Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1765 Aid Korea and Anti-Japanese ([-]) Ancestor Chengxun Enters the Dynasty

On the side of the Daming capital, Gao Wuguan followed his brother's wishes and quietly went to Ningyuan Bo's mansion to meet Li Chengliang that night. The two met for about half an hour.

Immediately afterwards, Ningyuan Bofu sent three people and six horses to go out to the vicinity of Dongzhimen in the northeast direction of Beicheng, and wandered under a big ginkgo tree in the south of Wuyue Temple.

Not long after, Da Dang, who was dressed in Jinyiwei Feiyu suit, came with a few subordinates, the two chatted a little, and went straight to Dongzhimen regardless of the curfew or not.Relying on the badge of Jinyiwei Qianhu, three people and six riders from Ningyuan Bo's Mansion quickly left the city and galloped all the way to the northeast.

"It's strange, how could Master Hou give such convenience to Uncle Ning Yuan's residence? Qianrong, do you think..." A fan asked wonderingly looking at the back of the man who disappeared into the distance.

"Damn it, shut up quickly!" The thousand households glared at Fanzi and warned, "Is this something we should and can ask? Take care of your beak, if today's Leak half a word of the incident, be careful with your skin!"

Fanzi flinched in fright, and hurriedly said: "Isn't there no one here... Ugh, what Qian Rong said is right, we are going out to watch the night tonight, just in case... that spy sent by Yang Yinglong."

"It's good to understand, if you don't understand, I will let you remember now." Qian Rong glared at him again, and then greeted everyone: "Okay, everyone has already come out, and you can't make a trip in vain , Lord will take you guys to have some fun... You can pick one from the weaving hall and the casino!"

All the Jin Yiwei cheered for a while, and offered advice and suggestions one after another.

It has to be said that although Li Chengliang has become an official, as the real patriarch of the Li family in Tieling, even if Li Rusong himself is a famous general of a generation, he still cannot disobey his father's control.

It wasn't until the three men and six horses arrived in Guangning that Li Rusong was truly "financially untied", and immediately had money to reward his subordinates and prepare to go out.But at this moment, the vanguard army of the Liaodong army to aid North Korea has actually gone for more than half a month, and it can almost be seen as out of touch with the army-this may be the opposite, it should be said that the army delayed for too long, making the vanguard essentially became a lone army.

In mid-September, led by Dai Chaobian, the right officer general of Jinyi, and Shi Ru, the guerrilla general of Qiantun, the Liaodong Army first crossed the Yalu River and arrived in North Korea. Li Hengfu, the Korean military judge, heard about it and rushed to meet him in person.

Li Hengfu repeatedly asked the Ming army to go south immediately to expel the Japanese pirates, while Dai Chaobian insisted that he had to wait for the whole army to gather before leaving.

Dai Chaobian was very firm on this point, and said to Li Hengfu: "Ningyuan General Guo Mengzheng and Zhenwubao Guerrilla General Wang Shouguan's troops of the Second Route Army that I aided the DPRK have already set out, and the Deputy Chief Rong is about to arrive in Dandong. Don't act rashly. The Ming army is strictly disciplined, and it may be inconvenient. If there is any offense, I ask the soldiers to be more considerate."

Li Hengfu was impatient, and urged the two generals: "The war opportunity is fleeting, and the king is looking forward to your help day and night. Now the Japanese pirates are not only exhausted from long-term fighting, but also have a weak footing. As long as the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will surely win the battle."

Dai Chaobian frowned and didn't want to talk to him, Shi Ru, the guerrilla general, had no choice but to take over the conversation, saying: "Don't lie about the sentence, my commander's military order is like a mountain, we can only obey the command of the general. Besides, before we came here, we didn't hear the need Respect North Korea's command, so forgive me for not obeying the words of the military judgment."

Li Hengfu felt uneasy when he heard that he could not follow North Korea's command: "Ah... this, the heavenly soldiers assisted in the suppression, and North Korea was the host. They must have a good grasp of the situation of the Japanese pirates and the dangerous terrain. It should be North Korea that leads the war."

Dai Chaobian said flatly: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, North Korea is my vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, so I ask the upper kingdom for rescue, and naturally I also ask for instructions on combat matters. And I heard that North Korea is still difficult to judge the strength of the Japanese pirates, and There is a shortage of food. Under such circumstances, how can the general call himself to attack rashly?"

Immediately afterwards, Shi Ru made another stab, and said: "Moreover, the North Korean army was defeated and fled in all directions, and none of them survived. According to this general, in the next battle, I am afraid that your country will be the one to help the suppression." ?”

Li Hengfu's heart was bleeding when he heard it, and he was extremely unwilling, but he really didn't dare to offend the two of them easily, so he kept silent.

The next day, participating general Guo Mengzheng, guerrilla general Wang Shouguan, and Liaodong deputy commander Zu Chengxun led their troops to North Korea to join Dai Chaobian and Shi Ru.

So far, the Liaodong soldiers have dispatched a total of 340 troops, 620 horses, and more than [-] cannons. Logistics scheduling.

Here is a supplementary statement, Zu Chengxun is now "the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong", and Xiao Ruxun is the official deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong.This situation is actually quite special, because not long ago, most of the rewards for the battle of cutting down the yuan came down (the rewards were not fully in place), and Zu Chengxun was supposed to be promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief because of his meritorious service, but because he immediately sent troops The aid of the court came, so the court temporarily gave him a false job, and only put his rank in Liaodong first, and then looked at it in the future.

Zu Chengxun, as the vanguard general who aided the DPRK this time, and already has the rank of deputy commander in chief, so he has the four major decision-making powers of war, peace, action, and stop, and his status is not as high as the previous two generals Dai and Shi.Therefore, Liu Chenglong, the governor of the North Korean government, and Jin Mingyuan, the commander of the capital, were immediately ordered to work in the army.

Jin Mingyuan thanked first in accordance with the etiquette: "The long drought meets the rain, and the grace of the country to rescue will never be forgotten."

Zu Chengxun clasped his fists in return: "Marshal Du is serious. North Korea is a country fenced by the Ming Dynasty. Since it is in trouble, how can there be no reason to save it? I will go all out to conquer Pyongyang first this time to stabilize the hearts of North Korean soldiers and civilians."

Jin Mingyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still had to maintain the etiquette on face, so he said quickly: "You generals are exhausted, you should rest for a whole day to recharge your batteries, and my king will also entertain the general. "

Zu Chengxun pretended to ponder for a while, and then said: "Marshal Du's statement is also reasonable, just a few days ago, I received a letter from Nurhachi, the commander of the left guard in Jianzhou, saying that since my commander sent troops, why would he not accept it?" Therefore, he has repeatedly stated that he will devote all his troops to fight for the Ming Dynasty... oh, and also do something within his ability for the restoration of Korea."

When Jin Mingyuan heard this, he was so frightened that the three souls lost their seven souls, and he hurriedly said: "The soldiers from tomorrow are enough to wipe out the Japanese pirates, so there is no need for Nurhachi to come!"

"Really?" Zu Chengxun frowned, and said: "If Nurhachi doesn't come, the general here will not have enough troops, so it's not easy to set off immediately, at least we have to wait until we find out the information about Pyongyang..."

Jin Mingyuan faltered immediately, hesitant to speak.There is actually a reason for his behavior like this. First of all, he did not let Nurhachi come, because the relationship between North Korea and the Jurchen has always been at odds, and the two sides have many historical issues (this is really too troublesome to explain clearly, no one Ten to twenty thousand words may not work out, interested readers can find information to find out by themselves).

But to put it simply, the two sides have fought a tug-of-war near the Tumen River for almost 200 years. Among them, after the rise of Nurhachi, there were some discords and conflicts with North Korea. There were a few small fights, and there were winners and losers-really There are winners and losers.

North Korea’s Northern Frontier Army is its only strong army, and its strength is far superior to that of Nurhachi a few years ago. In addition, Nurhachi does not regard North Korea as a real enemy, and never uses the main force to fight against North Korea. There is a disparity of more than one enemy and five or more against the enemy, so the results of the two sides are almost the same.

Of course, North Korea also knows that Nurhachi has never really fought against itself, but two points are clear: first, there is no doubt that the relationship between the two parties is very poor; second, Nurhachi's real strength is very strong.

He is strong and hostile to himself, once he comes in full force, can he expect others to come to save him?Obviously impossible, burning, killing and looting are probably child's play, maybe they just hang on to it in the future.The North Korean ministers are not even very reassured by Daming, so how can they be reassured about Nurhachi!
But Zu Chengxun bound Nurhachi's coming to his own army, which made it difficult for North Korea. After all, North Korea's monarchs and ministers hoped that the Ming army would fight Japan as soon as possible.

That's right, it's about fighting early, not winning early.As for why, it is actually simple. What the North Korean monarchs and ministers are most afraid of now is that the Ming army took a look and felt that Japan's attack on North Korea had nothing to do with them, and then turned around and returned to Liaodong to defend themselves. Then North Korea would really be finished.

Therefore, the Ming army must fight Japan as early as possible, regardless of victory or defeat, they must fight quickly!It’s good to win, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing to lose—this is the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, the Kingdom of Heaven that will be wiped out for 200 years if you don’t obey!
Think about it, if Daming really suffered a defeat, wouldn't the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty be furious?At that time, an army of one million will come to North Korea, and Japan will have no way to survive!

This is the reason why the North Korean monarchs and ministers are now eager to let Zu Chengxun go south to attack Pyongyang immediately.

But Zu Chengxun is not stupid, not even reckless.His subordinates had already suffered losses in the battle against the Yuan Dynasty. The number of people brought this time was only five or six hundred, and the situation of the rest of the generals who followed was also similar to him. There are only more than 300 people in total.

Now the Japanese army's enemy situation is unclear, and even how many people there are. It is obviously very dangerous to attack Pyongyang rashly. Therefore, he deliberately put Nurhachi's request for battle, the purpose is to make North Korea refuse, and then he will take advantage of the situation. , first investigate clearly, and then consider where to go.

At this time, Jin Mingyuan had a flash of inspiration, and quickly said: "Whether or not to attack Pyongyang will naturally be determined by the Deputy Rong depending on the fighter. However, North Korea's hope for heavenly soldiers is like longing for rain after a long drought. If the soldiers are coming today, we still hope to take some action. It is appropriate to stabilize the hearts and minds of the North Korean people, but I wonder what the Vice-Rong will do?"

The stance of these words was very low, and even as the Marshal of North Korea, he didn't even mention the issue of command authority. It can be seen that he still has a more pragmatic attitude, which made Zu Chengxun feel more comfortable.

Zu Chengxun thought, all the cavalry I have led here are fine cavalry, as long as I don't rashly attack Pyongyang Jiancheng before the enemy's situation is unknown, there will be no hindrance to activities outside the city.

Therefore, Zu Chengxun agreed, saying that he would go south immediately to investigate the enemy's situation near Pyongyang. If the Japanese army was weak, he would take Pyongyang in one go. If he was prepared, it would depend on the situation.Jin Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, thanked again and again, and mentioned again that the king Li Yan wanted to entertain the generals of the Ming army.

Zu Chengxun politely declined: "Our army can rest for a while, please tell Your Highness that Zu Chengxun is very grateful for your kindness, but this general came here to drink the blood of the Japanese pirates, so the banquet will still be held in Pyongyang better."

Seeing Zu Chengxun's impassioned words, Liu Chenglong didn't know that Zu Chengxun had other worries, and thought that Zu Chengxun was really so powerful that he didn't pay attention to the Japanese army at all, and worried that his own food and grass supply would not be enough, so he asked Zu Chengxun first explained: "The deputy Rong came from a long way. It was previously agreed that the food and military supplies should be supplied by North Korea. But at present, only three or four days of military rations have been raised. I'm afraid...Of course, we will definitely make up as soon as possible."

Zu Chengxun felt that he was just talking anyway, and it didn't matter if he boasted a little bit, so he said indifferently: "The Lord of the House is bothering, it doesn't matter if we don't have enough funds, our army's military rations and follow-up rations can still last for three months, and there are other things. One hundred thousand dan of military rations, you don't have to worry about it."

Liu Chenglong was taken aback, and asked where there was still [-] shi of military rations. Zu Chengxun smiled and said: "It's in Pyongyang! I heard that when your king left Pyongyang, he failed to transport the military rations in time, and all the rations were captured by Japanese pirates. It's time to return it to its owner."

Although Liu Chenglong was extremely embarrassed when he heard this, he still hoped that the Ming army could win, so he advised: "The deputy army should not underestimate the enemy. The Japanese soldiers are elite and brave, and the iron cannons they hold are extremely powerful."

Now that he said so, Marshal Jin Mingyuan had no choice but to agree: "That's exactly the case. Our army was defeated by this iron cannon before. .”

Zu Chengxun couldn't stop laughing, pointed at his fine cavalry, and said: "The so-called iron cannon is just a blunderbuss, and its range is no more than a hundred paces. Our army has a thousand-pace artillery. What are you afraid of mere Japanese pirates?" Liu Chenglong When Jin Mingyuan saw that Zu Chengxun was so confident, he stopped talking.

Afterwards, Liu Chenglong transferred to Fenchao, and Mr. Gwanghae was about to leave Yongbyon, and chose another suitable place as the location of Fenchao, so that he could receive the eight memorials, so he asked Liu Chenglong.

Liu Chenglong was thinking, when he heard a person coming in from outside the door and suggested loudly: "Yichuan in Gangwon Province is more suitable, it is relatively in the center, and there is no Japanese pirate activity. It should be conducive to receiving eight news." Liu Chenglong took a closer look, this person is elegant and elegant , with piercing eyes, it turned out that Zuo was in favor of Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo was highly respected in North Korea, Lord Guanghai respected this old minister very much, so he took the initiative to ask Zheng Zhuo why he came here, Zheng Zhuo replied: "I am bored in Yizhou, so I applied to come here. With the magistrate here, I don’t have to come all the way from afar, it’s unnecessary.”

Liu Chenglong smiled and said: "That's wrong. I have to leave after the military ration matter. Now that Zuo Zan agrees to come, I can rest assured that I have your assistance in the Shizi Mansion."

Zheng Zhuo nodded, turned to Mr. Guanghai and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to fight the Japanese pirates to the end. Please don't cherish this old man, but it will be useful, just as you ordered." Mr. Guanghai thanked you.

So this time, compared to the Joseon king Li Yan who fled northward, Mr. Gwanghae led his courtiers to hide from the sentry posts in the enemy's line, and acted quietly, sending a notice to the scattered officials and rebels in the Eight Routes of Korea, calling for joint operations.At the same time, in order to prevent winter, it was difficult to raise funds for the secret distribution of the clothes of the subjects and soldiers, and the people's hearts began to tilt toward the separation.

However, as early as the beginning of the division of the dynasty, Jin Gui was worried that Mr. Guanghai would do his best to defend against the enemy and win the hearts of the people, which would not only threaten her and Mr. Xincheng's future status, but also worry that if Mr. So Xiang will force the king to abdicate, and Lord Guanghai will ascend the throne and become king.Therefore, she arranged in advance for her younger brother Jin Gongliang and a Shang Gong to stay in the Fen Dynasty, and report to herself at any time what Mr. Guanghai said and did.

Regarding the move of Mr. Guanghai to divide the dynasty and mobilize the people, Jin Guiren said to Li Yan: "Although His Highness ordered Mr. Guanghai to temporarily mobilize the army and the people for His Royal Highness, but he bears the ancestral card of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and he is in an area where the enemy is rampant. Walking inside is really too rash."

In Li Yan's view, this is not a question of "recklessness", but he doesn't know that Jin Guiren's words are covering up her original intention - she knows that what Li Yan cares about is not rashness, but power.

And just at this time, Du Chengzhi Jin Yingnan reported that the branch dynasty had left Yongbyon and was established in Icheon, Gangwon Province.After hearing this, Li Yan immediately summoned his courtiers to discuss.

As soon as the people arrived, Li Yan took the initiative to say to the ministers: "It was said in advance that major state affairs need to be decided by the widow, but the son did not discuss with the widow in advance, and moved the sub-dynasty to the enemy-occupied area without authorization. What's the difference?"

Yi Doshou replied: "When His Royal Highness established the sub-dynasties, he asked the crown prince to mobilize the officials and the people to overcome the national crisis on his behalf. This is to give the right to do things cheaply. Therefore, the crown prince moved the sub-dynasties from the border to the border. Even if it is risky, it is true. But to go to Jiangyuan Road, which is dredging everywhere, is also acting in accordance with His Royal Highness's order."

Zheng Che agreed: "What Zuo Yizheng said is very true. The behavior of dividing the dynasty is not so much disobedience and disobedience, but rather a deep sympathy for His Highness's ambition to overcome the chaos of war. It is an act of brave resistance. To be rewarded."

Li Yan was furious, and said with a sneer: "The meaning of the widow is, why didn't the prince ask for instructions in advance for such a major event, but came to 'do it cheaply'? You can see clearly, the widow is not in Liaodong now, but still in Yizhou! I have never reported it in between, and it is clear that I am ignoring the widow and abusing power, how can the widow turn a blind eye to this!"

Li Hengfu advised: "If you ask for instructions in advance and wait for a reply, you may miss the opportunity and make it difficult to move. Please don't misunderstand the actions of the prince's mansion."

Da Sixian Li Dexin also persuaded: "My son's intention is to resist the Japanese enemy no matter what. This is the intention of serving Your Highness. Please understand my son's painstaking efforts."

It was a rare situation of unity, but when Li Yan saw that all the ministers spoke well of Mr. Guanghai, his anger became even more unbearable, and he said angrily: "I will enshrine the tablet of the royal family. The sub-dynasties should respect and love themselves! If the royal tablet falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be the same as the destruction of the ancestral temple! Therefore, the sub-dynasty's unauthorized actions are not cheap, but an act of exceeding the royal power!"
