Chapter 129: Mao Wenlong's Decision (Page 1/1)

The North Korean envoy knew that it was Li Chen who was afraid that Mao Wenlong would introduce the troubled waters into North Korea, so he let him enter the island, so Mao Wenlong chose Phi Dao (椵道). Later, a large number of Liao people crossed the sea to defect, and Phi Dao gradually became unaffordable.

Of course, North Korea also supported Mao Wenlong, and the Mao rice levied by the North Korean government on the residents of Pyongan and Hwanghae provinces was used to support the Dongjiang River. Mao Wenlong believed that he had come to protect North Korea, and that such support could not enable Dongjiang to feed himself and the Liao people, so Mao Wenlong occupied part of the arable land south of Tieshan and began to reclaim it to provide military rations.

After listening to the envoy's report, King Li had no choice but to appeal to the Ming court. Zhu Youxiao was furious, so he ordered people to come to Phi Dao, and scolded Chen Qiyu and Mao Wenlong in front of the North Korean envoys, asking them to return Tieshan to North Korea, but did not mention Phi Dao. Moreover, the envoy also pulled out the money and goods that had been given to Dongjiang by the way.

Chen Qiyu and Mao Wenlong naturally understood, so they complained to the envoy, posed all kinds of difficulties, and asked for a postponement of their withdrawal from Tieshan. The envoy sternly refused, demanding that he withdraw from Iron Mountain as soon as possible, so that the Korean envoy was overjoyed.

After the Ming envoy finished scolding, he took Mao Wenlong's one yuan and went back. As soon as Mao Wenlong and the other envoys left, he said to the Korean envoys: "Since His Majesty the Emperor asked us to return Iron Mountain, we have no choice. It's just that you can ask the king of your family to give us a time to clean up, and we will exit the Iron Mountain after we finish cleaning up. ”

Of course, the Korean envoy would not persecute too much at this time, lest Mao Wenlong be annoyed and angry, and promised to ask King Li to give Dongjiang Town enough time to carry the goods.

Mao Wenlong took this opportunity to relocate the Koreans in Tieshan to the territory of the former Jianzhouwei, and by the time Tieshan was returned to North Korea two years later, there were almost no Koreans in Tieshan. The Phi Island became a transit point for trade between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, and the Logistics Department pulled 10% of all the goods transiting through the Phi Island to Dongjiang Town.

All the Liao people in Dongjiang Town have been transported back to Liaonan and entered the farm, and only the soldiers of Dongjiang Town and the merchants in transit are now left on Phi Island, and the supply of grain and grass in Dongjiang has now been transferred to the Logistics Department, which is in the form of affiliation, and the only difference with the treatment of the Guards is that they do not occupy the shares of the Logistics Department. This made Chen Qiyu a little dissatisfied, but if Dongjiang Town wanted to enter the Guards series, it was necessary for Mao Wenlong to apply for it himself, and Mao Wenlong was still hesitating, vacillating between his desire to control the army and the better benefits of joining the Guards.

Compared with the original history, the current Dongjiang River does not have such dazzling achievements because of the birth of the Guards. And Mao Wenlong's own sectarian thinking is not serious, but some subordinates feel that in this distant Phi Island, it is very cool to make a decision by oneself, and everyone kills Jiannu together, although Mao Wenlong did not accept the family, but received a lot of righteous sons, and also established a deep relationship with each other.

He had seen the commanders of the various divisions of the Guards change like a marquee, and understood that this was because the imperial court did not want a general to be in charge of an army for a long time. If he joined the Guards, the imperial court would definitely transfer him out of Zhenjiang, and he couldn't even take a single general with him, which made him hesitate.

Chen Qiyu found an opportunity to say to Mao Wenlong: "Mao Dudu, now that Jiannu has been destroyed, the soldiers and horses of Liaodong are all guards except for our Dongjiang Town. The emperor never said that he would merge Dongjiang Town into the Guards, but he was afraid that he didn't want to make it difficult for the governor. ”

Mao Wenlong said: "Destroy Jiannu, my Dongjiang Town has also made great contributions, but you see, the commanders of all divisions of the Guards are all waiting for the uncle, what about us?" You are a civil official, but there is nothing, there will be a reward after returning to Beijing, I am a Zuo Du Governor, the honor is there, and the nominal power is also very great, but the bottom is not the same as Dongjiang Town. The rewards of the generals below are more generous than mine, and I feel bitter in my heart. ”

Chen Qiyu said with a smile: "If I say that as long as the governor applies to join the guards, he can be made an earl, I don't know if the governor believes it or not?" ”

Mao Wenlong patted his head and said with annoyance: "Brother Chen's words woke up the person in the dream, he was too stupid to think of this. I will write to the emperor and ask the emperor to incorporate Dongjiang Town into the Guards, and by the way, let the righteous sons restore their original surnames. ”

Chen Qiyu praised: "Brother Mao is really smart, Chen wishes Count Mao a long life." ”

Mao Wenlong said: "This matter of writing is still going to trouble Brother Chen." ”

Chen Qiyu immediately started writing, and after finishing writing, Mao Wenlong read it again and said: "Thank you, Brother Chen, now I will go and talk to the righteous sons, otherwise the imperial history will join me." ”

Mao Wenlong summoned the generals of Dongjiang Town and said: "I will invite you here today to discuss important matters. ”

The generals said, "Father-in-law, please have something to say." ”

Mao Wenlong said: "From now on, my father-son relationship with you will be dissolved. ”

The generals were shocked, most of the generals in Dongjiang Town were in a father-son relationship with Mao Wenlong, and when they suddenly heard this, they were naturally angry.

Mao Wenlong pressed his hand and said: "Don't mess up, what is the reason why you want to recognize this righteous relatives back then, of course you know, Mao Yongshi, come on." ”

Mao Yongshi said: "In my Ming army, the reason why I want to support my family, and even recognize my father and son, is because the war is dangerous and there will be unforeseen disasters at any time. Once you recognize your righteous relatives, you can help each other. The child was ignorant and did not understand why the father-in-law was now dissolving the father-son relationship. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded, asked him to sit down, and said, "What you said is exactly why we want to recognize our righteous relatives." But now his father is preparing to apply to the emperor to include Dongjiang Town in the Guards series. Everyone knows the welfare of the Guards, whether it is dead or disabled, the treatment given to you or your family by the imperial court is the highest, and you don't have to worry about the aftermath at all. Since the reason for recognizing the righteous relatives in the first place is no longer there, of course it should be lifted. ”

Mao Yongshi stood up again and said: "But we recognize our father-in-law willingly, even if there is no original reason, but the father-son relationship between us is still there." And they all said yes.

Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "I'm very pleased that you can think like this." However, the relationship between father and son is precious in the heart, and when I am old in the future, you will have time, sit down with me, and talk about the stories of the Japanese army. If there is something to ask for, it is good for everyone to make it easier for each other. It has always been forbidden to support a family member in the Guard, and it is obviously even more difficult for a large number of righteous sons like me. Even if it is to join the Guard, our father-son relationship must be dissolved. ”

The generals of Dongjiang Town have a very good relationship with Mao Wenlong, but the generals see that Mao Wenlong's words are reasonable, and insist on doing so, of course, there is no way to object. Besides, being able to restore one's own surname and first name is of course a good thing for ordinary people. If you change your name and surname, you will be ashamed of your parents in the future.
