Chapter 352 Zuo Yingxuan’s memorial (third update)

After seeing this, Renzu frowned at first, and then his face became a little ugly. This made Wu Daji and others want to know the content even more.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what your Majesty has to say?" Wu Daji finally couldn't help but ask.

Renzu put down the letter, looked at him and replied: "It is said that Jianlu has increased its troops again. I'm afraid there will be a big move."

When Wu Daji and others heard this, their expressions changed. However, before they responded, Chen Jisheng urged a little impatiently: "Master Zhongcheng has asked you to provide ships, what do you think?"

North Korea did have a navy, but by this time, the country's affairs were corrupt, and the navy had long since died. After hearing this, Renzu hesitated and asked, "I wonder what the superior country's warships are for?"

When Chen Jisheng heard this, he didn't know what Mr. Zhongcheng wanted the boat for. He frowned and was thinking about how to answer. Wu Daji looked happy and interjected: "But it's used to transport more." Did the Ming army sneak attack Jianlu?"

When Chen Jisheng heard this, he nodded quickly, but his answer was: "Probably, I don't know the specific details."

When Renzu heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly ordered to his ministers: "That's it, it's okay! Your Majesty, please take care of it and try to send as many warships as possible."

Chen Jisheng was delighted when he heard this. He didn't expect that what Mr. Zhongcheng had told him could be completed so easily. However, he remembered Lu Xiangsheng's explanation, and reminded him: "Jianlu's increase in troops this time is obviously aimed at North Korea. I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, have issued an order to send troops to contain them. Your country must be careful."

Renzu didn't speak, but Wu Daji said with a smile: "When Xiaguan was in the capital, His Majesty the Emperor of Shangguo had explained that the war with Jianlu was ups and downs, and now it is a time of hardship. Xiaguan believed him When His Majesty the Emperor of Japan personally conquers Liaodong, he will certainly be able to recover Liaodong. At that time, our small country of Korea will certainly respond."

Renzu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and his originally pale face regained a lot of vitality. He also complimented the Ming Dynasty, and asked people to entertain Chen Jisheng. They set off together after the warships were mobilized.

As soon as Chen Jisheng left, Wu Daji and three others suggested to Injo that they should reorganize their war preparations and be ready to build captives to attack the capital. As long as they hold on, with Ming Dynasty on the side to contain them, Jianlu will be able to return without success.

While they were discussing, someone came to report that the North Korean envoy sent to Jianlu had sent someone back with important matters.

"Your Majesty, Jianlu has lowered their conditions again. He also said that as long as North Korea does not have any contact with the Ming Dynasty, they are willing to withdraw their troops and will not come to rob food again..."

Renzu didn't expect that the good news would come one after another. He laughed out loud and immediately ordered: "Come on, come on, come on, let's have a banquet to entertain you. I will entertain Vice General Chen!"

"Yes, yes, it must be that the Jianlu were afraid of the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to offend me, North Korea!" Wu Daji and others were also happy and kept echoing.

There are only so many Jianlu, how many thousands of troops can be destroyed? Although the troops are sent to North Korea, it must be to force North Korea not to fall to the Ming Dynasty. As long as you agree to them, you will definitely withdraw your troops.

As a result, the sound of singing and dancing came from the unfinished palace. But they didn't know that the person sent back by the envoy secretly contacted some people after he left.

At this time, far away in Jinzhou of the Ming Dynasty, an army of tens of thousands of people was marching into Ningyuan City. On the top of the city, General He Kegang, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, led the generals to salute a civil servant in front of him: "I am stationed in Ningyuan under the order of the elder Ge, which has caused trouble for Mr. Zuo!"

This civil servant was originally the magistrate of Changli County. Due to his contribution in the Battle of Changli, he became the Ningqian Army Preparation Officer. He was responsible for managing the troops, money, grain, and farmland of Ningqian Guard Station, inspecting the defense of rivers and lakes, supervising officers and soldiers, and inquiring about punishments. , prohibiting reform, fraud, etc. He was originally in charge of military affairs and a civil servant, so even if He Kegang was the commander-in-chief, he still had to lower his profile.

Zuo Yingxuan, however, had no airs and quickly said with a smile: "I have received the order from Mr. Sun Ge and have prepared as much food and supplies as possible."

Having said this, he turned slightly to one side and said to a general standing next to him: "Li Shoubei, please take Marshal He to settle down!"

Li Shoubei was Li Shiqi, the leader of the Changli people. He also made meritorious service in defending Changli and was promoted from a commoner to Ningyuan garrison. After hearing Zuo Yingxuan's words, he immediately clasped his fists, then stretched out his hand to signal: "Commander, please come this way!"

He Kegang knew the origins of these two people and knew that both of them were registered with the emperor, so he did not dare to neglect them and hurriedly left with a smile.

When Zuo Yingxuan saw them walking away, he turned back and looked at the army snaking outside the city, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

After he came to Ningyuan from Changli and took office, he found that the situation here was very complicated. Fortunately, Li Shiqi was on guard to help him, otherwise he would have done nothing and been ignored by the generals below.

There is land here, but most of it is abandoned. It’s not that people are lazy and don’t plant seeds, it’s that Jianlu doesn’t know when he will appear, and if he does, he will be white. There are people growing crops in the fields near the city, but they all belong to the generals of various families in the city, and many of them belong to the Wu family.

Zuo Yingxuan was promoted over the next level, and he deeply felt the emperor's regard. Despite all the difficulties, he tried his best to fulfill his duties. However, after all, he had only been in Ningyuan for a few months. Not to mention having contact with the military, he even had limited preparations for money and food. Now that the war is going on, there is not much food and grass, which is really a bit worrying.

But one thing that made him more relaxed was that He Kegang's army would have a hard time before rushing to Jinzhou. The men and horses of the two generals gathered on the front line, not really to attack Jianlu, but just in such a posture that they would not consume too much food and grass.

If Jinzhou can hold on and prevent the Jianlu from crossing the Daling River, then a large number of fertile fields from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan can be planted, that would be great!

Zuo Yingxuan thought in his mind and secretly decided that although there is no hope yet, it is still necessary to register those abandoned farmlands for the future!

He stood on the top of the city. After thinking for a long time, he decided to write a memorial to the emperor for this purpose. He had to take precautions!

Zuo Yingxuan did not have such channels as Liu Wang, but the memorial was delivered to the emperor within a few days by express delivery.

Emperor Chongzhen was very interested when he saw that it was Zuo Yingxuan's memorial, and he immediately opened it and started reading.

After he read it, he read it again, then put down the memorial and thought deeply about it. After a long time, his expression changed, as if he had thought of a good idea.

"Pass an order to order Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, to appear in court!" Emperor Chongzhen decided to have a good chat with Wen Tiren about this matter and come up with a charter first.

The next chapter will probably be around four or five o'clock.
