The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 393 Welcome to the Marquis of Ping Liao

Jeolla-do.

The capital is Jeonju.

Seoul has been occupied by the Western faction, and there is no room for others, even though Jin Yan tried his best to persuade him to stay, Shen Qiyuan still left Seoul.

soon.

Tao Jie came to visit Jeolla-do to observe Shen Qiyuan.

Observation envoys have a lot of power in the local area, similar to Jiedu envoys in Dazhou, and are in charge of local military administration.

On the way from Seoul to Jeolla-do, Tao Jie saw a lot of Korean people, naked, emaciated, begging in groups.

The mountains and forests are full of refugees who live with wild beasts.

With the collection of cloth with three knots, cloth collection with four knots, cloth collection with five knots, etc., there are more and more unnamed miscellaneous taxes that have never been seen before.

As well as collecting two bolts of military cloth from men and women a year to replace military service.

The registered civilians who could not survive left their hometowns one after another, broke away from the official roster, and became savages, which also promoted the strength of the local officials.

When Shen Qiyuan learned that Tao Jie was visiting, he quickly asked his servants to bring him in, and he greeted him at the door himself.

North Korea is getting colder and colder.

During Lee's Joseon Dynasty, the honored ministers slowly began to add kangs to the rooms of their homes, and then the Joseon royal palace began to do the same.

Shen Qiyuan and Tao Jie sat cross-legged facing each other on the thick cushions.

This kind of sitting posture is jokingly called "two legs" by the common people, and only the honored ministers of the two classes sit like this, isn't it just the two legs.

But of course the two classes of ministers would not approve, explaining that they were sitting upright.

Do as the locals do.

Tao Jie has been sitting like this for several years, and he is used to it naturally.

"Many people are happy that Envoy Shen left Seoul, and many people regret it."

"Happy or not, I left Seoul too."

Shen Qiyuan laughed.

The expression is relaxed, but the heart is cautious, calculating the other party's intention.

Looking all the way from Seoul to Jeolla-do, the southernmost place, Shen Qiyuan didn't think that the other party would come to chat with him specially.

"Actually, I don't want Ambassador Shen to leave Seoul either."

Shen Qiyuan was calm when he heard the words.

Observation envoy of Jeolla Province.

For ordinary people, it is an unattainable position, but with his identity and qualifications, it is actually a demotion.

"Before I came, I talked with Jin Gong. He will try his best to persuade the rest of the people to let Shen envoy return to Seoul as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid Li Gui won't agree."

Shen Qiyuan laughed.

The Western faction pushed Li Zhen to the position of the lord of the country, relying on the advantage of presiding over anyway, and took control of North Korea's power.

All other factions were suppressed and expelled.

Under such circumstances, more and more ministers opposed the Western faction.

Faced with this situation, the Western faction also had a dispute.

The old Western faction headed by Jin Yan believed that the ministers of the other parties should be admitted to ease the tense situation.

The Shaoxi faction headed by Li Gui firmly opposed it and advocated strengthening the dominant position of the Westerners.

Therefore, Shen Qiyuan didn't think that Jin Yan could persuade Li Gui and others.

"Ugh."

Tao Jie sighed.

Although North Korea is big, there are too many honored ministers.

The ministers of the Old West faction have obtained enough benefits, do not want to change, and are willing to share the benefits of the Runxi faction.

However, the ministers of the Shaoxi faction did not gain enough benefits, so they demanded to continue to strengthen the status of the ministers of the Western faction.

The former is full, but the latter is not.

And more parties don't even have to eat.

Shen Qiyuan's departure from Seoul represents the complete abandonment of the rest of the parties to the Western faction, and it is very likely that there will be a seizure of power by force.

"In any case, Seoul should have your place."

Tao Jie said sincerely.

Shen Qiyuan shook his head.

He is not alone.

There are many people behind him, and it is precisely because of the support of these people that he is Shen Qiyuan and the reason why the Western School pays attention to him.

It's easy to go back to Seoul by yourself, but if you don't help those who support him get their goals, these people will leave him.

He can tell which is more important.

Tao Jie said everything he should say, and his expression gradually became serious.

"The general will enter the DPRK. No matter what the domestic disputes are in North Korea, there must be no change until the general leaves North Korea."

"It's an honor for Marquis Ping Liao to enter the court. I believe that no one will do anything that makes Marquis Ping Liao unhappy."

After Tao Jie heard Shen Qiyuan's reply, he nodded and continued.

"The general also doesn't want North Korea to change in the future."

new requirements.

Shen Qiyuan was silent.

Marquis Ping Liao is very powerful in North Korea, but it doesn't mean Marquis Ping Liao can cover the sky with one hand.

The interest demands of the ministers can be postponed for Ping Liaohou.

However, important matters related to the survival of the family will never be accepted willingly just because of Marquis Ping Liao's language.

"No matter which faction is in power, it will not affect the friendship between North Korea and Jin Jiangzhen."

Shen Qiyuan looked solemnly and looked at Tao Jie seriously.

Of course Tao Jie understood Shen Qiyuan's words.

For the person in front of him, Tao Jie still appreciates it very much, knowing the ability and talent of the other person is just a pity.

the general once said.

The materials in Dazhou are uniquely endowed by nature, and the people's craftsmanship is superb.

With the help of Dazhou's domestic advantages, develop sea trade, attract businessmen from many countries, and rush to buy Dazhou's products.

This is the most important thing in Jinjiang Town.

North Korea's population is not weak, and it is adjacent to Jinjiang Town, so it should be united.

This is the second most important in Jinjiang Town.

Then.

A stable North Korea under the control of Jin Jiangzhen is extremely important.

Whether it is Li Shi and others as far as he knows, Li Yu, Lord Xing'an who wants to help him to the throne, or Shen Qiyuan and others, Li Deren, Lord Huai En who wants to help him to the throne.

At least for now.

None of them were considered by Jin Jiangzhen.

Because the current lord, Li Zhen, has done a good job.

The friendship between the two sides became more and more stable.

Whether it is the [-] Korean troops defending Liaoyang, or the three rebel troops scattered in Gyeongsang-do or Jeolla-do.

Both have the support of the North Korean leader.

In the good situation, Jinjiang Town, like the old western school, does not want to change.

Because Jin Jiangzhen is also full.

Tao Jie said everything that should be said, and also said what should not be said.

Then how these people will decide, no one can control him, but he hopes that these people can listen to his words.

"Without the general's support, no one will be able to overthrow Seoul. Instead, it will lead to the disaster of destroying the family. Think twice before acting."

Shen Qiyuan narrowed his eyes.

Shen Qiyuan is the father of Queen Zhaoxian and the eighth grandson of Shen Wen.

It is the great-great-grandson of Shen Dayuan who was implicated in Jimaoshi's disaster. After Jimaoshi's disaster, his family has not been seen for generations.

In his generation, he was just a Confucian scholar without fame.

And such a person was praised as a hero by the North Korean ministers, and his current status shows his mind and heart.

Although Ping Liaohou is powerful, he is not afraid.

The same is true in history.

Faced with the strength of the Qing Dynasty, he believed that the Qing Dynasty had offended the world, and cooperated with the Ming army to repel the Qing army and help the Ming court restore Liaodong.

He is a hero who will move forward unswervingly if he has a determination in his heart.

Later, he was captured because he failed anyway, and then sent by Shaoxi, regardless of the opposition of the rest, and finally executed by Ling Chi.

Seeing his expression, Tao Jie didn't move at all, and sighed in his heart.

The former fan was in Jinzhou.

I told the general about the situation in North Korea. The general pointed out that this person is the only one who will not be affected by the strength of the Jin Jiang army and should be given attention, which is another matter.

I tested it myself just now, and it was exactly as the general said.

Verbal words are not as good as what you see with your own eyes, Tao Jie finally said with a smile.

"The Jinjiang army is about to enter the court, and the envoy Shen can return to Seoul. After seeing the might of the Jinjiang army, it will not be too late to make a decision."

Only then did Shen Qiyuan change color.

How can this person predict that he will move?

Did he inquire, or guess what?
Rat bogeyman.

After Tao Jie left, Shen Qiyuan didn't dare to act rashly.

But the person who should be in contact is still in contact to strengthen their own strength.

After leaving Jeolla-do.

Tao Jie visited the places where the generals of the three rebel armies were stationed, and then returned to Seoul.

North Korea is divided into eight provinces.

They are Hamgyong-do, Pyongan-do, Hwanghae-do, Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, Chungcheong-do, Jeolla-do, and Gyeongsang-do.

There are states, prefectures, counties and counties under the road.

Liu Xingzuo informed Tao Jie of the North Korean king's attitude, and Tao Jie's face was not surprised.

"I have worked so hard and traveled all over half of the country in North Korea, isn't it also for the stability of the throne of the king of North Korea.

Not only should he appreciate it, but he should also be grateful to Dade. "

When Liu Xingzuo heard Tao Jie's words, although his tone was arrogant, he didn't feel that he was brazen, so he nodded in approval of the other party.

He is in charge of the palace, and Tao Jie is in charge of the whole of North Korea.

The two communicated with each other, and both had a good understanding of the domestic situation in North Korea.

"If it weren't for Mr. Tao's hard work, there might have been a rebellion in North Korea long ago. How could there be such peace?"

Tao Jie knew that Liu Xingzuo was not flattering himself.

Although the other party is a general anyway, but the deep love and trust of the general, there is no need to be afraid of yourself.

It can be seen that even Liu Xingzuo believes that the situation of North Korea is extremely unstable.

"Li Shi from Ping'an Road is guarded by us in Zhenjiang. He probably doesn't dare to act rashly, but Shen Qiyuan from Quanluo Road needs to beware of this person."

Tao Jie said.

Liu Xingzuo was puzzled.

"There is Roh Sun-yi in Jeolla-do, Gyeongju-do on the right side of Jeolla-do has Go Jin-gwon and Yoo Yi-cheon, and the three of them have seven thousand troops.

Could it be that Shen Qiyuan can't be held back? "

Tao Jie shook his head.

Shen Qiyuan is a talent, and he is also a person pushed out by many forces in North Korea. Without him, there will be others.

He is not alone.

Hearing Tao Jie's explanation, Liu Xingzuo frowned.

According to his intention, kill to avoid future troubles, but Tao Jie believes that killing the other party is useless, but it will cause the people in the field to act more secretly.

The two discussed it, and they could only come to the conclusion that they should stare at this person.

Shen Qiyuan didn't move in Quanzhou.

Not only Tao Jie's people were watching him secretly, but also the old Xi faction and Shaoxi faction sent people to watch him.

But beware.

Unable to prevent many factions, especially the Northern faction which was under full siege by the Western faction, they took the initiative to contact Shen Qiyuan.

The speed of the expansion of strength is hard to see.

The influence is not limited to Jeolla Province, but even Nanhan Mountain City in Guangzhou, Gyeonggi. A large number of middle and lower level military officers have secretly taken refuge in him.

Although Shen Qiyuan failed, he left Seoul.

He went to the place alone, far away from the political center, and lost his authority, but in the place, Shen Qiyuan gained a bigger sky.

~~~~~~
The right Sima Wangxuan of the military commander, Lin Ruhai, the promoted official of the Jiedu Mansion, and Li Bosheng, the general in charge, led the entourage and officials, and arrived in North Korea first.

Before the general arrives, contact the ministers in Seoul.

Their arrival indicated that Marquis Ping Liao was coming soon.

soon.

The Jinjiang army mobilized two battalions of six thousand soldiers and one cavalry battalion of two thousand cavalry.

Under the leadership of General Liu Chengmin, they crossed the Yalu River, passed Pingan Road, Huanghai Road, and arrived in Seoul, North Korea.

Under Tao Jie's introduction, the honored officials of North Korea, including important officials such as Jin Yan, met the officials of Jinjiang Town.

"Jinjiang Town and our country are close neighbors separated by a narrow strip of water, and even best friends and allies in marriage."

Jin Yan said to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai also had a smile all over his face.

He accompanied the eldest son to the court before, and he had contact with everyone. This time, he had a heavy responsibility, and the two sides became more and more intimate.

"For the joint operations of the two sides, attacking the barbarians, so as to eliminate the serious troubles of both sides, it is an incumbent task, and it will definitely satisfy Marquis Ping Liao."

"Ambassador Jin, the general once said that you are the god of the sea in North Korea. With veterans like you around, North Korea will surely prosper.

And because of the presence of your group of veterans, the general firmly believes that the friendship between us will last forever and will never change. "

Because Jin Yan had been sent to Da Zhou many times, he was called a holy envoy by the people in the country, which was also his greatest qualifications, so Lin Ruhai called him Ambassador Jin instead of his official name.

Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jin Yan laughed even more from ear to ear.

It seemed that he was not the one who proposed to the North Korean king when he entered the palace.

Compared with the friendship between his family and Jinjiang Town, if the family can be guaranteed to survive, then the hardships of the people are nothing.

The people are like weeds, which cannot be pulled out and burned. When the spring breeze blows, a new stubble will always grow, which will endlessly support the North Korean country.

Just like when the Japanese pirates entered the dynasty, in order to preserve the family, the honored ministers were well-informed and ran quickly. Only the remaining common people could independently resist the Japanese pirates.

After the Japanese pirates retreated, the rebel army formed by these common people was cleaned up by the honored ministers who came back.

If it weren't for the appearance of Marquis Ping Liao, the three North Korean rebels who had cooperated with the Jin Jiang army many times would have been dilapidated.

Another example is the entry of gold into the dynasty after the original time and space.

The honored officials of North Korea also surrendered Houjin in order to preserve their families and rights. Only the people's resistance kept North Korea.

Because of the fleeing of the people and the loss of his own interests, the former Pan Jinzhen came forward to alienate the North Korean king.

Now with Lin Ruhai's words and the power of Marquis Ping Liao entering the court, the people fleeing, and the little damage they suffered is nothing.

The weakness of the interest class is vividly displayed.

Before the general arrived, the role of Lin Ruhai and others was to use the prestige of the general to negotiate with the honored ministers of North Korea to settle all matters.

Military Commander Wang Xuan asked Jin Yan and Li Gui how many North Korean soldiers would go to Seoul for military training.

"I'm going to confirm this matter with Wang Sima. What should be the best number?"

Li Gui asked.

Wang Xuan replied with a smile.

"Five thousand is the standard, and at least 2000 people from Lu Shunyi's department, Gao Jinquan's department, and Liu Yi's department need to be transferred."

Hearing this, Li Gui began to calculate in his heart.

In this way, outside Seoul, the forces of the Jinjiang army crushed the North Korean army.

"Then tune three parts for two thousand."

Before Li Gui could speak, Jin Yan made a final decision.

Seeing that Jin Yan had already agreed, Li Gui could only swallow the thoughts in his heart.

Outside Seoul.

Next to the Han River.

The Jinjiang army camp was erected, as well as the North Korean army camp.

The Jinjiang barracks, together with the personal guard battalion that General Gongwei entered the court soon, totaled [-] soldiers. In the North Korean barracks, there were [-] guard soldiers and [-] rebel troops from the three divisions.

The two battalions have a total of [-] soldiers, of which [-] soldiers will undergo a large-scale military training, and then parade in front of the Royal Palace Square in Seoul.

In Seoul, there are more than [-] soldiers of the palace guards, and nearly [-] soldiers of the Jinjiang Army stationed in Seoul.

That is to say, with the addition of the three rebel armies, the force directly and indirectly controlled by Tang Qing'an reached [-] troops.

The rest are [-] Korean guards, [-] Korean palace guards, and only [-] troops.

Although in a foreign country, there is no big difference.

With the entry of Jinjiang town's civil and military generals and elite soldiers, the North Korean king greeted them with a smile, as if he had no dissatisfaction at all.

According to reports from the clippers, the general's fleet will arrive the next day.

Day two.

On the pier of the Han River.

The soldiers led by Liu Xingzuo had already quieted down the street, and all the idlers were swept away.

Jin Yu, Li Gui, Shen Jingzhen of Seoul, Zheng Douyuan, the envoy of payment, Zhang Wanzhi, the envoy of inspection, Nan Yixiong, the envoy of salary, Li Shangji, the supervisor of safety, Li Guanchi, the governor of Uiju...

As well as the generals of the guard army, as well as the civil and military officials of Jinjiang Town, all greeted and waited here.

at last.

A ship sailed into the Han River and appeared in people's sight, and then more and more ships appeared.

Teams of soldiers from the pro-guard battalion stepped onto the Korean land from the steps, wearing fine armor and holding sharp weapons, standing on both sides.

Lin Ruhai, Tao Jie, Liu Xingzuo, Jin Zhen, Li Gui and others all rushed forward to greet him.

Tang Qing'an stepped off the pedal with a smile on his face and looked at the faces of many people.

"Congratulations to Shangchao Ping Liaohou."

"You are welcome."

"Ambassador Jin, Mr. Li Yuan, long time no see, don't come here to be safe."

Tang Qing'an took the initiative to greet two old acquaintances.

Back then when he was the general of Jinzhou, when he had just regained Zhenjiang, the two people in front of him went to Zhenjiang in person to win his support to overthrow the regime of the former lord Li Hui.

The two sighed in the same heart.

The general of the previous dynasty had become the de facto king of Liaodong, and the influence in North Korea was getting bigger and bigger. Even the two of them couldn't resist it.

North Korea has a registered population of 600 million, and it is estimated that there are 300 million hidden households.

In terms of scale, it is not weaker than Jinjiang Town at all, and it is much higher than Jinjiang Town.

And this person can stir up troubles in North Korea without much effort.

Layer after layer of tightness, only its power in North Korea has been able to control the political situation in North Korea.

There is nothing to be done about these methods, and the general situation is gone, so even Jin Yan, an extremely senior honored official, is deeply afraid and dare not be disrespectful in front of him.

Everyone knows that this person oppresses North Korea, but no one dares not to get close to him, let alone resist him.

Because North Korea cannot be united internally.

"The general is still so young. I really envy the old people. I often order the children in the family to take the general as the leader."

Jin Yan and others met Tang Qing'an when they were in Zhenjiang, and at that time they still called him General of the Shang Dynasty.

Now instead of taking the initiative to get close, he changed his name to a general.

Tang Qing'an said with a smile: "When I meet the King of Korea, I really want to meet your children and take the school exam."

Jin Yan was overjoyed.

When the rest of the people heard it, they were also envious, and secretly scolded the old man for being so shameless, and then took the initiative to recommend their own children.

"Father."

Sudden.

The tender voice of the boy came over.

Tang Yanqian led the timid North Korean princess, and behind them was the old eunuch Lin Zhong, who was bending over and smiling.

"Come here."

Tang Qing'an immediately beckoned, and Lin Zhong hurriedly led the two children over.

Tang Yanqian hadn't seen his father for two years, and he already felt unfamiliar. He leaned back and forth, but he didn't reach out his hand like before.

Tang Qing'an didn't care about the feelings of the people around him, and hugged him directly.

Weigher than before.

"did you miss me."

At this time, Tang Yanqian nodded vigorously.

"My lord."

Tang Qing'an put Tang Yangan down, and Tang Yangan pulled the princess of North Korea.

Although he is only three years old, he is not fully sensible yet, but after being nurtured by the nuns, he already knows how to salute.

"Good, good, good."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

Although he knew the name of the princess of North Korea, North Korea followed the court etiquette, and his daughter's boudoir name was not allowed to be disclosed.

And she was too young to have a title, so she called her Weng Zhu directly.

If nothing unexpected happened, this would be his future daughter-in-law.

When everyone saw Marquis Ping Liao's actions, they suddenly realized that Marquis Ping Liao loved his children very much, as the rumors said.

The kings and ministers of North Korea have attached great importance to Tang Yanqian since they came, and this time they witnessed the behavior of Marquis Pingliao's love for his son.

Those aristocratic families who sent their children to Tang Yanqian as his companions became more and more excited.

The aristocratic families who failed to do so also thought that they must find an opportunity.

After all this, more than half an hour has passed since I greeted everyone on the pier.

Wang Ben, who was in the personal guard camp, went to inspect the camp before rushing back, and nodded to Wan San from a distance.

Only then did Wan San walk to the general and told him that he could go to the camp.

Crow crushed the crowd.

Did not enter Seoul, went directly to Jinjiang army camp.

The envoy representing the king had already sent rich rewards, such as pigs, sheep, deer, rabbits, etc., as well as fine wine from North Korea.

The matter of military training.

Military commander You Sima Wang Xuan, participating general Li Bosheng, and training general Li Xingli performed together.

at this time.

Jeonju, the southernmost state of North Korea.

The Eastern Party, the Southern Party, and the Eastern Party and the Northern Party are several major factions, and there are also some small factions, or family members who have declined.

Especially the Eastern Party and the Northern Faction.

The Dongdang internally treats the hardliners who occupied the Western Party in Seoul and splintered out, as well as some of the Dabei faction who were in power during the former North Korean king.

Because of Western style, all combined together.

Just like back then.

When facing the Great Northern faction, apart from the Great Northern faction who is present now, the rest of the factions are also combined with the Western faction just like the current situation.

It's like a never-ending cycle.

"How to say?"

Some people can't help it.

Everyone looked at him coldly.

Marquis Ping Liao is in Seoul, what should I say?
North Korea's insurgency is different.

Whichever faction occupies Seoul and prevents the counterattack has basically won the victory.

Who dares to attack Seoul now?

That young disciple knew that what he said had offended everyone, so he quickly lowered his head and dared not continue speaking.

"I have contacted Lu Shunyi."

"What he meant was that he only listened to Marquis Ping Liao."

"what?"

……

Hearing this, most of the people present were dissatisfied.

How dare a martial artist who was born as a commoner not take the two classes of honorable officials seriously.

To be lucky enough to get the current position, one should be grateful to the two classes, only the loyal ones.

The people could not understand the ingratitude of this man.

Shen Qiyuan understood.

Although he is also from the second class, but his family has been in decline since he was a child, he can understand the thoughts of the people at the bottom.
