The entire three thousand miles of rivers and mountains of Goryeo fell into a chaotic and strange situation. The good country was divided into two. In the mountains in the north, there were generals from the Kim family who supported their own troops. The orthodox court in the south was no longer orthodox. The new king actually
He ascended the throne under the bayonet of the Ming army.
It is not shameful to say that this Ming army is a serious army of the Celestial Dynasty. After all, Goryeo is considered a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but these people are rebels of the Ming Dynasty, wanted criminals in exile overseas, and they were occupied by such a group of bandits.
, who led a bunch of scoundrels to plunder people's wealth and anointing all day long, which made the old masters of Korea who had read the books of saints and sages miserable. It was really a ruin of etiquette and happiness, and the world was in ruins.
Liu Ziguang doesn't care about that, so what he needs now is to raise as much war capital as possible. Don't look at the 100 million taels promised to him by his old father-in-law Hu Xueyan. Those are just figures on the books. A lot of money is hidden in secret caves in deep mountains and forests.
If you want to raise military funds, you still have to rely on yourself.
Regarding the temple name of the late king Li Zhu, Li Mingbo led a group of sour scholars to figure out a "Renzu" and asked Liu Ziguang for instructions. Liu Ziguang laughed as soon as he saw it and went on a military rampage. He wanted to get rid of the control of the Ming Dynasty and establish himself as emperor.
It's still Injo, but the deceased is the most important, isn't it just a temple name worth three coins but not two dates, so I simply let them toss it, and then I waved my hand and said I agreed.
Li Mingbo added: "My lord, if the new king ascends the throne, he should notify Nanjing and wait for the Ming Emperor's edict to officially ascend the throne. But... you see..."
This means that the new king is supported by Liu Ziguang, can Nanjing recognize it?
Liu Ziguang said: "Korea is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. This rule cannot be broken. Everything should be done according to the old rules. Let's send envoys to Nanjing. When we get the edict, we will come back. Hanyang might as well take the seat first. The country cannot survive for a day.
There is no king."
Li Mingbo nodded in agreement. Now Liu Ziguang is the Supreme Emperor of Goryeo. Whatever he says will be done. Who knows if the Ming Dynasty, which is thousands of miles away now, will be taken over by this man in the future. These are all things that are hard to say.
Although Lee Myung-bak is just a ninth-level colleague, he is well aware of world affairs. He has studied the history of the Central Plains for many years and knows the fortune history of emperors in all dynasties. The person in front of him meets the requirements of most emperors before they ascend the throne. To say that this person
I really went into exile overseas. Even if I kill Lee Myung-bak, I won’t believe it. Who is going into exile with tens of thousands of troops and such a huge fleet? Who is going into exile and destroying other countries and supporting a puppet regime? This is obviously a temporary
As long as the overlord of the world, who has fallen from power, hugs his thick thigh and runs hard, when Liu Ziguang ascends to the 95th rank in the future, it is not a matter of words for him, Lee Myung-bak, to become the King of Korea.
Of course Liu Ziguang didn't know that Li Mingbo was thinking wildly. He asked, "Old Li, how are you raising the money?"
The money refers to the compensation paid by the Goryeo Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty army and the expenditure to maintain public security in Hanyang. To be honest, Lee Myung-bak did try his best. Anyway, there are no relatives or friends of his in Hanyang City, and all the old bureaucrats dislike him, which is just right.
I took this opportunity to repair them, but the Goryeo Kingdom was really too poor. They plundered all the treasury of Hu Cao and Gyeongbokgung Palace, and only had more than one million taels of silver. Another million taels of silver were confiscated from the people, and the land was plundered.
There are only so many rulers left. As soon as Li Mingbo explained the situation, Liu Ziguang's expression changed and he said calmly: "Old Li, you can't do this. If the military budget is insufficient, I can't keep the army in Goryeo."
Already."
It was originally agreed that Liu Ziguang would leave a navy Bu Yong to station in Gyeonggi Province in the south of Goryeo to assist the Goryeo authorities in resisting all external dangers. All expenses would be borne by the Goryeo court. To this end, the Minggao Security Treaty was signed with great pretentiousness.
, but Lee Myung-bak only raised two million taels of silver, which was not enough to spend on the Ming army stationed in Goryeo. In this way, the treaty could not be fulfilled, the army could not assist Lee Myung-bak, and Min Jung-ho did not cooperate. This did not mean that the old man was
Are the plums roasted on the fire?
Sure enough, when Liu Ziguang said this, Lee Myung-bak became anxious and hurriedly patted his chest and said that he would definitely raise enough money in three days to fulfill the security treaty.
Liu Ziguang then softened his expression and said: "That's right. I won't treat you badly if you do your job well. The garrison has been arranged for you. A whole battalion of Navy Bu Yong will talk about these unflattering things in China.
Even if Jin Caocheng comes from the north, he can beat them back."
Li Mingbo took a reassurance and left with a lot of thanks. Liu Ziguang then read the telegram that the messenger had just brought, but he was very surprised when he saw it. It turned out that the whereabouts of his wife and children had been found out.
Although Liu Ziguang has no territory in the south of the Yangtze River, his soft power is quite strong. Not to mention the Tiandi Society, which is the largest gang in the world controlled by his fiancée Dai Wenpei. It is rampant in the Yangtze River Delta region, the richest area in the Ming Dynasty.
An organization that doesn't even buy the Tiandihui's account is extremely famous. Its members range from ocean-going sailors, dock coolies, tricycle drivers to yamen clerks, class leaders, and even scholars and squires. They are all members of this organization. This new type of gang.
Their forces spread across all three religions and nine streams, and when mobilized, they were even more powerful than the government. Although its name was a bit vulgar, it was just three words that didn't stand out: the Ax Gang.
The leader of the Ax Gang, Lin Sheng, was just a fruit vendor on the Huangpu River wharf. He was single-handedly promoted by Liu Ziguang. Now he is also a prominent tycoon. He has never forgotten the well digger. What about Boss Lin, who has become rich and well-off?
Will you forget your benefactor Liu Ziguang? Immediately after the news of Zhen Guogong's rebellion came out, Shanghai Road organized a massive parade to accuse the traitor of atrocities and support the wronged Liu Ziguang. Shanghai Governor Ma Shiying was on both sides of the aisle.
Seeing the fall of his patron Liu Ziguang, he wanted to suppress the people and submitted a certificate of surrender to the court. However, the military power was in the hands of the commander of the Shanghai Guard Li Peng. This man had not read the books of sages and did not know how to be loyal to the emperor and patriot. He had some sense of loyalty in the world, but without the emperor's imperial edict.
They were absolutely unwilling to send troops to suppress the situation, and even Ma Shiying didn't do anything. In short, the water in the Jiangnan area was muddy, and no one could hope to wipe out Liu Ziguang's influence so neatly.
The news that his wife and children were taken to Shanghai was notified by the Beggar Clan to the Tiandihui. After receiving the report, the Tiandihui immediately sent personnel to Shanghai, joined forces with the Ax Gang, and quickly launched an investigation. The local snake was really not blown away.
The Sky Ax Gang investigated and found out that these people were hiding in a mansion by the Huangpu River. They lived in seclusion and kept a low profile on weekdays. Because they were afraid that a force attack would attract the attention of the court and accidentally hurt the family of the Duke of Guo, so everyone stayed put for the time being and called Liu Ziguang to let him go.
Don't worry, please let me know what to do next.
No matter how powerful the Ax Gang is, it cannot be equipped with a radio station. The radio station used to send reports to Liu Ziguang is equipment from the China Merchants Bureau. The China Merchants Bureau is headquartered in Shanghai and has thousands of ships and more than 100,000 sailors and boatmen.
There were no less than ten thousand boatmen guarding the ship. The green hat special forces who cooperated with the Red Shirt Army in attacking Beijing were foreign boatmen from China Merchants Bureau.
Shanghai Road is the most special administrative region in the Ming Dynasty. Because this city was the window for the Ming Dynasty's foreign trade, it has been corroded by the foreign barbarians' thoughts of having no king and father for many years. The idea of king supremacy no longer has a market, and everyone only has interests in their hearts.
That's all. Liu Ziguang's industries are all over Shanghai. It can be said that one out of every three Shanghainese makes a living from Liu Ziguang's industries or subsidiary industries. When Liu Ziguang falls, it will have a huge impact on them, plus those greedy people.
The eunuchs who took over were acting recklessly, causing public resentment to boil over. Under such circumstances, there was really no way to arrest Liu Ziguang's family members.
As for Liu Ziguang, he was overjoyed after receiving the telegram. He immediately sent a secret message to the Ax Gang and immediately found out the identity of the kidnapper. The main purpose of everything was to save the lives of Zeng Cheng and the child. It was up to Dai Wenpei to decide what to do. Firstly,
Because he was too far away, he couldn't command in time. Moreover, even if he was on the scene, he might not be able to organize it better than Dai Wenpei. This kind of gang fights involving dozens or hundreds of people are still good at Jianghu people.
After receiving the command from the commander-in-chief, Lin Sheng, the head of the Ax Gang, immediately handed over the command to Dai Wenpei, the executive director of the Tiandihui, and the two forces were concentrated under Dai Wenpei's control. There was nothing pretentious or pretentious about this matter.
There is room for bargaining. You must know that the leader of the Ax Gang is not Lin Sheng, but Xu Wenqiang, which is also the pseudonym of Liu Ziguang. Lin Sheng has only managed the gang on behalf of "Brother Xu" for a long time. Now that "Brother Xu" has spoken, he is naturally half
Not a word of dissatisfaction.
Shanghai is a mixed place and a transportation hub. If these people who don’t know the details take a chance and take a boat out to sea, they will be nowhere to be found. Therefore, before the matter is found out, we must strengthen the investigation of this place.
The surveillance of the house, but the terrain of this big house is strange. The front door is on a small street, and their house is the only one on the street. It is impossible to pretend to be a passerby or a small vendor. The back door faces the Huangpu River, which is full of boats.
However, the traffic was too busy and it was not convenient to monitor. After much deliberation, I had to ask people from the Beggar Clan to come forward. Because this family likes to give alms and has a very good attitude towards beggars, I sent a few beggars to go to their house to bask in the sun and catch lice, and to monitor them at the same time.
The movement is beautiful, isn’t it?
The Beggars Gang is known as the largest gang in the world, even more powerful than the Heaven and Earth Society. Their old gang leader is particularly powerful. I heard that a set of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms can be used all over the world. The masters of Shaolin and Wudang have to give three points of courtesy, while the new gang leader is
What's even more awesome is that since he took the position of gang leader, he has never been seen before. Even the elders of the gang have never seen his true form. You can imagine how mysterious he is.
Dai Wenpei sent someone to send a message, requesting to discuss important matters with the leader of the Beggar Clan, but he was blocked by them, saying that he was not available and that he would not see him. If you have anything to do, just talk to the people below. If you want someone to help, you need money to help.
Qian, Dai Wenpei is so angry. No one has ever pulled her in front of her like this since the founding of the Tiandi Society, but now that she has someone to ask for, she can only endure it.
Sure enough, the Beggars Gang sent some disciples to the Tiandihui to monitor day and night. The Ax Gang also sent dozens of sampans to patrol the Huangpu River every day. Finally, one day they discovered a clue. Several people came out of the big house and went up.
The street purchased a batch of children's toys, snacks, etc. It can be seen that the young master is still detained and has not been transferred.
Dai Wenpei thought of countless plans, but in the end she could not make up her mind to attack with force. Her female intuition made her feel that the people who kidnapped the young master were not bad people. It can be seen from their kindness and buying toys and snacks for the children. Since
They stay behind closed doors, so the best way to get to the bottom of the matter is to visit them.
