"The Praetorian Guard is an officer?"

Pang Gang took the big seal and looked at it over and over for a while, and asked with some curiosity: "Pu Pu Shunyi, who is engaged in the internal guard, is a high-ranking official, what does he do?" ”

Pang Gang thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to call Park Shunyi's official, so he finally had to call him by his name.

When Park Shunyi on the side heard this, he also said with embarrassment: "Back to the general's words, the villain is the sixth product, serving my king's side, and full-time my king's safety work." ”

"Damn, it's a security guard, and he's a low-level security guard." Pang Gang pursed his lips, returned the big seal in his hand to him, and then asked, "What about this young lady?" Who is she? ”

When Park Shunyi heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and said proudly: "This is the biological daughter of our Royal Highness, and she is also the "Princess Jiayi" Li Xuezhu who has been canonized by our lord. ”

"Oh, still a princess." Pang Gang asked quietly: "Then why are you still fighting with people on the street?" ”

When Park Shunyi and Li Xuezhu heard this, their faces changed several times in an instant, but Pang Gang's words were **naked slap in the face. This guy is obviously asking, one of you is a princess of North Korea and the other is a six-grade official of North Korea, why are you still fighting in public like a splash of land grabbing on the street?

"You" "Princess Jiayi" Li Xuezhu's originally red face turned even redder, and her big eyes glared at Pang Gang, as if she wanted to stare this hateful guy to death.

After Park Shunyi's face changed, he bowed down again, and said in a trembling voice: "Park Shunyi, the courtier of the lower country, implores His Excellency General Dingyuan to be the master of the lower country!" ”

"Come on, get up, what are you doing?" Pang Gang was the most annoying and knelt down at him at every turn, "Don't come here without moving, if you have something to say, you just say it, I don't like this thing." ”

"Yes, obey the orders of the general!" Park Shunyi stood up, took out a silk cloth full of words from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Pang Gang.

Pang Gang took it curiously and took a look, it turned out to be a distress letter written by the current king of North Korea, Inzu Li Liang, to the emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

It turned out that this was a letter asking for help from the current 16th king of Joseon, Li Liang, and at this point I have to talk about the Manchu Qing attack on Korea in 1627. In the second year of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji and Bel Amin personally led the troops to invade Korea, known as the Ding Mao Rebellion, the Korean army was defeated by the Qing soldiers, Renzu Li Liang and the ministers fled to Ganghwa Island, as a result, Korea and the Qing Dynasty negotiated peace, about a brotherly state, Korea and the Qing Dynasty paid tribute.

Here I have to talk about the attitude of North Korea towards China in ancient times, Korea has been a vassal state of China since ancient times, and their etiquette, values, morals and even writing are almost all derived from China, so their attitude towards China since ancient times has been very respectful for most of the time.

In the Later Jin period, in order to avoid a two-sided war, Nurhachi adopted a policy of wooing Korea, and sent envoys to Korea many times to submit letters, hoping that Korea would break off relations with the Ming Dynasty and form an alliance with the Later Jin. But North Korea was unmoved and still supported the Ming Dynasty and opposed the Later Jin.

Therefore, although North Korea was forced to pay tribute to the Qing state, the vast majority of North Korean officials, including Injo Ri Liang, were still unable to buy the Qing state's account. The attitude of the DPRK finally annoyed Huang Taiji. In this year, that is, in June of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji finally lost his patience and sent envoys to Ganghwa Island in North Korea to order North Korea to pay tribute to the Qing State. When the DPRK heard the news, there was an uproar, and the feelings of hatred and humiliation that had accumulated for nearly 10 years burst out. The Korean ministers made bitter statements one after another, "Let them know that our country is upheld and must not do anything that is disorderly." Although the country is killed, it can be resigned to the world and future generations." In an impassioned atmosphere, Injo refused to meet with the Qing delegation and did not accept his letter. The Qing delegation left Seoul angrily, and along the way, the people "blocked the road, and the naughty children threw rubble to humiliate them"

The bullied Qing delegation reported all this to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji naturally stopped doing it, Nima's, Lao Tzu suffered a loss in the Ming Kingdom this year, and now even you dare to humiliate me with a little North Korea, it is really unbearable for uncles and aunts, so Huang Taiji sent Bel Amin to personally lead an army of 50,000 to conquer North Korea, and it took only 12 days to hit the royal capital. In desperation, Li Liang only moved his family to Ganghwa Island, retreated to the mountain city of Nanhan, and sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty for urgent help, and among these envoys was Li Kun's daughter "Princess Jiayi" Li Xuezhu.

Pang Gang couldn't help but be silent after reading the letter, although he didn't have a good impression of the "first power in the universe" that the earth could not stop them in the future, but in this era, North Korea was indeed still interested in China, and it was only because the Ming Dynasty at this time was too uncompromising and pushed the vassal state that was originally loyal to him to the opposite side.

Returning the letter asking for help to Park Shunyi, Pang Gang asked again: "Since you have come to Daming, why don't you ask the government for help, but fight with those ruffians and hooligans on the street?" ”

After Pang Gang asked, Li Xuezhu, the "Princess Jiayi" who was disguised as a man, immediately said angrily: "What do you still say, as soon as we arrived in Dengzhou, we asked to meet your Dengzhou prefect and asked him to explain this matter to your court. But he didn't want to think about it, we are not a tributary mission, how can we bring so much gold, silver and jewelry, we stayed for nearly a month, and gave him almost all the property we carried, but he was still not satisfied, and used nonsense such as what the court was still negotiating to fool us, these days we really couldn't help it, and planned to go to Jinan, but he wanted to detain us stiffly, fortunately we ran out of the post station smartly. You've seen what happened next. ”

Pang Gang understood as soon as he heard it, it turned out that this Governor Lu also knew that the current Ming Dynasty had long been unable to aid North Korea, so he started the idea of plucking the feathers of the geese, and after defrauding their belongings, he saw that people wanted to go to Jinan, for fear that their cheating would be exposed, so he thought that he would arrest these people if he didn't do anything, but this kind of thing was not good for the government to come forward in person, so he sent some gangsters to take the lead. It's just that his luck was too bad, and he just ran into Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed halfway.

"Would you like to help them?" Pang Gang pondered in his heart, it is said that North Korea is very important to Huaxia, if Huang Taiji gets North Korea, his strength will rise sharply because of this, not to mention, Huang Taiji, who has no worries, will definitely attack the Ming Dynasty more boldly, so he should pull North Korea at this time.

But Pang Gang also knows very well that even if this letter for help is sent to Chongzhen, it will be in vain, and the current Ming Dynasty has no energy to aid North Korea.

"Is it just watching North Korea being annexed by the Manchus like this?" Pang Gang couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Seeing the deep groan on Pang Gang's face, Li Xuezhu and Park Shunyi, who were standing on the side, were also very nervous in their hearts, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.

Liang Jiu Pang said slowly just now: "In my opinion, it is useless for you to send this letter to the capital now, because now the Ming Dynasty has no way to support you in North Korea." ”

The faces of the two who were staring at Pang Gang suddenly darkened, Li Xuezhu was a woman after all, and the tears that she had been holding back finally couldn't help but flow out, she cried and said: "Why, North Korea has always treated the country like a father and mother, and now that North Korea is in trouble, why don't you reach out and pull it up, why is this?" ”

"This"

Hearing this, Pang Gang couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face, he couldn't say, "Now that the Ming Dynasty has been pressed and beaten by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how can I have the leisure to take care of you, even if I have this ability, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including the emperor, will not agree." ”

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, Li Xuezhu stepped forward and said to Pang Gang: "General, what about you, aren't you a general guarding the three states of Shandong?" You have soldiers in your hands, so you can help us. ”

"Me?" Pang Gang smiled bitterly when he heard this, although he now has thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, but Shandong and North Korea are separated by a sea, even if he has the heart to rescue, he can't swim over, right? There's no boat

"By the way, I now have tungsten ore, and I can exchange it for a sea boat!"

Thinking of the ship, Pang Gang's eyes couldn't help but light up, yes, now that he has discovered tungsten ore, it's time to develop his own navy, as long as he gives himself a few months to dig out enough tungsten ore, he can cash out enough sea ships.

Li Xuezhu, who was carefully observing Pang Gang, was overjoyed when she saw Pang Gang's face, could this General Pang really have a way to rescue his motherland? Growing up in the emperor's house, although she may not be clear about some things that ordinary people are familiar with, but the ability to observe words and emotions has been cultivated since childhood, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward and knelt in front of Pang Gang and choked up: "General Pang, I know you will definitely have a way, you are the general of the Ming Kingdom, you will definitely be able to save us, right?" ”

"General!" Pang Gang couldn't help wiping a cold sweat when he heard this title, he was still far from the position of the general, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court set the national policy of unifying the military with literature, the Ming Dynasty did not have the title of general, even if there was a few people such as Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, and Lan Yu in the founding period of the country, they could enjoy the honorific title.

"I don't know if I can save you, but even if I want to rescue you, it will be a few months later, and now the official still has to deal with some things, and I will discuss these things with you after the official has dealt with some things in the past two days!" As Pang Gang spoke, a fierce look shot out of his eyes
