Chapter 540: The Pro-Ming Faction Takes Power
Kim Sang-heon suppressed the excitement in his heart, thought about it with a somewhat sluggish mind, and felt that some conditions still had to be talked about. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lord Zhao, the first condition, I think my king can agree, but the second condition, alas, don't hide it from Lord Zhao, the ghostly beast-like Hulu has caused the disaster of North Korea, and now hundreds of thousands of people have been taken away in the north, and millions of people have become refugees, all of which need money and food to make up."
Kim Sang-hun shed a few old tears when he said this, which can be regarded as a true expression of feelings, the current situation in North Korea is indeed a little worse.
"I'm afraid that the king really can't take out these money, and it will be difficult to repay it in installments."
"It's not a problem, there is a shortage of money, and young women can make up for it." Zhao Lie said it lightly.
Jin Shangxian was immediately surprised, he stared at Zhao Lie with wide eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised, he hadn't experienced this, he and Zhao Lie were both ministers in their respective countries, and he was not wrong when he said that he was taking a woman to pay the account, or he had a hearing problem in his old age.
"I am dissatisfied with Lord Kim and said that there are more men and fewer women under the rule of this general, which is a headache for this general, so it is indispensable for North Korea to use women as **** expenses."
Zhao Lie also made it clear that it's okay not to give money to people.
Oh, Kim Sang-hun understood as soon as he heard it, don't talk about this, this is a method, but this thing can't be said, if it leaks out, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar in the government and the opposition.
"This third point, I'm afraid my king can't agree to it, I'm afraid that the pro-Ming faction is lonely in the court, and my king is afraid that he can't allow it."
Jin Shangxian understands Li Liang's thoughts very well, and is extremely alienated from the pro-Ming faction Li Liang.
"This is not due to the king of your family, from this time on, it is not that the pro-Ming faction cannot become a councilor, otherwise it will face the thunderous wrath of the Ming Dynasty." Zhao Lie waved his hand domineeringly.
If Li Liang wants to be a snake and a rat, Zhao Lie doesn't mind letting him end up like Tokugawa Iemitsu, Hanyang is the same ending as Edo Castle, and it is really not difficult for the Broken Army to do.
"Tell your lord that the army entered Edo and forced the Tokugawa family to surrender to my Denglai army, hum, I think the military strength of the Korean country is not as strong as the military strength of the Tokugawa family of the Japanese country."
Zhao Lie threw out a bombshell, this time Hui Ming estimated that he would have a showdown with the court for the matter of raising troops without edicts, and Zhao Lie also dug a pit for Jiannu in his heart, just to take advantage of this situation to make his relationship with the Son of Heaven worse.
It was Zhao Lie's plan to tell the story of the Eastern Expedition to the Japanese Kingdom and the aid to Korea, so that the imperial court and the Son of Heaven hated the Broken Army even more.
"So it's true that the Wa Kingdom was defeated by the Ming people, and that is what Lord Zhao led the army to do." This news of Lei is not light.
Joseon and the Wa Kingdom have severed all contact since the Imjin War, and of course the smuggling transactions of the merchants below are counted separately.
In recent years, although some contacts have resumed, they have all been transmitted through the Ma clan as an intermediary, so the news of the Wa Kingdom obtained in Korea was relayed by the Zong clan or by some Korean merchants who came to the Wa Kingdom for maritime trade.
Tokugawa Iemitsu and the Wa Kingdom suffered such a big loss from the Ming army, and they couldn't hide it, but it was unimaginable to say it all and make the Koreans laugh at the strong man of the year.
Therefore, the meaning of Zong's words is unknown, and it is roughly said that there was a Ming army that invaded the Wa Kingdom, but was repelled by the Japanese general Tokugawa Iemitsu.
However, there were still Korean merchants who found out the true news through the Japanese merchants of the Ma Domain, and tens of thousands of Ming troops invaded the Japanese country, besieged Edo, and defeated the Japanese reinforcements several times, turning the Japanese country upside down, bleeding like a river, and suffering heavy casualties.
In the end, the Wa Kingdom was forced to pay reparations to let the Ming people withdraw from the army, of course, the specific amount of compensation is God knows.
From the point of view of the Korean monarchs and ministers, the number is indispensable, otherwise why let the victorious Ming retreat, this is the least common sense, if the Korean army has an advantage in the Japanese country, it is impossible to make the Korean army withdraw without a million taels of silver.
Of course, even if they open their brains, they can't imagine the astronomical amount of tens of millions of silver, and they can't imagine this huge amount of compensation, which is unimaginable, for North Korea, where the population is relatively thin, the acres of land are few, and the business is not too prosperous, needless to say, tens of millions of taels of silver, even millions of silver are massive numbers.
However, these are not the so-called official news, and all these things together make the original face of the matter extremely vague and make things even more confusing.
But Zhao Lie's words confirmed the news, which made Jin Shangxian a little dizzy, but he had to digest it well.
"Well, Lord Zhao, it's not that the official can't believe it, it's just that the 10,000 people under your command are afraid that they won't be able to attack the Japanese Kingdom."
Jin Shangxian doubted, in his opinion, Zhao Lie is only nearly 10,000 soldiers, although he is very strong, all of them are elite soldiers, but to besiege Edo and defeat the reinforcements, it is not enough to see, the North Korean talent is well aware of the combat power of the Japanese people, which can be described as extremely strong.
"This time the aid to North Korea is only a small half of the Denglai army, this time you will know when the envoys sent to Denglai arrive, if the king of Korea waits for our army to leave, and does not keep his promise, the next time is tens of thousands of troops besieged the city."
Zhao Lie's words are not intimidation, in order to prevent North Korea from falling to Jiannu, the broken army must not hesitate to let the scene of the Japanese State be repeated here, as for the money and food spent, let North Korea pay for it, Zhao Lie is now tasting the sweetness of letting the defeated pay, there are many benefits, so that Zhao Lie really can't stop.
Is there anything more refreshing than defeating a strong opponent and making the enemy bow his head and give in, and have to pay a huge amount of compensation, and bow his head to the subordinate?
Zhao Lie even felt that the so-called Broken Capture Army was simply fighting with the Japanese army of later generations, and they invaded everywhere, and they had to make the defeated country pay.
"In this way, after returning home, the official will try his best to persuade the king to agree to the conditions of the lord, and send an envoy to the capital as soon as possible to pay homage to the Son of Heaven."
Jin Shangxian gritted his teeth, no matter whether others believe it or not, he, a hardcore pro-Ming faction, believes it, and can only believe it, and now the rise and fall of the pro-Ming faction is in Zhao Lie and the broken army.
"Lord Jin don't have to be embarrassed, I have here a letter of surrender written by Tokugawa Iemitsu, the general of the Japanese Kingdom, and hundreds of captured Japanese people, Lord Jin will bring it back with you to let the king of your family have a look."
Zhao Lie commanded.
This time, in order to intimidate the Koreans, Zhao Lie brought these war weapons of the Japanese State to North Korea, and has been waiting on a merchant ship at sea.
When Kim Sang-hun returned to Changdeok Palace with these items, the Korean monarchs and ministers were speechless for a while, especially Tokugawa Iemitsu, in order to show the sincerity of the Japanese state and Korea, once wrote a letter in his own hand, and handed it to Li Yu through the transfer of Ma Fan Zong Yoshisei, when the two letters were compared, it was determined that the letter of surrender brought back by Kim Sang-hun was indeed written by Tokugawa Iemitsu himself, the Korean monarchs and ministers were immediately shocked, and they all put away their careful thoughts.
They didn't expect that Daming Denglai Town was so powerful, it could really be used to subjugate a country with a town, compared to the Japanese State, no matter how thick the North Koreans were, they could not think that the strength of North Korea could fight with the Japanese State, North Korea would definitely die without the assistance of the Ming Dynasty, and the strength of the two was too far apart.
The strong and arrogant state also surrendered to Zhao Lie's Denglai army under the iron hooves, and the Koreans agreed to these conditions are trivial matters, which makes the Korean monarchs and ministers weirdly achieve a balance in their hearts.
Just as the Joseon monarch was about to agree to these terms, Yoon Lim Kyungye, the governor of Uiju who guarded the fortress of Baekba, arrived in Hanyang with more than 2,000 troops.
Lin Qingye was stationed in the White Horse Mountain City so that the Hulu army could not enter, he was a resolute anti-slave faction, but this person did not have a very good impression of the Ming Dynasty, and always thought that the Ming Dynasty regarded himself as a **** country, and he was too disrespectful to North Korea.
This time, Lin Qingye commanded the army and went south with the undefeated strong army of Jiannu, which can be described as full of confidence.
Back in Hanyang, his subordinates were blocked by the broken army and could only camp outside the city, which made Lin Qingye very unhappy, and heard about the various conditions put forward by Zhao Lie, his temper was very bad, and Lin Qingye, who did not know how to compromise, was furious, and he said that he used his elite soldiers to defeat the Ming army and expel Zhao Lie's department.
Someone within the Korean court immediately began to think carefully, and it dragged on for two days.
But the Korean court is like the Ming court, and Zhao Lie immediately knew the role of Lin Qingye in it, which was worth it.
Zhao Lie didn't say a word and sent two battalions of soldiers, directly about Lin Qingye, and did not bully him, but used two thousand teams of soldiers to fight a decisive battle with his command, and they were defeated, and the Ming army retreated to Denglai.
Lin Qingye, who has always been above the top, responded with confidence, in his heart, can you compare the Ming army with the Jiannu army, he made the Jiannu army deflated in Baima Mountain City.
But he forgot that he relied on the White Horse Mountain City to repel the Jiannu army, not defeat the enemy in the field.
As soon as the two armies faced each other, the Broken Army used marching artillery to defeat the formation of Lin Qingye's army, but if they couldn't fight back, they were as strong as Jiannu and had to collapse, not to mention the North Korean border army, when the North Korean army was scattered, Zhao Lie's two hundred guards belonging to Qianzong took advantage of the chaos to ride horses and rush into battle, Lin Qingye's army was defeated, and the soldiers of the Broken Army only needed to cover and kill in the back.
In this way, in front of Li Liang, Lin Qingye staged a big rout, and even he himself was captured by the Broken Army.
Next, who is not convinced, the most unconvinced are all defeated and captured, so let's accept them.
After watching this duel, the Korean monarchs and ministers were completely dead, as long as they were not fools, they knew that the Korean army had no chance of victory in front of this Ming army, and with the combat strength of this Ming army, it was not vain to defeat the Japanese people.
At this time, Zhao Lie's conditions were agreed one by one, and he also promised to expel the pro-Qing faction from the court, of course, Zhao Lie also promised Li Liang a condition, that is, if the Qing army entered the Kou, it was necessary to send reinforcements to guard Hanyang and keep the royal city and royal family of Korea.
For Zhao Lie, there is no problem, as long as it is not a field battle with Jiannu, it is really easy and pleasant to do this. (To be continued.) )
