I don’t know how the Shen family and the Li family operate this matter, but come to think of it, the methods of framing people are all the same in the world. It’s just to see who has less bottom line, who is more despicable, or even who is more sinister.
.
Whether it is Li Zicheng or Jiang Yanran, they obviously lack their own eyes and ears in the royal city of North Korea. Therefore, they drink and brag in the post house every day, and occasionally watch their subordinates compete with each other in martial arts, and live their lives.
Be worry-free.
Until Jin Changsheng came to the door again.
But this time, there was no longer a smile on Jin Changsheng's face, but a look of bitterness and hatred.
"It is impossible for General Li Shi to rebel!"
When he saw Li Zicheng and Jiang Yanran, his first words were to express his support for the guys who were framed and framed this time.
"Well, what does this have to do with us? We don't even know who the person you are talking about is?"
Li Zicheng pretended to be stupid in a serious manner, which was so clumsy that even Jiang Yanran beside him couldn't stand it.
"Master Jin, this is your country's own affair. Please come to us to tell us whether you are looking in the wrong place!"
She suppressed her smile and signaled to Li Zicheng that she would leave the matter of dealing with this guy to her. Li Zicheng smiled and said nothing.
"Whether we should come to you or not, we both know clearly!" Jin Changsheng said with a stern face: "If these two adults weren't here, and if Shen Quanyi and Li Qianye were given ten more courages, they wouldn't dare to slander General Li Shi.
, our king relies on General Li Shi as much as Qiancheng!"
"Then it depends on who your king is guarding against in this Gancheng!"
Jiang Yanran glanced at the other party indifferently, and there was an aura of calmness and self-restraint on her small face. Perhaps it was Jin Changsheng's own illusion. After learning the girl's true identity and what she had done,
After that, he regarded this girl as equally important as the overseas governor.
He did not dare to underestimate the other party, especially when he saw that General Li, the envoy of the Overseas Suppression and Control Division, withdrew from the girl's eyes without hesitation and handed over the leadership of the conversation to this girl.
girl.
He knew that this girl was probably the only one in the entire post house who could make the decision.
"I reported to our king that Ming Dynasty set up a consolation mission in Korea!" He took a deep breath and suppressed his dissatisfaction: "Generally speaking, our king agrees with Ming Dynasty's approach.
It’s just the details that still need to be discussed!”
"If you had said so earlier, it would have been over!" Jiang Yanran was delighted: "If you have to come here, let's talk about irrelevant things first. Since your king has agreed, then, next, you can discuss other details with our mission.
Well, there are other people in the mission who are in contact with your officials, so we don’t need to worry about these matters!"
She clapped her hands: "So, we can go back, and let those who stay behind do the rest!"
"But..." Jin Changsheng became anxious: "The recent actions of Shen Quanyi and Li Qianye have made our king very dissatisfied. If it were not for the sake of the Ming envoys, they would have been punished long ago!"
Jiang Yanran smiled: "Our Ming Dynasty's purpose is never to interfere in the internal affairs of the vassal. You can handle your own affairs however you want without asking us for our opinion!"
She pursed her lips: "But if you have the chance to see these two adults recently, I can help you remind them. However, since the matter of appeasing the envoy has been settled, then there will be no problem with my Sihai Trading Company.
, except for leaving a few people to prepare for the semicolon, I'm afraid I have to leave immediately!"
"I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see the two adults from the Shen family and the Li family again!"
"If Miss Jiang wants to see the two of them, she will definitely meet them!" Jin Changsheng said with certainty: "Miss Jiang, please be sure to persuade these two people and tell them that we, North Korea, also have laws!
"
After Jin Changsheng left, Li Zicheng looked at Jiang Yanran with a faint smile: "This old man was threatening you just now!"
"He is not threatening me, he is just threatening the two guys from the Shen family and the Li family!" Jiang Yanran curled her lips: "Anyway, most of the things you have to do have been done. I will go back to Zhenjiang Fort now.
, are you leaving or not!”
"Walk!"
Li Zicheng said without hesitation: "Just leave the people from the civil affairs yamen to do these things that are wasted with the Koreans. I am a leader in fighting, and it will be very frustrating to stay here every day!"
He looked at Jiang Yanran; "I just want to go back by water with your fleet, so I don't have to travel all the way!"
"Leave a few capable people here!" Jiang Yanran reminded: "If anything happens to Shen Quanyi and Li Qianye, we can help them. Although their roots are not in the royal city, but in the royal city
The only ones who can do things for us wholeheartedly are them!"
"Do you still need to remind me?" Li Zicheng smiled strangely: "Beside them, there are people from our Military Intelligence Department, but they and I are not on the same line, and I can't control them. Anyway, don't worry, our commander
Your Excellency, you don’t have a perfect plan, no matter what we thought of or what we didn’t think of, the commander will definitely think of it and arrange it clearly!"
Jiang Yanran curled her lips slightly: "My brother... he's not that powerful, right? I can predict the future, but I don't think you admire me so much?"
"My lord, our commander, I am strategizing and exhausting all strategies. You call it pretending!" Li Zicheng laughed loudly: "You can't defeat thousands of Tartar soldiers by pretending, but you can strategize and exhaust all strategies. Let's
Such a large formation and such mighty troops and horses of the Overseas Zhenfu Division were all built with the hands and feet of the Commander. I admire the Commander, isn't this normal?"
"It's just that he is luckier than me..." Jiang Yanran muttered bitterly: "If I woke up in Beijing, I might do better than him..."
"What?" Li Zicheng didn't understand.
"Nothing!" Jiang Yanran waved her hands. She had long since determined that Jiang Wan and she were the same kind of people. However, to make her feel confident, she would definitely do better than Jiang Wan if they were in a different environment.
Even better, she couldn't say it.
The stay in the Royal City of Joseon was not long. After one night, Li Zicheng left the Royal City with Jiang Yanran, leaving behind several capable officials from the civil affairs yamen in the mission.
Except for Shen Quanyi and Li Qianye who came to see them off, no other North Korean officials showed up this time. Even Mr. Jin seemed not to know about their departure.
The two of them warned Shen Quanyi and Li Qianye and walked away. Anyway, what they had already started could not be stopped. In Jiang Yanran's view, no matter how the North Korean royal court dealt with these two people.
That Li Shi must die, and even his family must disappear. The Overseas Security Bureau can tolerate North Korea's arrogance in front, but it will never allow North Korea to maintain a strong force to confront it.
And as an outstanding general who commanded their military force, it was natural that one of them would be killed.
Only those who are in line with the interests of the overseas governor and those who are willing to work for the interests of the overseas governor are qualified to occupy important positions in the royal court of North Korea.
If those North Korean officials raise objections, then these North Korean officials are the enemies of the Overseas Prosecution Department. If the king of North Korea raises objections, then the king of North Korea cannot be replaced.
This North Korean king who killed his uncle and ascended the throne has not been recognized by the Ming Dynasty so far. At best, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty court, he is just a rebel.
However, Jiang Yanran won't bother too much about how to do specific things. She is the comfort governor of the Ryukyu Comfort Department, and she is not the comfort envoy of the North Korea Comfort Department. She does not have to work hard for other people's affairs. I believe Jiang Wan is the comfort envoy of North Korea.
There should already be a candidate for this position. Just wait until that person takes over!
Strictly speaking, she actually only cares about the preparations for her Shihai branch in the royal city. She is the kind of person who will light a fire here and not run away, and Li Zicheng was sent here as a temporary recruiter. The main purpose
I guess it's just to scare the North Koreans.
Since North Koreans are so sensible, Li Zicheng naturally doesn't have much room to show his talents. If he doesn't leave at this time, he can't stay here to celebrate the New Year.
The sea route to Pi Island is much faster than the land route. After arriving at Pi Island, the two of them changed carriages and horses, and in almost two days they could see the towering and stretching city walls of Zhenjiang Fort.
After Jiang Wan designed the layout of Zhenjiang Fort with one main fort and four auxiliary forts, Zhenjiang Fort has been growing and growing. The construction and maintenance of the city wall has never stopped. After winter, a large amount of idle labor was used to repair the city wall.
, and it has also become a way for them to make extra money this winter.
Therefore, when the two of them entered the city, they saw a bustling and lively scene.
The outer city wall is being built in full swing, but inside the wall, there is a lot of traffic and an endless stream of pedestrians. A large number of shops have sprung up in the streets and alleys of Zhenjiang Fort like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. They are from all over the world, with different clothes and even appearances.
All kinds of people can be seen here.
Li Zicheng went to the Military and Government Yamen to hand over his errands, while Jiang Yanran went directly to the General Military Mansion.
Jiang Wan, who had already received the news of her arrival, looked at Jiang Yanran walking into the door with a smile at the bottom of the steps. Miss Jiang Er, who was so majestic outside, couldn't help seeing Jiang Wan's smiling and stretched out hands.
He left the people around him and jumped towards him.
“Welcome home!”
Jiang Wan rubbed Jiang Yanran's head with her hand; "You've grown taller, but you didn't reach my shoulders last time?"
"You missed the evolutionary history of a beautiful girl!" Jiang Yanran pulled her head out of Jiang Wan's arms: "I was the first one to arrive. Where are my sister-in-law and the others, and my eldest nephew, too?
You should be able to run around now!"
"That's right, you are the first one to arrive, you are the farthest!" Jiang Wan said, "I thought you would be the last one to arrive. This year we are celebrating the New Year in Zhenjiang Fort. Your sister-in-law and others will all come. If there is nothing to delay, they should all be here at this moment.
On the way!"
"Whoever dares to cause trouble for us now, I will kill them!"
Jiang Yanran showed a vicious expression: "Let them know how the word '江' is written!"
"Okay, okay, you are the best!" Jiang Wan patted her lovingly and looked behind her: "Li Huamei, right? Yanran mentioned you many times in her letter and said you were her good sister!"
"Huamei doesn't dare!" Li Huamei, who was behind Jiang Yanran, lowered her head slightly: "That's Miss's compliment!"
"Yanran is right about people's abilities, and you did a good job too!" Jiang Wan smiled slightly at Li Huamei: "Do your job well, and when you get here, you just go home. Yanran treats you as a sister.
, you are one of the Jiang family!"
Li Huamei gratefully greeted Jiang Wan.
Jiang Yanran wrinkled her little nose: "That's it, brother, if you keep doing this, I suspect you will poach people from me. There are not many capable people around me. If Hua Mei is tempted by you, I will
Who else can I ask to help me?"
"You are the only one who talks a lot!"
Jiang Wan led him towards the back: "I know you are coming today and I have prepared delicious food for you. You may not be able to eat it in Ryukyu. I haven't seen you for so long. You must have a lot to talk to me."
Say, let’s chat while eating!”
Jiang Yanran indeed had a lot to say to Jiang Wan, but no matter how much she said, after seeing a large bowl of steaming dumplings, she suddenly became less anxious, and she almost shed tears - not because she was moved.
, it’s because the dumplings in my mouth are too hot.
Seeing him devouring the food, Jiang Wan felt as relieved as if he were looking at an old father whose daughter has not returned home for many years: "Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you, there are plenty!"
"It's stuffed with pork and cabbage. How can your chef cook this? It's so delicious!"
Jiang Yanran shouted: "I want this cook. When I leave, you must remember to remind me to take him away!"
"I did it!"
Jiang Wan smiled: "Cabbage is not hard to find, and it can survive this season, but pork is hard to find, and the beef and mutton stuffing seems to be a little less flavorful. Moreover, the pigs found have not been gelding, so
The quality of the meat is not very good, so you just have to order it. Next year, let them have a few more sheep and pigs in the house, and we will make dumplings for the Chinese New Year!"
"Then you definitely can't leave with me!" Jiang Yanran looked at Jiang Wan pitifully, then rolled her eyes: "Brother, you are so capable, you can fight, make dumplings, get promoted and make a fortune in business.
You are an expert at everything, don’t any of my sisters-in-law doubt where you got all these skills from?"
"A capable person can do anything!" Jiang Wan laughed: "If a person does one thing well and does other things well, others will take it for granted. Just like you, you were able to do it in Yanchuan
If you can still live so nourishingly in such a harsh environment, then I think you should live a nourishing life anywhere in this world. I don't find it strange that you are so capable!"
"Being able to live and breathe everywhere is considered a skill?" Jiang Yanran muttered, and then put another dumpling into her mouth. She didn't feel that he was praising her.
"Of course!" Jiang Wan said with certainty: "Otherwise, how could I trust you to take the fleet out everywhere, and how could the reputation of your second Miss Jiang be spread all over the world!"
