The Kingdom of Goryeo is located in the northeast of the Ming Empire and borders Liaodong. It is one of the many vassal states of the Ming Empire.
In the 20th year of Wanli, Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Japan sent an army of 160,000 troops to invade Goryeo, and captured Hanyang, the capital of Goryeo, in one month. Goryeo King Li Huo fled to the Yalu River in the Ming Dynasty under the desperate protection of the navy general Yi Sunchen.
Li Fang felt ashamed to be the king of the country's subjugation and fell headlong into the Yalu River, hoping to die. Fortunately, the river was not in a hurry and Yi Sun-shin was able to rescue him in time, so Li Fang managed to save his life.
Li Fang cried and complained to Li Sunchen: "My dear, why did you save me? Now that the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, how can I still live in this world? It is better to die happily than to be embarrassed."
Li Sunchen said: "Your Majesty, you can't. We can leave the green mountains without worrying about firewood. Although the land is currently occupied by Japanese pirates, we can still ask for help from the country of our parents. We are the vassal of the Ming Dynasty. How can they just sit idly by and ignore it?" ?”
Li Huan said with a sad face: "It costs thousands of gold to raise an army every day, and it costs money to fight. Zhu Yijun is famous for being an iron rooster who never plucks a hair. How can he help us?"
Yi Sun-shin said: "We haven't tried it yet, how do we know it won't work? First send an envoy to ask, what if it works?"
Li He thought to himself: "Just give it a try. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late for me to die. If it succeeds and I regain the country, I will not only be worthy of my ancestors, but I can also continue to be a king. Wouldn't it be great?"
The Korean envoy came to Beijing and handed Li Huo's letter for help. Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun rarely went to court. He had a quarrel with the Queen Mother. He wanted to make the third prince born to Concubine Zheng the crown prince, but the Queen Mother refused and insisted that he follow it. The ancestral system established the eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince. He did not want to, so he did not go to court and did not manage politics.
When Emperor Wanli learned that the Japanese invaders had invaded Goryeo, he made an exception and went to the court to govern the country. Wanli asked everyone to discuss whether he should take care of this matter or not.
At that time, Zhu Changluo had not yet been registered as the crown prince, and the group of courtiers headed by Jin Yiwei supported by the two empresses had not yet been called princelings, but were called Houdang at that time.
The latter party advocated war, and the Zheng party advocated peace. The ministers of the two parties were so quarreling that they almost drew their swords at each other and fought to the death.
Finally, Emperor Wanli slammed the table and shouted: "Stop arguing, listen to me, this matter has to be taken care of. The Japanese pirates occupied Korea today, and tomorrow they will peep at the Ming Dynasty. These grandsons have been restless since the Jiajing period, I It seems that they just deserve a beating. Not only will they be beaten this time, but they will also be beaten hard by me. I have to beat them into submission."
So the Ming army aided Gao to fight, and suffered a few defeats at first. Later, the famous general Li Rusong was appointed to command the battle, and he won many battles.
The Japanese pirates were frustrated and forced to negotiate peace with the Ming Empire.
Li Rusong reported that there was no need to negotiate for peace, and that this time he had to attack the Japanese pirates' hometown. Emperor Wanli thought to himself: "You feel good about fighting, but do you know how much money I spent? If I continue to fight, the treasury will be empty, and I have to pay for it." Is the vassal country going bankrupt? Forget it, let’s make peace with us if we can.”
So the two sides negotiated a peace.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, in the 25th year of Wanli, the Japanese pirates broke their alliance and invaded Goryeo again.
Emperor Wanli couldn't bear it anymore and sent troops to aid Goryeo again. However, thinking about the huge military expenditures, he was frowning all day long. At this time, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Luo Sigong, reported to him that the Jinyi Guards would organize a secret beheading operation, and the target was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the White Guard of Japan. , as the saying goes, to shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief, capture the king first. As long as Toyotomi Hideyoshi is killed, the Japanese will be leaderless and their troops will retreat.
Emperor Wanli was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.
So the three heroes of the Jin Yiwei in the past reunited, and they were Master Pudu, the Iron Arhat of the Shaolin Temple. At that time, Pudu had not yet become the leader, and had not yet mastered the Golden Bell Mask magic technique. He only knew the Iron Cloth Shirt magic technique, so he was still called the Iron Arhat.
The other two are the top disciple of Wudang Sect, the red-haired dragon god Wu Kunshan and the magic sword general Mou Ying.
The three heroes of the Kinyiwei secretly traveled eastward to Japan, sneaked into Fushimi Castle, and started a bloody battle with the Toyotomi Four Heavenly Kings and Toyotomi Hideyoshi himself at the castle tower. After hearing the news, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troops came to rescue them, but the three heroes of the Kinyiwei were outnumbered and were forced to
retreat.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was seriously injured and died of his injuries a few months later.
After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Japanese hero Tokugawa Ieyasu, known as the tortoise, began to seek the world, and civil war broke out again in Japan. When the Japanese pirates saw a fire in the backyard, they were forced to withdraw from Goryeo.
Most people in Korea are grateful to the Ming Dynasty. Without the Ming Dynasty, they would have become slaves. But there are also a very small number of people who hate the Ming Dynasty. These people think that Japan is good, but the Ming Dynasty makes them unable to become Japanese people, so they hate the Ming Dynasty.
On this day, Mou Rongtian and Shi Yi came to Hanyang, the capital of Korea. They went to the Taiyuan Hospital to find Pang Yuchun. They didn't know anything about it, but they were shocked when they asked. It turned out that Pang Yuchun had become the most wanted criminal in Korea, and the government was making plans everywhere.
Catch him.
Mou Rongtian secretly complained about Luo Yangxing, thinking: "How can you be the king of news? Why can't you get any news?"
Jinyiwei has secret contact points in major cities in Goryeo, responsible for collecting intelligence. These Jinyiwei spies stationed in Goryeo spend a lot of money from the court, but do not do anything serious. They only know how to eat, drink, whore, gamble and have fun all day long. Therefore, Luo Yangxing
No news was received.
Mou Rongtian thought: "Since we are here, it is not appropriate to go back like this. We must find Pang Yuchun and bring him back to the Ming Dynasty."
Mou Rongtian and Shi Yi came to Xichun Tower in the south of the city, which was the secret contact point of Jin Yiwei in Hanyang City.
They were dressed in casual clothes, like businessmen. Mou Rongtian's tiger-head embroidered spring knife was too eye-catching, and he was afraid of arousing suspicion and did not want Dongchang's spies to smell it, so he rolled the tiger-head knife into a long strip of gray cloth and wrapped it behind his back.
Shi Yi's small sword and dart pouch were not eye-catching, so they were slung around his waist.
When the waiter saw them coming, he greeted them: "Guests, please come in."
Mou Rongtian asked in Korean: "Is there a private room? Open a private room."
The waiter said: "There is an additional charge for the private room."
Mou Rongtian said: "Okay."
So the store clerk took Mou Rongtian and Shi Yi to a private room on the second floor.
Mou Rongtian can speak Korean quite well. He can not only speak Korean, but also Japanese, Mongolian and Jurchen.
As the detectives of Beizhen Fusi, they are required to be versatile. They have a lot of training, including martial arts, painting, language, etc. Except for martial arts, there are no hard and fast rules for other aspects. If you are willing to learn, it doesn't matter. If you are not willing to learn, it doesn't matter. There will be no assessment.
.
Mou Rongtian felt that having too many arts was not a burden, and he could learn as much as he could. Shi Yi was not able to do that. He could only eat Korean after he learned it, and then excreted it with the waste in his body, leaving basically nothing left.
Fortunately, there is Mou Rongtian, so Shi Yi doesn't need to worry.
After entering the box, Mou Rongtian said: "Call your boss here, I have something to say."
The big shopkeeper here is called Cheng Da, who is the person in charge of Jinyiwei's Goryeo intelligence network and has the rank of 100 households.
The guest said: "The boss is not here. If you have anything to say, please tell me. I can convey it to you."
Mou Rongtian asked: "When will your boss come back?"
The waiter said, "It's hard to say."
Mou Rongtian asked: "Where have you gone? Do you know?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Where is the big shopkeeper going? How could the younger one know? The younger one doesn't dare to ask."
Mou Rongtian said: "Is the second shopkeeper here? You can also find him."
The waiter said: "What a coincidence, the second shopkeeper and the first shopkeeper went out together. Sir, if you have anything to do, just tell the young one. He will definitely bring him here."
Mou Rongtian didn't know if this shopkeeper was a Jinyiwei? So he whispered to them: "I'm from the west. This year my hometown has a good harvest of cabbage. I want to ask if you want some cabbage?"
The waiter looked at Mou Rongtian and said, "How many pounds does your guest weigh?"
Mou Rongtian said: "Fifty-seven hundred catties."
The shopkeeper asked: "How much do you want to sell it for a pound?"
Mou Rongtian said: "Just go with the flow, it doesn't matter if you are short of five or two cents."
The waiter said: "The store needs cabbage, but we can only get 2,538 kilograms. What's the price..." He paused here.
In fact, this shopkeeper is an espionage officer of Jin Yiwei. He has not used the secret code for a long time. He said half of it and couldn't remember the rest at the moment. You can't talk nonsense about the price, otherwise it won't be right.
Mou Rongtian looked at the waiter and asked, "What's the price?"
The waiter scratched his head anxiously and thought about it for a while, but he couldn't remember it, so he turned around and closed the door of the box, and directly pointed it out to Mou Rongtian and said: "Young Lieutenant Yu Dong of the Jinyiwei Intelligence Division stationed in Hanyang City, Korea has met
I don’t know how to call this sir?”
Mou Rongtian was furious and thought to himself: "What the hell are these things? Why can't they even match the code words? What are you doing for food? It really doesn't make sense." He glared at Yu Dong, suppressed his anger and said: "I am the Fu of Beizhen.
Detective Qianhu Mou Rongtian."
Upon hearing this, Yu Dong hurriedly saluted and said, "It turns out that Mr. Qianhu has arrived. Young Yu Dong has met Mr. Qianhu."
Mou Rongtian said: "Why do you salute without looking at your waistband? Who trained you? This is simply unreasonable."
Only then did Yu Dong remember that he had forgotten to ask Mou Rongtian for his waist badge. Mou Rongtian took out his waist badge, flashed it in front of him, then sat on a chair and asked, "Where did Cheng Da and Wang Yue go?"
Yu Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "Young man, I really don't know."
Mou Rongtian stared at him and asked, "Do you really not know, or do you dare not say it?"
Yu Dong said: "I really don't know."
Mou Rongtian said: "Okay, we'll wait here."
Yu Dong said: "You two adults must be hungry. Just tell me what you want to eat. You two adults will wait while you eat."
Mou Rong added: "Four dishes, one soup, and a dozen steamed buns. Don't make it too extravagant, keep it simple."
Yu Dong said: "I'll make arrangements now, little one." After saying that, he withdrew. He went downstairs and called another shop assistant, Zhou Quan, and whispered a few words, and Zhou Quan hurriedly walked out.
Yu Dong went to the kitchen to finish arranging things. He took the teapot and wanted to go to the private room to add water to Mou Rong. When he opened the door, he saw that the private room was empty. Mou Rongtian and Shi Yi were gone.
