Chapter 671: Divide the Peninsula
The army will start tomorrow, and the evening before leaving, Sun Chengzong rushed over from Shenyang.
Ye Xun had already gotten the news, and with more than a dozen guards, he had been welcoming him ten miles away.
Sun Chengzong would return to Beijing every year to report on his work, and after all, he had been in the position of governor of Liaodong for nearly eight years.
In the past eight years, under his governance, Liaodong has made great progress in all aspects, and now not only there are no more bandits in Liaodong, but also an important grain producing area for the imperial court.
On the document that Ye Xun recruited Sun Chengzong, it did not explain what he wanted him to do, but as soon as he saw Sun Chengzong's outfit, Ye Xun smiled, this old Comrade Sun really knew himself, and he actually guessed what he was looking for him for.
Sun Chengzong obviously didn't expect Ye Xun to greet him in person, and he was far away, so he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, then bowed to the ground and said loudly: "How dare you have Gonggong Lao to greet him from afar?" Capital offense, capital offense! ”
Ye Xun also jumped off the horse, greeted him with a smile, helped Sun Chengzong with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Old brother, don't be polite, it seems that Lord Sun has guessed my father's thoughts."
"Gonggong Ye came to Liaodong but did not summon the lower officials at the first time, and only recruited the lower officials to meet after the army was ready, if the lower officials couldn't guess the father-in-law's thoughts, it would be too ashamed of the cultivation of the father-in-law."
When Ye Xun brought his son, he didn't tell Sun Chengzong and the others, and when Fang Zhenru and they picked up their son, Sun Chengzong knew that Ye Xun had brought the little emperor, but he knew it too late, and it was too late to see him.
With Sun Chengzong's character, he was also extremely disapproving of this matter, but he had no chance to stop it.
Sun Chengzong has been in Liaodong for a long time, and he knows the situation in Liaodong well, and he thinks differently from those ministers in the court, he agrees with Ye Xun's annexation of North Korea, because he knows that as early as the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Imperial Court had set up counties on the Korean Peninsula, so strictly speaking, Korea is also the land of the Central Plains Dynasty, and now it is time to take it back.
It was also easy to talk to like-minded people, and after the two of them threw their horses to the guards, they walked side by side towards the camp.
"When Lord Fang and Lord Liu were leaving, they made some suggestions to my father, saying that they were going to impose military control on North Korea for the time being, what does Brother Sun think?"
"Military management is only temporary, but not a long-term solution, and although North Korea is currently occupied by the Jurchens, but the city guards everywhere are still mostly Koreans, if you change it rashly, I am afraid it may not work well, the idea of the lower officials is to send troops first, and then move the families of these local officials to Shanhaiguan"
"North Korea has gone through war, and it is the time when it is a time to think about governance for a long time, deterring with force, pacifying with money and food, and at the same time slowly eroding with culture, and within a few years, it will definitely achieve the effect expected by the father-in-law."
Ye Xun sighed and said, "With Brother Sun here, North Korea has no worries!" What else does Brother Sun want? ”
Sun Chengzong shook his head and said: "There is no request, just a little idea and suggestion, one is that the Korean royal family cannot stay in North Korea, and in addition, the army should be recruited in North Korea, and then it will also be pulled to the Central Plains for training, but after the training, there is no need to go back to North Korea."
"Brother Sun is solely responsible for these things, and the court will definitely give full support, and there is another thing to tell Brother Sun, I have already put Huang Taiji in Japan."
Listening to Ye Xun's words, Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I'm afraid that only my father-in-law has such a big spirit!" It's a good idea, at least for a short time, Japan doesn't want to recover, but the lower officials don't recommend occupying that place."
The rebellion in Jiangnan is not far away, and like Ye Xun, Sun Chengzong also has no good impression of those little widows.
Ye Xun nodded and said: "Across the sea, the imperial court is not able to control there at all, so it is in the best interests of our dynasty to let the chaos there permanently, Japan is composed of several large islands, and you can try to establish a few more countries in the future, so that they have something to do"...
The law of survival in this world has always been the law of survival of the jungle, and the fate of North Korea has been decided, just like chatting.
Huang Taiji is ready to leave, he has been in North Korea for almost eight years, and many soldiers have already settled here, so if it is publicized, there will definitely be people who are unwilling to leave, and it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.
After some secret selection, out of nearly 50,000 horses, 25,000 of the most loyal soldiers were carefully selected, and the more than 20,000 troops will also be divided into two groups, one for the attacking team, and the other for the rest of the army and to escort the family.
Speaking of Ye Xun, it's really interesting, nothing else was given to Huang Taiji, but more than 3,000 grenades were sent, and these things were undoubtedly a relief to the Jurchen army that lacked firearms.
Before leaving, Huang Taiji found Guanghaijun, Guanghaijun was destined to be an outcast, not only would Huang Taiji not take him away, but also left him as a gift to Ye Xun.
Although Guanghaijun didn't know that Huang Taiji was going to lead troops to Japan, he also felt a trace of an unusual taste, but in his mind, Huang Taiji had no way out, and he was afraid that he was going to play the trick of burning jade.
The problem is that your Emperor Taiji wants to die, and Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough!
"I heard that the army has crossed the Yalu River, I don't know what your lord's plans are?"
Huang Taiji didn't talk nonsense to Guanghaijun, and asked directly after meeting.
Looking at Huang Taiji's energetic appearance, Guang Haijun couldn't help but secretly wonder, isn't this guy sick and dying? Why did you work like a live donkey again in a few days?
I couldn't figure out what Huang Taiji was thinking, so he said carefully: "Everything depends on the Great Khan, and the eunuch will not let me go, so the minister has decided to fight the eunuch to the end."
It's really a brag and don't have to pay for it, the cattle in North Korea were all blown to death by you! Speaking of shamelessness, Ye Xun is the first, and you can definitely be ranked second.
patted Guanghaijun on the shoulder, and said with relief: "With the words of the king, Ben Khan will be relieved, these years by the king's favor, Ben Khan really doesn't know how to thank the king, these days in the palace to think, as long as you can defeat the eunuchs, in the future, the world of this Khan will be shared with the king"
Huang Taiji said and took out a tiger talisman from his bosom and handed it to Guanghaijun, and continued: "The best defense is to attack, Ben Khan decided to personally lead the army to meet the eunuchs, leaving 20,000 troops to defend the city, and the 20,000 troops will be handed over to the king."
Guang Haijun was a little stupid, he really wanted to reach out and touch Huang Taiji's head to see if he had a fever, the Ming army of 100,000 troops was pressing, he actually wanted to take 20,000 troops to a decisive battle with the well-equipped Ming army, was he alive enough to commit suicide?
Although there were thousands of doubts in his heart, this tiger talisman undoubtedly attracted him even more.
Taking control of these armies and surrendering when the Ming army arrives, this can be regarded as a big gift, right? And if Huang Taiji is defeated, and then locked him outside the city, will the credit be greater?
For a while, Guanghaijun's eyebrows were about to jump, but he said in his mouth: "The Great Khan is absolutely impossible, the eunuch is powerful, if you fight hard, the chance of winning is very slim!" Why don't we defend the city together, and then wait for the opportunity, thinking that Emperor Yang of Sui's men and horses are better than ..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huang Taiji's wave, and anyone who knows a little bit of history knows that if Emperor Yang of Sui did not follow the blind command and only sent a general into the court, it is estimated that North Korea would have been destroyed long ago...
