Chapter 152: The Emperor's Secret Decree

It took more than 20 days for Chu Xianxian, Yuan Shu and others to lead the fleet through Guanglu Island, Changshan Island, and Shicheng Island, and finally arrived at the destination of the trip on the evening of August 26, that is, Phi Island, where Mao Wenlong's main force was located in Dongjiang Town.

After a few months, Emperor Chongzhen sent people to send military salaries, ordnance, grain and grass materials again, Mao Wenlong and others were naturally overjoyed, which compared with the cold reception of Dongjiang Town in the court six years after the Apocalypse, the difference is very huge.

Not long after the ship docked, Mao Wenlong, the marshal of Dongjiang Town, took his generals, all dressed up, to the pier of Phi Dao, set up incense cases, and waited for the eunuch Chu Charter.

As soon as Chu Xianzhang came ashore, he was also satisfied when he saw this battle, and said that Dongjiang Mao Shuai was difficult to control, and it seemed that people's words were not true.

Chu Xianzhang was on the dock, and read out two holy decrees in public, the first of which was naturally an order, that is, Lin Maochun and Du Gui, who were promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town and the commander of the left and middle route armies of Liaozhen.

The second is that the imperial court will pay Chongzhen's military salary in full in the first year, and make up for the ordnance, grain, grass and materials owed by Dongjiang Town over the years and rewards.

These two holy decrees made Mao Wenlong and the generals present, especially the two veterans Lin Maochun and Du Gui who followed the escort, all smile when they heard it, and they couldn't close their mouths with joy.

No one will be an enemy of food, especially Dongjiang Town in this era. Due to the fact that North Korea was a vassal to Houjin and no longer supplied military supplies to Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong commanded tens of thousands of horses, and people ate horses and chewed horses, and the daily consumption was not a small amount.

Therefore, at this time in history, Dongjiang Town was extremely poor, and had to rob and raise soldiers everywhere, either robbing North Korea or plundering past merchant ships, so in the eyes of many Qingliu courtiers of the Donglin Party who operated maritime trade at home, Mao Wenlong simply became a pirate leader, and Dongjiang Town fell into a vicious circle from then on.

It is precisely because of this that these generals and soldiers, who originally had a common enmity with most of the Houjin army, finally gave birth to the idea of armistice or even surrender with Jianlu.

After Chu Xianzhang read out the holy decree, there was jubilation on the dock, and Mao Wenlong also shouted a few words from the bottom of his heart, "Your Majesty Shengming" and "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Chu Xianzhang took Yuan Shu and Mao Wenlong and his generals to meet on Phi Island one by one, and was invited by Mao Wenlong into the marshal's mansion in Dongjiang Town.

Zhang Cunren, Li Xingzhong and other generals of the Tianjin and Denglai naval divisions, together with Mao Wenlong's Chinese army general Mao Chenglu, commanded the soldiers on both sides and began to unload as much as 200,000 yuan of silver and mountains of ordnance, grain and grass materials.

The poor and frightened defenders of Dongjiang Town, seeing this scene, everyone was like the New Year.

Mao Wenlong's Mansion is located in a col in the middle of Phi Island, which is leeward and sunny, but it is one of the few feng shui treasures on this barren island.

Mao Wenlong knew that Chu Xianzhang must have Emperor Chongzhen's henchmen to say when he came here, so he led Chu Xianxian, Yuan Shu and others all the way into the Great Shuaifu, and went straight through the lobby of the Shuaifu and into the second hall.

When he arrived at the second hall, Mao Wenlong invited Chu Xianzhang and Yuan Shu to sit down, sat down himself, and ordered someone to serve tea and leave, except for Mao Zhongjin, the general of the Chinese army, who continued to stand behind Mao Wenlong, and the rest of the generals in Dongjiang Town were waiting in the lobby of the Shuaifu.

At this time, Mao Wenlong said: "Father-in-law Chu came to Dongjiang, and Dongjiang Town is very honored. I don't know if my father-in-law is coming, long live the emperor, but do you have any other explanations? ”

Chu Xianzhang looked at Mao Wenlong, who had thick eyebrows and fine eyes, elegant appearance, and majestic and fierce, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mao Shuai is cool and sharp, but when I saw it today, it was really straightforward." Before our family left Beijing, the emperor did let our family bring you a secret decree, this matter is inside and outside the Beijing Division, except for the Minister of Military Aircraft, no one knows about it at present, and this matter is very important, and please Mao Shuai deal with it carefully and deal with it properly. ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart What is this, it is so mysterious.

While speaking, Chu Xianzhang took out a box from his arms, took out the key to his personal collection to open the box, and then took out a roll of paper from it and handed it over with his own hands.

Mao Zhongjin just wanted to step forward to take it on his behalf, but Mao Wenlong waved his hand, and Mao Zhongjin immediately stopped.

Mao Wenlong stepped forward to take the secret decree in person, sat down and looked carefully, just after reading a few columns, Mao Wenlong's eyes suddenly widened, his face was shocked, but he didn't speak, until he finished reading the full text, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said: "Father-in-law Chu, has the information mentioned in this letter been verified?!" ”

Chu Xianzhang put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Why did Mao Shuai say this?!" This is the emperor's secret decree, does Mao Shuai still suspect that what the secret decree of the long live lord is untrue? ! ”

When Mao Wenlong heard this, he immediately said: "Gong Chu is angry! Ben Shuai does not suspect that what the secret decree said is untrue, but this matter is indeed very important, so Ben Shuai must not be cautious! ”

Chu Xianzhang nodded and said: "Before leaving, Long Live Lord once summoned our family to the Qianqing Palace and gave instructions for a long time. This information was synthesized from the enemy situation reported by the Jinyi Wei Liaodong Qianhu Station and the Dongchang Liaodong Station. Even if Mao Shuai doesn't believe in Jinyiwei, can he still not believe in the East Factory, even if he doesn't believe in the meticulous work of the East Factory, can he still believe in the judgment of the current Shengshang and the princes of the Military Aircraft Department? ! ”

After hearing this, Mao Wenlong's mind turned, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Dongjiang Town and Jianguo are as deep as the sea, and they do not share the sky, the battle of Ding Mao, Jianyu led the army to attack North Korea, and the officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town were in Zhenjiangkou, Yizhou City (North Korea), Dingzhou City, Tieshan City, etc., and fought dozens of battles with countless casualties. It is unlikely that Jianyu will attack Korea again this autumn, but it seems that he came specifically for our Dongjiang River to avenge the losses suffered in the Battle of Ding Mao.

Of course, the commander believes that the emperor is long live the saint tomorrow, and also believes in the heroic talents of the military aircraft department, but after all, this matter is very important, if the Jianyu comes to attack me, my Dongjiang naturally cannot be unprepared, but all the words and strategies of war and defense are better than to know the enemy's situation first.

"As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Father-in-law Chu used to be tired, and he will rest a little today, and wait until tomorrow, and we will summon the generals again. ”

At this time, Chu Charter waved his hand, not only did he not take back the secret decree, but also pushed the box that originally contained the secret decree to Mao Wenlong's side, and said: "The Jianyu army is expected to attack in September, and this matter is related to the life and death of Dongjiang Town. ”

After saying this, Chu Xianzhang pointed to the exquisite box on the table and said: "This is the secret folding box that the emperor rewarded Mao Shuai with.

"And Yuan Shu Qianhu, in the future, will also represent the emperor and Jinyiwei to be stationed on Phi Island, first, to help Mao Shuai suppress traitors and counter-espionage for Dongjiang Town, and second, to convey the secret fold for Mao Shuai."

After listening to the previous sentence, Mao Wenlong suddenly had doubts in his heart, and after listening to the latter sentence, he was suddenly overjoyed. This is the legendary power of the secret fold! With this, you can directly cross the Governor of Denglai and the Governor of Jiliao, and even the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department, and directly talk to the current emperor, which is a good thing!

The more Mao Wenlong thought about it, the happier he became, since the secret fold should be specially delivered by Jinyi Wei, then Yuan Shu should stay and stay.

Besides, Yuan Keli is as kind to Dongjiang Town, and he is even more kind to Mao Wenlong, but he wants to oppose it, but there is no way to talk about it.

In this way, Yuan Shu, who was the Qianhu of the Jinyi Guard, was arranged into Dongjiang Town by Emperor Chongzhen, who had more than 300 years of experience in later generations.

The few people talked secretly for half an hour before it ended. Mao Wenlong asked Mao Zhongjin to call the housekeeper in the house and ordered him to arrange a room in the hall and invite Chu Xianxian, Yuan Shu and others to stay.
