Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 614 Wu Sangui's Plan
Before he got close to Pidao Wharf, Zheng Zhilong found that the situation here seemed to be different from before he left.

Originally, North Koreans were rarely seen on Phi Island.But now, he found that many boats coming to Phi Island were carrying North Koreans.

In this regard, he is a bit strange.

Earlier, when the imperial court reopened Dongjiang Town, Zheng Zhilong was here for the first time in Liaodong.But he found that the court officials and soldiers were not welcomed by North Korea, they generally avoided them, and even had some hatred.

However, he doesn't worry about these things, because he only cares about the navy, and the situation in North Korea is more about Wu Sangui's affairs.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Zhilong probably guessed that it was probably related to the entry of Wa into North Korea.

Thinking this way, after he got ashore, he found that Wu Sangui had come to greet him in person, and enthusiastically dragged him to Wu Sangui's general office.

"Old Zheng!" Wu Sangui was quite enthusiastic, and said to Zheng Zhilong who had just sat down, "Good news, things have finally changed!"

"???" Zheng Zhilong was confused, but he could tell that there was something good going on, so he asked with a smile, "It's only been a few days since I've been away, so what's the good thing about making you happy?"

Wu Sangui heard this, and quickly said to him: "In the past, didn't you worry all the time, I only have three thousand cavalry as the main force, and the situation of the infantry will not be resolved for a long time?"

The intention of the imperial court is to supply Dongjiang Town with logistics materials from Shandong, but the training of the army is not a priority.

After all, the Shandong land destroyed the Kong family, and the big landlords such as King Lu needed the army to participate in the local rectification, and at the same time maintain stability without chaos, otherwise there would be problems with the supply of materials in Dongjiang Town.

In this way, Wu Sangui only had three thousand cavalry as the main force.

Originally, Wu Sangui didn't really care too much about it. With [-] cavalry, it would do a lot.

Unexpectedly, the first time he came, after leading the [-] cavalry for a while, Jianlu responded to his [-] cavalry.Although the mobility of the three thousand cavalry is strong, the ability to attack fortifications is not good, and he is reluctant to use the three thousand cavalry as infantry.

Therefore, Wu Sangui's original intention was to call the Liaodong Han people to form an infantry army, just like when Mao Wenlong was in Dongjiang Town.

Unexpectedly, after he had been in Dongjiang Town for so long, very few Liaodong Han people came to join him.It was later found out that it was Jianlu who moved all the Han people to the far north.

As a result, the hope of forming an infantry army with Liaodong Han people fell through.

Therefore, Wu Sangui decided to use North Koreans to form the infantry.

Unexpectedly, the North Koreans also kept a respectful distance from Dongjiang Town.As soon as they found the Ming army, they hid far away, and even tipped off Jianlu.

This situation made him never expect that the final formation of the infantry has been hanging in the air.

At this time, Wu Sangui saw Zheng Zhilong looking at him with a questioning look in his eyes, so he quickly explained: "Only during the time you have been away, Koreans began to vote, and I finally figured out what the reason is." !"

"What is it?" Zheng Zhilong asked with a little curiosity after hearing this.

So, Wu Sangui hurriedly told Zheng Zhilong the reasons he summed up.

In fact, this matter is not complicated.

The North Korean court's attitude towards Dongjiang Town has always been to stay at arm's length, and they don't want to have any intersections.

Mainly in the era of Mao Wenlong, in terms of combat effectiveness, it could not really help North Korea resist the attack of Jianlu; then, at that time, the Dongjiang army was poor, like a beggar, and had to often collect food, grass and materials from North Korea in the name of the suzerain country. had to give.If you can't give it, the Dongjiang Army will collect food and supplies by itself.

Therefore, North Korea up and down, did not have much favor for the Ming army in Dongjiang Town.Only those staunch pro-Ming factions in the Korean court would persuade the Korean court to support the Dongjiang Army.

However, Jianlu conquered North Korea twice and killed these steadfast supporters of the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, Daming was always suppressed and beaten by Jianlu. In the end, even the king of North Korea fell to Jianlu.

Without Mao Wenlong, the military discipline of Dongjiang Town was even worse. Not only did they fight each other, but they also robbed the Korean people for food in order to survive.

If you want to talk about how Jianlu treated the Korean people, it will definitely not work. There are a lot of burning, killing and looting.But more often, it is to put pressure on the imperial court to obtain North Korea's grain and grass materials.

After Jianlu was defeated by Daming twice in succession, under Hong Chengchou's suggestion, Jianlu changed his strategy towards North Korea.He began to buy the hearts and minds of North Korea, and wanted to turn the population of North Korea into Jianlu's own population, which would be used for land reclamation and farming in the north.

Although it is said that Jianlu didn't pay anything, compared with the previous burning, killing and looting, that moment was much more merciful.

Moreover, ordinary people in North Korea are oppressed the most, not by others, but by North Korea's own government.When those Jianlu cleaned up those officials, they almost took it easy on the common people of North Korea.

Therefore, when Dongjiang Town was rebuilt, based on the original impression and legend of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town, the Korean people naturally voted with their feet and chose to stand on the side of Jianlu.

The change of things, in the end, did indeed come from the landing of the Japanese army in North Korea, as Zheng Zhilong guessed.

The last time the Japanese army attacked North Korea, the soldiers even reached the Yalu River, almost harming the entire North Korea.At that time, the scourge of Japanese pirates to North Korea was absolutely naked, and North Korea went up and down, and it can be said that this impression was very deep.

Jianlu wants to cede North Korea to the Japanese pirates, which means that the North Koreans will live in dire straits from now on.At the same time, the North Koreans had a new understanding of Jianlu. It turned out that they were not rescued, but traded with Japanese pirates as ordinary goods.

Another point is that Jianlu tore off his hypocritical face in order to transport North Korea's population and food and supplies to Liaodong before the Japanese invaded and occupied North Korea.Not only forcibly demolishing North Korean families, but only taking away the young and strong, no matter the old or the weak, food, grass and materials are all collected, and everything that can be taken away is taken away.In the middle, there are so many joys and sorrows, not to mention human tragedies.

This scene deeply shocked the North Koreans, making them fully recognize the true face of Jianlu.

And the last one, after the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town, because of the comprehensive guarantee of logistics materials, it is different from the previous Mao Wenlong era. Therefore, the Ming army in Dongjiang Town will never rob North Koreans at all.It may even look miserable and give a little charity.

Under such a comparison, the Korean people rediscovered that the Ming army treated them better.

No matter what the Ming army did, they did not treat them like Jianlu.

Moreover, because of the re-invasion of the Japanese pirates, the memories of the Korean people were recalled, and they recalled that it was the Ming Dynasty that sent troops to rescue North Korea, and then drove the Japanese pirates back.

It is clear at a glance whether it is a man or a beast, a good man or a bad man.

As a result, the North Korean people began to take the initiative to defect to Dongjiang Town.

Wu Sangui's mouth was full of foam, and he said a lot, and after talking dryly, he finally explained to Zheng Zhilong.

In the end, he said to Zheng Zhilong even more excitedly: "Just a few days ago, with the help of those North Korean volunteers, I wiped out a group of more than 500 Jiankui, which can be regarded as a bit of military merit. The leader is still a set Jiala Erzhen of the blue flag!"

"Oh, congratulations!" Zheng Zhilong was a little surprised when he heard it, and said quickly.

Wu Sangui laughed, but for some reason, the figures of Aixinjueluo Abatai and Aixinjueluo Azige flashed past again, what a pity!
Seeing him like this, Zheng Zhilong reminded Wu Sangui based on his own experience: "You have to be careful about Jianlu sending spies inside!"

One of the means by which he can fight out from many pirates is to infiltrate the opponent, or simply buy him off.

Maybe on Wu Sangui's side, at the beginning, those North Koreans really came to vote sincerely.But there are many such situations, and Jianlu knows it, so he may not use this method of arranging internal responses.

Wu Sangui listened, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, Lao Zheng reminded me, I will be more careful when I look back."

After finishing speaking, he immediately went on to say to Zheng Zhilong: "Look, Lao Zheng, I have more and more people on my side, and I have some other ideas, but the logistics and military supplies are going to be under great pressure. You Look, do you want to play to the emperor with me and allocate more money and food to Dongjiang Town? By the way, Lao Zheng, you also need to support me more and bring the money and food over here?"

After Zheng Zhilong heard this, he didn't immediately agree, but reminded Wu Sangui: "Don't forget, we will eventually withdraw to the front line of Denglai!"

"I know, I know!" Wu Sangui answered quickly after hearing this, and then changed the topic and said, "But it's impossible for the Japanese Navy to come and attack our Dongjiang Town so soon, right? And I have another idea, as long as we The material reserves are sufficient, so let the Japanese Navy come to fight, can they still fight on Pidao?"

After finishing speaking, seeing that Zheng Zhilong wanted to speak, he hurriedly spoke first again: "Also, Lao Zheng, I have thought about it, if we withdraw to the Denglai line, how will our military achievements be made, and when will we be able to be named marquises?" General? I just thought, I have cavalry and infantry in my hands, and I will hide from the Japanese pirates in North Korea, will I be able to become a marquis and general as soon as possible?"

"..." Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help being speechless, looking at Wu Sangui, he didn't understand for a moment.

According to what Wu Sangui said, it would definitely take a lot of risk. How dare he do this?
Do you want to die for military merit?From what I know about him, it seems a bit unlike him!
