"Chen Jisheng, the chief soldier of Phi Island, led the soldiers of Dongjiang Town to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"Chen Jisheng, who succeeded Mao Wenlong in charge of Dongjiang Town, led Mao Chenglu and other generals to kneel to welcome Li You's arrival.

Chen Jisheng is the veteran of Mao Wenlong who founded Dongjiang Town, when Mao Wenlong was only the training capital of the Guangning Army, Chen Jisheng followed him to escape from Zhenjiang, and then opened the town of Phi Island. Among the generals on Phi Island, Chen Jisheng's prestige is second only to Mao Wenlong, so Li You will let him replace Mao Wenlong to lead Dongjiang Town.

After Yuan Chonghuan executed Mao Wenlong, he divided Dongjiang Town into four associations, and ordered Chen Jisheng, Liu Xingzuo, Mao Chenglu and others to be in charge, and then merged into two associations, Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzuo were divided, Chen Jisheng was devoted to Wenlong, and Liu Xingzuo won Yuan Chonghuan's trust, and this discerning person knew at a glance that it was a move to split Dongjiang Town; Fortunately, Li You sent an envoy from the imperial court early to transfer Liu Xingzuo away, so as to avoid civil strife in Dongjiang Town.

"You guys are guarding Phi Dao and containing the flanks of Jiannu, and you have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty." Li You turned over and got off the Zhulong horse and helped Chen Jisheng up with his own hands, which can be regarded as setting the tone for this trip and affirming the merits of Dongjiang Town and Mao Wenlong.

Chen Jisheng and others all cried bitterly when they heard this, their years of hard work and bloody struggle were finally affirmed by the emperor himself, and then remembered Mao Wenlong, who died not long ago, and his emotions were uncontrollable for a while, thinking of Mao Wenlong's many hard work in the past, Chen Jisheng blurted out, "Your Majesty, Mao Shuai died unjustly." ”

"Your Majesty, Mao Shuai died unjustly." Triggered by Chen Jisheng, the remaining generals of Dongjiang Town, such as Mao Chenglu and who were deeply favored by Mao Wenlong, also opened their mouths to avenge their grievances, and their cries spread throughout the entire Phi Island for a while.

"Your Majesty came to Phi Island in person, but you are acting like this, what is the reason?" Seeing that the atmosphere was in danger of getting out of control, Cao Wenzhao, who was following Li You, hurriedly scolded.

"The ministers are rude, please forgive your majesty." Cao Wenzhao's words woke Chen Jisheng and others from their grief, and then thought of the words of His Majesty the Emperor Fang Cai after dismounting and his attitude towards himself, Chen Jisheng faintly guessed that he would definitely rehabilitate Mao Wenlong next time, and if he continued to urge, he was afraid that it would be counterproductive, so he quickly wiped away his tears and respectfully saluted and pleaded guilty.

"Mao Shuai has contributed to the country for many years, and it is reasonable for you to be sentimental, there is no need for this." Seeing this scene, Li You's mood was quite complicated, firstly, he was also quite sympathetic to the experience of Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang Town, and secondly, he was extremely dissatisfied with the system of soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that these people's gratitude to Mao Wenlong is more than loyalty to the imperial court, right? Such a situation is something that no emperor wants to see, and it is not without this reason that Shang Kexi and others, who were born in Dongjiang Town, surrendered to Jiannu one after another.

In comparison, although Yue Fei and Mao Wenlong were also unjustly killed, Li You had never heard of the Yue family's army having such a reaction from Dongjiang Town afterwards, nor had he heard that the general of the Yue family's army had voted for the Jin State; Even if it is put in Daming, if Qi Jiguang encounters such a situation, I am afraid that Qi Jiajun's choice will be completely different from Dongjiang Town, right?

What's more, Mao Wenlong is not as white and flawless as they say, although the food and salary he asks for from the imperial court every year is far inferior to that of Guan Ningjun, but the amount is not small, and Mao Wenlong has never made a clear report on where the silver goes; In addition, in order to feed Dongjiang Town, he also had many forbidden things in the process of trade; That's why Yuan Chonghuan was able to come up with so many charges to kill him, some of these charges are unwarranted, but there are also real evidence.

However, Li You has no intention of criticizing these, compared with other leaders of the army in this era, Mao Wenlong is already good, and he is now dead, so Li You does not plan to dwell on this issue anymore, it is better to surrender Dongjiang Town first; So after inspecting Dongjiang Town, Li You summoned the generals of Dongjiang Town and escorted Yuan Chonghuan out.

"Mao Shuai is my Ming Dynasty's Zuodu Governor, Pingliao General Commander, the imperial court's first-class military general, and the sword of Shang Fang, even if he is indeed guilty, it is not something that Yuan Chonghuan can deal with well, not to mention that Yuan Chonghuan's execution of Mao Shuai is quite unwarranted." As soon as Yuan Chonghuan was escorted out, Chen Jisheng, Mao Chenglu and others were about to erupt fire in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to directly pull out a knife and chop it into pulp, but because of Li You's might, no one dared to move lightly, and they all stood there and listened to Li You's words tightly, "Yuan Chonghuan's move violated the law of the imperial court, and he should be beheaded according to the law. ”

"Thank you for your grace." Seeing that the enemy who killed Mao Wenlong was finally about to get the retribution he deserved, Chen Jisheng and the others were all grateful, and they knelt down to thank them.

Before the execution, Mao Wenlong's adopted son Mao Chenglu came out to ask Li You to ask him to serve as the executioner, but Li You sternly refused, "The execution of Yuan Chonghuan was because he violated the laws of the imperial court, but not to avenge Mao Wenlong's personal revenge. ”

The beheading of Yuan Chonghuan was to appease the hearts of the people in Dongjiang Town, and the second was to promote the seriousness of the imperial court law.

Although Mao Chenglu and others felt pity, no one dared to distinguish it from Li You, and then Yuan Chonghuan was beheaded; Then Li You announced another decision, the imperial court will transport Mao Wenlong's remains back to his hometown of Hangzhou for burial, and bury them by the world-famous West Lake, next to Yue Fei, Yu Qian and other heroes of the previous generation, and find a feng shui treasure on this island to build a temple for worship.

In the holy decree announcing this matter, Li You praised his merits, and did not shy away from Mao Wenlong's previous mistakes, which made Chen Jisheng and others feel quite complicated.

After finishing these, it was finally the turn to decide the future of Dongjiang Town, Li You came up with his own plan, now Jiannu has been hit hard, and there is no spare strength to go south again, so the role of Dongjiang Town's flank containment is greatly reduced, and Phi Island does not need so many soldiers and horses to garrison, so if they want to continue to fight Jiannu, they must move to the area of Ningyuan and be retrained under Lu Xiangsheng, and the imperial court that does not want to continue to be a soldier will also divide land in Ningyuan for them to live.

Chen Jisheng and the others were a little unwilling, but they really had no reason and courage to refuse, so they had to agree, pack up the family business on Phi Dao, and take the people of Dongjiang Town to Ningyuan.
