There is no simple war in the world, war is a continuation of politics.
A far-sighted king always thinks about things other than war. After all, Goryeo is different from other parts of the Central Plains. All parts of the Central Plains have the same roots and species, and they are one family. No matter how you say it, Goryeo is also a person with a foreign surname. Although it has been educated by the Chinese, it has always been free from the
Outside China.
If you really want to completely integrate this land into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it cannot be achieved overnight. Therefore, the issues of how to rule and manage after the war are more difficult and more difficult to implement than the war itself.
Hearing Zhu Yunxi say that there was something for them to do, the eyes of those Gaoliang people immediately became a little more frightened and suspicious.
These people all have Goryeo surnames, either Jin, Park, or Cui. Although Anju is located in a remote area and is not a big city in Goryeo, they have a close relationship with their family. Furthermore, they all
They were scholars from Goryeo, and Zhu Yunxi hoped that some words would spread through their mouths.
I know that you all have relatives and friends in Pyongyang! Zhu Yunxi glanced at them lightly and said, I am going to send a few people to Pyongyang city to tell the nobles there what I just said, who of you is going?
Immediately, the people who surrendered from Korea buried their heads deeply again, trembling and not daring to speak. Zhu Yunxi's intention was obvious, let them go to Pyongyang and let them work as lobbyists.
Who dares to go? Pyongyang is not as good as Anju. They cover the sky with one hand in Anju, but they are not enough to watch in Pyongyang. If they are discovered, they will be stabbed in the head and their heads will be separated!
But who dares to say not to go?
Although the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty seems to be amiable, these people's families and clan members are now in their hands. If they don't go, I'm afraid they will be labeled as loyal ministers of the Li family and the whole family will be executed!
Just now, you said that you are willing to be a small citizen of the Ming Dynasty and be educated by the Holy Emperor! Now that the Ming Dynasty needs you, you have stopped talking! Zhu Yunxi sneered and said, could it be that what you just said were all lies?
With a bang, Li Jinglong pulled out half of the waist knife, gritted his teeth and said angrily, you are like dogs, His Highness will not abandon you, treat you like a human being. How can you not be grateful for the great grace? He said, waving his hand, come on,
Pull them down, chop them up and feed them to the dogs, and send your wives and daughters to the army for the joy of the brothers!
The ordinary people obey the decree! The ordinary people obey the decree!
Suddenly, the kneeling Koreans shouted in horror, kowtowed repeatedly, and said loudly, the common people are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty, and are willing to serve His Highness!
Tsk! Zhu Yunxi first glanced at Li Jinglong angrily, you guy, control your temper!
I am guilty! Please punish me, Your Highness! Li Jinglong knelt down to plead guilty. However, his eyes coldly swept over the people of Gaoliang, his eyes were like knives scratching their bodies.
He is such a rude person, he scared you! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, I will not call you in vain, I will not take a penny from your family and property. If you have merit, pass on the news or persuade an official in Pyongyang, I will pay you back afterwards.
There is a reward!
It would be a pity not to be an official for you scholars who know what is good and what is wrong and what is wrong. When Gu Gu destroys the Li family, there will definitely be a place for you in the Goryeo court!
The common people are waiting to thank Heaven! These Korean scholars have no choice.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi felt a little tired, so he asked them to retreat. Someone would arrange for them to escape to Pyongyang as a runaway from Anzhou City.
However, there was a middle-aged man among the descendants of Gaoli, but he knelt there and did not move.
Not only did he not move, he even dared to speak loudly. Cui Ru, a common man, has auspicious things to offer to His Highness!
Zhu Yunxi was very curious and asked, "What auspiciousness?"
Cui Ru wanted to move forward on her knees, but was directly pressed against the neck by the guard's steel knife. Fu Rang said angrily, "Who made you move? Kneel down and speak!"
Cui Ru was also a bit brave, and spoke loudly, the Ming Dynasty King's attack on the Li family of Goryeo was to do justice for heaven and benefit the country. The Li family was angry and resentful, and sought death. Your Highness, together with the majestic king, will surely sweep the world!
Before the arrival of His Highness, the King, the common people accidentally learned that an auspicious event had come to the world. Goryeo was a remote and small country with poor supplies. Suddenly, an auspicious event fell from the sky. It was thought that His Highness conquered the Li family and moved the heavens...
...
Stop it! If you want to say something nice, those Hanlin scholars in the capital can say it many times better than Cui Ru. Zhu Yunxi said impatiently, what auspiciousness, you can say it directly!
Cao Min is so rude! Cui Ru slowly reached into his arms and took out a blue stone, holding it in both hands. Cao Min's cousin is the judge of Huishan in Liangjiang Province. Huishan discovered a huge copper mine. He said,
His hand was empty, and the ore in his hand was taken away and presented to Zhu Yunxi.
How dare the small and immoral country of Goryeo dare to covet the merits of Heaven and take it as its own! This is specially presented to His Highness in front of the Emperor to congratulate Heaven on its great victory! After saying this, Cui Ru prostrated again and kowtowed heavily.
Copper mine?
Zhu Yunxi looked at the cold ore in his hand. The Ming Dynasty really lacked this stuff. Copper is money!
Do you know the production volume? Zhu Yunxi asked.
Liangjiang Road is remote and there is no exploration capability, but Cao Min's cousin wrote that on the day of the discovery, more than 300 people were gathered together to dig for a day, and more than 200 kilograms were dug out!
Hiss! Zhu Yunxi stood up immediately.
Compared with Goryeo, the Ming Dynasty's mining, smelting and exploration capabilities were many times greater. As for Goryeo, with the victory of the war, there will be countless inexhaustible manpower available for use.
Use the people of Korea to dig the mines of Korea and use them for the Ming Dynasty! A good thing!
Send someone to the capital to tell Grandpa Huang! Send a message to Lian Zining from the Ministry of Industry and ask him to quickly send officials and craftsmen who are familiar with mining!
Fu Youde also knew that this matter was not trivial, so he did not dare to hesitate and went to give the order in person.
Zhu Yunxi walked slowly to Cui Ru and lightly kicked her shoulder with the toe of her shoe. You are a smart man!
A wise man knows what is the best choice and how to please the winner. Compared with other Koreans, his move expresses his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty better.
If what you said is true, this is a great achievement! Zhu Yunxi continued to smile and said, tell me, what do you want?
The common people don't want anything, they just want to serve His Highness! Cui Ru kowtowed heavily and said.
The highest state of the party leading the way is nothing better than this!
Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment, Duke Cao Guo!
I'm here!
Put you in the army and become a clerk! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, don't treat him badly, go ahead!
Cui Ru is overjoyed. I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness!
You're a fucking Monkey, just give him a pole and climb up! Li Jinglong dragged him away, laughing and cursing, a clerk dared to submit to you, you're such a fucking fool!
~~
Anju surrendered without a fight. After a short stay, there were still many young and strong soldiers who had surrendered from Anju. The army continued to move forward, approaching Pyongyang, the important town of Goryeo.
Goryeo enforced the policy of building strong walls and clearing the wilderness. During the march, the army passed by the military stronghold and the fortress was deserted, and there was no human habitation in the wilderness.
One day later, the army arrived at the bank of the Datong River, a short distance from Pyongyang.
But at the same time, the troops of King Zhu Di of Yan, who were protruding on the left wing, and Wang Bi, who was leading the cavalry in depth, sent messages. The scouting horses in front discovered the Goryeo army. Tens of thousands of horses were rushing to the aid of Goryeo.
Zhu Yunxi now had two choices before him. One was to capture Pyongyang at all costs before reinforcements arrived. But across the river, Pyongyang's city walls were comparable to those of major towns in the Central Plains, and the siege would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Another option is to surround the point and call for reinforcements.
On a high mountain beside the Datong River, Zhu Yunxi looked at the city in sight and said to Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others that he wanted to surround him for help. What do you think?
I will lead a soldier and horse to block the exit of the Koryo Army in Pyongyang! Fu Youde said, Your Highness's defense line, as long as the old minister is here, Pyongyang is a dead city, and the horse cannot leave the city!
Let King Yan come over, and he will attack from both sides, and the troops of Goryeo are coming to help! Lan Yu also said loudly, the old minister estimated that those who came must be the elite of King Jing of Goryeo. If they were destroyed in one battle, Goryeo would have no more soldiers to fight!
Send an order to King Yan, according to the original plan, move closer to Gu! Zhu Yunxi ordered, and then send an order to Xin Guogong Tang He to prepare to cross the sea!
