Smuggling Daming

Chapter 384 The Plan to Annex North Korea

Half a month later, a ship departing from Ping'an Road in the north of North Korea came to Weihaiwei, and then a middle-aged man in a blue gown disembarked and entered Zhou Zhong's Governor's Mansion under the leadership of a team of Jin Yiwei. Zhong met the middle-aged man in the study.

"You are Li Anliang?" Zhou Zhong looked up and down Li Anliang, the leader of one of the four major North Korean rebels. He was tall and of medium appearance, with a few wrinkles around his eyes and forehead. He looked about 30 years old. However, Zhou Zhong knew that this Li Anliang was only 30 years old, but the hard life of the last ten years, coupled with the torture of hatred, made him look older than he actually was.

"Grassman Li Anliang, pay homage to the governor!" Li Anliang was also a scholar in the past, and he was very thoughtful about etiquette, and he also knew very well that in the eyes of the young governor in front of him, he, the leader of the Ping An Army, was probably nothing more than a For a little ant with some strength, the opponent can crush him to death as long as he moves his little finger.

Seeing that Li Anliang gave him a set of ceremonies for ordinary people to visit officials, Zhou Zhong did not stop him, but stood there waiting to finish the set of etiquette, and then said: "Li Anliang, do you know that I am The reason why I specially summoned you from North Korea this time and met you in person?"

"This..." Li Anliang couldn't react for a while when he heard Zhou Zhong's straightforward question. In addition, although he guessed the reason why Zhou Zhong called him here, he knew a truth, that is, the superior He doesn't like the subordinates to figure out what's in his heart, so he doesn't know whether he wants to answer this question honestly for a while.

Seeing Li Anliang hesitated.Zhou Zhong smiled and said: "Li Anliang, you don't have to have any taboos with me, you can say whatever you think of. In addition, the governor can tell you the truth. I am very interested in your experience. I am very interested in those black mountains and white waters in Liaodong. The barbarians in Liaodong also don’t have any favors, so if you can satisfy me, then I don’t mind having a butcher under my command. As long as he is capable, I can support him to clean up the garbage in the entire Liaodong.”

When Zhou Zhong said the last few sentences, although he still had a smile on his face, behind his smile was an extremely cold expression, and even Li Anliang suddenly made a mistake.That is, the governor in front of him may hate those Jurchens even more than himself.

"I would like to report to the Governor, although the villain is ignorant, judging from the contact with the Governor during this period of time, it seems that the Lord does not like North Korea very much, so he sells food and weapons to the various rebels in North Korea, but he controls them. At one degree, the rebels in North Korea just had the strength to defeat the official army, but they couldn't win completely. This has caused the current situation where all the heroes stand side by side, but now the governor should no longer be satisfied with this kind of indirect control of North Korea behind the scenes Instead, we want to directly control a certain force in North Korea, so as to directly intervene in the situation in North Korea. It just so happens that the Governor thinks that our Ping An Army is a very good control object."

Li Anliang knew that Zhou Zhong was considering his own talent, so he told all the things he guessed in his heart, without hiding anything.Because he knows that the greater the talent he shows.In the future, Zhou Zhong will pay more attention to him, and at the same time, he will be more likely to avenge his family.

"Hahahaha~, not bad, not bad, he is indeed worthy of being able to command a large army, and he can guess most of my intentions from my previous actions against North Korea. He is indeed worthy of my fancy talent!" Zhou Zhong smiled. Said.

"Thank you, Governor, for your compliment!" Li Anliang was also very knowledgeable, and immediately bowed to Zhou Zhong's compliment.

"You don't have to thank me. Now I can tell you the truth. I really don't have a good opinion of North Korea, and I really don't have good intentions in dealing with various rebels. Now I am planning to directly intervene in North Korea's civil strife, and your Ping An Army is The target I chose, now I will give you two choices. The first is to give up the power of the Ping An Army and enter the Governor's Mansion to be my subordinate. I will help you fulfill your wish. The second is that you continue to be your Ping An The leader of the army, and then rely on his own efforts to develop his strength, and then rely on his own strength to avenge the Jurchens, you can choose between these two paths!" Zhou Zhong said in a calm tone, although he knew that Li Anliang would definitely choose the second There is a way, but now he needs the other party to say it himself.

Sure enough, when Li Anliang heard Zhou Zhong's words, he immediately knelt down and said without hesitation: "My lord, the Caomin chose to give up the power of the Ping'an Army. Living in hatred, I dream of going back to Daming to avenge the whole family. I hate my weak strength. Although I have the power of the Ping'an Army in my hands, the Ping'an Army is just a rebel army in North Korea, and its strength is also very weak. It is I who have tried my best to develop the strength of the Ping'an Army, and I am afraid that it will not be a great tool in the end. Now that the Governor appreciates it, it is really the honor of the grassroots, and it is also the only hope for the grassroots revenge!"

This is the first time that Li Anliang has said such words of revenge in front of others. Even his wife Park Lingzhu doesn't know that there is still such a deep hatred hidden in his heart, so when he said these words, he buried ten years of hatred in his heart It erupted all of a sudden, causing his whole body to tremble slightly, and his lips were bitten to bleed.

Seeing Li Anliang with red eyes wishing to kill all the Jurchens at once, Zhou Zhong sighed, stepped forward to help him up and said, "Of course we can't forget the hatred of extermination, but don't forget, you are no longer alone. , I still have a wife and children to take care of at home, so I can support you in revenge, even if you have the ability, even if you kill all the Jurchens in Liaodong, I will help you take care of it, but before that, you must You must restrain your hatred and complete the task I entrusted to you, otherwise if you let me down, you know what the consequences will be!"

Zhou Zhong's previous words were warm consolation, but later he used a warning tone. After all, people like Li Anliang were born recklessly and had been a rebel for a while, so if they want to subdue such people, they just blindly show them Kindness is not enough, and when necessary, it is necessary to show it. Equal emphasis on kindness and power is the real way to employ people.

"Please don't worry, my lord. The villain has endured for ten years. Now that I have seen the hope of revenge, I naturally don't mind to endure for a few more years. I just don't know what my lord has ordered. As long as my subordinates can do it, I will definitely do it." I will not disappoint you!" Although Li Anliang spoke submissively, he also reminded Zhou Zhong that he could give everything for revenge, but he hoped that he would not let him endure for too long.

Hearing Li Anliang's words, Zhou Zhong laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, you won't hold back for too long. I will send someone back to North Korea with you this time, and then you will hand over all the affairs in the Ping'an Army to me." Then help them defeat the other rebels and unify North Korea as quickly as possible. Then, as long as North Korea is settled, I can ask His Majesty to clean up Ming’s Liaodong. After all, the Jurchens are getting more and more disobedient Now, it's time to clean it up!"

No matter in later generations or now, Zhou Zhong does not have any good feelings for the Jurchen, a barbaric nation. Although the current Jurchens are not a threat to Ming Dynasty, the establishment of the barbaric dynasty in later generations still makes Zhou Zhong full of enthusiasm for this barbarian nation. Be vigilant, now that Li Anliang has such a good knife, of course he will make good use of it. I believe that driven by revenge, Li Anliang will definitely make the entire Jurchen nation pay a huge price.

However, when Li Anliang heard Zhou Zhongzhong's words to unify Korea, he was taken aback and said: "My lord governor, Korea has always been a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. If you come forward to seize the throne of Korea, will the court agree?"

When Li Anliang said the above words, he looked at Zhou Zhong with suspicion. After all, in his opinion, Zhou Zhong, as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, should not have stirred up civil strife in North Korea, but now he wants to completely unify North Korea, this is obviously not something a courtier should do, even Li Anliang suddenly felt that the young governor in front of him might want to rebel, and North Korea was the first step for him to accumulate strength.

Seeing Li Anliang's suspicious gaze, Zhou Zhong laughed out loud. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Who told you that I was going to take away the throne of North Korea? Although you will hand over the power of the Ping'an Army after you go back this time." , but you are still the big leader in name, and then under your leadership, wipe out several other forces in North Korea in one fell swoop, and then make a statement to Daming, asking the whole country to join Daming. As for His Majesty, I have already obtained his Permit, as long as you send the letter of credence to Beijing, Daming will agree to merge North Korea into Daming. Although North Korea is a little poorer and the winter is a little colder, but after a war, there will definitely be a master's land vacant, I believe At that time, the Han people in Liaodong, Ming Dynasty will definitely be very willing to move here!"

"This... this..." Li Anliang really didn't expect that Zhou Zhong spent so much effort to annex North Korea, but he was only greedy for North Korea's land, and he even thought about immigration. This is really unbelievable to him .

Naturally, Li Anliang didn't know that Zhou Zhong's annexation of North Korea was not just for the land. Although there were many natural disasters during the Ming Dynasty, there was a lot of land in Nanyang, and there was no need to spend effort on the barren land of North Korea.

Of course, Zhou Zhong also has his own reasons for annexing North Korea. The first is naturally his disgust for this country. The disgusting faces of those two small countries in later generations are still fresh in Zhou Zhong’s memory. Now that he has the opportunity, he should simply annex them , so as not to recur in future generations.The second is that Zhou Zhong needs to control the country of Wa. He needs the silver mines there. In addition, there is just an ocean current on the east side of the country of Wa that can reach the Americas, which is related to the development of America in the future. To control the country of Wa, he must North Korea was used as a springboard, so North Korea was unfortunately wiped out by Zhou Zhong. (To be continued.
