Chapter 138: Loyalty Overseas

The weather outside the Guanxi in August had turned cold, and Fan Zhiwan had returned to the Jingshi he longed for. The post of governor of the military administration outside the Guanxi was handed over to Qiu Minyang without accident.

Qiu Minyang, who was appointed as a new official, called on all cities to actively prepare for war, and when winter came, the Zheng army on Juehua Island would cease, and how could Jiannu not hurry up to take revenge?

But to Qiu Minyang and Wu Sangui's surprise, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not have the slightest movement of raising troops to the south, looking at their previous series of arrangements, it was obviously going to go south in a big way.

Wu Sangui has already shrunk his forces and concentrated on Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan.

However, the movements of the Qing army slowed down suddenly, not only did they not have the previous imminent posture, but instead made a defensive posture.

This made the civil and military cadres in Ningyuan City puzzled.

In fact, not only that, but the Manchus also cut the annual tribute and silver cloth to the Koreans, and released all the Koreans who were imprisoned.

There is only one reason for this, that is, Huang Taiji hanged.

Huang Taiji, who ascended the throne a year earlier than Emperor Chongzhen, finished his entire life in Shengjing on the ninth day of the eighth month, when he was fifty years old.

The middle way collapsed, died suddenly in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, from the perspective of a latecomer in history, Huang Taiji's death was really not the right time, for the Manchu Dynasty, it was simply more than King Wen of Zhou.

This is something that many people do not expect.

He is only fifty and two, even if the health of Songjin has not been very good after the war, Chongzhen 16 years because of the "holy bow disobedience", not only the first day of the first month of the first month of the celebration ceremony, but also amnesty again, and to the temples to pray, platinum.

But he suddenly died in the Nankang of Qingning Palace, and he still caught many people off guard.

Because the crown prince has not been established.

Huang Taiji himself didn't expect that he was going to die.

A fierce competition for the throne immediately ensued between Dorgon, the Prince of Heshuorui, and Hauge, the Prince of Su. The contenders are evenly matched and stalemate.

This was the reason for the sudden change in the attitude of the Manchus in military affairs, and it was also the reason why the Manchus wanted to show favor to Korea and appease the Li clan.

On the port wharf in the east of Ningyuan City, a cargo ship coming from the northeast came over, and the owner said very respectfully to the monk and the layman sitting in the cabin. "Two gentlemen, this ship has arrived in Ningyuan, and if you want to board Huajue Island, you must get a license at the port office before you can take the boat to the island. The villain's boat doesn't want to go to Juehua Island. ”

The owner of the ship didn't know where the two people in front of him came from, but they were the people arranged by Shen Qiyuan, the former prime minister of Qingyuan Mansion, and the owner didn't dare to disobey at all. Although Shen Qiyuan served as a thanksgiving envoy in the capacity of Zuo Yizheng last year and went to Shengjing, after returning to China in July, he resigned nine times, and obtained the permission of the Joseon king Li Liang to be crowned the king of Qingyuan Mansion and withdraw from the court. But it was still an inviolable man in the eyes of the owner.

Shen Jingrong in the cabin nodded. He is Shen Qiyuan's clansman, and he is also Shen Qiyuan's hardcore, and this time he came to Ningyuan with Lin Qingye, not only to inform the Ming army of the changes in the Manchu Dynasty, but also to connect with the Zheng family.

"There's a giver along the way!"

Lin Qingye thanked the shipowner. At that time, he had twice supported the Manchus as the marshal of the Korean Support Army. In both battles, he sent a Dubu monk to the Ming army to reveal the plans of the Qing army. The second time, that is, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Korean army did not really clash with the Ming army, and basically fought against the Qing army. His actions made the Manchus very suspicious, and when they returned to Korea the following year, they immediately lost their military power.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, someone on the Korean side surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, revealing the relationship between Lin Qingye and the Ming army. and Choi Myung-gil, the leader of the DPRK at the time, was also involved. The Qing Dynasty immediately sent an envoy to Korea, forced the two to be handed over, and escorted to Shenyang. However, Lin Qingye escaped in Hwanghae Road and entered a Buddhist temple where he cut his hair and became a monk.

According to history, when Lin Qingye fled to the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng had captured Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen was martyred, and Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the customs. Lin Qingye fought side by side with the Ming general Ma Tenggao. Later, the army was defeated, Ma Tenggao was captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and Lin Qingye was betrayed by his subordinates and captured by the Qing army when he fled. He was then sent to Korea by the Manchus, where he was executed by Kim Zi, the leader of the pro-Qing faction in North Korea.

But in this time and space, he actually arrived in China half a year earlier, and somehow had a deal with Shen Qiyuan, and Shen Jingrong, who was traveling with him, is an obvious example again and again.

The two of them strode off the boat, one monk, one old and one young, Shen Jingrong was already dressed as a Ming man, which was very eye-catching in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it was very common to come to the port of Ningyuan.

After so long in the sea, he finally arrived in Ningyuan, and he no longer had to worry about being caught by the Qing captives and cutting off his head, which would be bad, so that he could not complete the task ordered by the head of the family.

Fifty-year-old Lin Qingye was still in strong health, this was the first time he had come to Ningyuan, looking up at the surroundings, and looking at this famous city with curious eyes. The Guan Ning army guarding the port stood tall and tall, and his posture was extremely upright, like a green pine.

This is the spirit that the North Korean army cannot have!

It didn't disappoint Lin Qingye and didn't embarrass China. And this made him more curious about the famous Zheng Jun's demeanor.

Lin Qingye has already left the army, and Shen Qiyuan knows that although he has left the Korean court, he has a lot of energy, and he can't hide any news. Not only is he well aware of the battle of the sailors of the Yalu River, but he also has an understanding of the general process of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the fortress.

Coupled with Zheng Jun's reputation outside the Guan, Lin Qingye invisibly looked at it more than a step high, and he had silently regarded Zheng Jun as the number one strong soldier in the Central Plains.

Now Guan Ningjun's good demeanor can only make Lin Qingye more fascinated by Zheng Jun. What kind of team should that be, to be able to clear the captives repeatedly!

"The Central Plains is vast and rich, how can there be no great talent!" He shouted in his heart.

"Unconsciously, six years have passed since the rebellion, and the king has lost his ambition and is in charge of the government with the likes of Jinzidian, and righteous men such as marshals in the country are rare." Shen Jingrong looked at Guan Ningjun, who was upright, and said with emotion.

Although the Ming Dynasty lost one battle after another, in the end, it was Shangguo, and after so many years of defeat, it could still have such a strong army. Unlike North Korea, there is no real fighting force in the country today.

As for the people that Shen Qiyuan gathered in the mountain city of Nanhan, they were just a rabble.

Lin Qingye also shook his head gloomily when he heard this.

In the six years after the Bingzi Rebellion, the internal struggle in Korea was the six years when the pro-Ming faction was beaten and retreated by the pro-Qing faction.

Shen Qiyuan has written nine times to ask for resignation, do you think that is really what he is willing to do? Li Liang has made it clear that his ass has been done here by the pro-Qing faction, so what can Shen Qi do if he doesn't leave obediently? Cui Mingji, the pre-school leader, or Yin Huang Yihao, the former Yiju Governor?

Cui Mingji was a bad thing with Lin Qingye, but Lin Qingye slipped around himself on the way to Manchu Qing. And Huang Yihao was beheaded by the Manchus in public in Yizhou City because of the leakage of the Ming incident.

"However, if you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry. Although the voice of the righteous is not visible in the country, some people have made a name for themselves in the army. The marshal will serve Zheng Jun in the future, and he will probably be stationed on Juehua Island, and there is Cui Xiaoyi, the deputy of the original Huang Gong case, in this Ningyuan City. This person is quite brave, and he has made military achievements after joining the army in the Ming Dynasty, and now he has become a chief officer under Wu Dashuai. ”

Although this position is not high, it is really commendable that Cui Xiaoyi is an outsider and can be the commander of the Guan Ning Army in the group.

"Former North Korean Navy Envoy Lin Qingye?"

Zheng Jun's office in Ningyuan, Zhang Leshu looked at the monk in front of him, and his mouth didn't feel wide.

Lin Qingye, does he know that this person is the bald monk in front of him?

"Go and find the Dubu monk." Zhang Leshu immediately instructed the entourage next to him, and while letting the two people in front of him into their seats, he said apologetically: "General Lin Haihan." It's not that the villain can't trust the general, but the stakes are really important, and he has to act cautiously. ”

The Dubu monk fled into the Ming Dynasty one step earlier after Lin Qingye's bad incident.
