King Gyeong, Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Li Hao was a king supported by the Tatars themselves, and the Tatars never imagined that this king would not become a subservient vassal.

Li Hao ascended the throne, Li Chaoyu's book and Zhishi did not write the Tatar year number, and only used the heavenly stem and earth branches.

The Tatars entered the customs, and the control of the Li Dynasty gradually changed from high-pressure and severity to Huai Rou, and the life of the Li Dynasty gradually improved.

Li Hao reactivated Kim Sang-hun, Song Shiyeol and other ministers who were willing to rebel, and expelled the old people. The Parliamentary Ministers are involved in the discussions, but they are not included in the written file.

The basis of all preparations is, of course, the military, and Li Hao summoned his henchmen and the ministers of the Frontier Bureau.

Li Hao set the tone first: "Today's major events are bound to die. The former Khan brothers had a lot of talents, but now they are gradually depleted, and the captives are full of mediocrity. The former Khan specialized in martial arts, but now the martial arts are gradually abandoned, quite similar to China. Zhu Zi said that the captivity of the Central Plains and the teaching of the Chinese system gradually declined. I am very familiar with the affairs of the captivity, and now the sweat is in the wine color, and it will not be long. ”

Li Hao often conveyed such ideas to his ministers to cheer them up, and although his judgment was not as accurate as he himself claimed, Li Chao and his whole people were indeed inspired by the monarch's success in inspiring revenge.

"I want to set up a fort by the river to guard the town, recruit people to live in, and cultivate for the army under the town, what do you think?"

Song Shilie: "Your Highness said well. In that year, I saw that the defenders by the river were unprepared, and the Tartar army was near the river, and there was no equipment on the river. ”

Li Hao nodded, and his tone was very firm: "The renovation of the border fort is just the beginning, the Central Plains has been in turmoil for a long time, and our country must not steal peace, and when the city is repaired and the army is trained, it is a strategy for self-improvement." ”

"What is Your Highness's will?"

"Reset the forbidden brigade on the left and right, Yuan Dou Dippy, your lord Jianghua, let Li Houyuan dominate Anxing, Li Shifang dominate Nanhan Mountain City, and Hong Ming Xia dominates Ziyan Island. Learn Lanyi, repair the fort city. I will personally inspect the armies! ”

Song Shilie bowed to the ground, "The holy will is like this, it is not my east, it is really the luck of the world." ”

Li Hao sighed and said, "If there are 100,000 elite soldiers, you can be deeply righteous in the world." ”

Of course, 100,000 field troops are beyond the ability of Li Chao, Li Hao is to say.

Yuan Doubi straightened his body, "Your Highness, my country's military training and food can take revenge on the shame, and the small can protect the country and the people." ”

Li Hao smiled approvingly, "What Qing said is the right thing." ”

Donggong Zanshan Song Junji played, "Your Highness, I heard that the emperor's family is biased to the south, and the unification of the world is not all stolen by Wei thieves. China is indifferent to each other, so I suggest that we send people to Guangdong in the guise of a sea-drifting merchant to have direct contact with China and the DPRK. ”

Song Shilie stroked his beard and nodded frequently, "Thousands of miles of waves, the information is difficult to transmit, but the sincerity is not far away." The grace of the monarch and the minister, not in the emperor's country, should send someone to contact. ”

"Who do you think is appropriate?"

"In a kingdom of kings, people, civil and military, will there not be those who are faithful and conscientious and willing to do it? The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and Your Highness should hold a secret discussion after the meeting. ”

Li Hao: "Don't worry. ”

Song Shilie kowtowed again, "Your Highness, colleagues. The ugly people have been living in the Central Plains for a long time, and the resentment and anger of China are rising, the remnants of shaving their hair, not forgetting the heart of the Han, listening to the sound of the wind, and the general trend of the world can be known. Our country is in a critical place, and after living in the world, it has the shape of prosperity. We should be waiting for the time, taking advantage of the situation, revitalizing a brigade, galloping, advocating for the world, and knowing that the will of heaven is not in our country? ”

Li Hao said word by word with the boxing case, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been sleeping all night, preparing for the rain, how dare I forget the heart of the north one day, at this time, the arrangement is completed, and at the beginning of the deployment, I hope you will do your best to help me." ”

The ministers said in unison, "I am willing to die for His Highness." ”

At the end of the meeting, the ministers left Gyeongbokgung Palace, and only Song Junji remained.

"Your Highness, Lin Qingye has sent someone again."

"What did you say?"

"He asked for our help."

"What does Lin Qingye need?"

"People and food."

Li Hao stood up and took two steps back and forth, "We can't give it to people openly, tell Lin Qingye that he can send people to recruit in China, and we won't stop it." ”

"Your Highness, what about the grain?"

"We also have to hoard food, Dongjiang can buy grain, but not delivery."

"Yes, Your Highness. Dongjiang also has this attitude, and their commander Zhang Pengfei said that the new Dongjiang is absolutely different from the old Dongjiang, and it will only trade fairly with China. But they had just arrived on the island, and they were under-cultivated, and they wanted us to sell more food. ”

Li Hao frowned, "Selling too much will definitely attract the attention of the ugly, you have to think of a way, you really can't help them contact the owner of Tsushima Island and buy grain from Japan." ”

"The minister understands, the minister thinks, take this opportunity to buy some arms and weapons from Yangyi."

"Yes, buy arms. They are hateful, but their weapons are excellent. This matter, as well as the matter of recruiting people to send an envoy to Guangdong, will be handed over to you. ”

"Yes."

Li Hao emphasized, "Remember, act secretly. ”

"The minister knows."

Song Junji kowtowed and left, and Li Hao rested on the throne.

A long life as a hostage with the Tatars taught Li Hao to be cautious.

The Tatars were relatively loose in their supervision of the Li Dynasty, but at this time, Li Hao could not make any excessive moves, at least on the surface. Therefore, Beijing sent shotgunners to reinforce Ningguta, and the Li Dynasty immediately sent troops.

These shotgunners took turns and changed shifts every six months, accumulating actual combat experience in battles with the Rakshasas. This dispatch of troops gave Li Hao a reason to train shotgunslingers. The Tatars were unaware of his intentions to reorganize the army.

The Li dynasty began a slow but effective latent mobilization.

Lin Qingye's envoy returned to Dongjiang and reported positive news to Zhang Pengfei, Ding Yaokang, and others.

Zhang Pengfei sold the silk and other goods seized in Shandong last year in Korea and the Tsushima Domain in exchange for grain and other materials.

Shen Tingyang monopolized the Beiyang trade in those years, and his fleet was accustomed to running in northern China, and he was familiar with the grain transportation on the Dongjiang River and the Korean shipping routes. This time, the Shandong military and civilians will be transported to the Dongjiang River, and the return trip will not be empty, and some northern goods will be brought back by the way.

North Korea has a great demand for cane sugar and silk, and there is certainly no shortage of sales for fur, ginseng, and Korean paper from Liaodong and North Korea when they are shipped to the south. Shen Tingyang took this opportunity to completely open the door of North Korea's maritime trade.

However, the cargo obtained this time was not enough to fill the returning fleet.

Zhang Pengfei still had to get a little bit for the returning fleet from the mainland.

The Tatars entered the customs, peace was achieved outside the customs, and the population production of eastern Liaodong resumed growth.

In 1653, the Tatars promulgated the "Regulations on the Recruitment and Reclamation of Liaodong", recruiting 100 immigrants, and the civil officials gave the county knowledge and the military attaché gave the garrison. For every 100 people, immigrants are given 1 bucket of official grain per day, 6 liters of seeds per land, 20 cattle for every 100 people, and three years of free money and grain. The treatment of this immigrant was better than that of Sun Kewang's soldiers, and the immigrants from Shandong Zhili entered Liaodong one after another and cultivated them in Nansiwei.

The town of Dongjiang abandoned Lushun and regained mobility. Zhang Pengfei was stationed on Dachangshan Island, Li Jinwen was stationed on Guanglu Island, and Lin Qingye was stationed on Xiaochangshan Island. Then the troops attacked.

The south wind was calm, and Dongjiang Town carried out a sabotage attack on a broad front from the mouth of the Yalu River in the east to Laizhou Bay in the west.

The Ming army carried a lot of sampans and offshore galleys, and frequently landed and attacked.

Wu Sangui was on the front line of Sichuan and Guizhou, and his hometown Ningyuan had few troops, so Zhang Pengfei landed on Juehua Island, returned to the island where he had been stationed, and copied the manor near the coast of the Wu domain.

The town of Dongjiang unearthed an unexpected Allied force.

Escapees.

Throughout the Shunzhi period, even in northern China, where peaceful rule had been achieved, the Eight Banners continued to hunt slaves at will. There are brides on the way to welcome their relatives, and there are brides who return to the door after marriage, who are taken into the camp as slaves by Manchuria.

After the Eight Banners entered the customs, a large number of Han slaves fled, and the number was so large that Manchuria had to give up the slave economy, so there was the "Fugitive Law".

The situation of Han Chinese slaves was extremely miserable. The Tatar court's order not to torture and kill slaves was a piece of waste paper, and the head of the family privately forced him to die and reported it as suicide.

"My master won't give me food and clothes."

"My master beat me twice a day, and I couldn't get out because I couldn't stand it."

"I can't be angry when I am beaten and scolded by my master."

"Because of the flood, they fled with every man to eat."

"My wife was brutalized by her master and had to flee."

The situation is generally similar for the fugitives taken in by Dongjiang.

Eight Banners punched three holes in the slave girl's ear, and there was no escape.

The law of fugitives in Shunzhi is extremely strict, and there are even biological daughters who have fled home, and their fathers dare not take them in.

The fugitive slave was caught once, whipped a hundred, and his face was tattooed with Han Shuangwen, and he escaped. The second direct kill.

The Tatars controlled the territory so tightly that the slaves who had regained their freedom could not return to their homeland, and they gathered into the mountains. There are many such so-called "bandits" in the territory of Beizhili.

Shanxi and the south could not go, and the fugitives could only hide in Mongolia, Zhili, and Shandong.

With fugitives with combat experience as the backbone, some of the fugitives picked up knives and guns to take revenge on the Manchurians.

These people took the initiative to serve Dongjiang Town, or led the way to the shore to copy. Add a boost to Zhang Pengfei.
