Jin Mingde is a famous warrior in the Longwu Army. He is seven feet tall, with broad shoulders and a bulging belly. He is good at using a three-pronged fork weighing 20 kilograms. It is said that when he swings it, he can kill a cow with one blow.
This man had been the leader of Cui Zhongxian's domestic servants in his early years. One day, political opponents in the court gathered more than a hundred monks and soldiers in an attempt to ambush Cui Zhongxian. As a result, Jin Mingde swept them away with a three-pronged fork, killing more than ten people and the rest of the monks.
flight.
Because of this meritorious service, Jin Mingde was continuously promoted by Cui Zhongxian in the next ten years, and became the deputy general of Longwu Army in one breath.
In Goryeo, servants and the like have always been untouchables. If ordinary people want to become officials, they must check their household registration. Only if their ancestors have not been involved with untouchables for eight generations can they take office. Officials above the common people are divided into civil and military classes, and they have been secretly maintained for generations.
.So among the scholars and common people, the hierarchy was very strict, just like a natural chasm.
Jin Mingde was able to start from a servant and become a lieutenant general in the Longwu Army. He was promoted along the way and broke many iron laws passed down from generation to generation. It was inevitable that the two squads would look at him and secretly laugh at him for being unbecoming. But Cui Xiang was biased.
With overwhelming power, he accomplished it, which also contributed to Jin Mingde's arrogance.
Since taking office, Kim Myung-deok, the deputy general of the Longwu Army, has always regarded his status as similar to that of the main general Cui Junwen.
Cui Junwen has no complaints about this.
In recent years, the integration of Cui's court has been getting closer and closer day by day. Even his younger brother Cui Zhongcui and his former ally Park Jincai have not let go, in order to ensure that their own power is as monolithic.
His fight for and infiltration of the king's second army and six guards was also promoted through several channels at the same time. Scholar-bureaucrats like Choi of Gyeongju went to the upper levels, and low-ranking warriors like Kim Myung-deok went to the lower levels. It can be said that they reached the same goal through different paths.
Don't mind it too much.
Think about it from another angle, with Cui Xiang’s heroic temperament, if he didn’t have Jin Mingde as his deputy, how could he completely trust the Longwu Army? If he didn’t trust the Longwu Army, the Longwu Army would have to fight with other troops of the imperial court.
Like a horse, it would be really unlucky to go to Qingsai, Pinglu and other cities to fight against the Khitan people!
It would be better to welcome the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin as we are now.
I heard that fighting has been going on in the Jin Kingdom in the past few years. The Tatars in the north rebelled, and the remaining Khitan people in the east also raised troops and revolted one after another, so that the Jurchens were in a state of distress. When we had a confrontation with the group of Khitan escapees earlier,
The prisoners were captured and questioned, and it turned out that the Jurchens' national affairs had now fallen into the hands of a Han.
They also said that the man was extremely tough and tough to handle.
It seems that although the Jurchens' national power has declined to the extreme, the Khitan people have not shown signs of revival. Isn't this a good opportunity for the rise of Goryeo?
Therefore, Prime Minister Cui ordered the Longwu Army to select elite cavalry and take the initiative to cross the border between Jin and Goryeo to meet the Jin envoy. This move was somewhat of a test and a demonstration, at least to give the envoy a try.
to make preparations for future achievements.
On a certain day, if Prime Minister Cui has arranged everything for the opening of the capital, and when the arrow is ready, he can go north to expand the territory and win meritorious deeds worthy of the Zen Dynasty.
Although this Jin Mingde doesn’t know how high the sky is, he still has a lot of energy to use. After a while, he faced off against an envoy from the Kingdom of Jin. If he can make the other party surrender, I, Cui Junwen, will take the credit; if he goes out of his way, the blame will also fall on Jin. I
As long as he apologizes humbly and then severely punishes Jin Mingde, I think it will make the envoys of the higher country feel comfortable.
At that moment, Cui Junwen smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed: "General Jin, look, further ahead is where the General Manager's Office on Posu Road of the Jin Kingdom is located. This large open plain on both sides of the Yalu River has been our country's Goryeo for thousands of years.
It is under the jurisdiction of Baozhou Road in the country. The first fifteen miles is Laiyuan City of Goryeo, and not far to the north is Kaiyuan City of Goryeo."
"It turns out that these places belong to our Kingdom of Korea."
"It used to be true in the early years, but now... it's not true for the time being."
Cui Junwen continued: "Back then, our Kingdom of Goryeo unified the three Koreas and surrendered the Bohai Sea. It had a territory of thousands of miles in the north. It was called a great power unprecedented in ancient and modern times. However, the Khitan became strong first, forcing our country to withdraw from the six states in Jiangdong.
, and set up the Thousand Miles of Great Wall as a barrier. Later the Jurchens rose..."
"The Jurchens are the Kingdom of Jin." Lan
"Yes!" Cui Junwen nodded repeatedly: "General Jin, do you know that the Jurchen ancestor's name is Hanpu, and he is a Korean, so all the Jurchen tribes are branches of our Kingdom of Korea. However, they are wild and untamed, but they oppress
Our country has repeatedly raised troops to fight with us. From this, the Jin Kingdom has Posu Road, Haolan Road, Supin Road, and Huli Diversion Road. If our Kingdom of Goryeo wants to restore its homeland, it must start step by step from now on!
"
At this point, Cui Junwen patted Jin Mingde's shoulder hard: "I raised my troops here to rely on the general's bravery to show my invincible momentum of Goryeo!"
"I will handle it."
Jin Mingde raised his hand and knocked on the armor and stomach on his chest to show his strength: "Look at the abandoned fields and scattered people around here. The Jin Kingdom has weakened, and I am not afraid of them!"
"good!"
Cui Junwen applauded and praised.
Jin Mingde is right, there is really no need to be afraid.
I heard that after the Jurchens in the Central Plains were defeated by the Black Tartars, they were in very short supply of cavalry. I heard from Song maritime merchants gathered in Kaijing that Jurchens from all over the Northeast sold a large number of war horses to the Song Dynasty in order to make money. This time with
The Longwu Army cavalry I have come are all elite, with a total of three hundred cavalry. With this strength, who are you afraid of?
Of course, if you want to fight a real war, you won't be able to do it. But if you just need to show off your authority in front of the Jin envoys, it will be easy. At least, it will be much easier than those colleagues who are fighting with the Khitans.
At this time, the cavalry from the front team came to report: "General, we are meeting the Jurchen envoy!"
"How many men and horses do they have?"
"More than twenty riders are resting at the water ring on the slope five miles ahead. They asked me to bring the messenger's silver medal as proof and give it to the general for inspection!"
Cui Junwen tested the silver medal: "It turns out he is a doctor in the left and right department."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He looked at Jin Mingde.
Jin Mingde raised his chest and urged his horse: "I will take a hundred horses to arrest them!"
"Ahem, please come, please. General Jin, you have to say this."
Cui Junwen hurriedly explained the words, and Jin Mingde laughed loudly, waved his hand, and led the cavalry away with a loud noise.
The cavalry ran like the wind, and in a moment they arrived at the water ring on the slope mentioned by the front team. Sure enough, they saw more than 20 people. They tied their horses in the forest and let them eat grass.
Rugs were spread out under several big trees, pretending to be taking a lunch break.
Jin Mingde rode his horse forward, letting the horse's hooves kick up smoke and dust, which made the group of people sitting on the carpet cough repeatedly.
"Are you all the envoys of the above country? Jin Mingde, the lieutenant general of the Koryo Kingdom's Longwu Army, is here to greet you! Please come with me, envoys of the superior country!" Jin Mingde shouted loudly. The interpreter beside him also followed.
call out.
Li Yun waved his hand and looked through the smoke at the bearded Korean man sitting on the horse.
"This place is the express road of the Great Jin Kingdom. Even if you want to welcome us, there is no reason to go deep into the territory of the Great Jin Kingdom without authorization."
Jin Mingde laughed loudly: "Envoy of the State, we heard that the war in the territory of the State has been incessant in recent years and it is very dangerous, so we specially welcomed them from a distance. We are also familiar with these places, so the envoy of the State can rest assured that we have
Now, there is no need to worry about safety along the way! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s hit the road now!”
"I see, it's a trouble for your country's soldiers."
Li Yun nodded and said calmly: "It's good to have someone to protect you. But don't worry, General Jin. Just wait a moment."
