Ye Hemingen took the military stick by himself, and then he became much more at ease, which subsequently led to the rest of the Jurchen tribes becoming more honest.
Yesterday, Zhu Jinghong issued an order asking all ministries to stop all attacks and harassment. Even the most thorny Jurchens were suppressed, which was a great help in restoring order in North Korea.
Under the auspices of Zhu Jinghong, the plan for the Ming Dynasty's ministries to evacuate North Korea was also put on the agenda.
The final result of the agreement was that the capital of Andong would retain 2,000 infantry, the capital of Liaodong would retain 3,000 infantry, and the Yehe tribe and Haixi would retain 1,000 cavalry. A total of 7,000 troops would be stationed in Seoul.
Qi Yanze, the commander of the Andong Xingdu Division, stayed behind and was specifically responsible for commanding the remaining troops and cooperating with Gao Zhiwen, the Minister of War, to correct North Korea.
This is just a plan, and it has to be reported to the emperor for approval, so it will have to wait for the decree to be implemented, but that will be at least a month later.
As for Zhu Jinghong, he has decided to leave for Beijing at the end of October. He originally planned to leave on the 25th, but there were too many things that he couldn't get away from.
In order to stay, generals such as Huifa Dong Ebu and others approached Zhu Jinghong many times to express their feelings, but they were still rejected by the latter.
The reason is very simple. The remaining Yehe tribe and the western part of the sea are nearly a thousand miles away from North Korea. The North Korea will not lose its tail.
In addition to arguing about garrisoning troops, Zhu Jinghong also convened several discussions on how North Korea should supply military rations, how to disband its troops, and how to punish rebels.
Thirteenth year of Orthodoxy, October 28th, North Gate of Seoul.
The generals of the Ming army and the Jurchen generals, as well as the civil and military ministers of North Korea, all came to the city gate to bid farewell to Zhu Jinghong.
Only Gao Zhiwen and the capital commander were qualified to speak to Zhu Jinghong, and only Chen Taimin in North Korea was qualified to come forward.
At this time, there is no need to talk about any actual matters, only polite words of farewell.
After saying their final goodbyes, everyone took a step back, except Gao Zhiwen who seemed hesitant to speak.
"Master Gao, do you have anything else to say?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile.
After a few moments of silence and careful consideration, Gao Zhiwen said: "I do have something that I don't understand, and I would like to ask Your Highness to clarify it!"
"Say!"
"Your Highness, please take a step to speak!"
Zhu Jinghong was slightly stunned, and then motioned Gao Zhiwen to step aside.
After the two of them walked aside, Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile: "Master Gao, what advice do you have?"
"Your Highness knows that there are many people in the court who are looking for opportunities to impeach you. People are capable of doing everything, so why would your Highness give someone a handle?"
"Oh?"
Gao Zhiwen continued: "I heard that Your Highness took away a man from the Korean palace? "Woman, this person is the crown prince of North Korea. Is it true?"
Jin Youyan is so funny, and Zhu Jinghong has the intention of accepting her, so she is in his motorcade.
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong did not answer, Gao Zhiwen continued: "This matter is the matter.I know, the officials in North Korea will know, and the people in the court will also know! "
"If she is an ordinary woman, His Highness can just want her, but the Crown Princess of North Korea is the wife of a sinner. Is it legal for His Highness to include her in the palace? "
"Secondly, she is the wife of a foreign minister, and now she is being humiliated at will by His Highness. How do the chieftains and alliances of the vassals feel? Don’t you think that a big country relies on its strength to bully the weak, and has no magnificence as a heavenly country? ”
Having said this, Gao Zhiwen raised his hands and saluted: “All of these are serious mistakes. They are not in line with His Majesty’s bravery and righteousness, and will also be criticized and impeached by the courtiers. Your Majesty should deal with it carefully! ”
As expected of a veteran with a long career in the officialdom, Gao Zhiwen’s words were so profound that Zhu Jinghong was convinced.
Except for the chief historian Wang Pei’an, from Zhu Jinghong was somewhat surprised that no civil servant had put himself in his shoes like this.
Zhu Jinghong sighed and replied, "I am really touched by what you said, but it is rare for someone to say this to me!" "
The reason why Gao Zhiwen said so much is because he also learned the news. Because he did not give Zhu Jinghong a stumbling block, some people in the court were dissatisfied with him.
In other words , even if he doesn't want to admit it, people still think that he is a party to King Xiang, and they must try their best to deal with him.
In this case, he might as well join King Xiang directly.
When he came up with this idea and changed his thinking angle, Gao Zhiwen discovered how great Zhu Jinghong's advantage was. Maybe this man could really become the emperor.
This is called Touxiang's thought, and the world will be widened in an instant.
Gao Zhiwen replied: "Your Majesty's country is in Qiancheng, how can I sit back and watch others frame me! "
"Hahaha...Thank you, thank you!
Withdrawing his smile, Zhu Jinghong said: "As you wish, I won't take the North Korean Crown Princess back with her!" ”
He is not afraid of criticism from courtiers, but if he is said to have been promiscuous in the Korean harem, which will damage his image as an upright warrior, and even cause "bad international reviews", he will have to pay more attention.
“Your Highness is wise! "
"Mr. Gao, do your best in North Korea. Among all the officials in the ministries and agencies in North Korea, no one is more suitable than you to succeed the Minister of War!" ”
The skill of drawing cakes has almost become Zhu Jinghong’s instinct, but this method can indeed bring people closer.
The current Minister of War is less than sixty. When I heard Zhu Jinghong say After saying this, Gao Zhiwen showed an awkward smile.
But he understood what Zhu Jinghong meant, so he replied: "Your Highness is really flattering me! "
"Hey...how can this be called promotion? It's a fact that you are capable! "
The two exchanged a few more polite words before the conversation ended.
After Zhu Jinghong boarded the carriage, he ordered Yu Hai to send someone to place Jin Youyan properly.
This woman has been serving her in various ways during this period, and Zhu Jinghong will not take advantage of her in vain, so he will arrange her properly, at least not to let her be held accountable in the subsequent liquidation.
Jin Youyan was left behind, but the ten singing girls sent by Li Hui left with the team.
Zhu Jinghong didn’t know about this yet. After all, he had too many things to do every day. Yu Hai mentioned that he didn’t take it to heart.
In a carriage in the middle of the team, Park Zhenying looked at the city in the distance, tears falling unconsciously from the corners of her eyes.
She just learned that her family was gone two days ago, and now she was leaving the place where she was born and grew up. It was no wonder that the two kinds of sadness were superimposed on her and she was sad.
But in fact, the so-called absence of her family was completely deceived by the North Korean ministers, just so that she could serve Zhu Jinghong wholeheartedly. It was only because Zhu Jinghong glanced at her more that night.
As for the other nine people, it is not so miserable, because these people are all from the two classes of nobles, and their families are very supportive of them going to the Ming Dynasty.
The days on the road are boring. These ten young girls also became good sisters on the road and vowed to work together to share weal and woe.
Among them, Park Zhenying made his best friend, a girl named Li Huizhen, whose father was an official in Licao Banshu.
After seven consecutive days of walking, Zhu Jinghong's motorcade entered Liaodong. Then Zhu Jinghong rushed to Jinzhou. Next, he would rush along the coast to Peiping.
November 12, Jinzhou.
Since the war has ceased, peace has generally returned to Jinzhou. When they learned that Zhu Jinghong would be returning in the next two days, the officials of Jinzhou Prefecture were busy welcoming him.
At the Xue family residence in Fucheng, several women are also busy at the moment.
Zhen Qin was wondering what to wear tomorrow, Nuo Min was thinking about how to tie Zhu Jinghong, and Zhang Xiaoyue repeatedly adjusted her body to perform a newly practiced piece for Zhu Jinghong.
As for Baoqin, as before, the local gentry who were good friends with the Xue family all sent their daughters over, and they all gathered here at Baoqin.
The idea of these people is very simple, that is, they plan to try their luck again. If their daughter can be favored by Zhu Jinghong, their family will avoid dozens or even hundreds of years of detours.
Unlike the last time, the girl who came this time is very clear about her tasks, so she will do her best to achieve her goals.
If you want to stay with Zhu Jinghong, the first thing you have to do is to do what he likes, so these people came to ask Baoqin.
At first, Bao Qin tried her best to tell the story, but later she found out that these people had impure motives, and she didn’t want to say any more.
But these people kept asking, which really made her feel extremely annoyed, so she simply hid in the attic alone.
Putting his face on his hands, he looked toward the northeast, which was the direction Zhu Jinghong came back from.
"Brother-in-law...why haven't you arrived yet!"
As the saying goes, "It was once difficult to make a sea of water." Although this metaphor is not appropriate, the truth behind it is the same.
When encountering such a dazzling man as Zhu Jinghong, Baoqin couldn't tolerate others in her heart.
At first Baoqin deceived herselfI think Zhu Jinghong is just a good friend that we can talk to.
But as the separation time got longer, the longing and pain in her heart accumulated more and more, eventually forcing her to face her true heart and admit that she really fell in love with Zhu Jinghong.
Normally speaking, a warrior like Zhu Jinghong cannot be Baoqin's favorite person, but there is no reason to talk about feelings.
Baochai, Daiyu, Yang Jingting, Yingchun... all fell into the same trap, and Baoqin just made the same mistake again.
"It's just that he is my brother-in-law. Is it really okay for me to have such thoughts?" Baoqin asked herself in her heart.
She is only two or three years younger than Baochai. It can be said that the two grew up together and have a very close relationship in private.
When Baochai returned from the capital and waited for Zhu Jinghong to marry, she spent her last girlhood with her sister.
Now she has to pester her husband, which makes Baoqin feel somewhat guilty. In her opinion, this is an immoral thing.
While she was suffering in her heart, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from downstairs. A few breaths later, Baoqin's mother, Xue Chen, came upstairs.
"Mother..." Baoqin stood up and saluted.
Xue Chen walked up to her daughter and pulled her to sit on the chair. Seeing Bao Qin's frown, she asked.
Of course Bao Qin would not tell the truth, so he found some excuses to excuse her, but Xue Chen did not notice anything strange.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and finally Xue Chen revealed the purpose of her trip.
"Girl, your father asked my mother to discuss something with you!" Xue Chen said with a troubled face.
"Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Baoqin replied.
"Your father said... You two brothers haven't established a family business yet, and now His Highness Prince Xiang is visiting. This is an opportunity..."
These words, In fact, it was not Xue Qi's intention, but Baoqin's two elder brothers who persuaded Xue Chen to say it.
For their own future and for their sister to have a good home, the two brothers came up with this idea.
"Opportunity?" Baoqin was curious.
Although she is smart, she has little experience in the world, so she does not understand the deep meaning of her mother's words.
Mr. , Baoqin finally understood.
She was in a strange mood at this moment. She felt that it was immoral for her mother to cling to Zhu Jinghong, but she also hoped that she could say more words at this time.
After all, this is her own mother, and it is only natural for her daughter to follow her arrangements. This can allow Baoqin to reduce the moral burden on Baochai.
"Mom, what do you mean..."
This girl usually seems smart, but she still doesn't understand why I have reached this point...Xue Chen is very worried. in a hurry.
"My mother means, since His Highness Prince Xiang likes it, why don't you try to go to the capital with him?I can visit your sister Baochai! "
"Oh..." Baoqin lowered her head, she was afraid that her joy would be discovered.
Xue Chen thought she was embarrassed, so she spoke to explain her daughter.
After being indoctrinated by her, Baoqin finally got over the hurdle in her heart and asked her last doubt.
"Mom, if I stay with my brother-in-law, I will only be able to do it." I’m afraid that Sister Baochai will be unhappy! "
Hearing this question, Mrs. Xue Chen couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Girl... why do you think so! ”
“Those positions in the palace are given to others, so why not give them to your dearest cousin, Princess! "
"Seriously? "Baoqin still didn't believe it.
"Why should I lie to you! "Ms. After speaking, Mrs. Xue Chen asked: "Girl Qin, what do you think? "
"I...I...I obey my parents' orders! Baoqin muttered.
This made Mrs. Xue Chen very happy, and she immediately said: "Girl... if you think so, that would be great!" ”
“To be honest, how can an ordinary man with your character and appearance be worthy of you? Serving His Highness King Xiang is the best place to end up!” ”
These words made Bao Qin even more shy. For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer, so she could only sit where she was.
After Xue Chen left, she completely let go of the burden. Baoqin was in a relaxed mood and with smiles in his eyes all day long.
On November 13, Zhu Jinghong's team arrived in Jinzhou and was warmly welcomed outside the city.
No matter what the direction. No matter how he was belittled by the Central Government, he was always the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the hero of the pacification of Korea, so the local magistrate of Jinzhou did not dare to neglect him.
Zhu Jinghong really had no interest in just talking nonsense to these people. He entered the city without long delay, and stayed at Xue's house as usual.
"My lord, you are back, I am worried about you!" "
When Zhu Jinghong entered the room, Zhen Qin was the first to come over, so Zhu Jinghong took him into his arms and then measured his body.
"Prince Here you go, with great achievements... Congratulations, Your Majesty! " Nuo Min stepped forward to talk.
As for Zhang Xiaoyue, because she has no status for the time being, she can only stand outside the door.
At this time, Baoqin arrived Outside the house, because she is the cousin of the princess, she can come and go freely in this heavily guarded mansion.
Unlike Zhang Xiaoyue, Bao Qin entered the house directly and was attracted in an instant. Catching Zhu Jinghong's gaze
This made Bao Qin feel a little shy, but still asked with joy: "Brother-in-law, you are back!" "
This was Baoqin's innermost thoughts. As soon as she said the words, she realized something was wrong. After all, the meaning in these words was too explicit.
For a moment, Zhen Qin changed her color and Nuo Min looked sideways. , Baoqin immediately became shy and lowGo down.
Baoqin, Baoqin, you are a serious girl after all. You have been taught by your family for so many years, how could you say something so frivolous... Baoqin scolded herself in her heart.
Seeing his sister-in-law's pretentious look, Zhu Jinghong felt it was particularly eye-catching, so he asked softly with a smile: "Girl, it seems you miss your brother-in-law very much!"
