The will of the imperial court mentioned by Mao Weizhang in this letter is the will of the imperial court to reform the military system and reorganize the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, let Mao Weizhang serve as the right protector of the Naval Governor's Mansion, and at the same time let Chen Jisheng serve as the envoy of Yingzhou Town.

Of course, this will cannot be directly stated in Mao Weizhang's letter to Chen Jisheng.

After all, the Jinyi guard sent by the imperial court to deliver the decree came to the island to announce the appointment in front of Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde and other parties, as well as the eunuch Wang Dehua and other generals on the island.

After Chen Jisheng received Mao Weizhang's letter, he handed over the naval fleet blocking the Tsushima Domain to Li Xingzhong under the command, and he took Kong Youde and other generals who belonged to the temperate command of Yingzhou Town and rushed back to Yingzhou Island by boat.

On the ship back to Yingzhou Island, everyone speculated that Mao Weizhang might be transferred, after all, the civil official has been in office for three years, and it is almost time to move the place.

Nowadays, most of the generals and school officials of Yingzhou Town have received their wives, children, children and other relatives and relatives who were originally stranded in Phi Dao, Andong and other places to be resettled on Yingzhou Island.

After coming here, every family has their own manor property, and life is really many times better than when the past was precarious.

And all this, in the final analysis, was accumulated by Mao Weizhang, a civil official of the imperial court who they once looked down on, with these people.

Therefore, whether it is Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde, Bi Denghan and other people who originally belonged to the ranks of imperial court generals and school officials, or Lin Chuanfu, Chen Xiasheng, Luo Shouzhong and others who were subdued in the process of occupying Yingzhou Island, they are very reluctant to leave Mao Weizhang, a civilian supervisor and town guard.

Everyone is worried that after Mao Weizhang leaves, if the imperial court sends another unsuitable civil official over, what can be done if the current good situation of Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion is messed up.

Fortunately, after they arrived, the holy decree was read, and Mao Weizhang was promoted and transferred away as they expected, but the imperial court did not send the civil officials of the court to come here, but let Chen Jisheng, who had been guarding the government and managing the army in Yingzhou Town, serve as the guard of Yingzhou Town on the spot.

At the same time, Kong Youde replaced Chen Jisheng's original role, and Mao Youxing, Bi Denghan, Lin Chuanfu, Chen Xiasheng and others also had their own promotions, which was a happy situation.

At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen asked Mao Weizhang, who was born as a jinshi, to concurrently serve as the envoy of Yingzhou Town, which was also out of distrust of Chen Jisheng and the military attaches of Dongjiang Town.

Among all these people at that time, after all, only Mao Weizhang died of suicide and martyrdom after the city was broken in the original history, which can be regarded as the one that made Emperor Chongzhen completely relieved.

However, after such two or three years, Chen Jisheng, Kong Youde, other young generals from the Dongjiang River, and the pirates who Mao Weizhang appeased on Yingzhou Island have all withstood the test.

Emperor Chongzhen can also rest assured that this place will be temporarily handed over to Chen Jisheng to be in charge.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen wanted people to manage this place with their hearts was that in addition to the strategic position of this place, he also had an idea, that is, one day in the future, he would use this place as a springboard to clean up Japan.

Just as Japan used Tsushima as a springboard for its invasion of Korea, Yingzhou Island would be a base for the Ming Dynasty's navy to advance into Japan.

Although that day is still far away, at least it will not be considered until the newly established Navy Governor's Office, which has truly integrated the naval divisions on the north and south coasts of the Ming Dynasty, but the sooner the preparations, the better.

For example, now, for the existence of the Ming army on Yingzhou Island, the southwestern feudal domains of the Japanese archipelago, hundreds of miles away, are adapting.

Whether it was the Tsushima Domain on Tsushima Island, the Hirado Domain, which annexed Iki Province, the Nagasaki Domain, or the Hizen Domain and Satsuma Domain at the southern tip of the Japanese archipelago, they all changed from being wary and suspicious when they first learned the news to becoming accustomed and ignoring them now.

Even the Tokugawa shogunate, which was far away from Edo Castle on the east coast of Japan, finally adopted a wait-and-see attitude after hearing the news, and gradually became indifferent.

Because these Ming sailors and officers and soldiers on Yingzhou Island have not taken any other actions since they occupied Yingzhou Island.

Although Kong Youde and his sailors stationed on Yingzhou Island robbed the merchant ships and harassed the coast of the Tsushima Domain, he rarely approached Nagasaki, the territory of the Hirado Domain, or the territory of the Hizen and Satsuma domains.

At the same time, both Seogwipo on Yeongju Island and Yeongju Ao opened their ports to merchant ships to and from Nagasaki.

Although Japanese merchant ships are still not allowed to approach the coast of the Ming Dynasty, including the five ports of Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai, and Dengzhou, which have been opened in the Ming Dynasty, they can come to Yingzhou Island to trade.

This was also great news for the daimyo of the feudal lords along the coast of the Japanese archipelago.

The Tokugawa shogunate, far away in Edo, adopted a policy of seclusion and seclusion, not allowing foreign merchant ships to dock at any other place outside the port of Nagasaki.

But for the daimyo of coastal feudal lords such as the Tsushima Domain, Hirado Domain, and Satsuma Domain, which were far from the core area of the Edo Shogunate, trade was their life.

Therefore, almost the same as before the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty, the Tokugawa shogunate above did not allow trade with foreign countries, especially with Catholic countries, but the feudal lords below did not care about this, and did not allow open trade to be done, so they came quietly in private.

Affected by the previous war between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Emperor, although Emperor Chongzhen vigorously promoted the opening of maritime commerce, whether it was the Beijing Division and the Nanjing Household Department, as well as the two Household Divisions supervising the Northern and Southern Envoys, they all adhered to the past tradition and did not allow Japanese merchant ships and merchants to dock.

Even the port of Dengshu, which is relatively close to Japan, does not allow Japanese merchant ships to trade with merchants.

It was only in Seogwipo and Yingzhouao Port, which were the guards of Yingzhou, that boldly lifted the ban on Japanese merchant ships entering the port for trade in order to increase revenue, attract merchant ships to come, and then extract tariffs from ships entering the port.

Merchant ships and merchants from the Japanese archipelago, such as the port of Nagasaki, the Tsushima domain, the Hirado domain, the Hizen domain, and the Satsuma domain, were able to trade with maritime merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty and Korea at these two ports, which was definitely a good thing for the daimyo of these Japanese feudal lords.

Therefore, nearly three years after the establishment of the Yingzhou Zhenshou Mansion, it has finally gradually gained a firm foothold under the secret dissatisfaction of the Korean state, and in the vigilance and suspicion of the western coast and the southern part of Japan hundreds of miles away.

It is precisely because of this that most of the left and right protectors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies after the reorganization are served by feudal officials such as the governor, but Mao Weizhang, who has never been a governor, can serve as the right protector of the Naval Governor's Mansion under the emperor's hand-picking.

However, the left guard army was concurrently served by Liang Tingdong, the governor of Zhili.

Therefore, the Navy Governor's Office, which is now headquartered in Tianjin, is actually really responsible for naval military affairs Zhang Keda and Mao Weizhang.

Let's say that Mao Weizhang called back Chen Jisheng and others, and after taking everyone to receive the holy decree of the imperial court, he handed over the affairs of the Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion with Chen Jisheng, and then took the concubines and servants who had been accepted in the Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion for several years, and left Yingzhou Island with the ships that came to deliver the decree.

Chen Jisheng was ordered to take over the Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion from Mao Weizhang's hands, and in a few days, after arranging the affairs of the Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion, he once again took Kong Youde and several other generals to transport a batch of grain, and went to meet the sailor fleet commanded by Li Xingzhong.

For Chen Jisheng and the generals below Yingzhou Town, everything they have now is obtained from landing and seizing Yingzhou Island to open up territory for the imperial court.

After anyone tastes this sweetness, they will think about continuing to do bigger business and make themselves constantly promoted and rich.

You can't touch the Japanese mainland for the time being, but can't you touch this Tsushima Island yet?!

What's more, Emperor Chongzhen personally made a decree to ask the Tsushima Domain, and he had already suffered a big loss from the Tsushima Domain, and this revenge could not be justified if he did not take revenge!

On August 24, the third year of Chongzhen, as soon as Chen Jisheng, the new envoy of Yingzhou Town, arrived with ammunition and food supplies on Yingzhou Island, he immediately burned the three fires of the new official to the Yanyuan Port of Tsushima Domain again.
