Chapter 342 The country does not know that there is a people, and the people do not know that there is a country
"Is their army a herd of pigs?"
Emperor Yang said very frantically: "But I remember that they have nearly 20,000 royal defense guards on the border, and even if they scatter 20,000 pigs for three days, they can't catch them all!" How did they all get wiped out? ”
You must know that the Goryeo Army at this time, or their official name is the local defense force of the Ming Goryeo Kingdom, which is also trained by the instructors of the Ming Army, all use brown bass smoothbore guns, plus the nine catties and four and a half catties of bronze smoothbore guns eliminated by the Ming Army, which basically reached the level of the European powers in the thirties and forties of the nineteenth century, and was actually defeated by the Qing Army in three days, which can be compared with our Qing Army in the First Wu Dynasty.

"Whoever is a soldier doesn't fight."
Yan Kyu, the prime minister in Goryeo who rushed back by steamer, said.
"Goryeo is completely ignorant of the people, the people don't know the country, the Li family and those ministers just need the people to be obedient and maintain their brocade clothes and food in peace and stability, and they don't care what kind of life the people live. The vast majority of Goryeo were destitute, and the common people didn't care who invaded them, because even if the Qing army invaded them, their life would not be worse. Even if the Qing army did not invade, they were still struggling on the death line, and when the Qing army invaded, they were still struggling on the death line, in fact, according to the ministers, the people of Goryeo even had certain expectations for the Tartars. ”
He continued.
He actually didn't dare to say that in addition to Li Yan and his ministers, those Ming businessmen who knocked on the bones also played a disgraceful role.
In recent years, because of the monopoly of trade, coupled with the natural fear of the Ming Dynasty by the Goryeo officials, especially the extraterritoriality, those Ming merchants have gone too far in Goryeo, what is ingenious and plundering, what is the collusion between officials and businessmen, what is usury, in short, the original sin of capitalism has been fully demonstrated in the people of Goryeo. It is said that there are also people who collude with bandits to kidnap tickets and blackmail, anyway, they are protected by extraterritoriality, and these bastards dare not have a lower limit in the country, but when they go to Goryeo, they are immediately revealed one by one. The Goryeo people, who were originally oppressed by the heavy mountain of feudalism, are now pressed on their heads by a capitalist mountain, not to mention that the people are not living well anyway, they are all selling their children and daughters, which can be known from the flood of Goryeo women in the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, behind these Goryeo girls are also stained with blood and tears!
"Why is that?"
Yang Feng said knowingly.
Of course he knows this, that Jinyiwei has a Goryeo command envoy, and more than 1,000 intelligence personnel are in charge of Goryeo, to be honest, even Li Zhuo does not know as much about the grassroots situation of his country as Yang Feng.
"Although the Tartars were plundered, the captive Goryeo people would not be treated by nue, Yinzhen there was a lack of population, and the vast soil in the northeast was different from that of Goryeo, which had more people and less land, so the captive Goryeo people would get enough land without food and clothing. The products there are too rich, in their words, they call the roe deer scooped with sticks, and the people of Yinzhen still have some ability to govern the country, and they dare not oppress the people too much when they are in danger, so life under his rule is definitely much better than under the rule of Li Yan.
It is precisely because of this that the hearts of the people of Goryeo are oriented to the Tartars.
The common people are all interested in the Tartars, so how can the soldiers really resist? In fact, the minister estimated that the purpose of the Tartars' entry into Goryeo this time was probably not to rob Goryeo's land, they were not short of land, so if the Northeast really wanted to be developed, that is, all Goryeo people could feed them, and their goal was likely to be to plunder the population on a large scale, and those poor people of Goryeo might be happy to follow them. ”
Yan Kui said.
"These Diao people!"
Emperor Yang said speechlessly.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of Goryeo can not be solved by simply sending troops, even if there is no Tartar invasion, the people's grievances will accumulate, and Goryeo will inevitably be chaotic, the best way is to use the Li family to govern the country without a way, can not protect the territory and the people, take back the right to govern the country, and divide the prefectures and counties directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and carry out land reform on Goryeo in accordance with domestic standards, and open schools for the people of Goryeo.
Yan Kui said very frankly.
Obviously, he, the minister in Goryeo, is still very responsible, basically this is the best way to deal with it, at this time, the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo are afraid of the Ming Dynasty to the core, if Yang Feng is directly annexed, even Li Yan will not have the courage to resist. Anyway, even if it is annexed, he is indispensable as a hereditary county king, and those ministers and local officials are also officials, and then distribute land to the common people and give them compulsory education, then the Goryeo people will be grateful to Dade, and there is no need for the Ming army to send troops, in this way to boost the morale of the Goryeo people, and it will definitely be easy to beat the Qing army back.
And since then, Goryeo has become the provincial capital of the Ming Dynasty.
However, although the plan is good, His Majesty the Emperor will not listen.
"This matter must not be, so how can the Li family be loyal for generations, how can it be abolished with a small mistake? The Tartars enter the Kou, destroy it, and pass on the Goryeo messenger! ”
Yang Feng said categorically.
Of course, Goryeo wants to swallow it, but it is not swallowed now, the reason is very simple, their population is too much, at this time the total population of Goryeo is more than 6 million, and the Ming Dynasty is less than 70 million, and it is too ruthless to mix one-tenth of the stick into the Chinese bloodline, not to mention that there are still a lot of messy nationalities in the 70 million population of the Ming Dynasty, so you have to reduce the population of Goryeo by 2 million or 3 million, and at that time you simply pinched your nose and admitted.
And this war is the best chance.
Immediately afterwards, the Goryeo envoy, Choi Seok-san, who was also the leader of Goryeo, was called into the Mukden Temple, and the latter lay on the ground and shouted long live in fear.
"Flat, will the King of Goryeo be okay in the near future?"
Yang Feng put on his twelve-year-old hat and posed with imperial majesty and said.
"The king of Goryeo is well!"
Cui Xixian hurriedly got up and kowtowed again.
"Your envoy has worked hard from afar!"
Yang Feng said.
"The courtiers have no regrets when they see the face of the sky."
Cui Xixian lay on the ground holding the distress letter, and continued with a handful of snot and tears: "Your Majesty's destiny is returned, the United is admired, and all the people are relied on, and the courtiers can see the face of the sky like a winter insect bathing in the light of the sun and the moon. ”
An attendant hurriedly took Li Yan's distress letter and sent it to Yang Feng.
"I already know about this, and since you are my subjects, I will naturally not sit idly by."
Yang Feng looked at the distress letter and said.
"The decree was that Yu Qin, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Army, would be the strategic envoy of Goryeo, and the Seventh Army would immediately enter the court, abolish the Goryeo town guard, and take Chen Bai, the former Goryeo town guard, as the chief of staff of the Seventh Army, and the original Goryeo garrison army would be included in the Seventh Army, and the local defense army of the Kingdom of Goryeo would also be placed under the command of the Goryeo Mission.
Then he said.
The attendant next to him hurriedly wrote it down.
"I am not only the lord of the world, but also the lord of Goryeo, the people of Goryeo are no different from the people of China, they are all my people, I will never sit idly by, the imperial army will not arrive soon, you can hold on, before the army arrives, the Goryeo garrison will go north first to protect Pyongyang."
Then Yang Feng said to Cui Xixian again.
"Thank you, Lord Longen!"
Cui Xixian shouted excitedly lying on the ground.
He really didn't expect Yang Feng to be so refreshing, he agreed to send troops without the slightest hesitation, and directly sent an army, you must know that the Ming army has 30,000 people, plus the actual Goryeo garrison army of one and a half brigades, the Ming army will send out nearly 40,000 troops, and Yinzhen in the northeast is only more than 40,000 new troops in total, and only 20,000 can really be used in Goryeo, with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army 40,000 against 20,000, it is not the same as destroying the withering and decaying, it can be said that as long as the Ming army arrives, the Qing army can be easily beaten out.
However, he didn't know that at this time, the Seventh Army was suppressing bandits in Guangxi!
After sending this guy away, Yang Feng also smiled with satisfaction, the Seventh Army received the order to withdraw in batches from all parts of distant Guangxi and then complete the assembly, and then load the ship and transport it to Goryeo at the same time to change into winter combat equipment, this is to the Gaima Plateau, the matter of the volunteers freezing to death and frostbite in the DPRK must not be repeated, so it is estimated that it will pass after basically two months. Then during this period of time, the brigade and a Pyongyang garrison of the Goryeo garrison must be ineffective, plus the cold weather will lose a defeat and lose Pyongyang, so that the Seventh Army will arrive at the 38th parallel, and then slowly push north!
So how did the cold Tianming Army fight?
You must know that until now, the Ming army is still dominated by southern soldiers, especially the vast majority of officers are from the south, so it would be good for them to fight in an environment of more than ten degrees below zero, and it would be good to be able to exert half of their combat effectiveness, not to mention that the northern ports of Goryeo will be frozen next, and there will be a few heavy snowfalls, and the supply of materials will not be available, in short, this war will not end until next spring.
Let's just play slowly!
beat him and killed 100,000 people a year.
However, although the plan was like this, the drama still had to be performed to the fullest, and then the newspapers around the Ming Dynasty began to hype up, calling on the common people to have money and contribute to help the brothers and sisters of Goryeo defend their homeland. It is said that at this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty still had a certain affection for Goryeo, especially some of the remnants who fled to Goryeo gradually returned, and as soon as they publicized that the Goryeo people protected them, it was easier for the people to be moved. So much so that soon there were donations for Goryeo on the streets of Nanjing, and there were really many donors, which shows the deep friendship of the people of the Ming Dynasty to the Goryeo people.
Of course, this may also be the deep friendship of prostituting those Goryeo Ji women.
But in any case, when the millions of dragon yuan raised were handed over to Cui Xixian, this guy was still moved to tears, and then he wiped away his tears of excitement and returned to Seoul with a large number of weapons and ammunition purchased with donations and Yan Kui, and then read the same affectionate decree of Emperor Yang to Li Zhuo and his ministers, and then the Goryeo garrison stationed in Seoul quickly went north to reinforce Pyongyang amid the gongs and drums of the Goryeo people.
However, as soon as they passed Kaesong, they received news that the Qing army had broken through Anju and besieged Pyongyang. (To be continued.) )
