Chapter 611: Wandering Soul Wild Ghost Peach and Plum Strange
As I said earlier, in the study of history, we must not completely listen to history books, because history books were written by later generations for the previous dynasty, and it is inevitable that the suspicion of smearing the previous dynasty will be avoided.
Just as after Li Tang came to power, he wanted to discredit Emperor Sui, but the so-called Zhenguan rule, the so-called prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, without the family background of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, can achieve such glory?
Everyone says that Emperor Yang of Sui is mediocre, but Emperor Yang of Sui dug canals, opened imperial examinations, and conquered Goryeo, which is not a big and good thing?
It's true that people and money are lost, but the Grand Canal is still playing a role until a thousand years later, isn't it?
One by one, it is said that the eight-share system of the imperial examination system misleads the country and the people, but which of the famous ministers in history was not promoted by the imperial examination system?
Without the imperial examination system, the scholars of the poor family would not be able to get ahead, and all the power would be in the hands of the interest class, wouldn't the world be darker?
In later generations, some self-proclaimed indignant people only knew how to spray this and that, but in fact, they were just crowds of people, and they didn't have their own thinking at all.
It all shows that the darkness is dark, and the king is a traitor, but some things are simply lice on the monk's head, and there are obvious things that can be thought of without studying historical materials.
For example, Emperor Wanli, he is not in the court, but it does not mean that he ignores the government, if he is really mediocre and incompetent, can he reign for forty-eight years?
The history of the Ming Dynasty was written by the Qing people, but you must know that in the prosperous Kangqian era of the Qing Dynasty, the population and economy could not catch up with the most dim Wanli Dynasty in their mouth!
Not to mention militarily, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty led the world, but the Qing Dynasty abandoned them, and when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded, there were still civilian armed forces with firearms left by the Ming Dynasty, and the combat exploits achieved by these firearms were better than those of the Eight Banners Army, and the things in it can be imagined.
The reason why I say these things is to raise a question: the Korean Peninsula in later generations respected Yi Sunsin as a god, and even many TV movies portrayed Yi Sunsin and the then Yi Dynasty government as wise and powerful, while the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty were useless, which is extremely indignant.
It is not to question Yi Sunsin's personal qualities, nor to denigrate his historical achievements, but to think about how much of a role the Ming Dynasty reinforcements played in this war, and whether there really was no Ming reinforcements, and Korea could have won against the Japanese?
You don't need to look at the history of the Ming Dynasty, just look at the "Records of Seonjo" written by the Koreans themselves.
"Seonjo Record" is a historical material that records the words and deeds of Emperor Li Dynasty, and it was written by the Koreans themselves, I believe that no one will discredit themselves in history, right?
Even people who don't know history can understand it after a little analysis.
Before the Ming Dynasty sent troops, the Japanese First Army Konishi Yukinaga and the Second Army Kato Kiyomasa defeated Korea in just a few months, and only one Jeolla Province was left in the entire Eight Provinces.
Xuanzu said that he wanted to attach the Ming Dynasty, give up all the territory, and take refuge in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but the so-called historians hundreds of years later told me that they could win the war without the Ming army, isn't this a fart!
Looking at the situation after the Ming Dynasty sent troops, it is even clearer.
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor who rebelled, so he had to guard against others rebelling against him and robbing his empire, so he put a lot of effort into the military system, and it was actually very difficult to transfer troops.
In particular, the strategy of sending troops to North Korea to fight outside the country will take time and the number of troops will not be too many.
But after the Ming Dynasty sent troops, in just half a year, the Japanese were beaten away!
I don't mention anything else, just talk about Li Rusong, the son of the famous general Li Chengliang, which is famous.
Who is Li Rusong's master? That is Xu Wei, who can be called the first staff of the Ming Dynasty, a famous talent, and the "Four Uniques" of poetry, calligraphy and painting!
What's more, the Ming Dynasty still has all kinds of firearms, there are sons and mothers, there are tiger squat cannons, and Chen Lan's sailors have the prototype of later generations, firearms and dragons!
This fire dragon out of the water is generally made of wooden or bamboo tubes, and can glide on the water surface and attack enemy warships, which is simply the black technology at that time!
Therefore, it is not objective to want to erase the exploits of the Ming Dynasty on the Korean battlefield.
Turtle ships and the like were indeed Yi Sunsin's pioneering and meritorious achievements, but this war was not only naval battles, but land battles accounted for the majority, and although Yi Sunsin won on the sea, didn't he not change the fact that the land fell?
Some people say that after Yi Sunsin's death, his nephew Li Guan put on Yi Sunsin's armor and pretended to be Yi Sunsin, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and finally won the victory.
But Li Mi knew that no such thing had happened, because Li Wan was talking about this at this time!
If Li Wan didn't explain the situation at that time, the mausoleum keeper would not let him go at all, and Li Mi also needed to know the truth!
Because this is not only the mystery of Yi Sunsin's death, but also the cause of death of General Deng Zilong of our Ming Dynasty!
If someone really secretly murdered General Deng Zilong and said stupid things like taking into account the overall situation of North Korea, Li Mi would inevitably make this person pay a terrible price!
Li Guan's face was full of pain and entanglement, he held his head, shook his head desperately, and denied all the conspiracy, as if everything was what he deserved.
But Li Mi knows that this is not the performance of a person with a clear conscience!
Li Mi picked up Li Guan and asked the old man, "Where is General Li's tomb?" ”
The old man and the mausoleum keeper looked at each other, and finally lit the lantern and led Li Mi to the edge of Yi Sunsin's tomb.
Yi Sunsin's tomb is not magnificent, and there is a small temple next to the tomb, which should be used for people to burn incense and worship and rest.
This small temple is also ingenious, because the small temple was built in the shape of a turtle ship, which can be regarded as a kind of commemoration of General Yi Sunsin.
After seeing Li Sunsin's tomb, Li Guan's whole person became a little flustered.
The Deshui Li clan, where Yi Sunsin is located, is a high-ranking lord, and even has the blood of the royal family, so it is said that the tomb should not be such a regulation, and there should be no one to sprinkle and worship.
But Li Mi came down the mountain, and the mountain roads were deserted, so it can be seen that no one has been here at all in the past few years except for these mausoleum keepers and this old couple!
With the reverence of the Korean people for Yi Sunsin, it is impossible not to come to worship, and it can only be said that some people deliberately obstructed or even forbade worshipping Yi Sunsin!
Li Mi threw Li Guan on the ground and said coldly to him: "I don't want to know what the story is, you just need to say a name, and I will let you go." ”
Hearing Li Mi's words, Li Guan also raised his head suddenly, his eyes had betrayed him, because Li Mi said this, which means that Li Mi has decided that there must be something strange about this matter, and Li Guan did not deny it!
However, Li Wan shook his head again, stood up with some trembling, and instantly pulled out his long knife, pointed at Li Mi and said, "Name? Hahaha! I don't understand what you're talking about, I'm Gwanghae-kun's bodyguard now, and in the future, he will be the king, I'm the chief of the internal guard, who dares to wronged me! ”
Li Guan answered the question, but his words brought an answer, no matter who is behind it, this matter is definitely inseparable from Guanghaijun!
Li Mi has long known that the civil fighting in North Korea is tragic and bloody, and even among the members of the royal family, it is full of intrigue and killing, not to mention the officials.
From the earliest "Easterners' Party" and "Westerners' Party" to today's North and South factions, the political struggle in North Korea has never ceased.
However, Li Mi underestimated the aggressiveness of these people after all, and he didn't expect that he would sacrifice the front-line soldiers as the price of the struggle!
The main reason why Gwanghae-jun was able to ascend to the throne was his exploits in this war, if Yi Sunsin had not died, his brilliance would have been overshadowed for the most part!
Li Sunsin, Deng Zilong and others all died inexplicably, and even Linhae-jun and Shunhe-jun and others were captured by the Japanese slaves, and all the benefits derived from them finally fell on Gwanghae-jun!
Now that Li Mi keeps asking, Li Guan finally mentioned Guanghaijun's name, how should Li Mi think?
Li Mi didn't make a move, just stood up, and said to Li Guan: "Don't force me to make a move, otherwise your glory and wealth, and even your life and death, are just in my thoughts, you know." ”
His eyes are enough to explain everything, Li Wan looked at Li Mi, who was light and breezy, but he collapsed with saliva.
"Nope! No one can take everything from me! ”
"For the sake of today, I have turned my back on too much, I have carried too much, how can you imagine! I'm really not convinced! Defy! ”
Li Wan brandished a long knife, and he was about to clash, and the mausoleum guards were also shining with their eyes, and they surrounded them one by one!
Although they are unarmed, their eyes are as sharp as knives!
Seeing that Li Wan was about to conflict, Li Mi suddenly moved!
His steps were too fast, and with an arrow step forward, he grabbed Li Guan's back shoulder, and the latter turned around and stabbed him with a backhand!
However, there was only a clang, and his knife head had already flown out!
The old couple didn't see how Li Mi made a move at all, even these mausoleum guards, and they only saw Li Mi put the knife into the sheath, but they didn't see clearly how Li Mi took the knife!
"Name."
Li Mi stared at Li Guan, who was terrified, and still said these two words as usual.
Li Guan sat down and said to Li Mi: "You can't fight his ......"
"Name."
This is already the last limit of Li Mi, if Li Wan doesn't say it, he doesn't mind handing this person over to the mausoleum guard, and personally go to Guanghaijun to ask!
However, Li Guan still compromised in the end.
His face was full of shame, and he began to cry, tears and snot on his face, and finally he said two words.
"Zhou ...... Yu! ”
Zhou Yu was the admiral and minister of the new camp of Shenji at that time, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or Korea, as long as he participated in that war, it was impossible not to hear this name.
It's just that no one thought that Zhou Yu would have something to do with the deaths of Li Sunchen and Deng Zilong!
And Li Mi also knew better in his heart, no wonder Guanghaijun would not hesitate to take the risk of offending Li Mi, or even going against Li Mi, to take in Zhou Yu and Zhang Jiao!
Seeing that Li Guan finally admitted it, the mausoleum guards all shed tears of grief and indignation, and they all gathered around, seeing that they were about to tear Li Guan alive!
However, what Li Mi thought was another thing, he stopped in front of Li Guan and guarded the mausoleum.
"If you want to take revenge, come with me."
The mausoleum keeper looked at Li Guan, then at Li Mi, and finally silently bowed his head to Li Mi, and then knelt down for Li Mi!
They couldn't speak, but their actions had already told Li Mi that they were willing to follow Li Mi as long as they could take revenge!
Li Mi also finally understood why Zuo Di asked him to come to worship Li Sunsin, and finally knew where the so-called million Yin soldiers were!
It's just that these dozen or so mausoleum guards, although they are all strong in martial arts and see death as if they were at home, but in the end the gap is too far, and it is a million Yin soldiers who say yes!
"There are still too few people...... Li Mi also subconsciously whispered this, but the old man who had been watching from the side walked up to Li Mi at this time and said to Li Mi.
"How many people do you want?"
Li Mi looked at the old man, and said truthfully: "Don't hide it, Zhou Yu and Zhang Jiao are protected by Guanghaijun, and I am not too sure to take revenge, the more manpower, the better......"
The old man sighed, and then took out an ocarina, and whined, and the sound of the flute was like a hundred ghosts crying.
And in the entire mountain forest, a slight footstep began to sound, and countless mausoleum guards were like wandering ghosts, revealing their figures from the dark mountains and forests!
