Smuggling Daming

Chapter 337 North Korea Under Attack

Hearing Li Rulan crying behind the screen was very sad, Jinxuan and Lingyun glanced at each other, a trace of unbearable flashed across their faces, after all, neither of them were vicious women, it would be fine if the jealousy passed, let alone the other party It's just a weak woman, maybe her husband forced her to take off her clothes.

It was with this thought in mind that both Jinxuan and Lingyun gave Zhou Zhong a hard look, and then walked behind the screen. Zhou Zhong was terribly wronged, but he couldn't get angry at the two pregnant women, he could only sigh He took a deep breath and followed Jinxuan and the others to the back of the screen. This is where Zhou Zhong rested in the study. There was a small bed. Now Li Rulan was sitting on the bed with the quilt in her arms and crying bitterly, showing her clean back shrugging and crying. very sad.

"Okay, don't cry, since you are already a husband-in-law, then our sisters will not embarrass you, but the time is too short now, and we don't understand your nature, so let's stay at home temporarily , when we sisters get to know you better, and you have no major problems, then let the gentleman accept you as a concubine!" Jinxuan sighed at this time and said, she is the only one in the family who knows Zhou Zhong's identity. She, and even Xie Lingyun didn't know about it, and she also understood that with Zhou Zhong's status, she would definitely need a lot of women around her in the future, otherwise Zhengde and Queen Mother Zhang would not be able to explain it to her, so Jinxuan could only take the initiative to give it to herself. The husband takes concubines.

"I don't want to be his concubine, and I have nothing to do with him!" Li Rulan cried very sadly, but she still rejected Jinxuan's kindness with a hoarse voice.

Hearing Li Rulan's refusal, both Jinxuan and Lingyun were taken aback.In their view, although this Li Rulan came from a good background, she is a woman from a foreign race after all, and now she has a relationship with her husband, Zhou Zhong. The best destiny for this kind of woman is to become Zhou Zhong's concubine, but now the other party has refused. , which made them all feel a little unbelievable.

"Look, I told you that I was wronged a long time ago. I haven't touched Li Rulan with a single finger. It was all a misunderstanding just now!" Zhou Zhong explained the reason why Li Rulan came to him, especially It was pointed out that the other party took off his clothes on his own initiative, in order to change a coffin.

But what Zhou Zhong didn't expect was that he was scolded as shameless by Jinxuan and Lingyun as soon as he finished speaking, because in the eyes of these women.In order to bury her elder brother, Li Rulan did not hesitate to exchange her body for a coffin, but Zhou Zhong did not agree, he really had no sympathy!

Zhou Zhong rolled his eyes angrily for the criticism from his two wives, if they hadn't been jealous and drove him to sleep in the study.How could he be so angry with Li Rulan, if he wasn't angry.They would not intentionally embarrass each other, so in the final analysis, Wang Jinxuan and Xie Lingyun were too narrow-minded.

Wang Jinxuan and Xie Lingyun scolded Zhou Zhong for a meal, then brought Li Rulan's clothes, and after helping her put them on, Wang Jinxuan said to Li Rulan, "I'll have someone prepare your brother's coffin, so you don't have to be too sad Now, and since you were sent here by that cruel brother of yours, you must be homeless, I think you might as well stay here. It just so happens that Sister Mengwan is missing a maid now, I think you are quite good at taking care of people, how about Just stay!"

"Mrs. Xie is merciful. Rulan will definitely take care of Ms. Mengwan with all her heart in the future!" Li Rulan has nothing now, and even wants to die. Now that she heard that the governor's wife not only helped her out of the coffin, but also agreed to let her stay , which made Li Rulan extremely grateful, and immediately saluted again and again.

But Zhou Zhong curled his lips when he heard this, thinking that his wife is getting more and more treacherous. Obviously Li Rulan is the lord of North Korea, and her status is not low, but now she has become a maid at home in a blink of an eye. The Lord Weng of the Joseon Dynasty is a maid, so I'm afraid it will make the Zhou Mansion lose face if he speaks about it.

Watching Jinxuan and Lingyun take Li Rulan away, Zhou Zhong shook his head helplessly. Three wives and four concubines sounded like he had enjoyed all the blessings, but now there are only two women in Zhou Zhong's family, which already gave him a headache. What's more, these two women are still pregnant, which is even more unreasonable. Now Zhou Zhong only hopes that they can give birth to their children as soon as possible and return to normal.

A few days later, some important news came from North Korea again. The Japanese rebellion in southern North Korea became more and more troublesome. After leaving the coastal areas like Fusanpo, and even entering the inland of Gyeongsang-do, the North Korean army would collapse at any touch, and they were no match for the rebel Japanese. Even Gyeongju, the seat of Gyeongsang-do, was already in jeopardy.

The Japanese people have always been known for their brutality. Those rebellious Japanese people joined the Tsushima Zong's army, and the total strength reached more than 5000. This Japanese army is simply the embodiment of wild beasts. The entire Gyeongsang Leftist Way was wailing all over the country, and countless people were killed and injured. This is the very famous "Miura Japanese Rebellion" in Korean history.

The so-called Miura refers to the three coastal ports of Jipu, Fushanpu, and Shiopo. Because Korea and Japan are adjacent to each other, there are also many Japanese living in the country. Moreover, Korea, like Ming Dynasty, was deeply influenced by Japanese pirates in the past. Learning from the Ming Dynasty and implementing the policy of banning the sea, there are the most Japanese living in the three places of Jipo. In order to distinguish these Japanese from the Japanese pirates, North Korea set up the Waguan, which is regarded as a government agency specializing in the management of the Japanese.

Regarding the reasons for the Miura Japanese Rebellion, it is actually not complicated to say. Although the sea ban can attach Japanese pirates, it also hinders trade exchanges between countries. Whether it is the sea ban of Ming Dynasty or the sea ban of North Korea, it can only produce one The consequence is the prevalence of smuggling. Da Ming has not had time to react to this. After all, Da Ming is too big, and small smuggling is not particularly noticeable. However, when North Korea discovered that smuggling was rampant, it immediately did The response is to strengthen the management of the Japanese in the Japanese Museum. After all, many of the Japanese living in North Korea are the eyes and ears of smuggling businessmen.

However, what the North Korean government did not expect was that their strengthening of the control of Japanese houses would soon lead to a backlash from the Japanese, especially the Zong family on Tsushima Island had always wanted to find an excuse to invade North Korea, so under the instigation of the Zong family, the result was The Japanese living in Miura finally couldn't bear it anymore and joined the Zong's army one after another. In addition to fighting in person, they also acted as guides for the Zong's army. After all, they lived in North Korea for generations, and no one knew North Korea better than them.

The brutality of the Japanese army, the rebellion of the Miura Japanese who are familiar with the terrain, and Li Long's repression of the domestic gentry in North Korea, many outstanding generals were implicated to death. As a result, the entire eastern army was in a state of unmanned The state of command, although some generals tried to command the army, unfortunately, no one paid attention to it at all. The rebellious Japanese killed under the city of Gyeongju without much resistance. Now tens of thousands of Japanese are besieging Gyeongju City. Most of them have already fled, and it can be said that this important city in North Korea may fall at any time.

At the same time, the savage Jurchens living in the white mountains and black waters in the north were unwilling to be lonely. They entered from Jiashan and Changseong in northern North Korea, and soon occupied most of the Xianning South Road and Pingan North Road. After not being blocked too much, he immediately rushed to the inland of North Korea with all his might.

In the eyes of Ming people, Jurchens are divided into three types. The first is Jianzhou Jurchen and Haixi Jurchen, which are more civilized. Except for this kind of Jurchens, all the remaining Jurchens are collectively called Savage Jurchens, and Because most of these Jurchen lived on the coast of the East China Sea, they were also called Donghai Jurchen in later generations.

These Jurchens are named after savages. It is conceivable how bad their living conditions are. These Jurchens are still in the period of slash-and-burn farming, and most of them rely on hunting to obtain food. However, these years have been affected by the Little Ice Age. The Liaodong region is extremely cold, and the savage Jurchens are the most affected. Every winter, a large number of them die of freezing and starvation. Especially in spring, they are starving and cold. North Korean looting.

In order to survive, the savage Jurchen men dressed in animal skins, holding the only weapon in their hands, formed an army amidst the trumpet of the leader, and then went all over the mountains and plains to kill North Korea. They lacked food, clothing, salt, etc. Necessities, and North Korea is where they obtain these necessities of life, so to some extent, these wild Jurchens are more brutal than the Japanese. They not only kill people and grab food, but even eat human flesh when they lack military food. It may also be this kind of barbarism that makes the Koreans turn pale at the savage Jurchen, and even the army is unwilling to fight these savages.

There were powerful enemies from the south and the north. Although Li Long's suppression of the country was coming to an end, those generals and officials who had been purged could not make up for it for a while. As a result, North Korea's rule over various places reached the lowest level. At this point, it was difficult to even organize an army to resist a strong enemy. As a result, the Japanese in the south and the Jurchen savages in the north drove straight in, and soon occupied a vast area of ​​​​nearly one road, and the two groups of enemies continued to advance. If it is not stopped, North Korea is likely to perish.

Seeing this situation, the brutal Li Long also panicked a little. While sending ministers to the front lines on both sides to supervise the battle, he took out North Korea's secret trick, which was to ask Daming for help. At such a critical moment, he was naturally the first to think of asking his boss for help. Now the court of Daming is also arguing over whether to aid North Korea, and even Zhengde himself can't make up his mind. (To be continued.
