Chapter 120: Shandong General Army

Politics is inseparable from party struggle, whether it is North Korea or Daming, but one difference is that the party to which Kim Zidian belongs in the party struggle of the Li Dynasty is always the last party to benefit.

When Li Liang ascended the throne, the Westerners Li Gui and Jin Zidian gained power, and the Southern People's Party Li Yuanyi entered the cabinet, marking the beginning of the confrontation between the two parties, in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Westerners split successfully the Western faction Li Gui, Jin Zidian and other Qingxi factions Jin Shangxian, Shen Qin, etc., but because the Gongxi faction overwhelmed the Qingxi faction by virtue of its great merits, so Jin Zidian and others mastered the power of Korea, Chongzhen six years, the Gongxi faction continued to split into the original party and the Luo party, the original party was close to the Ming Dynasty, and its leader was Yuan Douping, including Shen Qiyuan, the Qingyuan Mansion Jun who was later called Jin Zidian's sworn enemy, etc., The Luo Party advocated aiding Houjin, and the two sides had many fierce confrontations on the position of North Korea, which also led to the vacillation of North Korea's foreign policy, but Jin Zidian was the first-class meritorious hero of Li Liang's canonization anyway, and the court had been operating for many years, the original party had been in a weak position, fortunately, with the rise of the Dongjiang tribes, the power of Houjin continued to shrink under the blow of the Ming army, and dealt a severe blow to the political proposition of the Luo Party, but the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and the influence of the Luo Party was still not something that the original party could contend with.

North Korea's Changdeok Palace is much more shabby than the Ming Jingshi, and there is no connotation and style that has been inherited for a hundred years, even the Praetorian Guards are also shabby, guarding the door with weapons, North Korea's national strength is empty, and even Gyeongbokgung Palace was burned down during the Imjin War, and when Ding Mao was in chaos, Houjin only sent only 3,000 men and horses to drive straight in, drinking horses and Yalu River, what they never expected was that the Dongjiang Army, which they had no longer pinned their hopes on, became strong again, and Houjin was defeated and retreated. And every time North Korea chooses a foreign policy, it always chooses the worst outcome.

"Your Majesty, the Dongjiang River was in hardship back then. As a result, its soldiers and civilians continued to flee to Yizhou and other places, but now the Dongjiang soldiers and horses are strong, and the food and salary are sufficient, and even the people of our country have poured into various parts of the Dongjiang River to seek food in disregard of the law. There is no respect between brothers, and they treat me as a slave! Dongjiang Town bullied people, and cried to the Emperor of the Ming State several times to no avail. If North Korea wants to survive on its own, it must no longer expect the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Kingdom itself is difficult to protect, and the Dajin plundered south. There are more than 100,000 people in the Xuanda area of the Ming Dynasty. Countless wealth, the Ming army trapped in the city, watching Dajin leave, it can be seen that the Ming Kingdom has declined to the extreme, there is no power to fight back, Lushun that strong army is also besieged by Dajin in Yangguan Fort, the elite of the Eight Banners attack day and night. Seeing that it will be a copy of the Battle of the Great Ling River, after the destruction of the Lushun Qiang army. The Dongjiang Ming Army, which is a fox and a fake tiger, will be liquidated by Dajin immediately, and when the time comes, we will jointly investigate the matter of our DPRK's assistance, how will our DPRK deal with itself? My dynasty was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, but how the Ming Dynasty treated me, bullying and persecution is innumerable, and now openly supports the remnants of the previous dynasty, which means that there is no need to say more, our dynasty and Dajin have no accidents, and have always been reconciled, Dajin Khan is humble and kind to our dynasty, and the alliance of Pyongyang is also an alliance of brothers. Shen Deyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, touched his head to the ground and said bitterly.

Hearing that the Luo Party was blatantly lying, the opposition was naturally not to be outdone, and at that moment, Hong Yihan of the original party came out to refute, listing in detail the many rights and interests that Houjin claimed from North Korea after the Battle of Ding Mao, and recited the arrogant letter written by Huang Taiji to Li Liang, and listed the tragic situation of Haoge and others plundering Yizhou, and finally Hong Yihan also prostrated on the ground, crying: "Today is to serve Hu Lu, stealing peace is the only one left, and extending the sundial, what is it to the ancestors, what is it to the world, and what ......is it to the future generations."

Luo Party Cui Mingji also rushed to say: "Ming Guo disregards the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, suddenly has different intentions, persecution with force, all humiliation, have been exhausted, on the other hand, Dajin, strong strength, invincible in the world, his Khan is willing to be commensurate with my brother, the way of the neighbor, to be able to have both, expedient to alleviate the disaster, how can you not think about it at all?" ”

The two factions do not give in to each other, and the court openly pulls and moves, of course, there are party and government reasons, but as the Dongjiang army grows more and more powerful, it is increasingly hostile to North Korea, where North Korea goes, no matter which side is chosen, it is painful, although Huang Taiji's letter is more and more euphemistic, but even the Luo Party is more and more disappointed in Daikin, Daikin's decline can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, North Korea is barren, and there is not much room for choice, but Dongjiang and Daikin are increasingly dissatisfied with their swing, both the Luo Party and the original party are well aware, What to rescue Gwanghae-kun, what to send his son as a hostage, all kinds of means are to force them to make a statement, but do they really dare to make this determination?

Li Liang raised his head weakly and was silent, his face was a little sallow recently, but the imperial doctor couldn't find the cause, and finally prescribed some medicinal materials to nourish qi and nourish the liver.

"What about Uiju?" Li Liang finally asked

The hall is silent, Yiju is occupied, and the North Korean forces can't take it back at all, these Ming troops are all equipped with firearms, and it is said that even Dajin's white swing tooth horn wearing three layers of iron armor can't resist it, who knows what Tan Yinghua's next thought is?

Jin Zidian was furious, and was just about to say that he would recruit loyal and righteous people from Korea, and order him to send people to contact Dajin, and he would definitely be able to break Uiju and recover his homeland by attacking from both sides, but Li Liang muttered again: "When the slave chieftain Haoge seized Uiju, he attacked the slaves and expropriated the ......."

Luo Dang was suddenly shocked and was about to argue, Li Liang slowly stretched out his hand and shook it, signaling the end of the court meeting, and the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides ran over to help him up, and Li Liang's head was already covered with beads of sweat, dripping from his sallow face from time to time.

That night, a thrilling thing happened in the pavilion of Wang Xiaoqi and other envoys, countless people with torches gathered in front of the door of the pavilion, these people scolded loudly, while picking up broken bricks and stones and threw them at them, the 500 soldiers surrounding the pavilion turned a blind eye to this, some people who had received bribes from envoys privately revealed that a wave of large-scale resistance against the Ming State had been set off in North Korea, this was only the beginning, and there may be more fierce hostile actions in the future, they could not guarantee the personal safety of the mission, and signaled, If the mission leaves as soon as possible, they can escort the mission to the area around Atauiju. The atmosphere in the building was quite tense, and the negotiators sent by the Lushun Department of Commerce and Trade were all panicked and asked to leave the DPRK as soon as possible, but Wang Xiaoqi, the chief officer of the Second Action Team of the Foreign Intelligence Department, vetoed it, and sent a letter asking to meet Li Kun.

At the mansion of Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, the guerrillas, staff generals, and deputy generals of various battalions gathered together. are all congratulating Liu Zeqing in unison.

"He Dashuai"

"Congratulations to the handsome, our stepmothers have finally come out"

In the Ming Dynasty, there were many kinds of names for the chief military officer, and the earliest ones were mostly called military gates. But since the military gate was used to address the governor, the general regimental training chief soldier or the title was changed to the general rong, and there were many people who called the commander, but generally the general soldier of the town dared to call it so.

The words of this general made everyone even claim to be, and even Liu Zeqing was a little embarrassed, Shandong Town was one of the first twenty-three general towns in the Ming Dynasty, although there was no general seal. But the position was quite important at the time of the Japanese rebellion, but the establishment of Wendeng, Weihai. After the three major battalions of Jimo, the Shandong general army rarely extended its hand to the Denglai area, and when the Dongnu rebelled, Denglai simply re-established the general military officer. The money and grain equipment of the imperial court was also greatly tilted. In the end, he even paid 100,000 yuan a year from Liao's salary, but the Shandong general army did not get anything.

Liu Zeqing looked at this dilapidated general military mansion, even more dilapidated than the mansion of a thousand-household official in Denglai, of course, this can't be blamed on the snobbery of the imperial court, it is really the combat effectiveness of the battalions under the jurisdiction of the Shandong General Army. If Zhu Dadian hadn't brought Guan Ning Tie over with him, I was afraid that the Shandong soldiers would have been slaughtered. As a result, Liu Zeqing, the dignified Shandong commander-in-chief, is now reduced to the point of oblivion, and all this is due to the rise of Anton Wei Yang Bo.

Liu Zeqing counted all the old grievances on Yang Bo's head, extinguished the Xiangjiao Sect, attacked Lushun, and resisted Jiannu alone, and the general army in Shandong has been dominant since then, and what is even more disgusting is that he is dignified Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, took a group of officers and soldiers who are not much better than those hoes to suppress the bandit army, if he didn't run fast, several battalions would be disabled, Yang Bo hung the seal of the general of Zhennan in just a few years from a generation of hundreds of households, the prince Shaobao, and promoted to the general army of Lushun Town, and he Liu Zeqing could only look at it with a blank eye......

Liu Zeqing looked resentful, he recalled that last time he had personally visited Yang Bo, who was still a guerrilla general at the time, and wanted to beg Yang Bo to take care of himself in a low voice, after all, they were all officials in Shandong, and they didn't look up and look down, but they didn't expect Yang Bo, who was proud of the spring breeze at that time, to refuse, and not give himself face at all, but all parts of the Dongjiang River have made a lot of military achievements, and now it is also regarded as a chicken and dog ascending to heaven, Liu Zeqing was humiliated by this, and he was so angry that he never went to Dengzhou again.

"The surname Yang, you will also have today?" Liu Zeqing muttered viciously in his mouth, his heart was extremely happy, although he had said this sentence several times when the imperial court ordered him to rescue Lushun, he didn't expect Yang Bo to be able to save the day every time, but he made countless great achievements, which made Liu Zeqing, who was interested in watching jokes, fall through his eyes.

"But this time, let's see how you can get out?" Liu Zeqing really didn't believe it.

Liu Zeqing also raised a lot of soldiers, in addition to the three thousand elite soldiers, there are more than 5,000 battalions of soldiers, he has long seen clearly, in the troubled times, there are soldiers in the hands of the grass king, in order to raise soldiers Liu Zeqing can be described as a painstaking effort, in addition to business, but also sent soldiers to rob as loud horse bandits, no way, the gentry of this place in Gunzhou, the royal family, and the civil and military officials do not buy him Liu Zeqing's account very much, and he really can't afford to raise so many soldiers if he doesn't go crooked.

"Your Majesty, Denglai should have been under the jurisdiction of my Shandong General Army, who can still restrain those arrogant generals in Lushun without a big commander?" A guerrilla skillfully slapped a sycophant.

The martial artists have a loud voice, these thousands of general staff generals have no culture, and they speak straightforwardly, since the marshal revealed the secret order of the imperial court to enter Lushun, the room full of generals and officials are all elated.

"The villain has been to Lushun, where life is really rich?" A praise painting also took over the conversation and said to everyone: "It's just ordinary military people, those days were much better than ours, the meals were all white flour flatbread, and there were big fish and meat every day, damn, they were very lucky." ”

Another lieutenant snorted and said: "Damn, if the imperial court allocates money and grain to us every year, we will also have a good life, Lao Tzu has already held back his anger, see if they still have the life to eat big fish and meat this time?" ”

Liu Zeqing laughed when he heard this, and said, "Rabbit cubs, Lao Tzu will take you to get rich!" ”

Hearing Liu Zeqing's words, everyone was thunderous with joy, and they were all gearing up, and they couldn't help but fly to Lushun to eat and drink spicy food now...... (To be continued......)
