Chapter 398: Let It Be

After Jiang Yueguang finished passing the holy decree, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask Mao Wenlong and others to get up, and then introduced the two deputy envoys who accompanied the envoy to North Korea, Li Xin and Zhang Pu, to Mao Wenlong and others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today, Mao Wenlong's family, his old mother, and his wife and daughter have all moved from Hangzhou to live in the mansion of the Marquis of Anton, which was given by the emperor in Beijing.

Although Mao Wenlong had not been to see it, he also asked people from time to time to send ginseng and seafood and other valuables from the Dongjiang River to the mansion of the Beijing Division, and honored his old mother.

However, a character like Mao Wenlong will naturally not be alone all the time, as early as at the beginning of the opening of the Dongjiang River, I don't know how many concubines were accepted on Phi Island, and even a general in Dongjiang Town, now Shen Shikui, the chief soldier of the Chinese army, has dedicated one of his beautiful daughters to Mao Wenlong as a concubine.

However, what is more rare is that now Shen Shikui's daughter is pregnant, although it is not known whether it is a man or a woman, but it makes Mao Wenlong love this rather different Shen, and even the relationship with Shen Shikui is much better.

Historically, although Shen Shikui married his beautiful daughter to Shangguan Mao Wenlong, who was older than him, Mao Wenlong still didn't trust him, except for his own righteous sons and grandsons who changed their surnames to Mao, he never let these generals with foreign surnames participate in the core maintenance of Dongjiang Town.

This situation also led to Shen Shikui and other non-Mao generals detaching themselves from Mao Wenlong, so later, when Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan's edict, Shen Shikui and others took the lead in attacking Mao Wenlong's many righteous sons and grandsons, such as Mao Chenglu and others, either simply killed or drove away.

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, the righteous sons and grandsons of Mao Wenlong, were forced away in this way, and these people left Dongjiang Town to defect to Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, after the chaos in Dongjiang Town, and there are such complex reasons behind this incident.

These righteous sons and grandsons of Mao Wenlong, although they changed back to their original surnames after Mao Wenlong's death, they were also labeled as Mao Wenlong and were included in the "blacklist" that cannot be trusted and reused by Yuan Chonghuan.

Because Emperor Chongzhen was about to rely on Yuan Chonghuan to guard Liaodong at that time, he could only pinch his nose and accept the charges set by Yuan Chonghuan against Mao Wenlong, and also accepted Yuan Chonghuan's follow-up arrangements for Dongjiang Town.

It is this point that makes these righteous sons and grandsons of Mao Wenlong extremely dissatisfied with Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming court, and finally accumulated, not only causing the Dongjiang Rebellion, but also causing the Denglai Rebellion of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Li Jiucheng and others, which not only completely destroyed Dongjiang Town, but also destroyed Denglai Town, the loss can be described as huge, and the damage can be described as far-reaching.

At the same time, the concubines that Mao Wenlong left in Dongjiang Town, of course, had no good end, and in the chaos, they either committed suicide or were killed.

Including Shen Shikui's own daughter, Mao Wenlong was also nowhere to be found after his death, as for whether she gave birth to a son for Mao Wenlong in the end, it is unknown.

Even if he is alive, it is estimated that he will not escape death.

Now, in this life, the situation has finally changed gratifyingly.

Mao Wenlong gained the trust of the imperial court, and the town of Donggang was continuously strengthened, and now he has not only won the battle to defend Donggang, but also won large tracts of land suitable for cultivation in Korea.

A large number of Han people in Liaodong who followed Mao Wenlong, the marshal of Dongjiang Town, who had lived on the surrounding islands for more than ten years, finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and finally waited for the day when the time came to operate, and they landed on the islands one after another, enclosed land and reclaimed wasteland, and once again lived the life of "a few acres of land, a cow, a wife, and a child's hot kang head".

Although these lands, across the Yalu River and the Douman River, and adjacent to the Houjin Kingdom of Jianyu, are really not real peaceful settlements, compared with the barren and poor land on the island, the land that originally belonged to Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province in North Korea, and now belongs to Andong Zhenshoufu, Andong Hou Mansion, and Pyongyang Bofu is already a very good choice.

"Phi Island, Yuncong Island, Sumeru Island a little closer, Guanglu Island, Shicheng Island, Ocean Island, Changshan Island and so on, on these islands, the Han people of Liaodong who have followed me Mao Wenlong for many years have now been transported ashore, divided into fields and land, and have a place to live.

"Every time I think of these, I think of Mao Wenlong, I think of my Dongjiang Town, and I can still have today, Dongjiang Town, I am really grateful to Your Majesty for the imperial grace!

"Lord Jiang is going to be in Korea, and when you return to Beijing, you must tell Your Majesty the gratitude of the people in Dongjiang Town to Your Majesty!"

Mao Wenlong accompanied Jiang Yueguang into the former Phidao Marshal's Mansion, and kept telling Jiang Yueguang about the various changes in Dongjiang Town, and in the end, he asked Jiang Yueguang to report all this to the emperor in the future.

Of course, these are just polite words.

Mao Wenlong has the right to perform secret folds in his hands, and of course he will not be stingy to boast about the merits and achievements of Dongjiang Town.

Even if there are some things that he didn't report to the emperor, now the big and small things that happened under the command of the Fifth Route General of Dongjiang Town can't be hidden for long, because all this has its own Jinyiwei Dongjiang Town's thousand households, and it is reported to the emperor through Jinyiwei's channel.

Yuan Keli's second son, Yuan Shu, is not a vegetarian.

However, although Emperor Chongzhen took a multi-pronged approach to the major and minor affairs of Dongjiang Town, he rarely intervened, whether it was to ignore people's lives, kill people and sell goods, coerce North Korea, set up private ports, extract tariffs, and even organize his own caravans to Nagasaki, Japan to trade with the Tokugawa shogunate.

Even this time, the imperial court's will is to reward the meritorious soldiers, the army and the Han people who fled from Liaodong free of charge to the land of Hamajing Province and Ping'an Province in North Korea, although it is also divided into 369 and so on, more or less, but after all, the imperial court requirements are gratuitous, and Mao Wenlong and his five general soldiers connived at the defenders from all over the shore, and charged a Chongzhen silver dollar registration fee for each household to register the soldiers and the fleeing Han people who came to register the enclosure and occupy the land.

For this alone, many local garrison generals under the command of the Fifth Route General Soldier in Dongjiang Town made a windfall.

Dongjiang Town did not report this situation, but it couldn't hide it from Yuan Shu of Jinyi Wei Dongjiang Town's Thousand Households, because in the past six months, Yuan Shu has not been idle, and now Jinyi Wei's Dongjiang Thousand Households has already spread all over most of the camps in Dongjiang Town, as well as in every city on the shore.

If you can't hide Yuan Shu, then you will definitely not be able to hide Gong Yonggu, the commander of Jinyiwei, and therefore you will definitely not be able to hide Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City, but for these things, Emperor Chongzhen, like other affairs in Dongjiang Town, chooses to let them go and ignore them.

It's not that Emperor Chongzhen really can't control Dongjiang Town, on the contrary, if he really wants to manage it, he can manage it, after all, although Yingzhou Island is now controlled by Mao Wenlong, the Marquis of Andong in Dongjiang Town, Mao Weizhang, Chen Jisheng and others are on the side of the imperial court.

It's just that if Emperor Chongzhen really wants to manage it so carefully, manage so much, and manage Dongjiang Town so hard like in history, it will really be a bit more than worth the loss.

Let's not talk about whether it will provoke a backlash from Dongjiang towns such as Anton Hou Mao Wenlong and Pyongyang Bo Liu Xingzuo, but it is said that the manpower, material resources, and even time and energy wasted on this are not something that today's imperial court can afford.

Emperor Chongzhen still has a clear distinction between the priorities and the urgency, and he will never do things that are unbearable and chaotic.

Besides, if there is no benefit, who will do things, not to mention that the stronger Dongjiang Town is now, the more beneficial it will be to the imperial court.

Because the more he grows, the greater the threat to the Jin State after the establishment of the captivity, and the more firmly he grasps the land under the jurisdiction of the current Andong Zhenshou Prefecture, and at the same time, he is between the Jianguo in the west of the Yalu River and the Joseon in the east of the Datong Jiangnan River, so he has to always obey the dispatch of the imperial court.

In that case, why interfere with his development and growth?

As for the trade between Dongjiang Town and Korea and Japan, this is also what Emperor Chongzhen is happy to see, especially the trade with Japan, as long as it successfully arouses the interest of Mao Wenlong and Liu Xingzuo in Japanese gold and silver, then many things will be much easier in the future.

"Master Hou is really good at laughing! Today's Dongjiang Town, but now it is not what it used to be, the Holy General Dongjiang Town's five-way army, hundreds of thousands of Han people, full authority entrusted to the command of Anton Hou, what kind of trust and grace is this? ! Master Hou, the weight of your last sentence in front of the Holy Lord is much greater than that of the deputy envoy of the Imperial Court!

"What's more, Dongjiang Town is now thriving in this grand situation, although the current saint is in the Forbidden City of Beijing, he is also deaf and clear-sighted, and he knows it clearly, where do you need Jiang Mou to speak well for the Hou Ye in front of the emperor?"

Jiang Yueguang listened to Mao Wenlong's joke and responded to him with a smile.

Mao Wenlong laughed when he heard it and said, "Yes! Thinking that back then, Mao took less than 200 Liaozhen warriors to go deep behind the enemy, die nine times, and open the Dongjiang River, how could he have thought that one day he would really be able to fight a war and become a marquis! ”

After saying this, there was another burst of happy laughter that got what he wanted! clause
