After Jiang Yueguang met with the North Korean envoy, he wrote down the meeting and reported it to Wu Weiying, who in turn reported it to the British Minister of Military Aircraft, Zhang Weixian, who was in charge of this matter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Next, the British Duke Zhang Weixian took Wu Weiying and Jiang Yueguang to the gate of the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen learned that Zhang Weixian brought Wu Weiying and Jiang Yueguang to ask for an audience, and knew that there was progress in the matter of dealing with the Korean envoys, so he asked them to come in.

Several people entered the palace, saluted the emperor, and then explained the recent meeting between Wu Weiying and Jiang Yueguang with the DPRK envoys, and also presented a written report written by Jiang Yueguang after meeting with the DPRK envoys.

Emperor Chongzhen listened quietly at first, and after listening, he read Jiang Yueguang's report, and after understanding the whole situation, he sighed slightly and said: "There is nothing wrong with the treatment of the Korean envoys by the Li Fan Yuan. The reason why the North Korean envoys still refused to agree is that I think it is because they themselves are stubborn and have illusions!

"Now, although they know that our Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming who treated everything politely in the past, they may think that my Ming Dynasty did not seize the military power of North Korea.

"In that case, I see, you can give them another salute before the soldiers, maybe let them see the military power of my Ming Dynasty today, and they will be able to talk!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the report written by Jiang Yueguang again, and suddenly changed his words, and said to Zhang Weixian and Wu Weiying: "Zhang Aiqing, Wu Aiqing, I see that today's report on the meeting with the Korean envoy is well written, and it is very clear before and after, which shows that Jiang Yueguang is indeed a clear-headed person who is well versed in feudal affairs. I plan to let him leave the Zhan Mansion, and you Zhongyun will be promoted to the deputy envoy of the Imperial Court and concurrently serve as the Senator of the Military Aircraft Department, and be in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Court, do you two have any opinions? ”

Emperor Chongzhen said so, how dare Zhang Weixian and Wu Weiying have opinions.

Besides, Zhang Weixian can also see clearly that Wu Weiying has his natural advantages in dealing with the Mongolian tribes in northern Cyprus, and Jiang Yueguang, who has been an envoy to North Korea, is more experienced in dealing with a vassal state like Korea, otherwise the emperor would not agree to Li Banghua's suggestion and let Jiang Yueguang come forward on behalf of the Imperial Court.

And Wu Weiying also understands his shortcomings, and the Korean envoy can no longer communicate with the envoy of the North Korean country, and he also has a headache when he encounters such a pedantic person who reads and reads stupidly, and he also has a headache, at this time, seeing the emperor say this, he looked at the British Duke Zhang Weixian, and knew that Zhang Weixian did not object, so he immediately said: "Lord Jiang was born in Hanlin, and he has been an envoy to North Korea, and he has handled the affairs of the domain. ”

Wu Weiying is the emperor's hand-appointed envoy of the Imperial Academy, he has no opinion, Zhang Weixian, the minister of military aircraft who is in charge of the Imperial Academy, sees that there is one more talent in the Imperial Academy, and he can put Wu Weiying's unfair things in order for himself, of course, he has no opinion.

Therefore, Zhang Weixian also bowed down and said: "The minister has no objection!" ”

Seeing that they all said so, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Jiang Yueguang and said, "Jiang Yueguang, are you willing?" ”

Of course Jiang Yueguang is willing.

Li Banghua recommended him to participate in this matter, on the one hand, because he had been an envoy to North Korea and was more experienced in dealing with North Koreans, and on the other hand, because he had always had this ambition.

At this time, when he heard the emperor's words, he straightened himself out of the idle yamen of Zhan Shifu, which had nothing to do, and put him in the Lifan Yuan, which was in charge of the affairs of foreign feudal states, and he was still a deputy envoy under one person, of course he was 10,000 willing.

Therefore, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, Jiang Yueguang stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said: "Weichen Jiang Yueguang bows to thank the emperor for his grace!" When the minister arrives at the Li Fan Yuan, he will do his best for the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty, and he will die! ”

After listening to him, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and said to Li Xin, a military aircraft resident who was standing not far away: "Li Xin, you go to the cabinet to pass on my will, and from now on, Jiang Yueguang, the right middle of the Zhan Mansion, will be transferred to the post of deputy envoy of the Imperial Academy, and concurrently serve as the military aircraft senator of the Military Aircraft Department. ”

Li Xin wrote down the emperor's will and hurried to the cabinet hall to be on duty.

Jiang Yueguang kowtowed again to thank him.

After Emperor Chongzhen let him calm down, he said to Zhang Weixian: "The Korean envoys salute first and then the soldiers, so that they can know the strength of my Ming Dynasty's current military might, if so, the best way is to take them to the camp of the first town of the Tongzhou Guards."

"The Military Aircraft Department wrote to the Guards Battalion and asked Wu Weiying and Jiang Yueguang to take them over. There is no need to organize any proofreading, just follow the daily schedule and let them see the training of the Guards. ”

After Zhang Weixian and the others heard this, they immediately understood what the emperor meant, and immediately retreated.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wu Weiying and Jiang Yueguang took three Korean envoys to Tongzhou in a carriage.

Jiang Yueguang only said that the DPRK envoy had come to Daming for many days, but he had not moved around, and now that the negotiations have reached an impasse, if he or she walks around, perhaps the envoy will have new ideas.

Although Jin Shangrong and the others were puzzled, but after many years, the emperors and officials of the Ming Dynasty had changed so much, and they were not at all the Ming court style that they knew in the past, so they listened to the arrangements, thinking about the panicked words that Jiang Yueguang had said before, while pondering what choice should be made.

Jingshi to Tongzhou is not far away, fifty miles of road, the road conditions in the past are not good, if you do an ordinary carriage, then it will take half a day to arrive, and now the emperor has been to Tongzhou twice, the road conditions of Jingshi to Tongzhou are naturally not what they used to be, not only more spacious, but also more smooth, although it has not reached the luxury of paving the ground with cement, but the slag transported from Tongzhou and Baiye City is put on the ground, and then paved with a layer of sand and gravel, and then compacted, the effect is almost the same.

Especially now that the steering problem and shock absorption problem have been solved, the speed of the four-wheeled carriage is still not as fast as that of a simple horse, but compared with the traditional two-wheeled carriage in the past, it is much faster.

Three Korean envoys sat in a four-wheeled carriage with two horses alongside each other, marveling at the convenience of the carriages and horses of the Rifan Temple, and at the same time guessing the destination of the trip.

An hour or so, Wu Weiying, Jiang Yueguang and other Korean envoys took Jin Shangrong and other Korean envoys to the outside of Tongzhou City, and the officials of the Li Fan Yuan who had fought in front had already arrived at the Tongzhou camp and informed Ma Shilong, the chief military officer of the first town of the Guards, and Qian Yuanyu, the imperial history of the supervising army.

Jiang Yueguang and Qian Yuanyu have long been like-minded old friends, so as soon as they met, they understood what the emperor meant.

After the order was delivered, knowing that the emperor had arranged for an envoy from the Joseon State to come to see the drills in the first town of the Guards, he naturally held back his strength, and everyone was in good spirits to show that he had trained the hardest in his usual life.

Jin Shangrong and other North Korean envoys followed all the way, and finally they were actually pulled into a military camp outside Tongzhou City, everyone was shocked, and then followed Wu Weiying and Jiang Yueguang, all the way After watching the actual soldiers and drills that seemed to be unintentional but actually carefully arranged, everyone was terrified.

Especially after listening to Wu Weiying's explanation all the time, Jin Shangrong and others silently made a comparison between the military strength of the Ming Dynasty and the military strength of the North Korean State itself, and then they were in no mood to watch it anymore.

Not to mention the endless emergence of all kinds of unheard-of firearms in the Ming army, just to say that in the cold wind, on the ground covered with ice and snow, the Ming soldiers stood like pines, sat like clocks, stood like a forest, and marched like a wall, which is not comparable to the soldiers of the Korean country.

That night, the three envoys from North Korea took a carriage and returned to the capital city of Daming, and the mentality when they came back was of course different from the mentality before they went.

After arriving in Beijing, Wu Weiying didn't bother to talk to the North Koreans, so she went back to her home.

Jiang Yueguang, who was the new deputy envoy of the Imperial Court, sent the three envoys back to the pavilion to continue to rest and wait.

After arranging the affairs of the building, Jiang Yueguang was about to say goodbye and leave, when Yin Xuan, the supervisor of Anping, bowed down, and suddenly stepped forward quickly and said to him: "The minister dares to ask Lord Jiang a question. If the monarchs and ministers of the contempt country acted in accordance with the will of the Ming Emperor, could the Ming court send an order to Dongjiang Town as soon as possible to stop occupying the land on the east bank of the Datong River? ”

As soon as Yin Xuan said this, Jin Shangrong and Li Tinggui, who were standing on the side, all glared at him angrily, obviously Yin Xuan said something they didn't want him to say or didn't want to hear.

And Jiang Yueguang immediately understood the bottom line of the Korean monarchs and ministers when he heard this, and immediately said: "If the monarchs and ministers of the Er Kingdom obey the will of my Ming court, then the Er Kingdom is still my Ming vassal state, and the rest of the questions, several envoys can naturally ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in person." Come to think of it, I, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, will give you a reasonable answer. ”

I see!

Jin Shangrong and Li Tinggui no longer cared if Yin Xuan said something that should not be said, at this time, after listening to Jiang Yueguang's words, they realized that it was not Dongjiang who was the obstruction, and all of this was what Emperor Ming meant.

If they don't accept the will of the previous emperor, they won't be able to see the emperor himself, and they won't be able to stop Liu Xingzuo from continuing to go south to enclose the land, and if they want to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they must first accept His Majesty's disposition of the land that originally belonged to Korea.

After finally understanding it, Jin Shangrong said: "In that case, let me wait for some deliberation and discussion, and give Master Jiang a reply tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yueguang walked a few steps out, turned around and said: "This official and you, two years ago, there were several faces, here I specially give you a sentence that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty often said, today's world, like a jungle infested with a hundred beasts, all countries must abide by the same law, this law is the law of the jungle. ”
