【Chapter 727】Sell some weapons first?
At the beginning, the Ming army in Liaodong launched an attack on Jianlu. Under the strict order of the Liaodong governor Yang Hao, the North Korean side also sent an army of 13,000 to assist in the war. The leader was Jiang Hongli, a colleague of Li Erzhan (not Zheng Hongli). When he went to war, Jiang Hongli was the Marshal of the Capital, Jin Jingrui was the Deputy Marshal of the Capital, and Jin Yinghe, a general of the Left Camp. As a result, the Ming army was defeated, and the Korean army was also defeated, and almost all of the 13,000 people were lost. Jin Yinghe was killed in battle and Jin Jingrui fled. Jiang Hongli himself was even more exaggerated and simply surrendered to Jianlu.
Since this battle, North Korea has had an inexplicable sense of fear of the Great Jin army. According to the soldiers who fled back, the brave Great Jin soldiers were simply not humans. They used bows and arrows in their hands, as well as weapons such as axes and spears to greatly harm the Koreans. The Great Jin army, which had less than a thousand people, defeated the 13,000 Korean army, and forced the commander of the North Korean army to surrender to the Great Jin Kingdom.
Due to the impact of this defeat, the whole country of North Korea seemed quite nervous about the newly emerging enemy in the north. On the opposite side of the sea, there were aggressive Japanese pirates. Behind him, there were also Jurchens who were fearless. The life of the Korean King Lee Hung was indeed difficult. Therefore, the burden he gave Li Erzhan was quite heavy. If Li Erzhan could not request effective assistance from the Central Plains dynasty, the Kingdom of Korea would definitely suffer this time.
Li Erzhan had never had contact with the White Army before, and had no idea about the combat effectiveness of the White Army. Therefore, he was always very uneasy. If the combat effectiveness of the White Army was not as good as the Ming army before, what should we do? The Japanese pirates came in a fierce manner this time, and their troops seemed to be stronger than last time, and they were more prepared. It would be strange if Li Erzhan was not worried.
The Ming army more than 20 years ago was much more capable than the current Ming army. At that time, the Liaodong cavalry led by Li Rusong was still very powerful. Ma Gui and others were also very capable of fighting. Ordinary Ming soldiers dared to fight against the Japanese pirates. Even so, the battle between the Chinese and Korean coalition forces and the Japanese pirates was very difficult, and the price paid by both sides was quite large.
What I never expected was that before the Japanese pirates landed, a huge enemy appeared behind them. According to the description of Korean soldiers, the soldiers of the Great Jin Kingdom were even more brutal and fierce than the Japanese pirates. Four or five Korean soldiers could barely tie the game with one Japanese pirate, and would not suffer a loss. However, if the Great Jin army was tied, at least seven or eight people were needed. Li Erzhan's heart was really completely lifted.
Fortunately, in the eyes of the Korean army, the Jin army, who was extremely brave, came to the White Army, just like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, and only the only thing left to be slaughtered.
Li Erzhan roughly estimated that he saw thousands of corpses of Jianlu around Yangguan Fort. In other words, the White-Clothed Army killed at least thousands of soldiers of the Great Jin army. As for the Jianlu's war horses killed by the White-Clothed Army, and the number of war horses seized, there were even more.
If Li Erzhan had not personally set foot on the land of Yangguan Fort, witnessed Jianlu's corpse with his own eyes, and smelled the corpse with his own eyes, he would never believe it. The contrast between the White Army and the Korean Army was too great. In front of the Great Jin Army, the Koreans would eat a pot of vegetables at will. In front of the White Army, the Great Jin Army would eat a pot of vegetables at will.
Originally, Zhang Tianhao was basically responsible for receiving foreign envoys. Unfortunately, during this period, Zhang Tianhao's health has been not very good, and he was not suitable for the environment and vomited and had diarrhea. Xu Xingxia asked him to rest temporarily later. The hunting cavalrymen were all big and rough since Liu Chuang. However, Mao Wenlong was very knowledgeable about his writing, so Xu Xingxia asked Mao Wenlong to participate in the meeting. Moreover, Mao Wenlong's identity was quite special and he could do anything.
After meeting between the two sides, Li Erzhan saluted respectfully and said sincerely to Xu Xingxia: "Your Highness, our North Korea and the Central Plains have always been friendly and friendly, and they are as close as father and son. If one side is in trouble, the other side should help..."
Xu Xingxia answered calmly: "I know."
If others say all the words like father and son, what else can he say? If he continues not to show the other party a good look, he is afraid that the other party will be unable to bear it. It seems that the pressure under the Koreans is indeed very large, so great that it exceeds Xu Xingxia's expectations. If they are desperate and decide to surrender to the Great Jin Kingdom, it will be troublesome.
By the way, their traitor Jiang Hongli was quite active in the Great Jin Dynasty and had a good relationship with Great Beile Daishan. It was not impossible for the Koreans to defect to the Great Jin Dynasty to have such a traitor in the middle. In fact, Li Hui, the man from Guanghaijun, has always had a tendency to take several boats, which is very unreliable.
Li Erzhan nagged a lot of polite words before slowly turning to the point and said tactfully: "Now, the clown in the East China Sea has the intention to covet our country. If he lets him run rampantly, our country will certainly suffer disaster, even if the face of the Celestial Empire is not worthy of it..."
He is worthy of being a talented person from a Jinshi and the number one among two nobles. His eloquence is naturally very good. He covered up with a tall hat and felt that if Xu Xingxia did not send troops to aid North Korea immediately, he would be despicable, crazy, cruel and cold-blooded. If the Japanese himself successfully landed, the Koreans would have nothing, but the face of the Celestial Empire would be lost. As the commander of the White Army, Xu Xingxia would be sorry for the motherland and the people...
Xu Xingxia was secretly amused. Li Erzhan actually used the chicken method to him? Well, this is indeed a good idea. To be honest, he really took his tricks. There is no other reason, it is the Japanese. As a Chinese who traveled through time in the future, it is natural to say that he hated Japanese. No matter where the Japanese were causing trouble, when they were causing trouble, or what they wanted to do, the white-clothed army would never stand idly by.
Therefore, Xu Xingxia was too lazy to say some twists and turns. In front of the bayonet of the White Army, there was no need for any kind of polite words. He said to Li Erzhan directly: "Don't worry, our army is unavoidable to help North Korea. Our army will definitely help your army fight against the invasion of Japanese pirates. Mao Wenlong, after this battle, you can follow Lord Li to North Korea to understand the situation on the spot and prepare in advance for our army to enter North Korea!"
Mao Wenlong was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly again. Why did the Chairman always treat himself as a waste and throw him around everywhere? What should I do to go to North Korea? What should I do if I need to investigate? The Ming army entered North Korea before, and did not say that I would investigate in advance! Xu Xingxia was really troubled and didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd. However, if I think about it carefully, if I didn't have the White Army as a backing, I would be really a waste.
Li Erzhan was also stunned. He did not expect Xu Xingxia to agree so readily, so straightforward, and so no room for maneuver. His heart fell to the ground, and his expression suddenly became relaxed. He felt relieved and said happily: "Your army is so kind and great virtue, I will never forget it. On the day your army arrives, our country will inevitably eat pots of slurry and walk back to greet you."
Xu Xingxia nodded and said bluntly: "Mao Wenlong is a military observer stationed by our army in your country. If you have any situation, you can just look for him."
Li Erzhan couldn't help but have some suspicion of Mao Wenlong. What does this mean by a military observer? He is neither an imperial envoy nor a plenipotentiary representative, just observe it like this? Originally, what he meant was convenient for me, Xu Xingxia. Many things, except Xu Xingxia, were unable to make decisions. He was the most familiar with this.
However, when Xu Xingxia asked them to do this, Li Erzhan had no choice. Since Mao Wenlong, a military observer, wanted to observe it, please let him observe it carefully. Today's meeting was finally a good start. At least, Xu Xingxia did not refuse to provide assistance to North Korea. As long as Xu Xingxia spoke, the rest would be a matter of details.
Xuxing County suddenly said: "If your country wants, you can buy some weapons from our army."
Li Erzhan was immediately interested. His little eyes quickly turned, obviously paying attention. However, for some reason, he was always reserved and did not speak. In fact, what the Koreans are most interested in is this. He was thinking about how to find an excuse to bring the topic to this aspect, but unexpectedly, Xu Xingxia took the initiative to mention it.
If the White-Closed Army enters North Korea in large quantities, the North Korean side is still a little worried. They are worried that while fighting Japanese pirates, the White-Closed Army will also put some pressure on the political situation of North Korea. It is even possible to directly use force to change the political situation of North Korea. After all, foreign troops are threatening at any time. It is not completely impossible to help in time and use the way to attack Guo. The key is what Xu Xingxia thinks.
The current king of North Korea, Gwanghae-jun Lee Hui, came to power through abnormal channels. After he came to power, he has never been officially or publicly recognized by the Ming Dynasty. The current state is just acquiesce to Gwanghae-jun. If the Ming Dynasty is unhappy when he sees Li Hui and insists on stepping down, Li Hui's situation will be very embarrassing. However, if he only buys weapons, there will be no such concerns.
