afternoon!

The king and the cabinet masters convened a cabinet meeting and passed the official appointment of the Grand Governor.

The Grand Commander officially took over all military regions except the garrison troops in the capital, becoming the Grand Commander in the true sense and the highest military commander in China.

night!

The cabinet held a grand celebration banquet to celebrate the great governor and the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Army.

In addition to the king of the country, a group of cabinet elders and leaders of various departments, the commanders of various military regions also attended the celebration banquet.

From beginning to end, Chen Ning wore a Suzaku battle robe and a Qilin mask.

Everyone became more and more curious about who the Governor was.

The celebration banquet ended.

Huang Gan asked Chen Ning to come to the king's mansion to talk to him.

In the imperial study of the king's mansion, there were only Huang Gan and Chen Ning.

Huang Gan said with a smile: "Chen Ning, you didn't disappoint me. You won a beautiful victory in the northern border, leaving the old guys in the cabinet with nothing to say, and you finally settled into the position of Grand Governor."

Chen Ning smiled and said, "It depends entirely on the trust of the king."

Huang Gan smiled and said with a sneer: "From now, we will leave all our Chinese military and defense to you, so don't let me down."

Chen Ning said: "Don't worry, the king, my subordinates will do their best to do their best."

Huang Gan nodded: "The leaders of each military region will be under your control in the future, but some people must be convinced on you on the surface and are dissatisfied with you. Do you have any plans for rectification next?"

Chen Ning said: "Wei Lin, commander-in-chief of the East China Sea, commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan, commander-in-chief of the West, commander-in-chief of the North China Army, are all excellent generals, they are all commanders who stand alone and do a good job."

"The only problem is that the major military regions are fighting on their own. In the future, I will unite the major military regions to command in a unified manner, improve the coordination capabilities of joint operations, and comprehensively improve combat capabilities."

Huang Gan nodded: "Yes, unified command and coordinated combat are very important."

"But if you have unified command, in everyone's eyes, you want to seize their power. They are not convinced by you in their hearts. If you want to seize their command, they will not be happy, so you can't be too hasty."

Chen Ning smiled and said, "I understand, so I will do nothing in the next two months and continue to let everyone manage their own military regions."

"When everyone is no longer so impetuous, I will slowly implement my philosophy."

Huanggan Road: "Very good."

At this moment!

In the Xiang family's side hall, Xiang Cheng was also talking to his confidant Ding Qing.

Ding Qing said to Xiang Cheng respectfully: "Old Xiang, my subordinates still have not found out who is the true identity of the Grand Commander?"

"In addition, Chen Ning seemed to have disappeared on the battlefield after being recalled to the Northern Army for war some time ago."

"I don't know if that guy died in battle or became a deserter?"

Xiang Cheng frowned: "Is Chen Ning missing?"

Ding Qing nodded: "Yes, after the Northern Army fought, he seemed to have evaporated. His subordinates asked in many ways, but there was no news about him."

Xiang Cheng asked: "Is there any name on the reward list of the Northern Army? Is there any name on the sacrifice list?"

Ding Qing said: "I checked in detail, but there was nothing. He seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Mr. Xiang, are you wondering?"

Xiang Cheng frowned and immediately sneered: "No wonder!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the boy knows that his situation is hopeless. Even if he is recalled to the Northern Army, he will not be able to restore his former status."

"He knew I would seek revenge on him sooner or later, so he continued to fight, became a deserter, and hid, trying to escape my revenge."

Ding Qing said: "The Northern Army did not openly announce that Chen Ning was dead or became a deserter. Everything was like nothing happened."

Xiang Cheng snorted coldly: "Chen Ning was from the Northern Army, so the Northern Army will of course choose to favor Chen Ning, pretending not to know."

Ding Qing said: "Old Xiang, Chen Ning has run away now, what should we do?"

Xiang Cheng said coldly: "He can run away, monks can't run away, he can't run away, he has his wife and children in Zhonghai? Make arrangements for me and let someone take care of his family."
