Just as Wu Nian expected.
Xiong Wuwo had no advantage to take advantage of, and he failed to persuade him to surrender. Early the next morning, he broke camp and set up camp in the two counties in the west of Guangchuan Prefecture.
Wu Nian left Wang Gui to guard Wanghai Mountain to prevent Xiong Wuwo from making a sneak attack. He led Zhang Sheng all the way east, first staying in Ninghai County for a day, where he met with local officials and encouraged him.
The Mongolians dispersed thousands of Han households, and Hou Wancheng withdrew his troops to Guangyang Mansion.
And everyone knows that Wu Nian particularly hates the Han people who worked for the Mongolian people, and they will end up being caught by Wu Nian.
die!
Therefore, the county magistrates and county magistrates appointed by the Mongolian people, the tens of thousands of Han households, the captains of thousands, or the officials with evil intentions, all those who could escape followed Hou Wancheng.
In this big wave, the remaining officials are relatively reliable.
When Lu Sheng, the prefect of Guangchuan, takes office, he can use it.
After staying in Ninghai County for a day, Wu Nian led Zhang Sheng and Li Tianbao to Jinghai County next door. Set off in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.
Jinghai County is, in a sense, a port city.
Of course, its city cannot be built too close to the sea. But it is very close to the port, and it has become a gathering place for maritime merchants in the Liaodong area.
Fusang merchants, Goguryeo merchants, and Chu merchants gathered here. The business here is very prosperous, and restaurants, inns, brothels and other accommodation and entertainment facilities are very complete.
When business is prosperous, business taxes will be generous.
If the Meng Yuan people had not been able to defend the three mansions, they would never have given up on the Guangchuan mansion.
When Wu Nian's troops arrived in Jinghai County, Wu Nian's people led the county officials and went out to greet Wu Nian.
The main roads in the city were blocked by the government officials.
Under the banner of "Wu". Wu Nian, wearing a summer war coat, rode his horse to the city gate. The officials lined up neatly, bowed and saluted: "General."
A few bold officials secretly raised their heads to look at Wu Nian and took a look at the appearance of the [Liaodong Tiger], and then they were all shocked.
Although they all know that the Liaodong Tigers are very young, this young one is really a bit too much.
At the age of twenty-five or six, I don’t know how many men are still confused. And Wu Nian is already powerful in the world, holding the land of the second government and 100,000 elite soldiers (exaggeration).
"Excuse me, everyone." Wu Nian turned over and dismounted, using his hands to support him, his attitude was very friendly.
The officials stood up and stood still, but bowed their heads slightly to show respect.
"Master Wang. How is the current situation in the city?" Wu Nian raised his head, looked at a middle-aged civil servant and asked.
This is the acting county magistrate, named Wang Chunhan.
"Report to the general. Because some officials left Guangchuan Prefecture with the Meng Yuan people, there is currently a shortage of manpower in the county government. But the remaining officials are very diligent. Including the recruitment of Colonel Feng, the affairs in the county, There was no delay.”
Wang Chunhan bent down and said respectfully.
"Yes. Not bad." Wu Nian had a look of satisfaction on his face and nodded gently.
"The mansion has been prepared in the city, and the banquet has been prepared. Please invite me, general." Wang Chunhan was overjoyed to be satisfied with his superiors, but his face was very calm as he bent down and saluted.
"No. I have other places to go."
Wu Nian shook his head and said.
Wang Chunhan was a little surprised, where else to go? At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves. Wu Nian and everyone looked up to the south.
Three fast horses came galloping, and it seemed that there was an official with two followers.
The official seemed not to have expected this situation ahead. He stopped his horse and was stunned for a moment.
"I am the county magistrate Wang Chunhan, what can I do?" Wang Chunhan had just arrived and did not recognize the official, but judging from the direction, he probably guessed that the official was working at the port. His heart sank, he raised his head and asked.
"Report to the county magistrate. News came from the sea. Fuso pirates attacked a Chu caravan and looted a large amount of tea and silk."
The official suddenly woke up from a dream, quickly got off his horse and reported the incident.
"Hey." Wang Chunhan sighed, raised his head and said to Wu Nian: "Since the Meng Yuan people retreated, Guangchuan Mansion's defenses have been empty. After what happened with Kunihiko Torii, the pirates seemed to be crazy. Either plunder at sea or land on shore to rob.”
"My subordinates are really incompetent if they cannot protect the country and the people." As he said this, Wang Chunhan bowed deeply to Wu Nian and said with shame.
The officials, either angry, ashamed, or sighing, also saluted together.
"Master Wang, you are serious. You have just arrived. And the pirate incident has been going on for a long time. It is not as cold as a day. How can I blame you?"
Wu Nian helped Wang Chunhan up and still said pleasantly.
Wu Nian was not the kind of person who would let his subordinates take the blame if something happened. After appeasing Wang Chunhan, Wu Nian raised his head and said loudly to the officials present: "You are all from Guangchuan Province, and most of them are locals from Jinghai County. The matter of pirates has troubled Liaodong for many years. You all. Some people may have grown up hearing stories about pirates’ cruelty.”
"Since the Meng Yuan people can control Guangchuan Prefecture, how can I drive away the Meng Yuan people? I, who is known as the Tiger of Liaodong, can't protect you? Don't worry. Within a year. I dare not say that pirates will disappear on the sea. , but at least let them not dare to land in Guangchuan Prefecture to burn, kill and loot."
For the people and officials of Guangchuan Prefecture, piracy is a top priority.
Whoever can destroy the pirates will be their reborn parents.
The reputation of the Liaodong Tigers, coupled with Wu Nian's sonorous and powerful words, immediately boosted the morale of the officials and government servants present.
"Thank you, General."
The officials all bowed and saluted again, and thanked him loudly. The government officials nearby cheered even more.
"General Fuhan!!!"
"General Fu Han!!!"
Whatever position you are in, do whatever you want. For Wu Nian, now that he has Guangchuan Mansion, it is a matter of course to fight against pirates.
Facing the thanks from officials and government servants, he felt neither sadness nor joy.
"Zhang Sheng. You lead the troops into the city." Wu Nian told Zhang Sheng. Then he got on his horse and, together with Li Tianbao, led three soldiers from one hundred households to Zhangjiazhuang in the north of the city.
Zhang Guangcheng has a mansion in the city, but rarely lives in the city. He had a large tract of land in the north of the city and built a large Zhangjiazhuang.
There are more than a hundred armed guards and domestic slaves under his command.
certainly. Zhang Guangcheng's power is far less than that of Ban Bian Zhang back then. And the Wu Nian now is no longer the Wu Nian back then.
Regarding Zhang Guangcheng, Wu Nian wanted to both use him and deal with him.
Colluding with pirates and doing business selling stolen goods?
snort.
