Smuggling Daming

As the weather gets warmer, not only the situation in Japan is undergoing dramatic changes, but also the situation in North Korea, which has been dormant for a winter, is also changing. Whether it is Li Long's king's army or Qi Yanming's rebels, they are secretly Prepare for the next decisive war. After all, they all know that whoever decides the future of North Korea will depend on their performance in the war.

However, it may also be because they knew that the upcoming war was of great importance, so although the spring in North Korea has come and the climate has become warm and humid, whether it is the four major rebel armies headed by Qi Yanming or Li Long's king's army, Unanimously, they all chose to stand still. It seemed that they all knew the truth of shooting the first bird, so they all waited for others to come first.

Zhou Zhong is very dissatisfied with the weird and peaceful situation in North Korea, because this is not the result he wants to see. In his ideal, it is best for North Korea to fight together, so that in the early stage He can buy a lot of arms and food to plunder the wealth of North Korea. In the later stage, he can also deploy his own power, and then control the entire North Korea politically or economically.

It was precisely because of this calculation that Zhou Zhong finally couldn't sit still after seeing that all parties in North Korea did not take the initiative to provoke a war, so he began to take the initiative to intervene in the situation in North Korea. However, he did not intend to send troops, but I plan to advance my plan to control North Korea one step ahead, find a suitable agent in North Korea now, and then support this agent to achieve my goals.

If you want to support an agent, you must have a good understanding of the various forces in North Korea.This is nothing to Zhou Zhong, because he controls Daming's trade with North Korea. Through these trades and exchanges, it is easy to find out the details of various forces in North Korea.

Among the five major powers in North Korea, although Li Long retreated steadily and could only guard the Gyeonggi-do area now, Zhou Zhong knew very well that Li Long, the king of North Korea, was still the most powerful of all the powers, including Qi Yanming various rebels.There is no rebel army that can compete with Li Long alone, but because of Li Long's misbehavior, North Korea hated him very much, and all rebels are determined to destroy him, so although Li Long is strong, But it is likely to be the first force to be wiped out.Then came the various rebel forces vying for the leadership of North Korea.

For Zhou Zhong, Li Long should be a good partner. First of all, he is the king of North Korea and has the strongest strength. If he were to be his agent, he would save a lot of financial and material resources.And someone like Li Long, who is spurned by all North Koreans, wants to keep his current seat.You can only choose to rely on yourself, which will also facilitate Zhou Zhong's control of North Korea.

However, after serious consideration, Zhou Zhong gave up on Li Long with a look of pity, because he considered Li Long's character. This person had a cruel personality, and he grew up in the Korean royal family since he was a child. He must have a very arrogant personality.He will not be driven by other things at all, if he chooses such a person as his agent in North Korea.At the beginning, the other party may still be more submissive, but maybe one day he will turn his face against others, and even conflict with himself regardless, because Li Long is not a rational person in the first place. In a sense, he was originally a lunatic, so Zhou Zhong thought that it was too dangerous to cooperate with such a person, and it would be easier to find someone with a normal personality.

After Li Long was excluded, all that remained were the various rebels headed by Qi Yanming, the most powerful of which was Qi Yanming's Zhongqing Army, but he was also the first to be excluded by Zhou Zhong. After all, Qi Yanming was originally It is the traitor who is wanted by Ming Dynasty. As the governor of the world, he has secretly contacted such a person. If the ministers in the court know about it, it is likely to arouse the suspicion of others, which will cause some unnecessary troubles. Therefore, Qi Yanming is absolutely will not choose.

Except for Qi Yanming, among the various rebel armies in North Korea, there are only three rebel armies, the Pingan Army, the Gangwon Army, and the Gyeongsang Army, which are second only to Qi Yanming. Among these three rebel armies, the Pingan Army originated from South Pingan Road in the southwestern part of North Korea is close to Ming Dynasty, facing the invasion of the Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty all the time, and the folk customs are relatively tough.

North Ping'an Province was massacred by the Jurchens before, resulting in thousands of miles of uninhabited Ping'an North Province, and a large number of refugees fled into Ping'an North Province. As a result, North Korea failed to resettle these refugees. A rebellion broke out in Dao. After this period of annexation, the current Pingan Army was finally formed. These troops were mainly composed of former refugees. It can be said that they are the most ferocious of the four-way rebels, but they only know how to destroy but not build, so they are the poorest one among the four-way rebels, and there is nothing in the army. Decent weapons, many people use bamboo spears as weapons like Japanese soldiers.

The leader of the Ping'an Army is named Pu Chengshu. According to Zhou Zhong's information, this man is just a reckless man who has no other advantages except bravery in combat. The rebels from all walks of life finally became the hegemony who ruled the vast area of ​​Ping'an Road and Hamgyong Road. The counselors advised him, otherwise, with his ability, it would be impossible to become the leader of the Ping'an Army.

Compared with the Pingan Army composed of refugees, the Gangwon Army, which is also one of the four major rebel armies, is unique because the main body of the Gangwon Army turned out to be rebellious North Korean officers and soldiers. These North Korean officers and soldiers were originally the defenders of Gangwon Province. Li Long ordered the defenders of Gangwon Province to put down the rebellion, but he was unwilling to pay the military salary. As a result, the North Korean officers and soldiers were dissatisfied, and finally they rebelled together with the rebels. As a result, the North Korean officers and soldiers The equipment and combat effectiveness are far stronger than those of ordinary rebels. After several rounds of annexation and elimination, this Gangwon Army with rebel officers and soldiers as the main body appeared.

The current leader of the Gangwon Army is named Cui Donglong. He used to be a middle-level officer among North Korean officers and soldiers. He became the leader of the rebel army of officers and soldiers, and later annexed several other rebels, becoming the overlord of Gangwon-do, and Gangwon-do is adjacent to Gyeonggi-do. Cui Dongxi has always been ambitious to capture Li Long himself. He has invaded Gyeonggi-do several times, but unfortunately his strength is still far behind Li Long's, and he can only return without success in the end.

The last Gyeongsang Army is also somewhat special. Gyeongsang Province is adjacent to the Japanese country. It was the first to bear the brunt of the Miura Japanese Rebellion and suffered the most severe trauma. Dao is a very prosperous Dao in North Korea, and it is also the base camp of the gentry. Many famous gentry in North Korea originated here.

However, with Li Long's persecution of the domestic gentry and the occurrence of the Miura Japanese Rebellion, the gentry in Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do suffered heavy casualties. They have reached the point where they can do everything they can. If they don't want to protect themselves, they will die in the end.

It was also under such circumstances that a well-known gentry surnamed Zheng in Gyeongsangbuk-do first raised the flag to rebel, and as a result, other gentry also responded. These gentry had knowledge, connections, and property, so they rebelled unlike other people It was so messy, but they started to unite after the rebellion, trying to form a larger alliance without consuming their own strength. In the end, the gentry of Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do formed a gentry alliance, and the Gyeongsang army It is the army in their hands, and with the financial support of all the gentry, the Gyeongsang Army is the best equipped among the four major rebel armies, and it is also Zhou Zhong's most important trading partner in North Korea. After all, only these Only the wealthy gentry could afford his sky-high weapons and food.

The Gyeongsang Army does not have a unified leader, because it is an alliance formed by all the gentry in Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do for self-protection. In this alliance, there are several powerful gentry, each with a group of Crowded, it is these few big gentry that are controlling the actions of the Gyeongsang Army.

It is worth mentioning that the Gyeongsang Army and Qi Yanming's Zhongqing Army also had constant conflicts. The reason was that Qi Yanming was very greedy for the affluent North Gyeongsang Province. Before the Gyeongsang Army was formed, he sent troops to invade North Gyeongsang Province. As a result, the northern part of North Gyeongsang Province was occupied, which has already threatened the security of the gentry alliance. In order to drive the Chungcheong Army out of their own territory, the two sides had fought several times before, but it is a pity that the strength of the Gyeongsang Army is still comparable to that of Qi Yanming. In the end, instead of regaining the northern part of Gyeongsangbuk-do, some land was lost again. This made the gentry alliance very angry, but unfortunately there was no other way.

In addition, the Gyeongsang Army was also the only rebel army that did not pose a threat to Li Long, because their territory was separated from Li Long's Gyeonggi Province by the territory of the Chungcheong Army and Gangwon Army, so they wanted to send troops to attack Li Long. We can only borrow the way from the Chungcheong Army and Gangwon Army. Unfortunately, the rebels of the three routes are constantly dirty. The Qingsang Army dare not send troops deep into the opponent's territory. If they wanted to fight for the hegemony of North Korea, they could only defeat the Chung Ching Army or Jiang Yuan Army first, otherwise they could only watch others wipe out Li Long and the other rebels, and then turn around and deal with themselves.
