Chapter 294
After explaining all the matters of Wenlong Island, Liu Hongjian did not stop, and took 2000 people from the Thousand Households of Wansui Mountain, and left that night in two Galen boats.

As the commander-in-chief of this national war, there are too many things that need him to worry about. Even if Jianlu has temporarily retreated, there are still many things that need to be checked by him.

The distribution of pensions and silver rewards for the soldiers who died in battle, the implementation of accumulated military achievements, the solicitation of rewards from the court, the deployment of soldiers in various border towns, the order of distribution of new muskets, training...

All of these, given the prevailing bureaucracy in the Ming Dynasty, without Liu Hongjian's stalking, everything could have been handled for several months.

The bloody battle of border soldiers on the battlefield, since the promise has been made, it must be implemented as many, as scheduled, and as soon as possible. No matter how difficult it is, we must not lose our promise to these soldiers who are really working hard for the country!
From Wenlong Island to Terengganu, it took six days of long journey by sea and rested for one night in Terengganu.

On the second day, all the original troops of Qianhusuo marched northward with infantry.

In order to hurry, Liu Hongjian 'borrowed' the only [-] old horses from the governor of Denglai with his authority, and headed straight for the capital with his guards and main officers.

On the evening of March 28th, on a night full of moonlight, 300 people arrived in the capital. Except for the big stick and a few personal guards, Liu Hongjian let the others go back to their respective homes.

Because it was too late, Liu Hongjian did not go to disturb Chongzhen, but went straight to the residence of Liang Yang, the second leader of Jinyiwei, with his personal guards.

Even though he misses his two young wives very much, the reunion is only a matter of time. He must be patient and sort out the current situation in the court, so as not to be passive.

Liang Yang couldn't say a word about the sudden arrival of Commander Jin Yiwei, but from the tears in his mother-in-law's eyes, Liu Hongjian could see that the old man still cared about him.

"My lord, your decision to go to the rear of Jianlu is too hasty, not a wise general!" Liang Yang asked angrily, wiping away his old tears.

Since Liu Hongjian took [-] soldiers from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, Jin Yiwei never brought back any news of Liu Hongjian, which made Liang Yang feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Daming finally became a capable person, and Jin Yiwei finally got better, all of these had to be supported by the kid in front of him.

If this kid is gone, Liang Yang dares to guarantee that this Daming will still be the same as before in two years.

Therefore, Liang Yang was very indignant at Liu Hongjian's abrupt behavior and expressed strong condemnation!
"It's so dark, is this how you, Old Liang, treat guests? By the way, this is the first time I've been to your old Liang's house!" Liu Hongjian didn't care about the chattering old Liang in front of him.

In fact, since he came to Daming through time travel, he has been treated like this a lot in the past year.

Whether it was Uncle Chongzhen, Lao Liang, the father at home, or the two young wives, they would nag him from time to time, and Liu Hongjian knew that these were the people who really cared about him.

When he arrived at the house, a servant had already brought hot tea. Liu Hongjian was so tired after running all the way, he sipped the hot tea.

"Old Liang, tell me about the recent war and the court's movements." Liu Hongjian put down his tea bowl and said.

It has been more than [-] days since he left Shanhaiguan with [-] soldiers, Liu Hongjian only knew that because of his bombing action, Jianlu had to retreat to the defense, and he didn't know anything about the rest.

"My lord, after Jianlu withdrew on the night of March [-]th, by March [-]th my Jin Yiwei passed the news to the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty was very happy.

But the Holy Majesty was also extremely dissatisfied and worried when he learned of your absurd behavior, my lord. "Speaking of this, Liang Yang glared at Commander-in-Chief, and found that Liu Hongjian didn't like him at all.

"What's more, after this battle between Daming and Jianlu, they showed the aura of Daming. It should have been a national celebration, but..."

"But what, hurry up, I'm still waiting to go home and go to sleep!" We were old acquaintances, and Liu Hongjian was very dissatisfied with Liang Yang's hesitation.

"However, after the battle results submitted by the generals of the border town were coordinated, and the household department, the military department, and the imperial horse inspector jointly inspected and checked, it was found that in this war, only the pension and silver rewards cost more than [-] million taels of silver...

This is not counting the consumption of food, grass, ordnance, horses, etc. in the war.

Therefore, those censor officials, including the ministers of various ministries, the Imperial Academy, the six ministries of Nanjing, and the ministers of the three divisions, all submitted a memorial to oppose the imperial court's use of this example to reward meritorious deeds..."

Crack——Liu Hongjian slapped the table with his palm, and the teacup on the table vibrated.

"Hmph, these bird civil servants, a group of bastards who have done more than succeed in their affairs, have not seen their shadows when Da Ming was in danger, but now they are jumping out again, they should really be taken to the border gate to have a look.

Would they dare to be so shameless if they had seen dead bodies all over the ground, blood flowing into streams, and mutilated limbs of those border guards?

The bad thing about Ming Dynasty is that a group of people who don't know anything about war come to command the battle, a group of people who seem to know everything but don't know shit come to mess up the court, and a group of bastards who only know about corruption, Ma De, if I am Your Majesty, I..."

"My lord, speak carefully, speak carefully!" Liang Yang trembled in shock after hearing Liu Hongjian's words, especially at the end.

Fortunately, this is in his house, and fortunately there is no one else around, otherwise, if these words are heard by someone who cares, the consequences will be disastrous.

Liu Hongjian was also pissed off, and just remembered that speech is not free these days, especially a man like him who is an extremely powerful minister who still holds military power in his hands is even more sensitive.

Unlike later generations who can indulge in lust and bullshit anytime and anywhere...

"Oh, I was also annoyed for a while, that's all, I have gone back, and I will settle accounts with these bird officials tomorrow!

It really doesn't make sense, those idle officials in Nanjing seem to really have nothing to do, I get money for the court, pay them wages, and the fuck will find work for me..."

Liu Hongjian got up and cursed while talking. Ever since he came back from the border town, Liu Hongjian had gotten into the bad habits of the big soldiers in the border town.

Liang Yang saw each other off at the back, and almost stumbled.

"Open the door! Open the door!" It was already late at night, and the gate of An Guohou's Mansion was already closed, Niu Damai hammered on the door with his big fist, his tone full of excitement.

"Who! It's late at night!" A servant who lived in the overturned room at the gate of the mansion came out with a lantern in a daze, very dissatisfied with the uninvited guest who disturbed his sleep.

"Kong Er Gouzi, are you itchy? Can't you even hear the voice of my old cow?

It's the master who's back, open the door quickly! "Niu Dazhuai said loudly.

"The master is back? The master... The master is back! The master is back from the border!" The servant named Kong Er Gouzi pondered for a while before he realized it.

In a moment of excitement, the lanterns fell to the ground, and without hesitation, he pulled the latch of the gate of the Hou Mansion with a click.

"My lord! My lord is back! My lord!" Kong Ergouzi opened the door, ignored Liu Hongjian and his party, and went straight to the outer courtyard to announce the good news.

Liu Hongjian didn't care too much, and led the horse into the yard. Several other servants had already taken over the horse and went to work.

Not long after, the lights of the entire Hou Mansion were lit up, and Liu Delong, who was wearing pajamas, rushed out of the outer courtyard first...
