Since the beginning of the meeting, Zhao Junchen has shown a vigorous and resolute attitude, constantly raising new topics. After each topic ends, he will immediately switch to the next topic for discussion, and each topic has detailed considerations and
Be prepared and you will come to a conclusion soon.
While everyone was still digesting the previous matter, Zhao Junchen had already started on the next topic.
"Let's talk about the Wang family's collaboration with the enemy!" At this point, Zhao Junchen's voice became colder: "Just yesterday, I sent 5,000 forbidden troops to Linzhao, Xi'an, and Yan'an to arrest the Wang family members.
Seize the Wang family's property, and after the arrest operation is over, all the Wang family's property will be used as military assets, and the trial of this case will be personally handled by Shaanxi Governor Zhang Shengde!"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, Zhang Shengde quickly stood up and accepted the order.
The trial of the Wang family is related to Zhao Junchen's revenge and establishment of authority, so Zhang Shengde naturally takes it seriously.
Then, Zhao Junchen turned his attention to several generals of the Huamachi Camp, and said: "In addition, the former commander-in-chief of the Huamachi Camp, Shi Song, was in cahoots with the Wang family, and has now been beheaded by this imperial envoy in accordance with the law, so this Huamachi Camp
The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Chi Camp was now vacant! According to the imperial envoy’s idea, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zheng Yu took over the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Huamachi Camp. In addition, General Qian Bao was promoted to Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Huamachi Camp.
, the garrison officer Bao Hongjie was promoted to the rank of staff general of Huamachi Camp, and the three of them are jointly responsible for all defense and security matters of Huamachi Camp!"
Just now, Zheng Yu, Qian Bao, and Bao Hongjie all handed over most of their private soldiers to Zhao Junchen. Although the number was not particularly large, they were full of sincerity and played a very good leading role, so
Zhao Junchen's decision was naturally a return favor to them!
Especially Zheng Yu, who was promoted from deputy commander-in-chief to commander-in-chief. It seemed that he was only promoted one level, but there was a huge gap between the two. There was a world of difference in status and authority.
Chief Soldier was already the highest position among the local military attachés in the Ming Dynasty. To be promoted to Chief Soldier, Deputy Chief Soldier not only required sufficient qualifications, military merit, and strength, but also background and luck. Without Zhao Junchen's deliberate promotion,
, Zheng Yu will probably have to stay in the position of deputy commander-in-chief for at least several years before he can be promoted further.
The commander-in-chief of Huamachi Camp is not only responsible for the defense of Huamachi Camp. The area of more than 200 miles at the junction of Yulin Military Town and Ningxia Military Town includes Ningxia Military Town East Road, two acropolis, and five thousand
The household offices and twenty-three forts are all under its jurisdiction. Even the salt affairs of Huamachi have the power to intervene. Among the Shaanxi-Gansu border troops, their status is second only to the general soldiers of the four towns!
Therefore, after hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, Zheng Yu was immediately overjoyed. He felt that his decision to please Zhao Junchen was the right one. He originally thought that Zhao Junchen would arrange for a close confidant to take over the position of the commander-in-chief of Huamachi Camp.
But he didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to him. It was obvious that his statement just now had an effect.
So, before everyone present could express their opinions, Zheng Yu knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Junchen and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Imperial Envoy, for your promotion and trust! From now on, you will be punished with death if you hold such a humble position!"
Zheng Yu has made similar statements three times in front of Zhao Junchen, but only this time he expressed it sincerely.
On the other side, although Qian Bao and Bao Hongjie did not gain as much as Zheng Yu, they were still promoted, and they quickly saluted Zhao Junchen and took orders, their words full of submission.
Seeing the statements of the three military attachés, Zhao Junchen nodded secretly.
The position of Huamachi Camp is crucial. Zhao Junchen promoted Zheng Yu and others this time not only to reciprocate the favor, but also because Zhao Junchen's foundation in the border army is too weak and there is really no suitable candidate among his confidants.
Zheng Yu and others were actually forced to do so.
However, if we can take the opportunity to gain the support of military attachés such as Zheng Yu, Qian Bao, and Bao Hongjie, it will be a good harvest. At least there will no longer be any hidden dangers within Huamachi Camp.

After the appointment was announced, Zhao Junchen discussed with various civil and military officials the arrangements for the defense of Shaanxi and Gansu and the dynamics of the Mongolian army. He carefully listened to everyone's ideas and suggestions. However, because he was not familiar with the situation and military affairs, Zhao Junchen did not
Making any specific arrangements still remains the same, but only further emphasizes one's determination to resist the enemy, urging everyone not to be negligent, let alone any fear of war.
By the time all the discussions were over, it was already approaching noon.
Seeing that everyone looked tired, Zhao Junchen finally announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Before adjourning the meeting, Zhao Junchen also announced that the internal martial law in Huamachi Camp had come to an end and that all civil and military officials had regained their freedom. He also urged Shaanxi Governor Zhang Shengde, Hedong Governor Wu Min, and Hexi Governor Zhang Wenhui to return to their respective places as soon as possible.
The jurisdiction controls the overall situation.
After the meeting, the civil and military officials left the lobby of the Governor's Mansion one after another. After this meeting, everyone got to know Zhao Junchen again.
Before that, most people thought that Zhao Junchen was just a corrupt official with good looks and good financial management, and he might not have any real abilities. However, Zhao Junchen first used thunderous means to seize control of Huamachi Camp and took over the three
Border Governor Wang Zheng's full authority and his swift and decisive action to eradicate the Wang family were enough to awe people, but Zhao Junchen's vision, methods, and determination during this meeting made everyone no longer want to
Don't dare to have any contempt.
Before that, when Wang Zheng was in charge of the overall situation of Shaanxi and Gansu, because of his somewhat indecisive personality, it often took several days of deliberation to decide on a matter. However, Zhao Junchen has just taken control of the overall situation now, and has already made a decision in the first meeting.
Decided on many important matters, not only initially established its absolute leadership position in Shaanxi-Gansu, but also issued a series of military orders, charting the general direction for the future of Shaanxi-Gansu border defense, stabilizing the situation and popular support, and using
Through various means, he gathered a new army of powerful soldiers, and also took the opportunity to gain the loyalty of the military attaches in the Huamachi Camp... Such a performance was not only far stronger than the current governor of the three sides, Wang Zheng, but even
Compared with the previous Trilateral Governor-General Liang Fuchen, at least he did not make too many concessions.
Although Zhao Junchen has no specific plans for the Shaanxi-Gansu border defense plan, after today's meeting, everyone believes that Zhao Junchen will make big moves sooner or later.
All in all, because Zhao Junchen is in charge of the overall situation, the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes in the future.
However, many people still have no idea whether this change is good or bad.

After most people left the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Junchen did not rest. Instead, he led a group of his confidants to the study room of the Governor's Mansion to continue discussing the follow-up plans.
Zhao Junchen now only controls the Huamachi Camp, and does not really control the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu. The threat of the Mongols still exists. If Zhao Junchen wants to truly make a difference, he still has a long way to go and needs to expend countless energy and effort.
In the study room of the Governor's Mansion, Shaanxi Governor Zhang Shengde, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Hong Gaogong, Baihu Mao Jiadong, Forbidden Army Commander Guan Wuyuan, Supervising Army Eunuch Li Ruan, Huamachi Camp Chief Soldier Zheng Yu and others gathered together.
These people are either Zhao Junchen's confidants, or have clearly expressed their intention to surrender, or they have the same interests as Zhao Junchen, so they can all be trusted in a short period of time!
Therefore, when facing them, Zhao Junchen's attitude was not as tough as before, and he did not have too many scruples when speaking. He did not need to go around in too many circles, nor did he need too many arguments and discussions, and the progress was extremely fast.
"Governor Zhang, I leave it to you to communicate with Guyuan Military Town! As long as Guyuan Military Town is willing to donate some of its private soldiers to be commanded by the Governor's Mansion, it will be easy for Gansu Military Town to handle it! In addition, you
The four great talents recommended yesterday should also be arranged to come to Huamachi camp as soon as possible to receive their orders... Also, after you return to Xi'an, you must pay attention to the relief matters for the victims. Shaanxi is the core area of Shaanxi and Gansu.
The population accounts for nearly 60%. As long as Shaanxi is not in chaos, the entire Shaanxi-Gansu rear area can remain stable..."
"Mao Baihu, after the new army of warriors is formed, you will be in charge of commanding it! Of course, your current official position is low, and you are suddenly allowed to control an army of 20,000 people, all of whom are unruly soldiers.
Son, I'm afraid it's difficult to control the situation, and many people will be dissatisfied. You are a royal guard, and I can't promote you to a military position... Well, I'll arrange for Commander Guan to command this new army of soldiers together with you.
On the surface, Commander Guan is the main commander, but you are still responsible for the specific matters... This new army is pieced together. If they are just sent to the battlefield, they may not be able to play any role, so
You must integrate this army as soon as possible!"
"Li Ru'an and Hong Qianhu, I will allocate you two thousand more forbidden troops, plus the Jingjun and Jinyi guards in your hands, and rush to all parts of Shaanxi and Gansu as soon as possible and stationed in various towns, roads, guards, and forts. There is no need to intervene.
However, it is necessary to collect detailed military information from various places and report it to Huamachi Camp as soon as possible to prevent the border troops from lying and concealing reports from happening again!"
"Commander Guan, you can't be idle. While you are training soldiers with Mao Baihu, the 50,000 forbidden troops will also be training together. We will take the opportunity to select 20,000 warriors who are good at fighting and brave, and hand them over to the Governor's Mansion for command!
Just relying on the new army of 20,000 elite border troops may not be enough to resist the two Mongolian armies. When necessary, your Forbidden Army soldiers will also be needed to coordinate operations!"
"Su Xiqing, from today on, you will be responsible for all the logistics, money, food, and accounts of the Governor's Mansion. The accountants in the Governor's Mansion are all Wang Zheng and Wang Gong's people. I don't trust them.
Only by controlling the logistics, money and food of the three sides in my own hands can I mobilize the strength of the border troops from various places!"
"Niu Fude, from today on, you will be responsible for all official correspondence and intelligence liaison between the Governor's Mansion and the border troops from various places! In addition, a military order will be issued immediately in the name of the Governor's Mansion to transfer Qi Bin's new army to Huamachi.
Battalion on standby!”
"General Zheng, after you leave the Governor's Mansion, you will go to the Forbidden Army to collect one hundred pairs of iron armor and two hundred pairs of cotton armor, and distribute them among the military attaches at Huamachi Camp. This will be my compensation to you! In addition, Huamachi Camp
You also need to be fully responsible for the defense of the battalion. This is the core of the entire Shaanxi-Gansu border defense, and there must be no room for failure!"
Because he didn't have too many scruples, and Zhao Junchen had a plan in mind, the order was issued very quickly. In just one stick of incense, everyone received their respective tasks.
Compared with the various discussions in the hall, this series of orders is more detailed and closely related to Zhao Junchen's future plans.
After hearing Zhao Junchen's order, everyone stood up and accepted the order.
In today's world of Shaanxi and Gansu, changes may occur at any time, and not a single second can be delayed. Zhao Junchen's vigorous and decisive approach makes it easier for people to trust him.

After everyone left, only Xu Qingyan was left in the study, and there were no outsiders. Zhao Junchen finally took off his cold and tough mask. After taking a long breath, he slumped against the back of the chair.
His expression was full of exhaustion, and his eyes were full of worry and stress.
Since taking control of the situation in Huamachi Camp, Zhao Junchen has always shown an attitude of being full of confidence and having wisdom, because Zhao Junchen is the backbone of the top management of Shaanxi and Gansu, and his every move affects the entire Shaanxi.
Gan Sanbian’s determination and belief! A person like Wang Zheng, who is so indecisive and suffering from three illnesses and five tuberculosis, will not only make people feel weak and easy to bully, but will also affect everyone’s confidence and morale.
But only Zhao Junchen himself knew that this time, he got away with it!
Different from the resolute and resolute appearance on the surface, Zhao Junchen was full of tension and worry deep in his heart.
Zhao Junchen originally thought that although this year's fire screening was more severe than in previous years, there was no essential difference. That's why Zhao Junchen laid all kinds of foreshadowings in secret and came to the northwest to preside over the overall situation in person!
In Zhao Junchen's original expectation, as long as he could lead the Shaanxi-Gansu border army to repel this year's Mongolian invasion, kill as many Mongolian Tatars as possible, and find a way to create a few great victories, he would be able to gain a lot of military glory and reputation.
, with these military achievements and reputation, Zhao Junchen will have more buffer time, and his plan to infiltrate military power will make great progress!
However, after arriving in the northwest, Zhao Junchen discovered that the situation was completely different from what he had expected. The threat from the Mongols was far greater than he originally imagined, and it would be much more difficult to gain military glory and reputation than he imagined! Once it was
If the war fails, Zhao Junchen will even become the biggest scapegoat. Not only will he lose all the water in the bamboo basket, but he will even steal the chicken but lose the rice!
Therefore, Zhao Junchen was naturally under great pressure.
In fact, Zhao Junchen still has some hesitations in his heart. Now he is just taking one step at a time to figure out how to repel the Mongolian army. Zhao Junchen only has a rough idea so far, but whether this method can be successful, Zhao Junchen still has doubts in his heart.
There is no confidence whatsoever.
So, after everyone left, Zhao Junchen took off his disguise and fell into deep thought again.
Seeing Zhao Junchen's change, Xu Qingyan's expression was a little complicated, but he didn't say much. He just brought a cup of tea to Zhao Junchen and silently placed it in Zhao Junchen's hand.
And just when Zhao Junchen was hesitant, the deputy imperial envoy Bao Wenjie finally rushed back to the center of the capital, and Emperor Deqing in the Forbidden City finally learned the truth about the situation in the northwest!
