Nanming Yiming

Chapter 172
The North Korean Navy quickly weakened after Yi Sun-shin's death, and there were no large warships.Therefore, this time the Ming army only sent 3 improved No. 1 Fuchuan and several No. 1 Fuchuan as capital ships, and did not use those giant ships at all.

But even so, the tonnage of the Ming army was much larger than that of the North Korean warships. The Ming army navy easily sank many North Korean warships in the Jeju Strait.When the Korean navy saw how fierce the enemy warships were, they immediately dispersed. They had to admit that the Korean army was indeed talented in escaping. Although the Ming army ships were huge and fast, they still couldn't catch up with them.

However, their main task this time is not to destroy the North Korean navy, but to plunder Jeolla-do well.

Jeju Island is really too poor, and Tu Guobao and the others have nothing to do with their abilities, so they can only practice with North Korea's Jeolla Province.

Naju Fortress is a large city in the south of Jeolla-do, and it is also the closest city to Jeju Island.

Tu Guobao looked at the distant Naju City and couldn't help shaking his head. The so-called big city in the Tamna population is not as good as a small county town in the two prefectures of Su and Song.

This landing was the first large-scale counterattack against North Korea in Tamna's centuries-old history, so 1000 Tamna people took the initiative to participate in this attack.

Not all of them are young and strong men, there are many elderly men and even women. Considering the language problem, Tu Guobao still brought these people with him, and it would be better to have more guides.

The original local national treasure was planning to set up a siege to fight for aid, but the news came from the Tamna people that the nearby Gwangju city closed its gates after learning that Naju City was surrounded, and there was no intention of reinforcements at all.

So the Ming army began to attack the city. When the tiger crouching gun fired, the Korean army on the city panicked; the Korean defenders saw the "Tamna army" all over the mountains and plains. How could they have the courage to resist?
The North Korean sergeant on the city raised his saber high and ordered the soldiers on the city to shoot arrows.The loose bows and arrows of the Koreans did not cause many casualties.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The musketeers under the city directly took advantage of the range to attack the city. After only one round of shooting, the North Korean army began to flee.

Huang Dabiao said: "This Lumi gun is really sharp, but it's a pity that Duke Yue only gave us 500 rods."

Tu Guobao said: "These are the earliest Lumi guns. In fact, they are equipment eliminated by other battalions, but these North Korean sticks are indeed enough!"

Huang Dabiao asked: "The general has a question. Although these North Koreans are outdated in equipment, they don't just use wooden sticks as weapons. Why do they call them 'sticks'?"

Li Qianhu on the side said with a smile: "The name 'Bangzi' was first passed on by the Duke of Yue, and then the intelligence department called the Koreans 'Bangzi'."

"It is said that these North Koreans often build latrines above the troughs of the pigsty to feed the pigs with excrement. They are afraid that their lifeblood will be eaten by the pigs, so they must hold a stick in their hands when going to the toilet. , used to drive away pigs."

After Li Qianhu finished speaking, the two of them burst into laughter and said, "In this way, the title 'Bangzi' is really appropriate."

While talking and laughing, the Ming army had already invaded Luozhou City.

Many of the Ming soldiers under Tu Guobao were originally water bandits, and they were good at plundering. With the help of Tamra people leading the way, all the property in Luozhou City was quickly looted.

Facing the mountain of belongings, Tu Guobao finally smiled.

Said: "We need a lot of labor, the elderly and children will be left behind, and all young men and women will be escorted to Jeju Island."

Huang Dabiao said: "These sticks are really not frightening. We only killed a few gentry in the city, and the others were frightened and gave up their belongings. It was turned upside down, and even the big gold teeth inlaid in the mouth were not spared."

"However, North Korea is really poor, and Luozhou can be regarded as a big city. We scraped a layer of land here, and found a total of ten thousand taels of silver, but we found a lot of food, cloth and other materials."

Li Qianhu said: "Tu Zongbing, we still have a task to ask the law enforcement team to restrain the brothers! You can loot, try not to burn and kill; and you are not allowed to rape women in the street. Screen these women and then select them. Some of them were made into military prostitutes."

Tu Guobao thought that military prostitutes could do this trick, but these big soldiers had no place to spend the money they got, and in the end they had to spend it on military prostitutes.

So he said: "Just do as Li Qianhu wants, everyone, don't forget your identity as an officer of the Ming Dynasty, and anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

These "Tamra Army", like locusts crossing the border, crazily swept across Jeolla Province.

The 8000 rebel army led by Jinlian had just arrived in Jeonju, the capital of Jeolla Province, when they were surrounded by the Ming army.

When the news came, North Korea was in an uproar!
Kim Zidian, the leader of North Korea, originally wanted his son to get a gilded military service, but he didn't expect the Tamna people to be so fierce that they broke through Naju and Gwangju in just half a day.

Now that his son is trapped in Quanzhou, he can't just leave him alone.

The reason why he can cover the sky with one hand, besides Anton Jin's power in the court, is also very important because he controls the army near the royal city.

The defenders of Gyeonggi-do and the forbidden army of Wangcheng are all under his control.

Now that the 8000 men and horses in Gyeonggi Province have been taken away by his son, he absolutely dare not move the forbidden army in the royal city.

So Jin Zizhi said: "The Tamna people are coming fiercely, and I, North Korea, should raise the whole country to fight against them! The old minister suggested that the elite frontier troops stationed in Pyongyang, Xijing, should be transferred to Quanzhou to suppress the rebellion."

At this time, Li Zhen regained his spirits, because Liu Chengmin, the chief of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion stationed in Pyongyang, was his man, and being able to transfer his own people to the capital at this time would help him control the situation.

As the king of North Korea, he is very afraid of Jin Zidian, and there is actually a reason.

Jin Zidian holds his handle in his hand, and it is with this handle that Jin Zidian can firmly control the political situation in North Korea.

When Huang Taiji personally conquered North Korea, Li Jing was forced to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to him, and made North Korea sever its vassal relationship with Daming. Lin Dajun was sent to Shenyang as a hostage.

Eight years later, Dorgon sent the two back to North Korea.

Once, the envoys of the Qing Dynasty made many harsh demands on North Korea, asking North Korea to pay people and money. At this time, North Korea happened to encounter a natural disaster, and the country was very difficult.

Li Yu promised to accept all the conditions of the Manchu Qing. At this time, Prince Zhao Xian stepped forward and angrily reprimanded the envoy of the Qing Dynasty;

After this incident, Prince Sohyun's prestige in North Korea rose rapidly, clearly surpassing his father's.Whether it is the Korean people or the court, people think that the son should inherit the Datong as soon as possible; there is even news that when the son was a hostage in Shenyang, he had a good relationship with Dorgon, and the Manchu Qing intends to replace the king of Korea.

It was precisely because the Qing Dynasty's policy towards North Korea became a little more relaxed, and the son's words revealed some thoughts that North Korea should be close to the Qing Dynasty.This is even more of a taboo against Li Zhen. Although he is obedient to Da Qing on the surface, deep down he still has a heart for Da Ming.

All this makes Li Zhen restless. As the supreme king of North Korea, he cannot accept that his rights are challenged by anyone, even his own son.

All of this was seen by Jin Zidian, he knew that at this time Li Yan had already murdered the son, so he bought the medical officer next to the king in advance.

Sure enough, as he had guessed, Li Jing asked the medical officer Li Xinyi to poison the prince, and directly poisoned the prince Zhaoxian to death.

The sudden death of Prince Zhaoxian shocked the whole country, and the whole court demanded to find out the cause of his death.The ministers who supported Prince Sohyun suggested that Li Bai, the eldest son of Prince Sohyun, be conferred the title of grandson, but Li Ji chose Fenglin Dajun as his son.Not only did Prince Sohyun's concubine die, but his three sons were also exiled to Jeju Island.

After doing all this, Li Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, his throne is secure.But at this time the medical officer Li Xinyi disappeared, no matter how many people he sent, they couldn't find the whereabouts of this medical officer.

Not long after, Jin Zidian found Li Yu, claiming that he had found Li Xinyi.

Li Jing knew that Jin Zidian had his handle on him. If the news of him poisoning Prince Zhaoxian got out, then he, the great king, would definitely be abandoned by his own people.

He chose to compromise with Jin Zidian. Anyway, he is getting older, and he will not live for a few years.
He thought he would spend the rest of his life under Jin Zidian's despotic power, but this time the Tamra rebellion gave him a chance to get rid of Jin Zidian.

He said: "This king agrees with the idea of ​​leading the discussion of politics, and asked Liu Chengmin, the chief of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, to lead 1 elite frontier troops to the south to help the whole state."

North Korea is not big, and it takes at most three or four days to travel from Pyongyang to Seoul.

But five full days had passed, but Liu Chengmin's army had not been seen in Seoul for a long time.The anxious Jin Zidian kept sending envoys to urge him, and every time he got a reply that he would arrive immediately, but he never saw the reinforcements.

But the situation in Jeonju is getting worse and worse. The firecrackers of the Tamna people are very sharp. Every day they use the firecrackers to shoot and kill the North Korean soldiers in Jeonju City from a long distance.

At present, there are less than 3000 people left in the whole prefecture, and Tamna people may destroy the city at any time!

Jin Zidian couldn't sit still anymore, and while continuing to send people to urge Liu Chengmin to enter Seoul, he proposed to send the Imperial Guards from Seoul to support Jeonju first.

Seeing that Jin Zidian was finally in the game, Li Ji agreed to use 7000 imperial guards to support Quanzhou.

Although Jin Zizhi kept a hand, there were still 3000 Janissaries in the city.But on the night when the army set off, Liu Chengmin's army entered Seoul.

The imperial guards in Wangcheng looked well-equipped, but they didn't go through many battles, and they quickly collapsed as soon as they fought against the frontier army.

Soon Liu Chengmin's frontier army surrounded Jin Zidian's mansion. At this time, people in the mansion were panicked, but Jin Zidian looked calm, because he predicted that Li Ji would not dare to kill him.

At this time, Liu Chengmin shouted outside the mansion: "North Korea is in charge of discussing government affairs. The ruler of the Luoxing Mansion, Jin Zi, insists on arrogance, extravagant mansions, internal and external agreements, and selfishness of the state. Such behaviors are indignant by both men and gods. The heavens and the earth cannot tolerate it, and now I am entrusting the order of the king to slaughter the entire family of the Jin Mansion, leaving no one behind, let me kill you!"

Jin Zidian didn't expect that Li Zhen would not talk about martial arts, and directly slaughtered his entire family. He cursed angrily: "Li Zhen, wait for me, then we will die together, and we will die together."

Liu Chengmin laughed loudly and said, "At this time, the old lair of the Andong Kim family in Gyeongsangbuk-do has probably been destroyed. Presumably, the leader will not be alone on Huangquan Road!"

In fact, over the years, Li Jing had already inquired about the whereabouts of the medical officer Li Xinyi, but Jin Zidian was so powerful in the court that he dared not do anything.

Now that Jin Zidian's troops around Seoul have been transferred away, he naturally no longer has any scruples.

Jin Zidian has repeatedly colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has long caused anger and resentment in North Korea. Li Zhen's killing of him is also a move in line with the will of the people.

The massacre lasted for half an hour, and none of the more than 3000 people in Jin Zidian's mansion was spared.In order to prevent any unfavorable evidence against him from leaking out, after Li Jing evacuated his property, he actually directly burned his mansion down.

This arrogant and domineering Anton Kim has completely disappeared from North Korea's political arena.

Soon Li Jing ordered Liu Chengmin to take Jin Zidian's head and go south to catch up with the 7000 imperial guards. Now that Jin Zidian has been executed, I believe those imperial guards will not make fearless resistance again!
After doing all this, Li Zhen felt extremely relaxed. He was the only king of North Korea, and those who tried to threaten him would die, and soon he fell asleep.

But not long after, Li Zhen was woken up by a voice outside the hall, and he cursed angrily: "What noise outside, dare to disturb my king's rest."

A servant stammered and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the Tamra people have entered the capital!"

Li Jing said: "How is this possible? Aren't they still in Quanzhou in the south?"

The scholar said: "It is said that they landed from Incheon. His Royal Highness personally opened the gate of the king's capital and let the Tamna people in. Now they have surrounded Gyeongbokgung Palace, and His Royal Highness is leading people to the king's bedroom. kill!"

Soon the eldest son Li Hao came to Li Zhen's bedroom, and there was a person behind him. Li Zhen took a closer look, wasn't this person the medical officer Li Xinyi he had been looking for?
The prince said indifferently: "Medical Officer Li, my father should miss you very much, so you should do to my father what you did to Prince Zhaoxian back then."

After speaking, Li Hao walked out of the bedroom without looking back.

Outside the hall, Li Qianhu from the Intelligence Department said: "On behalf of the Duke of Yue, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Qian Mo congratulates the son on his succession. Please rest assured, His Majesty Yongli's imperial decree will be sent to Seoul within a month. , the prince will definitely become the king of Joseon in a legitimate way."

There is also a reason why Qian Mo chose Li Hao. This Li Hao is Xiaozong in the history of Joseon. He is also the most active King of Joseon against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. He once contacted Zheng Chenggong and other Southern Ming forces and claimed that he would train [-] soldiers. Help Nanming regain the Central Plains.

Li Hao said: "Please rest assured, Duke Yue, North Korea will definitely sever ties with the Puppet Qing Dynasty and become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty again."
