The General of Zhenguo.

Although Zhang Qidong was the general of the Goryeo Kingdom, many of the powers were not in his hands. Except for the northern border, he could not command the troops near the capital.

This time it was completely different. The King of Goryeo had already issued an order. This guy began to assemble all the troops in Goryeo. It can be said that it was a milestone in his life history. Most of the troops in Goryeo will be waiting for orders under his hands.

So at the beginning, this guy was really very happy.

This fulfilled his wish for many years, but as the battle reports were sent over, there was no smile on the guy's face.

When he was in the capital of Goryeo, he didn't believe Park Yu-sung's words at all. He thought that this was just like those defeated generals, and he was all exonerated for himself. Even if the Ming Dynasty army was so powerful, it would not be able to deal with our six patrol battalions overnight, right?

Now that he saw these war reports in his hands, he finally believed them. The people who gave them these war reports were all his confidants, and these people would never lie. Now the Ming army is blooming everywhere, and the coastal areas of Goryeo are in urgent need.

It has only been three or four days since then, and this is already the result. Our movements are slow and the army has not yet gathered. I guess if we are at this speed and wait for the other person to come, we will not be able to gather here either.

"The general must have a charter, otherwise we might not be able to hold on."

The generals under his command finally began to panic. According to their original ideas, it might be useless to defeat the Ming army, but it would be fine to persist for a month. However, the reports received from all over the place today made them lose this confidence.

"How many troops have we assembled in total? Although the enemy is scattering troops everywhere, there should be one place that is the main force."

Zhang Qidong was already panicked, but this guy couldn't show it. He could still be very calm when facing his own subordinates.

"If you go back to the general, there are only 33,000 people gathered at present, and the rest are still on the way. According to the news they sent, it will take at least half a month."

After the officer responsible for assembling the army said this, Zhang Qidong sighed helplessly. Our movement speed is normal, and if you want to blame, you can only blame the other party for its movement speed too fast.

"Where is the main enemy force?"

Zhang Qidong also wants to change his strategic goals. If he still wants to block the enemy outside the national border, it is obviously illogical. Now he can only block the most important enemy first. As for the others, he can only ignore it for the time being.

"If you go back to the general, the enemy's commander Zheng Zhilong will lead an army slowly approaching. Beizhi estimated that their target should be our capital. Although their speed is not too fast, we don't have many defensive troops along the way. If we let them move forward like this, the capital..."

They also saw that although there were war everywhere, most of the troops attacked at sea, then came down to rob a group of things, and then they lost their lives.

But the army under Zheng Zhilong was different. They slowly advanced from the negotiation site and have now advanced twenty miles.

Goryeo is different from the Ming Dynasty. Twenty miles are nothing to the Ming Dynasty. Even a few hundred miles are nothing. Goryeo is small in area, especially the distance between the east and west is quite large. Twenty miles is already quite a bit.

Zhang Qidong knew very well that it would not matter if something happened elsewhere, and the king would not blame him. After all, the strength of the two sides was very different, but if they were to fight near the royal city, it would not be a trivial matter.

"It is said that the generals of this general, all the gathered troops are about to start the war. We must stop this army and stop them at Tianmen Pass."

Tianmen Pass is a checkpoint in the Goryeo Kingdom. There are not many ordinary people here, and it is also a barrier to the Goryeo King City. If this place is broken, I am afraid that Zheng Zhilong's army will be able to reach the royal city directly.

"General, Tianmen Pass is old and disrepaired, and I'm afraid it will not be able to station so many troops."

After hearing the general's order, these people did not go out to mobilize the army, but first talked about the difficulties here. The general has been stationed in the northern area and is not clear about the situation near the royal city.

"How come you are old and disrepaired? Doesn't the king broadcast special silver and Tianmen Pass every year to repair it?"

Zhang Qidong said in surprise that although Goryeo does not have much money, the imperial court also takes out special approvals for such an important level every year. Now these people say that they are old and disrepair. What is this not fart?

"Uh...this..."

The people below didn't know how to answer this question anymore. A general whispered in Zhang Qidong's ear to explain the question, but Zhang Qidong was so angry that he was so angry.

It turns out that the person responsible for repairing Tianmen Pass was nothing else, but the younger brother of the King of Goryeo.

This guy is responsible for this project every year and puts the money in his pocket every year. In previous years, he even asked someone to put it in, and repair it a little bit.

Since the Qing Dynasty invaded, the Goryeo prince was robbed very much, so he simply did not pay the money he had just pretended to be.

In total, this is the fourth year. I haven't paid a tael of silver to Tianmen Pass in four years.

The following officials also know, but who would talk about this? Anyway, the country belongs to you brothers. If someone talks more, maybe the person who talks more cannot see the sun tomorrow?

"The scum of the country is wrong."

Zhang Qidong said angrily that this guy actually enjoys his personal pockets during the management of the northern border, but his work is a little more obscure and it is impossible for him to not pay a tael of silver for several years.

For officials in Goryeo, corruption is a very normal thing.

It is even more powerful than the late Ming Dynasty, mainly because of the lack of effective supervision, so no one can say that the bottom of his butt is not clean, but now it is necessary to close the Tianmen, so this matter will be exposed.

"Why are you still standing there? Even a mound needs to take people to guard there, otherwise we have other places?"

After Zhang Qidong said this, the people below quickly went out to assemble the army, but this guy was not a fool. If he couldn't hold it, he had already figured out who would take the responsibility.
