Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There were no Korean officials in the hall, they were all members of the Ming Dynasty's envoy. Zhang Yuan said solemnly: "Everyone, I just received a secret report from His Highness Lord Lingyang. The slave chief of Jianzhou sent an envoy to see the king of Korea and conspired against us, the Ming Dynasty.  , how should we respond?"

    Everyone in the hall had a look of shock and anger on their faces. Previously, because North Korea exported iron tools and gunpowder to Jianju, Zhang Yuan sternly condemned and threatened to return to the country without being canonized. Lord Gwanghae had promised to severely punish the officials who violated the prohibition.  They also sent this generous gift. From Zhen Zidan down to the Ming Dynasty envoy, everyone thought that this small disturbance would pass like this. But now there are actually Jianzhou envoys coming to Seoul to meet with Gwanghae Jun. The seriousness of the situation cannot be compared with prohibited trade.  Yes, and Lord Guanghai met with the envoy from the slave chief when the envoy of the Ming Dynasty arrived. This is contempt for the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and is equivalent to betraying the Ming Dynasty!

    Zhen Zidan was in Beijing at the end of last year to track down Jianzhou spies, and was quite aware of the intentions of the Jianzhou slave chiefs. On her way to North Korea as an envoy, she met Zhang Yuan to inspect the frontier preparations and analyze the military forces in Liaodong and Jianzhou. She was deeply influenced by Zhang Yuan and became angry at this time.  He said: "The King of Korea is ungrateful and actually colluded with the old slaves of Jianzhou under our noses. It is really a big deception - Mr. Zhang, we will return to the country early tomorrow morning under the imperial edict to report to the emperor and expose the crimes of the King of Korea."

    Zhang Yuandao: "The canonization ceremony will definitely be cancelled, but we still need to obtain evidence. We must capture the envoys of the founding of the state and bring them back to Beijing. This is our achievement. Coming to North Korea is by no means a waste of time."

    Zhen Zidan was promoted from Jinyiwei Baihu to Deputy Qianhu just because he had made meritorious service in tracking down the Jurchen spies. Now that he heard that he could make meritorious service again, he immediately became excited and bowed and said: "Master Zhang, please give the order. I am humble and obey orders."  The ten imperial guardsmen behind him also bowed and waited for orders.

    Zhang Yuandao: "There are ungrateful and dishonest people in North Korea, but most of them are loyal and righteous people. Your Highness Lord Ayang will help us capture those Jurchens. Everyone, be prepared and be on standby in the hall tonight."

    It was already the third watch, and everyone was sitting in the hall waiting quietly. The moonlight outside the hall moved eastward.  You can feel that time is slowly slipping away like quicksand. At nearly the fourth watch, Lord Lingyang Li Zhu came to report in person that the Jianzhou envoy had left the Saga Mountain Secret Garden and would return to Jianzhou via Beiyue Mountain. The Pingshan Festival envoy Li Gui had already arrived.  He personally led three hundred soldiers to Beiyue Mountain, which was less than ten miles away.

    Zhen Zidan immediately asked Zhang Yuan for orders: "Master Zhang, let the sergeant who went to Beiyue Mountain to help Li Duhu capture the Jianzhou envoy."

    Zhang Yuan wanted to personally experience the atmosphere of an ambush at night.  This is a valuable accumulation of experience, which cannot be obtained by studying in books. The Ming Dynasty and the Jurchen Jurchens in Jianzhou will have a long-term confrontation. In the future, he is likely to lead the army on his own and confront the Jurchen infantry and cavalry head-on.  Of course they are the elite of the Eight Banners Army. Tonight you can see the combat effectiveness of the Jurchen elite.  Said: "I'll take a trip too."

    Li Zhu quickly dissuaded him: "Master Zhang, there is no need to go. There are only thirteen envoys to establish the state, and Li Duhu has three hundred people. Everything is safe."

    Zhen Zidan said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will never allow a slave to escape from my humble position."

    Zhang Yuan insisted on going, so Li Zhu had no choice but to accompany him. The reception hall was tightly controlled by Li Zhu's personal guards and sergeants from the Pingshan Protectorate. Since the reception hall could not accommodate more people, Zheng Renhong, Liu Dongming and others lived in  Nearby Sungkyunkwan.  When Zhang Yuan and his party of dozens of people went out to meet the small gate of the official hall, mounted their horses and galloped towards Beiyue Mountain, Zheng Renhong, Liu Dongming and others were having a good dream.

    A full moon was about to set in the west, and the sound of horse hooves startled the birds in the trees on the roadside. They flew into the sky with a "flutter". They were about to reach the western pass of Beiyue Mountain. The moon set on the top of the mountain, and everything was dark. Pingshan City was running ahead.  The sergeant guarding the mansion has contacted Li Duhu's ambush troops, and Li Gui rushed to see Li Ju and Zhang Yuan.  Haven't said a few words yet.  The scouts ahead reported urgently that the thirteen Jianzhou envoys had entered the mountain road east of Beiyue Mountain¡ª¡ª

    ¡­¡­

    Fifteen people.  Of the nineteen horses, four were carrying boxes and packages, which were gifts given by Lord Gwanghae in return to Nurhachi. Two of the fifteen people were military officials of the Joseon Dynasty, holding talismans and responsible for delivering them to the building.  The state envoys arrived at the border of Yiju. The remaining thirteen people were the state envoys who were sent to North Korea this time. When this group of people entered Beiyue Mountain, the bright moonlight was blocked by the mountain peaks, and the mountain roads were dark. The Li Cao military officer who led the way  He slowed down his horse and turned around and said, "Master Nalan, this five-mile mountain road is rugged. Please rein in your horse and drive slowly."

    Someone agreed, and another person whispered in Jurchen language: "If we have contact, we have contact, if we break it, break it off. Why secretly ask us to leave Seoul overnight? It's really unreasonable."

    Someone sneered: "The King of Joseon wants to sit quietly in two rooms and watch the changes, and he will fall to whoever is stronger."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"Stop blabbering and walk carefully."

    A group of fifteen people were walking on the dim mountain road. As they approached the western mountain pass, they suddenly heard dozens of people shouting in unison: "Dismount and surrender, otherwise you will not be shot!" In the dimness, a dark group of people was seen blocking the way.

    The two leading the wayXianli Cao's military officials were shocked, and then shouted loudly: "We are Li Cao's troops, who are you, dare to block the road in an important place in the capital?"

    Someone in the crowd blocking the road said: "According to the imperial edict of Concubine Renmu, we must capture the traitors. Please dismount your horse as soon as possible and accept your surrender!"

    When the two Li Cao military officials heard that it was Concubine Renmu's edict, they were panicked and shouted: "Concubine Renmu has been deposed. Who are you? Dare to use Concubine Wang's edict to cause chaos?" They stepped back and wanted to exit the mountain road.  Returning the same way, I heard a Jurchen behind me shouting: "The retreat has been blocked, what's going on?"

    There was a sound of a sharp blade coming out of its sheath, and two Li Cao sergeants were forced to hold their swords on their necks. A Jurchen shouted: "Does Lord Guanghai want to get rid of us to flatter the Southern Dynasty?"

    With sharp blades on their necks, the two Li Cao sergeants were so frightened that they hurriedly denied it, saying that these people blocking the road were rebels and traitors, and they were definitely not sent by the king¡ª¡ª

    The ambushes at both ends of the mountain road slowly approached, blocking a group of Jurchens in the narrow mountain road. They kept threatening and ordering the Jurchens to dismount and surrender.

    Several Jurchens urgently discussed countermeasures, and someone said angrily: "Kill out, kill out!"

    Someone said: "This place is more than a thousand miles away from the border. How can we get out?"

    Someone else said: "If these people are North Korean rebels, they can escape as long as they fight their way out of the mountain road. If they are sent by Lord Gwanghae, they will have to fight to the death. No matter what, they cannot just tie themselves up and let others slaughter them."

    With a shout, more than ten Jurchen envoys rode towards the western mountain pass. A burst of arrows were fired in the face. Immediately, several people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. Because of the close distance, two Jurchen envoys had already rushed into the crowd blocking the road, holding pear wood in their hands.  The short sword struck out like lightning, and screams echoed across the mountain path¡ª¡ª

    It was dark and the mountain road was narrow. The advantage of the Korean infantry in large numbers could not be used. Moreover, from Li Gui on down, they all underestimated the enemy. They were ordered to capture these Jurchens alive. Unexpectedly, these thirteen Jurchens dared to fight against 300 people. The Protector of Pingshan  The elite Korean infantry in the mansion had long spears in their hands, but they suffered heavy casualties under the three-foot sword of the Jurchen warriors!

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Yuan dismounted and stood under a big tree at the east foot of Beiyue Mountain. The darkness before dawn was thick. He could only hear the sounds of fierce fighting dozens of feet away, but could not clearly see the scene of the battle between the two sides. Lingyang Jun Li Zhu stood beside him.  The man beside him said: "These Jurchens dare to resist, they want to die quickly."

    Zhang Yuan remained silent and listened attentively, but he could hear the sounds of weapons clashing, rolling to the ground, and screams of pain. Those sounds were getting closer and closer. There were more than a hundred soldiers from the Pingshan Protectorate on this side of the mountain road.  How could you not stop those thirteen Jurchens!

    Zhang Yuan shouted: "Zhen Qianhu, be on guard against any Jurchens breaking through. We must not let any of them go."

    Zhen Zidan agreed and led ten Jinyi guards to guard the mountain pass together with more than ten guards from Lingyang Lord Li Zhu. Wang Zongyue, Mu Jingyan, Hong Ji, Hong Xin, Ma Kuoqi and She were accompanying Zhang Yuan.  The six Ba people were motionless. They were responsible for Zhang Yuan's safety. There were so many people in front of them, so they shouldn't need to take action.

    The twilight was dim, the figures were chaotic, and roars were heard. One person was holding two short-handled half-moon axes, and rushed out like a black whirlwind Li Kui, followed by two more people. They were originally riding horses, but the horses were chopped down in the melee.  The three men fought on foot and broke out¡ª¡ª

    When Zhen Zidan saw that there was actually a Jiannu rushing out to fight, she shouted: "Where can I escape!" He stepped forward quickly, and slashed the waist of the Jurchen man with double axes with the embroidered spring knife in his hand. The path and angle of the knife were just right.

    Unexpectedly, the big man with the ax did not dodge, but struck him head-on with the ax. Although the half-moon ax of the big Jurchen man was short-handled, it was more than two feet long. Zhen Zidan's knife could certainly cut into the waist of the big Jurchen man.  But it was difficult to dodge the ax at the head. Zhen Zidan was not here to fight for his life. He was shocked and dodged to avoid the axe. Of course, the knife he slashed at his opponent was in vain -

    Another Jurchen broke out of the siege, but she was exhausted from her injuries. She was caught up by a North Korean sergeant and stabbed to death on the ground with swords and guns.

    The big Jurchen man slashed wildly, forcing Zhen Zidan and several imperial guards to retreat, and shouted: "Seize the horse, seize the horse, protect Buck¡ª¡ª"

    Suddenly, a big spear pierced the target quickly and unpredictably. The big Jurchen man couldn't dodge and was stabbed in the left chest by the spear. It was Mu Jingyan who took the shot. Spear versus short axe, it was an infantry battle again. Mu Jingyan's marksmanship  Outstanding, he naturally saw success with one strike, he immediately raised the gun and used force, the tip of the gun penetrated into the chest. The big Jurchen screamed and flew out with two axes. One of them hit the chest of a Jin Yiwei, and the other missed.

    Mu Jingyan shook his big gun and drew out the tip of the gun. The big Jurchen man fell to the ground and died. The other two people were also chopped to the ground by Jin Yiwei and Li Jie's guards respectively¡ª¡ª

    It was already dawn, and the Korean sergeants at both ends of the mountain road gathered together. Pingshan Jiedushi Li Gui counted the casualties. Ten of the thirteen Jurchens were killed, one was seriously injured, two were slightly injured, and the two ceremonial soldiers who led the way were found.One of the soldiers died in the melee, and the other surrendered on the spot. However, seventeen of Li Gui's sergeants were killed, 29 were seriously injured, and 15 were slightly injured. The captain of the Imperial Guard was hit by a flying axe.  He also died on the spot. This result made Li Gui both ashamed and frightened, so he apologized to Ayang Lord Li Zhu¡ª¡ª
