The city of Pyongyang at this time was a little larger than the smaller cities of Uiju, Jeongju, and Anju east of the Yalu River, but it was not much bigger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If those small cities have only one main street in addition to the city walls, then Pyongyang has only two main streets, about half the size of them.

Since Joseon has maintained the status of the Ming vassal state politically since the Ming Dynasty, the Joseons' castles are generally relatively small, and the walls are of course relatively low.

Especially in the face of the Ming Dynasty, the side facing Liaodong is not allowed to have tall and strong city defense facilities.

It is precisely because of this that the Jianyu Houjin army, which did not have much experience in siege, was able to attack the city all the way to the north like no one in the face of the North Korean city after arriving in North Korea.

Because the Koreans never figured out the situation, and it was the undoubted Ming army that entered the city, Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingzhi did not encounter strong resistance after entering the city.

In addition, the population in the city was not very large, counting the thousands of Han people who fled here, it was only about 20,000, including the Korean army brought by Yin Xuan and their families, servants, tenants, etc.

So even if Yin Xuan wanted to resist, the Korean army in the city did not meet the opponent of the Fuzhou army that the North Koreans were like wolves.

In fact, Yin Xuan heard the doorkeeper report that the Ming army of Dongjiang Town rushed into the city from the west gate, and shouted that Shunchang was rebellious, and soon knew that the resistance was futile, and he couldn't tell them reason, so he fled from the east gate with his cronies without saying a word.

Yoon Hyun, who escaped from Pyongyang City, did not run directly back to Hankyung, the capital of North Korea, this time.

This Hankyung was also called Hanyang at that time, and the common people commonly called it Seoul.

Yin Xuan didn't run back directly, not because he was afraid that the Korean lord Li Cong would clean him up, but because he felt that it was the Ming army after all, and he was not as afraid as the last time he faced the Jin army after the capture of Jian.

He had contact with the Ming army, and he also dealt with the Ming army in Dongjiang Town because of various things.

Because the Ming army in Dongjiang Town has never been a model of gentleness and frugality, just in the first two years, Dongjiang Town, which was short of food and salary, did not ask for food or extort food and salary from the Anping Supervision Division, and every time as long as a little food and salary were given, they would be safe.

Once Dongjiang Town made too much trouble, the Anping Supervisor, who was in charge of the two northern provinces, would ask the Korean lord to write to the Ming court, asking His Majesty the Ming Emperor to have mercy on the small and poor people of the Korean country.

And every time the Korean lord submits a letter, he will basically be dealt with satisfactorily.

Although North Korea did not dare to do anything with Donggang Town, North Korea was able to put pressure on Donggang Town through the Ming Dynasty court, so that Dongjiang Town could restrain its behavior and restrain the Han people who fled to Donggang Town.

Therefore, this time, Yin Xuan was also not worried that the Ming army in Donggang Town would dare to occupy Pyongyang City.

In his opinion, this time it is likely that this time, as in the past, Dongjiang Town, which had just finished the victory, needed to reward the meritorious soldiers through this way of calmly looting soldiers.

One of the reasons why Yin Xuan thinks this is that Dongjiang Town has indeed done this before, but he didn't dare to do it so big and so well, and he still has to take into account the face of the North Korean government.

Another reason is that just after the Jianguo invaded Korea, and at the hands of the agreement reached and the Jianguo retreated, the former Jianguo Erbeile Amin allowed the blue flag to be burned and looted on a large scale, and it lasted for three days, robbing a large amount of wealth and population before he was willing to withdraw his troops.

This time, Yin Xuan took it for granted that Dongjiang Town would not be more than the Jin army after the capture of the country, after all, they were the Ming army, and there were many knowledgeable civil officials above them!

For a gentleman, you can not only bind him with courtesy, but also deceive him!

That's what Yin Xuan thought.

And all along, the country of North Korea has always done this on the issue of how to treat the Ming court!

The so-called binding is polite and bullying, to put it bluntly, it is to bring you a high hat and kidnap you with ethics and morality, such as praising you, saying that you are the country of etiquette, saying that you are the most benevolent and moral, saying that you are the most capable of presiding over justice and supporting the weak or something, so that you can't tear your face and kill him!

North Korea's treatment of the Ming Dynasty did not work at all in the face of the Jin army after the capture of the country, because the Jin army did not eat this set at all.

However, these tricks of the Koreans are very good every time they deal with those civil officials who are born in the Ming Dynasty, and they have fought many battles and killed many people for the Ming Dynasty, but they have not received any benefits and sweetness.

Such a stupid policy certainly cannot be sustained any longer!

Therefore, in a series of instructions to Dongjiang Town, Emperor Chongzhen has never mentioned anything not to damage the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and the Korean clans, and has always taken the attitude of taking what is desirable and not asking questions.

Emperor Chongzhen's attitude, through the two visits of the two great eunuchs Gao Shiming and Chu Xianxian, as well as the emperor's secret decree again and again, has long made Mao Wenlong aware of it.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong, who had coveted North Korea for a long time, didn't care what the Liu Brotherhood would do to Pyongyang City, because he was also busy leading several other Ming troops in Dongjiang Town to occupy land east of the Yalu River and west of the Datong River, and distribute the land according to the years he followed and the number of beheadings in the previous wars.

Because the land on land in Donggang Town is now enough, that is, the land of Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province originally, and the total number of troops and people in Donggang Town is only 300,000 at present, so it is not difficult to divide it.

After Mao Wenlong summoned the deputy commanders of several general soldiers in the original Dongjiang Town, and clarified the order of the encirclement and the standard level of distribution, all that remained was to preside over the handling of the contradictions and disputes between the soldiers and horses of all walks of life.

Of course, there are disputes in the process of encirclement and distribution, and the disputes within the various armies are resolved internally, and the disputes between the various armies require the personal intervention of Marshal Anton Hou Mao.

Although the towns and villages on the east bank of the Yalu River and the Taedong River have been destroyed by the successive battles between Donggang Town and the Kim Army after the establishment of the captivity, there are basically not many Korean soldiers and civilians left.

But in some relatively remote places, there are still some North Korean villages hidden.

For these people who did not flee and were not plundered by Jianqing, Anton Hou Mao Wenlong had only one military order, that is, either be slaves or die.

As for the land, since it was snatched by the soldiers of Donggang Town from Jianyu in a victorious battle, there is naturally no reason to leave it to others, including those Koreans who hid and survived.

Therefore, after a few days, the envoy sent by Yin Xuan finally landed on Phi Dao, found Mao Wenlong's Andong Hou Mansion on Phi Dao, that is, his original marshal's mansion, and reported to him the atrocities of the Right Route Army in Donggang Town in and around Pyongyang City, Mao Wenlong just laughed it off.

The emperor named Liu Xingzuo as the uncle of Pyongyang, although it increased the difficulty of his wooing, but the emperor ordered the Liu Xingzuo brothers to be incorporated into Dongjiang Town, as a way under his command, and the soldiers, horses, money and food were subject to his control, and at the same time created conditions for him to win over.

Historically, Mao Wenlong did have the ambition to destroy North Korea and replace it.

Now Emperor Chongzhen has made him a marquis, allowing him to fulfill his long-cherished wish in his life, but he has not completely extinguished his deep heart to replace Korea or destroy Korea and stand on his own.

Although the emperor now trusts him very much and treats him well, if the time arises in the future, he will not miss the opportunity to replace Joseon and claim the title of Haidong.

However, what he didn't know was that his idea coincided with the Liu Xingzuo brothers, who had just returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway and had not yet stood firm on their heels.

What he didn't know was that now Emperor Chongzhen had already been aware of their little thoughts.

However, in any case, they are still fellow travelers, and it is optimistic that Mao Wenlong was anxious to seize the city of Pyongyang with Liu Xingzuo, and encouraged the Han people in the city to wantonly loot and slaughter the young and old and weak Koreans, leaving only young women.

Because in his opinion, this is also to clear the obstacles in advance for him to destroy North Korea one day in the future.
