Walking among them, the kings and ministers of North Korea could not help but feel downcast.
After the two wars of Imjin Japanese Rebellion and Dinmao Rebellion, Pyongyang suffered great damage. Many years have passed and it has still not been repaired.
How can I repair it if I don’t have money?
Originally, Pyongyang was only broken a little, and it didn't matter to North Korea.
But now that King Li Zhu and the Liangbans have moved here, they immediately feel the inconvenience.
"Your Majesty, the Xia thieves and rebels are becoming more and more arrogant. Most of the territory of North Korea has been lost, and all the people of the eight realms are mourning and weeping blood. I beg your Majesty to use all-powerful means to restore peace to the country of North Korea and the peace of the people."
Kneeling in front of Huang Taiji, Li Zhu cried blood.
He had really had enough of the days of wandering around. At this moment, he missed the life in Gyeongbokgung Palace very much.
It's a pity that his home was first occupied by Huang Taiji, and now it may be owned by Zuo Mengeng, right?
That's his home, not a public toilet!
Come when you want and leave when you want.
Like Li Jie, the North Korean yangbans also cannot stand the current situation.
Many of their families live in the south. After moving to Pyongyang, they had no fixed place to live and no food to eat. Therefore, they missed their hometown so much that they dreamed of going back.
But the news coming from the battlefield was getting worse day by day, making them almost collapse.
He also kept receiving bad news, but Huang Taiji was very calm.
"The war is still going on. The victory or defeat at the moment does not mean the final result. If you are flustered and behaving in a panic, is this the way to achieve great things?"
The Korean monarchs and ministers were scolded so much that they could not help but secretly curse in fear.
When the Manchu and Qing dynasties oppressed Korea to the point of suffocation, everyone thought that Huang Taiji was unparalleled in power and talent.
Following such an emperor would make me feel a little more aggrieved, but it would also keep me safe.
However, the war reached this point and half of the country was lost, which made North Korea inevitably suspicious of Huang Taiji.
"The fist must be withdrawn so that it can be punched out better and harder. Don't be deceived by the current appearance. Victory will eventually belong to us."
Huangtai Jiyun Mountain was shrouded in mist, leaving North Korea's monarchs and ministers completely confused.
They receive information about the situation on the battlefield every day, and it seems very bad no matter how they look at it.
Where did Huang Taiji get the confidence to turn defeat into victory?
Just when they couldn't figure it out, Huang Taiji started to put pressure.
"The Lord of Korea must raise food and fodder for 40,000 troops within three days. There must be no delay, otherwise military law will be imposed."
When he heard that the Manchus were asking for supplies again, Li Zhu's face turned pale.
North Korea's family wealth is extremely weak. After so many years of hard work, it has been almost worn out. Even the monarchs and ministers are struggling to survive and are extremely miserable.
Especially now that the richest south has been lost, where should we find food and grass?
"Your Majesty, it is clear to you that North Korea is at the end of its rope and there is no more food left. Thousands of people are crying out for food, hoping to survive, and there is no room for robbery!"
Their pleas did not elicit mercy from Huang Taiji.
"If we don't have food and grass, we will use your flesh and blood to feed the army. The heavenly army is here to fight to the death, all for Korea. If you don't die to repay your kindness and gratitude, how can you call us human beings?"
Under the naked threat, the North Korean monarchs and ministers were helpless.
What can be done?
They had already seen the brutality and tyranny of the Manchus. If they did not obey orders, they would probably end up in a worse situation.
In order to survive, Li Zhu and Liangban had no choice but to abandon the people and start a cruel search again.
Having just endured a difficult winter, the people tried hard to find a way to survive in the warm spring breeze, but in the end, all their last bits of wealth were taken away.
The people who had completely lost hope had no idea how to survive.
Three days later, the North Korean monarchs and ministers barely managed to get enough of the food and grass requested by Huang Taiji. At the same time, they were deeply puzzled as to why Huang Taiji did this?
When they came outside the city and saw tens of thousands of cavalry slowly coming from the north, they all couldn't help but open their mouths.
But I saw that this cavalry was very large, with one person, two horses or even three horses. Their attire was completely different from that of the Qing army, and even slightly different from that of the Mongols.
The well-informed Cui Mingji recognized him immediately.
"This is Mobei Mongolia."
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen stopped outside Pyongyang City. The leading general came to Huang Taiji and knelt down obediently.
"His Majesty the Great Heavenly Khan, the Tuxie Tubu and the Zasak Tubu have been summoned by you and are here to serve you."
Looking at the reinforcements appearing in front of him, Huang Taiji finally showed a smile.
He personally stepped forward and helped Tushe Tuhan Gonbu and Zasak Tuhan Subadi.
"I have witnessed your loyalty with my own eyes. From now on, the Qing Dynasty and you will no longer distinguish each other, but we are brothers whose blood is thicker than water."
The two Mongol Khans quickly expressed their modesty, but no one knew what they were thinking.
Gunbu took the opportunity to apply eye drops.
"The foreign minister informed Shuolei Jinong, but he was indifferent. I beg your Majesty to punish you for such a crime of neglect."
Mobei Mongolia is divided into three Khan tribes, namely the Tushetu tribe, the Zasaktu tribe and the Chechen tribe.
After receiving the order from the Manchu Qing Dynasty to send troops, the Tuxie Tubu and Zhasak Tubu did not dare to neglect, and even the Khan personally led the troops.
Only the Chechen Ministry turned a deaf ear.
The reason is not difficult to guess.
The Chechen tribe originally had good relations with the Chahar tribe, but its relationship with the Manchus had always been relatively alienated. After the Chahar tribe was eliminated, many remaining troops went north to join the Chechen tribe.
The Chechen tribe relied on the fact that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and they had always been aloof from the Manchus.
"Those who are friends should enjoy the wine of friendship. Those who are not friends will eventually regret the loss of friendship. With your help, I can achieve great things."
Huang Taiji made an oath.
Obviously in his mind, Chechnya has been blacklisted. Once the time is right, he will definitely attack and destroy it.
Isn't this what Gunbu and Subadi want?
Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was powerful, it was too far away from Mobei.
Once the Chechen tribe is eliminated, the vast territory vacated will inevitably become a meal for these two families.
In the dense forest in the distance, the Xia Army scouts lurking here saw the sudden appearance of a large number of soldiers and horses, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
"The third team will go south immediately. They are not allowed to stop on the way. The situation must be handed over to His Highness."
A small team was separated from the scouts and began to move south rapidly.
Along the way, not only did they not dare to stay, they also had to fight wits and courage with the Manchu troops and pass through layers of defenses.
Every moment, they face the threat of death.
But the military situation is like a raging fire and cannot be delayed for a moment. Everyone knows the importance of this military situation.
In the wilderness and at the pass, brutal fighting continued all the way.
The brave Xia army scouts used their own blood to save the safety of the army.
