Chapter 14 Marshal of Peace Road Capital
"Haha, you also know that although I am a Han and my hometown is in Shanxi, I grew up in Mobei. Now I occupy such a huge territory but it is still empty..."
Wu Zhi now understood a little bit, "No! If you want people from the Ming Dynasty to go to Mobei, not to mention that the emperor will not agree, and the princes in the court will not agree either."
"oh?"
Nikan stood up.
"Everyone, I heard that Shandong and Liaodong have suffered from severe drought and severe cold in recent years. The situation in North Korea is also very different. Under the conditions of cold and hunger, many people died of freezing and starvation."
"I won't talk about the Dingkou of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that in the Liaodong Islands and the Dingkou of Korea, many Han people starved to death and froze to death. Although the area under the jurisdiction of this Khan is a bit colder, it is fertile with fertile land and water plants. Fengmei, if a large number of Dingkou can go there..."
"Bang!" Suddenly someone slapped the case and stood up. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Shen Shikui, who was known as a "good old man and a sweet man" in the past. They saw that his eyes were filled with tears, and his black and white beard, which was more than a foot long, was covered with tears. The water drops, I don’t know if they are tears or wine.
"I think it's feasible"
"My lords, when the old slave was in power, there was a massacre in Liaodong. The Han people fled to Dongjiang Town and North Korea. Unfortunately, since Marshal Mao was killed, the food and wages have become less and less day by day. It is not possible to support the families of the soldiers. What can I do? Can it feed a large number of civilians?”
"I am an old man from Dongjiang Town. This matter has been clear from the beginning."
"In the past few years, more than a million Han people have come to the Dongjiangzhen Islands and North Korea. As General Ningbei said, the Ming Dynasty was full of disasters. In recent years, there have been either severe droughts or heavy snowfalls. The soldiers and civilians on the islands were originally There were 100,000 people, but now there are less than 50,000. Where have these missing people gone? They will starve to death or freeze to death!"
"There were originally nearly a million Han people in North Korea's Ping'an Road, but..."
Nikan's heart was clenched again.
"The last time the Jian slaves went south to attack North Korea, they kidnapped more than 100,000 people. In the past few years, they starved to death and froze to death. The total number of people killed by the North Korean officials was no less than 300,000. I don't know if there are 500,000 left. By luck, Most of those who survived became slaves of the Korean nobles, barely surviving."
"These are the people of the Ming Dynasty. It's fine if Shandong doesn't accept them. However, Dongjiang Town cannot sit idly by and ignore it. Unfortunately, the islands are barren and it is impossible to open up the land, so..."
At this time, Nikan understood something in his heart. It was not that Ming Dynasty did not want to deal with it, but that it was more than willing and weak. The power of the Little Glacier weather was not only harmful to Liaodong and North Korea, but Ming Dynasty was probably also unable to protect itself.
He quickly took over the conversation, "What I am talking about is the hundreds of thousands of people in North Korea. If they can move to the Nuergandusi area, not only will there be a lot of fertile land for farming, but it will also greatly supplement the strength of the Dusi."
Seeing the doubtful looks in everyone's eyes, Nikan understood in his heart, "I am originally a Han, and I consider everything for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. If slaves are established in the future, and there are a large number of Han people in the northern border of the Tartars, wouldn't the border of the Ming Dynasty be settled once and for all?"
Shen Shikui nodded, "Originally, I thought that these million Han people would all become Koreans in the end. Now that General Ningbei is here, it is great, but it is not easy to get it done at this time."
"Most of the Han people live in the mountains near the sea in Yongsan, Seoncheon, Tieshan and Guosan counties of North Korea's Pingan Road. Some of them have been included in the category of North Korean tax-paying farmers by Ping'an Road observers, but a large number of Dingkou are in Build a stronghold on the mountain to protect yourself”
"Let me in!"
Before Shen Shikui finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Hearing this sound, Shen Shikui and Huang Long frowned.
Nikan smiled and said, "Who is this? Why don't you let him in?"
"Alas!" Shen Shikui sighed heavily, "To be honest, General, this person's name is Lin Maochun. He was originally one of the generals under my command in Dongjiang Town. After Marshal Mao died, he was assigned to Liu Aita's position.
Under his command, he finally came under the command of Liu Xingzhi. The previous turmoil on the island was mostly related to Liu Xingzhi."
"Liu Xingzhi committed a heinous crime, but some of the Dongjiang Town Army officers and soldiers who belonged to him were innocent. After several turmoils, there were not many soldiers who belonged to Liu Xingzhi, and about a thousand people were transferred to Lin Maochun.
"under his command"
Nikan nodded. No wonder Sun Jiaji said that the "three guerrillas" were so majestic, but he didn't expect that this person was in the wrong team.
But what about the other two?
Thinking of this, Nikan said: "The matter is over, let him come in."
Not long after, a big man came in from the door. His height was also rare in this era. He was about 1.80 meters tall. He was in his thirties and had a full beard. At first glance, he looked very powerful, but upon closer inspection, he looked very powerful.
It has a skeletal shape and looks like it could fall down with just a push.
After the man came in, he ignored the others, came directly to Shen Shikui, and knelt down with a "plop".
"Old Shen, for the sake of the elderly in Dongjiang Town, please save Qu Chengen and the others."
Shen Shikui looked helpless, and Nikan quickly asked: "Master Shen, what's going on?"
"Alas", Shen Shikui helped Lin Maochun up, picked up a big bowl, took a big bowl of food on the table, and then handed it to Lin Maochun, "Eat first, what you said didn't happen."
Save, now there is help.”
While Lin Maochun was squatting behind and devouring his food, Nikan was a little dissatisfied with Shen Shikui. A dignified guerrilla general had such a miserable life. As you can imagine, other middle and low-level officers and ordinary soldiers were living in such a miserable state.
"Great Khan", Shen Shikui did not say the word "general" at this time, "I just said that many Han people formed strongholds on the Sijun Mountains near the sea on North Korea's Ping'an Road to protect themselves. The two largest strongholds were built by me.
Dongjiang Town was governed by former military generals, and the one who governed Tieshan County was the old man from Dongjiang Town, Qu Chengen, one of the famous three guerrillas under Marshal Mao."
"He took about 50,000 Han households to the mountains and built many villages. The land in North Korea was already barren, and it was still in the mountains. How could it feed so many people? So Qu Chengen would bring some of his best men down the mountain to plunder from time to time.
"
"At first, the North Korean officials turned a blind eye. They didn't care about ordinary farmers anyway. But later, due to severe drought and severe cold, farmers in Tieshan County fled to the south one after another. Qu Chengen and the others could only go to the city.
march"
"This has angered the North Korean officials here. This person's name is Jin Zidian. He was originally the Gongcao Banshu of North Korea, oh, equivalent to the Minister of Industry of the Ming Dynasty. In recent years, he was sent to Pingan Road to command the northwest.
Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Horses, Commander-in-Chief of Observers"
"Jin Zidian immediately sent troops to suppress it. Unfortunately, Qu Cheng'en was also a talented general, but he was no match for the Koreans despite the hunger and cold. He was eventually driven into the stronghold. Now Jin Zidian's army is still surrounding the stronghold.
The Japanese attack was very urgent. When Jiannu came over, he slowed down a bit. Just after Jiannu was defeated, he started to attack again. He heard that the people in the village had already started..."
"Start with what?" Nikan asked quickly.
"Start eating human flesh!"
"ah?!"
Nikan was shocked, but everyone present looked indifferent.
"Let's go!" Nikan pulled Shen Shikui up.
"General, where are you going?"
"Where else, Tieshan County!"
"ah?"
…
Nikan set out with forty large ships, Shen Shikui, and Shen Zhixiang with twenty navy ships from Dongjiang Town. Along the way, Nikan had people make a lot of steamed bread with rye.
After sailing into the coastal waters of North Korea, Nikan suddenly asked: "Master Shen, where are the main naval vessels of the North Korean Kingdom?"
Shen Shikui was stunned. If he didn't rush to Tieshan County to rescue the Han refugees, why would he ask?
"Sweat profusely," Shen Zhixiang spoke at this time. He was a muscular man less than thirty years old, with an elusive smile on his face.
"The navy of the Kingdom of Korea is divided into two branches, known as the East Sea and the West Sea. The navy is located on the east and west sides of the country, especially the West Sea. The navy of the West Sea is focused on Gyeonggi Province and Pyongan Road. The Kingdom of Korea is now with We have good relations with Japan. There is nothing important in the east or south."
"Ping'an Road in the northwest borders the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu, so it is a top priority. Wang Jing, the navy guard of Gyeonggi Road, is also very careless, but..."
"But what?"
"Haha, Khan, the navy of Gyeonggi Province has been destroyed by your navy."
"Oh? Where are the navy masters of Ping An Road?"
"Well, mainly in Yiju, Chelsan, and Seoncheon."
"What about the Han people's village?"
"It is said to be in Iron Mountain, but it is actually under the jurisdiction of the Turtle City Protectorate of the Kingdom of Korea. There are mountains everywhere, and even Koreans rarely farm there. Iron Mountain is just a name, but it actually refers to It is a large mountainous area to the north and east of Cheolsan County, Seoncheon County, and Uijumok.”
"It will be difficult for the Han people to come out."
"It's not difficult. Look, Khan, that big river flows down from the mountains. Koreans call it Daning River. Most of the Han people's villages are on the mountains near Daning River. There is also a river flowing from the mountains near Tieshan County. It flows into the sea near the city, but that mountain is controlled by another person."
"oh?"
"This man's name is Wang Chengluan, and he is also a veteran of Dongjiang Town. However, compared with Qu Chengen, this man is much slimmer and gets along better with the North Korean officials. However, due to the lack of food, it is also very difficult..."
"Start attacking!"
Before Shen Zhixiang finished speaking, Nikan issued an order to attack the Korean wooden house boats parked at the mouth of the Daning River.
"Khan, what are you..."
Shen Zhixiang's voice was trembling, but Nikan smiled and said: "I need those cabin boats."
In the next few days, Nikan did not go to Qu Chengen's village. Instead, he asked Sun Jiaji's fleet to start from the mouth of the Daning River and sweep all the way north. When they reached the mouth of the Yalu River, they captured about a hundred wooden houses. Because of the support of the oarsmen of "Guanghai Lord's Sinful General and Sinful Pawn", Nikan's capture of these ships was smooth sailing.
After doing this, Nikan led the fleet into the Daning River with great pride.
…
There is a large camp in the northwest of Turtle City near the mountains.
In the Chinese military tent, a North Korean civilian official in his early forties was sitting on an official chair and listening to a report from his generals.
"...If this happens, our navy in the West Sea will be completely destroyed..."
The civil servant looked normal, as if he didn't care at all if the navy ships in the western sea area of the kingdom were destroyed.
The general who was kneeling on the ground to report couldn't help coughing when he saw this, "Sir, our Kingdom of Korea has a vast territory and rich products. If the ships are gone, we can just build them again, that is..."
The civil servant frowned and said, "What is that? You are also a dignified third-grade military attaché, why are you so hesitant?"
A third-grade military officer knelt in front of a second-grade civil servant. The kneeling man did not feel any humiliation at all, but looked very happy.
Party strife, aristocratic families, and the use of culture to control military force are even worse in today's Joseon Kingdom than in the Ming Dynasty.
"Sir, there are no ships in the West Sea. Your Majesty will definitely transfer those from the East China Sea first. Then..."
It turns out that this civil servant is Jin Zidian, a proper boss of the Xihai School.
"The Donghai sect will be in power then." Thinking of this, Jin Zidian couldn't help but sweat break out on his forehead.
When I saw this person in the blink of an eye, I felt an inexplicable disgust in my heart.
"I am known as the giant of the Xihai Sect, but I didn't even expect this."
"Okay, I know this. You can go down first."
"Report..."
Before the general got up, another shout came from outside the door, and then someone broke in.
"Sir...wuwuwu, no...ok, there are a large number of enemy ships on the river!"
