Chapter 911: Li Chao ceded the land
"Don't you get off your horse and surrender quickly!" The Ming army fanned around this small group of Li Dynasty soldiers and horses, and the leading general shouted loudly, the soldiers behind him had taken off their muskets and aimed at these Li Dynasty soldiers, and they would immediately destroy them without mercy as soon as the officer gave the order.

"General! Let's kill it, shall we? "The relatives also took down the bow and arrow in their hands, when the Japanese invaded, the archers of the Li Dynasty also had a good performance, this relatives were the descendants of the original batch of Li Dynasty archers, and had good attainments in archery.
"Bastard!" The fat general slapped him in the face, and in such a short time, the remnants of the Jiannu soldiers in the center of the battlefield and the Li Dynasty soldiers and horses who were fighting with them had been completely defeated by Cao Bianjiao, or died under the sabers of the Ming army, or surrendered on their knees, how could they be the opponents of the Ming army, if they dared to resist, I am afraid that there was only one way to die, and there may be a way to survive if they surrendered.
So the general knelt on the ground with unprecedented agility and said loudly in Chinese, "I am a friendly army down there, and I am here to help the army of the Kingdom of Heaven to clear the Jiannu, and the general must not be misunderstood." The Li Dynasty was deeply influenced by the Central Plains, but anyone with some status could speak fluent Chinese, which also saved his life for the time being.
"Liaodong is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and any army that enters it will be regarded as the enemy of my Ming Dynasty!" At this time, Cao Bianjiao had already finished killing, and was retracting the bloody saber from its scabbard, and walked over with blood all over his body, "General Ben has heard that the imperial court has invited your Li Dynasty's soldiers and horses to come and exterminate Jiannu. β
The officials of the Li Dynasty just wanted to take this opportunity to occupy a little land in Liaodong, how could they dare to say such an idea to the Ming Dynasty? So when he heard Cao Bianjiao's question, the Li Dynasty general couldn't answer, and it took a long time before he said, "In the next... Zai Xia was also a little anxious to help the Shangguo clear the Jiannu, and he had not yet had time to report to the Shangguo court. β
"Humph! There is no need to distinguish this matter with General Ben, General Ben only cares about killing the enemy and ignoring these things. Cao Bianjiao waved his hand, and someone immediately came behind him to tie up the general and his entourage, "If you want to explain, wait until you get to the capital in the future, and then distinguish with those officials of the Ministry of Rites, and see if they will believe your words!" β
Immediately, Cao Bianjiao began to lead people to clean up the battlefield, and then escorted these captives of Li Chao and Jiannu to the nearest city; Something like this didn't just happen here, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and some other Ming generals also captured many Li Dynasty prisoners; Lu Xiangsheng immediately issued an order, and ordinary Korean soldiers stayed in Liaodong for temporary custody, let them build cities and open up wasteland, while all the officers with some identities were sent to the capital and let Li You deal with these matters.
"What do you think about this?" Li You distributed Lu Xiangsheng's recital to Xu Guangqi, Li Biao, Zhang Zhiji, Wang Qia and others, and those captives had not yet arrived, and Lu Xiangsheng's recital had already arrived first.
"Your Majesty, Li Chao is really a wolf's ambition, this generation does not remember the kindness between my Ming Dynasty and parallel goods in the past, but wants to take advantage of the fire to rob and annex my Ming Dynasty's land, which is really an unforgivable crime!" Wang Qia has now gradually become familiar with Li You's way of doing things, and knows that he must not have a good opinion of Li Chao's behavior, so he is the first to express his attitude.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thought that he would reprimand the king of Joseon, Li Liang, and ordered him to withdraw all his soldiers and horses, and send an envoy to the capital to apologize." Xu Guangqi is also not accustomed to North Korea's method of acting.
"It seems too cheap for them to just withdraw their troops." Li You said slowly, "I heard that this Li Liang usurped someone else's throne in the first place before becoming the king of Joseon? β
In the third year of the Apocalypse, Li Hui, the king of Gwanghae, who was in charge of the throne of Joseon, began to swing left and right between the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty because he saw that Nurha was powerful, which caused panic among the Korean ministers, and a series of reform policies before Gwanghaejun offended this group of Korean nobles, so they began to plot to force Gwanghaejun to abdicate; Li Liang, the nephew of Ayayang Jun who was in charge of Li Hui, saw that Li Hui was ill, so he ordered his confidants to suggest that the Pingshan Jiedu of the Westerner Party should transfer 500 soldiers and horses to the capital to coach Li Gui and transfer 500 soldiers and horses to the capital, and took the opportunity to have a palace coup d'Γ©tat, deposed him and exiled Qiao Tong to Ganghwa Island, and ascended the throne and became king himself.
"Your Majesty, after this incident happened, Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, immediately wrote to express his opposition." The Ming Dynasty was a deep-rooted regime that advocated the ethics of Gangchang, and the DPRK had always followed the model of traditional suzerain-vassal relations in ancient China. It's just that because he had to fight with Jiannu before, he was in consideration of wooing, so this matter was put aside for the time being, but Li You suddenly mentioned it now, which must not be a good thing for Li Liang.
After hearing the news, Li Liang suddenly became confused, and hurriedly sent several groups of envoys to the capital with their belongings to hurry to the capital to pray for the forgiveness of the Ming Dynasty, but those Ming officials who had been good friends with them in the past have either been dismissed and imprisoned, or reassigned to other places, and the only few who remain are also avoided, and do not dare to accept their gifts at all.
Now that all the officials in the capital have known that His Majesty the Emperor is very dissatisfied with the actions of the Li Dynasty, how dare they take these hot money, Luo Yanghe and Jinyiwei and Cao Huachun's Dongchang are afraid that they have been stared at them strictly, and it is better to be obedient if they don't want their families to be ruined.
After being left to dry for a long time, these North Korean envoys were finally summoned by the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites directly threw away the testimony of those captured military generals, severely reprimanded them for this kind of crime of violating the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and revealed between the words that some of the Ming Emperors were dissatisfied with Li Liang's usurpation of the throne, so frightened that the Korean envoys were soaked with cold sweat and only knelt on the ground and begged, indicating that North Korea had no such intentions and was willing to apologize for the recklessness of these soldiers.
"Just a few painless pleats want to perfunctory at this time, isn't it too cheap?" The officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty scoffed at this, this time His Majesty has already ordered him to come over, if he does not come up with some practical things, he will not say that Lu Xiangsheng will go to North Korea for a while.
"Dare to ask what Lord Lord's meaning means?" The Korean envoy knelt on the ground and asked tremblingly, he also came from Liaodong at the beginning, he had seen the prestige of the Ming army, and understood the consequences of angering the Ming Dynasty.
"Indemnity for land cession!" The official of the Ministry of Rites said slowly.
