Chapter 165: Confusion After Victory
Tang Myung reaped the spoils of war on Jeju Island, and Takeo sounded the horn of attack as the sun rose. The general who defended the city was an old antique who did not know how to be flexible, just like Fang Xiaoru in the past, in order to be worthy of the previous emperor's entrustment, regardless of Wutai's control under Takeo, he insisted on resisting him to the end.
Takeo was very angry about this, but in addition to being angry, he also admired the generals who defended the city, so he did not let An Deshan take Wutai out as a threat, he respected the loyalty of the generals who defended the city, but he would never let go of this kind of person.
There was no siege war, this was an agreement reached between the two sides, in order not to implicate the people and all the buildings and facilities in Seoul, both sides tacitly chose the two armies to face each other directly. The plains outside the city became the best battlefield.
The generals defending the city actually knew that they would be defeated, even if they didn't get out of the city, it would only delay for some more time, and the entire ancient dynasty had fallen into the hands of Takeo, and they had no backup, so they were destined to be the losing side.
Only a few hundred people were willing to fight with him, most of them his own soldiers and his most loyal men. In the face of more than ten times more troops than themselves, there was no fear on their faces, and they all clenched the big swords in their hands, and their hearts were full of the battle intent to fight to the death.
Takeo looked at the hundreds of people who had died generously in front of him, and he regretted it, but even if he was reluctant, he couldn't keep them. He sent only 3,000 soldiers so that his soldiers would not lose too much in this battle.
Three thousand people against a few hundred, this should have been an easy victory, but because the other side was fighting with a certain heart of death, it still caused huge losses to Takeo's three thousand soldiers in the end.
Scarlet blood splashed on the battlefield, and the sound of killing resounded throughout Seoul, although the number of the defending generals in the frenzied killing was drastically reduced, but they were becoming more and more brave the more they fought, and their momentum was so great that Takeo's 3,000 soldiers faintly had the possibility of rout.
In order to boost his morale, Takeo hurriedly sent another 2,000 soldiers to surround him, and did not join the battlefield. The increase in pressure and momentum gave the soldiers courage, and the side of the defending generals was already at the end of the strong bow, and after a burst of killing, they were all killed.
The Takeo side was victorious, but the faces of the soldiers did not have the smile after the victory, and some only had heavy faces. A few hundred against three thousand killed more than twice as many opponents, and the number of dead and wounded was as fast as two thousand.
Takeo was also full of solemnity, and ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and the dead soldiers on either side had to be properly buried, and then he entered the city with the rest of his men.
Back in the palace after a long absence, Takeo stroked the supreme seat of the ancient dynasty, the position he had been waiting for for nearly ten years, and today it was finally presented in perfect condition. Takeo gently moved his fat body and sat down carefully.
An Deshan, who followed behind him, knelt down smartly and shouted Long live the king, and pushed Wu Tai forward by the way. Looking at his biological brother, seeing his delirious appearance, for some reason all of a sudden resentment towards him disappeared.
"Take him down! Together with his family and subordinates, he was sent to Jeju Island, where the Marquis of Tang was arranged, saying that it was a prisoner given to him by the king. "When Takeo sat on the long-awaited throne, it was as if he had suddenly lost all interest. This moment fulfilled a dream he had dreamed of for many years, but it also made him feel empty and lost, and he didn't know what to do next.
Takeo was in a bad mood, and An Deokshan didn't dare to stay longer, so he used the excuse of escorting Wutai to Jeju Island and then slipping away.
Compared with Takeo's blankness, Tang Ming was much more cheerful, more than 3,000 island country sailors, all of whom were young and middle-aged, were all arranged to work in the hardest and dirtiest places, and each of them set a task, if anyone couldn't finish it, they would have no food.
An Deshan came, and he also arrived with Wu Tai, which surprised Tang Ming, it didn't make sense that Wu Tai didn't kill Wu Tai!
An Deshan pulled Tang Ming aside and explained: "My king ordered me to bring Wu Tai and his family to Tang Hou Ye for arrangement, and also ask Hou Ye to enter the palace tomorrow to meet my king, and then he will announce your identity and the fate of Jeju Island in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers." ”
The promise was about to be fulfilled so soon, and Takeo's cheerfulness made Tang Ming secretly praise in his heart, and ordered someone to detain Wutai and the others first. Tang Ming beckoned An Deshan to have dinner together, and after a few glasses of wine, he asked tentatively: "Why didn't the king kill Wu Tai, but brought him and his family to me, what does it mean, I hope Lord Shangshu will tell you one or two." ”
An Deshan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't hide it from the Marquis Tang, I don't know why the king suddenly decided next time, as a courtier, he really shouldn't guess the king's thoughts, but looking at his expression, he seems to be unable to bear to attack Wu Tai." ”
"I didn't expect the king to be a benevolent monarch, so I'll ask you about this when I go to the palace tomorrow." Looking at An Deshan's face, Tang Ming knew that he had not deceived him, and it would only be in vain to ask any more questions.
After chatting with An Deshan for a while, Tang Ming sent the vegetables produced in the greenhouse greenhouse by the way, and asked An Deshan to bring them to Takeo.
Driven by Tang Myeong, Jeju Island began to undergo earth-shaking changes, the stone houses at the foot of Ba Na Mountain have been built, and now the city wall is still missing, as long as the city wall is built, everyone can say goodbye to the wild accommodation and move to a new house.
Everything settled down, and Jeju Island really belonged to Tang Myung from now on. Everything settled down, and the only thing that gave him a headache was Fang Xiaoru.
Since this old guy vomited bitter water in front of him last time, he seemed to have changed as if he was a different person, and he came to him at every turn to talk about Chen Jialan's marriage. was stalked for nearly a month, Tang Ming really couldn't withstand Fang Xiaoru's entanglement, so he had to promise him that as long as the house was built, he would marry Chen Jialan.
I was thinking of using this to delay time, but I didn't expect those prisoners of war from the island country to work so hard, and the small town under Ba Na Mountain was about to be completed, and the smile on the face of Fang Xiaoru, the old guy, was getting brighter and brighter day by day.
I heard that Mrs. Fang had told Chen Jialan about this, and I thought that Chen Jia; Lan would have refused, but she never expected that she would not react at all. For this reason, Tang Ming also secretly talked to Chen Jialan.
Chen Jialan didn't respond to Tang Ming directly, only gave him a mysterious smile, and then disappeared, and now even if Tang Ming wanted to find her, he couldn't find her.
This night, Tang Ming had insomnia, and he did not resist getting married, Chen Jialan is a good woman, and I believe that she will also be a good wife and mother. It stands to reason that he doesn't have any shirking to accept Fang Xiaoru's arrangement.
But he still can't let go of his wife and family in his previous life, whenever he thinks of Chen Jialan, he always unconsciously thinks of his wife in his previous life, which makes him very distressed. (To be continued.) )
