350 Arrive in Seoul

So, the next morning, when Lu Xiangsheng left, he took away more than a dozen selected Haixi Jurchens.

Logically speaking, it is normal for the Governor Denglai to not station Pi Island. Therefore, the military and civilians on the road did not feel strange about the Zhongcheng taking the Biaoying out of Pi Island. They were doing what they were going to do, and they would not be nervous about strengthening their defense on the island. After all, such things are common for them. The most important thing is that they do not believe that Jianlu can really attack the island.

Seeing Pi Island getting farther and farther away, Wei Mulan chatted with Emperor Chongzhen in a chat group and reported everything Lu Xiangsheng ordered. She was a little worried, was the Jurchens really reliable?

Emperor Chongzhen believed in Lu Xiangsheng's judgment on this matter. To give an incorrect example, just like there are traitors among the Han people, there are still traitors among the Jurchens. However, the difference between traitors is that traitors can betray their compatriots for their own interests; and these Jurchens went to war with their fellow tribes for revenge. This kind of thing is also common for the Ming Dynasty. For example, Man Gui, he was a Mongolian, but he has been serving the Ming Dynasty and still fought against the Mongolians. Even in later generations, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, there were still Japanese fighting against Japanese devils.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen told Wei Mulan not to worry, but he was a little worried about Wei Mulan: "Lu Xiangsheng is preparing to attack the hinterland of Liaodong. You, a girl, have never experienced it before, can withstand such difficult things? Moreover, this matter is very dangerous! If it doesn't work, you should not go!"

Thinking about it, Wei Mulan was just the top player in Yihongyuan before, and she was only in her teens. She usually had nothing to accompany Lu Xiangsheng. But the upcoming surprise attack was not something that ordinary people could withstand. Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried, which was a natural thing!

When Wei Mulan heard this, she couldn't help but feel warm. She didn't expect that the emperor would consider her like this, so she quickly replied: "Don't worry, your Majesty, I can do it!"

After answering, she thought for a while and immediately added: "Lu Zhongcheng went to the hinterland of Liaodong, and he could not be without subordinates."

Emperor Chongzhen was relieved when he saw her answer. If Wei Mulan could do it, it would be great. The news could be delivered to Lu Xiangsheng at any time, which would be of great benefit to the mobility of his team.

He was thinking this way, and suddenly another private chat came from Lu Ruipeng from Shaanxi: "Your Majesty, Hong Zhongcheng led his troops to Baodezhou, Shanxi. The bandits were prepared and fled when they heard the news. Now Hong Zhongcheng has recovered Baodezhou City, but... But Baodezhou City has become a ghost city and there are no one."

It seems that Wang Jiayin is still cautious and sent some detectives to be alert. This is not good for these thieves. Whenever there is any disturbance, they will run away immediately. The worst thing is that these thieves will ruin the local area every time they arrive.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and ordered Lu Ruipeng: "Let Hong Chengchou lead the army to pursue it, and don't give the bandits time to attack the city. In addition, I will also let Governor Xuanda send troops to participate in the interception."

After saying that, he immediately contacted Zhang Fengyi and said, "You and Ma Xianglin led their troops to the Governor General of Xuanda, and asked him to send troops nearby to intercept and suppress the bandits who rushed into Shanxi!"

"I will obey the order!" Zhang Fengyi responded immediately, and then went to find the assistant minister Xue Guoguan. After Xue Guoguan issued the certificate, he and Ma Xianglin started.

Originally, after the Bai Gan Army confiscated the Shanxi merchants, they were preparing to return to Sichuan. However, the bandits rose again, and most of the border troops in Jin were dispersed, so they had to continue to take charge of Xuanfu, so Qin Liangyu was the only one who returned to Sichuan first.

Emperor Chongzhen withdrew from the chat group and issued an order to the cabinet to send them a reissue of imperial edicts to all places. Although the chat group is fast, it is empty and the imperial edicts must be issued again. For example, the matter of issuing orders through the chat group, especially the matter of mobilizing the army, it should be done less and the imperial edicts should be issued as soon as possible. Otherwise, if someone has ulterior motives and pretends to spread the message in the future, there will be trouble.

After doing these things, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Gao Shiyue, who was on the rotation, to call the dozen eunuch palace maids he selected. Seeing that they were all focused on listening, he said, "I have obtained those manuscripts, have you read them all?"

He pointed out that there were more than ten chapters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". After these chapters were written, people with some literary talent among the eunuchs and palace maids read them first. After receiving a positive answer, he said: "Then I will dictate the subsequent chapters, you can write them down, and then organize them into a book and send them to Liu Mao, the director of the Ministry of War!"

If you use a brush to write a shorthand, it would be fine if you just write a sentence or two, but if you keep talking, the speed of the shorthand can't keep up. However, now there are many people, and they will divide the work, so there is no need to deliberately slow down the speed of the speech. Using this method to write can be much easier for Emperor Chongzhen.

Besides, Dongjiang Vice General Chen Jisheng took a boat to travel day and night, and finally arrived before Jianlu arrived in Seoul.

At this time, Seoul can still see traces left by the Japanese pirates invasion everywhere. During the war, Seoul was repeatedly ruined by the Koreans and Japanese pirates. Not to mention the palace, it was basically burned everywhere. During the period of Gwanghae-jun, only the ancestral temples and main palaces were restored. During the period of Inzu, all the restoration had not been completed.

When he heard that the Ming Dynasty deputy general Chen Jisheng came to the military order of Governor Denglai, Renzu did not dare to neglect, so he quickly led all civil and military officials to welcome them out of the city. The people of Seoul also came out to watch it, which became a grand event for a while.

If it were before, there might not be such a grand occasion. However, when the Jianlu was raging in northern Korea, Governor Denglai personally led the army and ambushed twice in a row, almost annihilated the two thousand grain-protecting troops of Jianlu, forcing the Jianlu to stop the plunder and stayed in the north without any movement. The news finally came back to Seoul, which greatly encouraged the Korean monarch and ministers and the people, and claimed to be fast.

Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of Korea admired the current Governor of Denglai, and even felt a little afraid. You should know that the Governor of Denglai of the Ming Dynasty had always had the responsibility to govern the vassal states of North Korea. Now this Governor of Denglai still has such ability. Seeing that the matter of North Korea is even more reliant on him, he naturally dared not neglect it. Even if he had nominally broken away from the vassal states with the Ming Dynasty and became a brotherly country with Jianlu, he would still welcome it grandly.

When the two sides arrived in the hall to discuss the matter, Chen Jisheng took out Lu Xiangsheng's letter and forwarded it to Renzu.

Renzu did not dare to neglect, and even took the letter after purging his hands and started to look closely. The three scholars in power, including Wu Daji, who were accompanying him, were staring at Renzu, guessing in his heart the meaning of Governor Denglai.
