You have to kneel down on one knee.

Even though he has been promoted to the position of deputy commander-in-chief, according to his rank, as a governor, he is only a second-grade official. And Mangui, not counting other additional officers, is a governor-general of the left, which is a serious first-grade, which makes him big.

It's two levels, so there's nothing wrong with kneeling down for a while.

Of course, Man Gui was not so ignorant that he actually asked Wang Yan to kneel down. Halfway through, he stopped Wang Yan and said loudly: "What are you doing? We won such a battle this time and showed off the power of the Ming Dynasty. That is the real

Hero. If you do this again, won’t you be hurting me? Hahaha..."

Then Wang Yan followed Man Gui and the two of them to perform at the gate of the city, then led his soldiers into the city and followed Man Gui to the backyard of the general's mansion.

Seeing the large box containing twenty or thirty carriages, Man Gui's eyes widened: "Are these all the gains from this trip?"

Wang Yan nodded lightly: "More than 10,000."

"Hiss..." Even though he had known the general idea before, now that the facts were in front of him, Man Gui couldn't help but be speechless.

Wang Yan's victory report was very comprehensive, detailing how many people he had killed, how many heads he had beheaded, and how much he had lost in battle. There was no need to hide this, as it was a reflection of pure strength.

Man Gui inquired about the details of the battle, and Wang Yan dealt with it casually. After all, he really didn't have anything to say. He just bombarded with artillery. After that, the soldiers rushed up with guns in hand. What's the point?

That's right.

In this battle, all guns and cannons were completely exposed. It can be foreseen that there will be people who will covet the designation in the future. In the previous winter, when his flintlock rifle went into battle, Huang Taiji's side

I noticed it. It’s impossible that he doesn’t have this sense of precaution and confidentiality. He wants to conquer the world with just this little thing. How can it be so easy for others to succeed? He has killed many people in the past few months.

The most basic point is that the craftsmen, doctors, and so on who participate in confidential research have wives, children, and other family members under his protection, which reduces a lot of threats. As for financial temptations and other things, Wang Yan also gave a lot

, I don’t understand how they became master craftsmen at this point. Another thing is that a few master craftsmen betrayed, which has little impact on him, and they are all studied separately. If the master craftsmen who have an overview of the overall situation betray, then

Wang Yan should dig out his eyes.

And this is a complete set of industrial foundations. Without these, even the technology will be in vain. Wang Yan was only worried about simple flintlock guns before. Now his artillery is just left there for them to study at will, and it will not be used in the short term.

That's good. They don't have the most basic materials, so don't tell me more.

While talking, after taking a general look at the heads, Man Gui took Wang Yan to the central hall and sat down to drink tea. The positions did not change, with Man Gui still at the top and Wang Yan at the bottom. But the mentality was different. What he said before

Man Gui, who was very close, was sitting with Wang Yan drinking tea, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Wang Yan didn't care, he just sat there and drank tea leisurely.

After a long time, Mangui put down the tea cup and looked at Wang Yan with complicated eyes: "Have you really thought about it?"

"There is no turning back when I shoot my bow. At this point, do you think I still have a way out?"

Mangui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, there is no way out..."

Wang Yan put down the tea cup and stared at Man Gui calmly: "Bring all the family members over."

Man Gui nodded and said nothing. He knew that Wang Yan said this, leaving him no room to refuse. If you don't want to die, you have to be obedient. He has never thought about running away, because Zhu Youjian will not let him go.

.Jiannu, Mongolia has never thought about how sick he is? Wang Yan's attitude shows that he has no intention of touching him, and nothing will happen if he cooperates honestly.

Seeing him nodding, Wang Yan stood up and cupped his hands: "Sir, if nothing happens, Wang Yan will leave."

Mangui waved her hand lonely: "Go ahead..."

Wang Yan glanced at Man Gui, turned around and left with his head held high. From now on, he, General Wang, will be the eldest brother of Liaodong.

Three thousand soldiers stayed in the city, and a hundred of them served as guards for Man Gui. The rest cooperated with his younger brother here to control the troops and horses, and asked a group of Man Gui's men to march to the capital with their heads. Wang Yan followed a few

After talking to the civil and military officials in Ningyuan City, they killed another 1,800 people, and Ning Yuan easily succeeded.

After settling Ningyuan, Wang Yan returned to Jinzhou with 300 personal guards that night.

Although the methods are relatively crude, the hard power is there. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is impossible to fight, and it is impossible to escape. The only way is to surrender.

And the money Wang Yan has sent out in the past two years is no joke, it is really powerful. Without bragging, he has many people in Liaodong. Although it is impossible to have them all up and down, there are one or two in key positions.

There is no need to worry about big things happening. Of course, the most important thing is that his strength intimidatees people into keeping their word, otherwise there is nothing to do with just money.

The most important thing is that this is Liaodong, a place where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the influence of the imperial power is weak. Moreover, there is no Confucian orthodoxy involved, so the backlash is relatively small. If he sits on the dragon throne, it will be different.

The backlash from scholars at that time, or the backlash from Confucianism as a whole, was absolutely overwhelming.

These Ziwen people are really smart. They are always tough on their own people and always flattering to foreigners. As for Yan Shenggong, that's not to mention...

Tonight, Wang Yan slept with Wei Ting...

The next day, news of Wang Yan's victory in Guangning reached the capital again.

Zhu You calculated it and found that in the two battles of Liaozhong and Guangning, Wang Yan spent a total of less than 5,000 casualties in field battles and sieges, killing more than 30,000 people and taking prisoners, and made more than 30,000 slaves...

Not to mention now, even since the Wanli period, when Fushun was lost, until now, there has not been such a great result, such an outstanding record.

Jiannu chased them to beat him up, and Wang Yan chased Jiannu to beat them up. Why did he study Wang Yan? He studied a der.

There were small meetings with the cabinet and big discussions in court, but no results came out after a week. Instead, news came that Ning Yuan had secretly mutinied and changed hands.

After such a long time, the secret spies have also found out whether Wang Yan's two battles were true or false, and the result is that the actual situation is no different. Zhu Youjian now no longer even feels like scolding Wang Yan, but only feels deeply.

He felt so powerless that he really couldn't handle Wang Yan. Even Zhu Youjian felt that what the emperor did was meaningless. He couldn't even handle a border general...

Finally, another week passed before the outcome of the discussion was reached. He was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of Wang Yan, and promoted to General Longhu. He was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief and stationed in Jinzhou as usual. The son of Yin was hereditary to a thousand households and was rewarded with forty taels of silver.

Except for some Beijing officials, there are no fools who can go to the Forbidden City for meetings. Everyone knows what happened to Wang Yan. After all, the news was not timely and the wind was blowing, so he was still an official.

It can be said that the biggest foreign threat to the Ming Dynasty now is Wang Yan. Other slave establishments, Mongolia, and a bunch of small rubbish in the south are not effective. Now these people combined are not as big a threat as Wang Yan. This is a civil and military power of the Manchu Dynasty.

consensus.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight, it's that he really can't fight. If he had that ability, how could Wang Yan fight against Jiannu and rise to prominence in just two years? Jiannu would have been wiped out by them long ago.

This time, Wang Yan was promoted from the second rank to the first rank, but his position as deputy commander-in-chief remained unchanged. Although Wang Yan now controlled Mangui and was the eldest brother of Liaodong and the de facto commander-in-chief, they

Even if you don't admit it, this will give you an excuse to fall out in the future.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Jizhen, Xuanfu and Datong who had received the order to withdraw before continued to march and were stationed near Shanhaiguan. Sun Chengzong was reinstated as Shangshu of the Ministry of War, censor of Zuodu, and crown prince Taifu. He was given the sword Shangfang.

He was the commander of Ji and Liao, and also supervised Denglai, Tianjin military affairs, and knew Yongping Mansion. Why didn't the original king's ministers say anything, so he was just confused anyway.

As for the recaptured Guangning, Wang Yan wrote a letter requesting the dispatch of civil servants. Just send any one. They won't take them anyway. After all, there are so many people who are unsuccessful. The main reason is to give newcomers a chance to rise to the top...

It was already mid-April when Wang Yan received the news.

In the middle hall of the General's Mansion in Jinzhou, Wang Yan sat bored on a chair, looking at the eunuchs who were reading out the imperial edicts in front of him, thinking that these people were really good at playing, so they wouldn't give it in vain.

If he couldn't defeat him, he would give in. Liaodong saw that he couldn't keep it, so he sent it away directly, leaving him with a way to settle the score. Sun Chengzong's appointment was aimed at him. Sun Chengzong's territory was mainly in the northeastern part of today's Hebei Province.

That is, the large area from Qinhuangdao to Tangshan, where you have passed Shanhaiguan.

There are also 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses drawn from Jizhen, Xuanfu, and Datong. In addition, they also supervise the military affairs of Tianjin, which can mobilize the troops of the three guards of Tianjin. In addition, there are some people in Shanhaiguan who do not agree with Wang Yan.

There are more than 100,000 people. If the Ming Dynasty has a strong foundation, the total number of people in Liaodong and Yongning Prefecture alone is 300,000...

Except that the Governor Liaodong was in name only, he had a similar position to the original Governor Yuan. Of course, the ranks and cards were definitely different. Sun Chengzong was more than three levels higher than Yuan Chonghuan.
