Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 149 Pyongyang’s great victory! Whip the corpse Wanli!
"Have you known for a long time that the Japanese slaves would open the north gate of Pyongyang City, and you deliberately failed to report it?"

Song Yingchang was not polite. When he saw Zhang Chonghui, he directly asked him this question. Anticipating that the other party would make excuses, he even directly 'blocked the road' and said:

"Do you know that you are delaying the military plane! Delaying important military and national affairs! Such a heinous crime! Even the lives of the ten members of your Zhang family are not enough to compensate!"

Faced with this appalling threat from the 'Ten Clans', Zhang Chonghui asked calmly: "So?"

"So?" Song Yingchang's eyes widened and he asked scolding: "You still have the nerve to ask why? Why didn't you report what you knew?"

"What? Didn't I report the knowledge? Haha, it's so funny!" Zhang Chonghui said with a smile:
"I said early in the morning that General Zu's words were not to disturb the morale of the army. I was trying to persuade him. As a result, I was imprisoned by Admiral Li for two days. This matter was witnessed by everyone.

You people in high positions are proud of yourself, refuse to listen to good advice, and ultimately miss the opportunity. Now you still want to put the responsibility on me, a white man who is "who only serves the country"? "

"Don't ramble!" Song Yingchang knew that Zhang Chonghui was deliberately 'mixing up' the topic, so he brought the topic back and asked again: "I'm asking you, why didn't you report what you knew!?"

Zhang Chonghui didn't hide, and asked 'deliberately': "Why do you know that you don't want to retaliate?"

"Of course the Japanese army will open the gates of Pyongyang!" Song Yingchang said coldly.

Seeing Zhang Chonghui's leaving figure, Song Yingchang couldn't help but secretly said with joy:

Now that things have happened, Zhang Chonghui has definitely taken the blame. However, as the person involved, Zhang Chonghui did not have any special reaction.

Anyway, now that things have come to an end, Xiao Xifei has said what he said!

The sound of artillery fire in Pyongyang City finally exploded!
Admiral Li Rusong officially ordered the entire army to take the initiative to attack Pyongyang City!
Yes, in this battle, Li Rusong did not prepare to 'siege', but chose to 'attack' directly!
Li Rusong knew very well that the Ming army could not afford to surround him in this battle!
A siege would take a long, long time, and Pyongyang City is not Ningxia City. Ningxia City is within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. After all, it is within the territory of 'home', so it doesn't matter if the siege takes longer.

In order to make his "statement" more "reasonable", Song Yingchang directly wrote the idea that "Zhang Chonghui harbored a plot to retaliate against the country" in the memorial.

Therefore, the 'explanation' given to His Majesty the Emperor can only be 'given' by one of the three of them!
It was naturally impossible for Song Yingchang to get him in, let alone General Li Rusong who was fighting!

I heard that even the emperor is like this! You are a descendant of Zhang Shentong! Of course he is also a child prodigy! The child prodigy has a lot of eyes. What if he is born... and wants to "avenge" his grandfather and take revenge for "harming the country"?

……

It must not be delayed until the Japanese troops in Wangjing discover it and rush to support!
Once the Japanese troops are dragged into Wangjing, or the Japanese troops stationed nearby come to support, then the Japanese reinforcements will join forces with the Japanese troops in Pyongyang City to attack. By then, it will be even more difficult for the Ming army. !

……

Zhang Chonghui, however, shook his head directly and pretended to be stupid: "Xiao Xifei never told me that they would open the door, how should I know?"

"Zhang Chonghui, do you think that because you are young, no one will believe that you were the one responsible? You don't know, right? Ever since the demon book case, no one in the court has regarded you as a normal child.

Everyone knows that when they met Xiao Xifei and other Japanese envoys that day, there were only three Ming Dynasty people, Song Yingchang, Li Rusong, and Zhang Chonghui, in the camp.

……

In the next few days, North Korea experienced a 'brief' calm, which was the calm before the storm.

However, what Song Yingchang didn't know was that another "Zou Cheng" covering the "King Seal of Joseon" had already crossed the Yalu River first!
This memorial was destined to reach the cabinet, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and the hands of His Majesty the Emperor before Song Yingchang's memorial!

Li Rusong knew very well that this battle had to be fought quickly! allow! ruthless!

After realizing this, Song Yingchang instantly became overjoyed again. He smiled again and said:

As for whether His Majesty the Emperor believes it or not, that is a matter for His Majesty the Emperor.

It’s not impossible! right? Little prodigy Zhang? "

etc! Zhang Chonghui...isn't fifteen yet?
Song Yingchang also just realized it. He didn't know when it started. It seemed that he had not seen the other party as a 'child' for a long time...

In a moment of "panic", the army was in disarray. This was the biggest reason for this "missed opportunity"!
Song Yingchang knew this, but now that the mistake had been made, the reason no longer mattered!
The most important thing now is to give an explanation to the superiors, and even more to give an 'explanation' to His Majesty the Emperor!
This 'argument' must be justified. After all, this is to be presented to His Majesty the Emperor.

If you didn’t say it, then you did!

Therefore, this 'chosen person' can only be Zhang Chonghui!
Song Yingchang no longer cared whether Xiao Xifei had told Zhang Chonghui that the Japanese army would open the gates of Pyongyang to welcome the Ming army.

Let the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty take a good look at how much you, the Korean envoy, and the admiral, General Li, are able to shirk responsibility in order to shirk responsibility! "

"It's best to let all the civil and military ministers of the DPRK know that it was me, Zhang Chonghui, a deputy diplomatic envoy under the age of fifteen, who caused the army aiding the DPRK to make such an 'obvious' mistake!

After all, if such a good opportunity is missed, someone has to take responsibility!
Although the 'root cause' of the problem was not just that the Ming army did not know in advance that 'the Japanese slaves would open the gates of Pyongyang to welcome them'.

After much thought, Song Yingchang decided that he could only start with meeting Xiao Xifei on the first day of the new year!

This time, Song Yingchang seemed to have made the right bet, because when he saw Zhang Chonghui's face not only turned cold, he didn't even talk back, but turned around and left.

"Song Jinglue." Zhang Chonghui smiled, provocatively: "Everything depends on evidence. Do you have any evidence?"

"You!" Song Yingchang gritted his teeth, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute. It was also at this moment that he suddenly remembered something!

The more reason is that the Ming army did not expect that the 'welcome ceremony' of the Japanese slaves would be so grand and strange.

"Let go..." Song Yingchang naturally didn't believe it: "You are talking nonsense! Xiao Xifei must have told you! You are obviously considering that Admiral Li and I cannot understand the Japanese language, and you deliberately concealed it!"

But Pyongyang City is different. Not only is Pyongyang City in "someone else's house", there are also many Japanese troops stationed in "Wangjing" behind Pyongyang City.

Until the early morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month in the twenty-first year of Wanli.

"Yes, everything depends on evidence." Song Yingchang also smiled: "I have no evidence, but don't worry! Your 'crime' will definitely be written down in the military information I submit to the Holy Emperor!"

Song Yingchang had written it anyway, and how many civil servants in the DPRK and China had not done this before?

"Boy, are you playing with me? You are too young!"

Song Yingchang's meaning was very obvious. He was telling Zhang Chonghui - "No matter what, you will bear the blame!"

The written memorial was rushed to the capital.

"Song Jinglue, I'm not telling you, your structure is really too small. Since you are so determined to make me take the blame, then go and complain to the Holy One!" Zhang Chonghui looked indifferent and even said:

The war has begun!
It is worth mentioning that before this battle, Admiral Li issued a very interesting order.

That is - during the war, subordinates are not allowed to cut off their heads!

You must know that the reward for leading military merit in a war must be calculated based on "heads". Otherwise, if you just talk about it without any evidence, the court will not recognize this merit.

But if everyone is rushing to cut off heads, who will attack the city? Who is going to die?

As soon as this order came out, Li Rusong encountered opposition from many of his generals.

However, in response to these objections, Li Rusong only made one condition - the first to reach the city would be rewarded with five thousand taels of silver!
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and the morale of the soldiers who were inspired suddenly soared!
After all, that’s five thousand taels!
But... the Qiu Ba people seem to have forgotten that their admiral doesn't seem to be very fond of keeping his word...

……

On the eighth day of the first lunar month in North Korea, artillery fire rang out all day and night.

The sound of bombing was so loud that even Yizhou could hear it clearly, which shows how tragic the war situation was!
War involves death, and in this first month of the new year, countless Ming army soldiers died on this foreign land.

At this moment, their family and friends may still be in their distant hometown of Ming Dynasty, looking forward to their return.

……

In the twenty-first year of the Wanli calendar, it is the ninth day of the first lunar month.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun didn't know that war had already started in Pyongyang City, and he didn't care much about when the war would start. He believed that Li Rusong had his own arrangements for all this.

It is worth mentioning that although Emperor Wanli did not like Li Chengliang, he liked Li Rusong very much.

As an emperor, what Emperor Wanli likes the most is Li Rusong, an arrogant general who offends people everywhere, doesn't win much military morale, and has real abilities!
Emperor Wanli actually didn't care much about the Korean War. At this moment, Zhu Yijun only felt embarrassed.

Yes, Chun Chun is embarrassed.

"Song Yingchang is an idiot!"

Zhu Yijun was so angry that he slapped the memorial on the table and said angrily: "Isn't he stupid! Why would he bring up such a 'disgraceful' thing during the war? The shame will be thrown to North Korea!"

Zhu Yijun also convinced Song Yingchang, and made it clear that the problem was caused by the army's failure to manage it well, and actually put the responsibility on Zhang Chonghui!

That’s all! After all, Zhu Yijun also believed that Zhang Chonghui was suspected of "deliberate revenge"! But the key is! The king of North Korea and all the North Korean ministers actually knew about this matter!

It's better now. Originally, because the post of 'Guerrilla Captain' was awarded to Shen Weijing last time, the North Koreans felt that China had treated Vice Envoy Zhang badly.

This time Zhang Chonghui made a 'proposal' to the admiral Li Rusong in front of so many people, but was imprisoned. Later, he was 'falsely accused' by Song Yingchang, the military envoy, for holding the Japanese slave envoy to clarify the 'misunderstanding'.

Isn't this clearly telling the North Koreans that working for the Ming Dynasty will not end well? !
Zhu Yijun was so angry that he even regretted why he rewarded Shen Weijing but not Zhang Chonghui last time because of his "moment of temper".

This operation is completely shooting yourself in the foot!
"Cunning! He is so cunning!"

Zhu Yijun was furious and couldn't help but glance at the other memorial on the table, which was stamped with the seal of the King of Korea.

The content of the 'objective plea' above was written in the 'name' of the North Korean King Ri Ho.

But Zhu Yijun could guess the handwriting and writing style with his eyes closed. It was written by Zhang Chonghui!

"He actually hooked up with the king of North Korea!" Zhu Yijun stood up in anger, almost without thinking, and blurted out:

"If you want to imitate Wu Zixu, you can't do it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Chen Ju on the side was shocked, but even Zhu Yijun himself was stunned...

For a moment, the atmosphere became weird.

Zhu Yijun stared blankly and stood for a long time. It was not until someone came to tell him that his son Zhu Changxun came to pay him respects that the 30-year-old Emperor sat down again in a daze.

"Chen Ju." Zhu Yijun summoned Chen Ju and asked, "Why doesn't Zhang Chonghui come back?"

Chen Ju replied: "Returning to the emperor, Luo Sigong wrote that the reason Zhang Chonghui gave was that he had not found his uncle Zhang Yunxiu yet, and said that he would wait for the army to recover Pyongyang City and go to the city to find his uncle before coming back."

"What kind of uncle are you looking for?" Zhu Yijun said excitedly:

"Have Luo Sigong escort him back immediately! Don't let him stay in North Korea anymore!"

"Don't let him get close to the King of North Korea!"

……

The order was given and Zhu Changxun also came in.

"Father, you don't look good. Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhu Changxun has grown taller and fatter, and he seems to be more sensible. At least he knows how to care about his old father's health.

Seeing that his precious son was so sensible, Zhu Yijun felt warm in his heart, and the original 'uneasiness' dissipated a lot.

"Xun'er, you are really becoming more and more sensible." Zhu Yijun said happily.

After being praised by his old father, if he had followed the past, Zhu Changxun would have puffed up his chest proudly. However, this time he changed from his normal state and said with a grimace:

"How can I be as sensible as the Emperor's brother? Everyone praises the Emperor's brother for being diligent, sensible and thrifty, and everyone scolds me for being lazy, naughty and extravagant. Alas..."

Such words, coming from the mouth of a child less than eight years old, seem wrong at first sight.

Zhu Yijun guessed almost instantly that it was Zheng Mengjing who asked his son to say these words.

Recently, Zhu Yijun's beloved concubine was scolded by the ministers of the DPRK again.

The reason was that Concubine Zheng was cruel and secretly deducted the Crown Prince's living expenses, causing the poor Crown Prince to live in poverty and make life difficult.

Zhu Yijun didn't know if Concubine Zheng had really treated his eldest son Zhu Changluo badly. He didn't even ask anyone to investigate the matter.

He probably didn't care what the result would be, and he seemed to be afraid that the result he found was true and would disappoint him.

"Xun'er, go back and tell your mother and concubine that I believe her."

……

After sending his son away, Zhu Yijun could finally rest for a while.

Zhu Yijun hasn't been busy recently, but he doesn't know why. He always feels that something is wrong everywhere since the "Ming-Japanese Negotiations" began.

"Now that things have happened, my face has been torn. It doesn't matter what we negotiated."

Zhu Yijun comforted himself in his mind. In a daze, he sat directly on the dragon chair and dozed off.

……

Zhu Yijun woke up.

But after he woke up, he noticed something strange...

Why is it so dark all around?

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

A "somewhat familiar" voice sounded above his head. Zhu Yijun looked around, but he couldn't see anything. There was only pitch black in front of him.

"Where is this? Why is it so dark?"

Zhu Yijun asked anxiously, and raised his hand to grab it forward. However, his hands were blocked by 'something' in front of him. Apparently there was a wooden board or other obstruction in front of him!
"Where is this?"

Zhu Yijun asked again. This time he found that his voice echoed. Apparently he was locked in a closed space!

"Who! Who is so bold and dares to lock me up! Who!" Zhu Yijun panicked, but as an emperor, he still said harsh words at this moment:

"Who is seeking death? I am the emperor!"

Just when Zhu Yijun was pushing the shield in front of him in a panic! That voice sounded again!

This time, the sound was 'outside'!
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Just wait a little longer and I will be able to dig you out soon."

Some familiar voices made Zhu Yijun suddenly excited: "Zhang... Zhang Chonghui!? You! What did you say? Dig me... out?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Chonghui's voice said again: "I will be able to dig you out soon."

Zhu Yijun was shocked. A terrible 'thought' suddenly appeared. He subconsciously asked: "What are you poaching me for!?"

"Hehehehe." Zhang Chonghui's laughter rang out, and he said sinisterly: "Of course I will dig you up and flog your corpse!"

"No!" Zhu Yijun shouted hurriedly!

"No?" What sounded this time was no longer Zhang Chonghui's voice, but Zhang Juzheng's:

"Your Majesty, you were the one who wanted to beat me to death first. This is called tit for tat! Also, your coffin board is about to be broken!"

As 'Zhang Juzheng' finished speaking, the darkness in front of Zhu Yijun's eyes was gradually replaced by bright light!

Realizing that the 'coffin board' was about to be opened, Zhu Yijun panicked!

"No sir..."

……

"It's broken! Your Majesty! It's broken!"

In his ears, there was Chen Ju's excited voice.

Zhu Yijun sat up straight suddenly. He was sweating profusely and then realized that he was just having a nightmare.

"What the hell!" The frightened Emperor was very angry. As soon as he woke up, he yelled directly at Chen Ju:
"How inappropriate is it to make noises? Are there any rules?"

After being scolded by His Majesty the Emperor, Chen Ju should have knelt down immediately to apologize.

However, this time, Chen Ju seemed to be dazzled by joy, and just kept saying "announcement of good news":

"Your Majesty! Pyongyang City! It's Pyongyang City that has been destroyed! Eight hundred miles of urgent delivery! Our army has defeated Pyongyang City! This battle is a great victory!"
