"We were just handling military affairs and neglected the envoy!"
The Chinese Army Camp was naturally the most magnificent room in Zhenjiang Fort. Jiang Wan stood in the middle of the room, looking at Jin Changsheng who walked in from the outside with a smile, without getting up.
Although there is a smile on his face, his arrogant attitude is obvious.
"Not really a messenger, he just came here on behalf of our king to inspect the situation on Ping'an Road!" Jin Changsheng didn't seem to care about Jiang Wan's arrogance at all. Instead, he said humbly: "I heard that General Jiang was stationed here. Jin went out of his way to
Come and see us!”
"See you?" Jiang Wan said with a loud smile on his face: "Come here, show Mr. Jin a seat. Mr. Jin, this Zhenjiang Fort was taken from the Tartars not long ago, and the conditions are simple. Don't worry about it!"
"Where, where!" Jin Changsheng smiled and nodded: "I have heard about the general's power. This victory at Zhenjiang Fort makes my king proud. Unfortunately, the Jin people have been plundering our country for a long time.
Many officials in my court are close to the Jin people and alienated from the Ming Dynasty. My king is deeply worried. If it were not for the stability of the court, he would definitely have sent me here with great fanfare to congratulate the general on his victory!"
"Hahahaha!" Jiang Wan laughed. The unhappiness caused by the floating incident had dissipated a lot. The North Korean envoy in front of him was very good at talking. If he hadn't been reserved, he would have wanted the other party to say more.
A few words.
"Mr. Jin is from Pyongyang, right?" Jiang Wan asked: "Previously, our army had a moderate battle with the Jin people in Pyongyang, which disturbed the people of Pyongyang. I have been feeling very guilty.
It just so happens that when you come this time, you must convey my guilt to His Highness the King. Our army is also forced by the situation and has no other choice. Don't take it to heart if you go to His Highness the King!"
"I came to Zhenjiang Fort from Tieshan. When I go back, I plan to stay in Pyongyang for a few days!" Jin Changsheng nodded: "I will definitely tell General Jiang's intention to my king!"
The soldiers brought tea. Jiang Wan stretched out his hand and said, "Drink tea!"
Jin Changsheng picked up the teacup, took a symbolic sip, and then put the teacup down, only to find that Jiang Wan was looking at him, but had no intention of continuing to speak.
"I'm here this time..."
"I have just given you the explanation you want!" Jiang Wan interrupted him: "If your envoy has any other explanation or explanation, please don't say anything. I am very busy with military affairs!
"
"I want to ask, does the Ming Dynasty plan to garrison troops here in Zhenjiang Fort for a long time?" Jin Changsheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "When I came here, I saw many Ming people building houses and buildings near Zhenjiang Fort.
A castle or something like that!”
"Why, the Tartars can garrison, but the Ming garrison can't?" Jiang Wan looked at the other party sideways, her tone a little unkind.
"That's not what I mean!" Jin Changsheng shook his head: "What I mean is that if the Ming Dynasty plans to station troops here for a long time, it will inevitably build a large number of houses and castles, which requires a large number of manpower, and we have Ping'an Road and Hamgyong Road in North Korea.
There is nothing else here except a large number of untouchables who lack food and clothing in the winter. If we can help the Ming Dynasty build a castle in Zhenjiang Fort in exchange for food for the winter, I don’t know if this is possible!"
"Is this what your king means?" Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.
"No, no, no, this is not what our king meant!" Jin Changsheng shook his head: "It's just that when the Jin people were stationed here, they arrested and requisitioned my Korean people to do these things. I thought the Ming Dynasty would do the same, since it can't be avoided.
, of course I want to fight for more benefits for my Korean people!"
"I can't support so many people!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "I don't plan to support so many people. Right now, it's very difficult for me in Zhenjiang Fort to gather the nearby Ming people. If your people from North Korea come over again,
If there is one more, the people of Ming Dynasty will have one less ration!"
"That's it..." Jin Changsheng breathed a long sigh of relief, and Jiang Wan's answer made him feel relieved.
Sure enough, Ming Dynasty still looks down upon these barren lands in Korea!
"However, if anyone from Korea is willing to join our Ming army, I would welcome it!" Jiang Wan continued: "The food and salary are naturally the same as those of our Ming officers and soldiers. As far as I know, there are also many Koreans on the Tartar side.
Joining their troops, don’t say you don’t know about this!”
"Then these people have their own choice!" Jin Changsheng was stunned for a moment: "Some were even arrested directly!"
"I don't care about that!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "Since it is the people's choice, then if someone wants to join my Ming Dynasty's army, I think you won't stop them, right?"
"We never wanted to be enemies with Ming Dynasty!"
"That's good!" Jiang Wan nodded with satisfaction: "I hope you will remember what you said. When you go back, stay in Pyongyang for a few more days to take a look at the situation in Pyongyang, and then bring my words to
Your king!"
He stood up to see off his guests. Jin Changsheng still had something to say, but he had already been invited out by several generals.
When he walked out of the room, Jin Changsheng not only did not feel angry about his experience, but instead had a smile on his face.
Although the meeting just now was short, it allowed him to clarify several issues that he urgently needed to clarify. This seemingly arrogant Ming general seemed to intend to stay in Zhenjiang Fort for a long time, which meant that,
At least the war between the Jin and the Ming army will continue here.
This is the gateway for the Ming and Jin people to enter North Korea. As long as the Ming people can hold on here, the pressure of the Jin people on North Korea will be greatly reduced.
And this Ming general was so arrogant that he still looked down upon the territory of North Korea. He only used North Korea as a springboard for the Jin people. As long as North Korea did not interfere with this matter, then the Ming people would not do anything to North Korea.
The country shows its bad intentions.
With a Jin Kingdom, North Korea would not be able to bear it. If there is a malicious Ming Dynasty, it would be better for North Korea to change its dynasty as soon as possible.
"It seems that Pyongyang is indeed a governor who needs to be close to the Ming Dynasty!" He murmured to himself: "This position was not a big deal before, but now it is very critical!"
Not far away, a group of armored soldiers walked past. They were the armored sergeants under Kong Youde's command, who were practicing and showing off. Jin Changsheng was stunned by the sight of these heavily armored soldiers, who were almost entirely covered in armor.
.
"Perhaps, we can really let some soldiers who are loyal to the king join these Ming armies!" He couldn't help but salivate in his heart: "If North Korea has three thousand such soldiers, how can the king be depressed all day long? Yes, this
I have to send word back about the matter immediately. The Jin people and the Ming people will leave sooner or later. The Korean people's affairs are ultimately handled by the Korean people themselves. The stronger the power in the hands of the king, the king can realize his ideals and ambitions!"
