"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Seoul Camp is urgently reporting to the army!"
When Da Bo Ling's voice came into Zhu Heji's bedroom, King Zhu Daming had already woken up and had just stretched himself, feeling very satisfied. Looking around, there is a petite and exquisite North Korean girl wrapped in a quilt, with her hair scattered and lying on one side. There is a smile on her charming and somewhat coquettish face, giving people the feeling that her evil plot has succeeded.
Of course this girl is not Li Wenji, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old. She is so young, how could Zhu Heji be able to prey on her? But this girl also has something to do with Li Wenji. She was originally a palace servant in the Joseon Palace. Her surname was Zhang and her name was Zhang Yuzhen. She was once Li Yin's favorite palace servant. According to Li Wenji, when Li Yan was killed by Deng Guangming, he "charged" with Zhang Yuzhen.
After witnessing such an exciting thing, everyone thought she would go crazy with fear, but she turned out to be just fine... And she didn't know what path she had taken, and was transferred to Li Wenji as a maid. , came to Asan Palace together.
After arriving at Yashan Palace, when Zhu Heji hosted a banquet for Princess Ming'an, Emperor Hu De, Governor-General of Korea Province in the Ming Dynasty, Governor Yin Jin (Song Shilie was transferred to the central government and paid homage to Zuo Deputy Prime Minister) and other senior officials, he took the initiative to perform dances to add to the entertainment. Zhu Heji saw her enchanting and took a few more glances. Unexpectedly, Li Wenji sent her to accompany the king that night.
Although she was a filial "little widow", Zhu Heji didn't care about this. Of course he felt that Li Wenji liked him... Although Zhu Heji looked "fierce" like a bandit, he was particularly popular with women, but Li Wenji recommended the beauties around him to him like this, That's the first one! How could he have the nerve to refuse?
So last night Zhu Heji instructed Da Bo Ling to arrange for Zhang Yuzhen to serve. After holding hands, I found out that this piece of Yuzhen was actually a virgin - that Li Yan was really miserable, because his wife Jin was a shrew, and she controlled him tightly and did not allow him to favor Prince Ciyi. Presented by beauty Zhang Yuzhen. . So this Li Yan could only look at the beauties around him and drool every day, and he never held hands until his death. In the end, together with his Three Thousand Miles Kingdom and his sister Li Wenji, they all took advantage of Zhu Heji, the "bandit third grandson"!
"Auntie, come in, the door is unlocked." Zhu Heji quickly sat up from the bed after hearing Da Bo Ling say there was an urgent military report.
Zhang Yuzhen, who seemed to be sleeping very lightly, was awakened by the sound of him getting up. She quickly got up and got out of bed before him. She first found a pajamas and put them on, and then silently waited for Zhu Heji to get up. Help him put on his clothes and shoes.
Da Bo Ling had already opened the door and walked in. She was holding a wooden box containing military newspapers in her hand. The cover on the box had been removed. They should be the minister Yan Yuan, the chief guard Liu Yan, and the personal military advisor Yu Xiao. After Qian and the others had seen it, they sent it to the inner court.
Zhu Heji hurriedly took out a red-covered book from the box - this is the color only used by the highest level of emergency military intelligence!
He quickly opened the notebook, which contained only a few simple sentences, reporting that the Qing army had left Pyongyang two days ago and was heading south along the Pyongyang-Seoul road! Before this emergency military report was sent out, the vanguard cavalry of the Qing army had already captured Kaicheng, the former capital of Goryeo, which was only more than a hundred miles away from Seoul.
This is the only information this urgent military situation can provide.
As for the specific number of Qing troops? How is the equipment? Is the coach Kangxi himself? None of them knew anything.
Of course, these "not knowing" are very normal. Because on the Korean battlefield, the Qing cavalry had too great an advantage!
There are a lot of Eight Banners cavalry and Mongolian cavalry, which can be deployed in front and on both wings of our own army. The small number of reconnaissance cavalry and infantry of the Ming army dare not approach at all.
As for Huang Zhisheng, the "big spy" sent by Zhu Heji to the Kangxi camp, he is now a confidant of the Confucian sage Kong Yuqi. Although he is very popular among Confucianists, he has already been nicknamed the "Two Holy Dukes" , but left the center of Emperor Kangxi.
In addition, Emperor Kangxi has significantly strengthened his anti-espionage and anti-espionage work in the past two years. He established the Sticky Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to monitor all the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, especially those who could enter and exit the South Study Room to participate in confidential matters.
Moreover, Kangxi also "purified" the South Study Room, so that even slaves like Zhou Peigong could not participate in secrets.
Now that Kangxi can still trust him, there is only one important Han official involved, Wang Fuchen.
Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for Zhu Heji to find out the specific situation of the Qing army on this route.
But for Zhu Heji, it was enough to know that a Qing army brigade was heading towards Seoul.
Because the Qing army must now know that Zhu Heji arrived in North Korea, and accepted the request of Li Wenji, the state minister of Korea, to withdraw from the Korean vassal state and establish the Korean province. These things are enough to explain Zhu Heji himself. North Korea!
Now that Zhu Heji is here, how can the Qing army dare to attack Seoul without a certain number?
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji immediately ordered Da Bo Ling: "Go and notify the Military Affairs Department of the palace to hold a military meeting immediately!"
...
The Palace and Military Affairs Department was a military staff and military command organization that followed Zhu Heji. In theory, it was the dispatched agency of the Military Advisor Office, and the chief became the palace military advisor or marching division.
The person currently serving as the marching division is Zhu Heji's younger brother Yu Xiaoqian. He is the adopted son of Mr. Yu, and Zhu Heji is Mr. Yu's younger brother, so he established a relationship with Zhu Heji here.
Because Zhu Heji was his brother-in-law, and he was relatively calm and somewhat martial, so he had been a general under Zhu Heji for a long time.
After Zhu Heji captured Guangfu, he kept coming and going between the military academy and the positions of chief military officer and admiral of the army.
Because of his young age, quick wit, and rich military experience, he later collaborated with Zhuge Zhengyang, Zhao Hongkui, Ling Zongjun, Yu Xiaowen, Yu Xiaowu, Su Zhanshan, Su Zhanhai, Su Zhanjiang, Su Zhe, Qiu Bao (Qiu Hui), Qiu Hu ( Young generals such as Qiu Hui (youngest son), as well as Zhu Heji himself, were "self-taught" and came up with the current drills, doctrines and formations of the Ming Army. As a result, he was "used" by Zhu Heji and became a military advisor-level talent!
Nowadays, the people who play the leading role in the Ming Dynasty's military strategist circles are no longer the senior military strategists like Zhuge Sanhe, Yang Qilong, and Zuo Chunqiu who shake goose feather fans, but the new generation of chief-of-staff strategists.
When Zhu Heji and Da Boling arrived at the lobby of the palace to join the army, Yu Xiaoqian had already come up with a plan with several deputies and senior counselors.
"Your Majesty, I and others suggest that we start the return to Liao operation immediately, and try to complete the landing operation before the severe winter comes!" After saluting Zhu Heji, Yu Xiaoqian immediately made suggestions on behalf of the marching division.
Zhu Heji nodded, "It's almost time... Let's send two speedboats to Chengshanjiao!"
Yu Xiaoqian immediately winked at a senior counselor next to him, who immediately turned around to draft the token.
"What should we do here in North Korea?" Zhu Heji asked again, "Can the Army's first, second, eleventh and twelfth towns be used now?"
Yu Xiaoqian said: "I'm afraid it will take some time to train before they can be put into full use. These four towns were expanded on the basis of the first and second town's candidate officer corps and four thousand non-commissioned officers and veterans. They have been Nearly 30,000 Koreans were added... However, I expected that Kangxi would still act cautiously if he knew that the king was visiting Seoul in person.
As long as he is careful, we can intensify training in Seoul and in the military camps on the south bank of the Han River.
If Kangxi could be held to the north of Seoul, then Asan Old Camp would be absolutely safe... The imperial court would continuously send troops from Chungmyeongfu (formerly Chungcheong Province), Hanseongfu, Jeollafu, and Gyeongsang. Shangfu and Jiangyuanfu have mobilized young men! "
Zhu Heji smiled and nodded: "With hundreds of thousands of strong men from the five Koreas as my base, I have nothing to fear from lining up to be shot!"
"Great King Shengming!"
"Okay! Send troops to Seoul... The Gu family is going to meet Kang Mazi for a while!"
