Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 211 Zhu Di Wants the Whole Korea

"Your Highness!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xing walked in with a face full of anger.

Zhu Di asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xingdao: "His Royal Highness, at the end of the day, I learned that the king of Koli, Wang Yu, had turned his back a few days ago, and ordered people to kill 21 people from our Daming officials and detain five people.

Moreover, summon the soldiers of the Eight Paths in the north, known as an army of [-], to attack Liaodong! "

The expressions of Wang Yu and the high-ranking ministers of Korea suddenly changed drastically.

"How brave!"

Zhu Di's face turned cold, and he stared at Wang Xuan, "This king still underestimated the treachery of you, the King of Korea. I, Da Ming, have treated you so favorably to the country of Korea, and you are still thinking of rebelling against me, Da Ming!"

Wang Yu stopped pretending, and said in a low voice, "The Tieling Mountains have been our Koryo territory since ancient times. His Majesty the Emperor of Ming asked for Tieling with just one imperial decree. How can we convince Koryo?"

Zhu Di said coldly: "Tieling is the territory of the old Yuan Dynasty. Since it was captured by our Ming Dynasty, it is our territory. When did it become your Koryo territory?"

Wang Xuan said again: "The north of Tieling, since the ancestors of the Koryo Kingdom, has been my Koryo territory, but it was taken away by the Northern Yuan thieves..."

"Tsk, what a shameless King of Korea!"

Guo An sneered, "I remember that the northern part of Tieling and the east and west have been our territory in the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty belonged to Xuantu County, and the Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to Lelang County, but they were later invaded by Goguryeo. But in the Tang Dynasty, it was taken back by the Tang Dynasty...

Later, with the rise of the Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, Tieling gradually lost... When did Tieling become your territory in Koryo? "

Wang Xuan: "..."

Zhu Di ignored Wang Xuan, but looked directly at Zhang Xing, and asked, "Do you know who are the Korean generals who went to lead troops to attack Liaodong?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it is the Korean ministers Cui Ying, Li Chenggui, and Cao Minxiu who are the main generals!"

Zhang Xing immediately replied, "However, the general heard that among the three, Cui Ying insisted on sending troops, while Li Chenggui and Cao Minxiu were unwilling to send troops!"

Zhu Di said in a sinister tone, "Go and confiscate that Cui Ying's house, and take down all his clan members! If anyone dares to resist, they will be shot!"

"Here!"

"In addition, send someone to lock up the family members of Li Chenggui and Cao Minxiu, but there is no need to make things difficult!"

"Here!"

Zhang Xing followed the order and left.

Zhu Di looked at Wang Xuan and the Korean ministers at the side again, "Wait for a few people to come out, follow our generals, persuade all the soldiers in the city to surrender, and confiscate all their armor and weapons!  …

If you don't follow suit, your family will be ransacked and your family will be wiped out! "

Wang Xuan and all the dignitaries in Korea subconsciously shuddered and responded repeatedly.

In less than an hour, the entire capital of King Goryeo was under the control of the Yanshan Guard army.

At the same time, there was also a faint smell of blood in the capital of Koryo.

Perhaps there are still some people who will hide in the dark, but there is no threat.

That night, Zhu Di, Guo An and others stayed overnight in the royal palace of Korea.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhu Di selected two officials with different surnames from among the dignitaries in Goryeo, and asked them to go to Pyongyang with the credentials of the King of Goryeo, and ordered Cui Ying, Li Chenggui, Cao Minxiu and others to return and surrender.

Of course, the letter of credence was drafted by Zhu Di ordered the Minister of Korea, and Zhu Di personally affixed the seal of the King of Korea.

Last night, when I heard that the villain of the King of Korea sent troops to attack Liaodong, the nature of this matter has changed.

Afterwards, Zhu Di asked a group of Korean ministers to write a few letters again, affixed the seal of the King of Korea, and those servants took the letters to the surrounding cities.

The king of Koryo, Wang Yu, has surrendered, and all city officials must surrender to Daming King Yan!
"Guo Qing, how useful are these letters?"

Seeing the letters being sent out one after another, Zhu Di asked slowly.

Originally, he came here this time with only more than 1 Yanshan guards, and his purpose was very simple.

He gave the King of Korea Wang Yu a hard lesson, and then took back the 23 taels of silver that the King of Korea owed him.

By the way, let the King of Koryo compensate him with a city in King Yan's Mansion, a city that only belongs to him King Yan.

However, he did not expect that the king of Koryo, Wang Xuan, would be so bold that he would let his left and right prime ministers lead an army of [-] to attack Liaodong.

As a result, his capital was empty, and even the surrounding cities were also empty. After he was allowed to go ashore, he did not encounter any resistance at all, and went all the way directly to the capital of Koryo.

Then, in front of the king of Korea, Wang Xuan, have a meal outside the city.

He sent a few scholars to curse at the King of Koryo, and the King of Koryo couldn't wait to open the city gate, and sent troops out of the city to attack him.

Then, the army of the king of Koryo was so careless. Instead, he let the army of the king of Yan, Wei, directly follow the wide-open city gate and attack the king's capital of Koryo.

In less than a day, the Goryeo Wangjing was captured, and even the Goryeo King Wang Xuan, as well as all the Goryeo ministers and dignitaries were captured by him.

In this way, as long as he has [-] more soldiers in Zhu Di's hands, no, [-] more soldiers and horses, he is sure that he can occupy the Koryo capital.

But now, he only has [-] soldiers and horses in his hands.

Zhu Di was extremely distressed!

Guo An also had the same idea as Zhu Di. Now their Ten Thousand Yanshan Guards can hold down the entire Koryo capital, so that the Koryo soldiers will not dare to move, all because of the shock of bombs such as incendiary bombs and landmines.

If Cui Ying, Li Chenggui and other important Korean ministers who went out with an army of [-] return, there will probably be another big battle.

Guo An sighed softly, and said: "Your Highness, I found out that the relationship between these dignitaries in Korea and the King of Korea is much more complicated than what I guessed when I was in Beiping.

Although these dignitaries seem to respect the Koryo royal family on the surface.

However, in private, many dignitaries treated the King of Korea as obsequious and obedient, and only cared about their own interests.

Just like that Cui Ying, their Cui family is a family of powerful ministers. Many years ago, they emptied the king of Goryeo and controlled the government of Goryeo for nearly a hundred years.

In recent years, the king of Goryeo has gradually had some say in Goryeo..."

"As for the officials in the surrounding Goryeo city, many of them are members of the great powers of Goryeo, and they have been working together to weaken the power of the Goryeo royal family..."

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

"Guo Qing means that as long as we don't attack the surrounding cities, the officials in those cities will not want to come to serve the king.

And the letters we sent to them are to give them a legitimate reason, so that they don't have to send troops to serve the king! "

"Your Highness is wise."

Guo An nodded slightly, "Actually, after my army invaded the Koryo capital, the Koryo officials in the nearby cities should have no reason to send troops!"

"These thieves!"

Zhu Di cursed angrily.

Guo An: "..."

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An, and asked again: "How can Guo Qing defend the capital of Korea?"

Guo An said without hesitation: "Back to Your Highness, as long as there are [-] more troops in His Highness's hands, the Koryo Wangjing can be firmly held in His Highness's hands!"

Zhu Di said: "If we can firmly control the king of Koryo, Wang Xuan, and let him command the entire Koryo city, is that okay?"

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, I am worried that many nobles in Koryo secretly did not obey the government orders of the King of Koryo, Wang Yu.

Now that the King of Korea, Wang Yu, has descended to His Highness, those nobles in Korea will use this as an excuse to treat His Highness in a positive way! "

Zhu Di was a little unwilling and said: "Could it be possible that we must all ask Father to send troops for reinforcements?"

Guo An thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness, let the king of Koryo, Wang Xuan, issue a letter of apology. He has governed the entire Koryo country in a mess, and I, Prince Yan's mansion, will help him manage the Koryo country.

Then, His Highness used profit as a lure, so that all the dignitaries of the Goryeo Kingdom gradually let go of their guard against His Highness.

At the same time, find a few cronies from Korea, use them as internal support, and gradually gain the trust of the people in Korea...

As long as His Highness's military strength can deter those Goryeo dignitaries and at the same time bring them benefits, those Goryeo dignitaries will naturally not turn against His Highness easily! "

"What Guo Qing said makes sense..."

Zhu Di was a little thoughtful.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, Zhu Liang came in from outside the hall.

Zhu Di asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Liang said with a strange expression: "His Royal Highness, there is a king of the Koryo State Palace outside the palace asking to see His Highness!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, both Zhu Di and Guo An couldn't help being curious.

"Bring him in!"

Now, the nobles of the entire King of Koryo, ignorant of Zhu Di and Guo An's intentions, regard Zhu Di and Guo An and other Ming soldiers as wild beasts, and it is too late to hide, and now a government official came to the door in person.

"Yes!"

Zhu Liang responded and walked out quickly.

Soon, Zhu Liang walked in with a burly man.

"Ok?"

Seeing this person's No.1, both Zhu Di and Guo An subconsciously squinted their eyes.

"Yesterday I led troops out of the city to attack the chief general of my king's army, but you?"

"How did Your Highness know?"

Bian Anlie was startled, and asked curiously.

"Han people?"

Hearing Bian Anlie's words, Zhu Di and Guo An frowned again.

Bian Anlie replied respectfully: "Returning to His Royal Highness King Yan, the general is indeed a Han Chinese. He was originally from Shenyang. The elders in his family were officials in the Yuan Dynasty. He will come to Korea as the dowry attendant of Princess Lu!"

Zhu Di asked again: "What's your name, and where is your official position in Korea now?"

Bian Anlie hurriedly replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the last general's name is Bian Anlie, and now he is the third chief officer, formerly the lord of Chuanfu."

The third secretary is also an important official position, which proves that Bian Anlie is not a flatterer.

Afterwards, Zhu Di put away the contempt in his heart and asked, "You came to look for this king, but what's the matter?"

Without even thinking about it, Bian Anlie said directly: "The last general wants to serve His Highness!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di smiled faintly, "As the majestic ruler of Gaoli Yuanchuan Prefecture, why do you want to submit to this king?"

Bian Anlie said: "Your Highness, although the general is now the ruler of the Gaoli Mansion, he is still a Han Chinese at heart, and he also wants to revitalize the family of the general...

Moreover, at the end of yesterday, the general led an army of [-] out of the city, and witnessed with his own eyes the power of the firearms in His Highness's army.

Now, His Highness has captured the King of Goryeo, Wang Xuan, so His Highness will never give up on Goryeo easily... However, His Highness only has more than 1 soldiers under his command, which can deter all the nobles in Goryeo, but cannot completely control them. The last general will have a great effect on His Highness.

Presumably, His Highness also saw it yesterday. Although the last general is the ruler of the Goryeo Mansion, the nobles of Goryeo do not accept the last general. In the army, questioning the last general..."

Guo An asked: "Since you are not accepted by the nobles in Korea, how can you help His Highness King Yan?"
