The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 366
The street fighting before Changdeokgung is in progress.

With the firearms of the Ming army opening the way, there was basically no obstacle to advancing, and the number of people from all walks of life who came to help gradually increased.

"Mr. Yunshui and Mr. Dejin led their family soldiers and 3000 troops stationed in the south of the city to help..."

"The house next to Changdeok Palace is on fire and spreading..."

Tang Yin was not in the former army, he was obviously not the kind of general who charged ahead and set an example.

The situation is very complicated. It is often said that it is the reinforcements before, and the rebels are said later. In addition, the various forces in the Joseon King City are also uncertain, making the war in an unimaginable see-saw. way forward.

Before attacking the gate of Changdeok Palace several times, he was killed and retreated several times.

Park Yuanzong personally led the team to attack, but was killed for the third time.

"On a mission, something is wrong. Thousands of people from Jingfu Palace are rushing over to help, and Lord Yunshui's troops have already retreated to the south of the city."

Pu Yuanzong rushed forward with all his brains, and if he couldn't beat him, he begged his grandpa to sue his grandma to find Tang Yin.

Tang Yin said: "Can't the cannon go in?"

Pu Yuanzong's face was covered with blood, which showed that he was on the front line. He wiped his face and said, "The guards of the palace gate are extremely tenacious!"

"Shenji Camp..." Tang Yin shouted to his side.

Liu Gui held a long gun in one hand and a short gun in his waist, all flint guns, appeared beside Tang Yin.

Tang Yin shouted: "The firecrackers open the way, call the archers over, aim the cannons at the palace gate, throw the sky gunpowder over each push, and ignite them with the cannons."

Tang Yin can be regarded as "lively learn and apply".

He had heard that Wang Shouren used the method of first burying gunpowder and then bombarding it with cannons during the Battle of Maoerzhuang, so that Meng Guolejin's troops were all over the ground. He also wanted to learn from it this time. .

It was impossible to bury them in advance, so we used firecrackers and archers to open the way, and threw the yellow powder to the front as much as possible, so that after the shells fell, as long as they could be ignited, the chain effect formed could form a greater impact on the Korean defenders. deterrence.

Pu Yuanzong said: "There are too few people to kill."

"I didn't back down, I could only go up!" Tang Yin was a little speechless.

You, Pu Yuanzong, are really weird. You don't have any scruples when you kill. After you wiped out your soldiers and horses, you come back and say that there are too few people?

No matter how few people there are, isn't it because we are now the main attack, and the guards of the North Korean palace are in charge?
Who told us that our firearms are advanced, and we are all afraid of death, so we can charge forward sideways?
"rush!"

Tang Yin took his saber from the side, drew it out and raised it above his head.

This is also wanting to learn from Wang Shouren.

But it's a bit like a cat drawing a tiger, similar in shape but not in spirit.

But it was enough to bluff the North Korean soldiers, and then the Shenji Battalion rushed forward under the leadership of Liu Gui.

"Too too..."

Liu Gui didn't dare to work too hard.

While using the shield to resist the bows and arrows shot from the opposite side, he directed the North Koreans next to him to help throw the explosive package of yellow powder forward.

After throwing it away, the North Koreans showed signs of hiding and killing them, so Liu Gui hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw!"

This kind of sawing is performed on a straight street, and you can see the walls and gates of Changdeok Palace two or three hundred steps away, but you just can't kill them, and there are corpses scattered around.

Before the soldiers in front retreated, Tang Yin had already ordered from the rear: "Fire!"

Command flags are useless. In times of chaos, only the mouth can be used to give orders.

"Boom boom boom..."

More than a dozen cannons were fired at the same time.

The defenders on the opposite side also learned to be smart. Once they saw the flashes of fire on the opposite side, they hurried to the low houses on both sides of the street to find a bunker.

But this time they never expected that in addition to Daming's flowering cannon, there would be explosive packets thrown everywhere in advance, so that after the artillery shell hit the ground and emitted a flame, it would immediately rise to a bigger flame.

"boom……"

Every time it explodes, people around are turned on their backs.

"rush!"

After Tang Yin shouted, he realized that there were almost all North Korean soldiers around him, and the soldiers couldn't understand what he said.

He grabbed Pu Yuanzong and said, "Didn't you hear that?"

Park Yuanzong also saw that after the artillery was shot out this time, it was the once-in-a-lifetime offensive window period that blinded the defenders.

"kill!"

Pu Yuanzong came alive again, and led the remaining hundreds of people to kill at the gate of Changdeokgung Palace.

At this time, there were also shouts of killing from the surrounding streets.

A translator said: "It's Lord Yunshui's men and horses, they're back again! Pu Yongwen, Gu Shouyong, Hong Jingzhou and the men from the east of the city are also here."

When Tang Yin heard it, he felt as if he had been beaten like a chicken blood: "Go all out and take down the gate of the palace!"

There were fierce shouts of killing and the sound of swords and swords intersecting. With the help of Daming's firecrackers opening the way, the coalition forces finally reached the gate of Changdeok Palace for the first time.

However, the defenders led by Ren Shihong directly ordered the palace gate to be closed regardless of Shen Shouqin's troops who were still resisting outside the palace gate and his own soldiers who would not be able to enter the palace gate in the future.

"Break the door!"

Just as Pu Yuanzong reached the gate of the palace, he found that something was wrong. He was about to find a log or something to attack the gate, but the bow and arrow shot down from above his head again.

"what!"

While Pu Yuanzong grabbed a shield to resist, people kept falling beside him, and he had to retreat again.

At this time Tang Yin also led the coalition forces to kill.

"Blast open the palace gate!"

Tang Yin yelled loudly, the gunfire soldiers raised their guns and shot, and with the cooperation of the archers, the people on the gate tower of Changdeokgung Palace suffered heavy casualties.

This time, the artillery came down to the gate of Changdeok Palace and fired, and then blew up the upper and lower gates of the city gate.

When the defenders were unable to shoot arrows and throw things down, the North Korean soldiers went up again carrying explosives, piled them directly under the palace gate, and then a group of people ran back.

"fire!"

With the sound of cannons again, the palace gate was directly blown out with a big gap, and at this time Yunshui Lord Li Xiaocheng also brought people to kill him, and brought the necessary ladders and bumpers to attack the palace gate. wait.

But before Yunshui Jun's men arrived, the coalition forces had already breached the city gate.

"Bo Yin, you are making trouble!"

When Mr. Yunshui came, he shouted at Pu Yuanzong first.

Pu Yuanzong shouted: "I was ordered by the concubine to set things right."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yunshui asked, "What is the will of the Great Concubine?"

"You will see? Will you join me, or continue to work for the tiger?" Park Yuanzong shouted.

Jun Yunshui said: "I am willing to obey orders."

Tang Yin who was not far away couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

I thought that you Koreans really know how to sing double reeds hypocritically, but after thinking about it again, I understand that even if Mr. Yunshui wants to rebel with Park Yuanzong, after all, the soldiers who brought him have a lot of thoughts in their hearts, and they must first establish the justice of the rebellion , These words are actually tantamount to speaking to North Korean soldiers.

But Tang Yin thought again, you said this in Chinese, can the soldiers below really understand it?
"Killed in! Killed in!"

Just as he was talking, a fierce battle broke out inside the palace gate, and the defenders basically had no desire to fight at this time.

And then one person was brought over.

"Who is this?" Tang Yin did not walk towards the palace gate where the fierce battle took place, but directed the battle from the outside.

Park Yuanzong came over and said, "It's Shen Shouqin! Kill!"

Before Tang Yin could say anything, the North Korean soldiers directly slaughtered Shen Shouqin, the coach who defended the army all the way, as if they had eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's courage.

After killing the man, Park Yuanzong remembered to explain to Tang Yin: "This man is from the Shen family, and their brothers are working for tigers, so they must be killed!"

Tang Yin said: "Aren't you going in with your troops?"

When Pu Yuanzong was about to mention something, a North Korean official rushed over and asked: "Ming envoy, General Pu, you are ordered by the empress to set things right, who do you want to support?"

At this time, more and more people came to help.

Tang Yin found that a street was almost occupied by people in a mess.

As the saying goes, if you get the right way, you get more help than when you lose the right way... Whoever has a strong momentum will be supported by the wall-riding faction in the city.

Now that the wall-riding faction in the city sees that the coalition forces have entered Changdeok Palace, why don't they hurry up and join the "rebels" side?Of course, after coming here, he opened his mouth to "set things right", mentioning "big concubine", Tang Yin knew that this was similar to the empress dowager, but isn't it just a pretense?Where is the princess?

Tang Yin said: "Divide the troops to attack Jingfu Palace, meet the concubine, and discuss the matter of abolishing the establishment!"

"Yes, business trip!"

Park Yuanzong also stared.

At first, I thought that the chances were not great, not to mention a narrow escape, but ten deaths, but now, the general situation is basically on my side, and suddenly I will become a hero of the Yasukuni, and I can also get the support of Daming...

From a small character who was disliked by the king of Korea to a big man who is "under one man and above ten thousand people", the excitement...is indescribable.

"Divide troops to Gyeongbokgung Palace!"

Pu Yuanzong immediately gave orders to Mr. Yunshui. After all, he didn't trust Mr. Yunshui, who was a wall-riding faction, so he asked Mr. Yunshui's people to attack another palace first.

……

……

In the inner hall of Changdeok Palace.

Li Shang still didn't know what happened outside, he only knew that it was a mess outside, and then someone reported that there were rioters making trouble.

Liu Ziguang came to report the request made by Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to him that night. He thought that Tang Yin would be greeted in a peaceful manner in the next day, so he sent him away the day after tomorrow.

At this time, Liu Ziguang did not leave the palace, and came to explain the situation outside the palace to Li according to the order.

"I don't even know about it." Of course Liu Ziguang didn't know about it.

Because from his point of view, Tang Yin and Pu Yuanzong were still stationed at the post station thirty miles north of the city, and they would never enter the city, or even threaten Li in Changdeok Palace.

Li said angrily: "Didn't you say that the thieves won't come? Tens of thousands of troops are stationed in the city. Are you still afraid of a few thieves?"

"The minister will go to check the situation and bring his personal guards to wipe out the bandits." As Li Chongxin's sycophant, Liu Ziguang gave full play to his flattering side at this time.

To lead troops to counter the rebellion.

Li Dao: "Give him 30 left guards, go!"

"Yes!"

Without further ado, Liu Ziguang led 30 people towards the west gate of Changdeok Palace where the turmoil occurred, but before he reached the west gate, he saw a group of people had already taken down the city gate, "Bang bang bang" The sound of gunfire frightened Liu Ziguang so much that he couldn't stand still.

"Lord Liu, bandits have come in! They belong to Pu Yuanzong!" The head guard reported to Liu Ziguang.

This group of guards probably consisted of more than a hundred people, and they were preparing to defend the Jinghua Palace within the west gate of Changdeok Palace. Archers were ambushing the windows of Jinghua Palace.

Liu Ziguang said angrily: "Who said they were bandits? They are soldiers of King Qin! Let them come here!"

"what?"

The foreman of the guards was also dumbfounded.

He wanted to say, is it because Liu Ziguang has bad eyesight or bad brain?It is obvious that the rebels have already entered the palace gate... Wait!I was confused!
The rebels have all been killed here, if we don't rush to welcome the "King Qin"'s division, are we going to continue to be obsessed with obsession and work for Li?

"That's right! Put down your weapons and go out to meet Wang Shi!" The defenders seemed to understand Liu Ziguang's routine.

……

……

When Liu Ziguang brought more than 100 people to "surrender", Park Yuanzong and Tang Yin were still outside the palace gate.

"That villain also came to surrender?" Park Yuanzong was also angrily when he mentioned Liu Ziguang, as if he wanted to peel Liu Ziguang alive.

In the previous Wuwu scholar disaster, Liu Ziguang, as Li's sycophant, killed many scholars. Of course, Park Yuanzong himself did not belong to the scholarly side, and even if he hated it, it did not reach the point where he could not coexist.

Tang Yin said: "Anyone who surrenders is acceptable! Don't blame the past!"

"That……"

Park Yuanzong wanted to say, if it goes on like this, what should we do if we are counterattacked afterwards?

However, he immediately realized that Daming didn't care what would happen after the event was completed, or even whether it was completed or not, maybe it wasn't the top level of the Ming Dynasty. Tang Yin's death could be used as a reason for Zhang Zhou to send troops to Korea. Why do you care so much?

It is more important than anything else to ensure that Li is deposed and replaced with a new monarch.

"Let him lead the way to capture Lord Yan Shan."

"Catch Lord Yanshan!"

Now that Li is on the side of the coalition forces, he is no longer the leader of North Korea, but just a king.

With Liu Ziguang "persuading" the last force of resistance in the palace, the remaining defenders in the palace either directly defected or disarmed, and then no longer had any strength to fight against the coalition forces.

The commanders of the coalition forces drove straight in and went directly to Li's bedroom.

"People ran away!"

When the allied forces arrived at the palace, they found that apart from a group of Li's concubines and palace people, Li was not even in sight.

Tang Yin then went to the Daejo Hall of Changdeok Palace.

When he saw dozens of women in beautiful clothes and a large sleeping couch, even Tang Yin felt that Mrs. Li was too lewd.

No wonder I, someone from Tang, raised my arms and shouted, and all your courtiers and generals in Hanyang City responded.

"Report... Lord Yanshan appeared at the east gate and was captured by Lord Yunshui's people on the spot! Besides that, there are more than a dozen of his followers..."

At the critical moment, there were only a dozen loyal guards left around Li, and some of them even had no weapons.

Pu Yuanzong said: "Keep watch on the spot! Attack Gyeongbokgung Palace immediately!"

"Report! The guard of Jingfu Palace has opened the palace gate and surrendered!"

"Report... the east of the city has surrendered!"

"Report... the soldiers of the training academy have surrendered."

……

As the battle reports came from everywhere, the remaining resistance forces in Hanyang City were defeated, and most of them acted according to the wind. Seeing that Park Yuanzong had the backing of Ming Dynasty, he also moved out the so-called "big concubine".

In addition, Mr. Yanshan has really been unpopular in the past two years, and he was defeated very quickly.

at dawn.

The turmoil in the city has not completely subsided, and Tang Yin has already left for Jingfu Palace with Pu Yuanzong and Yin Bishang, the minister who led the discussion.

"Shangcha, who should be established as the monarch now?" Pu Yuanzong was very hesitant at this time. He followed Tang Yin, obviously leading the rebellion this time, but he also understood that all of this was based on the intervention of Daming behind the scenes.

Although Tang Yin brought only two hundred Ming soldiers, they became the most important force to take down Changdeokgung.

And now Zhang Zhou's men are still eyeing Liaodong.

Tang Yin said: "Aren't you going to ask Empress Cishun?"

Concubine Cishun is the second queen of Yanshan Jun's father, Chengzong. When Yanshan Jun Li was young, his mother Yin Shi was given to death, but it did not affect Li Shizi's status. Later, Li's various atrocities were also caused by his death Distortion of character caused by mother.

In history, after "Zhongzong anyway", Li Yi, the successor of Zhongzong, was the son of Empress Cishun. At this time, he was the maharaja of Jincheng and was strictly controlled by Li Yi in Hanyang City.

Li Yi was only twelve years old at this time, but when he was eleven years old, he married Shen Shouqin's daughter, Shenshi. This marriage was also arranged by Yan Shanjun. Although Shen Shouqin is Yan Shanjun's best friend, but Li Yi and Shen Shi are very affectionate.

In history, eight days after the success of anyway in the first year of Zhengde, Li Yi had to exile his beloved concubine Shenshi under the pressure of the hero anyway, and never had the chance to meet again in his life.

A group of people walked straight into Gyeongbokgung Palace.

The courtiers of North Korea have just prepared for the early court, and many people have heard of the rebellion last night, but what is the specific situation at Changdeok Palace, whether the rebellion was successful, whether Li is dead or alive, and the ministers waiting for the early court at Gyeongbokgung Palace are all concerned. don't know.

"Huh? Park... Jiedushi?"

Before the Hall of Qinzheng, when the ministers saw Tang Yin walking in front, followed by Pu Yuanzong and Yin Bishang, the ministers seemed to have felt that North Korea had changed.

The three of them entered the Qinzheng Hall, and under the eyes of the ministers, they walked to the position that originally belonged to the king.

Tang Yin stood at the front, and Pu Yuanzong announced: "According to the order of the concubine, Li, the common man, was arrested after ordering the chaos. Now he is under custody in Changdeok Palace. The concubine will decide on the successor of North Korea."

A minister came out and said, "Is it the concubine's decision, or the envoy of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Take it!"

Park Yuanzong is also welcome.

At least half of the people in the court are Yan Shanjun's people. This time, he is like a daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law, and he can finally play wild with these ministers who have been critical of him in every possible way.

Immediately, a soldier came up and held down the person who had spoken earlier.

Just as he was about to be dragged down, when Tang Yin raised his hand, the soldier immediately stopped.

Tang Yindao: "This is your North Korean family matter, Daming shouldn't have been involved, but Li has secretly connected with Jurchen, endangering the stability of the Liaodong area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. Now it is agreed that the successor must be approved by His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Can succeed."

"Doesn't that mean..."

Yin Bishang objected first. As the leading minister, he still has a relatively high right to speak.

Tang Yin glanced over and said: "It may be too late to pass it to the capital, but it is still in time to be handed over to Duke Lai of Liaodong. North Korea's state affairs will be presided over by Pu Yuanzong, the Deputy Marshal of the Liaodong Army appointed by Duke Lai himself. What do you guys think?"

The North Korean ministers present looked at each other in blank dismay.

What are you talking about being hosted by Park Yuanzong... It is basically you, Tang Yin, who will be the host.

Park Yuanzong doesn't listen to you everything?
Then you Tang Yin...wouldn't you have become the founding father of Joseon, the Supreme Regent?
