Chapter Ninety-One: The Chess Pieces Buried in the Mud
Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for rewards
Hamhung Province, Hamgyong Province, North Korea:
"Hurry up, let's go, if you don't want to die, go quickly!" More than 1,000 heavily armed Liaodong iron knights armed with flintlock firearms were escorting more than 8,000 ragged and exhausted Jurchen young men to assemble at the port.
Each of these people, whose hands were firmly bound by thick ropes, and every fifty of them were tied together by the same rope, and they were driven by the fierce Liaodong iron cavalry like driving cattle, and boarded the ships in the port in order.
"Master Li, there are so many slaves, where is the Wufeng fleet going to sell them?" In a grass shed on the side of the port, Li Shutian, the chief protector of Hamgyong Province, was respectfully saluting a young man and asked cautiously.
"Hehe, why is Lord Li so polite? You and I are officials in the same dynasty, both are officials under the command of the king, I am just a second-grade counselor, how can there be a feudal official like Lord Li to be comfortable? The young man smiled and said softly.
"Hehe, I don't dare to be an old man, a handsome and talented person like Counselor Li is the capable and good face of my North Korea, and the old man is just an idle official here, and this is just the rest of his life" Li Shutian hurriedly complimented, he knew that he said goodbye, this young man was just a second-grade counselor, but the person standing behind him was a terrifying existence that no one dared to provoke in the whole of North Korea.
Li Xiangyu, a rising star in North Korean politics, is said to have been a man who was not afraid to rebuke rebellion when Yoon Won-hyung rebelled. And calmly commanded the Praetorian Guards, defending the palace and fighting the rebels endlessly, so as to ensure that His Majesty did not die at the hands of rebellious ministers and thieves.
Later, Li Xiangyu personally killed the leader of the Wenchen rebellion, Yin Yuanheng, and was later named by the Joseon King Li Xiang, the counselor of Zheng Erpinzuo, and publicly announced that Li Xiangyu was the nephew of Li Shutian, the protector of Hamgyong Province. In this way, Li Xiangyu was in the limelight in the North Korean political arena for a while, and at the same time, he had a large number of ruthless and murderous dead soldiers under him.
In the struggle to exterminate the officials of the Yin Yuanheng faction, these dead soldiers shone brightly, and about ninety percent of the rebellious officials died at their hands.
But except for Li Shutian, no one knows the true identity of Li Xiangyu: the cunning fox in the southeast in the past, and the first secret agent under Li Rusong in today's dangerous mountain!
If the dead soldier under Li Xiangyu is a dagger in the dark night, killing people invisibly, the dangerous mountain army under the command of Li Rusong, the king of Liaodong Yama behind him, is an indestructible artillery.
It is important to know that after Li Xiangyu was suddenly promoted, the Korean descendants and scholars who were unwilling to lose their power were tried to win him over in many ways, but they were all rejected by Li Xiangyu without exception.
There is a relative of the emperor of the descendant family, perhaps he wants to force Li Xiangyu to surrender, so he publicly claimed to have evidence that Li Xiangyu and Yin Yuanheng were complicit in betraying the party, and also found a group of so-called witnesses.
And then: the mansion of this noble relative living in Gangwon Province, North Korea, was attacked by hundreds of horse thieves in the middle of the night. The entire family of more than 80 people, men, women and children, were all beheaded. The mansion was also burned to the ground.
Behind him, North Korea once sent troops to pursue this "horse thief", but the 15,000 Korean army not only did not destroy this "horse thief", but was attacked by the horse thieves and lost hundreds of people.
All this made Li Shutian shudder, Li Xiangyu is Li Rusong's spokesman in North Korea, no matter who infringes on Li Rusong's power, then he will be devastated.
After thinking about this, he sent his son, who often caused trouble, to Wang Jing under house arrest, and at the same time strengthened the connection between Hamgyong Province and the dangerous mountains, and befriended Li Xiangyu. As long as Li Rusong wants to do something in Hamgyong Province, Li Shutian will allow it.
This time, after two major battles, the Dangerous Mountain Army captured a total of 8,597 Jurchen young adults, 397 of whom later died of their injuries, and the rest were all prepared to buy mud bombardment by Li Rusong's big hand.
You must know that the daimyo who are now fighting to the death one by one, and the human brain is beating the dog brain, and the soldiers under his command are consumed very quickly, and most of these soldiers are ordinary people in the daimyo's territory, and dying too much will seriously affect the strength of the daimyo itself.
So the daimyo looked for all kinds of ways to improve the combat effectiveness of their own armies, and they were alive to form alliances to fight together, and the Wufeng fleet brought them new hope: a group of fierce and brave slaves, the price was low, and you could toss it casually after buying it, and you didn't need any compensation when you died.
This made the daimyo very happy, a group of cannon fodder who were no less fierce than the elite troops of the Wufeng fleet, and they only needed to spend a penny to have hundreds of cannon fodder who sold their lives to themselves. This kind of person can be allowed to go in any big battle or hard battle, and the descendants under his command can't hide behind and wait for the enemy to be exhausted and make the most fatal blow.
Unlike the early European colonizers, who used black slaves as coolies and did not dare to send them to the battlefield, the Mud Bombards were overconfident or a little stupid, naively believing that slaves would be loyal to them. This is one of the reasons why tens of thousands of troops were lost in the later mud bombardment and the unification of the eight states in the Kanto region during the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era.
You must know that this group of Jurchens in the Dao Dao are all unruly and unruly, and everyone has a lot of blood on their hands, and the reason why they have become honest in front of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is because this group of wolf cubs knows very well that they can't beat others, so they must be honest dogs!
But after a number of wars, the group of Tartars soon discovered that their master, the Daimyo of Mud Bombardment, was actually incompetent, and the soldiers under their command were a group of crooked melons and cracked dates. Then these Jurchen cannon fodder quickly made a great decision: pick up weapons and kill their bosses, quickly review the knowledge of burning, killing and looting, and get over the addiction of being masters! After they had gathered enough strength, a "rebellion" broke out.
According to the history books of later generations, the total number of these Jurchen soldiers was about 20,000, and they quickly swept through the entire mud bombardment, and there was no grass everywhere they passed, they frantically burned and looted, forcibly X mud bombardment women, and even burned down the emperor's palace, OOXX imperial concubines and many palace maids.
You must know that during Li Rusong's conquest of Liaodong after the Dao, more than 50,000 Jurchens were sold to the mud, and they would cause huge trouble to the monkey general Toyotomi Hideyoshi!
"Hehe, the devils are really kind-hearted people, I was worried about how to make some trouble for them, so they obediently sent them to the door" Dangerous Mountain looked at the wealth brought by the slave trade this time, Li Rusong couldn't stop smiling.
This time, there were 8,000 Jurchen slaves, Oda Nobunaga asked for 2,000 people, and the rest was divided among dozens of the messy daimyo and hundreds of me, and the dangerous mountain made a net profit of 150,000 taels of silver.
Mongolian Bansheng City:
"This Li Rusong is such a powerful person, I must personally report to the Great Khan, if this person is not removed, it will be extremely difficult for the Great Khan to occupy the Central Plains!"
