【Chapter 727】Sell some weapons first?
(0728) At the beginning, the Ming army in the Liaodong region launched an attack on Jianyu, and under the strict orders of Yang Ho, the Korean side also sent an army of 13,000 people to help the battle. The one who led the army was Li Erzhan's colleague Jiang Hongli (not Zheng Hongli). When he set out on the expedition, Jiang Hongli was the marshal of the capital, Jin Jingrui was the deputy marshal of the capital, and there was also a general of the left battalion, Jin Yinghe. As a result, the Ming army was defeated, and the Korean army was also defeated, almost all of the 13,000 people were lost, Kim Yinghe was killed in battle, and Kim Kyung-seo fled. Jiang Hongli himself was even more exaggerated, and simply surrendered to Jianyu.
Since this war, there has been an inexplicable fear of the Daejin Army throughout the Korean army. According to the soldiers who escaped, those brave Dajin soldiers were simply not human. They used bows and arrows in their hands, as well as axes, spears and other weapons, to inflict great harm on the North Koreans. The Daejin army, which had less than 1,000 men, defeated the Korean army of 13,000 men, and forced the commander of the Korean army to surrender to the Daejin country.
Due to the impact of this defeat, the whole of Korea was quite nervous about this new enemy in the north. On the other side of the sea, there are invaders with the surname of the Wako. Behind himself, there are Jurchens who are not afraid of death. The son of the king of Joseon, Li Hui, is indeed not happy. Therefore, the burden he gave to Li Erzhan was quite heavy. If Li Erzhan could not request effective assistance from the Central Plains Dynasty, the Korean Kingdom would definitely suffer this time.
Li Erzhan had not been in contact with the White Clothes Army before, and he did not have the slightest understanding of the combat effectiveness of the White Clothes Army. Therefore, his heart has always been very uneasy. If the combat effectiveness of the white-clothed army is not as good as the previous Ming army, then what should be done? The Japanese are menacing this time, and the troops seem to be even stronger than last time, and they are more fully prepared, so it is strange that Li Erzhan is not worried.
The Ming army more than 20 years ago was much more capable of fighting than the current Ming army. At that time, the Liaodong cavalry led by Li Rusong still had strong combat effectiveness. Ma Gui and others are also very capable of fighting. Ordinary soldiers of the Ming army dared to fight the Japanese alone. Even so, the battle between the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces and the Japanese was very hard, and the price paid by both sides was quite large.
What I never expected was that the Japanese had not yet landed, and behind them, a huge enemy had appeared. According to the descriptions of the Korean soldiers, the soldiers of the Daejin Kingdom were even more ferocious and fierce than the Japanese Invaders. Four or five North Korean soldiers can barely reach a draw with one Japanese coward, and they will not suffer very much. But if you want the Dajin Army to tie, you need at least seven or eight people. Li Erzhan's heart was really completely suspended.
Fortunately, in the eyes of the North Korean army, the Dajin Army, which was extremely brave, was like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep in front of the white-clothed army, and only the share of slaughter remained. Li Erzhan roughly estimated that just around Yangguan Fort, he saw thousands of corpses of Jianjiao. In other words, the white-clothed army killed at least thousands of Dajin soldiers. As for the war horses of Jianguo who were killed by the white-clothed army, as well as the number of war horses captured, it was even more.
If Li Erzhan hadn't personally set foot on the land of Yangguan Fort, witnessed Jianyu's corpse with his own eyes, and actually smelled the corpse, he would never have believed it. The contrast between the white-clothed army and the North Korean army is also too great. In front of the Daejin Army, the North Koreans are just a pot of vegetables, and they eat them casually. In front of the white-clothed army, the Dajin army is a pot of vegetables to eat casually.
Originally, the envoys who met with foreign countries were basically Zhang Tianhao's arrivals. But unfortunately, during this time, Zhang Tianhao's health has not been very good, he is not adaptable to the water and soil, vomiting and diarrhea, Xu Xingxia let him go to the back to recuperate temporarily. The chasers have been all big and rough since Liu Chuang. However, Mao Wenlong was coarse in writing, and Xu Xingxia asked Mao Wenlong to participate in the meeting. Moreover, Mao Wenlong's identity is also quite special, and he can do anything.
After the two sides met, Li Erzhan saluted respectfully, and said sincerely to Xu Xingxia: "Your Royal Highness the Chairman of the National People's Congress, we in the DPRK and the Central Plains have always been good-neighbors and friendly, like father and son, and when one side is in trouble, the other side should help each other......
Xu Xingxia replied quietly: "I know." ”
Others have said such words as love for father and son, what else can he say? If you continue not to give the other party a good look, I am afraid that the other party will be a little unbearable. It seems that the pressure on the North Koreans is indeed very great, so great that it exceeds Xu Xingxia's expectations. In case they are desperate and decide to surrender to the Dajin Kingdom, it will be troublesome.
In other words, their traitor Jiang Hongli is still quite active on the side of Dajin Kingdom, and he has a very good relationship with Dabeile Daishan. With such a Han anniversary threading a needle in the middle, it is not impossible for the Koreans to take refuge in the Dajin Kingdom. In fact, Guanghaijun Li Hui has always had a tendency to step on a few boats, a very unreliable guy.
Li Erzhan chattered a lot of polite words, and then slowly turned to the topic, and said euphemistically: "Now, the clown of the East China Sea has the heart to covet our country, if it is allowed to run rampant, my country will certainly suffer calamity, even the face of the Celestial Empire, and it is not good-looking......"
is worthy of being a talent born in Jinshi, and he is the number one person in the two classes of nobles, and his eloquence is naturally very good. He covered it with a big high hat, and felt that if Xu Xingxia did not immediately send troops to aid North Korea, he would lose his conscience, lose his heart, and be cruel and cold-blooded. If he succeeds in landing, the Koreans will have nothing but the face of the Celestial Empire. As the commander of the white-clothed army, Xu Xingxia is sorry for the motherland and the people...... Xu Xingxia was secretly funny in his heart. This Li Erzhan actually used the agitation method on himself? Well, that's a good idea indeed. To be honest, I really ate his set. For no other reason, it's just a little devil. As a Chinese who traveled back in later generations, it is naturally needless to say that he hates the little devil. No matter where the little devils are making trouble, when they are making trouble, or what they are going to do, the white-clothed army will definitely not stand idly by.
Therefore, Xu Xingxia didn't bother to say some twists and turns. In front of the bayonets of the white-clothed army, no kind of polite words are needed. He said directly to Li Erzhan: "Lord Li, rest assured, it is incumbent upon our army to provide assistance to the DPRK. Our army will certainly help your army to repel the invasion of the Japanese invaders. Mao Wenlong, after the end of this battle, you should follow Master Li to North Korea to understand the situation on the spot and prepare in advance for our army to enter North Korea! ”
Mao Wenlong was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly. Why do the elders always think of themselves as rubbish and litter everywhere? What do you want to do when you let yourself run to North Korea? What is there to look at? The previous Ming army entered North Korea, and it was not said that it would be inspected in advance! This Xu Xingxia is really a toss, and I don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd. However, if you think about it carefully, if you don't have the backing of the White Army, you are really a waste.
Li Erzhan was also stunned, he didn't expect Xu Xingxia to agree so refreshingly, so straightforwardly, and so without the slightest room for change. His heart fell to the ground, and his demeanor suddenly relaxed. Relieved, he happily said: "Your army is very kind, and you will never dare to forget it." When your army arrived, it was said that our country would inevitably eat pot pulp and greet each other. ”
Xu Xingxia nodded and said bluntly: "Mao Wenlong is the military observer of our army stationed in your country, if you have any situation, you can go directly to him." ”
Li Erzhan couldn't help but be a little suspicious of Mao Wenlong. Military observers, what does this mean? Neither a minister nor a plenipotentiary, just observe it like this? Originally, what he meant was to find Xu Xingxia directly for convenience. There are many things, except for Xu Xingxia, no one else can call the shots at all. He was most familiar with it.
However, Xu Xingxia asked them to do so, and Li Erzhan had no choice. Mao Wenlong, a military observer, since he wants to observe, then ask him to observe it well. Today's meeting is finally a good start. At least, Xu Xingxia did not refuse to provide assistance to the North Korean side. As long as Xu Xingxia speaks, the rest is a matter of details.
Xu Xingxia suddenly said: "If your country is willing, you can buy some weapons from our army,"
Li Erzhan was immediately intrigued. His little eyes turned quickly, obviously very attentive. It's just that, for some reason, he has been reserved and has not spoken. In fact, this is what North Koreans are most interested in. He was thinking about how to find a reason to lead the topic to this aspect, but he didn't expect Xu Xingxia to take the initiative to mention it.
If a large number of white-clothed troops enter North Korea, the North Korean side is still a little worried. They are worried that while fighting against the Japanese invaders, the white-clothed army will also exert some pressure on the political situation in North Korea itself. Even, the possibility of directly using force to change the political situation in the DPRK cannot be ruled out. After all, foreign armies, at all times, have a threatening surname. It is not completely impossible to send charcoal in the snow and turn it into a way to cut down the wood. The key is what Xu Xingxia thinks.
The current king of North Korea, Gwanghaejun Ri Hun, came to power through an irregular route. After he came to power, he never received formal and public recognition from the Ming Dynasty. The current state, for Guanghaijun, is just a default from the Ming Dynasty. In case the Ming Dynasty saw that Li Hui was unhappy and insisted on him stepping down, Li Hui's situation would be very embarrassing. However, if you just buy weapons, you don't have to worry about these things.
Seriously speaking, the feelings of the Koreans towards the Central Plains Dynasty are actually very complicated. On the one hand, they need the help of the Central Plains Dynasty to get through all kinds of difficulties. At the same time, they also had to guard against the interference of the Central Plains Dynasty in them. After all, in the era of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, as well as the Tang Dynasty, there were troops of the Central Plains Dynasty who tried to conquer this peninsula. The past is not forgotten, and the future is the teacher, and they cannot trust the Central Plains Dynasty unlimitedly.
