29. Soldiers advance into Ji to help press Hanyang
"Aiya, sir, when you come here, the students are disappointed."
Hong Jinglai ran down the steps, walked forward for more than ten steps, and entered the Jinzhou official office holding Min Jingxue's hand. Just after Jinzhou opened the city without blood, and was about to enter the city, he heard his subordinates reporting that Min Jingxu had brought Come with a lot of money and food.
"Wufeng is now the commander-in-chief of the country, so there is no need to be so lavish." Min Jingyou was very happy.
Although he said so, when he saw Hong Jinglai still respecting him so much, Min Jingyue felt as happy as eating iced watermelon in the dog days of summer. He suddenly felt that the most correct thing he had done in his life was to write the exam for Hong Jinglai in Renxu. In addition, there is such a thing as baby cabbage, and the good times of the Lixing Min family may come with the prosperity of Min Jinghye.
"Sir, come to help me. How can students not walk in front of each other to welcome you?" Hong Jinglai welcomed Min Jingyue into the room and took the main seat.
Although Min Jingyue was not as talented as his brother Min Tingyue, his political acumen was not much worse, so he naturally refused to sit down and volunteered to sit a head shorter than Hong Jinglai.
"It's very nice here! Shiya is here too, come on, come on, sit down, sit down." Seeing Zhao Wanyong also there, Min Jingyou greeted.
Zhao Wanyong's examiner was Cao Yunda, but that didn't stop Min Jinghye from being a fellow examiner of the Renxu Department and a half-teacher, so he was obviously qualified to greet Zhao Wanyong.
Everyone sat down, naturally they wanted to talk about something. Min Jingxu came running up now, which shows that a considerable number of the Jinghua nobles have completely figured out which direction the wind is blowing and are starting to turn to Hong Jing. Although there are still quite a few people who are worried about Hong Jing. He didn't dare to come because of the liquidation, but as long as the news of Min Jinghye's arrival spread among the circles of the Jinghua gentry, it would be a reassurance.
It's definitely better to come early than late!
As for the grain, rice, thousands of stones, and money that Min Jinghye brought, it was all a trivial matter. When the father-in-law gave his son-in-law the property, it was just considered as a dowry. Can we do something for the father-in-law and the beauty officer in the future?
Hong Jinglai even thought about it. If he enters Hanyang, he will definitely be the military and household judge, and he will have military and financial power in his hands. As for the official judge, he can reward him for coming early in the morning to follow him. Xiao Zhao raised an army. Five generations of Xiao Zhao's family have been slaughtered, and their disciples and old officials are all over the world, which can help quickly stabilize the situation of the entire country.
But someone has to be the prime minister of the country. Hong Jinglai didn’t want to be a prime minister who couldn’t directly hold power, so our old father-in-law Min Jingxing was extremely suitable. Min Jingxing himself was highly qualified and even served as a Jinshi examiner and a sixth-level examiner. Cao Zhong's courtesy and Cao's evaluation. The focus is on his father-in-law, who belongs to the closest family. Being a leader in political affairs and becoming the head of the country's civil servants is completely enough to repay his kindness in cultivating him.
Both appropriate and appropriate!
Who told us to slander his little cabbage!
Min Jing realized that it was unreliable to rely solely on a marriage that had not yet become a reality, so he immediately suggested that Songdu Kaicheng should be left behind in the same year as his. With just a few words from him, Songdu Kaicheng was saved without blood, and he even led a team for Kaicheng. Hong Jing came to look around.
That's just right!
Originally, Hong Jinglai was waiting for someone to persuade Songdu to surrender, or Songdu would stay behind and come to surrender anyway. Min Jinghye's proposal was just to give pillows to sleepy people. It would be best if someone did this.
Like Pyeongkyung, Songdu was the seat of the royal capital in the Goryeo Dynasty. The city was so high that the Khitan even sent troops to attack it. In addition, Songdu City was also garrisoned by 2,000 soldiers and horses from two Beijing observation envoys. If the city was defended, A considerable price must be paid to capture Songdu. Hong Jinglai did not want to stay in Songdu for too long.
Compared with Pyongan Province and Hwanghae Province, Gyeonggi Province is where the royal capital of Korea is located. King Lee and the Gyeonghwa gentry are quite powerful. Obviously they will not surrender directly without any burden like remote counties and counties. The officials in Gyeonggi Province
, many people are inextricably related to the Andong Kim family and Pan Nanpu family of Hanyang.
Fighting for your own family is not something difficult to understand!
Because of this, Min Jing's sworn pledge to persuade Songdu to surrender was particularly useful. He could rely on his great contribution to persuade Songdu to surrender and gain a foothold within the rebel army, and he also helped his son-in-law Hong Jinglai clear a major obstacle to entering Hanyang.
It really is the best of both worlds.
"Then everything depends on sir!" Hong Jinglai knew that Min Jingyue was definitely not talking big words.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, hahahahahaha..." Min Jingyou stroked his beard, looking like he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand.
Just as Min Jinghuo said, he quickly rode into the city alone. On the one hand, Hong Jinglai's tens of thousands of troops were under the city, with a fierce momentum. On the other hand, Songdu stayed behind. The two capital observers were really the same year as Min Jinghuo. Now there is a white man named Min Jinghuo.
At the foot of the steps, Songdu surrendered to Kaicheng without any surprise.
By the way, two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled troops were also attached, which Hong Jinglai accepted without hesitation. There was always some resistance in the city of Hanyang, and surrender without a fight was unlikely to happen in Hanyang. Cannon fodder was always needed.
The whole army did not enter Kaicheng, so Hong Jing came here and officially issued an announcement in the name of Li Jing, ordering the civil and military officials of Gyeonggi Province and Hanyang to come and surrender. If they did not come to the army within seven days to serve, they would be regarded as resisting the king's army and would be punished for one day.
As soon as the important matter is decided, the execution will be carried out.
On this side, Li Xi, Li Jichu, Han Que and other civil and military officials also landed happily from Bilandu to pay homage to Li Xi and join forces with Hong Jinglai. From Li Xi's place, Hong Jinglai got him again in Jiwu.
Pu seized tens of thousands of shi of grain from Chungcheong Province and ordered Songdu to stay behind. He recruited people and horses at a salary of two liters of grain and rice per person per day, and followed the army to transport the tens of thousands of shi of grain to the capital.
Only with food can the people of Hanyang be stabilized. After entering the city, many things must be prepared!
……………………
The people of Hanyang did not need to be driven away. After hearing that the rebels had arrived in Songdo, they packed up large and small bags and ran south. The whole city had fallen into panic. Pu Zongqing, who was eager to get rid of his burdens, wished that all the people would run away and ordered the south gate of Hanyang.
It is open day and night and cannot be closed.
When the common people ran away, the seven or eight thousand people in the city were naturally not puppets. They also had feelings and were afraid of war, so many people followed them and ran away.
By the time Jin Zuchun found out, thousands of people had already run away with their wives and children. He wanted to stop Pu Zongqing, but they didn't listen at all. He entered the palace again to meet Li Wei, and asked Li Wei to quickly seal the four gates.
Hurry up and prepare for war. The news we received is that Li Wei is ill and is now being taken care of by the king and concubine Hong, so he cannot summon the ministers for the time being.
"Can you live like this?" Li Wei asked somewhat unconfidently.
Chapter completed!
