This person was naturally Han Qianhu of the Hussars Camp. After leading the edict and leaving the customs, he pretended to be a Jianlu Tatar, divided into many waves, and spread out in a line until he was far deep into the grassland. As long as there are people from Shanxi who go to Liaodong, they can basically meet them. Unless the people in Shanxi are cautious enough to go around Mobei first and then go to Liaodong.
This wait-and-see approach is currently the only feasible approach. It can prevent people from Shanxi from turning around and running away when they see the Ming army on the vast grassland. If the fire is brighter here, we can quickly notify other comrades who are stationed there.
Fortunately, although it was March at this time, the weather was still very cold, so everyone wore hats so that their secrets would not be exposed. Otherwise, the money rat tail would be a problem.
Han Qianhu was so happy that he got what he wanted. He immediately shouted and had the remaining people tied up. After everyone returned, he returned to the capital.
At this time, in Yanghe, Shanxi, guard Xia Deyi was warming up the stove in his house, listening to songs and drinking wine. This kind of day is how people live, not when they have to patrol the city in the cold weather.
Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, followed by a "pop" sound. Without any warning, the door was pushed open forcefully, and a gust of cold wind suddenly poured in.
Xia Deyi was frozen unexpectedly and shivered. He turned around and saw that it was his confidant Qian Hu who was on duty at the east gate. He couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Are you crazy? Are your parents dead?"
"No, sir, it's Lu... Lu Yanwang is here!"
"What?" Xia Deyi was startled when he heard this, stood up from his chair and said, "Are you reading that right?"
He was almost punished by Lu Xiangsheng before due to military discipline issues. Later, although he was spared the death penalty, he was spanked to the point of blooming. This experience was deeply engraved in his bones.
"No, he will be there soon. He is wearing a scarlet robe. Even if I am blind, I can smell it with my nose."
When Xia Deyi heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious: "What is he doing here? The Governor is not here yet, this... this..."
He was as anxious as a headless chicken. Suddenly, he thought that logically speaking, he should be at the arrow tower at the top of the city at this time. If Lu Xiangsheng found out that he was drinking and listening to music at home, he might be subject to military law.
Thinking like this, Xia Deyi couldn't care about anything else. He quickly shouted to get the armor and wanted to run out.
When he arrived at the door and hurriedly put on his armor, he suddenly came to his senses. King Lu Yan was not Governor Xuanda! Why are you still afraid of being like this?
Although he understood this, his butt seemed to hurt a little, so he decided to rush to greet her immediately. At the same time, someone was sent to notify the Governor's Mansion and tell him that King Lu Yan was coming.
When he hurried to the east gate, he happened to meet Lu Xiangsheng coming to the city. At a glance, he saw Lu Xiangsheng wearing a scarlet robe, with two hundred elites behind him, and an invisible aura coming over him.
Xia Deyi did not dare to neglect and hurriedly greeted him.
Lu Xiangsheng sat on his horse, condescendingly looking at him and asked coldly: "Are you the guard general of Yanghe now?"
"It's the last general!" Xia Deyi quickly replied.
"Immediately send someone to inform the generals everywhere that I have an edict to be read out. Anyone who dares to delay will be ruthless in military law!" After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking in a cold voice, he drove his horse into the city.
"Yes!" Xia Deyi replied subconsciously, but he immediately came to his senses and felt something was wrong. He quickly said, "The Governor is not here, this..."
Lu Xiangsheng ignored him, but Lu Da, who was following closely behind Lu Xiangsheng, turned around and replied coldly: "Master Chen is in the capital with the Yangge Department and will not return to Shanxi!"
Hearing this, Xia Deyi was stunned for a while, a little confused as to what it meant?
Looking at Lu Xiangsheng's back in shock, he didn't come back to his senses until the two hundred cavalry accompanying him were almost gone. Could it be that Mr. Chen has been promoted again? Being with Yang Gebu, could it be that he has become an assistant minister of the cabinet?
Then, King Lu Yan came back to be the Governor of Xuanda?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel whether he should be happy or tragic!
He is Chen Xinjia's confidant. Logically speaking, Chen Xinjia's confidant should be happy when Chen Xinjia has been promoted.
But why, why did King Lu Yan come back to become the Governor of Xuanda? When he came, not only did he lose his source of money, but he also had to impose strict military discipline. Is this human behavior?
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a voice from the side reminding him: "Sir, you have received a military order!"
"Ah?" Xia Deyi came back to his senses and couldn't help being startled. If I don’t carry out King Lu Yan’s military orders...
Thinking of this, he felt a slight pain in his butt again.
At this time, he didn't dare to stand there any longer. He quickly ordered people to rush to various places to convey King Lu Yan's military orders. At the same time, he quickly sent people to inform Huang Yunfa, a Shanxi merchant in the city.
Chen Xinjia was promoted to cabinet minister, and King Lu Yan came back as the governor of Xuanda. This was a big event, and they had to be notified immediately.
After assigning these tasks, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and without thinking about why he was sweating so much in such a cold day, he immediately hurried to the Governor's Mansion.
………………
"What?" Huang Yunfa, just like Xia Deyi, stood up in fright and confirmed nervously, "King Lu Yan is back and continues to be the Governor of Xuanda? Governor Chen is promoted to the position of Assistant Minister of the Cabinet?"
"Yes, that's what my general said." The visitor immediately nodded and replied, "King Lu Yan has already gone to the Governor's Mansion. My general rushed over to wait on him. When the news arrived, I was also on the roster, just in case. King Lu Yan has checked that he is not going to get slapped."
Seeing the visitor leaving in a hurry, Huang Yunfa couldn't sit still and paced anxiously back and forth in the room, as if he was another headless fly.
No one else who came over would have such a strong intimidation, and only Lu Xiangsheng could make them all restless.
After all, when Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Xuanda, he reorganized the army and collected taxes on grain. He severely punished both the army and Shanxi merchants. Moreover, if there is no oil and salt, it will be a disaster for them.
"Master Chen, why don't you send someone to inform you of such a big thing in advance?" Huang Yunfa frowned and said with a bit of hatred, "I have been promoted, don't you know how important the position of Governor Xuanda is? ? Why not recommend a reliable Governor of Xuanda with the Yang Ge Department?"
After complaining for a while, Huang Yunfa suddenly stood up and said a little fiercely: "No, absolutely not! King Lu Yan cannot be allowed to hold the post of Governor of Xuanda under any circumstances. We must notify other people immediately and make a careful calculation. King Lu of Hell must drive him away!"
After making up his mind, he immediately left, and at the same time ordered his confidants: "Immediately send people to notify other families, tell them the news, and go to Zhangjiakou to discuss it."
Just when Lu Xiangsheng showed up like this, Shanxi was almost in chaos.
The generals from all over the country were frightened when they heard the military orders coming from the fast horses.
These people, who can safely serve as generals everywhere under Chen Xinjia, are naturally Chen Xinjia's people. Otherwise, as long as there is someone who is not Chen Xinjia, Shanxi merchants must be very careful when doing things.
In the past, when Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Xuanda and could not be bribed, they had no choice. But now that Chen Xinjia has become the Governor of Xuanda, if anyone is dissatisfied, it is not Chen Xinjia who has the final say. He can replace him wherever he finds a mistake, so why not!
But at this time, these people felt like their dead parents. If they had a choice, they really didn't want to see King Lu Yan. However, now that Xuanda is going to be headed by King Lu Yan, they all have no time to think about what to do with the Shanxi merchants? The first thing that comes to mind is King Lu Yan’s military management.
Yes, Lu Xiangsheng can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, eat and live together; but what does this have to do with them, the generals? If he does this, what will they, as generals, do?
The morale of the army has been taken away by Lu Xiangsheng. If one of them does not do well, things will be blamed on Lu Yanwang, and then they will be unlucky.
It can be said that most of these generals, or those who were not chief generals, were dealt with by Lu Xiangsheng, and they were all afraid of Lu Xiangsheng.
Therefore, after receiving the military order, the first thing they did was to quickly ask their trusted subordinates to sort out the affairs within their army. They should deal with what should be dealt with and appease what should be comforted. Anyway, during the period when King Lu Yan was the governor of Xuanda, he had to do everything. Become a human being with your tail between your legs.
Then, they did not dare to neglect and immediately rushed to Yanghe to report to the Governor's Mansion. If you go late, King Lu Yan is also very strict in running the army, and the least he can do is beat him up.
And Lu Xiangsheng himself really regarded Xuanda Governor's Mansion as his own home. Upon arrival, his two hundred soldiers immediately took over the governor's palace. The original people were all sent back to the military camp.
Due to his original prestige, and more importantly, the confidentiality of this operation was very good. Although the situation in the capital had been turned upside down, no news came out. Therefore, no one came to ask Lu Xiangsheng at all. relevant certificates. It was immediately accepted that Lu Xiangsheng was the new Governor of Xuanda.
Xia Deyi has been very nervous and has been paying attention to the movements of King Lu Yan. However, what surprised him was that this time, after King Lu Yan took office, he did not patrol the military camp vigorously and inspect the ordnance. Instead, he just stayed in the Governor's Mansion, as if he was taking a rest.
This situation made Xia Deyi couldn't help but guess. Could it be that King Lu Yan was working hard for the king this time. I heard that he almost died in the battle, but in the end he was sent to be the governor of Xuanda without any reward. Is he frustrated with the court? It's cold, so you're not as vigorous as before?
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems. Otherwise, King Lu Yan would definitely not be able to stay idle. Xia Deyi couldn't help but get excited again when he thought about it. As Chen Xinjia's confidant, he naturally knew that Chen Xinjia was messing with Lu Xiangsheng. From this point of view, Chen Xinjia has been promoted, and Lu Xiangsheng is just a governor of Xuanda, and maybe even this governor of Xuanda is only temporary. In this way, it makes sense why King Lu Yan came here this time and treated him coldly, and then just stayed in the Governor's Mansion without any movement.
Thinking like this, Xia Deyi felt that he had been overly sensitive before, so he went to visit Huang Yunfa to talk about this matter. Unexpectedly, Huang Yunfa ran to Zhangjiakou. So, he just sent someone to tell him the good news.
Besides, as soon as Lu Xiangsheng's military order was issued, generals from all over the country arrived almost in the middle of the night.
They didn't open the city gate at night, so they burned a fire under the city for the night. They even speculated whether King Lu Yan would be watching from the top of the city.
At such a speed, by the afternoon of the third day, all the generals under Governor Xuanda had arrived in Yanghe.
At this time, two of Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards left the Governor's Mansion and hurried out of the city.
The generals who were waiting at the door asked Yang He guard Xia Deyi about it out of curiosity. After all, this is the first time there has been any movement since King Lu Yan arrived in Yanghe.
However, when faced with the questions from his colleagues, Xia Deyi just shook his head and said, "If he doesn't tell me, how dare you ask?"
This is true, who dares to take the initiative to approach King Lu Yan. These generals thought and understood Xia Deyi.
When they had nothing to do, they whispered to each other in low voices and discussed what to do after King Lu Yan arrived.
"Ah, our life is difficult!"
"Yes, who says no? The good times are coming to an end. When will we be able to enjoy the popular food and drink spicy food again?"
"I don't think there's anything to worry about. There are people who are more anxious than us! How can they do their business if King Lu Yan is here?"
"How can we not be anxious! If their business stops, will you drink the northwest wind?"
"Yes, that is a big source of income for us. When King Lu Yan comes, he cuts off their financial path and also cuts off our financial path at the same time!"
"..."
After listening to their discussion, Xia Deyi walked over and revealed his guess to them with a bit of pride.
"No way, is it really true? If that's the case, that would be great!"
"Yes, King Lu Yan, get out of here!"
"..."
For a moment, they couldn't help but become excited. This news couldn't be too good for them.
Seeing that they were happy, Xia Deyi reminded them: "But now King Lu Yan is still the Governor of Xuanda. I remind you that if anyone hates him before he gets out, he will be in trouble!"
"Yes, during this period of time, we can only behave with our tail between our legs, otherwise, we may become his punching bag!"
"Yes, yes, remember, you can do whatever King Lu Yan asks you to do. Just be patient. I believe Mr. Chen will definitely think that we are having a hard time."
"..."
While they were discussing, suddenly a bodyguard of Lu Xiangsheng strode out from the door of the Governor's Mansion, looked at them and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, all the generals will come into the hall to listen to the order!"
Upon hearing this, these people immediately stopped their discussion, reminded each other with their eyes, gathered their minds, and entered in an orderly manner.
However, when he arrived at the second door, he was stopped by the soldiers on duty at the door: "No one is allowed to bring weapons in!"
Hearing this, these people were stunned again. This was not the case in the past, and everyone was allowed to carry swords with them.
It was Xia Deyi who winked at them and then took the lead to take off his sword before they could enter.
When the others saw it, they all followed suit. They all took off their weapons and handed them over to Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards before entering.
In the lobby inside, Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards were lined up on both sides, and Lu Xiangsheng himself was already sitting in the main seat.
Seeing this situation, these people did not dare to neglect, and immediately stepped forward, cupped their fists, and said in salute: "See you, Lord Governor!"
In response, Lu Xiangsheng did not respond at all. He just stood up, held an imperial edict in both hands and said: "Generals, accept the edict!"
When these people heard this, they must have decided to appoint King Lu Yan as the Governor-General of Xuanda, right? Then, King Lu Yan lectured them as usual. Apart from that, there should be nothing else.
With this in mind, they immediately knelt down on one knee and prepared to receive the order.
