Chapter 41
Just when the Ming Dynasty was in chaos due to the implementation of tax laws, the Ming army marched straight into the territory of Goryeo and reached the last barrier of Seoul, the Han River branch, and Linjin River.
This river is only more than a hundred miles north of Seoul.
The Ming army camped along the river, with countless camps, and there were no end to see the end. The mountains and fields were filled with the sun and moon battle flags of the Ming Dynasty. After annihilated the main force of Goryeo under the city of Pyongyang, Goryeo had no elite troops who could fight against the Ming army.
Even though there were 40,000 to 50,000 elite troops in the Goryeo King's capital, they could summon more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Goryeo, but facing the Ming army, they had to choose to retreat. The most important thing is that in the battle of Pyongyang, Goryeo defeated all the cavalry in his hands. Now near Seoul, all the men of the Ming Dynasty were whistling and galloping.
Zhu Yunxiu stayed on the banks of the Ma River, watching the rippling river waves, and then looking at the mountains and fields, full of agile Ming men, couldn't help but feel a little excited.
This river is surrounded by Jin, from north to south, running through Goryeo, and is also magnificent. But in the hearts of others, there is no impression. In his heart, it has a different meaning.
In the great war in later generations where the Chinese people stood up, the brave Chinese soldiers captured Seoul along this river.
Then, under the enemy's powerful artillery fire, Seoul changed hands several times. However, the brave Chinese people fought against the enemy's planes and giant cannons countless times and continued to rush forward along the river.
The great Chinese people made the arrogant MacArthur shout out the slogan of the life-and-death front of the coalition forces and never give in.
The Chinese children charged and fought again and again along this river until they were completely broken, and the enemy's intention to use Seoul as the base to reorganize their troops.
It even made the arrogant and dominant enemy realize that the children of China in front of us are no longer at the mercy of others. In the past, the era when one warship and a few cannons could make us lose power and humiliate our country, cede land and pay compensation, and begged by them has already passed.
They couldn't fight anymore, and not only did they dare not fight anymore, but they also had to sign on the negotiating table and stamp the ceasefire agreement.
After a hundred years of blood and tears, the Chinese people exchanged blood and life for the entire country and the entire nation.
It even makes those foreigners dare not offend half an inch of my country again!
Who dares to say that we are the sick men of East Asia again, taste our bayonets!
However, that kind of heroism, that kind of sacrifice, and all kinds of things are bright red, the passion of the Chinese people!
The war horse was free and walked to the riverside, leaned down, drank the clear river water, and his eyes were a little red.
In this life, this place will no longer be a battlefield for the children of China and the bloodshed. It will only become a paradise!
Your Highness! Fu Rang, the commander of the personal guard, jogged behind Zhu Yunxi and said softly that there were a rich man from Goryeo to join us!
The Ming army went south all the way. Seeing that the Li family's Goryeo was out of reach, the rich families of Goryeo came to work hard to express their intention of surrender. The Goryeo gentry and people really looked like welcoming the royal army.
Li Jinglong! Zhu Yunxiu still looked at Jiangshui and said lightly.
I am here! Li Jinglong trotted over and said with a smile, What are your instructions?
You go and please comfort me with kind words. However, tell them that the king's army is expensive and they should also show filial piety! Zhu Yunxi smiled and let them know that Daming's father is not so easy to recognize!
Li Jinglong patted his chest and agreed, Your Highness, don’t worry, I know the right measure!
Fu Rang's face was a little strange and continued to speak. Your Highness, not only did the rich families of Goryeo, but also several people claiming to be descendants of the original Goryeo royal family, so I would like to see you!
The country's reign began with King Jian of Goryeo, and it lasted for hundreds of years, with many descendants. Although it was replaced by Li Chenggui, it still had a large number of supporters in the country. After the Li family came to power, they even slaughtered the descendants of the King's family of Goryeo.
However, Zhu Yunqiu had no good impression of the Wang family at all.
During the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, King Goryeo was the dog of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Not only did he want to marry the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, but the princes of all generations also had to join the capital as protons and serve as guards for the Mongolian Yuan royal family.
When the world was not unified, King Goryeo not only sent troops directly to help the Mongolian Yuan suppress all the rebels in the Central Plains, but also sent troops to obstruct them when the Ming Dynasty went north.
But, the Wang family can still take it out and use it as a chastity arch.
Everyone asked Duke Cao to see him! Zhu Yunxiu said in contemplation that he could not see him as soon as he wanted!
Your Highness is talking about it! Li Jinglong smiled and said, "What is your Highness's identity?" I am not in a hurry to see them, let's talk about it!"
Anyway, you will do all these things. When will you see them and what you say, you can do it yourself! Zhu Yunxiu pulled down the reins, and the horse's hooves brought some splashes. There was only one lonely one, so that they could convince them!
While the few were talking, Zhu Di, Lan Yu, Fu Youde, Wang Bi and others dismounted from a distance and strode over.
Your Highness, I have explored the truth!
Wang Bi first spoke, "I took the scouts and surveyed the surrounding hundreds of miles. The Goryeo capital was strong and clear, and the city gates were blocked with stones."
Fu Youde also spoke, I heard that there are more than 50,000 soldiers and 100,000 people in the Goryeo King’s capital. It seems that the Goryeo Li family intends to defend the city!
Zhu Yunxiu's expression was a little solemn. War does not necessarily depend on the opponent's strength. Seoul is the base camp of the Li family. If he really defended his life and occupied the right time and place, he was afraid that the Ming army would not suffer small casualties.
Your Highness wants to send someone to persuade him to surrender? Fu Youde paused and continued to ask.
No! Zhu Yunxiu said it firmly, this battle will surely destroy the city!
Yes! Zhu Di laughed loudly, the battle to destroy the country is right in front of him, and if he doesn’t destroy the city, what is the destruction of the country!
Report!
Just as Zhu Yunxi was about to speak, another personal guard came quickly.
Your Highness, King Goryeo sent an envoy to seek peace, holding the seal of the national letter and asking for a visit outside the camp! The personal soldiers knelt on the ground and made a speech.
Duke Cao! Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand impatiently, go! After that, he jumped off his horse and pulled Lan Yu and others to the side. Come on, and the few people told the Gu about the city defense of Seoul. Let’s study how to fight!
Seeing Zhu Yunxiu let him meet the Goryeo envoy, Li Jinglong felt a little disappointed. The war of destruction was about to be imminent, so he had no intention of meeting those Goryeo envoys.
But after thinking about it, Your Highness loves me!
When Koreans seek peace, gold and silver are bound to be indispensable. If I go to see you, why don’t you leave behind some!
So, Li Jinglong smiled and led his personal soldiers back to the camp.
Entering the camp, Li Jinglong ordered people to polish his armor and sit upright in the tent. After a while, a dejected envoy from Goryeo, bowed his head and came in under the cold eyes of his personal soldiers.
When Li Jinglong saw it, he couldn't help but smile. The person who came was still an acquaintance. In the capital that day, the Goryeo minister, Park Bancheng, who had given him a gold ticket.
The latter obviously recognized Li Jinglong and showed a hint of joy on his face. Park Bancheng, the minister of the small country, met the Duke of the Celestial Dynasty!
As he said that, he was just a big gift and kneeling down humbly.
Lao Pu, it’s you! Li Jinglong smiled slightly, but didn’t support the other person. He sat down and said, “We are old friends, you can get up and speak well! As he said, he smiled again. Although you are a Korean, in my heart, you are also a person who knows etiquette. That’s right, your name is not good!
Park Bancheng! Li Jinglong had already laughed out loud, Bancheng? What good kidney do you have?
It was obviously making fun of him, but the latter was not annoyed. Instead, he said seriously that his body, hair, skin, and the name was given by his parents, and the officials dared not speak nonsense! As he said that, he looked up at Li Jinglong's face. Just like Goryeo and the Ming Dynasty, small countries regard big countries as their parents. Goryeo made mistakes and the Ming Dynasty punished them as their own.
Well! You understand something! A filial son appears under the stick! Li Jinglong nodded and said.
However, even if parents hate their children to the core, they will not hurt their lives! Park Bancheng knelt down again and said, "Goryeo was wrong. The Ming Dynasty took action to punish them, which was the love and education of the Celestial Empire. Now the small country has known its mistake. Please ask the Celestial Empire to show its strength. Don't really hurt Goryeo's life!
As he said, he kowtowed heavily. From then on, Goryeo would never dare to be a rebellious son who disobeyed the Heavenly Dynasty, so he could only serve him wholeheartedly! Duke Cao, you are a noble relative of the Heavenly Dynasty and an important minister around the crown prince. Please mediate on your behalf. Goryeo will be grateful!
Alas! Li Jinglong sighed, what have you done long ago! I only realized that I was wrong now, don’t you think it’s too late? The 500,000 army is already at the city, and the arrow is drawn without turning back. Just go back like this, where do you put the face of the crown prince?
Pu Bancheng seemed to hear the implication and quickly said that when the subordinates left the city, the king had an explanation. He asked Duke Cao to submit his words to the Grand Prince. Goryeo wished to serve the Ming Dynasty as his father, and Goryeo will always be the son of the Ming Dynasty for generations!
It's not easy to deal with! Li Jinglong shook his head and held his chin and said, "I believe your heart, but do others believe it?" Do you know how many people came to beat you, Goryeo? Lan Yu came, Fu Youde, Wang Bi, Cao Zhen.......... The dukes came several times, and the marquis had more than a dozen.
Don't tell me that you don't know these people. I don't believe that you, a person who has been on mission to the Ming Dynasty, have never recited the heroic chart of my Ming Dynasty. Now that you see the city is about to break through, you are staring at these military achievements? Besides, there are still those real money and silver.........
The Goryeo Treasury is offered in all! Pu Bancheng shouted loudly, as long as the crown prince forgives Goryeo's crimes, Goryeo is willing to take out all the gold, silver and treasures and present them to the Ming Dynasty!
The heart is sincere! Li Jinglong helped the other party up, but as the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, I cannot depose my public for personal gain! I have so many eyes to look at it, how can I speak for you!
Xiaguan brought ten carts of gold and sand, and a piece of gold on the head! Park Bancheng whispered, it was originally a gift from the army, but now Quanxian was with Duke Cao. If Duke Cao was willing to speak for help, Xiaguan ordered people to return to the city, report to the king, then open the national treasury, and transport them all out of the city and transport them to the army as a plea!!
As long as Duke Cao turns over to His Royal Highness the Emperor, Goryeo will regret it, please tell a few good things to help Goryeo. Even if it is a marriage alliance under the city or a father-son agreement, Goryeo will recognize it!
Doghead gold?
Li Jinglong's eyes lit up and said, "This is not good!" No, now that the two countries are fighting, what's the matter with you!"
As he said that, his heart suddenly stumbled.
Almost got into trouble!
Li Jinglong woke up in his heart. The crown prince told him to see these Goryeo people, but he didn't ask him to collect money. If he really took it, he would probably have a great disaster.
Besides, after the treasury of Goryeo was broken, it was not all from the Ming Dynasty? How could Taisun Rende have lost his own share!
At that moment, he said angrily, "Who are you treating me as a man? I just want the army to withdraw my troops. Is it really a delusion? I will take the treasury there, and my Ming Dynasty King's Army will take it. I want you to send it?"
Park Bancheng was stunned on the spot. He never thought that Li Jinglong's zodiac sign would turn against him.
Duke Cao, the subordinates are sincerely asking each other, and Goryeo will never dare to forget your great kindness. Park Bancheng cried and said, "I, King Goryeo, are willing to call the Ming Dynasty a father for generations, only seeking the kindness of the Celestial Empire, so that the ancient city of Seoul will be spared from the disaster of war!"
The gold I got flew away!
Li Jinglong was angry and became more impatient. He said, "It's okay to surrender." Let you King Goryeo, take all the royal family out of the city bare-chested, present the national book map, and kneel down and ask for surrender!"
Park Bancheng gritted his teeth and said, Duke Cao, is the Ming Dynasty really going to destroy Goryeo? There are still 100,000 soldiers in the city that can fight, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. If they really fight, the Ming Dynasty will only increase casualties!
Scar me!
Li Jinglong was furious. Seeing you, I really don’t cry until I see the coffin!
Park Bancheng regretted it after he finished speaking and hurriedly slapped himself in the face. The official said that...
Li Jinglong did not listen to his defense and said loudly, "Come on, bring the things!"
In an instant, a wooden box was sent in.
Chapter completed!
