Li Fangyuan is a legendary figure in Korean history, resourceful, resolute and decisive, and his thesis talent is also the talent of Goryeo Jinshi. In his early years, he helped his father Li Chenggui to seek power and usurp the throne, and later launched two princely rebellions, killing his younger brothers Li Fangshuo and Li Fangfan, forcing his father Li Chenggui to take the throne of Li Fangguo, exiled his brother Li Fanggan, and forced his brother Li Fangguo to be located in him, he is a figure similar to Li Shimin, of course, in the hearts of the Korean people, Li Fangyuan's talent is still above Li Shimin.

In the era without Zhu Yunwen, Li Fangyuan and Zhu Di fought wits and courage, Yang Feng Yin violated, and the Ming Dynasty dispelled the idea of re-establishing Helan Mansion and Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion, and finally the Ming Dynasty moved Tielingwei to Liaodong, forming a place name in Liaoning in later generations, but a large area of territory east of the Yalu River and east of the Tumen River was lost forever.

It's just that in this time and space, Li Fangyuan's situation is much worse, since the Ming court forcibly seized Lelang Mansion and forced it to give up Xijing, he moved the capital from Kaijing to Hanjing, and at the same time tried his courage to contact the Wa Kingdom and Mongolia, intending to fight with the Ming Dynasty and regain the lost territory. Since sending the envoys, Li Fangyuan has often woken up in his sleep, and when he wakes up, he is covered in cold sweat, and then he can't sleep, and he can only sleep when he is extremely tired.

In order to stop himself from having nightmares, he was reckless and frantically recruited, so that Bian Zhongliang, Jin Fuchuan, Yin Chenggui and others stepped up training, and imitated the muskets of the Ming court, and even planned to imitate the naval artillery and tiger squat cannon of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately it did not succeed. In addition, Li Fangyuan sank a ship in the Han River and nailed down wooden stakes to prevent the Ming court sailors from going up the river. This caused dissatisfaction among the people along the Han River, but Li Fangyuan couldn't care about it.

However, this afternoon, the envoy to the Ming Dynasty, Pu Chengying, came back and brought a reply from the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, Li Fangyuan's dream was shattered, and he had to fight with the Ming Dynasty.

In all fairness, Li Fangyuan didn't want to start a war with the Ming Dynasty, he just wanted to take back the land east of the Yalu River and the Tumen River to protect his own safety, so although he sent people to contact the anti-Ming Dynasty, he still hoped to surrender without a fight. When the Mongol army entered Liaodong, he immediately sent an envoy to the Ming court, declaring that the Jurchens were unruly, rebelled repeatedly, and were difficult to manage, and he was willing to assist the Ming to manage the Jurchens. If the Ming Dynasty did not like the Jurchens, they could drive all the Jurchens across the Yalu River, and North Korea promised not to let the Jurchens cross the Yalu River again; If the Ming Dynasty must naturalize the Jurchens, North Korea can also send troops to assist.

With such conditions, Li Fangyuan felt that he had fulfilled his benevolence and righteousness. As long as North Korea withdraws, there will be a big hole in the anti-Ming encirclement, and all parties will not be able to communicate, and the stars will inevitably disperse and disintegrate; The Jurchens, in particular, could only accept naturalization obediently without the support of North Korea, and were powerless to resist.

However, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty did not hesitate to reject Yin Chengying's suggestion, and Yin Chengying's request to meet the emperor was also refused.

Recalling Yin Chengying's description and the news that Hou Shengyong arrived in Pyongyang five days ago and that Pyongyang Nampo Port was under martial law, Li Fangyuan held his forehead and closed his eyes in pain......

At the end of last year, his fourth brother Li Fanggan appeared in Pyongyang, he was already the "Marquis of Lelang" of the Ming Dynasty, and had an army composed of Ming, Koreans, and Jurchens. Ever since Li Fanggan openly appeared in Pyongyang, Li Fanggan's old subordinates, as well as those who were dissatisfied with him, rushed to defect, and his influence became more and more significant. In recent days, the Ming court's "Le Lang Xun Bao" also published an article by Li Fanggan, in which he called on the Korean people to rise up against their perverse actions and join the command of the Great Tomorrow.

Alas, how did this fourth brother become like this? How did this prince, who was known for his unruliness at the beginning, become the dog of the Ming people?

"No, no! I'm not reconciled! ”

"What's wrong with you, King? Wake up! ”

"Ahh

Li Fangyuan opened his eyes, looked around, gasped non-stop, and finally even coughed, Queen Yuanjing beside him hurriedly helped him and gently patted Li Fangyuan's back: "King, have you had a nightmare again?" ”

Li Fangyuan nodded and said in a low voice: "Queen, you sleep, this king goes out for a walk." ”

"The king, the concubine will accompany you."

"No need, this king wants to be quiet."

It's already sublime time, and the heat of the day has dissipated, replaced by a cool evening breeze. Li Fangyuan took a deep breath of cool air, feeling that the heat in his heart had disappeared a lot, and when he raised his eyes, the palace was quiet, without a sound.

Li Fangyuan slowly walked to the tower of the palace wall and looked at the south pole, but unfortunately it was blocked by the city wall and he couldn't see anything, but Li Fangyuan knew that it was Jianghua Bay, and only a small part of his Hanjiang sailors were stationed there, which played a role as an early warning.

Kings are all lonely.

When Lelang Mansion was just ceded, the Korean people were excited, and they wanted to fight with the Ming Dynasty, and the old minister Li Shu was full of grief and anger, and soon died of illness.

However, after that, it was different, and he tried his own courage to recover the lost land, but the courtiers and the people slowly changed their views. The area north of Pyongyang was originally a barren land, all of which were Jurchen barbarians, and the Jurchens often came to loot in the past, and the garrison repeatedly fought with them; However, since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many fewer cases of harassment by the Jurchens, and even if they came here, they were for refuge, and they did not dare to have the intention of looting. Therefore, for border people, border generals, and courtiers, life has become more stable, and there is no need to be afraid anymore.

Some people even said that the imperial court's policy of naturalizing Jurchens was very good, and the barbarians no longer dared to make trouble, so they could only farm obediently, which was very beneficial to North Korea. This trend first came out of the mouths of businessmen who often did business with the Ming Dynasty, but gradually formed a trend of thought in the government and the opposition. After hearing about it, he immediately sent someone to investigate thoroughly, but in the end, it was over, because he had no right to govern the Ming people, damn consular jurisdiction!

Speaking of consuls, that annoying Bai Wangru was transferred back a year ago, this person is unlearned, unskilled, and has no bearing of a great country at all, and when he was in office, he wantonly favored the Ming merchants, which caused the Korean people's resentment to boil, and he was also indignant, eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, and repeatedly sent envoys to appeal to the Ming court. Later, the imperial court sent a man named Yan Bowei, who was said to have been the prefect of Jining in the past.

Yan Bowei was fair, never partial, and the Ming businessmen who were traitors were punished one by one, and also compensated the injured Koreans in accordance with the law, and everyone later found out that the Ming law was much fairer than the North Korean law, and the Ming consul was more honest than the North Korean officials. Slowly, the wind turned again, and some Koreans fled to Lelang Mansion to become Mingren; There are also some North Koreans who ask Ming people to partner in business, so that they will not be oppressed by corrupt officials in North Korea.

In the end, I found out that it was better for Bai Wangru to be a consul all the time......

......

The next day, the morning meeting.

When Li Fangyuan was discussing political affairs with the courtiers, Jin Tanxuan, who was in charge of the palace guards, walked in in a panic, knelt down and saluted: "King, the consul of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Yan, is asking to see him outside, saying that he wants to read the holy decree of the Ming Emperor. ”

"Divine decree?"

Li Fangyuan "chuckled" in his heart, is he finally coming? He suddenly felt his heart beating violently, his lips were a little dry, and he said after a while: "Then hurry up and invite Lord Yan in." ”

"Yes."

After a short time, Yan Bowei, the thin consul of the Ming Dynasty, who was wearing a scarlet official uniform, walked in slowly. Yan Bowei held the holy decree in his hand, stared at Li Fangyuan with a cold face, and said loudly: "Where is Li Fangyuan, the governor of North Korea?" Emperor Daming is here to be, and he doesn't take the decree quickly! ”

Li Fangyuan hesitated for a moment before stepping down from the throne and kneeling in front of Yan Bowei, and the other courtiers also knelt down together, and for a while, in the main hall, only Yan Bowei was still standing.

Yan Bowei unfolded the holy decree and said loudly: "

Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said:

Li Fangyuan, the governor of North Korea, colluded with Yan and intended to rebel, but the evidence was conclusive, so he was removed from the post of governor of state affairs and replaced by Li Fanggan, Marquis of Lelang.

Li Fangyuan and a group of criminals were brought back to Beijing by Luo Kening, the command room of the Liaodong Water Division, and handed over to Dali Temple to be punished!

”

"Li Fangyuan, take the order!"
