Chapter 337: North Korea Under Attack
Hearing Li Rulan crying behind the screen, Jinxuan and Lingyun glanced at each other, and a trace of unbearability flashed on their faces, after all, neither of them was a vicious woman, and there was nothing wrong with the vinegar in the past, not to mention that the other party was just a weak woman, maybe it was his father-in-law who forced the other party to take off his clothes.
It was with such an idea that Jinxuan and Lingyun both glared at Zhou Chong fiercely, and then walked behind the screen, Zhou Chong was very aggrieved, but he couldn't get angry at the two pregnant women, so he could only sigh and follow Jinxuan and them to the back of the screen, this is where Zhou Chong rested in the study, there was a small bed, and now Li Rulan sat on the bed with the quilt and cried bitterly, revealing her smooth back and shrugging it, crying very sadly.
"Okay, don't cry, since you are already a husband of the father, then our sisters will not embarrass you, but now the time is too short, and we don't understand your nature, so let's live at home for the time being, and wait until our sisters understand you well, and you have no major problems, then let the husband accept you as a concubine!" Jinxuan sighed at this time and said, she is the only one who knows the identity of Zhou Zhong in the family, and even Xie Lingyun doesn't know Lu Dao, and she also understands that with Zhou Chong's identity, there will definitely be a lot of women around her in the future, otherwise there will be no way to explain to Zhengde and Empress Dowager Zhang, so Jinxuan can only take the initiative to take a concubine for her husband.
"I don't want to be his concubine, and I have nothing to do with him!" Li Rulan cried very sadly, but her hoarse voice still rejected Jinxuan's kindness.
Hearing Li Rulan's refusal, Jinxuan and Lingyun were stunned, in their opinion. Although this Li Rulan has a good background. But after all, she is a foreign woman. And now she has a relationship with Zhou Chong, the best destination for this kind of woman is to be able to become Zhou Chong's concubine, but now the other party has refused, which makes them feel a little incredible.
"Look, I said a long time ago that I was wronged, this Li Rulan I haven't moved a finger against her, it was all a misunderstanding just now!" Zhou Zhong said that he explained the reason why Li Rulan came to him, and especially pointed out that the other party took the initiative to take off his clothes. In order to change the coffin.
However, what Zhou Chong didn't expect was that as soon as he finished talking about the matter, he was scolded by Jinxuan and Lingyun as shameless, because in the eyes of these women, Li Rulan did not hesitate to exchange her body for a coffin in order to bury her brother, but Zhou Chong still didn't agree, and he really didn't have any sympathy!
For the criticism of the two wives, Zhou Zhong rolled his eyes angrily, if they weren't jealous, they drove themselves to sleep in the study. How could he have so much anger towards Li Rulan, if he didn't have anger. will not deliberately embarrass the other party, so in the final analysis, it all comes down to Wang Jinxuan and Xie Lingyun being too small-minded.
Wang Jinxuan and Xie Lingyun counted Zhou Zhong for a moment, and then took Li Rulan's clothes and helped her put them on, only to see Wang Jinxuan say to Li Rulan: "I will prepare your brother's coffin, you don't have to be too sad, and since you were sent over by your ruthless brother Wang, you must also be homeless, I think it's better to stay here, it just so happens that Sister Mengwan is now one less maid, I think you are quite good at taking care of people, it is better to stay!" ”
"Mrs. Xie has mercy, Rulan will definitely take care of Miss Mengwan with all her heart in the future!" Li Rulan now has nothing, and even has the heart to die, and now hearing that the governor's wife not only helped her out of the coffin, but also agreed to her stay, this made Li Rulan extremely grateful, and she saluted again and again.
However, Zhou Chong pouted when he heard this, thinking that his wife was becoming more and more treacherous, obviously Li Rulan was the owner of North Korea, and her status was not low, but now she has become a maid in the family in a blink of an eye, and there is a North Korean lord as a maid, I am afraid that saying it will also give Zhou Fu a long face.
Watching Jinxuan and Lingyun leave with Li Rulan, Zhou Chong shook his head helplessly, the three wives and four concubines sounded like they had enjoyed all the blessings, but now that there are only two women in Zhou Chong's family, it already gives him a headache, not to mention that these two women are still pregnant, which is even more unreasonable, and now Zhou Chong only hopes that they can give birth to the child as soon as possible and return to normal.
A few days later, some important news came from the Korean side again, the Japanese rebellion in the south of Korea became more and more troublesome, and the Japanese people entrenched in the three places of Tsushima Island, under the leadership of the Tsushima clan clan, not only occupied the coastal areas of Fushanpo, but even entered the interior of Gyeongsangzuo Province, and along the way the Korean army was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and it was not at all a rebellious opponent of the Japanese people, and even the Gyeongju Prefecture, the seat of Gyeongsang Left Province, was already in danger.
The Japanese people have always been known for their brutality, those rebellious Japanese people and the Tsushima Island clan army converged, the total strength reached more than 45,000 people, this Japanese army is simply the embodiment of wild beasts, along the way burning, killing and looting, all kinds of evil, the entire Gyeongsang Left Province wailed all over the field, the people were killed and injured countless times, this is the very famous "Miura Japanese Rebellion" in Korean history.
The so-called Miura, refers to the three coastal ports of Camellia, Fuyamapo and Shioura, because Korea and the Japanese are close to each other, so there are many Japanese people living in the country, and North Korea is the same as the Ming Dynasty, and it was also deeply influenced by the Japanese in the past, so they also learned from the Ming Dynasty and implemented the maritime ban policy, and the three places of the Camelura live in the most Japanese people, in order to make a difference between these Japanese and the Japanese Invaders, so North Korea set up the Japanese Pavilion, which is a government agency specializing in the management of the Japanese people.
Regarding the cause of the Miura War, in fact, it is not complicated to say, although the sea ban can be attached to the Japanese invaders, but it also hinders the trade exchanges between countries, whether it is the Ming Dynasty's sea ban or the North Korean sea ban, can only produce one consequence, that is, the prevalence of smuggling, which the Ming Dynasty has not yet come to react, after all, the Ming Dynasty is too big, a small smuggling is not particularly noticeable, but North Korea found that smuggling was rampant, immediately responded, that is, to strengthen the management of the Japanese people, After all, many of the Japanese people living in North Korea are the eyes and ears of smugglers.
However, what the Korean government did not expect was that their strengthening of the control of the Wakan soon attracted a backlash from the Wako, especially the Zong clan on Tsushima Island had been trying to find an excuse to invade Korea, so under the instigation of the Zong clan, the Japanese people living in Miura finally couldn't bear it and joined the Zong army, in addition to fighting in person, they also acted as the guide of the Zong army, after all, they had lived in Korea for generations, and no one knew Korea better than them.
The brutality of the Japanese army, the rebellion of the Miura Japanese who were familiar with the terrain, coupled with the Korean domestic Li Long's wanton suppression of the domestic scholars, many excellent generals were implicated and died, as a result, the entire eastern army was in a state of no one when it was attacked, although there were also some generals who tried to command the army, but unfortunately no one paid attention to it at all, and the rebellious Japanese almost did not suffer much resistance to the city of Gyeongju, and now tens of thousands of Japanese people are besieging the city of Gyeongju, and most of the troops in the city have escaped, It can be said that this important city of North Korea could fall at any time.
At the same time, the wild Jurchens living in the north between the white mountains and black waters were not willing to be lonely, and entered from Jiasan and Changseong in the north of Korea, and soon occupied most of the areas of South Honyeong Province and North Pyongan Province, and these Jurchens immediately fought desperately to kill the interior of Korea after finding that they were not greatly blocked.
In the eyes of the Ming people, the Jurchens are divided into three kinds, the first is the Jianzhou Jurchen and the Haixi Jurchen with a relatively high degree of civilization, in addition to this kind of Jurchen, all the remaining Jurchens are collectively called the savage Jurchens by them, and because most of these Jurchens live on the coast of the East China Sea, they are also called the East China Sea Jurchens in later generations.
This part of the Jurchens are named after savages, you can imagine how bad their living conditions are, this part of the Jurchens are still in the period of slash-and-burn farming, most of them rely on hunting to obtain food, but these years by the influence of the Xiaoice period, the Liaodong region is extremely cold, the savage Jurchens are the most affected, every winter they have a large number of people freezing and starving to death, especially in the spring, they are even more hungry and cold, in order to survive, they have to rob the nearest North Koreans.
In order to survive, the savage Jurchen men were dressed in animal skins, holding the only weapon in their hands to form an army in the sound of the leader's horn, and then slaughtered all over the mountains and wilderness to North Korea, they lacked food, clothing, salt and all the necessities of life, and North Korea is where they obtained these necessities of life, so to a certain extent, these savage Jurchens are more brutal than the Japanese people, they not only kill people and rob food, and even when there is a shortage of military food, they even eat human flesh, it may be this barbarism, As a result, the Koreans were really talking about savage women, and even the army was unwilling to fight these savages.
There are strong enemies in the south and north, although Li Long's suppression of the country is nearing the end, but those purged generals and officials can not be made up for a while, as a result, this also caused the Korean rule over various places to reach the lowest point, and even want to organize an army to resist the strong enemy is a little difficult, as a result, the southern Japanese and the northern savage Jurchen drove straight in, and soon occupied a vast area of nearly a province, and the two enemies are still constantly advancing, if not stopped, Korea is likely to die.
Seeing this situation, the brutal Li Long was also a little panicked, he sent ministers to the front line on both sides to supervise the war, and at the same time took out North Korea's trick to press the bottom of the box, that is, to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, after all, they are the subject of the Ming Dynasty, at this crisis juncture, naturally the first thought of asking for help from their boss, and now the Ming court is also quarreling over the question of whether to aid North Korea, and even Zhengde himself can't make up his mind.
