Li Hao was very happy that his son, who had been away from home for many years, finally came back. He met with Li Hao in the main hall together with the civil and military officials.
In front of everyone, although Li Hao was excited, he knew that this was not the place to talk.
I just talked about parting with Li Zhu and reported some situations in Liaodong.
Hearing that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had entered the country and was even going to fight for the world, Li Jian and the officials in North Korea all had mixed emotions.
The pain of having to leave the Ming Dynasty and crawl at the feet of the Manchu Qing Dynasty resurfaced before my eyes.
Now it seems that this change of camp seems to be good.
After all, the Manchus were likely to become the masters of the world.
By that time, the exploitation of North Korea should also be reduced a lot, right?
When they returned to the harem and the father and son were talking alone, Li Hao finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"The Manchu Qing Dynasty treats Korea as a pig and a dog and exploits it at will. People all over the country are miserable and complaining. I am afraid that it will not be long before wars are everywhere. Father, we cannot go on like this!"
After so many years, Li Zhu has really aged a lot. Facing Li Hao's impassioned speech, he was almost unmoved.
"The Manchu Qing Dynasty is powerful and invincible. You must not act recklessly, lest you die without a burial place."
But Li Hao was unwilling to give in and said anxiously: "My father doesn't know something, and my son has been helped by capable people with lofty ideals. This time the Manchu Qing enters the pass, they will inevitably compete with the Xia Kingdom. When the time comes, the Central Plains will fight together. , the Manchu and Qing Dynasties must have no time to care about him. In this way, it is a God-given opportunity for Korea to get rid of the Manchu Qing Dynasty."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Li Zhu actually got angry.
"Asshole! We are here today thanks to the help of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, if the rebellious officials and traitors from the south come over, how can we still survive?"
Li Hao was startled, not expecting that Li Zhu would think so.
He kept kowtowing and talking about his opinions.
"The south can seek refuge with the Xia Kingdom, and so can we. The Xia Kingdom inherits the Ming Dynasty, which is actually the orthodoxy of the Han family, and is the true God of Korea. If we can return to the embrace of China, why not?"
"enough!"
Li Shu's face was as cold as frost, and he looked at his son with a very unkind look.
"Have you forgotten why we have fallen to this point? Even if we want to join Xia Kingdom, how can we compare with the rebellious officials and traitors in the south? We must not be naive, understand?"
Li Hao's heart felt cold.
When Li Zhu knelt down and kowtowed to Huang Tai Ji San at Santian Ferry, he could see his sorrow and pain.
It is clear that Li Zhu did not want to surrender to the Manchus. Why is he willing to be the lackey of the Manchus today?
Li Hao didn't understand at all that Li Hao had already lost his ambition.
In Li Zhu's mind, power and wealth are the most important things to him.
Even if he is a courtier of the Manchus, he will be willing to do so as long as he can keep these things.
As for rebelling against the Manchus and defecting to Xia, the old and frail Li Zhu did not want to take the risk.
As for the Korean people whose families were ruined and whose lives were worse than death because of this, Li Jian didn't care.
But they are all untouchables. It is enough to be able to contribute blood and food to the royal family when they are born in this world.
Li Hao left in despair.
He found that this time when he came back, his hometown was different.
What should be done to revive Li Zhu has become a huge problem.
Both the northern and southern ends of the Korean Peninsula began to enter a stage of chaos. Xia Guo saw it but did not interfere. Instead, he began to slowly prepare and wait to clean up the mess.
Jiangxi.
Xia Jun's actions finally encountered real obstruction.
Kuang Zhao, the governor of Jiangxi, decided to resist the Xia army's arrival to the end.
"Although Your Majesty died for the country, the Ming Dynasty has been in power for two hundred years and has loyal ministers and filial sons. Under the king's land, how can rebellion and poison be tolerated? I have decided to fight with the Xia thieves to the end. Those who are afraid of death, leave quickly. Those who are not afraid of death , please work together with me to protect the pure land of Jiangxi."
Not only Kuang Zhao, Jiujiang magistrate Shi Chun and commander-in-chief Huang Binqing also chose to resist.
In the Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi's literary style was at its most prosperous, producing countless Jinshi officials, and of course countless landowners, large and small.
The arrival of the Xia Kingdom will definitely have a fatal impact on the dominance of the landlords.
This is the fundamental reason why many places in Jiangxi choose to resist.
When the news came, Zuo Rong and others were not surprised.
"Since these people are stubborn, we should completely eliminate them. In the process of rebelling against orthodoxy in the world, we must show force to scare Xiaoxiao."
Zuo Rong has a resolute temperament and is not affected at all when encountering difficulties.
"Haha, even if these people want to resist, I'm afraid they won't be able to do what they want. There have been turmoils all over Jiangxi, and they are definitely not able to control it."
The person who said this is the new Jiangxi Provincial Governor Li Yuanding.
As Li Banghua's nephew and a native of Jiangxi, he was sent to be responsible for conquering Jiangxi.
As for the situation in Jiangxi, Li Yuanding couldn't be more clear.
"Jiangxi is not only prosperous in literary style, but also prosperous in commerce. Businessmen from all over the country have been close to my Xia Kingdom for a long time, and they are even more interested in us. Now they can be mobilized to draw out the firepower."
Jiangxi has a large population but little land and limited products, so many people need to work in business to survive.
Jingdezhen's porcelain, Qianshan's papermaking, Jianchang's medicinal materials, Yuzhang's textiles, Pingxiang's mining, and Nanchang's shipbuilding are all famous.
A prosperous economy has created a large number of businessmen.
The Xia State, which was founded on business, naturally had close ties with these Jiangxi merchants.
It can be said that Jiangxi businessmen have longed for the Xia Kingdom and wished to join him as soon as possible.
Now some remnants of the Ming Dynasty are trying to resist, but they can't even level their own backyards.
Li Yuanding, Zuo Rong, and Zuo Hua decided to work together.
Zuo Hua led the navy to Poyang Lake and launched an attack on Jiujiang. The southern strategic cluster invaded Jiangxi from southern Zhili and Zhejiang respectively.
Tang Wenhuan led the 1st Marine Division the hardest. After crossing Xianxia Ridge, they outflanked southern Jiangxi.
Kuang Zhao and others did not expect that Xia Jun would move so fast and come from all directions, which was quite overwhelming.
Jiangxi's troops and horses are originally very limited, and their combat effectiveness is not high. Kuang Zhao had no choice but to shrink, hoping to defend a few big cities and block traffic arteries.
He had no idea that Jiangxi was also beginning to explode internally.
Jishui.
This is Li Banghua’s hometown.
Li Banghua's tribe is everywhere here, and their influence is huge.
When Li Banghua first took refuge in the Xia Kingdom, his people were arrested by the local officials and were in danger.
As a result, under the threat of Xia State, all Li Banghua's relatives were safe and took root in the local area openly.
Now that Xia State has invaded Jiangxi, Li Yuanding has also returned.
Li Banghua's people immediately connected with each other in their hometown and accumulated strong power.
