The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 755 North Korea's Philosophy of Life (for Subscription)
At present, the situation in North Korea can be described as chaotic!
The Qing army did not know what happened suddenly, and began to send troops to the entire North Korea with Seoul as the center.

Groups of Qing troops began to plunder and massacre in North Korea.

The primary targets of the Qing army's looting were the fortresses of the aristocrats in North Korea!
Under the offensive of the Qing army, the well-defended Wubao was pulled out one after another, and the owner of the Wubao became the ghost of the Qing army.

The property accumulated by these worldly figures for thousands of years became the spoils of war for the Qing army.

As time went by, the Qing army's attitude of killing all the powerful people in the world became more and more obvious.

Although the Fengyang Zhao family has not been affected by the Qing army's soldiers for the time being, they also deeply felt the crisis of life and death.

Zhao Yuan, the Patriarch of the Zhao Clan in Fengyang, urgently summoned the elders in the family to discuss how they should deal with the Qing army's butcher knife.

Don't look at their Fengyang Zhao family having such a Wubao as a backing, but if the Qing army really came to attack with all their strength, it would be impossible for the Fengyang Zhao family's Wubao to withstand it.

The Wubao of the Zhao family in Fengyang is not in a deep mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its geographical location is far from dangerous.

Instead, it is located in a place with convenient transportation, which is convenient for the army to attack.

Although the defense of the Wubao of the Zhao family in Fengyang is comparable to that of Pyongyang and Seoul, didn't Pyongyang and Seoul also fail to resist the attack of the Qing army?

Facing Zhao Yuan's inquiry, a clan elder of the Zhao family in Fengyang could not help but speak.

"Patriarch, what is the purpose of this slave to massacre our family members in North Korea?"

"Understanding this is the most important thing!"

"If we can know what Jiannu wants, and do our best to satisfy him, in exchange for peace!"

When it comes to military force, let alone a Fengyang Zhao family, even if the whole of Korea is united, it will not be the opponent of the Qing army.

Since you can't beat it, then you can only kneel!

This is the philosophy of life of the Koreans since ancient times.

In history, North Korea has avoided the disaster of national subjugation several times by relying on its skill of kneeling.

At that time, the Mongols and the Yuan Dynasty were powerful and wanted to destroy Goryeo. It was the King of Goryeo who knelt down well and licked Kublai Khan comfortably, so that the Goryeo Kingdom avoided the disaster of subjugation.

During the Japanese Invasion in Imchen, Lee's North Korea also relied on kneeling well, which made Wanli send troops to aid the North.

Later, when the Manchu Qing conquered North Korea, North Korea also relied on kneeling and licking in time, only to become a vassal of the Manchu Qing, rather than being completely destroyed by the Manchu Qing.

Now, the Manchu and Qing dynasties are aggressively trying to kill all the powerful people in North Korea!

The Fengyang Zhao family also learned the experience and lessons of their predecessors, and prepared to kneel down in advance, begging to be let go.

Hearing this, Zhao Yuan frowned and said.

"The reason why slaves were massacred in North Korea is probably for money and food!"

"According to information, every time the Qing army breaks through a city, it kills all the rich and wealthy merchants in the city, and plunders all their wealth!"

Now the news that North Korea is attached to Ming Dynasty has not been transmitted from Nanjing City to North Korea.

Therefore, these forces in North Korea have never imagined that the current Manchu Qing Dynasty is just doing dirty work for Ming Dynasty.

They can only assume that the reason why the Manchu Qing massacred the Korean world's powerful people can only imagine money and food.

A gray-haired old man from the Zhao family stood up and said.

"If Jiannu wants money, give it to him!"

"The Zhao family has accumulated thousands of years of family wealth, and the most important thing is money and food."

"As long as you can buy peace, it doesn't matter if you give some to Jiannu."

Zhao Yuan nodded his approval.

"That's a good statement, but I'm afraid Jiannu is too greedy and won't be satisfied!"

If you can buy a peace with a sum of money and food, Zhao Yuan is willing to do it.

But he was afraid that Jiannu would be greedy and keep asking for money and food.

To drain their Fengyang Zhao family!
Another old man on the side spoke.

"Why don't you send someone to the rest of the houses, let's discuss a countermeasure together?"

"If we advance and retreat together in North Korea, it must be possible to ask Jiannu to have more scruples when doing things, right?"

However, not everyone is willing to surrender to Man Qing and spend money on safe ones.

Zhao Yuan's younger brother Zhao Huai stood up and said.

"Brother, we can't put the safety of the whole family above Jiannu's reputation!"

"What if after Jiannu collects the money, he turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone, and continues to attack my Fengyang Zhao family?"

"If you have the money to buy peace for Jiannu, why not reward my slaves and guards of the Zhao family."

"In this way, we might be able to defend Fengyang City!"

After Zhao Yuan heard his brother's words, the expression on his face seemed to be very obvious.

However, as soon as Zhao Huai's voice fell, the old man who had just stood up to speak began to speak.

"Zhao Huai, this is complete nonsense!"

"If there are less than [-] slaves, they are invincible."

"Isn't the successive defeats of our North Korean army a lesson for us?"

"My Korean culture is weak, how can I be the opponent of the fierce Jiannu?"

"If the Fengyang Zhao clan made a wrong decision because of my impulsiveness, and chose to resist to the end, and angered Jiannu, what should we do if they slaughtered our Fengyang Zhao clan?"

"If the inheritance of my Fengyang Zhao family is cut off, can you be worthy of your ancestors?"

North Korea is deeply influenced by Chinese culture. In its national culture, the worship of ancestors and the emphasis on the inheritance of the family are also engraved in the bones.

Zhao Huai heard the words, but he didn't catch a cold, and said with a very disdainful face.

"But who can guarantee that Jiannu will keep his word?"

"..."

Just as they were arguing, a servant ran in from far away.

The famous scholar Ding rushed into the meeting hall, knelt on the ground with a plop, raised a bloody letter in his hand above his head, and spoke.

"Patriarch, all clan elders, a letter from the Anton Jin family!"

Zhao Yuan's complexion changed slightly when he heard this, and he strode up to the famous family Ding.

The letter came out of his hand, but when Zhao Yuan saw the blood on the envelope, he seemed to realize something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

With slightly trembling hands, he tore open the wax seal on the envelope, pulled out the letter paper, and read it.

Gradually, Zhao Yuan's originally rosy complexion turned pale, and gradually became like a layer of white powder.

This letter is not a request for help!

Strictly speaking, it is more like a suicide note.

In the letter, the patriarch of the Anton Jin family was complaining to Zhao Yuan about the lack of credibility and ruthlessness of the Qing army.

In the letter, Anton Kim tried to buy peace from Jiannu!

Before receiving the money, the Qing army fully agreed, but after receiving the money, they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone, and then raided and breached the Wubao of the Anton Jin family. Clearly.

This letter was written by the patriarch of the Anton Jin family after the Anton Jin family's Wubao city was broken.

Sent to Fengyang by a loyal servant!

If nothing unexpected happened, by the time this letter arrived in Fengyang, the Anton Jin family should have had few living people left!

Zhao Yuan's face gradually turned pale. He gritted his teeth and handed the letter in his hand to the clan elders in the meeting hall.

The blood-stained letter paper was circulated continuously, and the entire Fengyang Zhao Clan's meeting hall quickly became quiet.

Only the sound of gasping for air-conditioning continued to ring out!

The complexions of the high-level elders of the Zhao Clan in Fengyang changed drastically.

Zhao Yuan took a deep breath and said with an ugly expression.

"Judging from the experience of Anton Kim, I don't have to think about spending money to buy peace anymore!"

"Get rid of all fluke mentality, and prepare to defend Fengyang!"

Zhao Huai on the side couldn't help standing up and said.

"Brother, I am willing to take on this important task, to be responsible for training Jiading Township and guarding my Wubao of the Zhao family."

Zhao Yuan nodded in agreement, and spoke.

"Okay, I will leave this matter to you!"

"All of my Zhao family's money, rations, armor, and various resources, you can use them at will!"

"As long as we can defend Fengyang and protect Fengyang from the harm of swords and soldiers, I, the Zhao family of Fengyang, have nothing to be reluctant about."

Zhao Huai clasped his fists and said.

"Brother, don't worry, if Fengyang City is destroyed, I will be the first to die!"

"Never let brother down!"

At this moment, an old man on the side spoke.

"Patriarch, although Fengyang City is well-defended, it is at risk of being breached!"

"Perhaps we should have made preparations earlier and sent some of our clansmen away from Fengyang to the countryside or deep in the mountains to avoid military disasters."

Small chaos living in the city, big chaos living in the countryside, that's what I said.

The goal of Fengyang City is too big, and Jiannu will definitely not let it go.

However, if the Fengyang Zhao family sent a small number of people to leave Fengyang to seek refuge in the countryside or deep in the mountains, the Qing army would not have the energy to go to the mountains to search the mountains.

In this way, even if Fengyang City is destroyed, some more blood can be preserved for the Fengyang Zhao Clan!
In order to prevent all the clansmen from living together in Fengyang City and being taken over by Jiannu.

When everyone in the meeting hall heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yuan also spoke.

"Extremely!"

"Perhaps not only that, we can also send a group of clansmen north to seek refuge in Daming!"

"The reason why Jiannu came to North Korea is because he was beaten by Shangguo and can't stand in Liaodong!"

"I and other people entered the territory of Ming Dynasty, and I didn't believe that Jiannu dared to go after them..."

"..."

……

Just as the Zhao family in Fengyang was arranging the retreat of the clansmen, the soldiers and horses of the Qing army had already killed outside the city of Fengyang.

These troops who were sent out to plunder and slaughter the world's nobles were not the elite of the Qing army.

At most one-tenth of them are the Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they are their own people.

The rest of the soldiers and horses are all the Korean soldiers recruited by the Qing Dynasty, as well as the newly recruited Korean civilian husbands and the like.

Almost all mobs!

However, it doesn't matter!
My Qing army plundered the worldly families in North Korea, in addition to looting money and food, and completing the tasks of the Ming Dynasty, it was also for training soldiers.

No matter what kind of mob, they were driven to attack a few strong cities, fought a few tough battles, and after seeing blood and killing people, they became elite soldiers.

Now that the Manchu Qing was facing military pressure from Ming Dynasty at any time, there was no time for them to slowly train their troops.

In order to allow the army to have a certain combat effectiveness in a short period of time, Man Qing could only use this method of raising Gu to train troops.

Those who die will die, and those who survive are elite soldiers!

During the reign of Chongzhen, thieves ravaged the world, and they used such tactics.

In the end, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others trained an elite soldier.

Nalan Mingzhu was riding on horseback, looking at the Fengyang City faintly visible in the distance, her eyes were full of coldness.

Beside him, his son Nalan Xingde was also wearing a padded armor, closely following his ama, accepting his ama's orders, and learning about battle formation.

The current Manchu Qing Dynasty is different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history!
Losing the Central Plains and Liaodong, they were like bereaved dogs, panicking all day long. In order to survive, all the resources of the Qing Dynasty were tilted towards the military.

The current Manchu Qing Dynasty cannot tolerate weak literati. Nalan Xingde, a famous poet in history, now has to raise his sword and learn how to fight.

Nalan Mingzhu also chose to keep her son by her side to raise him.

"Rong Ruo, do you know what are the taboos for marching and camping?"

As Nalan Mingzhu rode forward, she did not forget to test her son's knowledge.

Nalan Xingde, the character is Rongruo, the elders call the juniors, generally they are called characters.

The young Nalan Xingde heard his father's question, after pondering for a while, he spoke.

"Report to Ama!"

"There is a saying in the art of war, the marcher: the mountain is close to the valley, and the place of life is high, the battle is high and there is no climb, the army of the mountain is also here. The water must be far away; the guest will come without the water..."

"It means that all troops marching and fighting and observing and judging the enemy's situation should approach valleys with water and grass when passing through mountains; when stationing, they should choose "natural places" and stay high and sunny; if the enemy occupies high ground, they should not attack from their backs. These are in The principle of handling mountain marches. When crossing rivers, stay away from the current..."

Nalan Xingde recited a section of Sun Tzu's Art of War for his father, and also included some of his own understanding and explanation.

It can be seen that its foundation is solid!
However, no matter how solid the foundation is, whether it can be used well on the battlefield is another matter.

If you only know how to read books, but don't know how to apply them, you will be another Zhao Kuo who is talking on paper!

Seeing that her son's foundation is so solid, Nalan Mingzhu said with a smile.

"Not bad!"

"The foundation is very solid!"

"How about Rong Ruoyi commanding the attack on Fengyang?"

Nalan Mingzhu is going to let her son who has a good grasp of the basics use the battle of Fengyang to practice his skills.

The battle of Fengyang, to put it bluntly, meant that the Qing army wanted to plunder the place, and the local forces resisted.

There is no regular army at all, Nalan Mingzhu is really not afraid that the Qing army will lose!
No matter how bad Nalan Xingde's command is, it's just a matter of killing more people. It's just a matter of military training, and Fengyang City can be eaten down.

Anyway, it was only some North Koreans who died, Nalan Mingzhu really didn't care.

In Nalan Mingzhu's eyes, as long as his son can be trained into a generation of famous generals, no matter how many North Koreans die, it is worthwhile.

When Nalan Xingde heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, and he spoke.

"Ama, my son has never had any experience in commanding troops!"

"Now commanding the army rashly, I'm afraid something will happen."

"If my son's command is wrong and the army suffers heavy losses, it will definitely not be a good thing for my Qing Dynasty!"
