Chapter 693 The Maintenance Council and the Loyalty Salvation Army(2/2)
As long as you say it, you will flip the table and completely break your face, but the small court of North Korea obviously does not have the ability to flip the table.
In other words, they could not afford the consequences of overturning the table, so the initiative to overturn the table was not at all on the side of the Korean monarchs and ministers.
In this way, Yin Dooshou came to negotiate angrily, and left even more angrily.
After sending Yin Dooshou out of the official office, Tong Yangzheng breathed a sigh of relief. This diplomatic work is really not something ordinary people can do.
To tell lies to others and tell lies to others, you must not only have a thick skin, but also have a hard heart.
However, after Yin Dooshou responded to King Li, King Li sent an order to the three inspection envoys who followed the army back home, and the governor-general Liu Chenglong.
At least during this period, if you want to maintain the influence of the small imperial court in the country, you can only rely on Liu Chenglong.
When the order was delivered to Liu Chenglong, Liu Chenglong was in Shun'an seeing off Lin Jinglue as he set out to march eastward.
Before Lin Tailai mounted his horse, he thanked him and said: "Thank you for finding a few Koreans who can speak Chinese, otherwise there would not be enough general officers to assign them to each column."
Liu Chenglong took the newly sent king's edict, but without opening it, he humbly said to Lin Jinglue: "Everywhere is my responsibility."
Lin Jinglue pointed to the instruction in Liu Chenglong's hand, "This is an urgent instruction from your king. Why don't you open it in a hurry and read it?"
Liu Chenglong cautiously replied: "After seeing off Mr. Jin Lue, we will look back and take a closer look."
He was afraid that the king, who was holding back in Liaodong, would be in a bad mood and say something extreme. If Lin Jinglue knew about it in person, it would be difficult for him.
"Are you afraid that I will know the content of the edict?" Lin Tailai asked, "Don't worry, I already know what is written in it! It doesn't matter whether you open it in front of me or not."
Liu Chenglong: "."
Could it be that it was secretly opened and read during the transmission process? Or did Lin Jinglue already know about it through internal officials when the small court wrote the edict?
No matter what the possibility is, it is too much.
Lin Jinglue said in an orderly manner: "There are three main contents in the edict. The first is to ask you about your recent work performance; the second is to express the longing of His Majesty the King of your country for the country and the people; the third is to ask you Liu Chenglong to prepare some property.
Send it to Kuandian Fort to supply the king."
Lin Jinglue's tone was very calm, but Liu Chenglong felt sweat dripping down his back. He obviously didn't do anything, but why was Lin Jinglue's tone so scary?
After Liu Chenglong thought for a while, he asked: "I heard that Zheng Renhong came from another place to defect to Duke Jinglue with his rebel army yesterday?"
Zheng Renhong was regarded as the backbone of the Northern People's Party, but he did not flee with the small court, but organized an anti-Japanese rebel army among local non-governmental organizations.
Lin Tailai replied: "This is indeed the case. The headquarters felt that Zheng Renhong was useful and entrusted him to organize the North Road Zhongyi National Salvation Army.
Instead of using the original officers and soldiers of your country, we only recruit loyal and righteous people from the people. For every one hundred people, we will mix them into a mixed formation of ten people from our Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers. Speaking of which, this is really not enough."
Liu Chenglong said a little aggrievedly: "But the person appointed by the king as the governor of the military is me. This loyal and righteous national salvation army should be organized by me, right?"
In such troubled times, it is useless to say anything. Having soldiers in hand is the last word.
The best example is Lin Jinglue in front of him. If he didn't have 70,000 elite troops under his command, how could he be so tough?
If Zheng Renhong was asked to form the Loyalty and National Salvation Army, wouldn't Liu Chenglong be left out?
And there is a more critical question: Does Lin Jinglue not believe in himself?
Lin Tailai said in surprise: "Didn't we arrange for you to organize and maintain meetings in various places? Don't you feel that your work is not full?
In addition to maintaining basic local government affairs, on the one hand, they liquidated the traitors who had taken refuge with the Japanese pirates, and on the other hand, they suppressed the wealthy households who had food but refused to pay it to the Ming Dynasty officials and troops.
These tasks are also very important and will be very arduous. It is difficult for you to be the president of the maintenance association."
Liu Chenglong, the president of North Korean North Road Maintenance Association, said quickly: "I can be loyal to Jinglue, I can save the country for Jinglue, and I can organize militia for Jinglue!"
Lin Jinglue responded: "There is no rush, no rush, we will wait until my eastward campaign is over."
