Chapter 272 Mao Wenlong’s rehabilitation (fourth update)

However, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was not something he could see if he wanted to. Even if he reveals his identity as a North Korean envoy, it will be the same. He must report to Honglu Temple and wait for the emperor's summons.

In fact, when he first met Lu Xiangsheng in Denglai, Emperor Chongzhen got the relevant news from Ruhua's message. Wu Daji and the others came to the capital because of his order.

Emperor Chongzhen learned about the situation on the Korean Peninsula and did not want to react immediately. Let Ming go fight for North Korea. This kind of loss-making business is not easy to do!

Of course, on the bright side, Daming naturally has reasons. For example, such a large military operation requires the permission of the emperor of the capital. By the time you get to the capital, it will be delayed for a while.

Also, Governor Denglai has just taken office, so he needs to get familiar with the situation in Denglai. This will also take time. When North Korea was about to be unable to hold on and had exhausted some of the energy of the army building captives, Lu Xiangsheng chose the weakest country to attack. He did not ask for much victory, but wanted to show the existence of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, if he had the opportunity, Emperor Chongzhen would have no objection if he could beat Jianlu ruthlessly.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, led the leaders of Dongjiang Town to read out the imperial edict in front of Mao Wenlong's grave to vindicate Mao Wenlong.

At this moment, the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town were all moved to tears.

For them, no matter what Mao Wenlong was like, they only remember one thing. If Mao Wenlong had not created the Dongjiang River and allowed them, the Han people of Liaodong, a place to stay, then they would probably have been just a bowl of loess on the land of Liaodong.

At that time, Jianlu's butcher's knife was not merciful to the Han people in Liaodong. Regardless of men, women, old or weak, as long as Jianlu was happy or unhappy, he could kill them if he wanted to. They were worse than pigs and dogs. But the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were defeated again and again, and they all retreated to the front line of Ningjin.

For the Han people, the land of Liaodong was already a place abandoned by the imperial court. Despair is the feeling of every Han Chinese in Liaodong. There is no way to avenge the hatred of parents, wives and children, and even oneself lives like a pig or a dog, and one does not know what will happen tomorrow.

Under such circumstances, Marshal Mao led a group of ragged men down, took them out of Jianlu's butcher's knife, gave them a hope of living, and gave them a possibility of revenge in the future. A chance to avenge.

Even though under the leadership of Marshal Mao, they always had fewer wins and more defeats, they often suffered from hunger, hunger, and unfair treatment. But they have no complaints, after all, this is much better than before.

However, as Marshal Mao was suddenly killed, they were at a loss! Marshal Mao was the backbone in Dongjiang and in their hearts. Without him, Dongjiang would become a mess, and basically no one would see hope anymore.

At this moment, when they saw that the court finally came to their senses and vindicated Marshal Mao, they all burst into tears!

Commander, you can rest in peace!

After Lu Xiangsheng read out the imperial edict, he offered incense to Mao Wenlong, then turned around and glanced at the Dongjiang soldiers, looked back at Ruhua standing by the side, then looked back at them, and said loudly: "I know that life in Dongjiang is very bad. It's better to have less food, less clothing, and nothing to ask for. In this case, you still have to fight against Jianlu, which is really hard!"

Upon hearing this, most of the Dongjiang soldiers couldn't help but become excited again. This is Governor Denglai. If he says something like this, doesn't it mean that the court has finally realized how difficult it is for Dongjiang? There was a feeling of being understood in their hearts.

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at them slowly, paused for a while, and said loudly again: "Therefore, I have decided that the governor's office will be temporarily moved to Pidao. I will eat whatever you want. No matter how hard the life in Dongjiang is, I and I will We'll get through it together!"

"..." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Did I hear it wrong or something? Lord Zhongcheng wants to stay on Pi Island. Is this... is this possible?

Not to mention that the condition of Phi Island is very poor, even if it is dangerous, it is far from comparable to Denglai. Master Zhongcheng is a civil servant, or a high official from the imperial court. If you want to talk about food, he can make his own food like those generals, which is not too bad. But what if Jianlu invades the island? Is it possible that Master Zhongcheng is not afraid of death?

In their minds, they automatically ignored what Lu Xiangsheng said, "I will eat whatever you eat."

Lu Xiangsheng looked at their dazed expressions and knew that they didn't really believe it at this time. But it doesn't matter, they will naturally know after time.

After a moment of silence, he announced loudly: "The emperor also knows the situation of Dongjiang and is anxious in his heart. However, the court also has difficulties and cannot allocate more for the time being..."

Hearing this, the Dongjiang soldiers came back to their senses, and couldn't help but reveal a trace of self-mockery on their faces. Forget it, although it was the same as before, it finally made the emperor worried.

"...The Emperor specially allocated salt to the Dongjiang River and allowed me to boil salt from the Dongjiang River and sell it to supplement military supplies..."

Upon hearing this, the Dongjiang soldiers, both the generals and the soldiers, were all very surprised and couldn't help but started talking in low voices.

"Is it true that Dongjiang is allowed to sell salt? This is something that even Mao Shuai did not do!"

"You heard that right, that's what I heard too. But Governor Yuan strictly forbids me from doing business in Dongjiang. How can I even sell salt?"

"..."

No wonder they were talking in such surprise despite the fact that Governor Denglai was in front of them. Because during the period of Marshal Mao, although living conditions were difficult and the court did not provide food and salary, it could at least attract businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River and do some business to maintain the situation.

But since Marshal Mao was killed, Governor Yuan only gave him food and salary once, and never again. He also banned Dongjiang from doing business, making Dongjiang's life increasingly difficult. Nowadays, people in Dongjiang are divided, and the lack of material resources is also one of the reasons.

Seeing them all discussing, Lu Xiangsheng was not dissatisfied. He just stood in the cold wind with his head held high, waiting for their discussion to end. Then he announced loudly: "Before I took office, I sent people to Jiangnan to spread the news, so the Dongjiang side must prepare quickly, lest those Jiangnan merchants bring supplies and I, Dongjiang, have nothing to exchange for them! "

These words immediately shocked the Dongjiang soldiers present. Each of their faces showed excitement. Everyone seemed to have been beaten to death, and their fighting spirit became high.

"All the generals will go to the Yamen together with me to discuss these matters together." After saying that, Lu Xiangsheng turned around and hugged Mao Wenlong's tomb, then turned and strode away.

The many generals standing behind him all raised their heads and chests high, and looked at Lu Xiangsheng with respect.

Suddenly, Lu Xiangsheng stopped, stood in front of the military commander Liu Xingzhi, and asked kindly: "Are you the younger brother of the Jinyiwei commander Liu Xingzuo?"

There should be a fifth update tonight.
