Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 289: Your Majesty, please go on your way and present the Queen in the backyard
Kaesong.

As Pyongyang fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, nearby cities were successively captured by the Ming army.

Duxi, who was stationed in Kaicheng, became very embarrassed. Outside the city, Zheng Guta was surrounded but refused to fight. He could only write a letter begging for surrender to Zheng Guta.

Duxi was willing to join the Ming army.

The sudden letter begging for surrender confused Zheng Guta.

Duxi has become a powerful force, with more than [-] troops in hand, and it is very popular among the local people. Once it sticks to Kaicheng, it will not be defeated within a few years.

He actually surrendered directly to the Ming Dynasty, which made Zheng Guta smell the conspiracy.

He wrote to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue ordered him to accept Duxi's surrender, but he must separate his army into two camps to guard against Duxi's rebellion.

The Ming army did not enter Kaicheng because they were on guard against changes in Kaicheng.

Zheng Guta continued to be stationed outside Kaicheng.

Duxi felt helpless about the Ming army's caution.

He really wants to surrender. The Jurchens are just the sword of the Ming Dynasty, and they will eventually be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. The smart ones should surrender early to gain greater benefits.

At this moment, Wang Yue also had a headache. Cheng Xin wrote that the North Korean King Li Yao had disappeared!

Cheng Xin opened all the tunnels but could not find Li Yao.

"The situation is not good."

Wang Yue knew very well that the emperor sent him in the battle to regain Korea because politics was more important than military in this battle.

The King of Korea must either really die, or he must submit a surrender letter and ask for it, so that the Ming Dynasty can regain Korea in an open and honest manner.

It must not disappear!The missing King of Joseon was the source of the chaos in Korea!

In order to demonstrate benevolence and righteousness, the Ming Dynasty also sent the King of Korea to the capital to be honored and raised with a title.

Cheng Xin knew this very well, so he planned to seize the door, killed Li Yao, asked Li Hongwei to ascend the throne, then killed Li Hongwei, and let Li Yao's legitimate second son Li Zhuo ascend the throne. The young Li Zhu presented a surrender form, and everything Everyone is happy.

Therefore, Cheng Xin must find Li Yao, see the person alive, and see the corpse after death, so that Wang Yue can enter the city.

"Are we going to use the next trick?"

Wang Yue looked at Seoul.

The next best thing is to contact the Jurchen soldiers, let the Jurchen soldiers enter the city and slaughter the city, and then burn Seoul to the ground!

Let the entire Seoul be buried with Li Yao.

Once this strategy is used, the difficulty of recovering North Korea will increase again.

The Ming army could not hide behind the Jurchens and take advantage.

We must face the Korean soldiers directly, attack and massacre the city directly. In this way, North Korea and Ming Dynasty will be in the same situation, which is not conducive to future rule.

Wang Yue's own power to shake the sky will also be greatly reduced.

"Send someone to contact Han Minghui and ask him to come to the camp. I will talk to him personally!"

Although Wang Yue was not in Seoul, he knew a lot about the situation in Seoul. He kept communicating with Cheng Xin.

On the tenth day of September, Han Minghui crossed the Jurchen camp and entered the Ming army camp.

After passing the Jurchen camp, he saw that the Jurchen soldiers had no fighting spirit and did not want to fight at all.

This was what Wang Yue deliberately let him see.

As long as Wang Yue did not let Gunaha go, Gunaha would have to be a dog for the Ming army. If the Ming army asked him to attack the city, the Jurchen soldiers would have to attack the city. The Jurchens had no second choice.

Entering the Ming army camp, Han Minghui saw an outrageously young Wang Yue.

This young man used blitzkrieg to quickly conquer the two capitals of North Korea and take credit for North Korea. This person should be number one.

The only drawback is that he is lame.

After being polite to each other.

"Master Han, I heard what Master Cheng said about you. You are a hero of Korea and a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Why did you become confused at the critical moment?"

Han Minghui was slightly startled: "General Wang, what do you mean?"

Wang Yue chuckled: "I want to ask you a few words first. Please tell the truth. What is the relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty?"

"It is a vassal relationship. The Ming Dynasty is the parent of Korea."

"Your Majesty, who is yours?" Wang Yue asked again.

"Of course he is the monarch of his subordinates!" Han Minghui said seriously.

This is a legal issue.

Although North Korea proclaimed itself emperor behind closed doors, in official documents and folk thinking, it was generally believed that the Ming Emperor was the emperor of the Korean people. The whole of North Korea thought so.

"Who should you listen to, His Majesty the Celestial Empire or the King of Korea?" Wang Yue asked again.

Han Minghui knelt down in the direction of Beijing, bowed three times and kowtowed, and said: "The Emperor of China has a mandate, and no one in North Korea dares to disobey it!"

"Your Majesty has shown kindness and wants to regain North Korea as a province of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Han, please ask yourself, is it a good thing? Or a bad thing!"

"Of course it's a great thing. Your Majesty is showing favor. He is willing to accept foreigners into China. This is the direction of Heaven's grace!"

Wang Yue suddenly shouted: "Then why are you harboring the King of Korea!"

"This……"

Han Minghui argued: "The fact that the king is missing has nothing to do with his subordinates."

"Master Han, you are a smart person, and I like to deal with smart people."

Wang Yue said calmly: "This North Korea, compared to the vast Ming Dynasty, is only a province. I am a minister, and I am not as big as a chief envoy of the Ming Dynasty."

"Your Han family, which has been passed down for ten generations in North Korea, is just a frog in the well."

"Now that the Holy One has shown mercy, I wish the county and county to be North Korea. This is a great blessing."

"You, Han Minghui, can use this skill to leap into the center of the Ming Dynasty and govern hundreds of millions of people. You are a very human minister. Can you tell me, who is more noble compared to Bima Wen in heaven or the stable boy on earth? ?”

Wang Yue loved Journey to the West.

Han Minghui found that Wang Yue was more powerful.

Cheng Xin was also very powerful, but he fell into a weird circle. He went to find the King of Korea by himself, but forgot that Seoul belonged to Korea after all, and the locals were more powerful than him, an outsider.

Wang Yue was different. He went directly to the local snakes, handed the task to the local snakes, and asked them to find him!
"Why did your Excellency choose this subordinate?" Han Minghui thought Wang Yue had evidence?

Secretly relieved.

Wang Yue helped him up: "Because Mr. Han has the talent to govern the world."

"His Majesty loves talents the most, so I believe that you can win His Majesty's favor with your talents and rise to the center."

Suddenly, Han Minghui's pupils shrank, and he jumped to the center of the Ming Dynasty!

Is it really fascinating?
"To tell you the truth, His Majesty's imperial edict has been transmitted, and there is no doubt that North Korea will be established as a province."

Wang Yue said seriously: "But His Majesty left a blank on the list of awards and did not write a name, but gave the power of writing names to me!"

"Do you know the reason?"

Han Minghui was stunned. The emperor was really good at buying people's hearts.

Using a blank reward list, let North Korea's important ministers compete to work for the emperor?
"I hope that the first name will be yours."

Wang Yue smiled and said: "As for fighting, our army will go out to fight. Mr. Han, what do you think we can do to become the first in combat achievements?"

Of course I caught Li Yao!
Let Li Yao surrender and request the prefectures and counties of the Celestial Dynasty and North Korea!
The emperor pushed and gave in again and again, and finally gave in half-heartedly and swallowed North Korea.

Han Minghui once again faced a choice.

"I am willing to serve Mr. Wang!" Han Minghui made a decision immediately.

Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "I have been appointed as the first governor of Korea Province by His Majesty. This is the greatest achievement in Korea Province. I hope it is you."

Governor, this is the official position first created by the emperor. Governor and governor are responsible for military and political affairs.

Moreover, pay attention to Wang Yue's wording, which is to recover North Korea!

Korea has been the land of China since ancient times, and the Korean people are also the people of China, so the word "recovery" is used.

After Han Minghui returned to Seoul.

Li Yao soon appeared, logged into the Qinzheng Hall, and presented a surrender form to the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Cheng, on behalf of the palace, displayed the emperor's guard of honor and collected his watch.

This etiquette process lasts for half a month.

Then, Li Yao presented Ming's request, which had to be sent to the central government and waited for the emperor's approval of rejection. After three times, it would be a matter of course.

However, Li Yao burned himself to death!
"That's bad, the King of Joseon is fake!" Wang Yue shouted.

If Li Yao had not died, Wang Yue would not have become suspicious. However, Li Yao died, causing the situation in North Korea to become turbulent again.

Yang Shouchen, who heard the news of Li Yao's self-immolation, came over at starry night.

"Master Wang, things are broken!"

Yang Shouchen exclaimed: "How will the Ming Dynasty deal with the death of the King of Joseon? Hasn't Your Majesty become the culprit who forced the King of Joseon to death?"

The emperor did not give Yang Shouchen an official position in North Korea, which meant that Yang Shouchen wanted to return to the central government.

"Weixin, it's useless to say this now, what do you think we should do?"

Wang Yuezhen didn't expect that North Korea also had loyal ministers.

He had already beaten Han Minghui, but Han Minghui would rather die than keep the King of Joseon.

North Korea also has loyal ministers.

He underestimated the difficulty of conquering North Korea in counties and counties, and also underestimated the resistance of North Korean ministers.

"Gunaha hasn't left yet?"

Yang Shouchen showed a ruthless look on his face: "Make a deal with the Jurchens, let the Jurchens attack the city, and massacre Seoul! No one will be left alive!"

"This is a bad idea." Wang Yue just didn't want to use this trick. The problems that followed would be even more troublesome.

"Sir, let's seize the North Korean city as quickly as possible and then hold on to the city."

Yang Shou said quickly: "This is the best way."

"But in this way, North Korea will become a quagmire that traps our troops."

Wang Yue hesitated: "Although North Korea is subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has never ruled North Korea and cannot repeat the mistakes of Annan."

Annan rebelled every day, forming a quagmire of war.

The Ming army fell into it and was unable to extricate itself.

Finally forced to give up.

If this trick had been used earlier, why bother to immigrate?Just send troops to attack directly.

The emperor's plan was to use gentle means to slowly annex North Korea, so he sent Wang Yuelai, who understood politics. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to send Mao Zhong?
"Han Minghui and others have figured out our vitality, so they have the courage to deceive us with a fake king of North Korea."

Yang Shouchen said sternly: "Let's do the opposite and kill them."

"Send people south first to seize the city!"

"As long as we have the city in our hands, we can slowly annex the Chao people. Let's transfer some benefits to the Chao people so that they can live a better life than under the King of Joseon. They will naturally turn to the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Shouchen spoke clearly about people's hearts.

The people will support whoever is good to the people. The eyes of the people are sharp.

Wang Yue's eyes were sinister: "Send the order and mobilize Duxi to go south!"

"You want a Jurchen?" Yang Shouchen frowned.

"Weixin, we have too few troops. If we divide our troops further, there will be trouble in Seoul."

Although Wang Yue was depressed, the overall situation was still under control of the Ming army.

County Korea is not difficult, it just has more twists and turns.

Yang Shou Chen said quietly: "Whether we use Jurchens or not, let the Jurchens massacre the city, and then send Tatar soldiers to massacre again, and see how many people from the court are left!"

"Then North Korea's vitality has been drained... I hope they won't commit more crimes."

Wang Yue shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let's take one step at a time and leave Duxi's troops under the command of Lord Li Kan!"

Li Kan is the oldest and most reliable person among them.

Yang Shouchen's eyes lit up. Only Li Kan's ability could suppress Duxi, and he was also an all-rounder. If he was given enough soldiers, he could take over southern Korea.

"Dedicate a thousand soldiers from the base camp to Lord Li Kan to guard against Duxi's rebellion."

Wang Yueyou wrote a letter urging Li Xian to transport people and food quickly.

And Li Xian received the imperial edict earlier than Wang Yue.

Liaoning added three prefectures.

We must first build roads, bring in large-scale immigrants, use Han people to neutralize the Korean people, and achieve complete assimilation after three generations.

And the letter urged by Wang Yue arrived in Yizhou.

Li Xian personally took charge of Yizhou and continued to immigrate Han people to Korea.

Most of these Han people came from Gyeonggi and were mostly criminals and refugees. I told them to go to North Korea to find wives, so there was not too much trouble along the way.

When they arrived in Yizhou, they divided the land and their wives.

Li Xian kept dispatching troops to North Korea.

A large number of military households in Liaoning relocated to North Korea. When these military households entered North Korea, they automatically became civilians, received four times the land, and were given an extra woman.

The original Liaodong garrison had a large number of military households. It was an important town for the battle against Wu Liangha and also an important town for guarding the east gate of the capital.

By the Jingtai Dynasty, there were approximately 20 military households in Liaoning.

After Li Xian reorganized, there were about [-] troops.

After Li Xian asked the central government for instructions, he moved all 20 military households into North Korea in one go. All military households were changed to civilian registration. Each person was allocated at least four times the land in Liaoning, and women were also allocated land.

This is Zhu Ying's way of dividing the land. The next time the land is divided may be hundreds of years later.

Simply divide all the land in one go and stabilize it for 20 years first.

It was also given to military households, and each household was assigned a woman based on the number of men. If the woman had children, they would all be admitted to the same household.

Women and children are equally divided.

Therefore, North Korean women with children have become the most sought-after.

With the new occupation of North Korea, the population dropped sharply.

Li Xian planned to use 20 military households to become small landlords in North Korea and completely control North Korea.

And began to overhaul Chi Road.

The conscripted court officials were also given money, and then they were all treated equally, and they were given land to build houses. If there were no wives, they were also given daughters-in-law.

The male population dropped sharply, and North Korea released a large number of women.

Assimilating people from North Korea is easier than assimilating people from Guangxi, because people from North Korea speak mostly Chinese, mixed with Mongolian, but they can basically understand Chinese.

The construction of Diyu Mansion and Qingchuan Mansion is in full swing.

Then Wang Yue's urging letter came, requesting Liaoning to support a large number of infantry to defend the city.

Li Xian knew that something must have happened in Seoul.

The problem is that he has no soldiers.

The military households in Liaoning were all disbanded, dispersed into North Korea, and were immigrating.

If they are recruited at this time, it is very likely to cause the soldiers to resist and become rebellious against the Ming Dynasty. Then the immigration will also have twists and turns.

He could only tell Wang Yue to wait for the time being, and at the same time wrote a letter to the central government, requesting the central government to allocate infantry troops.

The news spread to the palace.

Zhu Qiyu received a secret report from Song Zi. Song Zi arrived at Songjiang Mansion and wanted to dismiss Song Wei on the spot. As a result, Song Wei brought more than 1 Japanese pirates and used them to fight against the Japanese pirates. If he left, the Japanese pirates would immediately start a rebellion.

"Song Wei is really good at protecting himself."

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Reply to Song Zi and ask Li Zhen to sweep to Songjiang Mansion and arrest Song Wei again. For the time being, let Song Wei be punished and make meritorious service."

There are also Tan Li’s secret memorials.

Answer: Sima Wanhu Mansion is unwilling to cede land.

"Where are you, Chen You?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

"Back to your lord, General Chen has arrived in Suzhou."

Zhu Qiyu asked someone to bring the map in, and he asked someone to mark it: "Where is Kou Shen?"

"Governor Kou is reorganizing the army in Xining City."

"The decree is sent to Kou Shen. After defeating Hami, seize the city of Dasima and join it directly to the Ming Dynasty. No need to dwell on it."

Zhu Qiyu made a decision immediately: "I will give the order to Tan Li and allow Chuosi to enter the capital and serve as a commander in the Ming Dynasty."

Feng Xiao was slightly startled: "Your Majesty, isn't this reward too heavy?"

Answer: Sima is just a house of ten thousand households. There are houses of ten thousand households like Duosi everywhere. If they all act as commanders, won't the Ming Dynasty be in chaos?
"That Chuosi will definitely not be happy with the bargaining. When the time comes, we will fight and destroy the Sima Wanhu Mansion!"

"Your Majesty, in that case, wouldn't Duosi Dusi be in chaos?" Feng Xiao was worried.

"chaos?"

"Next year I will take over the land of Duosi!"

"The Abandoned Capital Division established the province."

"If they don't come to fight me, I will send troops to destroy them!"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "I know what you are worried about, isn't it the food problem?"

"Xu Jue has just entered the Mizuo. This year's potato harvest will be bumper. Next year, there will be a large-scale trial planting. There will be more and more seeds. After Kou Shen plows Duosi Dusi, potatoes will be planted in Duosi."

"I have even thought about provincial governance. I will split Duosi and Wushuang and establish Qinghai Province, Wushuang Province and Xikang Province."

Qinghai Province is referred to as Yong or Huang, and Wushen is referred to as Zhen.

Xikang must be built. If you want to control India, you must build Xikang on a large scale and enter India from the Zhan District.

"The emperor is holy."

Feng Xiao saw that the emperor was very interested and did not dare to disturb his interest.

"Wang Yue's delay in moving shows that he encountered a problem in Seoul."

"Let me guess, the North Korean monarchs and ministers must play Li Daitao's trick. Li Yao probably faked his death and escaped."

"So it stumped Wang Yue."

Zhu Qiyu moved his eyes eastward and looked at North Korea: "It's true that the little devil in the temple is so powerful, but there are so many bastards in Chi Qian."

"North Korea is a small country, but it's the worst at making mistakes."

"If Li Yao fakes his death and escapes, the whole of North Korea will turn into a quagmire of war."

"So Wang Yue urged his troops to Li Xian, and Li Xian released the military households, so he had to rush his troops to me."

Zhu Qiyu hit the nail on the head.

"Send a message to Wang Yue. Don't think that the Koreans love their king so much. The Koreans are descendants of Chinese Miao people, and I am the emperor of Korea!"

"Tell Wang Yue to make good use of Jurchen."

"North Korea naturally surrenders."

The implication is that the Jurchens are used to massacre the city, and the Han people come in and pretend to be good people.

"Ask Geng Jiuchou, is there enough food this year? How much surplus food can be distributed?" Zhu Qiyu sent an eunuch to ask.

Soon, Geng Jiuchou followed.

"Is the ministry busy?" Zhu Qiyu asked after waiting for him to salute.

"Back to Your Majesty, the household department is very busy, but with the help of Mr. Wang Fuwang, the pressure on the shoulders of the minister is relieved."

Geng Jiuchou smiled and replied, Wang Fu is a capable minister.

Zhu Qiyu pointed to the chair: "Sit."

"I need money and food to go to North Korea to buy people's hearts. How much can the Ministry of Revenue allocate?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Your Majesty, although the harvest is good this year, most of the provinces have exempted or exempted taxes. The Ministry of Household Affairs does not have much surplus food. We can scrape together [-] shi of food."

There is no shortage of money, but there is still a shortage of food.

This year's grain harvest was bumper, but the emperor reduced taxes and hid wealth among the people.

If there had been no war, the people would have been the happiest this year.

In the next ten years, the court will reduce taxes on a large scale.

Zhu Qiyu predicted that by the 30th year of Jingtai, the court would no longer rely on agricultural taxes to support government affairs, and would abolish agricultural taxes by then.

"Thirty thousand shi is too little."

"The war in Korea has been going on for a year, and there will definitely be a famine by the end of the year. Recovery will not take a year or two."

"I need a large amount of food to win people's hearts."

Zhu Qiyu was full of helplessness.

Geng Jiuchou was surprised and said, "Is there something wrong with North Korea?"

According to the original plan, there was no need for much money in food. The army would get food on the spot without caring about the lives of the North Korean people.

"Wang Yue may be in trouble, and the King of Joseon faked his death to escape."

Geng Jiuchou shouted: "Didn't Korea become a quagmire of war? What did Wang Yue do? Didn't Cheng Xin plan the coup? Why did the king of Korea escape? Should our army advance or retreat now? ah?"

"North Korea also has loyal ministers."

Zhu Qiyu pressed his hands and said, "Qing Geng, please be patient and don't be impatient."

"It is normal to encounter problems. Marching to fight a war cannot be like a military chess game. All kinds of problems are understandable."

"Wang Yue and Cheng Xin did a good job."

"In less than a year, we are close to recovering North Korea, which is already a great achievement."

Zhu Qiyu was quite satisfied.

Geng Jiuchou was slightly surprised. The emperor had really changed and he was not angry about such big things.

"So your Majesty wants to use money and food to buy people's hearts?" Geng Jiuchou asked.

"Yes."

Geng Jiuchou calculated in his mind and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Everything is business as usual in Ming Dynasty. No additional budget can be added. People in other countries can suffer, but people in Ming Dynasty cannot suffer."

Zhu Qiyu is not a bastard. He takes his own good things and gives them to others, leaving his own people hungry.

At worst, North Korea will be harvested a few years later. Let the King of North Korea be in charge for a few years first, and the mess will belong to him. When I have enough food, it will not be too late to recover the broken North Korea.

Geng Jiuchou knew that the emperor would say this.

The emperor's love for the people is rare in the world.

"The household department can produce up to [-] shi of grain. If it's any more, we won't even have enough grain to prepare for famine." Geng Jiuchou said.

"First collect [-] stones, and I will figure out a solution for the rest."

Geng Jiuchou knew that the emperor's solution was to suffer Annan.

"Your Majesty, how to transport it? If we go by land, it will consume too much. When we get to Seoul, we will only have [-] shi left." Geng Jiuchou asked.

"Take the water route, wait for Xiang Zhong to clear the Bohai Sea of ​​Japanese pirates, transport it from Shandong to Liaodong, and then take the coastal waterway from Liaodong to North Korea."

Geng Jiuchou estimated that this batch of grain would arrive in North Korea by the end of the year.

"Your Majesty, if it is the end of the year, the Ministry of Revenue should be able to squeeze out a little more."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "No more crowding, leave some room for the center. Food is also needed to appease Hami. Let's leave some surplus food this year. What if there is a famine next year?"

"By the way, Li Xian's method of releasing military households is very good."

"From now on, all military households will be moved out as immigrants, converted into civilians, given more land, and one of their sons will be allowed to participate in the imperial examination or military examination."

Geng Jiuchou was slightly startled: "Your Majesty, if all the millions of military households in the world are under cover, there will be too many people in the imperial examination and military examination. Didn't you establish the Imperial College? You will grant permission for your children to enter the Imperial College. Zhu Qiyu frowned: "These people have been military households for generations, and they are meritorious officials. The Ming Dynasty owes them more, and it is appropriate to give them more rewards."

"Your Majesty, talents should come from hard work, not from large-scale rewards."

Geng Jiuchou objected: "You can allocate more land and give some wealth. And places like Korea need officials. It is a great blessing to let military households serve as officials."

Zhu Qiyu opposed this.

The administration of officials must be overhauled.

Officials must be accommodated in the bureaucracy, otherwise they will cause trouble in the local area, which is a taboo.

"Give us wealth and goods first. If warriors serve as officials, won't the world be in chaos?"

"As for additional rewards, I will consider them again."

"I'll think about it again regarding North Korea."

Zhu Qiyu waved back Geng Jiuchou.

"Pass an order to mobilize [-] firearms troops from the capital region, led by Chen Shao, and stationed in North Korea!"

"Equip enough firearms and enter the court via the inland river!"

"Recruit a group of new soldiers from the private sector and train them under Fan Guang."

"Winter is coming soon. Let's rush to make a batch of cotton-padded clothes and send them to North Korea with the army. All soldiers fighting on the front line will have a set of cotton-padded clothes. They must be distributed and the Military Discipline Department will keep an eye on them."

Zhu Qiyu wants to completely abolish the military household system.

Release military households into civilians and fully adopt the recruitment system.

They also plan to conduct a population census and record the population. Of course, this happened ten years ago in Jingtai, so let’s not mention it for now.

And outside Seoul.

Wang Yue was receiving Gunaha's envoy and had a secret conversation with him.

Gunaha was allowed to destroy the city and all the wealth would return to the Jurchens, but there was only one condition, the city must be massacred.

The appointed time is September [-]th.

Han Minghui in the city is sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, and his choice is to take them all!

He not only wants to be the first hero!

I also want the benefit of Li Yao being alive!
He chose to have it all.

So he created a fake Li Yao, offered his surrender, and then burned himself to death.

The real Li Yao is hiding in Zheng Linzhi's mansion.

Li Yao was also ruthless, and all the queens and princes of North Korea were handed over to Cheng Xin. He only took Li Huo by his side to seek a chance to make a comeback.

Zheng Linzhi, Han Minghui and Li Yao have carefully analyzed it.

The emperor wanted to control the counties and counties of Korea.

There would be no need for a broken Korea. The construction of a broken Korea would definitely require a huge amount of money and food. Ming Dynasty would not engage in loss-making business.

Therefore, Li Yao's existence is very important.

Wang Yue would not take risks, but would investigate the case, which gave the three of them a chance to make a comeback.

however.

Just at night.

The servants at home woke up Zheng Linzhi and said that Cheng Xin had led his army out of the city.

Zheng Linzhi woke up suddenly: "What did you say? Where is the queen? Where are the two princes?"

"We should have left the city together!"

"broken!"

Zheng Linzhi never expected that Wang Yue would destroy Seoul!
Sure enough, Jurchen soldiers attacked the city overnight.

The war was fought in a hurry. After the Ming army relieved the siege, the Korean soldiers lost their fighting spirit.

Suddenly Jurchen soldiers attacked the city, and they actually had the illusion of waiting for the Ming Dynasty's help.

Even though Jin Xiaocheng, Nan Yi and others urged the war, the soldiers were still slow and did not want to fight at all.

Less than an hour after the attack, the west wall was broken.

It is also Han Minghui's fault that after the Ming army relieved the siege, they did not make any preparations and did not reinforce or heighten the city wall.

As a result, within an hour, a city wall was broken.

Jurchen soldiers poured into the city and massacred them!

Gunaha gave the order to massacre all of Seoul!

"Hahaha!"

Han Minghui was sitting at home, laughing at his own stupidity.

The emperor's imperial edict is like the power of heaven, how can he allow his subordinates to refute it?

He, Han Minghui, was outstanding in the country of Korea, but in the Ming Dynasty where famous generals and ministers were like a rain, he probably wouldn't even pass the Jinshi exam!
Li Yao flattered him about my ovary, and he took it seriously.

Wang Yue stopped playing and turned over the table!
Regardless of the consequences!

Because Daming can afford this consequence!
The worst case scenario is to take away the goods from North Korea and set North Korea back 100 years. By then, aren't we still crying and begging Dad Ming to take back North Korea?

North Korea is the meat in the Ming Dynasty's bowl, you can eat it however you want.

"I take myself too seriously!"

"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant. My ambition is too great."

Han Minghui smiled bitterly: "But you, Wang Yue, won this game, what about the next one?"

"If you massacre Seoul, Korea will never have peace. No matter how strong your Ming Dynasty is, it will be impossible to completely regain Korea."

"I really want to see the ending..."

He ordered the family to commit suicide.

Han Que's mansion was captured. Han Que knelt in front of the Jurchen soldiers, crying and shouting: "I am the loyal dog of the Ming Emperor, please let me go!"

However, the Jurchen soldiers tied him up and gathered his female family members in the courtyard so that his male family members could watch.

Finally, he drove the female relatives to kill Han Que and other men.

The entire Seoul was reduced to a ghost land.

"Hide me, hide me!" Li Yao picked up Zheng Lin's collar and kept shaking it.

"Your Majesty, you can't get out!"

Zheng Linzhi cried and said: "The Ming army is surrounded on the outside. Even if they escape, they will be killed!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

Recently, Li Yao is still dreaming, waiting for the Ming army to withdraw, he will raise the flag of rebellion, regain North Korea, and then become his King of North Korea.

but!

Daming won't give him this chance.

He faked his death and escaped, and the Ming Dynasty used Seoul to bury him with him!

The entire city of Seoul, with all the essence of North Korea in it, was completely destroyed in one fell swoop!
"Your Majesty, please go on your way first!"

Zheng Lin knelt in front of Li Yao.

Li Yao kept shaking her head: "I am willing to go to the Ming Dynasty and be Lord An Le! I want to be Liu Chan, not a dead ghost!"

"Your Majesty, please go on your way!"

Zheng Lin kowtows with his toes.

"I am also the emperor, why did I have to be killed like this!" Li Yao burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, please go on your way!"

Zheng Lin kowtowed again.

Li Yao pretended to run.

puff!
Zheng Lin stabbed him through with his sword from behind: "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of North Korea and cannot ask for surrender!"

"I, I am the emperor, you, you dare to regicide?" Li Yao looked at Zheng Linzhi and suddenly thought of something else.

He kept me, not to repay my kindness, but to fulfill his obsession!
He is not thinking about me at all!
He just wants Korea to be independent and break away from the Ming Dynasty...

The king of Joseon, Li Yao, fell softly to the ground.

Zheng Linzhi cut his own throat with the regicide sword.

However, Li Zhuo, who was young and hid in the dog hole, was not killed by Zheng Linzhi.

The massacre lasted for more than ten hours.

The Jurchen soldiers turned into hungry wolves, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil.

And outside the city.

Wang Yue then ordered: "Set fire!"

With such a massacre of the city, there must be some fish that slipped through the net!

A fire burned them all, and even the Jurchen soldiers were gone.

His reputation as Wang Yue's contact with the Jurchen soldiers was cleared.

As for the King of Joseon, Lee Ao, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

The Ming army was surrounded outside the city, and anyone who escaped would be shot.

The fire in Seoul lasted for ten days.

at the same time.

The Ming army went south to plunder the city and controlled Cheongju, Jeonju, Gwangju, Daegu, and Yeongju.

Capture the important towns in southern Korea, and then slowly capture other small towns.

At this time, news came that Seoul had been burned by Jurchen soldiers. The whole of North Korea was in a state of silence, and the voices of counterattack against the Jurchens spread throughout North Korea.

Gunaha's head became a stepping stone on Wang Yue's road to promotion.

Seoul was burned to the ground, and Wang Yue moved to Chunchuan and made Chunchuan the new administrative center.

Wang Yue selected Li Yao's brother Li Qiu, the king of Linying, and Li Qiu's son Wushan Jun Li Shu to inherit the throne of Korea.

Li Qiu died of illness after his son inherited the throne.

Li Shu is only four years old this year.

However, among the officials serving in the royal court of Joseon, there was not a single one from the court, all of them were Han Chinese.

Cheng Xin and Wang Yue discussed: "The Queen of Korea should donate it to His Majesty!"

Together with Queen Yin of Joseon were Li Yao's concubines Li Shu and Li Sheng. Their mother Pu was suffocated to death in the tunnel.

Wang Yue understood Cheng Xin's thoughts, which was to flatter His Majesty.

Cheng Xinrong was awarded the title of the first Chief Envoy of North Korea Province, which shows that the emperor was satisfied with him.

"It's just what Master Cheng wants." Wang Yue said with a smile.

And Li Manzhu, who ran to Wonsan, really wanted to leave North Korea.

The Jurchens served as swords for the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, Daming killed the chicken and the knife at the same time.

The news of Gunaha's death made him very sad. This was his eldest son. He was obviously helping the Ming Dynasty, but he was burned and killed by Wang Yue.

Moreover, the news that the King of Korea was killed by the Jurchens caused huge repercussions among the people, and rebellions continued in various places.

The Jurchens also spread the news that it was the Ming army who burned and killed the king of Korea.

But the rebellion is still strong.

Li Manzhu thought of quitting. He felt that entering North Korea was a disaster rather than a blessing.

However, he received news that Jiang Wan attacked from Chushan, first captured Jiangjie, then Guren, Xichuan, and recovered Dexing. After that, the army disappeared.

Li Manzhu guessed that Jiang Wan must have gone to Xianxing to block the Jurchens' way back.

He immediately sent troops north, and sure enough, he fought with Jiang Wan in Xianxing and solved the siege of Xianxing.

Fortunately, it was Dong Shan who stayed in Hamhung.

Although Dong Shan was rebellious, he was very capable in fighting. With Jiang Wan on him, he found no advantage and was beaten all over his head.

Jiang Wan only had [-] cavalry at his disposal, but he was very fast. He would run away after fighting. After conquering the city and obtaining supplies, he did not station any troops and asked Li Xian to send people to take over the city. He then got into the dense forest and attacked the next city. .

Directly turning the entire northern part of North Korea into a pot of porridge, and blocking the Jurchens' retreat.

After Xianxing suffered a defeat, Jiang Wan disappeared again. Let the Jurchens guess, no one knows where Jiang Wan will appear.

Jiang Wan's sophistication stands out.

Mao Zhong had already moved south, from Maoshan, and stopped after capturing Chongjin.

Occupying the Baimao Plateau is Wu Liangha.

Li Manzhu left Wu Liangha in the very barren northeastern part of North Korea. The Wu Liangha people did not find any money here, but were chased and beaten by Mao Zhong.

Chen Shao, who came from the capital to aid North Korea, had already arrived in Yizhou, where he divided his troops and stationed himself in the newly captured city.

He personally led 1 people southward to Seoul.

On the first day of October, there was already a chill in the north and autumn had entered in southern Korea. Chen Shao met Wang Yue in Chunchuan.

The entire southern part of Korea was beaten by Wang Yue.

There was no garrison in Kunai, which slowed down Wang Yue.

As soon as Chen Shao arrived, he immediately sent troops to garrison the cities. Wang Yue sent his troops northward, regaining the Korean cities along the way and driving the Jurchens north.

The situation in North Korea has completely taken the initiative.

A letter of success was sent to the center.

And in southern Zhili.

Song Zi arrived at Songjiang Mansion. According to the imperial decree, Song Wei should be dismissed on the spot and escorted to the center.

As a result, Song Wei had about [-] Japanese pirates in his hands, and he was leading the Japanese pirates to fight against them. Song Zi couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only write a letter to the central government.

The emperor replied and asked Song Wei to continue to lead troops to eliminate Japanese pirates.

And Li Zhen.

We are fighting Japanese pirates on Yangzhong Island.

He also led Japanese pirates to attack Japanese pirates.

He found the reason why the elite troops of Southern Zhili were wiped out.

Some of these guardsmen had been incited to rebel long ago, some were themselves members of the Japanese pirates, and some had relatives and friends who were Japanese pirates.

Therefore, Japanese pirates can land on the island without anyone noticing.

Those who were disobedient were killed directly. These Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers suddenly transformed into Japanese pirates, so the Japanese pirates' power expanded instantly.

One thing fades and the other grows, and the Ming army has no one left.

It was easy for the Japanese pirates to capture Jiangzhong Island, but it would be extremely difficult for the Ming army to take back the island, mainly because there was no internal response.

Those guardsmen who made a comeback were worried about being liquidated by the court, so they fought with extra vigor.

It took Li Zhen a month to set out from Nanjing and recover a few islands eastward.

The reason why the Japanese pirates did not run away.

Because Chongming Island was in the hands of Ming Dynasty, it blocked their way back to the sea and they couldn't escape at all.

Fu Hai is Sha Defeng.

He was recruited and surrendered by the Ming Dynasty and awarded the title of Commander of Chongming Guards. He also completely changed his name to Fu Hai.

This young man selling lanterns who was tortured by Chen Wuyang turned out to be the boss of tens of thousands of Japanese pirates. He was also ordered to be safe by the Ming Dynasty and awarded the title of commander.

He blocked the Japanese pirates' return route, forcing them to be trapped on the island and forced to fight the Ming army.

Although Ou Xin did not have any sailors, he carried out clearing operations along the coast.

Yang Xin came from Jiangxi, reorganized the remaining Japanese pirates, and also led a fleet to attack the Japanese pirates.

The four generals Li Zhen, Yang Xin, Ou Xin, and Guo Mao, what a magical lineup this is.

It is a bit difficult to fight Japanese pirates at sea because there are no boats.

But fighting Japanese pirates in the inland rivers of the Yangtze River is not easy.

Hu Xi was in charge of Hangzhou Prefecture.

Zhang Tong was training troops at the seaside and assisting Zhejiang Province.

Zhang Gu held the military seal and began to supervise the construction of the shipyard.

Moreover, shipyards are being built in the south, especially in the two provinces of Guangxi and Guangdong, which have just been plowed and are adjacent to the sea, and shipyards are being built aggressively.

Li Kuang, governor of Nansan Prefecture in Guizhou, also took a share of the shipbuilding industry.

Li Kuang is really a capable person.

He was a good hand in supervising the three southern prefectures, settling immigrants, training troops, and calming down conflicts between natives and Han people.

In his hands, Nansanfu is flourishing.

Sanfu would become the base camp for the counterattack against the Guizhou chieftains, and Li Kuang was destined to become famous in that battle.

The rainy season is almost over.

Bian Yong bid farewell to Xue Xuan. He benefited a lot from his participation in political affairs in Guangxi.

On the tenth day of September, Bian Yong went south from Xunzhou Prefecture and entered Annan via Zhuque Pass (Zhennanguan).

Suzaku closed.

The pass that was supposed to intimidate Annan was now dug through.

Tens of millions of people worked inside and outside the pass.

After asking, he found out that this was Fang Ying's order to open the road to Annan.

Xue Xuan also ordered that all roads leading to various prefectures in Guangxi must be opened before New Year's Eve this year.

To this end, the Chief Secretary of Guangxi recruited a million people, both men and women, to dig roads.

The center also manufactured millions of farm tools. When they are used up this year, the farm tools will be distributed directly to the people. All people who participated in digging the road will be allocated the farm tools they use at the end of the year.

Therefore, the people of Guangxi were mobilized.

Provide enough food and money.

The natives of Guangxi came down the mountain one after another to participate in the work.

The Chief Secretary of Guangxi kept his word. At the beginning, he distributed money once a day. Now after several months of doing this, he changed it to every half month. The payment was not in cash, but in tickets.

You can withdraw cash at the bank.

In order to facilitate withdrawals, various prefectures in Guangxi were the first to set up banks.

Eliminate the administrative burden of moving and escorting.

Just let people go to the bank and withdraw money.

Xue Xuan took the opportunity to count the population and planned to use Zhu Ying's method to divide the land.

Bian Yong passed through one construction site after another before entering Guancheng.

Guancheng is not fortified. Instead, a large amount of supplies are piled up, waiting for the Annan rainy season to pass so that they can be transported to Annan.

As soon as October arrived, Annan and Guangxi started communicating.

Bian Yong embarked on the road to Annan.

But when you enter Annan, you see a completely different scene from the Ming Dynasty.

Guangxi's construction is in full swing, and people's faces are filled with smiles. Deforestation is being cut down, and tung trees and fruit trees are planted. Every household is filled with smiles.

The consequences of plowing down Guangxi are gradually disappearing, and people are beginning to yearn for the Ming Dynasty.

Whoever can make the people live a good life will be whom the people will turn to.

Annan, on the other hand, is completely different.

Corpses littered the fields, and people died of hunger everywhere.

The muddy roads after the rainy season are littered with corpses.

There are more mosquitoes of all kinds than in Guangxi.

On the road, there were many homeless people who were fainting from hunger.

All of them looked like walking zombies, with bulging bellies, as if they had eaten dirt.

I haven’t seen this in the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Bian Yong himself has forgotten it. What are the refugees in the Ming Dynasty like?
"Your Majesty is truly wise!"

The deeper Bian Yong went into Annan, the more he felt like this: "Only by making the people rich can the scourge of war be eliminated!"

"Who doesn't want to have a full stomach?"

"Who doesn't want to be rich?"

"People are not afraid of hardship, but they are afraid of poverty!"

These are Zhu Qiyu’s original words: “I will make all the people of Ming Dynasty rich!”

“Not only does every family need to have enough to eat, but they also need to be able to afford meat!”

"Every family can afford to raise more than a dozen children!"

"Every child must go to school and read!"

"This is my ambition, and I will work hard for it throughout my life!"

When he was at the center, Bian Yong didn't have any feelings. The people in his eyes were all members of the gentry family, and the people in the capital at least didn't have to worry about filling their stomachs.

I didn’t eat well, but I was able to eat half full.

But in Annan, there are refugees everywhere. The refugees who have endured half a year in the rainy season because of the war have degenerated into beasts.

"Will there be a plague?" Bian Yong worried.

He went all the way south and met Fang Ying in Tangzhou, Annan.

Fang Ying is practicing martial arts.

This year, a major event of martial arts has been added to the Games. Under martial arts, there are confrontational events such as martial arts, wrestling, and traditional martial arts.

Throughout the rainy season in Annan, Fang Ying organized military competitions in addition to playing billiards and watching theater.

Watch the fun.

Also train troops by the way.

And Fang Ying received an imperial edict from a few months ago, which called for 30 Guangxi soldiers to be stationed in Anhui, Huai, and Wu provinces.

Fang Ying immediately counted the number of people, withdrew the soldiers in northern Annan and shipped them to Jiangnan.

There is a problem here.

Throughout the Annan rainy season, most of the Guangxi soldiers found wives in Annan. If they were forced to immigrate, I am afraid it would cause moral turmoil in the army.

He had to handle it carefully and make sure that the soldiers were not assigned women before they could move them away.

To change the place of residence, you have to use women to seduce them, give them a family and a career, and give them a lot of money before they are willing to change places. Otherwise, they will mutiny immediately.

Not to mention the barbarians, even the Han soldiers would not go if there was no considerable benefit.

On the one hand, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and on the other hand, the risk of immigration is too great. If the climate is not adapted to the climate, people will die and there is no medical condition.

Third, it is people’s fear of the unknown.

So immigration is very difficult.

Fang Ying is careful and never takes things lightly.
