The weather at the end of November is getting colder and colder.
Wang Qi still led the army and set off northward. This time he returned to the mainland of Qi. Wei Xun and Liu Jinyuan did not go north with them. After all, Wei Xun served as the state pastor of Nanzhou and Liu Jinyuan served as the state pastor of Beizhou. They had important responsibilities.
Although Wang Qi left, he left a large number of Qi troops behind.
Only in this way can the stability of Baixiang Kingdom and Satuo Kingdom be ensured. Now that the local government has just made changes, it is impossible to rely on rules and regulations. The army must also be in charge.
This is the long-term solution.
With military suppression and benevolent government policies, the people will gradually return to their hearts.
Before Wang Qi led the army northward, he also sent a letter to Lin Anshun, informing him of the next arrangements, asking Lin Anshun to continue to promote the reform in Xiangzhou and truly integrate Xiangzhou into Qi State as soon as possible.
Wang Qi is not worried about areas such as Xiangzhou, Beizhou, and Nanzhou.
After all, the army is here.
¡°Moreover, more and more immigrants from Qi State are coming to these places, and Qi State¡¯s strength and influence are increasing.
Wang Qi took Robert and Arthur and continued northward. After entering December, the weather in the Beizhou area has become further cold and harsh. Heavy snow has already fallen from the sky, and roads have been blocked by heavy snow, making it difficult to travel.
This caused great difficulties for the march of the army.
Wang Qi had no choice but to temporarily order a stop in Beizhou for rest and recuperation. Although it is possible to force the way, in such weather, the loss of soldiers will be great. Stopping to rest now can, on the one hand, allow the soldiers to recover and take a short rest. On the other hand, you can also learn more about the North State area.
During my stay in Wang Qi for more than a month, I gained a more detailed understanding of Beizhou.
In Beizhou, the environment is even worse.
Locally, it does not have as many geographical advantages as the south.
The only advantage of Beizhou is that it is rich in mineral resources. In addition, it is connected to the western regions of Qi State and to the far west.
This is a more important key area.
There are many businessmen traveling to and from Beizhou. Although it is barren and the environment is worse, people come and go, and commerce is relatively developed.
Wang Qi stayed in Beizhou for more than two months, waiting for spring to bloom in February before continuing northward. All the way north, everything went smoothly because Zhu Yuanshan was familiar with the road and he arranged for Qi soldiers to guard the passes along the way.
At the end of February, he returned to the Western Regions.
Today¡¯s Western Region has long been transformed. Railway tracks have even been laid in the area. The existence of railway tracks will further strengthen Qi State Chang'an's control over the local area.
However, it has not been used on a large scale yet because it is still being improved.
This is a good thing.
Once Qi¡¯s railway network was truly widespread, it was a success. In his years, Qi State's control over local areas was very meticulous.
Why it is not easy to suppress local rebellions in the past dynasties because suppression consumes money, food, and the trouble of marching the army. However, with the completion of the railway network, Qi State will have easy control over local areas.
It is possible to arrive in the morning and in the evening.
??Even, because of the railway network, the transportation of food and other commercial transshipments are easier.
These are all benefits.
Wang Qi is also satisfied with the reform and development of the Western Region.
Over the years, Wang Qi has been busy conquering the East and West. Fortunately, the cabinet was led by Zhu Shanchang, and the officials of the cabinet and the six ministries never caused any problems to Qi. On the contrary, it was prospering.
In mid-March, the army led by Wang Qi crossed the Western Regions and arrived in Liangzhou.
It is already closer to Chang'an.
When the news that Wang Qi entered Liangzhou and began to return reached the country, the whole court was in a state of excitement. Because Wang Qi went to sea this time, it took several years to go from the Japanese country to the small island on the sea, and then to the Baixiang Kingdom and the Satuo Kingdom.
This is extremely rare.
There is no emperor, he is always outside.
That is to say, everything in Qi State was created by Wang Qi. The most important thing is that Wang Qi is extremely powerful and powerful enough to suppress everything. In addition, Wang Zongxi is still there, many generals are stationed in their own places, and the sect administration is still there, so everything is stable.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhu Shanchang became excited when he received the news of Wang Qi's return.
Finally home.The emperor has been away and is finally coming back.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhu Shanchang had no constraints on everything even though the emperor was not around. However, he has always behaved respectfully without any overstep. So for him, it would be better for Wang Qi to come back, with less pressure on his shoulders.
Zhu Shanchang immediately arranged for someone to notify Lan Yu, Yuan Cang, Liu Zhengyuan and others to discuss the matter.
Everyone in the cabinet has arrived.
Zhu Shanchang looked around at the crowd and said slowly: "I have invited you all here because I have just received news from the spies. The army led by your Majesty has destroyed the Satu Kingdom and the Baixiang Kingdom. Now it has entered the Western Region with General Zhu Yuanshan and has entered the territory of Liangzhou. . I estimate that I will return to Chang'an soon."
As the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, Lan Yu perked up when he heard Zhu Shanchang¡¯s words and said with a smile: ¡°First Assistant, Your Majesty has returned, which is a good thing. This time, I have some ideas.¡±
Zhu Shanchang said: "What do you think, Lord Lan?"
Lan Yu said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, has entrusted us with important responsibilities. Under the leadership of Zhu Shoufu, the governance of the entire Qi State is also in order, and everything is going smoothly."
"It's just the state of Qi. After all, the emperor needs to be in charge. How can an emperor keep fighting outside. I believe that when your majesty returns, I should advise him and ask him not to send troops again."
¡°National affairs are the most important, and domestic affairs are the most important.¡±
"Especially, the territory of our State of Qi far exceeds that of previous dynasties. From the Western Regions to the coast of the East China Sea, I don't know how far it is tens of thousands of miles away. From north to south, I don't know how far it is."
Lan Yu looked solemn and said: "Today's Qi State is prospering. Such grand events are rare throughout the ages. This is why we should work more conscientiously. It is most appropriate for the emperor to stay in the court."
Yuan Cang nodded and said: "Zhu Shoufu, I also agree with Master Lan's opinion. Your Majesty is the Holy Son of Heaven, the founding king of the country, and has made great achievements. However, each generation has its own affairs, and each generation has its own tasks."
"You can't let your majesty, one generation have to do all the things for the descendants of the future. If that's the case, the descendants of the descendants of Da Qi will all be playboys if they have anything to do."
"What's more, everyone in the world knows that the territory of Qi State is constantly expanding. In fact, precisely because of Qi State's rapid development, it faces greater challenges. Therefore, at the moment, it is necessary to stabilize its pace and lay a solid foundation."
The governance of Qi State is already very complicated.
If you don¡¯t lay a solid foundation for the local government, you won¡¯t consolidate the foundation of Qi. No matter how tyrannical the Qi State is, if Wang Qi makes a mistake, Qi State will have problems.
Nowadays, Qi State also has problems of one kind or another, but Wang Qi is here and everything is stable.
So when Zhu Shanchang said it, everyone in the cabinet unanimously agreed. Everyone held the same opinion and believed that at the moment, Wang Qi should stay in the court temporarily and handle the government affairs of the court.
After Zhu Shanchang heard this, he stroked his beard and said: "Since all the princes support it, this matter has been decided. I will mention it to your Majesty when he returns."
Everybody said so.
Zhu Shanchang went on to talk about the rest of the welcome matters, as well as arranging for people to announce Wang Qi's triumphant return. Wang Qi returned in triumph and once again opened up territory for Qi State. This matter must be announced to the outside world.
This is a great joy for Qi State.
Zhu Shanchang arranged everything properly and everyone retreated. He also arranged for people to notify the queen, the imperial concubine, and the prince of the East Palace to let everyone know that Wang Qi had returned.
As the news fermented, time passed day by day, and April entered in the blink of an eye.
The weather is getting warmer.
? Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and everything is revived.
On this day, the sentinel quickly returned to the imperial city of Chang'an and informed Wang Qi of the triumphant return of his army. When Zhu Shanchang heard the news, he took all the officials from the DPRK and the Chinese government to greet him outside the west gate of Chang'an City in person.
The welcoming team was very large.
The State of Qi is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of officials in Chang'an is also increasing.
Hundreds of people gathered and the momentum was huge.
Zhu Shanchang, Lan Yu and others were at the front, and everyone was waiting quietly.
As the second assistant of the cabinet, Lan Yu has always stood on Zhu Shanchang's side and fully supported Zhu Shanchang's governance. It is precisely because of this that the cabinet's governance is very stable.
If there is a dispute between the first and second assistants of the cabinet and they have their own ideas, conflicts will easily arise in every aspect of governance.
Lan Yu smiled and said: "Master Chief Assistant, this time His Majesty comes back, do you think His Majesty will listen to the advice?"
"Will do."
Zhu Shanchang said solemnly: "Although His Majesty is the emperor, he is reasonable. What's more, the territory of Da Qi is already vast enough, and we need to slow down."
Lan Yu nodded solemnly.
"It's back, His Majesty's army is back."
Suddenly, loud shouts came out.
Someone discovered that a mighty army appeared in front of them.
Zhu Shanchang looked up and saw flying flags in the distance. A mighty army is advancing rapidly towards Chang'an City, getting closer and closer.
Wang Qi, you¡¯re back. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Lan Yu smiled and said: "Master Chief Assistant, this time His Majesty comes back, do you think His Majesty will listen to the advice?"
