Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Hearing the word consul, Guan Guosen suddenly froze: "The consul is here?"

"Right in Guangning City!" Zhong Wangzhi sneered: "If you are so domineering all your life, someone will eventually deal with you!"

What does the word Wang Qi mean in Liaodong?
Guan Guosen, as a commander-in-chief who had been working his way up from the bottom, of course knew that, not to mention that the entire Liaodong commander-in-chief generals were trained and promoted by Wang Qi. Even the guerrillas, guards, and thousands of officials at the bottom, for Wang Qi is also respectful as a god and is determined to fight on the ground. As long as Wang Qi says a word, these people will throw their heads and blood without frowning.

Hearing Wang Qi's name, Guan Guosen, who was already under siege, no longer resisted. He showed a little more demeanor as a former guard: "You can arrest me, but you can kill or behead me as you please. Guan will not frown, but before that , I request to meet with the ruling lord!"

"Is this necessary?" Zhong Wangzhi obviously didn't look like he was having trouble again.

"Guan just wants to talk to the ruling lord about something. After all, he has been fighting with the lord for many years." Guan Guosen still had a smile on his face. The general who has fought a hundred battles is extraordinarily free and easy when facing life and death: "Otherwise, I will die. Well, when the consul asks, if you didn’t give me the chance to meet you one last time, how can you live in Liaodong from now on?”

Zhong Wangzhi squeezed the fold in his hand and said coldly: "I'll go and report it to your Excellency."

"Come here, take this person to the prison now!!!"

Wang Qi had some impression of Guan Guosen, but not deeply.

After all, the number of first-level officers in the general army who have passed through Wang Qi's hands ranges from 80 to 80.

"At that time, during the battle in Guangning City, this man led his bodyguards into the battle and acted as the vanguard to capture and kill the old slave! Now that I think about it, he seemed to have some bravery in him."

Wang Shouxin followed Wang Qi and said softly: "It seems that they have something to hide."

"It's an unspeakable secret?" Wang Qi frowned and said coldly: "The documents from the Bingbei Yamen can arrive directly in the capital and go directly to my desk. Now that something has happened, are you telling me that you have an unspeakable secret? I'm afraid it's a bit late, right?"

"Subordinates talk too much!" After all, they were part of the same army and were considered half colleagues. Wang Shouxin wanted to intercede on Guan Guosen's behalf.

Looking at the crowds of people on the street in the distance, Wang Qi finally shook his head: "Let's make arrangements. I'll go see him tomorrow night."

"I obey!" Wang Shouxin nodded in agreement.

Guangning City Prison.

Guan Guosen was led out of the cell. The iron chains and shackles on his body were removed. He was in good spirits. It seemed that he had not been treated harshly in prison. After all, the chief officer of the Guangning Left Guard Army had not been convicted before he was convicted. No one would dare to bully me. If those soldiers knew about it, I would be careful walking at night and someone would wipe my neck.

Click.

Guan Guosen stood at the door, and standing in front of him was Wang Shouxin.

"Your Excellency is inside," Wang Shouxin looked at Guan Guosen: "If you have anything to say, just tell the truth. Your Excellency will make the decision for you."

"Thank you!" Guan Guosen did not look at Wang Shouxin, but nodded slightly, and then stepped directly in.

In the hall, Wang Qi was already sitting there.

"General, I will pay my respects to you, sir!" As soon as Guan Guosen entered the palace, he bent his knees and knelt on the ground.

"Are you short of money?" Wang Qi got straight to the point and asked directly without letting Guan Guosen get up.

For his old department, Wang Qi has never had so many red tapes.

"I will be embarrassed by you!" Just like a child seeing his relatives, he could no longer suppress his grievance and unwillingness. He choked and said with sobs: "I will be embarrassed by you!"

"Whether it's embarrassing or not is another matter, but I really want to hear your explanation when a commander-in-chief did something like this." Wang Qi lowered his brows and whispered: "Get up, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, sir!" Guan Guosen slowly got up from the ground, then moved to the chair and sat down with half of his butt in the air.

"A year ago, the war in Liaodong took a break," Guan Guosen said slowly after a while, "the imperial court issued an order to disband soldiers in Liaodong."

When the imperial court issued an order to disband the armies, because the proportion of the dismantling was too large and there was no compensation, it triggered a mutiny in the army. Wang Qi, who was in Zhucheng at the time, wrote a letter to Qin Erbao and others to appease the army.

Before many follow-up measures can be implemented, dismantling the armies is a way to die.

Wang Qi naturally knew this truth, so he also wrote to the court to temporarily stop the abolition.

After the parliament took power, Wang Qi asked Sun Chengzong to be responsible for the removal of redundant personnel from the army.

At the same time, we will provide pensions to orphans, widows, and disabled soldiers in the military, and formulate a parliamentary pension system and urge its implementation.

"The parliament's compassionate system is good, and it has also allowed many laid-off soldiers to have a place to live, allocate fields, and make a living. However," Guan Guosen's voice was low and he changed his subject: "After half a year of implementation, the parliament A new item has been added to the gratuity system, replacing the original monthly silver taels with land reclamation."

Speaking of this, Wang Qi's brows also wrinkled slightly.

He already knew what the problem was.

"Sir, you know that those soldiers in the Liaodong camp are good at fighting to the death and fighting with the slaves. But once they are allowed to have some free time, they will just eat, drink, whore, gamble, and do nothing. What else can they do? Going to work on the fields? So the reduction in pensions also caused their dissatisfaction."

"So," Wang Qi sneered: "You just sent troops to plunder the caravans to make up for the lack of pensions and benefit the soldiers. After all, the parliament still wants to thank you?"

"grown ups."

"Even Qin Erbao turned a blind eye to this," Wang Qi said with a hint of anger: "Can you take a longer view? Farmers are the foundation of a person's life. Those soldiers at the bottom have Only by living in the world can you live, instead of taking people out to plunder every half a month. Do you think this kind of life can last forever, or can Qin Erbao protect you for the rest of your life? "

"grown ups!"

With a plop, Guan Guosen knelt on the ground, already bursting into tears: "General, I have embarrassed you! At this time, the general will be responsible for all the work. His brothers are not wrong, and Governor Qin is also not wrong. If you want to punish me, just punish the general. !”

"You alone have made the council pay several times the cost to settle this matter." Wang Qi gently stroked the green thumb: "I will make your funeral a beautiful one, so go with peace of mind."

"grown ups."

Guan Guosen knelt on the ground with his head lowered and kowtowed three times solemnly: "I will lead your horse and whip for you in the next life!"

Nanjing City, Governor's Mansion.

Qin Erbao looked at the secret letter sent by his subordinates, and sadness gradually rose in his brows.

In the end, it just turned into a sigh. (End of chapter)
