Nanming Engineer

Chapter 187 Payable
Two days later, Wang Huan walked on the steps of the Fengjie government office. He galloped back, not because he was afraid of Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the three provinces, but because he had other plans.

Wang Yingxiong, a Jinshi during the Wanli period, served as a scholar of the Dongge University in the Chongzhen Dynasty, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and a party with Wen Tiren, the head of the cabinet. Later, he was defeated in the party struggle. A scholar of Yuange University, Minister of the Ministry of War, governor of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, dedicated to the suppression of Zhang Xianzhong.

However, although the official position was high, it was a false one. At this time, most of Sichuan was occupied by Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime, and Yunnan was cited as private land by the rebellious chieftain Sha Dingzhou. Even Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Guizhou, fled to Guangxi, let alone Wang Yingxiong.As a result, Wang Yingxiong, a high-ranking member of the imperial court, had no soldiers and no pay, so he had to hide in Zunyi, Guizhou, where the mountains were high and the mountains were deep.

Zeng Ying entered Sichuan from Huguang and regained the capital of eastern Sichuan, which Wang Yingxiong admired very much, and immediately sent people to buy him over. Zeng Ying was eager to find a backer in the court, and the two hit it off, supported each other, and formed a clique.Unexpectedly, Wang Huan rose up suddenly, and killed Zeng Ying with three attacks, five divisions and two divisions. Even Wang Yingxiong didn't react, and the Kuizhou soldiers occupied the three mansions in eastern Sichuan. Their military strength was very rare in the Ming army. Leaving aside the issue of fratricide within the Ming army, the combat power of the Kuizhou soldiers impressed Wang Yingxiong.

Wang Huan recalled the memory of Wang Yingxiong in his mind, and walked into the gate of the mansion.

Xu Tiezhu has already taken up his post in Fengjie, bringing with him a group of civil servants from the Shizhu Propaganda Envoy and the soldiers provided by Qin Liangyu. They are following Wang Huan's civil government and military system with great fanfare, reclaiming wasteland to cultivate fields, and recruiting refugees to resume business. The faction is thriving Even the dilapidated government office has been renovated, although it is not big, it looks like a government office.

Xu Tiezhu waited in front of the gate, followed Wang Huan, walked in with him, and reported to Wang Huan as he walked, "The messenger came a few days ago. I saw something wrong, so I sent someone to send it immediately." Here you are, Wang Yingxiong just arrived yesterday, he is very airy, he ignored me, he just said that he would wait for you to come, now I arrange for him to live in the back yamen courtyard, and serve him with good wine and good food every day."

Wang Huan nodded, approving without stopping: "That's right, this arrangement will do. Did he say anything?"

Xu Tiezhu shook his head: "I didn't say anything, I just sent some attendants to look around, and I stayed at home, drinking and reading in the government office."

Wang Huan frowned, and kept silent, under Xu Tiezhu's guidance.Pass through three halls, pass through six rooms, and go straight into the back office.

After entering the third hall, Wang Huan saw an old man wearing a blue round-neck Confucian shirt standing in front of the hall before he could climb the steps. He had a fluttering white beard and a dignified manner. The imposing manner is coming, even across the spacious yard can be clearly felt.

Xu Tiezhu had never seen such a big official before, even though Wang Yingxiong had already passed by, he was a little timid at this moment, obviously shrinking his neck, and paused for a while, but Wang Huan was striding forward, walking all the way with his head held high, his eyes fixed on the face of the old man, Look up and down.

Wang Yingxiong calculated his age and found that he was 55 years old this year. He had been tempered by many years of officialdom, and his eyes were so poisonous that he became sperm. When he received the news that Wang Huan had arrived, he immediately stood in front of the third hall to greet him. Firstly, he wanted to show his demeanor as a polite and virtuous corporal. , and the second is to take a good look at whether Wang Huan, who killed his favorite general, is really three-headed and six-armed.

The two had their own thoughts, one was walking like a tiger, the other was calm and calm, the four eyes were constantly rolling around, they slipped over each other's bodies and finally met.

Wang Yingxiong's eyes are slightly narrowed, with a cold light that is menacing, and his eyes are piercing and severe, but Wang Huan is unafraid. He came to this world and walked back and forth a few times, still afraid of your eyes?
Facing Wang Yingxiong's eyes, Wang Huan's eyes bulged, murderous look flashed between his brows, and he looked fiercely at Wang Yingxiong standing on the steps. He pressed the handle of the long knife at his waist with his hand, his gaze was like a tangible sword, and immediately turned the fierce Wang Yingxiong It was poked through.

Wang Yingxiong blinked twice, then swept left and right.

The yard is not big, Wang Huan walked quickly, and no one who followed noticed. At this moment, the two of them had passed a round of tricks. When Wang Huan came to the steps, Wang Yingxiong was already smiling all over his face, and walked down cordially , shouting again and again: "Hey, this must be Wang Huan, the general soldier of Kuizhou, right? Sure enough, a hero is born, a hero, a hero! I am hopeful for Ming Zhongxing!"

Wang Huan also smiled like a flower, and said in a timely manner with his hypocritical mouth: "Where is the governor, the governor has praised him for a long time. The general has been fascinated by the governor for a long time. I have no chance to meet him. I can't sleep at night. Food and drink are tasteless. See you today." Sansheng is lucky to be the governor!"

The two of them were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Wang Huan knelt down to pay homage. Before he could kneel down slowly, Wang Yingxiong hurriedly put his hands on Wang Huan's body and kept shouting. Wang Huan shed tears of gratitude. Tears, the two flattered each other again, trying their best to be hypocritical, then Wang Yingxiong took Wang Huan's hand and entered the hall together side by side.

The warm and friendly meeting made Xu Tiezhu and others who followed behind dumbfounded. They all knew that Mr. Wang was shrewd, but it was scary to be so thick-skinned. Meeting each other but hugging and celebrating each other is simply unacceptable.

Xu Tiezhu sighed, Mr. Wang is really not like ordinary people, following him, there is still a lot to learn.

Entering the hall, they were seated according to their official positions. Wang Yingxiong took the first seat, Wang Huan sat on the right side, and Xu Tiezhu sat at the bottom. The servants brought tea, and they both took a sip.

"When General Wang was in office, Lord Qin passed a copy of the imperial order to the governor. At that time, the governor wanted to go to Shizhu in person to meet General Wang. However, he was busy with military affairs, so he didn't come in time, and failed to block the general's glory. , The governor has always regarded it as a pity, and it is a great fortune to have my wish fulfilled today." Wang Yingxiong stroked the white beard on his chin, shook his head and said with a smile.

Wang Huan held back the nausea in his heart, put the teacup in his hand on the small table beside him, cupped his fists and said: "My lord governor has a heart, please forgive me for not reporting to the superior in time, because there are many thieves in the country, There are countless habitual bandits, rebels are rampant, and they will be exhausted at the end, so today I have the opportunity to meet and report to my lord."

Wang Yingxiong waved his hands and sighed: "The misfortune of the country is that there must be monsters rampant. Now the world is in chaos and the country is about to collapse. General Wang sticks to his post and protects the environment and the people. What is the crime? If the generals of the Ming Dynasty are as loyal as General Wang, Why worry about uncertainties? Alas, it’s a pity that there are too few talents like General Wang. The governor was ordered by the emperor to lead the army of the three provinces, but he has no talents to use, and now he has achieved very little. I feel ashamed.”

Speaking of this, he had a kind smile on his face and a kind light in his eyes, like an elder looking at a junior, or like a kind officer looking at his subordinates, and asked gently: "General Wang, I don't know what the current military strength is? Where is the thief Zeng Ying?"

Wang Huan's heart moved, and he secretly said: Here we go, it's time to get to the point!
