Three hundred Korean sergeants attacked the thirteen Jianzhou Jurchens from both sides in a dangerous place, and they were able to break out the three Jurchens. Moreover, these three hundred sergeants were the so-called elites of the Pingshan Protectorate. They had the right time and place, and they were able to break out.
The enemy was outnumbered, but the casualties were so heavy. Ayayang Lord Li Shu felt deeply that he had lost face in front of the angel Zhang Yuan of the Kingdom of Heaven. His face was ashen, and he stared at Li Gui, extremely annoyed——
Zhang Yuan said softly to Li Gui: "The Jurchens of Jianzhou have always been fierce, and those who came here with Nalan Baksh are even more brave warriors. Li Duhu's troops have fought bloody battles and tried their best. Your Highness, please don't blame me deeply. Okay."
Captured alive in Nalanbakshi, no one of the slaves escaped, it's done - please protect Li to clear the mountain road quickly, try to treat the injured, and prevent the news from leaking. We have to rush back to the reception hall now."
Six Jinyi guards escorted the three injured Jianzhou Jurchens over. One of them was seriously injured. Zhen Zidan asked Zhang Yuan if he wanted treatment?
Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly, and Zhen Zidan ordered the Jinyi guards to drag the seriously injured Jurchen away, kill him with a knife, and throw it together with the dead bodies of other Jurchens.
One of the other two Jurchens was injured on the left arm, and the other was injured on the right flank and right leg. The Jin Yiwei had simply bandaged the two to stop the bleeding. The two were exhausted and no longer struggled. They just glared at Zhang Yuan and the others.
The Jurchen who injured his right flank and right leg was in his fifties, of medium build, with a black beard on both upper lips and a goatee on his lower chin. His two small eyes were narrowed and he stared at Zhang Yuan and said: "You are Zhang Yuan, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty.
?" This person spoke the Ming Dynasty Mandarin quite fluently.
Zhang Yuan had just been reminded by Guest Guang that this half-old Jurchen was Nalan Bakshi, also known as Erdeni. Bakshi means master, Erdeni means treasure, and this person is Nurhachi.
The first civil servant under his command was in charge of the laws and documents of the founding of the state. He also created Manchu script a few years ago. However, the Jurchens have always used Mongolian and Chinese, and there are only a few literate Jurchens. There are only a few newly created Manchu scripts.
Personal identification has no effect except to satisfy Nurhachi's vanity of having his own Jurchen writing——
Zhang Yuan now has no time to pay attention to this Nalan Baksh, and only ordered people to keep Nalan Baksh and another Jurchen under strict custody. The reply letter from Guanghai Jun to Nurhaci has been found, and he will bring it back to Ming Dynasty as Guanghai
Evidence that Haijun colluded with Nurhachi.
The morning sun rose and it was already a quarter past three o'clock. This morning, Anping Lord Li Jin was leaving the city to pay a visit to Zhang Yuan. Time was running out. Zhang Yuan and Li Zhu had to rush back to the reception hall immediately. This area was temporarily blocked. When Zhang Yuan rode his horse through the Beiyue Mountain Road,
Bloodstains and broken weapons can be seen everywhere. The dead bodies and injured have been cleared away and moved away. There are still horses with broken legs and injured neighing——
Zhang Yuan just defended Li Gui for suffering heavy casualties despite being outnumbered. In fact, he knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the Korean sergeants was really weak. When they fought against the Japanese, they were defeated in one blow. They have not improved after more than 20 years.
Beiyue Mountain ambush, three hundred elite soldiers besieged thirteen Jurchens. If the terrain was not congested and the Jurchens' mounts could not function, and if they were not on an envoy and could not carry bows and arrows, long-handled weapons and armor, these three hundred Korean sergeants would have fought.
Even if more than half of them died, it would not stop Nalanbaksh from breaking through——
The sun shone into the valley from the eastern pass of Beiyue Mountain. Mu Jingyan rode his horse and followed Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan turned to Mu Jingyan and said: "Uncle Mu, you have seen how fierce the Jurchens are. If it were replaced by three hundred Liaodong
The Ming army is here, but the situation is not much better. The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is no longer as good as that of the three major campaigns of Wanli."
Mu Jingyan looked solemn. He had been in the Yansui border guards for three years. He didn't know the combat capabilities of the other border guards. He knew the combat capabilities of the Yansui guards. He said: "Only now do I understand why your Excellency has always regarded Jianzhou as a lowly position."
For the enemy."
Zhen Zidan also said: "No wonder Mr. Zhang was extremely concerned about the Liaodong border guards all the way. The slave chiefs established their country and proclaimed themselves khan, which really gave them some confidence."
…
When Zhang Yuan and his entourage returned to the receiving hall, they encountered Li Cao Counselor Yu Yan who had sent someone to deliver food. Seeing Zhang Yuan and Ling Yang Jun's servants riding back from outside, Yu Yan couldn't help but look surprised. Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "
After a long period of quiet thought, I got up in the morning and went for a run around the western suburbs accompanied by His Highness Ayang-kun."
Yu Yan did not doubt that he was there, and said to Zhang Yuan: "My dear angel, His Highness Lord Anping will leave the city from Xingren Gate at three o'clock. Will the reception hall also prepare relevant etiquette?" Yu Yan meant Lord Anping Li Qi.
He is the future king of Korea, and the Chinese envoys should respect him and cannot wait for Lord Anping to see him.
Zhang Yuandao: "I will take a shower and change clothes, and then I will go outside the city to meet His Highness Lord Anping."
Yu Yan was very happy when he heard this, and hurried back to Sungkyunkwan to report to Liu Dongming and Zheng Renhong. Zheng Renhong sneered and said: "I heard a saying in the Ming Dynasty that 'money can make ghosts grind mills,' and I believe it."
Liu Dongming hurried back to the city and arranged the imperial guards to protect Lord Anping when he left the city. The rest of the incense pavilion, dragon pavilion, ceremonial guards, and drum music had been arranged last night. They were all reliable people, and accidents like Huang Haidao would never be allowed to happen again.
In the reception hall, Zhang Yuan put on his python robe and jade belt after bathing. Ruan Dacheng came over and saw the solemn appearance of Zhang Yuan's python robe and jade belt, and said curiously: "Xian brother, this is the dress given to you by the emperor to preside over the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince of Joseon. Why today?"
Just put it on?"
Zhang Yuandao: "Today is the first time I meet Mr. Anping. It would be better to be more solemn. Brother Ji, I have something to tell you. Last night, the sergeants of Pingshan Jiedushi Li Gui captured several Jianzhou Jurchens during their patrol. They were actually
Nurhaci's messenger was ordered to see Lord Guanghai, and Lord Guanghai rewarded him with a gift and a reply to Nurhaci." As he said this, he took out the reply he had found from Nalanbaksh.
I handed it to Ruan Dacheng to read. This time the book had the seal of the Seongjeongyuan of North Korea.
"There is such a thing!" Ruan Dacheng was shocked. He hurriedly read the letter and said bitterly: "Guanghai Junyang violated the yin and exchanged letters with the slave chief. It seems that we have no choice but to return to the country in accordance with the imperial edict. Why is this, my dear brother?"
Do you want to wear a dress and a crown to meet Mr. Anping?"
Zhang Yuandao: "Only by exposing his ungratefulness to his face can he avoid losing the majesty of our great country."
Ruan Dacheng was a little worried and said, "What if Lord Guanghai gets angry out of shame?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Ji is worried that Lord Guanghae will imprison or even kill us if he doesn't do anything?"
Seeing Zhang Yuan's teasing intentions, Ruan Dacheng's face heated up and he said, "I'm sorry that Mr. Guanghai doesn't have the guts -"
Suddenly, a guard in Jinyi came in and said, "Master Zhang, the blind man Jin Chushi wants to see you?"
Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "Jin Shiyi, you came just in time." He came out of the hall to greet him.
Jin Chushi came in with a bang of his bamboo stick on the ground. He had just met Ayang Jun Li Zhu. He was very happy to know that Nalan Bakshi had been captured. He talked secretly with Zhang Yuan for a long time, then went to see Princess Zhenming, and then
Together with Princess Jeongmyeong and Gu Heishan, they came to bid farewell to Zhang Yuan and prepare to enter Seoul quietly.
Zhang Yuandao: "Don't fight for this moment. It won't be too late for me to enter the city after I have met Lord Anping."
Knowing that the success lies in this one move, Jin Chushi nodded and said: "The common people will accompany you, sir."
At Zhengchen, Lord Lingyang Li Zhu, Li Cao's judge Zheng Renhong, and counselor Yu Yan came to the reception hall and said that His Highness Lord Anping had left Gyeongbokgung Palace and invited Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng to prepare to meet.
Zheng Renhong glanced at Princess Zhenming in a hat and white shirt next to Zhang Yuan, and felt that she looked familiar. He asked Yu Yan quietly, and Yu Yan said: "This is the female disciple of the Golden Virgin Master. She is deaf and mute. She has obtained the true biography of the Golden Virgin Master and is quite skilled."
My medical skills have been with Mr. Zhang since Pyongyang."
Zheng Renhong thought: "Why does this mute woman show hatred when she sees me?"
Princess Jeongmyeong noticed that Jung Inhong was paying attention to her, and she quickly lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips hurting her palms but she could not dispel the resentment in her heart. Three years ago, it was Jung Inhong who entered the palace with the order of Lord Gwanghae.
She blamed her mother, Princess Renmu, for throwing herself on her mother to cover her. Zheng Renhong kicked her aside and she fainted. From then on, she became unable to speak——
Zhang Yuan also saw that Princess Zhenming had a different look on her face, and had no time to ask at this time. He asked Li Zhu: "Your Highness, are you ready?"
Li Zhu bowed and said: "We are all ready. Please ask the two angels to go out and board the car."
Zheng Renhong was suspicious and displeased. Zhang Yuan was already walking out of the gate surrounded by people. Zheng Renhong saw a blind man following Zhang Yuan with a bamboo stick to explore the way. He recognized that this was the Golden Priest and knew that the Golden Priest was retired.
The distant relative of Princess Inmu was suddenly startled. Remembering the rumors that Princess Jeongmyeong died of a sudden illness three years ago, she quickly chased after Kim Choushi and whispered: "Kim Choushi, are you okay?"
The golden virgin couldn't see, but his hearing was extremely sharp. He immediately recognized that it was Zheng Renhong's voice. He turned around and held his staff in his hand: "Thank you for your help. Zheng Benshu asked. The common people have a low life and are still alive."
When Zheng Renhong saw the beautiful mute girl next to Jin Virgin, he also stopped and stared at him coldly with her clear eyes. Zheng Renhong was close at hand and examined the mute girl's expression, because he had already made a guess, and now he took a closer look.
, this mute girl looks like the shadow of Princess Inmu, it is really shocking, Zheng Renhong's heart is shocked, thinking of Zhang Yuan's suspicious deeds such as saving the dancer Gu Heishan and dating the golden virgin, Zheng Renhong's body trembles slightly, he realizes that Zhang Yuan
Collusion with Fei Fei’s party is very likely to be detrimental to Gwanghae-kun——
When Zheng Renhong was talking to Jin Chushi, Zhang Yuan slowed down and looked back. At this moment, Zhang Yuan's vigilance was tight. With just one glance, he could see the suspicion and subsequent shock in Zheng Renhong's eyes. Could it be that
Did Zheng Inhong recognize Princess Jeongmyeong?
If Zheng Renhong starts shouting at this time, it will be difficult for Ayang Jun Li Zhu to lead a thousand troops from Pingshan Protectorate into Seoul to bring order to the chaos. Korea will most likely fall into civil war——
Making a decisive decision, Zhang Yuan rushed forward and grabbed Zheng Renhong's armpit, pinched Zheng Renhong hard with his ten fingers, and said loudly: "No, Zheng Banshu has a sudden illness. Jin Chushi, come and treat Zheng Renhong quickly."
Zheng Renhong was sixty years old, thin and shriveled. Zhang Yuan pinched his armpits so hard that he screamed in pain. Zhang Yuan stretched out his leg and tripped Zheng Renhong, and knocked Zheng Renhong to the ground. Wang Zongyue on the side saw something fishy and came over and stretched out his hand towards Zheng Renhong.
After pressing the chest, Zheng Renhong suddenly felt short of breath and gasping for breath, unable to speak. Princess Zhenming quickly pulled out a four-inch long silver needle and pierced Zheng Renhong's chest. Zheng Renhong's tongue was stiff and speechless——
At this time, Master Jin also understood what was going on. He knelt down and said, "Let me diagnose and treat Zheng Panshu."
Zheng Renhong, the dignified left councilor of the North Korean parliamentary government, fell into a coma under the torment of Zhang Yuan, Wang Zongyue, Princess Jeongmyeong, and Kim. Because things happened in a hurry, most people didn't see what was going on at all. They only saw Jin.
When the virgins checked Zheng Renhong's pulse when he fell to the ground, they thought it was Zheng Renhong's sudden illness.
Lord Lingyang Li Zhu came over to look at Zheng Renhong, frowned and said: "Zheng Banshu may have had a stroke." To Zhang Yuan, Ruan Dacheng said: "Two angels, Zheng Banshu has his own medical officer to treat him, and His Highness Lord Anping is about to leave the city.
, don’t delay any more, let’s set off now.” As he spoke, he carefully observed the expressions of Liu Xiya, Yu Yan and other North Korean officials. If there was any abnormality, he would order Li Gui’s sergeants to capture it.
It's time, of course, and it would be better if it could be postponed for a while.
Liu Xiya, Yu Yan and others did not become suspicious. They all rushed to greet Lord Anping. They followed Zhang Yuan out of the reception hall, riding horses, riding cars, or walking to Xingren Gate eight miles away.
After walking for three or four miles, he heard the sound of drum music in the distance. Zhang Yuan was riding on a maroon horse. He took out his white copper telescope and looked around. He saw groups of banners and honor guards coming out of Xingren Gate, colorful booths, and incense pavilions.
Anpingjun Li Qi is about to leave the city.
Zhang Yuan looked back and saw that Li Gui's thousand sergeants in the Pingshan Protectorate had already been divided into two. Under the leadership of Li Gui, 600 sergeants went around to Beiyimen. They would break into Seoul from Beiyimen and go straight to Jingfu.
The palace captured Lord Gwanghae, and the remaining four hundred sergeants were led by Li Zhu into the city through Xingren Gate. In the city, there were already manpower arranged by Li Zhu to support them——
Lord Anping's drumming and ceremonial procession gradually progressed, and the Ming Dynasty envoys also quickly came forward. Zhang Yuan and Lord Lingyang Li Shu rode their horses in front. They saw a gorgeous carriage stop ten feet away from the opposite side, and a handsome young man got out, wearing a Yishan crown.
Wearing a green forged python robe, he was greeted by Zhang Yuan, accompanied by General Liu Dongming of the Imperial Guard.
Li Zhu nodded to Zhang Yuan, indicating that the young man was Anping Lord Li Qi. The two also dismounted and walked towards Anping Lord Li Qi and Liu Dongming. The drum music suddenly stopped, and Li Qi had bowed and saluted loudly.
Said: "Li Qi, the last minister of the small country, respectfully welcomes the angel."
When Zhang Yuan and Li Jin were meeting, Li Zhu said to Liu Dongming: "General Liu, the two angels are impressed by the fact that our king Yicheng is welcome in the suburbs of Anping. They are willing to come to the city and stay in the Muhua Pavilion to hold the canonization ceremony on a certain day."
Liu Dongming was overjoyed when he heard this and stepped forward to thank Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng. He said that it was difficult to prepare etiquette in the suburbs and invited the angels to come into the city and stay at the Muhua Pavilion. Zhang Yuan was a little reserved and agreed to go into the city.
Zhang Yuan and his entourage successfully entered Xingren Gate, and the 400 soldiers from Pingshan Protectorate also entered the city and headed to Muhua Hall. Liu Xiya finally noticed that the situation was different. There was a group of soldiers who kept him, Yu Yan and others with the Ming Dynasty.
The envoys blocked him, and he wanted to ride his horse over to have a word with his brother Liu Dongming, but the sergeants refused to give way. Liu Xiya whipped and scolded him, but the sergeants just ignored him.
Liu Dongming, who was accompanying Zhang Yuan, also saw that something was wrong, and said loudly to the sergeants of the Pingshan Protectorate: "The angel has arrived in Wangjing safely, and is protected by the Imperial Guards. You can exit the city as quickly as possible - Protector Li."
Where is he? Where is Li Duhu?"
Liu Dongming did not see Pingshan Jiedushi Li Gui, and was about to ask Lingyang Lord Li Zhu when Li Zhu suddenly shouted: "Capture all the rebels."
The Pingshan Protectorate sergeant who had been preparing for a long time unsheathed his sword, and in a moment he controlled Anping Lord Li Qi, Liu Dongming, Liu Xiya and several generals of the Imperial Guard. However, the accompanying Imperial Guards did not know what was going on and did not dare to do so for a moment.
Fight forward——
Fifteen-year-old Anpingjun Li Qi was so shocked that his face turned pale and he could not say a word.
Liu Dongming had his hands tied behind his back and shouted angrily: "Li Zhu, you dare to rebel!"
Lord Lingyang Li Zhu took out a piece of yellow silk from his arms and said loudly to the imperial guards and the people watching on both sides of the street: "The Imperial Concubine Renmu has issued an edict to China and foreign countries——"
The crowd first burst out with a "boom", and soon became quiet, listening to Li Zhu read out the decree of Princess Renmu loudly:
"I have served the Heavenly Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and my righteousness is like a monarch and my ministers, and my kindness is like that of a father and son. The kindness of Renchen will never be forgotten. The king has been in the emperor for forty years, and he has done great things sincerely. In his life, he has never sat with his back to the west. Guanghai is ungrateful.
He betrayed his moral integrity, showed no fear of destiny, had double-minded intentions, and lost money to the slaves. When the envoy from the Heavenly Dynasty came from far away, he secretly met with the slave envoy Nalan Erdeni at the Hanjiang Tower to plot against the Heavenly Dynasty. The loyal minister Li Yuanyi
, Shen Shimin came to remonstrate, but did not want to repent but went to jail to question the crime, and even bribed the angel with a lot of money to ask for canonization, so that we, a country of courtesy and justice in the Three Koreas, would not be immune to the ridicule of barbarians and beasts. I was heartbroken and heartbroken, Hu Kesheng said. I have destroyed the laws of nature and ruined human relations, so I have offended you.
In the Zongshe, the descendants have grudged against all the surnames, and the sins are so great. How can they, the people of the monarchy and the country, occupy the heavenly position of the ancestors and serve the gods of the Zongshe? This is to abolish it and make it suitable for living."
In the past few days, there have been rumors in Seoul about Gwanghae's interactions with the slave chieftains of Jianju. The officials and people of North Korea respected Zhou Zongming deeply, and they felt very embarrassed that Gwanghae had lost his money to the slave chief. Gwanghae's reputation was very bad because he deposed his mother and killed his younger brother.
When they saw Lord Ayang Lee Joo read out the edict of Princess Inmu to depose Lord Gwanghae from the throne, everyone was just shocked, but they did not expect that this was rebellion——
Of course, in the eyes of Lord Anping and the Liu brothers, this was treason and rebellion. Liu Dongming was tied up behind his back and he was still shouting at the cowering Imperial Guards to protect Lord Qin.
To correct the chaos, we will only abolish the throne of Gwanghae, investigate the crimes of Liu Dongming, Liu Xiya, Zheng Renhong, and Li Erzhan, and grant amnesty to the rest without condemnation. The angels of the heavens have testified, and there is no falsehood."
Lord Anping, Liu Dongming, and Liu Xiya have all fallen into the hands of Li Yan, so how could those imperial guards dare to step forward?
At this time, thick smoke rose in the direction of Gyeongbokgung Palace. This was Li Gui's signal that they had entered Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Li Zhu was overjoyed and said to the palace guards: "Guanghai has been captured without any help. If you still dare to resist, quickly abandon your weapons!"
One person dropped his sword, and then the second one. Soon, all the 500 imperial guards brought by Liu Dongming were disarmed. Li Zhu led his people to Gyeongbokgung Palace, but Zhang Yuan and the envoys went to visit the palace.
In Hua Guan, Zhang Yuan told Ruan Dacheng that this was an internal affair of North Korea and it was inconvenient for Ming envoys to participate.
Ruan Dacheng Weiwei certainly knew what was going on.
