Forty-nine knights
In fact, if you want to say that the DPRK and Japan colluded, it really wronged the DPRK, and the DPRK never looked down on Japan at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea at that time, it is not wrong to describe it as a "state of father and son", and when North Korea asked for help from the Ming Dynasty, it was not too much to shout "Dad, I was bullied, come and save me", but there is an unwritten unspoken rule in the international political circle - countries that have been bullied by others and take the initiative to ask for help from the leader of the alliance are very despised.
Although North Korea is small, but there is also self-esteem, that era, North Korea is quite "Kazakhstan and China", the king of North Korea is very proud of the country's comprehensive sinicization, the whole country, whether it is the Westerners' Party or the Easterners' Party, they all like to claim that they are Little China, the state of etiquette, up and down to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters proudly, even the proverbs used in North Korea today, the earliest is actually to phonetize Chinese characters, trying to let the ordinary people of North Korea can also read and write Chinese characters.
So since it is a state of etiquette, it is necessary to be a little pretentious, to put it bluntly, to save face, really to save face.
was beaten into such a bear by a "foreign barbarian" Japan that he had never looked down upon, and he couldn't clean it up and asked his father to save him, which was very shameless!
Think about the current bear children who have lost fights with others and have been bullied, but who is embarrassed to ask their parents for help? Or the timid are threatened and don't dare to ask their parents for help, as is the case with North Korea.
So at the beginning, they were not embarrassed to ask Daming for help at all, until the Ming Dynasty had been prepared to a certain extent in order to "prepare for the Japanese", and the North Koreans lost Pyongyang, only because they finally couldn't bear it, they found that they were in danger of losing the country, and it was too late to ask for help.
The North Koreans stayed in Beijing last year to defend the diplomat who ran all over the Ming Dynasty's official yamen and wept everywhere.
However, it is worth noting that just five days before the Korean people's letter for help and the envoys arrived, and Ye Mengxiong and Xiao Ruxun's team arrived in the capital, on the second day of the sixth month, Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor, issued an order - sent two elite troops to Fuzhen in Liaodong to aid Korea, and also brought 20,000 taels of silver as military expenses, and also allocated 200,000 taels of silver to the Liaodong Metropolitan Division for backup.
At the same time, the Ming court also made supporting measures: First, in Tianjin, an important hub of the anti-Japanese war in the north, the local garrison intercepted 780,000 stone of grain to replenish military funds, and also pulled a large number of transport ships over to transform them into warships, and the number of ships transformed was not too much, 400.
Second, in the Xuanda Military Region, the government mobilized 16,000 elite soldiers to wait for the Japanese police, and the imperial court allocated more than 100,000 taels of silver for this; Third, the imperial court also sent an official to supervise the relevant food and salary, just in case of "something" in a hurry.
The most obvious point is that the imperial court also transferred a person from Fujian to stationed in the Shenji Battalion, this person is named Chen Luan, who is an expert in water warfare and Japanese warfare.
This is the proof that North Korea thinks that the Ming Dynasty does not know anything, and the Ming Dynasty has long known it.
And Zhu Yijun, who made this decision, was sighing in the dormitory at this time, thinking about it a thousand times, not only worried about the upcoming reward of the Ningxia Meritorious Hero Group, but also worried about the situation in Liaodong and North Korea.
Zhu Yijun frowned, picked up the Ningxia good news again, looked at it for a while, and suddenly wanted to notice something, and immediately said: "Zhang Cheng, I have something for you to do." ”
Zhang Cheng immediately approached Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun whispered a few words on Zhang Cheng's side, and saw a look of surprise on Zhang Cheng's face, and then regained his calm.
"This matter cannot be known to a third person, especially a courtier."
Zhu Yijun commanded with a cold face.
“…… The old slave obeys! ”
Without half a minute of hesitation, Zhang Cheng decisively agreed.
Ningxia, waiting for the emperor's decree is not easy and happy, anyway, Xiao Ruxun thinks so, after becoming the chief soldier of Ningxia, he has a bunch of things to do.
It is necessary to take over the mess of the former commander-in-chief Zhang Weizhong, to sort out the dilapidated castles and military households in Ningxia, to verify the number of military households, to assist Ye Mengxiong in exploring the acres of military tuntian, to use this Bibai Rebellion to eradicate a large number of local tyrants, to regain control of the areas ravaged by the Bibai rebels in the hands of the imperial court, to rearrange the military cantonments, and to find time to train the troops, which is not busy at all every day.
Fortunately, Ma Gui, Xiao Ruhui is powerful, and although Li Yun, Zhao Wu, Dong Yikui and other generals do not have great talents, their ability to appease the army's heart and command the army is not weak, and they can settle down the more than 50,000 Ming troops gathered around Ningxia well and prevent them from making trouble and disturbing the people.
Then, according to Ye Mengxiong's overall arrangement, he settled down and stationed around Ningxia City, waiting for the emperor's reward to arrive, and then he could set off back to his original station.
Ye Mengxiong was busy with logistics and rewards, Mei Guozhen was single-mindedly staring at the army and testing the generals, basically Xiao Ruxun was dealing with civil affairs, arranging for the residents in the city to repair the city walls and buildings, cleaning up the dead bodies by the way, arranging for the burning of the corpses, arranging for the old and weak women and children to prepare gunpowder bags and other war supplies for the sergeants, and washing clothes for the sergeants, etc.
More importantly, it is necessary to speed up the pace of resuming spring ploughing, anyway, arrange things for everyone to do, do things as soon as you open your eyes, and go to the material collection point to receive your wages and today's rations when the sun goes down, and you don't have time to do your own fancy intestines.
The city of Ningxia regained its previous vitality in an orderly manner, and the people gradually settled down.
These measures made the people have a good impression of the newly appointed Ningxia general Xiao Ruxun, and they are willing to obey his instructions and obey his commands.
But Xiao Ruxun's luck is really good, Zhu Zhengse, the governor of Ningxia who took over from Dang Xin, is also a rare kind person, knowing that when he led his troops to rush to Ningxia, the battle of Ningxia had been basically pacified, and the day after his arrival, the blasting tactics were very successful, so as to quell the rebellion in Ningxia, he actually only assisted Ye Mengxiong to control the Ming army outside the city and never entered the city to intercept and kill the rebels, without any merit, so he did not ask for any merits.
According to his observations, Xiao Ruxun has a rare ability among generals to manage civil affairs, and he is quite familiar with the pension and governance methods of war refugees, and the measures are quite effective, and he can settle the chaotic city in an orderly manner in three or two days.
And what is even more surprising is that there is no incident of soldiers harming the residents, realizing the basic stability of Ningxia City, and ensuring the most basic urban functions, which is almost the only one in the scorpion tail among the children of the Nine Border Generals.
Therefore, it is not difficult for this old gentleman in the officialdom who seems to be honest and honest but actually more kind-hearted to Xiao Ruxun, not to compete with him for power and profit, but to try his best to cooperate with him to do some civil affairs work, and give him the green light for some measures, so that Xiao Ruxun's orders can be unimpeded in Ningxia, and the entire Ningxia town is recovering rapidly.
After more than half a month of such busy days, when the order of Ningxia Town basically returned to its pre-war state, the emperor's holy decree arrived.
It was not an internal official who announced the decree, but a civil official of imperial history, which made Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen, who were familiar with the imperial court system, smell a different taste, and they speculated that someone was going to be knighted.
In fact, it is precisely like this, at the enthusiastic reward meeting, due to the special order of the emperor, not only every soldier was rewarded, but every officer was duly rewarded, and some people were even knighted!
Xiao Ruxun!
