Just when Ye Xun led people to prepare to build Jinzhou New City, the 30,000 Jurchen army under the command of Daishan and Huerhan overwhelmingly entered Korea like locusts.

In fact, a large area of Korean territory south of the Yalu River has been combed by the Jurchens countless times, and there is no oil and water left, and there is also no decent resistance, so the Jurchen army is like entering a no-man's land, and the army is divided into a circle, and it takes more than ten days to kill the Korean capital.

With the advance of the Jurchen army, countless captured Korean people were sent back to Jianzhou in a steady stream.

On the way to Jianju, the Korean prisoners of war were divided into several parts, the women and children were sent to Hetuala, and the young were sent directly to the concentration camps that had been temporarily formed for road construction.

Huang Taiji said that he didn't care, in fact, he also attached great importance to this official road built by the two families, especially the field, so he had to make preparations as soon as possible.

What Dai Shan and the others did not expect was that under the capital of North Korea, they encountered unprecedented resistance.

Here, the North Korean soldiers and civilians gave full play to the spirit of immortal Xiaoqiang, and at the same time, the firearms that Ye Xun sold them also came in handy, repelling the attacks of the Jurchens again and again, and the corpses of the Jurchens were piled up under the city walls.

This situation surprised Daishan and Hulhan, and the two studied it, and instead of the army surrounding here, it was better to go to other parts of Korea to loot.

After making up his mind, the army was divided into two, Daishan continued to besiege Seoul, and Huerhan led an army of 10,000 to bypass Seoul and kill deep into Korea.

Daishan and Huerhan did not know that at this time, the Korean monarchs and ministers had been divided into two factions, one was the surrender faction led by Gwanghaejun, and the other was the resistance faction led by Ayayangjun Li Liang.

And the reason why Seoul has been able to hold out for so long can be said to be entirely due to the resistance faction.

Li Liang's faction is all pro-Ming, but they are more opposed to Guanghaijun's blindly currying favor with Ye Xun, thinking that it is disrespectful to the suzerain, so after gradually grasping the right to speak in the imperial court, they sent people to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to ask for help, instead of begging Ye Xun like Guanghaijun.

If you don't go to ask for help, the richest places in North Korea are in the south, if you let the Jurchens continue to be so scourged, then North Korea will really be finished.

The land route has been blocked by the Jurchens, and the fastest way to get to the capital of Daming is by sea, so the first person to know that North Korea asked for help was the governor of Denglai, Tao Lang.

The vassal state had something to do, and Tao Lang naturally didn't dare to delay, and after sending someone to send off the Korean envoy, before he could drink a sip of hot tea, someone came to report that Gonggong Ye of Liaodong sent someone to ask for a meeting.

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Tao Lang couldn't help but be startled, as a feudal official, how could he not know that Ye Xun was tired of the relationship between Ye Xun and the imperial court, but he never imagined that this eunuch, who was no longer allowed in the imperial court, would find him?

I had the heart to say that I couldn't see it, but I heard the people say: "The people sent by Gonggong Ye said that they came to give gifts to adults."

Tao Lang has no other skills, but corruption and bribery are a top trick, I heard that Ye Xun sent someone to give him a gift, so what taboo is it, and immediately ordered someone to call Ye Xun's messenger in.

It didn't take long for me to see a young man with a good demeanor walking in.

What kind of person was sent by Ye Gonggong, it was actually Ye Xun himself.

If you want to build a shipyard in Jinzhou, there is no shortage of materials, there are towering ancient trees in the primeval forests of the north, but the most lacking are shipbuilders.

If you just recruit craftsmen, you naturally don't need Ye Xun to come forward in person, but building a shipyard is not a trivial matter, and it is almost impossible to hide it, especially Denglai, which is across the sea from Jinzhou.

The Ming Dynasty has banned the sea for a long time, although many officials are secretly operating the sea, but secretly doing it and blatantly doing it are completely two concepts.

Ye Xun was already intolerant of Zhu Youxiao, if the construction of the shipyard was made known to the world, then he would really become a rat crossing the street.

With Ye Xun's current strength, although he is not afraid of anyone, he must also consider some invisible influences, because one day, he will still return to the center of the Ming Dynasty.

Tao Lang looked at the young man in front of him who looked calm and did not bow down to him at all, and couldn't help frowning and wondering, "What did Ye Xun send you for?" ”

Ye Xun smiled slightly, took out a brocade box from his arms like a trick, handed it to Tao Lang's subordinate beside him, and then said, "Please Lord Tao take a look at the gift first, and then we will talk."

The next person handed the brocade box to Tao Lang, Tao Lang opened it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a pile of silver tickets inside, the face of which was 1,000 taels, and it was roughly estimated that this stack of silver tickets would cost about 20,000 taels.

Putting the brocade box back on the lid and putting it in front of him, Tao Lang said with a smile: "Your father-in-law Ye is too polite, he is an official in the same dynasty, if there is anything to say, it will not be like this next time."

Ye Xun has been observing Tao Lang's performance, if Tao Lang doesn't accept cash, then he won't identify himself, just make up a reason to deal with it and leave.

But Tao Lang's performance has proved that Ye Xun is not wrong about this person, so the rest will be easy to do.

smiled and said, "Can you have a few words with the adults alone?" ”

"Let's all go down! Go out and keep your mouth shut, if anyone talks nonsense, this official will not be spared."

Tao Lang agreed to Ye Xun's request almost without thinking, and did not forget to warn his subordinates.

Ye Xun couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he really has money to make ghosts grind, and he doesn't know how much money this guy spent to buy this official, this is a posture to get back even harder!

After everyone withdrew, Ye Xun clasped his fists and saluted: "Liaodong Ye Xun, I have seen the governor."

Tao Lang was startled, he never imagined that Ye Xun would suddenly come to him, just from this young man's temperament, he had already realized that this was not an ordinary subordinate, but he never imagined that it would be Ye Xun himself.

Hurriedly bypassed the table, walked quickly to Ye Xun, and also hugged his fists and saluted: "It turned out that Ye Gonggong was here in person, and the lower officials are polite, please sit down."

Ye Xun's name is so loud that this Tao, who only recognizes money and not people, had to put down his body and take the initiative to get close to Ye Xun.

Ye Xun was also not polite, and after sitting down, he stopped Tao Lang's action of calling someone to serve tea, and said with a smile: "I think Master Tao must be wondering why Ye Mou suddenly appeared here?" To tell you the truth, I'm here to find adults to make a fortune together."

Tao Lang was stunned for a moment, then smiled as well, and said: "Ming people don't say secret words, this official likes to deal with straightforward people like Ye Gonggong the most, if you have any orders, even if Ye Gonggong says it, this official will fully cooperate."

Although this guy has the face of a corrupt official, Ye Xun likes such a person very much, at least it shows that this is a real villain, not afraid of your greed, just afraid of that kind of sanctimonious greed.

smiled and said: "Lord Tao must understand the truth of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, right?" ”...
