350 Arrive in Seoul

So, the next morning, when Lu Xiangsheng left, he also took with him more than a dozen Haixi Jurchens who had been selected.

It stands to reason that it is normal for the governor of Denglai not to be stationed on Phi Island. Therefore, the soldiers and civilians on the road were not surprised that Lord Zhongcheng left Phi Island with the standard camp. They were going to do what they were going to do, and they wouldn't be nervous because of the island's increased defenses. After all, such things are commonplace for them. The most important thing is that they don't believe that Jianyu can really attack the island.

Seeing that Phi Dao was getting farther and farther away, Wei Mulan chatted privately with Emperor Chongzhen in the chat group, and told Lu Xiangsheng everything he ordered. She was a little worried, were the Jurchens really reliable?

Regarding this matter, Emperor Chongzhen believed in Lu Xiangsheng's judgment. To use an incorrect analogy, just as there are traitors among the Han people, there are also traitors among the Jurchens. However, unlike traitors, traitors can betray their compatriots for their own interests; And these Jurchens went to war with their fellow people for revenge. This kind of thing is also common for Daming. For example, Man Gui, he is from the Mongolian ethnic group, but he has been working for the Ming Dynasty and still fights the Mongols. Even in later generations, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were still Japanese people who fought Japanese devils.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen told Wei Mulan not to worry, but he was a little worried about Wei Mulan: "Lu Xiangsheng is preparing to attack the hinterland of Liaodong, you are a girl, you have not experienced it before, can you withstand such a hard thing?" And it's dangerous! If not, don't go! ”

Come to think of it, Wei Mulan used to be just the top brand of Yihong Courtyard, and she was only in her teens. usually accompanies Lu Xiangsheng by his side, but there is nothing. But the upcoming surprise attack is not something that ordinary people can withstand. Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried, that is, it was a logical thing!

When Wei Mulan heard this, her heart couldn't help but feel hot, she didn't expect the emperor to think about her so much, so she hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, your subordinates can!"

After answering, she thought for a while, and immediately added: "Lu Zhongcheng is going to the hinterland of Liaodong here, and he can't do without his subordinates. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was relieved to see her answer. It would be great if Wei Mulan could. The news can be sent to Lu Xiangsheng at any time, which will be of great benefit to the mobility of his team.

He was thinking like this, and suddenly, another private chat came over, which was sent by Lu Ruipeng in Shaanxi: "Your Majesty, Hong Zhongcheng led the army into Baode Prefecture, Shanxi, and the thieves were on guard and fled when they heard the news. Now Hong Zhongcheng has recovered Baodezhou City, but ...... But the city of Baode has become a ghost town, and there are no more people. ”

It seems that Wang Jiayin is still cautious, and he sent a horse to be vigilant. These thieves are not good at this, as soon as there is a disturbance, they don't care about 3721, and they run away immediately. The worst thing is that these thieves will spoil the local area wherever they go.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and then gave Lu Ruipeng an order: "Let Hong Chengchou lead the army to pursue, and don't give the thieves time to attack the city again." In addition, I will also ask the Governor of Xuanda to send troops to participate in the interception. ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately contacted Zhang Fengyi and said: "You and Ma Xianglin led the people of the headquarters to the governor of Xuanda, and ordered him to send troops nearby to intercept and encircle the thieves who rushed into Shanxi!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Zhang Fengyi responded immediately, and then went to find the auxiliary minister Xue Guoguan, and after Xue Guoguan issued a certificate, he and Ma Xianglin were opened.

Originally, the White Pole Army was preparing to return to Sichuan after raiding the family and Jin Shang. But the thieves rose again, and many of the border troops in Jin were scattered, so they had to continue to sit in Xuanfu, and only Qin Liangyu returned to Sichuan first.

Emperor Chongzhen retired from the chat group and sent a decree to the cabinet, asking them to reissue the decree to various places. Although the chat group is fast, it is empty talk after all, and the holy decree still has to be reissued. Something like this, especially something like the mobilization of the army, should be done sparingly, and the holy decree should be reissued as soon as possible, otherwise there will be trouble in the future if someone has malicious intentions and pretends to be the holy will.

After doing these things, Emperor Chongzhen instructed Gao Shiyue, who was on duty on rotation, to call the dozen or so eunuch palace maids he selected. Seeing that they were all listening attentively, he said, "You have read all those manuscripts, haven't you?" ”

He pointed to the first ten chapters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and after these chapters were written, some literary people among the eunuchs and palace maids read them first. After receiving an affirmative reply, he said: "Then I will dictate the next chapters, and you will write them down, and then compile them into a book, and send them to the Ministry of War to Liu Mao in the matter!" ”

If you use a brush shorthand, it's fine if it's just a shorthand of one or two sentences, but if you speak continuously, you can't keep up with the speed of shorthand. But now that there are many people, they will divide their own labor, and they don't need to deliberately reduce the speed of speech. Using this method to write, it is much easier for Emperor Chongzhen.

Besides, Chen Jisheng, the deputy general of the Dongjiang River, traveled day and night by boat, and finally arrived before Jianyu arrived in Seoul.

At this time, in Seoul, you can still see the traces left by the previous Japanese invasions. At the beginning of the war, Seoul was repeatedly ravaged by North Korea's own people and Japanese pirates, not to mention the palace, and basically burned down all over the place. During the Gwanghae-jun period, only the Jongmyo and the main palace were restored. During the Injo period, it was not all restored.

Hearing that Chen Jisheng, the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, led the military order of the governor of Denglai to come, Renzu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city. The people of Seoul also came out to watch, and it became a grand event for a while.

If it had been before, there might not have been such a grand occasion. However, when Jianguo ravaged the northern part of Korea, the governor of Denglai personally led the army, and ambushed twice in a row, almost annihilating Jianguo's 2,000 grain protection troops, forcing Jianguo to stop plundering, and stayed in the north without moving. The news finally reached Seoul, which greatly excited the Korean monarchs and people.

Because of this, the Korean monarchs and ministers admired the current governor of Denglai even more, and even had a trace of fear. You must know that the governor of Denglai of the Ming Dynasty has always been responsible for governing the vassal states of Korea. Now that this governor of Denglai still has such ability, and the affairs of North Korea depend on him even more, he naturally does not dare to slack off. Even if at this time, he had nominally broken away from the vassal state relationship with the Ming Dynasty and formed a brotherly state with Jianyu, it was also greeted ceremoniously.

When the two sides arrived in the palace to discuss business, Chen Jisheng took out Lu Xiangsheng's letter and forwarded it to Renzu.

Renzu didn't dare to slack off, and even took the letter after cleaning his hands, and unfolded it to read it carefully. Wu Daji and the other three scholars in power who accompanied him were staring at Renjo, guessing in their hearts what Governor Denglai meant.
