"That's what I thought." Xu Lang answered Jiang Beiming's question little by little, "First, if we can defeat Dengzhou, we will fight, and if we can't defeat it, we won't fight, but we must block the sea channel, even if we can't occupy Dengzhou, we must not let Kong Youde run to Huang Taiji." Second, as for the timing of conscription, we are not in a hurry, because there is still more than a year before Kong Youde evacuates Dengzhou, and we can train a force of several thousand people. Third, on the issue of money, with Zheng Zhilong's three million silver, are you still afraid that you will have no money. Fourth, let's go to Dengzhou under the banner of Yulin Bay, the best way is to use the current model and rent Dengzhou, even if we can't, we still have a place. ”

"Where?"

"North Korea."

"North Korea?" Jiang Beiming asked, "Didn't North Korea also let the Manchus conquer, and wouldn't our going to Korea be equivalent to directly starting a war with the Manchus?" ”

Xu Lang didn't speak, and pointed to the teacup with his finger.

"What?"

"Trouble you Governor Chiang, pour me another cup of tea, and I'll tell you another piece of Korean romance."

"You're really addicted." Jiang Beiming poured another cup of tea for Xu Lang, "Then I'll listen to you Mr. Xu for another while." ”

"Korea was conquered by the Manchus, and that was in 1636." Xu Lang pointed to North Korea on the map and said, "**Since the beginning of the army, Hachi has aimed the main military target at the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea has obtained a relatively stable environment. ** Hachi has repeatedly expressed his attitude of peaceful coexistence with the DPRK in his letter of equality. The 15th king of Korea, Gwanghae-kun, also realized the huge gap in military strength between the two countries, adopted a policy of taoguang and nurturing obscurity, and was willing to reconcile with Houjin and actively cultivate national strength internally to cope with future wars.

The friendship between the two countries made the central government of the Ming Dynasty very dissatisfied. The Ming Dynasty repeatedly coerced Korea to send troops to assist in the crusade against the Jurchens as a suzerain. The Korean king Gwanghae-jun symbolically conquered Houjin several times, and Hachi understood the true intentions of the Joseon king, so he secretly asked Gwanghae-jun to say that he would not mobilize troops to attack Korea. Later, Guanghaijun also used the lack of national strength as an excuse to push back the edict ordered by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Gwanghae-jun relied on the power of the Daebuk faction in the imperial court to ascend to the throne, and the political enemies of the Daebuk faction, the Western-Japanese Party, had been planning to get rid of Gwanghae-kun. In 1623, the Seoren Party staged a coup d'état, overthrew Gwanghae-kun, and installed his nephew Injo as the new king. After King Renjo and the Westerners came to power, they changed their policy of softness towards the Later Jin, accepted the edict of the Ming Dynasty, and actively prepared for the war against the Jurchens. Relations between Kim and North Korea deteriorated all of a sudden.

By the time of the Emperor Taiji, the Manchus decided to conquer Korea. In 1627, Huang Taiji sent his cousin Amin to lead a large army to invade Korea, which was known as the 'Ding Mao Rebellion' in Korean history. King Injo and the Westerners were forced to submit to the Later Jin, ostensibly declaring their independence from the Ming Dynasty and concluding a fraternal alliance with Huang Taiji. However, the Ming Dynasty considered that co-opting Korea would help lay down hidden dangers behind the Later Jin, so it did not pursue the crime of subservience to Huang Taiji, but instead sent troops to support North Korea to resist the Later Jin. Especially after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he maintained a tough policy towards the Later Jin, so North Korea did not really submit to the Later Jin.

Based on this situation, in order to completely avoid future troubles, Huang Taiji sent a large army to conquer Korea in 1636, and the history of Korea is known as the 'Bingzi Rebellion'. Because the Ming Dynasty did not send reinforcements in time, the Korean army was defeated. After Dolgon held members of the Joseon royal family hostage, King Injo of Joseon was forced to surrender to Emperor Taiji at Namhansanseong. From then on, Korea truly broke away from the Ming Dynasty and became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"What are these things?" Jiang Beiming frowned and asked, "Why do I sound so messy." ”

"It's messy enough." Xu Lang smiled, "I don't know much about this piece of history, I only know a rough idea." But 2 things are for sure. First, Korea had not yet been completely conquered by the Manchus, and the relationship between the two sides had always been one of imminent separation. Second, the overthrown Gwanghae-jun did not die, but Qiao Tong, who was blinded by lime burns and exiled to Ganghwa Island, was transferred to Jeju Island in the south in the tenth year of Chongzhen after the Bingzi Rebellion. Chongzhen only hung up in July of the fourteenth year. And the current Ming government, although it ostensibly acquiesced to the coup, has always been obsessed. If we go to Ganghwa Island under the banner of the Ming Dynasty to rescue Gwanghae-kun, what do you say? ”

"You wait." Jiang Beiming interrupted Xu Lang's words, "What did you just say, didn't he have a good relationship with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now the king of North Korea is not obedient to the Ming Dynasty government, so why is the Ming Dynasty government still worried about his coup?" ”

"I said Beiming, we're not discussing the issue of historical research." Xu Lang pretended to be serious, "I really want to know why, go ask Lu Lao, to be honest, I don't know, anyway, it's messy enough, how to say it." ”

"Huh." Jiang Beiming smiled, "I thought you knew everything." ”

"Let's leave these things alone." Xu Lang waved his hand again and again, "What do you think of my suggestion?" ”

"What do you suggest? One time Dengzhou, the other time North Korea, all made me dizzy. ”

Xu Lang shook his head: "Didn't I say it?" ”

"You said it, but you were just telling a story."

"Okay, okay, I mean that." Xu Lang straightened out his thoughts, "Let's go directly to Liaodong, no, because it's too far away and there is no rear base." I'm afraid it won't work to go directly to the Dengzhou mutiny, because Shandong alone will be a mess, let's plug in again, and no one knows what the result will be. And again, there is not a single rear base either. Kong Youde is not easy to fight, in case we can't fight, we will be very passive. So I think the first step should be to go to North Korea, first to rescue Gwanghae-kun, you think, a blind man, there will be nothing to do. But this tiger skin is not small, we can use it as a banner. If we control Gwanghae-kun, even if we control North Korea at one point, we will have a logistics supply base. Then think about the matter of Dengzhou, and at the worst of all, you can block Kong Youde at sea. If Dengzhou and North Korea can win 2 points, then attacking the Manchus will be twice as effective with half the effort. ”

Xu Lang thought about it after speaking, and added: "This time it should be made clear." ”

"It's clear." Jiang Beiming stopped joking, "But if you do this, this step will be much better than this year." We're only a little busy this year, and we're only doing 2 points of Jinpu and Puliange, and if we do such a big deal next year, I'm still worried that we won't be able to do it. And if the focus is on the north next year, what will happen to Vietnam? Your suggestion is a bit of a big deal, and it's hard to figure out whether it will be a directional question of going south or going north. ”

"Don't ask me anything." Xu Lang said, "I'm just making a suggestion, and I have to listen to your opinions on what to do." ”

"Xu Lang, is this your opinion alone or the opinion of your family."

"My own opinion, I didn't say anything about these things that I thought of on the boat on the way here, and I was the first to tell you."

Jiang Beiming didn't speak, holding the teacup lid and keeping scratching the mouth of the teacup.

"Beiming, in fact, there is another thing here." Xu Lang took out another cigarette, "You also know that my relationship with your military has not been very good. After Lu Lao came out of the mountain, the relationship between us eased under his mediation. I have a selfish intention, and I want to use this incident to alleviate the contradiction between me and Zhang Guodong. Zeng Guangxian and Han Wantao were very enthusiastic about going north, especially Han Wantao, who wanted to fight the Manchu Qing Dynasty. I'm back in the committee now, and if I can ease up my relationship with the Military Commission, I think it's good in every way. ”

"Okay, Xu Lang." Jiang Beiming smiled, "I know that I think about others." ”

"Huh." Xu Lang also smiled, "People will always grow up." ”

"If we go to North Korea, which location do you think is more appropriate?" Jiang Beiming pulled the topic back again.

"This." Xu Lang dotted a thick black dot on the map, "Nanpu." ”

"Tell me about the benefits of Namplu."

"Nampo was an important port in Korea in later generations, bordering the Yellow Sea in the West Korean Bay, with hills on its back, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is located on the left bank of the lower reaches of the Taedong River, only 70 kilometers from Pyongyang, which is convenient for us to control North Korea. The sea distance from Dalian is 180 nautical miles, which is also convenient for us to attack Liaodong from the sea. I'm afraid there are not many people now, and in 1897 it was opened as a commercial port. More importantly, it was a Japanese military station base during the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, which shows that this place can be used as an important military port. ”

"You're thinking clearly." Jiang Beiming stared at the black dots on the map, "If you have any other ideas, let's talk about them together." ”

"Beiming, some things are really involuntary." Xu Lang suddenly became a little melancholy, "What you said is really right, righteousness has made my shoulders sore." ”

"What's wrong with you, why did you say this all of a sudden?"

"I'm thinking." Xu Lang took a puff of his cigarette, "If more than 300 of us hadn't crossed over, would we be doing something now, you would still be your captain, and I would still teach me." But perhaps, I really went to my father in the South China Sea. ”

"Xu Lang."

"I don't mean anything else." Xu Lang waved his hand, "We traveled to the Ming Dynasty 400 years ago, and we naturally wanted to change history and eliminate the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If we travel back 400 years, will we still think like this? ”

"You're thinking too much about it again. History is created by people, and history without people comes from no, we are just creating a new kind of history. Like you said, wouldn't it be nice for us to make a little butterfly? ”

"Forget it, let's not discuss this." Xu Lang asked, "What is your opinion on my idea?" ”

"Basically agree." Jiang Beiming said, "Since we all have a sense of responsibility and superiority, and since we all want to change history, then no matter whether it is a day earlier or a day later, we must start a war with the Manchu Qing, so prepare in advance." About going to North Korea and Dengzhou, you let me think about it carefully, my opinion is to ask others more about their meaning, let's make a joint bill, it seems that it is unlikely that we will not go back to this crossing conference. ”

"Then think about it, I'll ask for other people's opinions, and I'll write this bill."

"Have you seen Miss Zhao?" Jiang Beiming asked suddenly.

"I didn't care about it, I got off the boat and ran away from you."

"You, go and see people, Miss Zhao really misses you, and has asked me several times when you will come back."

"Report." The sentry shouted at the door.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Beiming asked.

"Report to the commander, Miss Zhao is here."

"Hehe, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." Jiang Beiming smiled at Xu Lang, "You can deal with it yourself." ”

Jiang Beiming stood up, walked to the door and opened the door: "Miss Zhao, your talented Xu Dacai is waiting for you inside, let's have a good chat." ”

After Jiang Beiming finished speaking, he left the office, Zhao Zhiruo stood at the door, and suddenly felt that there were thousands of rabbits beating in his heart, and he didn't dare to enter the house for a while.

"Zhiruo, come and sit, don't stand there stupidly." Xu Lang greeted.

"Xu Gongzi, you're back." Zhao Zhiruo's voice was so small that only she could hear it.

Xu Lang walked over and closed the door: "Why are you called Xu Gongzi again, Zhiruo, you have lost weight." ”

Zhao Zhiruo raised her head and looked at Xu Lang, two lines of tears suddenly flowed from her eyes, and she said in a clear voice for the first time: "Xu Lang, you have also lost weight." ”
