Chapter 369
"Is he Xu Aju?"

"Why did the second uncle marry her?"

"true or false?"

The two brothers, Li Da and Li, were discussing in low voices.

in front of.

Xu Aju, who was riding on a horse, rode forward unhurriedly.

Li Da and Li Er have no horses, so they can only walk.

Of course they knew Xu Aju, the daughter of their former tenant Xu Fugui.

A little older than them, they are all 25-year-old girls.

The family is poor, and the younger brother has some mental problems, so he can't get married at all-it's not that no one wants it. There are so many bachelors in rural Sichuan, and the bottom-level people will not dislike things like looks, anyway, as long as they can have babies.

Because Xu Aju is an important labor force of Xu Fugui's family, if she leaves, the burden of the family will be on her old father, and the family may starve to death.

Who would have thought that she would turn out like this now, and even say she was their aunt?

true or false?

The Li brothers were very suspicious.

If it weren't for the two bleeding human heads hanging on the horse.

The two brothers will definitely not be obedient.

But now they don't dare to talk loudly with Xu Aju, because even if the other party is not their aunt, just a ruthless person who walks around with a human head openly is not something they can afford to offend.

And Xu Aju also told them that Li Zhongyi is now an official in Tieshan Village, and if they want to take refuge in Li Zhongyi, they have to go back to Tieshan Village with her.

"Second Aunt Xu, who does your head belong to?"

When Li Dao saw Xu Aju's eyes, he was so frightened that he hurriedly changed his words.

"I don't know, I just know it's a white man."

"White people?"

"There are white adventurers hired by Britain and Spain to come to Jinshan Mansion to cause damage. The Governor's Mansion has a reward order, and a reward of 100 yuan is offered for a white man's head."

"100 yuan?"

The brothers looked at each other.

"I heard that the south is the city of the Spaniards. If someone goes to the south to kill and set fire, can Jinshan Mansion afford the money?"

Xu Aju looked at the two brothers with idiot eyes.

"There are indeed many Spaniards in New Spain, but they have an army of [-] in Mexico City. If you have the ability to go there to kill people, you can take the position of Governor of Jinshan."

Just now.

On both sides of the road, a group of soldiers in red uniforms rode past.

"Want to fight?"

Li Er asked.

"Winter is coming soon, before this winter comes, we must catch all the white man in the forest!"

Xu Aju said calmly.

October of the 7th year of the Ming Dynasty.

In the northern capital city, the maple leaves of Fragrant Hills are all over the sky.

The arrival of late autumn has lowered the temperature throughout the north.

What's more, the sound of the train came, and a train went all the way north, heading for the northern capital.

This is the special train of Ming Emperor Zhu Daohua.

He planned to spend this winter in the northern capital.

Because something happened in North Korea and Liaodong.

In Liaodong Province, the remnants of the Eight Banners attacked the county town.

And North Korea.

Something also happened.

The puppet king of Joseon, Lee Eung, imprisoned Chung Min-seo, the leader of the Donghak Party.

North Korea's two wealthy families cling to Li Ying's side and form a new North Korean ruling group.

The entire North Korea formed a situation of Lee's dictatorship.

"Has Zheng Minshi been killed?"

Zhu Daohua asked alone.

An official of Jin Yiwei in charge of North Korean intelligence replied: "There is no news about this. Judging from the latest intelligence, he was just imprisoned."

"This Li Ying really wants to be the king of Joseon for a long time."

"It's still because of the land policy issue. The Donghak Party insists on dividing the land equally, but North Korea's Yangban wealthy households firmly oppose it."

"This Zheng Minshi is really persistent."

Emperor Zhu did not continue to ask, but waved his hand to signal the official to leave.

He knew Zheng Minshi.

When the Ming army set foot in Liaodong, this Zheng Minshi was the special envoy of North Korea.

And this guy's rebellion was not for the purpose of being a king or emperor, but for the abolition of the privileges of the two classes and the equal division of North Korea's land. He can be regarded as a benevolent man in North Korea.

"Your Majesty, maybe you can try to recruit Zheng Minshi?"

Peng Jun at the side suggested.

"Surrender? Will this person surrender?"

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether you can or can't. The key is that this person's views and the Emperor's can't agree with each other. If His Majesty announces the abolition of the privileges of the two classes, and implements the equal and peaceful division of the court land among the classes, he releases rumors that Zheng Min Shi is the emperor's man... Then Li Ying will probably kill him! And once Zheng Minshi dies, the alliance between the Donghak Party and the puppet King of Joseon will collapse, and North Korea will be easily pacified."

"Can Li Ying believe it?"

"It doesn't matter if he believes it, but the Li family of Jeonju will definitely not allow Zheng Minshi to survive."

"That's true. Isn't it their own land that Zheng Minshi wants to divide. Taking money from people is like killing parents."

Following Emperor Zhu's words, the train gradually stopped at the station.

All the officials staying in Beidu greeted them outside the station.

The train door opened, and a cold wind that was different from Jiangnan hit.

Emperor Zhu could not help but take a deep breath.

The cold air entered the body, and the whole person became more energetic immediately.

Winter in the north is hard, but this winter, North Korea and Liaodong are destined to have some troubles.

Squeak.

A harsh voice sounded.

Inside Pyongyang.

The door of a heavily guarded prison was gently opened.

At this time, sunlight came in from the door of the cell that was not seeing the sun, which brought a bit of fresh air into the cell that was full of mildew.

A person curled up in the cell was suddenly startled. He squinted his eyes and shielded the light with one hand, while trying his best to look towards the door, trying to see clearly who came in.

The person wearing the prison uniform was none other than Chung Min-soo, the leader of the Joseon Donghak Party.

His face was pale at this time, obviously the treatment in the cell was not very good.

After all, this Mr. Zheng has really offended too many people - they are all registered in the second class.

Those two classes of wealthy families hate him to death.

Now that he is in trouble, naturally it is impossible to get any good treatment.

And the person who appeared at the door was none other than his ally, Li Ying, the king of the Li Dynasty. Today, this king is wearing a dragon robe with a golden crown, and he is also wearing leather armor outside the dragon robe, looking very energetic.

Several North Korean soldiers wearing small battle hats, wearing fast clothes, and carrying muskets on their shoulders followed closely behind him.

These soldiers belonged to a semi-new army called "Biechao Army", which was named after the "Sanbiechao Army" of the Chung regime in North Korea hundreds of years ago.

The Sanbiecha Army is an elite army in Korean history. It once stubbornly insisted on the policy of fighting against Mongolia, and was finally wiped out by the Mongols.

Now that Li uses the name of "Don't copy" to name his pro-army, he probably thought of his own fate of being wiped out by Ming Dynasty in the end, right?
Zheng Minshi saw that it was Li Ying who came, so he continued to lie down and didn't plan to get up to salute or anything. As the leader of the Donghak Party, in fact, if he wants to be king, he can also be a North Korean for a few months. King, but Zheng Minshi did not do this, or even if he did, it would not last long. Neither the Joseon Yangban nor Da Ming would recognize him as the king of Joseon.

Li Ying said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, I'm so excited! Ming invaders are coming, North Korea is about to perish, three thousand miles of rivers and mountains will soon be bloody, and you can lie on your stomach with your stomach open, this king admires you!"

Zheng Minshi snorted: "Northern Korea has always regarded Daming as its father. If you call Daming a Ming bandit, isn't it treasonous?"

"If Da Ming is willing to recognize my son, why don't I want to serve Da Ming's son as his father!" Li Ying's face darkened.

Now the situation is clear that Emperor Daming wants his son to be the king of Joseon.

In this case, the conflict between him and Daming would be almost impossible to resolve - what's more, the son of Daming actually wants to divide land in North Korea!
Now the two classes of households in North Korea are united by Li Ying's side, and now Li Ying is the most powerful king in North Korea for hundreds of years.

But so what?

Wait until the Ming army arrives.

Everything will be wiped out.

"Do you think that if you get rid of me, the two rich families in North Korea will support you as the king again? Do you think that with their support, you will be able to defend North Korea's tiny land?"

Li Ying looked at him.

Just smiled: "Mr. Zheng, you don't know what this king is thinking? This king has always hated those two classes of wealthy families the most. But it is true that the land is divided equally... and Emperor Zhu's thoughts are the same as yours, and he wants to divide the land evenly." North Korean land!"

Zheng Min was taken aback for a moment: "How could such a thing happen? Could it be a rumor?"

Li Ying smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zheng, there is another piece of news that Emperor Zhu intends to let his fourteenth son Zhu Yijian inherit the throne of Joseon King. And Zhu Yijian's mother is Li Zhen's daughter, that is, Zhu Yijian is actually Li Zhen's grandson. , if he becomes the king of Joseon, maybe Li Yan will be even more happy!"

Zheng Min was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

He couldn't help laughing.

Li Ying's face was gloomy.

"Mr. Zheng, what is the relationship between you and Da Ming Zi? Could it be that your Dongxue Party was really supported by Da Ming Zi?!"

The recent rumors circulating in Pyongyang made Li Ying completely unable to sit still.

Is Zheng Minshi a man of the Son of Heaven?

This made Li Ying how to accept it.

Zheng Minshi did not answer.

He just laughed and said: "North Korea, the country will not be subjugated! North Korea will not be a kingdom, it just changed to a king! Ha! Hahahaha! North Korea's 2000 million people are saved! They are saved! Hahahaha!!"

Smile and laugh.

Zheng Minshi showed a look of regret on his face: "Your Majesty, if you had such an idea, why should I form a Dongxue Party!"

"What a pity! What a pity!"

"Aren't you from Da Mingzi?" Li Ying stared at Zheng Minshi and asked.

Zheng Minshi ignored his question, but turned his head and said
"Your Li Dynasty was originally the king of the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea has always regarded itself as the country of China. Now that Daming replaces the king of the Li Dynasty with Prince Zhu, it seems to have a righteous name. Li Ying, your Li Dynasty has no hope at all. So you went to the doctor in a sudden illness, and you wanted to turn around and win over two groups of wealthy families. Let them remember your kindness and continue to trouble the Zhu family in North Korea, am I right?"

Li Ying nodded silently. Although he entered Pyongyang these days, he also regained the throne.

But he didn't believe that he could fight against Da Ming for a long time.

So he has been planning for his retreat, on the one hand, to search for a fortune so that he can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth in the days of exile.

On the one hand, it is arranging the basic market to compete with Daming in the future.

After all, North Korea has a population of 2000 million. If it can be united, it will be a huge force.

Although just listening to it, you know there is no hope.

But if there is hope, always try.

Through these two years of contact with Westerners, he also has a little understanding of his value as a king of subjugation - he is a card to cause trouble for the Ming Empire!
Even Daming's allies, as long as they are not particularly close, will be happy to support themselves.

Not to mention, the current situation in the world is a confrontation between East and West.

The Ming Dynasty led a group of countries in the East to compete with the white countries in the West for territory.

Russia, Britain, Spain, and even France, which seems to have a good relationship with Ming Dynasty.

They are definitely willing to give themselves some support, and it doesn't take much effort to support a North Korean government-in-exile.

Of course, the premise is that you must have a basic disk.

There must be supporters in North Korea who can threaten the stability of North Korea.

And he can rely on the basic disk.

It depends on what kind of people Zhu Daohua relies on.

North Korea wants to confront Daming, it is really a bit of a mantis.

What's more, the Li Dynasty has regarded itself as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and even used Chongzhen as the reign title.

In addition, under the propaganda of Korean Confucian scholars, the people of North Korea also regarded themselves as the people of China, but they regarded China as barbarians after the Manchu Qing ruled China.

But now that the Ming Dynasty has recovered, although it looks more like a barbarian than the Manchu Qing, it does have righteousness.

Those forces that could take refuge in Zhu Daohua's side would never go with him.

That's why Li Ying cooperated with Zheng Minshi and stood on the opposite side of the two classes of wealthy families, hoping to win the favor of the lower class of the two classes who were not valued by Zhu Daohua and the ordinary Shuli in North Korea.

But he didn't expect that now Zhu Daohua had also abandoned the two classes of wealthy families, and even chanted a slogan that was almost the same as that of the Dongxue Party - all classes should divide the land equally and peacefully, and it was very likely to be implemented!
In this way, the lower class of the two classes and the ordinary Shuli must support the old Zhu family, after all, the old Zhu family gave them real benefits.

And Li Ying can only go back and try to curry favor with the two classes of wealthy families.

He is now falling out with Zheng Minshi and the Donghak Party, mainly because of this reason.

"Stop it, you can't beat Da Mingzi, his methods are too clever. North Korea can't fight against Da Ming, let alone a group of moths who support you now, even if the 2000 million people in North Korea support you So what? North Korea is right next to Ming Dynasty. It has been like this for 100 years, 500 years, and 1000 years. There is no need to worry about being rich and honorable."

Zheng Min began to say.

"Being a rich man? It's a good future, but it's not what I want!" Li Ying said with a cold face, "Li Chaojiangshan, you can't die in my hands! As long as I have a breath, I will oppose it Zhu's Korea, if I die, my descendants will fight to restore the Li Dynasty!"

Zheng Minshi sighed: "So, you have to use my head to curry favor with the two classes of moths."

Li Ying was silent for a moment, then turned around.

His voice came from outside the door.

"Good wine and good meat, send your husband on his way!"
