The Heavenly Warriors are here!

It was like thunder on the ground. It spread around the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 14th year of Chongzhen. After entering the Pekan Road in northern Korea, it did not continue to march southward.

However, although the large group of people did not continue to march south, the Ming army's reconnaissance cavalry attacked everywhere. As the vanguard's cavalry, they even crossed the Datong River for a while. They were conducting reconnaissance to determine the obstacles on the road to the army's southward.

As before, when we investigate Jiannu Xu, we always encounter Korean people who are competing to reward the heavenly soldiers. Yang Zhen and the others are naturally more moved by this. Even the chiefs were moved by them and repeatedly told the officers and soldiers that we should not force the Korean people to steal things. In a word, we should give silver to eat.

Well, the North Koreans don’t need silver, they use copper coins. As a result, the big guys have to bring copper coins when they go out, but even if they throw a few coins at the North Koreans when they eat. Naturally, they feel a burst of gratitude. For a moment, the reputation of a benevolent and righteous army and a mighty army spread throughout most of North Korea.

Amidst a burst of gratitude that day, Yang Zhen and the others had just left a Korean market and met a group of North Koreans halfway, leading a Korean civil servant.

The civil servant immediately walked over with joy when he saw them and bowed:

"Xiao Guan has seen all the heavenly soldiers in the heavenly cities. Thank you for your hard work!"

Although he was born into a general, Yang Zhen was just a whistle leader. Although he knew that North Korea was a vassal state, he was still flattered by the civil servants so complimented:

"No, no, no, sir."

"The heavenly soldiers travel thousands of miles to save North Korea. The Heavenly Kingdom is so kind and virtuous. How can we repay the North Korean Yushui and Fire twice?"

The civil servant said excitedly:

"In order to save North Korea, all the heavenly soldiers will sacrifice their families and go to war. Please take care of your health."

Yang Zhen and others naturally nodded repeatedly for such advice. These days, they have become accustomed to the compliments of the North Koreans, and of course they are also used to such kindness.

Yang Zhen couldn't help asking:

"I don't know the name of Mr.?"

The civil servant smiled and said:

"Lin Qingye, the official of the Xia Dynasty, learned that the soldiers of the Celestial Empire came to aid Korea, and specially brought food and grass to reward the soldiers."

Lin Qingye?

Yang Zhen naturally didn't know about this name. If Mao Chengzhi was here, he would definitely scold him - Old Dog!

When the Qing Dynasty attacked Pi Island, he asked North Korea to send troops to assist him in the attack. North Korea sent a naval army to support him, which was to use Lin Qingye as the marshal. In that battle, the Qing army won the victory, and the Ming army suffered heavy casualties. In this regard, the fall of Pi Island was indeed the Koreans who had Lin Qingye's responsibility.

In history, in the 13th year of Chongzhen, during the Battle of Songjin, Lin Qingye once again supported the Qing Dynasty as the marshal of the Korean support army. But this time, he sent a monk to the Ming army again to reveal the plan of the Qing Dynasty. During this battle, the Korean army did not really conflict with the Ming army. Later, a general under Lin Qingye surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and revealed his relationship with the Ming army. The Qing Dynasty immediately sent envoys to North Korea, forcing North Korea to hand over Lin Qingye and escort to Shenyang. He escaped on Huanghai Road, entered a Buddhist temple, cut his hair into a monk, and fled to the Ming Dynasty the following year.

When he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng had just captured Beijing, Chongzhen committed suicide and died for his country. Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass. Lin Qingye fought side by side with the Ming general Ma Tenggao. Although he was later defeated and captured, he served the Ming Dynasty as a Korean and was considered a loyal minister.

After he learned that the Celestial Army had crossed the Yalu River, he immediately came to reward the Celestial Army with thousands of stones of military rations. He never thought that he would meet Yang Zhen and the others here.

When Lin Qingye learned that these heavenly soldiers were carrying out missions, he naturally had some concerns and instructed him, and then led his soldier Ding Lifu away and rushed towards Yizhou.

Looking at their left behind, Lin Qingye and his soldiers fell into silence in an instant, and they always sighed in their hearts.

"The North Koreans are so righteous people everywhere!"

"That's right, when we were waiting for a stay yesterday, the North Koreans actually asked the maid to come and serve us. Not only did they deliver food to us, but they sent the maids and maids to reward us. Such a place full of righteous people is really a good place."

"That's right, what a good people!"

...

The entire Ping'an Road was filled with Korean officials, civilians and other people who were spontaneously rewarding the army. There were officials, landlords, and scholars. Even ordinary people, when they met soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, even if they couldn't take out anything to reward the army, they would kneel on the ground and kowtow respectfully to express their gratitude.

In just three or five days, the Pinglu Army had already known the "loyalty and righteousness" of the Koreans. So much so that when the entire army talked about the Koreans, they all gave a thumbs up and praised the "Loyalty and righteousness" by the way. Such praise made the Koreans feel more honored, and even more grateful to the soldiers of the Celestial Empire.

Of course, all this was definitely beyond Zhu Guoqiang's expectations. After all, he originally thought that he would only receive support from the Korean scholars, but no one expected that with the "help" of the Qing Dynasty, the Koreans actually praised the Celestial soldiers to this level. It was no wonder that while killing people and robbing women, they did not beat or scold them, and even paid for buying things. Such a good soldier was there, and it was clearly a living Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.

On the fifth day after crossing the river, Lin Qingye, who led hundreds of Korean soldiers and thousands of Korean Lifu, finally came to the Heavenly Soldier Camp. After revealing his identity, he was naturally summoned.

As soon as he saw General Pinglu and Prince De, he immediately knelt down and apologized for his forced troops to attack the Tianchao soldiers under the order of the king. Zhu Guoqiang naturally chose to forgive such an old crime. After all, "Chinese fundamentalists" like Lin Qingye were indeed what he needed. Moreover, in history, he was indeed loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Now it is the time to use people. In the process of annexing North Korea, he cannot do without "spiritual Chinese" like him. In fact, they are not just spiritual Chinese. They not only recognize themselves as Chinese in their hearts, but also in their actions.

At least for China, the spirit of losing one's way back is indeed what the Ming Dynasty needs.

Lin Qingye was naturally grateful for the prince's forgiveness. Then he naturally knew everything he said, and even took the initiative to ask the prince's question.

"... The king surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after the "Bingzi's chaos", and this move was already "offending the world". Although the king surrendered that day, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he should "sacrifice himself for justice". How could he surrender to the Qing Dynasty for his own private affairs? At present, many officials in North Korea believe that the king should abdicate, and some even advocate "destroying the Meng Ming"..."

When he said this, Lin Qingye looked at the prince in front of him and his tone seemed a little hesitant. Zhu Guoqiang, who had done some homework to the Korean ministers before, naturally knew that Lin Qingye had participated in the "coup" of the deposed King of Korea in history and returned to the Ming Dynasty. He knew this immediately.

"Although King Li was forced to do nothing, he could not stop the crime of betraying Hua and abandoning Ming. Korea has been a vassal of our Ming Dynasty for three hundred years and has been loyal and righteous for generations. How can such a loyal and righteous country be king with such a traitor? It should be abolished!"

The last three words came into my ears, and Lin Qingye's heart was shocked. He looked at the prince and immediately bowed.

"The subordinate understands."

Then he tentatively tentatively.

"Criminal Master, I heard that the prince and the great king were rescued by the general in Chenyang last year. I wonder if the prince and the great king can be in the camp at present?"

Lin Qingye came here one was to contact the Ming Dynasty and ask them whether they supported the "destroyed king", while the other was to ask the whereabouts of the prince and the great king. After all, Huang Taiji entered North Korea using this as an excuse.

"Crown Prince Zhaoxian is still in Liaodong, but Master Fenglin is in the camp. You can go to see him later."

It is very simple and easy to deal with smart people. There is no need to say it clearly at all. Lin Qingye also knows the prince's meaning. The Ming Dynasty supports the prince Fenglin as the king. As for the prince... let's stay in Korea.

As for the king, no one cares about him at all.

Of course, the reason why Zhu Guoqiang personally led his troops to North Korea was not to practice selfless dedication to "internationalism". For him who believed in the supremacy of interests, it was absolutely impossible without interests.
