So, as soon as the morning dawned, when Emperor Chongzhen woke up, he habitually entered the chat group for the first time to check the news, and received a private chat from Wei Mulan: "Your Majesty Lu Zhongcheng, what will happen to the Hanmin in Liaodong in the future?" After seizing Liaoyang and reinvigorating the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Zhongcheng speculated that a large number of Han people had fled back, and what should be done with these? ”

"Although Dongjiang has re-contacted Jiangnan merchants and allowed them to trade in Dongjiang, it has only been more than three months now, and there are few merchants and insufficient materials, so I am afraid that it will not be able to support the arrangement of a large number of Han people in Liaodong!"

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he knew that Lu Xiangsheng was asking for support from the imperial court. Indeed, if Lu Xiangsheng seized Liaoyang and went to Shenyang to show his face, it would be more shocking than in the previous Mao Wenlong era, and it would give more hope to the Han people in Liaodong, and more Han people in Liaodong would abscond to the coastline and flee to the Dongjiang River.

Originally, the materials of the Dongjiang River were very scarce, and Lu Xiangsheng, as the governor of Denglai, had already tried his best to mobilize materials from Denglai, but it was also limited. If you add a lot of mouths to eat at once, I'm afraid there will be a famine.

If those Han people fled back to the Dongjiang River with all their lives, and eventually starved to death, they would be so sorry for them. Lu Xiangsheng thought of these things in advance, and it was far-sighted to let the imperial court make arrangements.

If you want to say that this matter was raised a few months ago, Emperor Chongzhen really couldn't do anything. After all, he didn't have any food left in his hands. The grain shortage in Shanxi and Shaanxi is also very large. Recently, however, there is a batch of grain that can be put into the Dongjiang River.

Thinking so, he immediately chatted with Liu Jinsheng privately: "What's the situation over there?" ”

Liu Jinsheng received a private chat from the emperor, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, your subordinates and Lord Xu are expected to be able to go to Annan one day!" ”

When Zheng Zhilong's sailor received Xu Guangqi in Guangzhou, Liu Jinsheng had already reported to Emperor Chongzhen once. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen knew the scale of Zheng Zhilong's sailor and the approximate itinerary. At this time, when he heard that the arrival date was basically the same as expected, he ordered again: "Send an order to Xu Guangqi, order him to collect as much grain as possible, ship grain as soon as possible, and send it directly to the Dongjiang River." Spread the message to Zheng Zhilong, do a good job in Annan, and transport grain to the destination, it is a great achievement, if I am satisfied, in addition to my own reward, Yin Qi's son is a hundred households of Jinyi Wei. ”

Originally, the name of Zheng Chenggong in history, Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew. Although Zheng Chenggong is only 6 years old in this plane, and he is not called Zheng Chenggong, it does not prevent him from having a good impression of him, so when he encouraged Zheng Zhilong to work hard, he simply named his son as a hundred households of Jinyi Wei.

Of course, this brocade guard is actually a false position, that is, a name, with this honor, and a salary. But this kind of honor can only be treated by courtiers who have made great contributions.

After sending this message, Liu Jinsheng did not reply immediately. Emperor Chongzhen immediately guessed something, and was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, and immediately reminded: "No matter how many grievances you and Zheng Zhilong have in private, if anyone affects state affairs, I will never spare it, understand?" ”

"Understood, Your Majesty rest assured!" Liu Jinsheng listened to it and hurriedly replied. At least at this time, he had just turned over and got out of trouble because of the grace of the saint, and he didn't dare to have any dissent.

Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't warn him again, he was vigilant in his heart. Most of these pirate-born people do not have the heart of loyalty to the country, but more interests. For these people, it is necessary to have time, and they must return to the furnace for reform, and in addition, the decentralization of the supervision army must also be as soon as possible.

Thinking so, he immediately sent a decree to summon Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to meet him.

In the Wuying Palace, as soon as Liu Xingzuo came in to see the emperor, although he behaved the same as before after the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen still noticed that he seemed to be a little different from the past today.

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen thought of the approximate reason, it should be the photo that Liu Xingzuo saw last night of the Han slaves in Liaodong, which aroused his thoughts of missing his family, right?

So, he smiled first and said, "I guess Qing has already seen last night's photos." Governor Denglai has arrived near Liaoyang, and one of the purposes of his trip is to go to Shenyang to save Qing's family. I didn't tell you before, because I was afraid that you would be distracted, and I wanted to tell Qing after I was rescued. ”

Liu Xingzuo heard it for a while, and then his emotions could no longer be hidden, his eyes were red, and he immediately knelt on the ground, and said excitedly: "How can the last general, how can he make His Majesty send the governor of Denglai to save the last general's family!" ”

"Hehe, Liu Qing is flat!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and stretched out his hand to sign, "Don't say that Qing is my right-hand man, that is, ordinary courtiers, or ordinary people, like your family, I will also send someone to rescue me." Qing's family is really a model for the people of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Hearing that the emperor highly praised his family, Liu Xingzuo was even more excited. How many families in the world can get this praise?

He immediately calmed down, tried to suppress his excitement, and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to withdraw your order, and don't let Governor Denglai put himself in danger." Even if the Jianyu army goes out, Shenyang is a puppet capital, and it will definitely not be able to capture it with less than a thousand men and horses. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said with a smile: "Liu Qing don't have to worry too much, your family has been imprisoned in the Zhuangzi of Huang Taiji outside Shenyang City. I am still listening to the specific news. Governor Lu led 800 cavalry, he should be able to rescue Qing's family, and rest assured! ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Xingzuo knew that his family really had hope of being rescued. All of a sudden, he was a commander of the brocade guard, but he had tears in his eyes, and he couldn't speak for a while, just kowtowed.

At this time, in his mind, he thought of the scene of saying goodbye to his mother at the beginning: his mother's earnest teachings, reassuring himself and escaping back to Daming, echoed in his ears one by one.

"Son, my mother is already old, don't worry about my mother! Jianyu is so brutal, the son should return to the Ming Dynasty, serve the country, make up for the merits, and don't disgrace the ancestors!"

"An alien race is a foreign race after all, barbaric and brutal, return to the Ming Dynasty to make meritorious contributions, and die without regrets!"

“……”

After a long while, Emperor Chongzhen waited for Liu Xingzuo's mood to calm down, and then said the purpose of calling him over: "Fujian is far away from Beijing, and it is difficult to control, so Qing should arrange Jinyi Wei's secret agents to be in the forces of Li Zhiqi and Zheng Zhilong as soon as possible!" ”

"The last will obey!" When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he immediately responded loudly, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished ordering this, he asked him to hurry up and do it. Then came Wang Chengen, the eunuch of Dongchang's palm print, and explained the same thing. Let the two parts of the factory and the guard arrange secret agents separately, only in this way can we rest assured.
