Chapter 542: The Problem Zhao Lie Brought Back
On the pier, drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the soldiers of the brigade of broken captives waited in a neat line. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Two miles outside the wharf, there were people outside the cordon, and many people were looking towards the wharf.
Zhou Yuan was also hidden, his face was no different from other people, as if he was also very excited and curious, full of expectations for the victory of the Broken Army.
Today is the day when the army of the Broken Prisoners came to aid the Korean War and returned to the army victoriously, a few days earlier, the Broken Army protected Hanyang and defeated the news of the Jiannu Army, Shidao has been celebrating for a day, and that day Shidao was full of laughter and firecrackers.
The Shidao Government Office also issued happy money to the people, no more than ten cents in a paper bag, but have you ever seen the Daming Government Office distribute happy money to the people, which is enough to make the people feel emotional.
Zhou Yuan looked out over the bay, and the entire bay was covered with Xiyi warships of the Broken Army, and the tall mainmast of the ship covered the sea.
It's too huge, where did Zhao Lie get such strength, as for Zhao Lie's external claims to the outside world, all of them are the strength of his wife's mother's family, now Zhou Yuan is a little unconvinced, husband and wife support each other, Zhao Lie is also an outsider, okay, so many ships support you Zhao Lie to fight, can the Portuguese do this.
Zhou Yuan watched as the sea ships approached the dock, and a large number of broken troops poured down from the sea ships, far away, but he could still see their excitement.
From this observation, Zhou Yuan could see that the losses of the Broken Army must be slight, otherwise the soldiers would not be so cheerful, this is absolutely impossible.
Zhou Yuan is an old soldier, he knows this at a glance, but this makes him confused, he knows the combat power of the Qing army's iron cavalry, and the combat power of the broken army is good, but it is a fantasy to repel the attack of the Qing army if he wants to lose a little, which is also a mystery.
After thousands of soldiers of the Broken Army and 6,000 reserve troops disembarked and returned to the camp of the Broken Army, Zhao Lie's Li Ji slowly approached the dock.
Zhao Haiming, Zhao Qin, Alexandra, Zhao Meng and others have been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Li Ji docking, their spirits couldn't help but perk, and Zhao Lie was about to get off the ship.
Zhao Lie and the new envoy of the Joseon state, Hong Yihan, who was also a hardcore pro-Ming faction in the Joseon state, was now appointed as the new Licao judge according to Zhao Lie's request to vigorously promote the pro-Ming faction officials, and the original Licao judgment Kim Sang-heon was promoted to Zuo Yizheng.
Hong Yihan's first task in office was to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to thank the Emperor for sending troops to help, even if he knew that Zhao Lie had cut the troops first and then played this time, he had to say so, otherwise North Korea would not know the etiquette.
At the same time, this is also to mend the relationship with the Ming Dynasty, after all, since the Ding Mao chaos, although the two countries continue to communicate, but they are all private, after all, North Korea has signed a peace agreement with Jiannu, and Jiannu cannot be allowed to have a reason to be mad.
Needless to say, the intimacy of the family's meeting was not mentioned, and Zhao Lie introduced Zhao Haiming and Hong Yihan.
Hong Yihan learned that this was Zhao Lie's father of Zhao Zongbing, the former general of the Denglai Naval Division, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, Hong Yihan's gratitude to Zhao Lie in his heart is needless to mention, if it were not for Zhao Lie leading the troops to aid North Korea, he estimated that North Korea had only one way to surrender this time.
What kind of person the king is, he knows too well, the bloody nature of his youth in the past has receded, and he has been tormented by the chaos at home and abroad, and now Li Ju has become a suspicious and indecisive mediocre gentleman.
Hong Yihan estimated that after the surrender of North Korea, there was no place for the pro-Ming faction in the court, and the pro-Ming faction, including him, had to retreat from the people and lose the ability to influence national politics.
Therefore, Zhao Lie's aid to Korea turned the tide of the war, and at the same time, it also allowed North Korea to avoid the vicious Hu Lu who bent his knees and drank blood, so that North Korea, which regarded itself as the orthodoxy of Little China, would not be disgraced and embarrassed.
But he Hong Yihan didn't know that in the original history, after North Korea was forced to surrender, he and two other pro-Ming faction officials were killed by Jiannu Suonna, and even Kim Sang-heon, a well-known pro-Ming minister in North Korea, was asked by Jiannu to imprison Shengjing, and the pro-Ming faction in Korea was almost wiped out.
Zhao Lie actually had a life-saving grace for him and other pro-Ming ministers, of course, Zhao Lie didn't know, he didn't know anything about this history.
There is no need to mention the pride in Zhao Haiming's heart, Zhao Lie's actions made Lao Zhao a little fluttery, aiding the dynasty and building slaves repeatedly, it is simply the trend of the first fierce general since the Ming Dynasty, and even Lao Zhao has faintly felt Zhao Lie's thoughts, and a throne faintly leaned towards the Zhao family.
When Zhao Haiming greeted Hong Yihan, Zhao Lie met with Zhao Qin and hugged Alexandra.
Li Lin stayed at home to take care of the three children, today there are many people at the dock, and the waiting time is long, Zhao Qin's family did not let Li Lin come to the dock with the small Zhao Cunli, so the task of taking care of Zhao Cunren, Zhao Cunzhi, and Zhao Yan fell to Li Lin and Wang.
When the Zhao family's horse team passed the official road of the dock, the crowd on both sides of the official road let out a loud cheer.
"Denglai military god, Denglai military god." Suddenly, someone shouted such a trumpet, at first a few people shouted sparsely, and then as the other people shouted along with the trumpet, the shouts became louder and louder, more and more uniform.
Of course, the person who took the lead in shouting was specially arranged, and there was no controversy about the content of the shouting.
Zhou Yuan stood in the crowd and listened to the deafening shouts of the Denglai God of War, among perhaps the most fanatical people in the Ming Dynasty, watching the Zhao family's horse team pass in front of him, his blood was also hot.
This is a fanatical group atmosphere, this is in the special base camp of the Zhao family in Shidao, this is to see and hear Zhao Lie's exploits with his own eyes, this is his personal experience of the contest with Jiannu Iron Cavalry, he deeply knows how difficult Zhao Lie's exploits are.
The Zhao family's horse team had already passed, but Zhou Yuan still looked at the place where the Zhao family's horse team had just passed on the opposite side, and his tears couldn't help but flow.
"Daddy, you see this uncle has tears in his eyes, you see." The childish shout of a little girl called Zhou Yuan back from his sluggishness.
He looked up and saw a little girl in his twenties, dressed as a shop man, pointing at him.
Zhou Yuan's old face flushed, and the young man smiled apologetically, and hurriedly hugged the child and walked away, he estimated that Zhou Yuan was also the same as some excited people, Ming people have such habits, seeing this situation, he was afraid that the other party would think he was laughing, so he hurriedly took the child away.
Zhou Yuan wiped a handful of tears, he didn't have the spirit when he came, but staggered back.
When there was no one left and right, he roared, Zhao Lie, you bastard, why did you come so late.
This is what he said in his heart, he didn't want to surrender Jiannu, but he stayed in the rear of Liaodong, unless he didn't want the lives of his family, there was only one way to surrender, he hated it.
Of course, Zhao Lie didn't hear the words of a Jiannu in his heart, he is now reuniting with his family, and he is also relieving his body and mind.
In the past two years, he has been busy and busy, and he has cherished the time with his family.
Ten days later, Zhao Lie and Hong Yihan's Li Ji drove north to Denglai Water City under the escort of two Tang-class warships and six cruisers.
Although it is said that there is no edict to send troops, but after coming back, at least on the surface, it is necessary to report to the governor of Denglai and the town guard of Denglai, which is to give the court a step down, but also to give the Ming officialdom a face, and the two sides have a step down, otherwise the crime of raising soldiers without an edict is not small.
Although Zhao Lie can not care at all, Zhao Lie thinks that if he tears his face with the imperial court at this time, the happiest thing is the peasant army of Jiannu and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and it will be extremely unfavorable to the broken army.
When this fleet was slowly heading north, Zhang Guoyuan was sitting opposite Lu Ping in the back hall of the Denglai Town Guard.
"You have also seen the emperor's will, and the emperor's meaning is very clear, that is, he will not hesitate to use all means to get rid of Zhao Lie, do you know?"
Zhang Guoyuan said in a low voice, his narrow eyes staring at Lu Ping opposite.
Lu Ping's heart was still turning over the river and the sea at this time, he hadn't fully digested the news, it shouldn't be, yes, it was a big sin for Zhao Lie to send troops to North Korea without edict, but it turned out that Zhao Lie was right to do so, otherwise Hanyang, the capital of North Korea, would be besieged, and North Korea would definitely surrender to Jiannu.
However, as soon as Zhao Lie led the Denglai army to Hanyang, North Korea, he immediately defeated the Jiannu army and defended the Korean capital, without letting the Ming lose this subject country, and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
Although Zhao Lie has different aspirations, but at this time he is fighting fiercely with Jiannu in the Dongjiang River and North Korea, and killing Zhao Lie at this time is not the relatives and enemies of the fast, this, this is a faint move.
But can you talk to the Lord of Long Live about it, as long as the Son of Heaven makes a holy decree, there is basically no possibility of turning around this matter, that is, Zhao Lie will die.
"Master Zhang, in the past two years, Zhao Lie and Jiannu have fought in Lushun, Dongjiang, and North Korea one after another, and it is said that they have killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800, 。。。。。 at this time."
Lu Ping looked at Zhang Guoyuan when he said this, and the meaning of his words was obvious, the timing was not right.
"Well," Zhang Guoyuan looked at Lu Ping with sharp eyes, "Lu Ping, don't forget your official status, don't forget that you are the Great Ming Lord, don't forget that our family dropped you here." ”
Lu Ping opened his mouth and didn't make a sound, he bowed down and saluted, "Your subordinates will obey the emperor's orders." ”
He heard his voice hoarse.
Back at his residence, Lu Ping sent everyone away, and he sat in the dim candlelight, thinking for a long time.
Kill Zhao Lie, the broken army may collapse, Dongjiang and Lushun will also collapse, and even the military leaders under Zhao Lie will have a chaotic civil war, and Denglai will once again usher in turmoil.
If you don't kill, who dares to violate the will of the Lord of Long Live will not only lose your own life, but also the survival of the family has become a problem.
Lu Ping fell asleep in a daze. (To be continued.) )
