Text: Volume 12, Chapter 2, Section 23 Destruction of Korea

After a night of fierce fighting, the 250,000 Korean troops stationed in Pyongyang had been wiped out, and Wu Xing, the commander of the right-wing army, after inspecting the 100,000 Korean soldiers who had been captured, directly ordered that all these prisoners be killed and not a single one left alive, so as to deter the resistance of the Korean state.

When the soldiers of the Ming army killed more than 100,000 Korean prisoners, Wu Xing also ordered the soldiers of various departments to move tens of thousands of Korean people around the city of Pyongyang to watch. The bloody and brutal scenes of pit killing made all the North Korean people feel chilled and heartbroken.

After the end, Wu Xing did not embarrass the North Korean people, but ordered the release of all tens of thousands of North Korean people.

Seeing this, the generals were a little puzzled, it took a lot of effort for the generals of all ministries to capture tens of thousands of Korean Baixing Pavilion, why did Wu Zongzhen release all the Korean people without doing anything? Is it just to scare the tens of thousands of North Korean people?

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the generals, Wu Xing smiled and said, "Haha! After these North Korean people leave, the news of the annihilation of hundreds of thousands of Korean troops will be spread in the shortest possible time, and the remaining military strength of the Korean state will also collapse! Our army's next offensive will be overwhelming, and the time for the complete destruction of Korea will be greatly shortened! ”

When the generals heard this, they thought it was true.

After that, Wu Xing ordered the officers and men of the Right Route Army to be stationed in Pyongyang City for five days, using these five days to restore the physical strength of the officers and men of the army, and waiting for the tens of thousands of Korean people to spread the news.

Soon, five days passed.

Wu Xing saw that the officers and men of all the troops were full of spirit and high morale, so he ordered the whole army to continue to march eastward towards Seoul.

A day later, just as the soldiers of the Right Route Army were marching rapidly, Wu Xing received an urgent report that the soldiers were not collected at night, and learned that at this time, the king of Joseon, Yi Liang, had fled eastward, and had now fled to Jeonju Fortress in Jeolla Province in the east of Joseon Kingdom, and was recruiting soldiers and horses in Jeonju Castle to prepare for the final struggle.

"Humph! Bite off more than one can chew! ”

Wu Xing snorted coldly in his heart, and ordered the whole army to speed up, and at the same time ordered Gong Jun, the general of the trapped camp, to be the vanguard, and Liu Sanming, the general of the Yingyang battalion, to be the deputy vanguard, and ordered the two to immediately lead more than 15,000 iron cavalry soldiers to open the way for the main army, and kill the city of Quanzhou in advance!

When General Gong Jun and General Liu Sanming heard this, they immediately received the order and immediately led more than 15,000 iron cavalry soldiers under their command to set off. I saw the rolling torrent heading eastward, and the Iron Cavalry army was like a giant dragon rising eastward, killing straight to the east of Jeonju City.

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

When the Korean king Li Ju learned that hundreds of thousands of Korean troops had been completely wiped out by the Ming army, and that none of the 300,000 Japanese troops had survived, he immediately fell to the ground in fright, and the whole person cried on the spot like a child.

And all the ministers of the two classes of North Korea present were also in a mess, and even many people ran away in front of the Korean king Yi Liang, and the entire Korean court was in a mess, as if the end of the world was coming!

"What now?"

At this time, Li Qi no longer had the slightest idea, the upcoming Ming Dynasty King Division would crush the Korean country, and he and the entire Korean nation would become a few lines of handwriting in the history books, and there would never be half a trace left!

"Didn't the Japanese say that they would let the Ming army come and go? For this reason, I also ceded Jeju Island! Now the Japanese have even wiped out their own army, what a point of incompetence! ”

After some self-pity and self-pity, Li Liang's chaotic mind began to think about the future.

"Surrender? Right! Surrender now! My Korean country has always been a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, if the king surrenders, and then cedes some territory, then the Ming emperor will definitely show mercy, at least to save the king's life! ”

Thinking of this, Li Liang shouted loudly and ordered his ministers to draft a letter of surrender.

However, the minister in charge of drafting the national credentials did not move for a long time before he muttered: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has already made up its mind to destroy our Korea, is it useful to surrender now?" ”

Hearing this, Li Liang's face instantly became extremely gray, and the whole person also withered, allowing the ministers under him to disperse, and there was no reaction at all.

After that, for six consecutive days, the king of Joseon, Yi Liang, hid in the palace in Jeonju City, refusing to meet the two groups of ministers who were already anxious, and just having fun with the concubines around him every day.

Some North Korean generals couldn't see any trace of Li Ju for a few days, so they were so anxious that they broke into the palace directly, and said to Li Ju in front of him: "The king is so decadent, is he ready to be the king of the dead country?" ”

Who knew that Li Liang not only did not get angry, but said with a smile: "What if you become the king of the dead country?" You are all ministers of the dead country! Let's finish it together! ”

Seeing that Li Liang was already a little delirious, the generals no longer had any illusions about the current situation, and they should go away together.

After only two days, the two groups of Korean ministers and generals in Jeonju City fled. These Korean military generals either hid in the mountains and wilderness to avoid the war, or went out to sea to find another way out, and even more, many Korean military generals fled to the west with their families, preparing to surrender to the Ming soldiers who swept in!

However, these Korean ministers and generals who tried to surrender to the Ming army did not end well, and they were all ordered by Wu Xing, the commander of the Right Route Army, to be beheaded in public. All of a sudden, the entire Korean country was already clear about the attitude of the Ming army, that is: destroy Korea and refuse to surrender!

After receiving this news, the king of North Korea, Li Liang, was even more mournful, and he didn't even have the mood to have fun, and he cried and cried in the palace all day long, and the whole person was very decadent, like a wasted person.

Even the newly recruited 100,000 Korean recruits in Jeonju City were demoralized after hearing this, and tens of thousands of recruits fled within a few days, and the Korean people in Jeonju City fled one after another, and the huge Jeonju City was like a ghost town, inaccessible!

More than ten days later, Wu Xing, the commander of the Right Route Army, led 220,000 Ming soldiers to arrive at the city of Quanzhou.

At this time, the entire city of Jeonju was almost in a state of undefense, and there were almost no Korean soldiers defending the city, and even several city gates were hidden, and there were no Korean horses, sentinels, and horsemen outside the city.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Yang Guozhu, Huang Fuming, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Gao Hongguang and other general soldiers all looked at each other and rushed to the Chinese army's main formation one after another.

After the generals saw the main general Wu Xing, they asked for battle one after another, preparing to attack the city of Quanzhou.

Wu Xing stared at the city in the distance for a while, then laughed and said to the generals: "It seems that the Korean war is almost over!" ”

After listening to this, the generals looked at Jeonju City in the distance, and they all suddenly realized. While the generals won the final victory, there was a feeling of loss in their hearts, after all, the siege battle that the generals had been looking forward to before was afraid that it would not exist.

Wu Xing took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "Pass the order!" Order Huang Fuming, the chief officer of Haixi Town, to lead the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion to attack Quanzhou City! ”

Huang Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Get the order!" ”

"Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town! I order you to lead your soldiers to attack Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province in the north! ”

Yang Guozhu was also overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "Get the order!" ”

"Tashan Town's Chief Soldier Ai Nengqi! I order you to lead your soldiers to attack Chungcheong-do, Gyeonggi-do, and Gangwon-do in the west! ”

Eneng said loudly with high spirits: "Order! ”

"Li Dingguo, the commander-in-chief of Liaonan, listens to the order! Order you to lead your soldiers to attack all parts of Ping'an Road and Huanghai Road! ”

Li Dingguo said calmly: "Order!" ”

In the end, Wu Xing, the commander of the Right Route Army, said to Gao Hongguang: "Order Gao Hongguang, the chief officer of Taeyong Town, to lead the soldiers of the Yingyang Battalion to attack all parts of Hamgyong Province!" ”

Gao Hongguang said loudly: "Order! ”

After Wu Xing finished speaking, he looked at the five chief soldiers around him and said in a deep voice: "Everyone! The Korean War has come to an end, and our army must sweep through the entire territory of Korea in the shortest possible time and completely eradicate all the remaining forces of the Korean state! ”

After listening to Wu Xing's words, everyone was thoughtful.

Li Dingguo thought for a moment and said: "What does Zongzhen mean is that Zhenguo Gong is ready to annex Korea, not just overthrow the Korean king Yi Liang?" ”

Wu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the National Dynasty fought bloodily and marched thousands of miles eastward, how can they not take some benefits?" Besides, North Korea is my hometown of China, the Great Qin built the Great Wall in Korea to garrison, the Han Empire set up Lelang County and Liaodong County in Korea, and the Tang Dynasty also set up the Andong Protectorate in Korea! Therefore, the meaning of Zhenguo Gong is to rebuild the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty after destroying the Korean State! ”

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but boil their blood and couldn't help themselves, this is to expand the territory, restore the homeland of China, and then raise the emperor's prestige tomorrow! This is a supreme glory that a martial artist has never encountered in his life!

Just after Wu Xing finished speaking, Li Dingguo seemed to remember something and asked: "Dare to ask the general town, I don't know how the prince of Zhenguo is going to deal with the hometown of the Mongolian tribes?" ”

When all the generals heard this, they all looked at Wu Xing, and their eyes were full of fire.

"Zhen Guogong intends to rebuild the Hanhai Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty and the Daning Protectorate in the early years of the Dynasty in the hometown of the Mongolian tribes!"

When the generals heard this, they only felt that their blood was surging and they couldn't help themselves.

After that, the Ming army on the right side of the army divided into several routes, and swept the entire Korean homeland within half a month, and when the Ming army approached the city of Jeonju, the Korean king Li Liang had hanged himself in the palace in the city.

It didn't take long for Wu Xing to lead a large army to capture the entire territory of Korea, and the Korean state was declared extinct. At the same time, the Japanese shogunate general Tokugawa Iemitsu sent an envoy to Wu Xing, the commander of the Right Route Army, to ask for surrender, willing to lead Japan to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute for many years.

Wu Xing had already received an order from Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, to weaken Japan's national strength as much as possible on the premise of not sending troops, so as to send troops to conquer in the future.

Therefore, while sending an envoy to Beijing, Wu Xing put forward the conditions of paying an annual tribute of 1 million taels of silver, 1.5 million stone of grain, and 200,000 heads of cattle and sheep and other livestock, and Japan should unconditionally obey any requisition of the Ming Dynasty, and sent the eldest son of the shogun and the eldest son of the Japanese emperor to Beijing as hostages.

After receiving the conditions proposed by Wu Xing, the Japanese shogunate general Tokugawa Iemitsu, in the face of the almost completely destroyed military power in the country, he could only smash his teeth and swallow his stomach, and agreed to all of them.

Eighteen days later, the messenger arrived in the capital.

At this point, the armies of the Emperor and Ming on both sides of the expedition were all victorious, and the Mongol tribes and the Korean state were destroyed one after another! All of a sudden, the whole country of the Ming Dynasty shook, the world celebrated, Emperor Chongzhen even sacrificed to the temple for three consecutive days, and ordered seven holy decrees to reward the meritorious soldiers!
