Chapter 26 The curtain of the Korean War

Zhu Qizhen's heart was very vigorous, and countless thoughts were flying around.

Since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, he has been here.

All reforms in Zhu Qizhen are repaired and repaired.

Whether it is salt administration, military strategy, water conservancy, Shaofu reform, Chidao, etc., all of this is the case. The policies that have not been well operated or have many loopholes in the past eighty or ninety years will be repaired and reformed.

However, Zhu Qizhen rarely took the initiative to launch some major reforms.

No, Zhu Qizhen doesn't want to.

But Zhu Qizhen thought about it himself, it was useless.

Because the ministers below don't want to.

All reforms must have their own ideas and core values, and must be able to convince the people of the world and continue to be implemented. Otherwise, even if Zhu Qizhen supports him behind the scenes and makes it vigorous, it may most likely die in the future.

There is nothing else. Generally speaking, after Shang Yang's reforms, China has not had any very successful reforms.

Zhu Qizhen gave birth to infinite associations because of these four words.

He seemed to be able to vaguely feel that a theory that conforms to Confucian values ​​and can provide him with reform is taking shape.

"No, no hurry." Zhu Qizhen said in his heart: "If you don't kill the thorn, this matter cannot be put on the agenda. The future will be long and the future will be long."

Although Zhu Qizhen thought this in his heart, he felt relieved all over his body. The solution to a difficult problem was simply a matter of no time to find it.

Just at the same time as the Ming Dynasty Examination.

The Ming envoy Li Shi also left Seoul.

When Li Shi came to Seoul again, Li Jing did not see Li Shi at all, and he showed no sincerity.

This is also normal.

During this period, the heavy snow gradually melted. News from Beijing also reached Seoul.

Li Jiang naturally knew that the conditions of the Ming Dynasty were impossible for him to agree.

So he started to delay time.

Li Jiang now feels that only after the Ming Dynasty was bleeding from the iron walls of North Korea could he talk again.

Therefore, Li Jiang began a series of troops preparing for war.

But in terms of face, he was very respectful to the Ming Dynasty. He was at home and treated Li Shi with all kinds of hospitality, but he just didn't mention the serious matters.

However, such a situation cannot be hidden from Li Shi, and even more so, it cannot be hidden from Jinyiwei.

Therefore, Li Shi insisted and finally got out.

When Li Shi heard the news, the government and the country were shocked.

To be honest, the Ming Dynasty's officialdom had a prediction of Li Jing's attitude, and there was a high probability that this would be guessed, but it was still difficult to accept being slapped in the face by North Korea like this.

So, lower-level officials have begun to submit memorials, asking to attack North Korea.

After the formation of this trend, Zhu Qizhen also expressed his attitude.

Then the battle against North Korea has naturally entered the advancement stage.

Zhu Qizhen officially appointed Cao Yi as General of the East, General of the Liaodong and Haixi. He was under his command of the front army and the six battalions, and 80,000 troops were sent out of the capital, and combined with the Liaodong and Haixi Navy, sending a total of about 130,000 troops.

Then the army began to leave Shanhaiguan and head towards the Phoenix Guard.

The Phoenix Guard court is close to the closest garrison in Yalu River, so it is naturally the base for the advance of the army this time. Although the Beijing army has not arrived yet, Jiao Li has sent 20,000 to 30,000 people to station here to block the two sides of the Yalu River.

He even sent troops to North Korea to spy on the news.

All ports also received news that trade with North Korea was prohibited. Wang Ying also returned to Songjiang urgently, preparing to assemble ships to Tianjin north, and then transport the army to attack North Korea by sea.

Such loud momentum will naturally spread to the world and have a great impact on North Korea.

In North Korea, people are naturally in panic.

Today's North Korea is not the North Korea of ​​later generations.

The Battle of Ion-chen, or other wars in later generations, were the fact that the Lee family in Korea had already become deeply rooted and became the king of the Koreans. Their orthodoxy was unquestionable.

The Li family in this era had only six monarchs and four generations. The founding of the Ming Dynasty was less than a hundred years later, and the founding of the country of North Korea was more than ten years later than the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the influence of the three generations of people can certainly make the Lee family firmly the throne of the Joseon King, it cannot make the North Koreans regard the Lee family and the Joseon King as natural orthodox.

Especially Li Jiang did such a thing again, which further damaged North Korea's orthodoxy.

Moreover, North Korea has not been invaded by foreign enemies much now, but Goryeo was invaded by Mongolia many times before. Many people in North Korea have no confidence in the Great Beast Ming Dynasty.

The situation for Li Jing was particularly difficult.

We have to admit that we cannot do great treason without great wisdom and courage.

Li Jiang is such a person.

If Li Jing was a mediocre talent, he would not be able to do such a thing.

Sejong of Korea is indeed a character, with two sons, one is literary and one is martial, and each is good at winning the game. But the New Year is not over. If King Wenzong is still alive, things will not be so.

While Li Jing started a massacre, he seemed to kill all those who were dissatisfied. In addition, he repeatedly married aristocratic families and married dozens of concubines in one go.

It is widely publicized that the Ming Dynasty was about to destroy North Korea, after all, there are lessons from Annan.

When the Ming Dynasty entered Annan, it was also a matter of justice, and then he didn't want to leave.

Although many people are not very satisfied with Li Jing, North Korea, like Annan, has long been an independent nation and has its own national consciousness.

Naturally, I don’t want the wise to enter North Korea.

Nowadays, the military discipline of the army is just like that. Even if the Ming Dynasty does not like to pass through the border, let alone North Korea?

Under the slightest and hardest, under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jing completed the superficial integration of North Korea and led the six North Korean armies.

With the internal imperial troops as the core, the recruitment of all northern troops was the old team that had been listened to under Li Jing's command, and mobilized 100,000 troops in one breath.

Li Jing stayed in Han Huiming to guard Seoul and manage the domestic situation, while he personally led the army.

It’s not that Li Jiang didn’t want to stay in Seoul, but at this time, Li Jiang decided not to hand over the military power to anyone, no matter who it was, he would not trust.

All he trusts is himself.

Before leaving, Han Huiming said to Li Jing: "Ming is strong and I am weak, but the situation may not be all good for Ming. The civil strife of Wats is also a natural talent, and it will not take long to calm down."

"I have sent someone to contact Washi. Washi will definitely not allow Ming to destroy North Korea. Therefore, next year or even this fall, I will definitely attack Haixi and Liaodong, so the Ming army will not be able to attack the Yalu River with all its strength."

"At that time, if your highness is humble and generous, the difficulty will be overcome."

Li Jiang sighed and said, "North Korea's small country is weak and humiliated to this point. This revenge will be avenged."

Han Huiming said: "Your Majesty, you must not say this. The Ming Dynasty was the king and the North Korea was the minister. Now it is just a big stick that leaves, and a small stick that takes it."

"North Korea will always be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty."

"But, it's time to get through this year."

The establishment of North Korea was the result of political struggle between pro-Yuan factions and pro-Ming factions within North Korea. Therefore, there are many pro-Ming forces within North Korea, which are also the forces that Li Jing attacked.

It’s just that this idea is deeply rooted.

It cannot be eradicated easily.

North Korea's international environment also prevents them from eradicating this idea, for no other reason.

The idea of ​​major affairs is the foundation of the founding of North Korea. Even in later generations, this idea will guide South Korea's diplomacy.

This is a real geopolitical decision.

No matter how unwilling Li Ying was, in the face of the Ming Dynasty's attack, he had to be beaten while sending more envoys to Beijing to ask for forgiveness.

The two seem to be in conflict with each other, but they can't help it.

This is the sorrow of a small country.

"I know. After this year, everything suddenly became clear. If I can't stand it, I'll ask my little family to go to Japan by Han Jun. I can only keep my bloodline, and it's not in vain for you and my ministers to meet you." Li Jing said.

Li Jing actually felt pessimistic about this situation.

Han Huiming said: "The king must not say this, otherwise it will shake the morale of the army."

Li Jiang said, "I know." He took a step back, bowed a long time, and said, "Anyway, please."

Han Huiming immediately returned the favor and said, "Please rest assured, I will be in Seoul for one day, and Seoul will be free of worries for a day."

Li Jing led his army out of Seoul City and winded towards the Yalu River. The Ming army also passed Liaoyang and turned east. In early April, the food, supplies, and supplies of both sides were in place.

The war begins.
