Chapter 531: No need to pay it back

Zhao Lie saw this scene very innocently spread his hands, he really had nothing to do with him, he didn't carry this pot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, Li Shengqiu didn't stop there, but in the past few days, Hu Lu has invaded, but all the important military affairs have entered his hands first, the matter is extremely complicated, and he is frightened, his body is extremely tired, and he was ridiculed and ridiculed by Zhao Lie, so he had to faint first.

Li Liang immediately ordered someone to carry Li Shengqiu down to rest, at this time he couldn't take care of this soldier Cao's judgment, and after the chaos, Jin Liu, the leader of the council, asked first,

"General Zhao, Hu Lu's troops are now pointing directly at Hanyang, you see how our North Korea retreats from the enemy now."

Of course, Jin Liu would not be as reckless as Li Shengqiu, but he still kicked the ball over, you see you said that Li Shengqiu is extremely incompetent, so what is your suggestion.

"Hu Lu is all cavalry elite soldiers, the marching speed is extremely fast, such a cavalry army is absolutely invincible, and the city must be defended, as long as Hanyang is defended, Hu Lu will gain nothing, and will retreat from Korea."

The other Korean monarchs and ministers were expressionless, and of course they knew what Zhao Lie said, but it was not easy to do it.

"If you say that you don't get anything, then it depends on what you want to get,"

Zhao Lie ignored the hesitation of these North Koreans, and continued,

"Of course, Hu Lu wants to capture Hanyang, hold the king of North Korea hostage, let North Korea cede land and pay compensation, and at the same time let North Korea send sailors to help and strike a counterattack against the Ming Dynasty, otherwise Jiannu will never completely ignore many cities in the north and just blindly go south."

Li Qi nodded slowly, at this time, Jiannu completely ignored the Korean soldiers in the northern city, and just galloped south, the purpose was Hanyang and him, the king of Joseon.

"As soon as the army of Denglai arrived. The city defense of Hanyang should be unharmed. But there is a fatal hidden danger in the city. That is grain and grass, if this is not solved, even if Jiannu can't capture Hanyang, he won't retreat immediately. ”

Zhao Lie looked at the crowd.

"General Zhao is saying that Jiannu will besiege Hanyang until the food in the city is exhausted." Kim Sang-hun asked.

Zhao Lie nodded, Hanyang is so strong, if the defenders in the city are enough, then the possibility of being captured is very small. In this way, just like Zhao Lie did in Edo Castle, besieging the city and waiting for the city to run out of food, then this ripe fruit will naturally fall.

Of course, the premise is that you are invincible in the field, and the enemy army that comes to help is not afraid at all, this is exactly the case with the Jiannu army, Zhao Lie did not plan to fight with Jiannu here, his cavalry has not yet been completed, and it is by no means the time to gather and annihilate the Jiannu army, otherwise the Jiannu army of less than 40,000 is a good time to divide and annihilate.

"Leader of the government, how long can the grain and grass in the city last now?" Li Liang hurriedly asked Xiang Jinliu.

"Now it is estimated that the grain and grass in the city can only be used for more than a month. And nearly 10,000 Ming reinforcements came, as well as the people who kept coming. I'm afraid it won't be enough for a month. Jin Liu smiled bitterly.

As the capital of North Korea, Hanyang is also a big city of 200,000 Dingkou, and the grain and grass in the city are all dependent on the support of other states and counties.

What's more, so many Ming reinforcements came this time, and they had to spend a lot of food, and Jin Liu's estimate was less than two months' use.

"This is far from enough, and we should immediately collect grain and grass from nearby states and counties, which is the first priority, and we should do it immediately."

Zhao Lie shook his head, what is this grain and grass enough for.

Li Liang hurriedly ordered Hu Cao's judgment to be handled immediately.

"There is one nearby state and county, but what about the people nearby, they still have a lot of food at home." Zhao Lie looked at Jin Liu.

"Well, of course, there is still some surplus food for the winter." Jin Liu nodded inexplicably.

In this era, after paying the tax and rent, most of them could not last until the spring ploughing of the second year, but the winter grain was barely there.

"The Jiannu Brigade came lightly, and if they besieged Hanyang, then where did their grain and grass come from, they would loot near Hanyang. Hehe, when the time came, Jiannu ate the rice grain of North Korea and drove the nearby people to besiege and attack Hanyang. Zhao Lie looked at the Korean monarchs and ministers one by one.

Jiannu handled this when he entered the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible for Jiannu to bring rice and grain from distant Liaodong to Jinggi, so he simply robbed the rice and grain of the Ming people on the spot and persisted.

The Korean monarchs and ministers have not experienced this, but Zhao Lie said it and pointed it out, not to delay their brain replenishment, indeed, there is a shortage of food in the city, but Jiannu can rob the grain and grass of the nearby people to persevere, and then use the grain and grass of North Korea to persist in Jiannu to break through the Korean capital, which is really a great irony.

"Li Hongxuan, this king ordered you to immediately organize people to collect grain and grass from the nearby people, just say that this king said it, and they will be exempted from some taxes later."

Li Ju immediately ordered that for the safety of Hanyang and himself, it would not be a problem to lose a little tax.

"Great King," Li Hongxuan hesitated for a moment, "There is a lot of grain and grass in the eunuchs around here, how to deal with it." ”

Well, Li Qi also felt a great headache when he heard this, this is really extremely troublesome, North Korea is so similar to the Ming Dynasty, even the stubborn disease of the gentry class is exactly the same, of course there are many gentry near Gyeonggi, how to deal with their grain and grass.

"Then let it be landfilled, in short, we can't let Jiannu find it." Li Qi said helplessly.

"Your Majesty obeys." Li Hongxuan bowed down to receive the order.

"It's not going to work." Zhao Lie shook his head disapprovingly, refuting the decision of the king of Joseon.

Jin Liu, Li Hongxuan and the others looked at Zhao Lie in surprise, uh, this is a face-to-face refutation of the lord of the country, it is very rude and rude.

On the contrary, Li Liang was very humble to ask for advice, and he could see from Zhao Lie's words that Zhao Lie was really familiar with the Hulu army, and he was not ashamed to ask.

"What do you think of Mr. Zhao?"

"When they entered the Ming Dynasty, they used knives to force the Ming people to tell the location where the money and grain were buried, as long as there were people."

Zhao Lie was speechless for Li Liang's ignorant decision, Jiannu has always used bloody and terrifying means to intimidate the people and obtain everything they want, under this kind of means, no one can resist the past, and he can't watch his wife being killed and ravaged.

"This," Li Liang thought about Hu Lu's ferocious deeds, and knew that what Zhao Lie said was very right, but how to make the gentry's family take out money and food was really a headache.

"It's as simple as buying their rice at a price 10% higher than the market price." Zhao Lie came up with another idea.

"This," Jin Shangxian was also a little unable to sit still at this moment, in his opinion, Zhao Lie was a vulgar martial artist, and he was too unproficient in general affairs, how much food did he need. "How much more money is this, and the treasury doesn't have so much money to buy."

"As long as the lord of the country issues a proclamation, he can put a note on them, and then return rice or silver money after the Hulu."

Zhao Lie immediately came up with another bad idea of an IOU.

"The edict of the lord of the country, the gentry dare not disobey." Jin Liu nodded at this time, this method does not use silver money at first, it can not only solve the money and grain in the city, but also make there almost no grain and grass outside the city, and cut off Hu Lu's food because of the enemy.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, even if Hu Lu retreats, the treasury does not have so much money and food to return." Li Hongxuan had a sad face, this is not a small amount, the rice and grain of these gentry are not a small number, and now the national income of North Korea is also extremely difficult, not to mention that Hu Lu has to clean up the mess after retreating, there are expenses everywhere, plus this money and grain is really sad, these bad things will have to be cleaned up by a few of them at that time.

"The collected grain can be sold in the city, and if you don't want to starve, you can take out the money to buy grain, besides, after Hu Lu, I'm afraid that many gentry don't have to pay it back."

Zhao Lie said very lightly.

"Mr. Zhao said with a smile, it's okay to sell grain, but Hu Lu retreated, and he had to return the money and grain, which is related to my king's face."

Jin Liu couldn't stand it, he saw that this Zhao Lie was a ruffian, he really didn't know anything about political affairs, and he didn't return the grain he collected, where was the face of the king.

After all, this time it was ordered by the king to collect, if all kinds of excuses are not repaid this time, the king's reputation will be ruined, and who will dare to borrow food if there is something similar in the future.

"Alas, the king is surrounded by scholars who are full of poetry and books, and such a decision is biased."

Zhao Lie looked at Jin Liu, Li Hongxuan and the others and shook his head.

This sentence made Jin Liu, Li Hongxuan and others change color, this must be insulting, but for the conflict between the different generals of the Ming Kingdom who came to help, they endured it with red faces.

"Lord Jin, when the last Korean Ding Mao was in turmoil, how many Korean people were abducted by Jiannu." Cho Yeol turned to Kim Sang-heon.

"The last Hu was brutal and abducted more than 100,000 Korean soldiers and civilians." Referring to the last Ding Mao chaos, Kim Shangxian was also disgraced, not only offering a letter of surrender, but also offering compensation, and finally watched Hu Lu kidnap more than 100,000 Koreans and leave.

Well, no, this Lord Zhao mentioned this, "Lord Zhao is saying that many gentry families will be taken away, and a lot of this money and grain do not need to be returned." ”

Jin Shangxian looked at Zhao Lie in fear, this statement was too terrifying.

Zhao Lie raised his eyebrows and said nothing, the Ming Dynasty is like this, not to mention your little North Korea, in the eyes of Jiannu, a large empty plain is waiting for the slaves to open up, and what Liaodong lacks most is manpower.

Jin Liu and the others were speechless, yes, they did not know as much about Hu Lu as this Ming general, and all this that Zhao Lie told them was possible.

According to Zhao Lie, it is true that a lot of money and grain do not need to be returned, because there is no owner to return it.

It is said that they should be happy that the problem is solved, but joy comes from sorrow, and it comes from the pain of their own soldiers and civilians being uprooted from their homeland, and how do they rejoice?

Zhao Lie simply put the tragedy in front of them.

"Lord Zhao discussed state affairs when he arrived in Hanyang, and he didn't rest and eat," the first person to come to his senses was the leader of the council, Jin Liu, who was worthy of being the first person in North Korea, and he was the first to divert this topic.

"Look, the king, is it a banquet to be arranged for Lord Zhao to pick up the wind and wash the dust."

"Exactly, exactly." Li Liang woke up like a dream and hurriedly agreed, he couldn't help but talk about this bloody scene anymore, for the Li royal family, even the people near Gyeonggi could not be saved, it was really shameless.

Zhao Lie didn't say much, he listened to the arrangements of the Korean monarchs and ministers, he said everything that should be said, as for what the Korean monarchs and ministers should do, that was their business. (To be continued.) )
