Chapter 610: One trick can be eaten all over the world

In Hanyang City, the capital of North Korea.

Xu Jing handed a commission letter to Tang Yin, and Tang Yin was also surprised by the commission letter in his hand.

"Brother Bohu, congratulations. His Majesty has appointed you as the general manager of Jiliao. Your official position is the highest in Jiliao. From now on, you can be a general or a prime minister, and your future is limitless." Xu There was great respect on Jing's face.

Tang Yin said, "Is there no secret decree?"

Xu Jing was startled, then shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of any secret decree."

Tang Yinyi He slapped the table and said, "Then why are we here on mission for so long and nothing has been done? Are we just going to die here?"

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

Xu Jing came to congratulate Tang Yin on his promotion, but it turned out that Tang Yin seemed to feel sorry for himself, so that the two of them had some disagreements.

"Actually, it's pretty good here." Xu Jing looked a little ashamed.

As the son of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, his family was originally well-off and had no shortage of money and material things. But when he arrived in North Korea, he realized what it means to be a master here. Even if he is just a deputy envoy, North Korea People also treat him like an ancestor. Not only does he have good food and drinks every day, but he is also full of wine, sex, and wealth. More importantly, he has face wherever he goes. Everyone has to fawn over him, and he is sincere.

Xu Jing even felt that staying in North Korea for decades would not be a bad thing.

Tang Yin said, "Follow me into their palace and meet the leader of North Korea."

"You," Xu Jing reminded, "will it be a little rash for us to do this?"

Tang Yin said coldly, "Right now we are sending troops to Liaodong and to the grasslands. If North Korea does not send troops, then they are not worthy of becoming a vassal state to the Ming Dynasty, and it will be meaningless for us to be here."

Inside the Joseon Palace.

The leader of the country, Li Yi, received Tang Yin cautiously, and he was not even on an equal footing with Tang Yin. He completely regarded Tang Yin as his husband.

This also made Tang Yin a little embarrassed. People respected him, especially when he was still a childish child. He had single-handedly supported this person to the throne. All the causes and consequences made him unable to bear it. This way he took away the throne from the young man in front of him.

"Mr. Tang, I have been studying the etiquette culture of the Ming Dynasty recently. My daily teachings tell me that I must abide by Confucian etiquette, so that we can govern a country well."

Li Yi speaks Chinese very fluently.

This also surprised Tang Yin.

After all, when they met before, Li Yi's Chinese was still very poor. I didn't expect that the child would improve every time they met.

Tang Yin said, "Your Highness, let me make it clear. The imperial court sent me here mainly to coordinate with the imperial court to send troops to Liaodong and the grasslands to resist the Jurchens and Mongols. These Tatars have always been a problem on the border. , Not only will it cause damage to the imperial court, but your country, Korea, will also be invaded by them."

"Yes," Li Yi said seriously, "I have already told you.After discussion with the ministers, they also believed that they should cooperate with the superior state to eliminate border troubles. They agreed to allocate five thousand troops and horses to Mr. Tang for deployment. ”

“Five thousand is too little”

Tang Yin saw that Li Yi was sensible and knew that he should give troops and horses, but with this number, isn’t it deceiving

Tang Yin said righteously, "I hope your highness can understand." , Your Majesty means to let North Korea do its best to do this, which is not only for the stability of Liaodong, but also for the stability of North Korea. I think you should send 50,000 troops. "

"No," Li Yi said obviously panicked, "We don't have 30,000 troops. Too many. "

"Then 20,000, no more. As long as you give me 20,000 soldiers and horses, I will take them out immediately. You will also ration the food and grass. If it is delayed, wait until Liaodong and the grassland The war is over and if you haven't sent troops yet, His Majesty will definitely send someone to hold you accountable. I don't want to see this result at that time. ”

Tang Yin’s expression was very stern.

This is a bit of a threat.

No troops, no food

Then don't blame me for being rude.

Li Yi seemed embarrassed, but he still nodded and said, "I will discuss this matter with you seriously. Please give me a little more time, sir." Recently I have studied some culture of the Central Plains and asked my husband to give me some advice. ”

“No time. "

Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, please convene people to discuss it immediately. It is best to let me lead the troops to go out tomorrow. If it doesn't go well, maybe I can only report it truthfully. "

"Yes, yes. "Li Yi could only respond in a hurry.

Coming out of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Xu Jing sighed with a look on his face, "Bohu, you are really brave and resourceful. Look at you. In front of the little king of North Korea, he did not lose Ming Dynasty's face at all, and he could make him obey his orders. What a courage"

Tang Yin was already a little angry. Hearing this, he looked sideways at Xu Jing and said, "Have you ever thought about what we can do if he continues to delay like this?"

" "This" Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "We can use as many soldiers and horses as you want." "

Tang Yin said, "You know why your majesty wants me to be the commander-in-chief of Ji Liao."

Xu Jingdao, "This is your majesty's trust in you." "

Tang Yin's tone was still very harsh and he said, "Your Majesty is asking me to lead troops into North Korea and capture the royal city of North Korea. There is absolutely no need to support the country's leader. The most important thing is to make North Korea completely surrender. ”

“Well, Bohu, I think this is all good, but the Koreans seem to be different from us. What if they don’t obey? "

Xu Jing also seemed to understand the crux of the problem.

Tang Yin said, "Why else should we be allowed to come? If you want to be famous as a teacher, we need to do something.. ”

After saying that, Tang Yin looked at Xu Jing with a slightly fierce look.

Xu Jing couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine after seeing this look.

The Tang Yin in front of him seems to be completely different from before. He used to be a messy young master, but now he is a bit more decisive.

Xu Jing even thought, you won't do it. I killed him, and then said it was the North Koreans who did it, and then I became famous like this. It turns out that enjoying life in North Korea is not a good thing, and you have to bear this kind of risk

"We have to use them to send troops Make a fuss about it. Tang Yin said, "Give them a deadline. They must send troops tomorrow. If we can't send troops, we will leave here overnight and return to Liaodong." "

"Go back"

Xu Jing was even a little reluctant.

Tang Yin said sternly, "When we approach Liaodong, the soldiers and horses will come to kill us. "

Xu Jingdao "What if they chase us?"

Tang Yin sneered and said, "You have hundreds of guards accompanying you, are they vegetarians? At this time, we have more Reason to send troops. ”

“Hey”

Xu Jing wanted to say, you are really popular all over the world with one move.

It took only a few hundred men to conquer North Korea. Domestic subversion, you still want to copy the gourd this time

I am afraid that the Koreans will also be prepared, how can it be so easy

Liaodong Town

He was in Fushun that day. He had just met the people sent by Zhang Zhou to open the coal mine, and he was still thinking about it. Do you want to report this to the court, or even contact the traditional civil servants and receive a secret order from the emperor, asking him to send troops to approach the Korean border?

Peng Jian, the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, received a message from Yang Yiqing. Hurry to meet Yang Yiqing in his handsome tent.

"Sir. ”

When Peng Jian saw Yang Yiqing, he also felt that he had met a rare person. Although Yang Yiqing was supervising the battle in Fushun, he was rarely seen.

Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren were the It is different for a general to personally lead troops into battle. Yang Yiqing pays more attention to long-range planning, so he does not appear to be a procrastinating person.

Yang Yiqing said, "Assemble three thousand knights, equipped with muskets and artillery, to move closer to the border with North Korea. "

"Sir, are we going to attack North Korea or are we going to attack the Jurchens from another way?" Peng Jian is also a qualified general. From Yang Yiqing's order, he analyzed that there are two types of Maybe.

Such a strange way of deploying troops is either to fight against the Jurchens or to fight against Korea.

Yang Yiqing put down the secret order in his hand and said, "You know that Ji Liao has been added. General Secretary, who was the first General Secretary of Ji Liao?"

Peng Jiandao "It seems to be the Minister of Tang of the Ministry of Industry. ”

“Do you know why your Majesty wants him to be the commander-in-chief of Ji Liao?” Yang Yiqing asked again.

Peng Jian said tentatively, "I heard that this person is a fellow disciple of Cai Guogong, and he was a Jinshi in the same year, and came from the same list in Jiangnan."

Yang Yiqing was startled.

Even Yang Yiqing never thought that Tang Yin and Zhang Zhou had such a "close" relationship. It didn't matter that they were from the same sect, or they were the same candidates or Jinshi. They just received different treatment in the court. But they are still from the same hometown.

They are both township party members, nian friends, and classmates

Yang Yiqing collected his thoughts and said, "Actually, His Majesty used Tang Yin to control Ji Liao, mostly because he is familiar with the situation in North Korea." , the current leader of North Korea was originally appointed and supported by him on behalf of the imperial court."

Peng Jiandao, "Your Majesty's intention is to use Jiliao to threaten North Korea, or even conquer North Korea."

"That's what it means." Yang Yiqing did not explain in detail, and he did not bother to be like these generals. When mentioning a person, he should first think about the relationship between this person and the powerful.

I even feel a little disgusted with Peng Jian's mentality.

"Immediately move people closer to the North Korean border. If you encounter Jurchens on the road, you will have a head-on confrontation. When the soldiers and horses are about to arrive, you will be given new instructions. Remember not to advance rashly along the way. At the same time, Don't be too showy, especially don't alert the Koreans."

"Yes."

"By the way, I will allocate a batch of grain and grass to the northern troops in Haixi. I may do it recently. If you want to return to Shenyang Zhongwei, leave the affairs here to the generals below. The climate in the north is cold in winter, and the war will not advance too much. The affairs here will be left to you for the time being."

Three Tun Camp.

Zhang Zhou came out of the bedroom in the other courtyard. It was already midnight. There were only lanterns hanging in the corridor in the backyard. Amidst the howling north wind, Zhang Zhou looked at the snowflakes that had fallen outside. We also know that the war in the north has come to an end.

"Sir."

Sun Shangqi brought Caihuang to see Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou just waved his hand, meaning to let Sun Shangqi take Caihuang to a suitable place to talk. He had no time to deal with this woman for the time being.

Then Zhang Zhou went to the front hall and saw Zhang Yong, who was coming from afar.

“I’ve met Mr. Zhang.” Zhang Yong looked extremely respectful when he saw Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhang, you are a very busy man. When I see you, I feel relieved about the war situation in the north and other matters."

Zhang Yong said hurriedly: Sir, you are making fun of our family. Even if our family is following you and doing things according to your instructions, the soldiers you sent can still manage the soldiers and put the battlefield in order, as well as your foresight and strategizing."

No matter what, Zhang Yong came up and blew a rainbow fart at Zhang Zhou.

The two sat down, and then Zhang Yongcai said with emotion, "Coming from the northwest, it was a very hard journey."

Zhang Zhou asked, "I wonder what the situation in the northwest is like."

Zhang Yong seemed to be speechless and sighed,"Just like that, there is no shortage of soldiers and food everywhere. Even in Datong, everything seems to have improved, but in fact it is still the same. Now the top brass in the military are saying that just waiting for your new crops next year, we can make more money." The soldiers have had enough to eat."

Zhang Zhou said, "The biggest trouble with the troops in the north is the lack of food, pay, clothing, etc. After all, the soldiers still cannot devote themselves to fighting and completely ignore farming and production. The soldiers also need it. Eat and dress."

As the Minister of War, Zhang Zhou was very clear about the situation in the northern frontier, and Zhang Yong, as a person who had experienced it, was also clear.

It is said that after Zhang Zhou appeared, the living environment of the northern soldiers improved, but only on a strategic level. There was basically no need to worry about the Tatars attacking every three days or even being unable to defeat them.

However, because there was no significant increase in farmland and the silver folding method was still maintained, there were very few areas where grain kaizhong was implemented, and the northwest merchant villages did not develop again. In addition, the traditional civil servants in the DPRK and China wanted to To "accumulate grain to prevent hunger", to put it bluntly, it means deliberately starving the soldiers in the northwest, so that they can't eat enough and starve to death

The result is that the soldiers seem to be prosperous, but in fact they are living a hard life.

Zhang Zhou said, "It's good if Eunuch Zhang is here. Ji Liao really needs the help of capable people like Eunuch Zhang."

Zhang Yong tried his best and said, "Our family is not very good. Understand, Your Majesty asked our family to come, just because he said he was listening to you. But various people have already entered the grassland. Originally, our family could either follow Uncle Xinjian or the British father, but we came here because we wanted to do it. Do you want to cooperate with Jingshan Bo and Anbian Hou?"

Zhang Zhou smiled and shook his head, meaning neither.

Zhang Yongdao "just came here to cooperate with that Tang Junmen"

"He is in North Korea." Zhang Zhou reminded with a smile.

Zhang Yong looked embarrassed.

Balie went through all the trouble to get me to Jizhou Town, but he didn’t tell me what to do. I wanted to make contributions and fight in the war. I even wanted to win a title for my tribe and a status for myself. But this Isn’t it a torment?

Zhang Zhou said, “The next focus of running the army in Liaodong is to completely eradicate the hidden dangers of the Jurchens, and then to make North Korea completely surrender. Between the two, Eunuch Zhang is needed to complete this matter. Yang Peng and Eunuch Yang are not qualified for the job in Liaodong, so Eunuch Zhang still needs you."

"He"

Zhang Yong was jealous when he mentioned Yang Peng.

Yang Peng went to Liaodong just for gold plating.

But he was walking around in a hurry, looking prosperous, but now Yang Peng is more prosperous than him.

But he did not dare to complain, mainly because Yang Peng was much taller than him. He was originally a eunuch, and when he was appointed to oversee the Liaodong army, he was just a steward.
