Liu Daxia did not bother with Xie Qian too much about the prince's departure from the palace, and said directly: "Yu Qiao, you should mention Shen Jialang more. He has been an official for most of the years, so he is inevitably impatient and arrogant. It is better for you to live in the capital for a long time and be indifferent to the world..."

Xie Qian couldn't help but look at Liu Daxia with a little impatient look on his face: "You don't need to remind you of these words... Do you know how to estimate them in my heart? Is there nothing else to talk about except warning?"

Liu Daxia smiled and said, "What else can I do? I just want you to mention Shen Jialang more... He was successful at a young age and had a prosperous career. Except for you thanking Yu Qiao, he may not be willing to listen to others' words."

"The command of the military affairs of the six provinces is not a joke. Who knows whether he can save himself or herself? Only Ming defeats Yun? Zhang Yong and Liu Jin cannot control him before. Now even if he serves as a military supervisor, he is mostly like a puppet. All the things in the military can be said to be out of his own. With great power, his heart will be swelled accordingly. If it is difficult to control..."

"Enough!"

Xie Qian interrupted Liu Daxia and said angrily: "Chan Xi has been honest and honest for the past few years. Since you are not at ease with him, why should you recommend him? Liu Shangshu, it's not too early, and you and I should go back to your house to rest. I say goodbye!"

Xie Qian has a deep affection for protecting his calf. Chen Xi is his grandson-in-law. How could he accept it if someone else maliciously slanders? In order to make Chen Xi achieve something in the future, he even did not hesitate to turn against his old friends Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others, let alone Liu Daxia, who had a very shallow relationship.

Liu Daxia looked at Xie Qian's back and shook his head and sighed. In his opinion, recommending Chen Xi was just to follow the emperor's wishes and was not the best choice.

But at the moment, it seems that only Chen Xi, who is good at leading the army, is most suitable for coordination. If it were someone else, he would be even more worried.

This is the so-called "two evils are the least of the right one", but no one knows whether such a choice is correct, and they can only rely on time to prove everything.

...

...

Chen Xi took over Wugang Prefecture City on July 22nd.

Then he spent another three days sending troops to sweep the villages and towns near Zhoucheng, confirming that the rebels retreated into northern Guangxi through the city, and the other way crossed Miaoshan and retreated to Suining County, Jingzhou through the mountain pass.

Just as Shen Xi dispatched two thousand households in Baoqingwei to guard the mountain pass, blocking the rebels' road to advance eastward, and preparing to send troops to Jingzhou to pacify the war in Huguang first. He learned that he was promoted to the Left Censor, and was appointed as the Minister of War, and was in charge of the troops of the six southwestern provinces.

It is July 26th.

The court sent letters 800 miles a day on the post road, and passed the latest decision of the court to Wugang Prefecture where Chen Xi was located. Chen Xi was instantly promoted to the governor of six provinces. Although he was only responsible for military affairs, all the troops in the six provinces were under his control. He now had the most troops in the Ming Dynasty.

In the central army tent, Chen Xi saw the emperor's imperial edict and the commanding army at the same time, and he was a little awkward for a moment. He knew very well how eye-catching he was now... The Chinese official group of the court had specifically targeted him before, but now he was in the limelight. It was basically impossible to keep a low profile.

Wang He and Su Jingyang were both happy for Chen Xi and worried about their future.

Logically speaking, the greater the power of Chen Xi, the more likely they are to be valued and promoted as followers. As long as they make certain military achievements, Chen Xi can transfer them to key yamen such as the Nine Borders or the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and then they will be on the back of Chen Xi, with a worry-free future.

But they knew one thing more clearly: Chenxi controlled military affairs in the six provinces, which meant that more people came to curry favor with him.

Starting from today, the commanders of the six provinces and the generals of the commanders of the commanders of the commanders of the commanders of the commanders of the commanders of the capital will all regard Chen Xi as their ancestors. It is impossible for them to monopolize military merits.

But for the sake of face, Wang He said a lot of compliments to Su Jingyang. The disgusting level made Chen Xi feel upset for a while. He waved his hand and said:

"The plan to send troops tomorrow will not change. No matter what position the court has assigned, the only one is your own troops and horses. I will lead the army and never rely on a large number of people and powerful forces, but rely on elite troops to win. You can do your own job!"

This sentence seemed to be a reassurance, which made Wang He and Su Jingyang feel much better, but they were afraid that Chen Xi would just say it casually, because they knew how powerful Chen Xi was now. To put it bluntly, his breath might be shaken a few times in the six southwestern provinces, but Chen Xi was not the kind of official who liked the mean and conservative, and would have to struggle in the future.

Su Jingyang and Wang He received orders to return to their respective barracks to reorganize the troops. At this time, the people in Wugang Prefecture were deserted. Not only were the officials running away, but there were not many people left, so the army established a camp around the prefecture yamen.

In addition to asking Baoqingwei to send two thousand-household offices to guard the mountain pass, Chen Xi temporarily recruited four thousand-household offices of Hengzhouwei to station in Wugangzhou. He was afraid that after he led his troops to leave, the rebels from northern Guangxi would go north again and Wugangzhou would be lost again, so he could only transfer troops from the relatively safe garrison.

Four days ago, Ma Jiu was ordered by Chenxi, and took the documents of the Governor's Office and Huguang Dushi, and rode a fast horse to Hengzhou Prefecture to pass the order. In the afternoon of Shen, Ma Jiu finally returned, with the commander of Hengzhou's guards, commanding the commander, commanding the commander, commanding the Qianhu and the deputy Qianhu.

In the central army's tent, Ma Jiu introduced Chen Xi. He had seen 15 officers from Hengzhou Guard and had seen 10,000 households and above, and then solemnly instructed:

"I will lead troops to Jingzhou. I will not interfere too much in local affairs. In the future, the vassal yamen will recruit unemployed civil servants to come and take charge of the prefecture yamen to restore people's livelihood. You just need to cooperate well..."

The generals of Hengzhou Guard are timid, so how dare they have any opinions?

Although Chen Xi was worried that these people would oppress the local people who returned to his homeland, the military situation was urgent now, so he had to lead his troops west as soon as possible and didn't have much time to pay attention to local affairs.

Having seen the Hengzhou Guard General, Chen Xi returned to the prefecture yard and happened to meet a local gentry with a gift to congratulate him.

The promotion of Chen Xi to the Zuodu Censor is not an exciting news in the army, because in the minds of many ordinary soldiers who don’t know a single word, they cannot tell the difference between the Zuodu Censor and the Right Censor. They only know that Chen Xi is the supreme commander in the army and just obey the orders.

But in the eyes of local gentry, Chen Xi's promotion at this moment is definitely a matter worthy of writing. Chen Xi's promotion means greater power, more favored by the emperor, and a higher position in the court in the future...

Most gentry were attracted by the power of the country. The officials of this era were all vain officials. Generally, they would be moved to other places after a few years. The gentry controlled most of the local resources.

The gentry of Wugang Prefecture was well aware of the way to protect themselves. When the rebels attacked, most of them surrendered and sent a batch of money and grain to ensure safety. But when Chen Xi led his troops, the rebels retreated overnight. These gentry had a large amount of land and houses in the local area, so they naturally would not give up their homes. They immediately made things right and ate a pot of slurry to welcome the king's army.

First, when the government army entered the city, they organized and brought pigs, sheep, food and grass to reward them. Now, when they heard that Chen Xi was promoted, they gave him another gift of congratulations.

Even so, the local gentry was still trembling, fearing that Chen Xi would charge them for the crime of tyrants and confiscate them, and exterminate their families. Because Shen Xi is now the dominant family in six provinces, he has the final say in everything, and there will be no place to complain if he dies.

Once Chenxi left, local affairs fell into their hands, because when the vassal yamen determined that such minorities and Han people lived in a mixed place, they usually respected the opinions of local gentry.
