Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1902 The Sword Points at Dongying (Yuanjiu) Guarding Pyongyang Commander-in-Chief

Gao Wushi, who sent Fujido Gaohu away, held the battle report of the "Battle of Zhenling" that was more than ten pages long, and let out two contemptuous sneers from his nostrils.

In fact, not only was the North Korean army controlled by the Nanren Party surprised by its overreach, but Zhang Wanbang's audacity also left him a little speechless.

Gao Yushi was a little puzzled. The Ming army's powerful combat power should have been deeply appreciated by the Koreans in the past few years. Now that the Ming army has more than [-] troops in power, how can the Nanren Party dare to take only [-] people? The North Korean army made such a big gamble?

Why, the father's temper is so good that he can't bear to beat his son even if he gets ridiculed in the face, right?
But in any case, since such a thing happened, it shows that my previous calculations are still inaccurate. For example, I may have underestimated the intensity of the internal party struggle in North Korea.

The Nanren Party did not hesitate to use force in order to resist the Beiren Party, which had suddenly increased in strength by relying on its all-out investment in the Ming army.Perhaps in their view, if they don't resist now, they won't even have the chance to resist in the future.

Hmm... Well, this idea is actually not bad. After all, if North Korea is merged into Ming Dynasty in the future, no matter who he is from the south or the north or the west, it will not be worth mentioning.

But the story is divided into two parts. If Neifu Ming is unstoppable, then which faction is in power at the time of Neifu is still very influential.The faction in power will definitely get the greatest degree of rewards and preferential treatment, while the faction in the opposition will be haha.

Therefore, from this perspective, it makes sense for the Nanren Party to feel that it was forced to go to Liangshan.But this is only part of the reason for the greater motivation and determination, and there is another point that must be explained.

That is, if there was a battle with the Ming army, wouldn't they be afraid that the enraged Ming army would directly come to a violent purge?
Gao Wushi first asked himself: If Zhang Wanbang's result this time was not a complete victory but a defeat, would I kill North Korea in a fit of anger?
He thought about it seriously, and thought it was possible, but after all, he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. The final result might be to completely wipe out the [-] North Korean troops, leaving no one behind, and at the same time completely suppress the Nanren Party in the North Korean court. die.Especially the leaders, even if they are as influential as Liu Chenglong, I am afraid they will be exiled to the border of Gansu. As for Quan Li... he must die.

But this is only Gao Yushi's understanding of himself. If the South Korean People's Party has the same judgment, then things will not make sense.

The consequences are too serious, too serious, if they think Gao Yushi will do this, then there is no reason for such a thing to happen.Therefore, the reason why this incident really developed to the point where the two sides fought each other, I am afraid that the greater responsibility lies in the huge error in the judgment that the Nanren Party may have made about Gao Pragmatism.

Gao Yushi thought for a while, and finally guessed the problem: the problem lies in Gao Yushi's literary title.

He Gao was not just the Marquis of Nanning of the Ming Dynasty, he was the only officially recognized champion of the Six Scholars of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, and the leader of the Real School of Learning—or a generation of Confucianism!
Confucianism, then no matter what you do, you should also pay attention to the way of benevolence and forgiveness, shouldn't you?How could it be like Qiu Ba and the others who would kill people's heads at every turn?Besides, the Nanren party you want to kill is also the noble Korean Yangban and Confucian Miao descendants!

You see, everyone is a Confucian civil servant, so you should not look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, but hold it up high and put it down gently!

Thinking of this, Gao Wushi almost laughed at himself.

Okay, okay, you North Koreans really think of yourself as a little China. You didn't learn much from the good ones, but you learned [-]% from the bad ones.

Who told you that civil servants' immunity from death is an absolute law?Even when the civil servants of Ming Dynasty had the highest status, they were never exempted from death in the true sense!

Needless to say in the early days, father and son Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di killed civil officials like killing dogs.In the mid-to-late period, the power of civil officials was at its peak, but the civil officials who were beaten to death by the imperial staff were not civil officials?On the eve of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen’s killing of civil officials was like killing dogs like his ancestors—what illusion would it be to think that civil officials must be spared death?
There are several major prerequisites for civil servants to avoid death. Generally speaking, one is that the country is basically peaceful, the other is that the emperor is still shameless, and the third is that the civil servants themselves have no tendency to conspire or deceive the emperor.If there is one more thing to add, it can be said that the best position of this civil servant is still relatively high.

If you are just an unknown little official of the sixth or seventh rank, you can kill casually with a soft knife-"twenty with a stick, beat it hard", and you will be sentenced to death in one sentence.

People in later generations think that playing [-] boards seems to be nothing wrong, but this is actually a big misunderstanding.If you don't add the words "really hit" at the end, it's usually nothing to worry about. It may look bruised, but it's good to go back and apply some medicine to rest for a few days.

However, if the phrase "really hit" is added, there are not a few people who will be killed on the spot. Even if it is rare to meet a few tough civil servants, they will probably lose more than half of their lives. The possibility of surviving after returning home is very low. .

The court stick doesn't have to be just for spanking, it can hit the back and waist, "really beat" twenty sticks, many people's internal organs will be rotten, how can they not die?In the history books, there are many records in the history books that he vomited blood and died on the spot after being hit by the court rod. Is this the effect of spanking?

But the strange thing is that it's strange that none of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty have a real gold medal for avoiding death, but the North Korean second class has a kind of self-confidence, feeling that they are noble and extraordinary, and no matter how mischievous they are, they will not die.

Gao Wushi couldn't help but think: South Koreans in later generations have done many strange things, could it be that they have inherited the arrogant and insane thinking of the North Korean Yangban?
Gao Wuzheng pondered for a long time here, but he didn't open his mouth for a long time, which actually annoyed Gao Wuzheng next to him.Gao Wuzheng waited for a long time but didn't wait for the elder brother's instructions, so he couldn't help but said: "Brother, I feel that since this matter has developed to this point, there is nothing to hesitate, and it should be severely punished! Those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be withdrawn." all!"

Gao Wushi glanced up at him, frowned and said, "You sound like a butcher... Then let me ask you, who should be killed and who should be withdrawn?"

Gao Wuzheng was unequivocal, raised his chin slightly, and said, "Quan Li and his generals should be counted one by one, and they should all be killed! Liu Chenglong and the civil servants of the Nanren Party should all be withdrawn!"

"Then what?" Gao Wushi asked: "The Southerners' Party has been wiped out by us. Will the Northerners' Party feel that they have rare goods to live in and set prices high?"

Gao Wuzheng was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible, right? Isn't there still the Western People's Party?"

Gao Wushi sneered, and said: "The Southern Party can be forced to rebel, but the Western Party cannot? Even if the Western Party is determined to be a coward, but at that time North Korea and China were all the Northern Party, isn't that still the case?" Can you use it to bargain with us?"

Gao Wuzheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "Then...if the Beiren Party is not obedient, they will all be killed and withdrawn!"

"Then who do we find to rule North Korea?" Gao Wushi spread his hands together: "The upper class in North Korea is proud to speak Chinese, but the lower class people may not even understand Chinese. If we all rely on the faction from the Ming Dynasty Come to the officials to govern North Korea, the local low-level officials can kill our officials and then help them take the blame!

So what about going one step further?That is, the local officials sheltered and sheltered certain people with ulterior motives, and even directly provided them with various kinds of help for their rebellious actions.Under such circumstances, do you think that Ming Dynasty's rule in North Korea will become the same as that of Annan in Xuanmiao period?What should I do then, should I not return to Beijing and stay in North Korea? "

It is definitely impossible for Gao Wushi to stay in North Korea all the time. Even if the emperor handed over North Korea to Gao Wushi, the Marquis "Yongzhen", Gao Wuzheng would not be too happy as a member of the Gao family.

The reason is simple, his elder brother Gao Wu's status in Daming is already high enough, and his influence is incomparably huge, why did he give up his national influence and come to such a fart place "Yongzhen" in North Korea?
What's more, if you want to talk about Yongzhen, North Korea is not as good as Nanjiang Nanyang!Brother, if you want a place in Yongzhen, it must be in the southern border of Yongzhen!
Southern Xinjiang has been firmly controlled for a long time. It has a large area, sufficient food production, rich mineral resources and convenient trade. Now there are many Han Chinese who have immigrated there, and there are many naturalized Han Chinese. How wonderful!
As for this North Korea, whoever wants it wants it. Anyway, our Gao family doesn't want to be trapped in such a palm-sized place.

It has to be said that with the rise of Gao Yushi, the vision of the entire Gao family has grown, and they even feel that North Korea is not enough to accommodate the true Buddha Gao Yushi.

Of course, Gao Wuzheng would not say so clearly, he just frowned and muttered: "If this is the case, then we need local officials from North Korea anyway? Isn't this becoming a chieftain?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "That's not the case. There is no soil for chieftains to survive in North Korea, because it is impossible for me to keep troops for them."

"Then how to rule?" Gao Wuzheng wondered, "I don't even understand the language, no matter who I use, I'm afraid it won't work well."

Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "One monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. We must ensure that there are always three monks in North Korea, because once they do, they can only rely on Daming to give them water to drink. "

Gao Wuzheng had never heard the story of the three monks drinking water, so he had to ask, and Gao Wushi then explained.

In this way, everyone figured it out. Gao Qi first said: "Uncle Gao Ming, there are three factions of North Korean officials. If only one faction is left, the family will dominate. If two factions are left, we must guard against the two factions joining forces to deceive the court. But if there are three factions If they were factions, the situation was different. There must always be some irreconcilable contradictions between them, so they had to rely on the court.

In this way, the imperial court can always choose a faction that is willing to cooperate with our forces to the greatest extent, and in this way, in order not to be marginalized, the other two factions can only increase their efforts to join us, which forms a mutual relationship between them. Competition, and our Ming court can benefit.

Over time, the degree of Sinicization in North Korea will inevitably become higher and higher. After two or three generations, they may not remember the Korean royal family, but only remember that the whole world is the land of the king, and the shore of the land is the king's minister. "

Seeing that they understood what he meant, Gao Wushi nodded slightly, put the report in his hand on the table, pushed it out with his index finger, and said to Gao Qi: "Yu Fu, you can summarize the battle report."

As an intelligence secretary, Gao Qi himself had read the battle report, and now Gao Wushi handed it to him because he was afraid that he would not be able to remember the exact number.Gao Qi took it over and turned it over twice, then said: "Simply speaking, the North Korean army originally had 460 people, and a total of 670 people were killed, [-] people were seriously injured, and [-] people were slightly injured. count.

Zhang Wanbang of our army killed two people and seriously injured four people. One of them was seriously injured when he stepped on the corpse and slipped and was pierced into the left abdomen by a broken spear on the ground.Another 43 people in Zhang Wanbang's department were slightly injured, and none of them were seriously injured.

Most of the remaining remnants of the North Korean army were captured. About 300 people are missing and are currently being searched for.Then there are more than [-] people captured by Quan Li and his cronies who have been escorted back to Hanyang, but this matter is a bit troublesome now. "

Gao Wuzheng asked, "What's the trouble?"

Gao Qi said: "The North Korean court thinks they are Korean traitors, and wants to take them to the North Korean court to deal with them. But Zhang Wanbang did not agree, thinking that they dared to start a war with the Heavenly Soldiers, and they committed a heinous crime. Jinglue Xingyuan should decide how to deal with them. Or play the emperor's order... In short, it's not the North Koreans' turn to deal with it."

Gao Wuruo interjected at this time: "Hey, after listening to my brother's advice just now, I now suspect that the North Korean court has ulterior motives in finding important people from Zhang Wanbang. For example, Li Shanhai may want to kill Quan Li directly, and then Before killing him, think of a way to implicate him, it is best to kill Liu Chenglong."

Gao Wushi smiled slightly: "There is some progress."

Gao Wuruo made an apologetic smile on purpose and said, "It's because my brother taught me well."

"Go aside, don't come here." Gao Wushi glared at his younger brother, turned the topic back, and said, "The best way to kill Quan Li is to play the emperor's order. After all, he is the Marshal of the North Korean capital. There is the emperor." The imperial appointment is justifiable.

However, Liu Chenglong definitely cannot be killed, at least he is still useful now, he has to put his head on his neck for a while, but also show him some color-well, it is not just for him to see, Even for others to see. "

Killing chickens to scare monkeys, oh... Killing monkeys to scare chickens, the three Gao family uncles and nephews understand this truth, and they all agree.

Gao Qi said: "Then how should I reply to Zhang Canrong now?"

"Tell him, just say that such a major event requires a holy order, and let the Korean court wait." Gao Wushi snorted softly: "After this battle is over, I think the Korean court should also recognize the reality, so that they don't dare to Come out and object?"

All three laughed.

It is certain that the Korean court did not dare to object. Think about it, the [-] army they regarded as the last elite was completely wiped out by less than [-] Ming troops, and even Zhang Wanbang's losses were only single digits. The gap between them is a veritable verdict of cloud and mud, and anyone with a normal mind would know that he can't afford to mess with it.

Gao Qi wrote it down, and then asked: "Uncle, is there anything else you want to explain?"

Gao Wushi pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Tell Zhang Wanbang that I plan to recommend him as the commander-in-chief guarding Pyongyang."

The three uncles and nephews of the Gao family were taken aback, and asked in unison, "Pyongyang?"

This time, I really didn’t have any pigeons. I said one or two hours was just one or two hours, and I didn’t owe any debts.
