Chapter 59: Eagle Dog
Yin Zheng Renhong, the governor of Ping'an Province, is a hall official, a member of the second rank, and a backbone figure of the Dabei faction.
The so-called Daebuk faction was the Korean officials who supported Gwanghaejun back then, while the Xiaobei faction was the official who opposed Gwanghaejun and supported Yeongchang Dajun, the son of King Seonjong.
After Gwanghaejun ascended the throne, he exiled his younger brother Yongchang Dajun to Ganghwa Island, and also repaid the Dabei faction figures who supported him back then.
Zheng Renhong, who was only in charge of the Sipin Sixian Mansion, became important to Gwanghaejun and served as the Yin of the Ping'an Provincial Mansion and became a prominent official of the Red Robe Hall.
According to Park Zhengtai, this Zheng Inhong's exit from the town of Ping'an Road is likely to be specially done by Gwanghae-kun, because Gwanghae-jun is disrespectful to Daming, so it is necessary for Jung In-hong to go out of Zhen'an Road, in case Daming asks about Yongchang Dajun.
This statement was agreed by Gonggong Wei, Guanghaijun is not very authentic to Daming, and his father King Xuanzong's attitude towards Daming is similar to the two. In the war against the Later Jin, Gwanghaejun took a wait-and-see stance, repeatedly harassed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty who asked North Korea to send troops, and also sent people to Beijing to call for exemption from North Korea's sending troops.
Later, Yang Hao, who was still his father-in-law's cheap teacher, had a hard attitude, and Guanghaejun had to send Jiang Hongli with 10,000 soldiers to help fight. After the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, Gwanghaejun basically fell to the side of the Later Jin, and then in the Later Jin War against the Ming, the Korean firearms contributed a lot. Even after "Injo anyway", North Korea privately adopted a so-called "pro-Ming" posture, but on the surface, it still vigorously supported the Manchu Qing Dynasty's war against the Ming.
As for the Yongchang Maharaja who is similar to Zhu Changluo's role, my father-in-law thought about it carefully and felt that this little guy was quite miserable.
When he was exiled by his brother Guanghai, the history records that "people carry the king, even people bring things, push them out of the door, and close the door to prepare the door." In this situation, what can I say? The Maharaja hit his head on the back and cried, 'Mother save me!' When no one answered, he cried out: 'Sister save me!' The cry was heard from without, and the heavens and the earth shook. ”
After Yongchang was exiled to Ganghwa Island, the Ganghwa officials who received Gwanghae's instructions were extremely harsh on Yongchang, "It is strictly forbidden to fence people, cut them from eating and drinking, bake them in bed, and make them not allowed to lie down.?? Climb the window to stand, cry day and night, and die when you are exhausted. ”
Another theory is that the guards shook the wood ash water into the rice for Yongchang to eat, only to be poisoned and died three days later.
From a political point of view, if it is possible, saving the little guy in Yongchang will be of great help to properly handle relations with North Korea in the future, but unfortunately the place where the kid in Yongchang was exiled is located in Seoul, and the father-in-law is more than willing to do so. Besides, this trip to inspect the imperial domain is for money, not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. If the father-in-law really wants to get involved in the dispute between this brother, then Guanghai is not in a hurry to have an endless fight with his father-in-law.
It is no problem to defend himself and counterattack, and sweep away the strength of one or two Daoyi imperial troops, and if he goes deeper, he wants to rely on more than 2,000 people to destroy the country, and his father-in-law thinks that he has no ability.
It is imperative to break the backbone of Yoon Chung In-hong, the governor of Pyongan Province, and force Seoul to hurry up and sign the contract.
Under the rectification of the Ming envoys and the heavenly soldiers, the Korean soldiers and horses of the Jingcheng Metropolitan Protectorate were reorganized into a temporary brigade, and the soldiers and soldiers were all organized according to the Ming Imperial Army, but the Korean army in Outer Jingcheng still claimed to assist the Ming soldiers to "suppress bandits". Of course, the command must be in the hands of the Great Tomorrow Envoy Wei Gonggong himself, and the money and food expenses will be borne by the North Korean side.
As for where the bandits are suppressed, it doesn't matter.
The commander of the North Korean brigade is naturally Park Jung-tae, who temporarily takes the post of the envoy of the Metropolitan Government of Gyeongseong, and the post of brigade commander is Park Seok-dong, the former envoy of the Gyeongseong soldiers and horses, but the actual commander of the front line is Hyun Woo, the general of the naval army.
After being introduced by Park Zhengtai, his father-in-law ceremoniously received the generals of the navy led by Xuanyu, highly affirmed their role in the Jingcheng Incident, and gave Xuanyu a flying fish suit on the spot, and the handwritten "Immortal Eagle Dog" was given.
The actual strength of the Korean brigade is 5,400 and it is divided into three brigades, each of which has a squadron of about 150 imperial troops as a supervisor. In addition, the Imperial Guard of the southern part of the Kingdom of Kim is responsible for the military discipline and military law of the brigade, and about 1,000 young Korean soldiers are also in charge of transshipment affairs.
The generals of the Imperial Army expressed different opinions on the reuse of Korean generals.
The four words of father-in-law relieved the doubts in the hearts of the generals, saying "to control the dynasty with the dynasty".
On the 21st, the Korean brigade set out from Myeongcheon County, Gyeongseong, Benjicheon County, and then suddenly turned to Iwon County, which belonged to Pyongan Province in the southeast, and quickly captured it.
Subsequently, the Duke of Wei led the main force of the imperial army to Liyuan, and the next day the whole army set off from Liyuan and headed for Hongyuan, claiming to please the guilty ministers who disrespected the Ming Dynasty.
………
The news that the national soldiers of Jingcheng made the eagle dogs of the Ming envoy and drove towards Hongyuan together with the Ming army made Liu Xifen, the general of the Korean forbidden army stationed in Hongyuan, look ugly, and the generals under his command looked very strange.
Because they really don't understand why the civil and military officials in Mirror City have all become lackeys of the Ming people. They can't defeat the Ming army, so why should they still help the Ming army.
Moreover, the actions of the Ming army are also strange, so the Ming envoy has only two or three thousand soldiers under his command, how dare he coerce Jingcheng to surrender troops to attack the important town of Hongyuan.
They should stay in the City of Mirrors.
"How many enemy troops are there?" The deputy general, the Ping'an Dao soldiers and horses, made Han Gui ponder for a moment and asked the spy.
The spy was also experienced, and based on the flags and the length of the ranks of the enemy, he estimated that it should be about six or seven thousand men. Then he said that according to his observation, the number of soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty would not exceed 2,000.
Han Gui's spirits perked up, and he said to everyone: "The soldiers of Mirror City only had to serve them because of the Ming army, and the morale of the army will not be too high, and they may not have much loyalty to the Ming envoys, so they will not sell their strength for the Ming people, so I think our enemy is only the two thousand Ming army, and the rest is not to worry." ”
The generals discussed for a while, and they all agreed with Han Gui's analysis, don't look at the number of enemy troops of six or seven thousand, but the real enemy is also the two thousand Ming army under his command. The puppet army in Mirror City was just coerced and forced by the Ming army to be cannon fodder.
"The art of war, capture the thief and capture the king first, but I think it is right to attack the weak first and then the strong..."Han Gui proposed that he should decisively attack the puppet army in Jingcheng, as long as the puppet army in Jingcheng is defeated, the Ming army will attack Hongyuan with all difficulties on its own.
"Are you really going to war with the Celestial Empire?" Li Qing, who joined the army in Ping'an Dao, beat the drum in his heart.
"Master Li, the enemy army is coming to the door, when will we fight back if we don't fight back? Do you want to give the way of peace to the Akito? Han Gui has long been influenced by Yin Zheng Renhong, the governor of the "Qiu Ming", and he hated the Ming army that suddenly invaded the country.
Liu Xifen was a little hesitant, the two thousand forbidden troops under his command were the main force of Ping'an Dao, once it was lost, it would be difficult for Ping'an Dao to organize an effective force to resist the invasion of the Ming army.
"Is there any news from Yiju?" He looked at Jin Zidian, the capital patrol envoy who was in charge of contacting Yizhou in the Ming Dynasty.
"Our people can't get into Uiju at all." Jin Zidian shook his head, "I have already sent someone to Daming by the sea route." ”
Liu Xifen nodded: "Be sure to confirm the authenticity of this messenger to Da Ming!" ”
