Under the leadership of Fu Yan, after Chen Xin inspected the entire construction site, he returned to the former Ming Army Deputy General's Mansion in Lushun Nancheng.

This deputy general's mansion can be said to be the only building in the entire Lushun that can be eye-catching, so it has been occupied by the Liaodong Regional Military Management Committee and the Lushun Dispatch Army Headquarters as a temporary office location.

After Chen Xin arrived, he naturally lived here, after all, centralized office can save a large number of security personnel, which is safe and convenient, why not do it.

As soon as Chen Xin returned to the house, someone from the secretariat came over.

Chen Xin's auxiliary personnel are divided into three types, one of which is the adjutants selected from various professional departments of the military, who are responsible for helping Chen Xin solve military work and dealing with Chen Xin's consultation on some relevant professional data.

The second is the full-time service staff, represented by the attendants, maids, and housekeepers in the palace, who basically deal with the affairs of Chen Xin's life and serve Chen Xin's personal service.

The third is the group of secretaries.

Chen Xin set up a secretariat that was accountable only to him to assist him in handling political and public affairs inside and outside the kingdom. and convey his personal opinion to the outside world.

Outside, these secretaries, many times, are Chen Xin's representatives,

Of course, this representative did not mean that the secretaries could have an opinion on the affairs of the kingdom, which was impossible, and the rules set by Chen Xin did not allow such a thing to happen.

The representative here means that they are just a group of people who are responsible for supervising the execution of the orders given by Chen Xin.

Although it only has the function of supervision and communication, in the course of work, as Chen Xin slowly delegated power to the cabinet and other administrative departments, the burden and importance of the secretariat have become heavier and heavier.

As soon as the secretary saw Chen Xin, he reported: "Your Majesty, good news, our action of coercion and inducement to the remnants of the former Dongjiang Town in the surrounding area has worked.

Just a few days ago, the head of a Dongjiang town soldier couldn't hold his breath and sent someone to Lushun, who made it clear that he wanted to take refuge in the kingdom and fight the Tartars together. ”

"Oh? It's only been a long time. Chen Xin was a little stunned, but it was only for a moment, and then he immediately returned to normal, and continued to ask, "Which general in Dongjiang Town is it?" Why are you so breathless? ”

"Qiyu Junshang, is the son of Mao Zhennan, the former Dongjiang Town, the Zuo Governor of the Five Armies, and the Pingliao Chief Military Officer, Mao Chengzuo."

Chen Xin had just come back from outside, he had been running for several days, he was a little tired, and he hadn't come to his senses yet, and he was a little stunned when he heard such a long list of names at first glance.

Subconsciously asked, "Who?" Which one is Mao Zhennan? ”

"Uh" The secretary was a little embarrassed, and moved his steps uneasily and explained, "It's the subordinates who didn't express it clearly, it's Mao Wenlong, his word Zhennan, and the subordinates just called him to show respect for the deceased." ”

“······” Chen Xin pretended to be casual and took the tea from the attendant's hand and drank it, relieving the awkward atmosphere.

Chen Xin sat down, put down the teacup, and after thinking for a while, he remembered which one Mao Chengzuo was.

When he remembered this name, he couldn't help but smile, this son of Mao Wenlong is really a tragedy.

After Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong without authorization, he directly took the military power of Dongjiang Town and inspected the soldiers and horses.

After verifying the number of soldiers and horses, Yuan Chonghuan divided the entire Dongjiang Town into four associations, which were respectively led by the deputy general Chen Jisheng, the staff generals Liu Xingzhi and Xu Fuzuo, and Mao Wenlong's son Mao Chengzuo.

This step not only divided the strength of Dongjiang Town, but also stabilized those people with turbulent minds with Mao Chengzuo, the orthodox heir of Mao Wenlong.

Then, Mao Chengzuo's role ended here.

In the following period of time, Yuan Chonghuan continued to use his means to make Dongjiang Town restless, and after endless internal strife, he directly integrated the entire Dongjiang Town again.

This time, Yuan Chonghuan divided Dongjiang Town into two associations, East and West, and appointed Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzhi as commanders respectively.

The heir of the dignified Mao Wenlong was seized of power and status by two outsiders, which can be said to be a tragedy.

After Chen Xin searched for Mao Chengzuo's name a little, there are only so many relevant memories, no way, Mao Chengzuo really didn't leave too much ink in the history books.

In other words, even if the pen and ink are left, it is not an important thing, and it does not leave a deep impression in the minds of people with an ordinary level of education like Chen Xin.

"What about the people sent by Mao Chengzuo?"

The secretary immediately reported, "The king went out to inspect and couldn't come back in a short time, so his subordinates were in charge, and he was cold for a few days without worrying about the supply of food and drink."

Then, he arranged for the military to let him see several scenes of our army's reconnaissance unit handing over the spoils after returning from Desheng. ”

Chen Xin nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the secretariat is doing a pretty good job, so it should be."

Let them see the power in the hands of our army, so that they can see their own level clearly and better participate in the negotiations.

However, I pondered, this Mao Chengzuo said that he was ready to take refuge in us, but in fact, he may not be telling the truth.

I guessed that he was originally a member of the Ming official army, and whether he would secretly send people to several military towns in Dengzhou and Liaodong.

Even, perhaps, he may still have connections with several former Dongjiang Town officers who surrendered to the Houjin side.

I have never overestimated this kind of warlord discipline, and it has been proven many times in history that warlords are a group of untrustworthy people who will follow whoever pays a high price. ”

"What the king said, his subordinates have also discussed, and everyone thinks that this possibility is extremely great. Therefore, his subordinates made the decision and hung him directly for a few days.

However, Mao Chengzuo is now stationed on the islands in the Liaodong Sea, and the islands he is stationed on, and the Houjin soldiers and civilians on the opposite side have long since escaped.

The Houjin army in Fuzhou was blocked by mountains and rivers again, and our army is now in the Jinzhou area, leaving behind a sea force, and warships patrol near the sea off Jinzhou every day.

Mao Chengzuo, it is not easy to take refuge in the Houjin Army.

The most important thing is that, according to the analysis of the intelligence analysts we invited from China, Mao Chengzuo, as the son of Mao Wenlong, has always regarded himself as the orthodox heir of Dongjiang Town.

Therefore, in this negotiation, he may be preparing to make a choice between our army and the Daming Denglai Zhenbing and Guanning troops.

Among them, because their previous smuggling operations were basically in the direction of Shandong, the opportunity for Denglai Zhenbing was the greatest.

Secondly, it is our army, which has won many battles and has established a mighty image among the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty.

Next, it was the Guan Ning Army that had been run by Yuan Chonghuan, who killed his father, for more than ten years.

At the very least, when he is desperate, he will consider the post-gold aspect. ”
