Shi Heng has absolute control over Pyongyang in North Korea. As usual, his fist holds the right to speak.
The layout of the Ming army and the location of Pyongyang mean that the Ming Dynasty has an absolute advantage over Pyongyang.
But if Pyongyang defeats Seoul and unifies North Korea, this advantage will disappear. Similarly, if Seoul regains Pyongyang, it will have the same effect.
Shi Heng would not allow this great situation to be ruined.
Even if he wanted to leave Liaodong, he would not want to.
Sun Xiang was tired from traveling all the way, and when he went to rest, Shi Heng finally had time to chat with Shi Biao about the future of Liaoping Mansion and about North Korea.
Although Shi Biao played some tricks on Shi Heng, Shi Heng didn't hide anything in front of Shi Biao.
He told Shi Biao all he knew about North Korea.
He also made some suggestions for him to serve as the general military officer in Liaodong later.
Shi Biao is different from Shi Heng. He did not stay in Guangning, Shenyang, Fushun and other places for long. Since the eradication of the Jianzhou Sanwei, Haixi Jurchen and other tribes, he has been staying in Liaodong Prefecture. The generals are very familiar with the military arrangements.
However, my grasp and understanding of Guangning, Shenyang, Fushun and other places are slightly insufficient.
Therefore, Shi Heng suggested that Shi Biao's focus in the past year should not be entirely placed on Liaoping Mansion, and the rear area also had a lot of understanding.
Of course, these decisions must be made after the situation in North Korea returns to normal.
Seeing the old uncle's instructions to him, Shi Biao was a little moved in his heart. However, this move was only momentary. Just draw the line as you should, and you can't separate public from private.
In the end, Shi Heng's dozen or so girls did not take away any of them. Presumably it was Shi Biao's words, and he took them to heart. However, in order to prevent such things from happening in the family, Shi Heng did not leave Shi Biao with a little aunt. , he spent four or five days sending these women out.
His original plan was to give it to Sun Xiang and Wang Hong, but these two people were afraid of this matter. They talked about women so much that they couldn't give it away no matter what. At the moment, Shi Heng could only do the next best thing and turn his attention away. He arrived in the army he had led for several years.
He gave all these women to his subordinates who had worked hard with him for several years.
Shi Heng also started to return to Beijing on the fifth day after receiving the imperial edict.
Because all his belongings were entrusted to Shi Biao to take away, this time, there was no big car to delay the time.
Hundreds of soldiers and Shi Heng left Liaoping City on horseback.
After Sun Xiang sent Shi Heng away, he was not in a hurry to leave.
Pyongyang learned about Shi Heng's transfer and departure three days later, while Seoul only learned about it on the sixth day.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the two cities suddenly became tense.
Zheng Zhong summoned the ministers and generals in the palace in the name of the king. After a night of discussion, they felt that this was an opportunity.
Shi Heng left and Shi Biao took over. This was a gap period during which Ming Dynasty threatened Pyongyang militarily.
They are fully capable of taking advantage of this gap in the Ming Dynasty to go south and unify Korea.
In fact, Zheng Zhong understood the thoughts of the Ming court very well, and also knew what Shi Heng had been thinking all along, so he could only tolerate and give in.
He also knew in his heart that if Pyongyang exposed its ambitions, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would definitely be dissatisfied with it, and he would even be punished like thunder and rain by the Ming army. However, his desire to unify Korea and avenge Lord Shouyang was not He has a strong attraction to Zheng Zhong.
Now is the opportunity.
If this opportunity is missed, they will really never have another chance.
In this way, Zheng Zhong formulated a plan to start gathering their elites as quickly as possible and win in the name of changing defense.
And Zheng Zhong also made a series of plans. First, he prepared the envoys. When the army moved south, the envoys began to go north to meet Shi Biao, which played a role in delaying time.
The armaments, property, food, and population in Pyongyang must also be moved south in a planned way. In this way, if the Ming army turns against them and they mobilize their troops, Pyongyang will become an empty city. Then, on the Yellow Sea Road south of Pyongyang, along the pine forest line Set up a defensive line and prepare to withstand the second wave of Ming army's attack.
When Zheng Zhong began to prepare, Pyongyang began to take action.
Tens of thousands of Ming troops, led by Shi Biao, had arrived in Pyongyang.
This shocked Zheng Zhong and frightened the officials in Pyongyang.
They have spies in Liaoping Prefecture, so why wouldn't the Ming Dynasty instigate their officials to rebel? In recent years, Pyongyang has had deep exchanges with Liaoping Prefecture, giving the other side the opportunity to plant spies.
Zheng Zhong knew about it when Sun Xiang entered Liaoping City, and one day after Zheng Zhong's first discussion meeting, Shi Biao also knew about it.
What my uncle said makes sense. As long as Pyongyang is under control, the situation in North Korea as a whole can be under control.
So when Zheng Zhong started to mobilize his troops, Shi Biao was also nervously mobilizing troops. He didn't really want to fight, he was carrying out military intimidation against Pyongyang.
Of course, Shi Biao also has his own thinking ability. They react quickly and have courage.
He knew that the high-ranking North Korean officials in Pyongyang, and even the country's leader, were afraid that the Ming army would appear under Pyongyang one day. What were they afraid of? Shi Biao made what they feared become a reality.
Before Shi Heng left Liaoping City, Shi Biao had already begun preparations to recruit troops. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
When Zheng Zhong stood on the city wall and looked at the Ming army below the city, his heart was filled with despair. He knew that Pyongyang had missed an excellent opportunity.
At the moment, Zheng Zhong could only cancel his plan to attack southward for the first time since the Pyongyang rebellion, and then politely welcomed Shi Biao into the city of Pyongyang.
Shi Biao spoke very rudely and reiterated once again that Pyongyang would never go south to the Ming army's request and hoped that Pyongyang's military and civilians would be obedient.
At this time, Zheng Zhong would certainly not admit that he had the opportunity to go south.
Shi Biao expressed his belief in this, and said to Zheng Zhong earnestly: "Don't be too smart, mess up the overall situation, and kill your life."
The first confrontation between Zheng Zhong and Shi Biao made Zheng Zhong understand that Shi Biao was not a simple person, and in some aspects was even more difficult to deal with than Shi Heng.
The response from Seoul was much slower. Although Li Yu, the king of Jincheng, occupied the high ground with his smart IQ, his foundation was not good and he had no military talent. After receiving the news, Li Yu was very happy. On that day, I felt that it was God's blessing, and I also felt that the reason why Ming Dynasty transferred Shi Heng away was partly because of his physical injury, which made His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty feel a little ashamed of himself, so he transferred Shi Heng away.
As for Shi Biao, this unknown figure, Li Yu didn't take it seriously. After he reported it to the king, he spent several days discussing it, but no detailed plan was released...
Of course, we can also see some big differences between Seoul and Pyongyang.
Forbidden City, Shouchun Palace.
Just after midnight, things started to get busy.
The three beautiful ladies first washed their bodies in Shouchun Palace, and then began to dress up under the command of several old palace maids.
Hundreds of eunuchs were inspecting the road from Shouchun Palace to Qianqing Palace, and a red carpet was laid out at the main entrance of Qianqing Palace, brightly lit and beaming with joy.
More than thirty palace maids arranged the decorations in the Palace of Qianqing. All the memorials and playthings on Zhu Jianshen's imperial desk were moved to the side hall. Even the many precious porcelains on his treasure shelves were not spared, along with the expensive porcelain. The shelves were moved to the side hall by the eunuchs.
Next to Zhu Jianshen's throne, three chairs were added, one by one.
The chair closest to Zhu Jianshen is the seat of the Empress Dowager Sun, and below the Empress Dowager Sun is the seat of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and below Zhu Jianshen is the chair of the Empress Dowager Qian.
The busy figures in the palace are all preparing for Zhu Jianshen's court election tomorrow.
Zhu Jianshen, who is tomorrow's protagonist, is sleeping. Although he has fallen asleep, there is still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He must be having some sweet dreams...
