When Wang Chengen mentioned to Du Yinxi that he was the deputy envoy of Zhengtong, Sun Chuanting was seeing Chen Yuanyuan off in Guizhou Prefecture, far southwest of the Ming Dynasty.
The imperial edict has arrived, and Chen Yuanyuan set off to return to the capital in compliance with the edict.
This is her first return to the capital since she left the capital in the 16th year of Chongzhen.
Even Chen Yuanyuan herself didn't know that she could play such a big role, making her the most popular in the all-male army.
This is true whether under Ma Shiying's subordinates or under Sun Chuanting's subordinates.
At this time, she was about to return to the capital, and Sun Chuanting, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the commander-in-chief of the world's military, led many of his generals to see her off. The standards were unprecedentedly high.
After hearing the news, the people nearby also came to see him off. People were standing around the official road, including on the mountain.
This grand occasion also made Sun Chuanting a little emotional. He, who had always been expressionless, said with a little emotion: "I really didn't expect that a female streamer could play such a big role and win the hearts and minds of the military and the people!"
His words made her feel a little uncomfortable, but Chen Yuanyuan also knew that Sun Chuanting was a bit unobtrusive when he spoke, saying whatever he wanted. For a female streamer, perhaps men in the past thought of women this way!
With this thought in her mind, she said humbly: "This is all due to the teachings of the imperial concubine, and I have a good command of it!"
Vaguely, the imperial concubine is also a female streamer, how about it?
Sun Chuanting did not hear it, nodded and said: "I have expressed my merits to the emperor in my previous memorial. Your talent is beyond doubt!"
Having said this, he looked at the people seeing him off on both sides of the official road, as well as those who could not stand on the official road and were standing on the mountain, and then continued: "Thanks to your propaganda, you see, the people's hearts are precious, let's
It has become a lot easier for me to solve the problem of chieftains. It seems now that at least the chieftains here in Guizhou have not had much influence. Those who are dissatisfied with the court often jump into Yunnan with the bandits. If the emperor asks, you
But please report to the Emperor, if the bandits and chieftains are not in a hurry to attack Kunming, I will continue to plan for it slowly; if the bandits and chieftains are in a hurry to attack Kunming, I will have to launch another offensive."
Chen Yuanyuan has been here all the time, so she naturally knows the current situation in Yunnan and Guizhou.
Speaking of which, it is true that most of the chieftains were unwilling to hand over their power to the imperial court. However, the imperial court used absolute military power as the premise to disintegrate the people under the chieftains' rule and emptied the chieftains one by one, making it difficult for them to resist.
Under such circumstances, the chieftains in Guizhou could not withstand the civil and military offensives of the imperial army. They all carried gold, silver, jewelry, grain and supplies, and ran to Yunnan with their henchmen.
As a result, coupled with the power of the bandits, the military strength of Yunnan's opposition to the imperial court was slowly increasing. And because the Guizhou chieftains were the mess left after the robbery, it increased the logistical burden on the imperial court, which not only had to supply the army
, but also to support the establishment of local yamen and implement governance, which somewhat slowed down the pace of the imperial officials and troops.
Fortunately, Huguang outside Guizhou is a land of plenty, and even the power of one province is more than enough to supply Guizhou. It's just that the chieftain's approach is somewhat slowing down the role of the imperial officers and soldiers.
In the original history, during the Shapu Rebellion that occurred in Yunnan, when Sha Dingzhou rebelled in Yunnan, most of the chieftains left Sha Dingzhou, killing Mu Tianbo and fleeing in embarrassment.
Although at that time, the imperial court was too weak to intimidate the chieftains, but in this dimension, the policy of changing the land and returning it to the locals also affected the roots of the chieftains. As a result, most of the chieftains wanted to fight to the death.
of.
It can be predicted that the final decisive battle with the chieftain will probably be in Yunnan, and there will be a big battle.
Sun Chuanting knew this very well, and Chen Yuanyuan knew it almost as well.
When Sun Chuanting said this, Chen Yuanyuan naturally had no objection. Of course, she didn't worry about the military aspect on weekdays. Sun Chuanting said this to her just so that she could tell the emperor when she arrived in the capital.
Therefore, after hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan just nodded, and then said: "With that, I will set off!"
To be honest, she was eager to return home.
It's been almost two years since I left the capital. I don't know how the imperial concubine is doing. Princess Kunxing also gets along better with her when she often comes to see her.
Of course, the most important thing is that since leaving the capital, she has never been in contact with that magical treasure, nor has she heard or seen the fresh music in the fairy world, which makes her miss it quite a bit.
At this time, Sun Chuanting heard this, clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Take care along the way!"
The many generals and lieutenants who had been silent all this time followed suit and clasped their fists together in salute: "Sir, take care of yourself along the way!"
Before the change, no one would have thought that a group of officials, civil servants and military generals would see off a woman in such a grand way!
But now, this kind of thing is happening!
If it was just because Chen Yuanyuan was the deputy envoy of Zhengtong, then there would never be such a big scene. In the final analysis, it was Chen Yuanyuan's own efforts that won their recognition!
From a certain perspective, the women recognized by the Imperial Concubine hold up half the sky, but Chen Yuanyuan has already taken a solid step.
Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan was about to set off, the people on both sides of the official road, as well as the people on the mountain, knelt down and shouted emotionally.
"Take care, sir!"
Gu Hao
"Have a pleasant trip, my lord!"
"Adults are rising step by step!"
"..."
Among these people, the women were the most excited, and many people shed tears. Such a good female official and female Bodhisattva, we are separated here, and it is estimated that we will never see each other again.
Each of them was very grateful to Chen Yuanyuan.
Since Chen Yuanyuan arrived, he has cared about how they are living, inspecting the various states under the imperial court, and helping them solve problems. Their lives are completely different from before.
Since Chen Yuanyuan came, many of them have had serious jobs, and their families' lives have become better, and their status has also improved.
In short, they had never seen such a good official in the past, so naturally they were reluctant to let Chen Yuanyuan go.
However, the imperial decree has come down, and Chen Yuanyuan cannot really stay here forever. Even if they are reluctant to leave, they can only come to see her off and wish this lady good luck!
When Chen Yuanyuan saw this scene, she couldn't help but be very moved. After working hard and receiving such a response, she felt in her heart that all the previous hard work was worth it.
This way of living can be considered a meaningful way of living! At least your own value has been recognized!
Chen Yuanyuan clasped her hands and returned gifts to the people in all directions. As the carriage moved forward, she sang loudly: "I will never forget this day, no matter when..."
When she was still in the palace, she was lucky enough to watch the Fairyland Gala, and she had a deep memory of that song. Now it was directly adapted by her, which could express her mood at this time.
………………
Compared with the relaxed situation in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, the situation in Dongjiang Town in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty suddenly became tense.
On the Pidao side, Kong Youde took a boat. As soon as it docked at the pier, the boat didn't even stop, so he jumped ashore and ran straight to the Yamen.
"Commander, something bad has happened!" Kong Youde reported quickly as soon as he saw Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town.
Wu Sangui was shocked when he heard this.
He and Kong Youde had been together for a relatively long time, and he knew Kong Youde well. Knowing that Kong Youde had been fighting for so many years, it was impossible for him to be so panicked under normal circumstances. But in his situation now, something big had definitely happened.
So, he quickly asked Kong Youde: "What's going on? Come quickly!"
Kong Youde gasped, tried to calm down, and then quickly reported: "A large number of Japanese troops were discovered in the south of Korea!"
Previously, because there were changes in the Jianlu army in North Korea, he followed Wu Sangui's military order and went to inquire about the news to see if there were any opportunities that could be exploited.
Unexpectedly, Kong Youde discovered that a large-scale Japanese army appeared in Korea.
It was true that the Japanese soldiers were so special that they could be recognized at a glance. Therefore, he was so frightened that he left his men to continue monitoring the situation, and then he hurried back to report them.
Wu Sangui had also never seen the Japanese army, but he had heard about the Japanese army's invasion of North Korea. He was shocked when he heard this, and quickly confirmed: "Is it really the Japanese army, not the captives?"
Obviously, he did not know about Zheng Zhilong and Li Ruolian's trip to Japan.
After the question was asked, Wu Sangui himself felt that the question was unnecessary.
Although Jianlu and Japanese pirates were both barbarians, their French style and clothing were very different.
Soon, Wu Sangui thought of something else, and asked with a hint of expectation: "Did the Japanese army fight against Jianlu?"
It would be a good thing if the Japanese army fought with Jianlu. At least the two tigers were fighting, and he could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
However, after Kong Youde heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "Although there was a little conflict between the Japanese army and the Jianlu, they seemed to be a group and there was no big fight."
When he said this, he himself added a little doubtfully: "After the Japanese army encountered Jianlu, the two sides were at war with each other for a while, but they did not fight. It seemed that they left some food and supplies for the Japanese army, and then Jianlu went all the way.
Withdraw to Liaodong, and the Japanese army will follow them, and there will be no more conflicts!"
Hearing this, Wu Sangui thought of Jianlu's abnormal behavior in North Korea since the middle of last year, and suddenly became horrified and said: "Could it be that Jianlu and the Japanese country reached some kind of alliance and then gave up North Korea to the Japanese country?"
After saying these words, he was convinced of this. Because last year, he heard such rumors and reported it to the court.
So, he quickly shouted to his personal guards: "Please invite the Navy Chief to come over and discuss matters!"
