"What Jin Lao said is true." Li Shibai disagreed, "Since we have decided to attach ourselves to the Ming Dynasty, we should levy the Qing troops in Yizhou, how can we delay?" ”

Jin Jin smiled, "Then Master Li said, how many men and horses do you have to take to the north to conquer Yizhou?" ”

"This ......" Li Shibai was speechless.

How many people to bring? Conquer Uiju? Still let me go?

What do you think!

Even if I were given 50,000 horses, I wouldn't go to Uiju to die!

Seeing that Li Shibai didn't dare to answer, Li Liang immediately knew that what Jin Jin said was right, "It can be delayed, but will the grain and grass we supply to the Qing army stop, or will it not stop?" ”

Jin Jin knew that Li Liang was worried that if he continued to supply grain and grass to Yizhou, not only would Korea be in a tight supply, but it would definitely cause the people and courtiers to lack food, and there would also be a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, which would inevitably make Ming Guo misunderstand.

"Non-stop! But give less! ”

"Less?" Li Qi frowned.

"There are few people in the land in our country, and in recent years, there has been severe cold and drought, and there is not much food in stock. The tens of thousands of stone grains and grass transported to the north last time have almost been emptied of the Hanyang grain depot, and these are the real things that the Qing soldiers who came to Hanyang to supervise can see, and now it is logical to say that there is no grain to transport! ”

Li Qi nodded, "It's okay, just do it according to Jin Qing's wishes!" ”

On that day, a major event occurred in Hanyang Castle that shook the whole city.

The 74-year-old Jin Jin was appointed as the leader of the council for the third time and was always in charge of the imperial court.

On the day he took office, he took a series of pro-Qing civil and military ministers such as Jin Zidian into prison, and at the same time used a large number of pro-Ming officials to enrich all the yamen.

He also ordered the troops and horses of the southern provinces to go north to Gyeonggi to garrison, and at the same time strengthened the number of garrisons south of Uiju, Anju, Pyongyang, Hwangju, Pyongsan, Kaesong and other places.

In the cold winter season, it is rare to recruit people to strengthen the city defense of Namhanshan Fortress in case of emergency.

He did this in case Hauge knew the movement of North Korea in advance and sent troops to Hanyang. In case the Korean army could not resist and was beaten to Hanyang by the Qing army, Yi Liang could go to Namhansan Fortress for refuge.

Originally, Li Shibai and others advocated setting Ganghwa Island as a reserve shelter.

However, when the monarchs and ministers discussed, they agreed that when the ice was frozen in winter, there was no sea water to block the Qing army's iron cavalry, and Ganghwa Island lost its strategic significance.

More importantly, after the previous Jin attack, Ganghwa Island did not play the expected defensive role at all, and was finally conquered by the Jin soldiers and captured Li Liang. This kind of place is both chicken ribs and ominous, Li Liang is reluctant to go a second time.

Namhansan Fortress, which was built more than 2,000 years ago, has been renovated and strengthened over the years, and the walls built on the mountain are relatively thick and tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

When you climb the highest peak in the city, Iljangsan Mountain, you can see the enemy situation in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, and when the air is good, you can even see the situation in Incheon.

In addition, a palace and various facilities for evacuation have already been built in the castle, and if they are further strengthened and added, they will be able to be impregnated.

In order to prevent Hauge in Yiju from getting the news, after Jin Jin and others controlled the pro-Qing civil and military, they set up checkpoints on various northbound roads to intercept pedestrians going north, and even the pigeons flying north were shot down by the soldiers.

In order to be foolproof, Li Liang sent two secret envoys to quickly ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.

One way from Incheon Port to the sea to Lushun and Tianjin, the other way to take the remote mountain road, avoiding Uiju into Liaodong, to Shengjing.

Li Liang looked at the airtight defense, thinking that Da Ming was about to send troops to help, and he was in a good mood, and even prepared to review the gathered troops.

……

Uiju.

Hauge rested for a few days, regained his spirits, and prepared to receive Li Liang, who had come to worship, in the most majestic appearance.

But left and right, just waiting for the news that Li Liang was sick and couldn't come north.

Although Haoge was angry, he was surprisingly good-tempered, and he tolerated Li Kun's mistakes, ordered people to spread the word, and to come north as soon as possible.

A few days later, it was time for North Korea to deliver grain and grass.

Compion looked at the pitiful grain cart, became angry, and reported it to Haug.

Haoge didn't believe that Li Liang dared to cut off the grain and grass of the Qing army, so he went to see it in person, but he really only saw a dozen truckloads of military rations.

The Korean soldiers who transported the troops poured bitter water, saying that there was no grain in Hanyang, and the king of Joseon had emptied the granary of Hanyang, so he scraped together these military rations.

"Master, although Korea is small, it will not be able to provide rations for more than 10,000 people...... Turg felt that there was something strange about it.

"What do you mean?" Hauge asked.

"Li Liang said that he was sick and didn't come, and now he has given less grain and grass, and he didn't send important ministers to escort him, and he didn't even send ministers such as Jin Zidian, who we are familiar with, to visit ......."

"You mean, Li Liang has a rebellious heart? He lost to the Qing Dynasty twice, how dare he continue to go back on his word! ”

"Master." Turg said in a deep voice: "It's not as good now as it was a few years ago. ”

When Hauge heard this, his face instantly pulled down.

Halfway through Turg's words, seeing that Hauge's face was not good, it was not easy to stop, so he had to continue to speak:

"The results of the two battles of Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou must have reached Hanyang, and if the news of the siege of Shengjing also reaches Li Liang's ears, it will inevitably not arouse his disobedience."

Hauge nodded, "If he knew that Shengjing City was broken......

Turge followed Hauge's words and said: "Once the news of the loss of Shengjing reaches Hanyang, Li Qi and his people will definitely turn back.

Now he is only calling himself sick, and he has not cut off the supply, which means that he has not received definite news. ”

Haoge nodded again: "In the upper reaches of the Tumen River and the Yalu River, Li Shutai and others are stationed, and we are stationed here in Yizhou, and the sea is frozen and difficult to navigate, I believe that Li Liang does not know the situation in Shengjing." ”

"Yes, master, we can't sit still, it's better to take the initiative and take Hanyang first!" Turg proposed.

"Hmm......" Hauge hesitated, "no hurry! You first send someone to Hanyang to inquire about the situation, but if Li Liang has a different intention, he will definitely be able to see the clues. ”

Early the next morning, three teams of Qing soldiers rushed out of Yiju and galloped south.

Jin Jin gathered soldiers and horses, and the action of strengthening the city defense was very large, and the ranks of the people were also long, so he could not escape the detection of the Qing army at all.

In just four days, the Qing soldiers and cavalry who left the city found out the construction of city defenses and the expansion of troops in Anju and Pyongyang, and even saw a large number of people rushing towards Hanyang.

After scouting around Pyongyang, they stopped going south and resolutely returned to Uiju to report to Hauge.

"Okay, you Li Liang, you really started to prepare for the war! In vain, I think you're a manufactur! ”

Hauge was furious.

"Master, while the Koreans are not ready, we should immediately go south and control Gyeonggi!"

Hauge nodded, "Of course, even if he is well prepared, he will definitely not be the opponent of my Blue Flag Warriors." It's just a bunch of local chickens and dogs! ”

The next day, Haorgeliu and 1,000 men were stationed in Yiju, and personally led 10,000 soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner to the south.

"The warriors of the Qing Dynasty, rush to Hanyang within fifteen days, and capture Li Liang alive within twenty days!"

"The Lord Regent is mighty!"

"The Lord Regent is mighty!"

"The Lord Regent is mighty!"
