During the Hongwu Dynasty, the king of Goryeo saw that the Ming Dynasty had set up Tielingwei on the border, and the sense of crisis in his heart increased sharply, and he ordered Li Chenggui to be the general and sent troops to invade Liaodong.

After Li Chenggui learned about this, everyone was stupid, let me lead the troops to fight the Ming Dynasty? Why don't you go!

North Korea's terrain is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can resist stubbornly every time it invades, but if you send troops to the outside world, isn't it a bit floating?

However, as a courtier, Li Chenggui had to symbolically lead his troops in the direction of Liaodong, and halfway through the march, he applied to the king of Goryeo for withdrawal on the grounds that the river was overflowing, but was rejected by the king of Goryeo, and later he applied for withdrawal again on the grounds of shortage of grain and grass, and was once again rejected by the king of Goryeo.

Li Chenggui thought to himself, what is the difference between attacking Daming and letting me go to death, to attack Daming is dead, and if I return to China to rebel, maybe there is still a way to live, too, Lao Tzu simply reversed!

So, Li Chenggui, who was halfway through the army, led his troops back to Kaijing on Weihua Island, launched a mutiny to overthrow the rule of the King of Goryeo, and established the Joseon Dynasty, that is, the "Li Dynasty".

However, the rebel Joseon Taizu Li Chenggui himself did not fall well, after he rebelled, his fifth son Li Fangyuan also learned to rebel, originally just with the idea of giving it a try, but I didn't expect that a rebellion was really successful.

Relying on the great victories of the two princes' rebellions, Li Fangyuan pushed his father off the throne and became the monarch of the Li Dynasty.

……

Kaijing, Shizifu

Rows of white doves flew over the blue sky, and one of them fluttered twice and landed in the courtyard.

Song Jiucheng, who served as a staff member in the Shizi Mansion, leaned down and reached out to hold the wings of the white pigeon, which turned out to have scarlet notes wrapped around the paws of the white pigeon, which were the same color as the claws, and it was difficult to find if you didn't look closely.

Most of the birds in North Korea are pigeons, especially in Gyeonggi Province, where pigeons are infested and no one pays attention to such an inconspicuous pigeon.

Song Jiucheng opened the note, which was densely packed with tiny encrypted text, and after reading it, he swallowed the note into his stomach without a sigh of emotion, and stood up like nothing.

His ancestors were from Liaodong, and later moved to North Korea, and the three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren were officials in the Goryeo Dynasty and the Li Dynasty.

The Li Dynasty was nominally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the king of Joseon was at the same level as the king of the county, and the prince of the Li Dynasty was actually the crown prince of the Joseon state.

"Jin Yiwei, what a strange word."

Song Jiucheng muttered to himself, "I thought that after Taizu died, we, the Jinyi guards, had long been forgotten by the imperial court. ”

This Taizu does not refer to the North Korean Taizu Lee Sung-gye.

It's Ming Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang!

Song Jiucheng always remembered that in addition to the identity of the staff of the Li Dynasty Prince's Mansion, he also had another identity.

- Jin Yiwei.

His Jinyiwei, who has been an official in North Korea for three generations, is afraid that if he is not reactivated now, he will probably hide his identity until he is forgotten by everyone.

"The person who inherited Taizu's will is actually the son of King Yan." Song Jiucheng closed his eyes lightly, "Whether it's Jianwen, Yongle, or King Qi, we, the secret piles of Jinyiwei, are always loyal to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, except for the surname Zhu, nothing else matters." ”

……

After Zhu Gaoxian came to Liaodong, he became the supreme commander of the northeast region of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not set up his marshal mansion in the more familiar Jianzhou, but stayed in Guangning Mansion in Liaodong.

If you want to drive the 300,000 Liaodong Army like an arm, it is most suitable to command the operation in Liaodong itself, not to mention that the naval division is still in Lushunkou in the south of Liaodong, and if you want to mobilize Lushunkou at the first time, you must issue an order in Liaodong.

In today's Northeast, it is Zhu Gaoxian who represents the highest level, and Lu Chaoyang, Liu Rong, and Zheng He, respectively, represent Jinyiwei, Liaodong Army, and Navy Division, and wait for Zhu Gaoxian's orders.

Although his plan was to capture Korea and the Japanese within ten months, after arriving in the northeast, Zhu Gaoxian did not immediately reorganize his troops and horses, but unhurriedly collected intelligence in Quang Ninh.

"The faster the knife is sharpened, the cleaner and neater it can be when you kill."

In the Shuaifu, Zhu Gaoxian took out a document from the desk, and after reading it, he threw it to Lu Chaoyang.

After Lu Chaoyang took the paperwork, he sealed it and lacquered it, and locked it in an iron box.

Any document on this desk is top-secret military information, which involves every move in the Northeast region and is related to the life and death of the sergeants.

Zhu Gaoxian pondered for a moment and asked, "Has Jinyiwei's spy network in the Li Dynasty all been activated?" ”

Lu Chaoyang replied: "Most of them have already started to operate, but our hidden piles in North Korea have been sealed in the dust for 20 years, and after the change of dynasty, some of them have even been completely buried, and it will take a certain amount of time to fully start." ”

"I understand, this king is not in a hurry." Zhu Gaoxian sighed with emotion, "After all, this is the chessboard of twenty years ago, twenty years, even if a quick knife is buried in the soil for twenty years, it will take a long time to smooth out the rust on it, not to mention the secret hand left by my grandfather twenty years ago, and it can still be used for most of it now, this king has already felt very surprised." ”

Zhu Gaoxian closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "This king heard that Li Fangyuan, the king of the Joseon Dynasty of the Li Dynasty, likes his third son, Zhongning Dajun Li Yan?" ”

Lu Chaoyang said: "Yes, the prince of the Li Dynasty is the eldest son of the king of Joseon, Li Zhen, but he does not learn and has no skills, and he messes with the ministers all day long. Li Yan, on the other hand, was known for his studiousness and tirelessness both inside and outside the court, in stark contrast to his eldest brother. The king of Joseon already loves Li Yan, and I am afraid that he already has the idea of changing his son. ”

"The Li Dynasty is such a small place, but there are a lot of hidden hearts and eyes in it." Zhu Gaoxian said contemptuously, "What you just said is all on the table, according to the king, I am afraid that the son of the world, Li Zhen, is more difficult to control than the prince of Zhongning, Li Zhen's mother is the first wealthy family of the Li Dynasty, and the king of Korea, Li Chenggui, is afraid of the prince Li Zhen." ”

"That's true, but that Zhongning Maharaja Li Qi is not a simple person, his father-in-law is Shen Wen, the minister of the Li Dynasty, but compared to the son Li Zhen, this Zhongning Maharaja Li Qi is easier to control......"

Lu Chaoyang's voice paused, as if he had a clear understanding, "Lord Wang, do you think you can start here?" ”

"Isn't what Jinyiwei is best at attacking enemies from within?"

Zhu Gaoxian said calmly, "Back then, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, fought three battles and lost three times, and lost the foundation of the Sui Dynasty. This king is not Emperor Yang of Sui, if I lead the army to attack Korea, there is the most powerful naval division, and there are hundreds of thousands of Liaodong elites, even though the terrain of North Korea is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if this king really wants to attack, how can he Li Dynasty stop me. However, a strong attack is the next policy, and to deal with such a well-defended battle, it is the best policy to attack from the inside. ”

Lu Chaoyang arched his hand in admiration and said: "The prince is high! ”

In terms of how to fight, Lu Chaoyang is not good at this, he is engaged in spy work, not a general who fights a war. If it were up to him to make suggestions, I am afraid he would say: Chen Lu Chaoyang has three strategies, which are the lower strategy, the lower strategy, and the lower strategy......

"The current Li Dynasty can be described as a kingdom built on coal mines." Zhu Gaoxian calculated, "It only takes one fire to make Li Chao ignite a raging flame until Li Chao turns to ashes, but this fire, we need to be careful with our calculations, and you also know that we can't hide the fact that we are stationed in Lushunkou for too long." The North Koreans are not fools either, and unless absolutely necessary, they will unite against the common enemy, which is us. ”

"If you don't make a move, you won't make a move, and if you do, you will kill him."

Zhu Gaoxian said slowly: "In the Li Dynasty, the king of Joseon, Li Fangyuan, the prince of the Joseon, Li Zhen, the prince of Zhongning, and the prince of Zhongning, Li Yan, have reached a strange triangular equilibrium, in the face of absolute superiority, none of them are willing to break this equilibrium, and what we have to do is to intersperse them, let them mess up, set fire to the coal mines below the Li Dynasty Kingdom, and let the fire of civil strife sweep through the dynasty." ”

"This matter is not easy to say, it is not too difficult to say, it is not too difficult, the king of Joseon and the king of Chungnyeong are on the same line, the king of Joseon wants to use the king of Chungnyeong to maintain his power, and the king of Chungnyeong depends on the king of Joseon to obtain the qualification to inherit the throne. It's like a blunt knife cutting meat, they have to slowly consume the prince's son Li Zhen, the process may be very slow, it is impossible to spend three or five years every year, but we can't wait that long. ”

"What we have to do is to speed up this process and force the prince of North Korea, Li Chun, to fight desperately!"

The national war is not only about whose army is more elite, this is a frontal battlefield, but Zhu Gaoxian does not want to fight with Li Chao on the frontal battlefield. Defensive warfare is the natural advantage of the Li Dynasty, and once Zhu Gaoxian announced the start of the war, it seemed to be in a quagmire, either to destroy the Li Dynasty, or to die in the northeast, it is not too difficult to win the battle, and it is also possible to destroy the country, but the losses will exceed the budget, for Zhu Gaoxian, who is well versed in power and strategy, this is a loss-making business.

Take your own shortcomings, attack the strengths of others, and do what fools do.

In fact, from now on, the war between the Ming Dynasty and Korea has already begun, but not on the frontal battlefield, but on the battlefield behind enemy lines.

Zhu Gaoxian does everything without leakage, and never does meaningless things, he took Lu Chaoyang to the northeast, just to give full play to the strength of Jinyiwei, and completely defeat the Li Dynasty on the battlefield behind enemy lines!

Jin Yiwei is the protagonist of this war to destroy the country.

Zhu Gaoxian is like a super-first-class chess player, controlling the chess pieces behind the scenes, constantly advancing the offensive, while the opponent is ignorant, slowly being pulled away little by little and swallowed into his belly.

He is reviewing the layout of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in the Northeast, and he is even better!
