"Your Majesty!"

"Wangshang", a North Korean official, hurried into the palace of the king of Joseon.

"Oh no, there is a battle report from the front, Pyongyang has been captured by the Ming army yesterday, and General Park has died on the battlefield!" The North Korean official said, presenting the battle report in his hand to the king of Joseon.

However, at this time, where did the king of Joseon still have the strength to receive the war report in his hand.

"You say, what, Pyongyang fell yesterday?" The king of Joseon's face turned pale, and his tone trembled.

Pyongyang is not far from Seoul, hurry up, it only takes half a day to deliver the war report, and because when Pyongyang was breached, the Korean soldiers in the city were wiped out, and no one escaped, and when Pyongyang was breached, the Ming army immediately blocked Pyongyang and did not let the Koreans enter and exit, so it was not until half a day later that scouts sent from other parts of North Korea discovered that Pyongyang was occupied by the Ming army, and Seoul received the news after Pyongyang was lost for a full day.

"Since the defeat of the naval army and the crossing of the Yalu River by the Ming army, it has only been seven days, only seven days! Pyongyang has fallen! Is that right, tomorrow the Ming army will be under the city of Seoul! The king of Joseon gritted his teeth and cursed.

How could he believe that his Korean state was so vulnerable, and that the Ming army was so strong!

"Your Majesty, at this moment, the Ming army may already be on the way to Seoul, please cheer up." North Korean officials said to the king of the DPRK.

The king of North Korea looked desperate and cheered up? Heh, how to cheer up? The Ming army attacked so fast, Seoul had less than 70,000 soldiers, only half the size of Pyongyang, and Pyongyang fell in less than a day, how could Seoul be defended? Even if he wants to mobilize more soldiers and horses from other cities, it will take a certain amount of time, but will the Ming army give him enough time? He thought that the Ming army would definitely not, so how could he cheer up, how could he not despair!

The king of Joseon was in great despair and sat on the king's chair in great decadence.

Just when the whole North Korean were panicking when the Ming army would appear under the city of Seoul, something happened that made them extremely dazed and made their hearts relax temporarily.

A day passed, and the Ming army did not come.

Two days passed, and the Ming army also did not come.

Three days passed, the Ming army did not appear, and at the same time, the scouts who went to Pyongyang to inquire about the news returned.

"Newspaper"

"Your Majesty, the Ming army has been resting in Pyongyang, and has not found out that it has any intention of immediately going south to Seoul." The Korean scouts sent back the information that the Korean monarchs and ministers were excited.

"Your Majesty, no matter what the purpose of the Ming army is, God will help me in Korea, and the king can immediately recruit all the soldiers and horses that can be recruited from all over the country to come to Seoul and fight to the death with the Ming army!" Some North Korean officials were overjoyed.

Another North Korean official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with what Senator Jin said, and the minister believes that the reason why the Ming army does not continue to move south may be just to occupy Tielingwei and Xianxing Mansion, not to destroy our Korea, and the king needs to immediately send someone to negotiate peace with the Ming army and let the Ming army retreat." ”

North Korea is divided into two factions, one for the main battle and the other for peace.

The main fighters spoke fiercely, but the strength of the Ming army was the fact in front of them, the peace faction occupied the vast majority and firmly gained the upper hand, and even the king of Korea was inclined to negotiate peace, after all, the Ming army captured Pyongyang in seven days, and almost came under Seoul, and the king of Korea had to be afraid.

However, after all, the king of Korea did not put all his eggs in one basket, and at the same time sent peace envoys, he also issued an edict ordering all the remaining soldiers and horses from all parts of Korea to be transferred to Seoul, and at the same time ordered all young men over the age of 15 in Korea to be conscripted into the army, so as to prevent the Ming army from attacking Seoul in the south.

Because of the goal of destroying the country from the very beginning, Daming laid a large number of eyeliners in Korea early, and the contents of the two edicts of the Korean king reached Huang Degong's ears an hour before the Korean envoy arrived in Pyongyang.

"As expected, the North Koreans not only sent envoys, but also conscripted all young men over the age of 15 in North Korea into the army, preparing to gather all the military forces of North Korea in Seoul." Shang Kexi said.

"However, if we want to make the North Korean monarchs even more crazy, we will have to wait after today, or after the North Korean envoys enter Pyongyang to meet us and return to Seoul from Pyongyang!" Huang Degong said with a smile.

As early as three days ago, Huang Degong and Shang Kexi set a good strategy, preparing to wait for the DPRK envoy to come, and through his mouth, completely cut off all hope of peace in the DPRK and force the DPRK to make a final desperate resistance.

North Korean emissaries entered Pyongyang through the South Gate of Pyongyang.

Along the way, the Korean envoy paid close attention to the specific situation of the Ming army encountered, and the impression of the Ming army on him was unfathomable except that it was imposing.

He found that some Ming soldiers along the way only had ordinary cold weapons such as spears and swords in their hands, but some Ming soldiers were holding muskets with strange styles and carrying a long knife at their waists.

The large-scale use of muskets by the Ming army was not new, and when the Ming army entered Korea to help Korea defend against the Japanese invaders, many Ming troops were armed with muskets.

What the Korean envoy didn't know at all was that all he saw was the Ming garrison troops, which were used to maintain law and order in the city, and those who had rifles and sabers were the main combat force of the Ming regular army.

In short, the Korean envoy actually couldn't see anything, because the cannon he wanted to see the most couldn't see it at all, and the Ming army's achievements were placed here, so his final conclusion was that the Ming army was very strong, unfathomably powerful.

When he saw Huang Degong, the attitude of the North Korean envoy was extremely humble.

This Korean envoy was originally a Lord-peace faction, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was full of remarks about peace, saying that as long as Daming was willing to withdraw his troops, North Korea was willing to return Tielingwei and Hamxing Mansion to Daming, as long as Daming promised never to attack Korea again.

Such conditions are undoubtedly extremely generous, but if the Ming Dynasty does not have the idea of destroying the country, he will definitely agree.

It's a pity that the North Korean people have not yet figured out the intentions of the Ming Dynasty, so let Huang Degong tell them in person.

"The envoy thinks that just Tielingwei and Xianxing Mansion can still impress my Daming?" Huang Degong asked with a sneer.

The Korean envoy's face twitched, and his face was embarrassed, but then he immediately gritted his teeth and asked, "What conditions does the general have to be willing to withdraw from the army?" ”

"Retirement?" Huang Degong smiled faintly: "The emperor's will to me is to destroy North Korea and occupy the entire territory of Korea, the emperor has never said that he will accept North Korea's peace, unless the king of North Korea is willing to take the whole of Korea to surrender to the Ming Dynasty unconditionally, and North Korea will be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty from then on, otherwise the Ming army will never withdraw its troops, and the commander of this army is not afraid to tell you, if it is not for the attack all the way, the materials brought are almost used, and the army commander would have waved his army south and approached Seoul!" You will go back and tell your king later, the commander of this army will give him half a month to consider whether to take Korea into the Ming Dynasty, and half a month later, the commander of this army will take the Ming army under his command to the city of Seoul and personally ask your king! ”

When Huang Degong said this, he was full of arrogance and disdain, and even more insulted the DPRK and did not take the DPRK in his eyes at all.

After listening to Huang Degong's words, the North Korean envoy was already stunned, it turned out that the Ming Dynasty had been fighting the idea of destroying the country from beginning to end, and the Ming Dynasty did not agree to negotiate peace at all, and insisted on destroying their Korean country!

"General, you Daming are deceiving people too much, and if you don't take my North Korea in your eyes, you will be punished by God!" The North Korean envoy was then angry and scolded Huang Degong.

Originally, he was a good master and faction, but that was when the Ming Dynasty did not destroy the country, and now the intention of the Ming Dynasty to destroy the country has been obvious, and he is too lazy to talk about it, and it is no longer feasible to negotiate peace, so he can only swear to defend North Korea to the death.

"Hmph, if you speak disrespectfully, you deserve death! Come on, drag the North Korean envoy out, beat him with thirty sticks, and expel him from Pyongyang! Huang Degong stood up with a cold face and ordered loudly.

Immediately, several soldiers rushed in and dragged the North Korean envoy down.

"No, Da Ming can't do this, he will be damned"

The voice of the North Korean envoy grew farther and farther away, and after a while, there was a crackling and muffled sound outside.

When the wounded North Korean envoy was expelled from Pyongyang and carried back to Seoul, the news he brought back immediately made the Korean monarchs and ministers stunned, and then there was a face of iron and anger, and the Ming Dynasty actually fought from the beginning with the idea of destroying the country, to destroy Korea.
