Goryeo, Tamra, garrison.
In December of the ninth year of Jingyan, Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty, the vanguard of the Qing Dynasty army, Xiaobei Legulmahun, commanded the elite Eight Hundred and Eight Banners to capture Hanyang, the capital of Goryeo. The Goryeo guard general Shen Qi was far from able to resist, so he led his troops to retreat to Guangling. ; In the first month of the tenth year, Marshal Jin Zidian of the capital led troops to serve the king after hearing the news of the fall of the capital. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, he was captured by Zhasak Tu. The Qing army led by Fei Yanggu was defeated at Tushan County, Huanghaidao. Jin Zidian led only The remaining seventeen cavalry escaped and retreated to Miyuan County, Yanggen County, Gyeonggi Province, where they met up with the guard general Shen Qiyuan. They remained stationary for more than 20 days, allowing the Manchu Eight Banners Army to wreak havoc on the land of Goryeo. On the first day of the first lunar month, Dabeile Amin conquered Changju, Anju, and Huangzhou, and the troops were close to Goryeo Injo Lee Joo and retreated to Namhan Mountain City.
On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the Qing emperor Aixinjueluo Jierhalang, the leader of the Two Yellow Banners, led his clan members Zasaktu, Feiyanggu, Airli, Gusua, ministers Buzhantai and Naqib. Er Yidu, Ma Futa, Xia Army Banner Master Shuoer Tugen, Han Army Banner Master Shi Tingzhu, and 55,000 troops arrived at Hanyang City. The next day, the army left five thousand soldiers and horses to guard the capital of Goryeo. The rest continued southward with the Khan King Jilhalang. On the 13th of the first lunar month, they surrounded the mountain city of Namhan where Injo of Goryeo was located. Seeing that foreign aid had been cut off, the latter had no choice but to send envoys to the Qing camp to discuss peace matters. On the twenty-third of the first lunar month, Dabeile Amin led five thousand soldiers and horses across the sea to sneak attack on Ganghwa Island. The crown prince concubine and the two princes were all captured. This became the last straw for Injo and his ministers. On the 28th of the first lunar month, Goryeo accepted the Manchu Qing's proposal to sever absolute relations and to become a vassal and pay tribute to itself. On the 30th day of the first lunar month, Injo, wearing blue dyed clothes and riding a white horse, led the crown prince and more than 50 accompanying officials out of the west gate of Namhansan Fortress, and knelt three times and kowtowed to Jilhalang at the Samjeon Crossing on the south bank of the Han River. Then he changed to the mink fur given by Jierharang to express his gratitude. From then on, Goryeo, with its three thousand miles of beautiful rivers and mountains, became a vassal state of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, deviating from its original suzerainty, the Ming Dynasty...
When Kang Lin was sitting in the Tamna Guards House taking stock of how many chips he had in hand, a sand ship hurried south brought him the latest battlefield intelligence, as well as an old friend, the Korean official Cao Banshu and Youyinzheng Cui Mingji’s confidant Li Chengxuan! Originally, this guy had newly occupied Jeju Island and had a lot of things to do. He wanted to leave him in the inn and wait for a few days before seeing him again. However, after hearing that the other party had a fortune to give to him, Kanglin Kangda decided to give it to him. The guard changed his mind, and the man asked the soldiers to take him to the study to wait for him. As for himself, he entered the back house of the governor's house to wash and change clothes. When Li Chengxuan came, Kang Lin expected that the other party was seeking something from him, and it would be somewhat out of place for him to be wearing a pine-patterned Taoist robe. As a result, the latter soon met the leader of Chiyang, Kang Lin, who was fully dressed as a military attaché of the Ming Dynasty, in a study room of the Tamra Guards House! I saw that this guy was wearing a black gauze official hat, a green official robe of a sixth-grade military attache, and a pair of black lacquer and gold official boots on his feet. His words and deeds were quite majestic, and he definitely did not look like a pirate who had just washed his feet and landed ashore. ! Therefore, Staff Li, who was asking for help, immediately stepped forward, bowed his head to the ground, and began to pay homage!
The two parties had been separated for only a few months, and when they met again, their identities had undergone earth-shaking changes! A few months ago, the leader of Kang Da had just been recruited by the Ming Dynasty and became an ordinary officer of a hundred households in the Coastal Guard Station. His territory was only a corner of Tuoji, and his men only had a few hundred soldiers. However, a few months later, Kang was He has led the army to successfully occupy most of Jeju Island and became a veritable emperor. He has thousands of elite warriors under his command. Even Shin Kyung-yu, the envoy of Jeolla Province who has more than 10,000 soldiers, dare not ignore him. existence, at this moment, Mr. Cui Mingji, the judge of Li Cao, hopes to get his help and gain the upper hand in the increasingly fierce political dispute in the court! Therefore, you must show enough respect and respect in front of them in order to gain their favor and complete the tasks ordered by your boss. Li Chengxuan raised his head and looked at the high-spirited Kang Lin Kangda guard sitting on the main seat. He couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart. However, feeling is a feeling, and he still has to continue talking! Otherwise, everyone is always so polite, when can we get to the point!
"My lord, I am here to contact you and discuss a big deal involving you and me..."
"Oh, Mr. Nanhu, if you have any advice, you might as well say it directly. I am all ears!"
Press your hands to indicate to the other person to sit down and talk. Kang Lin stood up and dismissed the people around him, and poured tea for Li Chengxuan himself. He didn't know what was going on, so he had to bother.
Cui Mingji's trusted staff came all the way to Jeju Island to discuss with him, so he simply opened the skylight to speak openly and directly asked the questions in his heart. He didn't want to go around with people all the time. After all, my time is limited and I am busy with official duties, so I really don’t have time to practice Tai Chi with people in a hazy atmosphere!
"Refreshing, the leader of Kangda is really refreshing. He is indeed a man from the heaven. I admire you greatly! In fact, I came here to look for you this time. I am following the order of my lord Cui Gong, and I want to discuss a big deal with you. Buy and sell! If this happens, Sir, you will not only be able to successfully clear your identity, but you will also take the opportunity to obtain an official position. If it fails, Lord Judge will not let you work in vain. I heard that there is a lack of population under your rule, Li Ginseng, rice, as long as you can help me with all your strength, five hundred strong officials and slaves, one hundred catties of wild ginseng, and three thousand five hundred stones of rice will be considered a gift from Cui Gong. As for the jurisdiction of Jeju Island, this is not non-negotiable. , but the key question is to what extent you can help Cui Gong. If you can fully support Cui Gong in suppressing other factions in the court, Cui Gong will report to the king and grant you the official position of Jeju Pastoral Envoy, so that you can legitimately obtain it. Jeju jurisdiction..."
Motivate them with emotion, lure them with profit! Mr. Nanhu Li Chengxuan’s words are very tempting, plus the two parties have cooperated before! Kang Lin was very moved after hearing this. Although he sent his army to capture every prefecture and county in Jeju Island, fundamentally speaking, he did not want to quarrel with the Goryeo court too much. Otherwise, he would have sent elite soldiers and generals. After capturing Jingyi County, how could he tolerate Li Zhenqing retreating to the county with his remaining defeated troops? At this moment, when he heard the generous terms offered by Li Nanhu, he just thought about it briefly and immediately came up with an idea. He would take advantage of this God-given opportunity to blackmail Cui Mingji and Cui Dabanshu, and use the resources in the hands of those Goryeo nobles to consolidate The foundation for the development of their own power, and penetrated into them, completely disrupting the entire situation, leaving them no longer able to pay attention to the Jeju Island they occupied!
"Then how do you want us to cooperate with you, and what is this big deal?"
"Send troops, select elites, send troops to Nanhan Mountain City, and attack the Tartars' retreat. During this period, it would be better if you can be lucky enough to capture the head of the real slave. As long as Cui Gong has enough military merit, he can use his strength in the court. Suppress other factions. At that time, not to mention some extraneous things, even official positions and titles, he can beg for you..."
He reached out to pick up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip of the hot tea. The smile on Mr. Nanhu Li Chengxuan's face became even brighter. He had already seen something called hope in his eyes! It seems that his previous lobbying was not completely ineffective. The leader of the rebels and pirates in front of him is already attracted. If he just pushes him again, the opponent may completely fall into his trap and become a pawn. A chess piece that can influence the situation but completely obeys the orders of its benefactor! At that time, people will eat meat and drink soup, and I can get some bones and dregs to taste it. Maybe Cui Mingji, Mr. Cui, will directly use his connections to get himself a county supervisor and promote him to the official position if he is happy! Li Chengxuan's heart was filled with excitement when he thought that he might wear official robes on the ship and become a government official that everyone respected and feared! To be honest, this guy not only had bad luck in the exams, but also failed to pass the Chinese exams in several scientific exams. Even after working under Cui Mingji for many years, he has not made any achievements. Now that he finally comes across a good opportunity, he still has to climb up the pole! As a result, the man's increasingly passionate persuasion soon began to sound in the large study room of the Tamluo Governor's Mansion.
"Chief Minister of Jeju? Mr. Namho, I have little education, so please don't lie to me! As far as I know, most of the pastoral posts in your country are held by scholars with Jinshi background, and the same is true for military chief judges! Is it possible that this is the case? How can I, a brave warrior like me, covet the position of shepherd with no merit in my work?"
After hearing that Li Chengxuan was doing a lot of things and writing bad checks to himself, the faint smile on Kang Lin's face quickly disappeared! Although he now has some soldiers and horses under his command and occupies some territory, it seems that he is full of flowers and burning oil, but he is very self-aware and knows his weight in front of the feudal rulers! Li Chengxuan wants to promise him the official positions of county supervisor, county guard, ten thousand households and even general. He may still believe it, but this guy opens his mouth and promises himself the high position of pastoral envoy of the third rank. How can people not doubt this guy's sincerity! It’s hard to tell whether this guy or the master behind him, Cui Mingji, the government official of Goryeo and the judge of Cao Cao, had in his heart the idea of killing the donkey to kill the donkey.
After tricking himself into helping them get the chestnuts out of the fire, he ate them all and turned his back on them and refused to acknowledge anyone else! Anyway, when the time comes, I will have the reputation of being a pirate, and my subordinates will suffer heavy casualties from the attacks of the Jurchens. If Cui Mingji, Cui Dayanshu, refuses to admit it to death, I will have nothing to do with him. Is it possible that I can still lead the army to attack? The temporary visit of the Korean people to Namhansanseong? Come on, that is a solid mountain city that has not even been captured by powerful forces such as the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. With just the strength of my own men, don't even think about it. If you don't get a bloody blow and the whole army is annihilated, it will be God's eyes! What I fear most is that if I send my main force to the battlefield of Namhansanseong, Jeongui County, and even the Korean army in Jeolla Province, I will wait for an opportunity to retake Jeju Island. In that case, I will not succeed in stealing the chicken, but lose the rice instead, and the gain will not be worth the loss...
