"Lin Qingye has become a marshal, I'm afraid the Korean rebels won't be able to hold it." Jin Junyan, the commander of the Datong Army, was worried.

Dang Chongjun said with a smile: "Others can win, but Lin Qingye definitely can't win...... Mr. Yin, please come in. ”

Yoon Sun-do, a Korean Confucian and former teacher of the country, strode to the center of the room and greeted Dang Chongjun and Kim Junyan. He was not only a member of the Nanren Party, but also the first Korean official to send an envoy to China after the establishment of the Datong New Dynasty, and he has always advocated the study of Chinese Neo-Confucianism.

Now, he has been expelled from the court and demoted to a local petty official.

Jin Junyan asked: "Lin Qingye's name, I have heard of it in China, can't he still win the peasant army?" ”

Yin Shandao shook his head and sighed: "Lin Qingye is also from two classes of nobles, and he also belongs to the Westerner Party. But he was involved in party disputes within the Westerners twice, and later he got very close to our Southerners. Now that the Westerners are in power, how can he make great contributions? ”

"You scholars, you are quite good at calculating military generals." Kim Junyan sarcastically.

The Nanren Party, which was expelled from the court, was already plotting a counterattack, and even Lin Qingye was fooled out of the mountain by them.

Once Lin Qingye commanded the troops, the Westerners Party would inevitably pull back, resulting in a great defeat for the Korean officers and army. The South People's Party can take the opportunity to impeach the West People's Party and say that the West People's Party has colluded with the peasant army, and even if there is no collusion, it has also harmed the North Korean army.

Dang Chongjun smiled: "Let's wait and see." ”

Let's say that Lin Qingye won the victory of Tieyuan and was appointed as a marshal by the king. He only took 5,000 elites and tens of thousands of people, and chased the peasant army all the way, and the rest of the troops stayed behind in Tieyuan to protect the king.

The peasant army was intimidated by Lin Qingye's prestige, and did not dare to fight with him at all, so they abandoned the city all the way and retreated to Ping'an Road. Along the way, they coerced the people, looted food and goods, and did not give officers and soldiers the opportunity to supply on the spot.

Lin Qingye successfully took Huangzhou, and then he felt that something was wrong.

"Why hasn't the grain and grass been delivered yet?" Lin Qingye asked.

"It's already urging," replied Li Yuanren, who was in charge of grain and grass, "and the officials of Bingcao said that Chuncheon was blocked by the heavenly soldiers, and the grain from the south could not be transported north. The grain requisitioned in Gyeonggi Province must be supplied to Cheorwon, and they are trying to raise as much grain as possible to transport it to Hwangju. ”

Lin Qingye was furious: "Nonsense, the grain and grass in Tieyuan can last for at least three months." In these three months, I have already wiped out the rebels here! If you go to urge again, don't delay until winter, otherwise how can you fight in the ice and snow? ”

Song Junji, the soldier Cao Juju, that is, the secretary of the military department, is determined to cut off the grain and grass on the front line. He colluded with Hu Cao's judgment and kept emphasizing that there was not enough food, and he squeezed toothpaste to transport grain to the front line.

As a result of this, Lin Qingye could only reduce his meals, and the front-line soldiers could not even guarantee two meals a day.

Finally, Lin Qingye couldn't help it, and personally led hundreds of cavalry to rush back to Tieyuan to confront Song Junji face to face. Song Junji looked innocent and cried poor in front of King Li Di, who ordered the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to cut down on food and clothing, and must ensure the supply of military rations in Huangzhou.

Song Junji agreed on the surface, but secretly made a stumbling block, and the establishment of the Westerner Party united to deduct the grain and grass transported out layer by layer, and even deducted the rations of the people.

Anyway, Lin Qingye can't be allowed to make meritorious contributions, otherwise they, the civil officials in power, will be finished.

Song Shilie still has a bottom line, and he took some civilian officials to leave the Mountain Party, and constantly impeached Song Junji for his behavior of harming front-line soldiers. The mountain party in the Westerner Party was divided into two factions, arguing in front of Li Di all day long.

Lin Qingye, who was far away in Huangzhou, finally obtained a batch of military rations and was about to continue his march north, when he suddenly received an urgent military situation from the rear.

The grain transporters have rebelled!

Lin Qingye had to lead the army back to quell the rebellion and suppress the rebellious people, and the peasant army learned the news and immediately came back to besiege Huangzhou.

After pacifying the chaos of the people, Lin Qingye returned with his troops, wanting to wipe out the peasant army outside Huangzhou. At this time, there was an urgent military situation in Tieyuan, and the peasant army led by Han Qiyuan went south along the east coast and approached the east of Tieyuan.

Lin Qingye, a veteran, was so angry that he almost vomited blood. There are soldiers on Tieyuan's side, he specially stayed to protect the king, as long as the food is enough, it is no problem to hold on for a year, how can he go back to the rescue?

Lin Qingye continued to lead his troops to Huangzhou, and received three holy decrees in a row halfway, and the Mountain Party was already impeaching him for meritorious service, completely ignoring the life and death of the king and ministers.

King Li Di originally supported Lin Qingye, but when a peasant army appeared in the east, Li Di was also afraid, so he followed the advice of the mountain party and transferred Lin Qingye back to escort him.

In desperation, Lin Qingye led his troops back.

Huangzhou was garrisoned by 500 elite officers and soldiers, surrounded by tens of thousands of peasant troops, and could still hold the city. But within a few days, there were spies in the city who set fire, and in the chaos, Huangzhou City was lost again, and the 500 elite officers and soldiers were also wiped out.

Immediately, the peasant army occupied Haizhou again, and then coerced the people to march eastward, connecting with the Datong army stationed in Kaesong.

Lin Qingye led his troops back to Cheorwon, and when Han Qiyuan heard that this old man was coming, he was so frightened that he immediately retreated to the mountains of Gangwon Province. Subsequently, Han Qiyuan retreated all the way to the sea and captured Gangneung, the largest city on the east coast of central Korea.

At this time, it was winter, and the mountains were covered with heavy snow, so there was no way to fight.

The Korean monarchs and elite officers and soldiers were huddled in Cheorwon and could not move, and there was really not enough food to eat. After the beginning of spring, Lin Qingye wanted to quell the chaos again, so he had to solve the problem of military rations by himself.

Song Junji began to impeach again: "King, Lin Qingye was a marshal in vain, and he lived up to the king's trust after a long time of peace. Now, the grain in the south is blocked by the heavenly soldiers, and if the grain road cannot be opened in the spring, the king and the hundred officials will starve to death! ”

Before Lin Qingye could refute, Song Shilie angrily reprimanded: "If you hadn't been in the way, General Lin would have destroyed the thieves on the West Road a long time ago!" ”

"How did I get out of it? Don't spray people with blood! Song Junji also roared.

The henchmen of both sides joined in one after another, making King Li Li quarrel so much that his head hurts.

Li Di now completely distrusts the civilian officials, and asked Lin Qingye: "Old general, how should I fight in the future?" ”

Lin Qingye replied: "King, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." The heavenly soldiers must be persuaded to give up Chuncheon, so that the grain from the south can be transported north. As long as the grain and grass are sufficient, the minister guarantees to eliminate the thieves within half a year! ”

Li Di looked at the civil official: "Who is going to persuade the heavenly soldiers to give way to the passage?" ”

Zheng Taihe replied: "Great King, the minister has sent several groups of messengers, but the angel's conditions are a bit harsh. First, it is forbidden to ban "Datong Collection". Some of the contents of this book were written by the emperor of the Celestial Empire himself, and the rest were also written by important ministers of the Celestial Empire. China's ban on "Datong Collection" is a great disrespect to the emperor......"

As soon as this remark came out, several factions that were fighting with each other stood up against each other.

Even Song Shilie, who fully supported Lin Qingye's war, said strongly: "King, you must not let the "Datong Collection" spread. There are a lot of heresies and strange theories in this book, "The Theory of the Three Plains" is the theory of the destruction of the country, "The Theory of Character" is reversed, and "The Theory of Dividing the Fields" is even more troublesome to the world! ”

Li Di was a little curious and asked, "What is written in "Datong Collection"? Why do you regard it as a flood beast? ”

Song Shilie said: "The "Three Origins Theory" distorts the mandate of heaven and the induction of heaven and man, believing that there are people in the world first, and a country should be people-oriented. And the king and the minister are only the protectors of the people, not the rulers of the people. The "Theory of Personality" reverses morality and confuses the inferior and inferior, believing that men and women are equal in personality, but their status is different. A person who is not worthy of the throne can be overthrown, and the same is true for the king of a country. "The Theory of Dividing Fields" is even more ridiculous, believing that the big landlords strip the small people and hollow out the imperial court, and the land of the big landlords should be distributed to the people. ”

"Emperor of the Celestial Empire, do you really allow these statements to spread? Or did he say something himself? Li Di was shocked.

"King, this book must be banned, and it must not be spread!" The ministers said in unison.

Li Di also felt that it could not be spread, and frowned: "The Heavenly Soldiers are here to kill this time, I'm afraid the rest are excuses." The real reason is that my country banned the "Datong Collection", which made the emperor of the Celestial Empire unhappy. But if you don't agree to lift the ban on this book, how can you make the Celestial Empire retreat? ”

Song Junji said: "I'm afraid I have to give more benefits." ”

Li Di asked, "Tribute?" ”

Song Junji shook his head: "There is no shortage of goods in the Celestial Empire. ”

"Do you want to cut the land and sacrifice the soil?" Li Di said.

No one speaks, and no one dares to open this mouth first, otherwise it is easy to be impeached by political opponents afterwards.

Zheng Taihe, as the leader of the council, that is, the first assistant, was named by Li Di again: "Zheng Qing, you can talk about it." ”

"It's better to cede the Northern Dao," Zheng Taihe said stubbornly, "The Northern Dao was occupied by me in the early years of the Dynasty, and the mountains are continuous, remote and barren, and can be dedicated to the Celestial Empire." ”

At this time, Hamgyong Province was not divided into North Hamgyong Province and South Hamgyong Province, but the northeastern corner of Hamgyong Province, which is commonly known as North Province, is actually part of North Hamgyong Province. It is the poorest place in North Korea, and it is also the favorite place for conscription in North Korea.

Even if he was ceded out, Li Di would not feel distressed, but he felt that it would damage his majesty, so he wanted to throw the pot of lost land to the ministers: "What do you think?" ”

Still no one answered, and they didn't want to take the pot.

Li Di asked in a different way: "Who is against it?" ”

The ministers remained silent, apparently unopposed.

The forces of the two classes of nobles are all in the central and southern regions, and if a piece is cut off in the north, they will not feel distressed.

Lin Qingye suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, not an inch of the land can be ceded!" ”

Li Di originally valued Lin Qingye very much, but at this time he felt a little annoying. What does this phrase mean? He can't get off the stage at all!

Because of Lin Qingye's opposition, this discussion could not be carried out again.

In fact, grain from the south has been transported to the north, and it is a mountainous area in Gangwon Province. But it can only be carried by the people, and the loss is great on the way, and the people themselves have to eat more than half.

After the winter, the heavy snow closed the mountain, and the government also asked the people to transport grain, and the frozen dead and frozen disabled people did not know how many.

More and more people fled, but the monarchs and the army had to eat, and before the winter had passed, there was a serious shortage of food in Tieyuan.

The king and his ministers must not go hungry, not only must they not starve, but they must eat and drink well. Then you can only suffer the soldiers, the soldiers are starving, the elite are starving and become resentful pawns, and finally there is a food incident before the New Year.

If this continues, there is no need for the peasant army to kill, and the elite of the North Korean officers and soldiers will rebel.
