Chapter 35: The Storm in Goryeo

Brother Timur pressed it on the pine box with armor, gritted his teeth and said; "I'm not respectful."

Ye Shen said: "Okay, in the future, the head person will be his own person." I'm not going to talk nonsense. How many people can come out of the head. ”

Brother Timur said; "Three thousand. Three thousand are strong men. It's just that there aren't many weapons. If Da Ming gives me more weapons, I can gather more people. ”

As soon as Ye Shen heard it, he knew that Brother Meng's brother Timur was sloppy.

It's not true.

The tribe of the fierce brother Timur did not have three thousand strong men. There are 3,000 strong tribes, at least 10,000 or 20,000. Now the Mengge Timur Department is far from this point. But all the Jurchen tribes gathered in the upper reaches of the Yalu River can afford to produce three thousand strong men, which is even more than enough.

So what did Brother Meng's Timur do when he said that this number is not up or down?

He wants to be a second-class dealer, or it can be understood as the general contractor of the project, take the order in Daming, and then rely on this list to gather other Jurchen tribes under his command. Or even take advantage of this annexation.

Moreover, the weapons of the Jurchen tribes are very poor, but they are by no means without weapons. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was chaos, order collapsed, I don't know how many weapons were created, and finally disappeared. Moreover, in these unordered places in the Northeast, force is the only reliance.

Even in the south, the people grabbed water and beat their heads and bleed. And where the wolves looked around, the Jurchens said that they had no weapons at all, which was a joke.

It's nothing more than the wool of the Ming Dynasty.

But Ye Shen didn't care.

Now the situation is urgent. I don't care about this bit of wear and tear. The biggest impact of He Xi's arrival on Daming is that in terms of military affairs, it is quite wealthy. I don't care about the wear and tear of weapons at all. Millions of troops Except for those large artillery, it is not enough for the Taiping Iron Works to produce in a year.

And the weapons of these years, especially the armor, as long as they are well maintained, will not be used for hundreds of years.

So in the past few years, starting from Nanjing, a lot of weapons have been piled up in the warehouses of various local departments and health centers. Even a few years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that all guards were originally encouraged to build weapons, but now they are prohibited from building weapons. A large number of craftsmen from the local health center were recruited to Nanjing to participate in the expansion project of the Taiping Iron Works.

I saw the grand scene at any time.

I don't care about these things in front of me.

Ye Shen said; "Well, I still have three hundred sets of armor in my barracks. More than 1,000 knives and guns are all for you. However, I want you to be ready immediately, and in three days' time, come with me. Ordnance before the war to you. ”

Brother Timur said: "Three days? ”

Ye Shen looked at Brother Meng's Timur and said; "It's only three days."

Brother Meng Timur looked at Ye Shen and immediately understood that Ye Shen was not a fool. The reason why they are willing to take such a big advantage for him. It's because there are requirements.

Brother Meng, Timur, felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and said; "Three days, just three days."

------

Brother Meng's brother Timur was still relatively trustworthy, and three days later, he came to the Thousand Households in Yizhou with far more than 3,000 strong men.

The Euiju Senhu Office is a castle on the east bank of the Yalu River, and I don't know when it was built. After Ye Shen came here, he tinkered with it and built a wooden wall outside. That's what it is today. It is not far from Uiju in Goryeo, but it is only one or two miles.

And Goryeo Yiju was Ye Shen's main enemy during this period of time.

In fact, on both sides of the Yalu River, no one is better than the other in terms of population.

The reason is simple, the war is the cause.

Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been several battles here. First of all, the Red Turban Army marched eastward and directly attacked the Goryeo Gyeongshi Division, and was later defeated. Both sides of the Yalu River, no, all the way from the Yalu River to Goryeo Gyeongshi were poisoned. And the situation in Liaodong was also the battle between the Red Turban Army and the Yuan Army at that time, which made it so miserable.

Then, I have to say, the Goryeo family. The empress of Emperor Yuan Shun was from the Goryeo Qi family. They relied on their relationship with Emperor Yuan Shun to usurp the power of the king of Goryeo, and the previous king of Goryeo, Wang Qi, has been tolerating until he heard about the defeat of Tokhtar, knowing that it was impossible for the Yuan Dynasty to draw strength to Goryeo. was overjoyed, and easily wiped out the Goryeo Qi family.

and occupied Xianxing, that is, the Governor's Mansion of Shuangcheng, which was originally the Yuan Dynasty.

But as a result, I don't know how the Yuan court made decisions at that time. Naha, who commanded Liaoyang Province, came out to lead a large army and fought several battles with Goryeo on both sides of the Yalu River. Of course, Nahachu knows that his head is heavy, and most of his energy is on the Ming army, so it makes sense here.

However, as a result of this battle, the former king of Goryeo, Wang Qi, knew that it was impossible for the Yuan court to forgive him. So he tried his best to curry favor with Da Ming. Zhu Yuanzhang was also reluctant to invest in Goryeo to the side of the Yuan court, and after the Yuan court was defeated and retreated to the Central Plains, the Ming and Goryeo quickly entered the honeymoon period.

Wang Qi rejected all the envoys of the Yuan court, used the name of Hongwu year, and sent envoys to meet the court many times.

If Wang Qi has survived to the present, with Wang Qi's attitude towards Daming, this battle cannot be fought at all. But Wang Qi died. And he was killed. It led to a 180-degree turn in the direction of Goryeo diplomacy.

The root knot is that Wang Qi has no son.

Wang Qi's wife is a princess of the Yuan Dynasty. The two have a good relationship. It's just that the princess died early, and she still has two lives. Since then, Wang Qi has no heirs. More than ten years after the death of Princess Lu, Wang Qi finally determined that he was infertile.

So, he made a decision, that is, to find an adopted son.

At this point, there are all sorts of theories. Some people say that he was close to the minister, and he slept with him, both men and women, and the woman gave birth to children. Raised in the minister's house. Others say that he let his concubines have fornication with ministers. Many concubines would rather die than obey, but there are some who obey their fate.

Anyway, since ancient times, peachy news has been a matter of opinion.

Anyway, as a result, he values a child. took the child's biological father and took him into the palace, saying that he was his own son. That is, the current king of Goryeo. But it's not enough to do this thing, because there are still two close ministers who know about this thing.

How can outsiders know about this?

So Wang Qi decided to get rid of these two insiders.

You must know that this kind of secret thing cannot be done by non-cronies. And cronies naturally have a lot of things in their hands on Wang Qi. When these two cronies knew that Wang Qi was going to kill them, they discussed and decided to strike first and kill Wang Qi.

When Hongwu was seven years old, Wang Qi died violently. He was succeeded by his ten-year-old son, Wang Yu. That is, the king of Goryeo today.

Of course, there is a problem here, because it is in the hands of the current king of Goryeo that Yi Sung-gye seized power. Although after the abolition of the king of Goryeo, a new lord was appointed, but there is no doubt that he was a puppet.

And these things are all recorded in the history books of the dynasty and Xian.

True or false. Hardly. Anyway, the most important evidence for Li Chenggui's abolition of Wang Yu is, "Your Excellency is not the son of the Wang family." It's like when Zhou Bo killed the son of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, he didn't know what was good, so he became, "Your Excellency is not the son of Liu." ”

All these things are true or false in the history books of Goryeo. It's hard to tell.

However, this also needs to be made clear. Now this king of Goryeo, only in his early twenties, is when he is young and vigorous, in history, he is forcibly attacking Liaodong, and then by Li Chenggui ascended to the heights, turned against each other, and ended the rule of Goryeo. Start the dynasty-Xian Li dynasty.

And now because of the influence of He Xi.

He Xi's development of Liaodong, especially on the banks of the Yalu River, touched the interests of Goryeo, and Goryeo, who was originally watching from the wall in the battle of the Ming Dynasty to attack Aha, chose to participate in it. However, there was a lot of opposition in Goryeo.

When the battle between Daming and Aha is over. Goryeo had just completed the integration of the army, and the forward had just arrived at the front line of the Yalu River, that is, in the city of Uiju.

It has become an embarrassing situation.

This is normal, the battle between Daming and Anaha has an element of sneak attack. From the beginning of the war to the end, the army withdrew, but it was only about two months. Now Goryeo is preparing to send troops, gather the army, arrange grain and grass, and other preparations. Being able to do it in two months is also a relatively normal efficiency in this era.
