c655 Unexpected

Li Sunchen looked at the young civil servant. He originally thought that the governor would send a military general to deal with North Korea and Jurchen affairs, but he did not expect that Su Ze sent such a young civil servant.

Shen has always had a calm attitude. He has always believed in the motto “Don’t be happy with things and don’t be sad with yourself.” He is very aloof in dealing with others, but he can always grasp the key to things.

After all, he was an envoy from the Kingdom of China, so Yi Sun-shin still asked:

“Does Sir Shen want to meet the Jurchen envoy?”

Shen Yiguan shook his head and said: “Why do you want to see the envoy of the rebel enemy chief? The Governor’s meaning is very clear. The Ming Dynasty is our enemy, but we cannot accept the Jurchens’ separatist rule outside the customs.”

Hearing Shen Yiguan’s words, Yi Sunchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, the Jurchens have continued to grow in Liaodong, and have begun to invade the Korean land south of the Yajiang River. They often plunder materials and people from the border.

But North Koreans dare to be angry but dare not speak out. If the Jurchens are recognized by the Southeast, North Korea may suffer more losses as a result of introspection.

Now that the Grand Governor Su Ze wants to suppress the Jurchens, the northern border of North Korea will finally be safe.

Shen has always been disdainful. He has no favorable impression of the so-called “big power” of the North Koreans, and his evaluation is even lower than that of Annan.

The so-called “big issue doctrine” means to submit to whoever is strong. The target of this big issue can be the Ming court, the Southeast, the Jurchens, or the Japanese.

In fact, on the historical timeline before Su Ze traveled through, North Korea did this.

In the Korean Anti-Japanese War in the Wanli Year, the Ming Dynasty obviously helped North Korea resist the Japanese invaders, but the Japanese behaved very cowardly, often surrendering without a fight or even formally surrendering.

Even in the early days of the war, because of the persecution of the Japanese state, they helped the Japanese state hide its ambition to invade and did not report the true developments of the Japanese state to the Ming court.

Later, when Hou Jin rose, North Korea also played both sides, betting on both sides. It did not appreciate North Korea’s help in the anti-Japanese war at all. Instead, it quickly fell to Hou Jin when Hou Jin gained momentum.

Shen Guangyuan has a very good understanding of North Korea, so he came here this time, on the one hand, to pave the way for the army in the southeast, and on the other hand, to completely make the North Korean soldiers and civilians lose their sense of luck, and they must fight bloody battles in the southeast.

Shen Yiguan said coldly:

“The Grand Governor has urgently mobilized troops to enter Liaodong from North Korea to put down the Jurchen Rebellion.”

“Before our southeastern army lands, I would like to ask Commander Li to organize the army to ensure the safety along the Yajiang River.”

Yi Sun-shin felt a little bitter in his heart. The situation he was most worried about had happened. Southeast would still have to pull North Korea into the war.

However, he had no choice but to refuse at this time and could only agree.

The two war machines of the Southeast and the Ming Dynasty were running at high speed for the Jurchens. If Li Rushe knew the result, he would probably not raise an army to rebel.

However, at this moment, there was no turning back when the bow was fired, and the Jurchen rebellion in Liaodong continued to intensify.

Even so, Li Ruzhen was not happy at all, because the development of the war was completely different from what he had imagined.

Due to the hatred between the Haixi Jurchens and the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Jianzhou Jurchens did not get the support of the Haixi Jurchens after they launched an army.

Although the Haixi Jurchens did not respond to Li Rusong’s call to send troops to fight against the Jianzhou Jurchens, the attitude of sitting back and watching made Li Rushe very uncomfortable.

His original slogan was to unite the Jurchens, so naturally he could no longer plunder the Haixi Jurchen tribe as before. Li Ruzhen could not plunder the Haixi Jurchen tribe, nor could he capture the Han people’s cities, so he could only plunder in the wild.

However, the winter in Liaodong was cold, and there were not many supplies outside the city. As the battle progressed, although it seemed that Li Ruzhen had occupied a large area of ​​territory, there was not enough food in these territories.

Not only was there no food, there was also an increasing shortage of warm clothing and heating fuel. The snowball scene that Li Rushe imagined did not appear.

Li Ruzhen saw more and more tribesmen turning to him, but the resistance of the Han landlords in the north was very fierce.

Li Chengliang was famous in Liaodong, and now the southeast is suppressing the Ming court. It can be seen with the naked eye that the new regime in the south is stronger than when the Ming Dynasty was first founded.

In this case, being a thief is not only a matter of integrity, but also pushes the family to complete destruction.

You must know that even the Ming Ting, who is now pulling his hips, also suppressed and beat the once powerful Mongolian Tumote tribe. Nowadays, landowners with a little knowledge know that war has completely changed.

Artillery and muskets greatly weakened the nomads’ horse advantage. The southwestern barbarian rebellion in Guizhou was quickly put down without even using much of the main southeastern force.

If you follow these barbarians and raise an army, your family will definitely be destroyed.

The landowners in the north themselves are all military and civilian forts, and there are many military and commercial villages in the north, and these places also have armed militias.

Relying on firearms and trenches, these armed militiamen exerted great power in defending their hometown. Li Ruzhen would have to pay a huge price if he wanted to attack these places.

There were so many people to support, the land in Liaodong was so barren, and the day when they imagined they would rush into the city and plunder did not appear at all, this made Li Rushe very anxious.

Li Ruzhen could only continue to send envoys to North Korea and submit requests to the southeast, hoping to wait for weapons and equipment support from the southeast.

As long as they can get the most advanced artillery in the southeast, they can break through Liaoyang City and obtain supplies and weapons. Then the Jurchens will have the opportunity to separate themselves from Liaodong. At worst, they can also establish a Bohai Kingdom and claim vassalage and pay tribute to the southeast like North Korea.

Li Ruzhen’s wishful thinking was loud and clear, but the envoys he sent to North Korea were like a cow drowning in the sea, and no news was brought back.

On the other side, Li Chengliang had already arranged the state affairs and personally led the new army in the two towns of the capital to prepare supplies and prepare to go north to quell the rebellion.

Li Ruzhen was anxious, and soon it was the end of January, when he finally expected that the envoy he sent to North Korea would return to the military camp.

“What are you talking about! Southeast rejected our request and said it would send troops from North Korea to destroy us!”

Li Ruzhen shook his body and almost fainted on the ground. He quickly grabbed the messenger and asked:

“Is your attitude not reverent enough? Did it offend the North Koreans?”

The messenger quickly knelt down and said:

“What an injustice! Patriarch! I was not able to meet North Korean Commander-in-Chief Li at all. I was imprisoned just after I submitted my credentials. I have been imprisoned until now. I have not been released. I have no chance to offend the North Koreans!”
