Chapter 290 Shui Changqing Becomes the Supervisor of the Southern Expedition Army

Ever since Grand Tutor Yuwen escaped, Qi Wushuang had anticipated that he would raise an army, and had already discussed countermeasures with important officials.

Moreover, Ye Wuwei had already learned about the news that Grand Tutor Yuwen had raised an army.

Now when asked by court officials how to deal with the "Yuwen clan's rebellion", Qi Wushuang was not panicked at all.

Qi Wushuang announced the decision on the spot:

Qi Kangping was appointed commander of the southern expedition, leading 50,000 troops southward. The governors of Yuncheng, Huishui, Pancheng and Shengcheng fully cooperated with him, and the troops of the four states were commanded by Qi Kangping.

Shui Changqing served as the military supervisor and followed the army south.

Qi Wushuang gave Shui Changqing an imperial edict:

At critical moments, Shui Changqing can take over Qi Kangping's position as commander and lead all the troops.

In addition, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue each made arrangements to ensure military supplies and logistics.

Except for not explaining the matter of "killing the Embroidered Uniform Guards", Qi Wushuang made arrangements for everything else.

Seeing that Qi Wushuang had arranged everything in an orderly manner, the court officials knew that Qi Wushuang had not only made arrangements on how to resolve Yuwen Taishi's accusations against Qi Wushuang, but had also been prepared for the war.

Since everything else has been prepared, Qi Wushuang should also have a way to deal with the "killing of the Embroidered Uniform Guards" incident.

However, Qi Wushuang did not mention it on his own initiative, so they pretended not to have heard about "Qi Wushuang killing the Embroidered Uniform Guards".

However, some court officials still stood up and asked the question: "Why was Qi Kangping appointed as the commander of the Southern Expedition?"

The court officials were not surprised to see Shui Changqing appointed as the military supervisor.

The Shui family controls 70% of the medical resources of the Qi Dynasty, and Yuncheng also has a large medicinal material planting base. With Shui Changqing there, the medicinal materials needed by the army can be guaranteed.

Doctors can also be mobilized at critical moments.

However, the court officials did not understand why Qi Kangping was appointed as the commander of the southern expedition?

Qi Kangping had almost become a forgotten person by them. What was the meaning of being reappointed by Qi Wushuang at this time?

Chu Fuchi answered for Qi Wushuang:

"As early as the beginning of the year, His Majesty had arranged for Commander Qi to train his troops in Yuncheng. Now Commander Qi has led 50,000 troops south."

Although Chu Fuchi only said a few words, the officials of Taiji Hall were shocked.

Master Zhuang:

Half a year has passed since the beginning of the year, but he had no idea that Qi Kangping was training troops in Yuncheng.

Qi Wushuang did a great job of keeping secrets!

Yuncheng is the territory of the Shui family. Shui Changqing can never hide what’s happening in Yuncheng. It is also Shui Changqing’s credit that Qi Wushuang’s confidentiality work is so effective.

Thinking of this, Master Zhuang glanced secretly at Shui Changqing.

Ever since Qi Wushuang returned victorious from the north, Shui Changqing chose to join Qi Wushuang. Qi Wushuang also asked his most trusted Ye Wuwei to recognize Shui Changqing as his master to maintain the alliance.

With the help of the Shui family and Qi Wushuang's long-prepared secret army, the Yuwen family had no chance of winning.

In this case, should the Zhuang family also make a choice?

The Zhuang family will no longer gain anything by showing goodwill to Qi Wushuang, but if they continue to go against Qi Wushuang, Qi Wushuang will probably deal with the Zhuang family after he has dealt with the Yuwen family.

However, Master Zhuang was unwilling to give in to Qi Wushuang as he would not gain any benefits.

If the Zhuang family and the Yuwen family unite, will they have a chance of winning?

Master Zhuang pondered for a long time, but ultimately came to no conclusion.

Finally, Master Zhuang decided to wait and see.

If the Yuwen clan has the upper hand, the Zhuang clan will form an alliance with the Yuwen clan.

If Qi Wushuang gains the upper hand, the Zhuang family will bow to Qi Wushuang again.

At worst, Master Zhuang can go back to Ledu and live in peace there.

Not only Master Zhuang and Commandant Qi were also feeling conflicted.

It was only recently that General Qi heard Qi Guangren talk about Qi Kangping, and only then did he realize that Qi Wushuang had already arranged for Qi Kangping to go to Yuncheng for secret military training.

If Qi Guangren had not become Qi Wushuang's confidant, General Qi would not have known about these things.

It seems that he is really old!

Fortunately, Qi Guangren is capable and has the trust of Qi Wushuang. Even if Qi Wushuang intends to take action against the aristocratic families, the Qi family will not be worse off under the leadership of Qi Guangren.

Thinking of this, General Qi also secretly glanced at Shui Changqing.

Why did Shui Changqing gain Qi Wushuang's trust?

Shui Changqing seldom spoke in the court, but Qi Wushuang never refuted anything he said.

Moreover, Qi Wushuang usually treats Shui Changqing with more respect than he treats other people.

According to Qi Guangren, Shui Changqing and Ye Wuwei are not just a master-disciple relationship on the surface, but their relationship is closer than that of an ordinary father and son.

Could it be that this is why Qi Wushuang treats Shui Changqing differently?

……

Shui Changqing didn't know that Master Zhuang and Commandant Qi were both thinking about him. He was thinking about going south to serve as the military supervisor.

After the battle with the North, Qi Kangping gained practical experience and became Qi Wushuang's confidant.

When Ye Wuwei suggested that the terrain of Yuncheng was similar to that of Nanling Mountains and that soldiers could be recruited in the Yuncheng area for secret training to prepare for the war in the south, Qi Wushuang thought of Qi Kangping.

Qi Wushuang secretly recruited Qi Kangping back to Chamdo and arranged for him to recruit 50,000 soldiers in Yuncheng and nearby areas and train them in Yuncheng.

The training plan was formulated by Shui Changqing and improved with the help of Qi Wushuang.

In modern times, Shui Changqing was not only Ye Wuwei's master, but also served as an instructor and operations commander at the base. He was very good at training and deploying troops.

Shui Changqing also directed jungle warfare.

However, this is ancient times after all. Ancient weapons are different from modern ones, and the combat methods are definitely different as well. Shui Changqing is worried about any mistakes.

……

After the court was dismissed, Shui Changqing stayed and discussed the task with Qi Wushuang, Chu Fuchi and others.

Qi Wushuang asked Shui Changqing: "When are you planning to leave?"

"Tomorrow. I'll feel more at ease if I go earlier."

That night, Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang quietly arrived at the Water Palace.

Shui Changqing was not surprised that the two of them came.

Ye Wuwei will definitely come to see him, and Qi Wushuang likes to follow Ye Wuwei the most.

Ye Wuwei gave Shui Changqing a piece of armor:

"This armor is a gift from Wushuang to you.

The armor is made of black iron, and its defensive capabilities are comparable to bulletproof vests. Its only drawback is that it's heavy."

Shui Changqing took the armor and looked at it carefully:

"I heard that black iron is the treasure of the Qi family. I was only half-believing and half-doubting before. I didn't expect that such an extraordinary thing as black iron really existed."

"I didn't quite believe it when I first heard about it, but after seeing it for myself, I realized that the toughness of black iron is unmatched by any other metal, even in modern times."

Shui Changqing didn't bother to be polite with Qi Wushuang: "Thank you very much."

"Master, medical conditions are poor nowadays, and your health condition is no better than it is today. You must take good care of yourself."

"I know.

I'm just an overseer, I don't have to fight in person, don't worry."

Ye Wuwei continued to talk a lot, and Shui Changqing responded to his words one by one.

This was the first time Qi Wushuang saw Ye Wuwei being so "talkative", and he realized even more deeply how deep Ye Wuwei's feelings for Shui Changqing were.

On the way back in the carriage, Qi Wushuang said to Ye Wuwei:

"If you are worried about the safety of the Shui family master, I will replace him with someone else as the military supervisor."

Ye Wuwei shook his head:

"It was Master's own decision to become the military supervisor, I can't make the decision for him.

And from a broader perspective, Master is the most suitable person to be the military supervisor."

Qi Wushuang placed his hand on the back of Ye Wuwei's hand: "Master is a blessed man, nothing will happen to him."

"You are right, Master is a blessed man, nothing will happen to him."

Since Master was able to be reborn into the Qi Dynasty and live another life, he must be a man of great luck!
