The day after Li Hongyu met with Li Hui and Li Liang, the Ming delegation posted a notice on the streets of Seoul, where they had just settled down, explaining the cause of the outbreak of the war in Seoul the night before.

According to the verification of the Ming mission, it was the North Korean army contacted by Ayayang Jun Li Liang who attacked Seoul last night, and its purpose was to prevent the Korean king Li Hui from plotting to kill the Ming mission, and then betray the Ming Dynasty to surrender to Houjin, in order to save the Korean people.

The reason why Li Ju thought that Li Hui wanted to murder the Ming mission was because he intercepted a letter with Li Hui's name and the king's seal, and the letter was written to Nurhachi, the Great Khan of the Later Jin, indicating that he betrayed the Ming Dynasty and took refuge in the Later Jin, and the name was the life of the Ming mission in Korea.

Li Liang, who learned of this, was shocked, he deeply felt that this matter was important, and prepared to do his own thing for the sake of the face of North Korea, so as not to anger the Ming Dynasty, so he contacted a group of people with lofty ideals to form a righteous army, and captured Gyeongbokgung Palace in one fell swoop last night, which led to a great riot in Seoul.

As for the letter, it was later found that the letter came from the hands of a powerful eunuch beside Li Hui, and the reason why he did this was because he heard rumors in the market that the Ming Dynasty wanted to abolish Li Hui's throne.

Because he didn't want to leave his hometown and go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty with Li Hui, and he didn't want to give up the glory and wealth in front of him, he forged Li Hui's letter to Nurhachi of Houjin, and secretly planned to attack the Ming envoys who were patrolling in other places.

When Li Hui took action, the eunuch realized that he had caused a big disaster, so he committed suicide by poisoning after confessing the truth.

As soon as the notice came out, it immediately caused a sensation in Seoul and became a topic of conversation after tea and dinner.

Although the vast majority of the people believed the contents of the notice, some people were skeptical, but since this notice was issued by the Ming Mission, it meant that the matter had been closed.

On the same day that the Ming mission posted the notice, Li Hui convened a meeting of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and was deeply saddened by such a misunderstanding, so he decided to settle Zen in Ayayangjun Li Liang.

When Li Hui announced the news of the Zen throne, the Manchu civil and military forces were in an uproar and dissuaded Li Hui one after another, knowing that at this time, the important official positions in the court were held by the Gubei Party and the Southern People's Party, and the Westerners who supported Li Wei were not eligible to attend.

In the face of the persuasion of the ministers, Li Hui had mixed feelings in his heart, he really didn't want to give the country of North Korea to others, but he had nothing to do about it, he withdrew from the court and left in the persuasion of the ministers, and then reported the matter of the Zen position to the Ming Mission.

The Ming mission dissuaded him as usual, but Li Hui "had made up his mind", so the Ming mission sent someone to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty by boat with Li Hui's envoy to ask the Emperor of the Apocalypse to take the throne, so that Li Ju could rightfully become the king of Joseon.

Seeing this situation, the Gubei Party and the Nanren Party realized that there was a chance that Ayayang Jun Li Liang would become the successor of the Joseon Dynasty, because the Ming Emperor was likely to invite Li Hui, who had already "unintentionally" taken the throne, so they came to visit Li Liang one after another.

Li Liang's performance at this time was very low-key, closing his doors, and he was only Ayayangjun until the arrival of the Emperor's decree to canonize him as the king of Joseon.

As for the prince Li Zhen, Li Hui did not pass on the throne to him on the grounds of his lack of qualifications, which caused another discussion from the outside world.

Just when the people in Seoul were making a fuss about Li Hui's throne, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin went to Incheon Port, boarded the Hailong warship, and went north to Donggang Island to work as a laborer.

Dongjiang Island.

Dongjiang Island is Phi Island, in the east of the Yalu River estuary in the west of the Korean Bay, about 15 miles from east to west, about 10 miles from north to south, the island is basically not grassy, the area is not large.

Because Phi Island is located between Liaodong, North Korea and Houjin, the sea surface of the north shore is only more than 80 miles away from the boundary of Houjin, and the Northeast Sea is the territory of North Korea, which is related to Liaodong, North Korea and Houjin, so the geographical location is very important.

Speaking of Dongjiang Island, we have to say that Li Hongyu was an old man when he was in Liaodong, and this old man was Mao Wenlong, who once served under Li Hongyu.

Mao Wenlong is a native of Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang, in the 33rd year of Wanli, the 29-year-old Mao Wenlong succeeded to his uncle in Anshan, Liaodong as his heir, and was later recommended by his uncle who was admitted to the Jinshi to serve under Li Chengliang.

In the same year, Mao Wenlong participated in the Liaodong Martial Arts Initiative, ranked sixth and was awarded 100 households, made great achievements on the battlefield, and was successively promoted to the garrison of Qianzong.

When Li Hongyu was the governor of Liaodong, in addition to vigorously promoting Man Gui, Mao Wenlong and several other generals were also the targets of his vigorous promotion, and he was grateful to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong originally served in Liaodong, and he did not expect to come to Dongjiang Island one day, in his opinion, the two cities of Shenyang and Liaoyang were impregnable, and Houjin would never be able to conquer them.

It's a pity that Liaodong finally fell, and in the chaos, Mao Wenlong led the crowd to remember Li Hongyu's previous advice, so he fled from Liaodong by sea, and took advantage of the emptiness of the garrison to kill the defenders of Houjin Zhenjiang, and achieved the "Zhenjiang Victory".

"Zhenjiang Victory" made the surrounding areas of Kuandian, Tang Station, dangerous mountains and other castles successively surrendered to Mao Wenlong, for a time "within hundreds of miles, the wind returned", "the people of Shun, the rope came", the whole Liao was shaken.

For this reason, the Ming court made an exception to promote Mao Wenlong as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Houjin was extremely shocked by the loss of Zhenjiang, and immediately dispatched a large army to encircle and suppress it.

After retreating into Korea, he fought fiercely with the Houjin army in the Linbian area, although he suffered heavy losses, but the Houjin also had huge losses, and finally had to retreat.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Mao Wenlong fought a decisive battle with the Houjin army in the forest was because the local Korean generals leaked Mao Wenlong's news to the Houjin, so that Mao Wenlong was surrounded in the forest.

It can be seen that Li Hui's neutrality policy has had an impact on the Korean army on the border, making the local Korean generals hope to eliminate Mao Wenlong who is operating in the local area, so as not to harm the pond fish, but they did not expect Mao Wenlong to defeat the Houjin army.

After the Battle of Linpan, Mao Wenlong's reputation was greatly enhanced, so he recruited refugees from Liaodong based on Phi Dao, Tieshan and Kuanju Mountains, and gradually grew stronger with the old and weak.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Keli succeeded as the governor of Denglai, and relied heavily on Mao Wenlong, and the court asked for Mao Wenlong's title, so the Ming court officially appointed Mao Wenlong as the general of Pingliao, and hung the seal of the former general to open the Dongjiang River.

After the establishment of Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong comforted the people of Liaodong who were displaced by the war, and resettled more than one million people before and after.

Houjin's officials once gritted their teeth and claimed: "Mao Wenlong's trouble, you should destroy your ears!" If Wenlong is not extinguished for a day, the treachery will not stop for a day, and the good people will not be restless for a day.

Yuan Keli attached great importance to Mao Wenlong, and only ten months after Mao Wenlong became the chief military officer, with his support, Mao Wenlong was able to increase his rank and advance again, and obtained the Shang Fang Sword given by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

This made Mao Wenlong in the limelight for a while, and the Dongjiang Army under his command was also famous, becoming a strong force of the Ming Army in Liaodong.

In fact, the reason why Mao Wenlong was able to sit on the Dongjiang River has a lot to do with the fact that the Later Jin Dynasty was not good at water warfare, and the Later Jin Dynasty could not fight with Mao Wenlong, who had many ships, without a naval warship, otherwise it would be difficult for Mao Wenlong to gain a foothold in the Dongjiang River.

on the Sea Dragon.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin stood on the bow deck of the ship, overlooking a small island in front of them, this small island is Dongjiang Island, and Mao Wenlong's seat is located on the island.

"Brother Li, General Mao has been promoted rapidly in recent years, and he has become a famous general of my Ming generation."

Zhao Xin glanced at Dongjiang Island, which was getting closer and closer, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile, "I heard that this person is arrogant, and there are many exaggerated things in his affairs, so he asks for money, and I don't know if he will give us face." ”

"I had a relationship with him when I was in Liaodong, although this person was a little arrogant, but he was indeed a rare general, and he should give me a little thin face and not make the scene too embarrassing."

Li Hongyu immediately laughed when he heard this, he naturally knew that Mao Wenlong was a little arrogant, so he said with a smile, "According to my understanding of him, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is greedy for money, the Dongjiang River hangs alone on the sea, and he has no economic resources and relies on government assistance, if he doesn't lie about his military exploits, I'm afraid the court won't give him money, how do you let him feed so many people?" ”

"Brother Li, I didn't expect you to be a person who protects calves, and the outside world is rumoring that Mao Wenlong is not doing anything, but you defend him."

Zhao Xin also laughed when he heard this, if other officials learned that Mao Wenlong had falsely reported his military exploits, he would definitely reprimand him, but Li Hongyu didn't mind at all, this was clearly to protect Mao Wenlong.

"Brother Zhao, what I'm saying is the truth, we all know the finances of the imperial court, if Mao Wenlong doesn't ask for military pay in this way, I'm afraid the imperial court won't give him too much funding."

Li Hongyu smiled a little helplessly, in the final analysis, it was the financial constraints of the Ming Dynasty, and the priority was given to the supply of Liaoxi, I am afraid that a lot of food and wages in Dongjiang Town have been owed, and he felt extremely sorry for this situation.

"Brother Li, no wonder those soldiers are in awe of you, it is their blessing to have a commander like you who is sympathetic to his subordinates." Zhao Xin knew that Li Hongyu felt sorry for the soldiers who were owed grain and grass by the imperial court, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Since we can't change the overall situation now, let's do what we can." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and then looked at Dongjiang Island again, Dongjiang Island was an important military base for the Jin Laochao after the attack, and he must find a way to protect it.

Dongjiang Island, the General Military Office.

In the bedroom, a burly middle-aged man fell asleep with a young woman in his arms, snorting a lot of alcohol from his mouth, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine last night.

This middle-aged man is Mao Wenlong, the commander of the Dongjiang River, the fastest promoted military general in Liaodong by the Ming Dynasty, and the only military general who holds the Shang Fang sword.

"Lord Commander, the imperial court sent someone to ****, did you come out to greet you?" At that moment, a guard came to the door and shouted through the door.

"Get out!"

Mao Wenlong was woken up from his sleep, smacked his mouth dissatisfiedly, and scolded the guards outside the door, feeling quite dissatisfied that he had disturbed his sleep.

Obviously, Mao Wenlong had heard what the guard said, but he didn't seem to care about it at all, isn't it just to ****, just let the deputy chief soldier go and greet him, where do you need him to come out? You must know that he has the Shang Fang Sword given by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, how can he easily greet those cats and dogs?

Besides, Mao Wenlong couldn't get used to the high-minded faces of those **** officials who came to the ****, and they were arrogant when they only brought a little something every time, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

"Lord Commander, this **** is different from the past, the ships that come are not only huge but also have strange styles, the small ones have never seen them before, it seems that there are many people who come from here."

If it was left in the past, Mao Wenlong's scolding would have made the guard retreat with interest, but now the situation is different, the guard still stayed outside the door to report, "But the other party's official position is very strange, and the leader is a left...... Left what room for the big bachelor. ”

"Bachelor!" Hearing this, Mao Wenlong, who was about to open his mouth to scold the guard, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of surprise on his face.
