"On the other side is the motherland. Do you want to go back and have a look?"
"I don't want to think about it. When my father was killed, those relatives and friends in Seoul took over my family's property and house. They regarded my brother and me as a burden and despised us. It's okay not to go back to this desolate place."
On both sides of the Yalu River, boats are constantly passing by, and the spring breeze blows, causing some ripples on the river surface.
Liu Zhaosun felt a chill. He put his arms around Jin Yuji's waist, pointed at the hazy river surface, and comforted her in a low voice:
"You were still young and helpless at that time. Now you are General Anyuan conferred by the Ming Emperor, and you are also the third-grade imperial concubine. No one can bully you anymore."
Jin Yuji knew that the official was going to North Korea to seek revenge on Lord Gwanghae. She couldn't ruin his important event, so she smiled:
"Since the official is going to North Korea to take revenge, I just need to accompany him."
Liu Zhaosun looked at Jin Yuji's frown and couldn't help laughing:
"Kandian has been pacified. What other important matters do I have? This trip to North Korea is just for fun. The biggest thing right now is to marry a certain woman and have children as soon as possible, otherwise Kang Yingqian will rush it again."
Jin Yuji was filled with affection, and two haze rose on her cheeks.
The Waking of Insects in the second year of Taichang is on the sixth day of the second lunar month.
Today, when the Jingzhe House opens for the first time, a sound of thunder calls out the dragon.
Yuan Chonghuan has read Feng Shui and said that on the day of Jingzhe, "Qinglong commands orders" and "Mingde Golden Chamber" occurs.
Simply put, on auspicious days, everything goes well.
"Then Jingzhe will marry General Anyuan."
"this····"
Yuan Chonghuan stopped talking.
Before and after the Waking of Insects, Thunder God often goes out to do business, and thunder is rolling, so it is not suitable for engagements, blind dates, or marriages.
Liu Zhaosun didn't believe in these ghosts and gods at all, so he ignored Yuan Dudu's advice.
He insisted on marrying Jin Yuji on the day of Jingzhe.
~~~~
The merchants were killed, the land taxes were paid, and the abandoned fields were occupied. After a thunderous blow, Kuandian finally returned to peace.
At least, it seems stable on the surface.
It's less than half a month until the Jingzhe.
On the 22nd of the first lunar month, Jin Dajiu came across the river to attend his sister's wedding.
When my uncle came to the camp in the north of the city, Marquis Pingliao was analyzing the rebellion of the southwestern chieftains with Kang Jianjun.
Liu Zhaosun hoped that the southwest war would break out later to give him more time to prepare. Otherwise, the imperial court would mobilize the original army to go south, which would inevitably affect his management of North Korea.
Wu Xiao whispered at the door:
"General Liu, the North Koreans are coming."
Liu Zhaosun knew that Brother Dajiu was coming and hurriedly went out to greet him.
Jin Dajiu's face was full of youth, and it seemed that he was enjoying a happy life in North Korea.
"General Liu, look who I brought here!"
Liu Zhaosun looked up and saw a burly military general standing behind his uncle.
"General Jin?"
"General Yiliu" Jin Yinghe's eyes were slightly red, with his hands clasped in fists, he knelt down in front of Liu Zhaosun:
"Master Liu, the rescue is late, please forgive me!"
Liu Zhaosun quickly helped Jin Yinghe up. General Jin's face was covered with scars, and he looked much worse than a year ago.
That day, Jingan Fort fell. Jin Yinghe led the Korean soldiers to break through to the southeast. On the way, they encountered the main force of Zhengbai Banner and the remaining more than 300 Korean archers were killed.
Jin Yinghe led his remnant troops to flee to Shenyang, but was immediately driven away by Ding Bi. He retreated to Dandong. When he retreated to the Yalu River, only the last seven people were left with him.
Knowing that he was unable to go north to Kaiyuan, he crossed the river and returned to Korea.
As expected, after returning to Pyongyang, Jin Yingha was imprisoned by Lord Gwanghae and awaited execution. His crime was to kill the commander-in-chief.
The soldiers who fled back to North Korea from Kuandian all interceded for the pro-Ming general. Coupled with the many opponents of King Gwanghae in the court, the execution was delayed until the end of last year.
Finally, Ling Yangjun sent someone to switch the package and rescued Jin Yinghe.
After Jin Yinghe was rescued, the bloody battle in Hunhe was over. Later he learned that Xu Xiake had gone to North Korea and finally got in touch with Chao Angel.
"If General Jin comes back to help me, great things will happen!"
In front of Jin Yinghe, Liu Zhaosun did not hide his ambition at all.
Jin Yinghe hated Gwanghaejun deeply. He knew that if no action was taken, North Korea would fall into the hands of this person sooner or later.
So when he heard that Liu Zhaosun was interested in helping Lord Lingyang ascend to power, he immediately supported him.
"General Liu was in Kuandian last year, distributing food and wages to Korean soldiers and sending them across the river to return home. Does General Liu know where these troops are now?" Jin Dajiu asked with his eyes rolling.
"where?"
Liu Zhaosun almost forgot about it.
When Jin Dajiu said this, he finally remembered.
At that time, Liu Zhaosun ordered that each Korean soldier should be given five coins to cross the Yalu River and return home.
At that time, this incident made many Ming soldiers very dissatisfied.
"General Liu!"
The eldest uncle looked excited, and Liu Zhaosun looked at him and looked somewhat similar to Jin Yuji.
"This army is now stationed in Pyongyang and Yiju, which are the gateways for the Ming Dynasty to enter North Korea. They are very grateful to Liu Zongbing for saving his life. They compare Liu Zongbing to Barry. (1) Many soldiers provide food at their homes. Holding your statue. If you lead your troops across the river, no one will stop you."
"My idol? Isn't this officer still alive?"
Liu Zhaosun shook his head blankly, his eyes a little blurry.
Kang Yinggan pulled Ping Liaohou and said in a low voice:
"Mr. Liu, don't worry about this. Now the whole Ming Dynasty is building shrines for your eldest brother, and no one has raised any objections!"
Liu Zhaosun originally gave money to these Korean soldiers out of pity.
These North Korean farmers were inexplicably dragged from their fields to the Sarhu battlefield, following Mr. Liu Qian, and suffered nearly half of their casualties in the first battle.
Liu Zhaosun still felt quite guilty about these Korean soldiers.
Kang Yingqian clapped his hands and laughed, praising:
"The fate of fate is wonderful. Mr. Liu does good deeds and follows the high road. Now even the vassal country of Korea has your people looking after you. This is even better. It will be easier for us to achieve success in Korea!"
In the next few days, Ping Liaohou, Jin Yinghe, Jin Dajiu, Kang Yingqian and others secretly discussed the details of entering North Korea.
Under the command of Lord Ayang, Jin Daegu is ready for a coup. With the support of the Kaiyuan Army, they can take down Lord Gwanghae at any time.
Liu Zhaosun knew that King Guanghae was eventually exiled to Juehua Island and died miserably in extreme poverty.
Now it seems that his ending is worse than in history.
As the wedding approached, Song Yingxing and others who were stationed in Kaiyuan sent Tangma continuously to urge Marquis Pingliao to return as soon as possible. The wedding was approaching, and there were still many things to prepare.
Liu Zhaosun also felt that it was time to return to Kaiyuan.
On the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the second year of Taichang, Marquis Pingliao led Qiao Yiqi, Kang Yingqian and others to return the same way.
Yuan Chonghuan stayed in Kuandian with 800 auxiliary soldiers and 100 combat soldiers.
Next, there are the matters of field allocation and military training.
Just leave the training to the veterans and the general manager.
The enclosure movement had to be carried out by Yuan Chonghuan himself.
Yuan Chonghuan killed people without mercy at all.
His current identity is the Inspector General of Liaodong, and he holds the power of punishment, life and death in Liaodong.
If he catches the traitor, Yuan Ducha can ensure the perfect connection between interrogation, judgment, and execution, and he can kill people more easily.
Use heavy codes in troubled times.
Marquis Ping Liao admired Yuan Ducha very much. He was decisive in his actions and would never be sloppy. He would be as talented as a prime minister or assistant in the future.
On the first day of February, Marquis Pingliao finally returned to Kaiyuan.
Before I could rest, I started to get busy with wedding matters.
Just as Yang Qing'er said, Liu Zhaosun's life is a life of running around.
~~~~
After traveling through time, Liu Zhaosun realized that weddings in the Ming Dynasty were so cumbersome.
But everyone has come here like this, so I can’t seem too different.
Liu Zongbing asked his old friend Kang Yingqian to be his master of ceremonies and teach him all the details that need to be paid attention to when getting married.
"When a common man marries a wife...the son-in-law wears regular clothes, or fake nine-level clothes, and the wife wears flower hairpins and big sleeves."
Kang Yingqian shook his head and memorized for a while. These were all things he had seen in the "Da Ming Huidian".
He moistened his throat and said disdainfully:
"However, Miss Jin is not a mortal. She is General Anyuan bestowed by the emperor. Naturally, she is not comparable to a commoner, so she must be more solemn."
"General Liu, this time you have to ask Supervisor Qiao to borrow money again."
~~~~
In the second year of Taichang, on the sixth day of February, there was a awakening of insects.
Under the guidance of Kang Yingqian, there are six rituals for getting married: accepting gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting invitations, asking for dates, and welcoming in person.
Finally reached the final step.
Xu hour has passed, and the lights of Kaiyuan City are dim, as bright as day.
Note: (1) Bali, the name of an ancient Korean god, is known as the ancestor of Korean witches.
