Chapter 399: So Good
While speaking, the group entered the Andong Hou Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mao Wenlong has a tough personality and can endure hardships, which is of course true, but on the other hand, Mao Wenlong is also a person who likes luxury, likes beautiful women, likes fine clothes and food and enjoys life.
In the past, he was still like this when the island was poor, but now the imperial court has no shortage of salaries and supplies, and he has obtained a lot of wealth from the charging enclosure and the plundering of Korea by the army for a while, which is naturally even more luxurious.
Now the Anton Hou Mansion on Phi Island is the former Dongjiang Town's General Soldier's Mansion, that is, the Marshal's Mansion, and now it has been changed to the Anton Hou Mansion, the front and back five courtyards, the first two into the lobby of the Shuai Mansion are still the second hall of the Shuaifu, which is the place where Mao Wenlong deals with official affairs, and the last three into the place where Mao Wenlong and his concubines live and enjoy themselves.
Entering the Hou Mansion of Anton, Mao Wenlong directly led the group to the second hall in the Hou Mansion.
Above the second hall is naturally a piece of magnificence, all the Huanghuali official hat chairs in the hall are decorated with black mink fur, and a large circle chair in the middle is covered with a very rare white tiger skin, and the head of the tiger skin is where it is stepping on.
Mao Wenlong first invited Jiang Yueguang, Li Xin, Zhang Pu, Qiao Qitai and others to sit down on the chairs covered with mink fur, and he stepped forward generously and sat on the main seat, and then said: "Lord Jiang and the two deputy envoys have been running around at sea and have worked hard from afar, and now they are on my Phi Island, and they should have a good rest." Besides, Master Jiang and I are old people, and old people come from afar, if we don't talk about it for a few days, how can we make sense!
"As for the matter of North Korea, my marshal's mansion will pass in a few days, and let the soldiers under the command of the General Soldiers of the Fifth Route of Dongjiang seal their swords and stop their hands, and they can be at peace with the North Koreans for the time being, so Lord Jiang doesn't have to worry about this.
"It is expected that this time the courtiers will pay tribute to Beijing, and they must have made a big show of Dongjiang Town's abuse and killing of the courtiers in front of the saints, and said a lot of bad things about us. However, now there are very few Koreans left in the jurisdiction of Andong Town, who have either been taken captive by Jiannu before, or have been driven south, in fact, there are not many abuses and killings.
"I don't know if Lord Jiang came here this time, what words does the Holy Lord have to say about this matter?"
Jiang Yueguang heard what Mao Wenlong said, and knew that he still cared about the emperor's opinion of him and even Dongjiang Town, so he said with a smile: "What the courtiers say, with the wisdom of today's saints, how can they listen to it!" ”
After saying this, Jiang Yueguang continued: "The Holy Emperor ordered the Imperial Court to negotiate a treaty with the Korean envoys, and from now on, all the lands of Haseong Province and Ping'an Province in Korea will be transferred to the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, between my Ming Dynasty and the vassal state of Korea will be the boundary between the Datong Jiangnan River. The west and north of the Jiangnan River in Datong are all the territory of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, they are all under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town. When I say this, Master Hou is relieved? ”
After Mao Wenlong heard this, he first thought thoughtfully, then stroked his palms and laughed, and then nodded again and again, and said: "Today's saint is really wise!" So good, so good! This is exactly what we and other border town soldiers want! ”
As soon as Mao Wenlong's words fell, he suddenly heard the following person say: "How can the Marquis of Anton discuss the king?!" Now the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town is comparable to the local province of the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty does not set up a superintendent and a capital division, does not set up a political punishment, and does not even set up a county official, but with the full power of military and political supervision to grant Andong Hou a person, Dongjiang Town Five Road General Soldiers are all under the control of the Hou Ye, since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven has been deeply favored by his subordinates, and there is no such thing! Hou Ye can be an example of Dongjiang, he should work hard to repay the effect, how can he be cautious in his words and deeds now? ! ”
The person who said these words was the deputy envoy Zhang Pu who followed him.
After Zhang Pu finished saying this, he didn't wait for Mao Wenlong to respond, and continued to say to himself: "The monarch, the ministers, the father, the son, the king treats the courtiers with all his heart and heart, benevolence and righteousness, so those who are courtiers should do their best and die." This is the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and it is also the foundation of human ethics. In the Xia Wuchen Branch Tanhua, edited by the Hanlin Academy, and sent the deputy envoy to North Korea, Zhang Pu, please Anton Hou abide by the way of the people! ”
Zhang Pu said these words rhetorically and looked at Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong opened his mouth, looked left and right, and finally smiled awkwardly and said, "What Tan Huagong said is good!" Ben Hou lost his words! I, Dongjiang Town, have been Your Majesty, have done my best for the court, and have died! ”
Jiang Yueguang and Li Xin didn't expect that Zhang Pu would say such a thing at this juncture, but thinking about this person, who has always flaunted himself as a disciple of the Holy Gate, a descendant of famous religions, and Confucian orthodoxy, it is reasonable to say this.
However, in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere on the scene, Jiang Yueguang followed Mao Wenlong's words and said: "There is a treaty between the imperial court and North Korea, Lord Hou might as well take a look!" ”
This treaty was originally to be given to Donggang Town for the record, but at this time, the procedures for the exchange of contracts between the two sides have not been finalized, and the seal of the Korean lord has not yet been stamped, so it cannot be left to Donggang Town for the time being, but there is nothing wrong with showing him in advance.
After Jiang Yueguang said this, Li Xin took out a letter of appointment from a box he was carrying, took a few steps forward, and handed it to Mao Wenlong with his own hands.
Mao Wenlong immediately took it, looked at it quietly, and saw that the agreement between the imperial court and North Korea stated the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, as well as the ownership of the land of Xianjing Road and Ping'an Road, and he was even more relieved.
After Mao Wenlong himself read it, he immediately passed it to Shen Shikui, Li Xingzhong, Geng Zhongming, and others, who were sitting in the first row of Dongjiang Town on Phi Island, and read them one by one.
Everyone watched it one by one, and the small unhappiness caused by Zhang Pu's words before quickly dissipated.
What these people were most worried about was that the imperial court in Beijing would change its decree at night, and they were worried that the emperor would not be able to withstand the pleas of the Korean envoys, and then return the things that had already entered the stomachs of the soldiers in Dongjiang Town.
At this time, I looked at the treaty between the Ming Dynasty and Korea, that is, the suzerainty and the vassal state, and looked at the jade seal of the Ming Emperor that had been stamped on it, and the stones hanging in everyone's hearts fell.
One by one, I thought in my heart, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty really changed his temperament, and he became more and more disgusted with our group of martial artists!
The reason why Mao Wenlong insisted on quickly arranging the Han refugees from Liaodong, who had previously taken refuge on the islands and near the coast of Korea, to the newly occupied land of Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province in North Korea, and even did not hesitate to use a large number of swords, guns, bows and arrows and other ordnance materials supplied by the imperial court to the soldiers of Dongjiang Town to arm all the Han people in Liaodong who had gone ashore to grab land, so as to fight against the Koreans who defended their homeland and refused to leave, was that he was worried that the night would be long and dreamy.
If this side has not started to act, the policy of the imperial court over there will change, and it will be troublesome when the bamboo basket is empty.
Speaking of which, it is impossible not to worry about Dongjiang Town, because such a thing has really happened before.
The soldiers and people under the command of the Fifth Route General of Dongjiang Town were moved by the order before, and quickly stepped up their efforts to take all kinds of extreme measures against the rebellious Koreans, the purpose of which was only to implement the imperial court's edict as soon as possible to allow the islanders to go ashore and occupy the land of the Koreans, that is, to make the raw rice into mature rice as soon as possible, so that the whole thing would become an irreversible fait accompli.
The result of this has certainly brought about many violent massacres, but the speed of relocation and land division is extremely astonishing and effective.
Even in many plain areas close to the city and fertile land, the generals and officials of Dongjiang Town charged the people who occupied the land for registration and confirmation, but they still could not stop the enthusiasm of the Han refugees in Liaodong for the land.
The 200,000 or 300,000 Han refugees from Liaodong, who were originally very crowded living near various islands and coasts, moved ashore in less than half a year after September of the first year of Chongzhen, and quickly seized almost all the arable land that could be seized.
The Han people, who were skeptical and slower, had no choice but to push all the way north to Xianjing Road, where they occupied the mountains and forests that were closer to Jianyu and were mostly mountainous and hilly.
