Chapter 530: Reprimanding the Capitulation Faction
After Kim Sang-heon left, the Korean monarchs in Hanyang received bad news that the Hulu army had arrived on the outskirts of Pyongyang, but they did not attack Pyongyang, which made the Korean monarchs extremely uneasy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Why didn't Hu Lu attack Pyongyang, but made the Korean monarchs and ministers uneasy, wouldn't it be better if there was no war, and it was the luck of North Korea that there was no war everywhere.
On the contrary, if Jiannu attacks Pyongyang City, Li Ju will be able to live in peace, which seems to be a paradox, but it is not.
The city of Pyongyang was extremely strong, and at the same time, the siege of the city by Hulu would cause the loss of soldiers and horses, delay the journey, and buy time for reinforcements from the eastern part of the south to Hanyang, which was now the most scarce.
After all, Jiannu's cavalry marched too fast, and the reinforcements from the south traveled about the same distance to Hanyang as Hulu, but they had to rely on their feet, so it was conceivable that they were likely to fall behind Jiannu.
But Hu Lu did not attack the fortified city and went south lightly, which was fatal.
In the past few days since Kim Sang-hun left, Li Liang has ordered the princess and the princes to prepare to take refuge in Namhansanseong, don't think about Ganghwado, if Incheon is Hulu's Han army, so there is only Namhansanseong as a shelter.
On this day, Li Shengqiu once again reported the location of the reinforcements, and the monarchs and ministers found that they could not reach before the siege of Jiannu.
Incheon in the west has become the only hope, yes, the only hope, and at this time, it is to bless the Ming reinforcements in the west to really arrive.
In the afternoon of this day, the army defending the city sent people to report urgently that the Ming army was only more than ten miles away from the city.
When Li Ju heard this, he immediately lifted his spirits and immediately went out of the city to greet him, but Jin Liu and others dissuaded Li Ju, and it was still safe.
So the kings and the ministers came to the head of the city of the west gate and looked west.
When they came to the head of the West Gate, they could already faintly see the black-red queue and the fluttering red Daming flag on the official road in the west with the naked eye.
At first, dozens of people who did not collect at night had come to the west gate half a mile outside the west gate to look at the city, but the night of the broken army did not collect, but they did not care about the Korean monarchs and ministers and the Korean defenders in the city. They looked boldly on their horses.
While they were watching the situation in the city, the Korean monarchs were also watching the outpost scouts of the Breaker Army in front of them.
"King, these scouts are extremely elite, you see that they are protected by iron armor, and their mounts are also extremely divine horses, which are more than half a head taller than my war horses."
The temperance envoy guarding the west gate flattered Li Liang.
Li Liang heard it and took a closer look. Sure enough, unlike the armor of the Korean soldiers, these Ming people did not accept the iron armor on their bodies at night, and the war horses under them were extremely tall and majestic, which could not be compared with the short war horses of North Korea.
Some ministers with good horses have already seen their eyes shine, how can such a divine horse's war horse become the scout's mount, it's a pity.
At this time, some of the nights did not collect and began to beat the horses back, these war horses ran with long legs and graceful posture, and quickly ran towards the Ming army formation several miles away.
The Ming army's formation had already reached three miles from the city. At this time, looking from the west gate of Hanyang, I saw a neat red and black military formation marching rhythmically, and the sound of vigorous footsteps resounded in the fields outside the city.
When have the Korean monarchs and ministers seen such a neat and mighty military formation, the shining cold light of the armor blinded the eyes of the Korean monarchs and ministers in the city, but they felt that this Ming army was like a black and red blade from far and near, and the edge went straight to the nine heavens.
"Kaicheng, this won't be Hu Lu pretending, it must be the official army of the Ming Dynasty." Li Qi said with a flushed face. He finally let go of a boulder in his heart, and the royal city was saved.
At this time, even Jin Liu and Li Shengqiu couldn't say anything. Most of Hulu's cavalry armor is iron armor, but it is impossible for Hulu to be so neatly aligned with armor, on the contrary, Hulu's brigade cavalry armor is very messy.
The jack gate of the west gate of Hanyang slowly rose, and then the west gate was wide open, and Li Liang went out with dozens of civil and military ministers to greet him.
As the captives left the city for a mile, a low trumpet sounded. With a bang, all the broken troops stood in place, and the procession that was still majestically moving forward came to an abrupt halt, and the field immediately calmed down, only the sporadic sound of horses' hooves was still sounding.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves in the rear of the Ming army suddenly rose. Large puffs of smoke and dust rose and hundreds of cavalry galloped eastward.
At the forefront was Kim Sang-hun and his bodyguards.
Kim Sang-hun came to Li Yu and rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, stepped forward and bowed,
"The king, the minister did not disgrace his mission, welcomed the arrival of the reinforcements of Daming Denglai, and handed over the order to the king."
Kim Sang-hun was covered in dust and looked extremely embarrassed.
"Jin Qing has worked hard all the way for the state, please hurry up." Li Liang hurriedly helped Kim Sang-hun up with a smile on his face.
"The Jin family has been loyal to the king for generations, and this is what Jin Shangxian should do." Kim Sang-hun hurriedly got up.
Jin Shangxian used this performance to greatly change Li Liang's view of the pro-Ming faction, and his favor for Jin Shangxian was also greatly strengthened.
"Lord Jin, how many reinforcements have arrived this time, and who will lead it." Jin Liu, the leader of the council, interjected at this time, this is what the monarchs and ministers are most concerned about.
"King Bing, this time Zhao Lie, the chief soldier of Daming Denglai, led more than 9,000 elite soldiers to come to King Qinwang of Hanyang."
When Jin Shangxian said this, he was so hard-hearted, his heart was full of pride, he has also been ruthless in the past few years, the pro-Ming faction has been compressed from a big faction to an insignificant yesterday's yellow flower, and all kinds of cold and warm are needless to mention.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty has not been angry in the past ten years, and the aid to North Korea has always been delayed, and in the north, the Dongjiang generals continued to extort money and food, sent troops to aid in the attack on Jeju, and when attacking Jeju Island, the Denglai sailors fled first, which simply made the pro-Ming faction speechless, and the waist pole could not be stiffened.
However, Kim Shangxian firmly believed that the Ming Dynasty would not give up Korea, especially if North Korea was in danger, and would definitely send troops to help, which could be regarded as a fulfillment of his wishes today, which also made the pro-Ming faction led by him raise their eyebrows.
He didn't know that this was all Zhao Lie's decision, and Da Ming was already dying.
At this time, Zhao Lie had already stepped forward surrounded by guards.
"Zhao Lie, the general soldier of Daming Denglai, see the king of Joseon."
Zhao Lie bowed to Li Kun and said.
Jin Liu's and the others showed hesitation, they were all angry at Zhao Lie's rudeness, Zhao Lie was just a second-grade general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't bow down in the face of the king of Korea, which was really arrogant and rude.
"Mr. Zhao has worked hard all the way, and he is invited to enter the city."|Li Liang was also slightly annoyed in his heart, but he knew that he really couldn't care about anything at this time, after all, he would figure out who could ask for whom.
Of course, Zhao Lie did not deliberately provoke the Korean monarchs and ministers, but he was determined to conquer the Central Plains, and it was rumored in the future that he, the lord of a country, would bow down to the lord of a small state.
"It's better for the king to ask first." Zhao Lie bowed down and stretched out his hand to give way, if Zhao Lie still went first at this time, he would be completely an enemy of the Korean monarchs and ministers.
After repeated concessions, it was Li Liang who entered the city first, and Zhao Lie entered the Hanyang Imperial City surrounded by hundreds of guards.
After the group came to the palace and sat down, of course Li Liang had to express his gratitude to Emperor Ming, in his opinion, without Emperor Ming's urging, how could Zhao Lie lead so many armor soldiers to come to help.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint the king, my eldest son may have just learned the news of Jiannu's entry into North Korea." Zhao Lie is now dominant in Denglai, not too concerned about Chongzhen's attitude, but to let the Korean monarchs and ministers now know that it is Denglai who will decide the fate of North Korea in the future, not the Ming Jingshi.
Li Liang Junchen was stunned when he heard this, what is the situation, so many large armies are actually moving without an edict, this, this crime is very great, Li Liang is the king of Joseon, if the army under his command moves without an order, then the reckless moderation makes the commander a sin of losing his head.
"I Denglai's fine general Jiannu in Liaodong is about to enter the military situation of North Korea, this general has no time to wait for the edict of the Son of Heaven, can only send a fast horse to report to the Beijing division, this general will lead the elite of Denglai to take the first step, because this general knows that North Korea cannot afford to lose, this is the morality of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhao Lie's words were loud and righteous, North Korea is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, what is a vassal, you have to keep this little brother, these neighboring countries can be willing to become your vassals, if you can't even protect his safety, then they all have to be scattered like birds and beasts, and fools are willing to become vassals.
This is the morality of the suzerainty to the subject country, this can't be done, what else is the suzerain.
Just as the Qing Dynasty was bullied by the West and the East in later generations, it was difficult to protect itself, and the subject countries of Korea, Mongolia, Vietnam, and Myanmar were all falling apart.
"Thank you for the general's kindness, North Korea will be rewarded, but the general acts like this, and the great tomorrow will blame it...
Kim Sang-hun was the first to come to his senses and hurriedly said.
"It's okay, my Denglai army is doing the righteousness of the Ming Dynasty, I don't want to be too observant of the Long Live Lord, it's just a big deal that I will lose my official position and go to work."
Zhao Lie waved his hand and didn't care, which made the Korean monarchs and ministers even more admired, look at this young general, desperately punished himself, and also led the troops to rescue North Korea, he is really the great benefactor of North Korea.
Zhao Lie understood that the imperial court was now mired in mud, and there was no strength to balance him.
"General Zhao, Hu Lu's troops have passed through Pyongyang, and I also ask the general to command the troops to the north to defend against the enemy."
Li Shengqiu inserted a sentence at this time.
"Well," Zhao Lie glanced at him and asked Kim Sang-heon, "Who is this person." ”
Zhao Lie's words and expression almost didn't make Li Shengqiu's nose crooked, and a Ming general soldier simply ignored him, a soldier.
"This is my court's soldier Cao's judgment letter, Lord Li Shengqiu." The relationship between Kim Sang-hun and Lee Sung-woo has always been not harmonious, and the tone of the introduction was a little contemptuous, but Zhao Lie understood it as soon as he heard it, oh, this estimate is an official with deep contradictions with the pro-Ming faction.
"It seems that this Lord Li is not too qualified for the position of the judge of the soldier Cao, in the face of tens of thousands of cavalry armor of Hu Lu, Lord Li conceded the team out of the city to fight, tsk, it is really commendable."
Zhao Lie pouted, is it polite to the factions in North Korea that are hostile to the pro-Ming faction?
"In my opinion, it's simply ignorant and fearless, I don't know if Lord Li Shengqiu led the infantry army to fight in the field outside the city with Jiannu's cavalry."
You, Li Shengqiu was extremely angry, his face was flushed, but he didn't dare to vent it because of Li Liang's face.
"Li Daren was born as a minister, but this has never happened." Kim Sang-heon made up the knife in time.
"It's no wonder." Zhao Lie shook his head with disdain, Li Shengqiu's face was like purple sauce, and he suddenly softened to the ground. (To be continued.) )
