Chapter 677: Liaoxi is in an emergency

Since Li Liang succeeded to the throne, he naturally couldn't forget the heroes who followed him in the coup d'état, so the second holy decree he issued was to reward those who had made meritorious contributions on the night of the coup, called "Jingshe Meritorious Heroes".

According to Li Liang's edict, the heroes of the Jingshe Society were divided into three classes, and there were several people in each class.

There are ten people in the first class, with Jin Yuan, including Li Gui, Shen Jingshen, Li Shu, Cui Mingji, and Li Xingli.

There were fifteen people in the second class, with Li Shiwei as the leader, including Shen Jingshen's brother Shen Jingyu.

There are 28 people in the third class, with Park Weiming as the leader, including Li Houpei and Li Houyuan, brothers who were arrested and tortured by Park Chengzong and swore to death.

As soon as this edict was issued, Li Hongyu immediately saw the problem inside, as the commander of the "Righteous Army", Li Shi did not rank as a first-class meritorious hero, but only a second-class meritorious hero, which seemed quite inappropriate.

Of course, Li Shi is not a Westerner, and the commander of his "Righteous Army" is just a Westerner Party to recruit soldiers, and he only hurriedly joined the "Righteous Army" before the coup, so it is understandable that he is ranked second from the perspective of proximity and proximity.

But in this way, Li Shi will lose face, thinking that he is the dignified commander of the "Righteous Army", the highest official in the Westerner Party before the rebellion, and now he is not as good as his nominal subordinates Li Gui and Li Shu, this breath is really difficult to swallow.

Li Hongyu did not intervene in Li Liang's planning of this third-class meritorious hero, in his opinion, this was Li Liang's private matter, and it was inconvenient for him to intervene.

Obviously, the Hancheng government's sentence of Yin, coupled with the fact that he was only a second-class meritorious hero, these two things together gave Li Shi a heavy blow.

Li Shi is a smart person, although he swallowed this breath, he didn't make a sound, and he has been secretly waiting for an opportunity.

In fact, Li Shi's opportunity came soon, because the Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province in the north of North Korea border the territory of Houjin, so he has been under tremendous military pressure, especially the frequent friction and conflict between Pyongan Province and Houjin.

Li Liang was worried that Houjin would attack after learning of Li Hui's throne, so he needed to send a military attache with prestige to serve as the Jiedu envoy of the Peace Dao.

Many officials of the Westerner Party suggested that Li Shi should go, Li Shi was originally quite talented in military affairs, otherwise he would not have become the festival envoy of Hamgyong Province before, and if you taste it carefully, you will see that there is a meaning of excluding Li Shih.

Li Shi readily agreed, and after resigning from the post of Judge Yin of the Seoul Prefecture, he went to Pyongan Province, and after his arrival, he trained soldiers, strengthened the city, set up city fences, equipped with firearms, and put on a picture of concentrating on defense.

In Li Hongyu's view, Li Shi's reaction is both a good thing and a bad thing, the good thing is that Li Shi's single-minded defense will effectively resist the Houjin army, and the bad thing is that Li Shi's approach is quite suspicious of supporting the army and self-respecting.

What happened later also verified Li Hongyu's guess, Li Shi was indeed unwilling to be treated unfairly, so he launched his crazy revenge.

Yi Liang's third edict surprised everyone's expectations, and he issued an edict abolishing the "subordinate mother law" that had existed since the Goryeo period, stipulating that both the concubines and concubines should be of clan blood.

With the abolition of the "subordinate mother law", the imperial examination system in North Korea has also changed, and the children of the two classes of nobles have lost their former privileges, and if they want to become officials, they must participate in the imperial examination like the Ming Dynasty.

This will fundamentally change the pattern in which the two classes of nobles monopolize the government, give the Korean scholars hope for advancement, and will be of great benefit to promoting social development.

As soon as the news came out, the whole Korean Shilin rejoiced, and many people wept with joy, they saw the hope of becoming the powerful of the court, and those high-ranking officials and important positions were in the pocket of the two classes of nobles in the past, but now they were given a chance.

It is worth mentioning that under Li Hongyu's "suggestion", Li Liang decided to use the code of the Ming Dynasty, so that the relationship with the Ming Dynasty would be closer.

As an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Li Hongyu naturally also wanted to send a congratulatory gift to Li Liang, and he decided to set up a trade market in the port of Incheon and Pusan, and trade with the DPRK by water, which would greatly promote the DPRK economy and benefit the DPRK a lot every year.

Originally, Li Hongyu wanted to stay in North Korea for a while longer, after all, North Korea has just experienced such a major event as the change of dynasty, and the forces of the various factions in the court have not yet been balanced, and the affairs facing it can be described as a thousand things.

In addition, Li Hongyu did not want to return to Beijing too early, and the results of the three-year Beijing inspection of the Apocalypse would be announced in March and April, and the officialdom in the capital would be bloody at that time, so it was better for him to avoid it.

However, in early April, a sudden but foreseen event made Li Hongyu's desire to stay in North Korea come to naught.

That afternoon, when Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were watching the exercises of the North Korean martial arts that had passed the martial arts examination in the Ming army camp in Seoul, a guard hurriedly brought him an urgent letter, which was an urgent document sent by the capital.

Vaguely, Li Hongyu had an ominous premonition, at this time, the imperial court sent him an urgent document must have something wrong in Liaoxi, otherwise how could he send him an urgent item?

Sure enough, Li Hongyu opened the urgent item and looked at it, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Something happened to Liaoxi?" Zhao Xin couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this, and asked with a concerned expression.

"Guangning was lost, and the official army was crushed for thousands of miles and retreated to Shanhaiguan." Li Hongyu shook his head helplessly, and handed over the urgent item in his hand to Zhao Xin with a gloomy expression.

"What?" A look of shock appeared on Zhao Xin's face, he didn't expect the Ming army in Liaoxi to be defeated so badly, so he hurriedly took the official document and checked it.

"Alas!" After reading the inner concession on the official document, Zhao Xin couldn't help but sigh, although she had been mentally prepared, but the Ming army in Liaoxi was defeated a little too quickly. You must know that the city of Guangning can gather heavy troops of the Ming army.

"Brother Zhao, the matter here will be handed over to you, I will leave you two thousand men and horses, and bring the rest back to the capital." Li Hongyu groaned for a while, and said to Zhao Xin in a deep voice.

Emperor Tianqi asked Li Hongyu to lead the army back to Beijing in an official document, and let Zhao Xin stay in Korea to form the Yalu River defense line, Li Hongyu was worried about Zhao Xin's safety in Korea, so he left her 2,000 men to be transferred.

"Heart!"

Zhao Xin's eyes suddenly showed a look of concern when he heard this, although the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not have it in the official document, but if he wanted Li Hongyu to clean up the mess, the situation would be very dangerous.

After all, the fact that Hou Jin was able to defeat the Ming army in Liaoxi so quickly meant that its combat effectiveness was strong, and now that the main force of the Ming army in Liaoxi had been wiped out, there were not many troops that the imperial court could mobilize.

"Don't worry, the situation is much better now than when I was in Liaodong, and I will definitely return safely." Li Hongyu saw Zhao Xin's worried expression, so he smiled slightly, and said disapprovingly, he didn't want Zhao Xin to worry.

Zhao Xin wanted to go back to Beijing with Li Hongyu, but she knew that it was impossible, so the corners of her mouth squirmed, and finally swallowed this thought back, and she could only bless Li Hongyu in her heart.

Because the official document sent by the imperial court can be described as urgent, Li Hongyu did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to Gyeongbokgung Palace to bid farewell to Li Liang, and did not hide the defeat of Liaoxi from President Li but told the truth.

This made Li Liang surprised by this, but at the same time, he was also very relieved that Li Hongyu's move meant that he did not treat him as an outsider.

Li Hongyu asked Li Liang to seize the time to reorganize his armament and build a defense line on the Yalu River as soon as possible, only in this way could the security of North Korea be ensured, so that the Houjin soldiers could not go south to the Yalu River.

Li Liang naturally knew the seriousness of the situation, so he nodded yes to Li Hongyu's instructions again and again, and personally sent Li Hongyu out of the palace.

After leaving Gyeongbokgung Palace, Li Hongyu went to the State Guest House to summon the officials of the Ming Mission and told them that he was going back to the capital and let everyone have the power to assist Zhao Xin.

The officials were very curious about this, and they didn't know what was going on, and they wanted to make Li Hongyu leave North Korea suddenly, but Li Hongyu naturally didn't ask for a reason, and they hid this doubt deep in their hearts.

"My lord, when will you come to North Korea again?" Unlike those silent members of the Ming Mission, Li Yier couldn't hold back the reluctance in her heart, and looked at him with a gloomy expression after finishing the salute for Li Hongyu and asked.

Ever since Li Yi's coup d'état and the entire Seoul was stirred up by the rebels, Li Yier has already understood why Li Hongyu asked her to go back to her hometown to visit her family, obviously for the sake of their safety, and many people died in the chaos that night.

Li Yier and Li Hongyu have been together for so long, and they are naturally attracted by Li Hongyu's personality charm, although Li Hongyu seems to her to have a habit of dragon yang, but she still likes to be with the personable and talented Li Hongyu.

"I'm afraid it won't come in the future." Li Hongyu said with a smile when he heard this, how could he not feel Li Yi'er's nostalgia for him, so he had to cut off her thoughts, so as not to harm her, and time would naturally dilute everything.

"My lord, how can I find you?" Li Yi'er's eyes turned red when she heard this, and after biting her lip, she finally asked, and two blushes flew up on her cheeks.

"I don't know where I'm going to be transferred, but we'll see you again." Li Hongyu naturally couldn't tell Li Yi'er, so he smiled at Li Yi'er and walked away.

Li Yi'er's face was suddenly filled with a look of disappointment, leaning on the door and staring blankly at Li Hongyu's distant back, tears fell unconsciously, she couldn't imagine that Li Hongyu was so ruthless and didn't give her a chance at all.

Seeing this, several maids around hurriedly walked away, Li Yi'er was different from them, they were maids who served people, and Li Yi'er was the daughter of Bing Cao's judgment, so how dare they disturb Li Yi'er.

"Humph! You don't let me look for you, I want to find you, don't think I don't know that you are an official in Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty. After a long time, Li Yier wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said with hatred in her heart.

She is not the kind of person who gives up easily, from Li Hongyu's usual speech, she feels that Li Hongyu should serve in Jiangnan, because Li Hongyu is very familiar with Jiangnan in his words, and he also knows a lot of Jiangnan tunes.

Moreover, Jiangnan is a place where the humanities of the Ming Dynasty gather, and the literati and elegant guests of the Ming Dynasty all like to go to Jiangnan, and Li Hongyu's literary talent and talent must also like Jiangnan.

At this moment, Li Hongyu would never have thought that he had caused another peach blossom debt, and the relationship with Li Yier would not end so smoothly.

However, Li Hongyu did not have the heart and energy to think about Li Yi'er at all, so he urgently mobilized a part of the Ming army stationed in Seoul and rushed all the way to Incheon Port.

Li Hongyu did not have time to rest in Incheon, so he ordered the Ming army in Inchon to board the ship immediately after assembling and rushed to the port of Tianjin overnight.

In the quiet night, Li Hongyu stood on the bow deck of the Sea Dragon blowing the sea breeze, and the sound of waves in his ears also caused ripples in his heart.

Li Hongyu has long known that he has to face the arrival of this day, and he wants to stop it but has more than enough strength, will Wang Huazhen listen to him? And in the eyes of outsiders, his hand is a little too long.

"Alas!" Li Hongyu couldn't help but sigh, hoping that everything would go smoothly when he went back this time, and there would be no more unnecessary twists and turns.
