Chapter 107: Li Chao Meeting
In half an hour, more than ten ministers such as Jin Liu, Jin Shangxian, Li Tinggui, Li Gui, Jin Zidian, Cui Longji, Shen Qin, and Shen Jingshen came to the Xuanzheng Hall one after another.
When Li Yuanyi reported that Jeju was occupied by the Ming people, the Ming fleet was strong, and the artillery was sharp, the palace was silent for a while, which all the ministers did not expect, after all, the Ming envoy had just returned not long ago, and the Korean monarchs and ministers in Seoul were all entertained by the envoys of the upper country, and did not dare to slack off a little, although they did not respond to their request for a flanking attack, but they got along quite happily, how to attack the Ming people.
Li Liang looked at the important ministers under Li Chao, and suddenly found that except for Li Yuanyi, an old minister of the Southern People's Party, the others were all members of the Westerner Party who had the merit of supporting this time, however, Li Liang had already understood that Shilin's so-called formation of a party was just to occupy the court and fight for power and profit. But he understands that the factional struggle will continue, as it has been staged in the previous hundred years, and he will be powerless to do anything about it like the ancestors, but he just hopes that in this time of crisis, such so-called Korean heroes can put aside everything for the time being and work together with the outside world.
"Your Royal Highness, Wechen thought that this time to send troops to Jeju will never be the Ming army, the last Ming envoy sent to our court, Wechen listened to the deputy envoy Wang Mengyin said, Denglai and Fujian Navy warships are not enough, stretched, Denglai is due to the aid of dozens of islands in Liaoxi and Liaodong, Fujian is to fight with Xiyi, pirates, among which Xiyi, pirates are still in trouble," less than forty, the tall and thin Jin Zidian is still very conspicuous in the old man's pile, very elegant, showing the demeanor of Anton's famous men, and talking eloquently after the ceremony. "The Ming Dynasty is now a brutal captive in the north, and there are Xiyi and pirates in the south, so it is absolutely impossible to divide the army into Jeju at this time."
Li Liang bowed slightly, Jin Zidian This person Li Liang has already paid attention, it can be said that he is a cadre, this time Jin Zidian's point of view is reasonable and convincing, but well, this person, well, Li Liang just affirmed Jin Zidian in his heart, but he is also worried about the other side of Jin Zidian, and Jin Zidian has a problem.
"Therefore, the last Ming envoy visited, persuaded me to attack after the Jin, the minister was opposed, the Ming army lost Liaodong, and now struggling to support Liaoxi, and I have broken off the land route, it is not the peak of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming envoy came, the minister found that the two were quite broken, this has never happened, and the internal national strength of the Ming Dynasty is also quite difficult, so the minister ...... "Jin Zidian just said here, was interrupted.
"In this way, you should stoop to serve the slaves and form an alliance with the barbarians, which is also the discipline of the Anton Kim clan." Li Gui shouted loudly, extremely disdainful, and extremely disgusted by Jin Zidian's submission.
"Master Li, this official only said that he should contact Hou Jin, and never said that he should break with him, this ......" Jin did not retreat from the point, and responded, in his opinion, it was extremely stupid to just talk about preaching regardless of national strength.
"That's enough, at this time, what you are discussing is Jeju affairs, and this is the king's Xuanzheng Palace." Li Yuanyi angrily rebuked that the quarrel and division within the Westerner Party are what Li Yuanyi likes to see, and it is because of this that the Nanren Party has a chance, but at present, Jeju is the key, and the two of them are really annoying to lead the Jeju deliberations to the strategy of Ming and Jin Guo for the sake of factional disputes.
Li Liang's face sank like water, the only problem with Jin Zidian was that his words were too direct, Li Liang and a group of ministers also understood that the Ming Dynasty was not as good as in the past, but, after all, the Ming Dynasty and North Korea were subordinate for hundreds of years, and more than 20 years ago just helped North Korea defeat the Japanese Invaders. Li Qi stroked his forehead, "Zhuqing, now that Jeju has fallen and the land has been lost, the widow hopes that you will sincerely unite and go to the national disaster together." ”
Several eager ministers on both sides immediately died down, and after arguing and antagonizing, the king was in a very unhappy mood today.
"The king, the minister thought that the order was given to the Lishui Battalion to inspect the enemy, and there were indeed dozens of Xiyi warships, and this matter was important." Wu Yunqian said this, paused, all the ministers in the palace understood his words, lying about military information is not uncommon in North Korea, Li Qian nodded, indicating that he understood and agreed. "In addition, immediately send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to inquire whether it was the Ming army or a certain Ming general who sent troops privately. Then we can make a decision. "If you can't figure out whether it's the Ming army or the Ming general, it's useless to say more.
"What Wu Qing said is indeed the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country." Li Liang bowed, "In this way, where is Kim Sang-heon." ”
"Your Highness, the minister is here." Kim Sang-hun came out in response. His elder brother Jin Shangrong looked at his younger brother worriedly, in his opinion, his younger brother Shangxian has an upright personality, and he is easy to break.
"The widow ordered you to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to meet the Great Tomorrow, one is to come here as a Ming envoy to pay homage, and the other is to report the matter of Jeju to the Great Tomorrow, and I hope that the Great Tomorrow will investigate in detail." Li Liang ordered that as the Ming forces invaded Jeju to tell the Great Tomorrow that this is a must, and it is also the consciousness that a Ming subject country should have. At the same time, it is also to find out the handling of this matter by the Ming court and the Son of Heaven.
"Wechen obeys." Kim Sang-heon took the order. Jin Shangxian has always had a good impression of Daming, and this time he went to Ming to get what he wanted, and he could see the scenery of Daming with his own eyes, which was really happy.
"Where is Li Tinggui?" Li Qi asked.
"King, Weichen is here." Judge Li Tinggui stepped forward to see.
"Li Tinggui, you urgently ordered the Lishui Navy Division to control the envoys, find out the details of the enemy's base, military strength, ships, and not prevaricate." Li Qi said sternly.
"Wechen obeys." Li Tinggui wiped his sweat, and just then said that he had made a false report of the military situation, and Li Tinggui, who was a judge of the military Cao, broke out in a cold sweat, but he would never guarantee such a vulgar martial artist, after all, false reporting of the military situation is a common occurrence for such noble children. This time, the king pointed out this, and his tone was stern, and Li Tinggui did not dare to ignore it.
"The king, Wechen thinks that he immediately ordered all the sailors and battalions to prepare for battle, and ordered the five military camps, Jeolla Province, and Gyeongsang Province to prepare for battle." Li Yuanyi bowed down and said.
What Li Lingzheng said was extremely true, "Li Liang praised, worthy of being a famous minister who made great contributions repeatedly during the Imjin War, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, checked and filled in the gaps, Jeju had to send troops to recover in the end, and the whole army was being fought at that time, but it was a pity that such a famous minister was dying."
When the Korean monarchs and ministers chattered about Jeju affairs in Changdeok Palace, the Dongjiang military households on the Seomi Island dozens of miles southeast of the Tieshan Peninsula found that more than ten sea ships were moored in the north port of the island, only to see the sea ships unloading items on the simple trestle bridge, busy, if the military households are willing to help, they can get two liters of rice a day, which is already a familiar road, this summer, there is a Shandong businessman in the port of Shenmi Island to build a simple trestle bridge, at that time it was hired manpower, after some military households joined in doubtfully, I found that the people from Shandong were quite trustworthy, and the daily grain was distributed on time, so the men of more than 200 military households on the island came here to help, and they also had rice grain. After all, most of the Dongjiang military households are the serfs of the generals of the Dongjiang River, and the annual harvest Dongjiang takes more than 60%, and the remaining grain is not enough to eat for a year. In today's Liaodong, it is good not to starve to death, and many people on the islands of the Dongjiang River have to starve to death and freeze to death every year.
In the cold wind of late autumn in Liaodong, Zhao Guang wrapped his tattered robe and returned to the dock with his neighbor's Huang Haizi again.
"Haizi, why didn't your father come?" Zhao Guang asked.
"Brother Guang, my father went to the mountains to hunt yesterday, and I came well. What about Uncle Zhao. Huang Haizi gasped and replied, after all, as a thin boy who was only thirteen years old, it was a heavy physical work to send a bag of miscellaneous grains of fifty catties and a bag of grains to the warehouse. However, this work is too long to pass and there is no such shop in this village. Winter is about to begin, and at this time, one more ration is one more hope of survival, and Huang Haizi, as the eldest in the family, has no choice but to come out to work.
"My father is on duty today and can't leave. Haizi, I won't be able to walk for a while, put your bag on my bag, and I'll give you half a way to resist. Zhao Guang looked at Haizi's thin body and said.
"Brother Guang, no, I can still do it." Haizi gritted his teeth, one or two trips were enough, and seeing that the rice stacks on the dock were like hills, he really couldn't open his mouth.
"Don't say it, just do it." Zhao Guang understood Haizi's thoughts, but Zhao Guang didn't think that Haizi could afford it.
"Well, Brother Guang, I'll listen to you." Haizi was moved with tears in her eyes. Zhao Guang's family has always taken care of Haizi's family, after all, the Zhao family has three sons, a girl, and the eldest Zhao Guang is already eighteen, and Haizi's family only has a father and son.
Zhao Guang helped Hai Zi carry six or seven trips, and he was tired enough, after all, one or two trips is easy to say, this is a continuous cycle of work, but fortunately, Hai Zi's father came to the dock after hearing the news and finally took over this tiring work.
At the same time, Luo Dong and some people also supervised the construction of the trestle bridge in the twenty-mile bay of Tieshan Mountain, which was the old place used by Gu Wuyue to transport goods and people, in the northeast of the Tieshan Peninsula, Gu Wuyue had already built a trestle bridge here under the greeting of Lu Mingde, where it stretched out less than two hundred meters into the West Korean Bay to dock large sea ships, however, there was only one trestle, Gu Wuyue thought that he could not complete the rush plan arranged by the adult, so in this agricultural leisure moment, he hired some military households, and then built two trestle bridges here. Luo Dong has been supervising the work here for a month.
Well, there is still half a month to complete the work, and you can give orders to the adults. Luo Dong estimated the progress today, after all, the harsh winter in Liaodong is coming, if it is the first snow, there is no need to think about what to do in the cold.
PS The holiday is coming to an end, I wish you all a happy and smooth work and life.
