Chapter 317 The imperial decree is here!
In Dengzhou Water City, Wang Jingwen took Wang Jin and dozens of generals and schoolmen from Qingzhou and Laizhou Navy. At this time, his face was deep, his head was lowered, and he stood in a row on the dock of the Water City, waiting for Li Jing to come and receive surrender.
The crowd had read the letter sent by Li Jing just now, which was indeed a letter from Wang Jingwu. Moreover, the letter was a bloody letter, which shows how embarrassed Wang Jingwu was when he wrote this letter. They had heard the news from the Qingzhou fast horse. Wang Jingwu and others took action first, but they failed to keep Song Wei and others. Li Jing led the Eastern Army of Zhendong to arrive, defeated the Qingzhou soldiers and Ziqi soldiers, and recaptured Qingzhou City. Moreover, Li Jing only pursued the army of Zhendong, defeated the Qingziqi soldiers and horses in Zibo River, killing three thousand soldiers and capturing three thousand soldiers, and the Zibo River was brightly red.
If possible, Wang Jingwen would have wanted to step forward and tear Li Jing apart. If it weren't for Li Jing's intervention, he would have brought two hundred jingshen flying 300 miles into Qingzhou, and he would have guessed Wang Jingwu's plan first and told Song Wei. He then used a fierce move to counterattack. How could Song Wei escape? How could the matter fail? And later, the person who opened Qingzhou City for the inner support was Li Jing's mother tribe Han family. The defeat on the Zishui River was Li Jing's personal attack. Everything was because of Li Jing.
But what can he do now? Just last night, Wang Jingwu's secret envoy had already arrived in the Shuicheng and brought another handwritten letter from Wang Jingwu. In the letter, Wang Jingwu told him that with Li Jing in Dengzhou, the navy had no other way out. Moreover, if the Dengzhou navy could be exchanged for Li Jing's promise to stop sending troops to Ziqi, they would still have a chance. After surrender, Wang Jingwu could not guarantee whether Li Jing would really stop sending troops to Ziqi. But in the current situation, Li Jing finally retreated. If they dared to break their promises and surrender, Li Jing would not only easily destroy the navy, but also kill back to Ziqi. At that time, who could persuade Li Jing to withdraw his troops?
"The army envoy of Zhendong Army and General Li of Dengzhou Defense Commander arrived!" Zhao Jiang opened his throat and shouted loudly.
On a military ship that first landed, teams of soldiers jumped onto the dock, then quickly ran to the various parts of the dock, and immediately took over the dock. After the dock was taken over, several more ships landed on the dock, and more town-easters went ashore and began to take over the various parts of the water city, barracks, warehouses, etc. according to the established goals.
After a full hour passed, the Zhendong Army had completely controlled the entire water city, Li Jing's Yaolang slowly approached the dock under the escort of four iron-armored sea falcons and four boats.
Under the escort of the guards of the Silver Gun Camp, Li Jing climbed to the dock.
"Wang Jingwen led Qing, Lai and three naval divisions, a total of 5,000 horses to surrender to the general!" Although Wang Jingwen was unwilling to do so, he still knelt down in front of Li Jing with a surrendered general, and presented the general's seal, as well as the list of soldiers and the details of money and grain.
The Wang family, who was once high and above, has finally surrendered.
It was impossible for Li Jing to say that he was not excited at this moment, but he was just happy for a moment. The Wang family is no longer the Wang family he used to be. Although he still resisted in Zibo and Qi Prefectures, destruction was destined. Otherwise, Li Jing would not have kept Wang Jingwu's life, and would not have chosen to surrender rather than attack. For Li Jing, the Wang family is not worthy of his efforts at the moment. Even if he had to let them go, it would have nothing to do, because they were no longer worthy of being his opponent. If they were let go, they would not be able to make a fuss.
All five thousand soldiers and horses had been disarmed, put down their swords and weapons, and they all squatted on the dock, with black crows entering their heads.
The ceremony of surrender was very simple. Wang Jingwen and Wang Jin handed over official seals, as well as the list of soldiers, as well as various weapons, armor, money, grain, gold, etc. The soldiers just wore only one battle robe and left everything else. After inspection, they were taken to the prisoner-of-war camp.
Dengzhou Water City has a good family background. Although the Laizhou Navy and Qingzhou Navy did not bring any money, grain and other goods, their warship weapons and armor were also quite a lot of money. Five thousand horses were transferred to the horses, and there were nearly 10,000 sets of weapons and armor alone, and there were nearly 100 ships.
In addition to Li Jing and the officers in the middle and front wings, there were Liu Xun and Li Zhen. After Li Jing was recognized by Li Jing in Bochang City, they were detained by Li Jing. When they returned to the city, Li Jing talked with the two people in person. At first, they were unwilling to follow Dengzhou. However, how could Li Jing let these two people go? Li Zhen is known as one of the two men of the strategist of the Later Liang Dynasty. Although Liu Xun is a little younger, he is also the most wise general of the Later Liang Dynasty. Li Jing used a very simple trick to deal with them.
Li Jing told Li Zhen that he had already released the news, saying that Li Zhen and Liu Xun revealed Wang Jingwu's plan to Li Jing. Moreover, Li Jing also asked the two-enterprise family to bring their families to Dengzhou. Liu Xun's family was in Qingzhou. When Li Jing captured Qingzhou again, he found his family in the military camp. Although Li Zhen's family was in Chang'an, he also sent a letter to Zhang Chengye of Chang'an and asked him to bring Li Zhen's family.
Although this plan is a bit domineering, the effect is quite significant. Now that I have not joined the association, I believe that Li Jing guessed Wang Jingwu's plan, and I will only believe that Li Zhen and Liu Xun betrayed Wang Jingwu. In particular, Li Jing also made a special sound and released the news that his staff officer Li Liang was Li Zhen's consul, and he was even more determined to be the matter. Li Zhen could only smile bitterly in the end. As for Liu Xun, his family was taken by Li Jing, what else can he do?
What's more, Li Jing was also considered good. Li Jing directly appointed Li Zhen as the Sima of the Zhendong Army, and this position was much higher than that of Li Liang, who followed Li Jing earlier than him. In other words, the Zhendong Army had the greatest military staff, in addition to military envoys, deputy military envoys, and military supervisors. As soon as Li Jing came, he handed over such an important position to his small cavalry officer, which was already very important.
Regarding Liu Xun, because he is still young, Li Jing appointed him as the deputy ten generals of the Silver Gun Camp. Compared to his original personal general, he was promoted. What's more, he entered Li Jing's guard camp, which shows that he valued it.
In the end, both enrollment was impressed by Li Jing and joined the Zhendong Army. Seeing Li Jing's soldiers taking the Shuicheng without bloodshed, both enrollment was amazed by Li Jing. Li Jing was not proud of the victory in Qingzhou this time, but won the Shuicheng with the least loss. This is the wisest choice. Victory is not arrogant, and it is often more difficult to achieve than losing. What's more, Li Jing is just a young enrollment in his early twenties. This makes Li Zhen and Liu Xun feel no regrets about their decision to join Li Jing.
After the surrender ceremony, Li Jing moved the battalion of Nutao Camp to Shuicheng. The five thousand surrendered soldiers were sent to Qingni City and Beisha City, and they would be sent to Qingni City and Beisha City for a year of free labor and then refused. As for Wang Jingwen and other generals, Li Jing did not make things difficult for them. For Li Jing, if they let them go, they would never have the ability to take revenge on him in their lifetime. It would be better to let them go back to Wang Jingwu and add some congestion to Song Wei.
Until now, Song Wei has not handed over the position of governor of Dengzhou to him as promised, which has made Li Jing a little unhappy. If Li Jing wants to grow stronger, a conflict with Song Wei is inevitable. However, Li Jing is not willing to have too much conflict with Song Wei now, but Li Jing doesn't mind causing him some trouble appropriately.
Some things can be given up, but some things cannot be given up. Without the title of governor, Li Jing can truly control the territory of Dengzhou. The title of a defensive envoy alone is not enough, not to mention that Song Wen, the governor, also serves as the regiment training envoy, and the official position of commanding the troops of a state has not been removed. Now Li Jing and Song Wen are both military commanders of Dengzhou, so Li Jing cannot give up. Once he makes concessions, the defensive envoy is really worthless.
"We now have the Da Xie Islands and the Liaodong two cities, and our territory is already quite large. Are we too anxious to compete for the position of governor of Dengzhou?" Lin Wei has always been Li Jing's most trusted right-hand man. Seeing Li Jing talking to Song Xi like that just now, he said with some concern.
"If you should fight, you have to fight, and what should come will come." In Li Jing's current situation, it is inevitable that he will continue to walk on this road.
As Li Jing expected, what should come will always come. Song Xi was so angry that he was half-hearted by Li Jing's words that he did not stay to watch the surrender. He took a boat back to Dengzhou. When Song Wen and the generals said Li Jing's original words, he immediately felt a little ugly. Song Wen did not expect that Li Jing's wings were hard and he would immediately turn against him. And the other generals were all old-fashioned. Li Jing had no relationship with them before, and everyone was happy to see Li Jing making a fuss in the big Xie Fort. But now, Li Jing has become their boss in a blink of an eye. Now this junior actually only said a few words to make them surrender to Li Jing in the future, which made them not very satisfied with Li Jing's attitude.
"What is Li Jing? But he is still a new recruit. He actually wants to ride on me and shit, don't even think about it!" A general shouted loudly, and there were many people coming and going behind him.
Song Xi said: "The position of regiment training envoy who was the governor, was not removed. It was still the highest commander of the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou. Even if Li Jing was successful in quelling the rebellion and added a defensive envoy, what qualifications do he have to dare to openly compete for the power to command the army?"
"Let's go find him!"
"Yes, go find him!"
At that moment, Song Wen, who was extremely angry, took nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses under Dengzhou City and rushed straight to the Shuicheng with murderous intent.
Song Wen and others rushed to the water city, and Yi Ren shouted, "Li Jing comes out!"
Li Jing chuckled and led the generals of the Zhendong Army out of the camp: "Didn't this defense envoy agree that Ming Ri is the time for military discussions between generals and school officials in Dengzhou? Why is it coming now? Didn't General Song Xi bring the whole thing?" He deliberately pretended not to see Song Wen, but just led the other generals. At this time, the battle for military power is not the time to sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for sing for
Song Wen wanted to wait for Li Jing to explain to him personally, but Li Jing thought that he hadn't seen him, and his face turned red with anger. Song Wen blocked his whole body and pointed at Li Jing and said, "Li Jing, when the commander asked you to be a defensive envoy, is there any clear statement that from then on, all the troops of Dengzhou will be your subordinate?"
"The defensive envoy is in charge of the troops in a state, so what's the point?" Li Liang said on behalf of Li Jing.
"But the governor also serves as the regiment training envoy and is also in charge of the troops in a state. Don't you know this?" Song Xi also stood up and said loudly.
When the two sides entered the horses, the Zhendong Army naturally said that Li Jing was the defensive envoy, and then the troops in Dengzhou would be under the jurisdiction of Li Jing. However, the crowds in Dengzhou would rather let Song Wen, the regiment commander, than see Li Jing suddenly climbing up to their heads. In addition to Li Jing being too young, it was mainly because Song Wen represented the commander Song Wei. Now Song Wei has just defeated Wang Jingwu, and everyone knows who the boss of Ziqing Town is next. At this time, of course, we must follow Song Wei immediately instead of Li Jing.
Just as they were biting, a team of horses suddenly came from the dock.
The leader was about fifty-year-old eunuch, who was in a vague and beardless, but on his side was Zhang Chengye, a military supervisor who had been away from Dengzhou for a long time.
As soon as Zhang Chengye saw that the crowd was here, he whispered: "The imperial edict has arrived. Please send an envoy to read the imperial edict, and Li Jing will accept it!"
Song Wen and others were stunned for a moment, but they did not expect that there would be an imperial edict to Li Jing directly. They knelt down and welcomed the eunuch. They put down the incense table, and the eunuch read out the imperial edict. The decree was written in four or six, but the whole group understood the content of the imperial edict.
No one expected that the emperor would suddenly be appointed as the champion general of the third-rank general, from the third-rank General Jinwu, and the third-rank Zhendong Hou and the third-rank Anton Guardian. In addition, he agreed to the position of Zhendong Army envoy, Dengzhou Defense Envoy, whom Song Wen asked Li Jing to be appointed as the defensive envoy.
What happened? Why did Li Jing suddenly hear Yu Yaozi come forward and have been awarded so many official positions. No matter which position it is, the lowest is from the third rank.
In addition to Li Jing, all the people present were only in the third rank, and Li Jing was ranked above Song Wen. What's the point of the Dengzhou military command that had just fought for half-baked? Li Jing had the position of defense envoy, and now he was also appointed as the Marquis of Zhendong and the General of the Champion. What's more, he also appointed as the General of Jinwu. Although this was also a false title, this was the meaning of the Minister of Guards of Yaozi, not to mention that Li Jing also had an official position of Anton, which was much larger than his position as the governor.
Suddenly, Song Wen felt dizzy and never expected that Li Jing, who had begged him not to go to Qingzhou and asked him to help arrange an official position, suddenly turned into a dragon as soon as he entered the storm.
Li Jing was also a little dizzy, but he was happy and excited. He gave Zhang Chengye two million stag to the capital, although Zhang Chengye said he could help him get a title, but he never expected that he would be a marquis. What made Li Jing even happier was not only this marquis, but also the empty positions of the champion general and General Jinwu. What made him really happy was that the emperor actually wanted to rebuild the Anton Protectorate and let him be the Anton Protectorate.
