Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 499 Secret Letter from the Military Lord

At the port of Dalian Port, more than a dozen cargo ships have been ordered by the military department, waiting in the port for a group of officials returning to the south.

Xiong Wencan, Shen Youlong and other officials came to the pier under the leadership of military non-commissioned officers in casual clothes.

The merchants or workers on the pier looked at the group of people curiously.

"Hello, my lords, we will be responsible for escorting you back to the south." The captain of a cargo ship came to Xiong Wencan and others.

"Are you from the Ministry of the Navy? There are only a few of us, why are there more than ten large ships accompanying us?" Xiong Wencan asked.

"Yes, I am a captain officer of the Admiralty, and I am here to escort several adults under the order of the Admiralty. These more than ten large ships are a batch of materials to be transported to the south by the Liaonan Arsenal, and they just set off with your lords." replied the captain.

"But the supplies related to our return to the south?" Shen Youlong asked aside.

"This matter is confidential, and I am sorry that it is difficult for me to tell you." The captain said.

The military sergeant who led Xiong Wencan and the others seemed to have thought of something when he saw this: "My lords, I almost forgot an important thing, and almost missed it! Here is a secret letter written by the military leader himself to the two lords, It is estimated that the two adults can find the answer from it. I hope to burn it after reading it."

"A secret letter written by the military leader himself?" Xiong Wencan and Shen Youlong looked at each other, their eyes became serious.

The actual ruler who had mastered the most powerful force inside and outside the pass actually wrote a secret letter to them, which shows that Chu Yun attaches great importance to them, or to what happened in the south.

"Brother Wen Can, please read it first." Of course there was only one secret letter, and the opening was sealed with wax, and the seal was "top secret".

"Okay." Xiong Wencan took the letter nervously. This was the first time he had received a personal letter from the commander of the Kyushu Army.

With trembling hands, he took out this calligraphy from the envelope, only to see that it was the precious authentic handwriting of Chu Yun...

Some of the characters on this brush are crooked, some are clawed, and the distance between characters is wide and narrow at times, which is like a mudslide in the calligraphy world... Xiong Wencan looked profusely sweating, and it is estimated that a boy who has been in a private school for several years can do it well. The writing is ten times better than Chu Yun's.

"Good calligraphy, good calligraphy." Xiong Wencan first praised Chu Yun's calligraphy in front of everyone without conscience. Anyway, everyone had no chance to see Chu Yun's real handwriting.

When Xiong Wencan said this, the people in the military department and some followers became curious, like a cat scratching their hearts.

The content of the secret letter written by Chu Yun is to briefly talk about the situation in Annan Kingdom south of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan, and then hope that Xiong Wencan and Shen Youlong, two political officials who have served as local officials in the south, can come to the local area to calm down the situation. Appease the soldiers and civilians in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and assist in the preparation of an independent corps of 3 people.As for the purpose of setting up an independent corps of 3 people, Chu Yun did not say it bluntly in the secret letter, but Xiong Wencan guessed it in his heart after reading it, and despite his preparations, he was still shocked.

"Brother Wencan, what happened?" Shen Youlong secretly observed Xiong Wencan's expression changes. Seeing that Xiong Wencan was relieved at first, then shocked, he couldn't help being curious about the contents of the secret letter.

"Brother, you will understand after reading it." Xiong Wencan handed Chu Yun's secret letter to Shen Youlong.

When Shen Youlong opened the secret letter, he was also disgusted by Chu Yun's words, and couldn't help blurting out: "What word is this?!"

But soon he came back to his senses, there are still so many people listening!So Shen Youlong quickly changed his mouth and said: "Good words, good words..."

Even Shen Youlong said so, and the other people present were startled by the two local civil affairs officials, and they all thought that Chu Yun really had calligraphy like flowing water.

"So that's how it is..." Shen Youlong read the contents of Chu Yun's secret letter carefully, and was relieved that Chu Yun transferred him from Fujian Civil Affairs Officer to Yunnan Chief Political Department as Chief Political Envoy.

Originally, the transfer from Fujian to the late-developed Yunnan Chief Secretary was a kind of relegation for officials, but the current situation is very different.It was obvious that Lin Yun wanted to use the local troops from Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places to intervene in An Nanguo's affairs.So in this way, the strategic position of the Chief Secretary of Yunnan in this operation is higher than that of Fujian. Chief Secretary of Yunnan.

After Xiong Wencan and Shen Youlong read Chu Yun's secret letter, they burned Chu Yun's secret letter on the spot in front of everyone.

"This is a personal letter from the military lord. If it can be kept, the descendants will be rich in the future!" Some people beside him couldn't help feeling sorry.

"My lords, how does Junzhu's calligraphy compare with Song Huizong's?" Some people asked curiously.

Song Huizong's calligraphy is famous, and he is also the creator of the thin gold body.

"Calligraphy styles are varied, incomparable, incomparable..." Xiong Wencan and Shen Youlong were asked, so they had to play Tai Chi to fool them.Not to mention Song Huizong, a great calligrapher, even a kid who polished ink for Song Huizong can finish Chuyun Nine Streets... How does this compare?
"The time has come, our fleet is ready to go to sea, please move aboard, my lords."

The captain led Xiong Wencan, Shen Youlong and others onto the boat.Except for Xiong Wencan, Shen Youlong and others, the main purpose of this fleet is to transport a batch of important arms to Guangdong, and then transport them from Guangzhou to Hoi An Port controlled by the Ruan family in Annan Kingdom to support Ruan. The Zheng family fought against the bigger Zheng family.

"Brother Wen Can, the military master is plotting against An Nanguo." After boarding the boat, Shen Youlong and Xiong Wencan started talking in private.

Both of them are qualified to read Lin Yun's secret letter, so communication is not considered a leak.

"What's the matter? Didn't our Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty send troops to Annan Kingdom 200 years ago, and renamed Annan Kingdom 'Jiaozhi Chief Secretary'? It was only after Ming Xuanzong's national power declined that Jiaozhi had to be abandoned. Now our After the national power has been transformed, it is gradually becoming stronger, and it is time to turn An Nanguo back into the Chief Secretary of the Cochin." Xiong Wencan said without hesitation.

When the national power of the Celestial Dynasty is declining, the surrounding vassal states can jump up and down, but once the national power of the Celestial Dynasty is restored, the tributary system with its core will also be restored. Anyone who dares to make trouble will be oppressed by soldiers!
"I just hope that this time the story of abandoning Jiaozhi in the past will not be repeated again. If An Nanguo is really captured, we must manage it well and turn it into a real chief secretary of Jiaozhi." Shen Youlong said.

While the two were chatting, in addition to their fleet going out to sea in Dalian Port, another fleet equipped with a large number of old-fashioned firearms passed by their fleet.However, this fleet is not sailing to the south, but to the East Kingdom in the east.

　I don't have time today, let's calm down for a while. .
