As the weather warms, not only the situation in the Wa Kingdom is undergoing drastic changes, but the situation in North Korea, which has been dormant for a winter, is also changing, whether it is Li Long's royal army, or Qi Yanming's rebels, they are secretly preparing for the next decisive war, after all, they all know that who has the final say in the future of Korea depends on their performance in the war.

However, it may also be that the next war of Zhilu Dao is very important, so although spring in Korea has come, and the climate has become warm and humid, whether it is the four major rebels led by Qi Yanming or Li Long's king's army, they all chose to stand still, and it seems that they also know the truth of the spear to shoot the first bird, so they are waiting for others to come out first.

Zhou Zhong was very dissatisfied with this strange calm situation in North Korea, because this was not the result he wanted to see, in his ideal, it was better for North Korea to be a mess inside, so that in the early stage he could buy a lot of arms and food, so as to plunder the wealth of North Korea, and in the later stage, he could also install his own strength, and then control the whole of North Korea politically or economically.

It is precisely with such calculations that Zhou Zhong finally couldn't sit still after seeing that all parties in North Korea did not take the initiative to provoke a war, so he began to take the initiative to intervene in the situation in North Korea, but he did not plan to send troops, but planned to take a step forward in his plan to control North Korea, and now find a suitable agent in North Korea, and then support this agent to achieve his own goals.

If you want to support an agent, you must have a good understanding of the forces of all parties in North Korea, which is nothing to Zhou Chong. Because he controlled the trade of the Ming Dynasty to Korea. Through these trades and exchanges. It is easy to find out the details of North Korea's various forces.

Among the five major forces in Korea, although Li Long has been defeated and retreated, and now he can only defend the Gyeonggi Province area, Zhou Chong knows very well that the strength of Li Long, the king of Korea, is still at the top of all forces, and none of the rebels, including Qi Yanming, can compete with Li Long alone, just because of Li Long's misdeeds before. made the whole of Korea very disgusted with him, and the rebels from all walks of life were also determined to destroy him, so although Li Long's strength was strong, it was likely to be the first force to be eliminated, and then the rebels from all walks of life competed for the leadership of Korea.

For Zhou Chong, Li Long should be a good partner to work with, first, he was originally the king of Joseon, and he was the strongest, if he chose him as his agent, he would spend a lot less financial and material resources. And people like Lee Long, who are spurned by all North Koreans, want to keep their current position. He can only choose to cling to himself, which will also facilitate Zhouzhong's control of North Korea.

However, after careful consideration, Zhou Zhong gave up Li Long with a pity, because he took into account Li Long's character, this person has a brutal personality, and he grew up in the Korean royal family since he was a child, and his personality must be very arrogant, and he will not be driven by anything else at all, if he chooses such a person to be his agent in North Korea, the other party may behave more deferentially at the beginning, but maybe one day he will turn his face and deny others, and even clash with himself regardless of it, because Li Long is not a rational person. Even in a sense, he was originally a madman, so Zhou Zhong thought that it was too dangerous to cooperate with such a person, and it was better to find someone with a normal personality.

After excluding Li Long, all that remained were the rebels led by Qi Yanming, the strongest of which was Qi Yanming's Zhongqing Army, but he was also the first to be excluded by Zhou Chong, after all, Qi Yanming was originally a thief wanted by the Ming Dynasty, and he was secretly connected with such a person as the governor of the four seas.

In addition to Qi Yanming, among the rebels of North Korea, there are only three rebels left in the Pyongan Army, the Gangwon Army and the Gyeongsang Army, which are second only to Qi Yanming, among the three rebels, the Pyongan Army originated in the south of Pyongan Province in the southwest of North Korea, which is close to the Ming Dynasty, and is always facing the invasion of the Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty, and the folk customs are relatively strong.

Before the North Pyongan Province was slaughtered by the Jurchens, resulting in the North Pyongan Province thousands of miles of uninhabited, a large number of refugees fled into the North Pyongan Province, as a result of the poor resettlement of these refugees in North Korea, coupled with Li Long's long-term misconduct in the country, and finally made these refugees in the South Pyongan Province Rebellion, after this period of annexation, finally formed the current Pyongan Army, these troops are mainly composed of the previous refugees, they have nothing, they are not afraid of death in the war, and there are many people, the Korean officers and soldiers were killed by them and retreated, It can be said that they are the most fierce of the Four Routes rebels, but they only know the destruction of the road and do not know the construction of the road, so they are the poorest of the four rebels, and there are no decent weapons in the army.

The leader of the Hean Army is named Park Chengshu, according to the news that Zhou Chongda heard, this person is just a reckless man, except for the courage of battle, there is no other merit at all, but it is this reckless man, who actually defeated all kinds of rebels around Pyongan Road, and finally became the overlord of the side that ruled the vast area of Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province, which is obviously a bit unreasonable, and the most reckless Zhou Chong and his subordinates came to the conclusion that Park Chengshu must have one or several loyal strategists around him to give advice, otherwise with his ability, It is simply impossible to become the leader of the Heian Army.

Compared with the Heian Army composed of refugees, the Gangwon Army, which is also one of the four major rebels, is unique, because the main body of the Gangwon Army turned out to be the defective North Korean officers and soldiers, these North Korean officers and soldiers were originally the defenders of Gangwon Province, and because of the leadership of Qi Yanming, Gangwon Province also rebelled, so Li Long ordered the defenders of Gangwon Province to quell the rebellion, but they were unwilling to pay military salaries, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Korean officers and soldiers, and finally rebelled with the rebels, and as a result, the equipment and combat effectiveness of these Korean officers and soldiers were far stronger than those ordinary rebels. After several rounds of annexation and elimination, this Gangwon army, which was mainly composed of mutinous officers and soldiers, appeared.

Now the leader of the Gangwon army is named Choi Dong-ryong, who used to be a middle-level officer among the Korean officers and soldiers, and was extremely talented in military affairs, but because he offended his boss, he was suppressed as a result, and later participated in the rebellion, and with his outstanding military talents, he soon became the leader of the rebels among the officers and soldiers, and later annexed several other rebels and became the overlord of Gangwon Province, and Gangwon Province and Gyeonggi Province are adjacent to each other, Cui Dongxi has always been ambitious to personally capture Li Long, for which he has attacked Gyeonggi Province several times, It's a pity that there is still a considerable gap between his strength and Li Long, and he can only return in vain.

The Gyeongsang Army is also a little special, Gyeongsang-do and the Wa Kingdom are close to each other, and they bear the brunt of the Mipo Wa Rebellion, and the most traumatized people, and the people in the road suffer great casualties, but before the Mipo Wa Rebellion, Jeolla Province here and next to it is a very prosperous road in North Korea, and it is also the base camp of the Shi clan, and many famous Shi clans in Korea originated here.

However, with Li Long's persecution of the Shi clan in the country and the occurrence of the Miura War, the Shi clan in Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province suffered heavy casualties, and the various Dashi clans were also greatly injured, especially Li Long's persecution of them, at the end of the day, it has reached the point of doing everything at all, if they don't want to find a way to protect themselves, then there is only one way to perish.

It was also in this situation that a well-known scholar surnamed Zheng in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province first raised the flag to rebel, and as a result, other scholars also responded, these scholars had knowledge, connections, and wealth, so their rebellion was not as messy as others, but began to unite after the rebellion, trying not to consume their own strength on the premise of forming a larger alliance, as a result, the Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla provinces formed a warrior alliance, and the Gyeongsang army was the army in their hands, Moreover, with the financial support of various warriors, the Gyeongsang Army was the best-equipped of the four major rebels, and it was also the most important trading partner of Zhou Chong in Korea, after all, only these wealthy warriors could afford his sky-high weapons and food.

The Gyeongsang Army did not have a unified leader, because it was an alliance formed by all the Gyeongsang and Jeolla clans in order to protect themselves, and in this alliance, there were several powerful clans, each of whom had a group of crowds, and it was these clans who controlled the actions of the Gyeongsang Army.

It is worth mentioning that the Gyeongsang Army and Qi Yanming's Chungcheong Army are also in constant conflict, the reason is that Qi Yanming is very greedy for the rich Gyeongsangbuk-do, and took advantage of the opportunity that the Gyeongshang-myun army has not yet been formed, and sent troops to invade Gyeongsangbuk-do, and as a result, they occupied the northern part of Gyeongsangbuk-do, which has threatened the safety of the warrior alliance, in order to drive the Chungcheong-kyun army out of their own territory, so the two sides have fought several times before, but unfortunately the strength of the Gyeongshang-myun army is still a step worse than Qi Yanming, and the most difficult thing is not only failed to recover the northern area of Gyeongsangbuk-do, Instead, they lost some land again, much to the annoyance of the Warrior Alliance, but unfortunately there was no other way.

In addition, the Gyeongsang army is also the only rebel army that does not pose a threat to Li Long, because their territory and Li Long's Gyeonggi Province is separated by the territory of the Chungcheong army and the Gangwon army, so if they want to send troops to attack Li Long, they can only borrow from the Chungcheong army and the Gangwon army, but unfortunately the three rebels are filthy and filthy, and the Gyeongsang army does not dare to send troops deep into the opponent's territory, so the Gyeongsang army can only be in the southern corner, and if they want to dominate Korea, they can only defeat the Chungcheong army or the Gangwon army first, Otherwise, you can only watch others eliminate Li Long and several other rebels, and then go back and clean up yourself.
