Shanxi, Datong.

As soon as the Central Army passed Futuyu, Wang Pu received Zhao Liujin's express delivery.

After reading Zhao Liujin's letter in a hurry, Wang Pu couldn't help but smile, and Liu Qingyan next to him asked in a charming voice: "Master, how are you?"

"Zhao Liujin has finished his work." Wang Pu smiled, "The Guanning Army collectively surrendered, and Wu Sangui was captured alive. She was beautiful, and she did a pretty job."

"Hehe." Liu Qingyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "I have said it long ago that Wu Sangui can't escape."

"Wu Sangui." Wang Pu nodded and said viciously, "I finally caught this doggyman."

Liu Qingyan asked in a charming voice: "Prince, what are you going to deal with him?"

"That's more," Wang Pu said murderously, "Skinning and cramping grass to make human skin lanterns. I want everyone in the world to know that being a traitor will not end well!"

Five days later, Wang Pu and Liu Rushi's Central Army arrived in Taiyuan almost at the same time.

At this time, Taiyuan was completely under Zhao Liujin's control. Upon hearing the arrival of the Central Army, Zhao Liujin quickly led the senior generals of the Guanning Army and the Shilin squire in Taiyuan City to come out of the city to greet him.

Of course, the most exciting one is the Shanxi merchants in Taiyuan City. You should know that the Wang family was originally the richest man in Shanxi. This time, Wang Pu returned home in glory and became the supreme commander of the Central Army of the Ming Empire. He could still treat the former Shanxi fellow villagers unfairly? These profit-oriented businessmen have begun to look forward to a bright future.

But to be honest, Wang Pu did not intend to treat his fellow Shanxi people unfairly. Wang Ju and Wang Hua also returned to Shanxi together with Wang Pu. The two brothers returned to Shanxi this time for two purposes. One is of course to help Wang Pu stabilize the situation in Shanxi and help the people of Shanxi resume production as soon as possible, and the other is to revitalize Shanxi's commerce.

Speaking of which, the Shanxi merchants were considered veteran merchants in the Ming Dynasty. As early as the Yongle Dynasty, the Shanxi merchants had already started to trade with the court. At that time, Emperor Yongle fought against the desert for five times. Most of the food and forage needed by the Shanxi merchants were organized by the Shanxi merchants. Later, the border troops in Datong, Yulin, Gansu and Guyuan had closer transactions with the Shanxi merchants.

The Ming Dynasty bandits are not yet settled and are in trouble, but Wang Pu's eyes have been looking at several years, decades later!

With the implementation of the order to kill Hu, with the strong support of the Ming Dynasty and the Central Army, the development of the northern cowboys in the north will inevitably be vigorously launched. Due to its unique geographical convenience advantages, Shanxi will inevitably become a trade transit hub in the development of the northern region.

On the one hand, weapons, ammunition, iron, silk, tea, porcelain, salt and other goods in the south must be transported to the north through Shanxi to supply cowboys who are working hard there. On the other hand, the livestock, fur and grain produced by cowboys in the north must also be sold to the south through Shanxi. It is completely foreseeable that in the near future, Shanxi's commercial trade will flourish!

However, there is no hurry to do these things. The first major thing that Wang Pu wants to do now is to reorganize the government agencies in Shanxi. The appointment of officials from all prefectures and counties in Shanxi Province is actually not important. There are many people in Donglin Fushe, and they can easily select a few hundred people to come to Shanxi to be prefects and magistrates. The most important thing is the candidates for the governor and admiral of Shanxi.

In fact, there is no suspense about the candidate for the governor. Whether it is people's expectations, ability, or familiarity with Shanxi, Zhao Liujin is the most suitable candidate. Wang Pu has also determined that Zhao Liujin is not good at leading troops to fight, but he is definitely a good candidate for political work.

Shanxi is now full of scars and people are living in poverty. In such a dilapidated province, it is impossible to send He Tengjiao a good official who only wants to do practical things for the people. What Shanxi urgently needs most now is a capable and skilled governor! Although Zhao Liujin is a sleek and versatile person, he is definitely a capable and skilled person, and can be regarded as the best candidate for the governor of Shanxi.

Of course, Zhao Liujin is not very good-looking and has a capricious personality. Now he is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and join the court again because the Ming Dynasty has become strong. If the Ming Dynasty does not have a revival in the future, or if Jiannu is in the world, Wang Pu believes that Zhao Liujin will definitely become a slave of Jiannu.

Therefore, the candidates for the Shanxi admiral are particularly important.

Wang Pu repeatedly screened the confidants such as Scarface, Monk Zhang, Tang Sheng, and Zhao Xin several times, but he did not find anyone more suitable for this position.

Scarface is loyal to Wang Pu, but he likes fishing and is also loyal to monk Zhang. However, he is too honest and loyal. Tang Sheng likes to drink and speaks big talk. Zhao Xin likes to show off and likes to be famous. With Zhao Liujin's skills, he can easily control them as long as he likes his preferences. Wang Pu does not want Zhao Liujin to become the local emperor of Shanxi.

Wang Pu had originally appointed Hong Niangzi as the admiral of Shanxi, but this was only temporary, and Wang Pu was reluctant to leave the delicate Hong Niangzi alone in Shanxi. In his heart, Wang Pu had already regarded Hong Niangzi as his woman. Since he was his woman, how could he throw her alone in Shanxi?

Liu Qingyan inserted his slender jade finger into Wang Pu's hairline, gently stroked the man's scalp, and asked softly: "Master, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking..." Wang Pu moaned comfortably and whispered, "Who should I be the admiral of Shanxi?"

"Hasn't you decided to be the queen?" Liu Qingyan said charmingly, "Why, can't bear it again?"

Wang Pu smiled bitterly and said, "She is a woman after all."

"What's wrong with a woman?" Liu Qingyan said angrily, "Isn't Qin Liangyu also a woman? She is not her general? And the girl is not a woman. She was also a woman. She was also a good person when she was the commander of the enemy last year. I saw that the generals of the Central Army were very impressed by her."

"Inappropriate." Wang Pu shook his head, "It's still inappropriate."

Liu Qingyan blinked her beautiful eyes and suddenly said, "Master, I have someone to choose."

"Oh?" Wang Pu said happily, "Tell me."

Liu Qingyan said: "What do you think of Zheng Chenggong?"

"Zheng Chenggong?" Wang Pu pondered, "hiss... this is really a personal choice."

Although Zheng Chenggong was young, he was now in the high position of General General of the Central Army. It was completely reasonable to be promoted to the admiral of Shanxi for his merits. No one in the army would object to the soldiers! More importantly, Zheng Chenggong was a righteous person and a young officer who had received regular education in the military academy. He was not like Scarface, Li Chengdong and others in the old army of the Ming Dynasty. Such young people had a radical mind and were difficult to pee in the same pot as old bureaucrats like Zhao Liujin.

Also, Zheng Chenggong is Zheng Zhilong’s eldest son!
