Li Chengyu's 10,000 elite heavy infantry were exhausted, and Dong Shan and Li Manzhu fled along the original route with the remaining 3,000 Jurchen warriors.

It was easy to run through Gushan, and it was about to escape into Anbian City, not long after Dong Shan and Li Manzhu were happy, the ambush soldiers fought again.

Dong Shan and Li Manzhu were both shocked and angry: "What ambush, where did the ambush come from?" ”

It's no wonder that the two of them were angry, normal people would never have dreamed that it would be enough for the Ming army to refuse to take the opportunity to attack North Korea, and even in turn to kill friendly soldiers for meritorious service.

But the Ming army didn't think so, for the Ming army, the Jurchen head was the same as a military merit.

Moreover, Dong Shan and Li Manzhu were unlucky, and the Ming army that entered the dynasty had been fighting in the south for many years and was extremely good at mountain warfare. After hiding in Tibet for three days with the remnants of the defeated army, the two finally lost their footing and were captured.

After the defeat at Dongsan, Lee Cheng Yu's troops jumped eastward into the mountains, intending to pass through Paju and Cheorwon to Anbyon, and then quickly return to Hamgyong Province.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army waited for the rabbit to be on the border, waited for work, and easily defeated Li Chengyu's troops.

After five days of struggle and escape, Li Chengyu was also captured.

Next, the Ming army and the North Korean side began to redeploy.

The line between Pyongyang and Anbian went north and returned to the Ming army.

To the south, the new Joseon king, Yi Gil, occupied Gyeonggi, and the Maharaja Geumseong and Anpyeong occupied Gyeongsang and Jeolla provinces.

Li Yao's Kaesong army was unable to fight again for a while, so it could only step up its rest and recuperate, and at the same time build fortifications and consolidate the defensive line.

The Korean war situation has entered a short-term stalemate.

On the sixth day of August, the Ming army's battle report was transmitted back to Beijing.

When he got up early in the morning, Zhu Qiyu held Linglong in his arms, and listened to Qianxue's military report while eating milk.

After hearing Jiang Yuan and Fang Ying's strange operation, Zhu Qiyu didn't come up in one breath, and choked directly on milk, lying on the couch and coughing constantly.

Several favorite concubines hurriedly gathered over for a beating, and it took Zhu Qiyu a long time to recover.

After drinking a cup of hot tea and completely gasping for breath, Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "What's wrong with my husband, how old are you and still like a child, you can choke on milk." ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "The Ming army in North Korea is really ridiculous, they didn't attack Li Jin, but they wiped out Li Chengyu and Dong Shan, who also attacked Li Jin.

Then they reported to me with a shy face, saying that they had eliminated the puppet Dajin Emperor and the rebellious Jurchen Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Zuowei, and wanted me to greatly reward them.

It really made me laugh angrily, so they picked up the leaks on the battlefield and picked soft persimmons. also gave Li Yao, who was running out of water, a new life.

Just look at these old Beijing soldiers, they are all veteran oils, it is better to be better than our pro-army, even those Guangxi wolf soldiers who opened up territory for the Ming Dynasty in the south are not comparable.

They are not the same as the Liaodong Army, they either can't fight, or they are pure oil and don't want to contribute. ”

Lin Xiangyu still had doubts: "The husband said that Li Yao was almost exhausted, so wouldn't it be better for the Ming army to directly defeat North Korea?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "You don't understand the psychology of joining the Ming army in Korea, they think that they have the chance to win and can defeat North Korea with one force, so they want to fight slowly, so as to gain enough benefits in the war." It's a bit of self-respect. ”

"Raising your own respect?"

"Not only that, but on the premise of ensuring my own safety, it also gives me the meaning of anger and chaos.

I deposed their beloved orthodox emperor, and seeing that the crown prince couldn't keep it, it was strange that they had no opinion in their hearts. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "What else can I do, compromise, admit that they have won a big victory, hype and reward."

Anyway, I told them in advance that Japan would send troops to resist the Ming and aid Korea, and they refused to believe it, so it wasn't my problem.

Oh, and ah, we have to quickly increase the number of troops into the DPRK, and one of the upper guards in Nanjing is counted as one, and all of them will be sent to take North Korea in one fell swoop.

The news of the great victory was published in the newspapers, so that the people of Beijing knew the bravery of the Ming army in the dynasty. ”

……

The next day, the newspaper was sent out.

Most people can't see the doorway, only know that the Korean Ming army won a great victory, killed 20,000 enemy troops, captured Li Chengyu, who pretended to be the Dajin Emperor, and attached to the rebellion of Jianzhou Wei, Jianzhou Left Guard commanders Dong Shan and Li Manzhu.

Originally, the surrender of the 30,000 Liaodong Army to North Korea made the government and the opposition question, but this time a big victory re-stabilized the hearts of the people.

Now the atmosphere of the government and the opposition has become more strange, as long as it is not the emperor's descendant, almost all of them are watching and waiting, hoping that the emperor will lose.

Loyalty to the Xuanmiao and the orthodox emperor was not the main factor, but the reluctance to see the emperor's prestige become unattainable.

Almost, if you win again, the emperor's prestige is too high, and it is conceivable that when the time comes, it will become a hall of words when Taizu Taizong was in the past.

Forget about the word, I'm afraid that the emperor will do something to officials and gentry.

Therefore, the government and the opposition have been quiet, and almost no one has stood up against the emperor recently. Everyone wants to be silent and wait for the moment.

The cabinet is relatively different, and the important ministers are tempted by the pie of Zhongxing famous ministers drawn by the emperor, but they are still willing to work hard.

Moreover, recently, the emperor ignored the affairs of the general affairs and gave the important ministers great autonomy, and the power of the cabinet and the six ministries became greater than that in the middle and late stages of the orthodox dynasty.

Rather than fighting against the emperor, the important ministers were more inclined to fight for power within the cabinet and the six ministries.

For example, Wei Ji and Shen Yi are pushing the household department to manage the treasury and taxes in a unified manner. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War had to maintain their own small coffers. As one of the important contents of the reform, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War began to show signs of struggle.

There is also a criminal ministry to carry out legal reform and formulate the "Civil Code" proposed by the emperor, but the Ministry of Rites is more resistant to this. The Ministry of Rites wanted to educate the people, and put part of the power of interpretation in the hands of the gentry, rather than the government taking full control of the judicial power.

Regarding the subtle changes in the court situation, Zhu Qiyu is very insightful, but he doesn't want to care.

It is also beneficial for the cabinet and the six ministries to fight a little, and not to mention the task of standardizing the distribution of power and carrying out the reform of official governance, Zhu Qiyu intends to leave it to the next emperor.

People's mental strength is limited, and if they have done everything, they will not be exhausted to death.

In the cabinet, Wang Wen had a bitter face. Recently, his beloved Emperor His Majesty was almost like a god, but he still gave a small problem.

The emperor made a slight 'little' reform of the appointment of the Yan Guan: in the future, whether it was the appointment of the six branches to the Shizhong or the imperial history of each province, the appointed officials were required to have served as county magistrates for at least three years and had good performance.

Those who have no experience in government are not allowed to be spokespersons.

Zhu Qiyu must fundamentally restrain the empty talk of officials.
