Chapter XXXVIII

North Korea thinks that the opportunity for revenge has come, why not completely tear up face with the Manchus? Right! Can't hesitate any longer! Immediately, he sent someone to Zhang Biwu and expressed to them that he was willing to serve the Ming Dynasty again as before, and the relationship would remain the same!

They would also provide food to Zhang Biwu's army to help them defeat the Manchus as soon as possible. I just hope that if the people who were taken captive before are still alive, I hope that Zhang Biwu will find out and let them return home and reunite with their relatives.

Zhang Biwu heard that the reason for the envoy sent by the DPRK was this, he couldn't help laughing, the reason mentioned by the DPRK is reasonable, this hatred word is really crazy!

Li Yan seemed polite, and showed great respect for Zhang Biwu, of course, he was very useful to Zhang Biwu. Yin Yong and Song Shilie said that they wanted to exchange Confucian knowledge, which was irrelevant.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty and Korea are both Confucian countries, so it is not a big deal for everyone to exchange things in this regard.

As soon as Zhang Biwu agreed, they seemed very happy, because they felt that since the rise of the Manchus, there had been a lot less contact with Confucianism, and if it was to be authentic, of course, it had to be on the Chinese side.

What Zhang Biwu said made them even happier, that is, if they provide food, Zhang Biwu will convert it into a certain amount of money to give them! They couldn't help but be overjoyed! Is it really giving money? Convert the food they send into money? It's crazy with joy!

Zhang Biwu said that he did what he said, since his words were put on hold, how could there be any possibility of taking it back? Zhang Biwu immediately asked people to bring the money and asked Yin Yong and Song Shilie to bring it back to North Korea together, and repeatedly said that he would avenge them. As long as the war is over. It will help them find the captives.

This time. When they saw Zhang Biwu, it was like seeing a benefactor, they were really grateful!

It's just that Zhang Biwu still has a request, that is, to let them show their faces in front of the Manchus, which is to show the Manchus that Zhang Biwu has a very close relationship with North Korea. And North Korea has said it will be fully loyal to Zhang Biwu.

This effect is to show that Zhang Biwu not only made Mongolia submit, but also made North Korea submit.

In this case, who else can the Manchus rely on? Their time of death is near.

This time. The Manchus were very annoyed! Because Joseon Injo sent his two sons to the Manchu Qing Dynasty as hostages, including Li Di, who is now the eighteenth king of Joseon, he has also been a hostage in Shenyang with his father Li Hao, the Korean filial piety!

It's just that after returning to China, his uncle, who was the heir, died, Li Hao inherited the throne, and Li Di became the grandson of the king.

Now not only do they not help the Manchus, but they also want to help Zhang Biwu destroy the Manchus, of course, the Manchu ministers are extremely annoyed, and they can't wait to kill Li Di with a knife in the first place!

Zhang Biwu also made the soldiers scream, and the soldiers shouted to restore the Jianzhou three-guard system established in the Ming Dynasty - Jianzhou Guard, Jianzhou Left Guard, and Jianzhou Right Guard.

The three guards of Jianzhou were abolished after the establishment of the Later Jin State of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now Zhang Biwu once again asked the soldiers to chant and restore the three guards of Jianzhou. This is to show their determination to recover Liaodong.

Zhang Biwu just wanted to see the expressions of Dolgon and the others in the city, but the city was still as quiet as before, and he didn't show any performance at all. They're so calm that people feel terrible!

Zhang Biwu couldn't help but be surprised, there was a Korean follower, and Zhang Biwu had transferred heavy troops to attack Liaoyang, why didn't Dolgon say anything? Isn't Dorgon afraid? If this continues, the demise of the Manchus will be inevitable! Why is Dorgon so calm?

Or is Dorgon still too sick? What about him not being able to show his face? Anyway, let's continue to attack the Manchus! I don't believe anyone can save them!

It was rumored that Portugal, the Netherlands, England, and Tsarist Russia wanted to unite with each other, but now there is no movement. Even if he really came, Zhang Biwu was like eating a scale, and he was determined to destroy it.

Zhang Biwu will not slack off, he still sends people to observe the situation on this side, and he has to report to him immediately as soon as there is any trouble. Everything is normal, and they have not been attacked, and the other party is still honestly trading in Xiamen and Macao!

Zhang Biwu was relieved, now he had to besiege and attack the enemy first, as long as the enemy was broken and defeated, everything would be over.

Yes! Zhang Biwu kept giving orders, and the whole army began to attack, and the main target of the attack was naturally Liaoyang. The forward positions in Shenyang were all subjected to the fierce offensive of Zhang's army.

The two sides have been fighting, and this battle has become a protracted war, and just like that, a year has passed.

Throughout the year, a steady stream of 300,000 troops from the rear rushed to the front, and it can be seen that the support from the rear is very great.

The food and salary for the army has never been interrupted, as if it is constantly transported to the front line without exhaustion, so that the soldiers on the front line can be fed, can get the money to settle in, and can fight with peace of mind.

Of course, the grain from the North Korean side is also being delivered, and they have kept their promise, and they will do their best to help Zhang Biwu to eliminate the Manchus. Although North Korea has also proposed, is it for them to send troops to help?

Zhang Biwu didn't use their soldiers, and he knew that the North Korean soldiers were too useless, wouldn't it be a shame to let them come? If you die in vain, it's better to let them continue to provide food! It will still be converted to them according to the money.

This time, Lee's North Korea knows that the food sent can avenge them, not to mention, but also make money, North Korea, which is already a big agricultural country, has less money and more grain, and when everything is to be done, everything needs money, and it is better to exchange excess grain for money! Even if you eat less, you have to send food to Zhang Biwu.

In the past year, Zhang Biwu's food pressure has been greatly reduced because of the help of North Korea.

The pressure has decreased, but there are so many of his people! With so many large armies gathered in Liaodong, the amount of grain needed is extremely staggering! North Korea's food supply is far from enough to consume by its huge population.

Zhang Biwu thought that there would be a shortage of food, but he never thought that there would never be a shortage, which really surprised him.

He didn't think much about it, he just urged the soldiers to step up the attack on the Qing army, especially Liaoyang.

Liaoyang is almost unable to support it, even if the Iron Triangle is strong, after more than a year of attack, it has also slackened.

It seems that the loss of Liaoyang will not take long to be realized, first break Liaoyang, and then Shenyang will also be captured.

But at this moment, the food did not come on time! I don't know what happened.

Zhang Biwu couldn't help but be angry, you must know that the most important thing in the road is food, if the food cannot be guaranteed, the heart of the whole army will be shaken, and then the victory or defeat will be unpredictable!

Zhang Biwu is leaving left and right, he has hurried back to Beijing, just to know what kind of grain has not been delivered for so long? What the hell is going on?

The question in Zhang Biwu's heart is getting bigger and bigger, could it be that something major has happened in the rear? For example, because of the conscription of soldiers and rations, did uprisings break out everywhere? Stir up a lot of popular uprisings?

Zhang Biwu knew that even if there were more civil uprisings, he would not change the strategy of doing his best to extinguish the Qing Dynasty.

Only by destroying the Manchu Qing Dynasty first, he can also pacify the popular uprisings provoked in the future, and he also knows that there will not be too many real popular uprisings! With a wife, it won't be too big a fork!

He waited left and right, and finally saw Yang Tinglin and Xia Wanchun coming.

He asked, "How?" How's it going? Why has there been no food for so long? ”

Yang Tinglin became stuttering when he spoke: "That's it, it's here!" Wan Yuan Ji brought the grain on the way......"

Zhang Biwu looked at him with a worried look on his face, and knew that there must be something going on. Zhang Biwu saw Xia Wanchun the same again, he originally wanted to get angry and blame him well, why did the delivery of grain take so long.

But now I muttered in my heart, wondering what happened to Lu Dao, if nothing happened, I would never delay it.

Zhang Biwu just wants them to say it, and they can't hide it, otherwise, Zhang Biwu won't treat them leniently!

At this time, Yang Tinglin and Xia Wanchun looked at each other. Zhang Biwu yelled: "Say it quickly!" ”

In the end, it was Xia Wanchun who spoke up: "King Qi, the princess has a case!" "What!" Zhang Biwu was surprised! Qin Huaiyu? Or Delis? It should be Qin Huaiyu!

Zhang Biwu asked, "Is it Huaiyu?" Xia Wanchun nodded vigorously and said, "Yes!" King Qi! The princess couldn't rest well because she was overworked, and she fell ill when she was physically exhausted! ”

This time it was confirmed, but Zhang Biwu was not happy at all.

He finally understood that the food and salary supply in the past year was endless, there were still many soldiers who were constantly sent to the army for mobilization, and there were wounded soldiers who were transported back from Liaodong.

A strong young man can't hold on, let alone a weak woman? Although on the surface, Qian Qianyi, Gu Yanwu, Yang Youlong, Chen Zhilong and others are fully responsible, in fact, the real decision-making is Qin Huaiyu!

She has always fully supported her husband, she is a virtuous helper, but she gave birth to a daughter, if she is a man, she can definitely become the prime minister! Can ...... now

Zhang Biwu asked again, is Qin Huaiyu seriously ill? How's that going? Can you eat? How much do you eat? What do doctors say? Can you get cured quickly? It can be seen that Zhang Biwu's anxiety is beyond words.

The answer he got was that he was quite sick, it was precisely because of Qin Huaiyu's illness that without her wise planning, and it was becoming more and more difficult to raise food, so he could not be sent to the army for a long time.

The popular uprising that Zhang Biwu was worried about did happen! Although the civil unrest is localized throughout the country, it has also caused headaches. (To be continued......)
