Shi Heng left Liaodong, and the sequelae of his influence on North Korea began to appear.
Not only Li Yu, King of Jincheng in Seoul, wanted to unify North Korea during the transfer of power from the Ming army, but even Zheng Zhong and others in Pyongyang, who had been holding back and did not dare to attack south, also had this idea.
Shi Biao led his army south and arrived at Pyongyang, which was a warning to Zheng Zhong in Pyongyang city. However, Li Yu, Lord of Jincheng in Seoul, was not directly warned by the Ming army and attempted to challenge the new order of the peninsula established by the Ming Dynasty for Korea.
Zhao Fu, who was in Seoul, also started making arrangements. Firstly, he wanted to prevent the Seoul army from launching a war that would damage its own strength. Now the armies outside Seoul have been trained by him for several years and respect him very much. If the losses were heavy, then his layout in Seoul would be considered destroyed. Secondly, it was also a requirement of His Majesty the Emperor himself.
Seoul, in the royal palace.
On top of the court meeting attended by the king, Zhao Fu also went. At such a court meeting, he had a head-on confrontation with Jincheng Lord Li Yu.
He expressed his attitude that Ming Dynasty did not agree to let the army in Seoul do things that were detrimental to itself during this sensitive period.
Li Hongwei sat on the throne, listening to the fierce debate between Jincheng Lord Li Yu and Zhao Fu, the first governor of the Ming Dynasty, without making any decision. Over the years, Jincheng Lord Li Yu has become more and more powerful. Trust, no one in their government can play a restrictive role.
Especially on the issue of exterminating the rebels in Pyongyang, few people dare to confront Li Yu on this issue.
But Zhao Fu didn't have this psychological pressure.
Zhao Fu compared the victory rates of the two armies over several years and said directly in front of the leader Li Hongwei that if the attack was difficult to win, the Ming army in Anping might not be able to control the rebels in Pyongyang. The situation will expand. After the Seoul army fails to move north, it may arouse the anger of Pyongyang's military and civilians, causing them to desperately go south to attack Seoul. By then, the entire North Korean orthodoxy is in danger of being destroyed.
Zhao Fu's analysis made Li Hongwei a little panicked, and he quickly looked at Li Yu.
And Li Yu sneered and said: "Your Majesty, General Zhao's words are a bit alarmist. The Pyongyang rebels only occupy more than 30 cities, with only more than 800,000 civilians, and less than 20,000 armored soldiers. , they simply have no ability to go south. What's more, our Seoul army has been trained by General Zhao Fu in recent years, and its own combat effectiveness has also increased. In my opinion, this northern expedition will definitely return with a great victory. Recover half of the country that Korea has lost for several years."
Lord Jincheng Li Yu knew what the leader of the country, Li Hongwei, was most afraid of, so he did not report on his strategic plan at all. Instead, he first dispelled his fears and then prepared a big pie for Li Hongwei to eat.
Of course, Li Yu had no strategic plan to talk about.
After listening to Li Yu's words, Li Hongwei relaxed his brows, and Zhao Fu also laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, there have been many Northern Expeditions in recent years. You can think about it. In every Northern Expedition, didn't Lord Jincheng always use this paragraph?" The words came to win the consent of the country's leader. But the result was that every time they returned in defeat, they abandoned their armor. Over the years, the Seoul Army, whether it is a general in the middle or upper ranks or a soldier at the bottom, no one is as afraid of Pyongyang as a tiger. If you don't listen to my general's advice and send troops, you will have to bear the consequences of ruining your country and your family."
After hearing this, Cheng Sanwen, Pu Pengnian, Heweidi, Liu Chengyuan, and Li Kai all felt that what Zhao Fu said made sense. They had not won in so many years. Which of those small victories were not for rewards? Renewal.
Zheng Cong, the captain of Hancheng and the old uncle of the king, was not enthusiastic about the war that Li Yu was eager to promote. In his opinion, it was better to be still than to move. In just a few decades of life, these things would be forgotten. It would be foolish to spend your beautiful and short time fighting an unwinnable war.
And Li Hongwei's brows that had just relaxed were wrinkled again. General Zhao is right. We don't seem to have won.
After Li Yu heard this, his handsome face turned ferocious. He looked at Zhao Fu and growled coldly: "General Zhao, although you are a general of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty asked you to help us. North Korea is not here to delay our process of reunifying our country."
Zhao Fu was not angry, but looked at Li Yu calmly: "This general is helping you right now."
Cheng Sanwen knew that if the duel continued, the conflict between Lord Jincheng and General Zhao Fu of the Ming Dynasty would be irreconcilable. This matter would not be of any benefit to North Korea. He immediately gave the memorial to Li Hongwei and ended the duel. .
After it was over, Zhao Fu left the palace and returned to the other courtyard, and Jincheng Jun Li Yu also came to the other courtyard with his buttocks...
The mood of Shi Heng, who caused the change in the situation in North Korea, was very unpleasant.
Shi Heng entered Beijing with great wishes for the future.
But the experience of entering Beijing this time made Shi Heng feel uncomfortable. When Shi Biao returned to Beijing, Zhang Bao personally greeted him. But this time when he returned to Beijing, there was no movement at all.
After he arrived at Shanhaiguan, he clearly sent someone to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion in the capital to deliver military notices. Logically speaking, His Majesty should also know about it.
For the grand welcome ceremony, Shi Heng also stopped at Shanhaiguan for three days to give the court time to prepare.
Of course, during the three days of waiting in Shanhaiguan, something happened to him.
Logically speaking, he could just wait, but he was not idle. After drinking in Shanhaiguan, he started to brag about his awesomeness.
He told the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan and other generals that although he was transferred out of Liaodong by His Majesty, his prestige in Liaodong was very high, and even if he did not go there for several years, it would not have any impact.
It is no exaggeration to say that after leaving Shanhaiguan, there is no point in looking for the imperial court. You still have to look for yourself. Even if you are not in Liaodong, it will be easy.
And these words were passed to the capital verbatim.
Some censors have already impeached Shi Heng for his arrogance.
Among the soldiers who followed Shi Heng along the way, there were also spies arranged by Jin Yiwei. During the few days Shi Heng stayed in Shanhaiguan, they reported in detail everything he said and did along the way. Gave it to Zhu Ji.
After cooperating with Shanhaiguan's words, Zhu Jianshen was very angry. Even after he came back, he still did not forget to be arrogant again. At that moment, Zhu Jianshen canceled the previous arrangements. Although he did not punish Shi Heng, he still had to deal with it coldly.
In this way, three days after Shi Heng returned to the capital, His Majesty the Emperor still did not summon him.
It didn't matter that he wasn't summoned, but he also suspended his court meeting, saying that Shi Heng had worked hard all the way and needed a few more days of rest.
This made Shi Heng feel even more confused.
Could it be that Shi Biao lied to himself in order to stabilize himself? His Majesty had never thought of using troops against Annan. Even if His Majesty had plans to use troops against the southwest, he had no intention of using his own.
This made Shi Heng even more panicked.
Then Shi Heng started to make connections and found Zhang Bao, asking him to help him send a message to His Majesty. His Zhenbei General Shi Heng was back. When can they arrange to meet?
How long has it been since the imperial poem that moved heaven and earth moved me to undress the general? Has Your Majesty forgotten it?
The day after Shi Heng found Zhang Bao through connections, Shi Heng finally received a summons from Zhu Jianshen.
This made Shi Heng ecstatic. After receiving the order, he immediately put on the python robe given by His Majesty the Emperor and entered the palace to face the saint.
In the Qianqing Palace, when Zhu Jianshen saw Shi Heng wearing a python robe and jade belt, he was also a little startled. He had treated Shi Heng so coldly in the past few days. According to the reaction of normal people, he would keep a low profile, or at least not wear such ostentatious clothes. The clothes are put into the palace to meet the saint.
Shi Heng wore a python robe to meet the saints. In his opinion, he wore it to show to those civil servants who felt that they had lost their favor. But in Zhu Jianshen's opinion, Shi Heng wore the python robe to show himself.
Your Majesty, look at the python robe you gave to the humble minister. Do you remember how much you valued me? You once specially gave Shi Heng, your Zhenbei general, a banquet in Huagai Palace. You can't forget this feeling. ah.
There is a suspicion of being soft and forcing the palace.
"Your Majesty, Shi Heng, bow down to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and said, "Marquis Wu Yang, Pingshen."
After Shi Heng heard Zhu Jianshen's words, he slowly stood up, then raised his head and glanced at Zhu Jianshen, and met Zhu Jianshen's eyes.
Shi Heng quickly lowered his head.
"Marquis Wuyang, you have been working hard on this journey. I wanted to let Marquis Wuyang rest for a few more days..."
Zhu Jianshen was hesitant to speak, but Shi Heng didn't understand. When he saw His Majesty stop talking, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am very energetic and don't need to rest. I want to get on my horse as soon as possible and then charge into battle for Your Majesty."
