Chapter 280: The Sword Points at Japan (87) and goes with the flow
Not long after Zhang Wanbang's order was issued, a servant came to report that the North Korean leader Li Shanhai had visited. Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanbang smiled and said to his subordinates: "Let me just say, I am definitely not the only one who is worried about this matter...
Oh no, it should be said that there must be someone more anxious than me. Go and ask this...Mr. Goose Xi to come in."
A servant went down to invite Li Shanhai, and a servant beside him asked: "After all, Mr. Exi is the leader of the Korean government. Do you need to change his clothes to join the army?" It turned out that Zhang Wanbang was still wearing military uniform at this time.
"What should I change? Isn't there a possibility of a war at any time? It's good like this." Zhang Wanbang said with a smile: "It's true that he is a civil servant, but he is a civil servant of North Korea, not my Ming Dynasty. He wants to enjoy my change
We will have to wait until North Korea successfully annexes it and becomes the Chief Secretary of North Korea before receiving the favorable treatment."
"Chief Secretary of North Korea?" I wonder if Li Shanhai was particularly anxious. He had arrived at the door so quickly, and after hearing Zhang Wanbang's words, he replied at the door.
Then he saw the North Korean leader Yizheng, who was in his sixties, walking in from the door. He cupped his hands and said, "Li Shanhai has met Zhang Canrong."
Zhang Wanbang then stood up with a smile and returned the salute, extended his hand to point to the guest seat and said: "Mr. Goose Xi is not an outsider, so I won't be polite. Please take a seat."
Li Shanhai really didn't think Zhang Wanbang's move was disrespectful. On the contrary, he was quite happy. He fully agreed with his comment that he was "not an outsider" and sat down with a smile on his face. But then Li Shanhai asked: "Zhang Canrong just now
Speaking of 'Chief Secretary of Korea', do you dare to ask if this is something that His Majesty the Emperor has already decided?"
Zhang Wanbang rolled his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Exi is joking. How can the emperor's holy will be known to me, a mere Fushun guerrilla? It was just a joke. Please don't take it seriously, Mr. Exi."
Regarding Zhang Wanbang's words, Li Shanhai seemed not to have heard them. Instead, he said to himself: "I think there may be something worth debating about the fact that the Eighth Route Army of North Korea is included in the title of Chief Secretary of North Korea."
Zhang Wanbang was startled and asked subconsciously: "How do you say this?"
Li Shanhai frowned, with a cautious look on his face, and replied seriously: "May I ask Shen Rong, after Annan was annexed, what is his status in the Ming Dynasty now? How will the Mo family be settled?"
Now it was Zhang Wanbang's turn to frown, and he mused: "After Annan was annexed, he became the envoy of the capital, and the head of the Mo family successively served as the envoy of the capital. And since the Marquis rescued the Mo family and pacified Zheng Ni, Annan thanked the Celestial Empire for
In addition to reaffirming the previously enclosed clauses for assistance, the post of Deputy Commander-in-Chief has been established and will be appointed by our emperor."
Some things cannot be said too straightforwardly. For example, the so-called pragmatic "save Mo family and pacify Zheng Ni" can only be said like this. As a senior general, Zhang Wanbang naturally knows what the situation is.
- Gao Pragmatic initially mobilized troops under the pretext of Mo's assassination. Even in order to avoid complicating political issues, he still used private soldiers and chieftain soldiers at that time.
After taking down Thang Long and taking control of the Mo Group, Gao Pingshi immediately said that the "Mo assassination" was a mix-up. The real assassin was the Zheng family of the Hou Le Dynasty in the south, so he took the servants of the Mo Dynasty with him.
He went south and defeated the Zheng family, and since then he has recovered the entire Annan.
As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, this matter was naturally a three-step, three-step, interlocking and generous move at that time. It is worthy of a special book and passed down through the ages. However, A's honey and B's arsenic are not as important to the Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, this is shocking bad news for other small neighboring countries.
In fact, there were some discussions about this in North Korea at that time. However, North Korea had been at peace for a long time and was unwilling to think about war. Secondly, North Korea believed that it was very different from Annan - the Annan people had earlier
We have a history of falling in love and killing each other with the Ming Dynasty, but what about North Korea? I am a filial son of the Ming Dynasty. How can I compare with Annan?
Sure enough, when Zhang Wanbang answered like this, Li Shanhai immediately said: "That's it. Annan has always been ranked second to North Korea when the envoys of the vassal states of the Celestial Dynasty met with the emperor. After Annan was included, since the Ming Dynasty could make Mo's family permanent.
The local government is the commander-in-chief, so why is North Korea now worse than Annan?"
Zhang Wanbang thought to himself: What are these Koreans thinking? They have already mixed up to the point where they want to be a son, but they still have to fight for the eldest son and the second son, right? What, even if you are given the status of the eldest son, you still have the status of the eldest son.
If he is not the legitimate son, can he still expect to get the inheritance rights?
Damn it, if you are so proud of yourself, you should make the war more beautiful! Just like you, after receiving so much support from us, you are still being beaten by the Japanese pirates like they are chasing away chickens and dogs.
, why do you have the nerve to say that you should be the eldest son?
Damn it, if the Marquis then conquers the Japanese state, and the Japanese state jumps out and says that he is the best at fighting and should be the eldest son, then will your two families have to fight again for this?
After thinking about it, Zhang Wanbang quickly put the matter aside. He felt that although this matter might be a bit troublesome, no matter how big the trouble is, it will be solved by the Marquis. It really has nothing to do with him, Lao Zhang.
So he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Goose Xi, I, Mr. Zhang, am a military commander. What you are talking about is not something I should worry about. Let's get back to the business... Why are you here?"
Li Shanhai smiled slightly and said: "I heard that Marshal Du led his army back to Hanyang and has now arrived at Luyuan Ridge outside the city. He is asking Your Majesty to see the King and ask the King to disband the army. Is this possible? If so, I dare to ask.
How did Shenrong respond?"
"There is such a thing." Zhang Wanbang said with a carefree look: "However, Zhang's military order does not allow any army other than our Ming army to enter Hanyang, so if he insists on entering the city, there is only one way to choose.
:Siege the city.”
Li Shanhai also didn't expect Zhang Wanbang to be such a bachelor. He was startled for a moment, frowned slightly and said: "Shenrong...that's how you answered?"
"Yeah, that's about it." Zhang Wanbang nodded indifferently, then seemed to remember something, and said: "Oh, by the way, I also said that if he just wanted to go to the city to see the King of Korea, then that would be
It's easy to handle. If you bring ten servants into the city, I can still let him in. After all, he is a servant of the King of Joseon, so I can't stop him, otherwise what will happen?"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Shanhai’s cheek muscles twitched and he thought secretly: Really? Then the army of the King of Joseon cannot enter the King of Joseon, so it won’t be a big deal.
?
Of course, Li Shanhai could only think about this, and he would definitely not say it. After all, the current political attitude of the Northern People's Party is to be familiar with what is clear and to be clear, and you can't sit on your butt crookedly.
"Haha, what Shen Rong said is absolutely true." Li Shanhai agreed casually, then turned around and said immediately: "However, I am afraid that such an answer will hardly satisfy Marshal Du. Shen Rong, the thirty thousand people under Marshal Du's command are
He is currently the last elite of the North Korean official army, and it is precisely because of this that he dared to use the threat of dismissal to force the king after deliberately arousing the indignation of his subordinates."
Zhang Wanbang pursed his lips and said: "I know this, but so what? North Korea only has 30,000 'elites' like him, but our Ming Dynasty has millions of elites. Let's put it this way, even if he is finished in this battle
It won't make any difference if we are all watching from one side. If there are too many people like him, there won't be many people, and if there are too few people like him, there won't be too many people."
Li Shanhai felt that it was difficult for him to communicate with Zhang Wanbang. Is this what I'm talking about now? Don't I know that since the Ming Dynasty has even sent Gao Ge Lao to North Korea, it will definitely be no problem to fight the next war? I said
The thing is that these 30,000 people in the hands of the Southern People's Party are always a threat and need to be dealt with while they can!
Well, it may not be a threat to Ming Dynasty, but at least it is definitely a threat to our Northern Party! With these 30,000 people in the hands of the Southern Party, it is always holding a bargaining chip, and
Now the Northern People’s Party and the Western People’s Party don’t have any troops. Is this fair? This is unfair. It must be corrected, you know!
He wanted to think about it, but he couldn't speak so straightforwardly, so Li Shanhai thought for a while and then said: "What Shen Rong said is certainly reasonable. If he just watched from the side, then of course... it would have no impact.
.But has Shenrong ever thought about what if he refuses to just watch from one side?"
Zhang Wanbang rolled his eyes, raised his chin slightly, finally showed a trace of seriousness, and said slowly: "What's the matter, does he still dare to have evil intentions, or even help the Japanese pirates?"
Even Li Shanhai didn't believe that Quan Li would help the Japanese pirates. It's not that he believed that the Quan family's status in North Korea's Yangban was high enough that he would definitely not become a traitor, but that anyone who was not blind could do anything about the current situation.
It can be seen that the Japanese pirates are no longer like rabbits in Korea. To help the Japanese pirates at this time, wouldn't it be like eating arsenic for an old man - living impatiently?
"I don't think it's necessary to help the Japanese pirates, but there is one thing that we have to guard against." Li Shanhai said with a cautious face: "Do you know that the Korean royal family is currently in Wangjing?"
Of course Zhang Wanbang knew that and what Li Shanhai meant by his words, but he chose not to answer the question. Instead, he said blankly: "This... I've heard about it too, but so what?"
"Looking at the current situation outside the city, the 30,000-strong army has probably been overpowered or bribed by Quan Li through various means. So just imagine, if he really enters Wang Jing and controls the whole city, wouldn't it mean that he controls the Korean royal family?
?" Li Shanhai patted the armrest lightly and said, "Sen Rong must have heard the story about Cao Cao holding the emperor hostage to order the princes? I think Quan Li or someone behind him may have such thoughts at the moment."
Zhang Wanbang looked stunned and said: "I see, I didn't expect this person to be very evil... But Mr. Exi, don't worry, since I don't allow him to enter the city, then this matter will naturally not happen." Zhang Wanbang
In fact, I heard him talk about "someone behind" Quan Li and him, but I just pretended not to know at this time.
Li Shanhai secretly scolded Zhang Wanbang for not following the path, but he couldn't think of anything without Zhang Wanbang's support, so he had to give guidance again: "That's that, but I'm afraid it's not enough to stop there. You think, there is
Such an army with ulterior motives stays outside the city. Although the heavenly soldiers are invincible, there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days, don't you think?"
"Listening to Mr. Exi's words, do you hope that I will send troops to destroy Quan Li's troops?" Zhang Wanbang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a half-smile: "After all, he is the marshal of North Korea, and his troops are all regular.
Serious North Korean officers and soldiers, if I suddenly went out to kill him, people who don’t know would think that our soldiers in North Korea were crazy and killed not only Japanese pirates, but also vassal officials. That would be outrageous. This crime
Can I afford it?"
An old fox like Li Shanhai knew Zhang Wanbang's subtext as soon as he heard this. Simply put, he wanted fame.
The Celestial Kingdom has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and it is important that each master has a reputation. As Zhang Wanbang said, Quan Li is the marshal of your North Korea. In theory, if you want to compare his status in North Korea, at least it is
The votes of the five military governors together hold the same position in the Ming Dynasty.
This is incredible. Ordinarily, even if the imperial government wants to deal with him, not to mention His Majesty the Emperor personally issuing the order, but no matter what, it must be done by an old man in the high cabinet who is also an administrator. How could I, Zhang Wanbang, dare to deal with him so easily just by joining the army?
Woolen cloth!
Therefore, if you want me to take action, you have to give me a name. In other words, you, North Korea, have to ask me for help, so that I, as the general of the superior country's garrison, can take action.
In fact, there is a problem here, that is, Zhang Wanbang only has 6,000 people in his hands, and 2,000 of them are not his subordinates at all, but Mongolians sent by Erdemutu as certificates of surrender. Logically speaking,
It seems that there may be problems with this unified command.
With this small force, it was uncertain whether the command could be used effectively, but Zhang Wanbang actually did not pay attention to the last elite of the 30,000 North Korean officers and soldiers in Luyuan Ridge, and kept talking about "killing them out".
What's even more amazing is that Li Shanhai didn't even have any doubts, as if in his opinion, it was completely natural for him to "kill" 30,000 North Korean troops by 6,000 heavenly soldiers.
Li Shanhai was very happy, and even started to propose exchange conditions: "Shen Rong has considered it, and I deeply agree. I have some ideas about this, but I still need Shen Rong's support."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Goose Xi, you might as well come and listen." Zhang Wanbang nodded.
Li Shanhae said: "I will go to see the king and ask him to give Quan Li a punishment of dismissal from his post pending review for the crime of lax service to his subordinates, and order him to go to Gyeongbokgung Palace in person to apologize. At the same time, there is something very special.
The key point is that this decree cannot be sent to Luyuan Ridge by others, but must be sent by Liu Erjian (characterized by Liu Chenglong) himself!"
Before leaving, Ma Gui had told Zhang Wanbang some general information about the party struggle between the two classes in North Korea, so Zhang Wanbang knew that Li Shanhai and Liu Chenglong were not able to deal with each other.
However, Zhang Wanbang still didn't quite understand Li Shanhai's statement. After listening to what he said, he asked: "Liu Erjian is the leader of the Southern Party. Speaking of which, Quan Li should be regarded as his right-hand man. Mr. Exi If you ask him to go out of the city to deliver this message to Quan Li, aren't you afraid that they will take this opportunity to discuss countermeasures?"
"We just want them to discuss countermeasures." Li Shanhai laughed and said: "What countermeasures do you think they can come up with? As the saying goes, there is no turning back when the bow is fired. The matter has reached this point. No matter how much we discuss, we can only go on with it. .”
"Then this is for you...oh, I mean, if that's the case, then why bother?"
Li Shanhai didn't seem to notice that Zhang Wanbang almost said, "Then what's the benefit to you?" He smiled slightly and said: "Resisting and disobeying orders is a traitor. Quan Li is the same, and Liu Chenglong is the same."
