By the end of June, the rebuilding of Yingzhou City was completed, and all the affairs on Yingzhou Island were finally on the right track. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that the time had entered July, Mao Weizhang, who was already relieved at this time, ordered Mao Youde to return with the fleet of Dongjiang Town, which had been docked in Yingzhouao, back to Phi Island, Tieshan, Dingzhou, and Pyongyang, and recruit more Han refugees from Liaodong to come to Yingzhou Island for reclamation, and by the way, he also brought back a thousand good horses carefully selected from the island's horse farm to Mao Wenlong, the marshal of Dongjiang Town.

After Mao Youde left with the fleet, Mao Wei Zhang Chen Jisheng sat in Yingzhouao, continued to urge the captured indigenous young people on the island to build ports and castles, and at the same time ordered Bi Denghan to lead a team of men and horses, with a secret fold written to Emperor Chongzhen, from Seogwipo to take a passing merchant ship to Dengzhou Town, a month later, from Weihaiwei ashore, and then transfer to the capital to report the victory and deliver the secret fold.

After Emperor Chongzhen received Mao Weizhang's report and request for merit, he had some measures to go to Wuyingdian in advance.

Today's Yingzhou Island is isolated overseas, which does not help much for the imperial court to eliminate the rebellion in Jianyu and pacify the Guannei, but it is of great significance for the expansion of the Ming Dynasty overseas in the future.

At least for the time being, it can also provide a suitable place for the refugees in Liaodong and Denglai, even if it cannot directly affect the elimination of Jianguo, it can also poach as many Han refugees in Liaodong as possible under Jianguo's rule, and weaken Jianguo's economic strength in disguise.

Because of this, Emperor Chongzhen quickly agreed to Mao Weizhang's request, not only approved the expansion plan of the Dongjiang Town Supervision Army Standard Battalion in accordance with Mao Weizhang's suggestion, but also gave Chen Xiasheng, Chen Qiusheng, Lin Chuanfu, Lin Chuanbao and others the rank of coastal defense guerrilla, capital division, garrison, and general officer, and also promoted Chen Jisheng to the deputy chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, and continued to assist Mao Weizhang in commanding the standard battalion of the supervision army and guarding Yingzhou Island.

At the same time, he also promoted Kong Youde to the guerrilla of the right battalion of the standard battalion of the supervising army as a general, and still ordered the commander to lead the right battalion, and promoted Bi Denghan to the guerrilla of the Chinese army in the standard battalion, and concentrated on the horse team and artillery team of the standard battalion of the supervising army.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty immediately set up the Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion on Yingzhou Island, and ordered Mao Weizhang to be promoted from the six-grade imperial history of the Imperial Court to the five-grade imperial history, so that he would continue to serve as the imperial history of the Dongjiang Town Supervisor at the same time, and concurrently serve as the Yingzhou Town Guard, and entrust Mao Weizhang with full authority to dispose of all military, political, commercial and civilian affairs on the entire Yingzhou Island.

After Emperor Chongzhen asked Shen Tingyang, a scholar in the Wuying Palace, to draft this holy decree, he also transferred Mao Weizhang's secret fold to several military ministers for reference.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Shen Tingyang, Li Xin, and Niu Juming, Zhongjinshi, were all ordered to be the middle scholars of the Wuying Palace, mainly on duty in the Wuying Palace, which was a kind of secretarial position in the Military Aircraft Department.

And several other people known to Emperor Chongzhen, such as Lu Daqi, Li Mengchen, Wang Zhang, Gao Doushu, Song Yingxing, etc., were originally ranked relatively low and were not qualified to enter the Hanlin Academy, so they were all ordered to be scholars in the cabinet, and they were on duty in Wenhua Hall and Wenyuan Pavilion respectively.

As for the new champion, the famous Shi Kefa in later generations, as well as Xia Yunyi, Tanhua Zhang Pu, and the fourth Wu Weiye, although the literary talent is extraordinary, but because of the ranking in the top four, he can only enter the Hanlin Academy according to the convention, and there are still twenty or thirty such people, and there are revisions, editors, and Shujishi for their appointments.

The rest of the other new scholars either left Beijing long ago, or they were still in the six ministries and the prisons of the temples and palaces.

At the end of June, the new branch champion and the Hanlin Academy revised the history of the law and asked the emperor for approval to let the new branch scholars who had already obtained official positions and served in the center visit various places in Gyeonggi to observe the government and understand the military and government and the people.

Therefore, throughout July, these new science and technology scholars who were assigned to the Hanlin Academy, the Cabinet, and the Military Aircraft Department first visited the Tongzhou Lecture Hall, the Agricultural Affairs Institute, and the Gun Factory, and then successively visited the Zhuozhou New Army Training Camp and the Zunhua Baiyecheng Iron Works.

After mid-July, Shen Tingyang, Li Xin, and Niu Juming, who were assigned to the military aircraft department, went to Xuanfu, Jizhen, and Shanhaiguan together to gain a preliminary understanding of the entire northern border defense of Gyeonggi.

Shen Tingyang, who was very interested in the sailor, also went to see the sailor camp Dragon and Tiger Camp in Ninghai City, Shanhai Town.

It wasn't until the end of the month-long political observation that these new science and technology scholars hurried back, and the gains of their trip should not be underestimated.

Especially Li Xin and Niu Juming, who had rebelled against the Ming Dynasty in history, after seeing the vibrant new atmosphere in the land of Gyeonggi, the idea that the Ming Dynasty was about to run out of energy was automatically eliminated before it had time to sprout.

Shen Tingyang, a scholar in the Wuying Palace, drafted the emperor's will to Mao Weizhang, and then took people with Li Xin and Niu Juming respectively, and immediately distributed them to the three ministers of military aircraft.

In the afternoon of the next day, the three ministers of military aircraft came together to ask for an audience. After Emperor Chongzhen summoned him, Zhang Weixian, the British minister of military aircraft, took the lead in saying: "Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Mao Weizhang, the superintendent of Dongjiang Town, opened a new territory for my Ming Dynasty, which is really gratifying! The imperial court rewarded the meritorious soldiers as they deserved! Chancellor fully agrees! ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

At this time, Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty! Since I became an ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, I have rarely made contributions to foreign development, and now Mao Wei and Zhang supervised the army in Dongjiang Town for only a few months, that is, this meritorious service was built, which is indeed gratifying! It is also reasonable for the court to reward him.

"It's just that the ministers are worried, the Korean generation is my Ming vassal, loyal and commendable, last year was forced by Jianlu, and had to pay tribute to Jianlu, but to this day, the Korean lord Li is still serving the Ming Dynasty. The minister thought that this matter should be reported to the Imperial Court in case the Korean lord sent an envoy to ask for it. ”

After hearing Sun Chengzong say this, Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, the scholar at this time is really dead to save face, such a big benefit in front of him, he has to have some gentlemanly style, so he simply said: "Sun Aiqing is too worried." Since the lord of the Joseon has already paid tribute to Jianlu, how can he talk about loyalty and commendability. Since I have switched to Jianyu, and I am an enemy country of the Ming Dynasty, I don't care whether I serve the Ming Dynasty or not. If the lord of North Korea thinks that just North Korea can step on two boats between Jianyu and Daming, curry favor at both ends and benefit from both ends, then he is very wrong. ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Although my Ming Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles, I don't have an inch of extra land. Now the so-called Jeju in North Korea has become the Yingzhou of our Ming Dynasty. If the lord of Korea wants to ask for it, he will send troops to fight. I will never exchange the land that my Ming soldiers shed blood and wounded in exchange for the meaningless loyalty and respect of Korea! ”

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he hurriedly left his seat and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of doing so. If Your Majesty has made up his mind and declared Korea to be the enemy of our Ming Dynasty on the grounds that it has been converted to Jianqing, the minister thinks that the dilemma of Dongjiang Town can be solved.

"The imperial court can order Mao Wenlong's troops in Dongjiang Town to choose an opportunity to go ashore, occupy land, and recruit Liao people to prepare for a counterattack on Liaodong. If this is the case, His Majesty's strategy of attacking the east and defending the west will be completely alive. Please let Your Majesty know it. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was relieved, and he also got up from his seat and stepped forward to help Sun Chengzong himself.

After Emperor Chongzhen returned to the throne and sat down, he said, "But I misunderstood what Sun Aiqing meant. Now that I've said this today, I've also made my intentions clear to several ministers of war.

"I heard that the Han people Chen Tang has a saying, those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away! From now on, my Ming Dynasty will no longer have a country that will not be conquered, and all the countries that want to conquer my territory, kill my people, and damage my business travel are all enemy countries of the Ming Dynasty.

"Whoever can pacify the enemy country for my Ming Dynasty, I will not hesitate to give the title of the prince!"
