Chapter 329: Civil Strife in Goryeo (2)
Between life and death, Li Zixuan calmed down a lot, he understood that the other party would not kill him, but it was not easy to talk about things with him.
Cold sweat broke out on Li Zixian's forehead, he knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible, and he couldn't delay it any longer, otherwise he would get into big trouble.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to kill you. What you should consider is not whether you will be killed, but whether the entire Li family will be uprooted. Xiao Yi knew that Li Zixuan was struggling in his heart, in this case, he was not in a hurry, anyway, he had enough time.
When the whole family was mentioned, Li Zixuan couldn't help but be cautious, and he said tentatively: "Sir, let's say, what does the emperor of the Han Dynasty want, and what I do, the emperor of your country will be satisfied." ”
"Our army of 70,000 has arrived at Tamna Island. You can go to war or you can't go to war, you see? ”
Xiao Yi said it very easily, that is, to find out what kind of courage this Li Zixuan is, and of course he also knows what the result will be after choosing this guy.
Actually, this time it was given Li Zixuan a chance, it depends on whether this guy can grasp it, after all, the two noble girls are in the imperial capital, and if the Li family is uprooted in this case, it will obviously cause unnecessary trouble.
"I hope that the Han will not participate in the war, I don't know what the conditions of your country are?" At the last moment, Li Zixuan still chose the Jin State, and finally went to the road of destruction, he firmly believed that he could defeat Tuo Junjing by relying on his own strength, and he did not need the help of the Han army.
"Tamna Island belongs to the Han Dynasty forever, and 20,000 laborers are sent for three years or 30,000 laborers for two years to build military ports and cities. Of course, we will pay 1 million yuan for the labor fee, I wonder if this condition is too much? ”
"It's not too much, then 30,000 laborers for two years." In Li Zixuan's view, the sooner it ends, the better, so as to save the future Jin Guo suspecting that he is stepping on two boats. He smiled and said, "You don't need money, you can just give Goryeo 500,000 stone grain." ”
Since this Li Zixuan has chosen a dead end, there is no need for Xiao Yi to talk about it anymore, he said with a smile: "I hope the labor can be in place as soon as possible." ”
After Xiao left, Li Zixian, who was scared into a cold sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, he was in a much better mood, as long as the Han army did not participate, then this battle of Kaijing would be a sure victory.
Li Zixian, who had no worries, began to prepare for the battle to seize the palace, and the time was focused on the Chinese New Year's Eve of December 29, the first year of Shenlong, when the 20,000-strong army of Park Zhengzhong entered Kaijing City from Yi Gangmen, and then cooperated with the Li family army to seize the palace.
Just when Li Zi dispatched troops to dispatch generals, the monk Miaoqing met with Wang Kai, the lord of Goryeo, and also told Tuo Junjing that the Han army had 10,000 troops ready to go, and if the battle was unfavorable, the Han army would participate in the war. Of course, the main thing is that we participate in the war, by the way, the Jin army has promised to turn back at the most critical moment, to copy the back road in the middle of Pu Zheng, to put it bluntly, all the troops will enter Kaijing, and the bloody battle will be carried out in the city.
Tuo Junjing said very cautiously: "The royal family guards have 5,000, our department has 20,000, plus the Jin family's 10,000, that is, the total strength is 35,000, and the Li family has 10,000, Park Zhengzhong has 20,000, and the total strength is 30,000. ”
"Don't worry, the poor monks will mobilize the people of the city to participate in the royal defense war, at least thousands of young people will participate in the battle, as long as the city gate is closed, we will win. Of course, if the situation is not right, we can open the city gate and let 10,000 Han troops enter the city to participate in the battle, and the victory is in hand. When the Han army sends troops, we need to pay a price, and it is better for us to solve it ourselves. ”
All Miaoqing had to do was to Tuo Junjing and Li Zixun were both defeated, how could they easily let the Han army enter the war?
"Okay, let's take this step, I hope Zhao Kuangbu will not get involved, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to survive if the Han army does not participate in the war, I hope the master can persuade the Han army to contain Zhao Kuangbu."
Zhao Kuang has always been a unique existence, it is the invasion of the Song faction, but Tong Li Zichang and Tuo Junjing have a good relationship, and there are 10,000 troops in their hands, but it is difficult to say which side he will help, because the wooing of both sides has failed.
Miaoqing didn't care about Zhao Kuangbu at all, and he firmly believed that Zhao Kuang would never risk entering Kaijing. Even if you come in, no matter which side you help, there are 20,000 Han troops outside to suppress the formation, and you can win the battle.
Things have come to this point, it doesn't matter whether he can win over Zhao Kuang or not, now he has to send arrows, and in this case, Tuo Junjing can't take care of it so much, and he can only go all out.
Kaijing, the capital of Goryeo, is similar to most of the cities of the Song Kingdom, with high walls, nine gates, four side gates, and a water gate. It's just that this city doesn't have a moat, and despite this, it's difficult to enter the city without large siege equipment.
Now that the war is imminent, the entire Kaijing is full of gunpowder, and the east, west, north and south gates are all sealed and closed to the outside world. It is impossible for either Tuo Jungyong or Park Jungzhong to enter the city from the main gate, but Li Dongqi, the guard who guards the northwest gate, is destined to open the door for Park Jungjung, and Wang Zhi, the guard of the southeast gate, is from the royal family, so it is not difficult for Tuo Junjing to enter the city. The situation in the city is complicated, whether it is the national abbot Li Zixun or the national lord Wang Kai, it is difficult to control the overall situation, and even the city gate is not something that can be controlled.
If two years ago, Li Zixuan would still be able to control the entire capital, but under the operation of Miaoqing, a-stirring stick, Tuo Junjing, who originally belonged to Li Zixuan's subordinates, completely turned against the water and defected to the monarch, which made the capital form a dog-tooth intertwined trend, and no one could help the other party, and it reached the point of trying to see the poor dagger.
There is no secret between Tuo Junjing and Lee Zi-sang, and if there is a variable, it is which side the Kim family will be on, and both sides think that the Kim family will be on their side.
Miaoqing knew that the difficult battle of this battle was the battle of defending the city of Miyagi, so he gathered his junior brother Bai Shouhan, his friend Liu Min, and his friends Jin An and Wen Gongren to conspire.
On the third watch day of December 29, the entire Kaijing did not have the slightest taste of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, but sharpened its knives, and a big war was about to break out.
Under the leadership of Li Donglin, the Li family army besieged Miyagi with an army of 10,000 and launched a rapid attack.
Although the royal army guarding Miyagi was inferior in number, in order to surround the lord, these pro-army troops fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the two sides fought bloody battles at the gate of Miyagi.
The passage at the entrance of the palace is relatively narrow, so that the armies of both sides cannot be fully deployed, and it seems that the killing is inextricable, but in fact, the casualties on both sides are not very large.
The entire Kaijing is as bright as day, and there are shouts of killing everywhere.
The attacking side always took the initiative, but the royal army on the defending side did not give up an inch of land, and the bloody battle between the two sides lasted until the fifth watch, with Park Jung-jung leading 20,000 troops from the northwest side gate and Tuo Junjing's 20,000 troops from the southeast side gate. The melee of these 40,000 troops spread the flames of war to every corner of Kaijing City, and the two sides fought from morning to noon, and every street was full of blood, and there were bloody battles everywhere.
The lord of Shunde in the palace city has been burning incense and praying, while the lord of Goryeo, Wang Kai, is restless like an ant on a hot pot, while Miaoqing is like an old monk in a fixed place, not moving at all, as if he has not unearthed the bloody battle outside the city at all.
"Master, the killing sound outside is shocking, why aren't you worried?"
"Your Majesty, what do you worry the poor monk about? Do you want to ask the poor monk if he can defeat the rebels in this battle? ”
"Yes, it has been a few hours of bloody fighting since the night, but the bloody battle still shows no signs of stopping, and I am afraid that something will happen."
Wang Kai finally expressed his inner concerns, he was afraid of defeat, because once the rebels entered the city, then he was doomed to be abolished, and there was no possibility of turning over in the future.
Miaoqing stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, it's time to end, and it can't be a river of blood." ”
"Master, what are your tricks?"
"When it gets dark, the Jin family's army will join the battle, and it will attack Li Zixun from behind, and the overall situation can be decided this night."
When it was dark, Kim Ji-hwan's younger brother Kim Ji-ki finally entered the city with an army of 10,000 and attacked Lee's troops from behind. However, the battle situation did not develop according to the track designed by Miaoqing. Because Zhao Kuang's 10,000 troops also entered the city and attacked Tuojun's capital, the bloody battle in the entire Kaijing City was even more chaotic at night.
The 20,000 army led by Li Jun was stationed outside the East Gate, and Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun led 30,000 troops to be stationed at the West Gate, and the situation in the entire Kaijing was more complicated, and the 20,000 army led by the Nguyen Sanxiong suddenly attacked Tuo Junjing's lair at night.
At this time, Miaoqing knew who was the chess player and who was the chess piece, and in this case, he abandoned his illusions and ordered his junior brother Bai Shouhan to call on the believers in the city to attack the rebels. In the middle of the night, Myoqing's nemesis Kim An opened the east gate, and Li Jun's 20,000-strong army disguised himself as the Goryeo army and killed him.
It is true that the infantry combat ability of the Han naval army cannot be compared with the Han infantry, and it is even less able to catch up with the Jin State Iron Cavalry, but it is definitely not inferior to the Great Song Forbidden Army or the Goryeo Army. Coupled with the most advanced firearms and the hardest armor, the 20,000-strong army still exerted great power in the Kaijing Annihilation Station.
The gunfire rang out, and the Goryeo soldiers on the opposite side fell one by one, and these Goryeo soldiers were exactly the same clothes as themselves when they saw the opposite side, but the weapons in their hands were a little strange, and they were not afraid at first, and began to fight back. However, the power of the gunpowder gun, at this time, was exerted to the extreme, the five-row firing lineup, in the face of the infantry attack, the defense was simply incomprehensible, and the Goryeo soldiers died tragically before they could get close, and the huge lethality made people feel terrifying.
Rows of Goryeo soldiers were shot, in this case. The Goryeo rebels, lacking the courage to rush forward, began to counterattack with bows and arrows, in a vain attempt to suppress the enemy with long-range attacks.
In the five-row shooting lineup, instead of five rows of soldiers shooting, only three rows of soldiers shoot, and the other two rows are long shield soldiers, and the soldiers hold a one-man-high long shield with both hands to defend and ensure that they will not be injured by the enemy's bow and arrow. This kind of defense can be said to be airtight, and ordinary bows and arrows have no lethality at all.
The first platoon is 500 long shield soldiers, who use the long shield tightly to hold their positions, while the soldiers in the second row use powder guns to shoot at the enemy on the opposite side through the firing holes of the long shield, which looks like a modern pillbox, with great lethality and strong defense. After the soldiers in the second row finish shooting, they will quickly retreat, and the soldiers in the third row will shoot on top and cover the retreat of the long shield soldiers, and while the soldiers in the third row shoot, the long shield soldiers of the fourth faction will cover up to cover, and after the soldiers in the third row finish shooting, the soldiers in the fifth row will rush up and shoot, and the first row of shield soldiers is a cycle. It's as if it's a turntable, always holding a firm position.
Each group of 2,500 soldiers, each group advanced in tandem, like a mobile bunker, pushing and shoving very slowly, but the Goryeo rebels could not stop it, they could only let it advance, and they could only retreat one by one, unable to stop.
Due to the intervention of 20,000 Han troops, the battle situation became chaotic, casualties were gradually increasing, and at this time, the army that had fought hard had reached the end of the crossbow and could collapse at any time. The continuous high-intensity bloody battle made the troops who had participated in the battle in the early stage unable to fight anymore and began to scatter and flee, but those Myaoqing believers began to kill the scattered and fleeing rebels.
In this bloody battle, there is destined to be no winner, including the demon monk Miaoqing, who knows that the business he has worked hard to manage has become the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty's occupation of Goryeo, and who can mention this bitterness to?
This bloody battle was fought until dawn before it gradually subsided, Tuo Junjing, Li Zixun, and Park Zhengzhong were all wiped out, while Jin Zhiqi and Zhao Kuang suffered heavy casualties.
Under the strong deterrence of the Han army, Wang Kai, the lord of Goryeo, was in charge of the court, and Jin Zhiqi and Zhao Kuang became the new magnates, but the two famous military generals of Goryeo were loyal not to Wang Kai, the puppet lord, but to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Miaoqing became the national teacher. The Kaijing Rebellion finally subsided, and the entire family of the powerful minister Yi Zixuan was sent to settle in the imperial capital, and Tuo Jung-kyung was executed, and Park Jung-jung was executed.
It turned out that Zhao Kuang took refuge in the Han army after the Han naval division occupied Tamna Island, and for him, the Song State had become a thing of the past, and Goryeo was destined to be the world of the Han army in the future.
Yi Jun became the governor of Goryeo, and at the same time he ordered the Jin army to withdraw from Goryeo, and finally with the support of the Han army, the Goryeo army regained the lost territory.
The Dahan Navy Division was officially stationed on Tamna Island, built a port, and built a shipyard. Liang Lie, Liang Hong returns, Li Jun controls the overall situation.
When Liang Hong and Liang Lie left, the palace lord of Chengqing, the palace lord of Dening, the palace lord of Changle, and the palace lord of Yonghe Jinghe all followed to the imperial capital as protons, and Princess Xingqing and Princess Chengde also accompanied him. And the Shunde palace master, who is a mother, also followed him to the imperial capital in order to take care of his daughter.
Crying, Wang Kai, the lord of Goryeo, cried when his sister left, he knew that his mother left to take care of his sister, but he was still uncomfortable in his heart, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the Han Emperor, and wanted to find the actual expulsion of the Han army, but it was not easy to expel the Han army.
