"Father, why haven't you rested so late?"
"Grandpa, is there something unexpected?"
"General, did His Majesty give us a military order? Should we go to Liting, Liaodong to sweep holes, or should we stay in North Korea to catch those who escaped?"
…
Listening to the discussion of the trusted generals in the Dongjiang Army who had been summoned, Mao Wenlong's expression changed.
"Everyone, please sit down, I have something to say to you!"
After all the generals sat down, Mao Wenlong said in a deep voice: "Effective immediately, I will be transferred to the command post of the Administrative Department of North Korea to guard North Korea!"
"What?"
"North Korea accepts the Chief Secretary?"
"The foster father is appointed as the commander of the capital?"
"How can this be?"
"What about Dongjiang Town?"
…
It was just a simple sentence that shocked everyone and started talking about it.
Mao Wenlong frowned and knocked on the table: "All military attachés in the North Korean Command and Envoy Department, except myself, are decided by me. This is a privilege given by His Majesty!"
"Great! We can follow our adoptive father again..."
"madness!"
Mao Wenlong shouted angrily and said with a cold face: "Before this, His Majesty asked me if I had done a fortune telling for myself!"
Seeing that Mao Wenlong suddenly became angry, everyone fell silent instantly, savoring Mao Wenlong's words.
Just for a moment, everyone's faces turned pale, big beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, and their eyes were filled with fear.
Looking at everyone, Mao Wenlong sighed: "You have all guessed that your Majesty is beating me. If you follow me again, it will not be a reunion, but death!"
"Not only you, but also this general will die!"
"Yuan Chonghuan chose the Left Chief Envoy between the Liaodong Capital Commander and the Left Chief Envoy. Think about it carefully, what does this mean?"
"If Yuan Chonghuan chooses to command the envoys, then based on the relationship between grandpa and Yuan Chonghuan, they will monitor each other.
If Yuan Chonghuan chooses Zuo as the envoy, then the imperial court will definitely order a trustworthy military general to be transferred, and he will still be on guard against grandpa!
If the imperial court successfully tramples Fusang, Fusang will also be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and heavy troops will be sent to guard it, and the two sides will attack..."
"Yongxi is right!"
Mao Wenlong glanced at Shang Kexi who made a sound, his eyes full of complexity.
“So, there are only two options before you now. One is to return the military salary you have embezzled over the years and find a place where you don’t know anyone and become an idler;
Let my nephew come out to do some business in North Korea. With my care, it is unlikely that he will become rich and wealthy, but he will be able to have enough food and clothing.
The second is to continue in the army, but it is impossible to maintain the current official position. It is likely that he will be demoted one or two ranks, and will be transferred to various guard posts in the Ming Dynasty. You should be able to understand the reason! "
The generals' faces turned pale. Is this still a two-way street? It's obviously a path, right?
If you continue to be in the army, being demoted is a trivial matter, but the key point is that you will definitely be squeezed out and suppressed by the generals in the guard station.
If the sergeants below knew that their Qianhu and Baihu were generals from Pi Dao, they would not be convinced.
Both sides are angry, either endure it or get out!
Thinking that he had been in the army for so many years and now had no choice but to leave, his heart suddenly became desolate, and the tent was filled with a sad atmosphere.
"Yi, righteous father, we have been fighting against the slaves behind enemy lines for so many years. We are tired, so we just resign. But what we are worried about is whether resignation can save us?
Will the emperor be liquidated later? If the emperor does not settle matters, what will happen next? "
"You're already dead, and you still think about the future? I'm not a god, can I predict what will happen decades later?"
Mao Wenlong glared at Mao Chengzuo fiercely: "That's the emperor, the lord of the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty's national power far exceeds that of Taizu's founding, and he has military power. Who can stop him from doing what he wants to do?
Instead of worrying about settling accounts after autumn, it would be better to live each day to the fullest.
But I do think that with the emperor's magnanimity, as long as you don't commit suicide, there should be no problem. "
"Don't hold grudges in your heart, and don't blame others. There is an old saying in the world: Those who come out to fool around will eventually have to pay back.
You have led tens of thousands of troops, experienced galloping on the battlefield, killed countless people, and enjoyed grudges and grudges.
You are in great power, you have enjoyed the delicacies of mountains and seas, the sights and sounds of dogs and horses, the glory and wealth;
Even if ordinary people enjoy this kind of life for a month, they will be willing to commit suicide if you ask them to!
There is no one in this world who takes all the good things. If there is, it must be the emperor! "
"Grandpa is right, Huang Taiji is the master of Dajin. If His Majesty hadn't come out of nowhere, he would have made Dajin prosperous, but now he has become a prisoner?
The Mongolian tribes have tens of thousands of cavalry and are unparalleled in combat power, but now they are all forced to commit suicide to save everyone'
What a arrogant person Yuan Chonghuan is? Now, why don’t you choose the party in charge and choose to be wise and protect yourself? "
Shang Kexi comforted him in a low voice: "Uncles and brothers, make your choice early, make a decisive decision, and survive, then you will have unlimited possibilities in the future.
Remember the article "I have a dream" that His Majesty wrote in front of the Chengtian Gate when he purged the Wei Party. Judging from the current situation and the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it will really come true in the near future.
Maybe when His Majesty goes on an overseas expedition, we can still be recruited. It’s not impossible! "
"Look at you, you haven't seen it through as well as Yongxi!"
Mao Wenlong cursed in a low voice, hating that iron was not made of steel: "I will go to see His Majesty tomorrow morning. Please think carefully about it tonight. Don't even think about going to North Korea. It is a dead end. Or stay in Pi Island and wait for His Majesty's arrangements later."
But I need to remind you that after I see His Majesty tomorrow, you will really have no chance to go back on your word.
It’s all gone, go back and think about it! "
Seeing the unwillingness on everyone's faces, Mao Wenlong also sighed.
Let alone these people, even he can't escape the temptation of power, sex, fame and fortune, but now there is no other way.
If he hadn't wanted to protect these people, maybe he would have chosen to find a place to retire.
After sighing with emotion, Mao Wenlong carefully read the paper he had just written on several times, lit the candle, and then took out a few more papers.
The commanding officer of the North Korean Capital Division...
Command the general affairs department...the experience department, the judgment department, the prison department...
One after another, the names of military attachés from the Capital Command Division appeared on the paper, and then Mao Wenlong fell into deep thought over these military attache names.
It was late at night, and the lights in Mao Wenlong's tent were still on.
A city under the direct jurisdiction of a city has a city commander, who is of the second rank. There are two commanders and senior officials, the second grade, four commanders and senior officials, and the third grade. The most important ones are these seven.
The rest, such as the Experience Department, the Judgment Department, the Prison Department, the Warehouse, the Caochang Ambassador, the Deputy Ambassador, etc. are all ranging from sixth to ninth grade. They are not painful or itchy, and they don't have much real power. You can do it if you want.
But the six people except him have different divisions of labor. Although they have the same rank, they are still superior in essence.
In order to satisfy the emperor while retaining some of his right to speak, Mao Wenlong screened the characters, resumes, etc. of the Dongjiang generals again and again in his mind.
