Outside Datong City, Wei Zheng and his entourage, who had carried a large amount of property, had just walked to the gate of the city, and dozens of civil and military officials led by the governor of Shanxi greeted them with a flattering smile on their faces.

At this time, the governor of Shanxi did not have the same arrogance as the prefect of Datong at the beginning, waiting for Wei Zheng to come and salute him. Instead, he took a group of subordinates behind him and walked directly to Wei Zheng, who had already dismounted, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully.

"Congratulations on your promotion to the third class, the chief soldier of Shanxi...... Welcome back to Datong Mansion ......"

Regardless of whether the other party is sincere or not, whether it is because of his identity as the chief soldier of Shanxi, or because of his identity as a third-class uncle, Wei Zheng accepted these compliments with peace of mind. Then, surrounded by these people, he returned to the Datong General Military Mansion with a smile.

No, at this moment, the Datong General Military Mansion has become the Shanxi General Military Mansion.

At the beginning of the court, Wei Zheng directly asked the imperial court to transfer the residence of Shanxi Datong Mansion to Datong on the grounds of 'defending Datong Mansion and eliminating bandits in Shanxi...'......

After Wei Zhenglong's Wei Zheng put forward this opinion in the court, no one dared to touch Wei Zheng's brow at this time. As a result, in the Ming Dynasty, for the first time, there was a phenomenon that the courtiers voted unanimously without any discussion.

So, Wei Zheng, who was supposed to go to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to take office, returned directly to Datong Mansion to take office.

After a day of bustle, the General Soldier's Mansion finally quieted down.

In particular, after a group of civil officials led by the governor of Shanxi left the General Military Mansion, the grand dinner ended directly under the order of Wei Zheng.

Not only that, but several hearts and abdomen were also under the orders of Wei Zheng. All converged in the most heavily guarded study room of the General Military Mansion.

Wei Zhenggang had just dragged his slightly tired body into the study. It was as if the subordinates had agreed on it. At the same time, he knelt on one leg and said loudly to Wei Zheng: "The last general congratulates the general on his promotion to the general army of Shanxi, a third-class uncle..."

Wei Zheng waved his hand, sat down on the main seat of the study, and said with a tired face: "Okay, we are all our own people, I won't say much about these compliments....The specific reason why I left everyone behind, I believe everyone should already be clear." The military advisor went to the capital with me. Let the military advisor inform you of some things that you don't know, so that you can be prepared. ”

Under everyone's gaze, on the surface, he has been promoted to Shanxi Xuanfu Envoy, but in fact he is Zhou Shuyuan, the military division of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Directly stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time in Beijing, in addition to the news that everyone knows now, the general was crowned a third-class uncle by the emperor and became the uncle of our Ming Dynasty, there are several very important news. ”

"So to speak. These pieces of news concern all of you..."

In just the blink of an eye, there were several other people in the study except Wei Zheng. He focused his eyes on Zhou Shuyuan, with a face full of expectations, waiting for Wei Zheng's next words.

Zhou Shuyuan didn't let everyone wait too long, and continued: "In the process of entering Beijing this time, at the repeated request of the general, the imperial court once again allowed our Haw Par Army to carry out a new round of expansion..."

"According to the requirements of the imperial court, after the expansion of our Tiger and Leopard Army is completed, the total strength will increase from the current 10,000 to 30,000. In other words, all the generals we are sitting here are going to be promoted..."

As soon as Zhou Shuyuan's words fell, Wang Feng, Zhao Yun, and Zhou Yuhong, who commanded the Tiger and Leopard Army, showed excited smiles from the bottom of their hearts.

At the same time, he focused his eyes on Wei Zheng and waited for Wei Zheng's approval.

Under the expectant gaze of the three pairs, Wei Zheng nodded directly in affirmation. Then, he ordered to everyone with a little stern: "What the military advisor said is true, according to the consistent way of expanding the army of our Tiger and Leopard Army, after the completion of this expansion, the strength under each of you will be expanded to 15,000 people..."

"That is to say, after the expansion is completed, the total strength of our Tiger and Par Army will become 45,000 people, and if you count the artillery and scouts, the total strength will exceed 50,000 without the slightest problem."

"50,000 elites, plus the first round of harvest in Tuntian, when the time comes, it will not be our Tiger and Leopard Army that will act in the eyes of the imperial court, but the imperial court will act in the eyes of us."

"Therefore, as long as the order of the General Military Office to expand the army is issued, you must make up for the shortfall in your troops in the shortest possible time. Then, in the shortest possible time, let the soldiers form combat effectiveness. ”

"However, I must remind everyone that the whole process of military expansion is definitely not as simple as everyone thinks. Let's not say that we don't have so many reservists to allow us to expand the army, let's just say that the most basic equipment needed for the expansion of the army, with the current production capacity of our artisan battalion, it is impossible to produce it for everyone in a short period of time..."

Although there are many problems faced by the Haw Par Army in its expansion, it is an unchangeable fact that the Haw Par Army is about to expand its army. Therefore, the excited and excited facial expressions on the faces of the three people, including Zhou Yuhong, did not change from beginning to end, and did not change at all because of Wei Zheng's reminder.

Compared with the excited expressions on the faces of the three of them, Zhang Wu and Wang Peng, who were allowed to participate in this kind of meeting for the first time, showed disappointed and calm facial expressions on their faces, respectively.

As a military general like Wang Feng and others, Zhang Wu is also eager to be promoted, rather than staying motionless in the position of deputy chief soldier of Datong all the time. Therefore, when he saw that Wang Feng and the others were promoted with Wei Zheng, a trace of disappointment appeared directly on his face. However, she didn't say much, after all, she really joined Wei Zheng later.

As for Wang Peng, who was sitting at the end, his face showed a calm expression.

Although he is also eager to be promoted, he sees it very clearly in his heart. You must know that more than a month ago, he was still a Qipin county commander who was about to be deposed, and if it weren't for the front Wei Zheng, he would not have become a Zhengwupin Tongzhi who governed hundreds of thousands of displaced people.

For these two talented people who dare to take the initiative to serve themselves, Wei Zheng will certainly not forget it.

Under Wei Zheng's signal, Zhou Shuyuan directly shifted his gaze to the two people and spoke.

"Next is General Zhang....At the general's repeated requests, the imperial court has promoted General Zhang to be the deputy commander-in-chief of Shanxi, and will continue to assist the general in commanding all the local garrisons in Shanxi...."

"According to the report of the Shanxi General Military Office at the Ministry of War, the total number of local garrisons in Shanxi is 55,000. However, in order to ensure the occurrence of large-scale banditry in Shanxi, local stability was ensured. The general allowed the local garrison in Shanxi to reach its full strength of 55,000 men, and at the same time secretly expand the army by another 45,000 men..."

"General, this is all true..."Zhang Wu asked rhetorically with a look of incredulity.

Wei Zheng nodded and affirmed: "It's all true, the remaining 45,000 garrisons are all incorporated into the army for training in the capacity of logistics miscellaneous and labor labor." As for their salaries, they are the same as those of other officers and men in the garrison...."

"In addition, the local garrison is not the Tiger and Leopard Army, and when the will of the imperial court arrives, you will immediately take my warrant and go to the garrison barracks in various parts of Shanxi to check the true situation of all the garrisons in Shanxi..."

"You should know my principles, plus we have the Holy Mandate to help, so in the process of inventory, we will shoot what should be done, and there must be no mercy. I will give you a month, and then give you another battalion of the elite of the Haw Par Army, and I must find out the real situation of all the garrisons in Shanxi, and then I can prescribe the right medicine. ”

"Please rest assured that the general will promise to live up to the general's high expectations and lead the Datong Mansion garrison ......" Facing Wei Zheng's longing gaze at him, Zhang Wu's heart immediately rose with the idea of a soldier dying for his confidant, and he assured Wei Zheng loudly.

Just when Wei Zheng nodded with a satisfied face, Wang Peng knew that it would be his turn next.

So, unconsciously, Wang Peng has straightened his body.

Sure enough, Zhou Shuyuan, who was smiling all over his face, had unconsciously shifted his gaze to himself.

Under Wang Peng's gaze, Zhou Shuyuan spoke: "Lord Wang, this time in Beijing, the general also brought you back good news. ”

Under the general's running and request, the imperial court agreed to transfer Li Wenxuan from the Datong prefect. And you, Wang Peng, directly took over as the prefect of Datong and were in charge of our Tuntian in Datong. ”

"Not only that, but at the repeated request of the general, several county towns that have been burned to ruins, such as Huairen and Shanyin, have also been incorporated into Datong Mansion and are under your jurisdiction."

"No accident, you take over the holy decree of the prefect of Datong, and you will be here in two days."

"So, hopefully you're prepared. When the time comes, it is necessary not only to manage Datong Mansion well, but also to manage the tuntian of Datong Mansion well. ”

Although he knew that he would be promoted, what Wang Peng didn't expect was that he was once again promoted from the Zhengwupin Tongzhi to the real power of the Zhengsipin Datong Prefect. It is safe to say that his promotion speed is definitely one of the best in the Ming Dynasty.

After taking a deep breath, Wei Zhengqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and promised loudly: "Please rest assured that the general will live up to the general's high expectations and be a good prefect ......of Datong."

At this time, Wei Zheng spoke again.

Not only that, but the smile on his face just now disappeared directly, and was covered by a heartfelt strictness.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it can be said that from now on, it is not only a new pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info for my Wei Zheng, but also a new pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info for everyone. As long as we make good use of this opportunity, what awaits us will definitely be soaring. ”

"Today's meeting is just to give you a bottom first, so that everyone knows in their hearts. As long as the imperial court's decree on everyone is issued, we will start to act..."

"Yes, General," several men replied aloud with expressions full of anticipation and excitement. (To be continued......)
