  Chapter 952 948【A group of insects】

   "Lin Qingye has become a marshal, I'm afraid the North Korean rebels won't be able to hold on." Jin Junyan, the leader of the Datong Army, worried.

  Dang Chongjun said with a smile: "Others can win, but Lin Qingye certainly can't...Mr. Yin, please come in."

  Yin Shandao, a great Korean Confucianist and the teacher of the former king, strode to the center of the room and greeted Dang Chongjun and Jin Junyan. He is not only the Nanren Party, but also the first Korean official to go to China after the establishment of the Datong New Dynasty. He has always advocated learning Chinese New Confucianism.

  Now, he has been expelled from the court and demoted to a local government as a petty official.

  Jin Junyan asked: "I've heard of Lin Qingye's name in China. Could it be that he still can't defeat the Peasant Army?"

Yin Shandao shook his head and sighed: "Lin Qingye also came from two classes of aristocrats, and he also belonged to the Westerner Party. But he was involved in party disputes within the Westerner Party twice, and later became very close to our Southerner Party. Now Westerners The party governs, how could it be possible for him to make great contributions?"

   "You scholars are quite good at calculating generals." Jin Junyan sarcastically said.

  The Nanren Party, which was expelled from the court, was already plotting a counterattack, and even Lin Qingye was fooled out of the mountain by them.

  Once Lin Qingye leads the army, the Western People's Party will inevitably be hindered, which will lead to the defeat of the North Korean army. The Southern People's Party can take the opportunity to impeach, saying that the Western People's Party has colluded with the Peasant Army, even if there is no collusion, it has harmed the North Korean army.

  Dang Chongjun smiled and said, "Let's wait and see."

  Let's say that Lin Qingye won the Cheorwon victory and was appointed marshal by the king. He only took five thousand elites and tens of thousands of civilians, and chased the peasant army all the way, and the rest of the troops stayed in Cheorwon to protect the king.

  The Peasant Army was intimidated by Lin Qingye's reputation and did not dare to fight him at all, abandoning the city all the way back to Ping'an Road. Along the way, they coerced the people, searched for food and goods, and did not give the officers and soldiers the opportunity to supply supplies on the spot.

  Lin Qingye successfully won Huangzhou, and then felt something was wrong.

   "Why hasn't the food and grass arrived yet?" Lin Qingye asked.

"Already in the process of urging," Li Yuanren, who is in charge of grain and grass, replied. "The officials of Bingcao said that Chunchuan was blocked by heavenly soldiers, and the food in the south could not be transported to the north. The food collected in Gyeonggi-do must ensure the supply of Cheorwon. They are trying their best to raise food. Ship to Huangzhou."

Lin Qingye was furious: "Nonsense, the food and grass in Tieyuan can last for at least three months. With these three months, I have already wiped out the rebel army here! Go ahead, don't delay until winter, otherwise How can you fight in a world of ice and snow?"

  Song Junji, the military judge, also known as the Minister of the Ministry of War, is determined to cut off the frontline food and grass. He colluded with Hu Cao to judge the book and always emphasized that there was not enough food, and he delivered food to the front line like squeezing toothpaste.

  In this way, Lin Qingye could only reduce his meals, and the frontline soldiers could not even guarantee two meals a day.

  Finally, Lin Qingye couldn't bear it anymore, and personally led hundreds of cavalry, rushed back to Cheorwon to confront Song Junji face to face. Song Junji looked innocent, and cried poorly in front of King Li Wei. Li Wei ordered the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to save money and must ensure the supply of military food in Huangzhou.

  Song Junji promised on the surface, but in the dark, he was stumbling. The powerful factions of the Western People's Party united and withheld the grain and grass shipped out layer by layer, and even withheld the rations of the civilian husbands.

  Anyway, Lin Qingye cannot be allowed to make meritorious service, otherwise they, civil servants in power, will be finished.

  Song Shiye still has a bottom line, leading some civil officials to leave the Shandang, and constantly impeaching Song Junji for framing the frontline soldiers. The Shan Party in the Western People's Party split into two factions, arguing and arguing in front of Li Wei all day long.

  Lin Qingye, who was far away in Huangzhou, finally obtained a batch of military rations, and was about to continue marching north when he suddenly received an urgent military message from the rear.

  The people transporting food have rebelled!

  Lin Qingye had no choice but to lead his army back to quell the chaos and suppress the rebellious peasants. When the peasant army heard the news, they immediately came back and besieged Huangzhou.

  Put down the rebellion of the peasants, and Lin Qingye led his troops back, trying to wipe out the peasant army outside Huangzhou City. At this time, there was an urgent military situation from Cheorwon. The peasant army led by Han Qiyuan went south along the east coast and approached the east side of Cheorwon. King Li Wei asked him to go back and **** him.

  Lin Qingye, a veteran, was so angry that he almost vomited blood. There are soldiers on Tieyuan's side, and he specially stays here to protect the king. As long as there is enough food, it will be fine to stick to it for a year, so why should he go back to rescue?

  Lin Qingye continued to lead troops to Huangzhou, and received three imperial decrees on the way. The Shan Party was already impeaching him for meritorious service, completely disregarding the life and death of the king and ministers.

  King Li Wei originally supported Lin Qingye, but when the peasant army appeared in the east, Li Wei also became afraid, so he followed the suggestion of the Shan Party and sent Lin Qingye back to **** him.

   In desperation, Lin Qingye led his troops back.

   Huangzhou is stationed with 500 elite officers and soldiers, surrounded by tens of thousands of peasant troops, and can still hold on to the city. But within a few days, spies set fire to the city. In the chaos, Huangzhou City fell again, and the 500 elite officers and soldiers were wiped out.

   Immediately afterwards, the peasant army occupied Haizhou again, and then engulfed the people and marched eastward, connecting with the Datong army stationed in Kaesong.

  Lin Qingye led his troops back to Cheorwon, when Han Qiyuan heard that the old man was coming, he was so frightened that he immediately retreated to the mountains of Gangwon-do. Afterwards, Han Ki-won retreated all the way to the seaside and captured Gangneung, the largest city on the east coast of central Korea.

  It was already winter at this time, and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, making it impossible to fight.

  North Korean monarchs and elite officers and soldiers huddled in Cheorwon and could not move, and there was really not enough food. After the beginning of spring, if Lin Qingye wanted to quell the chaos, he had to solve the military ration problem first.

Song Junji began to impeach again: "Your Majesty, Lin Qingye was a marshal in vain. He has not made any achievements in calming the chaos for a long time. He has failed His Majesty's trust. Now, the grain in the south is blocked by heavenly soldiers. If the grain road cannot be opened in spring, the Majesty and all the officials They will all starve to death!"

   Before Lin Qingye could refute, Song Shilie rebuked angrily: "If you hadn't been a hindrance, General Lin would have wiped out the rebels on the West Road long ago!"

   "How did I get in the way? You don't want to spit blood!" Song Junji also roared angrily.

  Partners from both sides joined in one after another, quarreling King Li Wei until his brain hurts.

  Li Wei now completely distrusts civil servants, and asked Lin Qingye: "Old general, how should we fight in the future?"

  Lin Qingye replied: "Your Majesty, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first. We must persuade the heavenly soldiers to give up Chunchuan, so that the food in the south can be transported to the north. As long as there is enough food and grass, I guarantee that the rebels will be wiped out within half a year!"

  Li Wei looked at the civil servant: "Who will persuade the heavenly soldiers to give up the passage?"

Zheng Taihe replied: "Your Majesty, I have sent several groups of envoys, but the conditions of the angels are a bit harsh. First, the "Datong Ji" is not allowed to be banned. Some of the contents of this book were written by the emperor himself, and the rest were also from the Celestial Dynasty. The hands of important ministers. my country's ban on "Datong Ji" is disrespectful to the emperor..."

  As soon as this statement was made, several factions that were fighting each other stood up to oppose it.

Even Song Shilie, who fully supported Lin Qingye's war, said strongly: "Your Majesty, you must not allow the "Da Tong Ji" to spread. This book contains a lot of heresy and strange talks. Contrary to morality, "Funding the Land" will bring disaster to the world!"

  Li Wei was a little curious, and asked: "What is written in "Da Tong Ji"? Why do you think it is a scourge?"

Song Shilie said: "The "Three Origins" distorts the destiny and the relationship between heaven and man, and believes that there are people first in the world, and a country should be based on the people. And the king and ministers are just the protectors of the people, not the rulers of the people. "Ge "Bit Theory" perverts ethics and confuses superiority and inferiority. It believes that men and women are equal in personality, but their status is different. People who are unworthy can be overthrown, and so is the king of a country. "Dividing Fields" is even more slippery. Zhi Daji believed that the big landlords stripped the small people and hollowed out the court, and the land of the big landlords should be divided among the people.”

   "Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, did he really allow these speeches to spread? Some of the words he said himself?" Li Wei was greatly shocked.

   "My lord, this book must be banned, and it must not be spread!" All the officials said in unison.

Li Wei also felt that it could not be spread, so he frowned and said, "I am afraid that the rest of the heavenly soldiers are just excuses. The real reason is that our country banned "Datong Collection", which made the emperor unhappy. But if you do not agree to unban this Book, how can we make the Celestial Dynasty retreat?"

  Song Junji said: "I'm afraid I have to give more benefits."

   Li Wei asked, "A tribute?"

  Song Junji shook his head: "There is no shortage of goods in the Heavenly Dynasty."

   "Do you want to cede land and offer it?" Li Wei said.

  No one speaks, and no one dares to speak first, otherwise they will be easily impeached by political opponents afterwards.

   Zheng Taihe, as the leader of the government, that is, the chief assistant, was named by Li Wei again: "Zheng Qing, let me tell you."

   "It's better to cede the North Dao," Zheng Taihe said bravely, "The North Dao was occupied by me in the early years of the dynasty. The mountains are continuous, remote and barren, and can be dedicated to the Celestial Dynasty."

  Hamgyong-do has not yet been divided into North Hamgyong-do and South Hamgyong-do at this time, but the most northeast corner of Hamgyong-do is called North-do by convention, but it is actually a part of North Hamgyong-do. It is the poorest place in North Korea, and it is also the place where North Korea likes to recruit soldiers the most.

  Even if he was ceded, Li Wei would not feel distressed, but felt that his majesty would be damaged, so he wanted to throw the pot of losing ground to the officials: "What do you think?"

   Still no one answered, and they were unwilling to accept the pot.

  Li Wei asked in another way: "Who objected?"

  The ministers remained silent, obviously no one objected.

  The forces of the two classes of nobles are all in the central and southern parts, and they will not feel bad if they are cut off from the north.

  Lin Qingye suddenly said: "Your Majesty, not even an inch of land can be ceded!"

   Li Wei originally valued Lin Qingye very much, but now he felt a little annoying. What does it mean? It completely made him unable to step down from the stage!

  Because of Lin Qingye's objection, this discussion could no longer proceed.

  Food from the south has been transported northward, through the mountainous areas of Gangwon-do. But it can only be borne by civilian husbands, and the loss is huge in the middle, and the civilian husbands have to eat more than half of it.

  After winter, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the government also asked the peasants to transport food, and the number of people who died of freezing and the disabled was unknown.

   More and more civilians are fleeing, but the monarchs and the army have to eat. Before the winter is over, the food in Cheorwon is already seriously insufficient.

  The king and ministers can’t go hungry, not only can’t go hungry, they have to eat and drink well. Then we can only suffer from the soldiers, the soldiers endured hunger and starvation, and the elite became resentful soldiers because of starvation, and finally there was a food disturbance before the New Year.

   If things go on like this, without the peasant army killing them, the elite North Korean officers and soldiers will rebel.
