The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 479 Beheading for public display, as a warning to others (subscription required)
"overbearing?"

Mo Xiaobai stopped his chopsticks playfully, narrowed his eyes: "Old Prime Minister, may I ask you a few questions?"

"Don't dare, you say."

"Since I mobilized soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, have you ever spent half a penny of your Korean money on food and drink?"

"This, of course not."

"Well, I remember that when we agreed to let you build the road, Mr. Song Yingchang Jinglue also decided to give you a subsidy of [-] silver. Is there such a thing?"

"Exactly, for this I am also very grateful to the admiral and Mr. Jinglue."

"Well, we fought the battles, and we gave money to build the roads. Even the post stations and warehouses were repaired by us Huaxia people. Tell me yourself, how much effort has Daming contributed so far?"

Mo Xiaobai spoke with a cold face, and then said with no refusal: "It is true that I came today to discuss this matter with you, but even if it is a discussion, you can only listen to it, so you don't understand the truth?"

Facing Mo Xiaobai's pressing questions, Liu Chenglong twisted his face, and said bitterly: "But the admiral wants to collect all the expenses of Yizhou, and the city will be closed for several months. How can this be done?"

"Why can't it be done? The war is urgent, and all food in Yizhou will be distributed according to needs, so as to increase the chances of victory for our Ming army. If North Korea refuses to agree, does it mean that we don't want to see Daming win?"

Mo Xiaobai looked at the King of Joseon on the other side with his eyes, and showed a sarcasm: "As for the closure of the city, it is more reasonable. As the prime minister, you don't even know if there are any Japanese spies in Yizhou. How is it possible to let them come and go in and out of Yizhou?"

"Spy, it wasn't already"

"Already what? Were they eradicated? The Japanese were eradicated last time. Do you think the only spies are Japanese?"

"Admiral's remarks, isn't it saying that my North Korean subjects are selling their ancestors for glory, and their hearts are for the Japanese?"

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true."

Mo Xiaobai clicked his tongue and was about to tell Liu Chenglong that his decision would not be changed, when a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Then a team of Jianzhou guards swarmed in, and the leader was Li Jianuer.

"grown ups!"

The Liaodong Army never put North Koreans in their eyes, and Nurhachi followed suit. He came straight from the palace hall, stood still in front of Mo Xiaobai, and said, "The last general just caught a dozen North Koreans who were planning to leave the city. He has put them outside the temple."

Mo Xiaobai thought that it was time for Nurhachi to come, and immediately waved his hand: "Bring it up."

As soon as the words fell, a group of Jianzhou soldiers walked in outside the hall escorting a dozen North Korean players.

The reason why Mo Xiaobai could recognize the players at a glance was naturally because the lords of this group of people were dressed in a way that was quite incompatible with the current North Korean subjects.

"Go for an interrogation, I hope there will be a result before I finish eating." Mo Xiaobai glanced at Liu Chenglong, who was a little uncomfortable beside him, and picked up the chopsticks again.

At this moment, the entire hall except him, including Li Yan, unconsciously shifted their eyes from the food to the center of the hall.

Liu Chenglong saw that Mo Xiaobai did not intend to show North Korea any face at all, so he could only sigh, and turned to look at those North Korean players with angry eyes:
"You guys, why are you leaving the city today?"

"We were bored in the city and wanted to go hunting, but we bumped into the Ming cavalry and were tied up for no reason."

"On a freezing day, you guys go out hunting?"

When Liu Chenglong heard the player's explanation, the anger in his heart became even worse: "People like you who are vain for the people of North Korea, even if the Fa is executed on the spot, it is not a pity to die!"

Hearing Liu Chenglong's murderous words, a player immediately stared: "What are you going to do? We are nobles with titles. Do we need the prime minister's approval to go hunting?"

"That's right, my king must not listen to his nonsense, we are just out hunting, why are we not worthy of being Korean citizens?"

"The city is in a mess, there is nothing good, why don't we go out and find something to eat by ourselves?"

"This is Uiju in North Korea, why did the Ming army arrest us, let us go!"

A farce, staged amidst the quarrel.

Li Yan looked at these people and felt in his heart that what they said made sense, but when he looked at Mo Xiaobai who was sitting across from him, he didn't dare to speak for them.

Looking at these people, Liu Chenglong forced himself to argue, and besides anger, there was infinite sadness in his heart.North Korea has reached the point where the country is ruined and the family is ruined, but there are still so many people who don't know right from wrong.

As for Yilian Chenxi, Bai Hualin and others who came back to Yizhou for the first time, they were also stunned by the scene in front of them.

Is this the state banquet of North Korea?

It was as noisy as the vegetable market, but no one stopped it?
The only one who was not affected by the farce was Mo Xiaobai, who swallowed the fish in his mouth and picked up the wine bottle, still eating with gusto.

When this group of people quarreled for a while, the unbearable Liu Chenglong finally got mad:

"Pull it out and behead it for public display!"

"Anyone who goes out of the city to cooperate with the enemy in Yizhou City will have the same fate!"

After shouting twice, Liu Chenglong turned and looked at Joseon King Li Yan: "My lord, I think the war is urgent, and I need to agree with the Admiral of Daming, close the six gates of Yizhou, hand over the internal and external defenses to Daming, and hand over all the food to the army of Daming. , implement distribution according to needs in the city."

After finishing speaking, Liu Chenglong's feet softened and he almost fell to his knees.

He knows what the decisions he makes mean to North Korea.But Li Yan didn't know it, or he didn't care at all, but nodded repeatedly:
"According to Aiqing and Admiral's wishes, Yizhou will also be handed over to the Ming army for protection."

Seeing Li Yan nodding his head in agreement without even thinking about it, Liu Chenglong had nothing to say, turned around and saluted Mo Xiaobai: "I'm old and ill, so Yizhou will ask the admiral."

"Row."

Mo Xiaobai took a sip of his drink, nodded and said, "Nurhachi, from today's uprising state, the city defense will be handed over to your Jianzhou Guard, do you know what to do?"

"The last general understands!" Nurhachi had no choice, and immediately took orders.

"Perform well. As long as this matter is done well, I will consider letting Jianzhou Wei fight independently and gain military exploits."

Mo Xiaobai was not afraid that Nurhachi would be disobedient, because the order in his hand was what Nurhachi and Li Rusong wanted most.And with Nurhachi's means, it is also very interesting to let him rectify Yizhou.

"It's getting late, if your majesty has nothing else to do, this admiral will take his leave first."

"Admiral please go ahead, please go ahead." Li Yan didn't dare to force Mo Xiaobai to stay, so he could only get up and apologize.

When Mo Xiaobai and his party walked out of the hall, they happened to see the scene of the execution of the dozen or so North Korean players.

"You deserve it, you still want to tip off the news!"

Seeing this, Bai Hualin complained immediately, and Shang Shan Ruoshui also nodded: "These North Korean players definitely don't want us to win too easily, they want to trick us in the dungeon."

Even Xiao Yue couldn't help but say, "Why did we have such a pig teammate? How angry."

A ray of morning light turned his eyes slightly, and said: "There is nothing to be angry about. Since Nurhachi is in charge of Yizhou city defense during the day, North Korean players will soon suffer the consequences."
