The first thousand and ninety-first chapters talk about the candle night

When Wang Dong arrived in Wanghai City, he naturally moved into the previous Governor's Mansion.

Although the Governor of Xinming moved from Wanghai City to Pingyi City a few years ago, the Governor's Mansion in Wanghai City is still there, and the mansion was not assigned to the prefect of Wanghai City for use, but was temporarily preserved and placed.

After all, this Governor's Mansion is not an ordinary building. Although it is far inferior to the newly built Governor's Mansion in Pingyi City in terms of scale and exquisiteness, after all, Wanghai City was still very simple at that time, and the construction of Governor's Mansion was also very simple. But you should know that this Governor's Mansion represents the legal status of the Ming Empire entering a new continent and beginning to formally rule. Its political significance and symbolism are self-evident.

Before Wang Dong arrived, Zhang Han asked someone to re-treat the Governor's Office, which was already well-preserved, to re-treat. Now that Wang Dong has arrived, Zhang Han told Wang Dong that he had arranged for Wang Dong to stay here. Zhang Han's attitude even more satisfied with Wang Dong.

You should know that Wang Dong came to Xinming to succeed Pan Mengyuan as the governor of Pan Mengyuan. Now he moved into the Governor's Mansion in Wanghai City on the first day of his arrival in Xinming. This naturally has the meaning of the alternation of old and new. At the same time, Pan Mengyuan also used this to express his attitude.

"Wang Shuai has been bumpy all the way, and I think he is quite tired. Hunting is leaving for the time being. Wait for Wang Shuai to rest for two days, Hunting will welcome Wang Shuai again."

Seeing that Wang Dong had entered the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Han accompanied Wang Dong around the mansion and then came to the front hall together. Then he bowed and prepared to say goodbye.

"Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be so polite. Although Xinming is a little far away, I have been used to staying at sea for a long time and I have not been tired all the way. As for the reception of the air and dust, I will talk about it later."

Wang Dong said with a smile, and then said, "It was originally time to arrive in Xinming half a month ago. I didn't expect to encounter a storm halfway, so I had to rest for a while. Today, Lord Zhang was able to come to the sea to welcome Yu Zhun. I was very happy. It's still early now, so why should Lord Zhang stay and drink tea?"

Zhang Han did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed with a smile.

In fact, Zhang Han's words just now were just polite. Since he came to Wanghai City, he represented Pan Mengyuan's attitude and released the kindness of the Governor's Office to Wang Dong.

Although the change of the position of governor of Xinming this time was quite surprising, this was the rule of the court. Whether it was Pan Mengyuan himself or Xinming officials like Zhang Han, he felt a little uncomfortable, but his decree still had to be abide by.

After all, although Xinming is far away from overseas, it is also a territory that Pan Mengyuan and his men have built little by little, Xinming is also a territory of the Ming Dynasty, and these people are still ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

There are orders in the local area, and even if there are any ideas, they must abide by them. Pan Mengyuan and others are clear about this. But then again, Pan Mengyuan did a good job in Xinming, and now he is suddenly going to be transferred back to the local area. It feels a little unhappy if anyone puts this kind of thing on it.

However, Zhu Yicheng asked Zhu Yigui to take the lead and come to Xinming before Wang Dong arrived. The purpose was not only to accept Xinming's military power in advance just in case, but also to appease Pan Mengyuan and others.

In the decree brought by Zhu Yigui, although Zhu Yicheng transferred Pan Mengyuan back to his country and became the governor of Xinming, the compensation he gave Pan Mengyuan was also quite good.

After Pan Mengyuan returned to China, he not only promoted him to the position of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, but also left him an important position in the Military Affairs Office. This would be equivalent to allowing Pan Mengyuan to entrust officials directly into the military affairs center and become a member of the highest-level officials of the Ming Dynasty.

With this arrangement, Pan Mengyuan naturally understood the emperor's meaning, and after calming down and thinking, he also knew why he had to transfer himself back to the local area.

You should know that since Xinming opened Xinjiang to the present, Pan Mengyuan has made great contributions. Now Xinming Pan Mengyuan is nominally the governor, but its power is no less than that of a vassal king in the border. In this case, if Pan Mengyuan continues to stay in Xinming, no one will guarantee that there will be no problem in a few years.

In history, there were many separatist situations in the vassal states. Just a few decades ago, the Three Feudal Rebellion of the Qing Dynasty. This situation was the most concerned thing for every emperor. Once Pan Mengyuan continued to stay like this, who could guarantee that nothing would happen in the future?

Even if Pan Mengyuan is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, if someone with ulterior motives force Pan Mengyuan to wear a "yellow robe" and everything will be irreversible by then.

This is a result that Zhu Yicheng would never want to see, and he did not expect that Xinming, an important territory, would fall into civil unrest, which would consume the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, at this time, the best solution to the problem is to transfer Pan Mengyuan back to the local area. Moreover, the connection between the entire Xinming and the local area can be further deepened through the means of building a province in Xinming, and at the same time, better open up this "selected place".

After understanding this problem, Pan Mengyuan felt at a loss. Since things cannot be saved, it would be better to cooperate than to resist. Moreover, Zhu Yicheng had already made preparations. After Zhu Yigui arrived in Xinming, he started to move south from Wanghai City with the decree in his hand, and took over the military power of several troops first. Once Pan Mengyuan had any abnormal movement, Zhu Yigui's temper would definitely use troops to quell the chaos.

Even if most of Xinming's military power is still in the hands of Pan Mengyuan, you should know that Zhu Yigui represents the Ming Dynasty. With this move, his crime of traitors will definitely not be able to escape. No matter what the outcome is, with the powerful force of the Ming Dynasty, Xinming will ultimately be unable to compete.

Furthermore, as the pioneer of Xinming, Xinming's territory consumed countless efforts of Pan Mengyuan, and he never wanted to see Xinming eventually become a battlefield for civil strife. Therefore, Pan Mengyuan quickly set his position and made the most cooperative decision.

When Zhang Han learned from him that Pan Mengyuan had handed over all military powers to Zhu Yigui one after another, Wang Dong's smile became stronger, and he secretly praised Pan Mengyuan for his decision.

"Ship Pan is worthy of being a loyal minister and general of the Ming Dynasty."

"This is natural. In fact, although Xinming is good, it is not local. After so many years of leaving home, we have long missed our hometown. Now that the court summoned Pan Shuai back to China, this is a great thing that I can't afford. Pan Shuai was very happy. To be honest, Wang Shuai actually wanted to follow Pan Shuai back to China. When I think of the mountains and rivers of my hometown, I felt...."

Zhang Han looked a little excited, and when he spoke, he raised his sleeves and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Hahaha, I understand the feelings of Lord Zhang in his hometown. Unfortunately, Lord Zhang cannot go back for the time being. Many things in Xinming require the assistance of Lord Zhang and you. Perhaps in a few years, after everything is settled, Lord Zhang will be able to return to the local area. By then, whether you are an official in Beijing or a local position, I think the court will definitely be of great use!"

Wang Dong laughed heartily and said something like this. His words sounded ordinary, but in fact they had a deep meaning. The meaning of the words was not only to comfort Zhang Han, but also to ask Zhang Han to tell all Xinming officials on behalf of Wang Dong that as long as they follow him, I will not treat you badly at that time. In the future, you will definitely return to the country with a grand salary. High officials and generous salaries are just around the corner.

"The emperor's kindness is highly respected by Wang Shuai, and he is grateful for his humble position." Zhang Han quickly stood up and saluted Wang Dong solemnly.

Wang Dong did not stop him, and sat upright and received his gift. Although neither of them had any words, they were already tacit, and Zhang Han's gift also represented the meaning of his true intention of taking Wang Dong as the leader of the horse from this moment on.

Afterwards, when Zhang Han sat back to his seat, the relationship between the two became much more harmonious, and the previous falsehood was less when they spoke.

Although Wang Dong knew about Xinming's situation, his news was obtained from the General Affairs Office and the Military Affairs Office. In fact, Xinming's situation is as numerous as a cat, and even the General Affairs Office and the Military Affairs Office cannot cover everything.

In addition, Wang Dong went to Xinming this time with a heavy responsibility, and the establishment of Xinming province can be said to be an important part of the Ming Dynasty's real local rule, which represents Zhu Yicheng's infinite expectations for Xinming's future.

After receiving this important task, Wang Dong made plans in his mind before coming. No matter how difficult it is, he must do this for the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, since Wang Dong followed Zhu Yicheng to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, his official position has long been top-notch. Whether it is the commander of the navy, or the former military minister, or now Wang Dong is granted the title of Chen, the founding country, and the title of Taibao, and his glory has reached its peak.

Wang Dong is less than forty years old and is in his prime. Being the Governor of Xinming can be said to be another challenge for Wang Dong to himself. As long as he can do this in Xinming, Wang Dong will definitely remain famous for his generation and be admired by future generations. His position as Duke Chen can also take it further. Maybe more than ten years later, Duke Chen will surpass Duke Song and become the leader of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Han's knowledge and support made Wang Dong feel relieved, and he immediately asked him about Xinming's situation.

Zhang Han had already prepared for this, and began to talk about it slowly when Xinming was pioneering. Then he talked about Pan Mengyuan's two methods of naturalization and military use of the court's strategy, and then continued to immigrate, accelerating the expansion of Xinming.

Zhang Han was one of the first officials sent to Xinming by the Ming Dynasty, and was also the most powerful civil servant among Xinming. It can be said that Zhang Han experienced and saw it step by step since Xinming had nothing to this day.

Zhang Han spoke very carefully and said very comprehensively. Wang Dong listened carefully and did not interrupt actively. He only asked questions when he was confused. At this time, Zhang Han would carefully explain to Wang Dong all aspects of the situation at that time, including why the Xinming Governor's Office made such a decision.

When Zhang Han said that, Wang Dong kept it carefully in his heart and took the initiative to pour tea and water for Zhang Han.

It took several hours to talk about it. It was not until dark that Wang Dong remembered that he was going to have dinner. Wang Dong immediately asked Zhang Han for advice and asked someone to make some side dishes and bring them in. The two of them were eating and chatting like old friends.

After dinner, I lit the candle again and continued to talk, until late at night, the candlelight was still not extinguished.
