"Futai, the people who issued the imperial edict have arrived."

The one who ran in to deliver the letter was a servant who worked as a servant in the governor's office.

There was a person sitting in the room, and it was the governor of Denglai, Sun Guozhen.

"The imperial edict has finally arrived." Sun Guozhen said in a low tone, and the man stood up from his seat and explained, "Dispose the incense and welcome the imperial edict with me."

The arrival of the imperial edict was as expected by him.

There was such a big incident in Lushun, and the court could not have reacted at all. Dengzhou, as the fulcrum of Lushun, must be carried out by the court.

Sun Guozhen tidied up the official uniform and straightened the black hat on his head.

After sorting out his official uniforms and appearance, he took the servant who reported the news to the main hall of the governor's yamen.

The angel who delivered the order had been waiting in the main hall.

Sun Guozhen, who came to the main hall, glanced at the angel who was delivering the order, walked a few steps and came closer.

"The right deputy commander, the governor, came to the governor, and Sun Guozhen received the order." The angel saw Sun Guozhen coming and raised the imperial edict in his hand.

"My deputies Sun Guozhen obeyed the order." Sun Guozhen lifted his robe and knelt down.

Inside and outside the main hall, all the people who came to the governor's yamen knelt down and listened to the order.

The angel opened the imperial edict and recited the imperial edict loudly.

After Sun Guozhen said the word "received the decree", the angel put the decree into Sun Guozhen's hands.

At this time, Sun Guozhen and his group stood up from the ground.

The staff took out a ingot of ten taels of silver and handed it to the angel's hand along the cuff.

The angel who received the money said, "Your Majesty is very worried about Lushun's affairs. Sun Futai will send troops to Lushun earlier to punish the bandits in Lushun."

"Please tell the emperor that the affairs of Lushun are the affairs of Dengzhou. When the troops in Dengzhou are ready, the humble minister immediately ordered the navy to send troops to Lushun." Sun Guozhen said in a humble voice in front of the angel.

The angel glanced at him and chuckled, "Our family is just a person who sent the order. When he was brought, the rest depends on Sun Futai. Our family does not understand military affairs, but he dare not speak randomly."

After saying that, he looked at Sun Guozhen with a smile.

"It's hard for the angel to come from the capital, why not go back to your room to rest for now?" Sun Guozhen asked carefully.

Even if the father-in-law in front of him is not of high rank, he is the imperial envoy who comes with the imperial edict. He is a senior official on the ground, even if he is a governor, he has to serve him carefully.

The angel nodded and said, "Then I'll bother Sun Futai."

"Come, bring the angel back to your room to rest." Sun Guozhen called out a servant, bringing the angels who were sent by Dengzhou and a group of people who came to the room.

As the governor of Denglai, Sun Guozhen is surrounded by people and servants to serve him.

Soon, the angel who sent the order was taken away from the main hall.

"Dongweng is as expected as a god. The emperor really ordered Dengzhou to send troops to Lushun to encircle and suppress the bandits." The staff member on the side said.

Even though the tiger-like flag has already captured the land of the three provinces, it is still the identity of a bandit in the eyes of those who are interested in the Ming Dynasty.

There is only one way to get rid of this identity, which is to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and replace it, otherwise it will always be a thief in the mouths of others.

Upon hearing this, Sun Guozhen smiled bitterly and said, "It's useless to predict things like gods. It's most important to be able to solve the dangers of Lushun."

"Whether to find General Yang? If Dengzhou wants to send troops, the support from General Yang is indispensable." The staff advised.

The General Yang mentioned in his words was General Yang Guodong, a native of Yizhou Guard.

The general of Denglai was restrained by Denglai's navy.

In the second year of Tianqi, when he heard the Xiang Sect's rebellion, he followed Shandong Governor Zhao Yan and Shandong General Yang Zhaoji to participate in the suppression of the bandits. He repeatedly made contributions to defeating the bandits and was promoted to generals.

Later he was appointed as the General of Denglai, the de facto General of Shandong.

He is also a veteran with rich experience in combat formations, especially in suppressing thieves, who have more experience than many generals.

Sun Guozhen nodded and said, "Go and invite Yang Zongbing!"

The general is at the lowest level and has a high position in the second rank, and is at the same level as the local governor.

The Ming Dynasty's tradition of using civil and military control made the general officers of the country have a high rank, but they always lowered their heads against the governor. Even the local prefects and magistrates dared not give the general government face.

Sun Guozhen sent one of his close men to the General Town Government to invite Yang Guodong.

"What should I do with the angel? If I don't treat this angel well, I'm afraid he will say bad things about you in front of the emperor when he returns to Beijing." The aide expressed his worries.

Sun Guozhen looked at him and said, "I left these people in the governor's office to let you contact this angel. I have prepared all the things and will be carried up later and you will go there."

After being an official for so many years, he still understands some unspoken rules.

Although he did not like these eunuchs, he did not want to offend such people because of some trivial matters.

When Mao Wenlong was taken from Dengzhou to the capital, it was because no one was watching him in the court that he ended up being imprisoned by the Ministry of Justice. If Wei Zhongxian was still in his position, no one would have captured Mao Wenlong even if he lost Pidao.

Such an example happened before his eyes, and he would naturally not make the same mistake again, as the governor of the land.

"Dongweng is still thinking safely and has prepared everything." The aide secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that his Dongweng would have a bad habit of being a civil servant, and because he was disliked by the eunuchs, he was unwilling to go and handle things.

The emperor’s close minister may not be able to help you do anything, but it’s easier to ruin your business.

After hearing this, Sun Guozhen sighed and said, "I know what you are worried about. To be honest, if I hadn't been reluctant to let this black hat on my head, I really want to retire to the mountains and forests and stop inquiries about the affairs of the court."

"Dongweng, you are!" The staff member looked shocked.

Unexpectedly, Dongweng actually had the idea of ​​returning home.

Although the governor of Denglai was only a fourth rank, his position was not ordinary. Although there were only two prefectures of Dengzhou and Laizhou, he controlled the general of Dengzhou Town and the general of Dongjiang Town, and was in charge of Shandong's maritime defense.

The power in military affairs is far superior to that of the governor of Shandong.

Once the governor of Deng came, he would either take over as the Constitution of the Censorate or have the position of six ministers waiting for him.

As an aide, it will naturally rise and the situation will rise. In the future, it may be possible to be an official in the local area.

Sun Guozhen looked at the staff member who had been following him since he came to Shandong. He said, "Tiger thieves are not that easy to deal with. Mao Wenlong is driven down from Pi Island by him. Do you think Lushun can defend it? Besides, there is a slave thief who is eyeing him."

"Dongweng is worried that slave thieves will enjoy the benefits of fishermen?" asked the aide.

Sun Guozhen shook his head slightly and said, "I'm worried. Even I think the court's abandonment of Lushun is better than having to send troops to Lushun."

"Dongweng is careful!" The aide was startled by Sun Guozhen's words, then looked around and whispered, "Dongweng is careful that there are ears across the wall."

The angel from the capital was in the yamen. If he was taken back to the capital just now, the least he would be in prison. In severe cases, he would even be a thief.
