There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

Qingjian County, Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province.

After the Qin soldiers led by Sun Chuanting retreated to the area, they still did not enter the city to garrison, but set up a camp outside the city.

After more than ten days of truce and rest, some money, food and supplies were replenished from Yan'an Prefecture, and the officers and soldiers who were slightly injured in the early stage returned to the army. The Qin army recovered to about 8,300 men, and the officers and soldiers were in much better spirits.

"Lord Futai, the angel announcing the imperial decree has arrived. He should be the Zhenming Army who agreed to our recruitment of Lin Feng." Lord Bo Jing Xiaoyan reported into the commander's tent.

Since the direct confrontation with the Zhenming Army, Sun Chuanting has also seen the advantages and disadvantages of Lin Feng, but he is completely relieved about recommending Lin Feng with his promising future. After meeting such a powerful person, he recommended to himself that it was truly responsible behavior, so he regained his previous trust in Jing Xiaoyan.

"Oh, the imperial decree is coming very quickly. Who will come to announce the decree?" Sun Chuanting asked casually.

"Eunuch Miu, who is the Supervisor of Ceremonies in the palace, came with a thousand households of Jin Yiwei to escort him. His subordinates also found out that during the court discussion, Kong Shoufu and Yang Butang both approved of the recruitment, but Guo Jingchang, the censor of Zuodu, strongly opposed it and also I impeach you, my lord, for negotiating peace with the rebels without authorization." Jing Xiaoyan continued to report.

"These officials are really short of success and more than willing to fail. They only know how to talk. What does the emperor mean?" Sun Chuanting asked.

"The emperor must have agreed to the recruitment in the end, otherwise he would not have sent the order. However, he is dissatisfied with the early withdrawal of the troops, but due to the current situation, he did not pursue the case. Yang Butang also gave us some eye candy in this regard." Jing Xiaoyan is in charge of the Qin army's external relations and is still well-informed.

"Hey, Yang Butang still has some objections to my inability to fully support his Four Right and Six Corners strategy. It's not that I don't support it, it's really because of the lack of money and food that the Qin army cannot afford to fight continuously for a long time." Sun Chuanting sighed helplessly.

"Sir, let's take the order first."

"Okay, hurry up and arrange the incense table, and then invite the angels to come in." Sun Chuanting ordered.

Soon, Eunuch Miao and his entourage from the palace filed in, spread out the bright yellow imperial edict and began to read:

"According to Heaven's destiny, the emperor issued an edict: Lin Feng, the magistrate of Fugu County in northern Shaanxi, rebelled and rebelled, occupying Jia, Suide, Baode and other prefectures and counties.

Shaanxi Fu Chuanting led the Qin army to vigorously encircle and suppress, forcing Lin Feng and others to voluntarily surrender. In order to reduce the spread of the war and pacify the people of northern Shaanxi, in memory of Lin Feng and others who still wanted to revitalize the Ming Dynasty and resist foreign invasion, he authorized the court to report to Fu. Bureau, granted Lin Feng the title of governor of northern Shaanxi, with jurisdiction over Jia, Suide, Baode and other places. He hoped that you and others would deeply feel the kindness of the court, be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and protect the country and the people. Admire this! "

"I'd like to thank my emperor for his kindness!" Sun Chuanting and others knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to express their gratitude before following the imperial edict.

"Sun Futai, the emperor has ordered you to return to the army immediately to encircle and suppress the Li thieves, and strive to capture and kill this lao as soon as possible." Eunuch Miao continued.

"I accept the decree!" Sun Chuanting replied respectfully.

Two days later, Jing Xiaoyan came to Jiazhou City with the eunuch who announced the decree.

After Lin Feng received the news, he immediately asked Zhang Yingjie to set up an incense table for receiving the edict in the lobby of the state government office, and accepted the edict in accordance with standard court etiquette.

Considering that he needs to maintain peace with the court for a period of time, Lin Feng also knows that Chongzhen is very proud, so everything follows the rules and there is no need to anger the court on minor issues.

"Congratulations to the Governor. I hope Governor Lin will not forget the grace of God and serve the court more." Eunuch Miao said with a smile.

"That's natural. It's hard work for Eunuch Miao to come here to announce the decree. This year, you can take 500 taels of silver to give Eunuch-in-law tea. In addition, I have also prepared some gifts for Eunuch-in to take back to the Emperor." Lin Feng said.

Upon hearing that Lin Feng generously gave a huge sum of five hundred taels, Eunuch Miao's face instantly became brighter. This time he really smiled and said, "Governor Lin is so polite. May I ask what gifts you have prepared for the emperor?"

"The glass, perfume, soap and other items produced by our Zhenming Group are all special products with first-class quality. I will also prepare a set for my father-in-law." Lin Feng said.

"That's a good relationship! The emperor is very frugal now, and the palace is very tight on expenses."

"Your Majesty is truly a model for the world, so I'll thank you for your hard work and forward it to your father-in-law in seconds."

"Easy to say, easy to say!" After receiving the benefit, Mr. Mi happily took the people to have a rest. "Xiaoyan, you can also bring a copy of these specialties of Zhenming to Governor Sun when the time comes. I really admire the Governor for his dedication to the people." Lin Feng sent the eunuch who announced the decree away, leaving Jing Xiaoyan to speak alone. .

"Thank you, sir, but is Governor Lin ready to sincerely serve the imperial court?" Jing Xiaoyan asked.

"Xiao Yan, you are one of our own, and I won't hide it from you. Accepting the recruitment is definitely an expedient measure. It's not that I, Lin Feng, don't want to be loyal to the court, but that the court will not tolerate me for a long time." Lin Feng said.

"That's inevitable. The court or the emperor will never allow ministers who listen to announcements but not to follow instructions to exist for a long time." Jing Xiaoyan agreed.

"It's not that I, Lin Feng, must fight for this power, but within the existing system of the Ming court, we cannot achieve the goal of protecting the country and benefiting the people. The Ming court is rotten from the root." Lin Feng continued.

"That's true. Everything the imperial court does is to criticize each other. This time, Governor Sun was impeached for withdrawing troops without permission after he negotiated with the adults. If there was no one to replace him for the time being, Governor Sun would probably have been captured." Jing Xiaoyan agreed. road.

"Have Xiaoyan thought carefully about whether he wants to join our Zhenming Army? I'm waiting for you." Lin Feng continued.

"I am very grateful to the governor for your appreciation. I am very willing to join the Zhenming Army. However, Mr. Futai has a favor with me. I cannot leave the governor's mansion at this time. When the time is right, I will definitely come to join the governor." Jing Xiao Yan replied.

"Okay, filial piety is affectionate and righteous, I appreciate it very much. Then you can follow the governor first. If there is any news from the court, you can inform us in advance. If there is news that will harm Governor Sun, you don't have to tell us." Lin Feng said.

"Thank you for your understanding, Governor. If there is any other news, I will definitely send someone to deliver a letter." Jing Xiaoyan replied.

"Xiaoyan can suggest to Governor Sun that we set up a liaison mechanism between the Zhenming Army and the Qin Army to avoid misunderstandings between the two armies. Once the Tatars attack, they can exchange news. In this way, Xiaoyan will not be able to pass on any news to us. It won't be too abrupt." Lin Feng suggested.

"My lord, this is a very good opinion. I will report it to Lord Futai immediately when I get back."

"Okay, Xiaoyan, just go and rest first. Don't forget to take the gifts with you when you leave." Lin Feng explained.

"Understood, thank you Lord Governor!"

After Jing Xiaoyan resigned, Lin Feng called Lin Jiakang and Guo Zheng from Tingfeng Guard.

"Guo Zheng, after we accept the imperial court's invitation, we will inevitably have to deal with the imperial court more, and we need to pay more attention to the imperial court's news. If you hear the news, go to the capital to set up a station. Lin Feng explained.

"This matter is indeed necessary, but we have no connections in the capital. It may be difficult to find out the situation at first." Guo Zheng replied.

"This time Eunuch Miao from the palace is coming. Send someone to follow him. Provide better protection on the road and try to establish a relationship. In addition, contact Bo, the owner of the governor's mansion, to see if he has any connections." Lin Feng pointed out.

"You will find a way as soon as your Excellency points it out. We will do it right away. Since the Beijing Intelligence Station is very important, I suggest sending a mature backbone there."

"Who do you have in mind?"

"Ma Ang has comprehensive abilities and is also smart. I suggest that he take charge." Guo Zheng suggested.

"Okay!" I also have an impression of Ma Ang Lin Feng, the young man is really good.

Lin Feng then said to Lin Jiakang: "Jiayasu, the market in Beijing is huge. We sent a batch of Zhenming products to the palace this time to open up the market in Beijing. Your secretary department selects suitable personnel from a group to go to Beijing together to open a shop or The restaurant serves as a cover for the Tingfengwei Intelligence Station.

Of course, the more important thing for people in the group is to promote products such as glass, perfume, soap, etc., and earn as much profit as possible. "Lin Feng explained. (End of Chapter)
