Chapter 383: A Temptation to Li Anliang
In the early spring of the eighth year of Zhengde, the rebels from all walks of life in Korea still maintained a confrontation with Li Long's officers and soldiers, but at this moment, there was a sudden change within the Pyongan Army located in the north of Korea, and a man named Li Anliang suddenly launched a rebellion, and he imprisoned the big leader of the Hean Army very smoothly, and then unified the Hean Army with thunderous means, and the Hean Army was put on the right track in just a few days, and even Li Long's officers and troops did not have time to react, which was really unexpected by everyone.
In Weihaiwei, at the top of the Shandong Peninsula, Zhou Chong lived in his temporary governor's palace here, and while looking at the information in his hand, he sighed loudly: "Interesting! It's so much fun! Among the leaders of the four major rebel armies in Korea, two of them are Han Chinese, and one is the strongest, and the other occupies the largest territory. ”
Zhou Chong said as he spoke, his eyes kept looking at the information about Li Anliang collected by Jin Yiwei, and Zhou Chong was very interested in this guy who suddenly emerged from the Ping An Army, and even decided in his heart that this person was the agent he was going to support in North Korea.
The reason why Zhou Chong appeared in Weihaiwei is mainly because after the New Year, the situation in North Korea and the Japanese Kingdom is changing rapidly, if he has been staying in Shuangyu Port, because the road is too far away, the news transmission is inconvenient, sometimes when the news from this side reaches that side, things have passed for nearly a month, Zhou Chong can not make a response in time, so after thinking about it, he decided to temporarily move the Governor's Mansion to Weihaiwei. After all, this place also belongs to the coastal defense post of the Ming Dynasty. It is also under his jurisdiction.
Of course. Zhou Chong, as the governor of the Ming Dynasty, left Shuangyu Port, his place of governance, without authorization, and also set up his governor's palace in Weihaiwei, which is very close to the capital, which will obviously cause the suspicion of some ministers in the DPRK, but for this matter, Zhou Chong has already obtained Zhengde's consent in advance, so for the attack of the ministers of the DPRK and China, it is natural that Zhengde will deal with it.
Jinyiwei is worthy of being the eagle dog of the Ming court. To be exact, they should be the eyes and ears and minions of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, as long as it happens in the Ming Dynasty, almost nothing can escape their eyes, so after Zhou Zhong noticed Li Anliang, he ordered Jinyiwei to investigate the origin of this person, and soon these people found out the three generations of Li Anliang's ancestors, and even the matter of the Li family being destroyed by the Jianzhou Jurchens was also investigated clearly.
Seeing that Li Anliang's family was slaughtered by the Jurchens pretending to be Xiangma, he was the only one who fled to North Korea and hibernated for ten years before being forced to rebel by the situation. As a result, with his own ability, he became the core figure of the Heian Army in one fell swoop. This time, it was because his eldest brother wanted to get rid of him, but Li Anliang made a preemptive move, so he was forced to come to the front and officially became the leader of the Ping An Army.
In addition, according to the news obtained by Zhou Chong, although Li Anliang took away the position of the chief of his eldest brother Park Chengshu, he did not kill Park Chengshu, but imprisoned the other party in the general's mansion in Zizhou City. It can be seen from this that this person is a person who values love and righteousness, after all, he has received great favor from Park Chengshu over the years, so even if the other party wants to get rid of him first, but he still left Park Chengshu's life after he was in power, even if he knew that as long as Park Chengshu lived, it would be a potential threat to him, but he still did it without hesitation.
Zhou Zhong closed his eyes, thought of Li Anliang's bumpy life experience, and recalled what the other party did after appearing in front of everyone, and then put himself in Li Anliang's position, in order to understand what kind of person the other party is, after all, only by thoroughly seeing this person through, Zhou Chong will be more sure to control this in his own hands.
"I see, from the fact that he gave up revenge and fled to North Korea to settle down, it can be seen that this Li An's conscience knows how to make trade-offs, not the kind of brave husband, and his performance in Ping An also proves that this person has an extraordinary strategy, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't let go of his gratitude to Park Chengshu, I'm afraid he would have become the big leader of the Heian Army a long time ago, with his talent, the Heian Army will not become the chaotic appearance it is now, it seems that this is a good talent, just let him toss in North Korea It's a pity!" Zhou Chong suddenly opened his eyes and said, through the understanding of Li Anliang, Zhou Chong suddenly cherished his talents, after all, although he, the governor of the four seas, is majestic, but there are too few talents around him who can get their hands on it, and this Li Anliang is the first talent he takes the initiative to accept as a talent.
Thinking of subduing Li Anliang, Zhou Zhongzhong couldn't help but hesitate, after all, the other party is now the overlord of North Korea, generally speaking, after this kind of person tastes the delicious taste of power, he will have great ambitions, so Zhou Chong's desire to subdue Li Anliang is really a big challenge.
However, what Zhou Zhong is not afraid of is the challenge, at the moment he immediately let people contact Li Anliang, and even if it is possible, he also wants to invite Li Anliang to come to Weihaiwei in person, so that he can talk to the other party face-to-face, and only in this way can he have more understanding of this person, so as to judge whether the other party is worthy of his own use, after all, with his current identity, accepting a subordinate also needs to be carefully examined.
The people sent to contact Li Anliang soon came to the city of Ziju in Pyongan Province, and at this time, the Hean Army was carefully managed by Li Anliang, and the chaos in Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province was greatly improved, especially the internal Pyongan Army was also purged by him, and as a result, the entire Pyongan Army was highly disciplined and had taken on a strong military posture.
The person sent by Zhou Zhong to contact Li Anliang directly found the other party's home, and now this has become the new general's mansion, and the original general's mansion is still used as the residence of Park Chengshu's family, although Li Anliang's nostalgic approach makes many people feel that he is a bit of a woman's kindness, but he has to admit in his heart that Li Anliang is a person who values feelings.
When Li Anliang received the letter written by Zhou Zhong himself, he was shocked at first, because he never thought that he had attracted the attention of a Ming governor, although he is now one of the four major rebel leaders of North Korea, but in fact, Li Anliang himself knew that his own big leader was self-appointed, and he was a thief in Daming, and there was a huge gap between him and the Ming governor in terms of identity, so when he first received the letter, he even doubted the authenticity of this letter.
However, when Li Anliang read Zhou Chong's letter, he could finally determine the authenticity of this letter, firstly, it was stamped with the big seal of the Governor's Palace, which could not deceive people, and secondly, although Zhou Chong did not say much in the letter, but introduced Li Anliang's ancestors to three generations, especially the tragedy of the Li family's annihilation, which was recorded in great detail by Zhou Chong, which made Li Anliang extremely sad at the same time, but also more convinced of the authenticity of this letter, after all, in addition to Zhou Chong, such a big official, It is impossible for others to investigate him so clearly.
Although Li Anliang has given up the idea of revenge on the surface over the years, this kind of bloody feud is so easy to forget, every year on July 11, Li Anliang will lock himself in the room and cry for a while, and then use a knife to carve a knife on his arm, because this day is the day when their whole family was slaughtered, he has no ability to take revenge, he can only vent the hatred in his heart in this cowardly way, and now he has ten scars on his arm.
It can be said that after ten years of forbearance, Li Anliang lived in hatred and guilt for his family almost every day, and if there was no rebellion in North Korea, I am afraid that he would have slowly become crazy in this hatred and guilt, and finally until he completely destroyed himself. However, it is precisely driven by this hatred and guilt that he has frantically accumulated strength in the previous rebellion, which slowly developed the Heian Army to its current scale, and even he fantasized that one day he could lead the army and kill all those Jurchens to avenge his whole family, but he also knew very clearly that his current strength could still be the king and hegemon in Korea, but compared with those Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty, it was not at the same level at all, not to mention him, a North Korean thief who has just grown up.
It is also very clear about his current situation, so Li Anliang quickly wrote a reply letter to Zhou, in which he mainly described the grievances suffered by his family, and also told the situation within his own Heian Army very frankly, and even did not hide the lack of food, money, and weapons within the Heian Army. But he believed that Zhou Zhong would definitely guess what the conditions were.
Zizhou City and Weihaiwei face each other across the sea, so Li Anliang's letter was quickly delivered to Zhou Chong's hands, when he opened the letter and saw the content on it, his face immediately showed a smug smile, he knew that a man with such affection and righteousness and blood would definitely not give up easily to destroy the enemy, and this Li Anliang was also very smart, he just focused on the blood feud in his family in the letter, and as a result, he saw that he wanted to use revenge for him as a bargaining chip, in exchange for the peace army in his hand.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong was also more satisfied with this Li Anliang, such a smart and talented person is definitely a very qualified subordinate, and now it depends on whether he can completely subdue this Li Anliang. (To be continued......)
