But in the face of the invading rogue army, the governor of Ming Xuan felt that he should do something? You can't sit still, can you? After thinking about it, the governor of Ming Xuan thought of the "oath meeting", in order to cheer up the civil and military officials who defended the city, the governor of Ming Xuan specially summoned the civil and military officials of the whole city to come to the Guandi Temple.

The officials gathered here naturally also knew the purpose of coming here, but everyone tacitly knew it!

Standing in front of the temple gate at noon, the governor of Ming Xuan, wearing waist-length armor and a red cherry blossom feather helmet on his head, saw the officials arriving one after another, and began to announce: "Ladies and gentlemen, today the governor summoned everyone to come here to fight against the rogue and protect the northern border of Datong Mansion. ”

I thought that there would be people in the audience who responded to the cheers, but when the officials learned that the governor of Xuanda was going to live and die with the city, they were silent one by one! Only a few generals raised their hands and shouted twice, although the governor of Ming Xuan was impassioned, but the officials under him did not give any strength at all! In fact, they all know what the real situation is.

Many of these officials had already written secret letters, secretly contacting the rogues and preparing to surrender as soon as the rogues arrived.

Of course, the Governor of Mingxuan also knew a little about all this, but he was helpless, knowing that this was the trend of the times and could not be stopped by his personal strength, but he was unwilling to surrender to the Liukou, so after the oath was over, the Governor of Mingxuan chose to escape.

And in order to find an excuse for himself, he specially selected a hundred soldiers, and fled in the direction of Beizhili with 10,000 taels of treasury silver, in an attempt to save the treasury silver, hoping to reduce his guilt for "losing the land" in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

Unexpectedly, today's military spirit has reached the point of no return! Not long after the troops set off, the soldiers mutinied before they passed the high mountain guard, they were unwilling to follow Governor Wang to Beizhili, but wanted to surrender to the Liukou army to enjoy the blessings, the soldiers suddenly shouted loudly, and also robbed the horses and treasury silver of the governor of Ming Xuan, as a gift to surrender to Emperor Dashun.

Fortunately, the governor of Ming Xuan took advantage of the chaos to ride a horse and escape on the path, but he was still the governor an hour ago, but now he has become a bare-bones commander, with no soldiers and no pay! I had to run to Gaoshanwei to ask for help from the local garrison, and the embarrassed governor of Mingxuan was afraid of being recognized by the soldiers defending the city, so he deliberately took off his waist-length armor and only wore a black robe, looking very down! After entering the city, he hurried straight to the guard command post.

However, when the guards saw a disheveled man entering, they immediately stopped and asked, "Stop! Who are you? Dare to trespass on the guard command post? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? As he spoke, the soldier drew his saber in an attempt to scare him away.

How could the other party not only not leave, but also puffed up his chest and looked at the soldiers, and said solemnly: "I am the governor of Xuanda, I have something important to ask to see your commander, get out of the way quickly." As soon as the words fell, he took out the waist card for the soldiers to see, and when he learned his identity, the soldiers hurriedly got out of the way and took the governor of Ming Xuan to meet the commander of the Ming Gaoshan Guard: Lu Yongchun, and Yang and the Ming Yang and the guards in the acropolis prepared to say: Yu Chonghua, then went out of the city for ten miles to welcome the Liukou army to surrender.

At the same time, on the other side, the Manchu Zheng White Banner Baturu Messenger who marched to the Lee Korean Decree was galloping on fast horses to the Seoul Province on the right side of Gyeonggi Province, the capital of the Lee Dynasty.

The crowd looked up and saw a man wearing a white (cotton armor) with a straight-topped bowl and red tassels on his head, and a thin braid on his back, riding quickly in the direction of the palace. ”

In the crowd, the Lee family, who was wearing a (deep coat) and wearing a "jade heron hat", all agreed: After it should be true, when you see this, you think that something big will happen?

As expected, the Qing court envoy asked the soldiers defending the city of Lee Joseon to go in in front of the main gate (Gwanghwa Gate) on the south side of Changdeok Palace: Li Liang, the king of Chunxiao County, and asked him to personally go out of Changdeok Palace to welcome him into the palace, after all, the Qing court envoy carried the holy decree issued by the regent of the Manchu emperor's father.

At this moment, Joseon Injo, who was wearing the red royal uniform and wearing a (wing good crown), was still in the back garden in the Xiangyuan Pavilion, drinking tea and watching the dancers, but was interrupted by panicked soldiers, and was so angry that Joseon Injo scolded, "Korean: Bold, dare to disturb the widow? ”

Seeing this, the soldier quickly knelt down and explained, "Korean: Your Royal Highness, please calm your anger!" It's small, there is something important to report, and outside Gwanghwamun there is a messenger with a will, and he asks His Royal Highness to you...? ”

When Joseon Injo saw that the soldier did not continue, he guessed that it must not be a good thing! He asked the soldier to continue, and the soldier had to tell him the intention of the Qing court envoy, for which the Joseon Injo of the Lee clan was very annoyed when he heard it, he thought to himself; Although the widow surrendered to the Qing court! But after all, he is also the king of a country, how can he easily go out to meet an unruly envoy?

But he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to order to summon the ministers to come to the Sizheng Hall to discuss state affairs, and when the two classes of scholars and doctors of the Li family received the summons, they lined up according to their rank to enter the palace and stand, while Joseon Injo slowly walked up to the hall and sat down and said, "Korean: The widow has just received the news that a Hulu envoy has come to the palace, and the widow is invited to greet him in person!" Is there anyone in the family who is willing to go out for the widow? ”

As soon as these words came out, the Korean ministers in the Sizheng Hall instantly exploded, and they all played: "Korean: Your Royal Highness must not deign to go out to meet the barbarians!" The ministers are willing to go out to meet the king. ”

But having said that, who should be sent? Just become a problem? Because the two classes of scholars and doctors were very unconvinced, they thought that the Qing court was deliberately trying to humiliate their own country and be friendly with our country, so why should they care so much about the etiquette of the subject country? Therefore, after the ministers discussed, there was some shirking of responsibility.

Soon angered Baturu, a Manchu and white flag waiting in Gwanghwamen, he became angry and shouted at the Korean interpreter, "Jurchen language: Why haven't you come to answer the decree?" How long will it take? ”

The North Korean translator saw that he was a little impatient, so he had to comfort: "Jurchen language: Don't be impatient, don't worry!" His Royal Highness will come in the next moment. After speaking, the North Korean interpreter personally went into the palace to see the situation.

The ministers who were still arguing about etiquette in the main hall were arguing with each other because of their different opinions, and it was a headache for Joseon Injo! He had no choice but to persuade, "Korean: Okay, okay! The loyal and patriotic people of Aiqing know in their hearts, and now let's talk about who to send out to meet the envoy of Hulu, right? ”

First of all, the left counselor of the Joseon of the Lee family, Tian Weicheng, proposed, "Korean: His Royal Highness the king, the prime minister is the supreme minister above the ten thousand people under one person, and it is reasonable for him to replace the king to greet him." ”

However, the Grand Priest of the Joseon Family: Kang Jinnan said, "Korean: His Royal Highness thinks it is impossible!" The prime minister is not only the head of the country's important ministers and hundreds of officials, but also represents the backbone of the scholars and doctors. ”

Just as they were arguing, the North Korean interpreter anxiously rushed into the main hall, and accidentally bumped into Lee's North Korean Right Minister: Yoo Weng, fortunately, the North Korean interpreter explained in time, so he was not punished, and he begged His Royal Highness Joseon Injo to go out quickly to meet the holy decree.

The Korean Right Speaker on the side also echoed and said, "Korean: Your Royal Highness, Your Highness also implores, please go out quickly to receive the order!" Don't anger the Qing court envoys! But the ministers of the Lee Joseon clan office: Li Wei, and the Lee Joseon Bibian Division: Yoon Kwang-chun, and other ministers immediately retorted, "Korean: What are you talking about?" Do you want His Royal Highness to lose his identity in public? ”

These words were directly reprimanded by the North Korean Right Parliament: "Korean: Could it be that His Royal Highness is just for his own face?" Regardless of the lives of the people? If this angers the Qing court envoys, I am afraid that the Seoul government will suffer again! ”

After hearing this, the two classes of doctors in North Korea had no choice but to bow their heads and sigh, "Korean: Hey! There is no other way to do it now! I hope that the envoys will not go too far. ”

In this way, after everyone compromised, Joseon Injo was discussed by the right of Joseon, and led out of Changdeok Palace to drive the king to Gwanghwa Gate to welcome the holy decree of the Qing court envoy.

Walking in front of the king's chariot, the Li Joseon (Inner Guard) team came to the Gwanghwa Gate with swords and the honor guard holding three umbrellas, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty White Flag Baturu saw that the king of the Korean county finally came out, and he unceremoniously took out the holy decree and began to read: "Jurchen language: The king of the Korean county receives the decree, carries it by heaven, and the emperor makes it; I was determined to let the regent of the imperial father, the regent of the imperial family, personally attack the Ming Liaodong capital Sining Yuanwei, and ordered the king of the Joseon county of the Li clan to send troops to respond from the side, and afterwards I should be sent back to the prince of Joseon. ”

After receiving the decree of the Qing court, Joseon Injo did not dare to get up until the Hulu envoy turned to leave, and saw that the Hulu envoy did not enter the Qinzheng Hall to rest, and the Joseon Renjo instructed the left and right scholars and doctors to help him up, slowly stood up and said, "Korean: As expected, the widow knows that Hulu has bad intentions!" Actually let the widow send troops to cooperate in the attack on Ning Yuanwei? It's really a wolf's ambition to be revealed. ”

This makes North Korea Injo very helpless, but North Korea's right-wing government doesn't think so? He stepped forward and persuaded, "Korean: Your Royal Highness, since the Qing court has promised to send it back to the prince's palace after the war, why don't we also pretend to send troops to cooperate?" ”

Having said that, Joseon Injo is still a little hesitant, after all, many soldiers and civilians in the country are still interested in the Ming Empire, and if they openly send troops, I am afraid that there will be a protest? And the soldiers may not necessarily cooperate, but the Korean soldier of the Lee clan, Cho Wu Xuan: Jiang Zhengwen, stood up and said, "Korean: His Royal Highness King Qiyu This matter is handed over to the minister, and the minister has the right to act with confidence." ”，

Therefore, Joseon Injo granted 80,000 Korean infantry troops in the east and west provinces of Pyongan and the south and north provinces of Hamgyong, and handed them over to the Korean soldiers Cao Wuxuan Division to go to Liaodong to rush to Ningyuanwei to cooperate with the Qing court.

At the same time, the Qing court was led by the Manchu emperor's father regent, the Zhengbai and Zhenghuang two banner armies, and the Han army led by the Manchu Han people under the yellow banner (most of them were the Ming army that surrendered before) combined with a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus 5 red-coated cannons and 8 Dingliao general cannons. Let the army be stationed here.
