Chapter 1081 Even if you die, you have to die in the land of the Ming Dynasty
Three chapters are delivered today!
————
This cavalry battle that took place in Liaohetao can be said to have completely lost confidence in the Tatar tribes who came to help the puppet Ming Hui Wang, and at that time, Altan Khan also took advantage of the fire to rob and launched the Eastern Expedition to attack the Chahar Department and Duoyan Sanwei and other departments.
So they simply ran away and returned to the steppe to fight Altan Khan to the death.
Even the Tatar cavalry could not do it, and the three thousand cavalry under their command now could not be counted on.
Do you think that the troops with the name of infantry divisions in the pseudo-Tang Dynasty thief army have no cavalry, but they have a decent cavalry regiment, and if you add the reconnaissance cavalry, the total number of cavalry is also thousands of cavalry.
If you take the initiative to fight it, you will definitely not be able to beat it, so what should you do now?
Stubborn?
But holding on is also a dead end, this Goryeo Peninsula is a big place, and there is only one city they can rely on, Liujing, once it is surrounded, it will also be a situation of starvation to death.
Therefore, someone suggested to the puppet King Myeonghye, whether we should continue to move in, we can bypass the mountainous area in the northeast of the Goryeo Peninsula, and then continue north, I heard that although the north is a wild land, it can also be used as a foundation for a comeback.
The person who made this suggestion was pulled out and cut off on the spot by the pseudo-Ming Hui King who shouted a sentence to shake the army's heart!
At that time, the puppet Ming Hui King looked around at the generals under his command, and then said word by word: "Even if I die, I will die in the land of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Since Emperor Zhengde committed suicide in defeat on the battlefield in Shandong, his three sons have been called emperors, Prince Zhengde justifiably called the emperor, awarded the year name Shaowu, and then left a curse in the Forbidden City and died of self-immolation.
Subsequently, the puppet King Mingjing in Sichuan and the puppet King Minghui in Liaodong both claimed themselves emperors after the death of Emperor Shaowu.
However, the Tang Dynasty did not recognize them at all, in today's official tone, the Tang Dynasty recognized Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Shaowu, and in the history of the Ming Dynasty that had begun to be compiled, they officially recognized their identity as emperors of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, but the pseudo-Ming Jing King and the pseudo Ming Hui King did not recognize their throne.
Because in the official cognition of the Tang Dynasty, after Emperor Shaowu died by self-immolation, the Ming Dynasty was completely destroyed, and they directly gave Emperor Shaowu a nickname, calling him Emperor Mourning.
From the nickname of Emperor Ming Wai, it can be seen that the Tang monarchs and ministers actually have a lot of contempt for Emperor Shaowu, an unlucky man, and in order to highlight the benevolence and righteousness of the Tang Dynasty, they also brought a little sympathy by the way.
In fact, if Emperor Shaowu did not bravely self-immolate and die at that time, and let outsiders look up to him, it is estimated that when the Tang Dynasty gave him a nickname, he would have been given a nickname such as Li and Yan.
In addition, in fact, the pseudo-Ming Jing King and the pseudo Ming Hui King also gave Emperor Shaowu a nickname successively, which is naturally a good name, but Datang does not admit it!
And I have to say that although there are not many sons of Emperor Zhengde, Emperor Shaowu, King Jing and King Hui, basically each of them are hard bones, and Emperor Shaowu was defeated and died of self-immolation.
King Jing also committed suicide after his defeat!
Even the current King Hui has never thought of escaping into the wilderness, even if he dies, he will die in the land of Daming!
Well, the Goryeo Peninsula is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally it is also the land of the Ming Dynasty!
King Hui's attitude also scared a lot of people stupidly!
But the trees are falling and scattered, and now this situation is no longer what King Hui said if he wants to fight to the death!
King Hui was determined to die, but others were not sure to die, so after Kang Gaozhi's 15th Infantry Division successfully built a pontoon bridge to cross the Yalu River under the cover of the navy, the situation in Liujing City was becoming more and more chaotic day by day!
King Hui strictly ordered all troops to defend the city and not to evacuate!
But I can't stand people's desire to escape, many people have begun to run away, and many others are high-ranking officials in King Hui's regime, and some of them are that a group of people shouted to leave blood for the royal family, in order to make a comeback, and secretly kidnapped King Hui's three-year-old eldest son, and then these people fled all the way south with an army of 2,000 and King Hui's eldest son.
Looking at the direction of their escape, they must want to go to the southernmost tip of the Goryeo Peninsula and then cross the sea to Tsushima Island and even Fuso!
King Hui, who has always had a very tough attitude and is quite ruthless, turned a blind eye to this matter and treated it as if he didn't see it.
That day, Princess Hui forced each other to die, saying that you want to die, and the concubine will die with you, leaving a way for the child to live, these words made King Hui extinguish the thought of sending troops to intercept him, and finally sighed deeply: "Actually, this is useless, Fusang is a wild place, what is the use of going, and how can the pseudo-Tang sailor let them easily cross the sea to Fusang?" ”
"The concubine told them that if you can't do anything, then you can break it into pieces, as long as you can live safely!"
After listening to the words of this wife who shared wealth and hardship with him, and would die together if nothing happened, King Hui didn't say anything more, just sighed again!
In Liujing City, King Hui's family and the remnants of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and other remnants naturally sighed, and those who wanted to survive each thought of a way, those who could escape would flee, and those who could not escape were also ready to surrender when the time came, of course, King Hui was also not short of some civil and military ministers and soldiers who were also willing to die and were willing to fight with him to the last moment!
In the past few years, King Hui has been able to control Liaodong and raise more than 100,000 troops, and all kinds of ruthless military and political methods are important, but they are also related to his personality charm. It is impossible to do such a thing without a little personality charm and means, and such a person is someone who is willing to fight to the death.
Therefore, although Liujing is turbulent, it is still in a controllable position on the whole.
However, in Liujing City, there is another group of people who are surprised and delighted by the arrival of the Tang Dynasty, and they are the monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty on the Goryeo Peninsula.
King Hui has captured all the monarchs and ministers of the Lee Dynasty on the Goryeo Peninsula in the city of Liujing, and it is impossible to see them as local masters, although they have not abolished their thrones on the surface, but in fact they are all taken care of as prisoners.
These days, they have always been afraid, afraid that one day the soldiers of King Hui outside the door will rush in and click them all!
But wait and wait, they just heard that the pseudo-Tang thief army is coming!
This can't help but surprise and delight them!
Naturally, they were afraid that the Tang Dynasty would continue to treat them as prisoners, or even kill them, just like King Hui, and happily, they also wishful thinking that their Li Dynasty had always been a vassal state of the Huaxia Dynasty, and now the Central Dynasty of China has become the Tang Empire, but it doesn't make much difference to them, just continue to be their vassal state.
Therefore, many people are also looking forward to the Tang Dynasty King Master to kill them quickly and rescue them!
But they naturally didn't know that in the Tang Empire's strategy for disposing of the Goryeo Peninsula, there was no intention to leave them.
The Tang Dynasty doesn't need to leave a vassal state by its side, and it allows others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch!
In the future, the Goryeo Peninsula will become a part of Liaodong Province, divided into four provinces, and become an inseparable part of the Tang Empire!
As for the original Goryeo royal family, their fate will not be better than that of King Hye's family!
In fact, there is no need for the Tang Army to do it, King Hui will do it himself!
Because after he heard that the Goryeo monarchs and ministers were actually going to fight the puppet Tang thief army, many people laughed and laughed, and he was very angry.
Lao Tzu is going to die and die in battle, and you still expect to continue to enjoy glory and wealth after being rescued, how can there be such a good thing!
So with a paper order, the soldiers under the command of King Hui, who were guarding the door, rushed into the mansion where the Goryeo monarchs and ministers were imprisoned, and a quarter of an hour later, when these soldiers came out, there was no sound behind them!
Even if Lao Tzu is dead, he will take you to the funeral!
This is what King Hui thinks at this moment!
People who are about to die have good hearts, this sentence is only used to treat relatives and friends, but when dealing with enemies or people who are disgusted, more often than not, they will think, don't think about it if I die!
Because King Hui took the action of sticking to Liujing, and finally fought the final battle to the death here!
Therefore, Kang Gaozhi did not encounter much resistance after the Yalu River in their hips, and many of the troops under the pseudo-Ming Hui King only got a little closer to reconnoitre, and then quickly retreated south.
As for the Goryeo natives encountered along the way, they had mixed reactions, some local officials in Goryeo regarded the Tang Army as a savior and welcomed them very much, while some regarded them as the second invader, even if they did not take the initiative to attack, but they would not easily open the city gate to let the Tang Army enter the city.
For the heavy situation, Kang Gaozhi's solution is very simple, hit a few artillery and rush a wave, and it is basically over, and there is no need to even send too many main forces to fight, basically they are all battalion-level units, and at most they can solve the battle with regiment-level units.
In this case, they went all the way south and it was smooth, there were not too many accidents on the road, but the artillery and baggage troops could not keep up, so Kang Gaozhi had to stop twice and wait for the artillery and baggage troops to follow.
This also delays the speed of going south!
But even if it was delayed, they successfully arrived outside Liujing City on July 3rd!
When Kang Gaozhi looked at Liujing City, which was miles away, with a telescope, he was a little puzzled, didn't he say that Liujing was one of the two largest cities on the Goryeo Peninsula.
But no matter how you look at it, I don't want it to be a big city.
The scale of this city is at most the size of a prefecture, not even the size of those high-class prefectures, but only the size of a medium-sized prefecture, and he estimates that a city of this size has a permanent population of one or two thousand people at most on weekdays.
Well, the people who have taken care of the big cities in the country, and when they see the so-called big cities in the country, there are nine times out of ten that they will feel this way, regardless of whether it is the sixteenth century or the twenty-first century.
