Li Xian was sent out of Jinzhou City overnight.
After Li Xian left, Zheng Zhong also began to make a last stand. He took away almost all the soldiers and transferred them to Kaizhou City, preparing to fight to the death with Hancheng Lieutenant Zheng Zong. During the march, he did not hide anything at all. It was done right under the assistant's nose.
Zheng Zhong knew that it would not be in the interests of the Ming Dynasty to end the civil strife in North Korea early and cause Pyongyang's army to suffer heavy losses. Therefore, as long as he did not attack the four Dongzhou cities controlled by Zhao Fu, he would pull all his troops back and fight directly. Even in Seoul, Zhao Fu would not care.
And Zhao Fu and Zheng Zhong seemed to have agreed upon it.
When Zheng Zhong started fighting in Kaizhou City, Zhao Fu also began to lead tens of thousands of soldiers to storm Jinzhou City.
It took Zhao Fu two days to occupy Jinzhou City, and tens of thousands of soldiers looted it for three days.
It took Zheng Zhong three days to once again defeat the main force of Seoul led by Han Yangwei, seize two cities in a row, and approach Seoul step by step.
Tacitly, Zheng Zhong took Seoul, and Zhao Fu took the prefectures in Northeast Korea.
The royal court in Seoul was shocked, and hurriedly sent a royal order to Zhao Fu, asking him to lead his army back and cooperate with Hanyang Wei to annihilate the rebels.
But since Zhao Fu arrived in Dongping City, he no longer cared about the so-called Wang Ling.
Not only Zhao Fu didn't care, but also the Korean generals and ordinary soldiers.
Zhao Fu fought his way north.
Zheng Zhong fought all the way south.
And Shi Biao, who had been preparing in Pyongyang for a long time, also led his troops southward at the most anxious moment of the war, attacking several cities in a row under the banner of supporting North Korea's orthodoxy.
In fact, at this time, the cities in the north, except for the bandits and bullies, did not have much military power at all. It was better to say that they were attacking, but it was better to say that they were receiving and re-establishing the rules. Of course, these cities were also ruined.
After fighting all the way, among the tens of thousands of well-equipped Ming soldiers, only ten were injured, and they were all tired, fell off their horses, and twisted their guns.
When the war was going on, Wang Yue gave Shi Biao advice: "With so many cities, if the Ming army defends each one, the army will be too scattered. It is better to set up a picket army, select strong Koreans, set up a picket army of 500 people in the big cities, and set up a picket army in the small towns. A fifty-person picket army was used to occupy remote villages, and picket captains were established, who were served by soldiers of the Ming army. They were only issued weapons, no armor, and could receive food and grass, but no military salary."
When Shi Biao heard about it, he was a little reluctant, because for many years in Liaodong, he distrusted foreign races the most, and the sword was the safest when he held it in his own hand.
When Shi Biao thought about it carefully, this place was not a Jurchen with a population of 200,000, but a population of millions. If the management method of Liaoping Prefecture were used, more than 100,000 troops would be deployed in North Korea every year. .
Wang Yue also continued: "We choose honest and oppressed people as pickets. Once they gain power, they will cherish it very much and be very loyal to us. If there is a rebellion in the future, they will rush to the front." One line.”
Wang Yue's words reached Shi Biao's heart, so he agreed with Wang Yue's idea and handed the matter over to Wang Yue.
Wang Yue abolished public slaves and private slaves in the occupied areas, and selected young and strong people from these slaves to join the army. They were trained by Ming army soldiers and put on uniform black clothing. A machete.
North Korea established a slave picket army with the lowest status, which actually violated the core ideas of Confucianism, but Wang Yue, a scholar, did not think there was anything wrong.
In just a few months, under Wang Yue's leadership, the order of the Ming army's occupation of the city became better.
These slaves who had no human rights in the past cherished their opportunities very much. When they started working, they were diligent, ruthless towards themselves, and highly respected the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who changed their destiny. Of course, there were also some smart Koreans. He walked around with money and arranged his son to join the picket army.

In the cabinet duty room.
After reading Leng Lin's letter to him, Yu Qian put the letter on the table with a solemn expression.
Li Xian on the side was looking at the autumn harvest volumes of Qinyang Prefecture, Luoyang Prefecture, and Xi'an Prefecture. After reading them, Li Xian looked at Yu Qian and said with a chuckle: "I didn't expect that the tax revenue from the autumn harvest of these three prefectures. The food is comparable to Yingtian Mansion."
Yu Qian didn't respond.
Li Xian was shocked when he saw Yu Qian's appearance: "Yu Taibao, Yu Taibao..."
Yu Qian calmed down after listening to Li Xian's words. Then he looked at Li Xian and said softly: "Li Fuchen, something big happened."
"Big things, what big things can happen."
"The Emperor is lost..."
"What...this, how is this possible?"
"Leng Lin wrote a letter. The Supreme Emperor was distracted all the way and asked to go to Prince Teng's Pavilion to relax. He did not refuse. This is where the Supreme Emperor disappeared. It must have been planned for a long time."
"Looking for it, looking for it on a large scale."ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
"It's not that easy to find someone in a prosperous area. Leng Xiao once negotiated with the Nanchang magistrate to close the city gates. Within two days, the people were so vocal that we had to stop. The current emperor should have run out of Jiangxi."
After hearing this, Li Xian sighed. It had only been a few years of comfortable life.
Yu Qian continued: "It seems that the Supreme Emperor is heading towards the capital. We don't have to look for him. He will reach the capital in less than half a month."
There is no way to punish Leng Lin for this kind of thing. This old man has been with the Supreme Emperor for so many years, working hard and never complaining. You can't ignore all the previous achievements just because of the last negligence.
"No, we have to find it. If the Supreme Emperor comes to the capital and talks nonsense, the court's face and His Majesty's face will not be left at all. More importantly, you and I can't afford to walk around. I Write a letter to Xu Youzhen and ask him to pick it up on the way."
"Hey, Li Fuchen, don't make yourself self-defeating." Yu Qian waved his hand and said, then stood up and walked slowly outside.
"Yu Taibao, where are you going? Don't go to Qianqing Palace to tell His Majesty this at this time..."
Yu Qian turned around and was about to say something when a figure appeared behind him.
It was Zhang Bao.
"Yu Taibao, Li Fuchen..."
Seeing Zhang Bao's arrival, Li Xian quickly stood up. Now Li Xian felt a little panicked.
He was involved in this matter from the beginning to the end. Yu Qian was the one who handled the matter, and he was the mastermind. Even if the Supreme Emperor did not return to the capital, or even went to the vassal king, he would still stab the sky.
"Let those people set off. After arriving at Tumu Fort, they will naturally meet the Supreme Emperor..."
"Eunuch Zhang, what did you say?" Li Xian asked quickly.
Zhang Bao said proudly: "You set out, everyone from Jinyi Weidong Factory is following you. The Supreme Emperor has just disappeared from Tengwang Pavilion, and he has been in the hands of my people. The secret message has just arrived, and now the Supreme Emperor has already gone to Tumu Fort in a carriage. Don't worry."
Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It was okay.
After hearing this, Yu Qian's expression remained as usual.
Zhang Bao followed Yu Qian again. After Li Xian finished speaking some words, he returned to Qianqing Palace.
Looking at Zhu Jianshen sitting in front of the emperor, he whispered: "Your Majesty, you have already spoken to the Taibao and Li Fuchen."
Zhu Jianshen nodded, but did not continue on this topic. Instead, he said lightly: "Tonight, I will go to Kunning Palace. No, I will go to An Bin's place for dinner tonight."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right away."
"By the way, can you let me meet? You can arrange it."
"Meet, meet with whom." Zhang Bao didn't react for a moment.
"Forget it, forget it, I'm gone. I'll see you sooner or later, why bother?" As soon as Zhu Jianshen said these words, Zhang Bao realized that he wanted to see the Supreme Emperor.
Regarding this topic, Zhang Bao did not dare to say another word.
