Yangyang-gun, North Korea, is less than 100 miles northeast of Seoul, but it is quite desolate. Especially after the year of Bingzi, there are not many people on the busiest streets.

On this day, in an inconspicuous house on the southern outskirts of the city, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Korean State gathered, all of whom came to celebrate the birthday of the former chief priest Kim Sang-heon.

Although Kim Sang-hun is now resigned, he was once the leader of the Cheongseo faction, one of the two major factions in North Korean politics, and he vigorously rebuked and tore up the peace book when Bingzi was in chaos, and he is still the spiritual symbol of the main battle faction in North Korea.

It's just that with the situation of North Korea, how can there be any strength to continue the war.

More than a dozen people in the hall waited for a long time to see the main lord appear, and they all stepped forward to salute and congratulate, and some people who knew him well smiled and said: "Lord Jin, we have been here for a long time, why don't we see the birthday banquet on the table?" ”

Jin Shangxian glanced around and saw that all the people invited had arrived, but he ordered the servants outside the house, "Lao Zheng, close the door and lock it." No one is allowed to enter. ”

"Yes, sir."

Jin Shangxian turned around and raised his hand to the stunned crowd, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, today is not the birthday of the old man. The invitation to come here is to discuss an important matter. ”

The hall fell silent for a moment, and all eyes looked at it together.

Jin Shangxian sighed and said: "In the year of Ding Mao, Hu Lu raised 20,000 troops to invade on the grounds that I secretly helped General Mao of Phi Dao, and entered Dingzhou, Anzhou, Pyongyang, Changcheng, and slaughtered the four cities, and forced me to call the thief a brother and cut off the friendship of the Heavenly Empire!"

"In the year of the second year of the reincarnation, the thief despised me for not paying tribute, did not congratulate the thief chief on his birthday, and invaded with 100,000 horses, directly destroyed my Han City, humiliated my king and bowed down to the thief, forcibly took my two sons, killed Wu Daji, Yin Ji, and Hong Yihan Sanzhong, and forced our country to defeat him as a father......"

In fact, to put it mildly, North Korea suffered much more serious disasters from the construction of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to seize grain and slaves, and also to be able to stabilize the rear during the invasion of the Ming Dynasty, Houjin invaded Korea twice on a large scale in the seventh year of the Apocalypse and the ninth year of Chongzhen.

Due to the huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, the captives swept through Korea without much effort on both occasions, and rivers of blood flowed everywhere they went, many places were slaughtered as empty cities, and the looting of food, property, and population was incalculable.

The king of Korea kowtowed to Jianlu, mortgaged the prince and the meritorious hero as hostages, and worshiped Jianlu as the suzerain, and donated a lot of money, food, and beauties in exchange for the country to survive.

Jin Shangxian said that he was already in tears, "Hu Lu has committed me twice, killed nearly one million people, and forcibly robbed 300,000 women to go to Jianzhou as slaves, and his evil deeds cannot be ......."

Jin Jin, who was leading the council on the side, also sighed heavily, "Alas, Lord Jin, why do you want to mention these things again? He pointed to the people in the hall, "Everyone here has seen Hu Lu with swords and guns, and there are even more organized rebels and thieves who have been fighting for several years, but after all, our small soldiers are weak, and even if tens of thousands of soldiers have died, we have not been able to shake Hu Lu for half a minute......"

The others also nodded in agreement, "Lord Jin is right, every time you raise an army to resist the captives, you kill a few thieves, and when they fight back, we will die ten times and a hundred times." ”

"Although everyone is eager to eat raw meat, they are powerless......"

"Lord Jin, you yourself have raised the most righteous actions, and you should be the most aware of the fact that the captives are difficult to ...... enemy."

Kim Sang-hun wiped away his tears, and his eyes showed incomparable perseverance, "But now there is a good opportunity to trip over Hulu."

"The Celestial Empire sent me to contact me a few days ago, saying that a large army will go north and attack the hinterland of Hulu!"

Kim Sang-heon invited officials from the North Korean main battle faction, and when they heard this, they immediately exclaimed, "The Celestial Empire has finally sent troops!" ”

"I wonder how many people can come?"

"Lord Jin, when will the Heavenly Soldiers arrive?"

Jin Shangxian motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "The Celestial Empire is carrying troops north with warships this time, but it is a long way to come from the south of the Yangtze River, and it is necessary to supply grain, grass and fresh water in the Incheon area. ”

He shook his head again, "It's just that the imperial court is stared at by Hu Lu, and he doesn't dare to allocate silver taels." And the supply army is consumed, and the money and food required are not a few, and the old man's wealth is only enough for two or three percent.

"I invite you to come here today just to let you pool some money to feed the Heavenly Army."

"No problem!" Someone immediately answered, "I'll donate a thousand!" ”

"I'll give 1,500!"

"I'm also out of 15 ......"

Jin Shangxian excitedly took the pen and paper and wrote them down one by one, and said: "There are still six or seven days before the arrival of the Heavenly Army, and I will cash in the money and food as soon as possible." ”

He didn't notice that a little old man with a black face was always cowering in the corner, looking at this side coldly without saying a word.

……

"My lord, the outpost has reported that there is no trace of the Korean sailors."

Zheng Chenggong nodded, took out his pocket watch to check it, and then ordered: "It's the appointed hour, give the order, sail north, and dock on the south side of Miki Island." ”

"Yes!"

Since Korea was now nominally a vassal state of the Manchu Dynasty, it would be quite troublesome if it was encountered by its sailors, so the Ming sailors had to try to avoid them.

Although Kim Sang-hun had already told the messenger in detail about the time and route of the North Korean naval division's patrol, Zheng Chenggong was still extremely cautious about the war situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Fortunately, Kim Sang-hun's information was quite accurate, and the sailors and his entourage calmly arrived at the intended supply site, the nearest island west of Incheon, Samki Island.

Standing at the foot of a low hill, Kim Sang-hun nervously looked out at the distant bay, a war-torn harbor where the inhabitants were long gone, but the best place to connect with the Celestial Army.

Behind him waited in the grove more than twenty truckloads of grain and fresh water, surrounded by one hundred and thirty or forty guards armed with knives and guns.

These people are all the anti-captivity rebels he funded in his early years, although they were all defeated by Jianyu, but they can survive until now, but they all have some real skills in their hands.

"My lord, here we are!" One of his men at the top of the tree pointed to the south and shouted, "There are twenty or thirty boats!" ”

Kim Sang-hyun was excited in his heart, and was about to drive to the abandoned port, when he suddenly heard a whistle around. Immediately, a bunch of people and horses came out on both sides of the low mountain, and they couldn't help but surround him and the batch of supplies in the middle.

"Who are you?" Seeing that the people who came were all dressed as North Korean soldiers, Kim Sang-hun could barely maintain his composure, and said in a deep voice, "Don't you even know the old man?" ”

"Lord Kim, this is the soldiers and horses of the Thorn Left Road Soldiers and Horses Temperance Envoy Cui Nanzheng Cui." It was the little old man who had been silent during the secret meeting of the Jinfu that day, "Listen to me, you should take someone back to Yangzhou." ”

"Brother Li?" Jin Shangxian was stunned, this little old man with a black and yellow face was his best friend, Gongcao sentenced Li Xingli, "Why are you here?" What's going on with these soldiers? ”

"He's the one who brought me." With a cold snort, a burly officer with triangular eyes turned his horse over, pointed at Jin Shangxian and the others, and said to the corporal, "Take them all for me!" ”
