Nanming Engineer

Chapter 149
"In a few days, when everything is ready, I will call all the chiefs and senior officials to announce your appointment in public. Town generals and the court will also receive letters and reports from the old man. The court will definitely not have anything. The problem is that the king of Lu has already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the king of Lu is in Shaoxing and supervises the country, and still uses the name of Hongguang. Two supervisors? The king of Tang and the king of Lu must have a fight, the court is getting more and more lively, I don't know what kind of chaos it will turn into."

Qin Liangyu smiled helplessly, full of disappointment towards the Southern Ming Dynasty. Most of the country has been lost, but Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants are still busy fighting for the throne. They don't know how long the throne can be held. Being a political envoy is almost the same, what's the point of being such an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang knows the secret, and he will definitely be enraged.

"However, in such a chaos, the two princes are vying to make wishes for me, trying to win over me. A few days ago, the king of Tang sent Zhongguan to make me uncle. Zhongguan is still staying in Tusi City. Before I leave, let him come and read out the imperial edict and make the appearance complete."

"It's just that most of the surrounding towns won't admit it. It's okay for Governor He and Governor Du of Huguang. They are on good terms with me, so they won't be too embarrassed. Anyway, there are so many generals now. One more and one less is not a big deal. Open your eyes. It passed by just closing one's eyes. What's difficult is that Zeng Ying and other generals and generals, who are in separate areas, have long ignored the Ming court. The court has no control over these military leaders. Suddenly there are more people like you. The commander-in-chief will definitely compete with them for resources and territory. Although they are not very good at fighting, they are still a trouble. If you want to make a difference in Sichuan, you must deal with these characters first."

"The manpower and material resources in eastern Sichuan are not as good as those in central Sichuan. The combined tax and grain production of several prefectures is less than that of Chengdu. If you want to establish yourself in Shu, you must occupy Chengdu Prefecture. So sooner or later you will have a face-to-face battle with Zhang Xianzhong. This thief He has dominated the world for more than ten years, and he is as cunning as a fox and as cruel as a wolf. Many good ministers and generals have suffered losses and even lost their lives at his hands. Although you are resourceful and good at fighting, you must deal with it carefully. As for Zeng Ying and his like, they are just short-sighted rats. He must not be your opponent."

"In order to make it easier for you to stand on your own in the future, I will leave Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming in Shizhu, and they will not stick to the Longevity Valley. You can take Ma Wannian with you to train. He will be Shizhu's consolation envoy from now on, and belongs to the local chieftain. It will not conflict with your military position, of course, if you think he has the ability, you can also promote his military position, but Nianer is the only blood of the Ma family, please take care of him."

Qin Liangyu came slowly, analyzed the situation that Wang Huan would face in the future, and put forward many pertinent suggestions. Although Wang Huan had already had a clear understanding of the future development trend and had his own response plan, after all, Qin Liangyu was in the After working in Central Sichuan for many years, officials of all sizes, local tyrants and squires know the geography like the back of their hands, but their suggestions can be of great help to Wang Huan.

Moreover, her words sounded like Tuogu's last words, and she also asked to take care of Ma Wannian, which was very unlucky.

So Wang Huan hurriedly said: "What did the mother-in-law say? Mr. Ma is young and heroic, and he is the only heir of his brother-in-law. He will be rich in the future. If Wang Huan can follow his mother-in-law's auspicious words and regain Sichuan, he will definitely not forget him. Don't worry, mother."

Qin Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although she hadn't commanded an army for a long time, she had a clear view of the general situation of the world. Da Ming's strength was exhausted. Even if Zhuge and Bai Qi were resurrected, it would be difficult to recover. Internal strife and party strife exhausted the outstanding civil servants. In the end, those who controlled the fate of the Ming Dynasty were mediocre and muddy veterans. They only had their own interests in mind, and they maintained a small group, regardless of the overall situation.

But the word "loyalty" has been throughout Qin Liangyu's life. Her father's family motto "loyalty to the emperor and the country" has always been engraved in her bones, so even if the mine supervisor killed her husband back then, she would lead troops thousands of miles to the north without hesitation. Nothing else.

Her expression turned serious, she looked at Wang Huan solemnly, her eyes were suddenly extremely stern, and she said word by word: "One more thing, Huan'er, you have to keep in mind that we are born as ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and we should also be the ministers of the Ming Dynasty when we die." You ghost, you should be loyal to the emperor, no matter when and where you are, you must be loyal to the emperor, no matter who the Zhu family's descendants call the emperor, you must obey his orders, and you must not do the things of those who are rebellious and rebellious officials, and you must not learn from Zuo Liang Yu is openly rebelling. You must remember the saying that the king worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the king is concerned about the humiliation of his subjects, and the king humiliates his subjects and they die, otherwise, I will not spare you!"

Wang Huan gave a wry smile in his heart, he absolutely does not approve of this kind of foolish loyalty, the emperor is in the world, he himself is not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry?Supporting a declining dynasty is a struggle against the laws of history. How difficult it is. As the saying goes, when dynasties change, new forces replace old forces, like a mighty river that stretches into the sea. How can it be stopped by manpower?
He sighed secretly in his heart, but could not contradict it with his mouth. Wang Huan rolled his eyes and started to care. He immediately said seriously: "What the adoptive mother said is absolutely true. Wang Huan must remember it. Regardless of success or failure in the future, he will never forget the son of the Han family." My bloodline, in this life, my priority is to expel the Tartars and restore our Ming Dynasty. I will be loyal to the country and will not hesitate to die. As long as this body does not die, my ambition will remain unswerving!"

His words were extremely slick, he said that he wanted to recover the Daming country and be loyal to the country, but he didn't say which country he was loyal to, so he gently brought over the meaning of not being foolish and loyal in his heart.

Qin Liangyu didn't know what he was thinking, and she had no power to care about Wang Huan's future. These words were just to scare Wang Huan. She hoped that Wang Huan could devote his life to the court like herself.

Wang Huan spoke righteously, and put one hand on his chest as a sign of loyalty, which made Qin Liangyu nod his head and smile, feeling very satisfied.

The two talked about some specific matters about the appointment. Qin Liangyu became a little tired, so Wang Huan left.

For the next two days, Wang Huan stayed in Tusi City, waiting for the middle official to be appointed. He first sent three thousand minzhuang back to continue the construction and farm work in the Longevity Valley, leaving Zubian and Ma Xintian to wait by his side.

On the morning of the third day, Qin Liangyu summoned the chieftains of Shizhu and other officials to announce Wang Huan's appointment in the main hall of Tusi City.

The middle official sent by the king of Tang is very familiar with doing such a thing. I don’t know how many similar appointments he has read over the years. He personally filled in the blank letter provided by Qin Liangyu. Anyway, it is not the first time to do this. He is far away in Fujian. The king of Tang will definitely not blame him. Shuzhong, which is thousands of miles away, is no longer under the control of the imperial court. As long as the warlords here can still regard Daming as the master, or the king of Tang as emperor, it will be all right to give a few commander-in-chief titles. Okay, after the Lieutenant Commander has finished reading it, just go back and tell him.

The Zhongguan stood high on the steps in front of the hall, holding out a yellow satin edict. He read out in a high-pitched voice to the countless people kneeling at the foot of the steps the candidates for the general army who were nominally appointed by the King of the Tang Dynasty. When Wang Huan The moment the eunuch read out the eunuch's name, Wang Huan couldn't help but tremble all over. He raised his head and bowed to express his gratitude with a complicated mood, and accepted the imperial edict with three cheers: "Long live the eunuch."

Wang Huan turned around, held up the commandment in his hand, and stood tall. The sun shone on his body, as if coating him with a layer of gold. The people kneeling under the steps suddenly had the illusion of pilgrimage. At that moment, Wang Huan looked extremely majestic and energetic.
