Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 793 Bestowing Bullfight Clothes

"I don't care what your city is called. It's the most important thing to keep it and make it well. Everything else is trivial."

After arranging the generals of Jilin and Heilongjiang, Chen Yongfu laughed easily:

"The imperial court has received news that the tens of thousands of us left here will all be evacuated from Liaodong before the end of the year, and then the Beijing camp will be on duty."

"We can go home too."

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals rejoiced.

"Chen Shuai, what about the soldiers from Jilin and Heilongjiang? They are also composed of them?"

Wang Shiguo frowned, and couldn't help complaining: "They don't suffer like us, they can survive the heavy snow in Liaodong."

"There are other arrangements for this matter."

Chen Yongfu waved his hand: "There are still tens of thousands of North Korean elite soldiers in this battle. The imperial court decided to transfer part of the Beijing camp to mix with them, and then go north to Jilin and Nuergan."

"In addition, I have also stated to you that the army under my command should spread the word more. Anyone who decides to go to Jilin and slaves will be promoted two ranks, given a hundred acres of land, and three times the replacement rate in the prison..."

This meeting lasted for more than an hour.

It mainly talked about three things.

The first is the establishment of the two generals, followed by the withdrawal and replacement of the Beijing camp, and the disposal of Liaodong.

At the end of the year, the military control over Liaodong will end, and Chen Yongfu will resign and return to Beijing. Due to the establishment of the Jilin Metropolitan Division, Liaodong Province has become inland, and the land value has increased a lot.

If it weren't for the emperor's mandatory request to replace the land with the merit points of this battle and arrange them all to Liaodong, otherwise the soldiers would have run home long ago.

By the end of June, after some statistics, there were only 8000 people in the whole army who were really willing to stay in Liaodong, and even fewer people went to Jilin, only about [-] people.

Such a number is far from enough for the army.

In desperation, he could only report to the court.

Then, there was a sudden rumor that in order to cooperate with the policy of the Ministry of War, the Five Armies Commander's Mansion could only force soldiers who were not only sons or single to be conscripted to Jilin.

Although it was only two or three days before the news came out, the number of married couples in the capital exceeded [-], and many people asked for leave to go out to find a matchmaker to find a wife.

The strange thing is that the court did not pursue it, and the board never fell.

"The city of Beijing is really lively."

Wang Shiguo and Xin Wencheng returned to Beijing together.

This time, I will live in the north for a long time, and the family servants must pick me up, otherwise it will be uncomfortable.

Wang Shiguo was amazed when he saw that there was a team of weddings just a few steps away from the capital.

"This time I'm returning to Beijing, my sons and daughters have plenty of money, so it's time to get married in time."

Xin Wencheng also nodded in agreement.

The eyes full of red, the lively banquet, and the fragrant tea and wine made people feel much happier and washed away the tiredness of running around.

Fortunately, the emperor was at Yuquan Mountain, otherwise, they would have to drag their tired bodies to meet the emperor immediately before returning home.

After returning home for the first time, the two families were filled with sorrow and joy.

The joy is promotion, and the sorrow is going north.

Xin Wencheng's son is only sixteen or seventeen years old, not as stubborn as his father, and his studies are just like that. He passed the county examination, but he is far from a scholar!
The family can only pack their bags.

Wang Shiguo can take it easy.

His eldest son was married and had a young son, so he naturally had to stay in the capital, while his daughters stayed in Beijing to avoid the hardships of the wind and snow, and all the other sons were brought with them to sharpen themselves.

The next day, the two did not dare to delay, and set off for Yuquan Villa in Xishan.

For the first time, they saw a railroad carriage.

Although the speed is less than thirty miles per hour, in the eyes of the two of them, it is still speeding like lightning.

Xin and Wang were dumbfounded when they heard that they traveled four hundred miles a day.

"Okay, okay——" Wang Shiguo said emotionally: "If this thing is built in Heilongjiang, we can return to Beijing in about ten days."

"Don't think about it." Xin Wencheng said with a wry smile: "In the ghostly place in Liaobei, there are more wild animals than people, and the weeds can't be burned. It won't take long to repair the railway tracks."

After changing horses twice, they arrived at Yuquan Villa in less than an hour.

Knowing the situation, the people in the inner court arranged a carriage for transportation, and met the emperor in a short time.

And at this time, it was only three quarters of an hour.

"Chen Xin Wencheng (Wang Shiguo), please greet Your Majesty."

"Please come!"

Zhu Yixi cast his eyes on the two of them.

Xin Wencheng has a flat head and straight face, with drooping eyebrows and eyes, his face is tense, and the word "seriousness" is written all over it; Wang Shiguo was born as a frontier general, and he is also older, his face is a little loose, but he looks simple and honest.

"Thank you, Your Majesty—"

The two stood up, not daring to look at the emperor.

"The general of Jilin is appointed first in Tuntian."

Zhu Yixi pointed to Xin Wencheng and said: "Don't worry about it, the censor is patrolling around, and every now and then there will be exiles, and I will send them to Jilin."

"Cultivate official roads, focus on farmland, open mountains and mines, develop people, and make Jilin the second Liaodong. These are the requirements of you."

"That's why I gave you great power, don't let me down."

"The general will do his best to live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

Gritting his teeth, Xin Wencheng knelt down on one knee, as if he was issuing a military order.

Wang Shiguo on the side trembled, as if he noticed that the emperor's gaze was on him.

"Wang Shiguo, your proposal for Heilongjiang City is good."

The emperor asked him to raise his head, looked into his eyes, and said seriously: "You have three important responsibilities, building the city and pacifying the people."

"And business."

"The buildings are naturally built in Heilongjiang, and the Fumin are those Shengmin tribes who drink blood, drive deer and fish, let them be obedient and naturalized, and change from raw to familiar."

"Do you know how to do business?"

When the emperor asked suddenly, Wang Shiguo was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said cautiously: "Nuer Gandusi is like Yulin, where no grass can grow. Of course, farming is not as good as Jilin and Liaodong, so we can only rely on merchants."

"Yes."

Zhu Yixi nodded with satisfaction: "The city of Heilongjiang is thousands of miles away, and most of the tribes make a living from fishing and hunting. Fur, fish catch, deer antler, ginseng, and even gold mines are all possible."

"When Heilongjiang City is established, merchants will seek profit, and the business tax they harvest will be enough to support military use."

The two received the on-demand broadcast, and it can be said that they saw the sun behind the clouds, and were greatly inspired. Thanks again and again, and before they left, they received the emperor's reward again:

Each wears a bullfight suit.

This is a great honor.

Bullfighting, flying fish, and python suits are all rewarded to courtiers because they resemble dragons, to show their favor.

Now in the imperial court, there are no python uniforms, only Chen Yongfu gave flying fish when he regained Liaodong, Li Jizu recovered Beijing and gave flying fish uniforms, and today's bullfighting uniforms, only a few princes have them.

Among the marquises, it seems that only Gao Yigong and the two of them have it.

After staying in Yuquan Mountain for a few days, I met relatives and friends, and the capital city was like a frying pan under cold water, extremely lively.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies issued an order that anyone who was not an only child, unmarried, or married and had no children would move their entire family to Jilin.

Many people suddenly realized that it is best to have family members when immigrating to the border.

Everyone in the Beijing camp lamented endlessly.

Coauthor Bai is busy.
