Start by capturing Zhu Chongba alive

Chapter 7 Jiangling Majesty was intercepted and killed
Instructing Li Chenggui to help, the two quickly filled the big hole on the ground.

In the northern part of the Yuan Dynasty, due to the epidemic of plague, corpses were exposed to the wild in many places, even if these corpses were found, it would not be a big deal.

As for Jurchen and Orion dying in the old forest, it is not uncommon.

In this old forest, there is a miasma in summer, which is produced by the decay of trees for thousands of years in northern Liaoning. People will have hallucinations after smelling it. They are all neat and tidy, with a smile on their faces.

There were also hunting wolves and tigers in winter, and then a dozen hunters froze to death in the middle of the night with fires and quilts.

Chen Sijiu rummaged through these people, found some gold and silver, and took out some arrows. Li Chenggui's Koryo servants used standard bows and arrows from the Yuan Dynasty. If they used them, they would reveal their identities. I found arrows made by the Jurchens to use.

There are 32 horses left, and the Koreans ride all good horses.

As for the Jurchen horses, most of them are Bohai horses, which are similar to Mongolian horses, cold-resistant, and have longer endurance.

The yellow pussy horse that Li Chenggui rode was especially good. It was a good horse he bought from Dadu. Running around, grazing beside the official road, occasionally raising his head to see the two people who were still alive.

"What a horse."

Chen Sijiu patted the horse, but shook his head.

"Unfortunately, we can't ride."

He looked at Li Chenggui and said, "I'll give you two sticks of incense time, and you can run as far as you can on your own horse."

Li Chenggui looked at Chen Sijiu in surprise, "You really don't want to kill me, man?"

"kill you?"

"Why should I kill you?"

Li Chenggui said in his heart that you have killed my bodyguards... But he thought about it, his eyes flickered and he gritted his teeth and asked: "Dare to ask the hero's name?"

Chen Sijiu narrowed his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "It's easy to say, I'm going to leave the ancient cliff."

Li Chenggui turned pale with shock, and said in amazement: "You are the face master Bie Guya?"

Chen Sijiu nodded.

Li Chenggui wondered: "But, isn't Bie Guya a monk?"

Chen Sijiu smiled, and said, "You know my real name, so you're not afraid that I'll kill you!?"

However, Li Chenggui cupped his hands. At this time, he no longer had the previous look of being greedy for life and fearing death. Instead, he took a deep breath, his eyes were clear and he said seriously: "You are not that kind of person. With your force, you can kill me like a chicken!" , if you wanted to do it, you would have done it long ago."

"I asked your name to thank you."

"There are a few guards around me who were sent by the Semu Mongols to watch over me. I wanted to get rid of them a long time ago. Today, a hero took action and solved a serious problem for me!"

"Oh?"

Chen Sijiu looked at Li Chenggui differently.

"I admire your shameless appearance."

Li Chenggui said with a wry smile: "Our Li family was originally a dignitary of Silla. In Liao and Jin, there were also two classes of nobles. It has been passed down for more than [-] years. After the Mongols came, they exchanged blood for our Koryo country and took over the power of the king. , are all Mongolian roots, and I, Goryeo, pay tribute to Dayuan every year with beauties and servants. They Mongolians don’t trust the Goryeos. In order to seize power, they promoted a group of new nobles, who seem to be interpreters for the Mongols slaves, cooks for them, and physicians for their sickness."

"This is a great shame and humiliation to my two classes of nobles!"

"I and the orthodox two classes of Goryeo have a long history. Those who have been in the Zhou Dynasty have been a big family for more than a thousand years. The Mongols promoted these commoners and slaves to the two classes, intending to replace us."

Chen Sijiu felt a little interesting.

In a small place like Goryeo, the nobility is indeed easier to stabilize, and there is indeed a millennium inheritance. In the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for the Huangchao Rebellion, which killed the aristocratic families, I am afraid that the same is true in China today. At that time in the Tang Dynasty, The prime minister has been going back and forth among the Pei family, the Cui family, the Dugu family and other aristocratic families, with five surnames and seven wangs, which is terrifying.

As for Koryo, since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties passed down to the present, there have been relatively few war disasters.

Aristocrats from aristocratic families are easier to pass on.

Because they have never experienced the systematic massacre of aristocratic families like the Huangchao Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Sijiu glanced at Li Chenggui, motioning for him to continue talking.

Li Chenggui took another deep breath, and said: "These days, because Dayuan's taxes are difficult to collect, the exploitation of us in Korea has increased. My father is so sympathetic to the people in Shuangcheng, which angered the deputy chief. This hereditary thousand households have been replaced."

He smiled bitterly and said: "The deputy chief was originally a medical craftsman of my Li family. He was promoted to the deputy chief of Shuangcheng because he treated the Mongolians well. He is purely a Mongolian dog's leg."

"I took the opportunity to go hunting. In name, I wanted to celebrate my father's birthday by hunting bears. In fact, my father was worried that he would offend the vice-manager. My Li family would suffer a lot, so I came out to seek help from the Jiangling Maharaja who had gone to Dadu as a hostage."

Chen Sijiu's eyes lit up again.

The contradiction between officials and officials in Dayuan is already like this.

People like Li Chenggui, who are courageous, resourceful, and able to bend and stretch, will be squeezed out by their own medical craftsmen to avoid disaster. This is probably not an example. Although the Mongols are rough, the Semuren and some Han officials around them However, he is extremely shrewd. Over the years, he has been dividing and disintegrating Goryeo, weakening the strength of Goryeo's own two classes.

But all the adjutants under the official are basically Mongols, Semu people, or the new two classes of nobles promoted by the Mongols.

Some of the new two classes of nobles were brothel owners who sent many women to the Mongols to be appreciated, and some were medical craftsmen or businessmen who treated the Mongols.

In the past, the green-capped men of brothels and businessmen had low status, and they were especially excluded and despised in Koryo.

This situation is the same now.

Therefore, these new aristocrats promoted by the Mongols suddenly gained power, and they crowded out and suppressed the old-school Korean aristocrats like Li Chenggui.

"I know that what you said is half true and half false, but you must ask me for something. Tell me, what do you ask for?"

Chen Sijiu said.

Li Chenggui took another deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "The son of Wang Tao, the king of Zhongsu in Gaoli, and Wang Qi, the great king of Jiangling, is not far from here. I took those men and the Jurchen to search for a long time, but I couldn't find it. If you can help me find Lord Jiangling, my Li family will be saved."

Chen Sijiu asked strangely: "Wait a minute, your Li family is not a hereditary thousand households of Dayuan, why can this son of the King of Korea help you?"

Li Chenggui smiled bitterly: "That's because the deputy chief executive of Shuangcheng who is dealing with us in Shuangcheng is a Korean. He is the henchman of the powerful minister Qi Zhe of Korea, and Qi Zhe's family is the lackeys of the Mongols!"

"My Li family, if strictly counted, is also an official of the Mongols, but the Mongols use the Koreans to check and balance us, the officials of the Great Yuan who are close to the Koreans, and let us intrigue and kill each other, so as to prevent us from being friendly with the Koreans..."

He said through gritted teeth.

Chen Sijiu laughed out loud.

Goryeo used to be one of Dayuan's Liaoyang provinces. After decades of blood exchanges, many of Goryeo's upper-class nobles were infiltrated. For example, the previous Goryeo king Zhongsu Wang Wangtao was still a hostage in Dayuan.

The officials on both sides of the border line have me in you, and you in me, and the separation from each other is not obvious.

In order to control Goryeo, Dayuan raised many descendants of the royal family in Dadu, and even if the king was in power, he would deliberately detain him so that the king would not be allowed to take office. During Yingzong's time a few years ago, he almost sent Goryeo to the country. If Yingzong hadn't died early , it succeeds.

Moreover, the queens of the successive kings of Goryeo are all the daughters of the Mongolian Golden Family.

He has also heard about this Koryo power minister, Qi Zhe, who frantically licked the stinky feet of the Mongols, suppressed the local factions in the country, actively betrayed the country, and gave advice to Dayuan. This person is in charge.

After he finished laughing, he asked, "What's the situation with this Jiangling Great King Wang Qi?"

Li Chenggui hurriedly said it.

It turns out that every king of the Goryeo Kingdom needs to be a hostage for a period of time in Dayuan Dadu, and receive Confucian education in Dadu. The father of Jiangling Dajun Wang Qi, Gaoli Zhongsu Wang Tao, once learned from the teacher of Prince Zhenjin. Uyghur in Mongolian language, he also learned calligraphy from Zhao Mengfu, a famous official of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the Four Books and Five Classics from Wu Cheng, a great Confucian of the Han Dynasty.

More than two years ago, the king of Zhongsu in Goryeo, Wang Tao, was old and persecuted by Dayuan and the pro-Yuan faction in the country. He abdicated the throne to his eldest son, the almost Mongolian son Wang Zhen, who is now Goryeo King, King Zhonghui.

This king of Zhonghui, Wang Zhen, is licentious and immoral. He came to Beiping, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, as the cowardly Xue Jie of the great emperor of the Yuan Dynasty when he was very young, that is, the guards. He didn't know anything about Confucianism, and he couldn't even understand Chinese poetry, so King Zhongsu Wang Tao of Goryeo called him a rascal.

However, Wang Zhen is very popular with today's power minister, the great prime minister Yan Tiemu'er, and for this reason he forced Wang Tao to abdicate, so Zhongsu Wang Wang Tao applied to take his youngest son Wang Qi, the great king of Jiangling, as a hostage in Dadu. Cultivate around.

Simply put.

The former king of Goryeo was raped, and the former king was forced to give the throne to his Mongolian eldest son Wang Zhen. Now the king of Goryeo, Wang Zhen, and a group of pro-Mongolian officials are actively promoting Goryeo to change the country.

The old king of Goryeo, Wang Tao, couldn't go back to Goryeo even after he was in Zen. He could only place his hopes on his youngest son, begging him to be a hostage, and prepared to train his youngest son Wang Qi himself.

It is so hoped that the Goryeo Kingdom can be stabilized in the future...

It is no surprise that Qi Zhe belongs to the group of Yan Timur and Wang Zhen.

The area where Li Chenggui's family is located is on the edge of Goryeo, which was deeply infected by Goryeo. The Mongols also deliberately used Goryeo people to serve as adjutants in Shuangcheng, so as to drive a wedge between Li Chenggui's family and the Goryeo people, and let them bite dogs.

To a certain extent, power tactics are nothing more than checks and balances.

Chen Sijiu rolled his eyes.

He snorted coldly and said, "You probably haven't finished talking yet. This Jiangling Maharaja has nothing else to do except go to Dadu as a hostage? According to you, since you don't like the Mongols, this Jiangling Maharaja can help you... ..."

"That shows that Jiangling Maharaja and the pro-Yuan Goryeo power minister Qi Zhe are not all the same. According to the pissing nature of you Korean people, can the Koryo king Wang Zhen and Qi Zhe sit idly by? If I remember correctly, Jiangling Maharaja is Gao Lizhong. The previous title of King Su, since he awarded the title of Wang Qi, it means that he is preparing to train Wang Qi to be the next King of Korea."

"If the current king of Korea, Wang Zhen, is not a fool, he should do something to his younger brother."

"For Qi Zhe and your vice-president of Shuangcheng, who are pro-Yuan and pro-Mongolian officials, if Wang Zhen dies and Wang Qi becomes the king of Korea, will they still have a way out?"

Li Chenggui was shocked.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Swallowing his saliva, Li Chenggui pretended to be calm, and said, "Hero, you are truly a god. Well, in fact, Lord Jiangling is being chased and killed. I came here to protect him!"

"Who are the people chasing and killing him?"

"Most of them are Koreans, and there are also some rogues from the Japanese kingdom that Qi Zhe bribed. They are very skilled in martial arts and are very difficult to deal with..."

"Then these guards?"

"There are indeed Mongols monitoring me, and most of them are good men I called to help Maharaja Jiangling."

Chen Sijiu grinned.

"You have a shameless look, and I have a bit of demeanor!"

I don't like killing people, but I like tripping up Daewon.

Neither the Jiangling Maharaja of Goryeo nor Li Chenggui is a good person, but if this Jiangling Maharaja goes to Dadu, he will undoubtedly plant a bomb in Goryeo. Whenever it explodes, it will cause turmoil in Goryeo.

No matter where the chaos was first, the Mongols would divide their troops to suppress the rebellion.

Chen Sijiu squinted his eyes after laughing, and was about to speak, when suddenly, a few arrows shot through the air.

"careful!"

Li Chenggui yelled and rolled on the spot, hiding behind a tree, while Chen Sijiu had already hidden, the two of them watched intently, a group of horse bandits, five or sixty people, were chasing a carriage .

Four or five riders fell behind the carriage, holding up their shields, covering the carriage and fleeing.

But they were all in a mess, and there were bloodstains on their bodies.

Look at the distance, it's only a hundred steps away from here.

"This is an armor-piercing arrow!"

Chen Sijiu said solemnly.

ps: Cold knowledge, Emperor Yuan Shun’s carpenter was very good, and he liked to reward the ministers with the furniture he made.
