The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 189 Forming an Alliance
Li Jinzhong was cold and hungry, and was shocked by the killing incident at the gate of the camp.Fortunately, after drinking a bowl of ginger soup and another bowl of broth, I finally recovered.

However, when he remembered that the errand of his proclamation had not been completed, the bloody scene at the gate of the camp left a deep impression on him.The soldiers under him were all so fierce, but Jiang Chuan, the boss, didn't know how scary it was, so he sighed again and again, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost cried with the two little eunuchs.

Fortunately, Liu Ji was ordered to go, and it took him a long time to appease him before convincing him that Jiang Chuan was definitely not the kind of big devil with a blue face and fangs who killed countless people.

Looking at Liu Ji, who is elegant and refined, Li Jinzhong almost wanted to hug him and cry. He had never felt that civil servants were so amiable and kind.In front of the palace, he always heard how hateful and annoying those civil servants were, but now he compared them, and he found that the civil servants of Ming Dynasty were simply the kindest creatures in the world.

After appeasing Li Jinzhong, Liu Ji brought Li Jinzhong over to announce the decree.

When Li Jinzhong entered the tent of the Chinese army and saw Jiang Chuan, his face was in disbelief. He never thought that the murderous demon king in his mind was so handsome and young, with a kind smile on his face, he looked like the murderous demon king. Not at all.

Jiang Chuan felt a little hairy after being sized up by the dead eunuch, but it was his first time seeing a eunuch, so he also looked up and down Li Jinzhong curiously.

Ok?Is the eunuch like that, nothing special, just no beard, and the voice is a little bit thinner.It's just that the ancients didn't have the habit of shaving, so the eunuchs looked more conspicuous.If it was placed in the society of his previous life, he would be regarded as a bit of a bitch at most.

Seeing the new Marquis looking up and down, looking at himself like an animal, Li Jinzhong couldn't help but tighten his chrysanthemum again, feeling that he couldn't hold back his urine again, so he had to hold back a smile that was uglier than crying and faced Jiang Chuan Said: "Our family Li Jinzhong has met Chief Jiang, and the chief is indeed a heroic young man with extraordinary martial arts."

Hearing the trembling compliments of the eunuch in front of him, Jiang Chuan secretly laughed in his heart, those guys really scared people a lot.

"Elder-in-law has had a long journey, please come inside." Jiang Chuan smiled gently and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Jinzhong tremblingly led the two young eunuchs to the middle of the big tent, and after standing still, he asked with a flattering smile: "Boss Jiang, is this the decree?"

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "My father-in-law."

After speaking, Jiang Chuan took the lead, and the others stood behind him and looked at Li Jinzhong.

Li Jinzhong forced himself to look majestic, took a cowhide tube from the little eunuch behind him, pulled out a pair of imperial edicts made of bright yellow satin and screamed: "The imperial edict of the Ming Emperor is hereby, and Jiang Chuan, the leader of the rebel army, received the edict." .”

"Jiang Chuan accepts the order." Jiang Chuan cupped his fists and bowed slightly.The people behind them were also in the same posture.

Seeing that the group of people in front of him had no intention of kneeling at all, Li Jinzhong didn't dare to say more, opened the imperial decree, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and began to read the imperial decree:

"Fengtian Chengyun emperor issued an imperial edict saying, 'The captives in the east are not in peace, and they are invading the northern borders. The people are devastated, and I will not be safe. Now there is a righteous man, Jiang Chuan, who has spent all his wealth. He has recruited rebels and defeated the captives repeatedly. I am very pleased to be a role model for the army and the people in the world. I specially confer the title of Marquis of Wu'an in Jiangchuan, and also the title of General Soldier in Southern Liao. In charge of the military administration, to replace the emperor's animal husbandry. To show the merits of Jiangchuan, I specially bestowed a set of bullfighting clothes, 5000 taels of silver, and 27 pieces of silk as a reward. In addition, Datong Mansion sent 27 stones of grain and grass to the Ministry of Marquis Wu'an I hope that the Marquis of Wu'an can watch and help each other with the Datong frontier army, and make new achievements for me and appease Liaodong. This is it! It was October [-]th, [-]th year of Jingrun in the Ming Dynasty."

After reading, Li Jinzhong received the imperial decree and looked at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan cupped his hands and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live, long live, long live." After speaking, he bowed slightly, and everyone behind him also bowed slightly.

"Master Hou, our family congratulates Master Hou, congratulations to Master Hou!" Li Jinzhong rolled up the imperial decree and came up with a smile on his face, and sprayed the imperial decree on Jiang Chuan with both hands.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Jiang Chuan smiled and took the imperial decree and handed it to Liu Ji beside him. He looked indifferent, as if it was not much different from holding a piece of toilet paper, and Li Jinzhong's face trembled when he saw it.

"Lord Hou, this is your majesty's official uniform, including regular uniform and imperial uniform, as well as the bullfighting uniform bestowed by your majesty. This is the seal of your general army, and here is a 5000 tael silver ticket. The other two hundred pieces of silk are due to time. I am nervous, so in the future, the treasury of Datong will pay Lord Hou. Lord Hou, take a look, all the things rewarded by His Majesty are here."

Li Jinzhong took out the same things from the rucksacks on the backs of the two young eunuchs, and introduced them to Jiang Chuan one by one. He introduced them very carefully, for fear that if something was missing, he would be upset and he would be in trouble.

Jiang Chuan glanced at these things, took a look at the stack of bank notes in front of him, it had the words Datong Bank printed on it, and turned his head to look at Liu Ji.

His economic knowledge of this world is messed up, and he doesn't know whether this thing is true or not.

Liu Ji glanced at it and said: "Master Hou, this is the banknote issued by Datong Bank, the most famous bank in Ming Dynasty. It is used in thirteen provinces in the world, and every prefecture and city has their semicolons. You can exchange it with the banknote. , and can also be used directly for spending.”

Jiang Chuan let out a sigh, knowing that this thing is equivalent to the check of later generations, but it has an additional consumption function than the check.

After seeing that the banknotes in his hand were all in denominations of 100 taels, Jiang Chuan counted out ten of them, totaling 1000 taels, stuffed them into Li Jinzhong's hands and said with a smile: "My father-in-law came from a long way to declare the decree. I am also worried, this 1000 taels is considered as a little transportation expenses for my father-in-law, and my father-in-law should not refuse."

Li Jinzhong thought that it would be a good thing for him to return to Beijing intact, but he didn't expect that there would be a benefit, and it was still 1000 taels. Once you pick it up, you will be killed again.

Jiang Chuan saw through his thoughts, pulled him aside and said in a low voice, "Eunuch, you don't need to worry too much. The 1000 taels can be regarded as the fact that I have made friends with Eunuch. If there is anything in the palace that I am interested in, Eunuch It would be enough if you can let me know in advance, I don't know what the father-in-law thinks?"

Only then did Li Jinzhong understand that the new Lord Marquis had a lot of feelings, so he began to want to put his eyeliner in the palace.

Seeing Li Jinzhong's hesitation, Jiang Chuan knew that he understood what he meant, and he was not in a hurry, and said lightly: "Elder-in-law, Ming people don't speak dark words, I think you can see that the world is already in turmoil, and the troubled times will To. My father-in-law is a smart person, and smart people know how to find a way out for themselves. In troubled times, your father-in-law should be very clear about who can be your way out. If your father-in-law has concerns, it’s okay, you still take the 1000 taels. Shanshui will meet again in the future, maybe that day we will meet again."

These words are a bit of a reminder, but also a threat to induce, and Jiang Chuan's words are clear enough, it depends on Li Jinzhong's choice.

Li Jinzhong looked at the 1000 taels of silver in his hand, then at Jiang Chuan who was next to him with a calm smile on his face, and then at the cold and serious generals, gritted his teeth, and said cruelly: "Master Hou takes care of our family. I don’t know how to flatter. In the future, our family will try our best to serve Lord Hou, and we only hope that Lord Hou can protect our family in the future.”

Jiang Chuan laughed, patted Li Jinzhong on the shoulder and said, "Eunuch is indeed decisive, smart enough, and will become a big event in the future. Eunuch can leave a token, and someone will contact him when he returns to the capital."

Li Jinzhong had already expressed his position at this time, and he was no longer coy. He tore off a wooden pendant of Guanyin Bodhisattva from his neck and handed it to Jiang Chuan: "Master Hou, this is what our family has carried since childhood. Before we entered the palace, we prayed for our family from the temple, saying that it would keep us safe. If we hold this thing in the future, our family will know that it is Lord Hou’s.”

Jiang Chuan glanced at the wooden pendant in his hand, but it was very old. It seemed to be something old. He knew that Li Jinzhong's words should be true, so he put it away.

"Eunuch, is there still an imperial decree to announce?"

The two became an alliance, and Li Jinzhong didn't hide it when he saw Jiang Chuan's question. He nodded and said, "This is an imperial decree from His Majesty to Governor Yuan to return to Beijing overnight. The two rebels, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, turned against each other again." Well, Your Majesty is waiting for Governor Yuan to go back to quell the chaos. From now on, Liaodong can only count on Lord Hou."

Li Jinzhong's words confirmed the information sent by Bai Jinxiu, and the emperor was really anxious.

However, Jiang Chuan didn't intend to let Li Jinzhong go to announce the decree now, otherwise Yuan Chonghuan knew that he would become a courtier of the Ming Dynasty just like him. Although it was in name, it would be ugly to start.Jiang Chuan was still thinking about Yuan Chonghuan's men and property, how could he let him go so easily.

"Eunuch, look, it's getting dark now, Governor Yuan may have gone to bed. Why don't you rest in the Marquis's army for a night, and then go to announce the decree tomorrow morning, okay?" Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"That's fine, our family will listen to Lord Hou's arrangements." Li Jinzhong thought for a while and nodded.

He has gone through so many things today, and he is already exhausted, and he doesn't want to go to Yuan Chonghuan in the middle of the night.Moreover, Jiang Chuan is still fighting with this man, if the Ming army accidentally injures himself, it will really be worth the loss.

Jiang Chuan smiled with satisfaction. It's good for this guy to listen to the greeting. If he doesn't listen to the greeting, he doesn't mind scaring him anymore.Immediately ordered Liu Ji to arrange for Li Jinzhong and others, and by the way, get some information out of Li Jinzhong's mouth.

Watching Li Jinzhong go out, the smile on Jiang Chuan's face disappeared, and he ordered: "The whole army is on alert, and be prepared for Yuan Chonghuan to break through at dawn, and make sure no one escapes."

"No!" All the generals in the tent took orders in unison.

　The first update arrives today, and it still starts at the fifth update.
