Chapter 161: Korean Pacification

Listening to the footsteps of Yongzhen and the others disappearing outside the gate, Li Fangyuan suddenly shouted: "Someone! ”

"In!"

"Ming Yu, urgently assemble the guards!"

"Yes!"

Li Fangyuan turned his head and looked at Du Mingju, who was a little frightened: "The situation is urgent, this king plans to inspect the city defense, is the old general willing to accompany him?" ”

"Yes, of course I do!" Du Mingju agreed, his forehead was full of cold sweat.

......

It would take time for all the guards to be assembled, but Li Fangyuan couldn't wait, he left Yin Mingyu to continue to assemble the guards, and he led the more than 500 people gathered in advance to the west gate.

The dense sound of horses' hooves swept through the streets like a gust of wind, leaving a mess behind, and if it was in normal times, Li Fangyuan would definitely stop to comfort the merchants, but now, he had no time.

......

"Yongzhen, what do you want to do!"

Jin Zongrui touched the breath of the arrow guard, then drew his sword and pointed at Yongzhen angrily: "Why did you indiscriminately release arrows as soon as we met and injured my guard?" ”

"Hehe," Yongzhen gently pulled a knife flower, looked around Jin Zongrui, and then said, "Jin Zongrui, where is your father?" Hand him over! ”

"My father?" Jin Zongrui looked stunned: "He should be in Gyeongju now!" ”

"Hahaha, Jin Zongrui, you are really going to rebel," Yongzhen waved his knife: "The king has an order, arrest Jin Zongrui, if you resist, there will be no mercy!" ”

"Kill!"

Looking at the swarming guards, Jin Zongrui looked at the comparison of strength, there were more than 100 people on the other side, and there were only more than 10 people under him, and they might not be able to help him, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone run!" As he spoke, he turned around and ran frantically towards the road, and the guards behind him were stunned, only four followed, and the others were caught off guard and died under the other's sword.

Jin Zongrui ran desperately, listening to the screams of his subordinates behind him, he regretted it in his heart, he regretted not listening to his father's words, he didn't expect Li Fangyuan to be so resolute, and he actually sent Yongzhen to arrest him, making it clear that he would not give himself a way to live! Now he can only run in the direction of his father, hoping that his father's arrangement can save his life!

Looking at Jin Zongrui, who was turning, Yongzhen was ecstatic, Jin Zongrui, you kid also has today! He waved his hand: "Quick! Fast! Catch up! Don't let him run! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh! ”

"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”

At this moment, a group of archers suddenly appeared on the rooftops on both sides of the street, mercilessly pouring arrows at the pursuers, and the pursuers who were caught off guard screamed and fell to the ground.

Of course, Yongzhen, who called the most joyful, received special care, and fell to the ground with several arrows in an instant, and his last thought turned out to be: "Ah? This Jin Zongrui is really reversed! ”

Looking at the dead and wounded pursuers, Jin Zongrui sighed, then turned around and got on his horse, and followed Jin Nanxuan towards the south gate.

......

"Lu Kai, how's the situation?"

Lu Kai, who was maintaining order at the city gate, heard Li Fangyuan's call, and hurriedly ran over and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, there are more and more defeated troops, and the last general is worried that the Ming army is about to arrive!" ”

looked at Lu Kai who was kneeling on the ground, and looked around, Li Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had arrived in time, he pointed at Lu Kai with a horsewhip, and said: "Close the city gate immediately, let the defeated army go around the city, and enter the city through the east gate!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Fangyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Lu Kai, has Jin Nanxuan ever looked for you?" ”

"General Kim?" Lu Kai was stunned for a moment and said, "No, didn't he go to Gyeongju?" ”

"Ahh It's not good," Li Fangyuan shouted, and then turned back and said: "Old general, you immediately take over the city defense, close the four gates, prohibit anyone from entering or leaving, and wait for the order of the widow!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

After Li Fangyuan finished giving the order, he immediately led people to turn to the south gate.

Looking at Li Fangyuan's back, Lu Kai asked with some doubts: "Old general, what's wrong with the king?" ”

"Alas!" Du Mingju sighed and shook his head: "Do your own thing, I hope it's still too late!" ”

......

South Gate of Sangju.

After Jin Nanxuan led people to the south gate, he immediately rushed to the city tower and saluted a young general: "Lieutenant Colonel Chu, the last general is back!" ”

"Well, what's going on now?"

"This is Zong Rui, Zong Rui, come and meet Lieutenant Colonel Chu!"

Seeing his father's groveling appearance, Jin Zongrui was a little angry, but he had to bow down and salute: "I've seen Lieutenant Colonel Chu!" ”

"Well," Chu Zheng glanced at Jin Zongrui, then turned to Jin Nanxuan, frowned, and said, "Now that your son has been rescued, but it must have alarmed Li Fangyuan, what are your plans now?" ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Chu, the lower officials hope that you can shelter Xiao'er, I am willing to continue to persuade the guards of the sect that Li Fangyuan will definitely be captured alive, please rest assured!"

"Okay, your son will stay here, but you have to understand that if you can't complete the task, don't blame the official for not keeping his promise!"

"Yes, yes, Xia Guan understands! Xia Guan understands! ”

"Father, I'm going with you to persuade you to surrender!" Seeing Jin Nanxuan turn around to leave, Jin Zongrui hurriedly grabbed him and asked to go together.

"No need," Jin Nanxuan gently pushed his son's hand away, looked at Chu Zheng's face again, and said in a low voice: "Stay here well, it will be fine for your father!" ”

Chu Zheng was still more reasonable, and sent ten special combat team members to Jin Nanxuan for protection.

......

"Is that Li Fangyuan riding the white horse?"

Chu Zheng handed the telescope in his hand to Jin Zongrui, who took the telescope, looked at it, and then nodded.

"Great!" Chu Zheng slapped his thigh fiercely: "Special operations battalion, prepare grenades, Lao Tzu wants to let Li Fangyuan come and go!" ”

......

"Boom! Rumble! Thundered! ”

The explosion at the south gate shocked the whole city, and Li Fangyuan's men suffered heavy casualties, but until Li Fangyuan was captured, no one from the city gate sent troops to support, and Yin Mingyu, the only one who came to support, was quickly defeated by the special operations battalion, and Yin Mingyu himself became a prisoner!

......

After dark, the city of Sangju maintained a strange scene, the south gate was in the hands of Chu Zheng, a lieutenant colonel of the Ming army, and the other three gates were still in the hands of the Korean generals. On this night, Chu Zheng waited for him, but no one rescued Li Fangyuan, and no one surrendered to him, Chu Zheng didn't know what medicine they were selling in their gourd, but he had limited troops at hand, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

After dawn, the armies of Sheng Yong and Zhuang De arrived in Sangju one after another, and the Sanmen guards quickly surrendered without any fighting.

After learning the news of Li Fangyuan's capture, Sheng Yong was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered someone to report to the imperial court, and at the same time ordered Chu Zheng to escort Li Chenggui, Li Fangguo, Li Fangyuan and others back to Beijing to wait for the emperor to deal with them.

Two days later, the Chungju garrison general Guo Qihao committed suicide, and Chungju was pacified, and the entire territory of Korea was pacified.

......

Jingshi, Jinluan Palace.

"Li Fangyuan, are you guilty?"

"I'm not guilty!"

"Isn't it a sin to usurp the emperor, fight against the heavenly soldiers, and cause the lives of North Korea to be miserable?"

"You can be the emperor, why can't I?"

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand to stop the furious anger of the courtiers: "Li Fangyuan, are you not convinced?" ”

"Yes, you are just relying on the strength of the country and the strength of the army to bully the poor and weak people of our country!"

"Haha," Zhu Yunwen suddenly laughed: "Li Fangyuan, if you change places, what will you do?" ”

"Changing places?" Li Fangyuan froze and looked up at Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, the ministers will do the same!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Yunwen smiled: "Do you have any last words?" ”

"Nope!"

"Where are your concubines and heirs?"

"The matter has come to this, under the nest, how can there be eggs!"

"Good! Come on, push it out, and the whole family will be executed! ”

......

After Li Fangyuan's death, Zhu Yunwen issued an edict to divide the Korean political envoys into thirteen prefectures, abolishing the "Ketian Law", and the people could apply for land distribution according to Dingkou; A large number of seowon were set up in Korea to promote the Chinese language, and at the same time, Korean classics were collected, and new Korean history books were compiled by the Hanlin Academy and released to the public, while most of the old history books were burned;

Militarily, 23 guard posts were set up in Korea, which were all over the key and bad places, and all the Korean sergeants were scattered and assigned to each guard post.

The rebels and their families were all moved out of Korea and distributed along the southeast coast; At the same time, in order to free up land to build a health center, the people on the original land were relocated to the north of the Cibei Ridge, that is, the old land of Lelang, and some were relocated to the Liaohe River and Songnen Plain in the northeast.

During this period, there were some rebellions, uprisings, and riots in North Korea, but on the whole, it was relatively calm.
