Chapter 449: Be Honest and Honest
After the banquet, Zhu Daolin returned to Phi Dao with the draft cooperation signed by the two sides, while Li Kan and Shin Kyung-jin returned to Anju City, and rushed to the national capital on the north bank of the Han River early the next morning to inform the Korean monarch Yi Ju and the four major families of the great results of the talks.
When Zhu Daolin returned to Phi Dao, he immediately convened a meeting of the chief of the quartermaster department, the chief of military affairs, the director of the branch of the Sihai Commercial Bank, and the director of the branch of the Sihai Qianzhuang to implement all kinds of cooperation with the DPRK on everyone's heads, and asked the heads of various departments to draw up a detailed plan.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Huaizhong, the minister of the Qin Mission, finally arrived on the special treasure ship of the Dengzhou Naval Division.
Zhu Daolin led more than ten generals to wear official uniforms and stand on the dock to greet him, Zhao Huaizhong was overjoyed and did not need to escort the brocade wrestlers to support, "Oh" a few times over the gangplank to the dock, stepped forward to support Zhu Daolin's hands, and did not let Zhu Daolin salute him:
"Oh, our family doesn't dare to receive the general's gift! Our family just boarded the ship at Dengzhou Wharf, and suddenly received the news of the victory in Liaodong, and almost cried with joy! ”
"My father-in-law has won the award, and fighting for the country is within the division of the officers and men of the Dongjiang New Army, and I don't deserve such praise from my father-in-law...... First go to the lobby of the trading house above to take a breath and drink tea, and then listen to my father-in-law's instructions. Zhu Daolin smiled kindly.
Zhao Huaizhong said yes repeatedly, took Zhu Daolin's hand and strode forward, the fat all over his body trembled, and told Zhu Daolin excitedly as he walked:
"I'm afraid the general doesn't know, our family came to urge the general to attack Liaodong on the order of the saint this time, and the saint has been so anxious that his lips are foaming for more than a month, and he can't sleep at night!"
"Before leaving the capital, everyone didn't know that the general had personally led the Dongjiang New Army to launch the Battle of Liaodong, and no one dared to think that this battle would be cut down by nearly 5. 000 Tartar heads, this is an unprecedented victory! ”
"The miscellaneous family dares to say that the Holy One must be ecstatic at this moment, and maybe he has already brought the Tartar head you sent to pay tribute to the ancestors and ancestors."
Zhu Daolin deliberately asked: "Father-in-law is not worried about me Zhu Daolin killing good and risking merit?" ”
Zhao Huaizhong immediately stopped, pretending to be displeased and blamed: "Does the general still treat our family as an outsider?" Who doesn't know who you are and what we are in the inner court? ”
"Speaking of which, your uncle Wu Gonggong is also the uncle of our family, and we are of the same generation. Even if we don't have this friendship, our family will never believe that you, Zhu Daolin, will do the dirty thing of killing good and risking merit...... In this big tomorrow, only you, Zhu Daolin, disdain to do this kind of thing. ”
"Father-in-law Zhao still understands me Zhu Daolin!"
After Zhu Daolin finished speaking, he immediately took a step back and solemnly bowed to Zhao Huaizhong, and saw that the dozens of eunuchs and brocade wrestlers who followed behind were all straightened.
Zhao Huaizhong laughed, happily accepted the salute, stepped forward to take Zhu Daolin's hand, and continued to walk towards the front lobby, and dozens of people behind him held high the royal honor guard and the Qincha flag and followed closely. Thousands of soldiers and civilians from the surrounding onlookers exclaimed.
After entering the lobby, Zhu Daolin summoned his generals to line up and waited for Zhao Huaizhong to come up with the holy decree.
The shopkeeper of the trading house and a group of men happily put on the incense table and lit the red candle, Zhu Daolin saw that Zhao Huaizhong, who was happy, just took a handkerchief and kept wiping his sweat, thought about it and stepped forward and asked, "Why hasn't my father-in-law announced the decree?" ”
Only then did Zhao Huaizhong react: "You have finished the battle, what else is our family proclaiming?" Haha, hahaha! I'm sorry, we're so happy to see you. I forgot to tell you about it for a while. ”
Zhu Daolin and the generals behind him couldn't cry or laugh, and simply led Zhao Huaizhong and his party to the camp. Not long after entering the gate of the camp, Zhao Huaizhong stopped again, pointed to the tens of thousands of Liaodong refugees crowded with the wide school field and the rows of tents stretched to the foot of the mountain, and asked Zhu Daolin what was going on?
After learning that the 80,000 people in front of him were all the people of the Ming Dynasty who were rescued by the Dongjiang Army from all over Liaodong, Zhao Huaizhong was excited: "Amazing! This merit is not under 5,000 Tartar heads. If the Holy One knew this good news, he would be so happy! ”
Zhu Daolin smiled and used lies to conceal the plan to move these 80,000 Liaodong people to Yingzhou Island: "Yesterday, we reached an agreement with the civil and military officials of the DPRK to reclaim the Tieshan City and the surrounding more than 100,000 mu of land that Marshal Mao Wenlong originally built, and to continue to reclaim wasteland in the area north of Tieshan and up to the bank of the Yalu River. These 80,000 Liaodong people will be sent over soon, and there will be no need to worry about it after half a year. ”
Zhao Huaizhong nodded frequently: "This thing is well done, North Korea is my Ming vassal country, and it is appropriate to donate some land, so that it can also reduce your burden, and it will be beneficial to the people of Liaodong and the Dongjiang New Army who have left their hometowns...... When you go back, our family will report to the Holy God truthfully and ask the Holy God to give you a great reward. ”
Zhu Daolin's mind changed: "I don't dare to think about heavy rewards, as long as those ministers of the DPRK and China and the garrisons in various places don't pick up knives and cut my Zhu Daolin's flesh, I will thank God." ”
Zhao Huaizhong was stunned: "Slow, slow!" Where does this begin? Does anyone dare to be disrespectful to you? ”
Zhu Daolin smiled, pulled Zhao Huaizhong and continued to walk towards the Jiangfu compound in the depths, and told Zhao Huaizhong about the Dengzhou sailors who brutally detained the fleet of the Four Seas Merchant Bank and robbed the ship of 100,000 stone grain and more than 500,000 taels of silver on the ship, and finally bit his cheek and said hatefully:
"These grandsons know that I, Zhu Daolin, am the major shareholder of the Sihai Commercial Bank, and that the grain and goods on the ship are all purchased from North Korea, and they are all long-term businesses that raise military funds for our Dongjiang New Army after reselling, and they still dare to do such a despicable deed unscrupulously, which is chilling!"
Zhao Huaizhong was also angry, although he, like Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen and other great eunuchs, always guarded against Zhu Daolin for the benefit of himself and Emperor Chongzhen.
However, Zhu Daolin has always been courteous to the emperor and all the eunuchs in the inner court, and has always had a rare respect and goodwill for the eunuchs, and the real money and various luxury goods sent to Zhao Huaizhong and the great eunuchs are extremely generous, coupled with the relationship between Wu Jingxian, the eunuch of Nanjing, the eunuchs have long regarded Zhu Daolin as their own person, and for their own interests and the thousands of miles of the Zhu dynasty, Zhao Huaizhong will never watch Zhu Daolin, the gold owner, being bullied.
Therefore, Zhao Huaizhong immediately said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, after you go back, our family will immediately make decisions for you with a few fathers-in-law, but we want to see which dog thing with no eyes is doing this." ”
Zhu Daolin laughed: "I'll do this by myself, I'll go to Dengzhou and Juehua Island in two days." ”
Zhao Huaizhong nodded in agreement, but after a while, he was startled: "You can't come nonsense!" What you did in Tongzhou Mashi back then and in Baoshanwei after that was too scary, and now that the enemy is now, you must not do anything wrong! It's better to leave it to the miscellaneous family to do it, and ensure that the evildoers will vomit twice as much within a month. ”
Zhu Daolin thought for a while and asked, "How much does Dengzhou still play a role in Liaodong and Xuanda now?" ”
Zhao Huaizhong sighed: "Since Kong Youde's rebellion, Dengzhou can no longer recover its previous role, the shipyard is destroyed, thousands of craftsmen are gone, coupled with the continuous drought in Shandong, it has been impossible to provide food for Ningjin and Xuanda for half a year, and now the grain needed by the armies in the north, including the capital, has to be solved by Cao Yun, which has doubled the price of grain in the capital, alas...... It's hard! The hair of the saint turned gray. ”
"If I can transport tens of thousands of stone of grain to the capital and the Liaodong army every month, can you make it easier for the emperor?" Zhu Daolin asked again.
Zhao Huaizhong immediately realized that Zhu Daolin was not joking: "Tell our family the truth, what do you need from us, the eunuchs of the inner court or the emperor, to give you?" ”
Zhu Daolin shook his head: "I don't need anything, just that after the grain arrives, the military department or the household department will pay me the silver according to the market price." ”
Zhao Huaizhong was pleasantly surprised: "That's it? ”
Zhu Daolin smiled again: "I want to clean up the people who robbed my fleet, and I hope that the emperor will pretend not to see or believe it." ”
Zhao Huaizhong laughed, and gave Zhu Daolin a punch in the chest: "I'll help you carry this matter, and after I go back, I'll say hello to Gonggong Cao, Gonggong Wang and Gonggong Liu, everyone must have nothing to say, but don't make things too big, haha......"
