Nanming Engineer

Chapter 148 Kuizhou Commander-in-Chief
Wang Huan had already had a premonition in his heart, and was not very surprised by Qin Liangyu's arrangement to leave him alone. The other generals who were surprised were not named by the people of Longevity Valley at the award ceremony. , everyone looked confused, eager to hear what Qin Liangyu would say, but didn't dare, so they had to smile at Wang Huan friendly when passing by Wang Huan, or ask him in a low voice to set a date for a drink.

Even Qin Gongming and Qin Yiming were chased away by Qin Liangyu, and they walked out helplessly.

When there was no one else in the hall, the empty hall suddenly fell silent.

Wang Huan sat calmly, waiting for Qin Liangyu to speak.

Qin Liangyu leaned back on the chair wearily, closed her eyes and rested for a while, she was a little overwhelmed by what she had just said, and had to drink some tea to refresh her mind before she could continue.

Qin Liangyu at this time is much older than when Wang Huan and her first met a few months ago. What is old is not the body, but the spirit. Although Qin Liangyu at that time was also gray at the temples and dying, his spirit was still good. The eyes that look at people are still sharp and majestic, but now, they are gradually becoming similar to those of an ordinary old woman.

She waited for a while before opening her eyes, and slowly said to Wang Huan: "You and your people were not arranged for the reward just now, so is there any resentment?"

Wang Huan turned sideways to Qin Liangyu and said in a deep voice: "My foster mother has her own considerations. Wang Huan just obeys. There is no need to have any resentment."

Qin Liangyu sighed and said: "Rewards and punishments should be clearly defined based on merit. Those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. This is an iron law in the military. No one is allowed to violate it. Today, I did not abide by it."

She paused and then said: "Your contribution is greater than anyone else's. The strategy is determined by you, and it is also carried out by your people. The final battle will determine the success or failure, and it is also the soldiers you lead. The others are just a supporting role. It’s nothing more than a big banner beating the side drum, speaking of it, I shouldn’t be missing you, I’ve wronged you.”

Wang Huan quickly got up and knelt down, respectfully said: "Mother-in-law can't be like this, the child is right to think about the stone pillar, keeping the stone pillar is the same as keeping the Longevity Valley, there is no difference between public and private."

Qin Liangyu looked at him, and said softly: "Get up, you can take it easy."

Wang Huan got up as ordered, and sat down again, but Qin Liangyu said again: "You don't care, what about your generals? What do they think? When soldiers fight, one is to eat the royal rations, and the other is to get more officials and ranks, so that they can work hard. Silver, if you don’t give rewards for winning a battle, no one will work for you next time. After you go down, you should share some of the silver mine’s income and distribute it to those who have made meritorious deeds.”

Wang Huan said: "My child understands."

Qin Liangyu praised: "Okay, I know you care about your subordinates, and you have erected a stone monument at the gate of Longevity City. This is a good idea. Everyone knows that fighting for you will not worry about the future, but the pension is a bit high. You have to be careful." .”

Wang Huan smiled. He knew that this was Qin Liangyu teaching him the art of imperial control. He responded gratefully: "I will follow the teachings of my adoptive mother. But don't worry, my adopted mother, there are many ways to make money. There are many children. If the output of the silver mine is not enough in the future, Well, there are other good strategies."

Qin Liangyu also smiled happily and said: "I know you have a lot of ideas, and you can be a general in troubled times. To become a hero, two things are indispensable. One is money, and the other is people. Generally speaking, it is territory. Now you are not short of money. There are a lot of people, but there is a lack of space.”

Wang Huan was startled when he heard that, as if a sharp knife was on his neck, cold sweat came out on his forehead, what do you mean?This is wrong!

He hurriedly tried to defend himself, but Qin Liangyu interrupted him with a smile as soon as he said "benevolent mother".

"Huan'er don't worry, I have no other intentions, I know what you're afraid of, do you think I'm such a narrow-minded person? So what if I send you this stone pillar comforter?"

She waved her hand to signal Wang Huan to listen carefully and not to speak in a hurry.

"To be honest, I have thought about it this way. Now, of my two nephews, Qin Yiming is more careful than courageous. He is not a general. Qin Gongming is a reckless man and cannot be promoted. As for Nian'er, alas!"

She sighed heavily, and didn't talk about Ma Wannian at all, and continued the topic directly: "Only you, Huan'er, when I first saw you, I knew you were not someone in the pool. You are also knowledgeable about the past and the present, as if nothing can trouble you, such a hero, it is my great blessing."

"It's a pity that I'm old and I can't lift you up, and the position of the stone pillar consolation envoy is inherited from my husband's family. It can't be passed on to others except for my age, so I can't transfer this position to you. You Do you understand?"

Wang Huan finally caught an opportunity, and hurriedly said with a blank face: "It's only natural, mother-in-law, and the child never thought of getting this position."

Qin Liangyu looked at Wang Huan's anxious look, and said with a smile: "Huan'er, who is so bold, why did he lose his composure like this? Don't worry, I'm not blaming you, but I feel too guilty for you. I can't give you this official position, and the money is not as good as you. What is it for? Huan'er, do you know that this old man has been thinking about this question for a whole night."

Qin Liangyu was kind-hearted, and he didn't look like he was inquiring about crimes. This made Wang Huan feel at ease immediately. At first, he thought that Qin Liangyu mistakenly thought that he wanted to seize power and fight for the position of comfort envoy. If so, he would be killed unjustly. Ma Wannian can only be the comfort envoy. This is the law of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can snatch it unless Qin Liangyu and Ma Wannian are killed.

But it's good to talk about it, Wang Huan's heart fell to the ground, and his thinking immediately became active. Just when he was about to say a few words, Qin Liangyu spoke again.

"After much deliberation, I finally decided, Huan'er, although I can't give you the official position of the Consolation Envoy, I can give you the official position of the General Soldier. I still have the seal of the Sichuan General Soldier of the Ming Dynasty on my old body, and the blank appointment of Emperor Hongguang There are still a few copies of the edict, fill in your name, and you will have a status, and it will be much more convenient to recruit soldiers and horses, raise flags and gather talents in the future."

These short words were like spring thunder, so shocking that Wang Huan almost forgot to blink.

Commander?Qin Liangyu wants to make himself the chief soldier?

This is not a matter of going up three levels in a row, but going up more than a dozen levels in a row, which is faster than riding a rocket!

Many warriors spent their entire lives in poverty, and when they reached the capital of Qianzong, they would be at the end of their lives. They could not even be named generals. Moreover, the generals in the late Ming Dynasty were even more ostentatious than local governors. They could be taxed, recruited, appointed or dismissed. Officials can manage prisons. In a word, on their own territory, no one dares to control you. Governors and important ministers must be polite when they see them, and they are afraid of offending you. That is the emperor, God!
Qin Liangyu still hadn't recovered from his thoughts, and Qin Liangyu was still talking: "The old man is ordered by the emperor, and there is an imperial edict. It is feasible to appoint a general soldier, but this official position is easy, but the land is hard to come by. You have to do your best. Fight, Shizhu can help you, you can just ask, there is nothing that cannot be given to you."

"I've also thought about the name of the commander-in-chief. Let's just call it the commander-in-chief of Kuizhou and use Longevity City as the garrison. Anyway, Tan Wen has already been taken down by you. You only need a little effort to take down Fengjie." , Fengjie is in the bag, what's the problem with the whole government of Kuizhou? At that time, your title of Chief Soldier of Kuizhou can be said to be well-deserved."
