The deputy held the decree from Bianjing and said hesitantly to Li Dingguo: "General, do we want to obey this other decree?"
Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "The same decree must have been sent back to Yunzhou County, we are waiting for news from the prince.
If the prince lets us go, we will go. If the prince doesn't let us, then we will ignore him. "
"But this is the imperial court after all..."
"Whose food do you eat? Whose salary do you get?"
"Return to the general! It belongs to Prince Yun!"
"Still have any questions?"
"No!"
…
In Yunzhou County, Zhao Jun did receive the news from Bianjing. His father had already leaked the news to Yunzhou County before conveying the order to the Japanese army.
Zhao Jun was a little undecided after receiving it, so he came to Chunheyuan to discuss with his wife.
When Ye Yin heard this, she asked, "Do you want to rebel now?"
Zhao Jun shook his head: "I never thought about it."
"Then what are you struggling with?"
Ye Yin spread her hands and continued: "It's just a small favor for His Majesty. I don't want to do anything to you. If you don't want to rebel, just help."
Zhao Jun nodded, then frowned and said: "But this time Li Dingguo and the others did not bring muskets. Since the Zhao family has been a family for so many years, there must be warriors in the family.
It is very dangerous for the Ping Japanese Army, and you have also seen the personal combat capabilities of warriors.
The thing I'm hesitating about is whether I should take such a big risk for the sake of the court? "
Ye Yinye heard what happened to the Wang family. Although they came back in the end, Zhao Jun was unconscious for a long time and almost scared her to death.
"This is indeed a problem..."
After thinking for a while, Ye Yin suddenly said: "I don't think you need to worry about this."
Zhao Jun was confused: "Why?"
Ye Yin explained: "The imperial court has been able to suppress the world for so many years, and these aristocratic families cannot always be honest. The imperial court must have its own power to suppress them.
Since His Majesty asked us to pacify the Japanese troops entering Bian'an this time, the imperial court or Your Majesty should be responsible for dealing with such enemies that exceed conventional troops.
This is not a problem that we should worry about. His Majesty will surely make arrangements himself. "
Zhao Jun nodded in agreement when he heard this, and then said: "I understand, but what others have is what others have after all, and we must have the ability to protect ourselves!"
"What do you want to do?" Ye Yin asked.
Zhao Jun's eyes flickered, as if he had made up his mind, and then said: "Let the secret guard use which one!"
"What?"
"A big guy that I originally planned to use on the warship, I can't think of those warriors from aristocratic families, no matter how strong they are, can stop that!
I want to use "justice" to tell them what it means to be exhausted! "
…
Wuchen County, where the Japanese troops were stationed.
A sea turtle hovered high in the sky. After letting out a few sharp and high-pitched hawk calls, it flapped its wings and landed in the military camp.
The Chinese military tent.
"Report! General, a letter from Yunzhou County!"
A messenger rushed into the big tent with a loud shout, knelt on one knee, and raised a roll of paper in his hand above his head.
Li Dingguo, who had just been discussing with the deputy general about the army's patrol tonight, heard that it was a letter from Yunzhou County. His heart suddenly moved. He took three steps at a time and came to the messenger, took the scroll, opened it, and then Smiling, he turned around and said to the deputy:
"There is news from Yunzhou County, asking us to go to Bian'an County.
The secret guard brothers over there will provide us with some help.
Inform brothers, have a good rest tonight, we will set off early tomorrow morning!
We must rush to the embankment station on the north bank of the Bianhe River in Bian'an County within seven days to assist the Imperial Ministry of Industry in repairing and strengthening the embankment! "
"No! I understand!"
The deputy agreed and quickly walked out of the camp to make arrangements.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, the Japanese army set out again to advance towards Bian'an County in the south.
This road will be a rapid march, and the Japanese army will not stop along the way. At most, they will replenish their supplies when passing by the city.
Seven days is not a rush, but it is not ample either.
Hurrying slowly and hurriedly, in the early morning of the seventh day, the Japanese troops finally crossed a distance of nearly 300 miles and reached the embankment station on the north bank of the Bianhe River in Bian'an County.
This station was set up last year when the imperial court sent people to repair and strengthen the river embankment. It can accommodate nearly 200,000 civilians to camp.
It is simply a piece of cake to accommodate more than 20,000 people in the Ping-Japan Military Region.
At this time, the court personnel had not yet arrived, but Li Dingguo and others were ordered to wait where they were.
Wait until the ministers and personnel sent by the court arrive to assist.
Therefore, the Taira-Japanese army was stationed here, quietly waiting for the arrival of the imperial court.
This time, the imperial court sent Zhou Lin, the newly appointed left minister of the Ministry of Industry. After the death of Lin Yuefenghan, the former left minister of the Ministry of Industry last year, Zhou Lin, the former right minister of the Ministry of Industry, successfully filled the position of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry.
What's interesting is that the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry is one of the few in the court who does not belong to aristocratic families, nor does he belong to the Prime Minister Zhanghe's family background.
Logically speaking, although he should be the replacement, things in the court are often not that simple.
Sometimes people may be transferred from other six department officials to fill this vacancy. This depends on the strength behind each.
It was true that no one among the other six departments in the imperial court was eyeing this position, but in the end, Zhou Lin, from a humble family, was allowed to take the position.
It was now clear to almost everyone that Zhou Lin was probably one of His Majesty's men.
Otherwise, how could it be his turn to fill this gap?
The Bian'an River Embankment matter was of great importance this time, and Zhao Duan did not dare to let those courtiers who did not know the details take charge at this time, so he named Zhou Lin to lead the team.
Not long after the imperial court's decree to mobilize the Japanese army was received, the imperial court finally mobilized the manpower and material resources needed to repair and strengthen the river embankments.
In the end, Zhou Lin carried them all to Bian'an.
How could such a huge movement in the court be hidden from the Zhao family?
As a local snake in Bian'an County and a noble family, they received the news as soon as the Japanese troops and people from the imperial court entered Bian'an County.
Soon they found out the ins and outs of this matter through their own news channels, and reported it to the Zhao family in Heyue Mansion, the capital of Bian'an.
The Zhao family in Heyue Mansion.
The great family that has been entrenched in the entire Bian'an County for hundreds of years controls the lifeblood of all walks of life in the entire Bian'an County, and its tentacles extend throughout the county.
There is such a saying throughout Bian'an County.
As long as you are from Bian'an, you can't escape three things in your life.
Birth, death and the combined moon Zhao family!
Whether it's cloth, food, or coffin paper, any industry you can think of in Bian'an County has the Zhao family behind it.
From birth to death, it is impossible not to have something to do with the Zhao family.
As long as you are a member of the Zhao family, you can walk sideways throughout Bian'an County.
When foreigners come to Bian'an, they can't do anything in Bian'an unless they first go to the local Zhao family branch to visit the dock.
No one has the guts to do business with you.
It can be said that in Bian'an, the Zhao family is heaven! It’s the land!
It’s the local emperor you can’t get around!
