When the city gate was opened, this picturesque and cozy town was instantly surrounded by the iron fire of the Ming army. There was blood, fire, and panicked screams everywhere.
The Ming army poured in like a tide, as violent as a storm, but extremely well-organized. They first occupied the commanding heights in the city, and then transformed into several teams and advanced rapidly along the streets. As long as the Koreans were holding weapons, they were killed by the Ming army. Then the Ming army
The barracks and grain depots in the city were quickly occupied.
The elderly Duke of Xin, Tang He, accompanied the Ming army into the city with the support and protection of several personal guards.
It will cost me my life!
Tang He looked at the city wailing under the iron hooves of the Ming army, leaning on crutches and said, are there any officials who are holding on to this place?
Wang Jinglue was covered in blood, and the enemy's flesh and blood was still hanging in the gaps in the iron armor. He said loudly, "My father-in-law and his sons have surrounded the Gaoli Mansion Office and are preparing to rush in!"
If you can't help but kill him, don't kill him! Tang He looked coldly at the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were kicking down doors, looting and setting fires along the street. He said, "Give me the order. If you can't move the big and famous families in the city, don't move. We still have to rely on others."
Maintain the ground!
Wang Jing was startled for a moment and asked, then...the future of the brothers?
Tang He scolded, "Isn't there enough in the treasury for you to share? After clearing the whole city, it would be better to gather all the rich people in the city and ask them to donate money than to rob them. Besides, everyone has their money hidden."
Unless you dig deep, where is it so easy to find?
Wang Jing thought for a while, then he couldn't help but stretched out his thumb and said with a smile, "Master, that's high! It's so high!"
The soldiers let go and robbed, but they only robbed a bunch of odds and ends from poor people's homes. The rich people's homes had all their money hidden. Where could the brothers find it in this unfamiliar country?
Let's go to the government office! Tang Heyun said in a calm tone, you still have to learn how to fight. When I and the emperor fought against the world, they didn't rob things when they saw them. They all used knives after occupying the city.
Force the big family to obediently pay and pay for food! One big family is fatter than robbing a hundred poor families!
As I was walking, suddenly there was a bang from a cannon in front of me, followed by the cheers of Ming soldiers.
Broken! Broken! Rush in and kill!
Tang He quickly speeded up and rushed over. In front of him was a fortress that was stronger than the surrounding city and made of bricks and stones. The middle gate was wide open and filled with smoke.
The mansions of Goryeo officials were built more solidly than those in the outer city. The circular courtyard walls were full of small holes that could shoot hidden arrows, and there were various bunkers and arrow towers on the walls.
It must have been that after the Ming army entered the city, they couldn't attack it for a while, so they directly pushed in small cannons and opened the gate with one shot.
Compared with the low thatched houses in the city, this mansion was considered magnificent. At this time, the courtyard was filled with the screams of Korean people and the ferocious shouts of Ming soldiers.
I believe in the Duke’s order to capture the Lord of Goryeo City alive!
After Tang He entered the house, the guards following him shouted loudly.
But the murderous Ming army was still wreaking havoc in the house. The white window paper was covered with hot blood.
The corners of Tang He's eyes twitched fiercely, and suddenly the crutch in his hand pointed to one side, and he came over to catch and kill him!
In the long corridor of the house, a Ming army man dressed as a thousand-family man was holding down a Korean woman. With his big iron fan-like hands, he tore the woman's skirt to pieces in a few strokes, revealing two bare slits.
Slippery legs.
Come here! Tang He's soldiers stepped forward and pulled the Qianhu away.
Damn it, don't be so impatient, I'll come first! That Qianhu thought he was going to snatch the daughter from him, but then he was woken up by Tang He and several of his soldiers, and was dragged in front of Tang He.
Are you leading the team? Didn't you hear my military order? Tang He asked, squinting his eyes and tightening his grip on his crutches.
The Qianhu knelt down and said with some fear, the general didn't hear it, so he went to restrain the brothers! After saying that, he ran away in a hurry, shouting, "Don't rob me, hurry up"
Find the Lord of Goryeo City for me!
The anger on Tang He's face did not diminish, and he cursed, "Damn it, according to my previous temper, I will just kill this bitch!"
Seeing his bad expression, Wang Jinglue said cautiously, Sir, the brothers just want to have fun, why are you so angry! Besides, before the war started, you also said that all the property in the city should be distributed to the brothers!
I talked about dividing the property and letting them kill, set fire and abuse women? Tang He’s eyebrows stood up, is now the time to do these things? The top priority is to clear the whole city and let this small seaport town be used by the Ming Dynasty. After the clearing,
The army gathered together and marched directly into Wangjing of Goryeo. How could we do this later?
The emperor's grandson conquered Goryeo, and he was attacking Goryeo's rebellious minister Li. Tang He continued to say angrily, "To destroy the country is not to destroy its species. We are here to attack the city, not to massacre it!"
Wang Jinglue was scolded so much that he did not dare to raise his head, but he felt somewhat disapproving of it.
The seaport where the Ming army landed was the famous Incheon Port in later generations. In his letter to Tang He, Zhu Yunxi made a very solemn statement that this place would be the place where the Ming Dynasty would garrison troops in the future, and it would control the throat of Goryeo. If you can be gentle, don't do it.
Indiscriminate killing.
Otherwise, if there is no one left to kill, who will do the work in the future?
After killing someone, how can they sincerely be loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the future?
The most difficult part of the war against Goryeo was not fighting, but how to govern. Unite the gentry of Goryeo and grant them some privileges. Be gentle to the local people and make them remember the kindness of the Ming Dynasty.
Absolute iron-bloodedness can only lead to endless resistance from the opponent.
In absolute iron-bloodedness, if you add some kindness and kindness and give some sweetness, it will not only make the enemy stop resisting, but also cultivate countless minions.
A few years later, when this port was built by the Ming Dynasty and became prosperous, the people here would proudly call themselves Ming people.
I have issued an order from the commander-in-chief that all soldiers are not allowed to burn, kill or commit adultery in the city! Tang He gritted his teeth and said, "Anyone who violates this rule will be killed!"
Well! The soldiers around him solemnly agreed, and then ran out of the house, shouting along the way to enforce military discipline.
At this time, a cheer suddenly came from deep in the house, "Catch it!"
Then, a group of Ming soldiers dragged a fat man with tears on his face and ran to Tang He. "Master, this fat man is the high official here!"
Spare my life! Spare my life! The fat Korean man in white clothes kept kneeling down and begging for mercy, trembling.
Hey, my lord, you don’t have to be like this. I am here with Master Wang on the orders of Emperor Ming to conquer the traitors of the Li family of Goryeo and restore the peace and prosperity of Goryeo. I am not here to kill people, set fire, or be a robber!
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Tang He with a smile on his face supported the fat Goryeo official with his hands and said kindly, "This is Tang He, the Duke of Damingxin. What's your surname, sir?"
All Goryeo officials are proficient in Chinese characters and can speak some Chinese. The fat Goryeo official, with his body swaying with fat, said intermittently, "Xiaguan...Xiaguan Jin..."
Dingshun... Nickname, Jin San!
He was really frightened. The Ming army's magic soldiers descended from the sky and directly occupied their small seaport town. Moreover, the troops were led by a prince. With just one order from the other party, his two hundred kilograms would be splashed with blood on the spot.
Tang He smiled kindly and his tone became gentler. "Brother, you don't have to be so frightened. Master Wang came to Goryeo to plead for the lives of the people of Goryeo, not to be a villain!" After saying that, he said with a smile, "Master Wang has occupied the city and this place belongs to the Ming Dynasty. My dear friend, I wish you the best."
Abandoning the darkness and joining the Ming Dynasty, instead of serving the rebellious and traitorous Li family, you become a minister of the Ming Dynasty?
The sudden joy fell from the sky, making Jin San so happy that he burst into tears. He cried, "Serving for the Ming Dynasty is the blessing that Xia Guan San has cultivated in his whole life!"
That's good! Tang He patted his hand. I have ordered that after the whole city has been cleared, Master Wang will set up camp on the spot. You still need to organize the necessary logistics and other supplies. In addition, post peace notices to calm the people's hearts.
, you need to do it all!
Official, let’s do it! Although Jin San is fat, he is not stupid. He immediately said, when the civil war in the city subsides, the official will immediately summon the government officials to maintain order in the city and serve you at your disposal!
Mr. Jin, you are truly a good minister of the country. If something happens here, I will definitely tell the emperor of tomorrow and the great grandson of the emperor to mention your contribution! Tang He smiled again.
In an instant, Jin San was not only no longer afraid, but also a little happy.
If he, a low-ranking official from a small foreign country, could reach the emperor of Ming Dynasty with his humble name, wouldn't he be able to rise to the top in the future?
The Ming Dynasty's conquest of Goryeo has already reached this point, and it will definitely not leave in the future. With the Ming Dynasty, who would still care about being an official of the Li family?
Don’t worry, sir! Jin Sanyi wiped the tears and runny nose from his face, I will definitely do my best!
Okay! Tang He Xiaoxiao, please call the government officials to work quickly. I will send a team of personal soldiers to protect you! After saying that, he patted the other party's shoulder again, and one more thing, brother, you have to kill all the rich and powerful people in the city.
When they were called together, Master Wang suddenly arrived. They must have been frightened, so please give them some relief!
