In April of the tenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Huanshan, the commander of the right wing of the naval division of the Nanzhong Army, was ordered to lead the naval division to Tamluo Island to meet Li Hui, the state minister of the former Ming Dynasty who had been certified by the quality system of the former Ming court.

In the course of the meeting, the representatives of the Nanzhong Army brazenly staged a palace coup d'état with the assistance of Queen Renmu and the newly rising Nanren Party on a handful of careerists and conspirators represented by Li Gui, Li Shi, Jin Zidian, and others of the Westerners' Party, which not only usurped Li Hui's legal status, but also disabled Li Hui's body. This is a disobedience that the Chinese government cannot tolerate! It is bound to make a small group of people pay a heavy price!

Such an act made Li Hui, who had been imprisoned for more than ten years, immediately sprout with the spring breeze on this Tamna Island.

"Even if the widow can't reset the throne because he is blind, he can still rely on the power of the great tomorrow soldiers to become the emperor and make the widow's son ascend the throne!"

He didn't know that his son, Li Zhen, the son of the world at the time, was deposed at the same time after he was deposed, and was "placed" in Qiao Tong on Jianghua Island together, and a few months later he tried to dig a tunnel to escape and was given to death.

As the Nanzhong Army made it clear that the chariots and horses would support the restoration of Gwanghaejun, and his followers also changed from lost dogs to people who had meritorious service in protecting the dragon.

The kind of faction of loyal ministers and righteous men punishing traitors and rebels made Li Huayu a little unbearable.

"Uncle, this. Even if these people are meritorious guards, they can't scold these current officials like this, right? They did not participate in the seizure of the throne back then, but just served according to the law. ”

In response to Li Huayu's question, Li Peiting just smiled, gestured with his hand in the air, and dealt with a few words randomly, and he still had some hesitation in his heart about whether to tell the mystery of this, Li Huayu, who now occupies the status of inheriting the Han Dynasty and the family business in legal theory. After all, his biological mother is the Li Muhua who is very disgusting to him and his brother.

Not only did Li Hui's entourage show off his might on the island, but Xu Huanshan also set off a wave of monstrous waves on the island.

"Banish the Tartars!"

"Support the restoration of Gwanghae-kun!"

These two slogans cleverly link the damage caused by the Manchu invasion to Korea with the restoration of Gwanghaejun to the throne. Especially during the invasion of Korea by Jiannu, both in terms of property and population. North Korea has suffered huge losses. Not to mention anything else, the population that Huang Taiji brought back to Liaodong alone was 500,000 people, and this was only the population who were assigned to the Eight Banners as slaves and cannon fodder, as well as those who died on the way. Died by a sword or a spear in the course of captivity. Calculated. It should be within a million. But at this time, how many people did the whole of North Korea have?

Almost every household in the country theoretically has a population or relatives who have been taken away by Jiannu and used as slaves. In addition, there was a heavy pressure on tribute, and a large amount of rice, paper, cloth, and horn had to be sent to Liaodong every year, which became a heavy pressure on the Korean people.

These. All of them made people complain.

At this time, someone held high the banner of supporting the restoration of Gwanghae-kun, "When Gwanghae-jun was in power, it was also the time of the Imjin War, how was everyone's life going?!" ”

Under the guidance of such public opinion, many old people remembered the Renchen Rebellion back then. Under the onslaught of the 200,000 tiger and wolf army commanded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Ri Jue, the king of Linhai, was captured, and Seonjo rushed to Pyongyang to order the seventeen-year-old Li Hui to take state affairs. Li Hui collected the scattered troops and volunteers, and called on the king of Tongguo Qin in order to restore the fù. Li Hui's move has boosted the morale of the Korean people and the army, and has played a very important role in uniting the whole country to crack down on the Japanese invaders.

Look at Li Hui's actions back then, and then look at today's kings facing the cowardice of Liaodong Jiannu to avoid war, bending his knees to seek peace, under the deliberate guidance of people with intentions, public opinion has made judgments on the evaluation of the two kings.

In the discussion on the streets and alleys, in the minds of the people, Gwanghae-kun, who has been imprisoned for more than ten years, has become a tragic hero who was framed by rebellious ministers and thieves. Countless landless poor people miss the good times when Gwanghae-kun did not have to pay grain to the state during his reign.

"If Guanghaijun is in power, I'm afraid that Hu Lu will not hit Wang Jing and force us to such a point!"

The Nanzhong Army, on the other hand, threw a few burning firewoods into the already boiling feelings.

At the gates of Jeju City, Dajing, and Jeongui counties, notices were posted, covering the huge defense of the South Central Army.

North Koreans, who do not have a high literacy rate, learned about the content of the list text under the explanation of the soldiers of the South Central Army.

"Due to the needs of the war, the Southern Central Army of the Ming Dynasty recruited the residents of Tamluo Island to serve as auxiliaries or civilian husbands, and gave military rations and salaries in accordance with the military orders of the Southern Central Army."

These were high-sounding words on the notice, but in the talks between Xu Huanshan and several of Li Hui's close ministers, they changed their meaning.

"If you support the restoration of Gwanghae-kun, you have no soldiers and horses to use, how about it? Therefore, Ben Jiang had no choice but to use this method to select the island's residents to form a strong battalion and serve as the army of King Qin of Gwanghae-kun! For this reason, the general has already ordered people to go to the upper peak to ask for armor, knives, guns, artillery, and other items for the purpose of forming a new army. ”

Not only that, but under the mobilization order issued by Li Peiting in the name of the Ryusheng General Office, the Tsushima clan and the Goto clan, which were across the sea from Jeju Island, also led dozens of small boats under the leadership of the daimyo.

Seeing that these widows, who had burned and looted their land like wolves and tigers decades ago, now set foot on this land again, the inhabitants of the island couldn't help but start their legs and stomachs to spin, and their sphincter began to relax.

However, the hundreds of samurai and ashigaru who arrived from these two families were also strictly disciplined, and under the guidance of the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers, they also respectfully met with Li Hui, who had changed the daily clothes of the king of Joseon.

"This is the general is worried about the lack of troops, so he mobilized the troops of the foreign domain with military orders. I also hope that the king will tell the people everywhere in the city not to panic. ”

For a while, it seemed that all the wind and rain from all directions had converged on Tamna Island, and Li Hui, the king of Guanghai, had also gone from a loser who had been abandoned for many years. It seems to have become a hot figure. With the joint support of the Ming army, the Tsushima family, and the Goto family, it looked like he was about to counterattack immediately.

But will it really bring him back to Seoul and sit in that position?

"The momentum is very lively at the moment, but what good is it for my South Central Army to let that blind man be reinstated, and he sits on that chair?"

Li Peiting, Xu Huanshan, Lin Wenbing, plus the two sisters and brothers of the Li family, when the five of them discussed together, Peiting was blunt.

Compared with her younger brother Hua Yulai, Hua Mei is a little older. He used to follow his father everywhere again. For the twists and turns in these military affairs and the ghost tricks of people's hearts, he knows more than his younger brother Hua Yu, who is almost longer than a woman's hand.

"Uncle, do you mean that you only draw the bow and don't let go of the arrow?"

She tried to communicate her understanding with Li Peiting, Xu Huanshan and others.

The two old fellows looked at each other. A smile was revealed. "The children can be taught!"

"Tiger. From now on, the order will go down, for the ships going to the north. It's time to turn a blind eye! ”

A small boat, under the deliberate release of water by the sailors of the Nanzhong Army patrolling the sentry, stuffed a gold ingot to the officers and men of the sailors, and rode straight to the northern coast with a strong southerly wind.

On board the boat is the cronies of the current North Korean parliamentary government, the eyes of the Luo Party faction on Tamna Island.

The Korean National Assembly Government is similar to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, with one leader and one left and right government, all of which are the same product, and the three major councils are known as the "three princes" and "three politicians". At present, with the conquest of Korea by Hwang Tae-gil's saber, the originally pro-Ming Westerner Party under the King of Joseon has lost power, and the pro-Na Party has gained power.

Kim Zidian himself is a right-hand politician, plus he is the great-grandson of King Zhongzong and the father-in-law of Xing'anjun Li Jin, a cousin of Gwanghaejun, and has the support of the Qing army outside.

"You say, the Ming army is already on Tamna Island, and is preparing to invade my borders in the name of Gwanghae-kun? The traitor Guanghai Jun is even more for the tiger, delusional about restoring the throne? ”

Jin Zidian, who is in his forties, has a handsome appearance, and is completely an aristocratic leader of two groups of North Korean brothers, wearing civilian clothes marked with a first-class master, but it is made of fine Suzhou-Hangzhou satin.

"The lower officials don't dare to lie, now Jeju has been occupied by the traitors and the heavenly soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, and thousands of Ding Zhuang have been lured and coerced by the traitors with military salaries and rations.

The matter is big, although Jin Zidian is high and powerful, and there are Liaodong thieves as foreign aid, but when it comes to this kind of palace dispute, brothers seize the throne, he still does not dare to slack off, and entered the palace overnight to ask to see Li Liang, who is known as Injo in Korean history, and will have the Ming army to come to the aid from the sea, and now take Tamna Island as a foothold, and intend to take Li Hui as a call to regain the Korean throne of the urgent military situation.

This news made the Joseon King Li Liang's heart feel like he had overturned oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and mixed more than ten kinds of spices together, mixed with sweet, sour, bitter, salty and spicy, I don't know what kind of taste it is.

"When I was besieged by Hulu in the mountain fortress of Namhan, where was the army of the Celestial Empire? Today, the widow has surrendered to Jiannu and sent the prince into Shenyang as a hostage, but why did the Celestial Empire army station troops on Tamna Island? ”

"I, North Korea and the Celestial Empire, are the states of flesh and blood, could it be said that just because the widows were forced to surrender to Hulu, the Celestial Empire sent a large army to crusade?"

"Your Royal Highness, the minister's foolish opinion, that day His Royal Highness ordered people to go to Dengzhou to ask for help, and the Celestial Empire did not send a single pawn to cross the sea until our country was forced to land by Hulu. The righteousness of this monarch and his ministers has been extinguished, and today he sent a large army to conspire with the imprisoned sinner Guanghaijun to restore it, which is really a crime that cannot be punished. The minister thought that when he sent an envoy to Shengjing to ask for help, he met the Qing Emperor and begged the Qing Emperor to send a large army to resist the Ming army. ”

Before the last ruler of Joseon changed the name of Korea to the Korean Empire, the king of Joseon called himself a widow in both official documents and verbal titles in the country, and his courtiers called him also King and His Highness. In those stick plays, the kings of the Li Dynasty were ashamed to call themselves I, and the ministers and palace ladies called him emperor, and other scenes, which basically do not exist in the historical history books.

Kim Zizi's words are an idea that can no longer be spoiled in the ears of the Joseon King Yi Liang. Please ask those Hulu who have robbed North Korea of all of them to re-enter North Korea? You don't think they grabbed enough?

"Kim Yizheng."

"The minister is here."

"What you reported, do you have official documents from the Ming Dynasty official army?" Although I was nervous. After all, the blind younger brother was also officially canonized by the Wanli Emperor, and he had the right to know the location of Korean state affairs, but he sent envoys to Dengzhou many times to explain, and was met with countless blank eyes by Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai at the time, and even forbade the ships of the North Korean envoys to enter the water city gate of Dengzhou, and even ordered his soldiers to board and inspect the ships and weapons brought by the Korean mission, and register them one by one. After drinking the sea breeze for three days outside the water gate, the governor of Denglai received the Korean mission.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ming Dynasty was concentrating on conquest of the Liaodong anti-thieves, and the national strength was contained by the Liaodong anti-thieves and the domestic Donglin, the Ming Dynasty would not be allowed to be too serious in this matter. Yuan Keli proceeded from the overall situation and reality, and retreated to the second. "Please be honest and responsible. With the help of the helper as a coupon, and the court agreed. ”

Only then did Li Liang, who relied on a palace coup to come to power, gain a legal status in Korean state affairs.

Once the Ming army turns over the old accounts, you usurped the throne and came to power, I don't know how to thank Dade and don't say it. Instead, he surrendered to Hulu. Is this worth it? Send a big army to attack it! By the way, he put his blind brother on the throne again. It's like the change that happened in the Ming Kingdom.

"The people who came only listened to the talk of the streets of Jeju. I did not see the official announcement of the Ming official army. "Although Jin Zidian is close to Qingqing, his brain is still very clear. North Korea is sandwiched between the two major forces of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and can only adopt a tightrope attitude. Otherwise, any side can make North Korea doomed.

"However, the Ming army recruited auxiliaries and civilians on the island, but issued an example notice."

In other words, the attempt of the Ming official army to use Gwanghaejun to regain the suzerainty of Korea is purely a street rumor? And there's no real basis for it?

Li Kun's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to sort out a clue from the chaotic thoughts, so that he could find an answer that was closest to the truth.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't choose an answer that would satisfy him among several possibilities.

A gust of fragrant wind quietly wafted over, and it was his favorite concubine and nobleman Zhao who brought him a nourishing soup for the night. Seeing that he was hesitating with Jin Zidian for the sake of national affairs.

"My lord, the concubine is a little foolish."

"Aifei, what do you think?"

"Since the Ming official army has arrived on Tamluo Island, according to Wang Jing, it is thousands of miles away, and there is a sea in the middle, it is inevitable that some news is not true. It is better to send important ministers of the court, nominally labor troops, to spy on the situation. Once the situation is discovered, whether it is war or peace at that time, it will be sent and received by the king. ”

Among the eighteenth generation of female relatives of Zhao Guiren's ancestors who cursed and greeted Zhao Guiren in his heart, Li Liang issued an order to go to Tamna Island to comfort the Ming army.

"It's important to keep it extremely secret! Don't let the news leak! If you come back from this mission, the widow will definitely be promoted to your official position! ”

"I, the sun, the ancestor of your Zhao family, eighteen generations! At this time, you asked me to go to the Ming army to find out the false and real attitude? The whole country of the Manchu Dynasty knew that I was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and when I went to the military camp of the Ming Dynasty, didn't I plan to feed the fish and shrimp in the sea?! ”

He cursed Zhao Guiren in his heart, and he had to make an expression on his face to thank the king for entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, and after kneeling on the ground and kowtowing a few times solemnly, he asked for instructions on the strategy for visiting Mingying this time.

"When I saw the generals of the Ming Dynasty, I must state my hardships in North Korea, and I was really forced by the Hu soldiers to come to the city. But all over the country, I look at the soldiers of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty like the hope of the great drought and the hope of the baby. ”

"But now that North Korea has just been recruited, it is really unable to support the army. Please ask the Celestial Empire Army, Horse and Water Division, to return to the Dynasty first. After the DPRK has taken a little rest and recuperation, it is necessary to invite a large army to come. ”

"Gwanghae-kun is the younger brother of this king, and he was recuperating on Ganghwa Island that day, and the Hulu entered the country to harass him, so he settled on Tamna Island in order to avoid chaos. Now that Hu Lu has receded, Guanghaijun is secluded on the island, and there is no one around to take care of him. As long as the army can return Gwanghae-kun, everyone in our country will be grateful for the kindness of the army. "The king of Joseon is like a brother and brother, a brother who is affectionate and righteous, and misses the image of a blind brother who is in a corner of the cape and has no family to take care of him.

In this regard, Jin Zidian is also well aware. This is clearly to get back the possibility, no, not the possibility, but to get back Li Hui, the ruler of Gwanghae, who has already threatened Li Liang's position as the ruler of Joseon, at any cost, and firmly in the hands of Li Liang.

In order to satisfy the heavenly soldiers who crossed the sea, Li Liang gritted his teeth and squeezed out tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, as well as more than 100,000 catties of brass, from the treasury that was empty enough to ride horses and gallop inside. In addition, some amethysts, white crystals, ruby jade, topaz, nephrite, black yaoshi, agate, Tianhe stone and other things produced in North Korea were collected from the concubines in the palace, and the last thousand rainbow satin horses in the inventory were taken out and handed over to Jin Zidian.

"The widow is bankrupt this time. I hope that I can satisfy the heavenly soldiers of the kingdom, return the traitor of Gwanghae-kun to the widow, and return the world of peace to Korea. ”

Looking at the Jin Zidian team walking south, Li Liang, who was standing at the head of Seoul, was in turmoil. He cursed in his heart for a while, if you hadn't raised an army, how could the Celestial Empire raise an army to attack me? After a while, he cursed for a while, Guanghai Jun Li Hui, you are a wasted person, you are not good to retire on Tamluo Island, and you are delusional, and you plan to regain the position together with the Great Tomorrow soldiers?!

"As long as you can keep the throne of the widow and return Li Hui's traitor to the widow for disposal, it will be a condition like pouring the sky, and the widow will also agree!" (To be continued......)
