Beiyang new warlord

He was yelling at him the day before yesterday, but nothing could stop Yinzi's attack. This time, Mao Jue's boat couldn't fit, so he only took some valuables away, leaving the goods looted from Nagasaki City. More than 20 shimi, more than 5 boxes of sugar, more than 20 bolts of linen, etc. had to be thrown to him. After watching the fun, Li Shanhai even got 30 taels of spoils for nothing. , worth no less than [-] million taels, which is more than the tax paid by Li Dynasty in two years.

Jin Zidian sent 5 taels of silver and more than 2 pieces of cloth, and some gentry families of the Great Northern Party sent several thousand shimi, and some bits and pieces were divided up. The profit is too rich! The [-]% profit is enough to make people take risks and forget the potential dangers involved. When the money is delivered, the one-sided reviews are forced to be moved here, and the Korean nobles also start to sing praises for him. .

It was an unprecedented honor. Injo Injo of the Joseon Dynasty personally summoned him in the Sizheng Hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Hundreds of central government officials were present, regardless of whether they were upper or lower officials. Under their complex eyes of envy and admiration, Li Shanhai strode forward with his head held high. Boots walked into the Ideological and Political Hall, until ten meters in front of Renzu in front of the hall, then stretched his hands in front of his forehead, and bowed down with all his body cast down.

"Sir Li Shanhai, pay homage to my king, your noble body, Sheng'an!"

"very good!"

The finances of the Li Dynasty have always been on the cutting edge. One end has to pay tribute to Daming to support Dongjiang, and the other end has to pay annual tribute to Hou Jin. Even as a king, life is still tight and he wants to build a palace. No money to fix it.This time, Li Shanhai also donated 10 taels of silver to the royal family, nearly 10 taels of property. No wonder King Injo was unhappy.

It seemed that the voice was more confident than before. After nodding his head twice, the handsome Renzu even stood up, waving his sleeves and praising loudly.

"The armored soldiers restored the glory of our old land, built boats to plow the courtyard and sweep holes, and wiped out Japanese plagues beyond the sea. Li Gong's merits will last forever in the society. I am very happy. If this merit is not rewarded, it will not be enough to secure the society. The hearts of the common people, the widows It was decided to confer Li Shanhai as the Lord of the Quanquan Mansion, Jin "

According to the etiquette system, the promotion of this kind of minister should be proposed by the Ui government, announced in the court, and then approved by the king of North Korea, but this promotion was actually proposed by Injo himself, which shows how much money Li Shanhai scraped back this time. Popularity, like Julius Caesar in the Roman Republic, who entertained the Senate with the spoils of Gaul.

But even Caesar himself has political enemies, not to mention Li Shanhai. Before Renzu finished speaking, Cui Mingji, the judge of Hucao, knelt out again with a dead face like his parents.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's wrong!"

It's really a portrait of serving the country and the people, the gray beard trembles, the old guy's forehead hits the floor with a bang, and he almost catches up with the weeping blood cuckoo.

"Li Shanhai is good at finding frontier quarrels. He didn't have the king's order to send troops to the Japanese country. His wolf ambition is a crime that cannot be punished. Once he provokes a group of Japanese species to cross the sea to attack, the disaster of the country is imminent!"

"Have you forgotten the Imjin Japanese Rebellion?"

They all jumped up suddenly, pointing at Li Shanhai's nose, the old guy shouted furiously like killing his father and enemy with red eyes.

"The old minister has the courage to cut this beast immediately and pass it on to the Japanese country. The disaster from the east has been resolved!"

Cui Mingji was almost moved by his eyes and voice, but there were not many people who responded to him, and none of them responded to him. These reasons had already been uttered before Li Shanhai returned to court. Yes, everyone knows this well, but this time, more than 100 million taels of money and goods came into the account!Who is not excited?

And right and wrong are not the only criteria in the court, but the interests of the party. Now the leader of the Xiren Party, Jin Zidian, has not spoken, and the Xiren Party members have also stood still. He is an old guy who has to put all his eggs in one basket. that's it.

Before Cui Mingji finished speaking, Liu Chenglong, who was also a member of the Nanren Party, stood up in a gloomy manner, took two steps, and knelt down with his head bowed and his buttocks facing the sky.

"Your Majesty! This time, there are not only Li Shanhai, Duke Li, but also Deputy General Mao of Daming Dongjiang Town in this crusade against the Japanese pirates. According to Master Cui, I have to cut off General Mao's head and send it to the Japanese pirates to beg for their forgiveness." I beat the robber who broke into the house!"

These words made Cui Mingji froze there. No matter how hard Li Shanhai was hit, Daming would not be able to get around it anyway. Emperor Wanli was equivalent to Li's North Korean father. If the Ming army hadn't entered the dynasty, the Li Dynasty would have become history long ago. Dust, the younger brother of Lee's Joseon Dynasty is definitely considered interesting these days. The Ming Dynasty has perished for more than 200 years, and the Li Dynasty still uses the reign name of Chongzhen. Cut it off first and send it to Dongjiang Town to play as a ball.

He can only lead the topic to the war.

"Your Majesty, once this incident triggers a full-scale war between our dynasty and the Japanese kingdom, disasters will happen that year!" Shaking his hands sadly, Cui Mingji shouted at Li Chaomanchao with a desolate face.

This is also an unavoidable problem. The money is easy to get, but what should the owner do if he catches up with a machete.

Under Renzu's worried eyes, Li Shanhai, who had always been the eye of the storm, finally spoke, knelt up straight, and the old guy clenched his fists heavily.

"Your Majesty, this time we dispatched troops to wipe out the Japanese pirates and killed the black hands who supported the Japanese pirates. General Mao of Dongjiang Town in Ming Dynasty contributed a lot. , the area around Tsushima is assigned to the Dongjiang defense zone, and then the imperial navy assists in the defense, it will be foolproof!"

"Your Majesty, when the Japanese pirates attacked our court, it was Fengchen's bandits who took advantage of our unpreparedness and seized these two islands as a springboard. Later, our court's famous general Yi Sun-sin entered the battle and defeated the Japanese navy. As long as these two islands are here, there is no way for the Japanese warships to invade our Li dynasty, please learn from me!"

These words not only filled the court with silence, but even Li Shanhai himself felt a thump in his heart. This was a request made by Mao Jue when he divided up his spoils. He knew exactly how fierce and bold this little general Mao was. He doesn't care, but God knows what catastrophe Mao Jue will cause him after he gets these two places.

However, as Mao Jue said, they are two grasshoppers on the same rope, and he can't get off after getting on the pirate ship, so he can only bite the bullet and push up at the moment.

After a moment of silence, another heavyweight voice rang out, slowly walked out of the seat, knelt down on the hall, and led Yizheng Jin Zidian to prostrate slowly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister agrees! Every year, my Li Dynasty spends 20 shi in Dongjiang Town. Since Dongjiang eats my salary, it is also a good thing for Mao Wenlong to guard a few more places and reduce our burden!"

Jin Zidian knew how capable Mao Jue was, and for him, an extremely human minister, the best result would be to let the officials step down comfortably without asking for any credit or making any trouble. Tsushima and Jeju are both facing the frontier of Japan, and Mao Jue is willing to take it, and he has no reason not to agree.

With this big boss coming forward, the disciples and grandchildren of the Western People's Party will naturally stop singing the same tune. As for Li Shanhai himself, he is one of the leaders of the Southern People's Party, and it is impossible for a member of the Central and Southern People's Party to slap himself. Kneeling and kowtowing, under such circumstances, King Injo of the Li Dynasty naturally followed suit, clapping his hands and laughing.

"In this case, according to the ministers, this king wrote a letter to the Ming emperor, asking Dongjiang to help defend Tsushima and Jeju. In addition, Li Shanhai, the judge of the Ministry of War, has the merits of restoring the land and suppressing the bandits. !"

"Your Majesty, Shengming!"

The voices of neat praise came from the Sizheng Hall of Jingfu Palace. Amidst the self-righteous fawning, the control of the two extremely important strongholds in Beihai is so muddled.

It's just that General Mao, who completed this feat, was not in a good state when he received the news.

"Father, stop hitting! Spare me!!!"

A scream echoed over the Phi Island Governor's Mansion, and the shrill scream scared the servant girls to tremble

Chapter 155. Dongjiang, power

Also carrying a large sum of spoils, Li Shanhai was cheered by the whole city, summoned by the King of Gyeongbokgung Palace, promoted and made a fortune, to Mao Jue?A meal of whip fried meat!

This one carried boxes and gold from the boat, and Mao Jue was carried by Mao Wen's dragoons to the Dudu's Mansion, and was beaten from the front hall to the back garden. .

"Father, don't we have something to say? Are you so old? Beat me to death, and our Mao family will be extinct!"

He can be beaten anywhere, but his face can't, if he has a potato shredded face, how can he lead the group of arrogant soldiers, and he can't be laughed to death by wicked ghosts like Pang Dahai.Hiding his head under his armpit, with his buttocks on his back, Mao Jue yelled with all his might and hissed with grief.

However, Mao Wenlong was so angry that his old face was completely distorted, and the cane whip whipped like raindrops on Mao Jue's body. Hearing this, the old guy became even more angry, roaring furiously.

"It's better to kill you, an unfilial son! Kill your father and adopt another one in the same clan, so that you, a bastard, will not drag the Mao family down sooner or later and implicate the nine clans! What's wrong, go to provoke the Japanese country! You are so capable, why don't you go to heaven? ?”

While talking, Mao Jue's savior came and trotted away. Liu Xingzuo, one of Dongjiang's generals, trotted in excitedly, and waved his hands while running.

"Mao Shuai, let me ask at the port, should the rice be moved to the Jiazi library or the Yizi?"

"Shuai Mao! Where are you, the backyard? I will go to the backyard to look for it later!"

This guy still had good eyesight, but he opened his eyes and talked nonsense like a blind man, and ran to the back garden.Mao Jue had to save face in front of outsiders. Seeing this scene, it was wrong to hold the whip, or not to lift it. Annoyed, Mao Wenlong smashed the bamboo whip against the wall viciously.

"You son of a bitch! Make me more trouble! Let me die of anger sooner!"

"That, Dad"

Mao Wen was so angry that he wanted to go back to his small flower hall to drink a cup of tea to calm the fire, but at this moment, he managed to pull his head out from under his armpit, and Mao Jue suddenly put on a fist with a playful smile on his face, which made him very angry shook his head.

"If you fart, let it go!"

"Well, the boy and Li Chao led the discussion of Jin Zidian, and the soldier Cao sentenced Li Shanhai, the better. Jeju Island and Tsushima Island are included in our Dongjiang defense zone, but the boy is short of troops, so I don't know if dad can show mercy. , let go of 3 or [-] horses"

Rubbing his fingers, Mao Jue looked like a profiteer. Looking at his smirk, the corner of Mao Wenlong's mouth twitched violently to the right unconsciously.

At dusk, Phi Island becomes golden, but compared with a few years ago, it is much more desolate. The merchants from the south and the north who used to stop here are now just here for a while, and then go further north. Today's Uiju Bian City has replaced Pidao Bian City, not only merchants, but also groups of unkempt Liaodong refugees have disappeared, leaving only a few poor men who are too lazy to be cured. Huddled in the Town God's Temple to catch lice.

These people also went north by boat. Although the standard of living in Mao Jue's defense zone may not be the best, there are always endless opportunities. , It’s better than living here to eat and wait to die. Unknowingly, the center of Dongjiang has shifted to the north.

Many Dongjiang generals hated Mao Jue so much that they had no choice but to itch, and more of them showed envy. After all, a dispensable military town that would be abandoned at any time in front of the enemy could develop to Today's scale and means are also admirable, not to mention the most convincing in the army is strength. Now except for Mao Wenlong, the leader of Dongjiang Town, this little handsome Mao's wrist is the most admirable. No one can pat his chest Guaranteed, under the heavy siege of Jiannu, he can fight a bloody way, and at the same time rescue Zu Dashou, and break the siege of Daling River.
