The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 362

Park Yuanzong was quite frightened.

If he was the only one who took refuge in Da Ming and Da Ming supported him, most of his family could be preserved, because the king of North Korea did not dare to openly oppose Da Ming.

But if they go back and rebel...if that doesn't happen, they will be wiped out even if they don't get wiped out.

Tang Yin was also very speechless about this, he said: "My task is to go to your capital as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and question why your monarch is treacherous, and your monarch has colluded with Jianzhou and Haixi .”

"This...it's impossible."

Even if Pu Yuanzong hated Yanshan Lord Li again, he didn't think that Li would collude with the Jurchens.

Tang Yin asked: "Then why, you clearly agreed to send troops to conquer Jurchen, but in the end you gave up halfway?"

"that is because……"

Park Yuanzong originally wanted to say that it was because of a disaster in our country. The 5000 people who came out with you had no food to eat. If tens of thousands of troops were to be recruited at once, wouldn't they all starve to death on the way?How else to fight?

But Pu Yuanzong also has brains.

He soon realized that the so-called collusion was just an excuse to depose Li.

You don’t need to have it, as long as Daming thinks you have it.

Park Yuanzong said: "It is best to have evidence for what the superior said, otherwise, people in North Korea will not believe it."

"Ah."

Tang Yin felt that Pu Yuanzong was also very good.

At least understand that now it is necessary to use Li's collusion with Jurchen to question the legitimacy of Li Guozhu's position, so that Park Yuanzong can contact those who oppose Li and make things happen together.

"There will always be evidence. If you won this battle with Daming, you are a hero. Daming will give you the status of Deputy Marshal of Liaodong Army and Horse, and let you lead the troops back to Hanyang City." Tang Yin said.

Deputy Marshal?
Or Liaodong?

Pu Yuanzong tentatively asked softly: "Is it a gift from His Majesty Daming?"

Tang Yindao: "Of course, it will be given to you by the Duke of Lai, and His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will give you a formal canonization later."

"That...that..."

Pu Yuanzong thought about it for a while, and felt that he was being roasted on the fire now, and there was no way to survive back to North Korea. He would go back if he continued to work with Tang Yin. Now it depends on whether Daming will support him.

It seems that with the support of the heavenly kingdom, he can rely on more, but if he wants to directly overthrow Li's rule with this few people in his hand... No matter how you look at it, it's like a fly shaking a tree.

……

……

"Bohu, do we have to go to Hanyang City again?"

After Xu Jing heard the news, he was also shocked.

However, when he learned from Tang Yin that they were not only going to Hanyang City, but also questioning and attacking Li, and might even complete a palace coup, Xu Jing's face turned pale.

"I think, let's find a way to go back." Xu Jing lowered his head and said.

"Where are you going back?"

Tang Yin asked back.

Xu Jingdao: "Beijing, Jiangnan, if you don't want to go back to Gusu, didn't you once say that the life of growing peach blossoms described by Zhang Bingkuan is what you want? It's better for us to go back like this than to lose our lives in Liaodong. If it fails, you and I will be crushed."

Tang Yin closed his eyes, and said with a disinterested look on his face: "Perhaps someone just wants me to be crushed, so as to get an excuse to send troops to attack North Korea?"

"..." Xu Jing was speechless.

Tang Yin sighed: "You don't have to go with me, you are not an official of the envoy, I have to go this time, plus I am an envoy of Ming Dynasty, they may not dare to do anything to me, or they will Take me as a hostage and negotiate with Daming."

Xu Jing thought about it, nodded and said: "That's right, how dare the Koreans kill the Ming envoy so easily."

"But I'm not going to be an envoy this time, I'm going to help them rebel." Tang Yin gave up on himself a bit.

Xu Jingdao: "It's not the same. In fact, it was Pu Yuanzong who wanted to rebel, and you didn't know it. If it failed, you just said that. What can the lord of North Korea do to you? And now that the Duke of Lai has suppressed the army, They must also be afraid of disputes between the two countries, and they will definitely not dare to do anything to you and the soldiers of Daming, and will send you back to the territory of Daming."

Tang Yin frowned upon hearing this.

What about "you" and "us", obviously Xu Jing himself does not intend to go to Hanyang City with him again.

Tang Yin asked: "Father Heng, are you sure you won't walk with me?"

The look in the eyes is eager, which means, don't we say that we have the same blessings and the same difficulties?Now that you know that I am going to take risks, you are going to run away?
Xu Jingdao: "Bohu, don't you still have family members? I will definitely help you take care of them, and I will wait for you... good news in Liaodong."

"..." This time it was Tang Yin's turn to be speechless.

……

……

Tang Yin would not force Xu Jing to go to die with him, so when he found that Xu Jing didn't want to go, he didn't force him.

But there are some things that the two brothers can't choose.

On April [-]th, a group of people drove in to Duobi City, and sent letters to the Ming and Korean coalition forces stationed in the city in advance, explaining that they were sending food and supplies to the army.

Tang Yin also specially asked Pu Yuanzong to go out of the city with him to greet him, because he felt that Zhang Zhou sent him "funds" to help them "rebel".

If you want to rebel, you must not go hungry, and you have to give them some firearms or something.

"Tang Shangchai, are you sure there will be Mighty Sky Gunpowder? I heard that with that thing, even the strongest city walls can be blown down. If we have this thing, we will have a better chance of winning."

Pu Yuanzong's eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept well for several days, and he was entangled in the rebellion.

Tang Yin glanced at him and said: "Even if it's not in the military supplies, the yellow soil I brought is what it is. It may not be possible to achieve great things, but it shouldn't be a problem to blow up a palace gate."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Pu Yuanzong was already very thin, but after Tang Yin's intimidation, his entire face and facial features seemed to burst due to thinness.

……

……

Inside the barracks of Daming outside the city.

Five thousand Ming soldiers arrived, and there were grain transporters transporting grain to Duobi City, and they were all polished rice and noodles.

Tang Yin was still thinking about who led this group of people, but found a fairly familiar figure in the crowd, it was Zhu Feng, who had worked with him in the martial arts hall.

"Marquis An Bian?" Tang Yin was surprised.

Zhu Feng actually came in person?

When Pu Yuanzong heard this, his whole back straightened up.

Marquis Anbian's reputation and prestige in North Korea in the past year was close to that of Marquis Weining Wangyue, and he was vaguely the right-hand man of Lai Guogong Zhang Zhou, worthy of respect.

Zhu Feng walked over, with a smirk on his face and no vigilance: "It's Tang Jiaoxi, it's been a long time, this time I'm here to deliver military supplies."

Pu Yuanzong couldn't help taking a look at Tang Yin when he heard this.

Although Tang Yin was an envoy of Daming, Pu Yuanzong actually looked down on Tang Yin in his heart, thinking that Daming just randomly found a new Jinshi to come here, but seeing that even a powerful figure like An Bianhou was so polite to Tang Yin, He began to realize that since Daming dared to send Tang Yin to carry out "big things", Tang Yin should have a strange ability.

Reminiscent of what happened to them in the past few months, despite a strong headwind, they still stood firm and successfully waited for Daming's reinforcements to complete the set task.

Can you say that Tang Yin is an idiot?

Tang Yin didn't have so many mental activities, he asked: "He Armament?"

Zhu Feng pointed to the carriage team at the side, and said: "The gunpowder, the artillery, and the sky gunpowder, but Brother Zhang also said that you may not be able to use too powerful firearms..."

"It can be used." Park Yuanzong hurriedly added, "Who is Brother Zhang?"

"Ahem." Zhu Feng was a little embarrassed. He looked at Pu Yuanzong and found that he didn't know him.

Tang Yin was only focused on begging for armaments, and didn't have time to introduce him.

Tang Yindao: "This person is Pu Yuanzong, the envoy of Ping'an Dao Bing Ma Jiedu in North Korea. He can understand and speak Chinese. This is my Daming Anbian Marquis... Brother Zhang is the Duke of Lai, Zhang Zhou."

"I have met Marquis Anbian." Park Yuanzong looked eager.

It seems to be saying that if this Marquis Anbian follows us into North Korea to rebel, then the change of the dynasty within North Korea will be just around the corner, and I will most likely become a great hero to bring order out of chaos.

Zhu Feng said: "Tang Jiaoxi, Brother Zhang is waiting for you in the Chinese army camp. See you there."

Tang Yin was also taken aback, he said: "Duke Lai is here in person?"

Pu Yuanzong next to him was also excited, and his eyes seemed to be falling down.

Zhu Feng nodded, sighed and said: "After finishing the Jianzhou Weicheng, there are still some finishing touches, which are all left to Wang Jiaoxi, so we came here non-stop with military supplies, and some cottages along the way were not captured. This trip is very difficult Confidential, please do not reveal it to the outside world."

Tang Yin and Pu Yuanzong looked at each other.

You, Zhu Zhijie, have already talked about this, and you still say that this is a confidential matter?No matter how you look at it, you said it casually.

……

……

In the camp of the Chinese army.

Zhang Zhou was sitting with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a booklet in his hand and reading, and by the way, he met Tang Yin and Pu Yuanzong in such a foolish way.

"I've met Duke Lai." Tang Yin cupped his hands.

Only then did Tang Yin put his legs down from the temporary table, frowned and said: "Bohu, you are in good spirits."

Tang Yin was embarrassed.

Xin said, you didn't torture me to death, you are not reconciled, are you?Don't worry, when I go to Hanyang City again, I will lose my energy, and whether I have a breath is another matter.

"This is?" Zhang Zhou looked at Pu Yuanzong beside him.

Pu Yuanzong was also taken aback.

His heart was overwhelmed, this is Daming's famous Lai Guogong Zhang Zhou?In the battles against the grasslands, he was able to predict things in advance, and every time a miracle appeared, he was almost a semi-immortal character?

Isn't he the champion of the Ming Dynasty?With such a talent, he actually looks like such a rascal?This is not even as good as ordinary scholars in North Korea.

Seeing that Pu Yuanzong was in a daze, Tang Yin took the initiative to introduce: "Pu Yuanzong, Marshal of the North Korean Ping'an Taoist Army."

"You are Pu Yuanzong, very good." Zhang Zhou nodded.

Park Yuanzong hurriedly saluted and complimented Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Needless to say, you have been able to frighten the generals of the North Korean army at this critical moment, allowing them to cooperate with Tang Yin to complete the strategic intention of advancing westward, and to capture Duobi City and hold on for several months. It is not a small contribution."

Pu Yuanzong said excitedly: "This is a matter of the next division."

Zhang Zhou shook his head: "This is not your job. Your errand should be to maintain the internal stability of North Korea. When there is a corrupt leader in North Korea, you should promptly set things right. Bohu, have you told him everything?"

"Yes." Tang Yin nodded.

Zhang Zhou threw the book in his hand on the table and said, "Then you don't need to hide anything. I have a brochure here, which lists many people. You are from a noble official of North Korea, and you have connections in the court." If there is any relationship, then you can help me analyze where these people can be used for major events, which ones must be isolated and eliminated, and which ones can be sent to let them stand still!"

"This……"

Pu Yuanzong was stunned.

As soon as I entered Lai Guogong's camp, I saw him reading a book there. Was he actually looking at the roster of honored ministers and officials in North Korea?

Worrying about it.

Tang Yin walked over, took the book, and handed it to Pu Yuanzong.

Park Yuanzong was surprised after seeing it.

Zhang Zhoudao: "If you, Park Yuanzong, are the center and accomplish great things, you must have a similar situation and idea as you, have the mind to set things right for North Korea, and have the courage and courage to help. I roughly summed up, these people Or it can help you, what needs to be added and changed, or your own ideas are more important."

Park Yuanzong asked: "Duke Lai, dare to ask, how do you know... these relationships?"

Tang Yin urged: "Duke Lai is in touch with God's will. If this can't be calculated, how can it be a big deal? You read it quickly."

Originally, Tang Yin was full of conflicts about his going to Hanyang City again.

Seeing that Zhang Zhou came up and suppressed Pu Yuanzong, he suddenly felt that Zhang Zhou didn't mean to push him to death. The desire to survive in his heart would make him feel that this should be a dangerous job that can be saved from adversity. .

"All...all right." Pu Yuanzong said.

Zhang Zhoudao: "That's good. I'll transfer you another [-] Ming soldiers. These [-] soldiers are your final limit... Bohu, the journey to Hanyang City will be difficult for you. If you meet the king of North Korea after you arrive If you resist, take out the message from His Majesty Daming's envoy to you, and go to their palace to question him in person! Let the Korean monarchs and ministers know that this Korean king is no longer recognized by Daming."

Tang Yin closed his eyes helplessly.

Don't let me enter the city, let me enter the city alone, say to question, you might as well say that I went to fight the Confucianism, or pushed me into the frying pan.

"If we want to achieve great things, we still need to rely on General Park's five thousand troops. As for Li Kejun and his people, leave them to me first, and there is no need to take him back with him."

Park Yuanzong said: "General Li is the coach of the troops on this road, how can..."

Finding that Zhang Zhou's eyes were wrong, he didn't dare to continue talking.

Zhang Zhoudao: "You relied on the mutiny in the army to gain control of that group of people. You don't want to cause any more twists and turns on the way back to Hanyang City, do you? I guess that Lee, the leader of North Korea, is likely to Before you arrive in Hanyang City, send someone to take over the troops. You take my handwritten letter and reply directly to Li, saying that you, Pu Yuanzong, are the deputy marshal of Liaodong soldiers and horses recognized by my Ming Dynasty, and your status is second only to me. Follow Li's orders."

Pu Yuanzong swallowed his saliva.

Before, I thought that the Deputy Marshal of Liaodong Army and Horse was nonsense, so he was waiting here?
Marshal Zheng is actually Duke Lai himself?

Doesn't that mean... I now belong to... one person under one person and above ten thousand people?Even Tang Yin wants to listen to me?

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "If Mr. Li sends troops to fight you on the way back to Hanyang City, then you don't have to be polite, just fight them head-on. At that time, I can lead troops into your North Korea, and I don't mind either." I will attack too far ahead, and I can still hit a few places on Ping An Road. Just take it as a shock to you, and it depends on you. Unless it is said that you are... powerless to advance, then I will swing Bing Hanyang City."

When Park Yuanzong heard this, he suddenly felt that this move was not advisable.

Zhang Zhou also followed the topic and asked: "Park Yuanzong, as a Korean, you probably don't want to see Ming's army go to the city of Hanyang, do you?"

"This……"

Park Yuanzong didn't know how to answer.

As a Korean, he is going to be a traitor now, and to complete the rebellion, he has to rely on the power of Ming... It can even be said that he was forced by Zhang Zhou.

But it was also because he was a Korean, and he didn't want to see the Ming army led by Zhang Zhou occupy their cities, or even their territory, and be annexed by Ming.

So he, Park Yuanzong, is also tangled.

Tang Yin asked: "Dare to ask Lai Guogong, if it is done, who will be the leader of North Korea?"

"Hehe." Zhang Zhou laughed, "Bohu, why do you think you are thinking too long-term? You first get things done, and then the North Koreans will decide who is suitable, and then report for approval... You don't really think that Daming wants to Appoint a king, right? We want to set things right, as long as it’s right, anyone else will do, but if it’s not right…hehe.”

Unspoken.

Even if the new ruler is really appointed by Daming, it must be pretended to be decided by you in North Korea.

Of course, the approval authority rests with the emperor of Ming Dynasty, or I, Zhang.

Under this premise, you North Koreans can do what you want. If the person you recommend is not suitable, it will be rejected, and you have to find another person... It depends on whether you can understand Daming's intention to help you set things right intention.

……

……

Tang Yin and Pu Yuanzong left the barracks and returned to Duobi City.

Originally they invited Zhang Zhou to the city, but Zhang Zhou meant that the Jurchen problem had not been resolved, and Zhang Zhou still had to lead troops back to Pingjianzhou and Haixi. The internal rebellion in North Korea seemed to have nothing to do with Zhang Zhou Associated.

Moreover, Zhang Zhou also taught Tang Yin face-to-face tips.

It roughly means...you are an envoy of Ming Dynasty, even Li knows that you are going to be the commander of the rebellion, but you still have to pretend to be neutral.

This is to protect the life of someone like you, Tang, after the incident fails.

"Shangshi, you see what Lai Guogong means..."

After the two entered the city, Xu Jing was about to leave on the other side and was packing his things.

Pu Yuanzong couldn't help looking at Tang Yin eagerly.

Park Yuanzong now nominally only listens to Zhang Zhou, but in fact he also knows that he is not even a fart in front of Tang Yin.

If he offended Tang Yin, Tang Yin could hand him over to Li at any time, and let Li kill him, or even destroy the Pu family.

Tang Yin didn't answer Pu Yuanzong, but said to Xu Jing: "Father Heng, don't leave in a hurry, I have met Duke Lai, he said that you must go to North Korea with me. We can take care of each other."

"what?"

Xu Jing originally thought that he had to get out of the cage, and he would be free soon.

Only then did I know...it turns out that freedom is just an illusion, and now it's just a new cage for him.
