"Who died?" Wang Jing took the secret letter from Liang Pengfei's hand, and after seeing the name on the letter, he couldn't help but whisper: "Fukangan? ”

"That's right, not only did Fukangan die, but the governor and the governor who supervised the military affairs in place of Fukangan also fell ill in Hunan, and I heard that like Fukangan, he was also infected with the same epidemic. 【】”

Hearing this, all the people couldn't help but be stunned, and they were overjoyed, the two pillars of the Qing court, one destroyed and one injured, this is definitely too good news to be good. Sun Shijie took a deep breath, and a trace of excitement flashed on his face. "He and the Governor were strong enough, and although he was seriously ill, he still commanded the soldiers to fight, and adopted measures to suppress and appease them. Now, the rebellion of the Miao people in Guizhou, Hunan Province has gradually entered a difficult situation, and it seems that this and the governor are still quite capable. ”

"He won't live long, though." Liang Pengfei said with some emotion. Fukangan and He Lin, not only the generals of the Qing court, but also the blue eyes of themselves, finally fell on the way to conquer the White Lotus Sect like the trajectory of another historical time and space, and the other general and Lin seem to be following in their footsteps and stepping into the dust of history. This made Liang Pengfei a little depressed, but personal friendship can't defeat the national enemy after all, and Liang Pengfei only sighed a little, but it's really a pity.

"Ah Gui has long had a stroke and can't be a director, and that Hailancha died in the post house, and now, Fukangan has fallen, He Lin is seriously ill, plus those court generals who died at the hands of the White Lotus Sect, the court is almost to the point where no one is available." Ni Ming said, his face full of joy.

Sun Shijie looked at Liang Pengfei with awe in his eyes. "If He Lin dies again, how can the court find a replacement, a wealthy and experienced future? I'm afraid that this turmoil, as adults said before, must be a protracted war. ”

Liang Pengfei smiled faintly, the loss of these two pillars of the Qing court will not only be a heavy blow to the Qing court, but also will make them at a loss for a while, and the timing is just right.

"Tell the Second Detachment of the Beiyang Fleet and the North Korean advance army that the time has come and they can do it." Liang Pengfei resolutely gave the order.

The North Korean advance army is the only army under Liang Pengfei. Although the number reached a staggering 35,800 men, only the 1st Division of the Advance Army was a standard pure firearms unit, and there was also an artillery regiment. The weapons used by the remaining two divisions were still mainly broadswords and spears, supplemented by firearms, and the soldiers of these two divisions mainly came from Han Chinese families who had fled into Korea in the former Ming Dynasty.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The main military strategy of this army is not to attack a certain place, but mainly to control Korea, because, until Liang Pengfei began to implement the plan to annex the Japanese state, the matter of controlling Korea has been put on the agenda, and after possessing Jeju Island, the king of the Korean kingdom, Li Yu, was furious and ordered to go to Jeju Island with 30,000 Korean sailors.

30,000 Korean sailors, more than 1,000 large and small warships, in the end, one-third of the prisoners were captured, one-third of them were sunk, and the rest fled to the north, but when they arrived at the port of Busan, where they departed, they found in despair that the port of Busan had been occupied by a group of soldiers of unknown origin. Those terrible cannons were erected in the harbor, and the Korean sailors made a wise choice: surrender.

How could they have expected that the news of a gang of robbers occupying Jeju Island was found out by Liang Pengfei's meticulous work through those officials who had been bribed, so when the naval division of the Korean Kingdom had not yet assembled, Mo Guanrang, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division stationed on Jeju Island, had already received the information.

As a result, the naval division of the Korean Kingdom was lost, and Liang Pengfei's troops also occupied the port of Busan, and it was precisely because of the Korean Kingdom's division that Liang Pengfei's troops left on Kyushu Island and Jeju Island had an excellent reason to start the war.

Immediately sent envoys to rebuke the Kingdom of Korea and demand that they cede the area around the port of Busan as compensation. The king of the Joseon Kingdom, Li Yu, was naturally unwilling to be defeated, and sent a large army to Pusan.

As a result, annoying Liang Pengfei, who was far away in Guangzhou, Liang Pengfei immediately gave the Beiyang Fleet and the northern garrison a new offensive plan: the Inchon landing battle.

However, after this military plan arrived in the hands of Fan Wencai and others, it was modified and changed into a more wild and aggressive offensive plan: the Han River landing battle.

Let the servant army that defeated the Korean king's [***]: two Japanese servant divisions arrive at Gimcheon by a naval troop transport, and then march directly to Cheongju, an important town south of Seoul, the capital of the Korean Kingdom.

At this time, with the landing force of the Beiyang Fleet and a division as the main force, it directly entered the Han River through the mouth of the Han River, and it took only two days to send 17 warships and more than 100 transport ships to 5,000 marines of the Beiyang Fleet to the city wall of Seoul.

However, not a single soldier was killed or wounded in this landing battle, and seventeen warships used their heavy artillery to destroy half of the walls of Nahanseong, and then sent envoys, and the Korean king Yi Yu immediately expressed his admiration for the endless waves of the Chinese Celestial Empire, and was willing to cede the port of Pusan as compensation, and was willing to support the war reparations of one million taels.

And Liang Pengfei did not ask for money, but only collected the land of Busan Port and the surrounding 100 miles, as well as the Hamgyong Province in the northern part of the Korean Kingdom, and the banks of the Yalu River in Pyongan Province.

The so-called Hamgyong Province refers to the establishment of six towns in the Jurchen territory on the south bank of the Tumen River, which began after the murder of the Jurchen brother Timur. After the booby-trap of Er Xun, Joseon was defeated by the revenge of the Jurchen tribe, and in 1410, the Qingyuan Mansion was moved to Jingcheng, and "the soldiers and horses made it impossible to defend it, so they abandoned its town". After the murder of the fierce brother Timur in 1443, the real power of the Jianzhou women was greatly weakened, and in 1434, Joseon took the opportunity to quickly move the Qingyuan Mansion north to Suduolao; The town of Ningbei, which was originally placed in the stone curtain, was moved to the Boyan Chousuo, and then moved to the Amu River (Humu River) and placed in Huining Town. In 1435, Joseon set up Zhongcheng County in Ningbei Town, which was the town envoy and governor of the county, and then moved the county to Chouzhou and promoted it to the capital protectorate.

In 1437, the Joseon Dynasty established Gyeongheung County in Kongju, and was later promoted to the capital of the palace. In 1440, Joseon settled in the city of Fortress in Dodo, "migrated to the south of Gyeongwon and Jiju, and the officials to the north of Anbyon", and the following year it was promoted to the capital protectorate. In 1449, Joseon added the town of Funyeong in Shimu.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this point, the DPRK set up six towns in the south bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Tumen River, and took measures such as recruiting people to build euphores and forts to consolidate the management of the newly opened areas. North Korea built hundreds of miles of Great Wall and dozens of castles (the Great Wall of the Li Dynasty) along the Tumen River, starting from the Balshan Yantai in Huining to the town of Xunrong in Gyeongwon, and promulgated and implemented preferential policies to mobilize the population in the southern region to move to the six towns, and continuously strengthened the defense and development of the six towns in the north.

The DPRK set up six towns along the south bank of the Tumen River: Hoeryong, Funing, Yaocheng, Wencheng, Gyeongwon, and Gyeonghing, marking the formation of the eastern boundary between China and the DPRK in the middle and lower reaches of the Tumen River. Joseon Sejong reigned for 32 years, and he was unprecedentedly unprecedented.

"The Records of Shizong of the Li Dynasty" said: "The new Siyi, the place where my ancestors were founded, is bounded by the Douman River...... Beans are full of rivers, and the sky is limited to me and me. "In the Hamgyong Province, the territory of the original Yuan Dynasty was gradually annexed by Korea, especially Xianbei, which was quietly encroached upon after the Ming Dynasty. Even King Chungjong of Joseon once said, "Hamgyong-do Province is not our country's land." ”

And Fan Wencai and these guys are pirates, plus the people under Liang Pengfei are all contaminated with his habits, and they have to say three points of truth regardless of it, not to mention that the book "Records of Li Dynasty Shizong" collected by Liang Pengfei is clearly recorded.

The capital city is under the muzzle, tens of thousands of elite soldiers armed to the teeth are eyeing it, the king of the Korean kingdom has nowhere to flee even if he wants to, and some ministers who have been heavily bribed support the land-for-peace plan. In desperation, the Joseon king Yi Yu had no choice but to agree to the treaty, but under the threat of force, the Joseon kingdom agreed to transfer the banks of the Yalu River in the northern part of Hamgyong Province and Pyongan Province to the Huaxia Celestial Empire.

And through a large amount of bribes to control the political factions in the Joseon kingdom and provoke a struggle between two or even many parties, anyway, the political struggles between the nobles and scholars in the Korean kingdom are almost no different from those in the former Ming Dynasty, and they are more lively.

North Korea is a small country, and there are more than ten political factions, such as the Da Yin faction and the Xiao Yin faction formed by the division of the Shilin faction during the Ming Dynasty. and the Dongren Party (Lingnan School) and the Westerner Party (Gihu School) at the time of Seonjo.

After gaining power in the political struggle, the Dongren Party split into the Nanren faction led by Li Rong (Li Huixi) and the Beiren faction led by Yao Xingzhi. The Beiren Party in the imperial court was divided into the Great Northern faction headed by Li Erzhan and advocating the establishment of Guanghai Jun, and the Xiaobei faction headed by Yao Yongqing and advocating the establishment of his son-in-law.

The Xiaobei faction was hit after Gwanghae-kun ascended the throne, Liu Yongqing was given death, and the Xiaobei faction split into Qing Xiaobei and Turbidity Xiaobei, while the Dabei faction split into three factions: Gubei, Roubei, and Zhongbei. The Nan people were divided into Qingnan and Xunnan. The Western-style faction gained power in the coup d'état in which Injo rebelled and deposed Gwanghaejun, and in the period of Hyeonjong, it split into the Laoron faction (Yuanlao faction) and the Shaonon faction (Shaozhuang faction). The Nanren faction gained power because of its attachment to Zhang Xi's concubine during the Suzong period. In short, the middle and late periods of the Li dynasty were spent in chaotic and endless party struggles.

In short, one of the advantages of the dazzling factions was that they would never have a strong argument, and after bribing some of the factions and exacerbating their hatred, the Joseon king, Yi Yu, could hardly have a quiet court meeting, let alone fight with one heart and one mind against the outrageously powerful Chinese army.
