Ming Zuo

Chapter 893 War is Coming
After accepting North Korea's surrender, Huang Taiji Banshi returned to North Korea
Dorgon will also stay in North Korea for a period of time, waiting to escort the North Korean hostages such as Prince Zhang Zhaoxian and Fenglin Dajun.

The changes in North Korea cannot be hidden from Dorgon's eyes.

"Master, I heard that there is a rebellion in North Korea."

Dorgon went straight to the Korean palace, and no one could stop him, and no one dared to stop him.

Seeing his palace being entered and exited by outsiders at will, Li Zhen's heart was bleeding.

He has no choice but to put on a smiling face.

"It's just some little thieves who can't see the situation clearly. The subordinates have sent soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress them, and they will subside soon."

Dorgon observed Li Zhen's expression, trying to see the clue.

However, Li Zhen is also a master in politics, and his calm appearance made Dorgon unable to notice anything.

When leaving the palace, Dorgon looked at Hanyang, which was extremely deserted, and asked, "Has the royal city of North Korea always been like this?"

Zheng Mingshou said hastily: "I have never been to Hanyang, but I have heard people say that it is very prosperous here."

Dorgon pointed to the empty street.

"So where did everyone go?"

Zheng Mingshou understood.

"The slave will go check it out immediately."

The news that Dorgon came to question quickly spread in North Korean official circles.

"Your Highness, if you don't tell Prince Rui about this matter, will it cause trouble in the future?"

Jin Liu is as timid as a mouse, and doesn't want to take responsibility.

Cui Mingji was always thinking about Li Ying.

"As long as Marshal Du can put down the rebellion as soon as possible, this matter will not cause trouble."

Can Jin Zidian quickly suppress the rebellion?

The monarchs and ministers in the court didn't know that he was not in a good condition at the front line at this time.

After receiving Li Zhen's order, Jin gathered his troops all the way south.

It took him five days to reach Gumi.

This place has entered the territory of Gyeongsang-do, and it is the stronghold of the Western People Party.

Of course Jin Zidian knew the power of the Western People's Party, so he didn't underestimate the enemy, but he was full of energy.

However, the situation he faced was completely unexpected.

"Marshal, the general searched the surroundings, but he couldn't see anyone."

"The forward of the last general has approached Daegu, and it is also empty."

Many situations were reported one after another, which made Jin's scalp tingle.

Jin Shangxian and others have rebels in their hands, he knows it, and he is not very afraid.

After all, the most capable army in North Korea is in his hands.

But the most terrifying thing is not seeing anyone along the way.

You don't know where the enemy is, so always be careful.But if the nerves have been tense for a long time, who can bear it?

The most important thing is...

"Marshal, we are running out of food and grass. We must report to Hanyang immediately to deliver food and grass for us."

The worst consequence of not being able to see people comes.

That is, it is impossible to collect food on the spot.

Jin Zidian's army had been stranded in Miyuan for more than two months, and the food and grass they carried had already been exhausted.

This time going south, I originally thought it was fighting on the mainland and suppressing an unpopular rebellion, so it should be easy to collect food and grass.

But the reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

Along the way, they didn't see many people at all, and all the towns they passed were like ghost lands.Since there are no people, where can we find food?

Once the more than [-] troops run out of food and grass, the consequences will be disastrous.

Jin Zidian's ability to fight is not very good, but he cherishes his life very much.

"Immediately report the situation here to His Highness, and you all have to send scouts to search in all directions, and you must find someone no matter what. It's freezing cold, where can the people hide?"

Jin Zidian's idea is doomed to fail.

He thought that the nearby people had listened to the rumors of rebellion, and all hid in the mountains.The weather is so cold, the people will not be able to hide for long.

But in reality, when they heard that the monarch was going to arrest the people and send them to the Qing Dynasty as slaves, the people were all terrified.

When Kim Sang-heon and others went south, many people rolled up their belongings and went to Busan together.

Today, the banks of the Nakdong River are extremely busy.

Numerous wooden boats ferry back and forth to meet the Korean people across the river.In some places where the river surface was frozen solid, the people swarmed in like ants.

"My lord, I am Lieutenant General Bai Qi, Commander of the Fourth Division of the Xia State Army. Welcome back."

When Bai Xiaoqi was looking at Jin Shangxian, the other party was also looking at him.

Bai Xiaoqi was very curious about this scholar-bureaucrat who was able to figure it out at the last moment and dared to resist the monarch.

I didn't expect that there were also staunch men among the Koreans.

He didn't know that, Jin Shangxian was even more shocked.

Because Bai Xiaoqi in Jin Shangxian's eyes is really too young, he looks similar to his youngest son.

However, such a young man is already a general, the person in charge of the entire Nakdong River defense line.

Jin Shangxian saw with his own eyes that tens of thousands of Xia soldiers had already set up a strict line of defense here.

Although I don't know the strength of Xia Guo's army, but seeing those soldiers all holding muskets, and there are countless artillery behind the fortifications, it makes people feel very safe.

"General Bai, we brought tens of thousands of troops back. With your army, we should be able to win, right?"

On the road of rebellion, Kim Sang-heon's heart is always hanging.

He knew very well what would happen if he failed.

At this time, as a leader, the only person he can seek peace of mind with is Xia Guo.

Bai Xiaoqi didn't give him an answer on the spot, but looked helplessly at the rickety North Korean troops.

"My lord, with all due respect, these armies are useless. I need to reorganize these armies, weed out the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, and then train them strictly before I can send them into the battlefield."

Hearing that Bai Xiaoqi was going to do something to the army he brought, Jin Shangxian was quite reluctant.

"Although these troops cannot be compared with the Heavenly Army, they are our own Korean troops. They will fight bravely to resist the faint king."

Bai Xiaoqi didn't want to argue with him, but took out the voucher.

"This is an order from His Royal Highness King Xia. I will officially take over all the troops in Busan. Lord Judge, please remember that everything we do is to protect the Koreans from becoming slaves and to live a healthy life for generations to come. .”

Facing the order signed by Zuo Menggeng, Jin Shangxian was under great pressure.

The situation was like this, and he didn't know how to argue.

Bai Xiaoqi didn't have time to delay, so he started directly.

"Zhang Guanhua, old Li Yuan!"

"To!"

The two officers of the Korean rebel army immediately came out.

Bai Xiaoqi arranged tasks for the two of them.

"Your subordinates are all Koreans, and they are more familiar with each other. Therefore, from now on, the North Korean rebels will be responsible for leading all North Korean troops. You must screen all soldiers, select qualified soldiers, and start training from scratch. Remember Well, there is not much time left for you. One month at most, I want to see that these North Korean soldiers can master basic combat skills."

It was very difficult, but Zhang Guanhua and Li Yuanlao did not bargain.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

Seeing that Bai Xiaoqi did not arbitrarily control the North Korean army, but handed it over to the North Korean rebel army, this made Jin Shangxian and others feel more balanced.

After all, the Korean Rebel Army was also established with their support, and the vast majority of the army was composed of Koreans.

As far as they want to come, all this is still within the scope of control.

Bai Xiaoqi didn't give them too many opportunities to investigate, but said: "Everyone, His Highness King Xia has arrived in Busan and is waiting for your arrival."

Hearing that Zuo Menggeng actually came in person, Jin Shangxian and others were shocked, but at the same time they were extremely encouraged.

Since Zuo Menggeng came in person, it means that Xia Guo attaches great importance to North Korea's affairs.

At this moment, they finally saw the dawn of North Korea getting rid of the slavery of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
