Great Ming Dynasty Wen Chao Gong

Chapter 137 Jianzhou can also have two governors

When it comes to this, it is natural to say a few words without speculation. Chen Lin and Yi Sunchen broke up on bad terms. In anger, Yi Sunchen went directly to find Liu Chenglong.

"What? You also quarreled with General Chen of the Ming Dynasty?" Liu Chenglong said in surprise.

"Prime Minister Liu, the land and water armies near Busan cannot be withdrawn. If we don't have enough manpower to attack Ulsan City, we can recruit rebels. If the 100,000 Japanese in Busan stand out from the encirclement, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity to annihilate the Japanese in the future. We have a large army. This time our Korean country was beaten like this by the Japanese. Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty looked down on our country, I am afraid that the Jurchen tribe in the north will look down on us in the future. The defeats in the past cannot be saved, and we can only use our army now Only heroic sacrifice can re-establish the prestige of North Korea."

"Ru Xie, you don't know the truth about what you said. But now the war against the Japanese is still dominated by the Ming Dynasty's army. The new army we have now only has 50,000 people. The last time we asked the ministers of the Ming Dynasty to come Watching the drill of the new army, both the civilian officials and the military attachés in the Ming Dynasty are not optimistic about our troops. Our navy is basically led by you now, and the navy only has these possessions left. If you can fight with the Japanese country, , let alone the Japanese navy, I am afraid that hundreds of pirates will walk sideways on the coast of Korea. Of course Liu knows that you want to fight against the Japanese, but it is not easy for you to be king now, and you also Please understand Wang Ting’s difficulties.”

"I will obey your orders." Yi Sun-shin had no choice but to reply reluctantly.

"You made a lot of contributions during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, and the royal court saw your contributions. Once all the Japanese have withdrawn, we can reorganize the army with peace of mind. By then, you will have a bright future." Liu Chenglong comforted him. road.

At this time, the emperor's latest edict soon arrived in North Korea.

"Zhang Shidu, His Majesty really wants us to end the war and return home as soon as possible. Since Nurhaci defeated the nine coalition forces, my Liaodong soldiers now also want to go back to Liaodong. The morale of the military is not so stable now." Li Rusong said with emotion.

"If we continue to fight, it will indeed be useless."

"Nurhachi will not take advantage of the emptiness in Liaodong to invade Liaodong Town. If this is the case, the situation in Liaodong will be very bad."

"I guess this is not just a reward for merit, but an attempt to divide the state-building department."

"Has the imperial court paid so much attention to the Jianzhou Department? It seems that I have to talk to Rumei about the Jianzhou Department again." Li Rusong was silent for a while before speaking.

"Having said that, I am still a little uneasy. I have ordered Cha Dashou to lead 3,000 Liaodong elite cavalry back to Liaodong first. This is not only to clear the way for the army to return, but also to consolidate the Liaodong border defense." General Dong has 10,000 to 20,000 people, and then With the addition of these three thousand elite cavalry, it will not be a big problem to defend Liaodong even if they cannot be attacked. "

"It should be more than that. After all, although Liaodong is empty now, the country's elites are now in North Korea, and North Korea is only across a river from Liaodong. Nurhaci also practiced under Ning Yuanbo for many years, and his combat power against the Ming army was very high. It is clear that we will not be arrogant and arrogant from sitting in a well and watching the sky. And even if Nurhachi really dares to risk the disapproval of the world, it will not be now. After all, Nurhachi only defeated the nine coalition forces, but did not eliminate the nine coalition forces. If Nurhachi really dared to invade the invaders In Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty can naturally unite with other Jurchen tribes to jointly encircle and suppress the Jianzhou Department, and the Jianzhou Department will be completely destroyed by then."

"The Admiral is thoughtful."

"In terms of foresight, how can Li compare with Mr. Zhang? But why did the court reward Shuerhaqi so much? Although Shuerhaqi followed him into North Korea this time, he also made some military exploits, but this credit will not make him a Is the Jianzhou Guard Commander in charge commanding?"

"Seeing is believing, and hearing is believing. Shuerhaqi from the Jianzhou Department is right in front of you. If you talk to him, you can always get a rough idea of ​​the situation in the Jianzhou Department."

"Yes, then let's go see him as a way to congratulate him on his promotion." Li Rusong said.

Shuerhaqi was very happy these two days because he was appointed by the Ming Emperor as the governor. Although he still had to be under his eldest brother, who wouldn't be happy if he could be promoted. What made Shulhaqi even more happy was that Admiral Li and Mr. Zhang came to visit him in person.

"General Shu, oh, I should call you Governor Shu now. Congratulations." Li Rusong congratulated.

"Admiral Li, what rank is the Governor of Jianzhou Guard? It seems that my brother is already the Governor of Jianzhou. Did I collide with him as an official?" Shuerhaqi asked.

"This governor is a second-rank official, and the next higher level is a first-rank official. The six ministers in the imperial court are also second-rank officials."

"For such a big official, Shu really deserves it. This time when we arrived in North Korea, we were unable to fight many battles and the seizures were not many."

"It is the greatest contribution that Governor Shu can lead his troops here. From now on, Governor Shu can open his own government and build his own army." Li Rusong said.

"Build an army of your own? Will the imperial court pay me? Then which one of me and my brother is the senior official?" Shuerhaqi suddenly became interested.

"It doesn't matter who is older and who is younger. Now that the Jianzhou tribe defeated the Ye He tribe, it can be said to be powerful in all directions. It is not surprising to have two governors. As for military pay, General Shu, after all, your army is not under the control of the imperial court. "Master, but you yourself and your personal guards are still paid by the imperial court. As for how many personal guards there can be, it depends on your majesty's grace." Zhang Xiao started to draw the pie directly.

"Hey, it's a pity that this time I only saw the edict appointing the governor. I haven't seen what the governor's official uniform looks like. I don't know if it is the same as my elder brother's." Shuerhaqi said with emotion.

"There is still a war in Korea right now, so it is not convenient to bring the governor's hat and uniform. When the army returns to Liaodong, Governor Shu will be able to put on the governor's official uniform."

"That would be great. By the way, my nephew Chu Ying has also been granted the title of Governor Qianshi. He is still so young and has been granted such a high official position." Shuerhaqi then asked.

"Captain Shu, you may be ignorant of the court system because you have been at the border for a long time. Officials of the Ming Dynasty, especially military generals, who have made meritorious service are not only promoted to their own official positions, but their sons and grandsons can also be promoted, and so can their wives. I was granted the title of Madam. Governor Nudu had meritorious service in guarding the border, but there was no way for him to add more officers, so he was granted the title of his son. It happened that Chu Ying was aiding North Korea, and he was the eldest son, so Chu Ying was granted the title of officer first." Zhang Xiao explained.

"Is that so? Didn't Admiral Li become the official because of Mr. Li's work?"

"Captain Shu, Li's position was created by his own meritorious deeds in killing enemies and has nothing to do with my father-in-law." Li Rusong said sternly.

"Shu made a mistake. I hope Admiral Li will forgive me." Shuerhaqi said quickly.

"It's nothing. People in the world still misunderstand Li too deeply. I don't blame you." Li Rusong said.
