As early as July, when Huang Taiji submitted a letter to Jinzhou City in Liaodong Town to negotiate peace, Emperor Chongzhen knew that Huang Taiji had no good intentions, and he was afraid that he wanted to paralyze Lu Shanji with peace as in history, and wanted to eradicate the threat of Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang Town under his command through Liaodong Town or the hands of the Ming monarchs.

Therefore, on the one hand, Emperor Chongzhen sent his minister Zheng Zhihui to Jinzhou to deceive each other with Dege, Dahai and others who were in charge of peace talks.

On the other hand, he decisively sent Chu Xianzhang to meet Mao Wenlong, Marquis of Anton, in the name of transporting grain and grass, with the secret decree of Emperor Chongzhen, to meet Mao Wenlong, Marquis of Anton, again.

Chu Xianzhang traveled back and forth to Tianjin, Dengzhou and Phi Dao, so he was also familiar with the journey, and crossed the sea to Phi Dao by boat in early August, carrying the third quarter of money and food and equipment prepared for Dongjiang Town.

Regarding the arrival of the eunuch Chu Xianzhang, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the head of the military attache of the imperial chamberlain, Anton Hou Mao Wenlong and others knew that something big would happen, so they naturally did not dare to slack off.

The last time Chu Xianzhang arrived, he brought Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang Town the emperor's information that the Jianyu army was about to attack Dongjiang Town, so that Mao Wenlong and the generals of Dongjiang Town were prepared in advance, and they were successfully trapped.

As a result, he not only killed one of the sons of the old slave and the banner owner of the Jianyu Red Banner, Bel Azig, but also incidentally made the commander of the unified army who came to attack Dongjiang Town, the second Beile banner owner of the Jin State after Jianyu, the banner owner of the Blue Banner, miserable.

Although there was not much loss in the blue flag, Erbel Amin himself was dismissed by the slave chief Huang Taiji and imprisoned by the high wall.

After the establishment of the captivity, after the situation of Jin Guozhong was inquired about by Mao Wenlong and others, everyone was very happy.

Dongjiang Town has been promoted and made rich, and the enemies who came to attack him have all fallen into bad luck, is there anything more satisfying in the world?

And the reason why all this has been achieved, in the final analysis, there is a very important factor that cannot be ignored, that is, Emperor Chongzhen's trust and support for him Mao Wenlong and his Dongjiang Town.

Today's Emperor Chongzhen sent the superintendent of the imperial history to Dongjiang Town, set up the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, and secretly there must be an underground intelligence station in Dongchang, these actions certainly made him feel uneasy and disliked.

But at the same time, the imperial court changed its attitude towards Dongjiang Town in the past, whether it was military salary, food, or knightly rewards, none of them lacked him in Dongjiang Town.

Not only is it a priority supply every time, but it is also a full supply every time, and the food and ordnance that has been plucked and deducted by the Jiliao Governor's Mansion and the Denglai Governor Yamen in the past have never been deducted again.

Because, every time these money, grains, and ordnance were personally sent by the emperor to receive them from the governor of the household warehouse, they were directly escorted by the emperor's trusted ministers, and they did not go through the hands of others at all.

What makes Mao Wenlong feel that this emperor is unusual today is that since His Majesty the current emperor ascended the throne, it is said that every time someone escorts the money on Phi Dao, it comes from the emperor's internal money!

Emperor Chongzhen's attention to the soldiers of Dongjiang Town can be seen from this.

And now the attitude of Emperor Chongzhen towards North Korea also makes Mao Wenlong very satisfied.

Although the envoys sent by the Ming Emperor reached a treaty with the Korean lord to assign the two lands in the north of Korea to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor did not send any officials here, but relieved himself to hand over all these lands and cities to Dongjiang Town to manage

Even the generals and officers sent to the cities and cities of these two places are all decided by Mao Wenlong, the Marquis of Anton, and they only need to report to the Governor's Office and the Military Department of the Five Armies.

What kind of trust and grace is this?

Therefore, Mao Wenlong was very satisfied with the results of last year's battle with Jianlu, as well as the various measures taken by the imperial court since then.

This time, after a year, His Majesty the Emperor once again sent his henchman and eunuch Chu Xianzhang over, and it was by no means as simple as escorting grain, grass and equipment!

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Xianxian arrived in Dongjiang Town, he was in the mansion of the Marquis of Anton on Phi Island, dismissed the others, and conveyed the emperor's secret decree and edict to Mao Wenlong.

Emperor Chongzhen's secret decree and oracle once again shocked Mao Wenlong, the commander of Dongjiang Town, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had experienced a hundred battles.

Not only was Emperor Chongzhen shocked him by the news that the army was about to make a detour south to attack the Ming Jingshi in his secret decree, but also the way to deal with it proposed by Emperor Chongzhen also shocked him.

How did a young genius who was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman know so many things that even he, Mao Wenlong, who had been in Dongjiang for a long time, did not know?

When Mao Wenlong was suspicious and suspicious, and summoned all the Wulu generals under Dongjiang Town and Mao Weizhang, the superintendent of Yingzhou Island, to Phi Island for discussion, Chu Xianzhang showed the proposal and letter written by Huang Taiji to Lu Shanji, the governor of Liaodong, in front of these generals of Dongjiang Town.

When Mao Wenlong and Liu Xingzuo read the letter written by Huang Taiji to Lu Shanji, especially the conditions put forward in it, their faces were gloomy and they were silent for a long time, but the anger in their hearts was difficult to hide.

What can't be done on the battlefield, Huang Taiji actually hopes to achieve it through such a way.

This kind of behavior really makes these people feel both incredible and angry.

Liu Xingzuo did not doubt the authenticity of the letter written by Huang Taiji to Lu Shanji brought by Chu Xianxian.

Because he has been in the Jin Kingdom for many years, as one of the many foreheads of the wild boar skin family, and also as the general military officer of Fuzhou in the Jin Kingdom after the Jianqing, people at his level still know very well about Huang Taiji's various intrigues and tricks that cannot be seen on the stage.

As for the party of Anton Hou Mao Wenlong, not to mention the surrender letters and separation letters on the side of the Jin State after the capture of the country a few years ago.

And today's Anton Marquis Mao Wenlong has also won some space for himself to gain a foothold in North Korea through various tactics for the survival of Dongjiang Town in history, and even once killed the minister sent by Jianyu to negotiate peace.

And Huang Taiji wants his head and wants to disintegrate Dongjiang Town, and it's not a day or two.

However, he still felt a deep sense of surprise and resentment when he witnessed Huang Taiji's letter to Lu Shanji, and when he witnessed Huang Taiji's request in the letter to use his and Liu Xingzuo's heads as a condition for peace negotiations.

If the current emperor or the princes above the court are really moved, can his Mao Wenlong's head still grow on his neck?

Mao Wenlong is very sure that if the emperor nods, there are high-ranking officials and ministers who want their own heads!

However, he also knew that since Emperor Chongzhen wrote Huang Taiji to Lu Shanji, and Lu Shanji forwarded the letter to the Ming court, and let Chu Xianzhang take it to himself, it also means that His Majesty the current emperor has long seen through Huang Taiji's treacherous scheme.

At the beginning of August, after the meeting in the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Donggang Town, Phi Island, that is, the Marquis of Anton, Mao Wenlong, Pyongyang Bo Liu Xingzuo, and his generals soon began to secretly start the operation of rearmament and warfare.

Accompanied by Mao Wenlong, the marshal of Dongjiang Town, and Mao Weizhang, the imperial historian of the supervising army, Chu Xianzhang went to Ganghwa Island, where he met with Yin Fang, the leader of the council, who attended the meeting on behalf of the Korean king Li Liang, and conveyed another edict from the Ming Emperor.

In this edict, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the local officials of the Joseon state, especially the coastal magistrates, to unconditionally cooperate with the navigation of the Daming Donggang Town fleet along its coast, and the fleet sailed around the Korean coastal ports to unconditionally provide food, drinking water, vegetables and other materials, and the Korean sailors should follow the north if they have the ability to obey the dispatch.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen also asked Chu Xianzhang to warn Mao Wenlong and Mao Weizhang that the generals who were responsible for sailing around the expedition with the fleet should buy the supplies provided by the Korean region at the market price, and whether the Korean naval division could send troops or not was up to the Korean lord to decide.

By the time all this was arranged, the time had entered the golden autumn of September, and Mao Wenlong accompanied Chu Xianzhang to return to Phi Island to command and prepare for the war, waiting for the right time to suddenly attack.

Mao Weizhang, the superintendent of Dongjiang Town, returned to Yingzhou Town by boat and deployed a circumnavigation expedition to build a rear.

Because Anton Hou Mao Wenlong didn't even think about it, he pushed this big maritime operation full of unforeseen risks to the sailors of Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion to be responsible for implementation.

Mao Weizhang knew that Mao Wenlong had an opinion about him, and he also knew that sailing in the uncharted waters north of the Korean Peninsula was full of unpredictable risks, but he did not shirk this operation and immediately agreed.

Navigation at sea is risky, but attacking it unprepared is a superior art of war.

In Mao Weizhang's view, he didn't even think that he could send a fleet of sailors to lead a large army through the strait north of Yingzhou Island to the north, and then go west along the northern coast of the Korean Peninsula, and from there he would go straight to Huanglong, let alone Jianyu, they would never have imagined it.

In this way, after Mao Weizhang, the imperial historian of Dongjiang Town and the guard of Yingzhou Town, returned to Yingzhou Island, he immediately summoned Chen Jisheng, the former deputy chief officer of Dongjiang Town and the current deputy commander of the five routes of Dongjiang Town, and Kong Youde, the deputy general of the water division of Dongjiang Town, to convey the will of Emperor Chongzhen, as well as the commander of Mao Wenlong, the marquis of Anton Hou, the commander of the five routes of soldiers and horses in Dongjiang Town.
