On the ninth day of August, Li Xuan and his party continued on their way.
After crossing the Yalu River, they set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty. The largest city nearby was the station of Ding Liao Guard.
The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Now that the distinguished guest Li Xuan is here, he must be treated with courtesy, so the generals of Dingliao Guard are responsible for welcoming him.
Normally speaking, civilian officials should be responsible for this kind of reception, but Dingliao was too remote and there were few civilians except military households, so there was no local government office.
"I didn't expect that people like us would also have the opportunity to work with His Highness King Xiang," said Shi Jun, the commander of Dingliao Guard.
He is only thirty-five this year, but his face is already covered with ridges and there are many gray hairs between his temples.
Obviously, in this bitter cold place, even as a commander, life is extremely difficult.
Hearing what he said at this moment, the other generals laughed, and then talked about the old things in the northwest battlefield.
After everyone chatted for a while, Li Xuan and his party appeared. They were going to stop here for an hour and then continue on their way after resting.
"The North Koreans have arrived, let's go and greet them," Shi Jun said.
Even the armor, weapons and food supplies of the Mingting Guards are no worse than the most elite troops in North Korea.
To the surprise of the North Korean army, these ordinary Ming soldiers ate well. For example, each person had three steamed buns, two pieces of smoked fish and a bowl of soup for dinner.
"Your king is bedridden, and the prince has also fallen now. You Koreans are too weak," Shi Jun mocked directly.
"Those people in Zuo Yiwei are all trash," Li Xuan scolded angrily.
"Thank you very much"
In order to ensure their safety and guide the way, Dingliao Guards' deputy Qianhu and two hundred soldiers joined his team.
Outside Jinzhou City, I learned that Li Xuan was coming, and the person in charge of welcoming him was the prefect of Jinzhou. After all, he was the highest-ranking civil servant here.
And along the way, the ordinary soldiers of North Korea came into contact with the border troops of the Ming Army Guard Station and gained some understanding of each other.
Li Xuan was familiar with the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, so he could tell at a glance that the official who greeted him was only the fifth grade.
Fortunately, this was just a small episode. After all, Shi Jun did not have as much confidence as Yu Hai. He only asked a few questions and then let him go, and the Korean team was able to enter the city.
North Korea also has its own intelligence agency. Its main spy target is the Ming Dynasty's army, with special emphasis on the deployment and mobilization of border troops.
Of course Li Xuan didn't want to show up, because he suspected that he would be bullied, so it was better to hide and be quiet, although this seemed a bit rude.
The replacement of equipment is of course also under investigation, but Li Xuan, who is in charge of state affairs, has not received any news.
In today's Ming Dynasty, Jin Yiwei has constant problems, and Zuo Yiwei has learned these things.
Counter-intuitively, many things in the worldIt's not about comparing who is better, but who is worse.
Zhu Jinghong did not ask the Chief Secretary and the Inspectors of Liaodong to come to Jinzhou because he felt that it was enough for the prefect to receive them.
"Perhaps it was after King Xiang took office that the weapons and armor were changed to the border troops," Zheng Quanzhi, the commander of Yiwei, the prince, explained.
Zheng Quanzhi really saw that what he said just now was just to smooth things over. At this time, he only regretted that he should not talk more.
Obviously compared to Jin Yiwei, North Korea's Zuo Yiwei is worse.
But Li Xuan, who had settled down, was in a very bad mood at this time.
The Zuo Yiwei he mentioned was a palace guard on the surface, but he was actually doing the job of the Jin Yiwei.
Fortunately, we have arrived in Jinzhou. There is no need to rush in the next few days, so Li Xuan can have a good rest. As for the return journey, he can go slower.
This time Li Xuan traveled, accompanied by attendants and guards, totaling five to six hundred people, so settling in after entering the city was quite troublesome.
He has understood Zhu Jinghong's intention, so he will not show any hospitality to the guests coming from afar.
Spying on intelligence is not part of his job, so he doesn't really need to explain.
After staying in Dingliao for an hour and taking a brief rest, Li Xuan's team was able to continue on their way.
In this way, North Korea needs to re-examine the strength comparison between itself and Ming Dynasty, and redefine the response relationship.
Because they were traveling in such a hurry, Li Xuan and his wife were exhausted to the extreme, so much so that they never had any private communication.
"This is Mingting's frontier army. It is at the middle or lower level in its combat order. How can it have such a supply?" Li Xuan was speechless.
Although Li Xuan was angry, he also knew that his father's decision was needed to move Zuo Yiwei, so he could only report the situation and opinions.
Fortunately, I had a plan in advance and everything was implemented in an orderly manner.
At this time, Li Xuan said in a gloomy tone, "General Zheng, you are from the army. You can tell if you have newly issued armor."
Shi Jun asked, "Your prince, Why didn't he show up?"
When Shi Jun came out of the city gate, Li Xuan's team had already stopped here, and a North Korean official had come forward to negotiate.
"We have made arrangements, and the prince can go to the city to rest," Shi Jun said.
He found that he had come to the right place this time. His impression of the Ming Dynasty in the past was very vague, but now it was more real to see it with his own eyes.
"The Dingliao guards changed their armor and their muskets, but no one reported it." Li Xuan was furious.
"Your Majesty, he is tired from driving and is not feeling well and is resting now."
So Li Xuan's choice is correct. He really shouldn't get out of the car, otherwise Shi Jun will be indispensable. Arrangement.
Because they were border guards, the Dingliao Guards were in an over-staffed state. There were a total of six thousand-household stations under its jurisdiction, but only two thousand-household stations were stationed in the city, and the rest were distributed in various forts on the border.
From Ding Liaowei to the westIn the south, the population gradually became denser, and the accommodation conditions became better during this period
Four days passed, and it was August 13th, and Li Xuan and his party finally arrived outside Jinzhou City .
This made him feel very unhappy, but North Korea behind him was not strong enough, which resulted in his backbone not being strong enough, so he could only hide his anger in his heart.
"The Crown Prince is finally here. The journey has been tiring, and a building has been prepared in the city for the Crown Prince to rest."
Since there is no point in getting angry, Li Xuan doesn't want to talk more. After a few polite words with the officials who greeted him, he returned to the carriage and entered the city.
In addition to the attendants who took care of his food and daily life, and several accompanying officials, his bodyguards had other arrangements.
The Dingliao guards who escorted him were also arranged outside the city, waiting for Li Xuan to return in a few days.
When Li Xuan entered the city, he found that even the city on the border of the Ming Dynasty was not less prosperous than Seoul.
Li Xuan could not imagine how prosperous and prosperous the place of Suzhou and Hangzhou in those poems or the divine capital in the world must be.
At this moment, he finally understood why those officials who had been to the Ming Dynasty, especially those who had passed the Ming Dynasty Jinshi examination, always had an indescribable arrogance.
Now he understands that these people have really seen the world, so they have no respect for the royal family.
"Your Majesty, this is it. If you need anything, just send someone to tell me."
At this time, Li Xuan really needed it, so he heard him say, "I want to "Meet His Royal Highness King Xiang"
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet started, he was eager to see Zhu Jinghong in order to have some peace of mind.
The prefect of Jinzhou smiled and said, "My lord, please rest. If your highness thinks of you, I will see you."
The words of the prefect of Jinzhou made Li Xuan's mood sink to the bottom.
Recalling all the recent events, he had to admit that all the actions of the Ming Dynasty or that King Xiang were aimed at North Korea.
This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet may be the Hongmen Banquet, which makes Li Xuan very worried.
At this time, his entourage was cleaning up the house, so he stood in a daze at the gate. No one came to disturb him. Only the crown prince Jin Youyan and a few chamberlains accompanied him.
But in this place, not only Li Xuan's family lives, but also people from various Jurchen tribes live here, just in different houses.
During this period, all the Jurchen leaders, including Ye Hemingen, stayed in Jinzhou City to wait, and they would also participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
After staying in Jinzhou City for a long time, these people are already very familiar with the city and hang out in various entertainment places every day.
Compared with the life of the tribe, life in Jinzhou is equivalent to paradise, which makes these people feel like they don't want to miss Shu.
At this time, Ye Hemingen led a group of soldiers and rode towards the box, laughing and cursing happily.
"Beauty"
p>Ye Hemingen had sharp eyes and could easily notice Jin Youyan among the crowd in front.
Although there are many beauties in Jinzhou city, none of those promiscuous girls can match the temperament of the royal princess of North Korea.
At this time, Jin Youyan was also looking here, just in eye contact with Ye Hemingen.
Ye Hemingen's burning gaze really frightened Jin Youyan, so she immediately looked away and hid behind Li Xuan.
At this time, according to the flag, Ye Heming Encha knew that he was a Korean in front of him, which made him less worried.
Because Ye Hemingen knew that the purpose of Zhu Jinghong's big battle this time was to deal with the Koreans.
Slowing down, Ye Hemingen stopped in front of Li Hui and others, looking at Jin Youyan roughly.
“This one is really a beauty,” Ye Heming said looking around.
The dozen or so soldiers who followed him laughed in agreement, and some even commented.
Although there was a language barrier between the two parties, just from the look and tone of these people, Li Xuan knew that they definitely had nothing good to say.
Knowing that these people were here for his wife, Li Xuan asked Jin Youyan to go in first. At the same time, he turned to Ye Hemingen and yelled, "How dare you be so rude?"
In order to ensure People in front of me can understand that Li Xuan uses the Central Plains Mandarin, and his spoken English is very good.
Ye Hemingen also knows some Mandarin, but he said, "I see beauty, what does it have to do with you?"
"Barbarian and barbaric, no shame" Li Xuan sneered.
At this time, there were only eunuchs around Li Xuan, and all his guards were placed separately. Facing Ye Hemingen's dozen or so people, his combat effectiveness was almost negligible.
However, Li Xuan attacked Ye Hemingen without giving in, which shows that he also has some courage.
Ye Heming'en didn't say anything, but the soldiers on his left and right couldn't bear it anymore, so they drew their swords and wanted to move forward to take action.
The eunuchs accompanying Li Xuan stood in front of his master one after another. They were all as frightened as chaff.
In sharp contrast, Li Xuan in the crowd did not move at all, and was looking at Ye Hemingen at this moment.
“Are you not afraid of death?” Ye Hemingen asked coldly.
"I am afraid of death, and I am also afraid of death," Li Xuan replied.
Ye Hemingen smiled and asked, "You alone want to hurt me."
Li Xuan replied, "We can't hurt you, but His Highness Prince Xiang can kill you."
"Oh"
"I am the crown prince of the Joseon Dynasty. I was invited by His Highness King Xiang to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. You hurt me before the banquet, and it was His Highness's fault. "Face"
Ye Hemingen had to agree with Li Xuan's words. He really didn't dare to do anything to Li Xuan.
Let you be proud for two days. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will reason with you again
Thinking like this in his heart, Ye Hemingen smiled, and then scolded his subordinates: " Come back, don'tWe always talk about beating, but we are polite people."
After everyone retreated, Ye Hemingen did not stay any longer and led his men to another house.
Watching them walk away, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and entered the house. Next, he had to comfort his wife.
Hundreds of meters away, in the heavily guarded Xue family house. Zhu Jinghong was sitting on the chair, holding a fishing rod facing the pond.
There was a garden in the back of the Xue family. There were not only many fish in it, but all of them were fed well.
< p>But under such conditions, Zhu Jinghong sat here for half an hour, but no fish took the bait.He didn't care much about it, just because he was thinking about it at the moment. >
What should Yan Liao do next, how to control the situation, how to deal with changes in the court, and how to balance the relationship with the prince
For Zhu Jinghong, there are simply too many things to consider.
p>"Brother-in-law"
Hearing this crisp voice, Zhu Jinghong's originally heavy heart felt as if it was watered by a sweet spring.
Zhu Jinghong looked back and said, " Girl, how did you get in?"
Baoqin replied, "They didn't let me in. I said it was my brother-in-law who was looking for me, and then they let me in."
"You are lying. "
Zhu Jinghong knew this was a lie, and the eunuchs guarding outside also knew that those "smart people" were the best at figuring out the master's thoughts, so he simply pretended to be stupid and let Baoqin in.
Normally, such eunuchs should be punished, but Zhu Jinghong is not a cold machine. He really has no motivation to punish these "understanding" eunuchs.
He knows that this is depravity and it is difficult to do so. Save yourself.
Facing the accusation, Bao Qin said frankly, "Now that I tell you clearly, it won't be considered a lie."
"It makes some sense."
At this time Baoqin had come closer. She looked at the bamboo basket for the first time, and then said, "I have been fishing for so long, but there is not a single one."
Hearing this undisguised With contempt, Zhu Jinghong said, "Who said I didn't take the bait?"
"Where is it?"
"Far away in the horizon, close in front of me"
"It's mysterious , I didn't see it." Bao Qin was very dissatisfied.
"Forget it if you can't see it. You will understand it later," Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
"Brother-in-law, I heard from my father. There is a decree for you to control the troops of Yan and Liao."
"There is such a thing"
"Doesn't that mean that there are so many armies, they will all be subject to you? "Dispatch"
"Yeah" Zhu Jinghong remained calm.
After what she thought in her heart was confirmed, Bao Qin suddenly became excited, so she said, "Brother-in-law, you are really amazing"
The family has a prince son-in-law, and he is also a famous war god of the Ming Dynasty. Now that he will lead the army again, he may make new achievements. Baoqin feels excited just thinking about it.
LiShe had harmed her brother-in-law, and he still had such a good relationship with her. When he went back, he was bragging to his sisters, and her waist became much stiffer.
The girl's smile is as bright as a flower, and her youthful beauty has a strong healing effect. It makes Zhu Jinghong feel much younger, even though he is only eighteen years old now.
Sighing, Zhu Jinghong looked disappointed and said, "Girl, actually I have nothing." Please remember to collect it. The latest and fastest website without anti-theft is free to find books and add books. You can join the qq group 952868558
