A few days later, North Korean officials across the Yalu River boldly sent a boat to inquire about the situation, and after identifying them, the Ming troops on the river let them pass and allowed them to go ashore while sending troops to protect them.

After inspecting the scene, Kim Mou, a North Korean official on the boat, then reported to the above:

"At the beginning of this month, about thousands of Ming troops marched north from Yizhou, and it is reported that the leader of the army was Wei, the emperor's chamberlain. The main force of the Ming army was the emperor's army from Beijing, they were fully equipped, the armor was fine, and although the number was small, they were full of elite soldiers......

After going north, the Ming army's offensive was like lightning, and it took only three days to penetrate into a hundred miles, and successively captured Changdian and Xiaodian. The Ming army that captured these two places met with little resistance, but in the ensuing attack, a castle garrisoned by pure Jurchen soldiers heroically resisted the repeated attacks of the Ming army, and that was Yongdian Fort.

A loyal Jurchen general named Darda guarded Yongdian, and although he had a strong garrison and fought valiantly, he finally failed, and the entire fort was sacked, and the people and soldiers were slaughtered and killed... Due to the scorching heat, the Ming army was afraid that a large number of dead corpses would pollute the air and cause a plague, so they piled up the corpses on top of the house, and hundreds of houses were burned to ashes, so that all the places were in ruins... A large number of Jianzhou and Han Chinese women were taken captive by the Ming army, and it is said that they will be assigned to the meritorious soldiers of the Ming army..."

This Korean official reported to his king another thing, that is, the actions of the Ming army in the Kwandian area did not seem to have been recognized by the military and political officials of the Liaodong Front of the Ming Dynasty, and the Korean side was not informed at all in advance. And what is terrible is that the military operations of the Ming army are almost completely destructive, and it seems that they have no intention of retaking the Kuandian area at all, but only want to turn these hundreds of miles of land into an uninhabited wasteland.

In addition, in the military operations of the Ming army, a large number of Koreans acted as accomplices, they either led the way for the Ming army, or served as auxiliary coolies, or directly put on armor to serve the Ming army. Even, those Jurchens who were captured by the Ming army did the same thing as the Koreans. But more often than not, it was the Han Chinese who took refuge in the Jurchens, who were frightened by the killing of the Ming army, and in order not to be killed like the Jurchens, they rushed to work hard for the Ming army......

Jin didn't care much about the Han and Jurchens, but he thought that the Ming army's massive drive of Koreans would have a bad effect.

That is, those Koreans who were traitors in the first place would act as accomplices to the Ming army in order to curry favor with the Ming army, and at the same time, in order to obtain more benefits, they would reveal too much to the Ming army about the situation on the other side of the river, so as to induce the Ming army to cross the border and harass Korea.

This is not that Jin is worrying about the sky, but that it exists. Over the years, the Jurchens have repeatedly crossed the border and plundered many North Koreans.

It was precisely because the Koreans under Jianzhou completely surrendered to the Jurchens that they were able to gain a foothold in Jianzhou and survive. Now they have become prisoners of the Ming army, and no one dares to guarantee that they will not induce the Ming army to cross the border again in order to survive. Therefore, the North Korean army on the border should immediately prepare for war to guard against a possible Ming invasion.

However, in the eyes of the North Korean leadership, Kim's worries are obviously nonsense, and they are extremely absurd and ridiculous.

Both the Korean kings and ministers who received the report, as well as the officials and generals of North Pyongan Province, believed that it was completely impossible for the Ming army to cross the border and invade Korea.

Daming is the suzerainty of North Korea, and North Korea is also very deferential to Daming, and it is a great honor for North Korea to be a dog of Daming.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty has the grace to recreate North Korea, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's Heavenly Army, North Korea would have ceased to exist a long time ago, how could they invade North Korea more and more!

Therefore, Jin's report was not only shelved, but he himself was severely reprimanded by his superiors, scolding him for not having such malicious thoughts about the great soldiers.

This is unacceptable and must not be tolerated.

"The use of troops by the Celestial Empire against the Jurchens is exactly what our country is happy to see, how can that little official attack the soldiers of the Celestial Empire so maliciously! If the emperor's close ministers heard it, wouldn't it make the emperor unhappy! ”

At the fierce request of Fudeok and the right Yin Kang Hongli of the Seoul Prefecture, North Pyongan Province arrested and sent Jin, who dared to viciously speculate about the Heavenly Soldiers and divide the relationship between the Celestial Empire and North Korea, to Seoul, and was later convicted and imprisoned.

…………

Gonggong Wei didn't know that the Korean officials he had specially sent to protect would report to his government like this, and his old man was now busy taking over the Jianzhou assets of the Kuandian Fort, and he really didn't have time to pay attention to the imperial vassal across the river.

All movable property, whether it is population or livestock, is moving to Uiju at the fastest rate. All immovable property, whether it be a house or a city wall, or a thatched hut or a well, was set on fire or filled by the father-in-law.

Destroy all but men and livestock, weapons and silver, and everything that can be sold for money.

Tens of thousands of people were effectively mobilized, Jurchens, Koreans, Han Chinese, Mongols... Gathered under the banner of the Ming Imperial Army, united under the command of the Great Tomorrow Envoy Wei Gonggong, and carried out a great demolition project in the Kuandian area like ants moving.

All of this is the credit of Grandpa Wei.

All this is only because the benevolent are invincible.

The remaining three forts were liberated "peacefully".

The day after the capture of Yongdian, Gonggong Wei issued a proclamation on the handwritten "Edict Kuandian Zhubao Jianzhou Civil and Military Officials, etc.", ordering the soldiers to ride horses and distribute it widely.

Wen said: "Yesterday, the soldiers of the country were sent to Yongdian, and the officials, soldiers and civilians in the city held on to the city and resisted the heavenly soldiers. We regret the lives of the people, we can't bear to increase the troops, and first tell the blessings and woes. After a few days of delay, the officials finally disobeyed, and then attacked the city and slaughtered him, and his wife was taken prisoner. It is the original intention of not giving, and it is a last resort. After that, the soldiers were everywhere, and the officials, the army and the people resisted and did not surrender, and they could learn from it forever. ”

On the proclamation, Gonggong Wei sadly said that he was "delayed for a few days" and had to be forced to attack the city and kill, but in fact, there was not an hour from persuasion to siege.

And the killing was done in just one night.

The proclamation flew like long wings all over the Kuandian area, and the bloody fact that Yongdian was slaughtered shook the hearts of the rest of the Jurchen defenders of the forts.

They were all terrified.

Either the whole city will be slaughtered, or Kaesong will surrender.

The choice given by Gonggong Wei is simple and not difficult to choose, in the face of the absolute strength of the Ming Imperial Army, anyone knows how to choose.

After knowing the news that Yongdian had been slaughtered, Hu Lihai, the defender of the White Banner, immediately led the entire fort army and civilians to surrender.

After learning that Dadian had surrendered, Gonggong Wei immediately sent people to tell the soldiers not to kill innocents, not to plunder wealth, and not to burn houses, so that the soldiers and civilians of Yuzhubao Jianzhou could perceive the great grace and abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

This order came very timely and very effective.

When the Ming Emperor's soldiers laid the main fort in Kuan and put on a strong offensive formation, the defender of the fort Guerjia Wei Qi was bound by his subordinates and escorted out of the city.

Tied out of the city along with Wei Qi were his two sons, Zhao Butai and Ao Bai.
