Chapter 116: King Wu's Mansion and the Conquest of Goryeo
They Haiyangwei, but they belong to one of the Seven Davids, not only have a garrison, but also a marine county town.
The strongest one among the seven guards is Haiyangwei, the original pirate leader, and now the commander of Haiyangwei, Lao Liu, occupies the position of commander of this Haiyangwei.
Liu Sanniang said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I have already told my father, when I go to Jinling and take them over, I will send all the official positions here to my younger brother." ”
After Zhu Han heard this, he laughed again, "What are you kidding?" I remember that your little brother seems to be only eight years old this year, how can an eight-year-old child be the commander of this Haiyang Guard? ”
Liu Sanniang was not worried about the problem Zhu Han said at all.
"Brother Han, you don't have to worry about this, although my junior brother is only eight years old, you can let my senior brother stay here, they can assist him, as long as you can take care of this Haiyang Guard, what eight years old, eighty years old is not the same."
The leaders of the rebel army in these guards in Shandong were originally local tyrants and bandits, or poor people, and they did not have any lofty ambitions, but just wanted to guard their own one-third of an acre of land, and use the name of a red turban army 'imperial uncle' to mix up wealth and wealth.
Now there is a better Jinling Mansion to go to, which is a good place for drunken gold fans, and they are naturally unwilling to continue to stay here in Shandong, fearing to serve as cannon fodder on the front line.
Zhu Han couldn't agree to them, but now when he was employing people, how could he allow these pirates who were used to seeing the wind and waves to go to Jinling to become rich men.
He smiled and said to Liu Sanniang, "Let your father and them go to Jinling to enjoy the blessings, I can promise this, but you can't simply enjoy the blessings, your father is not very old, now is the time when I need to use people, your senior brothers, and your father, those people are veterans of the sea, they must not be wasted, I will give them some new assignments when the time comes, let them receive a salary in Jinling, wouldn't it be better!" I'm right! ”
Liu Sanniang was immediately happy after hearing this, Zhu Han's words fully showed that Zhu Han did not dislike her background.
Liu Sanniang immediately asked curiously, "Brother Han, what kind of dispatch do you plan to arrange for my father and them?" ”
Zhu Han hugged Liu Sanniang's soft waist and walked back along the beach, saying with a smile, "I just received a military report that a rebellion has broken out in Quanzhou, Fujian Xuanwei Division, and the Hui people there control the sea trade in the Nanyang and Western Oceans, and now they have rebelled, and they will definitely kill them in the future!" However, someone must take over the maritime trade in the Nanyang area, so your father is very suitable! They are all accustomed to the trade of licking blood with knives at sea, and if they do it, they will naturally be handy. ”
For the Pu family and other people in Quanzhou, whether they are arrogant or ungrateful, Zhu Han has already heard of it.
This time they occupied Quanzhou and rebelled, and Zhu Han was not surprised at all.
Therefore, he planned to immediately start cleaning up Fujian after returning to Jinling, kill all the remnants of Islam in Quanzhou, and then completely control the maritime trade between Nanyang and the West in his own hands.
This not only requires the cooperation of local Fujian maritime businessmen, but also needs to have their own team.
Zhu Han calculated and felt that after the pirates in Shandong were co-opted, they could participate on their behalf.
Tamna Island, which was later known as Jeju Island.
It also has another name in history called Zhouhu, and the people on the island are called Zhouhu people.
They did not have the same origins as the Koreans and the Wakoku people in the east, and they were never in the same circle.
Historically, Tamna Island has always been an independent existence, and they have their own island country called Tamna Kingdom, and the monarch is called the Star Lord.
It wasn't until the Song Dynasty that Goryeo on the peninsula annexed the tiny island nation.
Soon after, the Mongols rose up, and in order to attack the Wa Kingdom in the east, they marched into Tamna Island from the Korean Peninsula and set up the Tamna Military and Civilian Administration.
The Mongols raised a large number of horses on the island and built pastures in the area, which soon became the base of the Mongols' eastward conquest of the Japanese kingdom.
The Goryeo people on the peninsula have always regarded Tamna Island as their own territory, and they have always dared not speak out against the Mongols' forcible occupation.
However, even at such a weak time, the Goryeo people often asked the Yuan emperor for sovereignty over Tamna, but they were generally ignored by the Mongols.
Tamna Island is a volcanic island, the area is about the same as Chongming Island in later generations, but it is slightly larger.
The topography of the island is high in the middle and low on all sides.
Mt. Halla, the highest peak in Tamna Island, is about 1,000 meters tall, which is almost equivalent to the altitude of Mount Tai.
From a distance, it can be regarded as majestic.
The island is surrounded by the ocean on all sides, which brings warm and moist rain, and the large amount of volcanic ash deposited by the volcanic island makes the soil very fertile.
Compared to the barren Goryeo Peninsula, it is simply a treasure of feng shui.
The horse farm set up by the Mongols here made use of the fertile land to grow pasture and feed nearly 100,000 horses.
As the head of the Tamna Military and Civilian Administration, Boyan Timur has been very depressed recently.
According to the news from the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Great Yuan army was defeated in the face of various rebel armies in the Central Plains, and even the Goryeo people began to disrespect the Great Yuan.
The attitude of the Goryeo people towards the Tamna Military and Civilian Governor's Office was no longer as respectful as before, which made Boyan Timur notice some abnormalities.
These Goryeo people, who were usually as honest as quails and shy about the Mongols, have recently repeatedly shirked the demands of the Tamna Military and Civilian Governorate's Office, not only refusing to continue to provide Tamna Island with daily necessities such as grain, grass, and cloth, but also repeatedly asking the Tamna Governor's Office to open their pastures.
The Koreans wanted to buy the cloth and grain necessary for the island in exchange for the horses of the governor's office.
The horses on this island are all the property of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and of course the Tamna Military and Civil Administration will not easily exchange them for the Goryeo.
As for the ambition of the Goryeo people to annex Tamna, the Mongols of Boyan Timur were naturally very clear.
They ordered martial law on Tamna Island, patrolling around Tamna Island with 3,000 Mongol cavalry, and did not allow Goryeo ships to approach Tamna Island.
However, essential daily necessities such as cloth, grain, and salt on Tamna Island soon faced a considerable shortage.
In response to this situation, Boyan Timur could only order to grit his teeth and persevere, and at the same time send a fast boat to ask for assistance from the imperial court of the capital in the north.
Boyan Timur wanted Emperor Dayuan to order a reprimand of the Goryeo monarchs and ministers, so that they should be honest and not think of some ambitions and delusions that did not suit their vassal status.
This day, early in the morning.
Boyan Timur led a dozen cavalry patrolling the coast of Tamna Island, and he looked out to sea, hoping to see ships coming up from Dadu, preferably to bring much-needed food and cloth and other winter supplies on Tamna Island.
If these necessities are not replenished within a month, many horses and personnel on the island will face serious problems surviving the winter.
The mist on the sea in the early morning obscures the view.
Boyan Timur and the others looked up, but they couldn't see anything except the vast sea water.
Just as Boyan Timur was about to turn his horse's head and return to the governor's palace to roast and drink.
Suddenly, one of his cavalrymen pointed to the sea in the distance and said loudly.
"Look, sir! What is that? ”
"There's a ship coming?"
"It seems to be!"
Boyan Timur and others hurriedly stretched their necks to look.
I saw that through the thin mist on the faint sea surface, there were white sails on one side, and they were getting closer and closer to Tamna Island.
"Great, there is really a ship, it must have been sent by the imperial court to support us!" Boyan Timur shouted excitedly.
He then ordered his men to go back and gather all the cavalry to prepare for the supplies on the shore.
Because from a distance, those ships should all be big ships, and since they are big ships, they must be from the Mengyuan court, because the sailors of Goryeo cannot be so large-scale.
As the ships approached, Boyan Timur began to realize that something was not quite right.
Because these ships did not fly the flag of Meng Yuan, nor did they fly any wolf-headed flag,
If it is a general of the sailors, there will definitely be a banner of official position.
Soon, Boyan Timur saw that the ships did not seem to be very familiar with the hydrographic topography of Tamna Island, because the fleet sent a number of small boats to start reconnaissance along the waters around Tamna Island.
Obviously, they were coming for the first time and didn't have any guides.
Boyan Timur couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
"No, if the imperial court sends reinforcements, there will definitely be a guide from the Goryeo, and besides, even if there is no guide, you can send a small boat to come ashore to pick it up, how can you send a boat to patrol it yourself?"
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Boyan Timur immediately ordered all cavalry to be under martial law and lit beacons to prevent the ships from approaching.
Later, he sent someone to release a boat to ask the other party about the details.
On the island of Boyan Timur there were only more than 3,000 Mongol cavalry.
Although they are known as the Mongol cavalry, they have not had any combat experience for decades, and in this quiet and peaceful island of Tamna, in addition to letting the horses drink and eat meat every day, the rest is to sleep, and now they suddenly find that there is still an enemy situation.
For a moment, these Mongols didn't know how to respond, and the island was in chaos.
Boyan Timur worked hard to suppress discipline in the army, allowing them to perform their duties and prepare for battle on Tamna.
With the beacon fire lit on Tamna Island, on the sea in the distance, the Red Turban Army and Naval Division led by Zhu Han were also ready to land and land.
The hydrological conditions around Tamna Island are very complex, and if you do not prepare in advance, you will have to send a small boat to survey the water level.
Otherwise, the ships are in danger of running aground and sinking.
Now that the reconnaissance has been completed, Zhu Han waved his hand and ordered hundreds of warships to move forward.
Among them, ten warships equipped with artillery were the vanguard to move closer to the coast, because although there were many sailors of the Red Turban Army, most of them were restructured from shopping malls that transported goods, and for battles such as landing and landing, it was necessary to use Zhu Han's newly manufactured artillery warships.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
With the roar of artillery!
The Red Turban Army launched a fierce bombardment of the Mongols on Tamna Island on the shore.
"Hold it off for me!"
"Hold it off for me!"
Boyan Timur roared loudly.
With the roar of artillery, the Mongols who had just lined up on the shore and were ready to fight were instantly bombarded.
Many Mongols even gave up their resistance altogether.
Turning the horse's head and fleeing inland.
At this time, as the sea breeze blows, the mist on the sea surface has gradually dissipated.
On the warships of the Red Turban Army's naval divisions, bright red flags were also hoisted high, fluttering in the salty and wet sea breeze.
When the Mongols on Tamna Island saw these Red Turban Army, they were all frightened!
Boyan Timur wanted to try to suppress the morale of his soldiers.
He roared loudly: "These red turban thieves are not easy to deal with at sea, but they are definitely not good at land warfare, we will let them go ashore, and then kill them by surprise!" ”
Boyan Timur led his army far from the shore, hiding behind the woods and hills.
They began to coat their horses with armor and prepared to charge with heavy cavalry, and as soon as the Red Turbans came ashore and penetrated deep into land, Boyan Timur planned to lead his army to launch a deadly assault.
However, it is clear that Boyan Timur's wishful thinking soon came to naught.
After the Red Turban fleet was ready for landing on the shore.
Just made a small stronghold on the coast, and did not venture in.
Subsequently, thousands of naval infantry landed on the shore, and they set up camp on the shore in a posture of entrenchment.
Zhu Han did not go deep into the interior easily, and the Red Turban Army took advantage of the surrounding sand and gravel clods, took out many sacks from the ship and began to fill the sand and soil through the camp.
Soon, a barracks with a diameter of several hundred paces was piled up on the shore.
Seeing this, Boyan Timur was shocked.
If they follow this method of the Red Turbans, it won't be long before they can establish a firm foothold on the shore.
When the time comes to arrange various fortifications such as rejecting horses, the Mongol cavalry on Tamna Island will be even more difficult if they want to drive the Red Turban Army into the sea again.
Faced with this situation, Boyan Timur had no choice but to lead 3,000 Mongolian cavalry to prepare for battle.
With the sound of bullhorns, 3,000 Mongol cavalry slaughtered the Red Turban Army on the coast from all directions.
The Red Turban Army was already in full battle, and after a roar of artillery and muskets, the charge of the three thousand Mongolian cavalry seemed to crash into an invisible wall, and instantly stopped abruptly dozens of steps in front of the Red Turban Army's formation.
A large number of soldiers and horses fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
There were many more Mongol cavalrymen who turned their horses around and fled regardless of the land.
Boyan Timur also wanted to escape, turn the horse's head and escape.
However, a scattered bullet hit his mount, and the furious mount lifted Boyan Timur off his horse.
Boyan Timur fell to the ground, and it took him a while before he regained consciousness.
When he opened his eyes, two bright spears were already on his neck.
Boyan Timur heard the two Red Turban soldiers in front of him shouting loudly.
"Boss, I caught a live one!"
"It seems that he is still a Tartar official!"
Seeing this, Boyan Timur had a painful look on his face and closed his eyes in despair.
Boyan Timur originally made a look of treating death as if he was at home, and he didn't open his mouth when he was killed.
He thought that as a loyal minister of the Great Yuan Dynasty, how could he bow down to the Red Turban Thieves and surrender!
It's just that Boyan Timur's idea of wanting to be loyal made him give up in an instant as the two red turban soldiers rained down their fists.
This should be a loyal minister, not deserved!
"Don't fight!"
"Spare your life! Spare your life! ”
"I say! I say! ”
Boyan Timur pleaded in agony on the ground.
"Count you Tartar acquaintance!"
"Come with me!"
The Red Turban soldiers grabbed the back of Boyan Timur's neck.
As if dragging a dead dog, he dragged him to the Red Turban barracks on the shore.
In the battle just now, Zhu Han didn't even have time to see it clearly, and the Red Turban Army used a round of artillery and musket bombardment to defeat the 3,000 imposing Mengyuan cavalry charge.
Looking at the seashore full of corpses, Zhu Han smiled helplessly.
"This Mongolian is really too weak, but in just a hundred years, it has been so vulnerable."
At this time, Lan Yu led two personal soldiers to Zhu Han's side.
"Deputy marshal, we've caught a Tartar officer!"
"He himself said that Meng Yuan was the head of Tamna Island!" Lan Yu reported loudly.
When Zhu Han heard this, he was immediately surprised.
"Steward? The head of the Tamna Island Military and Civilian Administration? ”
"Yes, sir! That's what this Tartar says! Lan Yu said respectfully.
"Bring it to me!" Zhu Han hurriedly said.
Subsequently, Boyan Timur, who had been beaten like a pig's head, was brought to Zhu Han.
Boyan Timur, who had already been cleaned up, did not hide anything at all.
Waiting for Zhu Han to ask something, he honestly returned to something, and soon confided everything on Tamna Island completely.
Zhu Han learned from Boyan Timur that there were more than 3,000 Mongolian cavalry on Tamna Island, that is, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses directly under the Tamna Military and Civilian Administration, as well as the families and servants of these soldiers and horses, a total of about 10,000 people.
In addition, there are more than 30,000 slaves and civilians on Tamna Island, such as the original Zhouhu, Goryeo, and Wa people, which means that the population of the entire Tamna Island is about the same, more than 40,000.
There are only more than 40,000 people on a huge Tamna Island, which is really a good place with a large area and sparsely populated people, and it is no wonder that the Mongols were able to raise 100,000 horses on this island.
For such an obedient and obedient Boyan Timur, Zhu Han did not embarrass him, he waved his hand and asked Lan Yu to untie this Boyan Timur.
"Boyan Timur, I can spare you from dying, and, not only do I want to spare you from dying, but also give you a chance to live, I will let you go back to gather the old department, let them come to surrender obediently, as long as they come to surrender before sunset tomorrow, this commander will not be guilty of the past, and when the time comes, whether you want to return to Mongolia and Mongolia, or want to defect to my Red Turban Army, I will do what you wish!"
"As long as you surrender, you will not be harmed, and your property will not be robbed!"
"The horses on Tamna Island must be left for me!"
"Whoever doesn't surrender, or wants to kill the horses on Tamna, then I will consider it a rebellion against me! Tamna Island, no matter who ...... I'm all chickens and dogs! ”
Zhu Han's words, both soft and hard, made Boyan Timur realize that it was a chance to live!
Boyan Timur secretly said in his heart: It turns out that these Red Turban Army came to attack Tamna Island in order to snatch the horses on Tamna Island, as long as they obediently hand over tens of thousands of horses on Tamna Island, then everyone's lives can basically be saved!
Seeing this, Boyan Timur hurriedly agreed loudly.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely go and surrender them."
The Mongols on Tamna Island had already been frightened after being educated with artillery and muskets.
After Bayan Timur was released, he soon found the hiding place of these Mongols.
After a simple persuasion by Boyan Timur, all the Mongols on Tamna Island obediently came out and surrendered.
At this time, the Red Turban Army had already completed the landing of tens of thousands of people, and controlled the surrounding ports to the sea, as well as some transportation arteries that could overlook Tamna Island.
The military and civilian governorship city on Tamna Island has also been occupied by the Red Turban Army.
If the Mongols wanted to live, they had to come out and surrender.
Otherwise, when winter comes, they will not be able to survive the mountains and forests of Tamna Island no matter what.
Early the next morning, more than 2,000 Mongol soldiers assembled, with their respective weapons and horses, and came to the city of Tamna, and obediently surrendered to the Zhu Han Red Turban Army here.
Zhu Han led the Red Turban Army to quickly take control of the entire Tamna Island.
In the choice of staying and going later, most of the Mongols on Tamna Island chose to leave, and they left Tamna Island and prepared to return to the Liaoyang Province in the northeast.
However, Zhu Han naturally couldn't send them that far.
He simply sent ships to bring these Mongols from Tamna Island to the Goryeo Peninsula.
First of all, on the one hand, it is to fulfill his promise not to kill a prisoner and let them leave freely.
On the other hand, it is also hoped that these Mongols will go to the land of Goryeo to spread the news of the arrival of the Red Turban Army, and to shock the hearts of the military and the people of Goryeo.
However, in addition to most of the Mongols who chose to leave, there are some Mongols who are afraid to go back.
For example, a small number of Mongol generals such as Boyan Timur did not dare to return to the Great Yuan Dynasty.
They were defeated and surrendered before the battle, which is basically a capital crime, and if they return at this time, they will 100% go to find death, even if they have a hard backstage and relationship, I am afraid they will be killed and sacrificed to the sky.
After all, the Great Yuan Dynasty has been losing recently.
Boyan Timur led more than 100 people under his command and stayed under Zhu Han's camp to choose to serve.
For this Mongolian who is willing to obediently be the 'leading party', Zhu Han also showed a very tolerant attitude.
"The Reborn Financial Giant"
Zhu Han not only gave Boyan Timur a thousand-household official position, but also appointed him as the deputy governor of Tamna Island to help Zhu Han continue to control the Goryeo residents on the island.
After all, this Boyan Timur has been operating on Tamna Island for many years.
Although the combat level is a little weaker, I am still very familiar with the situation on the island.
This Boyan Timur is proficient in Goryeo, Chinese, and even the Japanese dialect of Dongbian'er, he can listen to it.
For such a linguistic genius, it is definitely a natural 'translator' material.
Zhu Han naturally looks the other way, and Tamna Island is an important place for maritime transportation.
The Koreans are eyeing Tamna Island.
Moreover, the Japanese people in the east also have wandering Japanese pirates from time to time to carry out sneak attacks.
Therefore, it is necessary to deploy at least 3,000 men and horses on this island to be able to consolidate the security of this place.
Boyan Timur, who had just taken office, immediately put forward his views on the defense of Tamna Island to Zhu Han with a very conscientious 'leading party' mentality.
"Dashuai, the biggest threat to Tamna Island is not actually from the Japanese from the sea, but from Goryeo, which is close at a short time."
"The ambition of the Korean people for Tamna Island has been a knot in their hearts for a hundred years!"
Boyan Timur's words made Zhu Han completely understand the ambitions of the Goryeo people, and he would definitely not sit idly by and watch the Red Turban Army capture Tamna Island.
Every time they wanted to swallow Tamna Island completely, they would be hindered from the outside.
Previously, the Mongols directly swallowed Tamna Island into their stomachs and set up a military and civilian administration, which had already made Goryeo angry.
Now the Mengyuan court is weak and abnormal.
has even shown a declining trend of exhaustion, and Goryeo has already begun to do things in secret.
They want to use all kinds of methods to seize Tamna Island, and they will soon launch an attack on the Red Turban Army on Tamna Island.
The ambitions of the Koreans for Tamna Island were disturbed by Zhu Han's sideways, and Boyan Timur thought that the Koreans would definitely come to find trouble.
Zhu Han smiled when he heard this, "Even if the Goryeo people don't come to make trouble, I still have to go to them for trouble!" ”
Now that the weather is late autumn, winter is about to pass, and the supplies on Tamna Island are still very insufficient.
Therefore, if Zhu Han wanted to hoard grain and grass supplies for the defenders on Tamna Island, the fastest and most convenient way was to grab it from the Koreans.
Zhu Han had already decided to complete further military operations against Goryeo before the onset of winter.
After some statistics, Zhu Han captured Tamluo Island this time, harvested more than 30,000 people on the island, and more than 90,000 Mongolian horses, among which the advantages can be called excellent war horses, the number accounts for about 30%, that is, more than 30,000 war horses, and the rest of the horses are old and weak and foals, which are also barely usable horses.
In terms of horses alone, Zhu Han has already made a lot of money!
After Boyan Timur's calculations, Zhu Han still needed about 100,000 stone of grain and grass.
Because these grains and grasses should not only be eaten by people, but also used to fatten and fatten horses, so that horses can survive the winter.
The 100,000 stone of grain needed by Tamna Island is nothing for a rich place like Jiangnan, but it is a very large amount for Goryeo, a place where it is so poor that it is full of clear soup.
"100,000 quintals of grain, except for the capital of Goryeo, Kaegyeong, there are few other places that can have so many reserves!" Mongolian Belt and Road Party Boyan Timur said.
"And even if there is, it is often a city fortress heavily guarded by Goryeo, and it will be difficult to capture it without attacking the city for a month or two!" Goryeo led the way, and Kwon Qian said.
Most of the cities in Goryeo have the advantage of steep terrain, unlike the cities of the plains, which can deploy a large number of armies.
"Tens of thousands of troops are often besieging the city, and each attack can only have three or two thousand people on the front!" Boyan Timur said.
Zhu Han nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Our army has captured Tamna this time, and it is as brave as a heavenly soldier and a general, and I think that the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo should also be able to know the strength of my Red Turban Army!" I plan to salute first and then soldiers, and send someone to Goryeo first, so that those Goryeo monarchs and ministers can be benefited! ”
"Let them understand that as long as they are willing to surrender obediently, give up their vassal status to Mengyuan, and offer another 100,000 stone of grain and grass to our army, then we can stop attacking Goryeo and let Goryeo continue to enjoy peace."
As long as the Goryeo were able to relinquish their allegiance to the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan province of Liaoyang would face military pressure from the Goryeo side.
In this way, the Mengyuan court would not dare to mobilize the troops of Liaoyang Province and go to the Central Plains to suppress the Red Turban Army.
Zhu Han did this, even if he achieved another goal of this trip.
Subsequently, he selected two natives who could speak Chinese from among the Goryeo who had surrendered on Tamna Island.
Zhu Han appointed them as envoys and sailed to Goryeo with letters he had sent.
However, this messenger was very unlucky.
They did not see the king of Goryeo at all.
Soon after they set foot on Goryeo soil, they were captured by Choi Ying, a Goryeo general who had led a large army.
If you want to talk about this Goryeo general Cui Ying, it is a famous family of thousands of years in Goryeo.
The Goryeo Choi clan claimed to be from the Cheonghae Choi clan of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and their ancestors fled to the Korean Peninsula during the Wuhu Rebellion, and have continued to multiply to this day, becoming one of the few great nobles in the Goryeo Kingdom.
Historically, Cui Ying is a generation of famous generals in Goryeo.
He once led the Goryeo army into the Central Plains and helped the Mengyuan court suppress the rebellions of the rebels in various places.
Of course, in other words, Cui Ying is also a Mengyuan dog leg whose hands are also stained with the blood of the Han people in the Central Plains.
This Cui Ying is proud of her high skills.
For the Mengyuan court was repeatedly defeated by the Red Turban Army, he had already been very contemptuous, and even Cui Ying secretly wrote to the king of Goryeo several times, wanting the king of Goryeo to take advantage of the weakness of the Mengyuan court to attack the territory of the Mengyuan Dynasty to the north, at least to annex the territory of the Yalu River in Changbai Mountain, and the former shame of the Goryeo Dynasty.
Although Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, did not have the courage to carry out Cui Ying's series of radical actions, he did trust Cui Ying's loyalty very much, and promoted him to be the superintendent of Jeolla Province and Yang Guangdao Province in Goryeo.
Not long ago, Zhu Han captured Tamna Island and then released a large number of Mongol captives and returned to Goryeo land.
These Mongol captives soon spread the news of the Red Turbans' capture of Tamna throughout Goryeo.
King Wang Qi of Goryeo sent Choi Ying to lead his army south to prepare for the defense of Jeolla Province and Yangguang Province, and took full authority to handle all military affairs in the two places to prevent the Red Turban Army from attacking Goryeo.
As soon as Choi Ying and his army arrived in Jeonju in Jeolla Province, they met an envoy sent by Zhu Han.
Cui Ying detained the messenger without saying a word, and seized the letter, Cui Ying first checked the content of the letter, and then sent someone to Kaijing.
In Zhu Han's own opinion, Zhu Han's letter of persuasion is based on strength, which is basically objective and to the point, and it does not use any insulting words against the Goryeo monarchs and ministers very arrogantly.
After all, it is a letter of persuasion, which is not polite, but it is definitely neutral and peaceful.
But in Cui Ying's opinion, this letter is simply proof of the arrogance of the Red Turban Army.
Cui Ying did not have any problem with asking Goryeo to turn his back on the Mengyuan court, because he himself was extremely dissatisfied with the submission of the Mengyuan court.
But Zhu Han's request was to let the Goryeo Kingdom betray the Mengyuan court, and then change to the Red Turban Army to claim the tribute, which made Cui Ying angry, and he also needed to let the poor Goryeo State provide 100,000 grains and grass, which was simply 'tolerable or unbearable'.
Sure enough, the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo all have the same arrogant urine.
When Cui Ying sent someone to deliver the letter to Kaijing City, Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, was also furious when he saw the content of the letter, and he was furious on the spot, knocking over the table in the palace of Kaijing to the ground.
"These red turban thieves! It's so arrogant! ”
"It's just arrogant!"
"Is this the Goryeo Kingdom that treats me for 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains as an incompetent person like a pig and a dog?!"
Wang Qi, the monarch of Goryeo, shouted angrily in the court.
After some circulation, several important ministers of the Goryeo Kingdom also knew the contents of this letter.
They were also very surprised by the Red Turban Army's action to seize Tamna Island.
But what surprised them even more was ...... The Mongols on Tamna Island were so vulnerable that they were defeated by the Red Turban Army in a casual day.
The Goryeo monarchs and ministers are all very remorseful at this time!
Knowing that the Mongols on Tamna Island were so weak, the Goryeo monarchs and ministers had already rolled up their sleeves and went into battle on Tamna Island to seize the territory in person. What a pity! In vain, let the Red Turban Army pick up the cheap.
No one could have imagined......
The Mongolian iron rider who swept the world back then is now a sick cat.
In today's Goryeo Dynasty, in addition to the King of Goryeo, the ministers who are really in power are ministers such as Ki Zhe and Lu Che.
According to the original history of Goryeo, there should also be a name of Kwon Kyong.
However, today's Kwon Qian was captured when he led his army to attack the Red Turban Army, and then rebelled, and has become a stinky shit in Goryeo.
In the face of the anger of Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, Qi Zhe, the minister of Goryeo, immediately jumped out and said.
"Great King, the Red Turban Army killed people and set fire to the territory of Dayuan, and did all kinds of evil, and now they are arrogant and rebellious, and dare to offend my Great Goryeo Kingdom, at this time, we must not spare these people who are not thieves!"
"The minister asks the king to give an order, and immediately gather the whole country to fight against the red turban thieves on Tamna Island! You must not accede to these unreasonable demands! ”
Qi Zhe is the brother of the Empress Dowager Qi of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
He had lived in the Yuan Dynasty for many years, and was considered a standard spiritual Mongol, loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, even greater than the Goryeo Kingdom.
After all, the Yuan Dynasty also granted him official positions such as Pingzhang Political Affairs and Dasitu of Liaoyang Province.
Qi Zhe is regarded as a first-class powerful minister in Goryeo, and even Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, has to look at his face.
The king of Goryeo disagreed with him politically on weekdays, and the 'pro-Yuan faction' such as Qi Zhe often sang against the king of Goryeo.
It's just that this time, in the face of the aggressive posture of the Red Turban Army, Qi Zhe, a powerful minister who loves to sing the opposite tune, actually supports the puppet king of Goryeo, and has a loyal minister style of 'the king humiliates the minister to death'.
With the support of Qizhi, the rest of the 'pro-Yuan faction' ministers who supported the Yuan Dynasty such as Lu Che also expressed their implores to Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, to send troops to defeat the Red Turban Army.
As for sending troops to Tamna Island, Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, was also very happy about this.
In this way, the whole country of Goryeo can be said to be a monarch and a minister, and they all feel that the Red Turban Army's capture of Tamna Island this time is not to say how strong the Red Turban Army is, but that the Mongols on Tamna Island are incompetent.
The Goryeo monarchs and ministers all felt that the Mongols had been peaceful for a long time, and they had already been decayed without any major wars for decades, so they were picked up by the Red Turban Army.
Now, the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo are united!
It is completely possible to defeat the red turban thieves on Tamna Island with a thunderous blow.
The monarchs and ministers of the Goryeo Kingdom have inquired clearly, although the Red Turban thieves on Tamna Island have hundreds of warships, most of which are merchant ships for transportation, and their soldiers and horses are not very large, only about 10,000 people, and the total number of troops that the Goryeo Kingdom can mobilize is almost nearly 100,000.
However, with 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is definitely impossible to dispatch them all.
100,000 people, that's too much, even if you don't do anything, just eating and drinking can eat and drink the treasury of Goryeo to the point that the rats are moving in tears.
So the king of Goryeo finally prepared to send an army of 25,000 men!
The army of 25,000 people will be led by Choi Ying, the first general of the Goryeo Kingdom!
The monarch of Goryeo, Wang Qi, quickly ordered!
Let Cui Ying gather 25,000 soldiers and horses in Jeonju Province and prepare to cross the sea to attack Tamna Island.
As for the envoy from the seized island of Tamna, Wang Qi, the king of Goryeo, ordered that this traitor be directly tortured, first tattooing and humiliating the face of this 'Goryeo traitor', then breaking his hands and feet with a stick, and finally expelling him back to report to Zhu Han, so as to humiliate the Red Turban Army.
Tamna.
When Zhu Han saw the envoy who was broken and put back with a miserable face, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, although these two envoys were not the Red Turban Army themselves, but just Goryeo natives on Tamna Island, but they also represented the Red Turban Army and his Zhu Han's face.
The monarchs and ministers of Goryeo were so arrogant and dared to humiliate themselves so much.
It seems that he can't teach them a good lesson, and the Koreans don't know how many catties and taels they are.
As for how to retaliate against the Goryeo Kingdom, Zhu Han convened a group of generals to discuss.
Zhu Han had already guessed that the Red Turban Army had already formed a united front with the 'pro-Yuan faction' and the 'anti-Yuan faction' in Goryeo this time.
They must have wanted to take this opportunity to snatch Tamna Island out of their hands.
Zhu Han smiled coldly and said, "The whole country of Goryeo is unreasonable, and we must teach them a good lesson!" ”
"This Tamna Island has been my Chinese territory since ancient times! What does it have to do with them, they dare to behave like this, they are really looking for death! Zhu Han sneered.
Zhu Han's original judgment of the attitude of the Goryeo monarchs and ministers seems to have been deviated.
He originally thought that even if the Goryeo monarchs and ministers did not agree to the conditions of betraying the Yuan and joining the Red Turban Army and providing grain and grass, they should be able to put forward other conditions, so that the two sides could enter one
Discuss.
After all, as long as the Goryeo Kingdom can show an unstable attitude, the Liaoyang Province of the Yuan Dynasty will definitely not dare to act rashly, and will definitely be afraid that Goryeo will be stabbed in the back.
Who knows, the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo are shameless, and they dare to have such an arrogant attitude.
Zhu Han felt that he had to shoot harder, so as to teach Goryeo a lesson, let them know who the real strong man was, and only by subduing them could they obediently accept their fate and become dogs.
