Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king
Chapter 287 The North Korean version of the coup, dedicated to His Majesty the North!
Chapter 287 The North Korean version of the coup, dedicated to His Majesty the North!
Li Manzhu has been walking on the edge of the sword all year round and has already predicted the danger.
Moreover, he has always been on guard against North Korea's monarchs and ministers.
From the fact that the North Korean officials were unwilling to shave their hair and change their clothes, Li Manzhu knew that these North Koreans were arrogant at heart and would not serve a barbarian like him.
Therefore, he lived in the inner city, which was guarded by Jurchen soldiers. No one from the North was allowed to enter, and there was no access to the inside or outside.
At the same time, he sent troops to guard the East City Gate. If anything went wrong, he would immediately escape from Pyongyang through the moving gate and flee to the east of Pyongyang.
He had eight sons. Northern Korea was barren, and he divided it among his son-in-law Fancha, Fancha's nephew Dongshan and other foreign generals.
And gave the prosperous place to his son to guard.
His eldest son Gunahar was attacking Seoul.
The Jurchens, like Mongolia, have the tradition that the younger son inherits the family business, and the eldest son has to develop on his own.
The waist of the Korean Peninsula is entirely in the hands of the Jurchens, so the Ming army's attack on Pyongyang will not panic Li Manzhu.
He is living in the palace, and serving him is the concubine left by the king of Korea.
"Dad, Pyongyang can't hold it any longer. The gold and silver treasures should have been transported away long ago."
It is his younger son Yi Chengju who guards Pyongyang with Li Manzhu.
Yi Chengju is Li Manzhu's favorite son. Although he is stupid, on the battlefield, Yi Chengju is an excellent warrior and has great military morale.
"You know nothing, this is North Korea, not Ming Dynasty!"
Li Manzhu glared at him: "The Ming army wants us to merge with the North Koreans, and they will benefit from it. Do you think the Ming Dynasty will be kind and kind to rescue North Korea?"
He spoke Mongolian.
The Jurchens also have their own language, but the Tatars are too powerful and rule the northern and northeastern regions of the Eastern Desert. In order to better kneel down and lick the Tatars, the Jurchens gave up the Jurchen language and all spoke Mongolian.
Yi Chengju scratched his hair and didn't understand.
"idiot."
"The Ming army will let us leave."
"Don't worry, just put the property in the middle and surround it with soldiers."
"Throw away all the people in the court, and we will retreat after dawn!"
Li Manzhu saw clearly.
Ming Dynasty wanted a broken Korea, so he would definitely let Li Man live.
After his death, Li Manzhu would leave the Jurchens in disarray. The Jurchens in a state of disunity would only flee back to Jianzhou Sanwei and would no longer be used as swordsmen for the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Yue is understanding him, and he is also understanding Wang Yue.
If people in the world still think that Emperor Jingtai is a foolish king, he is definitely the biggest fool in the world.
Emperor Jingtai was very good at using people, and Wang Yue was an outstanding person that Emperor Jingtai used very highly.
It just shows that Wang Yue is extremely talented.
This person is not well-known, but if you look at what he has been doing recently, you will know how powerful he is.
Wang Yue was stationed in Yizhou, training troops, Chineseizing and immigrating.
Regarding these three things, others may not do them well if they do them one by one. Wang Yue does all three at the same time, in an orderly manner and excels in them all.
He, Li Manzhu, has been dealing with the Tatars for half his life. He knows how rebellious the Tatar soldiers are and they only obey the strong.
And Wang Yue was a lame man, a lame man who would only be laughed at by the Tatar soldiers.
But this lame man commanded [-] Tatar soldiers!
The Tatar soldiers did not mutiny and were trained by him patiently.
This shows Wang Yue's ability to command troops.
What makes him even smarter is that he sees the overall situation in North Korea and is good at seizing opportunities.
The Jurchens have been stationed in North Korea for several months, and they have long lost the ambitions they had when they first arrived, and all their energy is wasted on Korean women.
If you have too much money, your legs will be weak, and you will be corrupted, you will no longer be a strong soldier.
The Jurchen soldiers at this time are at their weakest.
Looking at the Tatar soldiers, Wang Yue used the method of boiling eagles to boil the Tatar soldiers, and then suddenly released them. The Tatar soldiers were like tigers coming out of their boxes.
One is strong and the other is weak, and the judgment is made.
At the same time, he has the best chance of choosing.
The outer city of Seoul had been captured and the inner city was crumbling. Wang Yue suddenly took action and seized the opportunity to rescue North Korea.
Therefore, Li Manzhu understood that Wang Yue was not only fighting, but also coordinating North Korean politics.
Such Wang Yue will definitely let Li Manzhu leave Pyongyang and bring chaos to the entire North Korea.
At the same time, he also saw through the Ming Emperor's thoughts.
The Ming Emperor is going to take over Korea!
He doesn't need a submissive younger brother, but wants to turn his younger brother into a mainland.
Therefore, if the Koreans hiding in the ravines are moved to Liaohe Tao with great efforts, and then the Han people are moved in, northern Korea can be held in hand.
As for North Korea, the terrain in the north is steep and the south is a flat plain. As long as Pyongyang is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the south will be smooth and smooth, and it can be leveled overnight.
The Koreans in the south had no chance to resist.
This is the chess game of the Ming Emperor.
If the Han people live in steep terrain and the Chao people live in a place where there is no danger to defend, the Chao people will only be forced to assimilate into the Han people and will not be allowed to resist.
Li Manzhu was not a mediocre person. He seized this opportunity to strengthen the Jurchens.
He was driven by the Ming Emperor to cause trouble in North Korea, so he could turn the North Koreans into Jurchens, then use North Korea's wealth to raise Jurchen soldiers, and use the Ming army to hone the Jurchens' combat effectiveness.
By the time the Jurchens returned to their old nest, their power had grown several times.
Your Majesty the Emperor, if you want North Korea, the vast and cold Northeast, please give it to me, the Jurchens!
really.
Li Manzhu slowly withdrew from Pyongyang, and Zheng Guta also slowly occupied Pyongyang, trying to avoid street fighting with the Jurchens.
The Tatar soldiers are cavalry, and cavalry cannot fight in street battles.
The Jurchen soldiers are infantry and cavalry, so they have an advantage in street fighting.
Therefore, North Korean officials kept urging Zheng Guta to pursue Li Manju, kill Li Manju, and avenge the King of Joseon!
At this moment, more than a dozen high-ranking North Korean officials gathered around Zheng Guta, chattering endlessly.
Zheng Guta got bored and stared: "Why don't you go and kill me?"
"Your Majesty ordered you to rescue North Korea, but you let Li Manzhu leave. I will file a complaint against you!" North Korean officials were furious.
Many officials in red official robes pointed at Zheng Guta and said, "Li Manzhu committed atrocious crimes, but you were so cowardly that you allowed the leader of the thieves to leave. Where did you put the face of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty? You Zheng Guta Is there any collusion with Li Manzhu?"
Seeing them moving Emperor Jingtai out, Zheng Guta felt guilty: "My soldiers are all cavalry and are not good at street fighting. How can I attack and kill him?"
"Isn't it okay to go out of the city to pursue it?"
"It's getting late, and I'm not familiar with the terrain of North Korea..."
Before Zheng Guta finished speaking, he was stopped by the official in red robes: "I am willing to go with you to kill the enemy. Why are you not familiar with the terrain? If you are afraid of fighting, you can lend your soldiers to me, and I will definitely Cut off Li Manzhu’s dog’s head!”
Zheng Guta was forced into a corner and muttered: "You are so powerful, why don't you fight Li Manzhu yourself? Why are you borrowing my soldiers?"
"You! What do you know, you barbarian!" the North Korean official scolded.
Zheng Guta is a Tatar and naturalized in the Ming Dynasty.
Whatever he lacks, he makes up for it. What he hates most is that others look down on his background.
"This general is Le Anbo, whom His Majesty has ennobled! He is not your lackey from North Korea!"
Zheng Guta shouted fiercely: "Your Majesty issued an imperial edict stating that the Tatars also belong to the ethnic minority of China, and are Chinese like the Han people!"
"Your Majesty has established an imperial temple, and one of the temples is full of Mongolians, which shows that Mongolians and Han people are one family!"
"You, a North Korean official, are so contemptuous of me!"
"As everyone knows, without me, you are still working as dogs for Li Manzhu!"
"Why didn't you serve your king when I didn't come?"
"Why do you talk so much about loyalty when I come? And avenge you, the King of Korea? What were you thinking about before?"
"I would like to ask you, why do you want to be Li Manzhu's dog?"
Zheng Guta was so angry that he said fiercely: "Okay!"
"Uncle, I'm stupid and can't argue with you!"
"Send the order, close the city gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
Zheng Guta quietly put his hand on the handle of the knife.
Don't forget, Wang Yue also gave him another task!
"Why did you close the city gate?"
The North Korean official pointed at Zheng Guta: "Are you, Zheng Guta, going to betray His Majesty and establish yourself as king?"
"Zili, your sister!"
Reed!
Zheng Guta suddenly drew his knife and struck him on the chest: "You are the only one who talks too much!"
"what?"
When they saw that Zheng Guta had killed someone, other officials screamed in fear, some ran for their lives, and some kowtowed in the direction of Beijing: "Your Majesty, why do you reuse the Tatars! They are going to betray you! Occupy North Korea and make yourself king!" "
"Kill them all!"
Zheng Guta was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly ordered the killing.
The North Korean dignitaries in Pyongyang were doing well after Li Manzhu captured North Korea. Many civil servants were even recruited by Li Manzhu and became officials under him.
When the Ming army came, they were a little disappointed. The Ming general didn't use them at all.
The greater disappointment lies behind.
Li Man lived without slaughtering the city.
Instead, the Ming army began to massacre the city!
After Zheng Guta closed the city gate, he issued an order to allow the Tatar soldiers to enter the Gaomen Courtyard to plunder and massacre the city!
The city of Pyongyang is of great political significance to North Korea.
Without massacre, it would be difficult to control.
Moreover, this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is built on a dangerous terrain. The Ming army has very few troops, only 2 people. It is simply unrealistic to completely control the north of Pyongyang.
Therefore, Wang Yue gave Zheng Guta the last order.
After taking control of Pyongyang, he allowed his soldiers to loot and massacre the city appropriately!
Zheng Guta didn't know what was appropriate.
Just start slaughtering.
Anyway, the job of massacring a city is a traditional skill of the Tatar people. They are born with it and are very good at it.
The whole of Pyongyang was plunged into extreme fear.
The noble houses were destroyed, and the fierce Tatar soldiers went in, burned, killed, and looted, committing all kinds of evil.
But what really caused trouble in Pyongyang was the North Korean people. Seeing this as an opportunity to make a fortune, they all came out to follow the Tatar soldiers to rob and kill each other.
The whole of Pyongyang was in complete chaos.
Zheng Guta sat on the corpse of the North Korean official: "I am ordering all the troops not to light fires or burn the city! All the proceeds of looting belong to the individual!"
He knew very well that this was Wang Yue's plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Massacre the city of Pyongyang and consume the Tatar soldiers.
He is the Count of the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the Tatar soldiers.
Anyway, I will add more after death, so what are you worried about?
For the great achievement of breaking Pyongyang, he will definitely be given a world certificate, and his son will be found.
The city of Pyongyang cannot be burned down. Once it is burned down, they will have to live in the wilderness. If the Jurchen soldiers come back, they will be dumbfounded.
Kill all the people and leave the city behind.
At this time, one of his subordinates presented some beauties, all of them from high-ranking families, and Zheng Guta enjoyed them happily.
News of Pyongyang's capture reached Wang Yue.
Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Anzhou.
"Send the order to attack the four cities of Anzhou, Sunchuan, Pingcheng and Shun'an!"
These are the four cities heading towards Pyongyang, opening up the road to Pyongyang.
At the same time, he wrote to Li Xian, requesting Li Xian to increase his troops by [-] and [-] Han troops, all of which were infantry, to defend the city, and to transfer the equipment and food for the city defense.
The news reached Shenyang.
Li Xian did not dare to delay, so he immediately counted [-] soldiers and marched to North Korea to defend the city.
At the same time, the news of Wang Yue's occupation of Pyongyang was passed to the center.
Seoul.
Cheng Xin and Luo Qi have already instigated Quan Bo's rebellion.
Quan was greedy like a sheep, a wolf, and a locust. He was greedy to the extreme. His only son Quan Jian was arrested. He even bargained with Cheng Xin and negotiated a very high bargaining chip.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to grant him the Andong Mansion and break the soil to make him a marquis.
He believed that although the Ming Dynasty coveted the land of Korea, the place he wanted was relatively barren land on the eastern edge of the peninsula, across the sea from Tsushima Island.
Moreover, he also wanted to be Li Hongwei's father-in-law and let Li Hongwei entrust the state affairs into his hands.
Cheng Xin wanted to vote at that time.
"It is true that power is like a hungry tiger devouring a sheep. It must be fought quickly and quickly. If it is slow, it will change."
Luo Qi remained cautious, worried that Quan Zhen would use the bargaining chip here to talk to Li Yao.
Cheng Xin also felt that Quan Bo was unreliable.
Start now.
Cheng Xin contacted Quan Zhu again, and it was scheduled for August 24, the day after tomorrow. Quan Zhu first carried Li Hongwei out, and then Quan Zhu and Han Que took over the servants, plus a hundred Ming troops, to attack Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Gyeongbokgung Palace is the first of the five palaces in North Korea. The palace is named after the word "Gyeongbok" in "The Gentleman for Ten Thousand Years" in the Book of Songs.
The regulations were regulated by the royal palace. After it was completed, Ming Dynasty sent people to inspect it to see if there were any violations.
Quan Zhen hesitated: "How can we accomplish something with just 200 people?"
"Taizong of the Tang Dynasty succeeded with less than a hundred people, so he could rule Zhenguan!"
Cheng Xin said sternly: "Tang Minghuang launched the Tang Long coup with hundreds of people to create the Kaiyuan era!"
"We have 200 people in our hands, most of them are loyal troops, why can't we accomplish this?"
"Quan Zhu, if you hesitate any longer, the King of Korea will find out that we are the Great Tomorrow Officials, and the King of Korea will not dare to deal with you at will!"
"But your glory and wealth are gone!"
Quan Zhen was also familiar with history books and knew that Emperor Taizong and Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty were both emperors who started their careers in rebellion.
The problem is that he is not the emperor!
We also need to support Li Hongwei, so he can become a powerful minister!
It’s better to be Sima Yi.
As for the Seizing of the Gate incident, it did not end well in this time and space. In the Ming Dynasty's Seizing of the Gate, the Supreme Emperor became the king of Japan. In Annan's Seizing of the Gate, Li Yimin was killed in just a few months.
He really regretted why he listened to the instigation of the messenger.
If his son dies, then he dies, he still has a grandson!
"Lord Quan, do you still want to split the earth and become king?"
Cheng Xin smiled and said, "As long as you open the palace door, everything will be left to me."
Quan Zhu was still hesitating.
Cheng Xin lowered his voice and said: "I have another piece of news for you. Our soldiers have moved south. They have reached Anzhou at this time and can enter Pyongyang at any time."
Suddenly, Quan Zhen's face was full of fear.
Once he falls out with Cheng Xin, when the soldiers from tomorrow come, they will definitely kill him, Quan Zhu!
But he didn't dare to kill Cheng Xin.
If you kill Cheng Xin, you can't explain it to Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, Emperor Ming Dynasty will be angry and killing him will be considered a minor matter.
Quan Zhu knew he had no choice, so he said with a sad face: "Isn't it okay to just listen to you?"
The day is set for tomorrow.
August 24.
Li Yao had no intention of dealing with the memorial. The outer city of Seoul had been breached. Li Manzhu's eldest son Gunaha was very brave. He led his troops to attack Seoul for only 47 days and captured two urns and the outer city.
In the evening, Li Yao had a headache.
It was announced that the imperial doctor would come to the palace for diagnosis and treatment. During the treatment, a eunuch suddenly came in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the Jianchun Gate has been opened!"
"Open it if you open it, close it if it's closed, as long as the Jurchens don't come in."
After Li Yao finished speaking, she was stunned: "What did you say? Who opened the Jianchun Gate?"
"Your Majesty, they might be bandits!" The eunuch didn't know.
Geonchunmun is the east gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Gyeongbokgung Palace has four gates, Gwanghwamun is the main entrance.
Because the outer city was captured, Li Yao sent the imperial guards out to guard the inner city, leaving the palace slightly empty.
Suddenly, Li Yao stood up: "Where is the Supreme Emperor?"
Li Hongwei has already restored it once!
Could it be him again this time?
The eunuch didn't know either.
"Immediately pass the order and order the imperial guards to return to the palace to guard the palace!"
Li Yao couldn't care less about her headache and asked the eunuch to help her get dressed and hide herself first.
Fortunately, when Seoul was besieged, he had made preparations in advance and dug a tunnel in the palace so that he could hide underground and wait for the storm to pass.
Luo Qi and Cheng Xin led the Ming army and entered the palace from Jianchun Gate.
Didn't encounter much resistance.
After rushing into Kangning Hall, Li Yao was not found, and even the queen in Jiaotai Hall disappeared.
Luo Qi grabbed several young eunuchs and asked them. After questioning, she learned that the emperor had already taken his concubines and princes into the tunnel.
The tunnels leading to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, and Gyeonghuigung Palace are full of side roads, like a maze, and you can't get out without a map.
No one knew where the emperor had gone.
Luo Qi and Cheng Xin looked at each other and felt bad.
Li Yao secretly dug a tunnel, which the Ming envoys didn't know about, and Quan Bo didn't tell them either.
Quan Zhuo, this idiot, didn't disclose such important information.
"First declare to the outside world that the King of Joseon has died, and let the palace become chaotic first." Cheng Xin made a prompt decision.
We’ve already made it this far, so we can’t withdraw, right?
At this time, Quan Zhen, carrying Li Hongwei on his back, also entered the Qinzheng Hall and invited Li Hongwei to ascend the throne.
Li Hongwei was the former nephew of the emperor.
The throne was snatched away by his uncle!
At this moment, when I saw the throne on the Qinzheng Hall, my eyes shed tears. I slowly walked up to Danqi, one step at a time, walking firmly, and slowly sat on the throne.
But as soon as he sat down, Quan Zhu received the news that Li Yao ran away.
"You, you, come down!" Quan Zhen pointed at Li Hongwei and said a very funny sentence.
Li Hongwei was also confused. Want me to come down?
I am the king of Korea now, you want me to come down?
"Father!"
Li Hongwei lowered his voice and shouted coldly: "This seat belongs to me, but it has been stolen by Li Yao for six years! I am ruling the world again, what's wrong with it?"
Quan is so confused, what can I tell you?Did I tell you that Li Yao ran away?
"You, come down!" Quan Zhen felt infinite regret, why did he listen to the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to fool him? Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero of the Jingnan War?
"My father-in-law, please don't be presumptuous. I am the emperor of North Korea, so there is nothing wrong with me!" Li Hongwei lowered his voice and shouted coldly.
He had had enough of being cooped up.
When he rules the world again, he will do something big, use his fists and kicks to make up for all the things that have been owed to him over the years, and start with a few beauties!
Take his uncle’s concubines!
"You, you come down first!"
Quan Zhuo can't go up either. This is Danqi. If he goes up, he will be rebelling!
If you could, you would definitely pinch Li Hongwei's neck and throw him down hard. You loser, did you hurt me so badly?
Han Que shouted coldly: "Quan Zhen, don't be rude to His Majesty!"
He was supposed to be on a mission to the Ming Dynasty, but the outer city was broken. He was trapped in Seoul and could not get out.
Cheng Xin found him and naturally hit it off.
"Your Majesty ran away." Quan Zhen said in a low voice.
"what?"
Han Que jumped up in fright and said in horror: "Why, why did you run away? What do Cheng Xin and Luo Qi do to eat?"
"How would I know?"
Quan Zhu was sweating: "It's over now!"
"Don't worry, there's still help!"
Han Que looked at Li Hongwei, who was sitting on the throne with high spirits, and lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, please come down first."
"Han Qing, why don't you tell the world?" Li Hongwei thought Li Yao was dead.
He is still waiting to receive Li Yao's head.
He wants to tell his uncle personally that I am the emperor again, and I will also bring all your concubines into the harem for you to watch!
"You come down first." Han Que negotiated.
"Quickly tell the world, please invite the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to enter the palace." Li Hongwei refused to listen.
Han Que said nervously: "Your Majesty ran away."
Pfft!
Li Hongwei fell down from the throne as if struck by lightning. His whole body was limp, and he rolled down the Danqi for some unknown reason.
He rolled to Han Que's feet and asked in horror, regardless of the pain: "W-what did you say?"
"Your Majesty ran away."
"Quickly, send me back to the palace!" Li Hongwei was so frightened that his two bodies trembled, and a stream of clear water flowed out.
Everyone in the entire Qinzheng Hall was stunned.
They were all ready to ascend the throne, but Li Yao ran away. Isn't this a joke with his life?Could it be any more funny?
"Hurry up, just tell me... I have never been here, I have never been here!" Li Hongwei jumped up in a hurry and ran out of the palace.
But Quan Zhuo pulled Han Que: "You said there is a way, what is it?"
Han Que just looked at Li Hongwei's back with cold eyes.
"You, you mean?" Quan Zhen was shocked.
This is regicide!
Even if there is a glimmer of hope now, sooner or later the family will be destroyed.
"This is our only way to survive!"
Kill Li Hongwei.
Make up a story for Li Yao and let Li Yao let them go for the time being.
Then, they took their families and fled to Ming Dynasty to seek asylum from His Majesty the Emperor.
"This this……"
"This, this, this! Do it or not!"
Han Que's eyes were sharp: "If you don't do it, you will die!" Quan Bo burst into tears: "Do it!"
He took the knife from the attendant and walked towards Li Hongwei.
One left and one right with Han Que.
Li Hongwei ran very fast. He ran outside the palace and towards his bedroom. He must not let Li Yao know that they were coming to restore power again.
Last time it was a joke, this time it's a joke within a joke.
puff!
Suddenly, there was a knife on the left and right.
Li Hongwei was hit by a knife, turned around in horror, and looked at Han Que and Quan Zhu incomprehensibly, why do you want to kill me?
"Your Majesty, unless you die, we will all die!"
Han Que slapped him hard.
Quan Zhu is also working hard.
Two people must kill each other at the same time to bind each other.
"Treacherous minister!" Li Hongwei could not imagine that he believed in Han Que so much that he actually died in Han Que's hands.
It turned out to be a happy coup, killing Li Yao and welcoming Li Hongwei to the throne.
As a result, Li Yao ran away.
Han Que and Quan Zhu were forced to kill Li Hongwei to express their loyalty to Li Yao.
"All of you, chop him!" Han Que forced everyone to stand on their side.
"Hurry up, let your family pack their bags, let's take a boat to Daming!" Han Que said to Quan Bo again.
Don't even think about continuing to serve as an official in North Korea.
I can only go to Ming Dynasty to be a bereaved dog.
"Woooooo!" Quan Zhen cried bitterly.
At this moment, Kangnyeong Palace suddenly burst into flames, and at the same time, the entire Gyeongbokgung Palace burned down.
"What does Mingshi want to do?"
Han Que stared at the fire blankly, not caring about escaping, and murmured: "Are you going to destroy North Korea?"
Quan Zhen stopped crying: "Why did Cheng Xin burn down Gyeongbokgung Palace?"
"Don't you know that when Gyeongbokgung Palace was burned, all the officers guarding the city would see it? They thought that if there was a coup in the palace, the entire military camp would be in chaos!"
"And the Jurchens will take the opportunity to attack the city..."
"What are they going to do? What are they doing?"
Quan Bo was horrified: "Your Majesty is dead, what good will it do to them?"
"Yes, North Korea is in chaos, and the Ming Dynasty can annex North Korea!" Han Que said blankly.
He always thought that Ming Dynasty had no ambitions towards North Korea.
But he was wrong.
Emperor Jingtai is a lunatic with unimaginable greed for land. What he wants to do is not Emperor Taizong, but Kublai Khan!
"Quan Zhen, maybe there is a chance for us to get back together!" Han Que said suddenly.
Quan Bo was stunned: "We killed the Supreme Emperor, can His Majesty still reuse us?"
"No, Ming Dynasty can reuse us."
Han Que had deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty. He regarded himself as a Ming Dynasty. There were many courtiers in North Korea who regarded themselves as a Ming Dynasty.
However, although he has feelings, he is a political figure and a power animal, and he thinks more about political issues.
The Yuan Dynasty ruled Korea by using Korean people.
The great ancestor of the Joseon Dynasty, Li Chenggui, was born in the family of the chief steward of the Dayuan Dynasty. He was a hereditary Daru Huachi (governor and seal holder).
When the Ming Dynasty ruled North Korea, it would be like the Yuan Dynasty. It would not send Han people to rule. Instead, it would divide Wanhufu and rule North Korea according to the Yuan system. He Han was indeed a hero, so he would naturally be appointed as a high official.
His descendants have transformed from civil servants to hereditary families.
When the Ming Dynasty declines, his descendants can take advantage of the situation and rebuild North Korea. By then, his family will be a royal family!
Han Que saw great hope!An opportunity to imitate Li Chenggui!
make a prompt decision.
"Let's go and light all five palaces on fire!"
Han Que wanted to win the trust of the Ming Emperor. Only by being loyal to the Ming Emperor and the kind-hearted Emperor Jingtai could he give him what he wanted.
After all, in his eyes, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong he had met were all very kind.
Quan Zhen is also a power animal and immediately understood what Han Que meant.
Being a Daruhuachi of the Ming Dynasty is much better than being a civil servant.
"How can we let the envoys know about our merits?" Quan Bo asked.
"Send someone to contact Cheng Xin and Luo Qi and tell them that we are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and go through fire and water for His Majesty the Ming Dynasty!" Han Que said.
Quan Zhen said: "This is not enough. I will go there myself and bargain with them."
"Please do not!"
Han Que shouted: "We are willing to let His Majesty Ming conquer North Korea from the bottom of our hearts and willingly, rather than premeditated and calculated. You must understand."
Quan Zhen suddenly realized that he could not bargain with the Ming Emperor.
At that time, Li Chenggui's ancestors did not dare to bargain with Kublai Khan, so they had eternal prosperity for generations.
No one thought that the Ming Dynasty would become North Korea, because the failure of Annan, a county in the Ming Dynasty, made North Korea naively believe that there would be no more counties in the Ming Dynasty.
"Quan Zhu, can you convince Han Minghui to use him for our benefit?"
Quan Zhen and Han Minghui are best friends.
"Yes!" Quan Zhen also needs Han Minghui. His IQ cannot keep up with Cheng Xin. Cheng Xin's skills are too high. Only Han Minghui can compete with Cheng Xin.
"You immediately send someone to invite Han Minghui into the palace and let Han Minghui plan for us!"
Han Que didn't want to be the first person.
He hoped that his son would become his ancestor.
Those who bargain with the Ming Emperor will definitely not end well, let Han Minghui do it.
And Gyeongbokgung Palace was already on fire.
Cheng Xin and Luo Qi also planned to burn the Fifth Palace of Korea.
Use the fire of the Fifth Palace to shake the morale of Seoul's troops. As long as the Jurchens break into Seoul, Li Yao will be seriously injured even if he is alive.
Cheng Xin was quite lonely and failed to succeed.
This change of seizing the door seems simple, but why is it frustrated at every turn?
Ming Dynasty's move to seize the door was awkward.
Annan's move to seize the door gave Li Sicheng an advantage.
North Korea's coup led to the rightful owner running away.
The history of the Ming Dynasty is reflected in North Korea and Annan, just like a mirror. Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty died mysteriously, and Ruizong of North Korea also died mysteriously.
It was difficult for the Ming emperor to have a son, and it was also difficult for the Joseon emperor to have a son, and the mortality rate was extremely high.
Moreover, the Ming emperors tended to die young, and the Joseon emperors also often died young.
Really interesting.
"Burn the other four palaces and send people to declare that Li Yao burned himself to death!" Luo Qi used Jianwen's old story.
When Emperor Taizong invaded the capital (Nanjing), Emperor Jianwen set fire to the palace and burned it down. Whether he was alive or dead became a mystery.
And the person who knows the answer to this mystery is Hu Hui.
"it is good!"
Cheng Xin immediately asked people to spread rumors that Li Yao had set himself on fire.
"If you continue to falsely pass on the imperial edict, summon North Korean officials together and catch them all!" Luo Qi said fiercely. Zheng Linzhi, Han Minghui and others will die.
And the Gyeongbokgung Palace fire.
Jin Xiaocheng, who was stationed in the inner city, saw the fire and his military morale was turbulent. There was also movement in the Jurchen camp outside the city, as if they were planning to attack the city.
"Everyone stays at their posts, no one is allowed to move!" Jin Xiaocheng is a general.
He rectified the morale of the army and allowed the soldiers to defend the city safely.
but.
Li Yao was an outstanding and promising monarch. He was worried about leaving the military power to Jin Xiaocheng alone. He dispersed the military power, such as Pu Zhongsun and Cui Heng, who were all in charge of the army.
These people are all first-class contributors to Jingnan.
There is no level of status.
But politically it was all discord.
There was a struggle for power between them. Kim Hyo-sung went east, Park Joong-sun absolutely went west, and Cui Heng definitely went north.
When there is no war, Li Yao can rely on the forces of all parties to compete with each other and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. But when war comes, this is a taboo for military strategists.
Sure enough, Jin Xiaocheng defended the city.
Pu Zhongsun was about to rescue the palace, but Cui Heng actually wanted to go out of the city to fight in the field, and they quarreled endlessly.
In the end, Pu Zhongsun took his soldiers away and galloped freely in the inner city to help the palace.
outside the city walls.
Gunaha is watching the city. Although he is a reckless man, he is still a warrior. After all, he has been trained by his father Li Manzhu since he was a child, so he still has a lot of experience in fighting.
He first gathered his soldiers and pretended to attack a city wall.
It was met with extremely fierce counterattack.
"Something happened in the city!"
Gunaha immediately judged: "Something must have happened to the King of Korea, leaving the city's defenders empty."
"That fire was lit by the North Korean palace, and the order was sent to attack the city!"
Only when you feel guilty will you react violently.
Gunahar stepped up his attack on the city.
When the Jurchens attacked the city, just like the Mongols, they first looted the surrounding areas, drove out the nearby residents, and filled in the moat.
The Jurchens are different from the Han people. The Han soldiers do not fight like fighting, but like playing house. They dare not fight in the field, defend the city for fear of death, and cannot see clearly in night battles. Anyway, they have various reasons to avoid fighting.
The Jurchen soldiers were called up in the middle of the night, and the commander gave the order to attack the city without any nonsense. These Jurchen soldiers climbed up the city wall like wolves and tigers, and attacked desperately without a word of complaint.
Only if you are not afraid of hardship and death can you fight well, win battles, and overcome headwinds.
However, it is not easy to control the Jurchen soldiers after they win the battle. After the Han soldiers win the battle, the general can still restrain them, but after the Jurchen soldiers win a great battle, even the King of Heaven and I cannot restrain them.
Not only Jurchen soldiers, but also Tatar soldiers.
Each has its own advantages. Han soldiers are obedient and easy to manage, but have weak combat effectiveness. Jurchen soldiers and Tatar soldiers have strong combat effectiveness, but are prone to eating their masters.
The attack outside the city became more and more fierce.
The inner city walls are far less solid than the outer walls.
But now, only Jin Xiaocheng is guarding the city. The other generals have rushed to the palace to help. After all, the contribution of rescuing the driver is much greater than the contribution of defending the city.
Because, the five palaces and cities were all burned.
Any fool knows that something happened in the palace.
Only Jin Xiaocheng insisted on defending the city.
"Don't you think about it, what's the use of losing the inner city after saving His Majesty?" Jin Xiaocheng was full of helplessness.
The Jurchen soldiers were very good at seizing opportunities, and the inner city walls were crumbling.
And outside Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Cheng Xin was bargaining with Han Minghui.
Han Minghui faced Cheng Xin and never fell into a disadvantage.
"Master Cheng, you can't be the master of such a big thing, right?"
Han Minghui was very cunning and kept testing Cheng Xin.
"Why can't you be the master? Your Majesty has written the imperial edict himself, and it is at the place where I am staying. I will tell you if Mr. Han is willing to go with me to pick it up." Cheng Xin did not show any timidity.
Han Minghui's eyes narrowed slightly.
When the Emperor of Ming Dynasty sent Cheng Xin here, did he have the intention to annex North Korea?
Why?
North Korea is very submissive. Emperors of the Ming Dynasty all liked the King of North Korea. Even Emperor Jingtai was good to the King of North Korea. Why did he want to annex North Korea?
The Ming Dynasty has such a vast territory, what is there in Korea that is worthy of the Ming Dynasty’s plans?
Han Minghui couldn't figure it out.
"My lords, who have made great contributions to the country, will naturally receive a reward that satisfies you. Your Majesty's generosity is beyond your imagination."
Yes, Your Majesty is generous enough to give you a ticket to the Huangquan Road.
Cheng Xin talked freely, and there was no falsehood in his heart. It was all bullshit anyway, and he would definitely not admit it when he returned to China.
Han Minghui said, "North Korea is willing to merge with China. Can you please Mr. Wang Yue to go south quickly and recover the capital?"
What Your Majesty wants is a broken Korea.
Rather than the complete North Korea.
"To be honest with Mr. Han, Wang Yue has gone south and is now in Anzhou. He can break through Pyongyang in the blink of an eye and reach Seoul in fifteen days at the latest."
Han Minghui exclaimed slightly, Master Ming Dynasty is so strong?
Think about it, the Ming Dynasty surrendered a large number of Tatar soldiers. These Tatar soldiers were stronger than the Jurchen soldiers. The Korean soldiers were really despised by the ladies of the country.
Han Minghui smiled helplessly.
"Our great soldiers are all elite cavalry, and Wang Yue is even more talented as a famous commander. He compares himself to Prime Minister Zhuge, and has talents in the world."
Cheng Xin smiled and said: "I calculated it based on the military rations. It should be closer than fifteen days."
"It doesn't matter if Seoul is destroyed..."
"No!"
Han Minghui said: "The inner city can still be defended for fifteen days! I am willing to defend the city personally and wait for the arrival of the Ming Dynasty King's army, so that I can dedicate the complete Seoul to His Majesty!"
Cheng Xin's eyes darkened, Seoul will be destroyed!
Without experiencing the cruelty of the Jurchens, how can we know the goodness of the Ming Dynasty?
Moreover, how can it be perfectly integrated into the Ming Dynasty without consuming North Korea's population?
"Okay, Mr. Han will go to guard the city immediately. I will wait here for good news." Cheng Xin wanted to kill Han Minghui immediately.
But can't.
Li Yao's whereabouts are unknown, and only a few people such as Zheng Linzhi and Han Minghui can preside over the government.
If Han Minghui was killed at this time, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
As long as Wang Yue arrives in Seoul, no one can make waves.
The Jurchen soldiers attacked particularly fiercely, and the city wall was crumbling.
Fortunately, Han Minghui arrived in time and barely managed to save the city wall. He ordered all the troops to return to guard the city wall.
Li Yao, who was hiding in the tunnel, felt very stuffy.
He thought it was because it was stuffy in the tunnel.
As a result, a eunuch cried and reported that there was a fire outside and the entire palace was on fire, making it impossible to get out.
The concubine Li Shu was so frightened that he cried.
"Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!"
Li Yao shouted loudly: "Then the Ming Envoy only has this ability. He burned down the fifth palace and then built it again. As long as I'm still alive, they can't do anything to me!"
He really miscalculated. Before hiding in the tunnel, he should have sent someone out of the palace and asked the general to come into the palace to serve the king.
Fortunately, he had prepared food in advance.
There is no problem in surviving in a tunnel for a few months.
He built this tunnel like a maze. Without a map, it would be impossible to get out. Moreover, the craftsmen who built the tunnel were all poisoned by him.
In the world, only he, Li Yao, knew how to get out.
The people who serve him personally are all his personal eunuchs, people he can trust.
He can stay in there for a while.
"Huo'er, why don't you cry?"
Li Yao discovered that his second son Li Zhu was not afraid.
"Back to my father, I am not afraid even though he is the emperor. My son is just a king. What is there to be afraid of?"
Li Huan, who was only nine years old, was filled with joy at these words.
"My Qilin'er, it will be you, Li Zhu, who will prosper the Korean royal family in the future!" Li Yao praised.
Li Huo is the future Ruizong.
The one who died inexplicably.
However, Li Yao's mood became depressed again: "Emperor Jingtai is as cunning as a fox and as cruel as a jackal. We in Korea respect the Ming Dynasty, but he wants to take over my land in Korea. It is really hateful."
He is not a foolish king.
From the time Cheng Xin and Luo Qi entered the palace to seize the door, he understood that Ming Dynasty was planning a chaos in Korea, and his ambitions were obvious.
"Father, if you are warlike, your country will be destroyed forever. If Emperor Jingtai is so warlike, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by his hands." Li Huo said seriously.
Li Yao also thought so. The Ming Dynasty swallowed up North Korea, just like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty swallowed up Goguryeo and brought about his own destruction.
"My son, remember today's shame. When you ascend the throne as emperor in the future, you must reorganize your military, create Korean writing, break away from the Ming Dynasty, and become a feud with the Ming Dynasty!"
Li Yao would never give in.
The fire in the Fifth Palace burned for seven days.
The surrounding residences were affected, but there was no turmoil in the inner city. Because many residents who had lost their homes were forcibly recruited into the army and thrown onto the city wall, consuming the Jurchens' strength.
When a section of the inner city wall was broken, corpses were used to replace it.
A terrifying centripetal force erupted in the city.
The Jurchen soldiers outside the city were already showing signs of fatigue. After all, there were only a few Jurchen soldiers, and Gunaha was reluctant to waste them in the siege.
The siege war fell into a tug of war again, and Gunaha even thought of retreating.
at the same time.
Wang Yue personally led the troops and conquered Anzhou, Sunchuan, Pingcheng and Shun'an, and successfully arrived in Pyongyang.
The Han people who came from Liaodong stationed themselves in various cities and guarded them. They did not accept the refugees and were not allowed to open the city.
North Korea was starved to death and corpses littered the fields.
The cavalry all the way ran from the west to gather the refugees and attack the city in the east. The owners of these cavalry were all Jurchens.
Li Manzhu had already given the order to grab a wave and run away.
The restrictions on the Jurchen soldiers were relaxed, and every manor was robbed. After the looting, they were transported north. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the Jurchens could not stand the heat in the south.
Li Manzhu's claim to be the King of Han was over.
He planned to go to the east of Korea, become the king of Tu, and give up the west to the Ming Dynasty.
And those who collected the refugees were the Ming army.
Wang Yue was also collecting Korean refugees and driving them to attack Huangzhou.
Huangzhou's general is Li Manzhu's fifth son, Mao Na.
Mao Nina was at odds with Li Manzhu and did not listen to Li Manzhu's order to evacuate. Instead, he sat guard in Huangzhou and allowed the Ming army to attack the city. He was not afraid at all.
Wang Yue personally led the troops to attack Huangzhou.
Zheng Guta went east, attacked Xiangyuan, controlled the northern passage, and defended the danger to guard against the Jurchen army coming from the east to attack Pyongyang.
He also sent a partial force to the west to capture and surrender Nanpu.
Wang Yue was not in a hurry, because God was not kind to him. It had been raining recently and the roads were muddy, making it difficult for the cavalry to deploy.
He sent out his cavalry to capture the nearby refugees.
Driving the refugees to attack the city and fill the moat.
Originally, the people in the court thought that the Ming army was a heavenly soldier who came to help them. However, Wang Yue personally destroyed Ming's credibility.
The Jurchen soldiers drove the refugees to attack the city.
The Ming army came and drove the refugees to attack the city.
The Jurchen soldiers did not care about the life and death of the court people, nor did the Ming Dynasty. Even after conquering a city, they allowed the Tatar soldiers to massacre the city.
Some court people hiding in the mountains heard that the Ming army had driven away the Jurchens and that the heavenly soldiers were coming. They came out and asked to enter the city, but they were rejected by the Ming army and were shot with a hail of arrows.
They had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally the Koreans' own army came.
Wang Yue organized and trained a court army in Yizhou, collecting surrendered troops along the way, and expanded its strength based on the court and Jurchens. This army already numbered 3000 people.
They spoke the local dialect, and as a result they drove the refugees to attack the city.
They are more ruthless than the Jurchens and Mingren. They know the Chao people's lairs and lead them to find their lairs.
The refugees cried for their fathers and mothers, and corpses lay everywhere.
Wang Yue only asked people to bury the corpses on the spot, and bury the corpses when they saw them.
Not out of benevolence, but out of fear of a plague.
August 29.
Wang Yue received news from Zhenggu Pagoda that Xiangyuan had been obtained, and he went south to recover Sui'an, defended along the river, stopped the offensive, and blocked the westward advance of the Jurchen soldiers.
"Siege!"
Wang Yue issued an order for the cavalry to abandon their horses and attack the city.
The Tatar soldiers were reluctant, and Wang Yue promised that if the city was broken, he would be allowed to massacre the city and let the Tatar soldiers vent their anger to their heart's content.
On August 31, the city of Huangzhou was destroyed, Mao Nie's head was presented, and Huangzhou was massacred.
On the first day of September, Yinbo was captured.
On the second day of September, the three cities of Ruixing, Pingshan and Jinchuan were obtained.
On the third day of September, Wang Yue arrived at Kaicheng City.
He came with an army of 7000, and now has 8000 left in his hands, with a total consumption of around [-].
But 4000 Han soldiers were left to guard various cities. He had [-] people on hand, not a single Han.
The person guarding Kaicheng is another difficult character, Li Manzhu's second son Duxi.
Duxi was very ambitious and smart. After he took possession of Kaicheng, he worked hard to manage Kaicheng, strengthened the city walls, added defensive equipment, and treated the people courteously.
He is different from his father and brothers.
They were Jurchens at heart, but Duxi was Han at heart, and the local court people actually praised him.
Wang Yue knew that Kaicheng could not be defeated.
He left Zhenggu Pagoda behind and surrounded Kaicheng, but did not attack it.
He himself led the cavalry and galloped through the starry night. On the fifth day of September, he arrived in Seoul, outside the city!
Only twelve days have passed since the August 24th coup!
The news that Wang Yue's troops were coming to Seoul exploded in the inner city.
(End of this chapter)
Li Manzhu has been walking on the edge of the sword all year round and has already predicted the danger.
Moreover, he has always been on guard against North Korea's monarchs and ministers.
From the fact that the North Korean officials were unwilling to shave their hair and change their clothes, Li Manzhu knew that these North Koreans were arrogant at heart and would not serve a barbarian like him.
Therefore, he lived in the inner city, which was guarded by Jurchen soldiers. No one from the North was allowed to enter, and there was no access to the inside or outside.
At the same time, he sent troops to guard the East City Gate. If anything went wrong, he would immediately escape from Pyongyang through the moving gate and flee to the east of Pyongyang.
He had eight sons. Northern Korea was barren, and he divided it among his son-in-law Fancha, Fancha's nephew Dongshan and other foreign generals.
And gave the prosperous place to his son to guard.
His eldest son Gunahar was attacking Seoul.
The Jurchens, like Mongolia, have the tradition that the younger son inherits the family business, and the eldest son has to develop on his own.
The waist of the Korean Peninsula is entirely in the hands of the Jurchens, so the Ming army's attack on Pyongyang will not panic Li Manzhu.
He is living in the palace, and serving him is the concubine left by the king of Korea.
"Dad, Pyongyang can't hold it any longer. The gold and silver treasures should have been transported away long ago."
It is his younger son Yi Chengju who guards Pyongyang with Li Manzhu.
Yi Chengju is Li Manzhu's favorite son. Although he is stupid, on the battlefield, Yi Chengju is an excellent warrior and has great military morale.
"You know nothing, this is North Korea, not Ming Dynasty!"
Li Manzhu glared at him: "The Ming army wants us to merge with the North Koreans, and they will benefit from it. Do you think the Ming Dynasty will be kind and kind to rescue North Korea?"
He spoke Mongolian.
The Jurchens also have their own language, but the Tatars are too powerful and rule the northern and northeastern regions of the Eastern Desert. In order to better kneel down and lick the Tatars, the Jurchens gave up the Jurchen language and all spoke Mongolian.
Yi Chengju scratched his hair and didn't understand.
"idiot."
"The Ming army will let us leave."
"Don't worry, just put the property in the middle and surround it with soldiers."
"Throw away all the people in the court, and we will retreat after dawn!"
Li Manzhu saw clearly.
Ming Dynasty wanted a broken Korea, so he would definitely let Li Man live.
After his death, Li Manzhu would leave the Jurchens in disarray. The Jurchens in a state of disunity would only flee back to Jianzhou Sanwei and would no longer be used as swordsmen for the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Yue is understanding him, and he is also understanding Wang Yue.
If people in the world still think that Emperor Jingtai is a foolish king, he is definitely the biggest fool in the world.
Emperor Jingtai was very good at using people, and Wang Yue was an outstanding person that Emperor Jingtai used very highly.
It just shows that Wang Yue is extremely talented.
This person is not well-known, but if you look at what he has been doing recently, you will know how powerful he is.
Wang Yue was stationed in Yizhou, training troops, Chineseizing and immigrating.
Regarding these three things, others may not do them well if they do them one by one. Wang Yue does all three at the same time, in an orderly manner and excels in them all.
He, Li Manzhu, has been dealing with the Tatars for half his life. He knows how rebellious the Tatar soldiers are and they only obey the strong.
And Wang Yue was a lame man, a lame man who would only be laughed at by the Tatar soldiers.
But this lame man commanded [-] Tatar soldiers!
The Tatar soldiers did not mutiny and were trained by him patiently.
This shows Wang Yue's ability to command troops.
What makes him even smarter is that he sees the overall situation in North Korea and is good at seizing opportunities.
The Jurchens have been stationed in North Korea for several months, and they have long lost the ambitions they had when they first arrived, and all their energy is wasted on Korean women.
If you have too much money, your legs will be weak, and you will be corrupted, you will no longer be a strong soldier.
The Jurchen soldiers at this time are at their weakest.
Looking at the Tatar soldiers, Wang Yue used the method of boiling eagles to boil the Tatar soldiers, and then suddenly released them. The Tatar soldiers were like tigers coming out of their boxes.
One is strong and the other is weak, and the judgment is made.
At the same time, he has the best chance of choosing.
The outer city of Seoul had been captured and the inner city was crumbling. Wang Yue suddenly took action and seized the opportunity to rescue North Korea.
Therefore, Li Manzhu understood that Wang Yue was not only fighting, but also coordinating North Korean politics.
Such Wang Yue will definitely let Li Manzhu leave Pyongyang and bring chaos to the entire North Korea.
At the same time, he also saw through the Ming Emperor's thoughts.
The Ming Emperor is going to take over Korea!
He doesn't need a submissive younger brother, but wants to turn his younger brother into a mainland.
Therefore, if the Koreans hiding in the ravines are moved to Liaohe Tao with great efforts, and then the Han people are moved in, northern Korea can be held in hand.
As for North Korea, the terrain in the north is steep and the south is a flat plain. As long as Pyongyang is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the south will be smooth and smooth, and it can be leveled overnight.
The Koreans in the south had no chance to resist.
This is the chess game of the Ming Emperor.
If the Han people live in steep terrain and the Chao people live in a place where there is no danger to defend, the Chao people will only be forced to assimilate into the Han people and will not be allowed to resist.
Li Manzhu was not a mediocre person. He seized this opportunity to strengthen the Jurchens.
He was driven by the Ming Emperor to cause trouble in North Korea, so he could turn the North Koreans into Jurchens, then use North Korea's wealth to raise Jurchen soldiers, and use the Ming army to hone the Jurchens' combat effectiveness.
By the time the Jurchens returned to their old nest, their power had grown several times.
Your Majesty the Emperor, if you want North Korea, the vast and cold Northeast, please give it to me, the Jurchens!
really.
Li Manzhu slowly withdrew from Pyongyang, and Zheng Guta also slowly occupied Pyongyang, trying to avoid street fighting with the Jurchens.
The Tatar soldiers are cavalry, and cavalry cannot fight in street battles.
The Jurchen soldiers are infantry and cavalry, so they have an advantage in street fighting.
Therefore, North Korean officials kept urging Zheng Guta to pursue Li Manju, kill Li Manju, and avenge the King of Joseon!
At this moment, more than a dozen high-ranking North Korean officials gathered around Zheng Guta, chattering endlessly.
Zheng Guta got bored and stared: "Why don't you go and kill me?"
"Your Majesty ordered you to rescue North Korea, but you let Li Manzhu leave. I will file a complaint against you!" North Korean officials were furious.
Many officials in red official robes pointed at Zheng Guta and said, "Li Manzhu committed atrocious crimes, but you were so cowardly that you allowed the leader of the thieves to leave. Where did you put the face of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty? You Zheng Guta Is there any collusion with Li Manzhu?"
Seeing them moving Emperor Jingtai out, Zheng Guta felt guilty: "My soldiers are all cavalry and are not good at street fighting. How can I attack and kill him?"
"Isn't it okay to go out of the city to pursue it?"
"It's getting late, and I'm not familiar with the terrain of North Korea..."
Before Zheng Guta finished speaking, he was stopped by the official in red robes: "I am willing to go with you to kill the enemy. Why are you not familiar with the terrain? If you are afraid of fighting, you can lend your soldiers to me, and I will definitely Cut off Li Manzhu’s dog’s head!”
Zheng Guta was forced into a corner and muttered: "You are so powerful, why don't you fight Li Manzhu yourself? Why are you borrowing my soldiers?"
"You! What do you know, you barbarian!" the North Korean official scolded.
Zheng Guta is a Tatar and naturalized in the Ming Dynasty.
Whatever he lacks, he makes up for it. What he hates most is that others look down on his background.
"This general is Le Anbo, whom His Majesty has ennobled! He is not your lackey from North Korea!"
Zheng Guta shouted fiercely: "Your Majesty issued an imperial edict stating that the Tatars also belong to the ethnic minority of China, and are Chinese like the Han people!"
"Your Majesty has established an imperial temple, and one of the temples is full of Mongolians, which shows that Mongolians and Han people are one family!"
"You, a North Korean official, are so contemptuous of me!"
"As everyone knows, without me, you are still working as dogs for Li Manzhu!"
"Why didn't you serve your king when I didn't come?"
"Why do you talk so much about loyalty when I come? And avenge you, the King of Korea? What were you thinking about before?"
"I would like to ask you, why do you want to be Li Manzhu's dog?"
Zheng Guta was so angry that he said fiercely: "Okay!"
"Uncle, I'm stupid and can't argue with you!"
"Send the order, close the city gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
Zheng Guta quietly put his hand on the handle of the knife.
Don't forget, Wang Yue also gave him another task!
"Why did you close the city gate?"
The North Korean official pointed at Zheng Guta: "Are you, Zheng Guta, going to betray His Majesty and establish yourself as king?"
"Zili, your sister!"
Reed!
Zheng Guta suddenly drew his knife and struck him on the chest: "You are the only one who talks too much!"
"what?"
When they saw that Zheng Guta had killed someone, other officials screamed in fear, some ran for their lives, and some kowtowed in the direction of Beijing: "Your Majesty, why do you reuse the Tatars! They are going to betray you! Occupy North Korea and make yourself king!" "
"Kill them all!"
Zheng Guta was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly ordered the killing.
The North Korean dignitaries in Pyongyang were doing well after Li Manzhu captured North Korea. Many civil servants were even recruited by Li Manzhu and became officials under him.
When the Ming army came, they were a little disappointed. The Ming general didn't use them at all.
The greater disappointment lies behind.
Li Man lived without slaughtering the city.
Instead, the Ming army began to massacre the city!
After Zheng Guta closed the city gate, he issued an order to allow the Tatar soldiers to enter the Gaomen Courtyard to plunder and massacre the city!
The city of Pyongyang is of great political significance to North Korea.
Without massacre, it would be difficult to control.
Moreover, this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is built on a dangerous terrain. The Ming army has very few troops, only 2 people. It is simply unrealistic to completely control the north of Pyongyang.
Therefore, Wang Yue gave Zheng Guta the last order.
After taking control of Pyongyang, he allowed his soldiers to loot and massacre the city appropriately!
Zheng Guta didn't know what was appropriate.
Just start slaughtering.
Anyway, the job of massacring a city is a traditional skill of the Tatar people. They are born with it and are very good at it.
The whole of Pyongyang was plunged into extreme fear.
The noble houses were destroyed, and the fierce Tatar soldiers went in, burned, killed, and looted, committing all kinds of evil.
But what really caused trouble in Pyongyang was the North Korean people. Seeing this as an opportunity to make a fortune, they all came out to follow the Tatar soldiers to rob and kill each other.
The whole of Pyongyang was in complete chaos.
Zheng Guta sat on the corpse of the North Korean official: "I am ordering all the troops not to light fires or burn the city! All the proceeds of looting belong to the individual!"
He knew very well that this was Wang Yue's plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Massacre the city of Pyongyang and consume the Tatar soldiers.
He is the Count of the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the Tatar soldiers.
Anyway, I will add more after death, so what are you worried about?
For the great achievement of breaking Pyongyang, he will definitely be given a world certificate, and his son will be found.
The city of Pyongyang cannot be burned down. Once it is burned down, they will have to live in the wilderness. If the Jurchen soldiers come back, they will be dumbfounded.
Kill all the people and leave the city behind.
At this time, one of his subordinates presented some beauties, all of them from high-ranking families, and Zheng Guta enjoyed them happily.
News of Pyongyang's capture reached Wang Yue.
Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Anzhou.
"Send the order to attack the four cities of Anzhou, Sunchuan, Pingcheng and Shun'an!"
These are the four cities heading towards Pyongyang, opening up the road to Pyongyang.
At the same time, he wrote to Li Xian, requesting Li Xian to increase his troops by [-] and [-] Han troops, all of which were infantry, to defend the city, and to transfer the equipment and food for the city defense.
The news reached Shenyang.
Li Xian did not dare to delay, so he immediately counted [-] soldiers and marched to North Korea to defend the city.
At the same time, the news of Wang Yue's occupation of Pyongyang was passed to the center.
Seoul.
Cheng Xin and Luo Qi have already instigated Quan Bo's rebellion.
Quan was greedy like a sheep, a wolf, and a locust. He was greedy to the extreme. His only son Quan Jian was arrested. He even bargained with Cheng Xin and negotiated a very high bargaining chip.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to grant him the Andong Mansion and break the soil to make him a marquis.
He believed that although the Ming Dynasty coveted the land of Korea, the place he wanted was relatively barren land on the eastern edge of the peninsula, across the sea from Tsushima Island.
Moreover, he also wanted to be Li Hongwei's father-in-law and let Li Hongwei entrust the state affairs into his hands.
Cheng Xin wanted to vote at that time.
"It is true that power is like a hungry tiger devouring a sheep. It must be fought quickly and quickly. If it is slow, it will change."
Luo Qi remained cautious, worried that Quan Zhen would use the bargaining chip here to talk to Li Yao.
Cheng Xin also felt that Quan Bo was unreliable.
Start now.
Cheng Xin contacted Quan Zhu again, and it was scheduled for August 24, the day after tomorrow. Quan Zhu first carried Li Hongwei out, and then Quan Zhu and Han Que took over the servants, plus a hundred Ming troops, to attack Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Gyeongbokgung Palace is the first of the five palaces in North Korea. The palace is named after the word "Gyeongbok" in "The Gentleman for Ten Thousand Years" in the Book of Songs.
The regulations were regulated by the royal palace. After it was completed, Ming Dynasty sent people to inspect it to see if there were any violations.
Quan Zhen hesitated: "How can we accomplish something with just 200 people?"
"Taizong of the Tang Dynasty succeeded with less than a hundred people, so he could rule Zhenguan!"
Cheng Xin said sternly: "Tang Minghuang launched the Tang Long coup with hundreds of people to create the Kaiyuan era!"
"We have 200 people in our hands, most of them are loyal troops, why can't we accomplish this?"
"Quan Zhu, if you hesitate any longer, the King of Korea will find out that we are the Great Tomorrow Officials, and the King of Korea will not dare to deal with you at will!"
"But your glory and wealth are gone!"
Quan Zhen was also familiar with history books and knew that Emperor Taizong and Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty were both emperors who started their careers in rebellion.
The problem is that he is not the emperor!
We also need to support Li Hongwei, so he can become a powerful minister!
It’s better to be Sima Yi.
As for the Seizing of the Gate incident, it did not end well in this time and space. In the Ming Dynasty's Seizing of the Gate, the Supreme Emperor became the king of Japan. In Annan's Seizing of the Gate, Li Yimin was killed in just a few months.
He really regretted why he listened to the instigation of the messenger.
If his son dies, then he dies, he still has a grandson!
"Lord Quan, do you still want to split the earth and become king?"
Cheng Xin smiled and said, "As long as you open the palace door, everything will be left to me."
Quan Zhu was still hesitating.
Cheng Xin lowered his voice and said: "I have another piece of news for you. Our soldiers have moved south. They have reached Anzhou at this time and can enter Pyongyang at any time."
Suddenly, Quan Zhen's face was full of fear.
Once he falls out with Cheng Xin, when the soldiers from tomorrow come, they will definitely kill him, Quan Zhu!
But he didn't dare to kill Cheng Xin.
If you kill Cheng Xin, you can't explain it to Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, Emperor Ming Dynasty will be angry and killing him will be considered a minor matter.
Quan Zhu knew he had no choice, so he said with a sad face: "Isn't it okay to just listen to you?"
The day is set for tomorrow.
August 24.
Li Yao had no intention of dealing with the memorial. The outer city of Seoul had been breached. Li Manzhu's eldest son Gunaha was very brave. He led his troops to attack Seoul for only 47 days and captured two urns and the outer city.
In the evening, Li Yao had a headache.
It was announced that the imperial doctor would come to the palace for diagnosis and treatment. During the treatment, a eunuch suddenly came in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the Jianchun Gate has been opened!"
"Open it if you open it, close it if it's closed, as long as the Jurchens don't come in."
After Li Yao finished speaking, she was stunned: "What did you say? Who opened the Jianchun Gate?"
"Your Majesty, they might be bandits!" The eunuch didn't know.
Geonchunmun is the east gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Gyeongbokgung Palace has four gates, Gwanghwamun is the main entrance.
Because the outer city was captured, Li Yao sent the imperial guards out to guard the inner city, leaving the palace slightly empty.
Suddenly, Li Yao stood up: "Where is the Supreme Emperor?"
Li Hongwei has already restored it once!
Could it be him again this time?
The eunuch didn't know either.
"Immediately pass the order and order the imperial guards to return to the palace to guard the palace!"
Li Yao couldn't care less about her headache and asked the eunuch to help her get dressed and hide herself first.
Fortunately, when Seoul was besieged, he had made preparations in advance and dug a tunnel in the palace so that he could hide underground and wait for the storm to pass.
Luo Qi and Cheng Xin led the Ming army and entered the palace from Jianchun Gate.
Didn't encounter much resistance.
After rushing into Kangning Hall, Li Yao was not found, and even the queen in Jiaotai Hall disappeared.
Luo Qi grabbed several young eunuchs and asked them. After questioning, she learned that the emperor had already taken his concubines and princes into the tunnel.
The tunnels leading to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, and Gyeonghuigung Palace are full of side roads, like a maze, and you can't get out without a map.
No one knew where the emperor had gone.
Luo Qi and Cheng Xin looked at each other and felt bad.
Li Yao secretly dug a tunnel, which the Ming envoys didn't know about, and Quan Bo didn't tell them either.
Quan Zhuo, this idiot, didn't disclose such important information.
"First declare to the outside world that the King of Joseon has died, and let the palace become chaotic first." Cheng Xin made a prompt decision.
We’ve already made it this far, so we can’t withdraw, right?
At this time, Quan Zhen, carrying Li Hongwei on his back, also entered the Qinzheng Hall and invited Li Hongwei to ascend the throne.
Li Hongwei was the former nephew of the emperor.
The throne was snatched away by his uncle!
At this moment, when I saw the throne on the Qinzheng Hall, my eyes shed tears. I slowly walked up to Danqi, one step at a time, walking firmly, and slowly sat on the throne.
But as soon as he sat down, Quan Zhu received the news that Li Yao ran away.
"You, you, come down!" Quan Zhen pointed at Li Hongwei and said a very funny sentence.
Li Hongwei was also confused. Want me to come down?
I am the king of Korea now, you want me to come down?
"Father!"
Li Hongwei lowered his voice and shouted coldly: "This seat belongs to me, but it has been stolen by Li Yao for six years! I am ruling the world again, what's wrong with it?"
Quan is so confused, what can I tell you?Did I tell you that Li Yao ran away?
"You, come down!" Quan Zhen felt infinite regret, why did he listen to the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to fool him? Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero of the Jingnan War?
"My father-in-law, please don't be presumptuous. I am the emperor of North Korea, so there is nothing wrong with me!" Li Hongwei lowered his voice and shouted coldly.
He had had enough of being cooped up.
When he rules the world again, he will do something big, use his fists and kicks to make up for all the things that have been owed to him over the years, and start with a few beauties!
Take his uncle’s concubines!
"You, you come down first!"
Quan Zhuo can't go up either. This is Danqi. If he goes up, he will be rebelling!
If you could, you would definitely pinch Li Hongwei's neck and throw him down hard. You loser, did you hurt me so badly?
Han Que shouted coldly: "Quan Zhen, don't be rude to His Majesty!"
He was supposed to be on a mission to the Ming Dynasty, but the outer city was broken. He was trapped in Seoul and could not get out.
Cheng Xin found him and naturally hit it off.
"Your Majesty ran away." Quan Zhen said in a low voice.
"what?"
Han Que jumped up in fright and said in horror: "Why, why did you run away? What do Cheng Xin and Luo Qi do to eat?"
"How would I know?"
Quan Zhu was sweating: "It's over now!"
"Don't worry, there's still help!"
Han Que looked at Li Hongwei, who was sitting on the throne with high spirits, and lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, please come down first."
"Han Qing, why don't you tell the world?" Li Hongwei thought Li Yao was dead.
He is still waiting to receive Li Yao's head.
He wants to tell his uncle personally that I am the emperor again, and I will also bring all your concubines into the harem for you to watch!
"You come down first." Han Que negotiated.
"Quickly tell the world, please invite the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to enter the palace." Li Hongwei refused to listen.
Han Que said nervously: "Your Majesty ran away."
Pfft!
Li Hongwei fell down from the throne as if struck by lightning. His whole body was limp, and he rolled down the Danqi for some unknown reason.
He rolled to Han Que's feet and asked in horror, regardless of the pain: "W-what did you say?"
"Your Majesty ran away."
"Quickly, send me back to the palace!" Li Hongwei was so frightened that his two bodies trembled, and a stream of clear water flowed out.
Everyone in the entire Qinzheng Hall was stunned.
They were all ready to ascend the throne, but Li Yao ran away. Isn't this a joke with his life?Could it be any more funny?
"Hurry up, just tell me... I have never been here, I have never been here!" Li Hongwei jumped up in a hurry and ran out of the palace.
But Quan Zhuo pulled Han Que: "You said there is a way, what is it?"
Han Que just looked at Li Hongwei's back with cold eyes.
"You, you mean?" Quan Zhen was shocked.
This is regicide!
Even if there is a glimmer of hope now, sooner or later the family will be destroyed.
"This is our only way to survive!"
Kill Li Hongwei.
Make up a story for Li Yao and let Li Yao let them go for the time being.
Then, they took their families and fled to Ming Dynasty to seek asylum from His Majesty the Emperor.
"This this……"
"This, this, this! Do it or not!"
Han Que's eyes were sharp: "If you don't do it, you will die!" Quan Bo burst into tears: "Do it!"
He took the knife from the attendant and walked towards Li Hongwei.
One left and one right with Han Que.
Li Hongwei ran very fast. He ran outside the palace and towards his bedroom. He must not let Li Yao know that they were coming to restore power again.
Last time it was a joke, this time it's a joke within a joke.
puff!
Suddenly, there was a knife on the left and right.
Li Hongwei was hit by a knife, turned around in horror, and looked at Han Que and Quan Zhu incomprehensibly, why do you want to kill me?
"Your Majesty, unless you die, we will all die!"
Han Que slapped him hard.
Quan Zhu is also working hard.
Two people must kill each other at the same time to bind each other.
"Treacherous minister!" Li Hongwei could not imagine that he believed in Han Que so much that he actually died in Han Que's hands.
It turned out to be a happy coup, killing Li Yao and welcoming Li Hongwei to the throne.
As a result, Li Yao ran away.
Han Que and Quan Zhu were forced to kill Li Hongwei to express their loyalty to Li Yao.
"All of you, chop him!" Han Que forced everyone to stand on their side.
"Hurry up, let your family pack their bags, let's take a boat to Daming!" Han Que said to Quan Bo again.
Don't even think about continuing to serve as an official in North Korea.
I can only go to Ming Dynasty to be a bereaved dog.
"Woooooo!" Quan Zhen cried bitterly.
At this moment, Kangnyeong Palace suddenly burst into flames, and at the same time, the entire Gyeongbokgung Palace burned down.
"What does Mingshi want to do?"
Han Que stared at the fire blankly, not caring about escaping, and murmured: "Are you going to destroy North Korea?"
Quan Zhen stopped crying: "Why did Cheng Xin burn down Gyeongbokgung Palace?"
"Don't you know that when Gyeongbokgung Palace was burned, all the officers guarding the city would see it? They thought that if there was a coup in the palace, the entire military camp would be in chaos!"
"And the Jurchens will take the opportunity to attack the city..."
"What are they going to do? What are they doing?"
Quan Bo was horrified: "Your Majesty is dead, what good will it do to them?"
"Yes, North Korea is in chaos, and the Ming Dynasty can annex North Korea!" Han Que said blankly.
He always thought that Ming Dynasty had no ambitions towards North Korea.
But he was wrong.
Emperor Jingtai is a lunatic with unimaginable greed for land. What he wants to do is not Emperor Taizong, but Kublai Khan!
"Quan Zhen, maybe there is a chance for us to get back together!" Han Que said suddenly.
Quan Bo was stunned: "We killed the Supreme Emperor, can His Majesty still reuse us?"
"No, Ming Dynasty can reuse us."
Han Que had deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty. He regarded himself as a Ming Dynasty. There were many courtiers in North Korea who regarded themselves as a Ming Dynasty.
However, although he has feelings, he is a political figure and a power animal, and he thinks more about political issues.
The Yuan Dynasty ruled Korea by using Korean people.
The great ancestor of the Joseon Dynasty, Li Chenggui, was born in the family of the chief steward of the Dayuan Dynasty. He was a hereditary Daru Huachi (governor and seal holder).
When the Ming Dynasty ruled North Korea, it would be like the Yuan Dynasty. It would not send Han people to rule. Instead, it would divide Wanhufu and rule North Korea according to the Yuan system. He Han was indeed a hero, so he would naturally be appointed as a high official.
His descendants have transformed from civil servants to hereditary families.
When the Ming Dynasty declines, his descendants can take advantage of the situation and rebuild North Korea. By then, his family will be a royal family!
Han Que saw great hope!An opportunity to imitate Li Chenggui!
make a prompt decision.
"Let's go and light all five palaces on fire!"
Han Que wanted to win the trust of the Ming Emperor. Only by being loyal to the Ming Emperor and the kind-hearted Emperor Jingtai could he give him what he wanted.
After all, in his eyes, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong he had met were all very kind.
Quan Zhen is also a power animal and immediately understood what Han Que meant.
Being a Daruhuachi of the Ming Dynasty is much better than being a civil servant.
"How can we let the envoys know about our merits?" Quan Bo asked.
"Send someone to contact Cheng Xin and Luo Qi and tell them that we are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and go through fire and water for His Majesty the Ming Dynasty!" Han Que said.
Quan Zhen said: "This is not enough. I will go there myself and bargain with them."
"Please do not!"
Han Que shouted: "We are willing to let His Majesty Ming conquer North Korea from the bottom of our hearts and willingly, rather than premeditated and calculated. You must understand."
Quan Zhen suddenly realized that he could not bargain with the Ming Emperor.
At that time, Li Chenggui's ancestors did not dare to bargain with Kublai Khan, so they had eternal prosperity for generations.
No one thought that the Ming Dynasty would become North Korea, because the failure of Annan, a county in the Ming Dynasty, made North Korea naively believe that there would be no more counties in the Ming Dynasty.
"Quan Zhu, can you convince Han Minghui to use him for our benefit?"
Quan Zhen and Han Minghui are best friends.
"Yes!" Quan Zhen also needs Han Minghui. His IQ cannot keep up with Cheng Xin. Cheng Xin's skills are too high. Only Han Minghui can compete with Cheng Xin.
"You immediately send someone to invite Han Minghui into the palace and let Han Minghui plan for us!"
Han Que didn't want to be the first person.
He hoped that his son would become his ancestor.
Those who bargain with the Ming Emperor will definitely not end well, let Han Minghui do it.
And Gyeongbokgung Palace was already on fire.
Cheng Xin and Luo Qi also planned to burn the Fifth Palace of Korea.
Use the fire of the Fifth Palace to shake the morale of Seoul's troops. As long as the Jurchens break into Seoul, Li Yao will be seriously injured even if he is alive.
Cheng Xin was quite lonely and failed to succeed.
This change of seizing the door seems simple, but why is it frustrated at every turn?
Ming Dynasty's move to seize the door was awkward.
Annan's move to seize the door gave Li Sicheng an advantage.
North Korea's coup led to the rightful owner running away.
The history of the Ming Dynasty is reflected in North Korea and Annan, just like a mirror. Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty died mysteriously, and Ruizong of North Korea also died mysteriously.
It was difficult for the Ming emperor to have a son, and it was also difficult for the Joseon emperor to have a son, and the mortality rate was extremely high.
Moreover, the Ming emperors tended to die young, and the Joseon emperors also often died young.
Really interesting.
"Burn the other four palaces and send people to declare that Li Yao burned himself to death!" Luo Qi used Jianwen's old story.
When Emperor Taizong invaded the capital (Nanjing), Emperor Jianwen set fire to the palace and burned it down. Whether he was alive or dead became a mystery.
And the person who knows the answer to this mystery is Hu Hui.
"it is good!"
Cheng Xin immediately asked people to spread rumors that Li Yao had set himself on fire.
"If you continue to falsely pass on the imperial edict, summon North Korean officials together and catch them all!" Luo Qi said fiercely. Zheng Linzhi, Han Minghui and others will die.
And the Gyeongbokgung Palace fire.
Jin Xiaocheng, who was stationed in the inner city, saw the fire and his military morale was turbulent. There was also movement in the Jurchen camp outside the city, as if they were planning to attack the city.
"Everyone stays at their posts, no one is allowed to move!" Jin Xiaocheng is a general.
He rectified the morale of the army and allowed the soldiers to defend the city safely.
but.
Li Yao was an outstanding and promising monarch. He was worried about leaving the military power to Jin Xiaocheng alone. He dispersed the military power, such as Pu Zhongsun and Cui Heng, who were all in charge of the army.
These people are all first-class contributors to Jingnan.
There is no level of status.
But politically it was all discord.
There was a struggle for power between them. Kim Hyo-sung went east, Park Joong-sun absolutely went west, and Cui Heng definitely went north.
When there is no war, Li Yao can rely on the forces of all parties to compete with each other and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. But when war comes, this is a taboo for military strategists.
Sure enough, Jin Xiaocheng defended the city.
Pu Zhongsun was about to rescue the palace, but Cui Heng actually wanted to go out of the city to fight in the field, and they quarreled endlessly.
In the end, Pu Zhongsun took his soldiers away and galloped freely in the inner city to help the palace.
outside the city walls.
Gunaha is watching the city. Although he is a reckless man, he is still a warrior. After all, he has been trained by his father Li Manzhu since he was a child, so he still has a lot of experience in fighting.
He first gathered his soldiers and pretended to attack a city wall.
It was met with extremely fierce counterattack.
"Something happened in the city!"
Gunaha immediately judged: "Something must have happened to the King of Korea, leaving the city's defenders empty."
"That fire was lit by the North Korean palace, and the order was sent to attack the city!"
Only when you feel guilty will you react violently.
Gunahar stepped up his attack on the city.
When the Jurchens attacked the city, just like the Mongols, they first looted the surrounding areas, drove out the nearby residents, and filled in the moat.
The Jurchens are different from the Han people. The Han soldiers do not fight like fighting, but like playing house. They dare not fight in the field, defend the city for fear of death, and cannot see clearly in night battles. Anyway, they have various reasons to avoid fighting.
The Jurchen soldiers were called up in the middle of the night, and the commander gave the order to attack the city without any nonsense. These Jurchen soldiers climbed up the city wall like wolves and tigers, and attacked desperately without a word of complaint.
Only if you are not afraid of hardship and death can you fight well, win battles, and overcome headwinds.
However, it is not easy to control the Jurchen soldiers after they win the battle. After the Han soldiers win the battle, the general can still restrain them, but after the Jurchen soldiers win a great battle, even the King of Heaven and I cannot restrain them.
Not only Jurchen soldiers, but also Tatar soldiers.
Each has its own advantages. Han soldiers are obedient and easy to manage, but have weak combat effectiveness. Jurchen soldiers and Tatar soldiers have strong combat effectiveness, but are prone to eating their masters.
The attack outside the city became more and more fierce.
The inner city walls are far less solid than the outer walls.
But now, only Jin Xiaocheng is guarding the city. The other generals have rushed to the palace to help. After all, the contribution of rescuing the driver is much greater than the contribution of defending the city.
Because, the five palaces and cities were all burned.
Any fool knows that something happened in the palace.
Only Jin Xiaocheng insisted on defending the city.
"Don't you think about it, what's the use of losing the inner city after saving His Majesty?" Jin Xiaocheng was full of helplessness.
The Jurchen soldiers were very good at seizing opportunities, and the inner city walls were crumbling.
And outside Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Cheng Xin was bargaining with Han Minghui.
Han Minghui faced Cheng Xin and never fell into a disadvantage.
"Master Cheng, you can't be the master of such a big thing, right?"
Han Minghui was very cunning and kept testing Cheng Xin.
"Why can't you be the master? Your Majesty has written the imperial edict himself, and it is at the place where I am staying. I will tell you if Mr. Han is willing to go with me to pick it up." Cheng Xin did not show any timidity.
Han Minghui's eyes narrowed slightly.
When the Emperor of Ming Dynasty sent Cheng Xin here, did he have the intention to annex North Korea?
Why?
North Korea is very submissive. Emperors of the Ming Dynasty all liked the King of North Korea. Even Emperor Jingtai was good to the King of North Korea. Why did he want to annex North Korea?
The Ming Dynasty has such a vast territory, what is there in Korea that is worthy of the Ming Dynasty’s plans?
Han Minghui couldn't figure it out.
"My lords, who have made great contributions to the country, will naturally receive a reward that satisfies you. Your Majesty's generosity is beyond your imagination."
Yes, Your Majesty is generous enough to give you a ticket to the Huangquan Road.
Cheng Xin talked freely, and there was no falsehood in his heart. It was all bullshit anyway, and he would definitely not admit it when he returned to China.
Han Minghui said, "North Korea is willing to merge with China. Can you please Mr. Wang Yue to go south quickly and recover the capital?"
What Your Majesty wants is a broken Korea.
Rather than the complete North Korea.
"To be honest with Mr. Han, Wang Yue has gone south and is now in Anzhou. He can break through Pyongyang in the blink of an eye and reach Seoul in fifteen days at the latest."
Han Minghui exclaimed slightly, Master Ming Dynasty is so strong?
Think about it, the Ming Dynasty surrendered a large number of Tatar soldiers. These Tatar soldiers were stronger than the Jurchen soldiers. The Korean soldiers were really despised by the ladies of the country.
Han Minghui smiled helplessly.
"Our great soldiers are all elite cavalry, and Wang Yue is even more talented as a famous commander. He compares himself to Prime Minister Zhuge, and has talents in the world."
Cheng Xin smiled and said: "I calculated it based on the military rations. It should be closer than fifteen days."
"It doesn't matter if Seoul is destroyed..."
"No!"
Han Minghui said: "The inner city can still be defended for fifteen days! I am willing to defend the city personally and wait for the arrival of the Ming Dynasty King's army, so that I can dedicate the complete Seoul to His Majesty!"
Cheng Xin's eyes darkened, Seoul will be destroyed!
Without experiencing the cruelty of the Jurchens, how can we know the goodness of the Ming Dynasty?
Moreover, how can it be perfectly integrated into the Ming Dynasty without consuming North Korea's population?
"Okay, Mr. Han will go to guard the city immediately. I will wait here for good news." Cheng Xin wanted to kill Han Minghui immediately.
But can't.
Li Yao's whereabouts are unknown, and only a few people such as Zheng Linzhi and Han Minghui can preside over the government.
If Han Minghui was killed at this time, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
As long as Wang Yue arrives in Seoul, no one can make waves.
The Jurchen soldiers attacked particularly fiercely, and the city wall was crumbling.
Fortunately, Han Minghui arrived in time and barely managed to save the city wall. He ordered all the troops to return to guard the city wall.
Li Yao, who was hiding in the tunnel, felt very stuffy.
He thought it was because it was stuffy in the tunnel.
As a result, a eunuch cried and reported that there was a fire outside and the entire palace was on fire, making it impossible to get out.
The concubine Li Shu was so frightened that he cried.
"Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!"
Li Yao shouted loudly: "Then the Ming Envoy only has this ability. He burned down the fifth palace and then built it again. As long as I'm still alive, they can't do anything to me!"
He really miscalculated. Before hiding in the tunnel, he should have sent someone out of the palace and asked the general to come into the palace to serve the king.
Fortunately, he had prepared food in advance.
There is no problem in surviving in a tunnel for a few months.
He built this tunnel like a maze. Without a map, it would be impossible to get out. Moreover, the craftsmen who built the tunnel were all poisoned by him.
In the world, only he, Li Yao, knew how to get out.
The people who serve him personally are all his personal eunuchs, people he can trust.
He can stay in there for a while.
"Huo'er, why don't you cry?"
Li Yao discovered that his second son Li Zhu was not afraid.
"Back to my father, I am not afraid even though he is the emperor. My son is just a king. What is there to be afraid of?"
Li Huan, who was only nine years old, was filled with joy at these words.
"My Qilin'er, it will be you, Li Zhu, who will prosper the Korean royal family in the future!" Li Yao praised.
Li Huo is the future Ruizong.
The one who died inexplicably.
However, Li Yao's mood became depressed again: "Emperor Jingtai is as cunning as a fox and as cruel as a jackal. We in Korea respect the Ming Dynasty, but he wants to take over my land in Korea. It is really hateful."
He is not a foolish king.
From the time Cheng Xin and Luo Qi entered the palace to seize the door, he understood that Ming Dynasty was planning a chaos in Korea, and his ambitions were obvious.
"Father, if you are warlike, your country will be destroyed forever. If Emperor Jingtai is so warlike, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by his hands." Li Huo said seriously.
Li Yao also thought so. The Ming Dynasty swallowed up North Korea, just like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty swallowed up Goguryeo and brought about his own destruction.
"My son, remember today's shame. When you ascend the throne as emperor in the future, you must reorganize your military, create Korean writing, break away from the Ming Dynasty, and become a feud with the Ming Dynasty!"
Li Yao would never give in.
The fire in the Fifth Palace burned for seven days.
The surrounding residences were affected, but there was no turmoil in the inner city. Because many residents who had lost their homes were forcibly recruited into the army and thrown onto the city wall, consuming the Jurchens' strength.
When a section of the inner city wall was broken, corpses were used to replace it.
A terrifying centripetal force erupted in the city.
The Jurchen soldiers outside the city were already showing signs of fatigue. After all, there were only a few Jurchen soldiers, and Gunaha was reluctant to waste them in the siege.
The siege war fell into a tug of war again, and Gunaha even thought of retreating.
at the same time.
Wang Yue personally led the troops and conquered Anzhou, Sunchuan, Pingcheng and Shun'an, and successfully arrived in Pyongyang.
The Han people who came from Liaodong stationed themselves in various cities and guarded them. They did not accept the refugees and were not allowed to open the city.
North Korea was starved to death and corpses littered the fields.
The cavalry all the way ran from the west to gather the refugees and attack the city in the east. The owners of these cavalry were all Jurchens.
Li Manzhu had already given the order to grab a wave and run away.
The restrictions on the Jurchen soldiers were relaxed, and every manor was robbed. After the looting, they were transported north. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the Jurchens could not stand the heat in the south.
Li Manzhu's claim to be the King of Han was over.
He planned to go to the east of Korea, become the king of Tu, and give up the west to the Ming Dynasty.
And those who collected the refugees were the Ming army.
Wang Yue was also collecting Korean refugees and driving them to attack Huangzhou.
Huangzhou's general is Li Manzhu's fifth son, Mao Na.
Mao Nina was at odds with Li Manzhu and did not listen to Li Manzhu's order to evacuate. Instead, he sat guard in Huangzhou and allowed the Ming army to attack the city. He was not afraid at all.
Wang Yue personally led the troops to attack Huangzhou.
Zheng Guta went east, attacked Xiangyuan, controlled the northern passage, and defended the danger to guard against the Jurchen army coming from the east to attack Pyongyang.
He also sent a partial force to the west to capture and surrender Nanpu.
Wang Yue was not in a hurry, because God was not kind to him. It had been raining recently and the roads were muddy, making it difficult for the cavalry to deploy.
He sent out his cavalry to capture the nearby refugees.
Driving the refugees to attack the city and fill the moat.
Originally, the people in the court thought that the Ming army was a heavenly soldier who came to help them. However, Wang Yue personally destroyed Ming's credibility.
The Jurchen soldiers drove the refugees to attack the city.
The Ming army came and drove the refugees to attack the city.
The Jurchen soldiers did not care about the life and death of the court people, nor did the Ming Dynasty. Even after conquering a city, they allowed the Tatar soldiers to massacre the city.
Some court people hiding in the mountains heard that the Ming army had driven away the Jurchens and that the heavenly soldiers were coming. They came out and asked to enter the city, but they were rejected by the Ming army and were shot with a hail of arrows.
They had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally the Koreans' own army came.
Wang Yue organized and trained a court army in Yizhou, collecting surrendered troops along the way, and expanded its strength based on the court and Jurchens. This army already numbered 3000 people.
They spoke the local dialect, and as a result they drove the refugees to attack the city.
They are more ruthless than the Jurchens and Mingren. They know the Chao people's lairs and lead them to find their lairs.
The refugees cried for their fathers and mothers, and corpses lay everywhere.
Wang Yue only asked people to bury the corpses on the spot, and bury the corpses when they saw them.
Not out of benevolence, but out of fear of a plague.
August 29.
Wang Yue received news from Zhenggu Pagoda that Xiangyuan had been obtained, and he went south to recover Sui'an, defended along the river, stopped the offensive, and blocked the westward advance of the Jurchen soldiers.
"Siege!"
Wang Yue issued an order for the cavalry to abandon their horses and attack the city.
The Tatar soldiers were reluctant, and Wang Yue promised that if the city was broken, he would be allowed to massacre the city and let the Tatar soldiers vent their anger to their heart's content.
On August 31, the city of Huangzhou was destroyed, Mao Nie's head was presented, and Huangzhou was massacred.
On the first day of September, Yinbo was captured.
On the second day of September, the three cities of Ruixing, Pingshan and Jinchuan were obtained.
On the third day of September, Wang Yue arrived at Kaicheng City.
He came with an army of 7000, and now has 8000 left in his hands, with a total consumption of around [-].
But 4000 Han soldiers were left to guard various cities. He had [-] people on hand, not a single Han.
The person guarding Kaicheng is another difficult character, Li Manzhu's second son Duxi.
Duxi was very ambitious and smart. After he took possession of Kaicheng, he worked hard to manage Kaicheng, strengthened the city walls, added defensive equipment, and treated the people courteously.
He is different from his father and brothers.
They were Jurchens at heart, but Duxi was Han at heart, and the local court people actually praised him.
Wang Yue knew that Kaicheng could not be defeated.
He left Zhenggu Pagoda behind and surrounded Kaicheng, but did not attack it.
He himself led the cavalry and galloped through the starry night. On the fifth day of September, he arrived in Seoul, outside the city!
Only twelve days have passed since the August 24th coup!
The news that Wang Yue's troops were coming to Seoul exploded in the inner city.
