Chapter 338: Persuasion Education

From door-to-door blackmail to the role change of protector, it is dizzying fast. It also made many people understand the essence of Chen Zongbing's capricious and undisciplined lower limit. Settling accounts is just an excuse, and the essence is to rely on strong force to coerce the king of Joseon. In other words, this kind of thing will definitely set off a storm of impeachment when it reaches the Ming Court. Sending troops to other countries without authorization, this crime is not small in the Ming Dynasty, enough to kill the head hundreds of times. The problem is that Chen Xie is not afraid at all, he is single out of the Beijing Division, and Chen Xie sees the incompetence and weakness of the Ming monarch very clearly. If it weren't for the fear of trouble and the fact that he didn't have any lofty ambitions, Chen Xie wouldn't mind doing something more excessive.

It's already like this anyway, so what if it's not good? is probably such a mentality, Chen Xie has no idea about the current Daming, what should he do. If you want to impeach at will, Lao Tzu doesn't care. Such a Chen Xie is very scary.

The fact that the capital of one country should be protected by the military garrison of another country is probably unacceptable to a monarch. Even Li Chao, who has been kneeling and licking the Ming Dynasty for a long time, is impossible to accept. Yi Yong-chol's trip to Pyongyang was a great failure, and after the king of the Li Dynasty, Yi Ju spat on his face, he found a group of people to discuss how to send this guy. It would be better if we just gave him five million taels, and everyone would come up with a little bit and make up for it.

Asking the officials to pay for this kind of thing is undoubtedly the same as Zhu Youzhen borrowing money from the nobles, so that these grasshoppers who are lying on the body of the country and sucking blood dig out their pockets, hehe. The results can be imagined, and nothing is gained. Zhu Youzhen, the son of the eldest tomorrow, hoped that his father-in-law would take the lead in donating at the worst time. were decisively rejected.

I don't have money, I can't beat it, what should I do? The result of the deliberations is continued reasoning.

After failing to persuade him, he returned to Jeolla in disappointment and met with Chen Xie, saying that the Lee dynasty did not accept the protection of the Dengju camp and wanted to reason with the current situation. This time, Li Yongzhe was even more undisciplined, kneeling in front of Chen Xie, saying that he was incompetent. The wishes of the Lord of the Kingdom were not fulfilled.

Chen Xie was deeply pleased with Li Lianlu's party's discipline index. After some reassurance, he said: "Don't give up persuasion education because of a setback." It is not right to punish without teaching, and we must continue to persuade and educate us. ”

Li Yongzhe felt incomprehensible, and at this time he still persuaded education? How to look. and all their own money will grow wings and fly.

Chen Xie patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's a hard trip." Come with me to do Li Kun's ideological work. "Follow Chen Xie to the barracks. When he saw the army packing up, Li Yongzhe trembled with fright, knelt in front of Chen Xie and said, "Lord Shangguo." The subordinates were willing to disarm the officers and men of Jeolla Left Province and enter the port to work as porters for the adults. I just ask the adults to let the subordinates go, and don't force the subordinates to go to Pyongyang. ”

This request really made Chen Xie very embarrassed, and after thinking about it, Chen Xie said: "There is always someone to show me the way, but the road in North Korea is not familiar." ”

Li Yongzhe did not hesitate to betray his nephew Li Shengji and asked him to lead the way for the Dengzhou camp. Chen Xie was very disappointed in this, really disappointed, and said to Li Yongzhe with a sigh: "You really underestimated the ability of this official to persuade education, and missed an opportunity to make a fortune." ”

Li Yongzhe said in his heart, you old man can't never leave for the rest of his life, right? You're gone, what should I do?

Leaving the newly formed third battalion, Chen Xie took Li Yuncong's first battalion and the first artillery battalion on the road. Now that he is on the road, it is not a matter of paying compensation and handing over a few princesses to satisfy Master Chen's appetite. The military discipline of the Dengju battalion was very good, and when they met people along the way, they said, "The Dengju battalion is here to protect North Korea."

At this time, the king of the Li Dynasty realized how ridiculous it was to reason with Master Chen. Chen Xie, who dragged the cannon to the door, came all the way to the city of Pyongyang unimpeded, and no army dared to stop him along the way. It can be seen that North Korea is weak Cheng dù.

The gates of Pyongyang were closed, and Li Liang stood at the head of the city, trembling as he watched as the Dengzhou soldiers were unhurriedly setting up artillery positions. Send a Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites to make a final effort. This Jin Shangshu, whose calves were shaking all the time, saw Master Chen sitting in a huge luxurious carriage, and knelt down with a puff.

Chen Xie snorted, opened his mouth and ate a bite of the fruit that his concubine Jin Ji brought to his mouth with a small mouth, and lazily said to Jin Shangshu: "The Dengzhou camp is here to protect North Korea, since you don't believe that the Dengzhou camp has this strength, then show it to the king of your Li Dynasty." lest the Korean people say that Dengju Camp does not practice. ”

Jin Shangshu and his entourage, with their bayonets against their backs in the cold, came to the artillery position to observe. Weng Zhengqing, the commander of the troops, looked at this Shangshu with disdain, put down the telescope and ordered: "The test launch begins." ”

"Boom!" The 12-pounder rifled gun had a greater deterrent effect than a kill for the infantry, but for the city walls, this thing was very deadly. Artillery was fired from the position 1,500 meters away, and the high-speed flying projectiles hit the city wall, and the violent vibration made Li Liang on the head of the city almost lose his footing.

After adjusting the ruler, the 24 12-pounder rifled guns began to fire fiercely, and Mr. Chen looked at the target with great interest. At this time, casualties were still avoided, after all, the Dengju battalion was here to protect the Korean people. However, the guns don't have long eyes, and it's understandable that there will be some accidents. For example, a running cannonball, accidentally flew a little higher, fell into the city, and smashed a roof.

A white flag was erected at the head of the city, and Li Liang, who was not possessed by his soul, took his ministers out of the city. With the absolute support of profiteering, Chen Xieshun completed the persuasion education of the king of the Li Dynasty.

"The outer vassal Li Qi has met Lord Shangguo." Li Liang trembled and knelt in front of Chen Xie, without the slightest courage to face it. Looking at the large round gauze hat kneeling in front of him, Chen Xie sighed with emotion and sighed: "Why are you suffering? Li Chao is a place where other things are really worthless except for the wood that the official can see. It can also be cold to death in winter. ”

Chen Xie was ushered into Pyongyang, and not a single citizen was seen on the street. The previous shelling frightened the city's guts. Unfortunately, the streets were a little narrower, and Chen Xie's luxury carriage could not enter the city gate. I had to mount my horse and slowly enter the city in the midst of the army. The four people of the king of the Li Dynasty carried their sons and followed Chen Xie's side, carefully observing Chen Zongbing's reaction as they walked.

"This city is so broken." After looking around for a while, Chen Xie was excited.

The Dengzhou battalion took over the guards of the palace, and Li Wei held a feast to receive Chen Xie. What can be delicious in this country, Chen Xie really can't see it, even if a barbecue is a small country for the New Year, if you want to say how much oil and water, Chen Xie's own don't believe it.

Ate two pieces of barbecue and drank two cups of rice wine from the fading bird. Chen Xie clapped his hands very unhappily and called Han Shan. Li Liang's hand trembled, thinking in his heart that Master Chen would not be dissatisfied and angry. Chen Xie didn't get angry, but said to Han Shan: "Go, bring in the gifts I prepared, and come to the door as a guest, how rude it is to be empty-handed." ”

The Manchu Dynasty was both civil and military, and the Dengzhou soldiers came in carrying one box after another, and everyone kept counting. Soon, the number of boxes filled the open space in the middle of the hall, and when there were still boxes extending to the door, the grievance in Li Liang's heart seemed to be less intense. On the contrary, he expressed great expectations for the gift sent by Chen Xie.

Holding the gift list in his hand, Han Shan read angrily: "In order to express his deep friendship with friends, Chen Xie, the chief soldier of Dengzhou Town, Daming, gave the following gifts to friends, 100 American thermoses, 200 bottles of toilet water, 100 sets of daily chemical suits, 100 warm down jackets, 500 cotton cloths, 50 beauty dressing boxes, 10 boxes of high-end cigarettes, 100 catties of toffee, 500 glasses, 500 mirrors, 100 stones of snow salt, 100 stones of snow sugar, 100 stones of tea, ....... ”

All these things add up, in modern society, it is less than one million yuan, but at this time, it is definitely a generous gift for the blind. The key is that there are a lot of them, and how good they look. Drained all the way, the yard was full of roads.

After Han Shan finished reading, he snorted and left disdainfully. Chen Xie, who was sitting next to Li Liang, sighed and said, "It was originally a good thing, how could it be like this?" The Ming Dynasty is not rare in the land of your country, nor is it rare in the output of your country. But Houjin is different, the poor on the grassland are left with livestock, and they will not come with gifts. When you go, take everything you can with you. If it weren't for the inability of your country to resist Jiannu, I would not have risked being buried alive by the minister with an impeachment note. ”

Li Kun's three views are a little confused, look at the full gifts, and then think about the ferocity of Jiannu. It seems that what Lord Chen of Shangguo said is very reasonable. Before, those ministers shouted, "No matter how small North Korea is, it is still a country, how can the dignified capital be touched by others?" "This kind of thing feels a bit harsh now. If you don't let people come, won't anyone else come? The last time I came was Amin, and this time it was Chen Xie. The difference is that one comes to rob with a knife and the other comes to visit with a gift. As for such a shameful thing as the cannon bombardment, Li Qi automatically filtered it out.

After the feast, Master Chen declined Li Liang's "kindness" to invite him to the harem as a guest, and it was okay to drink in the palace, but if he wanted to enter someone's harem, it would be a little unclear. For the sake of huge benefits in the future, forget about this temptation and confusion in front of you. North Korea is a country, and it is definitely not what Master Chen said, there is nothing to look at. There are still some good things, such as Chen Xie's need for a lot of timber to build a ship, how can he cut it himself more efficiently than the North Koreans? Another example is wild ginseng, not to mention how effective this thing is, the price in modern society is not low. North Korea also has copper, gold, and silver mines, all of which are things that Chen Xie needs.

Of course, robbing by profiteering means is a very inferior method, which is why Chen Xie did not rob when he arrived in Pyongyang. Through the medium of guò silver won, the Korean people consciously and voluntarily hand over good things is the truly clever means. (To be continued......)
