Chapter 31: The Turmoil in Moving the Capital
Just after the Japanese army invaded the interior of Korea with the strength of Konishi Yukinaga and Kato Kiyomasa.
After the fall of North Korea's territory one after another, the North Korean people and even the North Korean officials and soldiers were also trying to flee for their lives.
At this moment, His Royal Highness Xuanzu had no choice but to announce the decree of moving the capital in the court, and then hurriedly set up his own prince, Guanghaijun.
At this moment, there were also two imperial courts in the Korean court, and the situation of the division of the northern and southern courts had also been formed under the announcement of Seonjo of Joseonjo.
At this moment, Seonjo was going to flee further north, leaving only the prince Gwanghaejun to defend the capital of Korea.
At this moment, the strength left by Xuanzu to Wang Shizi is less than 7,000 people, how can this force block the many attacks of the Japanese Kou.
In the end, Seonjo of Joseon even threatened Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun) to guard the capital alone after passing the throne to Wang Shizi.
As a result, Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun) was finally forced to accept Seonjo's request and the fact that he would move the capital, and in the eyes of other ministers, if Seonjo wanted to move the capital, he would abandon his own people and country.
However, His Royal Highness Seonjo finally decided to move the capital against public opinion, and at this moment, the fate of His Royal Highness Seonjo, the king of Joseon, is in the hands of the people.
If the people swear to follow Seonjo of Joseon, then the king of Joseon and the people will have to exist.
On the other hand, if the Korean people abandon the Joseon king, Seonjo, then there will be no need for the Joseon king and the people to exist.
At this moment, the cunning Kato Kiyomasa had already advanced an hour earlier than the agreed time and was advancing towards Hanyang, the capital of North Korea.
According to the Korean minister's statement, the army of the first Japanese invaders will attack Anyang in two days.
So His Royal Highness Seonjo of North Korea was on a stormy night, and Seonjo of North Korea finally carried out the operation of moving the capital to the north.
At this time, Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun) was originally designated by Seonjo as the general to defend the city, but at the suggestion of the Korean minister, Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun) was replaced by someone else.
But at this moment, Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) insisted on staying in the capital, because Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) thought so in his heart.
If a robber is encountered in a people's home, then the man in the people's family must stand up to protect his family.
However, at this moment, the king of Joseon, Seonjo, abandoned his people and official army to go to the northern frontier of Korea just to survive.
At this moment, Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun), who swore to defend the capital, refused to leave the capital to defend the people and officials of the capital.
However, the edict of King Seonjo of Joseon was given to Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun), and finally he patiently accepted the kindness of Seonjo of Joseon.
followed Seonjo all the way to the northern frontier of North Korea, but at this moment, it was at the moment when His Royal Highness Seonjo was about to leave the capital.
However, the people of the Korean capital blocked the advance of Seonjo, and the people of Korea also took the opportunity to form a rebellion among the Korean people in the early morning of April 30, 1592.
And this day was less than half a month before the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and after His Royal Highness Xuanzu moved the capital, the refugees began to burn down the Tibetan Yuan and the criminal Cao.
They even broke into the palace to loot and burn down the palace, and the famous Gyeongbokgung Palace was burned down by the rebels during this period.
However, Gyeongbokgung Palace, which is gradually burning down at this moment, is a sign that the country of North Korea is going to perish.
Because at this moment, it is not only a Gyeongbokgung Palace, but also the entire North Korean country, and it is the useless two-class official system in North Korea.
Later, His Royal Highness Seonjo of North Korea arrived at Biho Pavilion to escape the war, but at this moment, the Ming Dynasty had a rebellion in southern Xinjiang.
This news was great news for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Wako Kingdom, and he always hoped that the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty would be as strong as possible.
At this moment, the rapidly rising Jurchen tribe in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty not only became a threat to the Ming Dynasty in the future, but also became the last gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty.
In Toyotomi Hideyoshi's calculations, if he attacked the Liaodong region of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, he would need to use the forces of North Korea to deal with the powerful force of the Jurchens.
At the same time, there was always a dispute in the Korean court about where to hold on, and His Royal Highness Seonjo of Joseon at this time was determined to hold on to Pyongyang.
This has also brought the DPRK's public sentiment to a little tighter, but it is still unclear whether it will be able to hold on to Pyongyang.
On May 3, 1592, Konishi Yukinaga, the Japanese invaded the Korean capital of Hanyang.
At this moment, Konishi Yukinaga saw all the scenes of the dilapidated capital of Joseon, and only after arriving at Gyeongbokgung Palace, the king of Joseon, did he find that the palace had been burned down by the Korean people.
The angry governor Konishi Yukicho scolded His Royal Highness the Korean lord Seonjo for not capturing His Royal Highness the Joseon King Seonjo alive.
At this moment, His Royal Highness Seonjo was also questioning the minister, and dismissed Lord Li Shanhai (Bi Chao) and Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) at the same time.
At this moment, the Korean court received the news that Hanyang was occupied, because at this moment, the capital marshal Kim Myeong-won and the deputy marshal Shin Xu also had the general Li Yang-won who stayed in the capital.
When the Wako appeared south of the Han River, they fled without resistance, and Hanyang was only a day away from the Biho Pavilion.
If you calculate carefully, if you ride a horse, you can kill the place where Seonjo is in two hours.
At this time, Konishi Yukicho had also received an order from the chief Ukita Naoya in the Korean capital, waiting for the arrival of the other armies of the Japanese Invaders.
He also prepared to pacify the people near the Korean capital, and let the people of Hanyang, North Korea, be a living force for the surrender of the Japanese invaders.
At this moment, in order to appease the Korean people, the Japanese distributed the grain plundered by the Japanese and even the military rations of the Japanese to the Korean people.
At this moment, the Korean people were happy because of the grain distribution by the Japanese invaders, which also showed that the Japanese invaders' plan to divide Korea was about to succeed.
At this moment, there was another happy news in North Gyeongsang Province, and General Sha Ye, a subordinate of Kato Kiyomasa, from the second vanguard of the Japanese Invaders, led his 3,000 men to surrender to the Yamen of North Gyeongsang Province in North Korea.
The reason for the surrender was that these generals were able to return to their hometowns after the civil war.
But I didn't expect to be conscripted and transferred to Korea to fight against the Ming Dynasty in the country of the Japanese invaders, so at this moment, the Japanese who really missed their hometown wanted to give up their weapons and join the Korean official army.
At this time, General Sha Ya had always believed that the rebellion launched by Toyotomi Hideyoshi was an illegal invasion, and he led 3,000 soldiers to surrender to the Korean officers and troops shortly after the Japanese invaded Korea.
After that, he made great contributions in fighting with the Korean officials and soldiers and the volunteers, and was finally appointed by Seonjo as a Jeong-2pin and Hyun Dae-doctor and was given the name Kim Chung-sun for his merits.
North Korea also obtained the most advanced bird guns and bullets, as well as the methods of making and using them, through Sha Ye.
In the turmoil of Seonjo's relocation of the capital, the Korean court has undergone great changes, and with the loss of many places in Korea, where will the next fallen city be.
And whether other cities can be defended under the defense of the defenders is really unknown, so holding on to other places will also become a very difficult task.
