Qi Xiaotong left, and the Northern Expeditionary Army of Dafeng Army did not stay here long.
After a rough meal of celebration wine, the large army set off immediately.
Before leaving, Qi Jing specifically told Zhao Mingyu: "We must manage it carefully and be extremely considerate, and we must not let down the trust of the temple."
Lao Zhao said that he had inspected Qiongzhou's development model and was already familiar with it. Next, I will definitely learn from all the successful experiences of this place.
It is foreseeable that the development of Mobei will not be too bad.
The only thing missing is practical talents.
Talent? How difficult is this?
Qi Jing patted his chest boldly and said: With the relationship between him and Qi Shaocheng, asking for some talents is just a trivial matter, so it is not difficult to handle.
Everything is settled!
Okay, farewell!
Da Fengjun's luck was quite good. On the second day of their departure, the weather suddenly improved.
The snow began to melt and the road gradually became easier to walk.
This is an extremely rare warm day, which is rare.
Therefore, Qi Jing decisively ordered the three armies to advance at full speed.
This kind of good opportunity must not be wasted away. If you delay it until you are thirty-nine years old, you will suffer a lot.
Therefore, it must be done neatly.
…
Time flies, winter passes and spring comes.
After a long hard march, the Northern Expeditionary Army finally had an opportunity to rest.
At this moment, they were approaching the area north of Sanhaiguan.
From the perspective of territorial definition, this area is already considered the territory of the Great Feng Dynasty.
However, the imperial court has never made detailed plans here, so to this day, it is still an unclaimed land with a blank jurisdiction.
Before the war is decided, it doesn't matter whether you make plans or not.
However, here's the surprise.
Although there are no officials to manage it, merchants from all sides have spontaneously established trading markets to promote the flow of goods from the north to the south.
It can be seen that the business channel will not be cut off at any time. Even if the war is filled with smoke, it is no exception.
"I really didn't expect that there would be good prosperity here."
“A good life is gratifying!”
After some praise, Qi Jing made an order: the three armies chose to camp here and rest for three consecutive days before setting off again.
The army had marched all the way, and it was time to take a breath. The small town in front of us is just right for camping.
"Pass my military order. No one above or below should disturb the people. Violators will be punished according to military law!"
"Also, guard Zhang Chengdong and the captured Tatars, and there must be no mistakes!"
"yes!"
"..."
The quality of the army under Qi Jing's command is still outstanding.
Of course, this has a lot to do with his iron discipline in running the army for many years. From this point alone, even the Qiong Army under Hong Tao's command is ashamed.
But see you!
Wherever the Qi family army passed, they did not cause any harm to the people, as if they were invisible.
Seeing that everything was in order, Qi Jing found an unused private house as a temporary residence. Such a settlement would facilitate the handling of military affairs and also give his wife a better place to rest.
However, just as he sat down, he saw a guest hurriedly asking to see him.
"Does that person have a name?"
"When I got back to the general, the man called himself Wu Wanrong!"
"He? Why are you here? Anyway, he is a guest from afar. It is not appropriate to turn him away. Please invite him in and sit down!"
"yes!"
This person is Mr. Wu Wanrong Wu.
Ever since he and Qi Yu had that heart-to-heart talk in the capital, he had the idea of going somewhere to put down roots.
Mr. Qi is right, for one emperor and one courtier, his good days are gone forever.
Judging from the fate of Liang Yingzhong's group of veterans, the new king who ascended the throne was not very friendly to the previous elders, and even went so far as to tear them apart and commit suicide.
If you want to protect yourself wisely, you must stay away from the court as soon as possible and go somewhere to avoid trouble.
But in this vast world, which place is the best and safest?
As he thought about it, he thought of Mobei.
The current system in that land has not been established, and there are many wastes waiting to be developed, and there is a lot of room for use. Why don't you follow Zhao Mingyu and go there to find a job?
In this way, he was reused while avoiding the court's eagle eye, which can be said to complement each other.
Anyway, I am not short of money, so I will be satisfied if I can find a place to settle down.
So, he went deep into Mobei, found Zhao Mingyu who was still in charge of logistics at the time, and took the opportunity to recommend himself.
The result was that he was explicitly rejected by Lao Zhao.
He said: Although we, Mobei, are in urgent need of talents, we are not just rag collectors. We will not accept sycophants even if they give us a discount! Upon hearing this, Wu Wanrong was so angry that his face turned green.
I am a dignified imperial examination scholar and an official of the imperial court. How come I have become so-called rags when it comes to your mouth?
It's so disrespectful!
Wu Wanrong snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left with his beard raised.
However, he was not the kind of person who gave up easily. After calming down, he immediately hatched the next plan.
After weighing the situation, he decided to wait in this small town, which was the only way for Qi Jing to return.
Zhao Mingyu couldn't explain it, so he could only try from another aspect.
He was certain that he could convince General Qi to stay.
"Have you met the general?"
"You're welcome, Mr. Wu, please take a seat quickly!"
After a few pleasantries, Wu Wanrong directly stated his intention to come.
Qi Jing refused without hesitation.
Although he had extensive social relations with Wu Wanrong, he still had heard of his bad reputation. Besides, he and Qi Yu had always been at odds with each other. In this situation, there was even less reason to befriend him.
"General Qi, don't be too busy refusing. Let's listen to what Wu has to say."
"I wonder if you have any other advice?"
Wu Wanrong stroked his beard and smiled, and said mysteriously: "If Wu can save the lives of your family, will the general be willing to keep me?"
"Save the lives of my family?" Qi Jing laughed loudly when he heard this, and said: "My family is well and well, and they have done nothing wrong. If this is the case, how can they worry about their lives? Mr. Wu's alarmist talk is unworthy of his status."
"Achieving merit? Actually it's not the case!"
"Oh? Mr. Wu, what do you think?"
Regarding this question, Wu Wanrong did not answer directly, but brought back the topic just now.
Negotiate conditions first and then offer ideas.
"Before Wu makes his explanation, I would like to ask General Qi to answer the question just now. If you are willing to stay, then I will be very happy to give you advice. If the flow of water is ruthless, why should I, a fallen flower, waste my time? ?”
Qi Jing thought for a while and said seriously: "If it is true as your Excellency said, I will treat you as a guest of honor and treat you with courtesy. If your Excellency talks nonsense and deliberately makes fun of you, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Is this true?"
"Tell me the truth!"
"good!"
Wu Wanrong was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Since the general has made a promise, Wu will help you analyze it..."
