Chapter 592: The Son Doesn't Think the Mother Is Ugly, The Dog Doesn't Think the Family Is Poor......

The Tiger Ben Army is stationed in North Korea?

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Although it is a short sentence, it carries a lot of weight. For the North Koreans, the garrison is by no means something that can be decided by a single word. It is a very serious matter to station troops from other countries on one's own soil. A few decades ago, the army of the Ming Kingdom did not have a permanent presence in Korea, and they only arrived when the war was going to be fought and left after the battle.

Since the establishment of the Yi dynasty in Korea, the only foreign garrison has been the Tatar that is now stationed in Cheolsan in northern Korea. And the garrison of the Tartars was the fundamental reason why the Koreans actively sought the help of the Ming - they asked the Ming to help expel the garrison of the Tartars. However, it is impossible to drive away the garrison of the Tartars and station the army of the Ming Kingdom on their own soil. Well, the Ming ** team and the Tartars are indeed different, and it is much easier to accept. But wouldn't it be better if we didn't have a garrison?

The garrison involves the sovereignty of the country, the supply of money and grain, the coordination of the two ** teams, and the command of the joint operations of the two ** teams...... Raising the garrison at such a banquet, the North Korean side simply could not reply. Such a topic, which was not discussed in private for ten days and half a month, did not even have a basic idea. If you want to discuss such a thing, both sides must set up a special negotiating team.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Zhun threw out this gift package and gave the North Koreans a headache. Our Tiger Ben Army even agreed to the garrison, not to mention other things. The rest depends on how you operate North Korea. He estimated that the North Korean side would certainly not be able to give a preliminary answer without three months.

With three months, he has a lot more room to maneuver. In three months, the battle between the Tiger Army and the Tartars should be almost over. In three months, Xue Zhidie's shipyard will have another eighteen saber ships launched. When the time comes, whether the DPRK agrees to garrison the army or refuses to garrison the army, the Tiger Ben Army will be able to advance and retreat freely.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the North Korean side suddenly had nothing to say. Li Zong and Jin Zidian, Hong Yihan and others quickly exchanged a look. Obviously, this matter must be carefully considered. Whether it is garrisoned or not, it seems to be a trouble for North Korea. Garrisons, when it comes to sovereignty issues, are easy to give authority and be attacked. The absence of troops also involves security issues, and the security of the DPRK cannot be guaranteed.

At the beginning, the Ming army entered Korea to fight against the Japanese army, and it was fought back and forth for several years, and there was a pause for several years in between, which really tortured the Koreans. If the Ming army had been stationed directly in Korea, this kind of thing would not have happened. Because, as long as the Japanese army moves, the Ming army stationed in Korea will be able to respond in a timely manner, and there is no need to transfer it from the rear. It can save a lot of time. Military emergencies, even if it is just to save a few days, are very useful.

Only Cui Mingji didn't seem to hear Zhang Zhun's words, and continued to himself: "Is the number of troops brought by Lord Governor too small? It seems like there are only six or seven hundred people? ”

Zhang Zhun said indifferently: "There are not many people who are trained by ancestors. ”

Cui Mingji said sharply: "Zu Chengxun won first and then lost, but Shi Ru was defeated. ”

Gao Hongtu interjected and said, "What does Master Cui mean, do you want us to have more people?" No problem, as long as there is a need, we have people. As much as you want, we will come. I'm afraid that there are too many people here, and Master Cui will be unhappy again. ”

This time, it was his turn to go berserk.

than the number of troops? North Korea and Jurchen all combined, less than two fingers of the Ming army! The North Korean army is only tens of thousands, and the Tartar army is only a hundred thousand. The Ming army was hundreds of thousands, millions, at every turn. Only the brain-dead will compare the number with the Ming army.

The Zu Chengxun and Shi Ru mentioned by Cui Mingji are indeed very sharp and very insidious, and at the same time they have the meaning of despising the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to use the story of Shi Ru and Zu Chengxun to attack Zhang Zhun. At the beginning, when the Japanese army first began to attack Korea, the Korean army was in a hurry, and they asked for help from the Ming Kingdom. Due to the lack of understanding of the enemy's situation, the Ming court initially sent only one detachment to Korea.

In July of the twentieth year of Wanli (1592), the Ming Dynasty sent Liaodong guerrilla Shi Ru to lead 2,000 cavalry to the expedition, and the deputy chief soldier Zu Chengxun (that is, the father of the chief soldier Zu Dashou when the Ming Dynasty died) led 3,000 cavalry to follow. Shi Ru entered the vicinity of Pyongyang, because the road was unfamiliar, he was ambushed by mistake, and it happened to be heavy rain, and the firearms could not play a role, and the whole army was annihilated, and Shi Ru died in battle.

Subsequently, Zu Chengxun led 3,000 cavalry to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and invaded Pyongyang, and then fell into street fighting, and was ambushed by 700 Japanese arquebusiers.

When the news came, the Ming court suddenly seemed to explode a pot, and the crowd was excited. At this time, the main battle faction and the main peace faction asked the Ming Dynasty to send a large army to invade Korea. In the end, Li Rusong led tens of thousands of Ming troops into Korea, and after a series of battles, the Japanese army was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he was angry with Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Speaking of this history, the North Koreans naturally know it. They understand very well that the Han people have always pursued the Confucian golden mean, paying attention to convincing people with virtue. Generally, they do not take the initiative to commit crimes. However, if it really provokes the Han people to get angry, the end will definitely be miserable. The Japanese ended up in a miserable end.

Zhang Zhun swept his eyes and said slowly: "I don't shy away from saying that Daming is indeed in some difficulties at present. The ancients had clouds, the wind knew the grass, and the country was in turmoil to show loyalty, and only in times of crisis could the noble quality be shown, and I think the same is true for the exchanges between countries. There are also ancients who say that the son is not ugly for the mother, and the dog is not for the poor......"

Before the words fell, Cui Mingji thought that he was holding Zhang Zhun's words, and couldn't wait to interject: "What does Lord Governor mean, do you mean that we Koreans are dogs?" ”

Gao Hongtu smiled coldly and said unabashedly: "Master Cui is sensitive. The Governor has repeatedly emphasized that the Ming Dynasty and Korea are neighbors separated by a strip of water. Since they are neighbors, how can they be dogs if they have the same clan in natural history? Lord Cui may have done too much in front of the Tartar to say such a thing. ”

When it comes to swearing without swearing, and it is expressed in Chinese, who is the opponent of Gao Hongtu and these old bureaucrats? Cui Mingji was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Gao Hongtu scolded him on the spot, and he couldn't refute it. He couldn't say that he had nothing to do with the Tartars, otherwise, the Tartars would be unhappy.

Jin Wuwang interjected and said: "Daming and Dajin are at war right now, and it's hard to say who will win or lose." The Ming Kingdom first lost Fushun, then Shenyang, then Liaoyang, and finally even Ningyuan. Ming Guo is too busy to take care of himself at the moment, but he is afraid that he will not be able to interfere with the foreign domain, right? ”

Gao Hongtu said indifferently: "The jumping clown is not enough to mention. If it weren't for the internal strife and civil unrest in our Ming Kingdom, how could it be the turn of Jianyu to wreak havoc? You see that our Shandong military and people are united, and it is easy for the Tartars to suffer a big loss. Once the Ming Kingdom unites as one, exterminates the Tartars, and quells the civil strife, it is just around the corner. ”

When it comes to internal strife and internal civil unrest, even Jin Wuwang is not easy to answer. Because, his current position with Cui Mingji is on the side of Tartar, and the relationship between him and Li Zong abroad is more delicate. If he expands on this issue, he may be attacked by Hong Yihan and others. Hong Yihan and the others were unanimous and silent, just watching coldly, waiting for the final force!

In fact, Hong Yihan and the others did not speak, which did mean that they had the last force. Because, the internal situation in North Korea can be said to be sympathetic to the Ming Kingdom. As soon as the internal strife was mentioned, the names of Shen Jiyuan and Zheng Taijie came to the minds of all North Koreans. I don't know when, these two guys, they will rise up and make trouble. Once they start a rebellion, the northern part of Korea will be completely out of control.

Cui Mingji came back to his senses at this time, and said lukewarmly: "Daming is worried about internal and external troubles, but I am afraid that the support will not last long." The number of troops is getting smaller and smaller, and now the Ming Dynasty has no elite soldiers, right? ”

Good!

That's what Gao Hongtu wants!

Since Li Zong is ready for a showdown, let's talk about it!

I only saw Gao Hongtu's eyes sharp, and he said in a sonorous tone: "In Shandong, Jianlu was trapped by two Baylors and killed more than a dozen Niu Lu. I don't need to bother to describe such facts. I would like to ask Master Cui, with your familiarity with the Tartars, how many cattle are there in the Tartars? And how many people and soldiers does my Ming have in the Ming Dynasty? ”

While questioning Cui Mingji, he also sarcastically mocked Cui Mingji for licking Tartar's asshole all day long. If he answers Gao Hongtu's question, he is really fooled. Of course, Cui Mingji would not be fooled, and said slowly: "Master Gao must know that soldiers are not much more expensive. ”

Gao Hongtu smiled slightly, like a hunter who saw the fox fall into the trap, and said lightly: "So, I think that the six hundred people brought by Lord Du are enough." ”

Cui Mingji was speechless.

Damn it!

Fooled!

Only then did he realize that others were asking him to gag himself with his own words!

The answer he just gave was completely slapping himself in the mouth. You say that there are fewer people in Zhang Zhun, and no matter how few people there are in Zhang Zhun, can there be fewer people than Tartar people? Combined, the population of Dengzhou and Laizhou is at least twice as large as that of Tartar. Not to mention people from other parts of the country. You say that the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, but why do you say that Zhang Zhun brought few people? In the port of Incheon, the Tiger Ben Army really showed its combat effectiveness.

Jin Wuwang looked at his companion sympathetically, unable to speak. When it comes to grinding their lips and fighting a war of words, where are they the opponents of the Ming officials? Which official of the Ming Dynasty is not a human spirit among human spirits? Especially Gao Hongtu, who can be the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry who can be the third product, which one is not killed by thousands of troops?

King Li Zong was happy in his heart, and secretly thanked Zhang Zhun for rubbing the arrogance of the surrendering faction fiercely, but on the surface, he remained silent and took the initiative to get up and play a round. I saw him stand up tremblingly, raise the golden cup, and say loudly: "Tonight is a welcome banquet, not to talk about state affairs, not to talk about state affairs." Come, the king welcomed the arrival of the Governor with a glass of water and wine. ”

Zhang Zhun hurriedly raised his wine glass and calmed down the belligerent atmosphere between the two sides in a low-key manner.

After the fierce fighting just now, I believe that the major factions in the DPRK have basically made clear their position. There is no need to continue arguing. The real substantive issues will only be carefully studied on a small scale starting tomorrow. Tonight's controversy is just the beginning, and all the good things are to come.

Now, the crux of the matter is stuck in the question of who wins and who loses between Daming and Dakin. It can't be said that North Korea looks at the wind and steers, after all, North Korea is still towards the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty is really not angry, and in recent years, it has indeed been bullied too hard by the Tartars. If you are the eldest brother, it is difficult for you to protect yourself, and it is indeed a bit difficult for the younger brother to follow you!

Since King Li Zong played a round game, Jin Zidian naturally came up, and while toasting, he clinked glasses with Gao Hongtu with a smile, and then the two muttered on the side, not knowing what to say. It seems that this feminine guy is very envious of Gao Hongtu's set. Alas, literati are literati after all, and they are all very black-bellied. Talking and laughing, letting the other party slap their mouths is what they talk about the most.

Everyone came to toast Zhang Zhun one after another. Whether they know Zhang Zhun or not, they all know one fact. Zhang Zhun was in Shandong, in Huangxian, and in Dengzhou City, all of which made the invincible Tartar suffer a lot. Just for this point, many people will be impressed by Zhang Zhun. Over the years, it has been the Tartars that have been raging, and others can't help the Tartars at all. Zhang Zhun can eat thousands of Tartars in one go, and he can also trap the two Baylors of the Tartars, such a record can definitely be regarded as against the sky.

Fengpingjun Li Jue came to Zhang Zhun's face, his eyes were sharp, and his face was cold: "Zhang Dudu, I heard that you let the prince shoot on the battlefield?" Have you ever thought about how the prince of the world can appear on the front line and shoot himself? ”

Zhang Zhun smiled faintly and said disapprerovingly: "Your Royal Highness, do you think that what North Korea needs is a brave and promising monarch, or a monarch who only knows how to eat and wait for death?" ”

Li Jue said in a cold tone: "In case the prince has an accident on the battlefield, you can't afford it!" You are reckless! I'm going to complain to the Ming court about you! ”

Zhang Zhun said without giving in: "People who eat whole grains will also get sick and die!" Rather than die in the rear, it is better to die on the front line with a bang! Your Royal Highness, what do you think? ”

Since Li Jue questioned him, he also replied unceremoniously. Li Jue has been in Seoul since he was relieved of military power, and has never been to other places. Zhang Zhun's words were of course very stimulating to him. Yes, Zhang Zhun just wants to stimulate him. If he didn't stimulate Li Jue fiercely, I am afraid that Li Jue would really fall. When it comes to fighting, the North Korean army has to rely on this guy to lead it.

"Bang!"

Li Jue suddenly shook the wine glass and reached out to grab Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun also stretched out his hand and knocked his hand away.

Li Jue suddenly became angry and stretched out his leg to kick Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun unceremoniously stretched out his leg and bumped his leg away.

Li Jue's movements were not slow, and while retracting his legs, he punched Zhang Zhun with a fist. His movements are quite fast, and his moves are also very fast. Obviously, this Feng Pingjun has led troops to fight all the year round, and he still has some real kung fu under his hands, and he is definitely not a showmanship. It's not a joke to do it like this, it's really trying to give Zhang Zhun a little color.

Zhang Zhun's face was grim, and he suddenly lowered his head, and his elbow was pressed under Li Jue's waist and ribs. Li Jue was hit by him, and his eyes suddenly hurt so much that he almost couldn't catch it in one breath. followed Zhang Zhun to get up, and with the opportunity of the collision, Li Jue's body was sent to the open space next to him.

"Smack!"

Li Jue's body was sent by Zhang Zhun fiercely, and he was pushed three or four feet away. For a while, he was unsteady on his feet, and suddenly fell on all fours. Fortunately, there was a thick carpet in the banquet hall, and Li Juecai was not injured. The carpet was also clean, and the clothes on Li Jue's body were not dirty.

"What's going on?"

"Stop!"

King Li Zong hurriedly shouted.

I only saw the Praetorian Guards on guard outside, as well as the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army's Pinzi Battalion, running in one after another. For a while, the inside of the banquet hall was filled with a tense atmosphere. The guests, looking at Li Jue, Zhang Zhun, and the people around them, were all out of the question. No one knows, how did Li Jue start with Zhang Zhun?

Feng Pingjun got up from the ground, the flush on his cheeks flashed, and he said in a loud voice: "It's okay, it's okay!" I'm just going to test the kung fu of Lord Mingguo! ”

Zhang Zhun's face slowly softened, and he said in a deep voice: "I admit it." ”

Feng Pingjun came to Zhang Zhun, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Originally, I thought you were inferior to Mao Wenlong!" Now it seems, not bad! You come to replace the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, I will serve you! What we in North Korea need is a real man! ”

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but grin.

Damn, this guy turned out to be fighting for Mao Wenlong! No wonder he has a dead face, and he dares to feel that he has robbed Mao Wenlong's territory. But, you kid figure it out, what does Mao Wenlong have to do with me? It was Yuan Chonghuan who brought Mao Wenlong down, and he had nothing to do with me! If you want to find someone to settle accounts, you should also find Yuan Chonghuan, not me!

Seeing that the situation had eased, the Praetorian Guards and the Tiger Army dispersed.

Li Jue clapped his hands vigorously and shouted loudly to the surrounding guests: "Everyone saw Zhang Dudu's skills just now, it was really fast and ruthless, I was not lightly thrown, who will try it again?" ”

Zhang Zhun was slightly stunned, this guy is still trying to sow discord? Want to find someone to fight with your own wheel? Okay, come on! Just to let you see what kickboxing is!

However, after Li Jue's voice fell, no one came up to challenge. The entire banquet hall was silent. Those guests who like to be lively, looking around, are looking forward to someone appearing again to challenge Zhang Zhun. Especially the beautiful girls of the royal family behind Li Zong, they have big round and bright eyes, looking forward to someone appearing.

The movement between Zhang Zhun and Li Jue just now came suddenly and quickly, and they hadn't seen it clearly. In their minds, when it comes to fighting, Feng Pingjun is the number one person. Li Jue, the Fengping Jun when he was a teenager, was the king of fighting in the Korean royal family, and he had no opponent at all. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun easily threw him to the ground, which was really amazing.

Li Jue immediately realized that he had inadvertently said the wrong thing. Among the guests present, in terms of single kung fu, if he recognizes the second, no one dares to admit the first. I was beaten so hard by Zhang Zhun just now, of course the others didn't dare to come up. It's not a good thing to make a fool of yourself in front of so many people.

Seeing that no one in the audience responded, Li Jue had no choice but to laugh at himself, change the topic and say, "Since the warriors don't dare to come up, then ...... Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss this opportunity! Queen, it's your turn. ”

Before the words fell, the queen had already personally brought out a few girls who were shy to answer, and came to Zhang Zhun with a fragrant breeze and introduced them one by one. Zhang Zhun suddenly felt as if he was Jia Baoyu, feeling a little weird, but on the surface, he couldn't deal with it politely. As a result, what is the county lord of Hanzhang, the lord of Meitai, the lord of Meihua, and the lord of Taoying...... Say hello one by one.

These beautiful girls of the county lord's generation are all girls in the boudoir of the Joseon royal family. As members of the royal family, their mothers were originally beautiful and fragrant, and they were naturally born with beauty. Today, it is carefully dressed, and it is naturally very beautiful. Although it is said that men and women do not kiss, on such occasions, there is no restriction at all. Banquets are meant to liven up the atmosphere.

For them, if they can marry into the Ming Dynasty, it will be quite an honorable thing. Even if it can't be called the main room, as long as it becomes a side room, with a proper identity, it is already satisfied. After all, North Korea is a small country, a place with a big palm, and Ming is a kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and a government is bigger than North Korea. To be able to go to the Heavenly Empire to play once is in vain.

Well, maybe people today think that a little bit of that, maybe they are disrespectful to women and treat women as trade goods. But the royal women at that time were indeed like this. Their marriages are rarely their own turn. Their marriage is part of politics in itself. Since I can't call the shots, I have to try my best to find a way to climb the high branches. This is also human nature, and there is no more than this throughout the ages.

The reason why Daming is great and unforgettable is because of its backbone. For more than 200 years, no land, no compensation, no tribute, no harmony, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died. Even at the last moment, he did not lower his high head. Emperor Chongzhen was hanged, and Emperor Yongli was strangled to death, and he would rather die than live.

In fact, it is wrong to say that the Ming Dynasty did not get along. The Ming Dynasty also had affinity. But they are all princesses and county lords from outside, and none of the princesses of the Ming Dynasty are married. Moreover, the princesses and county lords who married in outside did not have any status in the Ming Dynasty, and their names were not known. For example, women from Korean, Vietnamese, and Mongolian tribes.
