The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 394 Two classes and daimyo

Mobi Mountain outside Seoul.

Dotted by soldiers and flags is like a garden. In the gorgeous weather, the extremely colorful colors make people's eyes sharper.

The foot of the mountain is surrounded by mountains.

Li Jing rode forward with difficulty, trying to maintain his kingly demeanor on the bumpy horseback.

The old eunuch Lin Zhong couldn't ride a horse, so he worriedly asked his nephew Lin Zhiyuan to take good care of His Highness.

Li Ji's father and elder brother were all killed, and he was born with worry since he was a child, and was imprisoned invisible for many years.

fortunately.

Lin Zhong carefully selected a gentle horse for him.

Beside him, Marquis Ping Liao also rode a horse, which was a prairie horse bred by Jinjiang Town on Jeju Island.

In the racecourse of Jeju Island, the tallest, strongest, and not grumpy bay red horse was found.

Behind the two were generals, guards, and officials.

"Please."

Since hunting, it is definitely necessary to shoot the prey.

Three days ago, soldiers searched here, drove away large wild animals, and released deer, rabbits and other wild animals.

A sika deer.

Inadvertently contained a trace of intention, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Tang Qing'an stepped aside.

Make a gesture and ask the North Korean king to shoot first.

Li Jing managed to hold the horse, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. His back was already wet with sweat. Knowing his level, he didn't dare to make a fool of himself in public.

"I'm not good at archery, please Ping Liao to wait for archery."

"Respect His Highness's will, the foreign minister has made a fool of himself."

heard.

Tang Qing'an was not polite, took off the bow and arrow, weighed the weight in his hand, and found the feel silently.

Following Pingliaohou's actions, the ministers around him and the soldiers in the distance all watched Pingliaohou quietly.

If you miss.

There will be no real impact.

But if you can hit it.

The honored ministers, soldiers, and people present in North Korea will associate the word Yingwu with Marquis Pingliao.

Increase Ping Liaohou's impression in the hearts of Koreans.

And the officials, generals, and soldiers of Jinjiang Town present will feel proud and increase their sense of honor.

The role of psychology, no one knows how big it will be, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does.

Just like some generals fighting, his personal guards are desperate to block arrows and knives for him, while some generals are like bereaved dogs.

Like the weather, unpredictable.

If it was his second younger brother, he would definitely be able to catch him.

Tang Qing'an drew the bowstring.

"Whoosh."

……

An arrow was inserted into the back of the sika deer. It was so stimulated and panicked by the riders that it was already exhausted.

No longer ignoring the intimidation of the surrounding riders, he fled from among the riders in a panic.

"color."

"color."

The riders of the Jinjiang Army, with red faces and thick necks, shouted with all their strength.

Along with North Korean soldiers, they also shouted.

"it is good."

The officials clapped their hands and laughed too.

Several riders left the crowd, chasing the injured sika deer, trying to bring it back intact.

Many North Korean soldiers are also quietly looking at Marquis Pingliao in the distance.

the person's reputation.

In North Korea, everyone knows everyone.

The lord of the country, Li Zhen, smiled like the officials beside him, showing approval.

There was another trace of envy in his eyes.

Although I am the leader of North Korea, when it comes to the strength of the two, I have no name.

Marquis Ping Liao dared to shoot.

With his martial arts, and his confidence that he doesn't care about his own shooting.

But he didn't dare to shoot himself.

"The general is good at archery."

Li Gui clapped his hands and laughed.

Tang Qing'an put away his bow and arrow, and smiled when he heard this.

"Compared to the good guys in the army, I'm an axe, but it's really itchy. Fortunately, I'm lucky and I'm not ashamed."

"Haha."

Everyone laughed together.

Laughing.

Li Zhen felt a little lonely.

As the lord of North Korea, he should be the lord who is surrounded by people, and Marquis Ping Liao, although he is polite to himself.

But the limelight always surrounds him.

The honored ministers of North Korea can speak Chinese, and their proficiency in Chinese characters is a sign of family status. As for Chinese, at least everyone present can speak it fluently.

Although in a foreign country, there is no difference.

In front.

A circle was surrounded by curtains, many platforms were built, and sheds were arranged on both sides.

Provide everyone with a place to rest.

The king of North Korea sat at the top, and Tang Qing'an sat on the left.

The eldest son, Tang Yanqian, lived with Ge Shifeng and the sons of the honored ministers of North Korea to congratulate his father on his prey.

"Who gave you the sword on your waist, show it to me."

Tang Yanqian took his beloved little iron sword, and even though he was reluctant to part with what his father said, he obediently handed it over.

"It was given to the young master by the end general."

Ge Shifeng clasped his fists and said proactively.

Tang Qing'an drew out a small sword, a sword that had not been sharpened.

The workmanship is relatively simple, without gorgeous decorations. Compared with ordinary swords, the blade is thinner.

Feeling the weight of the sword, Tang Qing'an soon realized why he made the sword so thin.

If the blade is wider, the weight will be heavier, and the current ratio still has weight, which is just right for Xiaogan.

It can be seen that although it is not expensive enough, it has also used a lot of thought.

Handing the sword to his eager son, Tang Qing'an looked at Ge Shifeng with approval.

own son.

Of course, you have to follow your own footsteps. You are still young, and you can't get lost in the rich and noble township, but you have to know how to use force.

Ge Shifeng came to North Korea to look after Tang Yanqian, Tang Qingan assured him.

"You're fine."

Ge Shifeng finally showed a smile, seeing that the general had nothing else to say, he led Xiaogan to the next shed.

Tang Qing'an sat back in his seat, glanced at the people around him, and seeing Marquis Ping Liao's expression, he knew that he had something to say.

Everyone fell silent, waiting for Marquis Ping Liao to speak.

I have to worry about the leader of North Korea, but I can't worry too much about him.

Without waiting for Li Zhen's order, Tang Qing'an took the initiative to raise his voice.

"The barbarians and the Koreans have been at odds for hundreds of years, and have even invaded the frontiers many times and plundered the people.

The Great Zhou and North Korea were ruled by clan and vassal states. In order to punish the barbarians, the two sides jointly sent troops to Saarhu, but Mr. Guanghai had an affair with the barbarians, which led to a big defeat.

The barbarians occupied Zhenjiang, threatening the gateway to North Korea and causing turmoil in North Korea.

over the years.

Fortunately, there are all sages who understand the righteousness and righteousness. In the face of danger, they will fight against chaos, drive out the stupid, support the holy king, and restore the country to clarity.

And I, Jinjiang Town, was ordered by the imperial court to recover Liaodong. With today's situation, all the sages have made great efforts, and the credit cannot be ignored.

Because of the war with the barbarians, the Korean country has suffered for many years, and the people are in hardship.

In fact, the same is true of Jinjiang Town.

Both Dazhou and North Korea are countries that yearn for peace. Officials govern the region and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

But the barbarians are different. They are ambitious, do not respect ethics, and lead beasts to eat people.

Jin Jiangzhen and everyone, after years of hard work, have reached the final step. Although there are many difficulties, I hope. "

Tang Qing'an glanced at Jin Yan, Shen Qin, Li Gui, Cui Mingji and others.

Everyone breathed softly, pricked up their ears, and listened carefully to Marquis Ping Liao's speech in the distance, not daring to mishear a word.

"Grit your teeth, mobilize supplies, and send troops together to defeat the barbarians in one fell swoop and win peace for our descendants."

In Li Zhen's ears, the word "Zhu Xian" only felt harsh.

Although he ascended the throne because of "Zhuxian", he didn't feel much gratitude in his heart, and he felt disgusted even more these years.

As a wise man, he knows when and what to do.

"Ping Liaohou said, deep in my heart."

In the previous episode, it was still Jin Yan who warned himself, but as soon as Marquis Ping Liao entered the court, it was as if nothing had happened to these honored officials.

On the contrary, it seems that he is against Ping Liaohou, which is really dirty.

then.

Before the sages spoke, he praised Ping Liaohou.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your approval."

Tang Qing'an smiled back.

With North Korea's potential, sending 6 to [-] troops is not a major problem, and it will only be trapped by two squadrons, resulting in a emptiness of national power.

As long as Liangban doesn't oppose him, North Korea can fulfill Jin Jiangzhen's request.

Class Two really couldn't oppose him.

Because whoever opposes him, he supports another faction.

All the people present here are smart people, and a smart person should know what to do, what not to touch, and not to be impulsive.

Li Zhen's behavior just now, many of the second class Xunchen saw, and they were dissatisfied with him.

But Li Zhen didn't care.

These ministers didn't care about him either.

Tang Qing'an always repays those who support him.

For example Jia Fu.

For example, the Xue family.

For example historians.

For example, Jinxiang Houfu and so on.

and so.

On the way back from hunting, Tang Qing'an and Li Xi took a carriage together.

"Although there are compromises from the old western faction, the toughness of the young western faction has made the situation worse. Many people in the second class are not satisfied with Seoul."

Li Jing is not very old, only seven or eight years older than himself.

If there is no accident, this person is as smart as ever, then he and himself still have a long way to go.

Tang Qing'an took the initiative to remind Li Zhen that it is the long-term way to reciprocate.

"There's nothing I can do about it."

Li Zhen smiled wryly.

He was creating chaos for his own power, and everyone won the victory, fighting for power, so they didn't care about his thoughts.

Tang Qing'an understood the other party's difficulties.

Just like in history, this person, as the lord of the country, wanted to exempt the ministers who caused chaos, so that no one could contain the Western faction.

Because he was not a Western School, he was worried about future troubles, so he was overruled by the Western School, and Ling Chi was sentenced to death.

It can be seen that it has no prestige.

"His Royal Highness's support for Jinjiang Town, the foreign minister will always remember it, and the friendship between our two families will not change.

No matter what happens in North Korea, foreign officials will support His Highness. "

Hearing this, Li Zhen was at a loss.

Although he is the leader of North Korea, his understanding of the country is not as good as that of Tang Qing'an. With the efforts of Tao Jie and others, he is even more clear.

Li Jing knew that many people were dissatisfied, but after hearing the voice of Marquis Ping Liao, would someone make trouble again?

He really wanted to ask Marquis Ping Liao who he would be.

But soon he was relieved.

It's not always those two classes of honorable officials.

If these Yangbans that are rooted in the country and integrated with the country can be eliminated, North Korea will no longer be North Korea.

The two shifts made trouble, not once or twice.

It happened many times before he came to power.

With Ping Liaohou's personal promise, Li Zhen felt a little peace of mind.

At least.

No one can threaten his safety.

Tang Qing'an will indeed keep him, as long as the other party stays close to Jinjiang Town as usual.

in Seoul.

After the two sides parted, Tang Qing'an returned to the camp, and the two groups of honorable officials came to visit in an endless stream.

Jin Yan.

He is a descendant of Jin Chengqi, the hero who assisted Li Fangyuan in seizing the throne, but by the time he was born, he had been reduced to an ordinary Yangban family.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Tang Qing'an couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After all, it was a method passed down by the family, once again finding the right time to lead the rebellion, allowing his family to regain power.

"I won't support anyone else."

After hearing Marquis Pingliao's assurance, Jin Yan was relieved.

"However, Xipai behaves like this and does not give others a way out. Even if I don't support it, I believe that the rebellion will increase and cannot be quelled."

Tang Qing'an looked at Jin Yan and said seriously.

Hearing this, Jin Yan let out a long sigh.

This is the norm in their country.

Although he wanted to give up some benefits to appease other ministers, the Shaoxi faction firmly refused.

Although he wields power, he is also a member of the Western faction. He also needs the support of his ministers in order to stabilize his power and cannot go his own way.

He can see the future troubles that Ping Liaohou said, but he can't eliminate it, so he can only remain vigilant.

Jin Yan got the guarantee from Marquis Ping Liao and left contentedly.

night.

People hiding in the dark also came to visit Ping Liao Hou and made a lot of promises to win Ping Liao Hou to support them.

Marquis Ping Liao himself is powerful, and his power in North Korea is gradually growing.

For example, Jeolla-do, Gyeongsang-do, when they resisted the Japanese pirates, many rebels gathered by the common people, the transformed army.

It was already weak, but because of his support, its strength recovered.

Among them, although there are not many soldiers, the three rebels have sufficient military resources and their combat effectiveness has skyrocketed, so they should not be underestimated.

There are no two groups of honorable officials who can disregard Ping Liaohou's attitude and cause riots. Even if they raise their troops, they will fail in the end.

"Before the war is settled, I don't want to see bad things, and no matter what the future holds, Lingyang-kun is my friend."

Tang Qing'an met these people and warned them.

After these people left, some went back to the north, and some went back to the south.

Jeonju, the capital of Jeolla-do.

When Shen Qiyuan and the others heard the message from the envoy who came back from Seoul, everyone was dissatisfied.

"The Marquis of Ping Liao disregarded our country's national conditions and wantonly meddled in our country's national affairs. I really thought that I could cover the sky with one hand. I could go to court and accuse Ping Liao Marquis."

"Will the upper court support us?"

Someone worried.

"When Lord Yanshan was overthrown, he was jealous of the Ming Emperor and concealed it for many years, and even when the Great Zhou established the country, the hidden dangers were eliminated."

Lin Qingye, governor of Le'an County, Jeolla Province, said worriedly.

"then what should we do?"

The trusted generals under Shen Qiyuan's command, Huang Zhen, Li Yuan and others were at a loss.

This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, can't we find a way?

As a vassal state of the Great Zhou Dynasty, under the suzerain-vassal system, only the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had the right to abolish the monarch of the vassal state.

Shen Qiyuan's family was in decline, and he recovered his family all the way to where he is today, and was praised for his quick wit and quick thinking.

Unlike everyone else, he thought carefully about Marquis Ping Liao's language.

"Marquis Ping Liao is not against us."

Everyone was shocked.

"But you can't overthrow Li Zhen."

"Isn't it the same if you don't overthrow Li Zhen?"

"No, we can achieve our goal by overthrowing the Western faction."

Shen Qiyuan smiled.

~~~~~~
Everyone who could be seen has been seen, everything that should be said has been said, and his goal has been achieved. Tang Qing'an bid farewell to Li Zhen and prepared to return to the country without taking a boat.

The seeing off of the two classes of ministers is not mentioned.

On the four-wheeled carriage, Tang Qing'an explained to Tao Jie how Jin Jiang Town could continue to maintain its extraordinary status regarding the future competition between the two groups of honorable officials.

Tao Jie quickly understood the general's intentions.

on the whole.

The general doesn't want too much civil unrest in North Korea.

Because Jinjiang Town needs North Korea's efforts, there are still many places.

"Japan, like the barbarians, is ambitious. Looking at its history, after the country was unified, it invaded other countries thousands of years ago, and it has always been continuous.

Its behavior is cannibalistic and inhumane.

In the past, they only dared to invade North Korea, Ryukyu, etc., but now they are bold and reckless. Since the Ming Dynasty, they have dared to spy on the land of China.

After the Tokugawa shogunate seized power, it declared to the outside world that it would not launch a war, not to mention the envoys sent by our country, and even the envoys sent to North Korea also claimed that they were willing to make peace.

All this is not because they have no ambitions, but because they were afraid of being beaten up by our army when the Japanese invaded the dynasty.

Otherwise, how to explain the current plight of the Ryukyu Kingdom?It can be seen that his ambition has never disappeared. "

Tao Jie was in charge of North Korea affairs, and Tang Qing'an needed to explain many things to him to prevent him from making mistakes.

In terms of understanding of this era, Tang Qing'an can be sure that no one can surpass him at present.

In terms of specific affairs, Tao Jie's talent is extraordinary, and he is not as good as him, but in terms of the overall situation, this person cannot be compared with him.

Hearing what the general said, Tao Jie thought about Japan carefully.

Japan has sent envoys to Dazhou many times, with a humble attitude, although due to various accidents, the two countries did not have in-depth exchanges.

However, because of the disappearance of pirates along the coast, officials in Dazhou generally believed that Japan would really change.

If it was someone else, Tao Jie might not believe it, but Tao Jie firmly believed in the general's words.

"You will be blamed if you don't die if you beat a tiger. How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? As for the shogunate, I will definitely destroy it.

All the big names from all over the world must accept the title of the Great Zhou and recognize the management of the Great Zhou. Whoever has the heart of dissatisfaction must defeat him. "

Tao Jie was only in charge of North Korea, but the general talked about Japan.

Based on my understanding of the general, there must be a connection between the two, so I didn't interrupt and listened carefully.

"Jinjiang Town was born in response to the hearts of the people, and it is strong because of the hearts of the people. It is the duty of everyone from top to bottom to shoulder the responsibility of the nation.

The barbarians are in decline. I have seen the arrangement of the military commander, and they are steady and steady. If there are no accidents, the barbarians will inevitably fail.

And King Zhongshun was trapped in the Jinxiang Hou Mansion, unable to deal with us.

With the right time, place and people, we will surely win.

After winning the victory, Jinjiang Town is far from the time when Ma Fang Nanshan should take responsibility.

The Tokugawa shogunate has ruled for three generations and has a strong foundation, but it has just been unified after all, and there are many local contradictions.

The people in the country are still living in dire straits, and there are many disorderly people.

The Ryukyu Kingdom is a vassal state of our country, and it must support its army to expel the Satsuma vassal.

Then there will be a war between us and Satsuma.

Although I hope that the Tokugawa shogunate will proceed step by step according to my plan in the future, but when the war starts, no one can predict how far the scale will expand. "

Hearing this, Tao Jie was a little out of breath.

North Korea is a country with millions of people. Because of the general's unconstrained methods, it seems to see through the future, and the relationship between the suzerains and vassals of the two countries.

So the general unexpectedly, unbelievably, took North Korea easily. Although it was his method, it was just as the general said.

The right time and place are indispensable.

Instead of Jinjiang Town, it really has the strength to crush North Korea. It is easy to defeat the noble officials of North Korea, but it is difficult to conquer the people.

How can it be as easy as the general.

If it is really a head-on battle to completely conquer North Korea, even with Jinjiang Town's current strength, it will take at least several years, or even more than ten years of encirclement and suppression.

Now the general has to deal with the Tokugawa shogunate, which is far stronger than North Korea, farther away, and has a greater cultural difference.

And relying on the means of the army, Tao Jie dare not imagine, does Jinjiang Town have this strength?
Moreover, Jin Jiangzhen still has the threat of the imperial court behind him.

The procession stopped suddenly.

Tang Qing'an, whose thoughts were suddenly interrupted, frowned.

"what happened?"

"There is a commotion ahead, and the last general has sent people to investigate."

General Wan San of the Guards Battalion was outside the carriage, reporting inside.

soon.

Wang Ben rushed back.

"It's the local gentry who had conflicts with the people." After hesitating for a while, he said, "It is said that there are people in my Jinjiang town."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised.

Although this place is not far from the Yalu River, it is also within the territory of Ping'an Road. How could there be people from Jinjiang Town.

"Bring them all."

The general's voice came out.

Since it involves the people of his own family, Tang Qing'an must of course ask in person.

Han Minglian, the envoy of Guicheng Mansion, greeted Marquis Ping Liao on the way and joined the procession to see him off. He was also under his jurisdiction, so he rushed to apologize.

He and Li Shi belonged to the same faction, and they were also the two groups of honorable officials who were preparing to cause chaos, but in front of Marquis Ping Liao, they did not dare to make trouble.

Several Korean girls were protected by dozens of Han people, while the local gentry, with their servants, confronted each other.

If it weren't for the presence of Han Chinese among them, they would have been expelled by the officials long ago.

Wang Ben brought everyone over and explained the details to the general in the carriage.

Things are simple.

There are many Korean people who want to marry their children to Zhenjiang, and they are helped by the families of women who have married into Zhenjiang.

The families of the girls in front of them have already made marriage arrangements with the people in Zhenjiang.

But when it came time to marry, they were stopped by the local gentry, saying that these people were untouchables and had no freedom, and that the Han people were not allowed to take these girls away, so a conflict broke out between the two sides.

Tang Qing'an looked forward and saw dozens of people from his family outside the window. He immediately understood, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If you get married, you get married, and you need dozens of young adults. It can be seen that you are prepared and know that there will be conflicts.

"Is it really a pariah?"

Hearing Marquis Pingliao's inquiry about the matters within his jurisdiction, Han Minglian wanted to resolve them as soon as possible, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shook his head, smiled and said no, and left it to him to deal with.

The local squires are also two classes of honorable officials, but their families are relatively small.

Han Minglian pulled the squire over to persuade him, but the squire shook his head.

"I came here once the year before last, I came again last year, and I will come again this year. I will definitely not let him go. I am not afraid of this dispute even in Seoul."

Hearing this, Han Minglian sneered.

Whoever doesn't let him have a good time, he will definitely make it hard for him to walk around.
