Time is not affected by anything and passes bit by bit according to its own rules.
Both the Jianlu and Ming armies were making their own plans, trying their best to weaken the other side and seek more benefits for themselves.
The game between the two major forces only suffered for the cowardly North Korea. The people of North Korea either starved to death or fled to areas controlled by the Tenglai Ming Army. The population of North Korea is decreasing at a visible speed. In the vast fields, only
There are only a few farmers working hard, and few shops in the town are open.
North Korean officials could not bear the continued exploitation of the Jianlu, and began to fail to cooperate in various ways, or simply embarked on the same path as the North Korean people.
The current Supreme Emperor of North Korea, Mang Gurtai, had learned a lesson from the previous guerrilla warfare conducted by the Denglai Ming Army and no longer sent his own men to plunder the country.
He only controlled the upper-level officials of North Korea, conveyed the requirements to these officials in North Korea, and asked them to do things. He only ate, drank and had fun in the capital of North Korea, and occasionally went to the royal city to have fun and do as he pleased. It could be said that he lived a life like a fairy.
But today, he went into a rage in his residence. He scolded a man who was ordered to protect the Joseon Palace and beat him with twenty military sticks.
Then Mang Gurtai was fully armored and led his bodyguards directly into the imperial city. No one dared to stop him.
Just when King Li Zhu of North Korea and a group of ministers were discussing sadly how to complete the tasks assigned by Jianlu, Mang Gurtai barged in directly. He walked up to Li Zhu, looked at him angrily, and shouted loudly: "People
Where is it?"
The translator next to Li Zhu was frightened and translated tremblingly, his calves still trembling.
Li Jie was much better than this translator, but he was very surprised: "I wonder who Heshuo Baylor is referring to?"
"Stop pretending, did you hide him, or did you escape from the imperial city?" Mang Gurtai asked angrily.
After he asked, he saw that Li Zhu still had a confused look on his face. In anger, he pulled out his sword with a swish, pointing the blade directly in front of Li Zhu's face. The light of the sword reflected on his face.
It looks particularly dazzling.
Seeing this, the North Korean officials on the side knelt down one after another, begging Mang Gurtai to calm down, to discuss things easily, and not to accidentally hurt their king.
In fact, although Mang Gurtai was reckless, he also knew that he could not kill this cowardly North Korean king. If it were not for this arrangement, his stay in North Korea would not be so smooth.
But the hateful thing is that Li Jie was uncharacteristic and just pretended to be deaf and dumb, and didn't know anything about it, leaving Mang Gurtai helpless.
Finally, Mang Gurtai reluctantly put the sword back into its sheath and ordered fiercely: "Search for me. If you can't find anything in the imperial city, search the whole city. Benbeile doesn't believe it. This man can still fly with wings."
It won’t work.”
He had already ordered the city gate to be closed when he came, so he did not believe that Monkey Sun could escape the palm of Tathagata Buddha.
As soon as Mang Gurtai came out of the palace, some imperial guards escorted some palace maids and chamberlains into the palace. In front of the Korean monarchs and ministers, they beheaded him with a "click". Then he left cleanly, leaving only a group of stunned living people and a group of people.
body on the ground.
King Li Zhu of North Korea stared blankly at the corpses without saying a word. But his ministers began to cry and howl, regretting that they believed that Jianlu would treat them as politely as the original suzerain. It was really tempting the wolf into the house.
The harm is endless!
Several courtiers also saw something from the identities of the beheaded palace maids and chamberlains, and they approached Li Shu and started to mutter.
But Li Zhu ignored them and just murmured to himself: "I am ashamed of my ancestors. I can only hope that he can escape the murderous hands of Jianlu and leave the last glimmer of hope to North Korea."
During the large-scale arrests of Jianlu, the common people of North Korea suffered again. Even North Korean officials did not escape this time. All their residences were searched, and their valuables were looted. There were even many unmarried children.
Pregnant woman.
Different from the dark days in North Korea, the North Korean soldiers and civilians who fled to Phi Island breathed a sigh of relief. Many people expressed their willingness to join the Ming Dynasty and become ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Xiangsheng was not able to refuse. In fact, he wanted these people. Because they could endure the persecution of the Jianlu and eventually fled to Phi Island, all the Korean soldiers and civilians were in their prime. He sent a book of people who were willing to become Ming citizens to Denglai.
In both places, they were either fishing or tending farmland.
Of course, there were also many North Korean soldiers and civilians whose relatives died at the hands of the Jianlu gang, or who died among the Jianlu gang's murderers, and they all asked to join the army to avenge their relatives.
For these people, Lu Xiangsheng also fulfilled their wishes. According to their respective abilities, some were incorporated into the navy, and some were organized into a separate combat force.
That night, Lu Xiangsheng had just returned from the military camp, and he was still very happy. The morale of the army was good, and they all held their breath and wanted to cause trouble for Jianlu.
Those North Korean soldiers are actually not bad, but they were unable to exert their combat effectiveness because they were previously ruled by corrupt bureaucrats and generals. Now they are fighting for their relatives and their homeland. Lu Xiangsheng has every reason to believe that they will
Try your best.
It was quite cool at night on the island, but Lu Xiangsheng was still covered in sweat. He took a shower, and as soon as he sat in the study, a personal guard came in and reported: "Zhongcheng, Mr. Chen led four people to urgently see Zhongcheng.
.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng realized that it was already time to rest at night and he urgently requested to see him. It seemed that there was an urgent military situation. So he quickly ordered an audience.
When Chen Jisheng came to the lobby, Lu Xiangsheng was already waiting there.
"See Zhongcheng. Prince Zhaoxian of Joseon has fled to Pi Island and asked to meet Zhongcheng." Chen Jisheng immediately reported to Lu Xiangsheng with clasped fists.
Lu Xiangsheng was surprised when he heard this, and quickly confirmed: "Who is it, Prince Zhaoxian of North Korea?"
"It was Li Bo, the crown prince of Zhaoxian of Joseon. He was escorted by three ministers, namely, Hong Yihan, the commander of Si Xianfu, Yin Ji, the school director of Hongwenguan, and Wu Daji, the editor. He mixed with other refugees and fled to Pi Dao Cai Liang
Know your identity." Chen Jisheng knew that Lu Xiangsheng could not believe it, so he explained again.
Lu Xiangsheng asked quickly: "Where are the people?"
"Just outside." Chen Jisheng replied.
Lu Xiangsheng quickly ordered: "Please come quickly!"
Previously, Marquis Zhongxing had said that Da Mang Gurtai was not invited by high-level North Korean officials, but he did not expect that a crown prince would be sent to him today. It was really surprising.
Lu Xiangsheng met the Joseon Crown Prince soon, but he did not expect that the information he brought was too important. After careful consideration, he took the Joseon Crown Prince and others to Zhangzi Island overnight to ask for an audience with Marquis Zhongxing.
In the Ming Dynasty, Governor Denglai had jurisdiction over North Korea, but this time the North Korean crown prince's request was too important, and Lu Xiangsheng did not have enough power, so he only had the right to make suggestions.
In fact, Zhong Jinwei did not have the right to deal with the demands of the Joseon Crown Prince. But as the current top leader of the Ming Dynasty in Denglai and the highest-ranking Ming Dynasty official, Lu Xiangsheng had to report to Zhong Jinwei from any angle.
