The Ming Dynasty's order to dispatch troops was sent to Shanhaiguan.

The governor of Ji Liao, Gao Di, was naturally the most in compliance with the orders of the court, but his words may not be effective at the Liaodong generals.

The imperial decree was delivered, and the orders of the Ji Liao Governor's Office were also passed on. However, no soldiers or soldiers from the Liaodong generals were sent to the capital, but instead asked for money and food.

Without money and food, no soldiers or soldiers were transferred.

Yuan Chonghuan's lessons made the Liaodong generals more alienated the Ming Dynasty's court, and the Ming Dynasty's weakness also made the Liaodong generals somewhat domineering.

Gao Di is not like Yuan Chonghuan. He does not have the kind of friendship between Yuan Chonghuan and Liaodong generals in Jiliao, nor does he have the trust of Liaodong generals.

If he wanted to mobilize the soldiers and generals from Liaodong, he could only follow the people of the Liaodong generals, otherwise he would not be able to mobilize any soldiers or soldiers.

The Ming Dynasty court in the capital did not know this situation.

Seeing that the troops from Liaodong had never entered the pass to guard the capital, they sent them to Gaodi, urging Gaodi to send troops to the capital soon.

In desperation, Gao Di had to send someone to the capital in Liaodong.

"Students meet the chief assistant."

Outside Zhou Yanru's mansion, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, saw Zhou Yanru's sedan chair being riding again and hurriedly greeted him and gave him a deep gift.

The servant outside the mansion hurried forward and drove away the middle-aged man who was blocking the sedan chair, and blocked the middle-aged man with his body, not giving him a chance to get close to the sedan chair.

The person in the sedan chair did not speak, so the sedan chair owner would not stop the sedan chair and carried it directly into the mansion through the main entrance.

The sedan chair entered the yard, and the sedan chairman stopped and pressed the sedan chair.

The butler who had been waiting beside him stepped forward and helped Zhou Yanru out of the sedan chair.

"What's going on outside?" Zhou Yanru asked the butler.

The housekeeper replied respectfully: "The person sent by the Ji Liao commander sent a letter of worship and gift list. The young man told him that you have not yet made a court ceremony, but he will not leave. He will stay in front of our mansion and wait for you to come back from the court."

"This is not good." Zhou Yanru's face darkened and he said unhappily, "I am the chief minister. If there is any matter in the local governor, you can go directly to the court. What does it look like when you come to the government?"

The butler who heard this quickly said, "Young man is asking to send someone to drive him away."

"Go!" Zhou Yanru nodded.

The housekeeper turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, Zhou Yanru suddenly said, "Did you read the gift list sent by the other party?"

"I saw it. If it weren't for the gift list, the young one wouldn't have left him outside the mansion." The butler who turned around replied respectfully.

Zhou Yanru thought for a while and said, "Since Gao Di sent someone to see me, there must be something important. If you don't see me, it will be troublesome. If you don't delay any important things, you will send someone to the study room. I will come over to see him later."

"Yes." The butler responded, then turned around and left.

Zhou Yanru returned to the room, changed into regular clothes, washed up briefly, ate a few snacks and drank a cup of tea, and then walked to the study where guests could meet.

"Students have met the chief assistant." The middle-aged man who came to the study first saw Zhou Yanru and hurriedly stood up from his seat and saluted respectfully.

Zhou Yanru walked to the owner's seat and sat down, and asked, "Did you come from Shanhaiguan?"

"Students are the staff members around the supervisor." The middle-aged man replied respectfully.

Zhou Yanru looked at it a few times and said, "Since he is a staff member around Gao Di, then if you don't stay in Shanhaiguan and assist Gao Di well, why did you come to the capital?"

"I dare not deceive the chief minister. The student came here this time, hoping that the chief minister can save the student's boss." The middle-aged man bowed to Zhou Yanru again.

Zhou Yanru, who heard this, said: "Oh? Gao Di has always been very safe in Liaodong. I have never heard of any big mistakes he made in the capital. Will your aide be an alarmist?"

"The court has sent several orders to Shanhaiguan to urge troops. My boss really has no choice but to send students to the chief assistant to ask for a clear path." The middle-aged man begged.

Bang!

Zhou Yanru's face sank, raised his hand and slapped the table next to him, and asked, "Since Gao Di received the will, why did he act in a respectful manner? But he refused to act in a respectful manner. He went back and told him that if the official wanted to save him, there was only one way to go, that is, act in accordance with the will, otherwise no one could save him."

A group of troops were drawn from Liaodong to guard the capital not only to ensure the safety of the capital, but also to continue the political life of the chief minister.

Gao Di never sent troops to the capital, not only was he disrespectful to the order, but he was also fighting against him as the chief assistant.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. It's not my boss who is in a ruthless face. "The middle-aged man explained hurriedly, "Although my boss is the governor of Ji Liao, he may have commanded only thousands of soldiers and horses from Shanhaiguan. The soldiers and horses in Ningjin never obeyed the orders of my boss. Since the imperial edict was sent to the court, my boss urged them to send troops to the capital several times, but the other party always made various excuses to shirk. My boss really had no choice."

Zhou Yanru frowned and said, "As the Ji Liao commander, Gao Di, can't even mobilize the troops of Liaodong?"

Even though he was the prime minister, it was the first time he heard about Gao Di’s embarrassing situation in Liaodong. Some people don’t know if they should believe it.

"Students dare not hide it, it is true." said the middle-aged man. "Master Sun may be able to call on the arrogant soldiers and soldiers from Liaodong, but my boss has always been very embarrassed when he has fought to Liaodong."

Zhou Yanru said: "Gaodi is the commander of Ji Liao. Even those people in Liaodong are domineering, they dare not even disobey the imperial edict!"

It was the tradition of the Ming Dynasty to control martial arts for so many years. His thoughts had not changed for a while. He never thought that the Liaodong generals had begun to take important civil officials like Gao Di seriously.

"The generals in Liaodong naturally dare not expressly resist the order. One person who needs money and food is missing. You know, the chief minister needs a lot of money and food when the army moves, and my boss can't afford so much money and food to them at all." The middle-aged man kept complaining.

Zhou Yanru said nothing for a while.

Only then did he realize that the situation in the Ming Dynasty was even more terrifying than he thought.

The most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were all in Liaodong, and the Ming Dynasty spent too much money and food in Liaodong over the years. However, it was difficult for the strong soldiers raised by the Ming Dynasty to mobilize them by himself.

Zhou Yanru, who came to his senses, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Gaodi asked you to come. Do you want me to delay time for you or to exempt the court from the will to draw troops from Liaodong?"

"It is naturally best not to draw troops from Liaodong." said the middle-aged man.

Zhou Yanru shook his head and said, "Since the decree has been delivered to Liaodong, the court will not slap itself in the face. Don't think about taking back the decree."
