Let’s leave aside the reactions of all forces in Liaodong for the time being...
Tonight, in the front hall of the governor's Yamen of Guangning City.
The banquet held for the court angel and the new governor was very sumptuous, but the process of the banquet was not so satisfactory.
Today, the forces in Liaodong have been reshuffled. Wang Qi has risen with an unstoppable momentum. Other forces also have their own strengths and weaknesses... the situation is becoming more and more delicate.
Although there are still slaves in Liaodong who have not been exterminated, it does not prevent the various forces from fighting to the death. Who wants to drink here?
Therefore, when the Superintendent of Ceremonies, King Dajue, was on his way to work, he excused himself from being tired and went back to his room to rest.
Zuo Guangdou, the governor of Liaodong, and Yang Lian, the censor of Qiandu, maintained their identities and did not want to stay too long on such an occasion.
Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong manager, received a secret letter on the way and never returned.
In the end, the banquet was the home court of the Liaodong generals.
The soldiers didn't care much about the fighting in the court. Today they just drank the royal wine among themselves and enjoyed themselves.
Wang Qi, who was sitting in the hall, rejected three officials who were toasting, and the others were sensible and did not come forward to disturb him.
After a while, Lu Enguang appeared again.
"Captain Wang, from now on we all belong to the Jinyiwei Yamen and serve His Majesty. You and I, please keep in touch!" Different from the calm and composed manner last time in the camp, this time, Lu Enguang held the wine glass with both hands and pressed the rim of the glass to the extreme. Low.
Wang Qi was about to leave the banquet. At this moment, looking at Lu Enguang's face blooming into a chrysanthemum, he could only nod and smile: "Master Lu said yes!"
"In the future, you and I will cooperate more. I, Mr. Lu, have no other skills. My ability to read people and stir up troubled waters was something that Governor Wei personally praised!" Lu Enguang was a little tipsy, facing Wang Qi at this moment. , also beating his chest with a bang, while whispering: "Mr. Lu has been in Jinyiwei for many years. As long as you speak, brother, I have all the dirty information about all the civil and military officials!"
Wang Qi's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Master Lu is drunk!"
"Ah?" Lu Enguang instantly realized that he had made a gaffe while drunk, and laughed subconsciously: "Lu is talking nonsense, talking nonsense! Hahaha, brother, don't be offended, don't be offended."
Finally, Lu Enguang seemed to be worried that Wang Qi would misunderstand him, so he added: "Brother Wang, I have never investigated you! Don't misunderstand..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang understands what you are like," Wang Qi said that he didn't care. He put down his wine glass and prepared to leave: "I have something else to do. If it's inconvenient, I'll stay here. Mr. Lu, please excuse me."
"Brother Wang, don't leave, don't leave," Lu Enguang stretched out his hand to hold Wang Qi, hoping to bring the two of them closer through this banquet.
"Master Lu?" At this moment, Wang Qi's tone had become lowered, and he even looked at Lu Enguang with a warning look.
"Brother Wang, don't blame me, don't blame me," Lu Enguang chuckled, as if to ease the awkward atmosphere, or to show off his intelligence channels, he whispered: "Brother Wang, aren't you curious, where did Xiong Jinglue go in such a hurry? ?”
"Wang doesn't like guessing riddles," Wang Qi's patience was about to be exhausted by this Lu Enguang, and his tone became colder.
"Ahem," Lu Enguang's face turned red. He obviously didn't notice the change in Wang Qi's tone and whispered: "The Jinyi secret guards just sent news from Shenyang... Nurhaci sent the Sibeile Huang Taiji to enter Grassland Mongolia, Horqin, discuss marriage matters."
Marriage between Jianzhou and Horqin?
Wang Qi's eyes froze for an instant. In his impression, it was only after Huang Taiji ascended the throne that the Manchu Qing Dynasty gradually began to pay attention to its relationship with the Mongolian tribes... Could it be that the battle of Sipingbao caused the historical trajectory to deviate? shift?
"Brother Wang may not understand the relationship between Jianzhou and Mongolia," Lu Enguang saw that Wang Qi was interested in what he said, so he continued excitedly: "In the early years, Huang Taiji once married a woman from Horqin, Mongolia, but the relationship between the two parties The relationship is only at the level of mutual non-aggression and interference, Horqin has been directly arguing back and forth between Daming and Jianzhou, and the position is uncertain. This time Nurhachi sent Huang Taiji as envoy to Horqin, which is obviously to force Horqin to make a choice!"
"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with your brother Wang. If you hadn't shown your might at Siping Fort and defeated Jianzhou, I might not have been able to make up my mind to cooperate deeply with Horqin Grassland..."
Wang Qi was no longer listening to what Lu Enguang said next.
He only thinks about one thing now: if Huang Taiji succeeds, Mongolian Horqin invades from the north and the Eight Banners of Jianzhou in the east, then the newly stable situation in Guangning City will fall apart in an instant!
However... Wang Qi then thought about it. From this point of view, the Jinyiwei was not as notorious as it was in history. It was as useless as the king's father's lackey. It still had some effect in spying on intelligence and gathering military intelligence!
Seeing Lu Enguang sticking his tongue out, blushing and bragging, Wang Qi showed another professional fake smile on his face, and he had already made up his mind: if he wants to fulfill his ambition and realize his lifelong wish, then in the future, Jin Yiwei will The yamen must be in your own hands!
After a while, Lu Enguang was finally so drunk that he almost collapsed on the table, speechless and speechless. Wang Qi winked and asked the servants waiting on the side to help him down...
On the other side, with Lu Enguang showing off, the other first-level generals of the Liaodong Army also began to step forward and toast the newly appointed Liaodong Commander.
"That day when we first saw Siping Fort, I felt that Brother Wang was like a dragon and a phoenix among men. He was a great talent. If he came to the battle in person and led his army to kill the enemy, he would be able to make the enemy frightened and routed for thousands of miles. Now that I look at it, he is quite a brother. What a foresight! Hahahaha,"
Luo Yiguan, who has been promoted to the chief military officer of Guangning City, specially tied the jade belt given by the emperor to the heroes of Liaodong around his waist. He held the wine with one hand and held the jade belt with the other. The smile on his face almost overflowed.
"That day outside the Zhenwu Fort, he led his army to directly attack the Zhengbai Banner Division led by Huang Taiji. The figure standing on horseback with his sword drawn was a real man! It will be something Liu will never forget!"
Liu Qu, who was promoted to the chief military officer of Siping Fort, actually saw how Wang Qi turned the tide that day and instantly reversed the situation of the war that was on the verge of collapse. Even if Wang Qi did not have his current rank, Liu Qu still admired him.
"As Brother Wang, I could have been in the hometown of officials and nobles, wandering horses and fighting dogs, becoming a rich and wealthy idler, but instead I came to this cold land of Liaodong, worked day and night, and achieved extraordinary achievements, which really makes us admire, He is also a role model for young masters from aristocratic families!" Zu Dashou now looked at Wang Qi with emotion.
The ancestral family has lived in Ningyuan for a long time. Now, with the merits of the Siping Battle, he has finally been promoted to the general officer of the Fourth Guards of Ningyuan, and the whole area from the north of Shanhaiguan to the south of the Guangning Guards has been included in the jurisdiction, becoming a veritable Liaodong family.
"My lords, from now on I will be stationed in Liaodong to guard the border for the Holy Lord. If there is a war, I hope we can help each other and help each other!"
Wang Qi faced several Liaodong generals, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and glanced around: "Everyone, please!"
"Master Captain, please!" The four of them raised their glasses together and drank it all in one gulp.
The wine is cold and pungent in the throat, just like the water of the Liao River, biting and cold.
Not long after, the banquet finally came to an end. All the generals handed over to each other and left in twos and threes.
Wang Qi was the last to leave, standing at the door, looking up at the uncertain Beidou in the sky, his eyes full of thoughts.
"Sir, do you want to go back home?" Tai Erbao took more than ten relatives
The guard is waiting not far from Wang Qi.
"Er Bao," Wang Qi withdrew his gaze, his expression becoming indifferent again.
"Sir!" Tai Erbao lowered his head and obeyed the order.
"Send a few capable men to monitor the Horqin trading mission outside the city. If there is any change, report it to me as soon as possible!" Wang Qi's tone was extremely cold. He just heard that Jianzhou and Horqin were going to marry again, Wang Qi's heart The murderous intention arises.
If nothing can be done, Wang Qi will feel that Horqin's trading mission will be kept as a back-up!
