Chapter 950 – 946【Datong Secret Work Is Making Trouble】

Chapter 950 946 [Datong secret work is making trouble]

“Hamgyong Dao is not my land at all, and the people who escaped from service in the previous dynasty all belong to their land. In my Sejong Dynasty, six towns were first established, and the wild people would like to rely on them for their lives.”

This sentence was said by the Minister of North Korea, Han Hyungyun, to King Lee Yi of North Korea a hundred years ago.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was chasing death and chasing the north, the Goryeo Dynasty also took the opportunity to expand northward, not only capturing the Yuan Dynasty’s Shuangcheng Governor’s Mansion, but also all the way to the territory of the Liao and Jin dynasties. After the establishment of Lee’s North Korea, they recruited and captured Jurchens across the border and went south to enrich these newly occupied territories (many of the savages Han Hengyun said were Jurchens).

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Keren of the Jurchen tribe said: “Xianzhou (Xianxing) is northward, and it was the land of Liao and Jin in ancient times.” He asked Zhu Di to take it back and give it to the Jurchens to multiply.

Zhu Di did not ask North Korea for territory, but only asked North Korea to return the Jurchens under its jurisdiction to the north. North Korea then sent great Confucianists to Beijing to dig out words with “History of Liao Dynasty” and “History of Jin Dynasty”.

This is nonsense, those place names were taken later, of course they cannot appear in the history books!

The two sides were arguing endlessly, which annoyed Zhu Di so much that they had to let it go in the end.

In another time and space, North Korea took advantage of the Qing Dynasty to evacuate the population in the Northeast, and quietly continued to expand its border to the north. Finally, in the last years of Kangxi, he once again used sophistry and nonsense to fool the ministers of the Manchu and Qing border surveys, and completed the theft of the land south of the Tumen River.

That is to say, even in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, some land south of the Tumen River was not Korean.

Hamkyong Road, the mountainous area outside Huining City.

Han Qiyuan rose up and said to hundreds of Korean and Jurchen farmers: “Do you know what the ‘three-handed rice’ is collected for? It was a miscellaneous tax collected by the Japanese invaders decades ago to train soldiers. Now, the Japanese pirates We have been driven away a long time ago, even the Jianzhou Tartars are dead, but the imperial court is still asking us for ‘three-handed rice’! Let’s comment on whether ‘three-handed rice’ should be levied or not?”

“No, no!” Hundreds of farmers roared.

Han Qiyuan also said: “The imperial court promulgated the Datong Law and paid taxes according to the amount of rice per acre. But corrupt officials colluded with the landlords. We obviously have no land, but the taxes are counted on us. The landlords have land but do not pay the land tax. Everyone come to judge. This land tax should be paid. Shouldn’t we hand it over?”

“No, no!”

Farmers are getting angrier.

Han Qiyuan continued: “The imperial court does not allow us to collect ginseng from the mountains around Huining. We risked our lives to collect ginseng from the mountains of the Celestial Dynasty, but when we came back, we were arrested by the government and confiscated all our wild ginseng. Everyone comes to judge, corrupt officials corrupt officials not bad?”

“Bad, bad, so bad!”

“Last winter was hit by heavy snow, and this summer was drought. The harvest in the fields is not good, and the landlord has to increase the rent, and the peasants died of freezing and starvation. Is there any reason for this?”

“No reason, no reason!”

“I often go to the mountains of the Chinese Dynasty to collect ginseng. There are Han, Jurchen, and Korean people in the north of the river (Tumen River). No matter which ethnicity they live in, life is good. Although there are droughts and snowstorms, the Chinese government has been reducing or exempting taxes. People reclaim wasteland, tax exemption for the first five years, and tax reduction for ten years. We are separated by a river, but our taxes are getting heavier and heavier. Are you willing to rebel against me and be the people of the Celestial Dynasty from now on?”

“Will, will!”

“Shout with me, live as a citizen of the Celestial Dynasty, and die as a ghost of the Celestial Dynasty!”

“Live as a citizen of the Celestial Dynasty, die as a ghost of the Celestial Dynasty!”

“…”

Han Ki-won is not only a farmer in North Korea, but also an off-line of Datong’s secret work.

The rule of the Datong court in the Tumen River is very weak, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, not only are there not many Han people, even the Jurchens are rare.

Therefore, the imperial court only established a small town at the mouth of the Tumen River with 200 immigrants. A branch office of the National Security Institute was also set up, with only a few clerks in total. If this manpower wanted to investigate the news, he had to bribe North Korean people to go offline.

Han Qiyuan went to China to dig ginseng and was arrested. The national security saw that he was smart, so instead of fined him, he was given the money back.

This fellow has been in contact with Datong’s fine work a lot, his ambitions have gradually expanded, and he has begun to conspire to rebel.

The North Korean peasant army in Ping’an Road and Huanghai Road more or less have the shadow of Datong’s meticulous work.

These small works, as well as the off-line of the small work, are just like Chinese envoys, thinking about doing great things all the time!

Han Qiyuan didn’t dare to attack Huining City directly, and only brought hundreds of peasant troops to attack the mountainous villages in the north of the city. They killed the landlords when they saw them, and divided up the land and goods. The team gradually grew to more than 2,000 people. The surrounding landlords were so frightened that they hid in the city and urged the defenders in the city to quell the chaos.

Huining is located on the border between China and North Korea. There are three thousand troops stationed in North Korea, and all of them belong to the “elite”.

The county guard ordered the military officer to send troops, and marched northward in a mighty way. Before these North Korean officers and soldiers crossed the tributaries of the Tumen River, the peasant army in the mountains began to move, fighting all the way along the valley to the east, and the landlords along the way were either killed or fled with their families.

The governor of Jingcheng County learned of a peasant uprising, and began to send troops to suppress it, and Lian quickly contacted the officers and soldiers of Guangxing County.

The officers and soldiers of the three counties jointly encircled and suppressed, constantly reducing the space for the peasant army’s activities.

The peasant army under Han Qiyuan’s command has expanded to more than 5,000 people, including the old, weak, sick and disabled. It is said that it is a peasant army, but it is more like a beggar army. The Korean people here are living a miserable life.

They did not dare to fight with North Korean officers and soldiers, they fled all the way north through the mountains, and killed the landlords when they saw them. Then… across the Tumen River and came to China, Han Qiyuan even sent his confidants to report to the National Security Office.

Well, the officers and soldiers of the three counties of North Korea have nothing to do with looking at the Tumen River. They dare not go to China’s territory to quell the chaos.

Han Qiyuan traveled upstream along the Tumen River, made a large number of rafts, and crossed the river to plunder from time to time. Kill the landlords, coerce the peasants, and send out small groups of troops to investigate. Once they encounter officers and soldiers, they will immediately cross the river and enter China.

The North Korean officers and soldiers were all mad with anger. Every time they chased them desperately, they looked at the river stupidly.

At the same time, an uprising broke out in Gyeongheung County.

Qingxing City is on the south side of the Tumen River Estuary. Farmers here also often come into contact with Han immigrants. In order to quell the chaos, the three counties expropriated a large number of peasants and food, which made the poor farmers even more dissatisfied.

As the officers and soldiers chased to the west, the farmers here also rose up. Led by a self-cultivator named Li Jinlong, they killed the landlords along the way. Taking advantage of the transfer of officers and soldiers from Qingxing City, hundreds of peasant troops entered the city and captured Qingxing County.

Li Jinlong is not an off-line of Datong Secret Works, but this guy is even more ambitious. He claims to be a descendant of King Sejong, and he is clamoring to kill Hanyang and become king. As long as he becomes king, he will be exempted from the national ten-year land tax, and nearby Korean farmers have come to vote.

This person conquered Qingxing City, and even became the king of the establishment, Jianyuan Yuxing, and entrusted him with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Han Qiyuan’s thousands of farmers have been moving repeatedly on the border between China and North Korea. Hey, I’m in North Korea, hey, I’m in China again, the officers and soldiers chased me so hard that I didn’t want to chase them anymore. At this moment, when they heard that Qingxing City had fallen, and there was a guy claiming the title of King Jianzhi, he immediately left Han Qiyuan behind and rushed to attack Qingxing City.

Li Jinlong also wanted to expand his territory, so he took the initiative to attack to the west, but was beaten by North Korean officers and soldiers and fled in embarrassment. He retreated all the way to Qingxing City and was surrounded by groups.

When Han Qiyuan found out that the officers and soldiers had left, he became more courageous and crossed the river to fight towards Huining City.

The officers and soldiers of Huining City are currently besieging Qingxing, and the defenders are all **** troops. Han Qiyuan led the army of beggars and peasants, and unexpectedly defeated in the first battle, and proclaimed himself the magistrate of Ning County of the Datong China Association.

This guy has a serious murderous intent and strict military discipline.

He divided the houses and shops in the city into three classes. The upper-class house owners are not allowed to be killed, and all their property is confiscated; All the vagrants in the city were organized into the army, which quickly corrupted military discipline.

Due to the surge in military robbery incidents, Han Qiyuan was forced to stop expanding, killing hundreds of soldiers in a row, and finally restrained the atmosphere.

He asked his confidantes to lead troops to guard the city, and he led an army of tens of thousands, killing landlords and coercing farmers along the way, heading straight for Jingcheng in the southeast.

The officers and soldiers of the three counties besieged Qingxing for more than 20 days, and finally broke into the city. Li Jinlong and his subordinate soldiers were all killed by the officers and soldiers. These officers and soldiers, especially those from Huining and Jingcheng, disregarded the military orders and began to loot the city, turning Qingxing City into a mess, and the population of the city was almost halved.

At this moment, news came from the south: Jingcheng was breached by the peasant army!

The officers and soldiers of the three counties had to set off again, and forced to recruit more civilians, because this time not only had to transport food, but also the goods they robbed.

The civilian husbands were miserable and fled all the way.

If the number of civilians is not enough, they will be recruited along the way to supplement them. Wherever the officers and soldiers go, they will rush there. The news spread quickly, and the desperate farmers ran away with their families before the officers and soldiers arrived, and some even ran to join Han Qiyuan.

Han Qiyuan received information from the officers and soldiers and ambushed in the mountains by the river in advance.

Hamkyong Road is full of mountains, and only river valleys and coastal areas can pass through. An army of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers (mostly civilians), dragging and killing towards Jingcheng with the looted goods along the way, was ambushed while crossing a river.

Only a few hundred officers and soldiers crossed the river, and the civil and military officials ordered the shipment of goods, and the goods they had looted had to be shipped over first.

“kill!”

In the mountains on both sides of the river, thousands of peasant troops rushed out.

The officers and soldiers who were halfway across were suddenly in a desperate situation, and the North Korean civil and military officials took the lead in fleeing. Some officers, soldiers and civilian husbands also fled. At the same time, many civilian husbands took the opportunity to revolt and chased the rout soldiers all the way to kill them.

Stripping off the armor of the officers and soldiers, Han Qiyuan’s beggar soldiers finally looked like an army.

He sent a partial division to attack Qingxing, and led an army of tens of thousands to attack Mingzhou in the south.

In the south of Mingzhou, there is a city of Jizhou, which houses the Jizhou Protectorate.

However, the governor of Jizhou has already taken time out of the nearby troops, and has been ordered to go to the south to King Qin. In front of Han Qiyuan, all the cities along the way were empty of troops, and there was no decent resistance at all.

Pyongan Road, Hamgyong Road, Hwanghae Road, North Korea is full of beacon smoke.

The Chinese imperial court did not intervene in it, at most it was Datong’s secret work, and their North Korean offline was making trouble. But just a few small operations, and dozens of their off-lines, can turn North Korea upside down, which shows that the local social conflicts have long since reached a critical point.
