Kaesong, North Korea, Min Province. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The civil and military ministers under Min Honghao rode horses and sedan chairs to the door of the Min Mansion one by one, and after tidying up their clothes, they walked to the mansion without saying a word.
The big boss suddenly issued an urgent order to summon him, and these people didn't dare to delay at all.
But none of them knew what was going on. Including Min Hongho's eldest son, Min Jin-ho, who is now in charge of the Kaesong City Defense Army.
Kaesong is an important city in Korea, it was the royal capital of the Goryeo period, one of the four capitals of the Joseon Dynasty, and the birthplace of the famous Kaesong merchants of Joseon.
Of course, with the invasion of the Manchus, the merchants of Kaesong or something, everything has disappeared. By the time the city returned to the hands of the Koreans, the total number of people in the city was less than 2,000, and the city was even more ruined and desolate.
In the past two years, the Min family has put a lot of effort into restoring Kaesong. But city houses can be repaired, but the large and powerful merchant class cannot reappear as quickly as those that can be repaired one by one.
Min Hongho moved here after the New Year, and the Min army, which had been near Gyeonggi, also withdrew to Kaesong.
This mansion was also specially built by the Min family, and was called the Governor's Mansion by the common people, and the lobby was larger than the ordinary three houses, and it was also wide, and could accommodate thirty or fifty people. The ground floor is paved with one-foot-square blue bricks, and there are two rows of tables and chairs on the left and right, and at the top is Min Hongho's seat.
There are more than 20 people in each column on the left and right, these are the backbone and power figures of the Min group, all of them sit solemnly.
Min Hongho doesn't look old at all, his hair is black and shiny, his face is full of red light, and he can't see any wrinkles. Where is it like a person in his forties and fifties, who looks younger than the Pyongyang metropolitan before the collapse of the dynasty.
Min Zhenhao, who was familiar with his father, immediately noticed the exhilarating nerves under his father's expressionless face, and looked at his eyes, which were like a flame burning.
There must be something good, or a great thing.
Opposite Min Zhenhao is Min Zhenyu, Min Zhenhao's cousin, the second son of Min Hongxun, another center of gravity of the Min family, who is now staying in Kaesong.
Before North Korea was shattered, this was all a member of the second grade.
In North Korea at that time, the judgment of Seoul Prefecture was definitely the second grade. The governors of the four capitals: Kaesong Mansion, Jianghua Mansion, Suwon Mansion and Guangzhou Mansion are called left-behind, which can be positive or second.
At that time, Kaesong was an extremely important position, but now, that's the same thing. Excluding the influence of Min Hongxun, the so-called Kaesong stay is far less powerful than Min Zhenhao, who holds military power.
Min Hongho and Min Hongxun don't have any major contradictions, they have seen each other's future. It's just that the juniors below them, but a new round of competition has already begun.
Because no matter how large a family is, its resources are limited.
"Everyone!" Min Hongho straightened his back, his eyes swept over the hall, and he was majestic. He said unhurriedly: "The governor of Bentu has just received the will of the royal capital, and he has been ordered to inspect the northern land to clear the two provinces of Anning Gangwon and Hamgyong [northwest Korea]. He also followed the secret decree of the angels to investigate the traitors of Gangwon Province and Hamgyong Province to eliminate all evil. ”
Min Hongho did not have the official will issued by the Seoul Imperial Court in his hand, the will in his hand was handed to him by Chen Zhongsheng, and Sun Xuren, who passed the decree, had just gone to rest.
But for the Min family, a dog fed by China, this is enough.
A look of surprise flashed on the faces of the civil and military people in the lobby, but everyone still got up, bowed down and said, "Congratulations to the governor, congratulations to the governor!" ”
Anyway, it's a good thing, right? Although subconsciously I feel a little wrong. After all, this is doing things for the angels, that is, doing things for the kingdom. Can that be without their benefits?
Although the Min family is still very stable at the moment, this semi-secession situation cannot last, unless the feudal system is formally established in Seoul. Otherwise, in North Korea, where Confucian culture is deeply influenced, what the Min family did was rebellion. And Min Hongho wants to replace the 'governor' on his head with a marshal and a metropolitan protector, so he must rely on China's support.
The current Min Jiajun, the current North Korea, no one is unwilling to do things for China. Because no matter what, there will be abundant rewards.
Min Hongho waved his hand, and his voice had a hint of trilling: "You don't have to congratulate first, everyone has thought about this matter first." The kingdom will not send troops to fight with us, and we can only rely on ourselves. Gangwon-do and Hamgyong-do are not good stubbles, and we have to take a big risk if we get in, and you are all old people who have followed me for decades. When the old man is about to fight, he wants to ask you if you are willing to go. "Min Hongho: This is to unify thoughts.
The Min family now straddles the eastern part of Hwanghae-do, holding Kaesong, which is the northern end of Gyeonggi-do, plus Yeheung, which is on the edge of Seoul. This is also a big reason why Chen Zhongsheng asked Min Hongho to take the initiative to withdraw to Kaesong. He used Min Hongho to show his sincerity.
But it is clear that the damned rats in Hamgyong Province and Gangwon Province have a tacit understanding with some of the North Korean leaders in Seoul. Some officials in Seoul just won't agree. Then Chen Zhongsheng can only follow the emperor's wishes, greet people by himself, and do it directly!
All the civil and military officers present stood up: "The last general [lowly duty] is willing to follow the governor." ”
Min Hongho showed a hint of a smile: "Okay, good." Everyone didn't disappoint me, everyone here is my Min humerus! ”
This time, the Min army was going to attack Gangwon Province and Hamgyong Province alone, and the combined strength of the forces there was more than the Min army. But Min Hongho is definitely not afraid of this, there are not more wars than anyone. Gangwon Province and Hamgyong Province except for a few troops, the rest are rabble. It's the real hard thing to occupy the place!
And this time, there is no cooperation from Chen Han's father on the surface, and even the will of Chen Han's father on the surface, so you can imagine what will happen to the Min family army after they enter Gangwon Province and Hamgyong Province.
Not to mention the slander and abuse of the whole country, if you don't know the people of Huanghaedo, you may attack Kaesong. The stakes are not small!
But it's an opportunity. In the long run, it is an opportunity to solve the big problem of the 'future' of the Min family. If he swallows up most of the territory of Gangwon and Hamgyong Province, Min Hongho will have the confidence to stand side by side with Seoul.
The angel just gave Min Jiajun a chance. If he fails, Min Hongho can't think of what will happen to him. But he had no choice!
"Since the river was broken, everyone has been tossing with the old man for all these years, killing countless times in the rain of bullets, and countless times in the sea of swords and fires, but we have never seen a single hope." Without a long-term future, heavy infamy and moral failure, die-hard loyalty is a sharp blade hanging over the head of the Min family's army.
"Until now, now our hope has come!"
"The rebels in Gangwon Province and Hamgyong Province dare to communicate with the remnants of Qing, and Shangguo will definitely not want them to live well."
"We are on behalf of the country and for the DPRK to eradicate these rebellions that have forgotten their roots."
"At that time, our territory will not be limited to the current half of Hwanghae-do, the entire Gangwon-do, and the entire Hamgyong Province will be ours." What's more, they won the favor of the upper kingdom.
"The purging is a merit, it is a credit to be able to expand the army, to be promoted, and to help the country stabilize the whole of Korea in the future. We have to fight together this time, not only for me, but also for you.
There is no hope for North Korea. But the country can still rely on. This is our future credit, the capital of future glory and wealth. "It's all in the interest of the red fruit.
Speaking of this, Min Hongho glanced at it and saw that all the people were stiff. No one here is stupid, and Min Hongho's words can be understood. There is no hope for North Korea, and North Korea cannot succeed.
But Sangkook is next to it, and the future of North Korea lies in Sangguku.
And everyone naturally maintained the same agreement with Min Hongho, abandoning North Korea and their homeland. Don't forget, what kind of 'background' the Min family is. They're traitors.
Now that Seoul has really been completely surrendered, who dares to have hope for North Korea and those two classes of nobles? The urine nature of those people will definitely be liquidated after gaining power. The ordinary soldiers in the army are okay, but what about these generals?
People don't kill for themselves, don't blame them for not having a heart.
It has been two or three years since the Manchus withdrew from Korea, and it is not that they have not communicated with Seoul, but what is the result?
What day in these two years have they not been worried?
How many people want to go to China simply!
They are cornered. If North Korea continues to exist, it will be the greatest disaster for them.
But now Min Hongho pointed out a wide road for them, and unswervingly followed Shangguo, even if it overturned the entire North Korea, as long as North Korea was attached, even if North Korea changed to a new king, even if they followed the boss tomorrow to disarm and return to the field, the rest of their lives will be safe and stable, happy and happy.
Judging from the actions of the Celestial Empire in Korea, the angel actually ordered the governor to attack Gangwon and Hamgyong, and the possibility of this Korean attachment is still very large, and if it is really attached, judging from the current situation, the treatment behind this can really be expected.
The kingdom of God has never let down those who have worked for him.
For those of them who are destined to be less than in the same pot as Seoul, this is definitely the most precious opportunity.
Min Hongho sighed again, but he didn't say what kind of promise Chen Zhongsheng had to him. Everything depends on Min Jiajun's own hard work!
Some of the things that Chen Zhongsheng promised will also be realized stage by stage after they have completed a certain stage of tasks.
And now the things that the Min family army can get ......, Min Hongho's eyes turned cold and swept at everyone.
"You can't fight a war without money." He did not mention the arms, but only said the military salary: "All officers and soldiers who participated in the war will be rewarded with 100 Chinese yuan and 100 Chinese yuan each." During the war, military salaries were doubled, plus subsidies doubled. "That's three times as much as it used to be.
"The civil and military below the fifth grade and so on, and the civil and military above the fifth grade will be doubled."
Gold and silver wealth is always the best means to boost morale, especially for a warlord army like the Min family, military pay is everything.
And the wealth of millions of Chinese dollars is not worth mentioning for China, let alone paper money.
"After entering Gangwon-do and Hamgyong-do, you can move around as you please."
As a high-level civil and military officer in the army, this is the real source of wealth, unlike the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers who mainly rely on military salaries for their income.
"But remember, you are not allowed to kill people at will. The North Koreans have already died enough, and it is better not to shed unnecessary bloodshed. "North Korea's current misery is painful for every North Korean. This also includes Min Hongho.
……
The Min family army is in action, and Chen Zhongsheng in Seoul will not really do nothing, watching Min Honghao's head break and bleed.
The closest site to the Min Jiajun is Haizhou in the middle of the Yellow Sea Road.
Everyone also knows that the so-called eight provinces of North Korea, except for Gyeonggi Province, are all named after the names of the two most important cities in one of them.
Gangwon-do is Gangneung and Wonju, and Hwanghae-do is Hwangju and Haeju.
The latter is the key place for Seoul to balance Min Hongho.
The commander of the army is the former general of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, Kim Ki-dae. As for the elder brother of the former queen of Joseon, the dragon and tiger general who also has a lot of fame in North Korea, why was he 're-appointed' to come to Haizhou, then I have to ask the Andong Kim family, which is the only family in the royal party.
At the same time that Min Hong-ho received the order, Kim Ki-dae of Haeju also received a secret decree from Chen Jong-sung.
The eunuch who announced the decree, Kim Ki-dae, also knew one of his sister's henchmen eunuchs. Jin Jida knelt on the ground, listening to the eunuch's decree, and his heart was a little complicated.
The meaning of the decree is to ask him to go to Jeju Island and become the so-called Jeju pastor.
It also added the title of 'Right Parliament'.
This is the official position of Zhengyipin. The biggest official in North Korea is the leader of the Zhengyipin, and then the left and right of the Zhengyipin. If it was ten years ago, the Qingfeng Jin family could produce a right minister, it would be a glorious event for the entire Jin family. But now, in the eyes of countless North Koreans, the so-called right-wing government is not as important as Jeju Mu.
The latter can mean endless wealth.
And the current North Korea, either there are soldiers or wealth, if you can hook up with the Han army stationed in Korea, it won't be too beautiful.
Of course, if Kim Ki-dae obeyed, he would be promoted, but he would have no actual military power.
Kim Ki-dae, who was stationed in Haizhou, held most of the Hwanghae-do and more than 10,000 troops, among which the 4,000-strong Dragon and Tiger Battalion could be said to be the elite of the North Korean official army. Then Jeju Mu Ke can't control the army of Hwanghae-do.
"Dadu Hu, please take the order!" The eunuch who read the will saw that he was still stunned, and couldn't help but remind him.
Only then did Kim Ki-dae come to his senses and hurriedly said: "Minister Kim Ki-dae, take the order!" ”
Kim Ki Dae obediently chose to comply. It was not without his doubts about the origin of this will, whether his sister agreed or not. But all the doubts Jin Ji mostly pressed into his heart, no matter what, he couldn't manage it, and the entire Qingfeng Jin family must not participate, Chen Zhongsheng's figure was too clearly revealed in this will.
Qingfeng Jin can't bear a powerful angel.
Thousands of thoughts were extinguished in his heart, and Kim Ki-dae respectfully took over the will.
At this time, the eunuch removed the identity of the angel envoy, and immediately changed his smiling face and saluted Jin Jida: "The slave and maid congratulate the lord, Jeju Island is a sea of gold and silver!" More able to keep up with the ...... of the country's heavenly soldiers, hehehe......"
A lot of things are becoming more and more explicit in North Korea now.
"It is really hard for the messenger to come from afar, come and take a hundred taels of silver." Kim Ki-dae knows very well that now is not the time it was, and since the great changes in North Korea, he has put away his arrogance.
Not to mention the eunuch, even the servant, he will smile at each other.
After sending the eunuch down to rest, he sat on his chair and pondered the matter in silence.
The initial surprise has completely disappeared. It's not a bad thing for him. The person who was appointed as the Jeju pastor was at least recognized by the Han army stationed in Korea, which was an absolute possession, the greatest grace and trust. Moreover, now that the mountains and rivers of North Korea have been flattened, and he does not have the ambition to 'make contributions', he will get out of this muddy mud early and go to the blessed paradise of Jeju Island, which will not lose a good way out.
Jeju Island was the 'economic center' of the Han Army stationed in Korea, and it is also the most prosperous place in North Korea today. Just like the eunuch said, where there are mountains of gold and silver seas, there is gold and silver that can be glued to it even if you roll inside.
If other people wait for such a result, they will all be jealous. When Kim Ki-dae thought of this, he looked at the will in his hand again, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Come on, convene civil and military officials above the fourth grade, and go to the council hall to discuss matters!" Kim Ki-dae stood up and said to the outside.
Immediately there were guards to deliver the order.
Half an hour later.
"I've seen the Protectors of the Metropolis!" Haizhou's civil and military officials above the fourth grade have gathered and saluted to Jinjida.
"You don't have to be polite, this official summoned you here today because I have something to announce to you!" Kim Ki-dae didn't sell it, but directly took out the will and read it out to everyone. He Kim Ki-dae no longer has to mix in Haeju, he is going to Jeju Island with the hat of the right council.
There was an exclamation in the council chamber, which was a bit of a surprise. The main thing is that it's too sudden. They didn't even hear the wind at all. This is the capital of Huanghaidao. The official name of North Korea is very similar to the legacy of the Tang Dynasty.
But after the surprise, everyone present thought about it, and this result was really not a bad thing for Kim Ki-dae.
There is nothing else, that is, to talk about Kim Ki-dae's new appointment, Kim Ki-dae finally left two Kim clan people to stay, and the others all retired. "The decree did not mention who would take over the military power of Hwanghae-do, and I thought that there would be a lot of fighting in Seoul. None of this is wanted. ”
"After I leave, the most important thing for you is to hold the military power of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, no matter who the new capital protector is, you must not hand over the military power. ......"The Dragon and Tiger Battalion is the lifeblood of the Qingfeng Jin clan in the army. The 4,000-foot artillery cavalry of the whole battalion is also the elite of the Korean army fighting from the south to the north.
Kim Ki, who didn't know that the Min family army was going to go north, could not have imagined that soon the whole of Korea would change. (To be continued)).
