As Qian Qianyi turned to Zhou Zheng for help, the cabinet's situation changed. Yang Sichang's attitude was ambiguous, and Li Banghua tried his best to remain neutral. If something really happened to the cabinet, Zhou Zheng was already in an advantage in terms of voting ratio.

In addition, the tacit understanding of the "Two Zhous" did not increase the cabinet ministers, Zhou Yanru's status was weakened to some extent.

Among the six ministries, Zhou Zheng had the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice of Zhou Yanru. In the local area, there were seven of Zhou Zheng, and in a large proportion, Zhou Zheng still had a relatively advantage.

Qian Qianyi left Beijing as agreed and went to Nanzhili. As he went there, it can be foreseeable that the situation in Nanzhili would change greatly.

Zhou Yanru was not idle either. He began to repair the government and sort out various relationships in order to "smooth government orders", concentrate and consolidate his power.

Li Banghua was not idle either. He was busy with things while he was busy with things and was quietly accumulating strength.

Yang Sichang traveled south and implemented military reforms. He went deep into every place, spared no effort, and did his best.

Zhou Zheng went north and went to Liaodong.

When entering Shanhaiguan, the General of Shanhaiguan was his old subordinate. Zhang Jinyuan, who was one year older than Zhou Zheng, came from the Three Guards of Tianjin. He was an old man adapted by Zhou Zheng and had been following Zhou Zheng for six or seven years.

Zhang Jinyuan responded to Zhou Zhengjing and said, "Sir, everything is ready. 15,000 people are waiting for you to review. Tomorrow, there will be a wild vertical puncture show, cavalry, infantry joint combat..."

Zhang Jinyuan knew Zhou Zheng’s temper and arranged it just right.

Zhou Zheng approached Shanhaiguan and said with some emotion: "It's only been so long since I left, I always feel like I've been away for many years."

Zhang Jinyuan grinned and said, "What adults do are big things, and they are busy all the time. Unlike the last general, they eat, drink and train soldiers every day."

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "Why, can't sit still?"

Zhang Jinyuan hurriedly bowed and said with care: "How dare I? But many old brothers have arrived north of the Linghe River and north of the Yalu River. I can't get wet in Shanhaiguan, and I feel a little sad."

Zhou Zheng's soldiers followed Zhou Zheng to fight north and south, especially some of the people who were very stupid. Last year, Zhang Yitan took advantage of the problem after drinking, but was sent to Nanzhili by Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng walked slowly with his hands behind his back, looking at Shanhaiguan and the soldiers standing in a row, nodded, and said, "Sharpening the knife will not stop chopping wood. Practice me well, and you will be able to perform."

Zhang Jinyuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Sir, is there any war?"

Zhou Zheng said: "I want to use troops to Korqin and completely eliminate Jianlu's arms."

Zhang Jinyuan looked solemn. He couldn't get this grand strategy, but he also understood that he had lost the frivolity he had just now and said, "Sir, are you going to go?"

Zhou Zheng nodded with the passing soldiers, and then said, "My Ming soldiers and elite soldiers are from Liaodong. Now that I have been scattered to the world, the only ones that can still be called are Liaodong. I will say hello to you first, be ready, and be at your disposal."

Zhang Jinyuan knelt on one knee suddenly and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order!"

Zhou Zheng kicked him immediately and said, "Don't give me this trick, it's not necessarily you."

Zhang Jinyuan immediately stood up with a smile and said, "There are no ones who keep their word when they speak. The soldiers are lined up, please."

Zhou Zheng smiled and shook his head, and went to the military parade.

Zhou Zheng rode his horse and passed by the front line. Looking at the formation and military appearance, he nodded secretly. Zhang Jinyuan did not disappoint him.

Stayed in Shanhaiguan for one night, and then practiced with the soldiers. The next night, he rushed to Ningyuan overnight.

The Ning Yuan guard general was Lu Xiangsheng's cousin, Lu Xiangguan.

Lu Xiangguan was very respectful to Zhou Zheng, and he was so enthusiastic.

Zhou Zheng carefully examined it according to the plan and nodded secretly. Lu Xiangsheng was very strict in his military management, but he was not that worried.

In the evening, Zhou Zheng and Lu Xiangguan and others sat in the hall, talking about a series of things in Liaodong.

There were bonfires outside, and all kinds of chatting sounds were heard one after another.

"Survey Xibo, that's a legend. He is a juren and is in the throne of the court, and he has never had the Ming Dynasty!"

"You tell me something we don't know about the Siberians, which one is not bad."

"Boy, then I will tell you something I don't know. Do you know our Governor General? He was framed and imprisoned by a traitorous minister. Everyone in the court dared to speak, but Zheng Xibo took the head to guarantee it, and then he released it. Do you know?"

"I really don't know what's going on?"

"Do you think why General Lu is so enthusiastic? It is because Zheng Xibo saved the Lu family. Do you know? Someone once asked our Governor to harm Zheng Xibo, and it was a great benefit. The Governor gave the person to Zheng Xibo without blinking. Do you know why? That was a friendship for life!"

"So that's it, is there any more? What else do you know?"

"What else do you know? I tell you that Zheng Xibo once said privately that if he retreats in the future, this Zheng Xibo is the governor..."

"Seriously? No wonder our Governor listened to Xibo's words so much. It turns out that there is still this relationship..."

Lu Xiangtong happened to pass by now. When he heard these people talking, his face turned pale and shouted directly: "Come on, pull out these nonsense things and get fifty military sticks!"

Everyone was shocked. When they saw that it was Lu Xiangtong, they quickly stood up to apologize.

Lu Xiangtong had a slight face and showed no mercy at all.

Soon, the laughter turned into screams, and the law enforcement beat him so mercilessly.

Zhou Zheng and Lu Xiangguan looked at each other inside and walked out.

Originally, the atmosphere was very good, Lu Xiangguan immediately frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Lu Xiangtong turned around and bowed to Zhou Zheng, then said coldly: "These bastards are talking nonsense, give them some memory."

Lu Xiangguan glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "Okay, sir, come in and have a drink."

Lu Xiangtong raised her hand to Zhou Zheng and said, "I'll make you laugh."

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "I and Jiandou don't care about these things, and you don't need to deliberately do it, but instead make people talk."

Lu Xiangtong was stunned, and thought about it, and said, "Yes, I will write it down."

Zhou Zheng glanced at the beaten people, but had no intention of pleading for mercy, and turned around and went in with the two brothers of the Lu family.

The next day, Zhou Zheng reviewed Ningyuan's army and set off for Jinzhou in the evening.

Zhou Zheng and Lu Xiangsheng walked slowly in Jinzhou City, checking the defense while chatting.

Lu Xiangsheng became more and more serious, speaking and acting sternly, and was half a step slower than Zhou Zheng, saying: "At present, there are sixteen castles built in front of and behind Linghe River, slowly connecting as the first line of defense to protect Liaodong. South of the Taizi River, three cities are planned to be built, based on the three Guangning guards, migrate people, clear up wastelands, and make long-term plans. Dongjiang Town, Lushun Guards have sent troops to Phoenix City, and based on this, they have built seventeen cities to gradually advance and consolidate Liaodong..."
