Qiming 1158

Chapter 1438 High-class people are high-class people wherever they go
In two months, the Ming Kingdom successfully solved the current frontier problems and the future frontier problems.

The country's northern Xinjiang is unprecedentedly stable. In the foreseeable future, there will be no large-scale military operations in the northern Xinjiang region.

And this also created a stable enough premise for the use of troops on the east and west lines in the future.

On this basis, the Goryeo campaign that Su Yonglin was planning to launch after Hongwu's tenth year of spring would not affect the overall situation.

Relying on the production and construction of the two major provinces of Liaoyang and Heilongjiang and the storage of strategic materials for several years, it is enough to complete the crusade and annexation of Korea.

Therefore, in dealing with Goryeo, Su Yonglin did not make any elaborate plans. He just sent an edict to Kaesong, the capital of Goryeo, telling the military generals currently in power to let them give up their resistance and accept the Ming Dynasty. severe punishment of the country.

Now give up resistance to accept the severe punishment of the Ming kingdom, and still get certain conditions for preferential treatment of prisoners, but if they insist on resisting the crusade of the Ming army, they will be the most thorough liquidation.

After usurping Wang Xi and becoming the king of Goryeo, the supreme power of Goryeo was in charge of the three main initiators and organizers of the mutiny, Zheng Zhongfu, Li Yifang and Li Gao. .

Because there are no two suns in the sky and no two masters on the earth, everyone actually wants to be that unique power controller who can do whatever they want.

But in fact, this kind of harmony could not last, because it was only the first month of the three people's cooperation and governance, and a conflicting issue that was difficult to reconcile caused some small disputes between the three.

Li Gao wanted to kill Wang Hao and Wang Hao, become the king of Goryeo himself, and make a complete coup d'etat.

His reason is that if the government of the King of Goryeo is not completely resolved, then once the military regime is unstable in the future, everyone will inevitably encounter a cruel liquidation, and places outside the capital will also have illusions about those who do not obey them, and fight against them. Raising troops under the banner of Emperor Qing's side is definitely not what they want to see.

So, let's just do it all the time, get rid of Wang Hao and Wang Hao together, get rid of the Wang family, and replace them with their own people to be the king, so that no one will liquidate them.

Even if they want to liquidate them, they can't even find someone from the Wang family to continue to be the king of Goryeo. Without this banner of righteousness, how can they liquidate?

This is called solving the problem at the source.

Li Gao was very happy and proud to tell Li Yifang and Zheng Zhongfu of his plan.

Faced with such a rebellious idea, both Li Yifang and Zheng Zhongfu were opposed to it.

In fact, they are more driven by some unavoidable emotions. They feel that what they are doing now is already absurd. Not harming the royal family is the last bottom line for everyone. Back off.

Li Gao agreed on the surface, but secretly felt that Li Yifang and Zheng Zhongfu did not have the courage to do one another without end.

Then his plans were leaked.

Li Yifang and Zheng Zhongfu teamed up to make him, and the Korean government changed from a three-legged confrontation to a two-man side-by-side.

When Su Yonglin's edict was delivered to Kaesong, it was when Li Yifang and Zheng Zhongfu joined hands to rule the government. After the two read Su Yonglin's edict, their faces turned pale, and a feeling of "death or death" came to their hearts, which could not be dissipated for a long time.

The Ming Kingdom is really coming, and the Ming Kingdom is really going to play with them to retaliate, and their plan to hide the sky and cross the sea has failed.

If the Ming Kingdom really came with them, these professional military generals of Koryo absolutely had reason to believe that they could not support them for even a month, and the Ming army would definitely sweep Koryo easily, leaving them dead without a place to die.

But if you surrender...

Can you ensure their safety and the safety of the family?

Can you make sure that they won't be settled by Ming Guoqiu after the fall?

For now, they cannot come to this conclusion.

Zheng Zhongfu and Li Yifang convened high-ranking generals to discuss this matter, and the plan with the highest approval rate was to abandon Goryeo and flee in the direction of Japan, so that the family could be preserved.

Because a few years ago, when the Southern Song Dynasty had not yet perished, many dignitaries or wealthy businessmen in the Southern Song Dynasty were afraid because of the liquidation policy of the Ming Dynasty. They fled to Japan through Goryeo and now live in Japan. It is said that life is not bad.

Someone in power in Japan seemed to appreciate some of them, so he set aside a place for them to live, and appointed some of them as officials, so that they could continue to be powerful.

Therefore, cattle and horses are always cattle and horses, and high-class people are high-class people wherever they go. Even if they are second-class citizens, their lives cannot be imagined by cattle and horses.

Leaving the Ming Kingdom that killed them, these people must be very happy to continue to live their small lives.

Li Yifang and the others had no idea at the time, but now facing the murderous threat from the Ming Kingdom, they immediately thought of this way.

"We can't fight, the Ming army is strong, and there are many terrifying firearms. We are not opponents at all, whether in field battles or in attacking and defending cities, we are not opponents. If you know that you will lose, you should make plans early."

Cai Yuan, one of the heroes of the mutiny, has been afraid of the Ming Kingdom for a long time. He does not think that Goryeo has the possibility of successfully confronting the Ming Kingdom, so he vigorously advocates escape, calling on everyone to flee to Japan to warm up and stay away from Goryeo and the Ming Kingdom.

Japan is alone overseas, and the Ming Kingdom is unlikely to pursue the past. In this way, everyone will be safe. When the time comes, they will ask the powers in Japan to appoint them. Maybe they can get along well and continue to be powerful in Japan.

Zheng Zhongfu was old and lacked courage. He expressed his support for Cai Yuan's idea. He believed that staying in Goryeo against the Ming Kingdom would definitely not end well, so he felt that it was better to run away.

But Li Yifang was in his prime, and there was still a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, and he was greedy for the power he had finally obtained, and he didn't really want to give up resistance, and he was delusional.

"If the Ming army attacked Goryeo, they were not familiar with Goryeo's climate and topography, but we are familiar with Goryeo's climate and topography, and we have a [-]-strong army to fight, why should we give up so quickly? Chao rose up and finally turned over, how long does it take to become a bereaved dog?"

It's hard to say, but that's what it means.

Everyone has been kings for half their lives, and they have finally turned around and called the shots. It has not been a few months before the big boss of East Asia is coming. This is too unbearable.

"We have managed to dominate the government and hold power, but now we have to surrender power without resistance?"

With an excited look on his face, Li Yifang said angrily, "Gorry is a small country, but a small country also has the dignity of a small country, and it cannot be trampled on! My men, if you don't rise up at this time, when will you wait?!"

Not to mention, Li Yifang's resistance attitude really persuaded some people.

These people feel that if they really run away like this, although they can save their lives, they will regret not choosing to resist today in the future.

Others were not persuaded. They believed that Li Yifang was just out of his mind.

What is the difference between fighting against Ming and courting death?
As a representative of this group of people, Zheng Zhongfu completely disagreed with Li Yifang's view.

In this way, the military commander's regime has completed its self-splitting.

Next, they negotiated peacefully and acted on both sides.

Zheng Zhongfu and others are ready to run, they don't want power, they want money and life, they have negotiated with Li Yifang's side, the power belongs to Li Yifang, but they can't stop them from escaping.

Li Yifang wished that this group of people who got in the way quickly got out of the way, so that he could integrate his army and fight against the Ming Kingdom, and by the way, he would become the uncrowned king of Goryeo and do whatever he wanted.

On the other hand, Li Yifang sent an envoy again, carrying a letter written in the name of Wang Hao, which emphasized that although Goryeo is a small country, it has dignity, national character, and determination to defend Goryeo's sovereignty. The country's war blackmailed and retreated.

They yearn for peace, but they are absolutely not afraid of war. If Shangguo insists on going its own way, they must be prepared to taste the taste of failure.

This letter was brought to the Central Capital by the Korean messenger, in the face of Su Yonglin.
