August 15 of the first year, this is the fifth Mid-Autumn Festival after Zhu Jun crossed) Zhu Jun who was far away in Japan also deliberately let the maritime merchants transport a batch of moon cakes in advance to distribute to the sailors' soldiers, but this festival is only in the stormy sea, the Oriental Navy Division has been loaded with 50,000 Japanese troops and 500 Zhongshan troops as early as three days ago, accompanied by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi and Zhongshan Wang Shangzhi, worthy of the name of East Asian unity**. \\

The Oriental Fleet arrived at Incheon and joined the Nanyang Naval Division, at this time Inchon can be described as a large army, 40,000 Ming two ocean fleets, and 50,000 Japanese troops, a total of 100,000 people, and the Korean army did not attack the Ming army in Incheon, but tightened the battle line, and deployed all the troops and horses of Gyeonggi and the soldiers and horses who rushed to the king of Hanjing around Hanjing, obviously they realized the strength of the Ming army, and would rather be beaten passively than attack.

When Zhu Jun landed at the Incheon port, he was full of pride, and he couldn't imagine that the scene would be repeated today after 400 years, but the camps of the two sides had changed.

"Your Majesty, the last general is late, and I hope the emperor will forgive you!" Liu Er stood on the dock and saw that the sampan of the main ship was on the dock, Zhu Jun landed along the sampan, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted with both hands.

Zhu Jun was wearing a golden suit, wearing a crown of heaven, and a three-foot sword hanging from his waist, walking in the lead, behind him was the smiling Bed Gangji and Zhongshan Wang Shangzhen, Liu Guoxuan was still on the ship because he wanted to command the fleet to anchor.

"Hurry up, Liu Guogong, I don't love these false courtesies." Zhu Jun smiled and deliberately pulled the word Guogong to the elder, and stretched out a pair of hands to help Liu Er.

When Liu Er heard the word Guogong, he remembered his fiefdom on Xiayue Island, smiled, and hurriedly got up and said: "Emperor Luan has come to Incheon, this battle is easy to fight, and the Koreans will definitely be shaking like a lost dog when they hear that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty is asking for guilt." ”

Zhu Jun smiled when he heard this: "You sycophant is really bad, you usually go a lot, have you read all the books I gave you?" ”

Liu Er hurriedly said: "I read it, I read it." Zhu Jun suddenly turned his head sideways and saw a middle-aged man dressed in North Korea behind Liu Er, and asked, "Liu Guogong, who is this person?" ”

Liu Erdao: "The last general almost forgot that this person is the commander of the naval division of the Korean State, the hereditary monarch Li Xian, and now he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and is willing to serve the emperor." ”

Li Xian also stood up from Liu Er's back, and after a few days of hard work, under the double blow of defeat and learning that the whole family was suffering, he looked a lot older: "His Majesty the Emperor is above, and the subordinates are polite." ”

Zhu Jun nodded. Looking back at Tokugawa Tsunayoshi asked, "What is the title of Oyuan-kun?" ”

Grievances between Japan and Korea have been accumulating for thousands of years. Naturally, there is a lot to know about North Korea. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi can be said to be a North Korean expert by Zhu Jun's side. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi said, "It's equivalent to my Japanese national daimyo." It's just that only clans can have feudal lands in Joseon. ”

Zhu Jun nodded. It seems that this Li Xian's status in North Korea is not low. It's simply born to be a puppet material.

Liu Er saw that the emperor was interested in Li Xian. So I prepared the chariot while I was ready. While hugging Zhu Jun and talking about Li Xiandi's life experience. Finally, when Li Xian's family was beheaded by the king of Joseon. Zhu Jun saw the silence in Li Xian's eyes, revealing a strong killing intent. Zhu Jun was also embarrassed. Faithfully serve the king. I didn't expect to fall into such a landing. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Chinese history. It's horrible.

Li Aiqing was relieved. I'm sure I'll give you a chance to slash your enemies. Mourn. Zhu Jun soothed. Then board the carriage. In a line of feudal kings, they entered the city under the guards.

The Ming army after repairing in one day. Finally, the offensive began. The vanguard of the Japanese military guards quickly launched an attack on the Hanjing defensive line. No matter what the time is. Both Korea and Japan were at a disadvantage in the war. There is no other reason. Just because the Japanese fought bravely. Just go to the battlefield. Meticulously never to die. The North Koreans are clearly not so conscious. In the face of the frenzied offensive of the Japanese, they began to retreat. Two days of hard work. A hole appeared in the Hanjing defense line. Immediately afterwards, the Ming army and the Japanese army rapidly expanded their gains. Constantly forcing the North Korean army to shrink its defensive line. Finally. The North Koreans have no way to retreat. Behind them. It is the king of their land, Hanjing.

When the time of the decisive battle came, the Ming army, the Japanese army, the Korean Hanjing garrison, the Korean volunteers were 200,000 people in Gyeonggi Province and launched a bloody battle on the land within a radius of 100 miles, after one night, the moat turned into a pool of blood, the fertile field outside the city was full of bones, the wounded and untreated wounded and sick lay between the dead bodies and wailed, under the strong offensive of the coalition forces tomorrow, the scattered Korean rebels were not opponents at all, from retreat to rout, and finally were chased and killed by the Japanese army frantically, and the blood flowed for hundreds of miles.

Tokugawa Tsunyoshi's performance can be described as very brave, the bloodthirsty Japanese warrior guards were quite regular in the fierce battle, when the Korean volunteers retreated, the Japanese army's formation was chaotic, countless crazy roaring Japanese warrior guards quickly rushed out of the formation, began the endless pursuit, and the momentum shown made the Korean volunteers join the ranks of the rout.

After a battle, the 50,000 Korean volunteers of the king outside the city were killed, the Japanese army suffered large losses, there were 9,000 dead and wounded, and the Ming army that had been relying on the fire to sweep the Ming army had the least casualties, only about 100 casualties, and the most depressed was the Zhongshan army, Shang Zhen was anxious to pass the addiction of a commander, and immediately led the 500 Zhongshan army to pursue after seeing the Korean volunteers push the set, who knew that the Korean volunteers were bitten back, and nearly half of them were killed and wounded.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was very excited, although the department suffered heavy casualties, but this victory was really worth it, the Japanese pay attention to the longevity of martial arts, who meets the standards of bushido will admire whom, now the first battle to conquer Korea has fought such a big victory, after returning home, there is no need to worry about the bad intentions of the daimyo.

On the contrary, the Hanjing City, which is not far away, has now become a pot of porridge, the king Li Li is scared and can't afford to be sick, many officials have already packed up the soft finances, ready to flee at any time, but Fenglinjun Li Dynasty seems to be a lot calmer, and now the Ming army is besieging the city, all they want is to surrender, in order to achieve the purpose of using the terrain of Korea to coerce the Manchu Qing Liaodong, since this is the case, this is easy to do.

The Li Dynasty is also a Korean clan, and it is closer to Li Xian, he is the leader of the government, and he controls the government of the royal court, even if he is the commander of the soldiers and horses of the garrison Hanjing, he is also his comrade, and he still has a lot to do.

That night, Li Chao called a few henchmen to discuss all night, and the next day, he entered the palace to beg

Li Di, Li Di is seriously ill now, and he doesn't want to see him, but now he can only beat his spirit to let him in.

As soon as the Yi Dynasty entered Gyeongbokgung Palace, a group of Gyeonggi garrisons had surrounded the entire palace, claiming that it was a dangerous battle, and the guards of the royal court could not protect the king, so they protected here.

"The King." After Li Chao entered the hall, he saluted Li Di on the couch, Li Di did not feel the danger, and the sick man took the decoction under the service of the palace people, and wiped the medicine residue on his lips: "Fenglinjun, how is the Ming army outside the city?" Haven't the Manchurian reinforcements arrived yet? ”

"I'm afraid the Manchurians won't come, the Ming army outside the city is preparing to attack the city." Li Chao's 1510 answer.

Li Yan coughed a few dry words, looking extremely painful, and reluctantly leaned on the head of the bed with the support of the palace people, leaned over and said: "Thirty years ago, we were vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and the Manchurians came to beat us, and now, we are the vassals of the Manchurians, and the Ming Dynasty came to beat us again, Fenglinjun, is there no way to save the temple?" ”

"Yes!" Li Chao said confidently.

Li Di said: "Say it quickly, what is the method." ”

Li Chao smiled coldly, stared at Li Di's sleeping couch and said: "What the Ming army wants is nothing more than the strategic geography of Korea and the majesty of the Celestial Empire. ”

Li Di's spirit seemed to be a lot brighter, and then he doubted: "This king ignores the envoy and resists the king, will the Ming Emperor forgive this king?" ”

Li Chao smiled and shook his head like a spring wind: "No, if the king wants to protect the temple, I'm afraid he won't be able to save his own life, but the minister has a good suggestion." ”

Li Chao began to slowly approach the bed, and said slowly and gently: "What the Ming Emperor hates is not the Korean country, let alone the clan surnamed Li, but the king, if the king is willing to sacrifice his head, the Ming Emperor will definitely pardon the crimes of the Korean state, and choose another virtuous clan to inherit the society, just like Japan, the king is the emperor, and the minister will reluctantly be Tokugawa Tsunyoshi." With that, Li Chao had already moved to the side of the couch, and a blue dagger stabbed straight down from the cuff, only to hear a muffled snort, Li Chao had already collected the dagger, and blood was still dripping from the dagger.

A few Gong E's who were waiting on the side screamed loudly, and Li Chao shouted viciously: "What's it called, if you want to live, shut up." ”

The palace ladies shrank into the corner, covered their mouths and looked at this Feng Linjun who was always like a spring breeze on weekdays, and sobbed in horror. Several palace guards came in, looked at the dead king on the bed, and Li Chao who was sneering beside the bed, and suddenly became stunned, not knowing what to do.

"The king has returned to heaven, the king's soldiers and horses are outside the palace, the king offers the king's head, and the entire Hanjing city can be spared from bad luck, if you know each other, follow the king, there is a reward." Li Chao put away the dagger, took a few steps forward, saw that several guards were still standing still, and said to one of the guards: "Jin Dacheng, can you enter the palace or the monarch recommended for you, aren't you disobedient?" ”

The guard named Jin Dacheng settled down and hurriedly said: "The king is seriously ill and has returned to heaven, please ask the Fenglin monarch to do something." ”

…

At dawn, the Ming army began to prepare for the siege of the city in the fog, and two hundred artillery pieces lined up under the city of Hanjing, and the Japanese troops who were ready to charge were well fed and prepared. Zhu Jun stood on a hill and looked at Hanjing City with a monocular, behind him were Shangzhi Liu Guoxuan Liu Er and others, this time the siege was mainly used by the Japanese military guards, so Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was in front of the whole team.

Under the hill is a team of distinctive guards, Li Xian stood on the side of the hill, his eyes looked directly at the faint city in the distance, he didn't know whether it was love or hate, the Ming Emperor pardoned his crimes, and retained the establishment of the Korean Naval Division, the only difference is that this naval division was renamed the Beiyang Naval Division, and all the 5,000 sailors were retained, and the Nanyang and Oriental Naval Divisions each transferred ten large warships and dozens of small and medium-sized warships to supplement them, and he Li Xian also became the deputy chief of the Beiyang Naval Division, The total army was promoted by a deputy general soldier named Yang Rang of the Oriental Naval Division, after some reorganization, the Beiyang Naval Division was quite large-scale, with a total number of 15,000 soldiers, twenty large warships, hundreds of small and medium-sized warships, in addition, it seems that there is a battalion of recruits and large ships built by the shipyard will be supplemented, and he Li Xian has changed from the original Dayuan Jun to the general of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xian was obviously very satisfied with this arrangement, at least he still had a chance to take revenge, he wanted to enter Gyeongbokgung Palace with a victorious attitude, and trample on the great king of the sea of blood and hatred, he used to be loyal to him, but now he wanted to crush him to ashes.

Standing beside Li Xian is the new Beiyang Navy Division Chief Yang Rang, Yang Rang, like Liu Guoxuan, is the old department of the Jinxia Navy Division, after serving the Ming Dynasty, he first became the captain of a neutral warship, and then he was promoted to the captain of a thousand households, in charge of a giant warship, and finally became the deputy chief soldier of the Oriental Naval Division, and now he has become the chief soldier of the Beiyang Naval Division, and there are only three in the entire Daming Naval Division, and he occupies a position. Zhu Jun values Yang Rang is that he is cautious, but also familiar with water warfare, and the most important thing is Yang Rang's loyalty, when the capture of Java Island, the Dutch fired cannonballs in the turrets on the coast, and it was Yang Rang's warship that rushed to the front, was hit by artillery, and the hull tilted still did not leave the battlefield.

"Is the artillery battalion ready?" Zhu Jun on the hill was a little impatient, the morning weather in the north was terrible, although it was autumn, it also made Zhu Jun in a robe cold.

"Is the last general going to urge me?" Liu Guoxuan deliberately stood on the left side of Zhu Jun, the cold wind blew to the north, just to block the wind for the emperor, the wind on this hill was really cold and tight, Liu Guoxuan felt that his ears were frozen and he didn't obey the call, but he was wearing a leather armor, and the wind poured in along the gap to make the whole body cold.

"No need, on such a cold day, the soldiers of the artillery battalion will be slower to calibrate, Liu Aiqing, what's wrong with your face?" Zhu Jun turned his head sideways and saw that Liu Guoxuan's face was very stiff and flushed. Immediately Zhu Jun came to his senses, now it is the north wind, Liu Guoxuan deliberately stood on his left, that is, in the south direction, the wind was all poured into him, Zhu Jun couldn't help but be a little moved: "Liu Aiqing go back to the camp to rest, today's siege is mainly a matter of the Japanese army and the artillery battalion, you don't need to stand and eat the wind to supervise the formation." ”

Liu Guoxuan shook his head stubbornly, and changed the topic: "Your Majesty, the Japanese army is brutal and ferocious, and it is always on the battlefield

Happy, try to slaughter the Korean village to take the lead, why should the emperor use him TT, once the city is broken, I am afraid that the good people of Hanjing will also suffer. ”

Zhu Jun shook his head and said nothing, this time the Japanese army was not only a military issue, but also a political consideration, first, the Japanese army was the vanguard to avoid casualties of the Ming army, good steel was used on the blade, the Ming army was Zhu Jun was ready to be used in the Liaodong battlefield, followed by the problem of checks and balances, this hand was learned by Zhu Jun from the British, not only to maintain an advantage, then it was constantly provoking hatred between countries, Japan and Korea were originally feuds, this time Zhu Jun let Japan have a good time in Korea, the best fun to the two countries will never be repaired, Only in this way, in order to suppress each other, the two countries must rely more on the Ming Dynasty, otherwise once the Ming Dynasty chooses who to support, it will definitely be the destruction of another country, the great power diplomacy played by the British back then was basically like this, but later it went too far, and raised a Germany out, but the Ming Dynasty is not worried about this problem, as long as the Ming Dynasty has maintained a stable and open policy, these two small countries are not afraid to jump out of the palm of their hands.

"Liu Aiqing, there are some things that I can't pick out clearly, maybe you will understand in the future."

At this time, a small colonel came over and reported: "Your Majesty, the artillery battalion has been filled with gunpowder and calibrated to complete it, please give the emperor's order." ”

Zhu Jun cheered up: "Let Tokugawa Tsunayoshi get ready, and the artillery camp fires!" ”

"Yes!" The little colonel turned around and was about to give an order, when the sentry with a telescope to probe the movement of the city shouted: "The city gate is open, someone has come out, report, Your Majesty, the city gate of Hanjing City has been opened." ”

Zhu Jun hurriedly picked up the monocular that he had just put down in his hand and looked at it, the gate of Hanjing City was really open, and he vaguely saw a few people walking out and waving flags, could it be that the North Korean army opened the city to meet the attack? Zhu Jun shook his head, this is really too absurd, the defenders of Hanjing definitely don't have the guts.

"Send a spy to take a closer look." Zhu Jun put down the monocular and bowed to the herald under the hill.

After a while, a knight Pegasus came over, restrained his horse at the foot of the hill, and said: "Your Majesty, the gate of Hanjing City has been opened, and Li Chao, the king of the Korean Dynasty, has gone out of the city to ask for surrender, and has told all the sins of the king of Korea. ”

Zhu Jun shook the heavy fur on his body, and said with a smile: "I knew this was the case, why did I need to stand here early in the morning to blow the wind, come, withdraw the Japanese army, take the Ming army as the lead, and enter the city!" ”

He's dead? Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned, he sank down, he originally wanted to take revenge, not to mention that it was another enemy who killed his enemy-Li Chao.

The Ming army entered Hanjing in a mighty way, in front of the door hole was two rows of Korean beggar officials with Li Chaowei kneeling beside the road, the Korean soldiers had laid down their weapons, waiting in the camp, the people in the city were not too surprised, in the Korean people, they have always taken the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and the hatred for the Manchurians when they invaded Korea was very strong.

When the Ming army took control of the whole city, Zhu Jun entered Gyeongbokgung Palace with the support of a group of cadres, and the officials of Li Chaowei handed over the letter of surrender and bowed down to His Royal Highness Zhaode to beg for sin.

Zhu Jun threw the book on the case with one hand, and there are a lot of such official-style articles, all of which are leftovers from thousands of years ago in China, and they don't need to be carefully read to know what the routine is.

Then Li Chao stood up, first counted the sins of the king, and blamed himself for being a tiger, and then changed the conversation, and said that although he was forced to do some bad things with the king, he was also forced to do some bad things, but in fact, his heart was still full of loyalty, and he hoped that the Ming Emperor would be aware of everything and not let go of a bad person, let alone wronged himself as a good person.

Li Chao had already made a draft, so he said that his mouth was like a river, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes from time to time, so that the Ming generals on both sides couldn't help but be moved, at this time, a loud shout came from the side of the hall: "Li Dynasty traitor, didn't you propose that the king expel the Ming envoy at that time?" When the king came, didn't you talk about a decisive battle and wait for reinforcements? You dog thief, is it you who provoked the king to kill my whole family? ”

It was Li Xian who stood up, and when the enemy met, it could be said that he was very red-eyed, but fortunately, Li Xian still had a trace of calmness, otherwise he would have rushed over and fought.

Li Chao saw Li Xian, couldn't help but be taken aback, after killing Li Xian's whole family, the king originally sent an envoy to take over Li Xian's water division, who knew that he was halfway through, I heard that Li Xian was wiped out by the Daming water division on the way to Incheon, so Li Chao thought that Li Xian had either become a prisoner or buried in the sea, and he didn't notice him when he entered the city, and now he was really scared to see it.

"Your Majesty the Emperor." After Li Chao finished scolding, he couldn't stop crying and bowed to His Royal Highness: "Li Chao's mouth is a honey confidant, I really can't tolerate it, he first provoked the king to confront the Celestial Empire, and then killed the whole family of the last general, and now he sees that the king is unstoppable, and he kills the king, intending to save his life." Please avenge your majesty's revenge for the last general.

”

"You... You..."It's like a drama that was originally directed by Li Chao, but now a Cheng biting gold suddenly appeared, Li Chao was stunned all of a sudden, and he wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find a recognizable word for a while.

Zhu Jun looked left and right, and saw that there was no sound in the hall all of a sudden, everyone lowered their heads and did not speak, only Li Xian was still kneeling and crying, and was about to speak, but Li Chao said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the loyalty of the criminal minister to the Ming Dynasty can be revealed, Li Xian planted the blame for the criminal minister, the criminal minister has nothing to say, the criminal minister risked his life for His Majesty the Emperor to punish the rebel king, and welcomed His Majesty into the city. ”

This sentence is a bit of a dog jumping over the wall, the tone is full of threats, he is a minister, and he is a meritorious minister, if the new first emperor is guilty of him, it seems unkind, who else is willing to surrender in the future?

Zhu Jun didn't come to the fire originally, Li Chao killed Li Xian's whole family, he handled the matter with a sympathetic attitude at most, and gave Li Chao a military match, but Li Chao's tone made him angry, even if he had a bad character, he dared to be so arrogant, whether you surrendered or not was just a waste of a few more shells, and he dared to take credit.

Zhu Jun sneered and said, "If you don't defend yourself, you will admit it, since this is the case, I will not be polite to you, so let's do it, Li Xian, deputy commander of the Beiyang Naval Division." ”

Li Xian's face was happy, he burst into tears and smiled, and hurriedly said, "Here." ”

"He will be handed over to you, if you want to kill or chop, you can dispose of it."

"Yes."
