The war in Laizhou was in full swing, but in the other direction, Luzhou had already entered the rhythm of the New Year. After the death of the Luzhou County Governor Yi Hongyuan, the entire territory of Laizhou was immediately captured by the Ming army, and the remaining Qi army fled to Xuan'en County. Where, Guo Xiancheng was sadly gathering the remaining soldiers and began to withdraw to Huangzhou.

Retreat to Huangzhou is not the end. Guo Xiancheng's ultimate goal is to continue to retreat with great strides until Daling River. Neither Huangzhou nor Jianzhou could organize an effective defense line. Guo Xiancheng did not want to compete with the Ming army in such a flat area and a big opening and closing place. That would only make the Qi army defeated faster.

But this retreat was to retreat hundreds of miles towards Qi's confidant. The Ming army had already penetrated deep into Qi's confidant. It was less than two hundred miles away from Qi's capital Chang'an. At this distance, the Ming people could already directly threaten Chang'an. In other words, along the Daling River, it could already be regarded as Chang'an's outer line of defense.

Guo Xiancheng's only hope now is that Laizhou and Changning County can withstand the attacks of the Ming people. In this way, the Ming army set out from Kunling County would not dare to march forward significantly, so as not to form a state of solitary army.

This is also the reason why Guo Xiancheng retreated sharply. It seems that he gave up hundreds of miles of depth, but the Ming army would not follow his steps and gain enough time for the Qi army to re-arrange the defense line on the banks of the Daling River.

The arrival of Qin Feng and Min Ruoxi greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army who had already entered Luzhou. With Qin Feng arrived together, there were five thousand fire death camp reinforcements led by Fan Chang and countless reward supplies. In the midst of the sad fog of Xuan Enqi people, Luzhou was decorated with lights and colorful lights and began to celebrate the New Year in a lively manner.

"All officers and soldiers in Kunling War Zone will each receive ten taels of silver, five kilograms of meat, one kilogram of wine, and half a kilogram of sugar." Eunuch Le dragged his tone and recited the reward materials on the list one by one. The generals in the tent were all happy. The supplies transported from the local area were almost all-encompassing. Although it was not many people's turn, there were more than 100,000 soldiers in the Kunling War Zone. It was also a huge expense when counting the general account.

"Your Majesty has caused me a big problem." Murong Yuan, the governor of Kunling County, pretended to be frowning, pretended to be frowning: "The reward from the court was only to the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line, but the entire Kunling also tried his best to do this war. From me as the governor to ordinary people, they all had money and made great efforts. Now His Majesty has rewarded the army, but has not rewarded these people in the logistics direction. It seems that we have to make up this hole in our place."

While speaking, he looked around the county magistrates of several surrounding counties. Although these county magistrates were not directly in the war zone like Kunling County, they were also controlled by the war zone during the war and needed to cooperate with each other. At this moment, when Murong Yuan took the lead, they nodded repeatedly.

Qin Feng laughed loudly and pointed at Murong Yuan and said, "What a kind and honest person, why did you become so slippery when you get to you? But you really know how to seize opportunities."

Murong Yuan also relied on his youth and smiled with a shy face: "Didn't Your Majesty say that knowledge changes destiny? Murong entrusted His Majesty to study since he was a child. After reading more books, he became more thorough."

"Look at this, the more you read, the more you become, the more clever you become. But it's useless to ask me for this matter, so you have to go find Su Can!" Qin Feng pointed at Su Can, the Ministry of Finance sitting at the seat, and said: "Whether the silver rewards I brought this time, they were raised by local merchants in the Ming Dynasty, but they did not follow the path of the Ministry of Finance. They are all clear. I don't want it, but I don't want it to find Su Can."

The spontaneous raising mentioned in Qin Feng's mouth is naturally not that simple. Over the past year, the giant merchants of the Ming Dynasty have obtained permission from the court, recruited many mercenaries independently, owned armed merchant ships, made a fortune overseas, and occupied a large amount of land. However, the merchants' profit-seeking nature further expanded their greed, which touched Qin Feng's bottom line. Although it was just a few words in slight words, it was like a bolt from the blue bombing above the heads of these giant merchants. In order to make Qin Feng understand, or to gain more support in the court, the giant merchants raised huge sums of money to the court, and of course the name was to reward the army.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty are now like local emperors overseas. They naturally don’t want to lose such treatment, but all of this they have comes from the acquiescence of the Ming court. If the court’s policies change, their current spring breeze will be proud, and they will probably blow away the rain and wind.

The merchant class who have gained benefits is naturally unwilling to lose everything they have now. Then it is natural to express his loyalty to the emperor that he is the best choice. Now, of course, it is to use money to support the emperor's war against Qi State, which is the most direct expression of allegiance.

Su Can looked at Murong Yuan with his eyes looking at him, and the other county magistrates also looked at him eagerly, coughed dryly, raised their glasses and said, "I don't have money."

Before he could finish his words, Murong Yuan smiled and said, "The Ministry of Finance of the Ming Dynasty has always been empty, and we know that we have not expected Minister Su to come up with real money and silver. But as long as Minister Su makes a secret and gives some policies, we will think of our own ways. Everyone's enthusiasm cannot be extinguished. This is the New Year, don't you think?"

Su Can chuckled: "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it."

Su Can did not refuse directly. Even if there was a way, Murong Yuan naturally would not force Su Can to express his opinion in front of the emperor's life. He also raised his glass to invite him. Many things naturally need to be communicated privately after the banquet. Su Can did not have real money, but he had a budget share and a policy. As long as he was slightly off, it would be enough to have enough food and drink at the place.

Qin Feng ignored Murong Yuan. This young man showed his strength. He did a good job in Kunling County with Zhou Jiyun, but he still needed to polish. Overall, he was the helper he prepared for his son. Now, he would rather work in the local area for a few more years, and then transfer it to the central department to spin. After more than ten years of hard work, it would be enough to take on the big responsibilities and coordinate the overall situation.

"I opened the mountain and called you back thousands of miles away, but I didn't have time to let you rest for a while, and I'm going to drive you into battle again." Qin Feng raised his glass to the official Feng Pu Chenchen who was headed by Zhou Jiyun.

Yue Kaishan and Zhou Jiyun's past partner, after Zhou Jiyun took over the power, was transferred by the court to the marginal Cenzhou as the county magistrate. After several years, Cenzhou, which was already poor, was governed into the western Jiangnan, and fulfilled his promise when he went to Cenzhou. Now, the Grand Canal runs through the entire western area, and not only Cenzhou is brought to life. The prefectures and counties along the canal are living a prosperous life with this east wind. This huge burden of the Ming Dynasty in the past will become another source of economic driving force for the Ming Dynasty in a few years.

Yue Kaishan made great contributions. With his contributions, he was more than enough to enter the center to rule. But he himself knew very well that as long as Zhou Jiyun still led the army, he would not have the chance to enter the center, or he would not usher in the spring of his political career until he destroyed Qi.

This time he was transferred back from Cenzhou, of course, because of the battle to destroy Qi, he also needed to be extremely familiar with the Qi area, and there were countless old people in Qi area, who were relatives and friends.

"Returning back to Qi as a victorious person is something I have always dreamed of over the years. I would like to thank Your Majesty for giving me this opportunity." Yue Kaishan stood up and bowed, his eyes showing a sharp look. His entire family, the whole family, were buried in that movement. He had a deep hatred for the royal family of Qi. After many years of Ming Dynasty, he vowed not to destroy Qi, so he would not marry and have children again. He would rather let the Yue family break the incense.

"Luzhou is a big province, and even a border province. For more than a hundred years, whether it is the former Chu or the Ming Dynasty, it has been in a state of war. Compared with other places, the people of Luzhou have a deeper hatred for us. It can be said that every household has died on the battlefield. Things are not easy to do here!" Qin Feng took a sip of wine. "From the current state, we can see that although the Qi army in Luzhou has been established, the bandits are constantly in danger. The army suppresses bandits by pressing the gourd, and even many places put down swords and guns and became bandits. They lifted up swords and guns and became bandits. These days, we have sent to receive local officials, and many people were attacked, and even death cases have occurred. It can be seen that the people here are so fierce. After you take office, your primary task is to appease the local area and promote the policies of our Ming Dynasty. You cannot stop killing."

Yue Kaishan nodded and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, the enemy of the Xiaguan is all in Chang'an City. How could these dull people vent their anger on them? Today, the Xiaguan promised His Majesty that in half a year, I will give His Majesty a Taiping Luzhou."

"I'll rest assured when you do things!" Qin Feng raised his glass with a loud laugh. "Come on, let's have a drink together."

That night, Luzhou was sleepless.

Although the war has just passed, those who survived the war are still planning to celebrate on the last day of the year, but the contents of the celebration are different.

The Ming army was celebrating the victory of the war, and the ordinary people were just glad that they survived.

In order to celebrate the arrival of His Majesty, Zhou Jiyun and Murong Yuan joined forces to prepare a grand fireworks performance. That night, Luzhou was a sky of fire trees and silver flowers. Even Min Ruoxi, who was used to seeing the big scenes, was full of joy and joy.
