In April of the tenth year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Huanshan, the right-wing commander of the navy of the South Central Army, was ordered to lead the navy to Danluo Island to meet Li Hun, a former Ming court quality system certified official who was imprisoned here.

During the meeting, the representatives of the South Central Army, represented by a small group of careerists and conspirators represented by Li Gui, Li Shi, and Jin Zidian of the Western People's Party, fought against Queen Renmu and the newly rising forces of the Southern People's Party. With the assistance, they brazenly launched a palace coup, which not only usurped Li Hui's legal status, but also disabled Li Hui's body.This is a disobedience and immorality that the Chinese government cannot tolerate!It is bound to make a small group of people pay a heavy price!

Such deeds made Li Hun, who had been imprisoned for more than ten years, have a withered mind, and immediately sprouted buds with the spring breeze on Tamna Island.

"Even if the widow can't reset because his eyes are blind, he can still rely on the power of the Great Heavenly Soldiers to become the Supreme Emperor and let the widow's son take the throne!"

He didn't know that his son, the eldest son at the time, Li Zhen, was deposed at the same time after he was deposed, and Qiao Tong, who was "placed" on Jianghua Island together, tried to dig a tunnel to escape a few months later and was given to death.

As the Namjoong Army made it clear that their chariots and horses wanted to support Lord Gwanghae's restoration, his servants also changed from bereaved dogs to men of meritorious service in escorting the dragon. In addition, for officials below Jeju Mu, they are not shouting and shouting, just like enslaving slaves.

Li Huayu couldn't stand the attitude of loyal ministers and righteous men punishing treacherous ministers and rebellious sons.

"Uncle, this. Even if these people are meritorious officials, they can't beat and scold the current officials like this, right? They didn't participate in the seizure of the throne back then, they just followed the rules."

To Li Huayu's question, Li Peiting just smiled and gestured in the air with his hands.After a few random sentences, he was still hesitant about whether to tell the mystery of this to Li Huayu, who now occupies the legal position of inheriting the Shou Han and family business.After all, his biological mother was Li Muhua who both he and his elder brother hated. [

Not only Li Hui's accompanying old ministers were showing off their power on the island, but Xu Huanshan even set off a huge wave on the island.

"Expel the Tartars!"

"Support Lord Guanghai to reset!"

These two slogans cleverly linked the damage to North Korea caused by the military invasion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with the restoration of Lord Gwanghae.Especially during the Jiannu invasion of North Korea, North Korea suffered huge losses both in terms of property and population. Among other things, the population brought back to Liaodong by Huang Taiji alone was 50.This is only the population assigned to the Eight Banners as slaves and cannon fodder, as well as those who died on the road and died under swords and guns during the captivity. Calculated, it should be within a million.But how many people does North Korea have at this time?

In theory, almost every household in the country has people or relatives who were taken away by Jiannu and used as slaves.In addition, there is heavy tribute pressure. A large amount of rice, paper, cloth, and horns are sent to Liaodong every year, which has become a heavy pressure on the heads of the Korean people.

These.It makes people complain.

At this time, someone held up the banner of supporting the restoration of Mr. Gwanghae, "When Mr. Gwanghae was in power, it was also the time of the Imjin Japanese Invasion. How is everyone's life?!"

Under the guidance of such public opinion, many old people thought of the Imjin Japanese Invasion back then.Under the onslaught of 20 tigers and wolves commanded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Linhai Lord Li Cong was captured, and Xuanzu fled to Pyongyang in a hurry, ordering the 17-year-old Li Hun to take charge of state affairs.Li Hui collected the scattered troops and volunteers, and called on King Tong Guoqin to recover.Li Hui's move inspired the hearts of the Korean people and the army, and it was very effective in uniting the whole country to fight against Japanese pirates.

Look at what Li Hui did back then.Let's look at today's great kings who faced Liaodong Jiannu's cowardly avoidance of war, bowed their knees and begged for peace.

Among the discussions in the streets and alleys, in the eyes of the common people, Lord Guanghai, who has been imprisoned for more than ten years, has become a tragic hero who was framed by rebellious officials and thieves.Count the landless poor.I also miss the good time when Mr. Guanghai was in power and didn't have to pay food to the country.

"If Mr. Guanghai is in power, I'm afraid the Hulu will not attack Wang Jing and force us to such an extent!"

The Nanzhong Army threw a few burning firewood into the already almost boiling emotions.

Notices were posted at the gate of Jeju City, and at the gates of the county government offices of Dajing and Jingyi counties, impressively covering the huge defenses of the South China Army.

The Koreans with low literacy rate understood the content of the announcement under the explanation of the soldiers of the South Central Army.

"Due to the needs of the war, the Ming Nanzhong Army recruited the residents of Tamna Island to serve as auxiliary soldiers or civilian husbands, and provided military rations and military salaries according to the Nanzhong Army's military order." [

These were the high-sounding words in the notice, but during Xu Huanshan's meeting with several of Li Hui's close ministers, it had a different meaning.

"If Lord Guanghai is to be restored, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of the adults can be used, what should we do? Therefore, the general has to do this method, select the residents of the island to form a battalion, and serve as King Guanghai's diligent teacher! Therefore, the general has ordered people to go to the upper peak to collect armor, knives, guns, artillery, etc., for the purpose of forming a new army."

Not only that, under the mobilization order issued by Li Peiting in the name of Long Shengxing's general office, the Tsushima clan and the Goto family, which are across the sea from Jeju Island, also led dozens of small boats under the leadership of the daimyo. come.

Seeing these Japanese who burned, killed and looted their land like wolves and tigers decades ago, now set foot on this land again, the residents on the island couldn't help but their calves began to spin, and their sphincter muscles began to relax.

However, the hundreds of samurai and ashigaru who came from these two families strictly observed the discipline. Under the guidance of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they paid respectful respect to Li Hun who had changed the daily clothes of the King of Joseon.

"This is the soldiers from the foreign domain who were mobilized by military order because they were worried about the lack of troops. I hope the king will tell the people everywhere in the city not to panic."

For a moment, it seemed that wind and rain from all directions gathered on Tamna Island, and Gwanghae Lord Li Hun also changed from a loser who had been abandoned for many years.It seems to have become a hot figure.With the joint support of the Ming army, the Ma Zong family, and the Wudao family, it looked like they were going to counterattack immediately.

But, will he really return to Seoul and sit in that position?

"The momentum is very lively right now, but let the blind man reset. What good does it do my Nanzhong Army to sit on that chair?"

When Li Peiting, Xu Huanshan, Lin Wenbing, and Li's siblings discussed together secretly, Peiting spoke out.

Compared with her younger brother Hua Yu, Hua Mei is a bit older after all, and she used to travel around with her father. She understands the twists and turns of these military and state affairs and the ghosts and tricks of people's hearts better than her younger brother Hua Yu, who is almost a woman's hand. many.

"Uncle. What do you mean, only draw the bow and not release the arrow?"

She tried to communicate her understanding with Li Peiting, Xu Huanshan and others.

The two old guys looked at each other and smiled, "You can teach me!"

"Tiger, from now on, pass on the order, and turn a blind eye to the ships heading north!"

A small boat was deliberately released by the patrolling Nanzhong Army navy.A gold ingot was given to the officers and soldiers of the navy, and they sailed straight to the northern coast with a strong south wind.

The person on the boat is the current confidant of the North Korean government, You Yizheng Kim Zidian, and the eyeliner sent by the Luo Party members to Tamna Island.

The North Korean government is similar to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty. It has a leader and a left and a right, both of whom are of the first grade.Now that North Korea has been conquered by Huang Taiji's saber, the Western People's Party, which was originally pro-Ming under the king of Joseon, has lost its power.The pro-Qing Luo party gained power, and the representative figure was the You Yizheng Jin Zidian.

Jin Zidian himself is a political rightist, and he is the great-grandson of King Zhongzong and the father-in-law of King Xing'an, the cousin of Lord Guanghai. He also has the support of the Qing army outside. The family's reputation, so in North Korea.It can be said that it has a high position and weight, and it responds to everyone.

"You said, the Ming army is already on Tamna Island, using the name of Lord Guanghai to invade our territory? The traitor Guanghai Lord is even working for tigers, trying to restore the throne?"

Jin Zidian, who is in his 40s, has a handsome appearance and is completely aristocratic from the second class of North Korea. He wears casual clothes marked as a first-rank official, but they are made of high-quality Suzhou and Hangzhou silk and satin.

"I don't dare to lie. Now Jeju has been occupied by rebels and heavenly soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, and thousands of young men have been lured by the rebels with military pay and rations. The momentum is astonishing for a while. Please make a decision early. !"

This is a big matter. Although Jin Zidian has a high position and power, and the Liaodong rebels have cited foreign aid, but when it comes to this kind of palace competition and brothers' seizure of the throne, he still dare not neglect. Li Ji, known as Injo, will be aided by the Ming army from the sea. Right now, he is using Tamna Island as a foothold, and intends to use Li Hun as a call to regain the Joseon throne.

This news made North Korean King Li Zhen feel as if he had overturned the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and mixed more than ten kinds of spices together, sour, sweet, bitter, salty, spicy, and spicy. He didn't know what kind of taste it was.

"When I was besieged by the Hulu in the mountain city of Southern Han, where was the army of the Celestial Dynasty? Today, the widow has surrendered to Jiannu and sent his son to Shenyang as a hostage. Why did the army of the Celestial Dynasty station their troops on Tamna Island?"

"I, North Korea and the Celestial Dynasty, are originally a state of flesh and blood. Could it be said that the Celestial Dynasty sent a large army to crusade just because the widow was forced to surrender the Hulu?"

"Your Highness, my humble opinion. Your Highness sent people to Dengzhou to ask for help that day. The Celestial Dynasty never sent a single soldier to cross the sea until our country was forced to land by the Hulu. This king and his ministers have lost their righteousness. Today they sent a large army to fight with the imprisoned. The sinner, Lord Guanghai, attempted to restore the restoration, which is a crime that cannot be punished. I think that I should send envoys to Shengjing to ask for help, meet the Qing emperor, and ask the Qing emperor to send a large army to resist the Ming army."

Before the last ruler of Joseon renamed South Korea the Daehan Empire, the King of Joseon called himself a widow no matter in domestic official documents or verbally, and his courtiers called him also the King and His Highness.In those stick plays, the kings of the Li Dynasty called themselves the emperor without shame, and the ministers and court ladies called him the emperor, which basically did not exist in the history books.

What Jin Zi pointed out was a bad idea in the ears of King Li Zhen of Joseon.Invite those barbarians who robbed North Korea to enter North Korea again?Do you think they didn't grab enough?

"Golden politics."

"The minister is here."

"Is there an official document from the Ming Dynasty's army for what you have reported?" Although he was uneasy in his heart.After all, the blind younger brother was also officially conferred by Emperor Wanli. He has the right to know the state affairs of North Korea, but he sent envoys to Dengzhou many times to explain, but Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai at that time, looked down upon him and even banned North Korean envoys. Ships enter Dengzhou Water City Gate.He even ordered his soldiers to board the ship to inspect the weapons of each ship and army brought by the North Korean mission, and register them one by one.After drinking the sea breeze for three full days outside the Shuiguan, Governor Denglai received the North Korean mission.

If it weren't for the fact that Ming Dynasty was concentrating all its efforts on conquering the Liaodong rebels, and its national power was being restrained by the Liaodong rebels and the domestic Donglin, objectively the Ming Dynasty would not be allowed to be too serious about this matter.Yuan Keli started from the overall situation and reality and chose the next best thing, "Please correct the words and condemn them, and use the help of the division to assist the suppression as a voucher, and cooperate with the court."

This barely allowed Li Yu, who came to power by relying on a palace coup to know the state affairs of North Korea, to gain legal status.

Once the Ming army turns over the old accounts.You, the guy who usurped the throne and came to power, surrendered to the Hulu instead of being grateful to Dade, is that okay?Send troops to attack it!By the way, he helped his blind brother to the throne.Just like the change of seizing the door that occurred in the Ming Dynasty.

"The people who came here only heard the gossip in the streets of Jeju, and did not see the official announcement from the Ming Dynasty's army." Although Jin Zidian knew it personally, his mind was still very clear.North Korea was sandwiched between the two great powers of Ming and Qing, so it could only adopt a tightrope attitude.Otherwise, any side can destroy North Korea forever.

"But the Ming army issued a notice to recruit auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands on the island."

That is to say, the Ming government army attempted to use Mr. Gwanghae to regain the suzerainty of North Korea.Pure street rumors?There is no actual basis?

Li Zhen's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to sort out a clue from the chaotic thoughts, so that he could find an answer that was closest to the truth.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't choose a satisfactory answer among several possibilities.

A gust of fragrant wind blew over quietly, and it was his beloved concubine Mrs. Zhao who brought him the nourishing soup at night.Seeing that he was hesitating with Jin Zidian for national affairs.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has a little foolish opinion."

"My concubine, what's your opinion?"

"Since the Ming Dynasty's army has arrived at Tamra Island, it is said that the capital is thousands of miles away, and there is a sea between them. It is inevitable that there are some inaccuracies in the news. It is better to send the important officials of the court to go there. Once the situation is found out, it will be war or peace at that time, and the king will take care of it."

Among Jin Zi's eighteen generations of female relatives who could not stop cursing and greeting Zhao Guiren's ancestors in his heart, Li Zhen ordered him to go to Tamna Island to comfort the Ming army.

"Be sure to keep it extremely confidential! Don't let the news leak out! Finish the job and come back. I will definitely promote you to the official title!"

"I am the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of your Zhao family! You asked me to go to the Ming army to investigate the truth and attitude? The whole court and the whole country know that I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty. It is not a plan to let me go to the military camp of the Ming Dynasty. Let me feed the fish and shrimp in the sea?!"

He couldn't help cursing Zhao Guiren in his heart, and he had to put on an expression of thanking the king for entrusting him with the important task. After kneeling on the ground and bowing his head solemnly a few times, he asked for instructions on the strategy of his visit to Mingying.

"When I met the generals of the Ming Dynasty, I had to state my difficulties in North Korea. I was forced to come to the city by the Hulu soldiers. But all over the country, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty are like looking at Yunni in a severe drought, and looking at a baby's nanny. "

"However, North Korea has just been conquered not long ago, and it is really hard to support the army. The Celestial Army, horse and navy divisions are invited to return to the court first. After North Korea rests and recuperates, it is time to invite the army to come."

"Mr. Gwanghae is the younger brother of this king. He was recovering from illness on Ganghwa Island that day. The barbarians invaded and invaded. In order to avoid chaos, he settled down on Tamna Island. Now that the barbarians have retreated, Mr. Gwanghae is on a secluded island, and the people around him take care of him. As long as If the army can return Gwanghae-kun, our country will not be grateful for the kindness of the army.” The king of Joseon is like a respectful, loving and righteous elder brother who misses a remote corner of the sea and has no family to take care of him. brother image.

In this regard, Jin Zidian is also well aware.This clearly means that at all costs, it is possible, no, it is not possible, but Guanghai Lord Li Hui, who has seriously threatened Li Zhen's status as the ruler of North Korea, will be brought back at all costs, and he will be firmly in Li Zhen's hands.

In order to satisfy the Heavenly Soldiers from the Kingdom who came across the sea, Li Jing gritted his teeth and squeezed out tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver and more than [-] catties of brass from the treasury that was so empty that he could gallop inside.There are also some amethyst, white crystal, ruby, topaz, nephrite, obsidian, agate, amazonite and other things produced in North Korea. I also collected some gold and silver items from the concubines in the palace. The last thousand bolts of rainbow satin were taken out and handed over to Jin Zidian.

"The widow is bankrupt this time. I hope that the Heavenly Soldiers of the Shang Kingdom can be satisfied, and the traitor Guang Haijun can be returned to the widow, so that North Korea can be restored to a peaceful world."

Li Tan, who was standing at the head of the city of Seoul, was in a state of confusion as he watched the Jin Zidian team winding their way to the south.After a while, I cursed the barbarians in my heart, if you hadn't raised troops to come, how could the Celestial Dynasty have raised troops to attack me?After a while, he cursed Guanghai Lord Li Hun for a while, you useless person, you don’t want to retire on Tamna Island well, and you are still wishful thinking, and plan to regain the throne with the Dae Ming Soldiers? !

"As long as I can keep the throne of the widow and hand over the traitor Li Hui to the widow to deal with, it is a condition that seems to blow the sky, and the widow also agrees!"
