"I haven't seen you for a few months, and I didn't think that the East Road has changed so much......"

The flag guard of honor of Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, walked mightily, and in the bridge, Chen Xinjia, who looked elegant, stroked his beard thoughtfully. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Behind him is the chariot and horse honor guard of Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanfu Town, and then the military horses of Hu Dawei, the chief military officer of Shanxi Town, Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong Town, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, and Zhang Guowei, the deputy chief soldier.

Looking at the scenery on the side of the road, the sound of envy kept ringing. Compared with the places in Xuanda, where the streets are full of displaced people and beggars, the situation on the East Road is in stark contrast to them.

There are no homeless people and beggars here, it seems that all of them are contained and managed, and one after another cantonment forts are rising from the ground, and construction is being carried out everywhere, and busy people can be seen everywhere.

Those people, under the leadership of the officials, were busy building barracks, repairing roads, cultivating farmland, and building water conservancy. Although many people are still in rags, they have smiles on their faces and are full of hope for the future, which is very different from the numbness of the military households and ordinary people everywhere in Xuanda.

Perennial disasters, under the chaos of soldiers and horses, many places in the Ming Dynasty do not say that there are no people for thousands of miles, and it is normal for hundreds of miles to be uninhabited, and the prosperous towns in the past are abandoned. But the east road is different, it seems to be a seam, as long as it is suitable for survival and cultivation, all kinds of houses will rise from the ground, forming a large and small tunbao.

The construction of Tunpu requires a large amount of wood and stone, and a large amount of goods. Around these tunpu, all kinds of shops and workshops are also being built, busy are busy with merchants transporting grain and goods, it is conceivable that these places will form prosperous villages and towns in the future.

Lumbermills, quarries, and various factories and mines were also everywhere, and merchants and gentry could be seen everywhere. It seems that overnight, the entire East Road has entered a wave of large-scale construction. Coupled with the large number of people gathered, businessmen came and went, one word: "Prosperity!" Two words: "Popularity!" ”

The bustling scene can predict the future prosperity of East Road.

Chen Xinjia once heard that after Wang Dou took office, he shouted the slogan of turning Donglu into a paradise within a few years, and he scoffed at it, but now it seems that Wang Dou is definitely not talking big.

"Brave in battle, outstanding in military governance, and equally outstanding in governance, this Wang Dou is really an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, but the Ming Dynasty has generals like this, it is a curse and a blessing......"

Along the way, Chen Xinjia had a complicated mind, and Wang Dou's domineering made him more and more dissatisfied, but his talent was what he needed. Xuanfu Town East Road is under the jurisdiction of the Xuanda Governor's Office, although Chen Xinjia will enter the cabinet soon, but the future achievements of the East Road will naturally be counted on his head.

That is, when he enters the cabinet in the future, with a strong army and a strong government like Wang Dou and strong local support, he can add points to himself and stand more firmly in the cabinet.

"Brother Wang, needless to say, the war is very powerful, this person who is in charge of the people and the army, tsk......"

Chen Xinjia and Ji Shiwei were behind the carriage and horse, and the burly generals with helmets and armor and horses were Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Pu and others who came to observe the three towns of Xuanda.

In the war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, not long after arriving in Gaoyang, Wang Pu led the army to return to Datong. Although it was later proved that the Qing soldiers harassed Shanxi purely oolong, Wang Pu was also reluctant to fight again in Datong. After returning to Datong, he heard that Lu Xiangsheng was killed in battle, and Wang Pu also wore linen and filial piety, and cried for several days to express his condolences, which won praise from all over Datong Town.

At the beginning of this year, the imperial court rewarded meritorious deeds, and Wang Pu was promoted to the governor of Tongzhi, and he still served as the chief military officer of Datong Town. Wang Pu expressed satisfaction with this result.

Of course, to Shangguan as the right governor, the tiger of the first son of the world brocade clothes and hundreds of households. Even the official title of Zuo Dudu, Doctor Ronglu, and Yang Guozhu, who is a son of the world, and Yang Guozhu, who has a thousand households, Wang Pu's psychology is a little unbalanced. Wang Pu can be said to remember Wang Dou vividly, although he returned to Datong, he also paid close attention to a series of actions of Xuan Dajun.

The bloody battle of the giant deer made Wang Pu smack his tongue, and he was secretly glad that he returned to Datong early. In the battle of Zhuozhou afterwards, the Xuan army won a great victory, and the gains were rich, which made Wang Pu annoyed, and he did not participate in this war, which was really a loss.

However, after a little inquiry, he found that he was not the only one who had this idea, Shanxi town officials, Xuanfu town officials, and even news that many general officers and generals in Liaodong were interested in coming to the East Road to observe. Although he is secretly jealous of Wang Dou's reputation, this is a great opportunity for Wang Pu, a sociable person.

After he finished admiring, he flicked a few beautiful feathers on his helmet in a chic manner, and said to Yang Guozhu beside him and smiled: "Brother Yang is so blessed, there are generals like General Wang under his command, come to Ridong Road to govern it, this, tsk......tsk",

In his tone, Wang Pu was not without jealousy.

Yang Guozhu smiled slightly at Wang Pu's words, in the past, like Hu Dawei, he looked down on Wang Pu, a gentleman who bought an official position with money. However, after last year's battle, the two sides also fought side by side, forming a friendship of comrades-in-arms, and in his expression and demeanor, Yang Guozhu was much gentler towards Wang Pu.

There will be such a general in the town, of course Yang Guozhu has a light on his face, Wang Dou has merit, and he will share a part of the profit to himself in the future, from this point of view, the more outstanding Wang Dou is, the more benefits Yang Guozhu will get from it.

But even so, Wang Dou is becoming more and more dazzling, and his means are also very outstanding, can he hide this hidden dragon in this place on Ridong Road?

After the war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou, who was still a guerrilla general that day, had surpassed his own general in military strength. Now that he has been promoted to a sub-guard general, he doesn't know how far his strength will swell in the future.

There is only one general Zhenshuo, one day in the future, Wang Dou takes a fancy to his position, what should he do?

is related to his own status and power, that is, no matter how much Yang Guozhu appreciates Wang Dou, a subordinate, he can't help but turn his mind differently.

Yang Guozhu is old in the army, and he may not care about the civil affairs of the East Road, but he can see the whole leopard at a glance. In terms of the establishment of tunbao in various places on the East Road, this kind of large-scale civil administration is a chaos in other places, but it is well organized here.

I heard that the main military strength of Wang Dou's troops is these Tuntian soldiers, and there are hundreds of thousands of new entrances on the east road, and there are more than 100,000 young and strong......

Yang Guozhu has a conjecture in his heart that it has always been inconvenient to declare, one day, will Wang Dou train all these young men into soldiers, if there are 100,000 soldiers in a single guard, what a terrible thing it is.

Guo Yingxian, the general of the Chinese army behind him, laughed heartlessly with Hu Dawei's personal general Hu Zichen, and said that after arriving in Yongning City, he would definitely drink 300 cups with General Wang, and he would rest as soon as he got drunk.

However, as far as his eyes could see, Yang Guozhu also saw Hu Dawei beside him looking at the busy crowd on the side of the road thoughtfully.

Most of those people are young and strong, all in ten, hundred, and thousand, and they are busy under the leadership of one steward, division of labor and cooperation, and they are calm, just like an army......

……

"If Zhang Junmen hadn't been operating on the East Road for a long time, would the East Road have the current prosperity? That Wang Dou just took advantage. ”

Behind Yang Guozhu and several general soldiers were Zhang Guowei, deputy chief soldiers of Xuanfu Town, and his party. Zhang Guowei is as his name suggests, quite majestic in his gestures, arrogant and introverted. He is less than fifty years old, which is the golden age of a man with a successful career, and he is full of style.

He was not wearing armor, but he was wearing the official uniform of a commander, and the official robe of the second rank was bright red and crimson, and the lion's complement was painted on it.

The one who rode the horse to the right of Zhang Guowei was Li Jianming, a guerrilla general in Zhenchengyuan, who had fought with Yang Guozhu and Wang Dou had seen. At the beginning of the year, the imperial court rewarded meritorious deeds, and Li Jianming was also promoted to a general. He was already obese, but after returning to Zhencheng for a few months, his belly was bigger and his double chin was more pronounced.

He was not wearing an official robe, but still dressed in armor, wearing a round neck and a large placket and tin armor, and a phoenix-winged gun helmet, swelling a fat body tightly.

To the left of Zhang Guowei, the former guerrilla general Wen Hui, after he led 2,000 soldiers and horses to help, he was promoted to general afterwards. However, they are a battalion and general, and they have less than 3,000 soldiers under their names, but they are not as nourishing as Wang Dou's local guards.

Wen Hui was already thin, but after returning to the town, he lost a lot of weight, and he was wearing a helmet with a water-mill chain neck guard, which seemed to be a little empty inside.

He was on a white warhorse, and it was he who spoke.

Behind the three of them, riding the horse was Zhang Guowei's personal general Zhang Xinjing, a descendant of his own family. The Zhang family is a generation: the heart of the heavens and all the countries is smooth, and the article is lucky. Zhang Guowei's sons and nephews are all heart-to-heart generations.

Zhang Xinjing is less than thirty, but he is also a fat man, and he is full of anticipation. Dressed in armor, he sat on his horse and looked at the surroundings, his eyes showing greed, longing, and resentment. If you don't see his eyes, you will never be able to think of a pair of human eyes that can express so many meanings at the same time.

After listening to Wen Hui's words, Zhang Guowei said slowly: "Although the East Road has been governed by this military gate, it is undeniable that Wang Dou also has some talents, and the East Road is now prosperous, and he has also contributed. It is a pity that he is young and vigorous, and he is not thoughtful, and he is an appropriate candidate for the old man to seek the country, and he is the right person to shepherd the East Road, which is the most, but it is a pity. ”

After listening to Zhang Guowei's words, Li Jianming and Wen Hui were even more jealous.

Originally, the two were not convinced by Wang Dou. The more famous Wang Dou became, the more meritorious he became, and the more jealous and hateful the two became.

In fact, Zhang Guowei knew that Li Jianming and Wen Hui had both coveted the position of general of the East Road Division, and the hereditary officers of the Xuanfu Town Guard Station of the two families could start from commanding the affairs of the guards as soon as they were born, and they would struggle for many years less than an ordinary guard guard.

Their family has been in Xuanfu Town for hundreds of years, and this force is intertwined and deep-rooted.

Originally, the two wanted to use their qualifications to compete for the position of the general of the East Road, but they were unexpectedly taken away by Wang Dou, how could they not make the two of them full of resentment towards Wang Dou?

After Zhang Guowei arrived in the town, he vigorously wooed the two, and naturally knew the two of them.

A little provocative between words can be effective.

He planned on his horse, his eyes swept the surrounding scenery from time to time, the current situation on the east road, and the people everywhere in the past, lifeless, really like two worlds. Imagining the wealth after the East Road, coupled with Wang Dou's arrogance and rudeness to himself, the family worked the East Road for many years, and was swept away by him.

No matter how good the East Road is in the future, it has nothing to do with him, Zhang Guowei is quiet on the surface, but he is angry in his heart.
