Chapter 243 The Statement of the Governor of Xuanfu

The sun still rises as usual, even though it's the New Year, it's still cold.

In the Fan Mansion in Xuanfu City, Fan Yongdou was in good health and well-maintained. After playing a set of Five Animals in the courtyard, he sat in the lobby to relax while two maids beat his shoulders and legs.

At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly pushed the door open in a hurry and came in. Before Fan Yongdou could scold him, he hurriedly reported: "Master, there is news from the general of the Xuanfu!"

The commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu had the greatest relationship with these Shanxi merchants, so when Fan Yongdou heard this, he immediately asked, "Who are they?"

"Qin Yiming, the deputy commander-in-chief of Shizhu Camp, has been transferred to the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu and is on his way now!" the housekeeper replied quickly.

When Fan Yongdou heard this, his brows suddenly wrinkled, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "How could it be him? What should I do?"

When the housekeeper heard this, he understood that the master was dissatisfied with this choice. In the past, the master could influence the selection of the general soldier through the people in the court, but now something happens in the court, and the people sent are not satisfactory.

With this in mind, he reported the news he heard again: "It is said that it was King Qin of Shizhuying who came to the capital. The emperor felt that Shizhuying was full of loyal people, so he transferred Qin Yiming to be the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. It is a kind of reward!"

"That's why I'm worried!" Fan Yongdou strode out and said to the housekeeper, "There is a blood feud between Shizhuying and Dajin. As for Qin Yiming, his father died in the Hunhe River. You said this Will it be beneficial to us if someone becomes the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu?"

"Then what should we do?" The steward was shocked after hearing this. He had the revenge of killing his father. "The Qin General Soldier is already on his way. He also sent an order to the commanders of the guards, as well as the generals, guerrillas, and garrison officers to come to the General Soldier. Gather at the mansion."

When Fan Yongdou heard this, he was slightly startled. He immediately stood up, turned to look at the housekeeper and asked, "Why? Do you have any explanation?"

"Yes, yes!" The steward quickly stopped to avoid bumping into the master, and then replied, "It was said that the generals were to appease the soldiers who had fled back. According to the imperial court's decree, no one's life was in hand, and after the decree was issued, there were no Anyone who commits another crime will be pardoned. He wants to revive the army!"

After hearing this, Fan Yongdou turned around and stepped forward again, nodding at the same time and saying: "I know this, but Qin Yiming acted so resolutely before Qin Yiming arrived. It seems to be really positive!"

After sighing for a while, Fan Yongdou ordered the housekeeper: "Go and notify the other seven families immediately and tell them not to take any action recently. Also, put the food and other materials under Zhongcheng's name as soon as possible. Even if Qin Yiming finds out, Even if he is jealous, he won’t dare to steal it.”

Whether it is food or iron and other supplies, these are the favorite things of these generals. If the governor of Xuanfu hadn't been able to suppress the commander-in-chief, there's no way that Qiu Ba would have robbed him.

After he finished his instructions, he followed up: "Prepare the car, I'm going to Zhongcheng."

Not long after, Fan Yongdou met Governor Guo Zhicong who greeted him with a smile at the governor's office of Xuanfu.

This Guo Zhicong was born in Puzhou, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province. He became a Jinshi in the 35th year of Wanli. In the second year of Chongzhen, he was awarded the title of governor of Xuanfu.

In the original history, it was he and the Jianlu army who came back from the attack on Lin Dan Khan and surrounded Xuanfu. Under the leadership of Shanxi merchants, they reached a private agreement. It was good for you, good for me, and good for everyone.

At this time, he had only been in office as governor of Xuanfu for just one year, and his wealth exceeded all before. Seeing Fan Yongdou this time was not just like seeing the financial owner, he naturally greeted him with a smile.

While drinking West Lake Longjing, they learned about Fan Yongdou's purpose while chatting. Guo Zhicong immediately smiled and said nonchalantly: "Brother Fan Xian, don't worry, he is just a martial artist, how can he turn the world upside down? He has a grudge against Dai Jin, but how can he still be with Qian?" Is there any grudge?"

As he spoke, he saw that Fan Yongdou still looked a little worried, so he put down his tea cup and continued to comfort him: "To lead troops in war these days, you must have servants on hand. Although Qin Yiming is leading the white-pole army, he is far away from the stone pillars. Don't he have another Looking for money and food to support his soldiers? This is inevitable."

At this point, he smiled and gestured with his hands: "You go ahead and hit him with money. If he is greedy, or still refuses to give face, I will come out to beat him, and even stumbling him will be easy. . If he still disobeys, we will find a reason to punish him and kick him out sooner or later. So, can you rest assured?"

Not to mention that the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu is the governor of Xuanfu. Even civilian officials can use many methods to embarrass generals. Fan Yongdou naturally understood this. Now after hearing Guo Zhicong's clear statement, he knew that last year's money was not given away in vain. He immediately said gratefully: "With Zhongcheng in Xuanfu, the people of Xuanfu will not be harmed by those evildoers. It is really a merit. It’s immeasurable, even the little people will remember it!”

Guo Zhicong was happy to hear this, and immediately expressed his position: "When Qin Yiming arrives at the Xuan Mansion and pays homage to me, give him a warning first. In this way, when Brother Fan Xian communicates with him again, it will be much smoother."

When Fan Yongdou heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed. After some more pleasantries with Guo Zhicong, he said goodbye with satisfaction.

Although the unexpected arrival of the general of Xuanfu will cause a lot of troubles, it will be fine if it can be solved. With this in mind, Fan Yongdou informed the other seven families and the generals about the matter to reassure them.

It was almost noon the next day, and the weather turned out to be a rare cloudy day in recent months. As a result, even the little warmth that can be emitted in winter is blocked by the clouds, leaving only the cold north wind howling.

But even so, at the south gate of Xuanfu City, there were a large number of people waiting there regardless of the cold. Among them were gentry in mink coats and generals in armor. They talked in low voices from time to time in twos and threes, and seemed to have a good relationship.

Suddenly, a horse came galloping in the distance. When it got closer, it rolled off its saddle and dismounted and shouted loudly: "Coming, coming, the commander is coming!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped talking and turned their heads to look south.

Sure enough, there seemed to be movement on the distant horizon, and then we saw banners fluttering and dense forest of gun barrels.

As a result, the generals and gentry returned to their respective positions, and their differences were clear. Among them, Fan Yongdou, who was at the front of the gentry team, turned around and signaled to the steward behind him. Immediately, the steward ran back and urged: "Stop shrinking your head, come out with your spirit and play music!"

When he urged, the gongs, drums, suonas, etc. all started ringing, the sound was very loud and festive.

After the meeting, when you got closer, you could clearly see the white pole army coming from afar. The large number of them surprised the people who greeted them. As expected of Shizhu Chieftain, this family has a very strong foundation!

But Fan Yongdou was very happy. The more servants Qin Yiming brought, the greater the pressure for money and food would be. At that time, even if he has the revenge of killing his father, he must succumb to reality!
