Chapter 15 The Korean Crisis

In Sinuiju, the sun has already set quietly, and a bright moon hangs in the air! The crowd who have been busy all day has already fallen asleep! From time to time, there will be two shy ** sounds in a certain room!

Suddenly there was a roar from the earth, and a stream of cavalry followed the sound and ghostly appeared in this quiet town! For a moment, the fire, terror, and cries were unconscious!

Although it is late at night, the palace at this time is still full of singing and dancing, and there is a beautiful sound!

Ever since the Mandate of Heaven incident occurred in the Qing Dynasty, the Korean people seemed to have seen the dawn of hope! In particular, when the news of the signing of the peace treaty between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty came, the Koreans seemed to see the dawn of hope! They had been oppressed by the Qing Dynasty for many years, and the unpaid taxes had already exhausted the country! As soon as the agreement between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty was signed, the Korean king could not wait to call the Ming Dynasty a tribute again, and in the eyes of the Koreans, the gentle Ming Dynasty was many times better than the Tiger and Wolf Qing Dynasty!

"Report! Great Thing, Big Thing, Big Thing, Big Thing!" Just as everyone in the main hall was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and joy, a small colonel appeared on the main hall covered in blood!

"What, hurry, say slowly, say slowly!" Li Brown was most afraid of hearing bad news, and even his voice trembled a little!

"Back to the king, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty have broken through Sinuiju, and now they are aggressively pressing towards Ganghwa Road!" replied loudly with a big gasp!

"What? What are you talking about?" Li Brown didn't know if he hadn't heard clearly or if he had been frightened, so he hurriedly asked again!

"King Hui is a Qing soldier, and he is the iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty!" the colonel said again!

"Are you sure it's the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty?" Bachelor Wu Daji quickly stood up and confirmed!

"Lord Hui, it must be the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the banners and the costumes can't be wrong, they are all people, and they can't count them!"

"Smack!" Li Brown in the main seat was so frightened that he collapsed on the seat! The singer in the hall quickly knelt down and kept shouting for mercy, and the faces of the ministers were also full of horror!

They understand too well what the Eight Banners Army is saying this time, and the betrayal of the DPRK in the Mandate of Heaven Incident will absolutely not be forgiven by them! The terror of the Eight Banners has already been taught to these ministers!

"What should I do? Wu Aiqing, you quickly think of a way for the widow!" Li Brown, who came back to his senses, began to think about his retreat, and quickly set his eyes on Wu Daji, who was standing under His Highness!

Wu Daji's own heart was actually like a pot of porridge! He understood that the revenge of the Qing Dynasty would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect that it would come so quickly! After all, it had only been a year! It's just that Wu Daji would never tell Li Brown what he thought in his heart, and that would only make him die sooner!

"King, the top priority now is to quickly recruit young and strong men from all over the country to join the army to resist the Qing soldiers!"

"Yes, yes! You're right! The widow immediately ordered!"

"Great King! The minister thinks that we have absolutely no chance of winning against the Qing Dynasty independently! We should immediately send someone to Beijing to ask for help and ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to rescue us!" Wu Daji thought about all the methods he could think of now!

"Yes! Yes! Lord Wu is right, now we should immediately ask for help like Daming!" Wu Daji's words were instantly unanimously supported by all the ministers present!

"Then Aiqing hurry up and handle this matter for me, the widow is preparing to hunt to the south!" At this time, Li Brown was full of thoughts about how to save his own life, and as for saving North Korea, it was secondary!

"The minister will never live up to the king's trust!" Wu Daji knelt down and kowtowed!

At the same time as Wu Daji got up and went to Beijing, Jianghua Road had been broken by the Qing soldiers, and none of the 30,000 troops defending the city were spared.

The atrocities of the Qing soldiers in Ganghwa-do completely shocked the Korean defenders, and everywhere the Qing troops went, they all looked forward to the wind! In less than seven days, Seoul in Korea was occupied by the Qing army, and the timid Li Brown had already taken refuge on Jeju Island, hoping for the rescue of the Ming Dynasty!

Daming, Beijing City. At this time, Chongzhen was discussing with his group of ministers how to encircle and suppress Gao Yingxiang and other rogues.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, said out of the class.

Chongzhen didn't answer, and waved his hand to sign.

"Your Majesty, yesterday the Ministry of War received an urgent report from Tashan for 800 miles. The Tartars marched south to attack Korea. Now it has broken through Sinuiju, Ganghwa Province and other prefectures and counties in North Korea. King Yi Palm-chin of Joseon sent a scholar U Da-je to Beijing to ask for help. How should the Ministry of War reply, please ask Your Majesty to make a judgment!" After speaking, Chen Xinjia hurriedly made a big salute.

This Wu Daji is a civil official with a good head, and when he came to Beijing, he did not go straight to the palace, but visited Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhou Yanru, a cabinet scholar, and Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch. It can be said that every Wu Daji has prepared a generous gift. Wu Daji understands very well whether Daming is willing to send troops to North Korea, and the words of these people still carry a lot of weight.

"North Korea?" Chongzhen pressed his forehead with his hand, this tartar had been stopped for almost a year, Chongzhen was a little about to forget it, and suddenly such a thing popped up, which made Chongzhen very sad. "Xuan Wu Daji is here!" Chongzhen decided that no matter how he met first, it was not too late for Wu Daji to make a decision.

"Xuan Wu Daji is coming!" As soon as he saw that the emperor was going to summon Wu Daji, Wang Chengen hurriedly raised his throat and shouted, for fear that the emperor would regret it if he shouted late.

"Emperor Daming, help! Emperor Daming, help!" Wu Daji fell to the ground with a puff as soon as he entered the hall under the leadership of the guards, and his mouth kept muttering about help.

Chongzhen made Wu Daji stunned, and he had to say, "Aiqing, please get up!"

Where is Wu Daji willing to get up, and quickly said. Put the Qing Dynasty how to attack Korea. How North Korea is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and how it is now bullied by the Qing Dynasty, is explained in detail, so that all the courtiers present listen to the pitiful, even Chongzhen seems to be a little moved by what he said.

"I am deeply saddened by this misfortune in North Korea. North Korea is a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, and I have the obligation to rescue the Ming Dynasty, but sending troops to rescue is a major matter, and I still have to discuss it with the courtiers! Aiqing should go back to the pavilion first and wait for news!" Chongzhen knows very well in his heart that he doesn't have the strength to rescue the North Korean Ming Dynasty now, but if he doesn't save him if he dies, he will lose face as a big country, so now Chongzhen is in a dilemma.
