The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 392 Rebellion
"Jingle Bell."

The four-wheeled carriage galloped quickly on the straight road, and the bell hanging outside the carriage made a crisp sound.

The sound of the bell can be transmitted very far, thus alarming the pedestrians on the straight road.

Tao Jie arrived in Zhenjiang from North Korea and got into Jinjiang Town. The four-wheeled carriages that can be seen everywhere run more steadily and faster.

"What a treasure."

The original forests and hills have turned into patches of farmland, and ditches can be seen everywhere to provide sufficient irrigation for these endless fields.

The felled trees become houses, furniture, tools, and ships...

in North Korea for many years.

Every time he goes back to his hometown, there will be new changes. Everything he sees and hears can make Tao Jie feel intoxicated and feel proud and satisfied.

He was originally a proud person.

I am used to seeing the people in North Korea living in poverty, poor and poorly clothed, so when dealing with North Korean officials, they often show arrogance.

The honored ministers of North Korea, on the contrary, are getting more and more like him.

Going up to the kingdom of heaven, as it should be.

The handwriting of the courtier Pu Zhouyuan recorded the wealth of the people in Liaodong, and it was widely circulated in Korea. Through the mouth of local officials, the people of Korea were envious.

Every year, many Korean women enthusiastically marry into Zhenjiang, and this person is also credited.

"Yeah, it's only been a few years, and it's changed a lot."

On the carriage, there were Tao Jie's entourage, who were also amazed.

"I went back to my hometown a few years ago, and all the younger generations in the village married their wives, because the population tax was abolished, and they promised to only collect taxes according to the acre of land.

There are more and more children in the village, I can't believe it, so many children, year after year, will be paid back in the future. "

The guard couldn't help laughing when he thought of the village full of naked children running around, swinging their dicks around.

Tao Jie is Jin Jiangzhen's secret in North Korea. He has not only his subordinates but also guards to protect his safety.

The four-wheeled carriage has a large space. Besides him, there are four other people, two clerks, two guards, and a coachman.

Long way to go.

Tao Jie was arrogant to the North Koreans, and although he was still proud of his subordinates, he would not discriminate against them, and he was very happy.

The coachman travels all over the world, his knowledge is no less than that of ordinary officials, and his tongue is also sharp.

Hearing the words in the carriage, he couldn't help but smile.

"Where is this? The general said that we in Liaodong have to feed 2000 million people."

The coachman was illiterate, and he couldn't imagine how much 2000 million was, but it didn't stop him from showing off.

"Back then we only had two to three million acres of land, and some officials thought it was already top-of-the-line, but the general thought it was far more than that.

Or the general is wise, better than everyone else. "

The guards were soldiers, and they talked about generals. The two clerks were smiling, but they were not as straightforward as him.

The conversation between the guards, the clerk, and the groom outside the carriage became more and more intense.

Withdrawing his body and leaving his head away from the car window, Tao Jie calmed down, thinking about the situation in North Korea while listening to the voices of the lower class.

golden state.

Tao Jie arrived at the Jiedu Mansion, submitted the document survey, and asked to see the general. The young official Qin Zhong led him to the public house to rest.

soon.

Qin Zhong hurried back and told the general that he was waiting for him.

Looking at the back of the young man in front of him, Tao Jie knew the other party's identity, but his own identity was already sensitive, so he pretended not to know him.

"It's been a hard journey, you go home and rest for a night, and it won't be too late to come to me tomorrow."

Seeing Tao Jie, Tang Qing'an showed a gentle smile, asked him to sit down, and at the same time complained that he was too tired and had to take care of his body.

Domestic officials did not bring their family members with them at the earliest when they took office, including Jia Zheng when he went to the local government to study politics.

However, the atmosphere has gradually changed, and many officials will choose to bring their family members with them.

Jinjiang Town is a pioneering situation, and people's hearts are uplifting, so no one will choose to bring their family members with them when they go to various places.

Tao Jie waited for the general to sit back down again before he sat down himself.

"North Korea has some things to report to the general in a hurry. I don't want to waste time. I will try to do more things while I still have energy in the past few years."

"You said."

Tang Qing'an nodded.

Tao Jie informed the current affairs in North Korea in detail.

"Is North Korea already this bad?"

Regarding North Korea's methods, they are all based on their own ideas. Of course, Tang Qing'an knew that North Korea's situation was in decline, but he did not expect it to deteriorate so quickly.

Tao Jie nodded affirmatively.

"If it weren't for our military strength in North Korea, given the current situation in North Korea, I guess someone would have caused chaos in Seoul long ago."

Hearing Tao Jie's speculation, Tang Qing'an smiled.

Because Tao Jie was right.

Li Deren, the Wynn Army of North Korea, was indeed pushed out by Xun Chen later and launched a new rebellion, but it failed in the end.

Li Yan was launched by Jin Yan, Jin Zidian and other officials, and Li Deren of Wynn Army was launched by Shen Qiyuan and other officials.

The strength of both sides is not necessarily the winner.

The variable at that time was that after Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, in addition to a large number of those who were incorporated, there were also remnants of Dongjiang Town who defected to North Korea.

These forces are close to the faction in power, allowing Jin Yan and Jin Zidian to gain an advantage in victory.

As a result, Li Jing kept his throne.

At that time, the ruler of the country, Li Ji, worried that after the victory, Jin Zidian and others were too powerful, even if Shen Qiyuan rebelled against him, he still wanted to save his life to contain these people.

Specially ordered.

Sparing the life of the captured Shen Qiyuan, but Jin Zidian did not obey Li Zhen's order, and still insisted on killing Shen Qiyuan.

"This time, the lord of North Korea did not agree to our request. Do you want to change people? Just let the wind out."

Hundreds of years of Joseon King Lee.

In Tao Jie's mouth, it seemed that he was an insignificant person, who could be exchanged if he said it, and his expression was calm.

Li Jing had been the leader of North Korea for several years, and compared to the beginning, he was more and more bargaining with Jin Jiangzhen.

Tao Jie gradually disliked this person.

If the whole country of North Korea is united in one mind and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, Tao Jie will certainly not have such an arrogance to speak falsely about the ruler of the country.

The population of North Korea is larger than that of Jinjiang Town.

pity.

The situation in North Korea is like sitting in the crater of a volcano. The magma is already splashing out in all directions, and it may erupt in the next moment.

It only takes Jin Jiangzhen to provoke lightly, and the forces that have been suppressed for a long time will immediately swarm up.

"Li Zhen still has to keep it."

Tang Qing'an pondered for a moment, then decided to support Li Zhen.

"This guy has been with us for years, he's a smart guy, he knows our boundaries, he won't touch them.

A line of honored ministers of North Korea, including Jin Yan, Li Gui, etc., have benefited, and those who are full will hope to maintain the current situation.

As for Huai Enjun Li Deren, I am not familiar with this person's character, so I am not willing to take risks easily.

Moreover, the honored ministers in the opposition, when they come to the stage, will inevitably clash with the honored ministers in the current dynasty, leading to the corruption of the situation in North Korea.

Although I am also corrupting North Korea's national power, but the corrupted power is used to help Jin Jiangzhen, but I don't want to waste it in vain.

If it comes to the point where Li Ying has to be replaced, there is someone who can be pushed out immediately. You can get in touch with him first to get to know him. "

Tang Qing'an said bluntly.

His methods over the years have been to ask for immeasurable supplies of all kinds, and to ask North Korea to send troops to help fight every year.

It can be said that the hardships of the Korean people and the people's livelihood are in dire straits, the role he played is consistent with that of the honored ministers of North Korea.

Not to mention the people's livelihood in Jinjiang Town was greatly helped, and the soldiers of the Jinjiang Army also reduced a lot of casualties.

Tao Jie understood what the general meant.

The new North Korean leader ascended the throne, and the nobles of various factions robbed the interests, which would definitely lead to more corruption in North Korea.

The general hoped that these corrupted and depleted North Korean forces would be spent helping the Jinjiang town.

"However, I have advised many times that the lord of North Korea has never agreed to send troops, but instead asked me to stop the exodus of North Korean women."

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Tang Qing'an couldn't help laughing.

"This is the benefit I seek for the bachelors in Liaodong."

Tao Jie also laughed.

Because of the cholera of the barbarians, although most of the people were able to escape after the rescue of Jinjiang Town, it was easier for the young and strong to survive.

Therefore, among the people in Jinjiang Town, the imbalance of male to female ratio has always been a big problem.

It was not until more and more Korean women married into Liaodong that this problem was solved, which in turn prompted more and more newborns in Jinjiang Town.

Ordinary people in North Korea don't mention it.

In southern North Korea, the families of the soldiers of the three rebel armies, their sisters married into Jinjiang Town, and the relationship with Jinjiang Town became deeper.

It gave Jin Jiangzhen more opportunities.

If there is a general who does not cooperate with Jinjiang Town, Jinjiang Town also has a chance to replace him, so that he will not be contradicted by the soldiers of the three rebels.

"Let me think about this first. North Korea is very important to us, so we must be safe."

With the help of North Korea's climate, Tang Qing'an stepped on key nodes several times and took advantage of the general situation to control North Korea.

But that doesn't mean he can underestimate North Korea's potential.

North Korea's ruling class is a mess, but it doesn't mean that the people are made of mud.

If it weren't for the tenacity of the people, North Korea would have perished in the hands of Japanese pirates or the later gold in history.

He doesn't care about Shen Qiyuan and other honorable ministers, there are too many means to restrain him, but the people of North Korea should not be careless.

Tao Jie didn't say anything, but he still admired the general's method of turning his hands into clouds and his hands into rain in North Korea.

After hearing the words, he got up and bid farewell to the general.

After a day.

Feng Shengzhi, Gu Yingshi, Xie Youcheng, Xu Hui, Jia Jian, and Tao Jie were recruited by the general to discuss the Korean affairs.

"Jinjiang Town can raise [-] elite soldiers. The main reason is that it uses domestic goods to develop maritime trade in Jeju Island, which guarantees military funds and supplies.

The population of North Korea is twice that of ours, the land area is not weaker than that of Liaodong, and it has been a country for hundreds of years. The righteousness of the monarchy is rooted in the hearts of the Korean people. "

Tang Qing'an said to everyone.

He put forward the idea of ​​controlling North Korea, and these people in front of him are responsible for doing things and achieving what they want to achieve.

Everyone knows that no one can compare to the general in terms of the means against North Korea, and they all listen and think carefully.

"So North Korea still has a lot of potential, we need to take advantage of these potentials, but we also need to guard against these potentials.

Those who are willing to surrender and be close to us, we accept as our own people, and those who are unwilling to be close to us, we must beware of them and deal with them.

Jinjiang Town still has a long way to go in the future, and there will be many hardships and setbacks along the way.

In order to keep moving forward, more forces are needed to join us.

The Military Division has made a plan. If North Korea cannot participate in the war, the strength of the Jinjiang Army is considered by the Military Division officials to be enough to defeat the barbarians.

I don't agree with this kind of thinking.

As we move forward, we need to give, and our allies need to give, to defeat the enemy together.

It is the unbreakable friendship between allies, which is the situation I hope for, rather than relying on our own sacrifices alone. "

Only by fully understanding the thoughts of the superior can we exert force in one direction.

Xie Youcheng became more silent when he heard the general named the commander, and listened carefully to the general's words.

United North Korea is a very troublesome thing.

Some officials believe that North Korea's soldiers are not enough to fight, and it can be transferred to North Korea to provide more supplies, combined with the combat power of the Kim Jiang Army, which is the best.

Soon received a rebuttal from the general.

"North Korea's potential, because of the corruption of North Korean ministers, can only be used [-]% of the time, but we can't just use this [-]% and let it stay [-]%.

Then how to use these honorable ministers to make more use of North Korea's potential is what we should work hard to do. "

Tang Qing'an continued.

How to bring out more of North Korea's potential?The most correct choice at that time was to reform in North Korea to remove all kinds of disadvantages.

But Tang Qing'an would not make this decision.

thankless.

Even if the reform is successful in the end, he will not benefit, but will only be hated by the interest class.

And North Korea, which is really united, will demand a high price even if it is willing to continue to pay for Jin Jiangzhen.

Tang Qing'an was unwilling to pay what was supposed to be the interests of the people of Jinjiang Town. The final result could only be hostility from both sides.

Crusade and calculation.

It has always been the eternal law of operation of the world, and it has never been changed by the technological explosion.

"I'll go to North Korea myself."

Tang Qing'an finally said.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Unlike the others, Jia Jian is well aware of the mentality of the North Korean ministers.

With the prestige of a general, he personally entered the court, which gave North Korea enough face and was able to subdue some dissatisfied voices.

It's a good idea.

But the only thing to worry about is that the status of a general is too important, and there are too many aspects that need to be arranged when going to a foreign country.

For myself, it will be a lot of pressure.

The second is Xie Youcheng, who was also in charge of North Korea's secrets before, and is one of the people in Jinjiang Town who understands North Korea's hearts best.

He also approved of the general's idea, thinking about how to ensure the general's safety.

Tang Qing'an put forward his own idea, and everyone began to discuss it.

He himself entered North Korea once, when he was still the commander in chief, and the leader of North Korea at that time was still Li Hun.

In reason and reason, it is time for me to go to North Korea.

Meet the king of North Korea, and those honorable ministers who haven't seen each other for many years, solve troubles and win people's hearts.

Just like attacking the barbarians, even if Japan is suppressed in the future, the North Korean army will be required to charge forward.

For fighting.

Tang Qing'an has always been one of the best, and everyone has to work hard together, and everyone has to endure hardships together.

"The general's entry into the court can be carried out at the same time as the big training."

Xie Youcheng suggested.

Jinjiang Town is in North Korea, and has a profound influence on the army, especially the Three Rebels. Compared with North Korea's Seoul, the Three Rebels may obey Jin Jiangzhen's orders.

In the context of large-scale military training, even in North Korea, the strength of Jinjiang Army is much higher than that of North Korea.

"Do not enter the palace."

Feng Shengzhi warned.

The general's prudence at the beginning has proved him right.

If the general enters the royal palace of Joseon, he cannot lead troops, even if he keeps his personal guards, it is difficult to bring weapons.

All kinds of adverse effects are not under the control of Jinjiang Town.

Although they knew that it was unlikely that something unbearable would happen in North Korea, as vassals, they had to be considerate, and the general's heir was still young.

Everyone quickly discussed a proper solution, and Tao Jie rushed back to North Korea with the trust of everyone.

Go back the same way.

Seoul, North Korea.

Marquis Ping Liao will enter the DPRK, meet the lord of the DPRK in person, meet with two classes of honorable officials, and finally participate in the big military training.

When word of this spread, the rest of the voices fell silent.

At least, no one dares to talk about North Korea's national conditions at this juncture, which is not suitable for sending troops.

Ping An Road.

Li Shi, the deputy marshal and envoy of Ping'an Taoist soldiers, was stationed in Ningbian.

His complexion was cloudy and uncertain.

As one of the honored ministers who launched the rebellion at the beginning, he gained too little benefit and has always been dissatisfied with Jin Yan and others.

When discussing meritorious deeds, he was only rated as second-class, and he was only the governor of Seoul, while his eldest son, Li Zhan, was not even rated for meritorious service.

Seeing this, he left Beijing angrily and went to the frontier to gain military power.

The strength that has been developed secretly for several years, coupled with the addition of Xun Chen who is also dissatisfied with Seoul, the rebellion is like an arrow on the string.

The only thing to worry about is Zhenjiang on the side of the Yalu River, otherwise he would have rebelled long ago.

Even the candidate for the new monarch, he and the Guicheng Mansion envoy Han Minglian and others have already negotiated, and when they invade Seoul, they will push Xing'an Lord Li Yu to the position of monarch.

It was rumored that Tao Jie, the envoy of Marquis Ping and Liao, was dissatisfied with the North Korean ruler. They had already made up their minds and took this opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Just like the rebellion organized by Jin Yan and others back then, I can do it myself, and I have already participated in it and have experience in rebellion.

Thinking of this, he hated it even more.

I put in a lot of effort, but didn't get what I deserved.

in fact.

This is the status quo of the two classes of ministers in North Korea.

Over the past few hundred years, there have been more and more noble ministers in North Korea, and most of them are hereditary. Even if the rights belong to the eldest son, it cannot stop the spread of the family.

Clan, Xunchen.

The solidified class is more serious than that in Dazhou.

There are more and more honored ministers, but the fields and people have not changed, so there will be a fierce struggle for power among the honored ministers.

If you can't get enough benefits, the family will decline.

This kind of internal friction competition cannot strengthen the honored officials, nor can it strengthen the country. It will only make the country frequently fall into turmoil.

Li Shi scolded the honored ministers in Seoul.

I am not very ambitious, if I can make my son get merit, even if it is only second-class merit, I will accept it with my nose.

pity.

He never thought about how he could satisfy everyone with so many ministers who wanted to make a profit.

"I originally wanted to take the opportunity to launch a rebellion. After the rebellion was successful, I would send someone to contact Marquis Ping Liao, and still meet all the requirements of Marquis Ping Liao to gain the other party's support.

But Marquis Ping Liao suddenly wants to enter the court, what should we do? "

Li Shi asked Han Minglian.

Han Minglian frowned.

"Should we launch it now? Before Marquis Pingliao leaves? After the great achievement is completed, in order to show my sincerity, I can go to Marquis Pingliao as an envoy and explain to him in person."

Everyone has been sharpening their knives for several years, doing mental calculations but not intentional.

Not only Li Shi, but Han Minglian also had confidence in the success of the rebellion.

in history.

The rebellion they launched, even if they were informed because of the leak in advance, so that Seoul was prepared in advance, they still attacked Seoul.

The current leader of North Korea, Li Ji, ran fast and fled to the Gongzhou area.

Then Li Shi and others supported Xing'an Lord Li Jing as the new king of Korea in Seoul.

But also because of the unfair distribution of benefits, it was opposed by other factions, and finally failed.

Li Shi didn't dare to make a decision easily.

If there is no news of Marquis Ping Liao's entry into the court, and taking advantage of Jinjiang Town's envoy's dissatisfaction with the lord and launching a rebellion, he is sure to get Marquis Ping Liao's approval.

But at this moment, Marquis Ping Liao was going to enter the court. At this critical moment, he was worried that Marquis Ping Liao would misunderstand him.

"If you miss this opportunity, you may not have another opportunity in the future."

"What if Marquis Ping Liao enters the court this time, discusses everything with Li Jing, and gets more support from Marquis Ping Liao?"

Han Minglian's words shook Li Shi.

at this time.

Chen Kaiwu arrived in Zhenjiang, seized the local defense and military, and sent someone to contact Li Shi who was stationed in Ningbian.

Tao Jie was not in vain in North Korea for many years.

Not only did he know that Shen Qiyuan's faction had rebellious intentions, but he also knew that Li Shi's faction also had rebellious intentions.

Since the general entered the dynasty.

Then these forces that are about to make a move must honestly suppress their ambitions and obey Jinjiang Town's plan.

Li Shi, who returned from Zhenjiang, let out a long sigh. Although he had obtained the guarantee from Chen Kaiwu, it was nothing compared to the benefits of occupying Seoul.

But his arms couldn't hold his thighs, and Jin Jiangjun next door had already set his sights on him, so he didn't dare to move.

Not only Li Shi.

After Tao Jie returned to the court, he traveled non-stop to various places to visit honored ministers.

No one is allowed to move.

Liu Xingzuo also moved, seized the defense of Seoul, and prepared for the general's arrival.

Seoul Royal Palace.

Li Jing ordered the concubine to take good care of the eldest son Tang Yanqian, worried, and told Lin Zhong that the people around him who took care of him had to be carefully selected.

The power in Seoul was controlled by the Westerners Jin Yan and Li Gui.

However, all parts of the country are ready to move, and the party struggle is fierce. Li Xi has been the leader of the country for several years, and there are also sources of information about him.

Not only worried about the Western faction, but also worried about other parties.

The ambition of just ascending the throne has long been smoothed by reality, and he is only thinking about how to consolidate the throne. The only way to do it is to firmly grasp Jinjiang Town.

Just like in his history, he fully supported Dongjiang Town and won over Mao Wenlong.

"Not going to the palace?"

Hearing the words of Han general Liu Xingzuo in the audience, Li Zhen was stunned for a while, and then immediately returned to smiling.

"Everything is done according to Marquis Ping Liao's will, and when Marquis Ping Liao arrives, I will also go outside the city and hunt together in the mountains."

Marquis Ping Liao has always been cautious. Because of this, he had conflicts with the upper court. Later, he also asked North Korea to send envoys to Beijing to help ease the relationship between the two sides.

So Li Zhen was not too surprised when he heard Liu Xingzuo's words.
