Qi Jin hurriedly came to the front yard, climbed up the wall and looked outside, and saw that it was exactly as the soldiers said outside. The streets and alleys were full of Korean people, and they were all kneeling on the ground.
For General Qi Shen, if it was an enemy attack or a mob situation, it would be easier to deal with it.
It's nothing more than standing up to resist and running away if you can't resist.
In addition to "Linhaijun is not allowed to have contact with the Koreans", the second order of Duke Jinglue is that if something unexpected happens, you can kill Linhaijun first and then find a way to escape.
The priority is to protect oneself, because Lord Linhai is not worth the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers risking their lives for.
If Lord Linhai was really of great significance, Duke Jinglue would not have sent only two hundred officers and soldiers to escort Lord Linhai in these troubled times.
However, this scene of a large group of people blocking the door and asking to see Lord Linhai made Qi Shenjiang feel that it was much more disturbing than encountering an enemy attack.
You can't just raise your sword and go out and chop at the people casually, right? What's the difference between that and Japanese pirates?
This was completely beyond the plan, and the manager had no instructions on what to do.
So Qi Jin called the minister over and shouted to the people outside: "It is not convenient for Lord Linhai to see outsiders. You will leave as soon as possible. Don't disturb the nobles here!"
But someone in the crowd shouted: "Linhaijun is the most noble person in the country and the eldest son of the royal family, so he can temporarily represent the royal family.
Nowadays, after the people suffer from mourning and chaos, they bow to Lord Linhai with the royal family in mind, so that they can express their longing for the king and receive the comfort from Lord Linhai.
This is a matter of course, and it is in line with the general principles. What is wrong with it?
Why should the heavenly soldiers stand in the way and obstruct it? Don’t you have a king and a father, so you can’t respect others and be more considerate?”
With such righteousness and reason, the person speaking must be a scholar.
Tongshi could not argue, so he could only say to Qi Jin: "It is certain that someone must have secretly organized and instigated this matter."
With their status, they can only see so much, and even high-level things are not something they can see.
Qi Jin thought for a moment that he only had 200 men under his command, and he still had to dedicate some of them to watch Linhai Lord die. It was obviously not enough to handle them.
So he said to the general: "We are short of manpower, so we can only postpone the attack temporarily! No matter what reason you find, let them come back tomorrow!"
At the same time, he ordered his soldiers to climb over the wall from the other corner to the next courtyard, and then go out through the back door of the next courtyard to ask for help from the city's garrison.
But at this time, a man appeared on the wall of the courtyard next door and said with a smile to Qi Jin: "You seem to be in some trouble and you should need our help."
These courtyards have been requisitioned by the Ming Dynasty and used as residence halls for various Ming Dynasty envoys to rest.
Qi Jin didn't like the man next door named Shen Weijing very much.
This group of people had just arrived in Pyongyang two days ago. They were sneaky and secretive, and refused to tell them their purpose of visit when asked. They left a very bad impression on Qi Jin.
If it weren't for the note from Gai, who had a public relations and defense experience, Qi Jin would have suspected that they were doing it carefully.
At this time, Qi Jin said angrily to Shen Weijing: "How can you help?"
Shen Weijing replied: "As soon as Quan Li arrived in Pyongyang, a large number of people gathered to see Lord Linhai. Do you think it is a coincidence?"
Qi Jin was surprised: "Which Marshal Quan instigated this?"
Shen Weijing said: "I can only tell you that Duke Jinglue hates this person very much, but he has never been able to catch him.
Moreover, Yin Zhuoran, a big figure in North Korea, also judged with certainty that there was definitely something wrong with Quan Li.
So you don't have to be timid at all. As long as you let the official Jin Lue have a clear idea, he will definitely support you.
First, you have to fight on the outside and don't let outsiders see us entering the inner courtyard."
On the wall next to the gate, the general negotiated with the outside for a few more words, but it seemed to have no effect, and the noise outside became even louder.
If Qi Jin understands Korean, he will be able to understand that someone outside is starting to shout: "Why don't you let us meet Mr. Linhai Jun! You soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are just superior and look down on us Koreans!"
The people who were kneeling on the street stood up one by one and crowded towards the courtyard gate.
More than a hundred officers and soldiers on guard in the front yard could immediately hear the door being banged with force.
Everyone realizes that although the crowd outside may be just banging on the door now, under the fervor of the crowd, the door may be pushed down or broken open at any time.
Marshal Kwon Ryukwon, a recent anti-Japanese hero in Korea, was sitting on the branch of a big tree not far away, looking towards the building where Lord Linhai was temporarily staying.
Although this appearance is very unsightly, it is more concealed and practical, so Marshal Quan doesn't care much about it.
When Marshal Quan saw his countrymen starting to storm the door of the museum, a smile subconsciously appeared on his lips.
As long as this group of people can rush into the gate, his plan will be two-thirds successful!
At that time, he will lead his troops and make a shining appearance in time as a rescuer!
In this conflict between a large number of people and a small number of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, only Marshal Quan Quan was the one who could solve the crisis and rescue the small number of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers from the siege of the people.
At the same time, you can also take advantage of the chaos to get Linhai Lord, who is under the strict protection of the Ming Dynasty's official army, into your hands and become your own righteousness and chess piece!
As long as the hype is right, people will think that they have rescued Lord Linhai from the arrogant and rude Ming army, and their prestige will be further enhanced!
Even if the Ming army suffered any damage during the conflict, it was still the fault of a large number of people. What does it have to do with other marshals?
It can even be said that Marshal Quan is the savior of these officers and soldiers in a sense.
In the worst case, killing a group of people as scapegoats would be enough to explain it to the Ming Dynasty.
Then he supported Linhai Jun as the general manager. If Liu Chenglong is willing to cooperate, he will cooperate. If he is not willing to cooperate, he will be abolished. Then he will give orders to all the Korean people!
"Tell Erlang to prepare for dispatch! If the gate is broken, come forward immediately and enter the courtyard directly!" Marshal Quan saw that the situation was good, lowered his head and ordered under the tree.
Just after giving the order, the door to Linhaijun's residence suddenly opened from the inside, and then the dense crowd blocking the door suddenly burst into screams.
Marshal Quan on the tree quickly looked carefully and saw more than a hundred Ming officers and soldiers pouring out of the gate.
The number of people seemed small, but they were extremely brave. Each person held a big stick and swung it fiercely towards the crowd outside the door indiscriminately.
The people in the front row fell to the ground with their heads broken and bleeding, and the people in the back retreated one after another, but were blocked by those further back.
After more than a dozen screams one after another, the crowd seemed to be in an explosion!
More than a hundred people chased hundreds of people in the streets and beat them. Those who were faster on the outside could still escape, but those who were not on the outside were blocked in the streets and could only use their bodies to hit them with wooden sticks.
Marshal Quan saw with his own eyes that a man was pinned down in a corner and beaten six times in less than half a breath!
He is very familiar with this person, he is his own soldier!
At this time, Marshal Quan felt his mind was buzzing. Why was the development of this situation completely different from what he had planned?
There were at least six to seven hundred people at the scene, but none of them rushed into the gate. Instead, they were beaten out by about a hundred Ming officers and soldiers.
You know, in order to ensure that the people rushed into the courtyard, he sent a large number of personal soldiers to mix in the crowd, waiting for opportunities to act as the backbone of the attack!
In the end, it seems that the eggs are of no use. I should be beaten anyway! I haven’t been beaten back at all!
I didn't expect that six to seven hundred people would be such useless people. They didn't even rush in through the gate, and were chased and beaten by a hundred or so heavenly soldiers!
A close confidant shouted anxiously: "Master Quan! What should we do?"
Marshal Quan wakes up. There is no turning back today. He must advance the plot of "fishing out and supporting Lord Linhai" no matter what, otherwise he will have no future!
Jumping down from the tree, Marshal Quan ordered to the people around him: "Move out! Move out! Follow me and move out!"
Immediately, Marshal Quan led his soldiers and hurried towards the scene not far away.
On the way, they stopped some fleeing people and forcibly gathered another three to four hundred people.
This is necessary, and this is proof of public opinion, otherwise there will be no rational excuse for the glory of Marshal Quan.
"Stop! Everyone stop!" Quan Li stood at the entrance of the alley and shouted towards the alley where he was still beating people.
After all, the Ming Dynasty's official army was small in number. Seeing the hurried appearance of a large number of Korean soldiers, they stopped in time, left the wounded on the ground, and slowly returned to the gate of the building.
Quan Li asked most of the soldiers to guard the entrance of the alley, then he strode over the wounded, led the three to four hundred people who had gathered together again, and walked outside the gate of the building.
He understood very well that it was useless no matter how many soldiers he brought, it would be more meaningful to lead a group of common people.
And he opened his mouth to accuse Qi Jin, who was obviously a general: "How can the heavenly soldiers treat our people roughly?"
Qi Shenjiang said nonchalantly: "Otherwise, what can we do? Let them rush in?"
Marshal Quan protested: "They just want to pay homage to Lord Linhai, so what's the fault? The way the heavenly soldiers treat our people is a bit cold."
Qi Shenjiang responded rudely: "Just hit me, what else can I do?"
Marshal Quan pointed to the people behind him and said, "Apologise! We must apologize to the people!"
Qi Shenjiang looked at Quan Li as if he were a fool. His face looked a bit like those civil servants in China, but the problem is that you are not a civil servant from the Celestial Dynasty.
No wonder Shen Weijing said just now that Mr. Jin Lue hates this person very much.
