Chapter 594: Take the head of the general in the million-strong army!
.
This Feng Pingjun is really a bit of a character. His personality is a bit like Mao Wenlong, I don't know if he was influenced by Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong is also a relatively upright personality and does not know how to be flexible, but as a result, he annoyed Yuan Chonghuan and was poisoned in vain. Having said that, people who are too slippery, like Wu Sangui, want to pull up a Dongjiang Town alone, but I'm afraid it's not easy.
Facing Zhang Zhun's forced gaze, Li Jue calmly agreed, and did not retract his words at all. Zhang Zhun is observing his essence, why is he not testing Zhang Zhun's essence? For the officials of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jue has already had too many disappointments. He didn't want Zhang Zhun to disappoint him as well.
Zhang Zhun nodded slowly and didn't say anything. For Li Jue's straightforwardness, I have a little more favor. For him for the time being, as long as he is steadfast against the Tartars, he is an allied army. What's more, this kid only has a good impression of himself, not the Ming court, and is his best ally. He said expressionlessly, "In that case, what do you want me to help do?" β
Li Jue said in a deep voice: "Kill Shen Mingbo." β
Zhang Zhun still said expressionlessly: "Kill him alone or destroy his whole army?" β
Li Jue subconsciously looked at the king Li Zong beside him, and said slowly: "I believe that most of the Gyeonggi Provincial garrisons are loyal to the royal family. As long as Shen Mingbo is killed, his subordinates will be leaderless and will naturally disperse. As long as I kill Shin Myeong-bo, I will be able to control most of the Gyeonggi Province defenders. β
He further explained that the signs of rebellion before Shen Mingbo were not obvious, and the relevant authorities received little feedback. This shows that Shen Mingbo's rebellion has obviously not been fully rolled out. The purpose of sending troops to shoot at Seoul this time was not to attack Seoul, but to deliberately create riots and create panic in an attempt to attract more people with ulterior motives to follow.
The main force of the capitulation faction in Korea is led by the army. Shen Qiyuan and Zheng Taijie aside, in the five provinces in the south, there are many wavering generals. These people are afraid to fight the Tartars, and once the Tartars kill them, they will give up resistance and become the lackeys of the Tartars. However, the Tartars had not yet been killed, so they continued to wait. The Joseon royal family lacks adequate and effective monitoring of these generals.
Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "How are you going to do it?" β
Li Jue said resolutely: "I will dispatch three hundred warriors, and you will dispatch three hundred warriors to form a death squad and go straight to Shen Mingbo's lair." β
Zhang Zhun asked slowly: "Where is Shen Mingbo's lair?" β
Li Jue said affirmatively: "Gwachuan." Gwacheon in southern Gyeonggi-do. β
Zhang Zhun said suspiciously: "The Gwacheon area is very large, how do you know where Shen Mingbo is?" β
Li Jue said awe-inspiringly: "I will find out his exact location as soon as possible!" β
Zhang Zhun thought noncommittally, obviously not agreeing with Li Jue's plan. Li Jue's plan was obviously to surprise the troops, and then take the head of the general among the millions of troops. Tactically, it's a good strategy. However, with any strategy, there are risks. The more you take the biased strategy, the greater the risk.
The three hundred Praetorian Guards and the three hundred Tiger Ben Army, if they are besieged by a large number of rebels, it will still be more troublesome. This is a foreign country, not Shandong, Zhang Zhun will not take risks easily. He is not Lei Feng, and he will never do things for the North Koreans for free. After thinking about it, Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Did Shen Mingbo make any requests?" β
Li Jue said coldly: "He wants us to hand you over." However, this is not possible. β
Zhang Zhun thought for a moment, slowly considered something, and suddenly said, "Is there a way for you to let Shen Mingbo come within fifty zhang?" As long as he is within fifty feet, the snipers of our Tiger Army will be able to kill him with a single shot. β
Li Jue shook his head and said regretfully: "I'm afraid not, this person is very careful and will never expose himself to the range of Hancheng's cannons." β
Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "Since that's the case, then there is only a fight." β
He stood up and said awe-inspiringly: "Since you want to fight, you must move quickly!" Let's do it now! Prepare your troops now! Tomorrow at dawn, we'll go! β
Li Jue's bloody nature was suddenly stimulated, and he replied categorically: "Okay! β
He then got up and left, hand-picking his troops.
Li Zong smiled a little weakly at Zhang Zhun, and said apologetically: "Zhang Dudu, I'm really embarrassed to have such a situation. It's all my fault, I used to trust them too much. Unexpectedly, once the Tartars put pressure on them, they all became white-eyed wolves. β
Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Fortunately, we can still handle it." β
Li Zong said a little tiredly: "I'm old and my physical strength is not good, and you young people will still be in charge of things in the future." If you need anything, you can find Li Jue. I have granted him full authority to dispose of the situation. β
Zhang Zhun nodded and said quietly, "I will." β
Li Zong was ready to leave. Brigadier Zhang sent him to the door. Li Zong suddenly turned around and said with relief: "Zhang Zhun, I am very grateful for your guidance to Hao'er. After he came back this time, he seems to have grown up a lot. I believe that he will definitely be a good king in the future. β
Zhang Zhun looked solemn and said slowly: "This is what you can do." β
Li Zong nodded, thanked him again, and left with the support of the palace maid.
The king, who was not yet forty years old, did look a little old. When he was young, he staged a coup d'Γ©tat, because he was not recognized by the Ming Dynasty, and he was afraid for many years. Just recognized by the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars have risen again, and they have to bear the pressure of the Tartars. Seriously calculated, he basically did not have quiet days.
Judging from what we have come into contact with today, the political situation in the DPRK is indeed very difficult. If he guessed correctly, Li Zong's hands, except for the Praetorian Guard, I am afraid that other armies will be difficult to effectively control. After Li Jue is given power, the situation may be a little better, but in the short term, I am afraid it will not be much better.
For this situation, Zhang Zhun certainly can't sit idly by. If the Tartars completely control North Korea, the strength of the Tartars will definitely be even stronger. He must find a way to give the Koreans the ability and courage to rise up and fight against the Tartars, disperse some of the Tartars' forces, and create conditions for the Tiger Ben Army's counterattack. This is not for the sake of the DPRK, but for itself.
"Zhang Dudu,"
While he was thinking about it, someone suddenly said behind him.
It was the voice of Jin Zidian.
Zhang Zhun turned to look at Jin Zidian, and said casually: "What does Doctor Jin command?" β
Jin Zidian's eyes were equally feminine, as if she were a woman, and her tone was also slow, soft, and low, and she said eloquently: "We heard some rumors, and there was some misunderstanding between Zhang Dudu and the imperial court?" β
Zhang Zhun's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid Dr. Jin heard it wrong, it's not a misunderstanding." β
Jin Zidian smiled softly, and said softly: "Zhang Dudu is very frank in doing things for others. Personally, I would love to make friends with Zhang Dudu. However, I don't think my type is suitable for Zhang Dudu, so I have to make friends with Gao Da. β
Zhang Zhun looked the other party up and down. He quickly concluded that Jin Zidian was indeed courting him. This guy should be the confidant of Li Zong's confidant, and there are some words that Li Zong can't say, only he relays it on his behalf. Zhang Zhun said: "There are no outsiders here, Dr. Jin might as well say it if he has something to say." β
Jin Zidian said casually: "Actually, there is nothing. His Majesty said that after defeating the Tartars, our country would be willing to serve whatever the Governor of Chang commanded. β
Zhang Zhun didn't seem to hear it, and said casually: "Only such a sentence? β
Jin Zidian didn't repeat, and said leisurely: "That's it." β
Zhang Zhun nodded inadvertently and said lightly: "Okay!" I remembered! However, I believe that it will be very difficult for His Majesty the King to repay this favor owed to me! β
Jin Zidian smiled softly again, and said softly: "I hope so." β
With that, he bowed his hand and turned away.
Zhang Zhun also left Qingyun Palace immediately.
At this time, the situation has been basically clarified. It was not really a large-scale rebellion, but an attempt was made to provoke riots. The gunfire was triggered by a small number of rebel shoots in Seoul, not that there were rebels who wanted to attack Seoul. Now that the rebels have been repulsed, the surroundings of Seoul have regained quiet. So, all the guests went home.
This banquet was anticlimactic, and the guests were frightened. For such an important banquet, the safety was not guaranteed, and King Li Zong's face was knocked down a lot, and I believe that some people must be dealt with behind the scenes. Those officials who are close to Shen Mingbo may have a hard time tonight.
When Zhang Zhun came out, Gao Yu was already waiting outside with the soldiers of the Marine Corps. As soon as the guns rang out, the Marines and Pinzi Battalion entered a combat state, and Qingyun Palace and Ayayang Palace were tightly surrounded. However, the rebels did not storm the city, so they did not have a chance to shoot.
After a while, Shen Lingfei, Ji Yuqing, Xu Qingluan and other female dependents also came out of Qingyun Palace. They also had a basic understanding of the situation, and they were not too panicked, and they didn't have anything to say. Only Shen Lingfei complained a little, and said dissatisfiedly: "I really don't know what's going on in this North Korea, it used to look strangely calm, but when you come, you have everything." β
Zhang Zhun said indifferently: "Don't you want me to come?" β
Shen Lingfei hurriedly said, "You deliberately misunderstood what I meant!" I feel like the North Koreans are targeting you! They think you're too easy to bully! β
Ji Yuqing frowned and said, "Feifei, you said it accurately. It was the North Koreans who took refuge in the Tartars who targeted Okrin, and not all North Koreans targeted Okrin. The king and Li Jue both welcomed Yulin's arrival. This is not domestic, Yulin should try to follow the rules when doing things. β
Shen Lingfei looked around, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Yulin, let me make a suggestion, why don't you simply lead the army to North Korea, destroy this incompetent king, and become the king yourself." β
Only she dares to say such crazy things.
Xu Qingluan shook his head and said with a smile: "Are you trying to make Yulin fall willingly?" What's so good about the king of Korea? There is no future for him as a Grand Governor. β
Only then did Shen Lingfei realize that he had lost his words. Zhang Zhun is now the Metropolitan Governor and rules half of Shandong. As the Tiger Army grows stronger and stronger, the territory under control will definitely get bigger and bigger. Now within the Ming Kingdom, there is chaos, and I am afraid that it is time to change the dynasty. With Zhang Zhun's strength, it is not impossible to win the world in chaos. If Zhang Zhun is a rare king of North Korea, then he really has no vision. She hurriedly said, "Yes." North Korea is too small, not as big as North Naoli! β
Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "Shen Lingfei, this is North Korea, not Shandong!" Don't talk nonsense in the future! Otherwise, you will be punished for wearing a military uniform every day! β
Shen Lingfei deliberately stuck out her tongue to express her dissatisfaction. However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but he does not dare to speak. Wearing a military uniform every day, that would kill her. She hasn't worn all the gorgeous clothes she received from the Queen of Joseon!
After returning to Ayayang Palace, it was also heavily guarded. The soldiers of the Pinzi Battalion guarded the Ayayang Palace to the fullest. After receiving Zhang Zhun's order, most of the guards were withdrawn. However, most of the garrison positions have increased the number of troops. The number and density of patrols have increased. In such a context, it is necessary to strengthen the vigilance around us.
"Master, North Korea feels like a mess!"
At night, Zhang Zhun and Gao Hongtu discussed things alone, and he said bluntly.
"The more chaotic North Korea is, the more valuable you are."
Gao Hongtu said with a smile.
"I'm afraid the Tartars will go south."
Zhang Zhun said worriedly.
"Now that Li Jue has returned to military power, the situation should be a little better. The weapons we bring will be sold to the Koreans when the time comes, and a group of troops loyal to the royal family will be armed, and they themselves should be able to deal with the rebellion. As for the Tartars, at the moment the Tartars are busy with the southern strategy, and the coast is constantly being harassed by us, so it should be no longer able to manage North Korea for the time being. β
Gao Hongtu said slowly analyzing.
"I hope so."
Zhang Zhun said slowly.
Actually, he understands very well that Gao Hongtu is very reasonable. At this critical juncture, neither the Tiger Army nor the Tartars could have too much energy to meddle in the affairs of North Korea. The strength of the Tiger Ben army is tense, and the strength of the Tartars is not tense? Relatively speaking, the strength of the Tartars should be more tense than that of the Tiger Army. Because, the Tiger Ben Army is fighting more and more, but the Tartars are fighting less and less.
Even the natives of Sakhalin have been requisitioned, which shows how short of manpower the Emperor Taiji is. When it comes to fighting for population resources, none of the ten Tartar kingdoms is an opponent of the Ming Kingdom. Even after the war, there were still tens of millions of people in the Ming Kingdom. How many people are there in the Tartars? At most, there are only a million people, and you have to add all kinds of foreign population!
