Chapter 68 The Kingdom of Heaven wants you to kneel and you cannot stand
Chapter 68 The country wants you to kneel, but you can’t stand.
Half a month later, Yang Feng's 7,000-strong army marched south.
But it does not include the Ming army.
Zhang Fu knows how to measure things, and no amount of explanation can change the fact that they don't have authorization.
The order he received was to patrol along the Huli Gaijiang River.
The destination is Xiguancheng.
The area of Haolandian is officially an undetermined area in the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, but North Korea has actually controlled it, and North Korea belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a very respectful vassal, so as an official military commander of the Ming Dynasty, he needs to consider
A question that provokes disputes because of rashness...
To put it simply, if something goes wrong, you have to take the blame.
Therefore, the Ming army will not cross the Tumen River.
As for Yang Feng, it doesn't matter. He is not a subject of the Ming Dynasty.
If something goes wrong, you can clear it up.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang can pass the blame.
In short, His Majesty the Emperor's principle towards Yang Feng should be that if you do bad things, I will get the benefits, and if something goes wrong it has nothing to do with me.
As for the Jurchens, it doesn't matter, because they originally lived in this area. Many of Yang Feng's current 7,000 troops are Jurchens from the south of the Tumen River. Previously, those who totaled 6,000 were in a mess. After the Xiguan City was defeated, they were still there.
There are 4,500 left, but in the past half month, 2,500 new people have joined. Some are south of the Tumen River, and some are in the Muling River Basin, such as Xilawu. Then Yang Feng gave them to others.
He set up a Joy Department, and the names he gave to these tribes were all very festive. The Hip-Hop Department, the Joy Department, and even the Seven-surnamed Wu Diha became the Seven Joy Department.
In short, as these very festive tribes continue to join, his team of Jurchen warriors is also growing, and Ahachu does his best to gather for him what he can think of.
He is a smart man.
These chaotic tribes are all potential threats to him.
All will be weakened.
In fact, in history, Meng Ge Timur was killed by Mu Dongge and others.
But that was already decades later.
Therefore, Ahachu and these tribes may draw swords against each other at any time. Since Yang Feng wants to weaken them now, and he also needs to weaken them, of course he must cooperate tacitly, otherwise even if he is really defeated in the future
The Ming Dynasty has appointed officials, but it also depends on whether they can suppress hungry wolves like Mu Dongge.
Otherwise, I might be torn apart by these guys one day.
Weakening is the best!
I have to say that now Ahachu has completely taken on the role of a Ming official.
In this way, Yang Feng's army crossed the Tumen River in a mighty manner, sweeping along the way like locusts crossing the border.
But there's nothing to sweep away.
Because at this time North Korea's actual control area was to Jizhou, where there was a Jizhou Mu. According to the original history, during the Yongle period, Zhu Di gave up entangled with them in this area, and this area clearly became North Korea, and then began to meet in Wencheng.
They would rather set up protective palaces in these places. At this time, they felt guilty and stopped at Jizhou, but wanted the Jurchens in the middle area to surrender to them.
Therefore, you will not really encounter any obstruction from the Koreans before arriving in Jizhou.
Chongjin.
"It doesn't freeze here in winter, does it?"
Yang Feng asked.
His marching route was Wencheng, Huining, Funing and then here.
There is no real path in this era.
Marching in mountainous areas means walking along those riverbanks. The rivers open up roads, and then one river after another moves forward. If there are obstacles in the middle, only connecting channels can be opened, and these connecting channels are those famous passes.
After arriving in Chongjin, there is flat land along the coast. Even if it is broken flat land, it is enough for navigation.
The large pieces of flat land are residential areas.
"Sir, it won't freeze. No matter how cold the winter is, it won't freeze here."
A new bitch said in relatively blunt Chinese.
This guy named Mao Duo is also a Wudiha.
Most of this area is, from Wencheng to the south, there are Wudiha, Wudiha with the fifth surname, Wudiha with the fourth surname, etc. They are five small tribes together, four small tribes together, scattered in the mountainous areas.
Xiaozhai. Moreover, these Wudiha also farm, with thatched houses, wooden cabinets to store grain, and raising chickens, ducks, and pigs. They are no longer completely fishing and hunting. After all, the farther south you go, the warmer it gets, and there is also the influence of warm currents along the coast.
There is even rice.
They are obviously richer than before Odorli and Huli Gai.
At least the material is richer.
But the equipment level is just as bad.
A tribe can gather twenty or thirty people wearing simple armor, and the rest is a blank slate.
"Can you build a boat?"
Yang Feng said.
Chongjin is a very good place.
The Tumen River waterway is definitely unreachable in winter, so if you want a non-freezing port, the best place is here. Build a port here, and then go north in summer and south in winter, so that stable shipping can be formed.
All that's left is to build a road between Chongjin and Xiguancheng.
"Sir, you can't build a big ship, but you can build a small one."
"What about sailing?"
"Sometimes when the young people are very poor, they will also get some boats and go south along the coast to grab some money from the Korean coast. Winter is the best, and you can go as far south as possible if you follow the wind."
"Have you ever been to Japan?"
"We have few people and small boats, so we dare not cross the sea. According to the legend passed down by our ancestors, we did snatch it hundreds of years ago."
Mao Duo said with a smile.
So these are the descendants of Daoyi who were invaded by Daoyi.
They went south along the Korean coastline and plundered all the way to Tsushima Island and even Hakata. The Japanese country was very confused. They had no idea where so many pirates came from, and they were very fierce. However, the Japanese country still blocked them. This shows that this era
The fighting power of the Japanese country is still good. It can stop the Jurchen pirates and the Yuan army...
Regardless of the truth, they succeeded after all.
Yang Feng nodded.
Then he turned around and patted the guy on the shoulder.
"Follow me and work hard. I will build a big ship for you. From now on, we can go to Japan and have fun like our ancestors did."
he said.
"That's a good feeling."
Mao Duo nodded hurriedly.
It looked like his blood had awakened.
So there is no need for Zhu Yuanzhang to take action at all. He can just plunder these messes here and make a new round of Dao Yi invaders. Anyway, if you lose, the Jurchens will die, if you win, the Japanese slaves will die. If you don’t lose or win, you will both die the Jurchens and the Japanese slaves.
Let them test the combat effectiveness of the Japanese country first, and then attack the Ming army.
"Sir, the Koreans have set up defenses in Mulanggu to prevent us from moving forward."
The slaves of the Shi family came over to report.
They are still used to calling them Koreans.
"Where is Mulanggu?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Sir, it's further south."
"Is that the Mirror City?"
"Well, Mulanggu is like a mirror in children's words."
…
Mirror City.
"The Ming Dynasty is the supreme state, Korea is the vassal state, the king, the king, and the ministers have established their status. The ministers must abide by their duties and dare not have any second thoughts. But is it okay for a king to seize the land of his ministers by force?"
A civil servant who had been waiting for a long time said angrily.
However, the level of Korean literati at this time was not low. After all, it was Zheng Mengzhou who was assassinated by someone sent by Li Bangyuan just last year. This Korean scholar established the dominance of Neo-Confucianism in North Korea. Obviously, this literati also suffered greatly...
They all read stupidly.
Yang Feng was speechless, and then he hooked his hand.
The civil servant walked up to him with his head held high in a generous and elegiac manner...
The next moment, Yang Feng suddenly arrived beside him, turned around and grabbed the back of his neck with his right hand, and punched him down to the ground. They were standing on the bank of the river at the moment, and across the river behind them was the Mirror City, but at this time it was just a small building.
Tucheng. Yang Feng directly pressed his head into the mud at his feet, but the mud was not very deep, so he only went in halfway, and then pulled it out again. Then Yang Feng pressed in again, pulled out again, and pressed in again.
, and then pulled it out, the civil servant let out short screams again and again as he pushed in and out.
Then it stopped abruptly.
Then call again.
Then it stops abruptly.
…
Like chaos in the wind.
Until Yang Feng stopped...
“Shangguo, what is Shangguo?
You have to do whatever the heaven wants you to do; if it wants you to kneel, you cannot stand; if it wants you to sacrifice a horse, you have to sacrifice a horse; if it wants you to sacrifice a woman, you have to sacrifice a woman; if it wants you to sacrifice soil, you must also sacrifice soil.
.
Jun?
If you want you to die, you must die!"
Yang Feng carried the frightened and screaming civil servant and said fiercely.
The latter were already paralyzed.
It was just carried by him.
Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. After all, it was mud and not rocks.
"do you understand?"
Yang Feng asked.
The civil servant was so frightened that he nodded hastily.
This person was sent by Li Chenggui to negotiate, but in fact he was not from Kaicheng, but from Hezhou, the former Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion, which is now the Yongxing Governor's Mansion, which is regarded as the military and political center in this area. Then
It is Hamhung Prefecture, which was originally combined with Lanmanhu Prefecture, and Jizhou, which was originally Haiyang Manhu Prefecture. It can be said that from here on, it enters North Korea's heavily defended area here.
Li Chenggui was unable to respond effectively enough in such a short time.
Even if we mobilize our troops, we can't make it.
So Yang Feng's decision to give them half a month is purely bullying.
Half a month?
Li Chenggui couldn't even see the guy who was so frightened that he collapsed.
"Then get lost!"
Yang Feng casually threw him south.
The civil servant screamed and fell to the ground, and his subordinates quickly helped him up...
"I said get out!"
Yang Feng said seriously.
Then he waved his hand, and the Shi family slave shot an arrow next to the civil servant. A group of Wu Diha also looked at it with ill intentions. The civil servant turned his head with mud on his face, his eyes were full of resentment, but he
After all, he was sensible and just lay down on the ground and rolled forward. Since he couldn't roll a few times, his two subordinates had no choice but to help him. One pushed his legs and the other turned his head. They rolled little by little, with the Jurchen laughing behind him.
Voice.
They just watched him roll into the Mirror City.
Just as the soldiers inside were about to close the city gate, Yang Feng fired a grenade in.
"attack!"
He shouted amidst the explosion.
The Jurchen cavalry, which had been waiting for a long time, howled and began to charge.
Some of the North Korean soldiers who closed the city gate were knocked over by grenades, and the rest were so frightened that they ran away. No one tried to close the city gate again. Mu Dong, who took the lead, rushed in with a mace. However, at this time, the Korean soldiers still
Very brave, after all, he was able to fight bloody battles with the Red Scarf Army. The Red Scarf Army led by Mr. Guan and Po Tou Pan were defeated in Goryeo. In addition, they may be angry. After all, they all saw Yang Feng's humiliation of the civil servant.
They knew very well that this kind of humiliation could easily arouse their anger. Just as the Jurchens rushed into the city gate, the Korean soldiers on the city wall were still shooting arrows, and a spear formation was quickly formed inside to block the Jurchens entering the city.
Immediately after the spears, javelins flew out one after another.
At this time, javelins were very common. Unlike modern people's impressions, in the early Ming Dynasty, the popularity of javelins for both cavalry and infantry was comparable to bows and arrows, and cavalry in particular even preferred javelins.
The same goes for the Korean army.
Brother Mudong, who was riding a horse, was caught off guard and was hit in the chest by a javelin.
Yang Feng lost a general in this way.
"Take this city and kill everyone to avenge Brother Mudong!"
Ambassador Yang said angrily.
Then the Jurchen warriors became angry and continued to attack regardless of their own lives.
As for Ambassador Yang...
Of course it’s magic replenishment!
So he just took the rifle and shot randomly.
For the attacking Jurchen warriors, the sound of gunshots was a magic remedy, reminding them that there was a shaman behind them, a commander with supernatural power, so they were definitely the victors, but at most they might not live to see victory.
. But as long as he is not too unlucky, he will still be able to see victory alive after all. What is more important is that he cannot retreat. If he retreats, they will be shot. I have to say that Ambassador Yang is good at everything, but this military law is strict and only advances.
Don’t retreat!
Fortunately, everyone is only advancing and not retreating, so I feel much better.
"Attack, attack. Those who retreat will be killed without mercy. The Mirror City is all yours!"
Yang Feng howled.
Then he hit a grenade on the city wall.
Seeing the flames of the explosion, Mao Duo, who was climbing the city wall, instantly completed the magic repair. He immediately howled wildly, bravely climbed over the arrow stack and chopped down a Korean soldier with a knife.
Behind him, more Udiha warriors howled and climbed onto the city.
But at this moment, Mao Duo actually stopped and turned around as quickly as possible...
"My lord, my lord, there is a fleet on the sea, dozens of big ships!"
He roared at the top of his lungs.
Several Wudiha behind him quickly raised their shields to protect him.
Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he urged his horse to go west around the barrier of Mirror City. Then a few sail shadows appeared on the sea in the distance. He immediately took out his telescope and adjusted it to the largest ship. Soon a flag became clear. And
It was obviously the Ming army. This ship should belong to the fleet commander. He urged his horse to move forward. As for the Mirror City behind, there was no need to worry about this.
Because the Korean soldiers were already fleeing.
However, they couldn't escape. The Udiha warriors behind them who had not entered the city were already chasing them around Mirror City.
What these Wudiha want are armor weapons.
This is what they lack most, and things like livestock and food are secondary.
And Korean soldiers wear armor.
As long as they get armor, their combat effectiveness will be doubled.
Yang Feng, who walked around Mirror City, quickly saw the words on the flag clearly...
"It's still a family!"
he said.
There is a Yang on it.
He then took out a grenade, pulled out the safety, paused briefly, and then threw it into the sky in front of him with all his strength. The grenade exploded at a height of tens of meters. And on the battleship on the sea, a rocket soon rose.
, also exploded in the sky, and then one battleship after another turned this way...
