Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 224

Although the king of North Korea had long followed the will of the Qing emperor, he issued a decree in May of the 16th year of Kangxi (the will of the king of North Korea), prohibiting all activities of Confucianism in North Korea.

But helplessly, the two groups of officials below ignored this teaching order...they turned a blind eye to the "slaying Confucianism" who was wrapped in cloth and had a long sword hanging from his waist.

Moreover, under the pretext of "need to import good iron from the Ming Dynasty to make gun barrels", they started private trade, allowed Ming Dynasty merchant ships to enter the port, and allowed Ming Dynasty merchants to land ashore. They did not stop the activities of Confucian disciples in various parts of Korea , and actively participated in it.

The influence of Confucianism in North Korea is like wildfire starting a prairie fire, which cannot be contained.

A group of Qing knights from Haizhou flew into the gate of Seoul, and galloped through the bustling streets of the city. The bells tied to the horseshoes rang, and the Korean people stumbled around. Dodging, looking extremely embarrassed.

These are all the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty and the Korean Supervisory Government Yamen who traveled between the Qing Concession in Haizhou and Seoul... It is very likely that they came to convey the edict of Kangxi!

Where can the North Korean people provoke them?So the knight who was the first to walk on the horse was of course very proud. Looking at the distressed appearance of the Korean people and the bare-chested dresses of the Korean women, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

When he was looking around, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he saw a group of guys in "Confucius uniforms" coming out of an academy on the side of the street. watching them.

Chuanqi galloped past, and there was no conflict, but the Qing army Chuanqi on the horse also gave the most vicious eyes, and cursed in his heart: "The traitor who killed a thousand swords..."

And the leader of the beheading Confucianists below also cursed in Chinese: "Braid slave, you must die!"

This kind of scene happens every day on the streets of Seoul.Although Daming's army has not yet set foot on North Korea's land, the Confucian disciples have already arrived here first!

And now the Qing Empire is not so easy to deal with. The Qing Dynasty has not yet reached the point where it is rotten to the root. The country has recovered a certain amount of vitality through the New Deal reforms in the past two years... The struggle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, It may explode at any time!

And one thing is for sure, if the dispute between Ming and Qing takes place on the Korean peninsula on a large scale, then the Kingdom of Korea will be over!

The Ming and Qing Dynasties are fighting each other, and North Korea is about to end!

Chapter 519 Daming is Coming, Really Coming!

"Jianguo, the emperor's court post!"

The knight of the Qing Dynasty who came from Haizhou on a flying horse was standing outside a pavilion in the back garden of the Imperial Envoy of the Qing Dynasty.Respectfully handed over a box with a yellow seal.

Hearing the emperor's Tingji, the two people who were playing chess in the pavilion put down their chess pieces at the same time...

One of these two people is an old acquaintance of Zhu and Qi, Deng Guangming, the former deputy commander of the Banner Army of Duke Xushun's mansion!So many things have happened in the past seven or eight years, the sky in Qing Dynasty is about to collapse, but he is fine.

Moreover, because his master, Shang Shuying, had made great contributions in escorting the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty during the "Eight Great Alley Difficulties", and was reused, he actually got mixed up with the high position of the Qing Dynasty's imperial envoy in North Korea.

It's really hard to open your eyes!

The player playing against Deng Guangming was a middle-aged official in his thirties with a white face and a grandma's face. He was the supervisor of the Qing Dynasty in North Korea, and his name was Yu Chenglong.It has the same name and surname as Yu Jackie Chan, the second minister who surrendered to Ming Dynasty in Ningbo, but he will definitely not surrender, because he is a good slave from the Han army of the Qing Dynasty with red flags, and now he has been upgraded to Manchuria with red flags. The Manchurian Heavenly Soldiers.

Deng Guangming smiled and said to Manchu Yu Chenglong: "Rushan, you can read a lot, come and see... just tell me after reading it."

"Hey." Manchu Yu Jackie Chan responded, took Huang Feng's box with both hands, opened it, carefully took out the Kangxi Handbook inside, and then opened it and read it carefully.

Deng Guangming kept looking at him until he closed Kangxi's handbook, and then asked with a smile: "Rushan, what does the emperor want from North Korea this time? Silver? Grain? Ginseng? Fur? Gun barrels? Or... North Korean women? "

Kangxi is ruthless enough to be an imperialist colonist!North Korea is such a poor place, and it was squeezed by him in different ways.

Almost all the money that North Korea finally got through trade with Japan was taken away by Kangxi.As for fur, ginseng, and food, there is no shortage of these!What's more, Emperor Kangda also asked North Korea to pay tribute to women...not for Kangxi to enjoy, but for the old and new Eight Banners soldiers who had no wives in Beijing as wives.

In order to win over the new and old Eight Banners underneath, Emperor Kangxi has been heartbroken for the past two years!

"Neither of them," Yu Chenglong's grandmother frowned, "The emperor said that Puppet Ming may invade North Korea in the near future, let us be more careful, and remind the monarchs and ministers of North Korea to be careful, don't let Puppet Ming take the country away go."

"This matter..." Deng Guangming laughed when he heard this matter, "I have been shouting for more than two years, and I have not seen a fake soldier come over."

"It's different this time," said Yu Chenglong. "Three years ago, Zhu Heqi said that he would not fight for three years and Ping Liao for five years. here we go!"

"That's Pingliao too!" Deng Guangming smiled, "We are in North Korea now."

"The emperor's decree said that recently there have been rumors in Dengzhou, Nanjing, Yangzhou, etc. that false Ming is about to attack North Korea, and will use North Korea as a springboard to attack Liaodong!" Yu Chenglong frowned, "And there are similar rumors here in North Korea... "

"Then there will be no puppet Ming army coming." Deng Guangming smiled and shook his head, "Wars are all about surprise, how can we yell for a long time before the start of the fight? The enemy knows it and is prepared. This battle is not difficult to fight. Yet?"

"Jianguo, it's better to be careful." Yu Chenglong said, "Recently, there have been rumors in Seoul that the puppet Ming army will soon march from the sea to attack North Korea, and they will attack North Korea in Asan, Chungcheong Province. Landed in the Bay. Then marched into Chenghuanyi, Suwon, and went straight to Seoul."

"Is there even a route to enter the army?" Deng Guangming couldn't help laughing, "Is there a lot of troops to send?"

"Yes, yes..." Yu Chenglong said, "The puppet Ming army will send [-] troops, and the general in command will be Su Zhanhai, the general of the Su family. Supervisor, I think you should go to Changdeok Palace to discuss this matter." Let’s talk to the King and Princess Wang of Joseon. This is our duty!”

"Okay!" Deng Guangming nodded and stood up with a smile: "Then let's go! I don't know if I can meet their North Korean Princess Wang this time, she is a pretty beauty, only in her thirties. What a pity to be widowed at the age of 30! Her daughter, Princess Ming An, is not bad either, she is only 13 years old and already..."

"Guardian!"

Deng Guangming glanced at Jackie Chan and said with a smile: "Rushan, the old man is not interested in that little girl, the old man wants to ask the king of North Korea to dedicate his sister to the emperor as his concubine."

……

"Mr. Baihu, I, Emperor Hu De, admire a great Confucian like you the most! I can't lie to anyone! The soldiers of tomorrow are really coming, and they may be on their way now. The leading general Su Zhanshan is still my junior. Well, back then, his father Su Yong and I were studying and studying Chinese together in Chaozhou! Hahaha..."

The person who spoke was a man with a very bold face, with a very neatly trimmed beard and dark skin.I don't know if it's a sunburn the day after tomorrow or it's just natural.

His name is Hu Dedi. He is from Chenghai, Chaozhou. He is in his 40s. His father was a tea merchant and his family had some money, so he also studied when he was young and dreamed of taking the imperial examination.As a result, he encountered the Hao Shangjiu Rebellion and the Chaozhou Massacre. As a result, his family was ruined and he couldn't read books, so he had to go to Nan'ao Island to vote for Zheng Chenggong.Later, he became Chen Yonghua's subordinate again, and kept providing intelligence to the Yanping Palace. Later, Chen Yonghua became the governor of Zhejiang, so he recommended him to Zhu Heqi.

As soon as Zhu Heqi heard that he was Emperor Hu De, he immediately transferred him to the right department of the military division mansion as a senior investigator, and now he even made him the intelligence observation envoy of Ming Dynasty in North Korea, not only in charge of the staff of the military division mansion system. The secret agents are still behind the scenes controlling the activities of the Confucian Chosun Church.

He also developed Yin Kai, one of the leaders of the Korean Southern People's Party, into a Confucian disciple. Now Emperor Hu De is in Yin Kai's private house in Yin Baihu.

The one who was listening to Emperor Hu De was Mr. Yin Kai from North Korea. He was about 60 years old, with a dignified appearance and gentle manners.

He, a Korean Confucian, is of course proficient in Chinese, but Emperor Hu De's accent is too strong, and he still has a bit of trouble listening, but he can still understand it in general.

After he understood, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Because Emperor Hu De told him that the rumors he heard outside recently are all true!

Daming is coming!

And there really came [-] troops!

Just landed at Asan, and after landing, went to Chenghuan, Suwon, and went straight to Seoul, the capital of North Korea.

"Hu Observe," Yin Kai said with a frown, "in the art of war, it is said that soldiers should be used by surprise, when they can be seen as impossible, and if they can't be seen as capable... Isn't it a bit abrupt to release the real news in such a grandiose way?" gone?"

"Mr. Baihu," Emperor Hu De said solemnly, "The King of Ming Dynasty, Jianguo Ming, is a saint. The saints use their troops in an upright manner. What is there to hide? Even if you tell the demons, what can you do? The fifteen thousand heavenly soldiers are the soldiers of North Korea. Can the demons around you deal with it?"

Yin Kai said: "The Qing government can also transfer elite soldiers from the country."

"It's too late!" Emperor Hu De said, "Heavenly soldiers are coming soon... Kangxi has no time to mobilize the soldiers.

If Mr. Baihu still has any worries, then mobilize your disciples and the third-hand army of the training bureau to raise troops in the capital! "

"What?" Yin Kai asked subconsciously, "You want this old man to do something rebellious?"

"Why is it treason?" As he was speaking, Emperor Hu De had already taken out a volume of King Ming's decree, and handed it to Yin Kai with both hands, "Mr. Baihu, North Korea should come down tomorrow, right?"

Yin Kai nodded heavily, "Of course North Korea will come down tomorrow!"

Emperor Hu De said: "In this case, please Mr. Baihu to accept the order...His Royal Highness King Ming ordered you to raise troops in Seoul when the Ming Dynasty soldiers landed on Asan, and rescue the king of North Korea!"

Chapter 520 Da Ming will go to the ground, the unlucky king of North Korea!

Changdeok Palace, where the King of Joseon lives, is really a very unlucky palace!

This was originally the palace of the Korean king, also known as Dongque.During the Imjin Japanese Invasion, it was burned together with Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace of the Joseon king, and Changgyeonggung Palace, another palace.

After Joseon King Xuanzu Li Yan came back, of course he had no money to repair the house... So he saved money for more than ten years, and it was not until his son Guanghai Jun Li Hun came to the throne in Wanli 37 that he had the strength to rebuild Changdeok Palace.But not two years after the completion of the repair, I met Injo anyway... It was actually a coup, but when the coup was not careful, Changdeok Palace was burned down again.

Later, it was not until the 25th year of Injo that the Joseon Kingdom saved money to rebuild Changdeok Palace.

But when the Changdeok Palace was built in the reign of Injo of Joseon, another evil act of burying children's bones under the foundation of the Changdeok Palace took place... It sounds a bit like a ghost story, and the purpose is said to be to curse someone.

So the newly completed house had to dig out the foundation for cleaning. This cleaning took several years and cost a lot of money. When Injo of Joseon moved to Changling of North Korea, the project was not finished.

However, Li Hao, the son of Injo's son Xiaozong, did not live in this new house because of his psychological shadow.

Therefore, the first king of Joseon to live in Changdeokgung Palace is the father of the current king of Joseon, Lee Bong, Chongzong Li Wei...he went blind for a year after living in it!

It is estimated that the money was not spent properly, and the "dirty things" were not cleaned up!

So Li Wei was very unlucky. After being blind, he developed a tumor. It should not be malignant. It dragged on sickly for more than ten years, and collapsed at the age of 34.

Then Li Xuan came to live in this unlucky house... It's not bad, after living in it for a few years, he is not blind or has tumors, and he is still alive for the time being.

It was his kingdom of Korea that seemed to be coming to an end!

Kang Mazi of the Great Qing in the north bullied him all day long, while Zhu Heqi of the Great Ming in the southwest had ulterior motives.

In addition, there are two foreigners in the Netherlands and Spain who want him to agree to a monopoly of free trade all day long, and want him to convert to a religion of worship-can this be changed?Outside Changdeok Palace, there are beating people with sticks and beheading people with big swords everywhere!

Although Li Yun was only 17 years old, he also knew that he was really going to worship God, and he was either beaten to death with a stick, or beheaded by a big sword.

In short, see God right away!

And there are no good people in North Korea. The ruling Nanren Party is so domineering that it doesn't take the monarch seriously.His two cousins, Fu Changjun and Fu Pingjun, once slept two maids in Changdeok Palace, and his mother Wang Dafei Jin ran into him.Kim asked him to severely punish the two, while Yin Kai of the Nanren Party asked him to "take care of my mother"...don't let my mother interfere in politics!

Who is this!

Although Li Yun followed the power of the Qing Dynasty and drove Yin Kai out of power, he immediately joined the Confucianism. With the protection of the Ming Dynasty, neither the Western People's Party in North Korea nor Xu Ji, who was a moderate faction against the Qing Dynasty, dared to What to do with him.

So after being the king of Joseon for a few years, Li Xuan unexpectedly discovered that the force that was most friendly to him was actually the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan...

It's a pity that the Tokugawa shogunate can't help him at all now, he has to rely on his own strength to deal with a group of wolves and tigers inside and outside.

Now the king of North Korea is tremblingly receiving Deng Guangming, the supervisor of the Qing Dynasty, and Yu Chenglong, the supervisor of government affairs, in the Xizheng Hall.

His leader, Xu Ji, stood by and acted as an interpreter, speaking to the two visitors from time to time in Chinese that Li Yun could not understand.

"Your Highness...the two imperial envoys from the Shang Kingdom said that there are currently 5000 Ming army land divisions on dozens of large ships, heading towards North Korea, and will soon land in Asan, and then pass through Chenghuan Station and Suwon Marching troops to Seoul. Don’t worry, Your Majesty, the training for defending Seoul will consist of a total of [-] gunners, killers, and archers, which is enough to defend Seoul. If it doesn’t work, you can retreat to Namhansan Fortress or go to Pyongyang for refuge.

In addition, the imperial envoys of the Qing Dynasty have already sent emergency requests to the middle school.We only need to stick to Seoul, Namhansan City or Pyongyang for a month, and it is enough to wait for reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty.

In short, nothing will go wrong, please rest assured, Your Majesty! "

The one who was patting his chest and talking nonsense was the political leader Xu Ji... Although he was talking nonsense, Li Wei didn't know what to do?If [-] Ming troops really came to North Korea, then the [-] "third-hand troops" trained by the North Korean government would definitely not be able to defeat them.

If the Qing army in Haizhou is also unreliable, and the reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty cannot come for a while, then North Korea will fall under the control of the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xu Ji, and found that the chief executive seemed to have a plan in mind... Could it be that he has secretly joined Daming?

And the Ming Dynasty should be better than the Qing Dynasty for North Korea, right?

At this time, Yu Chenglong said again: "Your Highness, although the rumors may not be true, but if the hypocrites and rebels really come, please also ask the king to evacuate to Haizhou with the officials and the imperial envoy! There are five people in Haizhou. The Thousand Heavens Soldiers and a bastion are enough to guarantee your safety, Your Majesty."

Xu Ji didn't translate the words, he just patted his chest and assured: "Sure, sure, please rest assured, the king will definitely withdraw to Haizhou when the time comes."

"Okay, that's enough!" Deng Guangming smiled, "Let's make a deal!"

……

On the surface of the Yellow Sea to the west of the Korean Peninsula, the color of dusk has enveloped the entire sea. A troop transport fleet composed of hundreds of "Great Eastern" sailboats with almost identical appearances is plowing white waves on the ocean.

And behind the buttocks of these large sailing boats, a "riding and archery boat" is dragged by ropes without exception.

Pieces of white sails were inflated by the west wind, and the setting sun came from the west, reflecting on the ocean surface, sparkling, and between the sea and the sky, it seemed that only these strong ships like city walls were approaching the land of the Korean Peninsula.

On every ship in the fleet, there are flying the flag of the sun and the moon, which symbolizes the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, and the flag of "walking for the sky" symbolizing the Nanyang Trading Company!

After the big battle off the coast of Zhejiang, the entire coast of China, including the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, was dominated by the Ming Navy and the Nanyang Trading Company. Control!

However, neither the Nanyang Company nor the Ming Navy, in the past two or three years, did not go to Nanyang to challenge the sea power of the Westerners, nor did they try to recover the Ming vassal states including the Ryukyu Kingdom.

They seem to be content with control of the seas in East Asia - which means protection money can be collected!

At the same time, it is also committed to using the ever-expanding fleet for maritime trade in Southeast Asia and the East Ocean - mainly peaceful trade.This kind of trade is conducive to the establishment of contacts between Nanyang trading companies and overseas Chinese merchants in Nanyang... Due to the sea ban policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Chaozhou people, Cantonese, Hokkien and Fuzhou Shiyi people who are keen to travel to Nanyang, Both have suffered a heavy blow, internal and external communication is almost interrupted, and it will take some time to restore this contact.

Once this kind of contact is basically restored, the time for Daming to go south will be ripe... because of the leading party!

And before that, Daming must at least make North Korea come to an end!

"North Korea! Jaju, North Korea has arrived!"

Admiral Liu Guoxuan, who was walking on the deck of the flagship Chengtianfu, suddenly heard the shouts of the watchmen on the lookout post.He quickly walked to the bow of the ship, then leaned against the fender, and at the same time took out the binoculars and stuck them on his eyeballs, looking forward.

Soon, Liu Guoxuan found a cluster of swaying flames on the shoreline that appeared in the distance at an unknown time!

It should be that Nei Ying, who had entered North Korea a long time ago, lit a large pile of bonfires to guide the distant Ming warship.

As long as the fleet led by Liu Guoxuan continues sailing towards the fire, it should be able to start landing early tomorrow morning.If there is no accident, by tomorrow night, thousands of people will be on the coast of Asan.The day after tomorrow, the landed army can begin to march towards Seoul.

Chapter 521 Don't run away, my lord, wait for loyalty!

"Da Ming, it is the flag of Daming!"

"Da Ming finally came to save North Korea!"

"Long live Daming! Great Ming wins..."

Those who cheered were the two groups of local scholar-bureaucrats in Asan, North Korea, and a group of ordinary people who were led by them.
