Cui Mingguo finally got his wish and commanded the country's most valiant soldiers. Both his grandfather and father had commanded the national army. Only he was almost forty now. He thought he would never have a chance in this life, but this time the war between North Korea and the Jurchens in the north gave
gave him a chance.
In any case, Cui Mingguo has no regrets. As a member of a family of military commanders, he understands the truth that if there is no war, military commanders will not be able to succeed.
The military power of North Korea is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty on weekdays, and is not in the hands of military generals. North Koreans have never lacked careerists. They have been in every dynasty. The Cui family has assisted the North Korean emperor for three generations. In terms of seniority, they are among the best in both the government and the public.
There has been no war in the past few decades. The Cui family's influence in the court has been slowly reduced due to the deliberate restraint of the royal family. The Cui family's military exploits in the past have also been slowly forgotten by people. Time is enough for all the dazzling honors to fade.
However, God has indeed treated the Cui family well, and the opportunity has come.
The whole nation of North Korea raised an army and assembled 80,000 people, including 20,000 elite infantry and 10,000 elite cavalry. These soldiers spent a lot of money on food and clothing every day, and the Cui family benefited from them every time.
Corruption has a long history in the Korean military, and there are many collusions between the ministers in the DPRK and China. The royal family has nothing to do about this situation. It is not that they are incompetent, but that these aristocratic families occupy most of the say in this country, and the royal family also
We must rely on them, otherwise, where would the food and grass come from to support an 80,000-strong army?
North Korea is experiencing a severe drought this year, with grain production severely reduced and people dying of hunger everywhere in the country. Under such circumstances, North Korea can only launch aggression and plunder to alleviate its domestic predicament.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea has existed as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. It has the right to appoint ministers within the territory. Although it pays tribute, it has actually been ceded. When the emperor ascends the throne, he will submit a document to the Ming Dynasty.
This statement means that Ming Dynasty will not interfere in other matters.
In the early days, there were still Jin Yiwei to monitor the state affairs of Korea. Since the Ming Dynasty, the emperors and national power have been declining from generation to generation. Therefore, in the past few decades, Korea has actually become independent, although it still retains the name of the Ming Dynasty vassal state.
name.
Judging from the measures taken by the Ming Dynasty to move Jurchens to block the way for North Koreans to go north, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty and North Korea have been fighting openly and covertly for many years.
This year, North Korea was hit by a severe drought, and the King of North Korea, Lee, did not want to show off his face publicly. He just handed over the army to the leadership of Cui Mingguo, pretending to be a rioter and a disaster victim, and went north to grab food, without bringing any flags.
As a ruler, what you are most worried about and nervous about is naturally your own status.
In the face of such a severe drought, North Korea's national strength will simply not be able to support it. When the disaster becomes more severe, once the people are instigated by people with malicious intentions to rebel, the Lee family may not be able to maintain its empire.
Therefore, it is also a compromise to send the country's young men and women into the war, using the millstone of war to consume some of the population burden.
Therefore, Cui Ming's army also included grain inspectors and military advisors appointed by the emperor.
The grain inspector controlled grain and grass, and the military advisor and counselor supervised military affairs. How could Cui Mingguo not understand the emperor's thoughts, but he was not worried.
War is always accompanied by political compromise. Today someone handed him a letter. It was a Jurchen military strategy map. Before the two sides fight, they must first clear out some forces in the army. Sometimes these forces themselves
If it is inconvenient for one party to take action, then it should use the other party's hands to deal with it. This has been a rule in the history of war.
With a stroke of his pen, Cui Mingguo wrote back a letter to the other party. The content was naturally the same, with the intention of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
In battle, these unstable factors must be cleared away before the enemy and we can fight with real swords and guns.
Of course, at this time, you can also use the trick to attack the opponent immediately. As long as you can succeed, the result will be the same. In a plan like this, neither side has any sincerity at all. It all depends on their own methods. Who is more skilled and who is smarter?
.
Gao Ming was mixed in the Jurchen cavalry camp. He had a separate tent with a space of three feet wide and six feet long. As Batulu in Tulum City, how could his treatment be so bad?
After Gao Ming arrived, Bukulu assigned him three personal maids to take care of his food and daily life, and two male servants to take care of other affairs. Gao Ming naturally understood that this was surveillance in disguise.
However, how can this barbarian land understand our methods? Gao Ming just threw a few life and death talismans, and these five servants became his people.
Gao Ming learned that there were not only Jurchens in the army, but also slave armies composed of a hodgepodge of Han and Hu people, commonly known as "cannon fodder." Every time there was a war, slave armies were weapons often used by Jurchens. These people
It would be too much to keep as a slave, and it would be a waste of food.
Therefore, every time they fight, they will bring some with them. These people have no weapons in their hands and no armor on their bodies. If they go to the battlefield, they will have a narrow escape.
Gao Ming is not the savior. There are thousands of slave soldiers in front of him, including many Han people. How many can he save by himself?
Gao Ming only tried his best to accept the two children as registered disciples.
Tang Xiaobai, whose parents both died, is 10 years old. Xia Ziyang lives in Shandong. When he was doing business in Liaodong, he was kidnapped by the barbarians. He is 12 years old and has been educated for 6 years.
Although Tang Xiaobai was two years younger than Xia Ziyang, he was the first to get started. Gao Ming was attracted by his simplicity and calmness.
Children who have gone through great changes often mature earlier than other children. On the one hand, early maturity is a good thing in this era, but it is too cruel for this child.
Xia Ziyang was young, but he was full of knowledge. Gao Ming discussed with him and many of his insights made Gao Ming nod and praise him. Originally, Xia Ziyang's family wanted to train him to be a civil servant, but they didn't expect to be kidnapped by barbarians.
This Xia Ziyang actually existed in history. He was a Juren in the 17th year of Wanli. He was indeed kidnapped by the barbarians. He later narrowly escaped death and escaped with good luck.
Gao Ming has a disciple, and the identity of the two disciples has been recognized in the system.
I don't care much about the other attributes. The martial arts qualifications of these two people are rare and top-notch. In Huashan, only Linghu Chong and himself can achieve it.
Many times, those who are able to get the opportunity to practice martial arts are not necessarily very suitable. When people accept apprentices, they often rely on luck. When they meet, they are destined. Like Gao Ming, who has a systematic approach to him, and through skill detection,
You can directly see the basic attributes of people, and you can be more targeted in recruiting disciples.
For example, Tang Xiaobai has excellent aptitude and bones. He is a rare martial arts genius in a hundred years, and he is suitable to inherit the mantle of martial arts. Although Xia Ziyang has average bones, he is born with superhuman arm strength and is a divine type. I really don't know what he is.
How can a scholar have such a figure?
Tang Xiaobai is simple-minded yet steady, while Xia Ziyang is extremely smart and can be regarded as a think tank.
In this way, the two men, one in culture and the other in martial arts, complement each other, and there will be successors to Huashan in the future.
Some people say that Gao Ming himself is only 15 years old, how can he accept these two "big disciples"? In fact, after Gao Ming came here, he disguised himself, only glued a beard on his lower jaw, and because of his tall stature, most people still
I really can't tell his true age.
It is precisely because of Gao Ming that the future destiny of these two children has undergone earth-shaking changes.
－－－－－－－－－－I am the long-lost dividing line－－－－－－－－
In the past few days, after several confrontations and tests, both sides have almost figured out their strength and military strength, and the decisive battle will be within these few days.
**Hachi frowned. His great enemy Bukulu, the lord of Tulun City, was still alive and happy. As long as Bukulu didn't die for a day, he would have trouble sleeping and eating.
Although the North Korean troops were more powerful than them, the Jurchens came with elite cavalry. On horseback, Hachi was not afraid of an enemy ten times his own.
There's just one thing that must be done before that.
"Why is this Cui Mingguo so useless? He can't even deal with a thousand people," Ha Chi said through gritted teeth.
"Among Bukulu's subordinates, there are also several Han military officers who give him advice every day. I guess it's because of these people," one of **Hachi's staff said in a deep voice.
"In that case, whoever can eradicate these people for me will be rewarded heavily by me." ** Hachi was anxious.
**Hachi was a general named Dragon and Tiger in the Ming Dynasty. A military officer in the Ming Dynasty was called a general. This was the highest rank, the second rank.
Zhao Bangqing, He Tianlu, Lei Yousheng, and Zhao Shikui are the four elders of the Yizi Huijian Sect. They are standing in the tent at this time. After hearing what Ha Chi said, they looked at each other. After making eye contact, Zhao Bangqing and He Tianlu came out.
Said: "The subordinates share the worries of the adults."
**Ha Chi was very satisfied when he saw that he was an elder of the Huijian Sect. With a kind face, he said: "If you two from your noble sect take action, this matter should be easy."
Without further ado, Zhao Bangqing and He Tianlu immediately started taking action.
Gao Ming taught two new disciples in the tent, starting from the basics of Huashan, how to recognize acupoints, how to cultivate the sense of Qi for the first time, the distribution of meridians, how to deal with various situations during internal strength training, etc. Thanks to him for this aspect
The system comes with its own tutorials, and in some places, he just needs to follow them and read them.
Gao Ming's memory is average. After learning a lot of knowledge, he can no longer remember it clearly. The martial arts system provides better assistance in this regard. Everything Gao Ming has heard is recorded, and you only need to look it up.
Fortunately, by taking the opportunity to teach my disciples, I can also review the past and learn the new.
Time passed slowly. That night, after having a meal, Gao Ming's ears twitched, and a slight strange sound came. Gao Ming immediately jumped out. Bukulu's tent was not far from his. In a few breaths,
, with superb Qinggong, he was close to Bukulu in the blink of an eye.
As the city lord of Bukulu, Gao Ming is definitely not the only one who has the power under his command. Gao Ming has seen two of them, and they are both masters. This is why Gao Ming has never had the opportunity to plant the life and death talisman for Bukulu.
.
Gao Ming came to Bukulu's tent and took stock of the situation between the enemy and ourselves. Two other people were there.
