The Red House starts from Liaodong

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo invaded and occupied a large area of ​​land. Although Zhu Di did not conquest, he did not have a clear ownership.

Until the Qing court, with the situation of setting up boundary markers, North Korea completed the expansion of the border south of the Tumen River without bloodshed.

Li Chenggui established himself as king, and the Ming Dynasty, the suzerain country, changed the name of Koryo to Joseon, and North Korea established the area south of the Tumen River as Hamgyong Province.

In the development from south to north, there are three core prefectures successively.

They are the southern core of Xianxing Mansion, the central core of Jizhou Mansion, and the northeast core of Jingcheng Mansion. At present, none of these three cities has been occupied by the Jinjiang Army.

In the hands of the Jinjiang Army, only Sanshui City, Jiashan City, and Changjin City are in the hands.

Xie Youcheng was in Zhenjiang, personally supervising the peasants, transporting food and military equipment, starting from Zhenjiang, going along the Yalu River to Tumen River, and finally to Sanshui.

The Nuer Gansi road was not developed, and the four-wheeled carriage could not be used. Even ordinary carts could only go to the Guangxun area.

The replacement is a human-powered unicycle, which can be used in mountainous areas and narrow dirt roads, but the requirements for people are also higher.

If you can't grasp the balance, it is easy to overturn.

The mountain road is even more dangerous, and the load is not high, ranging from one or two stones to two or three stones.

Grain, soybeans, fodder, eggs...cloth, medicine, arrows, horseshoes, weapons, cloth armor...

From the various warehouses in Zhenjiang, the officials sorted out a total of [-] shi according to the list.

Neatly placed in the new warehouse, it will be transported to the destination Changdianbao by numerous four-wheeled trucks.

The [-] peasants collected from Zhenjiang and the over [-] wheelbarrows made were loaded with various materials and went north along the Tumen River continuously.

It wasn't long before the team set off.

At the destination of Sanshui City, the folks who originally transported the supplies took an empty car and started to return. The entire Sanshui City has accumulated [-] to [-] shi of supplies.

The long supply line is also the lifeline of the [-] Eastern Expeditionary Army, and there is no room for sloppiness.The sheds along the road are repaired according to the distance, providing rest and accommodation for the peasants.

Even so comprehensive, all the way over the mountains and ridges, exhausted, there are still people who are exhausted, and there are also deaths.

Five thousand prairie riders, from Shenyang to Zhenjiang, were supplied by Qin Zhong along the way.

Qin Zhong was one of the officials in charge of the supply line from Zhenjiang to Sanshui.

"The power of the people is overwhelmed."

"Nothing."

Zheng Luo shook his head helplessly.

The plans of the military commander and the government for more than a year are not incomplete, but there are always times when they are poor.

Feng Shui turns.

Back then, they fought in the Liaodong mainland. Although the transportation of materials was difficult, they also suffered from the shortage of materials.

Now the supplies are sufficient, and we are not afraid of consumption along the way, but we are tired of the operation of supplies, unlike Liaodong, where roads have been repaired.

Qin Zhong used to be an official in Jinzhou, but he was sent to Shenyang last year to take part in the affairs of Mongolia, and this year he went to Zhenjiang to take part in the affairs of Korea.

A year of experience outside the field gave him more confidence and boldly put forward his ideas.

"The people in North Korea are poor, and the Yangban class is not trustworthy. They should win over the people in North Korea."

"How to win over?"

Zheng Luo asked.

"Using food as bait to recruit North Korean people to deliver food for us can reduce the strength of Sanshui City and strengthen our people's power, killing two birds with one stone."

Qin Zhong laughed.

That's how Liaohetao accompanied him.

The life of the herdsmen on the grassland is difficult, and Jinjiang Town only needs to provide food to attract countless herdsmen to go south.

Five thousand prairie riders, half of them came from his company.That is to say, the defensive pressure on Shenyang was reduced, and the strength of the Jinjiang army was strengthened.

The Jinjiang army regained Shanshui, Jiashan, and Changjin, and nothing that people worried about happened.

Before the fall of Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong also gathered a lot of Mongols, but when the old slave attacked the city, the Mongols mutinied, which was one of the reasons for the fall of Liaoyang.

So some people raised concerns about whether they would backtrack at critical times.

Qin Zhong didn't think so and raised objections.

This is a moment.

At that time, Liaodong lost all people's hearts, and there were spies all over the barbarians. People's hearts were flustered, and only the enemy had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Today's Liaodong is united as one, which is not the same.Not to mention that a horse cannot be abandoned just because a hoof is faulty.

"I'm afraid it will anger Class Two."

Zheng Luo didn't need to explain, but still explained to the young official in front of him, because the other party was Mrs. Qin's younger brother.

It's not that he didn't think about recruiting Korean people, but he didn't implement it because he was worried about the two classes of gentry in Sanshui.

Most of the population here became hermits or slaves, and were in the hands of the gentry.

Jin Jiangzhen was invited by the lord of the DPRK to enter the DPRK to counter the rebellion with the DPRK's national certificate, at least verbally.

The name is justifiable and righteous.

Therefore, the gentry in Sanshui are all waiting and watching, and no one has taken drastic actions yet.

Sanshui City thus remained stable.

But when the Jinjiang army affects their interests, I am afraid that the current stable situation will change drastically immediately.

"You can add one."

"Only recruit people who are registered, and do not accept people who are not registered in the official register."

Qin Zhong's idea solved the problem.

"I'm afraid that we won't be able to recruit many young and strong men. It will waste a lot of energy, but the effect will be insignificant. It's like tasteless."

From Zheng Luo's point of view, Qin Zhong's suggestion is not worth the loss, and the more he does it, the more accidents are likely to happen.

Qin Zhong didn't give up, and revealed it tactfully.

"Before we immigrated to Hamgyong Road in large numbers, the gentry here would not be easily moved by us. Instead, we would let the rights of the local gentry go to gain their support."

"They have a large number of hermits and slaves in their hands. If we don't win more people now, they will all fall into their hands in the future.

"Jieshi is afraid that even if Xianjing Road is recovered, we will have no people to use."

Everything is focused on war, or both war and people's livelihood.

Of course Zheng Luo hoped for the latter, but unfortunately the situation here is different and delicate, so he originally wanted to choose the former.

He is the chief officer, so he doesn't care about Qin Zhong's suggestion.

"Okay, do as you say."

Qin Zhong was overjoyed when he heard the words.

Looking at the back of Qin Zhong leaving, Zheng Luo shook his head.

Many things, involuntary.

Qin Zhong took the official messenger and issued a notice in Sanshui City.

Recruit Korean civilians to help transport supplies to Jiashan and Changjin. Each strong man provides two liters of food per day.

As soon as the notice came out, although the common people were illiterate, there were officials to explain it, and it was passed on to ten and ten to hundreds.

Soon hundreds of young men were recruited into Qin Zhong's hands.

His plan was to have 2000 people, which was far from his goal, but the matter was not urgent, and the news would gradually spread, and more and more people would respond when they heard about it.

Hundreds of Korean civilians joined the food transport team, some of them headed for Mount Jia, and some of them headed for Jangjin.

After solving this matter, Qin Zhong did not leave Sanshui City, but visited various places and contacted two classes of gentry in various places.

Many people learned that this person turned out to be Ping Liaohou's brother-in-law and uncle of the eldest son of Seoul, and their attitudes were completely different from before.

There are also quite a few sons of country gentry who are willing to help Qin Zhong in his work.

Qin Zhong, who had achieved initial results, was full of vigor.

Inside the senior management of Jinjiang Town, there are already rumors that when Hamgyong Road and Ping'an Road are successfully recovered, they will establish a joint residence with Hetuala City.

I have worked in the Jiedu Mansion for several years, and when it comes time to study local government affairs, I was in Shenyang last year and Zhenjiang this year.

Next year, Qin Zhong hopes to be released here to deepen his qualifications, and then return to Jiedu Mansion.

~~~~~~
Changjin is a mountain city.

Originally in the plan, it was an important and unimportant city.

The important thing is that this city is the gateway for the Jinjiang Army to enter Ping'an Road from Hamgyong Road in the future. What is not important is that the current Jinjiang Army mainly focuses on recovering Hamgyong Road.

The Changjin Mansion Envoy was guarded by soldiers of the Jinjiang Army, who protested with a hunger strike.

"The envoy."

Xue Biao came to visit in person and brought food to comfort the other party to eat.

The government envoy Dayi sternly refused, and once again proposed to let the Jin Jiang army leave Changjin City and Hamgyong Road.

"Since it's going to fight against the rebellion, you should go to Ping'an Road instead of Hamgyong Road."

Xue Biao repeated the old tune, using the original reason, perfunctory the other party, and carefully looked at the surrounding scene.

Finally, he looked at the clothes on the government envoy, and smiled slightly.

Uncomfortable being scrutinized, the emissary couldn't help turning his head away, and then became furious.

"Ministry, we have the letter of credence of the lord of North Korea, you should not violate it, if you destroy the traditional friendship between Jinjiang Town and North Korea, I am afraid that the envoy will not be able to afford it."

Xue Biao comforted him a bit, and then left here.

"This person's hunger strike is fake, but self-preservation is real. Don't worry too much."

"Why?"

"Have you ever seen a person who sincerely wishes to die cares about his appearance?"

When the words hit the nail on the head, the rest of the people suddenly realized.

~~~~~~
Hamhung Mansion.

Governor Zhang Mencius, Northern Qing Capital Protector Li Shangji, eunuch of the prison camp, etc., discussed the information provided by Li's family.

"It is false that the Jinjiang army put down the rebellion, but it is true that it occupied Hamgyong."

"What do you guys think?"

……

"The other party has the credentials of His Majesty the Lord, how can we refuse them? If the Li family guesses wrong, how can we report to His Majesty in the future?"

The camp eunuch was dissatisfied.

He is Lin Zhong's godson and an eunuch of the King's faction.

"Then what should we do? Let the other party enter the city? According to the news sent by the Li family, we can arrive outside the city tomorrow."

Li Shangji looked dissatisfied at the eunuch.

"What if you don't let go?"

"Are there soldiers and horses in the city?"

The eunuch's rhetorical question left Li Shangji speechless.

No one expected that the Jin Jiang army would enter Hamgyong Province. In order to guard against the rebels, most of the troops in South Hamgyong Province were transferred to Changjin.

According to the information from the Li family, all the soldiers in Changjin have been captured by the Jinjiang army.

In the dispute between the two, the eunuch of the prison camp had the upper hand. In the end, everyone turned to the governor Zhang Mengzhi.

From the second rank of the feudal officials.

"Let Anbian, Deyuan, Wenchuan, Yongxing, Dingping, and Yuyuan prefectures recruit reinforcements." "Please ask Jingcheng Dufu Jiedushi to lead the army to support Xianxing."

Zhang Mengzhi said wrong slowly, and then looked at Li Shangji.

"It's too late."

"Jin Jiang's army will arrive in Xianxing tomorrow."

Li Shangji said decadently.
