"So what do you think?" Li Jue looked at this royal brother and smiled bitterly, seemingly gently looking at his own brother Shouyang Dajun Li Jin, he was extra vigilant in his heart, he knew very well what his royal brother thought, his son Li Hongwei was still young, but his body has always been weak and sickly, and right now, Li Jue already feels that his life is short.

And during this period of time, his younger brother Li Yao's actions below, although he didn't know very well, he also knew a lot, and he knew that this younger brother who had been on the throne for a long time must not be willing to be an idle uncle Wang.

This royal brother is not like the general Korean royal children generally abandon martial arts, love bow horses, but can also write a beautiful brush hand, can be regarded as a civil and military talent, the father had the heart of Yi Chu, and the title of the royal brother Li Yao was also changed again and again, initially was named the King of Jinping, and later changed to the King of Xianping, the King of Jinyang, and finally changed to the Lord of Shouyang.

It's a pity that when he first ascended the throne, he couldn't go down and kill this ambitious brother who was unwilling to take the throne, and now, his body has become like this, it is difficult to govern, and Li Jin, who is known to be ambitious, is even more uncontrollable. And those old ministers who are their fathers, except for a few who are firmly on their side, most of the ministers belong to the kind of wall-riding faction. This made Li Jue start to worry about his son's future.

"Brother Chen thinks, although my Korean kingdom is not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty, but can not lose the backbone of the country, although Yu Bochang is a general, but his ability is mediocre, has always been inactive, as the commander of an army, the commander of 50,000, will be attacked by the Ming army without the slightest notice, it can be seen to what extent its carelessness has been." Li Yao sat up straight and spoke confidently.

"Although I have no more than tens of thousands of soldiers in Pyongyang, there are many important towns, and there are soldiers and horses stationed there, and my Pyongyang city is as thick as Yanjing in the Ming Dynasty...... And the Ming army and those female tribes are unrighteous divisions...... We just need to be able to hold on to Pyongyang for more than a month. The Ming army attacked fruitlessly and inevitably retreated. ”

"At that time, go to the Ming Court and show humility to the great tomorrow, as long as they can get by on the face, they will naturally no longer be embarrassed by my North Korea, and at that time, we will be able to restore the foundation of our father."

-------------------- Li Jue's voice is quite loud, although this opinion is not unique, but after all, it is much better than Li Jue, who has no idea and doesn't even know whether to fight or flee.

And the civil and military ministers who were originally arguing together finally came to their senses and paid attention to the two brothers, and Li Yao's confident attitude and that kind of confident performance won the blue eyes of many ministers.

Li Jue couldn't help but have a heart-rending cough, a hollow and hoarse cough, which quickly attracted the attention of those ministers, and everyone understood very well that the king's illness would not last long, and now, it was just relying on the imperial doctor to use those good ginseng to hang himself.

According to the situation revealed by the senior old imperial doctor who had waited for the two kings, the king's body, if it was in the past, would be carefully maintained, or there would be no problem for three or five years, but in the past few days, the bad news has made the king's heart decline, and I am afraid that it will be a matter of the past few days.

And it was precisely because of this news that Li Yao hurried to Pyongyang, of course, ostensibly because North Korea was in a critical situation for survival, and Brother Wang fell ill. And in private, I'm afraid that even the rat of Pyongyang, the king of North Korea, can guess that this Shouyang prince is thinking of giving a chicken a New Year's greeting with a weasel.

But right now, Li Jue is seriously ill on the couch, Wang Shizi is still young, if it is in peacetime, Wang Shizi, who is only a little more than thirteen years old now, will be on the throne, but it is very justifiable, but at present, North Korea is embattled, if the throne is passed to a little hairy child who doesn't know anything, it will be really big.

Although many ministers morally agreed that the prince should inherit the throne, now, the Korean kingdom needs a bold and decisive prince like Yi Yao to inherit the throne and save the Korean kingdom from the brink of death.

Li Jue narrowed his eyes, looked at the many civil and military ministers in the hall, and finally fell on the "That's what I said, but Brother Wang had never heard the news from Shuozhou, the Ming army carried a large number of artillery, once fired, the sound was like thunder, the power was endless, Shuozhou City was almost destroyed under the artillery fire of those Ming troops, and Yu Bochang's army was also blown up by the artillery fire of the Ming army, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, and finally captured so many soldiers. ”

"Brother, the words of the defeated army are still credible, but how can they be believed. The subordinate brother can also be regarded as a person who is familiar with military affairs, how can he not know the benefits of the artillery fire, but to say that the artillery fire alone will blow up Yu Bochang's 50,000 army and surrender, this subordinate brother really dare not imagine. Li Yao pursed her lips covertly, a little disappreciative.

Hearing his words, many ministers present also bowed their heads, too, the Ming Dynasty has artillery, and North Korea also has it, although there are not as many types as the Ming Dynasty, but there are also artillery, and the sound of those artillery firing is indeed very scary, but the power, unless it is a straight line, it can indeed be regarded as dying when it is touched, and it will be injured if it is rubbed. A dozen and a long list.

But if you really say that dozens of shells can be smashed down like that, you can smash tens of thousands of troops into a daze, and then see the Ming army and surrender, this is really. It can be said to be an extremely ridiculous lie.

At least, the Korean monarchs and ministers all think so, maybe it was Yu Bochang's stupid own command mistakes that caused the 50,000 troops to be buried in the hands of the Ming Dynasty army.

Although Li Jue was very unhappy about the scene in front of him, he had to admit that what Li Jue said was indeed very reasonable. At least in this era, people who have not seen with their own eyes the elite combat effectiveness of the Daming Emperor [***] team, who have begun to replace with new equipment, cannot imagine and believe that just dozens of artillery pieces can defeat tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

In the end, Li Jue still had to nod and agree with Li Yao's suggestion, and decided to swear to defend Pyongyang, although he didn't want to defend it, but in the case that he is now a candle in the wind, and the lights may go out at any time, he wants to avoid trouble and flee to other places, which is too difficult, maybe it is possible to die just after leaving the palace gate.

-------------------- However, of course, Li Jue will not hand over the power of Pyongyang's military affairs to the ambitious Li Jin, but to the leader of the council, Gao Changxun, although North Korea was defeated in the northern region by those Jianzhou women and pseudo Jianzhou women, but finally retreated to the area of the Qingchuan River and the Daning River, and gradually gained a firm foothold.

And the Korean troops that were dispatched from all over the country gradually gathered together, and withstood the crazy attacks of those tribal soldiers and horses in the area of the Qingchuan River and the Daning River.

And the army of the Ming Dynasty, since defeating the Korean army under the city of Nashuozhou, by the way, took advantage of Nashuozhou, and occupied Nashuozhou, it actually quieted down, not to mention that it was unwilling to move a finger to the south or in other directions, just like an old rascal who was extremely fierce and murdered countless people and suddenly pretended to be tender and dressed up as a lady.

But the more Shi Heng stood still like this, the more panicked and frightened the whole North Koreans became, but the tribes in Liaodong and the Yalu River that were said to have been cleaned up by North Korea in the past were more ferocious than anyone else.

However, after the Korean army formed a defensive line in the area of the Danyeong River and the Cheongchon River, the tribesmen and horses, who had been exhausted from the offensive, finally stopped and rested.

Among these tribes, in addition to a considerable part of them that were ruthlessly picked up by North Korea in the past, there are also many tribes in Liaodong who were forced or assigned by the Ming Dynasty, including the Jurchens and other tribes of the West Sea, whose strength was not damaged.

However, when they unleashed their hands and feet to attack the Korean Peninsula, of course, they also reaped rich rewards, and naturally they fought more and more hard, so that many small tribes that did not join the war at first also spontaneously organized themselves and rushed to this land to get a piece of the pie.

And when these barbaric tribal soldiers disappeared outside the cities that had been broken and plundered, a group of Ming troops drove over, very smoothly, and it can be said that they took over the command of these cities without a little resistance.

And after taking control of the city, a large amount of materials made these war-scarred ordinary people feel that the Ming soldiers are really the loveliest people in the world.

Just like this, whenever those barbaric tribal soldiers disappear, there will be such Ming soldiers and a large number of materials, so that these cities do not need to sacrifice the lives of any Ming soldiers, so they fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

And what needs to be paid is only some materials, compared to going to the past to copy the knife and play with it, although the process seems much duller, but the result is quite satisfactory.

And at this time, Li Jue, the lord of North Korea, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and in his bedroom, he held his son Li Hongwei's hand tightly and died in the middle of the night.

On the same night, Li Hongwei ascended the throne as the king of Joseon with the support of many ministers, and in order to ensure that his son could ascend to the throne smoothly, Li Jue still took out the means to make a small accusation, and escorted his younger brother Shouyang Maharaja Li Yao back to his palace to be placed under residential surveillance.

And on the third day of Li Hongwei's ascension to the throne as the king, the king of Joseon received bad news again, a Ming fleet, I don't know when it ran to Najeju Island, has already captured Jeju Island.

As soon as he heard that Da Ming had actually sent out her famous fleet that was all over the world, he originally wanted to stick to the land route and try to delay time, so that Da Ming could make him feel that North Korea was just a chicken rib, and then try to completely bankrupt the plan for peace talks.

Despair and fear, like two evil dragons, hovered and wrapped around the heads of the Korean Kingdom, will poke out their incomparable claws at any time, and scatter the North Korea, which has lost its last hope in the face of the powerful force of the Ming Empire, into pieces......
