"Okay, OK, OK!"

Emperor Chongzhen, who had read the Tangbao, did not become as angry as the ministers expected, but instead beat Tangbao to the imperial case and shouted three good things in succession. His joy was beyond words. The ministers ranked in the ranks looked at him one after another. In their impression, they had never seen Master Long lived so happy.

"Emperor." Wang Chengen, the eunuch of Bingbi, asked just right, "Is there any good news from Songshan coming back?"

"It's not just a good news? It's not just a good news!" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly unfolded the Tang newspaper and said loudly, "You all look at it, let's take a look. Datong General Wang Pu led more than a thousand iron cavalry to go deep into Liaodong, destroying Jiannu's old nest Shengjing in one fell swoop, and capturing the slave chief Huang Taiji alive. Songshan and Jinzhou siege have been resolved without fighting, and they have been resolved without fighting!"

Emperor Chongzhen's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm pond, and the ministers were upset.

"Datong General Wang Pu led his army to destroy the Jiannu's nest Shengjing?"

"I dare to go deep into Liaodong alone, General Wang is so brave!"

"Who said no, and even captured the slave chief Huang Taiji alive! I, the Ming Dynasty, have never achieved such a brilliant victory since the Liao incident. It's amazing!"

After being excited, Emperor Chongzhen sighed again: "I really want to lead the navy army to Lianyun Island to meet General Wang. Unfortunately, the country's fortune was not good. Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexie these three traitors, which caused our Ming Navy to suffer heavy damage and could no longer cross the sea to attack Liaodong. However, the laws of nature were clear, and these three traitors could not escape the punishment of God in the end. They had been beheaded by Jiannu!"

"Long live the great blessings of the whole world, General Wang will definitely turn bad luck into good luck."

"The Jiannu's energy is about to be over, and the Ming Dynasty's prosperity is a long time. It is really a joy and congratulations."

"Long live, I suggest that you immediately report this good news to the whole world and celebrate the whole country."

It was really not easy for Emperor Chongzhen to be happy once. The ministers in the court took the opportunity this time and flattered him to death. Even the Zuodu Censor Liu Zongzhou, who has always regarded himself as a gentleman, couldn't help but flatter Emperor Chongzhen.

"Hahaha, okay." Emperor Chongzhen Long Yan said happily, "As far as you say, you will report this victory to the world."

Looking back, Emperor Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen, eunuch Bingbi: "Where is Chengen? I ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a banquet. At noon today, I will have a banquet for all the ministers in the Huangji Hall. All the officials above the seventh rank in the capital will attend. Hahaha, I am so happy today. I must stop drunk with all the ministers and workers!"

"Sister obeys the order."

Wang Chengen received the imperial edict and rushed to the imperial kitchen happily.

While the ministers were rushing to circulate the news, Emperor Chongzhen asked Chen Xinjia: "Chen Aiqing, if I remember correctly, Wang Pu should be the general promoted three years ago, or was it recommended by you, right?"

"Long live, it's a good memory. This Wang Pu is indeed recommended by Weichen."

"Okay, if my Ming Dynasty could have more wise ministers like my beloved ministers and recommend more generals like Wang Pu for me, why worry about the immortality of Jiannu and the unstable thieves?"

"Long live the wisdom of this, I really don't dare to take credit for it."

After hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, Chen Xinjia was so happy that he almost fainted. To be honest, it was a helpless move to recommend Wang Pu back then, because when Jiannu entered the pass, every time the towns were defeated, no one was able to win. Only Datong guerrilla Wang Pu climbed out of the dead and brought back a few small braids of Jiannu.

Based on the principle of trying to repay the victory but not defeat, Chen Xinjia seized Wang Pu and made a big fuss, instructed several censors to really advocate in front of Emperor Chongzhen. Wang Pu became a reputation of bravery and good at fighting in this way. When Emperor Chongzhen was happy, he directly promoted him to General Datong.

Chen Xinjia really didn't expect that Wang Pu, who was recommended in desperation, was really a talented person. Today, he received such praise from Emperor Chongzhen in front of his ministers, which really made him very proud.

Emperor Chongzhen asked again: "I remember General Wang seems very young, right?"

Chen Xinjia said: "Long live back, General Wang has twenty-fourths of spring and autumn."

"I'm still twenty-four years old?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but praise, "This is really a hero."

Chen Xinjia casually said: "Long live, General Wang has not married yet."

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen's heart moved and asked, "Mr. Wang is already twenty-four years old, why has the soldiers not married yet?"

Chen Xinjia said: "As far as I know, General Wang originally had a marriage mate, but he was poisoned by the bandits before he even passed. Later, General Wang kept following the army to fight, and the marriage was delayed."

"So that's how it is."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face. Chen Xinjia, who was standing at the stairs, couldn't help but feel the thought of long live...

■■■

When Emperor Chongzhen was having a banquet for his ministers in the Huangji Hall, the servants led by Wang Pu were having fun in North Korea.

Since Jiannu gave up the pursuit, Wang Pu and his subordinates no longer had to run. They walked for less than 400 miles from Ping'an Road to Huanghai Road and then to Gyeonggi Road for five days, and they only marched eighty miles per day on average. This was really unreasonable for a light cavalry without any burden.

Due to Wang Pu's indulgence, the behavior of his servants became more and more unscrupulous. From the initial force of eating, robbing, and sleeping, gradually evolved into burning, killing, and robbing. People are all animalistic. Once this animalistic nature loses its constraints, it will immediately flood like a flood that breaks the dike.

Wang Pu turned a blind eye to his subordinates' behavior at the beginning. Later, he couldn't control it even if he wanted to. In fact, Wang Pu just didn't want to care. He had never felt good about Goryeo Bangzi. In Wang Pu's opinion, Goryeo Bangzi was either ungrateful or liked to fantasize and rob the Chinese cultural heritage.

This time, I have to take the opportunity and I have to clean up the Goryeo stick. The good show is still coming.

While Wang Pu was squinting his eyes on the back of the horse, Scarface urged the horse to come back and said excitedly: "General, are you not far ahead to Hanyang?"

"I'm going to Hanyang ahead?"

Wang Pu immediately felt excited when he heard this. Hanyang was actually Seoul, the capital of the Kingdom of Korea. If Wang Pu and his more than 800 servants under him wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty by sea, they had to borrow the warships of the Korean Navy. To borrow the warships of the Korean Navy, they had to obtain the permission of the King of Korea.

A servant next to Wang Pu suddenly asked, "I wonder if the King of North Korea will open the city gate and let us enter the city?"

Scarface rolled up his sleeves and said viciously: "Oh, if the King of North Korea dares not open the city gate, then we will go into the city."

Wang Pu asked Zhen Youcai, "Youcai, what do you think?"

Zhen Youcai said: "The villain thinks it is easy to borrow a warship, but it is difficult to enter Hanyang."

Wang Pu nodded and said, "Well, it's best to borrow a ship without force. However, it's not easy to come to Hanyang, so you have to get some benefits."

Zhen Youcai said: "The general means..."

Wang Pu thought for a while and said, "Talented, you took Scarface and twenty brothers to Hanyang to meet the King of Korea. When you meet the King of Korea, you said that the Eight Banners Army needed a lot of money to fight against the Ming army. We just came to ask for money from Korea on the order of Huang Taiji. The amount... is only five million taels of silver."

Zhen Youcai was surprised and whispered: "General, is five million taels too much? You should know that the Korean royal family has been plundered twice by Jiannu."

"If Jiannu has not come to plunder, I will have to 20 million taels!" Wang Pu sneered, "In this way, if the King of Korea really can't produce so much cash silver, then use gold, Korean ginseng and other jewelry to pay for it. If they dare not give it, then wait for the Eight Banners army to razor the entire North Korea to the ground."

"Okay, the villain understands."

Zhen Youcai understood it and went straight to Hanyang surrounded by Scarface and twenty servants.

■■■

Hanyang, the Joseon Palace.

King Lee Nai of Korea summoned ministers to discuss matters. As early as the third day after the "Qing Army" entered North Korea's borders, Lee Nai had already received news.

Although there were less than a thousand "Qing Army" entering the country, and they burned, killed and robbed unscrupulously along the way, the North Korean side never dared to act rashly. The reason was very simple. North Korea was already afraid of being beaten by the Qing army. When the Qing army invaded North Korea for the second time, the Qing Dynasty defeated the 50,000 North Korean army with only two thousand iron cavalry.

The powerful combat effectiveness of the Qing army has made the Koreans still feel scared. He heard that the Qing army was coming, and no general in the court dared to summon the army to fight.

In the hall, the head of the government affairs (equivalent to the chief cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty) said worriedly: "King, I just got the news that the Qing army looted Longnanli last night."

"These damn Jiannu!" Li Jue cursed hatefully, "I should really send troops to destroy them."

"You must not." The leader shook his hands repeatedly, "If we summon troops from all walks of life, it may be possible to destroy this Qing army, but doing so will definitely cause revenge from the Qing Dynasty. Once the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty arrived, our North Korea would be destroyed."

"Oh." Li Wu sighed, "What do you think you should do?"

Zuo Yizheng said: "King, if the Qing army just grabs something and kills some people, it's no big deal. I'm afraid they have other purposes here."

Li asked, "What purpose can it be?"

Zuo Zheng said: "I heard that the Qing army was fighting fiercely with the Ming army in Songshan. Since it was a decisive battle, it would definitely require a lot of food, supplies and military pay. This time the Qing Dynasty sent a condemnation army to come here, maybe it would be coming to ask for military pay."

"King." As soon as the left speech was finished, a guard hurried into the hall and knelt down and reported, "The envoys of the Qing Dynasty were asking for a visit outside the city."

Li Jue was angry and said sternly: "I won't see you."

"King." The leader of the government advised urgently and dissuaded, "King must not act irresponsible."

"Yes, since the Qing Dynasty sent an envoy, it should still be received."

"You must not bring disaster to the North Korean country because you do not receive the envoy."

The ministers in the hall agreed.
