Upon receiving Zhou Zheng's order, He Kegang from Dongjiang Town and Huanglong from Lushun led their troops out of their garrison and moved extensively on the Liaodong Peninsula.
Even a 500-member team of Huanglong appeared dozens of miles away in Shenyang, seeming to be approaching Shenyang, making Shenyang panic.
Phoenix is very close to Shenyang. In the later central part of Liaoning, the Ming army has not arrived here for many years.
He Kegang stood at the head of the small city and looked at the direction of Shenyang, wondering when he could lead his army into Shenyang.
Two lieutenants came next to him, one of them mumbled: "My lord, it's really poor here. Apart from game, there are no people, let alone other things."
Another said: "My lord, Jianlu basically occupies places like Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Fushun. They don't farm any land. If we clean up in this way, we won't get any benefits at all..."
The first time that Jianlu entered the congestion was forcibly prevented by Zhou Zheng, and he did not get enough population. In these years of losing streak, there were not many bright generals who surrendered to Jianluo, and the population was sparse. In addition, some of the methods used in the Nurhachi era. There are already very few Han people in the north, and even fewer people can farm.
He Kegang wiped his face. The cold northeast wind made him very uncomfortable. He said, "Tell the soldiers that everything that can be robbed will be robbed, and what can't be robbed will be destroyed! Let them be careful and try to get as close as possible to Shenyang and Liaoyang. , Fight as you can, go around and retreat if you can’t fight. This time we are here to explore the way for Pingliao in the future, and we don’t have to worry about that much."
"Yes!" The two lieutenants raised their hands together.
Huanglong on the other side, coming out of the peninsula, is also constantly exploring the north.
But Jianlu was really too poor and huddled in a few cities. Huanglong wanted to build a'firm wall and clear country', but he had little gain. He could only continue to the north and make a threat to Shenyang.
He Kegang and Huang Long didn't lead many troops, and they didn't really attack Shenyang. They couldn't figure out whether there were Tibetan soldiers in Shenyang, so they could only proceed cautiously.
In the face of Dongjiang Town’s actions, Jianli showed unprecedented restraint. If it were the past, Shenyang would have deployed troops and horses to encircle and suppress the Ming army.
Fan Wenchen left Huangtaiji Daying as promised, crossed the Daling River and entered Jinzhou.
Zhou Zheng and Fang Yizao met him. Zhou Zheng was still normal, and Fang Yizao's eyes were extremely bad when he saw him.
This man was a great help to Jianli, and he did a lot of damage to the Ming Dynasty. He was a traitor through and through.
Fan Wenchen didn't notice anything, stood right in front of Zhou Zheng, raised his hand with a smile, and said, "Master Zhou, have you been alone for more than ten years, how are you doing these days?"
Zhou Zheng had been to Jianlu in the sixth year of Tianqi, and he met this Fan Wenchen once in Shenyang.
Fang Yizao knew, and snorted coldly, and said, "What is the thief chief sending you to? What conspiracy is there? If you don't tell you how ugly you are, don't want to go back!"
Fan Wenchen showed no fear, glanced at Fang Yizao, then turned to Zhou Zheng, and said, "Master Zhou will not keep me, right?"
Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "I don't have much food in Jinzhou, so I can't waste it."
Fang Yizao frowned and said nothing.
The more smiles on Fan Wenchen’s face, as soon as he was about to speak, Zhou Zheng said indifferently: "I will kill it directly and throw it into the sea to feed the fish."
The smile on Fan Wenchen's face suddenly stiffened, and Fang Yizao laughed.
Fan Wenchen instantly reduced his expression and said with a smile: "I believe Lord Zhou would not do this. In order to express my emperor's sincerity that he does not want to see military disasters, my emperor asked me to bring me 20 antiques, porcelain six, calligraphy and painting. Five each, one for each of the incense burner, pen holder, inkstone, and Buddhist altar. There are also pearl agate, gold and jade, etc. I would like Master Zhou to smile."
Fang Yizao's expression changed slightly, turning his head to look at Zhou Zheng, winking constantly.
He asked Zhou Zheng to refuse. If he accepts this thing, he won't be able to tell when he arrives at the court. The supervisor will drown Zhou Zheng with spit!
Zhou Zheng didn't seem to see Fang Yizao's expression. He took the teacup brought by the soldiers and blew gently, and said, "How does Huang Taiji's servant avoid military disaster?"
Hearing Zhou Zheng's disrespect to Huang Taiji, Fan Wenchen frowned, and immediately said with a smile: "Master Zhou, my emperor asks the emperor to convey to your emperor that our country is willing to be friendly with your country forever. Without war, there will be no military disaster in Liaodong. "
Fang Yizao's face was cold, and his face was disdainful.
Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "These things you said belonged to me, Da Ming, who were robbed by your master. They didn't want to return them, but they were used to bribe the officials? This is not sincerity. This way. Well, you retreat to the north of Daxinganling. My army will regain Shenyang. I can start the emperor and give you some fishing and hunting places to settle down. From now on, you will hunt down honestly and stop thinking about rebellion. There will be no military disaster. ."
Fan Wenchen looked at Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, I am very sincere, please think twice. If the two countries continue to fight, it will not do any good to both parties, I believe that the royal court does not want to fight."
Fang Yizao suddenly looked ugly when listening to Fan Wenchen's words.
It is true that the Ming court will not make peace with Jianluo, but it does not want to fight with Jianluo. The voice of retreating to Shanhaiguan has never been cut off.
Zhou Zheng just took his time and said: "If you just talk about such nonsense, this official thinks, you should think about where the official will throw you into the sea so that it will not defile the ancestral halls of nearby people."
Seeing that Zhou Zheng had no intention of negotiating, Fan Wenchen glanced at Fang Yizao and said with a smile: "I want to talk to Master Zhou alone."
Fang Yizao resolutely refused, saying: "There is nothing to say to people. If you have any words, just say it here!"
Zhou Zheng looked at Fan Wenchen and turned to Fang Yizao: "Governor Fang, you avoid it. Come here, move a stool for Mr. Fan."
Fang Yizao said anxiously: "My lord, you must be very cunning, be careful of their divorce!"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I know it in my heart, don't worry."
Seeing Zhou Zheng's insistence, Fang Yizao was a little worried. He stood up and stared at Fan Wenchen fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "If you dare to mess around, the officer must kill you!"
Fan Wenchen didn't care about the threat from Yizao, and he still looked calm and relaxed.
Fang Yizao left, Fan Wenchen sat down and looked at Zhou Zheng's more mature appearance than more than ten years ago. He said with emotion: "I haven't seen him for more than ten years. It’s an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, and time flies..."
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup again and said with a smile: "What I just said was not a lie. If you don't say something that interests me, you must choose a suitable sea burial place."
Fan Wenchen said with emotion on his face, saying: "The adults are now based in Liaodong, Tianjin Wei, and Shandong, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The Zhou Chamber of Commerce is rich in the world and has millions of assets. There is no adult in Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. Such a powerful person..."
Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said motionlessly: "Go on." (End of this chapter)
