Chapter 1378 Emperor Chongping: Good, good, Ziyu is really a victorious general
ah.
North Korea, Wang Jing
In the evening, Jia Heng also returned from the ancestral hall and came to where he was staying in the backyard of the Uijeongbu. As soon as he crossed the threshold and entered the wing, he looked up and saw Gu Ruoqing dressed in a flying fish suit.
Gu Ruoqing's Yingli eyebrows were filled with worry, her cold eyes were full of concern, and she said, "Have you finished your business outside?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "There are so many things to do to deal with the aftermath, how can I possibly finish it all? However, after the Lantern Festival, we will return to Beijing."
While talking, he sat down on an imperial chair in the hall.
Gu Ruoqing walked slowly and slowly behind Jia Heng. At this moment, he was helping the young man in the python suit hold his shoulders with his hands and said, "Is it okay to leave the situation in North Korea to that little prince Mu?"
Jia Heng also relaxed a little and said softly: "Let him take charge of North Korea-related affairs. After we celebrate the Lantern Festival, we will set off by boat."
Although he and Gu Ruoqing were together, they actually didn't spend much time cultivating their relationship.
Gu Ruoqing said "hmm", a look of longing appeared in her beautiful eyes, and said: "When you go back this time, aren't you going to Gaizhou and Haizhou to meet your junior sister?"
Jia Heng said: "She is in Gaizhou and Haizhou, helping to lead the troops. It's okay to go there."
He was still hesitating whether to let Xiaoxiao take him back. If he defeated Liaodong without Xiaoxiao in the capital, it would be inconvenient to let him know.
What if he is fighting on the front line and something new happens in the capital? If he doesn't know the intelligence in the capital, his eyes will be black.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Ruoqing stretched out his slender hand and waved it in front of Jia Heng's eyes, with some confusion on his face.
Jia Heng said: "I didn't think about anything. I just want to go back."
After returning home, if Emperor Chongping proposes a reward, he will grant Miaoyu a royal title as his wife.
After all, I gave birth to two children of my own.
Of course, maybe Tianniuer will give Song Yan a marriage to him. After all, this is also a reason for the marriage.
…
…
In the next few days, as the royal capital of Joseon was breached, the crown prince of the Joseon king, Li Yuan, who was originally in exile, also embarked on a journey back to the royal capital from Chungju in Chungcheong Province.
Later, the message from Wang Jing of North Korea was issued in Hamgyeong Province and Hwanghae Province. After receiving the promise from the court to "kill only the head of the family and not asking about the rest," the local political elites in North Korea also expressed their sincerity to Wang Jing's Korean parliamentary government.
.
On the third day after that, Jia Heng held a grand ceremony to worship the Emperor Xiaozong of Korea, Li Hao. He used the head of Ao Bai, the Manchu general of the Qing Dynasty, to worship Emperor Xiaozong of Korea and the loyal ministers and martyrs who died, and to build a foundation for the Tatar rebellion.
A monument was built to commemorate the dead soldiers and civilians, thereby attracting the hearts of ordinary Korean people, soldiers, civilians and scholars.
In the nineteenth year of Chongping, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month——
On this day, Jia Heng set up an office in Wangjing City, mainly to conduct a comprehensive review of North Korea's military equipment.
North Korea's military and military institutions are divided into five military camps (training capital prison, imperial camp hall, imperial guard camp, Rong hall, and garrison hall), and three inner halls (inner imperial guards, concurrent servants, and Habayashi guards).
Training Institute, Shi Ziyi Guards Department, Guards Department, Robbery Department, Zhenfu Camp, Management Camp, Longhu Camp, etc.
There were many soldiers and horses, the management was chaotic, and the generals were severely constrained. There were probably more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, which was extremely difficult for the Han generals to control and manage.
This is obviously inconsistent with Jia Heng's established national policy strategy of "cutting down North Korea's troops, including its territory and population, to consolidate the Han state."
After Jia Heng took over Wang Jing, he first laid off soldiers and streamlined the organization.
The fifth military camp only retains the imperial camp hall, the imperial guard camp and the garrison hall, which are called the first camp and the second hall.
Thirty thousand Han generals from the navy served as the general manager of the capital, and three generals from Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsangdo served as the capital promotion. They selected the elite Korean soldiers and gathered more than 100,000 Korean troops to meet the needs of the Northern Expedition.
Among the three inner halls, only one inner imperial guard house is retained, which is called the inner guard house.
The officers and generals are composed of Jinyifu guards and Beijing camp generals, with nearly 10,000 troops and horses to guard the palace city.
For this reason, the Zhenfu Camp, Management Camp, Longhu Camp and other designations were gradually abolished, and only the Guard and Robbery Bureaus were retained to maintain public security in Wangjing City and provide protection (monitoring) for officials.
Its main purpose is to seek centralized command of North Korea's soldiers, horses and Han Dynasty. If there are too many soldiers and horses, they will easily be controlled by many people and interfere with the mobilization of soldiers.
This was the method used by the King of Joseon to balance the forces of various military leaders and prevent military orders and military power from coming from one branch, which would threaten the royal power.
This obviously goes against Dahan's strategy of centralized management and deployment.
For this reason, the concentration of military power and the banner raised were naturally conducive to the Northern Expedition, the conquest of Liaodong, and revenge for Xiaozong and the people who were killed.
From a legal point of view, there is nothing wrong with this.
During the Korean Rebellion, the Jurchen Tatars burned, killed, raped, and plundered various prefectures in Korea, which can be said to have greatly aroused the anger of the Korean people.
However, this move undoubtedly aroused doubts and vigilance in North Korea's political affairs, Jin Yu. Today, accompanied by several servants, he came to the official office where Jia Heng was located, wanting to test Jia Heng's attitude.
Official office, in the meeting hall——
Jia Heng looked at Jin Yu and said: "Jin Yizheng is not in the city to appease the people and scholars, how come he has time to come to me?"
After Wang Jing's city was destroyed, the people and scholars in the city gradually returned to the city.
Jin Yu smiled and said: "Gong Wei, I have something unclear, so I specifically asked Duke Wei for advice."
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, gently fiddled with the foam, and said, "Jin Yizheng, what is unclear about you?"
Jin Yu said: "Recently, the Three Dao Army Generals mentioned that there were originally three Dao troops, but the Duke of Wei wanted to be placed under the management of the Han Army. The two sides do not understand each other's language. I don't know how to coordinate the army?"
Jia Heng put down the tea cup and said calmly: "Jin Yizheng didn't know something. This was just to jointly command and deploy in order to annihilate Liaodong. Besides, the previous rebels had rebelled against the royal family. If they were not abolished or dispersed, they would just
Integrating it into the army will only affect the stability of North Korea, and the supply of grain and fodder in the treasury will not be enough."
The loyalty of Gui Sizhe and the troops in Wang Jingcheng was obviously doubted.
"Regardless of the troops in the fifth military camp, the three inner halls are the soldiers guarding the royal family. Why did Duke Wei make adjustments this time?" Jin Yu couldn't help but ask.
Jia Heng said sternly: "This time Wang Jingcheng was destroyed. Many military generals and aristocratic families rebelled against the Korean Dynasty and carried out rebellions. It can be seen that some Korean soldiers and generals are restless. I, a big man, plan for the Li family, so I should do it."
Protect the royal family."
He wants to use this to fully control the political situation in North Korea. Of course, this will not happen overnight and requires time to prepare and lay the groundwork.
Hearing this, Jin Yu stared at the boy in the python suit. For a moment, he felt a chill in his heart.
If you still don’t know what Duke Wei is planning, then you have really lived in vain for so many years.
In particular, there is already a lesson learned from Japan.
This is to station troops and then control the political situation in North Korea, thereby strengthening control over North Korea.
But at this time, the Han army was so powerful that people under the eaves had to bow their heads.
Although Jin Yu was angry, he calmed down and was ready to think about strategies to break the situation, or how to get rid of the Han Dynasty's control of North Korea after annihilating Liaodong.
In this way, the previous efforts to win over the powerful families in those local governments were indeed a way of gathering the power of North Korea to plan for future independence.
Jia Heng said: "Jin Yizheng, what are you thinking about?"
This old fox must be thinking about how to get rid of the Han's control over North Korea, probably by contacting the entire force of North Korea to seek independence after the Han annihilates Liaodong.
However, his previous solicitation and kindness to the Korean elite will become Jin Yu's crime in the future.
At this moment, both sides have thought about the future direction of North Korea's political situation.
Jin Yu changed his words and asked: "Duke Wei, I wonder when the Han army will launch its troops to annihilate Liaodong this time?"
Jia Heng said softly: "In March next year, Governor Mu will be in charge of North Korea. He will be responsible for raising food and training troops and horses, and supplementary matters. I hope Jin Yinzheng can help."
The day before yesterday, he had submitted a memorial to Beijing, appointing Mu Sheng as the governor-general of North Korea and Japan to take charge of military and political affairs in North Korea and Japan.
This is undoubtedly an attempt to win over the forces of Prince Dongping, or in other words, at his level, he should make some arrangements at the local and central level.
Jin Yu said: "Don't worry, Lord Wei, the Jurchen Tatars are the feudal enemy of our country. They want to enslave our Korean people. We, the whole country, will definitely fight with them to the end."
When Jia Heng heard this, his heart moved slightly. Jin Yu's words seemed more like he was speaking to a big man.
But, where did the Korean people come from? And how many of them were Han Chinese a long time ago?
Jia Heng said: "Jin Yizheng, in addition to setting up a port in Incheon, the two countries will strengthen maritime trade, allowing silk and tea sets from the Central Plains to be transported to North Korea, which will also alleviate the livelihood difficulties of the North Korean people. What does Jin Yizheng think?"
The land of Incheon is close to the sea, and can be used as a trading port with the Han Dynasty, Shandong and other places to complete the economic colonization and cargo dumping of North Korea.
As time goes by, economic dependence will become integrated.
Jin Yu listened to what the young man in the python suit said, and became increasingly wary. But now that the young prince had a strong attitude, Jin Yu should not disobey him, so he had to respond: "It is a good thing that the two countries can strengthen exchanges.
Son."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "The construction of the Incheon Port was made possible by the North Korean puppet soldiers who surrendered this time. They rebelled against the court. Although the North Korean royal family and the court will no longer be guilty of the crime, they can be exempted from the death penalty.
There is no escape from the crime, they should go to the port to build the Incheon Port."
When Jin Yu heard this, Cang's voice responded.
Jia Heng looked at the absent-minded Jin Yu. He didn't know that the old man was already worried, but he didn't take it seriously.
After Jin Yu left, Gu Ruoqing came to the side and said softly: "Will this cause the dissatisfaction of the North Korean minister?"
Jia Heng said: "Dissatisfied? There is dissatisfaction after all. It's just that I came all the way to fight the Jurchen Tatars, and I am not a Bodhisattva."
Gu Ruoqing said: "Then will North Korea interfere with the imperial court's war to annihilate Liaodong?"
Jia Heng said coldly: "They don't dare. If North Korea does that, it will really have nothing to rely on, and the only way to go is to destroy the country."
North Korea's only chance is to rely on the changes in the political situation of the Han Dynasty, such as the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked, and the bird dies and the bow is hidden.
For example, if he failed in the court struggle or was jealous of Emperor Chongping, then the new person in power might not give North Korea such a high-pressure posture.
Here, Jin Yu left the official office where Jia Heng was and got on the carriage. Under his white beard, the expression on his old face suddenly turned gloomy.
Does he really think he doesn’t know the Han Dynasty’s intentions?
This is to completely control North Korea!
Jin Yu's old palms tightly grasped the handlebars on the side to calm down the angry mood in his heart.
But compared to the arrogance of the Jurchen Tatars, the Han Dynasty was very smart and feminine. Everything was done in the name of good for North Korea, but it controlled the military and politics of North Korea silently.
Jin Yu closed his eyes slightly and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.
After waiting for a while, Jin Yu's thin face was as solemn as water, his old eyes were shining, and he already had an idea in his mind.
The political situation of the Han Dynasty has always been unpredictable and unpredictable, and it is hard to say whether the Duke of Wei will be able to end his life successfully if he really annihilates Liaodong. Even if he can save his wealth and life, according to the political rules of the Celestial Kingdom, he will probably be put aside in cold storage.
.
If North Korea no longer wields power, then the control over North Korea will be relaxed a lot. At that time, North Korea will have an opportunity to become independent again.
Now, we still have to endure the humiliation and bear the burden.
…

Dahan, Shenjing City
In the palace garden——
Emperor Chongping was wearing a bright yellow royal robe. Under the sunlight, his cheeks were sunken on both sides. He was sitting in the hall and was reviewing a memorial in his hand.
As Jia Heng led his troops to Liaodong, Haizhou and Gaizhou were occupied by the Han army, and it was possible to conquer Liaodong.
Emperor Chongping rekindled his desire to show off his martial arts skills to future generations.
For example, the former emperor Longzhi once compiled the "Longzhi Huidian" to compile and compile the edicts and political documents during his reign, making it a reference for the world.
Recently, Lu Li, the chief academician of the Hanlin Academy, sent a memorial to compile a book covering a subset of classics and history, which undoubtedly suited Emperor Chongping's wishes.
Therefore, the Hanlin Academy was ordered to take charge of this matter, and it was designated as the "Chongping Complete Book". It collected various folk classics and history, agricultural, industrial, medical, horoscopes, etc., and included them all.
Lu Li became the chief executive officer of the book, which obviously corresponded to what Lu Li had in mind. When the book was completed, he would gain prestige and advance to a higher level in his official career.
And because of the battle report that concluded that Jia Heng would be defeated in the northwest battle, those past stains gradually disappeared with the wind.
In other words, no stain can be offset by time.
Emperor Chongping put down the memorial at this moment, and under his thin, loose eyebrows, there was a hint of thinking in his eyes.
As the Chongping New Deal has been implemented in the local area for two years, it has produced explosive power. The state treasury is well-endowed, and Henan Province is prosperous and prosperous.
At this moment, Dai Quan stepped forward slowly, with a look of thoughtfulness on his fair face, and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li Ge and Mr. Gao Ge are already waiting at Wuying Hall."
Emperor Chongping's face paused slightly, nodded, and said: "I will go over right now."
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Go to Jinyi Mansion and see if Duke Wei's memorial and military report have been delivered?"
Dai Quan responded and whispered: "I will send someone to Jinyi Mansion to inquire about the situation."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said nothing else, but stood up and walked towards Wuying Hall.
As time passed, the Han Dynasty court was also looking forward to what new battle reports Jia Heng could deliver in Liaodong and North Korea.
Daming Palace, Wuying Palace——
At this moment, Emperor Chongping was dressed in royal robes, with a solemn face. He stepped into the palace, stared at Li Zan and Gao Zhongping, and sat down.
Li Zan and Gao Zhongping walked a few steps quickly, saluted Emperor Chongping, and said loudly: "I have seen your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said warmly: "Two beloved ladies, please rise."
As time passed and the New Deal of the Han Dynasty advanced rapidly, Li Zan and Gao Zhongping also focused their attention on the war between Liaodong and North Korea.
Emperor Chongping sat down and pondered: "Since the beginning of spring last year, the local military headquarters has been comprehensively reorganized. Is there any latest achievement in the Ministry of War?"
The military system of the Han Dynasty has continuously won victories in foreign wars since the reorganization of the Beijing camp. This reorganization and anti-corruption trend has gradually spread to the local capital guards.
The Ministry of War and the Military Aircraft Division have sorted out the guard system across the country, and have severely dealt with military generals who have committed crimes such as embezzlement of military pay, encroachment on grain fields in military camps, and misappropriation of special funds for ordnance.
And after so many years, the military leader of the local guard station far away from Emperor Tiangao has long been the local emperor. There are so many shortcomings in military and military administration. You won't know if you don't investigate. If you investigate, you will be shocked.
From the purchase of arms and armor, to the corruption of military garrison grain fields, to the military pay allocated by North Korea, local military leaders were fed up.
Throughout the 19th year of Chongping, several major cases broke out. First, the commander of the Huguang capital was imprisoned, and then the commander of the Jiangxi capital was also dismissed one after another.
It is a normal thing for a local health center to be wiped out and inspected.
The powerful local military leaders were trembling, but they could not make waves at all. After the Beijing camp won consecutive victories in foreign wars, the world was as safe as a rock.
Then, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places also followed suit. The anti-corruption storm surrounding the military, government and health system became more intense under the auspices of Li Zan, the first assistant to the cabinet, and with the assistance of Gao Zhongping, the second assistant to the cabinet.
Compared with Jia Heng's rectification of the Beijing camp and the Jiangnan camp, which mainly focused on returning stolen goods and recovering them, Li Zan and Gao Zhongping were extremely courageous and showed no mercy at all against corrupt soldiers who would confiscate their homes and behead their heads.
Of course, this is also this time and that time.
The initial reorganization of the two camps was more focused on stability and involved a battle of tactics at the top.
The main thing is not to cause major turmoil, and to use the central government to influence the local governments is like an adult beating a child. No matter how powerful the local military generals are, they will have no power to fight back.
Li Zan said loudly: "The crews of all military aircraft have returned to the capital one after another, and the troops and horses of the local guard station have been organized."
Emperor Chongping said: "In recent years, the local military and political affairs have been corrupted. Now the morale has been reduced, and the fighting power has also been reduced."
It can be said that Emperor Chongping felt that the rapid development in the past few years was more effective than the powerful man who had been in power in the previous ten years.
And all this lies in the victory of foreign wars, which promoted the motivation for internal reform.
Gao Zhongping said: "Your Majesty, several ports were previously congested with cargo ships. This year, the cabinet has decided to open several more ports in Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places, and add customs to return trade."
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said loudly: "I have approved this matter in principle. However, Beijing Wang Shuirong and Jia Ziyu proposed to raise funds to establish a naval fleet to uniformly protect maritime trade and open up maritime territories. What do you two dear ministers think?"
Gao Zhongping cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that after Liaodong is destroyed and the Nine Borders are properly dismantled, it will not be too late to establish another one."
It is not that all the Nine Borders have been abolished, but it is obvious that one border town cannot have nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the number of soldiers and horses must be greatly reduced.
While the monarch and his ministers were discussing with each other, suddenly, an internal eunuch from outside entered the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei's urgent military reports and memorials from 600 miles away have arrived in the capital."
After such a long time, Jia Heng's battle report in North Korea was finally delivered to the capital.
Emperor Chongping was about to say something. Hearing this, he looked overjoyed and said, "Dai Quan, go and bring the man back."
After a while, the red-feathered messenger who reported the news entered the inner study, took out the military report from the recruitment bag on his body, and delivered it through Dai Quan.
At this moment, Emperor Chongping took the military newspaper and couldn't wait to read it. He finished reading ten lines at a glance, and then read it twice more. His dark and thin face could not hide the joy.
He praised repeatedly: "Good, good, Ziyu is really a victorious general."
Since the beginning of the expedition, he has rarely suffered a defeat. What is he if he is not a victorious general?
At this moment, when Li Zan and Gao Zhongping heard what Emperor Chongping said, their hearts moved slightly and their faces showed joy.
Looking at this situation, Duke Wei should have won another battle, but I don't know whether it was Liaodong or North Korea.
It can be said that this is also the reason why the two cabinet ministers insisted on waiting for Jia Heng to come back and lead the troops to ping Liao, because this kind of sense of security could not be given by any martial artist in the Han Dynasty.
This is a victorious general. As long as Jia Heng leads the troops, the war will be safe. Just wait for the victory.
This feeling will not shake unless one day, Jia Heng suffers a defeat.
Emperor Chongping met the expectant looks of the two cabinet ministers and said happily: "Li Qing, Gao Qing, and Ziyu were in North Korea, they mobilized Japanese naval forces, and allied with the North Korean forces to regain Wang Jingcheng, and killed the leading general Ao Bai.
After defeating nearly 10,000 Jurchen troops, our great Han Dynasty has regained the royal capital of Korea."
Emperor Chongping was not surprised by the capture of Wang Jingcheng, but the main reason was to annihilate the Jurchens again.
There are nearly 10,000 Jurchen Tatars. The Jurchens are originally a small country with few soldiers. If they continue to be weakened like this, how much wealth can they still have?
