12-37 The Great Thief
12-37 The Great Thief
A thousand internal guards returned to Hanyang City by the same way, and the difference between them and when they came, they were majestic and full of ambition, and when they returned, they were depressed and sad, and the war horses were not ridden, and they were all cheapened by the Ming army sailors, and the waist knives were also confiscated, so they could only eat soil behind the buttocks of other people's horses.
The 10,000 Hwarang Army, which was monitoring the garrison on Ganghwa Island, had been dispersed, and the Hwarang Army was a new 6th Division composed of civilian brave boys, because the original 6th Division of Goryeo had been exhausted in the battle with the Kim rebels in the north, and to be precise, they were all voted for Kim Cao.
There is a total of such a place in Goryeo, although the folk are still martial, and young people have to practice taekwondo twice when they are idle, but no matter how good the style is, they can't hold the cannon fire, and the Kim Cao Cheng Department entrenched in the northern part of Goryeo is only equipped with a small part of firearms, and has learned a little bit of the fur of the Red Shirt Army, at best, it is just a copycat version of the Red Shirt Army, so that the Goryeo court can be beaten to the ground, not to mention that the real Red Shirt Army is coming, the strength gap is too big, the battle is over at all, and the Hualang Army is scattered, All the internal guards surrendered, Min Jung-ho was captured, and Lee Myung-bak was not so lucky this time, he was brought out hiding in the grass, and he was sitting on a horse to talk to Liu Ziguang.
Lee Myung-bak is on the horse today, riding back and forth for 300 miles, and his butt is about to be swollen, but in front of the nobles of the kingdom, he still endures the pain, maintains the due courtesy, and respectfully answers all of Liu Ziguang's questions.
Liu Ziguang brought almost the entire fleet from Qingdao, and there were three battalions of the sailor division Buyong, and the establishment of the sailor division was smaller than that of the 6th Army, belonging to the lightly armed battalion, and the three battalions were only 5,000 people, but it was enough for Goryeo.
Of course, it can't be said nominally, Liu Ziguang is now a guest of the king of Goryeo, and he took his entourage to Hanyang as a guest at the behest of the king, but this guest was a little more evil, and disarmed the internal guards sent to greet him and robbed the horses.
After several hours of trekking, the mixed formation of the Ming army and the Goryeo army finally came to Hanyang, a hundred miles away, Hanyang is surrounded by a circle of hills, the Han River flows from east to west, as the capital of the Goryeo Kingdom, but there is no appearance at all, the city wall is low, there are a few flags erected listlessly, look at it with a clairvoyant mirror, there are two small soldiers holding forks at the gate of the city are sleeping, the smoke curls in the city, it is time for dinner.
Liu Ziguang took back the clairvoyant mirror and said to Wen Getao, the general ---- the sailor next to him: "Go and occupy the city wall, let's go into the city and have a peaceful meal." ”
Wen Getao responded: "Get the order." "Then he took a group of men and horses to roar away, the task of occupying Hanyang City is simply too simple, after the internal guards are sent out, only the light infantry of the robbery hall is guarding the capital, strictly speaking, they are not even the city defense troops, just the errand of catching thieves, how can these people resist the tiger and wolf division of the Red Shirt Army, less than two teas, Hanyang City Defense has fallen into the hands of Wen Getao, a few small cannons to the head of the city, aiming at Gyeongbokgung Palace, Hanyang City is no longer in danger to defend.
Liu Ziguang then led a large group of people swaggering into Hanyang City, this is not the first time he went abroad for a friendly visit, when he went to the Song Dynasty, the new Bianjing was so prosperous and rich, but Hanyang City is not like the capital at all, it may be the reason why it has just rained, the streets are muddy, the roadside can be seen everywhere, the houses on both sides are low and simple, there are not many tiles, most of them are mud thatched roofs, and the Goryeo people wearing white national costumes come out of the house, With a pair of small eyes on the face of the flatbread, he looked curiously at this huge army.
"The country is barren and the people are poor, this is the fault of being a king." Liu Ziguang said earnestly.
"What Grandpa Guo said is that we in Goryeo will lack a Ming monarch, if Your Excellency can be our king, it will be a blessing for all the people." Lee Myung-bak immediately said that through the exchanges along the way, he had completely fallen to this intruder, and was named the nine-rank general official by Liu Ziguang, although he was still a nine-grade official, but the official of the Ming Dynasty had a higher gold content than the third-grade official of Goryeo.
"Shameless." Liu Ziguang said secretly in his heart, but he said: "The Goryeo Kingdom naturally wants the Goryeo people to be the masters, I am a Ming person, how can I be your king, Li Tongshi don't talk nonsense." ”
Lee Myung-bak's fart slapped on the horse's hooves, and he hurriedly shut his mouth, and Min Jung-ho next to him smacked on the ground hatefully, probably despising Lee Myung-bak's shameless behavior, but Lee Myung-bak just snorted, twisted his head to the side, and ignored Min Jung-ho.
When I entered Gyeongbokgung Palace, there was still a little battle, and the scale was not large, because the area of Gyeongbokgung Palace was at best the size of the mansion of the landlord Lao Cai of a poor county town in the Ming Dynasty, and the internal guards were all sent out, and only one hundred and ten guards were left to protect the king.
Seeing that he couldn't hold it, Li Liang sent someone to shout, saying that he was willing to hand over all the gold and silver in the Goryeo Palace, and offered a beauty to come out, begging the great tomorrow soldiers to withdraw the army, and after speaking, he sent two boxes of gold and silver, and a woman with a strange bun on her head.
Xu Changjin's status in Goryeo is very high, it turns out that she is just an ordinary palace maid, repeatedly excluded, but she is quite persistent, and loves to learn, and has a good cooking and art, and later went to Daming to study abroad, returned to China and was named an internal medicine Zheng, given the name Dachangjin, Changjin's sister was born with good appearance, her face is like a silver basin, and she is like a full moon, in the standard of the Goryeo people, it is a big beauty, but in terms of the aesthetics of the Ming people, at most it can be regarded as a good facial features.
Da Changjin and Min Zhenghao have a leg, but the relationship has not yet been made public, because the king Li Liang also likes Changjin's sister, and several times he wanted to accept her as Shanggong, but he was politely declined, Changjin and Min Zhenghao wanted to leave the palace to live in seclusion, but the country was eventful, so they had to stay in the palace to be loyal to the king.
Liu Ziguang used his sword to fiddle with the gold and silver in the two boxes, and saw that in addition to the ingots, there were actually some plates, bowls and chopsticks, it seemed that Li Liang was really anxious, and sent all the valuable things he could find at hand, and then looked at Sister Da Changjin, her eyes were full of tears, her face was like ashes, how could she still be calm and elegant in the past.
Suddenly, Liu Ziguang felt an uncalm aura behind him, and when he looked back, Min Zhenghao was staring at Da Changjin with a pair of eyes, and his breathing was significantly faster, Liu Ziguang understood the reason, and ordered him to take people up first, and then let Li Mingbo shout inside, saying that Li Liang was reckless, making the heavens angry and resentful, the people were not happy, and the country was divided.
Li Liang is the lord of Goryeo Zhongxing, and he also has a bit of blood, he does not want to be captured and humiliated, so he simply poured lamp oil all over his body, ** and died, as soon as Li Liang died, the guards immediately collapsed, rushed out of the palace and surrendered to the Ming army.
Li Liang died, his group of concubines did not die, one by one crying and crying kowtow to Liu Ziguang and begged for mercy, asking him to spare the orphans and widows, Liu Ziguang ordered someone to put out the fire, and cried: "I have been friends with Brother Li for a long time, I didn't think he would let go, it's really sighing, sisters-in-law, please rest assured, Brother Wang's child is my child, so what, which one is Yuanzi?" ”
Yuanzi is the prince, the legitimate heir of the king of Goryeo, Gyeongbokgung Palace was surrounded by the Ming army, and he couldn't run out, and he didn't have the courage to commit suicide, so the Shang palace had to take Yuanzi out, Liu Ziguang saw that the child was only five or six years old, born with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, and looked like a standard Goryeo child, and immediately pretended to be very fond of it: "I have accepted this child as a righteous son, and I will help him to ascend the throne and sit in the palace tomorrow." ”
Hanyang City is so big, there are four gates and one block, and there is no need to follow the map, so you can pick up the people with tiles on the house and go in to search, and you will be able to catch the ministers of the Goryeo Kingdom, and the officials of the Goryeo court will be arrested overnight.
That night Liu Ziguang summoned Li Mingbo, Li Mingbo was uneasy in his heart, knelt down and didn't dare to speak, his performance today is not bad, and he talks to Liu Ziguang's appetite, I wonder if Liu Ziguang will keep him by his side as a staff member, that would be great, although this person is in exile, but the clear-eyed person can't see that his strength is still there, even if it is not impossible to chase the Central Plains.
But Liu Ziguang's words surprised Lee Myung-bak.
"Lao Li, how about leaving Goryeo to you to govern?"
Lee Myung-bak is like five thunderbolts, there are tears in his two little eyes, Grandpa Guo actually wants to hand over the Goryeo Kingdom to his own management, what a trust and glory ah, as a nine-grade little official, Lee Myung-bak is not without illusions, he also thought that he would soar and get ahead, but as he got older, these illusions were gradually shattered, and today hope was rekindled, Lee Myung-bak had mixed feelings, and his ambition was fierce, he thought about it a little and calmly responded: "My lord, Myung-bak will govern the country like a company." ”
Liu Ziguang slapped his thigh: "Okay, Ben Shuai really didn't misunderstand you, insightful!" Tomorrow the new king will ascend the throne, and I will persuade him to issue an edict to make you a ...... I don't know what your official system in Goryeo is like, so I'll just call it the prime minister. ”
Lee Myung-bak knocked his head on the ground, thanked him again and again, Liu Ziguang waved him back, and asked people to bring Min Zhenghao over.
