Chapter 003 Gwanghae-kun and his man!
On the afternoon of the third day of the 47th year of Wanli, north of Kuandian in Liaodong, Shajianzi Mountain Gang.
The turbulent Hun River suddenly turned here, and the water gradually slowed down, and the Yalu River flowed from the mouth of the Hun River in Luhe.
This place belongs to the Three Guards of Jianzhou and is a place outside the world. Before Nurhaci's rise, there were few people here. Except for Liaodong hunters who went deep into the mountains and forests, there were only a few Koreans who crossed the border to dig ginseng.
At this moment, Shajianzi Hill was bustling.
Layers of camps were built under the hills, and there were many horses. The auxiliary soldiers and civilians cut down all the trees on the banks of the Hun River to create fences and traps.
The camps were crowded and lively.
The news that General Liu of General Liu paid the money to repaid money spread in the army, which made the soldiers excited. The heavy infantry who had struggled in the mud in Liaodong for four or five days were all cheering.
The court has been owing wages for several months, and all of these guest soldiers from thousands of miles away are resentful.
Although it shows that the current finances are not enough to support a considerable number of mercenaries, the Emperor of Zhu's family wanted the horses to run fast without giving them grass, which was really speechless.
If the court had not been painting cakes all the time and said that Hetuala had countless gold and silver, and after conquering the battle, he would have been rewarded with gold and silver, he might have had a mutiny.
Now General Liu is using his private funds to pay you, how can he not touch these Qiu Ba?
Except for the surveillance who went out to attack and did not collect the horses at night, the soldiers of each battalion were receiving the salary according to the roster under the command of the general and the general.
A team of strong servants, holding long spears in hand, stood around the queue, staring at the pay soldiers with vigilance.
On the hill of Shajianzi, everyone looked at the scene of soldiers receiving their wages at the foot of the mountain, showing surprise.
The era of Qi Jiguang's generous salary and raising soldiers has long passed. In the current court, it is normal to arrears of military salaries. However, today Liu Zhen spent all his family money and supplemented the food and salary for more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, which clearly violated the rules.
"General Liu, you killed the slave thief and the horses in the pond before, but did not inform me. Now I have paid food and pay to the soldiers privately, delaying the advance of the army. If General Du is still besieged by the slave thief and waiting for us to rescue, the army will not be able to rescue him, and I will not be able to bear this responsibility!"
Liu Zhaosun's guard was beside Liu Jing. When he heard someone talking, he quickly looked in the voice, but saw that he was a thin civil servant with slightly white hair, wearing a third-grade python robe and covered with a layer of chain mail, which looked a bit like a Confucian general.
This is Kang Yingqian, the Ming Army Supervisor of the Eastern Army. He was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli. He served as the governor of Chenzhou, the doctor of the Nanjing Ministry of War, and the deputy envoy of Shandong. This time he was transferred to serve as the supervisor of the Eastern Army and led 5,000 Zhejiang Army, which is the remnant of the Qi family army. Because the Qi family army was equipped with a large number of equipment, especially a spear of one hundred and seven feet, it was quite inconvenient to carry it, so they walked behind with the Korean army.
On the original historical plane, after Sarhu was defeated, Kang Yingqian ran away alone, and then the Liaoyang was conquered. Kang Yingqian took the official seal back to the court on a boat from the sea, reported the situation to Emperor Wanli, begging for the crime. Emperor Wanli made a statement and pardoned him for his death.
Perhaps influenced by some historical forums and posters in his previous life, Liu Zhaosun naturally had no good feelings when he saw this civilian general who was defeated but had no death.
Before Liu Jing could speak, Liu Zhaosun retorted first:
"Kang Supervisor, the court paid military salaries, which was the duty of all. Lord Kang had never posted any less articles! Du Song had already been defeated and died, so there was no need to rescue him. We must protect ourselves here. Besides, the adoptive father paid military salaries, so he naturally had other plans..."
Kang Ying was shaking his beard and was quite angry. He had nothing to do with Zhejiang and looked down on these Qiu Bas. Besides, Liu Zhaosun was just a general, and his civil and military despicable. If he were not Liu Jing's adopted son, he would have been killed by himself.
After hearing this, Liu Jing's expression remained unchanged. After a long time, he turned around and said:
"Liu Zhaosun is abrupt, and I hope the military supervisor will be forgiven! Qi Shaobao's "State of Military Training" says: If the troops in the camp are fewer and more, it is not a wrong number, it must be accusing the soldiers and people, or spies. In this bitter and cold place, there are no people who can plunder. Just now, Liu Zhaosun reported to me that there were more strange faces in the camp."
Qi Shaobao's military books were quite popular among the generals of the Ming Dynasty at this time. Even civil officials like Kang Yinggan would buy one and study it carefully if they were in the army one day.
After hearing from Liu Jing that there were spies in the army, the face of the military supervisor changed slightly.
This time he led the Eastern Route Army to the north, and heard a lot of rumors about the Nu Zheng Yongjian's capture of Fushun and other places along the way. He also had a new understanding of the combat power of the Jianzhou Jurchen. Du Songmalin is not aware of the life or death. If Jiannu really lets the inside and outside cooperate and defeat the Eastern Route Army, there is no need for the court to blame him, he will be dead and have no place to be buried.
"General Liu paid his salary at this time, which not only encouraged morale and stood firm in the camp, but also took the opportunity to check the list, count the troops, eliminate spies, and rest on the spot. The way of using troops is nothing more than that. It is really a successful country!"
Liu Jing waved his hand and interrupted Kang Yinggan and said solemnly:
"I am responsible for the heavy responsibility and personally go to the dangerous places. We should work together. Now the war is in danger. If we can severely damage slaves and thieves, we will eliminate this great trouble for our emperor, and be promoted to a higher position and leave a name in history. It is no problem."
After all, Kang Yinggan was a civil servant. Although there was a difference between civil and military affairs, it was not the time to pay attention to this at this time. He knew that Liu Jing had something to say, so he quickly bowed.
"But I have another matter, and I must inform you in advance."
"General Liu just say that, I will do my best to help!"
Liu Jing looked up at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the military pay of each battalion had been paid. Dozens of Jiannu wearing Ming army battle jackets were found to be found and escorted to each battalion for public display.
The general's eyes turned to everyone around him, saying word by word:
"I have sent people to find out that the Marshal Jiang Hongli, who assisted the army in the fight, who was the North Korean Five Dog Capital, ordered his deputy general Pan Jingrui to discuss peace with Dai Shan before he set out from Changjun, North Korea, and informed the slave thieves of all the march routes of the Eastern Army!"
Kang Yinggan's eyes were wide open. He had been in Shandong for a long time and had a good impression of the monarch and ministers of Korea. He only regarded them as a country of gentlemen. He never expected that he would do such a beastly thing.
"This is serious?"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Zhaosun popularized the deeds of North Korea's Guanghaijun.
"When the Japanese invasion in Korea, North Korea's Xuanzong Li Bing fled to the Yalu River and asked for help from the emperor. He once asked to attach North Korea to Liaodong and left his crown prince Li Hui to fight against the Japanese. Li Hui is the current King of Korea, Guanghaijun."
"After the Japanese riots were pacified, Li Hui succeeded to the throne as Guanghaijun. Since he was not the eldest son, his throne had never been recognized by my Ming Dynasty. This guy was dissatisfied with my Ming Dynasty enthronement. He did not sincerely submit to the Ming Dynasty like his father Xuanzu, but instead dealt with the Ming Dynasty and the slave thief. The slave thief was a big shot, which was not unrelated to this guy!"
When Liu Zhaosun said this, he saw that everyone's face turned pale and added:
"Korean commander Jiang Hongli is the confidant of Gwanghae. It is said that he had a broken-hearted friendship with Li Hui. Gwanghae sent him to Liaodong. Before leaving, he reminded Jiang Hongli not to follow the words of the heavenly generals, but to be independent and invincible. In other words, they should protect themselves and let us be ahead! If necessary, sell us to slave thieves!"
Kang Yinggan's face turned pale and waved his fists and scolded:
"Shameless! How dare you let the Celestial Empire down so much! I, the Ming Dynasty, sent troops to expel Japanese pirates and helped them restore the country! There is no king or father! There is no king or father!"
He suddenly remembered something and suddenly realized:
"No wonder the Korean soldiers marched for no reason a few days ago. If Qiao Yiqi had not repeatedly urged him, I'm afraid he hadn't crossed the Yalu River yet!"
Kang Yinggan's face was gloomy. He was an official who fought from the prefect and the Ministry of War. When it comes to conspiracy, tricks and decisive decisions, it is even better than the military generals present.
"The general's subordinate Ye Busuo arrested a scout of Jiannu and found a secret letter from him. It was written by Dai Shan to Jiang Hongli. The letter is here. Please check the military supervisor!"
Kang Yinggan took the note from Liu Zhaosun. He knew the Manchu text and read it in public.
"Ru Guanghai Jun secretly made a secret agreement to capture Liu Jing alive, reward him with a thousand gold, capture the army supervisor, and reward him with a beautiful woman..."
Kang Yinggan calmly put away the note, looked up at Liu Jing, his face turned pale.
"It should be killed! I will explain to the emperor that the barbarians, no king or father, are like this. General Liu asked to do so. He just killed this person. I am afraid that the Korean soldiers will collapse and be difficult to maintain! What should I do?"
Liu Zhaosun looked at Liu Jing, and when his foster father nodded to him, he bowed to the military supervisor:
"We will go down the mountain immediately to boost morale and make a perfect plan. The Korean soldiers are still two hours away from here. Please ask Lord Kang and the guerrilla general Qiao Yiqi to explain the reason, so that he should not act rashly. As long as he kills Jiang Hongli's confidant servants, he will be given enough food and salary to the Korean soldiers. With such kindness and power, he will definitely be conquered!"
