Zhao Han also personally gave instructions on the trial of the Fu'an Church Case, and his tendencies were extremely strong.
The three Dominican missionaries died when they died. Anyway, they had no relatives, received little pension, and deceived the people into forgetting their ancestors. They were the real initiators of this religious rebellion and murder.
Since the real murderer could not be found for the eleven Chinese churchgoers who died, or there were too many murderers and no one knew who killed them, the family members of the deceased were compensated five taels of silver, which was divided equally among the people who participated in the riot. On average, each
Those who participated in the riots need to pay compensation of about 4%, which is more than 30 yuan.
The injured on both sides should consider themselves unlucky and treat themselves.
As the initiator of the riot, the patriarch of the Chen clan, Mrs. Chen, has several sons who are not allowed to be officials, and those who are currently serving as officials are also dismissed from their official positions. However, this does not involve the grandchildren, who can still study and become officials.
In addition, the more than 1,000 people who participated in the riots must serve for two months without pay, that is, as volunteers for the local government.
This case is too special to be tried by ordinary laws, or there is no relevant law.
Nanjing.
Zhao Han received intelligence from Liaodong, and the Qing Dynasty sent 20,000 troops to plunder North Korea. The whole process was overwhelming, and they had already captured Gushan, Huangzhou, and Haizhou in North Korea. The troops were divided into three groups and went straight to Huaiyang and Kaicheng to capture Kaicheng.
The city can reach the capital Seoul.
The Korean monarchs and ministers asked the Datong Army in Liaodong for rescue, and promised to openly secede from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They presented their credentials to Zhao Han in Nanjing and declared themselves vassal.
These guys sent envoys last year to please China while not severing relations with the Manchus. They also wanted to avoid offending anyone on both sides!
Zhao Han called Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, and Tian Younian, and after some discussion, he approved: "Deploy the navy to help, and then dispatch a division from Jinzhou to fight. The money and food spent on the war must be borne by North Korea. If the money and food are not enough, it will be owed to Shou."
Return slowly!"
Liaodong could only mobilize one division because there was really not enough food. They had to wait for the summer grain harvest in the south before enough food and grass could be transported.
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties were similar. They had more than 100,000 Eight Banners troops. Only 20,000 were dispatched to attack North Korea this time. And they were not all regular Eight Banners. There were many soldiers among them. The combat power of these accompanying troops was enough to defeat North Korea.
officers and soldiers.
…
North Korea, Kaesong.
This place, formerly known as Songdo, was the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty. Korean ginseng is a specialty product of the nearby mountainous area.
In the Qing army camp outside the city, Mandahai looked angry. Thousands of Manchu Eight Banners elites were blocked in this city, and hundreds of siege casualties had been incurred!
You know, they killed half of North Korea this time, and their casualties have always been in single digits, but now they have exceeded three digits.
"Go and summon the city again and order the defenders to surrender!" Man Dahai pointed at Li Hao.
When North Korea was defeated and surrendered, all three of the king's sons were taken hostage by the Manchus. The third son has been released, the eldest son died of the plague in Beijing, and the second son Li Hao was seriously ill last year. In the spring, Li Hao's condition improved.
Hao was immediately brought along with the army and ordered the defenders to surrender in the name of the Joseon Crown Prince.
Perhaps they were too ruthless and fought all the way to Kaicheng, but the defenders refused to surrender.
Li Hao knelt in front of Mandahai and said: "Your Highness, I am afraid that I cannot persuade this city to surrender. Kaicheng is the capital of the old Goryeo Dynasty, and there are many nobles and powerful people in the city. In order to protect their property, they must spend money and food to encourage their morale. Unless...
…”
"Unless what?" Mandahai asked.
Li Hao said: "Unless in the name of the leader of North Korea, they are ordered to surrender!"
Man Dahai laughed suddenly: "The king of North Korea? In return for Seoul's detailed work, the kings and ministers of North Korea don't even want the country and have already fled to Ganghwa Island."
Li Hao said: "North Korea can have a new king. If an elite force is sent to escort the minister to Seoul, a new dynasty will be established in Seoul. When the minister arrives, as the leader of Korea, he will order the whole country of Korea to serve.
Provide money and food. There is no need to fight at all. As much as His Highness the Duke wants to take, the Korean people will personally send it to Shengjing."
Mandahai was stunned by this, and after a long time he said contemptuously: "To be the leader of the country, you are really a good dog!"
Li Hao said: "How can the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers be resisted by the weak Korean soldiers? The main reason is that the masters of the Qing Dynasty will be happy, and the Korean monarchs and ministers will be willing to be slaves."
Man Dahai immediately patted his thigh and said: "Okay, I will give you a thousand elites to go to Seoul and become the leader of North Korea!"
The next day.
The Manchus and Qing Dynasties continued to attack the city, and Li Hao led a thousand elite troops around the city and headed straight for the capital, Seoul.
The King of Korea really ran away, and the Qing army had just reached Pyongyang, so he fled with his ministers. He left his third son, Pinglin Prince Li Yao, to guard the city, and appointed his son Li Yao as the Supervisor of North Korea, responsible for leading the country's army to resist foreign invasion.
.
"Open the city gate quickly, I am the crown prince Li Hao!" Li Hao personally went to the city gate and shouted.
Li Yao ordered the defenders to fire arrows and angrily said: "There is no such prince in North Korea. You actually led the enemy troops to rob the country of your parents and ancestors!"
Li Hao was shot and fled quickly. He went back and said to the Qing generals: "This city can only be conquered by intelligence. I am willing to enter the city alone and falsely claim that I betrayed the Qing Dynasty. After defrauding the trust of my third brother, I will seize his military power.
Can welcome the Qing heavenly troops into the city."
The Manchu general who escorted Li Hao to Seoul was called Hilgen, who was a personal guard of Huang Taiji. Because he had lived in Changbai Mountain for a long time, he was relatively familiar with the geography of North Korea, so he was there every time he invaded North Korea.
"Well, you go into the city and give it a try!" Hilgen agreed with a smile. He did not take North Korea seriously and immediately agreed to Li Hao's plan.
Li Hao came to the city alone again and said to Li Yao who was guarding the city: "Hang me up into the city!"
Li Xiao ordered his soldiers to hang baskets. When his brother got up the tower, he immediately ordered: "Tie them up!"
Li Hao was tied up and said in a low voice: "The puppet Qing army has reached Kaicheng, and my father has escaped again. You and I should cheer up."
"There are many people with mixed ears," Li Yao suddenly yelled loudly, "You are a prince in vain, and you actually help the emperor to do evil. Come, take it back, I want to interrogate you personally!"
At that time, the three brothers were arrested and taken to Shenyang together.
As the crown prince of the Joseon Dynasty, the eldest son barely received some courtesy. The second and third sons were humiliated, and they were determined to take revenge at that time. Instead, the eldest son was trained to be a loyal lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Now, the boss has died of the plague.
Historically, after Li Hao succeeded to the throne of North Korea, he frantically attacked the "pro-Manchu" forces and vigorously re-employed "Northern Expedition" officials. He and his third brother Li Hao were both staunch Northern Expeditionists, and they clamored all day long to go to Beijing.
Helped the Southern Ming Dynasty restore the country.
Of course, the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light.
After taking control of the court, Li Hao gradually indulged in pleasure and even misappropriated military funds for the Northern Expedition to carry out large-scale construction projects.
At this moment, the two brothers quickly reached an agreement and secretly sent their confidants to rule the "anti-Qing officials", and then headed to the Qing army camp outside the city together.
Li Hao knelt down and said: "General, I have persuaded my third brother to surrender. Will the general's heavenly troops be stationed outside the city, or should they go inside the city?"
"Of course we have to go to the city." Hilgen laughed.
Two Korean princes accompanied a thousand Qing troops into the city.
Hilgen quickly took over the city defense. The North Korean defenders were too angry to speak out, and all the officials who did not escape hid in their homes.
A few ministers who were close to the Manchus took the opportunity to show their faces.
That night, brothers Li Hao and Li Yao brought beautiful women and fine wine to Hilgen.
Hilgen remained a little vigilant and stayed on the tower at night, fearing that some North Korean soldiers would rebel and seize the city.
But the Li brothers sent beautiful women and fine wine every day. After several days in a row, Hilgen completely slacked off, and so did the thousand elite Qing troops.
Another day, full of wine, three beauties were brought to her, and Hilgen did not fall asleep until much of the night.
The rest of the elite Manchus also entertained them with good wine and delicious food.
At five o'clock in the morning, shouts of death were heard everywhere, and Hilgen died in his sleep.
Brothers Li Hao and Li Xiao personally led troops to attack the city wall and kill the drunken and sleeping Qing troops.
They continued to fight until dawn, and then sent out troops to massacre the "Qinman" officials. After ransacking the houses of these officials, the money was distributed to the soldiers who defended the city.
"Your Majesty, the Tatars are coming!"
Before the order in Seoul had been completely stabilized, Mandahai's main force had already forcibly attacked Kaesong, looted and headed straight for Seoul.
"Second brother, what should we do?" Li Yao was quite panicked.
Li Hao was also very panicked. He knew that the Qing army was ferocious and Seoul could never be defended, so he said: "Let's lead our troops to retreat to Ganghwa Island, and then ask China's heavenly soldiers to help."
Li Yao said anxiously: "But my father is on Ganghwa Island. My father asked me to stay in Seoul."
"Can you hold on?" Li Hao asked.
Li Yao shook his head repeatedly: "If you can't defend it, even if you divide the money among the soldiers, if there is a fight, some of them will definitely surrender."
Li Hao said: "Then we can only retreat to Ganghwa Island."
"How do you explain it to your father?" Li Xiao wondered.
Li Hao's eyes showed a fierce light: "My father has been in charge of the country for many years and has been plundered by foreign enemies time and time again. Moreover, by professing vassalage to the Tatars, he has already insulted the emperor and ministers of the Celestial Dynasty. Only by changing the leader of the country can North Korea truly get help from the Celestial Dynasty. Third brother, are you willing?"
Are you worried all day long, sitting back and watching the country being plundered by barbarians? Do you still want to be captured and taken to Shenyang as a hostage?"
"I don't want to," Li Yao said.
Li Hao encouraged, "Then please ask your father to abdicate, and you and I will rule Korea together!"
Li Yao couldn't make up his mind. He didn't dare to hold on to Seoul, and he was afraid that he would be accused by his father if he escaped. After thinking about it repeatedly, Li Yao clenched his fists and said, "Then please abdicate the throne!"
The Manchu and Qing armies were still dozens of miles away, so the two brothers took their troops, officials and property and rushed to Ganghwa Island.
The King of North Korea, Lee Seo, was furious and asked his son: "I asked you to supervise the country and defend the enemy. Why did you come to Ganghwa Island? Even if you can't defend Seoul, you can continue to retreat to the south!"
The two brothers raised their swords and killed two of the king's followers.
Li Zhu was paralyzed with fear on the spot, and ran away rolling and crawling to call for help, but was quickly caught by his two sons.
Li Yao's eyes were red and he said: "Father, please abdicate. The leader of North Korea will let my second brother do it! Only when father abdicates will the Heavenly Dynasty forgive North Korea's sin of surrendering to the barbarians. If father does not abdicate, North Korea will never have peace."
Li Hao also knelt down and kowtowed: "Please, father, abdicate the throne!"
If a father is kind and his son is filial, Korea will change.
