Chapter 39: Pyongyang is defeated

Just after the Korean naval army achieved an unprecedented victory in the naval battle of Xianshan Island, the Ming Dynasty also sent military support forces as many as 5,000 soldiers.

And because the 2,000 members of the advance army were wiped out by the Japanese invaders, not a single soldier turned back alive to report to the deputy commander-in-chief Zu Chengxun.

Therefore, at this time, General Zu Chengxun, who was still unknown, personally led his troops to Pyongyang, North Korea, accompanied by Lord Yoo Chenglong (Zhao Kun).

And at this moment, Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) and General Zu Chengxun, who were more cautious, heard again that the Japanese had fled and abandoned the city overnight before the Ming officials and troops came.

He didn't even have time to take away 100,000 stone of grain, which also made Zu Chengxun very happy when he heard it.

But the cautious Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) always felt that something was wrong, because Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) didn't believe that so many would-be robbers were just afraid of the 3,000 Ming officials.

So at the suggestion of Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun), the deputy general of General Zu Chengxun came to the people in Pyongyang to ask what happened.

Unexpectedly, the people who came to me actually said in unison that it was the Japanese who didn't even dare to bring military rations and fled overnight.

So it was only after Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) confirmed that he found that the people's words were credible, so he asked General Zu Chengxun.

led troops to rescue the North Korean city of Pyongyang, but waited until General Zu Chengxun led his troops into the city of Pyongyang.

It was welcomed by the people of Pyongyang who cheered and cheered, but behind this hypocritical scene, it was the Japanese who had already erected their guns on the heights.

At this moment, the direction of the bird gun was aiming at the Ming official army, just after a crisp voice sounded.

As a bullet was fired from the bird's gun, one of Zu Chengxun's lieutenants was shot and died, and fell to the ground from his horse.

Before Zu Chengxun could understand what was going on, a group of Korean people rushed out of the shadows together with the Japanese invaders.

And when Zu Chengxun understood, he found that the Korean people in front of him had surrendered to the Japanese invaders.

and had long become the obedient people of the Japanese Kou, so he gave the order for the entire Ming army to retreat.

However, it was too late to retreat at this moment, because the Korean Shunmin and the Japanese had already surrounded the 3,000 soldiers and horses led by General Zu Chengxun.

So after a period of fighting, General Zu Chengxun and dozens of his entourage finally broke out of the encirclement, and after returning to a safe place in North Korea, General Zu Chengxun still had palpitations.

And after annihilating the 5,000 official troops of the Ming Dynasty, it is still a secret why Governor Konishi did not continue to go north to capture His Royal Highness Xuanzu.

It was because Konishi Yukinaga did not continue to go north that the Joseon Imperial Court and His Royal Highness Seonjo were given a chance to breathe and turn the tide of the war.

When the news of the defeat of General Zu Chengxun was transmitted to Yiju, Joseon Seonjo looked at the failure of Zu Chengxun with great sadness.

And it was the failure of General Zu Chengxun that caused the Ming Dynasty to finally begin to pay attention to the Japanese at this moment.

You must know that among the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, there are Liaodong soldiers who are brave and good at fighting, and the most capable of fighting and winning battles are Liaodong soldiers.

However, after so many Liaodong soldiers were buried in Korea, it also made the Ming Wanli Emperor feel extremely shocked.

And at this moment, from the north of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty sent a new guerrilla general, Shen Weijing.

It is such a big liar who can deceive the three countries of the Japanese Kou, the Ming Dynasty, and the DPRK, and will play the three countries between applause in the future.

And at this moment, His Royal Highness Xuanzu was disappointed after seeing that the Ming Dynasty only sent one general, but did not send troops.

Only one guerrilla general was sent as an envoy to meet His Royal Highness Seonjo, and no soldiers from the Celestial Empire were sent to rescue Korea.

At this moment, Shen Weijing was sent as an envoy for mediation, and Shen Weijing at this moment raised sharp questions about the doubts of the North Korean ministers.

However, Shen Weijing had to talk to His Royal Highness Xuanzu alone, so as not to let those Korean ministers interfere.

At this moment, Shen Weijing will meet and negotiate with Governor Konishi of the Japanese in Pyongyang, and the content of the negotiations cannot be known to His Royal Highness Seonjo of North Korea.

This was also bound to cause strong dissatisfaction among His Royal Highness Xuanzu and the courtiers, and Shen Weijing wanted to stop the war by negotiating with the Japanese Invaders alone.

As for the current situation, North Korea has lost a large part of its territory and killed and injured countless Korean civilians and officers and soldiers after the invasion by the Japanese invaders.

Even the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers had 5,000 officers and soldiers who died under the cruel swords and birds of the Japanese Kou.

It is really incomprehensible for future generations to have room for negotiation in this way, but at this moment, for Da Ming, Da Ming has just put down the rebellion.

5,000 troops have been sent to Korea to support, but after all the troops are destroyed, it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to North Korea.

The most important thing in the war at this moment is to win the battle, and the highest way to win is to surrender the army without a fight as the best strategy.

Moreover, if the Ming Dynasty really wants to fight with the Japanese pirates on the small island, it will not gain any benefits, because even if it wins, it will only recover the territory of North Korea.

The country of the Japanese is so far away, and the territory of a small country is not much, even if it is a redeployment of troops, the losses must be minimized.

And the only way to recover the territory and save His Royal Highness King Seonjo of Joseon is to negotiate peace, and the main point is that this Shen Weijing and the in-laws of Lord Shixing (Liu Weihua), the secretary of the military department, are neighbors.

I heard that the Ming Dynasty was looking for a talent who could solve the Korean incident, so I immediately went to Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua) to recommend myself to be in charge of this matter.

And those who know Shen Weijing know that although he is a good debater, Shen Weijing is indeed a duplicitous person and is not trustworthy at all.

However, Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua) promoted him because of his good Japanese ability, but Shen Weijing deceived the Ming Dynasty and colluded with Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua), the secretary of the Ministry of War.

After holding secret negotiations with the Japanese Kou, he was called an international liar by the world, but at this moment, Wang Shizi Guanghaijun, who learned that he was going to negotiate, did not approve of the negotiations.

Therefore, some ministers suggested that no matter what the content and outcome of the negotiations were, as long as Wang Shizi Guanghaijun and the ministers did not listen.

At this moment, Shen Weijing was going to Pyongyang alone to negotiate with Governor Konishi of the First Vanguard Army.

And the people who don't want Shen Weijing to negotiate at this moment are led by Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun).

However, Shen Weijing asked for orders from His Royal Highness Xuanzu, and if anyone stopped the negotiations, they would be killed.

So at this moment, Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun), who wanted to stop the negotiation, could only look at Shen Weijing's back and slowly leave.

And just after Shen Weijing arrived in Pyongyang City, he really met and negotiated with Governor Konishi.

And at this moment, Shen Weijing was still smiling at Governor Konishi in the midst of the army, which also made Governor Konishi a little impressed.

In the secret talks with Governor Konishi, whether or not the dignity and territorial integrity of the DPRK can be preserved depends on Shen Weijing's next step.
