~9 min read 1,708 words

Half a month later, the transfer order arrived in Korea.

When they learned that Feng Tang was enfeoffed as Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness and Jia Jue as Earl of Loyalty and Martial Arts, many generals in the army were envious.

Because everyone knew that Feng Tang only did three things when he came to Korea: keep playing music, keep dancing, and by the way, open the door and release Jia Jue!

But the problem was that Zhang Cheng was truly capable of fighting; 150,000 Japanese pirates had fought their way to Liujing, only to be pressed down by him and beaten all the way back to Busan, and by the way, he annihilated them all!

Even the Jurchen Tatars who came to take advantage were beaten in Anzhou, suffering more than half losses, and even Nurhaci's seven sons were gone.

Now it was rumored in the army that Zhang Cheng gave up on the Bordered White Banner and the Bordered White Banner mainly because he was restrained by these Beile; if he didn't want to kill these people, then the Bordered White Banner and the Bordered White Banner would probably have lost another banner!

Looking at the eunuch who came to announce the decree, Zhang Cheng immediately stepped forward with a smile to receive it, then said: "You have worked hard, Eunuch, please come into the mansion to rest!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng casually stuffed a few expensive pearls into his palm.

Touching the items in his hand, the eunuch immediately smiled and said: "Earl Jia is truly thoughtful; I happen to be tired!"

Walking into the mansion, many happy generals were already making a racket.

Watching everyone's state, Zhang Cheng hurriedly returned the salute.

Walking into the main room, the eunuch said with a smile: "Earl Jia, the Old Ancestor once told me that His Majesty and the Retired Emperor are very satisfied with your performance; perhaps they might keep you in the capital!"

Hearing the eunuch's words, Zhang Cheng smiled: "May I ask who the Old Ancestor is?"

"My Old Ancestor is the Grand Eunuch of the Six Palaces!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng meaningfully, the eunuch smiled.

"So it is Grand Eunuch Xia! Then we are our own people, our own people!"

Looking at the young eunuch with a smile, Zhang Cheng hurriedly beckoned: "Brother Wei, bring some Korean specialties for this Angel!"

"Yes, Uncle!"

After walking out the door, Jia Wei returned shortly after, placed a jewelry box on the table, and left.

"Earl Jia, this is?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with curiosity, the young eunuch was somewhat surprised.

"These are specialties I collected in Korea; I suppose you haven't seen them before! They are just some vulgar items!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng opened the box and handed it to the other party.

And just as the young eunuch saw the items inside the box, he could not help but gasp.

Because these were actually all priceless pearls, each one worth more than a hundred taels in Great Qian.

"Earl Jia, isn't this too..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, the young eunuch did not dare to accept it, because there was simply too much!

Patting the back of the other's hand, Zhang Cheng smiled: "The Angel has worked hard all the way here; it's just a mere specialty. You don't say, I don't say, who would know? Right!"

"Also, this is a gift I have for Grand Eunuch Xia; please trouble you to take it back together!"

After saying this, Zhang Cheng opened the box to the side, which was filled with neatly arranged jewelry!

"Earl Jia is truly one of our own!"

Watching this scene, Eunuch Luo immediately smiled.

"I still don't know your name, Eunuch? When I enter the capital in the future, we can all reminisce!"

Looking at the young eunuch, Zhang Cheng asked with a smile.

"I have a single name, Luo! The Earl can just call me Little Luo!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Eunuch Luo did not dare to be arrogant, because this was a true wealthy patron!

"Then in the capital in the future, I will have to trouble Eunuch Luo a lot!"

Looking at Eunuch Luo with a smile, Zhang Cheng smiled.

He did not hate eunuchs, because in this day and age, as long as one could survive, who would want to cut off their roots and enter the palace!

Of course, this did not exclude the possibility of figures like Wei Zhongxian appearing!

Because before Wei Zhongxian entered the palace, his name was Li Jin Zhong; it was because he was a degenerate gambler who lost his wife and daughter, and finally, to avoid debt, he cut himself and entered!

So, there is no gambler who loses every day, and no child who cries every day; if you lose everything gambling, you can just enter the palace! Isn't the example right in front of everyone?

A month later, the Korean army began to withdraw.

Looking at Feng Tang with reluctance, the King of Korea almost hugged his sleeve and begged him not to leave.

Because if the army of the Heavenly Dynasty left, what would they do if the Tatars came back?

Watching the King of Korea's state, Feng Tang could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth, because this King of Korea was truly too outrageous.

Everyone should just act out a play at the dinner table; they were about to leave, so why send him so many women? The eunuch from the imperial court was still there!

Looking at the women lining up to board the ship, Eunuch Luo also said suspiciously: "Who are these?"

"These are all palace maids selected by General Feng for His Majesty, absolutely very moist..." Stuffing the silver notes into Eunuch Luo's hand, Zhang Cheng could not help but wipe his cold sweat.

Because this Feng Tang really didn't treat eunuchs as human beings, and he wasn't even afraid of the civil officials finding out and causing trouble for him!

Feng Tang: He is framing me, he is framing me, did you see that?

Zhang Cheng:...

The fleet left Korea and headed all the way to the Jingu Port, not returning to Liaodong.

Zhang Cheng guessed that Emperor Hongde intended to use these 20,000 troops who had participated in the Korean War to form a new capital battalion.

After all, the current military power was all in the hands of the Retired Emperor; otherwise, he would not have used this opportunity to transfer troops into the capital.

However, Zhang Cheng did not understand the affairs of the imperial court, because he had not yet participated in them.

But since the Retired Emperor allowed this matter, it was very likely that both sides had reached some kind of agreement.

And what Zhang Cheng did not know was that the Retired Emperor did not stop it because he regarded Zhang Cheng as his own man, and Emperor Hongde was the same!

Both sides thought Zhang Cheng would listen to their orders, so they never thought that he, Zhang Mou, had 99 pounds of rebellious bones in his 100-pound body.

And Shi Hu, who was once asked by him to guard the gate, was the best example!

Shi Hu:...

Zhang Cheng: If I don't rebel, how can I show the importance of my gate-guarding general?

Ran Min: What he said seems to make some sense!

Lu Yan: Oh, you thief, he is crazy, are you crazy too?

In Shuntian Prefecture, the capital,

As victorious soldiers returning, they still walked through the Desheng Gate!

The dragon flags were fluttering, waving in the wind.

Riding on his warhorse, Zhang Cheng looked at Emperor Hongde welcoming them at the city gate, and he could not help but squint his eyes.

Because long before he came, he had heard that the Emperor would come in person. Raising his arm, Zhang Cheng signaled the Recruitment Camp behind him to set up their formation.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Neat footsteps stepped on the ground, and the earth began to shake.

Looking at the battle-hardened soldiers before him, Emperor Hongde could not help but become excited, his hands clenching into fists.

Because at this moment, he finally understood why the Retired Emperor wanted to hold military power tightly; because if he had such power, how would those in the Longshou Palace dare to point fingers at him?

"Great Qian, ten thousand victories!"

Raising his head, Zhang Cheng looked into the distance and roared.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Heroic voices rang out, and under the terrifying momentum, the army began to enter the capital.

Looking at the scene below with excitement, Emperor Hongde grasped the Empress's hand and said: "Zitong, do you see? These are my troops!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, these are all yours!"

Hearing Emperor Hongde's words, the Empress also became gentle.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Just as the soldiers' voices rang out, the common people also shouted "long live" like mountains.

Draped in civil and military robes and wearing black armor, Zhang Cheng passed through the city gate, and facing him were countless common people watching on the avenues on both sides.

"The general has returned, the general has returned!"

Looking at the fierce soldiers before them, many women on the city towers were scattering flowers, and some were even throwing their personal belongings.

Facing all this, Zhang Cheng looked around with a smile, his face filled with warmth.

"Is that Brother Jue? He is truly a young hero rarely seen in a hundred years!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Jia She looked at the other party, his eyes revealing disbelief.

And another person looking at Zhang Cheng was Jia Zheng, but looking at this young talent, what he thought of was going back and beating that degenerate to death!

Jia Baoyu:...

"Miss? He seems to be looking at us!"

Hiding in a room in an inn, Ruizhu, who had opened the window, looked at Zhang Cheng waving and exclaimed.

Covering her lips with a handkerchief, the fairy-like Qin Keqing hurriedly looked over.

But just at this moment, she saw a brilliant face looking at this place.
