Li Laoer stayed in Tongzhou for a while and finally waited for Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong returned to Tongzhou with Wang Chengen, who came to announce the imperial edict. Li Laoer made such a great contribution, but was excluded by the ministers in the court and could not even enter the capital. However, this time Chongzhen sent Wang Chengen to Tongzhou to announce the imperial edict, which gave Li Laoer a face.

Li Laoer and others set up incense tables, Wang Chengen promulgated the imperial edict, and Emperor Chongzhen granted Li Laoer the official position of a general, asking him to return to the outside of the pass to deal with the Mongolians, and also gave Li Laoer the identity of recruiting envoys, so that it would be convenient to contact Lin Danhan.

Chongzhen was naturally very dissatisfied with Lin Dankhan's failure to send troops this time. The so-called official position to recruit envoys was actually proposed by the backstage officials of the Shanxi merchants. Speaking of which, they were also ill-intentioned. On the one hand, they accused Lin Dankhan of constantly making unreasonable demands to the Ming Dynasty and refused to send troops. On the other hand, they asked Li Laoer to go to the Chahar tribe. In fact, it was like a discord between Li Laoer and Lin Dankhan's relationship, hoping to kill people with a knife and use Lin Dankhan's hands to get rid of Li Laoer.

Even if Lin Danhan did not get rid of Li Laoer, the backstages of the Shanxi merchants in the court would trick Li Laoer from Chongzhen to issue an imperial edict, asking him to go to Guihua City to meet Tumote Khan.

Needless to say, Li Laoer and Lin Danhan robbed the caravans sent to the Tumot tribe by Shanxi merchants. They had already formed hatred with the Tumot people. If they went to Guihua City, what would happen? It is really hard to say.

However, Li Laoer also had considerable experience in political struggles in his previous life, and he could still see through these conspiracies and tricks of the Chinese officials in the court.

After Wang Chengen left, Sun Chengzong sighed and said with great regret: "General Li, I have tried my best. The court still refuses to let you go back to the Ming Dynasty. I can't do anything. But what General Li wants, I will definitely help. By the way, Xu Xuanhu and Sun Chuyang from the capital heard about the field cannons built by General Li, and insisted on coming to Tongzhou to see you. They have already arrived at the workshop first and are checking the craftsmen casting cannons."

When he heard that Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were both here, Li Laoer hurriedly said to Sun Chengzong and rushed to the workshop like flying.

When I arrived at the Blacksmith's House, I saw a large group of people standing in the yard, with red and green clothes. Although Li Laoer was very familiar with these two people in his previous life and had seen portraits, the difference between the portrait and the real person was still very big. Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua stood among a group of officials, and Li Laoer could not recognize them.

When Li Laoer saw that two officials stood in front of the three-pound field cannon he had cast, they observed carefully, stroked him, and even stretched his head to the muzzle to see what was going on.

One of them was wearing a big red official robe and about seventy years old and exclaimed: "After listening to what Master Sun said, I didn't believe it at first. When I saw it today, it was indeed a clever craftsman! This is the first time I have seen such exquisite artillery! Compared with the cannons cast by Folang Jiren, the craftsmanship is above them!"

Another official, about fifty years old, looked at the new blast furnace with interest after seeing the cannon. Seeing a craftsman shaking the blower to deliver air to the blast furnace, the official walked up and signaled the craftsman to move aside. He also shook the handle a few times himself, then smiled and touched his beard and said, "It's amazing. With a swaying light, this thing can blow such strong wind."

The official walked to three grinders that were grinding gun barrels and asked the craftsmen about everything.

When the craftsman Liu San's uncle saw Li Lao Er coming in, he quickly turned around and saluted the group of officials and said, "Dear Shangguan, the General Li you are looking for is here."

When he heard that General Li was coming, the seventy-year-old and the fifty-year-old official quickly turned around and saw a handsome young man about seventeen or eighteen years old standing behind him. There were several burly men guarding him behind him. The two officials had already guessed in their hearts that the person coming must be Li Laoer.

Li Laoer was also a wise man. When he saw two officials wearing big red official robes, the official robe of the seventy years old had a patch embroidered with a pheasant in front of the black gauze, and a piece of white jade was inlaid in the middle of the black gauze. This was the usual outfit of the second-rank official robe of the court. The officials around fifty years old were wearing fourth-rank official robes and shaved crowns on their heads. Li Laoer knew in his heart that these two must be Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, so he hurried forward and walked ten feet away from the two officials, and bowed to the two: "I will only meet the two Shangguans."

"You are Li Laoer! Hahaha!" The official in his seventies touched his gray beard and laughed.

The official, who was about fifty years old, walked up and helped Li Lao Er up: "General Li is so polite! This official is Sun Yuanhua, the doctor of the Ministry of War." Then he pointed to the elderly official next to him and introduced: "This is Xu Getai, the Minister of Rites."

Xu Guangqi also walked up and looked at Li Laoer with a smile: "I didn't expect that General Li was not only resourceful, but also defeated Jiannu repeatedly, but also could supervise such a magical weapon! He is really a pillar of the Ming Dynasty! This time, General Sun went to Beijing and recommended General Li to follow him to Shanhaiguan, but he was reluctant to let him go. Later, General Sun talked to his official about this time, and I was also curious and rushed here. Seeing this cannon and the blast furnace today was really a trick!"

Sun Yuanhua exclaimed: "General Li is so young that he can lead troops to fight and cast artillery for the court. He is really a versatile talent in civil and military affairs!"

Back at Sun Chengzong's governor's office, the two officials asked without shame, put down their airs, pulled Li Laoer and asked endlessly, wishing they could learn all the ways to cast Li Laoer's cannons and improve ammunition.

Sun Chengzong suddenly asked, "Didn't your good nephew have never had a word for a word?"

"When I return to the commander, I have no words to express myself at the end."

"Then I will give you a good name to my nephew. Such a versatile person should be a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Then I will call you, Guodong, a nephew!" Sun Chengzong looked at Li Laoer with a smile.

Li Laoer quickly saluted and said, "Thank you for your words from the Supervisor! I am willing to die for the Supervisor!"

"My nephew Guodong, although I have not been able to help this time, I hope that when you return to the outside of the pass, you will still be able to hold the Ming Dynasty and serve the court! As long as you make another military achievements, I will definitely recommend the nephew as a general. When you return to the Ming Dynasty, no one in the court dares to criticize it!"

"The general has already thought about it. Since the imperial court wants the general to go to Chahar and to naturalize, the general will go. Lin Danhan will not worry, and he will not make things difficult for the general. As for the Tumotes, the general will also find a way to win over them. The general will find a way to let the Mongolians in the northern desert, the Tumotes and the Chahar Mongolia join forces to deal with Jiannu!"

"My nephew, be careful! Remember, if you can avoid going to Naturalization, try not to go! This time, the Tumotes also followed Jiannu to invade the Ming Dynasty, and there are probably many that are in your hands? This deadly revenge has been formed, and it is difficult to resolve!"
