Chapter 381 The Ming soldiers are really the cutest people in the world
"Then what should we do according to your wishes?" Li Jue looked at the king's younger brother and smiled bitterly. He seemed to be looking at his brother Shouyang Lord Li Yao gently. He was extra vigilant in his heart. He was very cautious.
He knew what his brother-in-law was thinking. His son Li Hongwei was still young, but his body had always been weak and sickly. At the moment, Li Jue felt that he was not going to die soon.
During this period of time, although he did not fully understand the actions of his younger brother Li Yao, he also knew a lot. He knew that this younger brother who had been peeping at the throne for a long time would not be willing to be an idle uncle.
This royal younger brother is not like the ordinary children of the Joseon royal family who give up martial arts and follow literature, and are fond of bows and horses. However, he can also write beautiful calligraphy. He can be regarded as a talented man with both civil and military skills. His father once had the intention of being a prince.
, and the title of the king's younger brother Li Yao was changed again and again because of this. He was first named the King of Jinping, then the King of Xianping, the King of Jinyang, and finally the King of Shouyang.
It's a pity that when he first came to the throne, he couldn't kill this ambitious brother who was unwilling to rise to the throne. But now, his body is in this state and it is difficult to manage. Li Yao, who is known to be popular and ambitious, is even more helpless.
People can control it. As for his father's old ministers, except for a few who stood firmly on his side, most of them belonged to the fence-sitting faction. This made Li Jue start to worry.
of his son's future.
"My brother thinks that although our Kingdom of Korea is not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty, it cannot lose the backbone of the country. Although Yu Bochang is a general, his ability is mediocre and he has always done nothing. As the commander of an army, he can command five divisions.
Wan, he was actually attacked by the Ming army without any notice, which shows how careless he is." Li Yao sat upright and talked confidently.
"Although we have only tens of thousands of soldiers in Pyongyang, there are many important towns with soldiers and horses stationed there. Moreover, our city of Pyongyang has high walls and thick walls, which are not as thick as those of the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty... Moreover, the Ming army and those female straight tribes are unjust.
Division... we only need to be able to hold on to Pyongyang for more than a month. The Ming army's attack will be fruitless and will inevitably retreat."
"At that time, go to the Ming Court and show your humility to the great emperor of tomorrow. As long as they have a decent face, they will naturally not make it difficult for us in Korea. At that time, if we continue to work hard, we will be able to restore our father's king.
foundation."

Li Yao's voice was quite loud. Although this insight was not unique, it was still much better than Li Jue who couldn't make up his mind and didn't even know whether to fight or flee.
The civil and military ministers who had been arguing finally came to their senses and focused their attention on the brothers. Li Yao's confident attitude and confident performance were quite impressive.
The minister's blue eyes.
Li Jue couldn't help but cough violently and heartbreakingly. The hollow and hoarse cough quickly attracted the attention of the ministers. Everyone knew very well that the king's illness could no longer be postponed.
How long has it been, now, I am just relying on the imperial doctor to use those fine ginseng to hang my life.
According to the situation disclosed by the senior doctor who had served the two kings, if the king's body was carefully maintained in the past, there would be no problem for three to five years. However, in the past few days, there has been a series of bad news.
, I am afraid that it is only what happened in the past few days that made the king feel so depressed.
It was precisely because of receiving this news that Li Yao hurried to Pyongyang. Of course, it was ostensibly because North Korea was in a critical situation and Brother Wang fell ill. As a son of the emperor, how could he not spare any effort in the name of it?
And privately, even the rats in Pyongyang, the capital of the Joseon Dynasty, could guess that Lord Shouyang had the intention of paying New Year greetings to the rooster with the weasel in mind.
But now Li Jue is seriously ill on the bed, and the prince is still young. If it were in peacetime, it would be perfectly logical for the prince, who is only a little over thirteen years old, to take the throne. However, in front of us, North Korea is besieged on all sides. If
If you pass the throne to a little kid who doesn't understand anything, it will be really big.
Although many ministers agreed morally that the crown prince should inherit the throne, but now, the Kingdom of Korea needs a bold and decisive king like Li Ao to inherit the throne and save the Kingdom of Korea from danger.
the edge of.
Li Jue narrowed his eyes and looked at the many civil and military ministers in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on that person. "That's what I said, but maybe my brother Wang didn't hear the news from Shuozhou. The Ming army carried a large number of artillery.
Once the fire was fired, the sound was like thunder and the power was infinite. Shuozhou City was almost destroyed by the Ming army's artillery fire. Yu Bochang's army was also defeated by the Ming army's artillery fire, and was left without a fight.
It was only in the end that so many soldiers were captured."
"Brother, the words about the defeat of the army are still credible, but how can we believe them all? My brother is also a person who is proficient in military affairs. How can he not know the benefits of artillery fire? But if you say that the artillery fire alone can defeat Yu Bochang,
I can't even imagine that an army of fifty thousand soldiers was crushed and surrendered." Li Yao curled her lips secretly and said indifferently.
After hearing what he said, many ministers present also nodded. Yes, the Ming Dynasty had artillery, and North Korea also had artillery. Although it was not as diverse as the Ming Dynasty, it still had artillery. The sound of those artillery firing was indeed scary.
But in terms of power, unless it's a straight line, it can really be said that you will die if you hit it, and you will be hurt if you rub it. One hit and a long series.
But it is really ridiculous to say that dozens of artillery shells can be smashed down like that, which can knock tens of thousands of troops into confusion, and then surrender after seeing the Ming army. It can be said to be extremely
Ridiculous lie.
At least, the North Korean monarchs and ministers felt this way. Maybe it was the idiot Yu Bochang who made a mistake in his command, which caused the 50,000-strong army to be destroyed in the hands of the Ming Dynasty army. Li Yao's words made many civil servants look stunned.
shape.
Although Li Jue felt extremely unhappy about the scene in front of him, he had to admit that what Li Yao said was indeed very reasonable. At least in this era, he had not seen with his own eyes the Ming Emperor who had begun to install new equipment*
People with an elite fighting force cannot imagine or believe that a few dozen artillery pieces can defeat tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
In the end, Li Jue had no choice but to nod in agreement with Li Yao's suggestion and decided to defend Pyongyang to the death. Although he didn't want to defend it, he was like a candle in the wind and could die at any time.
Under such circumstances, it would be too difficult to escape to other places to avoid disaster, and you might even die in the face of light as soon as you leave the palace gate.

But of course Li Jue would not hand over the power of Pyongyang's military and government affairs to the ambitious Li Yao, but to the leader Gao Changxun. Although North Korea is in the northern region, it is dominated by those who founded the state and the puppets.
The Jianzhou Women's Straits Company suffered a series of defeats, but finally retreated to the Qingchuan River and Daning River area, and gradually gained a firm foothold.
The North Korean troops dispatched from various places gradually gathered together and withstood the crazy attacks of the tribal soldiers and horses in the Qingchuan River and Daning River area.
As for the Ming Dynasty's army, after defeating the Korean army under the city of Nashuozhou and helping to occupy Nashuozhou, they actually became quiet, let alone moving a finger to the south or in other directions.
He didn't even want to shake his head, like an old gangster who was extremely fierce and killed countless people and suddenly pretended to be a lady.
But the more Shi Heng stood still, the more panicked and frightened the entire North Korean army became. It was the tribes in Liaodong and the Yalu River area that had been subdued by North Korea in the past who were more fiercely injured than anyone else.
However, after the North Korean army formed a defense line along the Daning River and Qingchuan River, the tribesmen and horses who were exhausted from the offensive finally stopped to rest their breath.
Among these tribes, in addition to a considerable number of them who were severely punished by North Korea in the past, there are also many tribes in Liaodong who were forced or assigned by the Ming Dynasty. Among them, there are many tribes with original strength.
The intact Jurchen and other tribes in the West Sea.
However, when they let go of their hands and launched aggressive attacks on the Korean Peninsula, of course they also received generous rewards, and naturally they fought harder and harder, so much so that many small tribes that did not join the war at the beginning also spontaneously organized
They got up and came to this land to get a share of the pie.
And when these barbaric tribal soldiers disappeared outside the cities that had been conquered and plundered, groups of Ming troops came over. It was very smooth. It can be said that they took over the command of these cities without any resistance.
.
After taking control of the city, the large amount of supplies made these ordinary people who had been traumatized by the war feel that the Ming soldiers were really the cutest people in the world.
Just like this, whenever those barbaric tribesmen disappeared, Ming soldiers would appear with a large amount of supplies, so that these cities would fall into the trap without sacrificing the lives of any Ming soldiers.
In the hands of Ming Dynasty.
All that was needed was some supplies. Compared with the past when I risked my life by copying knives myself, the process seemed much more tedious, but the result was quite satisfying.
At this time, Li Jue, the leader of North Korea, finally couldn't stand it any longer. He held his son Li Hongwei's hand tightly and died in the middle of the night in his palace.
That night, Li Hongwei ascended the throne as the king of North Korea with the support of many ministers. In order to ensure that his son could ascend to the throne smoothly, Li Jue still resorted to tricks and found a minor crime.
, and escorted his brother Li Yao, the King of Shouyang, back to his mansion for surveillance.
And on the third day after Li Hongwei ascended the throne as king, the King of Joseon received bad news again. A Ming fleet had arrived at Jeju Island at some unknown time and had captured it.
When I heard that the Ming Dynasty actually sent out her famous fleet, which was famous all over the world, I originally thought of sticking to the land route and trying to delay the time. It would be best to make the Ming Dynasty think that North Korea is nothing more than worthless things.
After that, the plan to try to negotiate peace completely went bankrupt.
Despair and fear, like two evil dragons, are hovering over the head of the Korean Kingdom. Their sharp claws will be revealed at any time, and they will destroy those who have lost their last hope in the face of the powerful force of the Ming Empire.
North Korea, scattered into pieces...
