Chapter 1375: Coercion and Temptation (First Update)

(Today is the festival of female compatriots, I don't know if there are female readers in this book, or the third watch to express my wishes.) )

"Lord Kim!" Pu Liang was soon taken to Jin Zongrui's study, and when he saw Jin Zongrui, he smiled and saluted.

"Pu Liang, did you do the things in the official's family?" After Jin Zongrui waved away the subordinates in the room, he glared at Pu Liang with a cold expression and asked.

"Lord Jin, the eldest prince and his family members have been invited by the lower officials to be guests, you don't need to worry about them, as long as they pass tonight, they will come back safe and sound." Pu Liang did not do otherwise, there was no need to hide it at this time, he smiled slightly and replied after bowing to Jin Zongrui.

"Tonight!" Jin Zongrui was slightly stunned at first when he heard this, and then his face changed greatly, how could he not understand Pu Liang's subtext, it seems that Pu Liang chose to attack Li Yuntian tonight.

In Jin Zongrui's view, the Seoul Office of Jiangwutang was heavily guarded, and the walls of the buildings were tall and thick, so if Pu Liang wanted to break in, he would be asking for his own death.

"Lord Jin, you are the minister of the humerus that the previous king relied on, His Royal Highness also attaches great importance to the lord, the future of the society of North Korea is tonight, the lord should stand up, support the society, and save North Korea from being annexed by the Ming Dynasty." Pu Liang's face turned pale and said seriously.

"Is this the intention of His Highness or your idea?" Hearing that Pu Liang mentioned Li Xuan, Jin Zongrui's complexion couldn't help but change slightly, and he asked quietly.

"It doesn't matter who it means now." Hearing this, Pu Liang shook his head and looked at Jin Zongrui solemnly, "Lord Jin, the top priority is to prevent the Ming Dynasty from annexing North Korea, Lord Jin is the minister of the humerus of North Korea, the mainstay of the army, and it is incumbent on him to encircle North Korea!" ”

Jin Zongrui's brows furrowed slightly, and Pu Liang's answer did not solve the doubt in his heart, so that he did not know whose decision was made against Li Yuntian tonight.

Since the inner guard is the imperial guard of the king of Joseon, he suspects that this matter is related to Li Xuan, Li Xuan obviously does not want Korea to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, in that case, he will become the king of the dead country, how to be worthy of the ancestors' Jiangshan Sheji?

"Now that the edict of the Ming Emperor is on the way, it is unknown whether the Ming Dynasty will accept North Korea, if you act rashly, it will be a big deal." After weighing left and right, Jin Zongrui looked at Pu Liang quietly.

As the commander of the North Korean army confronting the Ming army in the north of Korea, Kim Jong-seo was very aware of the strength of the Ming army's combat effectiveness, so he did not want to intervene in this matter when the situation was unclear.

As Chen Sangongzi said, now that Jin Zongrui's family has a great cause, and he has also passed the age of youth and frivolity, the Ming army now occupies an overwhelming advantage in Korea, so it is not wise to go to attack Li Yuntian, the supreme commander of the Ming army.

Jin Zongrui has been an official for many years, and his life experience is naturally extremely rich, and it is a big deal to sneak attack on the Hancheng Division of the Wutang Martial Arts, even if Li Xuan does not summon him in private to give him a face-to-face lecture, then he must definitely give him an edict to let him act, and it is impossible to let him go to Li Yuntian without giving him anything.

Therefore, after some calculations in his heart, Jin Zongrui believed that the behavior of Park Liang and others was a private act, and he did not get Li Zhang's consent, so he naturally could not do what Park Liang asked, which would bring disaster to Li Liang and North Korea.

If Li Xuan personally issued an edict to Jin Zongrui, then Jin Zongrui would probably choose to be loyal to the Korean royal family, and in order to protect Korea from being annexed by the Ming Dynasty, he assisted Pu Liang in attacking the Hancheng Office of Jiangwutang.

It's a pity that Pu Liang doesn't have Li Xuan's edict, which makes him unable to control a senior minister like Jin Zongrui, who must act according to his own wishes.

"Lord Jin, now that the loyal prince of the Ming Dynasty has been in Seoul for two years, if the Ming Dynasty does not want to annex North Korea, why would he let such an important figure stay in North Korea for so long?"

Pu Liang naturally heard the shirking in Jin Zongrui's words, so he looked at him with a serious expression and said, "Lord Jin, His Royal Highness was forced by Prince Zhong to annex Korea into the Ming Dynasty, and the edict of the Ming Emperor will definitely agree to this matter, do you want to sit back and watch this happen?" ”

"Deputy Lieutenant Park, the annexation of North Korea to the Ming Dynasty is a major matter of the country, and it is not something you and I can criticize." Seeing that Pu Liang's attitude was more stubborn, Jin Zongrui couldn't help but secretly feel a headache, and said quietly.

"Lord Kim's words are wrong, now His Royal Highness is being coerced by Prince Zhong and is grounded in Gyeongbokgung Palace, North Korea is in danger, you and I, as the people of North Korea, should solve problems for His Royal Highness, how can we turn a blind eye?" Pu Liang shook his head when he heard this, and said to Jin Zongrui.

"Deputy Lieutenant Park, have you thought about it, even if you can rush into the secretary office of the Ming Lecture Hall and catch Prince Zhong, then how to deal with the aftermath next? If Prince Zhong unfortunately dies in this war, how can we calm the anger of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Jin Zongrui hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Pu Liang solemnly, Pu Liang was still too young to know the power of this matter, once the news of Li Yuntian's attack reached the capital of Daming, Daming would definitely send a large army to conquer, and then the Korean country would suffer a war with a huge disparity in strength, and it would definitely be defeated.

"Lord Jin, you are too cautious, how strong the Tang Dynasty was back then, its Emperor Taizong failed to conquer Goguryeo, and finally returned home, now North Korea has three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, its strength is much stronger than Goguryeo, and it is not so simple for the Ming Dynasty to annex our North Korea!"

Hearing this, Pu Liang immediately sneered, and said to Jin Zongrui with a proud face, "If the Ming Dynasty makes a big attack, then we can use the terrain of North Korea to defeat it, and let them know that our North Korea is not easy to bully!" ”

Jin Zongrui couldn't help but shake his head secretly, Pu Liang thought about the current situation too simply, Daming was not the Tang Dynasty back then, if it came to the area under actual control, after Li Yuntian's conquest over the years, its territory had already surpassed that of Datang, and its military strength was not comparable to Datang.

Most importantly, the Ming had the most powerful sailors in the world, which gave the Ming the ability to attack Korea from the sea.

In fact, since Li Yuntian came to Korea, Incheon Port has been built into a huge military port in two years, once the Ming Dynasty and Korea go to war, Incheon Port will be a stepping stone for the Ming army to land in Korea, so that the Ming army can smoothly control the Korean royal city, and divide the Korean army from the north and south into two.

In addition to the port of Incheon, the Ming army also built several important ports along the Korean coastline to facilitate the reception of goods, which enabled the Ming sailors to transport troops to Korea as soon as possible.

Therefore, Jin Zongrui thinks that it is very unwise for Pu Liang to regard the Ming Dynasty as the Tang Dynasty of the year, if you have to say it, then both were powerful and powerful powers in the world at that time, and today, with the development of shipping, the combat capability of the Ming Navy Division is far from being comparable to the Tang Dynasty, and it will give North Korea a fatal blow.

"Deputy Lieutenant Park, unless there is an edict from His Royal Highness, this official will never get involved in your affairs." Jin Zongrui knew that it would be difficult for him to convince Park Liang, so he frowned and expressed his attitude.

"Lord Kim, for the sake of the future of North Korea, the next official can only be offended." Pu Liang also knew that he couldn't change Jin Zongrui's decision, so he bowed to Jin Zongrui and said with a serious expression, "If you offend, look at Lord Haihan." ”

"Someone, please leave." As he spoke, Pu Liang shouted in a deep voice to the entourage standing outside the door.

Hearing this, the entourage immediately entered the room and ran towards Jin Zongrui with fierce eyes, and the other entourages controlled the servants of the Jin Mansion standing outside the courtyard to prevent them from leaking the news.

"Do you want to kidnap this official?" Seeing this, Jin Zongrui immediately sneered, pulled out the sword hanging on the wall on the side, and looked at Pu Liang with a cold expression, he would not be arrested, and as long as he shouted at the top of his voice, Pu Liang's matter would be publicized.

"Lord Jin, the lower official just wants to ask the adult to help the lower official do something, as long as the matter is over, the adult can meet the eldest prince's family." Pu Liang raised his hand and stopped the fierce subordinates from approaching Jin Zongrui, and then explained quietly.

"What do you want?" Hearing Pu Liang mention the "eldest son's family", Jin Zongrui's face suddenly changed, how could he not hear the threat in Pu Liang's words.

"Xia Guan just hopes that the adults can help in the next small favor." Hearing this, Pu Liang smiled slightly, and said lightly, "

"What's the busy?" Jin Zongrui frowned and looked at Pu Liang coldly, wondering what he was planning.

"Lord Jin, a large part of the new army in the city comes from the six towns in the northeast formed by the adults, if the adults can go to the military camp in person, I believe they will definitely follow the eyes of the adults." Pu Liang felt that Jin Zongrui's tone had loosened, so he said with a smile, pointing out his intention this time.

"Do you want the official to encourage the soldiers to follow you in rebellion?" Jin Zongrui had already guessed Pu Liang's intentions, stared at him coldly and said, "Do you know that the new Korean army in Seoul is all integrated by the Ming army of Jiangwutang, wouldn't it be a fool's dream for you to let them attack the office of Jiangwutang!" ”

Although Kim Jong-seo was reluctant to admit it, in fact, all the grass-roots military attaches of the Korean New Army were trained and promoted by the Ming army who had taught martial arts, and almost all of the middle-level military attaches were pro-Ming factions, and only the high-level military attaches were former generals.

Therefore, the Korean New Army in Seoul was actually in the hands of those military attachés of the Ming Army, and even Kim Jong-seo could not let the soldiers of the Korean New Army attack the Seoul Division.

Park Liang knew that the military attache corps of the Ming army occupied a pivotal position in the new Korean army, but he did not know that the military attache corps of the Ming army was the de facto ruler in the new Korean army.

This was not because the Ming Army's military attache corps in the Korean New Army deliberately seized power, but mainly because the senior generals of the Korean New Army were relatively old, so it was difficult for them to adapt to the training and tactical arrangements of the Korean New Army.

To take the simplest example, the military map of the Korean New Army adopts the same standard as that of the Ming Army, which makes it difficult for the senior generals of the Korean New Army to understand the meaning of the lines and numbers on it, and naturally there is no way to understand the topography and landform of the battlefield.

Therefore, in the Korean New Army, the military attache corps of the Ming Army was nominally the staff officers of the senior generals of the Korean New Army, but in fact held the power of the Korean New Army.

The senior generals of the Korean New Army were unable to adapt to the new changes in the Korean New Army, so they had to rely on the instructors of the Ming Army's military attache regiment to give orders.

Therefore, even if Jin Zongrui personally went to the barracks of the Korean New Army, he could not let those soldiers of the New Army use force against the Seoul Division of the Ming Dynasty!
