Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

I heard that my old mother passed away.

Mao Wenlong felt a pain in his heart.

It was that sudden feeling, like being pricked by a needle.

Suddenly there was a sharp pain.

This made Mao Wenlong cover his chest immediately.

His face turned pale in an instant and sweat broke out on his forehead.

This is the original body's obsession at work.

It was soon suppressed by Mao Wenlong's will.

Then Mao Wenlong said: "My uncle and aunt are gone, my eldest cousin Shen Xikui also died young, and now my mother is gone too!

My second cousin is the only relative I have left. Where is my second cousin Shen Xibi? Should he be okay?"

Mao Wenlong had just finished speaking.

Only Shen Quan and Mao Chenglu were seen behind him.

A young man with a white face, no beard, a slender figure, and dressed like a scholar stood out from the crowd.

He said respectfully to Mao Wenlong: "Shen Xibi greets my brother. Xibi failed to take good care of my aunt. Please punish me..."

Well, here comes another one asking for apology!

This cousin is more than 10 years younger than Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong is now over 50 years old.

This cousin is not even 30 years old.

And the two are also very different in appearance.

Shen Xibi has the image of a handsome scholar.

Mao Wenlong was a big, strong man with a dark face and silver teeth.

However, in comparison, Shen Xibi seems too weak.

Although Mao Wenlong is not young anymore.

But he looked vigorous and energetic...

Mao Wenlong: "How can you be blamed for this? My mother is already old, and she has been frightened many times and has been displaced along the way.

This is all Zhennan's fault. He frightened his elderly mother and made her suffer from displacement, which eventually led to her death in a foreign land. It's all my fault!"

(Mao Wenlong, courtesy name Zhennan)

Shen Xibi: "Brother, please don't say that. When my father was alive, he often said that you had the ambition to swallow up mountains and rivers, but you never met a wise leader, which is why you have been trapped in the shallow sea.

This time my brother has decided to establish himself and break away from the Ming Dynasty. Without any constraints, he will surely achieve great things in the future..."

Mao Wenlong just asked Shen Quan and others to pick someone up.

He did not let them tell their cousin and mother about their separation from the Ming court.

And now my cousin Shen Xibi already knows the situation.

Mao Wenlong looked at Mao Chenglu.

Mao Chenglu said quickly: "Father, we did not tell the old lady and Mr. Shen about this matter, but the old lady asked us again and again before she died.

The child had no choice but to tell the old lady the truth, but the old lady did not blame my father..."

Mao Wenlong: "Okay, let's go back to Seoul first, and we'll talk about other things later..."

If Mao Wenlong remembers correctly.

His cousin is Shen Xibi.

In the original history, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty court.

He even served as an official and reached the position of county magistrate.

The civil servants in the early days of the Qing Dynasty certainly lacked courage and integrity.

It’s hard to say what the ability is.

But one thing is almost certain - this guy will most likely become a corrupt official in the future.

So, as to how to arrange this guy.

Mao Wenlong had a headache for a while...

……

Shen Xibi is just the opposite.

Learned that Mao Wenlong had occupied the Korean Peninsula.

Moreover, Mao Wenlong had a strong army under his command.

The Later Jin Tartars were driven to the north of the Yalu River.

The Later Jin Tartars, who were famous for their bravery and fighting skills, were actually unable to do anything to him.

If things continue to develop like this.

Mao Wenlong will be able to replace the Later Jin sooner or later.

They even became more powerful than the Later Jin Tatars.

Shen Xibi thought to himself that he was Mao Wenlong's closest relative.

In the future, he will definitely be a high-ranking official with enormous power.

At the same time, I was also thinking about what would happen after arriving in Seoul.

What kind of good position would Mao Wenlong arrange for him?

As a result, the ideal is very good, but the reality is very skinny!

After returning to Seoul.

Mao Wenlong buried his old mother's body.

Turning back, he asked Shen Xibi directly: "Do you want to be a rich man in peace, or do you want to pursue a career in politics?"

Shen Xibi: "Brother, your business is just starting and you need people right now. I want to pursue a career in government and hope I can help you a little."

Mao Wenlong: "You can pursue a career in politics, but I won't give you any preferential treatment. Everything will depend on your ability.

And because of our special relationship, you should set a good example for others, so if you want to pursue a career in government, you can only start as a minor official."

Who is Xiaoli?

Why start with Xiaoli?

Shen Xibi was completely confused when he heard this, and didn't even think about the petty official.

Then Mao Wenlong said: "Don't underestimate the grassroots officials. They can get in touch with the people at the bottom and see the most real problems.

It will be very helpful for you to gain experience as a grassroots official in your future career. Apart from anything else, you must believe that I will definitely not harm you..."

A grassroots official?

Shen Xibi finally reacted this time.

I felt very unbelievable.

Mao Wenlong actually let him be a grassroots official?

I was thinking about how to convince Mao Wenlong.

Let Mao Wenlong arrange a good position for him.

Mao Wenlong then said, "My cousin, you are quite sensible. If you have no objection, then this matter will be settled.

There is a small town in the south of Seoul, where there is a shortage of officials. You can go there and be a minor official! I have high hopes for you. Please work hard..."

Then Mao Wenlong didn't wait for Shen Xibi to respond

Just turned around and went to do other things.

Only Shen Xibi was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

Who said I have no opinions?

I have a huge opinion!

But, could you give me a chance to express my opinion?

You said that and just turned around and left.

Mao Wenlong, what do you mean?

——Of course, Shen Xibi only dared to think about these words in his heart.

Then she acted like a wronged young wife.

According to Mao Wenlong's arrangement.

Start from the grassroots level...

……

Shen Quan, Mao Chenglu and others.

A few days after returning to the Korean Peninsula.

Mao Wenlong once again welcomed the envoys from the Ming court.

Because Mao Wenlong never openly raised the flag of rebellion.

He did not claim to be king after conquering the Korean Peninsula.

Instead, he was busy training his troops and building bases.

So the Ming court kept discussing this.

Finally it was decided to send an envoy.

Let’s test Mao Wenlong’s attitude.

Emperor Chongzhen really had good intentions.

In order to avoid becoming enemies with Mao Wenlong.

The envoy sent by the court this time was actually Wang Huazhen, who had just been released from prison.

Because Wang Huazhen was Mao Wenlong's former superior.

He took good care of and supported Mao Wenlong.

Wang Huazhen was waiting to die in prison.

Just like that, he made a gorgeous turn and became the envoy to the Korean Peninsula...

Another important figure in the messenger team.

It was Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was a close confidant of Emperor Chongzhen.

After Mao Wenlong received the report.

Looked at the list of members of the envoy team.

I know what Emperor Chongzhen is planning...
