Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 298 Destruction of the country in March

In the heart of the King of Goryeo, their great Goryeo Kingdom was invincible. You must know that it was an army of 100,000.

Even if there are 100,000 steamed buns, I can’t finish them all at once.

Therefore, the King of Goryeo believed that it was Li Chenggui's incompetence that led to their defeat, and that the good man of Goryeo died in vain. The general was incompetent and the three armies were exhausted!

The powerful minister Cui Ying also encouraged the King of Korea to convict the two men and ask them to hand over their military power and immediately return to Kyoto to accept their crimes.

For Cui Ying, it would be great if Li Chenggui could capture Liaodong. Even if he could not, in the worst case scenario, like now, he would be able to get rid of his biggest rival in the court. As for the Ming Dynasty, he thought that as long as he paid more compensation, he would be able to calm the other party's anger. Therefore, Cui Ying had never worried about this.

The King of Goryeo was arrogant and arrogant. Cui Ying captured this mentality and naturally listened to and believed in Cui Ying's suggestions.

As for what crime he had committed, all the Korean civil and military officials present in the main hall knew clearly.

Of course it's a capital crime!

The King of Goryeo immediately sent someone to convey the decree.

However, they had no idea that Li Chenggui had already turned against him at this time.

The official who delivered the decree had just entered Li Chenggui's camp and was about to announce the decree when he was hacked to death by swordsmen on both sides.

Li Chenggui, under the slogan of "clearing the emperor and punishing the sycophants," led the army and fought all the way to Kaijing.

Li Chenggui already had a lot of prestige in the Korean army, and he was also very clear about the defense deployment in various places.

As a result, he made great progress all the way and became unstoppable.

Li Chenggui's judgment was very accurate. He did not have the strength to defeat the Ming army, but he had great strength to defeat the Goryeo army.

After getting the news, the King of Goryeo urgently mobilized troops and returned to defend the capital. He gathered together and captured a lot of strong men, and finally gathered more than 50,000 troops.

Li Chenggui fought all the way to the front of Kaijing City. It was only at this time that Li Chenggui's army stopped for the first time in the face of the 50,000 defenders of Kaijing.

the other side.

Li Wenzhong and Zhu Fan led the Ming Dynasty King's Division and headed all the way to Kaijing. However, they found that the cities along the way had just been conquered. This meant that their Ming army had captured these cities without any effort. of control.

Li Wenzhong and others, with doubts in their hearts, urged the army to move quickly.

Finally, the reason was found in front of Kaeongseong, the capital of Goryeo.

Seeing the stalemate between Li Chengjun's army and the Goryeo imperial army, it was obvious that those cities along the way were conquered by Li Chenggui's army.

The situation is understood now, but Li Wenzhong and the others still don't know the reason.

On the other side, Li Chenggui heard the spies' report that the Ming Dynasty King's Division had already reached the capital.

Li Chenggui looked up at the tall Kaijing city wall in the distance, his eyes full of unwillingness. His face suddenly became ferocious, and blue veins popped out on his forehead.

After a while.

Li Chenggui breathed out slowly and his expression returned to normal.

After all, it was still a step too slow.

Originally, according to Li Chenggui's plan, he planned to attack the capital, kill the powerful official Cui Ying, and then enter the palace to force the King of Korea to abdicate!

Li Chenggui will be the new king of Goryeo.

Then after he successfully ascended the throne, he immediately wrote a letter of credence begging the Ming Dynasty for forgiveness.

Inform the emperor of the Ming Dynasty that Wang Yu, the former king of the Goryeo Dynasty who did not know whether to live or die, has been captured by him, and then sent to Jinling of the Ming Dynasty for punishment.

The Goryeo Dynasty was willing to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty in the future and pay tribute every year.

Li Chenggui had already thought about increasing the gold and silver tribute to three times the number originally proposed by Ming Dynasty. He believed that Ming Dynasty would never refuse this figure.

Original time and space, history.

Goryeo King Wang You also launched a unilateral war against the Ming Dynasty.

Li Chenggui is relatively calm-minded. The Ming Dynasty was so big and Goryeo was so small. How could he defeat them?

On the Zhengming Road, it was the rainy season, the rain was falling, the road was muddy, and logistics was difficult.

Therefore, Li Chenggui asked for instructions to withdraw his troops several times, but Li Chenggui's claims were rejected by the court.

Li Chenggui in the original time and space did not choose to attack Tieling. With 50,000 troops in hand, he directly decided to launch a "military remonstrance".

In this way, Li Chenggui decisively changed his focus and counterattacked the country. He captured Gaijing, the capital of Goryeo (today's Kaesong, North Korea), imprisoned the powerful minister Cui Ying, deposed Wang Yu, monopolized power, and established a new Li Dynasty.

After Li Chenggui ascended the throne, he immediately expressed his respect and obedience to the Ming Dynasty, saying that the most important thing for the Ming Dynasty was to serve his father, and he also asked Zhu Yuanzhang to give his new dynasty a new name. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The most beautiful name for Dongyi is North Korea, and since it came from a far distance, it is better to change the name of its country to North Korea." At this point, "North Korea" became the name of the country on the peninsula, and it was known as "Lee's North Korea" in history.

If it develops normally, it is really possible for him to do it.

Unfortunately, in this life.

Ming Dynasty came to Korea.

Li Chenggui, who was not favored by the god of fate, could only accept his fate.

A smile appeared on his face again, and he began to turn the horse's head and headed towards the Ming army camp.

Since he cannot be the new king of Goryeo, he must at least be a minister of the Dragon.

Even if the Ming Dynasty wanted to rule Koryo, it would still need people who were familiar with the local conditions of Koryo in such a short period of time.

After learning of his intention, Li Wenzhong met with Li Chenggui.

Li Chenggui got straight to the point and directly expressed his willingness to surrender.

And the good deeds he did in Tieling City had an effect now.

Moreover, Li Chenggui's counterattack on Kaijing did save Ming a lot of effort.

Muskets and artillery fired not only shells and bullets, but also white money.

Li Wenzhong agreed.

Originally, Li Wenzhong's troops were in a stalemate with the Goryeo garrison at Kaijing. Now that the Ming Dynasty King's Division has joined the battlefield, the situation is completely different.

The power of Hongwu artillery and Hongwu rifles allowed these Korean soldiers who opened the capital to see what real firearms were.

On the city wall, large shields were erected.

The defenders hiding behind were almost falling into despair when faced with the rumbling artillery fire.

"What can we do? We have clearly offended someone we shouldn't offend. How can we fight against the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's master?"

For them, Li Chenggui's rebels could still fight a dozen.

But let them face the Ming Dynasty's terrifying artillery and rifles. At this time, they didn't even have the courage to fight head-on. They could only passively put their large shields against the city wall to strengthen their defense.

The combat capabilities of these defenders in Kaijing City were inferior to those of Li Chenggui's soldiers.

This time, Li Wenzhong and the others didn't even need any strategy at all.

He slowly pushed several Hongwu cannons to the gate of Kaijing City.

Not worried at all, the defenders on the city wall suddenly counterattacked with bows and arrows, because those guys were already frightened out of their wits.

"Fire!" At Zhu Fan's order, the artillery aimed at the city gate fired.

With the terrifying power of the improved Hongwu artillery, the city gate was bombed and shattered.

Behind the city gate, the Korean soldiers who were standing there as usual were also blown to pieces.

The city is broken and the army marches straight in!

Zhu Fan shouted loudly: "Everyone in the capital is listening! Anyone who puts down his swords and weapons now will be regarded as surrender. We will not take any blame. The guilty person today is your king!"

The loud voice resounded over Kaijing City.

At this time, Li Chenggui also played his role. He shouted loudly: "Wang Yu listened to the slanderous words of the traitor, attacked the Kingdom of Heaven, and abandoned the lives of our Goryeo people. Such a king is worthy of your life." ?!"

These words really had an effect.

Many Goryeo defenders began to surrender. Once the atmosphere of surrender was formed, it would quickly spread.

As the Goryeo soldiers put down their weapons one by one, Ming Dynasty took some to open the gate of the capital with almost no bloodshed.

Then, Li Wenzhong and Zhu Fan led their army and fought all the way from the city to the palace.

Within the palace.

The King of Korea was completely stunned after receiving the news that the capital city had been destroyed. It was only then that he had a real sense of the power of the Ming Dynasty.

The original arrogance and arrogance were long gone, and all that was left was the fear of this emperor's master.

After coming back to his senses, the King of Korea's first reaction was to run away.

Even if Kaijing is breached, Goryeo still has half of its country. As long as it can escape today, there may not be no chance of a comeback in the future.

The King of Goryeo shouted for Cui Ying, but Cui Ying was nowhere to be seen at this time.

His good father-in-law, the powerful minister Cui Ying, had already been one step ahead of him and escaped.

In the end, the few eunuchs and eunuchs around him were loyal.

But the King of Goryeo was about to escape, and as soon as he left the palace with a few chamberlains, he was stopped by several ministers and a group of guards who had been waiting here for a long time. They were tied up with ropes and sent to the Goryeo Palace on the way. In front of Li Wenzhong and Zhu Fan who were walking in the opposite direction.

These ministers rebelled at this time, naturally to save their own lives.

Seeing the King of Korea with his hair disheveled and his body tied up in front of him, Zhu Fan had a playful smile on his face.

Zhu Fan looked at the ministers and said, "As ministers of the Koryo Kingdom, you are now binding your king."

The ministers of the Kingdom of Koryo quickly knelt on the ground, and then began to enumerate the various crimes of the King of Koryo.

The biggest sin among them, needless to say, is to offend the Heavenly Kingdom.

Then he began to say that they had tried their best to dissuade him at that time, but the King of Goryeo insisted on having his own way, and they had no choice.

Throughout the entire process, the King of Goryeo stared with extremely angry eyes at the few courtiers in front of him who once humbled and flattered him. You must know that some of them were even promoted from their humble beginnings by him.

The angry King of Korea couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly.

Some of them showed some guilty conscience, but more people were full of "righteousness" and continued to bite.

Zhu Fan naturally knew in his heart that what some of the Goryeo ministers said was not true, but he just liked to watch this wonderful drama between kings and ministers.

I enjoy it very much inside.

Regarding these Goryeo ministers, Zhu Fan will not kill them in a short time. They are still needed in many places in Goryeo that have just been captured.

The imperial capital of Kaijing was conquered, and the morale of the Goryeo army was long gone.

The remaining cities were broken without attack, and Cui Ying was recaptured and finally executed directly.

Li Wenzhong and Zhu Fan succeeded in the first battle. In three months, they successfully destroyed the country and included it in the territory of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Zhu Fan stayed in Korea directly in accordance with the decree and began to reorganize his future fiefdom.

Li Wenzhong escorted the former King of Goryeo back to the court.

Yangzhou.

Yang Xian got the news immediately, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Is the arrogance of the Korean people engraved in their genes? How can it be a virtue from ancient times to the present? If the King of Korea had known that it would be this result, no I wonder if he still has the courage to attack Ming Dynasty."

In later generations, the Korean people had a special habit of saying that their own things were the best in the world. Whether it's movies, music, sports, or technology, they always feel that they are the best and others are imitating them. They even said that China's Confucius, the Dragon Boat Festival, and Chinese characters were all invented by them, and that they were the source of Chinese civilization. This arrogant mentality makes many people feel incredible.

But if you analyze it carefully, you can find that this kind of mentality is actually a manifestation of inferiority and uneasiness.

It is actually a very interesting thing for China's two neighbors to study the reasons behind the current mentality of their people.

Yang Xian liked doing this very much before he traveled through time.

The king of a country was captured and sent to other countries as a prisoner.

The greatest shame in the world is nothing more than this.

The news quickly spread through newspapers in all states and counties throughout the Ming Dynasty, and became a topic of conversation for people after dinner.

When the former King of Goryeo was being escorted to the capital, many people came over to watch, all pointing and pointing.

Although the common people could only watch the escorting team from a distance and could not see the King of Korea himself, they still felt relieved and kept laughing.

Even a small country that dares to challenge the authority of the Ming Dynasty is simply desperate.

A sense of national pride and honor arose spontaneously in the hearts of the people.

Beijing.

Royal Palace, Fengtian Hall.

The King of Goryeo, Wang You, was escorted to the main hall in a state of embarrassment, wearing a prison uniform, and knelt on the cold ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair, looking down at the embarrassed King of Korea below, and he could only shake his head, feeling extremely funny.

What kind of leader of a country is this? He is clearly a clown who does not know how to live or die.

A guy like this dares to reach out to Liaodong.

Who gave him the courage?

The civil and military officials in the dynasty looked coldly at each other.

Wang Yu, who felt the majesty of the kingdom, lay on the ground, trembling.

Along the way, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Especially after seeing the rail train, he kept muttering something in a low voice, as if he was going crazy.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he was pitiful and did not take his life. Instead, he was placed under house arrest in a house in the royal manor outside the capital, and he was under surveillance.

The outcome was to be placed under house arrest for a lifetime and die of old age in a foreign country.

The war against Goryeo was a complete victory.

For a time, the atmosphere among generals seeking battle was unprecedentedly high. (End of chapter)
