Chapter 435: Soldiers Sent to Seoul
Zhang Chu really admired Xie Lian a little, and he really had a good understanding of the emperor's psychology. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although the emperor criticized Zhang Chu for asking for officials and money, he finally issued an order to order Zhang Chu to defend Korea.
The goal was achieved, and Zhang Chucai didn't care what the emperor said. In fact, Zhang Chu had already made up his mind, even if there was no holy decree from Emperor Chongzhen, he would go to North Korea.
At the same time as the request, Zhang Chu had already begun to prepare, and he ordered the security forces in Lushun and Dalinghe City to strengthen the castle to prevent the attack of the Houjin people at any time. In the Dongjiang area, fleets shuttled back and forth, transporting Shandong's personnel and supplies to the castle of the security army on land opposite Dongjiang Island.
Zhang Chu concentrated financial resources, recruited many new soldiers, and assembled a team of 20,000 people. He handed over the affairs of Lushun and other places to He Jin, and he himself was going to march with the team again.
Zhang Chu's goal this time was not to point to Houjin, but to drive the team to North Korea. The North Korean officials were so frightened to death when they saw a large group of men coming, and the last time Amin led the Houjin people to burn, kill, and loot in North Korea, the North Koreans were too impressed.
Fortunately, I quickly figured out that it was the army of the Ming Dynasty of the Celestial Empire, but even if the army of the Ming Dynasty drove into North Korea with such a swagger, it was not very good.
In bold North Korea, local officials came to Zhang Chu to inquire about the intentions of the security forces.
Zhang Chu was very interested in the North Korean official who came to meet him, and he reacted quickly and boldly enough.
Not long after the security army entered North Korea, this official dared to come over with a few people, and it was already very kind of to not flee in the face of tens of thousands of troops, and he dared to come to ask for a meeting, this person should be considered a little backbone.
"What are you doing in our army?" Zhang Chu had a straight face, a serious face.
"I'm the governor of Pyongyang Province, Pyongan Province, Kim Kai-chie, I heard that the army is coming, come over ****." Jin Jiezhi is quite good at speaking, and he speaks Chinese well.
"Where's your stuff?" Zhang Chu doesn't like this kind of person who just talks about it.
"The things are being prepared, and I'm afraid that the general will be in a hurry, so I'll come to meet the general in advance, and the things will arrive later." Kim Jieji's reaction was still very fast.
"Tell me straight, what do you want to do?" didn't even have anything, Zhang Chu didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
"I don't know where the army is going. Is there anything we can help with? Jin Jiezhi asked tactfully.
"We are about to leave for Seoul, and our Emperor His Majesty is very unhappy with the alliance between Korea and the Houjin, and now entrusts me with full authority in the affairs of Korea. I think that since North Korea was beaten by Houjin and formed an alliance with Houjin all of a sudden, it is very simple to dissolve the relationship between you, and if the Ming Dynasty fights North Korea again, won't North Korea come back. What you need to do is to make our Emperor His Majesty very unhappy, I will lead troops to Hancheng and tell you the news that if anyone stops our security army along the way, I will fight all the way. Show him the decree. Zhang Chu finally said to the clerk next to him.
Jin Jiezhi was also in a fog when he heard Zhang Chu's words, and he didn't understand the general's logic. Isn't North Korea's alliance with Houjin also forced? Who made you Ming Dynasty always lose the battle. After taking the holy decree Jin Jiezhi and looking at it carefully, there was some hope in his heart and he hurriedly said: "You are General Zhang Chu, I have heard of your name a long time ago, His Majesty the Ming Emperor is indeed dissatisfied with the alliance between my king and Houjin, but he also said that he wanted you to protect my North Korea and did not ask you to lead troops to Seoul." ”
"Of course I have to protect North Korea, but I can't protect the brothers of the Houjin people. I brought my troops to Seoul to show the Koreans in Seoul whether I have the ability to protect Korea, and to ask your king if he needs my protection, so that he can do things with peace of mind in the future. Zhang Chu said his purpose.
"Okay, general, I will report to the king, but please stay here for a while, and wait for the king's will before you march, so as not to have any misunderstanding with the soldiers and civilians along the way." Jin Jiezhi decided to stabilize Zhang Chu first.
"Why do I still need the king's approval for my Ming army to walk in Korea, I'm not afraid of misunderstandings, and I will destroy whoever is in the way if I misunderstand." Zhang Chu was not fooled, and he was not polite at all.
"I mean let me prepare wine, meat, food and grass, and treat the soldiers under General Zhang's hand well." Jin Jiezhi thought to himself that if he didn't do it this time, he wouldn't be able to stop this Ming army.
"Alright, we'll fix up here for the day, and wait for you to bring in the wine and meat for the soldiers to relax." Zhang Chu finally agreed not to march immediately. Kim Jiezhi understood the preciousness of time, and immediately went back and wrote a letter under the pretext of preparing things, and asked him to send it to Seoul overnight and hand it over to King Yi Liang. Here, he tried to make Zhang Chu's march slow down. As for using the army to stop the security army, Jin Jiezhi didn't even think about it.
Jin Jiezhi's Ping'an Dao is at the best forefront of the confrontation between the Later Jin people, and he is still very clear about what is happening in the Northeast.
The names of Zhang Chu and the security army are now in full swing, and tens of thousands of Houjin people have been defeated by the security army. The combat effectiveness of the security army should be about the same as that of the cavalry of the Later Jin, and Amin of the Later Jin brought 30,000 soldiers to defeat the DPRK, and the strength of the security army can also be done.
The messenger delivered Kim Kai-ji's letter to Seoul, and finally delivered it to the then Joseon king Yi Jung, who also introduced the situation of Jang Chu to the king. Li Liang still has a lot of feelings for the Ming Dynasty, and is very unwilling to form an alliance with the Houjin and pay tribute to the Houjin. Li Liang was very happy about the letter mentioning that there was a holy decree of the Ming Emperor saying that he would send the most capable general Zhang Chu of the Ming Dynasty to protect Korea. Zhang Chu wanted to lead troops to Seoul, and he didn't have much disgust. Because he firmly believed that the Ming would not have any ill will towards North Korea.
At this moment, a Korean minister also hurried to Seoul to meet the king, he was none other than Park Chang-rae of Jeju Island.
The news he brought to the king was that the Ming army would use the fleet to transport the troops on Jeju Island to join Zhang Chu. At sea, Park Changlai saw the powerful warships and huge fleet of the security forces, which made him fully realize the strength of the security forces.
Li Liang called Park Chang-rae into the palace and carefully inquired about the situation of the Ming army on Jeju Island, because he found that Zhang Chu, who was coming this time, and the Ming army on Jeju Island belonged to the same team called the security army. Pak Chang said that the security army is indeed training troops for North Korea, and the North Korean troops in Jeju have been trained very well, and they are equipped with advanced weapons transported by the security army, which can be said to be the strongest combat force in North Korea now. Moreover, the security forces also engaged in a large amount of trade with the North Koreans, which gave the North Korea a large amount of scarce resources, and in general, the security forces should have no ill will towards the North Korea.
"In that case, let Zhang Chu come to Hancheng." Li Liang made up his mind. It was very unruly for the Ming army to come to Seoul to show off their might, but no one stopped them. If you can really unite with the Ming army to defeat Houjin, you will also be angry. (To be continued.) )
