The large sand table made by Zhengde in the palace went very smoothly. The topography of each state capital was displayed on the sand table covering an area of ​​100 acres. Zhengde also ordered people to plant sweet potatoes and corn in the locations of some state capitals. These states

The prefecture is the place where the planting of sweet potatoes and corn is promoted this year. Although it seems to only occupy a small part of the Ming Dynasty, the name of sweet potatoes and corn has spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. I believe that by this time next year, he will be able to plant the entire capital.

Corn and sweet potatoes are planted on the sand table.

This big sand table was originally just a temporary game created by Zhengde. No one took it seriously. Even when many ministers saw this sand table when they entered the palace, they discovered that North Korea was also displayed on the sand table. This made many people think it was His Majesty the Emperor.

Favor for North Korea. After all, North Korea has shown great loyalty to the Ming Dynasty in recent years. It is considered a very qualified vassal state. However, it was not until North Korea later submitted a request to include it that the ministers who saw this situation felt that something was wrong, but they still felt that something was wrong.

Can't produce any evidence.

What no one knows is that at the same time that the large sand table in the palace was completed, Zhengde sent a Jin Yiwei to send a secret letter to Zhou Zhong. In this letter, Zhengde scolded North Korea and told Zhou Chong,

We must give some color to the North Koreans and let them know the consequences of deceiving the sovereign country.

Regarding Zhengde's anger, Zhou Zhong smiled calmly after understanding the cause and effect. The cause of this incident was nothing more than a fake map. As a vassal state, North Korea was very submissive on the surface and even had its own country's map

paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but no one expected that North Korea would show such

The courtesy on the surface was all fake, and the tribute map was also fake, and this fake map was paid as tribute during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, so Zhengde felt that North Korea was deceiving his father. This made him hate North Korea.

Incomparably, only then did he want Zhou Zhong to give North Korea some color.

In fact, Zhou Chong felt that North Korea had done nothing wrong. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, maps had always been the most important military secret of a country. For example, in history, Liu Bang captured Xianyang. The first thing he did was to look for maps and documents from all over the country.

Instead of those gold and silver treasures, those maps and documents were also indispensable for Liu Bang's ability to defeat Xiang Yu and achieve great achievements.

It is precisely because the map is so important that North Korea will not hand it over easily. As for giving the national map to the Ming Dynasty when paying tribute, it is just a way to show loyalty, and the Koreans also know very well that this map is given to the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not use it at all, and it will only be left to mold in the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites. Therefore,

They were not worried at all that this fake map would be exposed. In fact, it was indeed the case. The Koreans had given the map to the Ming Dynasty as early as the Xiaozong period, but more than 20 years later, no one had checked the fake map.

From this point of view, the Korean who decided to give the fake map to Ming Dynasty must be a talent.

But what the Korean people never expected was that the Ming Dynasty would have such an unreliable emperor as Zhengde. In order to build a huge sand table in the palace, and also thinking about Zhou Chong's plan for North Korea, he ended up on a whim.

He actually planned to bring North Korea into the country too

Add it in advance to avoid modifying it later. In this way, the map is used. As a result, the fake map was finally discovered, and it also made Zhengde furious. He ordered Zhou Zhong to teach the Koreans a lesson so that they could deceive him.

Father pays the price he deserves.

Although Zhou Chong has always been cheating North Korea, now that Zhengde has asked himself to show some color to the North Koreans in the letter, he cannot refuse whether it is for public or private purposes, so when Li Anliang and others return to North Korea,

After handing over the power in the Ping'an Army to the people sent by Zhou Zhong, the situation in North Korea immediately entered a turbulent situation.

The person who was sent by Zhou Zhong to take over the Ping An Army this time was named Liu Tao, who was the most famous captain in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. He was originally sent by Zhou Zhong to India to pick up European craftsmen like Chilawa.

After Zhou Zhong became the Admiral of the Four Seas, he was extremely short of talents, so he simply transferred a group of people from the Chamber of Commerce and added them to the Admiral's Mansion. Liu Tao was the most outstanding one among them.

Of course, Liu Tao did not go to take over the Ping An Army alone this time. The people who went with him were divided into two groups, civil and military. Needless to say, the civilian officials were responsible for managing the territory established by the Ping An Army. As for the military generals, there were more, including more than 20

People will be sent to the Ping An Army and completely take over the military affairs of the Ping An Army from top to bottom. In addition, this time Zhou

In order to completely control the Ping An Army, and at the same time to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ping An Army, he also specially sent an army of 2,000 people. Among these 2,000 people, there were 1,500 musketeers and 500 musketeers.

Artillery Corps, I believe that with this sharp firearms force, other forces in North Korea will be defeated by them.

Liu Tao used to be the most outstanding captain in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. He could manage a huge fleet in an orderly manner. Now, although the objects he manages have changed, there is actually no essential difference. So after he arrived at the Ping An Army, he quickly

He took care of the top and bottom of the Ping'an Army very clearly, and he was very concerned about the army.

, was firmly in his hands. As for the die-hards who jumped out when he took control of the army, he mercilessly eliminated them. But for Li Anliang's sake, he did not kill anyone, just

Deprive the die-hards of their power, then throw them behind and let them fend for themselves.

After controlling the power of the Ping'an Army, the temperature in North Korea also began to rise. At this time, the food shipped by Zhou Zhong from Nanyang was also delivered to the Ping'an Army. As a result, on a sunny morning, Ping'an had already taken on a new look.

The army finally began to show its fangs and began to write a new chapter in North Korea.

Liu Tao selected the Ping An Army's first target as Li Long, who was huddled in Gyeonggi Province. After all, the opponent was still the nominal king of North Korea, and all the rebels had made it their mission to eliminate Li Long.

, then their Ping An Army will gain momentum.

, then all the people of North Korea will be grateful to the Ping An Army. Later, they will use this reputation to formally issue surrender orders to various rebels in North Korea. If anyone dares to disobey, then they can be justified.

Troops were sent out to attack.

In early March, Liu Tao finally decided to send out the Ping'an Army to actively attack Li Long. This army had three thousand firearms as its core and another 30,000 elite Ping'an troops. On the surface, Li Anliang was the commander, but in fact it was sent by Zhou Chong.

Under the command of the general who left, Li Anliang could only make some suggestions to the army, but it was not certain whether they would be adopted.

The Ping'an Army broke through Li Long's defensive circle on the outside of Gyeonggi Province with extremely rapid movement, attacked the city all the way, and soon reached the northwest of Seoul, which is near Panmunjom in later generations. But at this time, Li Long finally reacted.

Organize an army near Panmunjom

In order to boost the morale of the army, Li Long rarely came to the army to supervise the battle, because he knew that if he failed in this battle, the Li family would also end their war on North Korea.

Hundreds of years of rule.

Regarding the battle between the Ping An Army and Li Long, Qi Yanming and other rebels all chose to wait and see. This is because they all know that Li Long's strength is not something that one of their rebels can defeat alone, so including

Everyone, including Qi Yanming, believed that Li Anliang had lost his mind this time, otherwise he would not have fought alone against Li Long.

But in other words, Qi Yanming and other leaders of the various rebel armies really wanted to see the showdown between the Ping An Army and Li Long. Although they believed that the Ping An Army could not win, they could at least consume Li Long's strength, which was very important to them.

For me, it was definitely a much-coveted good news. Therefore, the rebels not only did not hold back the Ping An Army, but the Gangwon Army, which was relatively close to the Ping An Army, even sent some military rations to show their support for the Ping An Army.

support.

Regarding the performance of other rebels, Li Anliang, Liu Tao and others in the Ping An Army sneered in their hearts. In the previous battles, they had not used the core three thousand firearms troops in order to defeat this army.

It was used in the final decisive battle, so they had absolute confidence in defeating Li Long's Korean King's Army. After clearing Li Long, the biggest obstacle, the next step was to put down the various rebels led by the Zhongqing Army.

At the end of March, the Ping'an Army and Li Long's King's Army fought a decisive battle near Panmunjeom in later generations. However, this decisive battle was doomed to Li Long's tragedy from the beginning. In order to boost the morale of his army, he not only personally supervised the troops in the rear, but also

He also promised all his soldiers that as long as they could defeat the Ping An Army, all the trophies would belong to the soldiers personally. Even if they could capture the Ping An Army's lair in the future, the entire army would be without military discipline for three days.

Although the North Korean officers and soldiers did not have a good impression of King Li Long, their families were all in Gyeonggi Province and they did not dare to rebel. Now they heard that Li Long promised such a generous reward, which finally ignited everyone's animal nature.

, clamoring to kill all the rebels in one fell swoop.

But it is a pity that what Li Long did was all in vain. When all the North Korean officers and soldiers launched an attack on the Ping An Army with high morale, they did not expect that a thunderous roar suddenly sounded from the Ping An Army on the opposite side.

Then hundreds of steel projectiles fell from the sky, and countless officers and soldiers who rushed at the front were smashed into pulp by these projectiles. Hundreds of flesh and blood channels appeared in the entire army of officers and soldiers.

Although North Korea also learned to use firearms from the Central Plains, and its domestic army was also equipped with some very primitive artillery, they never thought that there would be people in this world who would fire hundreds of artillery pieces at the same time, so their formations were also arranged
