Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 854 Abolishing the King (Eight Chapters)
"Father has sent people to ask for peace. I think we should agree to their request and end this war." Li Yan worried when he saw Seoul, which was in a mess due to the fighting between the two sides.

The fighting against Seoul in the past few days has resulted in the death of thousands of people in the city.

"His Royal Highness, now is really a good time to eradicate the conservatives. The situation is very good for us, and many warriors have joined us!" The more troops gathered in the hands of the reformers, the more confident they became, and they did not intend to compromise with the civil servants.

"General Zheng, what do you think?" Li Yan encountered this problem and asked Zheng Zhilong for help helplessly.

"I have called together all the Koryo soldiers who have surrendered to us. I have an important decision to announce." Zheng Zhilong did not directly answer Li Yi's question.

After the Beiyang Fleet invaded Seoul, there were as many as dozens of Koryo military generals who took refuge in Li Yan one after another. They were betting on their future!

These people were gathered together by Zheng Zhilong, and they didn't know what important news this admiral of the Kyushu Army planned to announce.

Even Li Yi himself didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zheng Zhilong's gourd.

After dozens of Koryo generals who surrendered arrived, Zheng Zhilong looked around the crowd, his sharp eyes made these Koryo generals dare not look directly at him.

"The king of Koryo was bewitched by a treacherous minister, and expelled the prince's son, Li Yi, for no reason, which made the country's industry difficult to thrive. Therefore, the commander of the Huaxia Kyushu Army decided..." Zheng Zhilong raised Li's arm, "abolish the current king of Koryo, Support the prince's son, Li Yi, as the new king of Goryeo! Let's testify together!"

The suzerain state abolishes the king of the vassal state! ?This is unprecedented!
Dozens of Koryo military generals present were in an uproar when they heard Zheng Zhilong's decision to abolish the king!
In the past, before the king of Koryo took office, he usually sent envoys to Daming to request canonization, but this was just a formality. approve.

But this time Chu Yun is going to directly intervene in the abolition of the king of Koryo, and he also intends to let the prince Li Yan ascend the throne in advance!This kind of power has far exceeded the status of the previous nominal suzerain country!
"No, absolutely not!" Li Yan, whose hand was raised, was shocked when he heard Zheng Zhilong's decision, and struggled to put his hand down.

Abolishing one's father and replacing one's own father, this is simply against the way of father and son!
Dozens of Koryo military generals looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a while.They also felt that doing so was contrary to the principles of ethics, but what they relied on was that the Kyushu Army would push Li Yi to the throne in the future. Now the Kyushu Army has done it ahead of schedule, which is exactly what they want!
"This is the order of the military leader!" Zheng Zhilong whispered to Li Yan.

"Does the military lord mean it?" Li Yan was still very resistant to Zheng Zhilong's promotion of himself as the throne of Koryo, but when he heard that it was Chu Yun's intention, he hesitated.

Almost all of his theories and practices are imitating Chu Yun, and he especially respects Chu Yun. If Chu Yun asked him to become the king of Koryo, he would have to bite the bullet and sit on it.

"It's exactly what the military leader meant. If you want to change Goryeo, you must become the most powerful person in Goryeo, otherwise your idea will be difficult to move forward." Zheng Zhilong said.

"I understand the painstaking efforts of the military master." Li Yan, who has experienced the exile of Jeju Island, the attack on Ganghwa Island and Seoul, gritted his teeth. If he wants to change, he will bleed. Thousands of people have sacrificed for this. For the sake of Koryo, he did not You can retreat!

"Long live, long live, long live!" Jin Zidian and other reformers saw that Li Yan had finally strengthened his determination to become the king of Koryo, and they took the lead in shouting long live.

"Long live!" Dozens of Koryo generals gritted their teeth secretly, and all surrendered to Li Yan.

They have no way out after this cry. If Li Yan can become the king of Goryeo, their power will be even greater than now. If Li Yan fails, the current king will liquidate them!
"I will issue an ultimatum to the palace today. If the current king does not announce his surrender within a day, we will launch a general attack on the palace the next day!" Zheng Zhilong announced to everyone after supporting Li Yi.

It has just been announced that the new king will be established, and the current king is about to be attacked!
The generals of Goryeo did not expect Zheng Zhilong to be so resolute!

"You divide into two teams and delay the reinforcements on the left and right respectively. I will personally lead the main force to attack the palace. Once the palace is breached, all of you..." Zheng Zhilong made the final deployment.

"Exile them all to Jeju Island." Li Yan hurriedly said, fearing that Zheng Zhilong would capture the royal family of Korea and kill them all.

"You will be the king of Koryo in the future, and you have the final say on the affairs of Koryo." Zheng Zhilong said to Li Yi.

The news that Li Xuan proclaimed himself king outside the palace spread to the King's Palace of Korea, which made the reaction of the civil servants who were already against Li Xuan even more violent!
The old king is not dead and the new king is established, which violates the principles of father and son!
If Li Yan claimed to be the king, perhaps the power of the civil official group would be enough to defeat him, but Li Yan had the powerful Kyushu Army behind him, which especially gave some warriors hope.The Kyushu Army, which advocates force, will definitely use them more than the small court controlled by the civilian group.These warriors, who were usually suppressed by the civil official group and had no right to speak in the court, stood by Li Yan's side one after another, forming a situation where the warriors dominated.

With the addition of warriors, Zheng Zhilong has enough troops to cover the Beiyang Fleet's attack on the King's Palace of Koryo!
"Start the attack!" Zheng Zhilong pulled out his command saber when Dongfang was pale in the early morning of the next day, and led a thousand Beiyang Fleet soldiers to launch the final battle against the Koryo King's Palace.

Thirteen ships, one thousand landing troops, forcibly wanting to take down the capital of a huge kingdom to prove their strength!
Boom, boom!Two smoothbore cannons fired and fell into the formation formed by the Imperial Forest Army, blood and flesh flying everywhere!
Zheng Zhilong has no awareness of protecting cultural relics at all, but wants to defeat the opponent as much as possible and capture the king of Koryo alive!

Soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet used the buildings near the palace as shelters, and used the originally resplendent palace as a battlefield.

The loudest civil servant group in the imperial court hid in the palace. Hearing the sound of artillery and gunshots outside, he didn't dare to say more.

"Nizi, Nizi!" Li Yan, the king of Koryo, was sitting on his throne, calling Li Yi rebellious.

The sound of artillery and gunshots is getting closer and closer, and it is less than a hundred steps away from the palace!
"Your Majesty, the enemy army is approaching. If we evacuate Seoul as soon as possible, we can still preserve our strength and make a comeback." A civil servant suggested.

"I won't leave even if I die...!" Li Zhen said firmly.
