A decree was passed down, and Wang Chengen, the supervisor of the Beijing camp, was promoted to the admiral of the East Factory.
As soon as this decree came out, many people were surprised.
Wang Chengen had only been out of the inner study hall for a few years, and his previous promotions had already impressed people.
He didn't expect that he would be in charge of the East Factory just now.
This news was a great stimulus to some young eunuchs.
They seemed to have been beaten to death, and they all wanted to perform better.
In this case, what if they could become Wang Chengen's second best?
For Cao Huachun, this news is also good news.
No matter what his relationship with Wang Chengen is, one thing cannot change the fact that after Wang Chengen came out of the inner study hall, he was named under his name and was considered a member of his lineage.
Now that Wang Cheng'en is taking over from him and taking charge of the East Factory, it shows that the emperor transferred him to be the Supervisor of Rites and Chief of the Eunuchs, not because he suspected that he would have any bad intentions in controlling the East Factory.
For other eunuchs, this news allowed them to fully see the benefits of working hard in front of the emperor.
No, Cao Huachun and his godson are now in important positions.
This holy favor is very strong.
These people who served Emperor Chongzhen all wanted to perform well in order to attract the emperor's attention and importance.
On the contrary, those who served the slave chief Amin on the Korean Peninsula were all frightened.
As the time limit for Amin's order was approaching, these people wanted to disappear immediately in front of Amin, so as not to cause Amin's anger. sensitive attention.
Amin has been getting no effective reward for a long time, and has become more and more irritable.
So when the North Korean envoy came to ask for a reduction in food tribute again, Amin hung him up and beat him severely.
Near dusk, several Jianlu soldiers finally rushed into Amin's mansion in a state of embarrassment and reported the latest military information they had obtained.
"Master, it's the Ming army.
It's the Ming army that ambushed us," the leader reported breathlessly.
"About 400 Ming troops and many broken Korean soldiers besieged a group of exploration horses.
They happened to be hit by the slaves and fought desperately.
Was able to withdraw."
"Impossible."
When Amin heard this, his face was full of disbelief, and he said a little ferociously, "The detective horses sent out are all in groups of fifty.
Including your team, there are more than a hundred people.
With the 400 Dongjiang Ming Army alone, How could we be your opponent when we defeated North Korea?"
He wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.
With the little fighting power of the Dongjiang Ming Army, even if Dajin Tanma was outnumbered, all he needed to do was shoot a round of bows and arrows and kill the Ming Army's front rowers, and the rest would surely scatter. flight.
This kind of thing happened often even during Mao Wenlong's time.
"Master, the Ming army is different this time.
Their morale is very high, and they even want to encircle and annihilate us.
Therefore, the troops are separated and the slaves are allowed to withdraw."
The man quickly explained.
When Amin heard this, he thought he was making excuses to escape the blame.
Just when he was about to get angry, another team came back to report.
"Master, I captured some defeated Korean troops.
After interrogation, I learned that high-ranking officials from the Ming Dynasty came over and brought many Ming troops to hide in the mountains.
The last food protection army was ambushed by the Ming army.
Those grains, They all took it away."
After this man finished speaking, he even brought the Korean soldiers he had interrogated so that Amin could interrogate them personally.
Amin didn't care about losing his temper, and quickly interrogated him personally.
Combined with the intelligence from several teams of detectives, he finally let him know some of the situation.
As expected, the Dongjiang Ming Army joined in.

As for the high-ranking officials, they were just the few Ming generals on Pi Island.
Grabbing food, haha, I had long expected that they would also be short of food, but these bright dogs still didn’t leave.
It seems that the food shortage is very serious.
None of the thousands of food-protecting troops could come back.
They were probably filled with people, and they were also hungry.
The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry.
Amin thought about it, and a plan suddenly emerged.
If you don't want food, then I'll give you food.
At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng also received a report saying that when he ambushed Jianlu and Tanma, some of them escaped.
When Wei Mulan heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the news will leak out sooner or later, it is expected.
Now we are in the dark, and Jianlu is in the light.
In this case, Jianlu can only strengthen their defenses, and they can't do anything to us.
Wait and see what the Jianlu's movements are.
If possible, we can use the guerrilla tactics instructed by His Majesty to eat these Jianluo one by one."
In the past, Lu Xiangsheng never thought that he could kill 10,000 Jianlu with only 2,000 troops.
This kind of thing is simply impossible to imagine when the elite level is not as good as Jianlu.
But now, he understood the guerrilla tactics that Emperor Chongzhen told him, relying on Korean volunteers and hiding in the dark, he had already killed 1,400 to 500 Jian captives.
If Jianlu doesn't have a long memory and continues to send out small teams, he will eat them again and accumulate small victories into big victories.
While they were talking, another urgent report suddenly arrived, saying that Jianlu was arresting Koreans everywhere to repair officialdom and was preparing to transport the remaining grain to Yiju.
As for the slave chief Amin himself, he agreed to North Korea's request to reduce the food supply.
He led the troops and waited for the food escorted by North Korea to arrive before returning to Liaodong.
As soon as he heard the word "food", Lu Xiangsheng's eyes gleamed.
But Jianlu dared to divide his troops like this even though he knew that a thousand grain protection troops had been wiped out.
He must have some countermeasures.
Although Lu Xiangsheng cared about the food, he was also very cautious and immediately ordered another investigation to find out the specific information.
At the same time, in a remote house far away in northern Shaanxi, a group of people were also having secret conversations.
"This is a meeting gift from my brother to everyone," a strong man said, then lifted up the black cloth on the table, revealing an ingot of silver underneath, a total of twenty ingots.
The group of people sitting around the table were all wearing the military robes of Ming army soldiers, but they were heavily patched, and there were even a few holes that were not patched.
It was obvious that their living conditions were very poor.
When they saw the silver, their eyes suddenly lit up, but looking at the two similar-looking people sitting at the table, they saw that they didn't speak, so they could only keep silent.
"It's inconvenient to carry, it's just a small point."
The strong man looked at the people at the table in front of him and said, "My brother said that Brother Shen is much more capable than my brother.
Now my brother eats meat in large chunks and in big bowls You don’t need to be scorned when you drink.
If Brother Zi Zi is willing to join us, my brother is willing to give up his position."
Hearing this, the older man across from him was obviously a little tempted.
But the younger one frowned and said, "Don't just say nice things.
What happened to you Wang Jiayin?
You want to encourage my two brothers to lead a rebellion with their comrades":
