Chapter 445: Recovering the Old Land of the Han Dynasty (Medium)
Since the signing of the "Treaty of Guiwei", almost all of the military and political power in North Korea has fallen into the hands of Hu Yan, the adviser minister of the Ming Dynasty, which has made many North Korean officials very dissatisfied, and after Hu Yan took office, he was not the only one who abused his power, and a large number of low-level officials of the Ming Dynasty almost regarded North Korea as a training post for their careers.
From the central court to the local provincial government, almost all of them have the so-called Ming consultants.
Politics, people's livelihood, education, minerals, economy and trade, all the regions that can give birth to dividends, the advisory group of the Ming Dynasty is like a bloodsucking worm, greedily absorbing everything cleanly.
In this environment, Hu Yan also imitated Zhu Yunwen's Guizhou policy and set up a "Daming -- Korean Political Academy" in Seoul, and only middle-level officials of the DPRK who had studied in this academy could be nominated by Hu Yan to take up a higher-level official position.
As a result, there are now two political parties with diametrically opposed political views in the DPRK court.
The Savvy and the Patriotic Party.
The literal meaning is simple, the shrewd party is all officials who studied in Hu Yan's political college, and they have completely regarded themselves as Ming people at the level of spiritual attributes.
Their slogans were: 'Only by learning from the Dharma can save Korea,' 'In Korea, we can't see even a glimmer of glimpse of the future,' and 'The Ming is the most powerful and enlightened country in the world, because it has an administrative system that North Korea does not have, and it has a great king.'" ’
The Patriotic Party was the old school after the founding of the Li Dynasty, hoping to preserve the national system, only as a vassal state attached to the Ming Dynasty or joining the Ming Union, and was resolutely unwilling to be a slave to the country.
For this reason, we do not hesitate to break the net until the mountains and rivers are broken. ’
The backbone is there, and the bloodiness is also admirable, but that's all.
Hu Yan or Zhu Yunwen will not raise their noble hands and let them go because of their bloody nature and human dignity.
Ten years of transformation, what does everything look like in North Korea?
In the teachings and schools of various provinces in North Korea, before each class, Hu Yan held a so-called flag-raising ceremony. Everyone must first kowtow to Zhu Yunwen's portrait, and then stand and watch the sun, moon, dragon and phoenix flags of the Ming Dynasty rise before the class can start.
The first class for the children of all North Korean officials must be in Chinese.
The first subject of knowledge must be to be proficient in the use of Chinese.
Because all the books of North Korea are gradually evolving from two languages in the Han Dynasty to only one in Chinese.
If you don't know Chinese, you can't even read books.
This made all the Patriots, including Li Fangguo, panic.
They wanted to resist and gather the old subordinates and family members to drive away or kill the Ming Dynasty advisory group, including Hu Yan, and annihilate the Shrewd Party, but they found that the entire territory of Korea had already become a pot of porridge.
In the past 100 years, a large number of Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols who fled into Korea because of the Jin-Liao hegemony, the Yuan-Jin hegemony, and the Ming-Yuan hegemony suddenly turned into local new heroes.
Groups of thirty or fifty people, or hundreds of them, armed with sophisticated weapons that appeared out of thin air, wearing rock-solid heavy armor, and their bloodiness and violence far beyond the Korean natives, quickly became a momentum, entrenched in every county and township of the province, and then stretched their hands into the yamen of the province.
With the acquiescence and indulgence of the local Ming Dynasty advisers, they either became the honor of the government or the deputy office, frantically encroaching on local political dividends, cracking down on the old heroes, and brutally creating killings.
The middle layer is messy, and the bottom layer is even more messy.
Although Goguryeo, which honored Confucianism and neglected Confucianism, was destroyed, the national policy of worshipping Confucianism and abolishing Buddhism promoted by Li Chenggui undoubtedly made Korea go from one extreme to another.
There are many gate valves and annexed land.
A large number of yeoman peasants became vassals of the landlord class who depended on the local gatekeepers, and the folk handicraft industry, which had flourished in the late Goguryeo Dynasty, suffered a huge blow, making it difficult to make ends meet in a day's work, and they had to bear a lot of private taxes.
Against the backdrop of this era, a wind blew from nowhere, and a vigorous peasant uprising broke out again.
Their goals are clear:
"Divide the land!"
The upper echelons are in turmoil, the middle echelons are vying for power and profit, and the lower echelons are facing each other.
In such a country, how can the central court of North Korea still have the ability to talk about cohesion, and what can it use to organize troops to counterattack the advisory group of the Ming Dynasty.
The crumbling Lee dynasty is about to slide into the abyss of the Korean Peninsula.
"Envoy, the cabinet reply is here."
Near the Seoul Royal Palace is Hu Yan's office.
It was first called Si Cao, the adviser of the Ming Dynasty in Korea, and after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to the Yamen, the plenipotentiary envoy of the Ming Emperor in Korea.
A public servant hurriedly found Hu Yan, who was reading the "Jianwen Canon" in the study, with an envelope, and respectfully presented it.
Hu Yan put down the book, hurriedly took it, first verified the integrity of the envelope, then lit a candle, reflected it carefully, and only after seeing the faint lines on the envelope did she pick it up and watch.
The content of the letter is simple, with only one sentence.
Organize the righteous army to annihilate Haoqiang, mediate the war, and recover the old land of the Han Dynasty!
The bottom corner of the envelope is signed: Fengtian Temple University Scholar's Residence.
Stamped with the seal of the Cabinet.
There is no problem with authenticity, and the content is easy to understand.
The last sentence of recovering the old land of the Han Dynasty pointed out the direction for Hu Yan's next work.
His Majesty and the cabinet are determined to recover this Lelang County in the Han Dynasty.
"Calculate the time, North Korea has been away from the arms of my Han for thousands of years, and it's time to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors."
Hu Yan smiled, and then said solemnly: "Secretly order Lu Yingyang, gather the righteous army, and comprehensively attack Gangwon Province, Hwanghae Province, and Chungcheong Province, and burn the flames of war into Gyeonggi Province from the outside in, and tell Li Chao that his country is about to be gone!" ”
Who is Lu Yingyang?
At that time, the vanguard of the battle of Li Fangyuan, and the fierce brother Timur and Aha advanced into Kaesong, and was burned by Li Fangyuan to the annihilation of the whole army.
He was the first to break out of the circle of fire, and was injured in a fall while escaping Li Fangyuan's ambush outside the city, and was then rescued by a villager, thus having a story that belongs to him in North Korea.
And right now, Lu Yingyang is a North Korean and the leader of a genuine North Korean rebel army.
At the same time that Hu Yan was deploying the 'Restoration of the Homeland' operation, Li Fangguo met with his eldest brother in the Korean royal palace across the street.
"The advisory group of the Ming Dynasty is really hateful, they have turned our court and place into their vegetable garden, and they have divided power with that group of foreign upstarts and oppressed our people, your words, even this palace has become a dead letter."
The eldest brother was busy fanning the yin wind and lighting the ghost fire, and Li Fangguo, who said it, looked extremely embarrassed.
"If it drags on any longer, it's all over, now the provincial government is in chaos, the local chaos is in chaos, the wolf smoke is billowing in the three thousand miles of splendid rivers and mountains, the ancestral society is crumbling, and millions of Korean people need their king, and you need to stand up and save them."
Looking at Li Fangguo, the eldest brother agitated with a gloomy face: "Kill Hu Yan, kill every so-called Ming advisor, kill all the shrewd parties above the court, seize power by force, and then lead the army of the Seoul camp to destroy the barbarians of the Guangdao Mansion, and finally quell the local mob rebellion, realize the substantive unification of the country, gather the hearts of the army and the people of the whole country, and protect the mountains and rivers of the society." ”
The upper skin touches the lower mouth, but it is quite good at drawing large cakes.
Li Fangguo was a little tempted, but when he thought of the Ming garrison outside Hancheng, he beat a drum in his heart.
"The Ming Dynasty is too powerful, and the Ming Union is so huge that it is almost equivalent to hundreds of North Koreas, we suddenly reversed, it is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone, a dead end.
In case the emperor of the Ming people is furious and sends a large army to suppress the border, how to resist? ”
"Then wait for death like this?"
The eldest brother was anxious, grabbed Li Fangguo's hand, and glared angrily at the latter's eyes: "At most, in a year or two, North Korea will be destroyed, how can we watch our ancestors be destroyed because we are afraid of death."
The society is covered with dust, and the artifact changes hands, which is a great shame for the nation.
Han Wen Tianxiang has a sentence 'who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat and green', there is always a day to die in life, and he is a real man when he dies, cowardly and reluctantly, imprisoned in Nanjing, he does not think about Shu, and he faces his ancestors. ”
Li Fangguo's face was red when she was scolded, but she still shook her head: "To create the Ming Dynasty, you want to kill the three clans, Qi'er is still young, and she shouldn't die because of me." ”
"Compared to Li Fangyuan, you are really a man in vain."
The eldest brother was filled with righteous indignation, his eyes were angry, and after cursing hatefully, he shook off Li Fangguo, turned around and left: "You don't dare, I dare, the palace guards, all my henchmen, I will gather the old department and kill Hu Yan." ”
Looking at the back of the eldest brother leaving, Li Fangguo sat on the ground with a puff and sighed up to the sky.
The attendants around him were distressed and stepped forward to help, but saw that Li Fangguo was already in tears.
"Your Majesty."
"Don't call me king."
Li Fangguo cried: "What kind of face do I have to be the king of North Korea, I just want to be partial to my life, keep the filial piety of the son of man, and keep the affection of relatives and friends, but Fangyuan imprisoned his father and forced him to take the throne with me, he was wrong, he should sit on this throne by himself."
I was wrong, he rebelled back then, I should have given up the throne, and I should not have invited the Ming army to enter the court because of greed. ”
"Even if the king didn't look for the Ming people back then, wouldn't the Ming people come?"
The chamberlain saw it clearly: "The Ming Emperor is an ambitious king of beasts, he is just like Genghis Khan, he only has conquest and killing in his eyes, he has destroyed so many countries and races in more than ten years, and his army has killed millions or tens of millions of people under his command, and North Korea is so close to the Ming Dynasty, sooner or later there will be a day of destruction." ”
"You say, what should I do."
Li Fangguo was desperate, grabbed the hand of the old slave beside him, and asked helplessly.
"The old slave is a eunuch, there are no descendants, if the old slave is chosen, life and death are not important."
The chamberlain helped Li Fangguo to walk back to his own throne: "The queen's concubine and children were killed by the king back then, and the pain of losing his wife and children has been suffered once. ”
Thinking of his deceased wife and son, and then thinking of his young son, Li Fangguo suddenly cried.
"I have been following Confucianism since I was a child, knowing loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and I have indeed been a person who is loyal to the king, filial piety to the father, humble to the younger brother, and respectful to the wife.
Li Fangguo cried for a long time before she stopped, but the whole person suddenly seemed to be much younger, and she became sharp and murderous.
"You go and summon Jin Zhongwei, and you say that Lone has changed his attention and decided to conspire with him."
The waiter looked at Li Fangguo, nodded silently, and then left quickly.
Not long after, Jin Zhongwei, who had just left angrily, hurriedly ran back, excited: "The king is wise." ”
"It's all up to you."
Li Fangguo stepped forward and solemnly patted Jin Zhongwei on the shoulder: "Without further ado, let's act early." ”
Jin Zhongwei knelt on one knee and responded loudly: "The minister will not dishonor the king's order." ”
The high-spirited Jin Zhongwei turned around and wanted to leave, but he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and then he was in great pain.
turned his head with difficulty and met a pair of murderous eyes.
It was resolute and ruthless that he had never seen on Li Fangguo's face.
"You!"
Jin Zhongwei's eyes were dripping with blood, he gritted his teeth and only said one word, and he died of breath.
Li Fangguo's hand holding the dagger shattered his heart!
"The sufferings of the world should not be suffered by me alone."
Killing his eldest brother with his own hands, Li Fangguo spat hatefully.
"Say it to Hu Yuanzun, just say that North Korea is chaotic, lonely, sick and disabled, and unable to bow, let him make his own decisions."
Li Fangguo's discouragement undoubtedly boosted the process of resolving the Korean issue in the Ming Dynasty, and the officials of the Patriotic Party became panicked day by day, and with the frequent outbreak of major wars between the large-scale rebel army and the new powerful class in Gangwon Province and other places, the grim situation began to continue to torment the whole of Korea.
Officials, powerful landlords, and Li Shu Qiantou.
When they opened their eyes, they saw endless killing, blood, death, wailing and despair.
No matter how hard the nerves are, there are times when they can't bear it.
It was also at this time that Ping'an, who was stationed on the border of Liaodong, raised troops from the Liaoyang camp and entered Korea.
From the south of Hamgyong Road, all the fighting along the way was vigorously suppressed.
"According to the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea will stop the chaos on the same day, stabilize the people's livelihood, and hand over the disputes to the plenipotentiary envoy Hu Yan for handling."
At this time, Hu Yan sent an invitation to the three forces of the Patriotic Party, Xin Haoqiang, and the Righteous Army to gather in Seoul for consultations.
Decide on all matters in Korea, quell the riots, and try to coexist.
The shouts of killing stopped in an instant, and the Korean people, who were approaching despair in their suffering, waited for their savior.
Da Ming!
