The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 240 Your plan is too terrible

Nahachu surrendered almost without a fight, which surprised everyone.

Goryeo didn't figure out what happened until the Ming Dynasty troops came to the city.

Uiju City, this important border town, fell in an instant without any precautions.

The doors on Goryeo Road are wide open.

More importantly, Li Chenggui was captured in this battle.

Uiju Fortress was the most important town between Goryeo and Liaodong.

Daming and Naha went to war, and Li Chenggui, as the number one person in the Goryeo military, naturally wanted to come here to take charge.

His original plan was that if Ming Dynasty won, he would send troops from here to take advantage.

You can also take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Daming.

If the Ming Dynasty fails, he will resist Nahachu here and prevent the Northern Yuan army from entering.

Based on Li Jinglong's attitude on the way, he noticed that the other party did not seem to mean to humiliate him.

All the way to the handsome tent, I met Feng Sheng and... Nahachu.

Li Chenggui had no choice but to speculate on his own.

With an army of 200,000, Nahachu, who was so suppressed that Goryeo did not dare to move, actually surrendered?

After the two sat down again, he said again: "Prime Minister Naha abandons the dark side and surrenders to the Ming Dynasty. Our emperor will definitely give you a heavy reward."

Then he quickly came to a conclusion:

Daming wanted to recruit him.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he forced out a wry smile and said:

"Prime Minister, you...hey, you are so ashamed."

Think about Goryeo again...forget it, now that we can't save ourselves, what's the use of thinking about it.

In other words, I am useful to Ming Dynasty.

He can be said to be one person below ten thousand people in Goryeo.

The most critical question now is what happened over there in Naha, and what is Ming's ultimate goal.

However, what he didn't expect was that before the battle situation on the front line could be seen, the Ming army arrived first.

"I wonder what General Li has planned?"

"Haha..." Feng Sheng laughed and said: "General Li, why didn't you say hello when you saw your old friend? Could it be that you don't recognize Naha as the prime minister?"

Li Chenggui was in a daze for a moment, thinking that he had seen the wrong person.

Fang Xiaoru's figure can't help but appear in his mind. He is so outstanding in both writing and martial arts.

Li Chenggui was distraught. At this time, he was basically sure that Naha would surrender without a fight, and the Ming Dynasty's military strength basically remained as before.

Feng Sheng interjected: "You two sit down and talk slowly..."

But no matter how he asked, Li Jinglong just responded with a smile and didn't say a word.

At this time, a shouting voice came from outside the door: "Stop..."

The soldiers of the Ming army who were guarding him would not tolerate him. They raised their weapons and were ready to step forward and give him a blow.

Li Chenggui suddenly woke up. He was not dazzled, and Naha really surrendered.

His outstanding appearance made Li Chenggui couldn't help but take a second look.

Even if there was no news at this time, he could still guess the truth.

The Central Plains is truly a land of great beauty, with heroes emerging in large numbers.

Then he tried to get close to Li Jinglong and inquire about some situations.

If he can be recruited and surrendered, no matter what Daming wants to do in the future, it will be much more convenient.

Naha surrendered.

Only by understanding these two points can he deal with the subsequent negotiations.

As a political creature, his heart suddenly became alive.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get any useful information.

That's a total of 350,000 people, with matching military and food supplies.

So can you take advantage of this and seek some benefits for yourself?

Afterwards, he followed Li Jinglong to the Ming army camp and met with Feng Sheng.

Then Li Jinglong, wearing bright silver armor and an elegant face, walked in:

"The commander-in-chief would like to ask General Li to speak."

One can imagine how wonderful Li Chenggui's expression was when he saw Naha coming out.

Can Goryeo hold on?

Do not make jokes.

Naha Chu naturally knew why he was shocked, and stood up in embarrassment and said:

"General Li, I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances. I'm ashamed."

In other words, what Goryeo will face is the complete Northern Expedition army of Ming Dynasty.

If the war is intense, he will act accordingly.

Looking at the wolf-like Ming army, he was stunned at first, and then laughed crazily:

"Haha... Seeking skin from a tiger, seeking skin from a tiger..."

The most important gateway, Uiju Castle, was lost, and Goryeo had lost its natural barrier to the Ming Dynasty.

The key is that the domestic situation in Goryeo is complicated. The King of Goryeo has lost his majesty and it is not known how many people he can command and mobilize.

He was quite prestigious and could organize a large number of forces to resist, but he was captured without starting a fight.

There are also groups of scholars and civil servants with ambiguous attitudes.

It is estimated that a large number of literati were eager to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, and they naturally moved back to the Central Plains to live.

To use the words in "A Brief History of China", it means that the branches have returned to the main line.

They are pure subjects of the Heavenly Kingdom.

In this case, Gao Li's desire to resist is almost a joke.

It turns out that Goryeo was so fragile when facing the Ming Dynasty.

The King of Goryeo actually wanted to collude with Bei Yuan to resist, and he also wanted to draw chestnuts from the fire... It's really ridiculous.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and for a moment he felt completely hopeless.

His will shouldn't be so fragile.

But Naha surrendered without a fight, which shocked him too much.

That was considered invincible by Goryeo in the past, and it was also the existence that Li Chenggui feared the most.

Once a person's will is shaken, the rest becomes easy.

Then Naha said: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

Completely disintegrating his last bit of resistance.

Li Chenggui let out a long sigh and said, "The King of Goryeo, Xin Yu, is not of the blood of the previous king and has stolen the throne."

"Later, he served both countries at both ends, and everyone in Korea hated him..."

"Today, the Ming Dynasty's King is going to conquer the bandit king. All the people in Korea will eat pots of pulp to welcome the King..."

"Although I, Li Chenggui, am humble, I also understand righteousness and am willing to serve the general."

Feng Sheng laughed and said: "Haha, with General Li's help, great things can be accomplished."

"General, don't worry, our emperor will reward you generously for your merits."

Why wasn't Naha sent to Yingtian? Just to shock the Korean people.

I just didn't expect that the first target would be Li Chenggui, and the effect was surprisingly good.

The plan succeeded, and Feng Sheng was naturally very happy.

Li Chenggui surrendered, and no one in Korea could resist the Ming army.

The subsequent development process was exactly as he imagined.

As the saying goes, people are reflected in the shadow of famous trees, and Lee Sung-gye is the contemporary Goryeo God of War.

His surrender was a fatal blow to the morale of the Goryeo army.

It would be an exaggeration to say that the surrender of King Xinyu of Goryeo did not have as great an impact as it does now.

Li Chenggui's envoy led the way, and the cities along the way watched the wind descend.

Occasionally encountered someone who refused to follow, and basically lost all morale. They could not hold out for a few days before they were defeated.

The Ming army did not stop and went straight to the royal city of Goryeo to open the capital.

Join the navy who arrived first.

If the progress bar is pushed back a few days, the Ming Dynasty will be on land and water and attack Goryeo.

Along the way, the army led by Feng Sheng made a surprise attack on Yizhou and captured Li Chenggui. Along the way, the navy led by Yu Tonghai and Guo Ying went straight to Gyeonggi Bay (Ganghwa Bay) and annihilated the Goryeo navy stationed here.

This place is only forty miles away from Gaijing, the capital of Goryeo, and there is a waterway leading directly to Gaijing.

After annihilating the Goryeo Navy, Yu Tonghai led his army north to support the land attack and delivered food and grass to the lonely army.

Guo Yingze led 40,000 people to Kaijing along the water transport channel, completely cutting off Kaijing's connection with the outside world.

Daming's movement was too fast and sudden, and Gao Li didn't react until then.

Then Kaijing fell into chaos.

Guo Ying did not attack the city directly, but asked people to keep shouting and enumerating the crimes of King Xinyu of Goryeo.

Not of the blood of the former king, he colluded with Bei Yuan and secretly transported grain, grass and slaves to Nahachu.

The Emperor of Heaven was furious and sent troops to attack the unjust thief king.

I hope the people of Goryeo can keep their eyes open and help Master Wang bring order to the chaos and bring the two families back together.

What, you want evidence?

Nahachu has surrendered, otherwise how would we have the strength to attack you.

The news one after another directly confused the people in Kaijing.

What shocked them the most was Naha's surrender.

After all, they were the Beiyuan people who had been their masters for hundreds of years.

It's only been a few days and he's already defeated?

No, to be precise, it was Naha who voted like this?

How powerful is the Ming Dynasty?

After being shocked, the Korean people in Kaijing were divided into two groups.

One group naturally didn't believe it. That was Beiyuan, and there were still 200,000 troops. How could they surrender?

The Ming army must be trying to deceive people.

It is really ridiculous that the Heavenly Kingdom would use such a little trick.

Even many people who originally sympathized with the Ming Dynasty were very angry about this kind of invasion.

But there are still some people who firmly believe it.

The atmosphere created by the Ming Dynasty's thousand-person envoy last year is still there, and scholars and some civil and military personnel are very yearning for the Ming Dynasty.

From the bottom of my heart, I believe that Goryeo should serve the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly and should not have second thoughts.

It was clearly agreed that the two would not help each other, but you actually helped Naha out in private. This is a breach of trust.

Considering the late king’s brilliance and martial prowess, is it possible that you really are not of the late king’s bloodline?

As long as you still have some sense of shame, you should take the initiative to write a letter admitting your mistake and promise to serve the Ming Dynasty faithfully in the future.

As for Naha’s surrender?

Naturally, there is no lie. How dare the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty resist Master Wang? They will definitely surrender.

Even Naha voted, do you still want to resist?

As a result, the two sides had a dispute first.

One side thinks that the other side is traitorous to the country, and the other side thinks that the other side will not repent until death.

King Xinyu of Goryeo was also completely panicked.

Regardless of what went wrong on Nahachu's side, it was a fact that Ming's army suddenly appeared and surrounded Kaijing.

Now comes the problem.

How to do?

beat? He doesn't have the guts.

cast? Less likely.

So, can you send someone to negotiate with the Ming army?

Just when he was panicking, a man stood up.

He is Cui Rong, the servant of the sect who agrees with affairs and the inspector of the Six Paths, a figure who can compete with Li Chenggui in terms of prestige.

Unlike Li Chenggui, who came from a humble background, he came from a noble family and became famous for resisting Japanese pirate invasions.

Later, he was exiled for political reasons and left the center of power.

When Xin Yu ascended the throne, he re-entered the center of power and became prime minister.

In name, his position is even higher than that of Li Chenggui, but his actual power is still much lower than that of Li Chenggui, who holds military and financial power.

The key is that this person is a standard Goryeo careerist who respects neither Beiyuan nor Ming Dynasty.

What he wanted to do was to annex Liaodong and compete with the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

It's just that he was a minority in Goryeo before, and the situation forced him to dare not express his political opinions too much.

So on the surface, he seems to be a staunch royalist.

Now that Kaijing is under siege, he feels that the time is ripe and immediately goes to the palace to persuade Xin Yu.

The Ming Dynasty is ambitious and will never let you go easily. Now the only way is to resist.

"The Ming Dynasty's expedition with troops will not last long... As long as we delay it until winter comes, they will have no choice but to retreat."

Xin Yu was not a fool, and his confidence was strengthened by what he said.

So he handed over all the troops in Beijing and asked him to take charge of defense.

Cui Rong, who held great power, immediately issued martial law, and anyone who dared to surrender would be executed.

And ordered the entire city to be mobilized for defense.

At first, those who were committed to the Ming Dynasty still didn’t believe it, and they continued to do whatever they wanted.

Then Cui Rong proved his determination with actual actions-killing.

Hundreds of people were killed in one day, and more than a dozen noble families were purged.

The effect of this was indeed very obvious, and immediately there was only one voice left.

There is quite a posture of working together to fight against a powerful enemy.

Normally, there would be nothing wrong with him doing this, but...

Cui Rong saw that Ming Dynasty was besieging but not attacking, so he guessed that they were waiting for reinforcements.

But this was just what he wanted, he also wanted to wait for reinforcements.

They had never thought they would be attacked before.

Most of the troops were transferred to the Liaodong front for defense.

Coupled with the troops guarding various important places, the garrison in Kaijing only numbered more than 20,000 people.

With these people, it would be difficult to repel the 40,000 Ming troops outside the city.

But it's more than enough for defense.

When he thought about it, if he held Kaijing and Li Chenggui organized a large army to counterattack outside, he would be able to drive out the Ming Dynasty sooner or later.

only……

When Feng Sheng led the army to the city of Kaijing, and when Naha Chu and Li Chenggui appeared together to persuade them to surrender, Kaijing exploded.

Cui Rong couldn't believe this result. Even if Naha surrendered, you, Li Chenggui, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also rebelled?

But after all, he was someone who had experienced big storms, and he quickly regained his composure.

Immediately ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and no one was allowed to leave home without his order.

At the same time, the army was also ordered to closely monitor the pro-Ming Dynasty personnel to prevent them from colluding internally and externally.

His treatment was anything but unpleasant.

However, he still underestimated the impact of the Ming Dynasty's thousand-person envoy.

So he died due to betrayal by his subordinates.

Pro-Ming elements poured out of their homes, took over the military power in Kaijing, and confiscated Cui Rong and his cronies and exterminated their families.

Then he rushed into the palace, captured King Xinyu of Goryeo, and then opened the city gate to welcome the king's division into the city.

Goryeo was destroyed.

Although there are still stubborn resisters, they, fighting alone, can no longer stop the Ming Dynasty.

In Bilandu, all the members of the Ming Dynasty envoy who heard the news were dumbfounded.

This change is too sudden and too big.

Naha just voted like this? Goryeo died like this?

Isn't this too easy?

Previously, the Ming Dynasty also regarded Nahachu as a life-and-death enemy, and regarded Goryeo as an important force in the Liaodong war, and specially sent a large-scale envoy to lobby.

Is this the result?

Just when everyone was doubting life, one person showed an expression that saw everything through.

That is Fang Xiaoru.

"Killing two birds with one stone, what a good plan."

"Jing Ke, Jing Ke, your plan is too terrible."
