The depression of Tieshan City is a bit hard to see. After the war, almost no one can be seen walking around in the city.
The only thing that could be seen were some mercenaries wandering around the city, but the two North Korean officials turned a blind eye to them. They seemed not to care at all about these outsiders, wandering around in their own city unscrupulously.
That’s not what I’m aiming for!
Jiang Wan smiled slightly in his heart and had a little contempt for the two North Korean officials. Mei Xiaofei beside him was telling him the story of the battle in which Tieshan City was besieged. Before talking about the war, the two North Korean officials
Officials had already dismissed most of the people in the city and allowed them to scatter in the surrounding countryside.
Jiang Wan's impression of these two people changed slightly. At least, these two people still paid some attention to the life and death of their people instead of focusing only on themselves and not caring about the life and death of their people.
In the government office, the banquet had been prepared long ago, and several people sat down in order. At this time, Shen Juncen slowly spoke in the name of toasting.
"We were worried about the things here in Tieshan at first!" Shen Juncen did not hide his mentality: "However, now that there is such a big thing happening in Pyongyang, it is nothing here in Tieshan City. My Shen family and I
Although the Li family is not considered a first-class big family in this country, there are still people in the court. The commander-in-chief asked whether the affairs of Tieshan City will have any impact on the future of the two of us..."
He pursed his lips and smiled: "There must be some influence, but at the worst, it's just a matter of changing his position as an official. It's not a big deal!"
"I hope you two can continue to be officials here and run this Tieshan City well!" Jiang Wan laughed: "If someone else comes here to be an official, it will be uncomfortable for them, and I will not be lucky either.
!”
"Since the commander-in-chief is destined, we and I will work hard to stay here and continue to run this Tieshan City to bring more benefits to the court and the people!"
After all, Shen Juncen was still a bit thin-skinned and directly asked Jiang Wan for benefits. Shen Juncen was a little unable to say it out loud, but Jiang Wan understood what he meant.
He nodded: "I know!"
Shen Juncen's expression remained unchanged and he continued to toast with a smile. Jiang Wan didn't look disappointed when he saw him, so she smiled and said: "Sir Shen and Li Dare are my first friends from Korea, so naturally I don't like my friends.
I will treat you badly. I only recognize two adults here in Pidao. If something happens in the future, no matter how big a person wants to associate with me, Pidao, bypassing these two adults, I will not comply!"
"Thank you so much, Marshal!" Shen Juncen and Li Qingxuan were overjoyed, and they thanked each other.
With Jiang Wan's words, not to mention they are worried that the Pu family in Pyongyang will replace them. In the future, a larger family with stronger capabilities and connections will put their two families aside and directly interact with the Ming Dynasty people.
It's all impossible.
The people of the Ming Dynasty are indeed worthy of reading the books of sages. They are very particular about what they do. Compared with those people of the Later Jin Dynasty who don't know what they are particular about, they are simply much better.
Of course, despite Jiang Wan's promise, the two of them also understood that the most fundamental thing was to increase their own value as soon as possible and strengthen their family's strength. Otherwise, the people of Ming Dynasty would only recognize their two families, and other people in the country would not recognize them.
If the family cannot tolerate them and attacks them, they will not be able to resist it.
As for this kind of internal fighting, the people of Ming Dynasty would not help, but would be happy to see it come to an end.
After a welcoming banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The next step is for Tang Ruowang to look for a workshop in the city that can be used as a cannon foundry. At the same time, he needs various stoves, firewood, and inventory of available materials. These things are all being carried out in an orderly manner.
The two North Korean officials also issued a recall message to the people who had left the city. A large amount of caltrops around the city needed to be cleared, the mines needed manpower to resume production, and all walks of life in the city had to slowly return to normal.
From a state of war to a state of peace, this requires a process, but this process does not take long for the Korean people. These Koreans seem to have adapted to these changes. In just a few days, a large number of people came back with their families.
City, and in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people, Shen Juncen even distributed a pound of grain to each person based on their head.
This North Korean official was very familiar with these things. Seeing the city slowly becoming lively, Jiang Wan had to admit that Shen Juncen still had some official skills.
However, he didn't take these things too seriously. He just told the other party to try his best to meet Tang Ruowang's requirements. At present, it seems that the cooperation between the two parties is okay. Tang Ruowang did not complain, and Shen Juncen did not complain. That's everything.
Everything is going on normally.
Three or four days later, Li Zicheng and several North Koreans came over from Pyongyang. This was the news that Li Guo brought back. Even if Jiang Wan arrived in North Korea, he had no intention of going to Pyongyang in person. It was too conspicuous for him.
His identity is also inappropriate to appear in that place.
Shen Juncen and Li Qingxuan received the group of Koreans, while Jiang Wan immediately received Li Zicheng.
"I came to North Korea this time mainly for you. I have asked Li Guo to bring all your people. I mean, you must have heard what Li Guo said!"
"My subordinates roughly know what the commander-in-chief means!" Li Zicheng nodded: "The commander-in-chief wants me to learn from Commander Wu and become Commander Wu of North Korea!"
"There is a slight difference, but not a big difference!" Jiang Wan said: "However, you are better off than him, and your men are stronger. At the beginning, he sent dozens of people to the den of thieves and became big by luck; but you
Here, we must go big. It doesn’t matter whether the Koreans care about your army or not, but your army must become a thorn in the side of the Tatars! A thorn in their flesh. Only in this way can you
Share the Tatar pressure for Phi Island!”
"My subordinates will never disappoint the commander-in-chief!"
"Don't let the Tatars down!" Jiang Wan nodded: "Li Zicheng, I value you very much, but as a military general, if you are valued by your superiors and have no military exploits, you will reach the top as a general. Only by continuing to make meritorious deeds, can you
Go further!”
"Li Zicheng has always kept the commander-in-chief's grace in his heart. If it had not been for the commander-in-chief's cultivation, Li Zicheng would have been a withered skeleton under Yan'an Prefecture. Li Zicheng's gratitude to the commander-in-chief will always be in his heart!"
"I can rest assured if I leave you in North Korea. I would be worried if any general on Pidao is placed here!" Jiang Wan said: "After all, it is a bit far from Pidao, just like Pidao is from the Ming Dynasty. The generals who lead the troops will
Being an official requires the ability and courage to make decisions on the fly, as well as the courage to fight to the death with the Tatars, and you lack both of these!"
"What you lack is an opportunity to become famous all over the world!" Jiang Wan said: "Now, I have given you the opportunity. How far you can achieve it depends on yourself!"
"You don't have to report everything to me. Unless your entire army is destroyed or you surrender to the enemy, you can make your own decisions on other matters!" Jiang Wan said: How to get along with the Koreans, you have to decide the appropriateness of it. What is your status?
It doesn't matter, I only have one request, stay in Pyongyang, and if necessary, you can even take the initiative!
"My subordinates understand the commander's expectations!" Li Zicheng nodded solemnly.
