"Give money, give a lot of money, give it to those people can't refuse!"

"What can be solved with money is not a thing, and our family has nothing else, but there is money!"

"Although Pu Jun is assured to do it boldly, the other party is unwilling to cooperate with us, but he must leave a deep impression on him, that is, our angel is very generous!"

In addition to money, Park Jun should also inquire about the other party's hobbies as much as possible, and he should focus on what he likes. If you can capture Hongyuan without losing a single soldier, you Pu Jun is the greatest contributor to maintaining the affection between the Ming Dynasty and the Korean father and son! He is also our closest comrade-in-arms! ”

"If there is really the kind of person who doesn't like money, and doesn't have any special hobbies, just give him the name, the name of our great tomorrow dynasty, add titles, commendations or something, and we can set up the archway of chastity for him..."

"In short, Pu Jun must let the civil and military forces in Hongyuan City realize that what they are doing now is testing the abyss and on the edge of the cliff, if they don't stop from the precipice, they will be the sinners of North Korea and the sinners of the Ming Dynasty!"

“……”

The father-in-law is out of the way, can't it be solved militarily and politically, his old man can't be Wei Datou, and he can't be Wei Zhongzheng.

Up and down for 5,000 years, there are a few things that money can't solve.

Take this inspection of North Korea as an example, if the Seoul side took the initiative to contact the father-in-law and give 1.8 million taels, why would the father-in-law bother to fight the flood and rescue here.

With the successful experience of Hyun Woo, the commander of the Gyeongseong anti-water army, and Jung Ji-sung, the commander of the soldiers and horses, and the successful experience of forcing Park Seok-dong, the commander of the soldiers and horses, to maintain "neutrality", Park Jung-tae was very confident in plotting against Hongwon.

This confidence is based on the fear of North Korea's suzerain, Daemong, from the bottom of his bones.

As the former warden of Jongseong and the current envoy of the Governor of Gyeongseong, Park Jong-tae has a clear understanding of how North Korean officials view the Ming Dynasty.

Like the time of Jingcheng, Park Jung-tae's first target is still the military general.

……….

The torrential rain that lasted for several days finally stopped, and this rain affected the three provinces of Jingcheng, Ping'an, and Huanghae, and the most severely affected was Huanghaedao.

The local report to Seoul said that due to the floods, more than 200,000 people in the territory have lost their homes and have no food to survive, and it is necessary to discuss the government's urgent allocation of relief food, otherwise it may cause a rebellion among the displaced people.

The area around Pyongyang on the Pyongan side of Pyongan Province was also severely affected, but the damage in places such as Yongbyon and Uiju in the north was relatively small, so the provincial governor Chung In-hong did not send grain to Seoul for disaster relief. It's just that the pressure of the Ming army faced by Hongyuan is still like a mountain, which makes Zheng Renhong breathless, and the interruption of water and land transportation with the Ming Dynasty makes Zheng Renhong even more suspicious, not knowing what happened to the Ming Dynasty.

Messengers from Pyongyang to and from Hongwon were sent several times a day, and no matter when the messengers returned, Chung In-hong had to meet with them, in order to ensure that he could grasp the first movement of the Ming army in the direction of Hongwon so that he could make a timely response.

It is said that there has been a lot of quarrel in Seoul, and the officials in the parliamentary government are divided into two factions: pro-Ming and anti-Ming. The pro-Ming faction moved out the "father and son theory" of King Seonjong, and trumpeted the grace of the Ming Dynasty to rebuild Korea, hoping that Gwanghaejun would immediately send an envoy to ceremoniously welcome the envoy who was blocked in the capital of Jingcheng, and personally ask the angel for guilt, so as to obtain the forgiveness of the Ming Dynasty and compensate the Ming Dynasty for the war losses as much as possible.

The Qiu Ming faction insisted that they had not received the letter of state from the Ming Dynasty, that it was contrary to common sense for the envoys to enter the country without permission, and that although Korea was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, there was absolutely no reason to bend the knees.

The Qiu Ming faction believed that the Ming envoy who entered the country without permission attacked the Korean army, forcibly occupied the Korean counties, and robbed the property of the Korean officials and people. Therefore, the government should immediately mobilize the main force of the forbidden army to the north, deal a heavy blow to the invader's army, and then ask the Ming for an explanation.

In this way, it is not considered to be a loss of power and humiliation of the country.

Guanghaijun turned a blind eye to the quarrel between the government, but according to the news revealed by the palace people, the king was very absent-minded these days.

Zheng Renhong, as the backbone of the Great Northern faction, naturally has its own news channels. He knew why Gwanghae-kun was like this, but he couldn't share the king's worries.

Originally, it was thought that the heavy rain and flash floods would force the envoy to return to China, but the news from Hongyuan showed that the army seemed to have a permanent presence in Anchuan, and there were rumors among the Koreans that the Ming Dynasty intended to protect Jingcheng as the governor of Liaodong and set up a staff general to garrison it.

Zheng Renhong suppressed this matter and did not report it to the government, and he knew very well that if the news was transmitted back to the government, the officials who supported sending troops to the north would inevitably gain the upper hand, and the situation would irreversibly deteriorate.

What could be more infuriating to a country than the encroachment of its territory.

Zheng Renhong still hopes to get in touch with that envoy in his heart, at least to find out the truth of the other party's identity and know his purpose, but he is afraid that his private contact with the envoy will arouse the suspicion of Gwanghae-kun.

Although Gwanghae-kun's successor to the throne Dabuk sent a strong force, and after Gwanghae-jun succeeded to the throne, he reinstated Li Erzhan, Jung In-hong and other officials who had been exiled for supporting him before Seonjo's death, but did not use the Daebuk faction, but appointed Li Yuanyi, a southerner, as the leader of the council. This move shows that Gwanghae-kun is also on guard against the influence and power of the Dabei faction.

Jung In-hong didn't want to give Gwanghae-jun the impression of taking it without permission, so he could only wait passively. This passive waiting was very fatal, Hongwon garrisoned tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and people needed a lot of food to eat and chew every day, and the vicinity of Pyongyang was affected by the floods, so it was necessary to allocate grain from Yongbyon, Uiju and other places for disaster relief, so the food supply on the Hongwon front line was an unbearable burden for Pyongan Province.

The only good news is that there is no fighting in the Hongyuan direction.

No news is good news, and if the Ming army does not attack Hongyuan for a day, it proves that the Ming envoy has no bottom in his heart, or that the strength that can be relied on is insufficient. The longer the time dragged on, although Ping'an Dao was under pressure, the Ming army was also under great pressure, and in the end, the Ming army was likely to return home because of food problems. In this way, Zheng Renhong will be able to recover the capital of Mirror City without much effort, adding a strong stroke to his exploits.

However, things didn't go as Zheng Renhong wanted, and bad news came.

On the sixth day of the seventh month of the 42nd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Wei Liangchen, the governor of the army, personally led more than 8,500 people to set off from Anchuan and marched into Hongyuan, publicly declaring that he would punish Yin Zheng Renhong, a Pingan Daoist who was disrespectful to the Celestial Empire, and punished the Ping'an Dao civil and military officials who openly raised troops against the Celestial Soldiers for the crime of contempt for the Celestial Empire.

In the absence of time to ask Pyongyang for instructions, Liu Xifen, the general of Hongyuan, adopted the suggestion put forward by the adjutant general Han Gui and took the initiative to attack, in order to first defeat the puppet army of Jingcheng driven by the Ming army, and then seek suitable fighters to defeat the Ming army.

The two sides met at the foot of Shuibai Mountain, fifteen miles east of Hongyuan.
