Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Those who disobey orders will be treated as rebels!"

Park Soon-ui ordered his soldiers to ride horses and shout around.

These starving people not only did not leave,

They even reached out to the soldiers to beg for food.

He shouted for a full quarter of an hour.

Park Soon-yi's expression turned ferocious, and she gritted her teeth, saying:

"Do it!"

Soldiers primarily armed with swords, spears, and leather armor.

They charged toward the unarmed, starving people.

At first, it was just beatings and scolding.

The starving people were found to be moving slowly.

Gradually, it turned into armed conflict.

Soon, hundreds of people were injured or killed.

The starving people finally became terrified.

They scattered and fled, crying out.

And soon a stampede occurred.

Many children who had lost their parents cried loudly.

Two days later,

There was a young man named Jin Ding.

He led thousands of starving people in an uprising.

"Cross the river, cross the river, let's go eat at the big clan's restaurant!"

After crossing the Taedong River,

Continue south,

The Guannei Road is just a few dozen miles away.

Gwannei Province was the core area of ​​Goryeo.

This time, it was not looted by the Jin soldiers.

Starving people will naturally rebel in places with abundant food.

More and more starving people responded to the call to "cross the river."

Tens of thousands of people were divided into more than a dozen crossing points.

People, young and old, swept southwards with their families.

Li Jiren stood on the city wall of Pyongyang.

Watching the starving people crossing the river in the distance,

He let out a long sigh and said, "They're finally gone."

Park Soon-eui said worriedly, "So many starving people are crossing the river."

"They might cause trouble within the pass."

Chapter 3107 Dead Without a Tranquil Corpse

Li Jiren reminded him, "I am the Imperial Censor of the Western Circuit."

"You are the Jiedushi of Peixi Circuit."

"We only deal with matters concerning the Pae-seo region."

"Don't worry about the officials in Guannei Circuit."

"The starving people ultimately came from here,"

“If the court investigates, they might blame us,” Park Soon-eui said.

Li Jiren sneered: "If I could conjure up food..."

"Will there still be so many starving people?"

Although Li Jiren also came from a prominent family within the Great Wall...

But his home is not in the capital city of Kaizhou.

And in Guangzhou, south of the Han River.

The nobles of Kaizhou colluded with the enemy and betrayed their country.

They've made such a huge mess.

But it was Li Jiren from Guangzhou who took over the business.

Why?

This was originally a political deal.

It was the nobles of Kaizhou who were trying to win over the nobles of Guangzhou.

Li Jiren was initially very happy.

Until they arrived in Pyongyang,

He was so angry that he jumped up and down, ready to curse.

He not only had no money to gain, but also...

They also have to face countless refugees.

This desolate place has been looted and turned into a wasteland by the Jin soldiers.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of starving people swarmed across the land like locusts.

They carried rudimentary weapons.

They quickly captured three counties in Guannei Road.

The powerful clans within the pass quickly organized local militias.

They retreated into the city to hold out for their lives.

At the same time, they requested the imperial court to send troops to provide assistance.

Until the rebel army captured two states,

The Goryeo troops finally arrived.

Moreover... the government troops were defeated by the rebel army.

The Goryeo court was already short of food.

Civil and military officials were also corrupt and embezzled.

The fact that the officers and soldiers didn't rebel despite being hungry shows their great loyalty.

Are you expecting them to fight a bunch of starving rebels?

If you can't suppress them, then appease them.

The Goryeo court sent officials to offer amnesty.

They offered official positions and made promises to the leaders of the uprising.

At the same time, they forcibly requisitioned grain to provide extra meals for the officers and soldiers.

Using a combination of suppression and appeasement,

There were four rebel leaders.

He accepted the offer of amnesty and became a traitor.

Jin Ding, the leader of the uprising,

He was even lured and killed by his own subordinate.

The young and strong elite of the rebel army

Selected to join the army

They can bring their families to live within the customs area.

The remaining rebels,

They were all driven back north of the Taedong River.

They were left to fend for themselves without food.

When Ming officials and troops arrived in Pyongyang,

The place is littered with the corpses of the starved.

You can see corpses if you walk a short distance outside the city.

Moreover, most of the corpses were incomplete.

They will either be eaten by wild dogs.

They would either be cut up and eaten by their companions.

Even Nampo Port, the most prosperous port in Goryeo,

It was deserted and desolate, like a ghost town.

"What...what's going on?"

Choi Hwan, the Goryeo envoy who was still causing trouble on the ship,

Shortly after disembarking,

He was so frightened that he could barely speak.

Xu Kangzong looked a few steps away,

The bones, still bearing traces of blood, sighed:

"I saw such a terrible scene when I was an envoy to the Jin Dynasty,"

"The counties and prefectures along the way in the north are sparsely populated, and the roads are littered with bones."

Zheng Zhichang seemed to have gone mad.

Running northeast from the dock

As he ran, tears streamed down his face.

This is his hometown.

It is the most prosperous place in all of Goryeo.

He once invited friends to go boating on the Datong River.

He wrote countless popular poems.

No more, all gone.

Even Wanyan Zonggan,

No one could have predicted such an outcome.

He primarily engaged in robbery in Pyongyang.

No large-scale massacre was carried out.

If only the Goryeo court provides some relief...

It wouldn't have come to this.
