there will naturally be rewards."

"Since the decree has been completed, you will set off tomorrow and go to Xiangyang!"

"Yes, General!" The generals of the Three Banners were a little excited. They had secretly realized that they were finally going to give rewards.

These titles are not low, and they are rewarded with large areas of land, houses and gold and silver. They were also resentful of the continuous battles and countless casualties, but now this makes their hearts fall to the ground.

Ding Huchen looked at their happy expressions and sighed in his heart.

Such a result and such reward may not be a good thing for these people.

Zhong Wendao was not in the city at this time. He arrived tomorrow and had to read it out again. The eunuch would also give him official robe and seal. From now on, Zhong Wendao will be the chief official of Jiaozhou.

Zhong Wendao and Du Gongzhen are both surrendered ministers and generals. Now two are promoted, one is the governor of Jiaozhou and the other is the governor of Jiaozhou. They can cooperate in governing Jiaozhou, and they are even more interested in allowing these two to supervise each other.

With these two people's backgrounds and personalities, it is impossible to form an alliance.

Such an arrangement does not waste talents and can also restrain each other. Of course, the biggest function is to set an example, and then there will naturally be a large number of surrendered ministers and generals.

Seeing that the generals of the Three Banners withdrew, Ding Huchen ordered again: "Let Zhang Guangzu come in."

After a moment, Zhang Guangzu came in. This was Ding Huchen's most capable confidant. He was in his thirties and was calm and dignified. After coming in, he gave a mercy and a neat manner.

"The decree has been issued. I will serve as Privy Councilor. You will also be promoted to the next level. You will serve as the deputy governor of Jiaozhou. There are three capitals in Jiaozhou. You still control one of them." Seeing that he was going to congratulate him, Ding Huchen waved his hand and asked him to continue listening.

"I have taken ten thousand, and the flag soldiers I have taken away, and the personal soldiers of the guards I have taken away, you are the only one left in Jiaozhou. You must seize this."

"Du Gong, the governor of Jiaozhou, is really a veteran. He has his own strategy. You must not disobey his orders unless there is a special situation - then immediately report to the king, the court, and to me."

"In addition, Zhong Wendao is the governor of Jiaozhou, and he is the first chief official of Jiaozhou. You have to obey his orders - do you understand what does it mean?"

Zhang Guangzu did not hesitate at all: "I will understand."

Jiaozhou Governor Zhong Wendao, Jiaozhou Governor Du Gongzhen, and Jiaozhou Governor Zhang Guangzu, this is a balanced situation.

At present, it seems that the governor of Jiaozhou Zhong Wendao is the weakest, but Wang Hongyi is full of confidence in him. This person originally had a great foundation in Hanzhong. Only by having a deep foundation can he be extraordinary. As long as he gives some time, he will naturally be able to stand firm.

Although Ding Huchen did not understand this, it did not hinder his vision: "Also, things in Jiaozhou may not be so simple. You have to practice well. Maybe you will have a chance to attack Jiangnan tomorrow."

Zhang Guangzu bowed again: "I will understand it in the end."

Ding Huchen told him to go down, and the hall became quiet. Suddenly, Ding Huchen remembered the past.

The old general was sick at that time. Although he was known as the governor, he had only one county. Each general had his own doors and had a group of confidants. Even the old general could not control him.

The young master ascended the throne, and this hidden worry has always existed in his heart, just thinking that he would have to fight for the old coach.

I don’t want to have a eleventh year to the seventeenth year of Chuizheng. In six years, the young master subdued all the generals, swept Shu outside, and then ruled Jingzhou. Now he has the three major prefectures, Shu, Jing and Jie, and his subordinates are gradually enriched, and the whole country is united and assisted together. He is really mixed with emotion.
