466 [North Korea Changing Days]

In the trial of the Fu'an teaching case, Zhao Han also personally gave instructions, and the inclination was extremely strong.

Three Dominican missionaries, dead and dead. Anyway, they have no relatives, they can't get any pensions, and they bewitch the people to forget their ancestors, and they belong to the real triggers of this religious rebellion murder case.

The eleven Chinese parishioners who died could not find the real murderers, or because there were too many murderers, they did not know who killed them. The family of the deceased was compensated five taels of silver, which was divided equally among the people who participated in the riot. On average, each person involved in the riot needs to pay about 4 cents, or more than 30 cents.

The wounded on both sides, believing themselves unlucky, healed themselves.

The patriarch of the Chen clan, Mrs. Chen, as the initiator of the riots, had several sons who were not allowed to be officials, and those who were being officials were also relieved of their public positions. But it does not involve grandchildren, grandchildren can still study and become officials.

In addition, more than 1,000 people who participated in the riots had to serve for two months without pay, that is, to volunteer for the local government.

This case is too special to be tried by ordinary law, or there is no relevant law.

Nanking.

Zhao Han received information from Liaodong that the Manchu Qing sent 20,000 troops to loot in Korea. All the way is like a bamboo, has already grabbed Gushan, Huangzhou, Haizhou in North Korea, the troops are divided into three roads straight to Huaiyang and Kaesong, and if you take Kaesong, you can hit the capital Seoul.

The Korean monarch asked for the help of the Datong army in Liaodong, and promised to openly break away from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and presented his letter of state to Zhao Han in Nanjing.

These guys, who sent envoys last year, did not sever their relations with the Manchus while currying favor with China, and they also wanted to offend no one at both ends of the first rat!

Zhao Han called Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, and Tian Younian, and after some discussion, he replied: "Send the navy to help, and then transfer a division from Jinzhou to fight." The money and food spent on the war must be borne by the DPRK, and if the money and food are not enough, they will be owed to pay it back slowly! ”

Liaodong could only mobilize one division, because the grain was really insufficient, and it had to wait for the summer grain harvest in the south before enough grain and grass could be transported.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was similar, with more than 100,000 troops of the Eight Banners, and only 20,000 troops were dispatched to attack North Korea this time. And they are not all regular Eight Banners, there are many soldiers mixed in them, and the combat effectiveness of these accompanying troops is enough to beat the officers and soldiers of North Korea.

……

North Korea, Kaesong.

Formerly known as Songdo, it was the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty, and Korean ginseng was a specialty in the nearby mountains.

In the camp of the Qing army outside the city, Man Dahai looked angry. Thousands of elites of the Eight Banners of Manchuria were blocked in this city, and hundreds of siege casualties have been paid!

You must know that they killed half of North Korea this time, and the casualties have always remained in single digits, and now they have broken through three digits.

"You go to the city again and order the defenders to surrender!" Man Dahai pointed at Li Hao.

When Korea was beaten to the rank of vassal, the king's three sons were all taken hostage by the Manchus. The third son has been released, the eldest son died of plague in Beijing, and the second son Li Hao was seriously ill last year. Kaichun's condition improved, and Li Hao was immediately brought with the army to order the defenders to surrender in the name of the Joseon prince.

Perhaps it was too hard, all the way to Kaesong, and the defending army swore not to surrender.

Li Hao knelt in front of Man Dahai and said, "Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid that the ministers can't persuade you to surrender this city. Kaesong was the capital of the old Goryeo dynasty, and many nobles in the city were powerful, and in order to keep their property, they must give money and food to boost morale. Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Man Dahai asked.

Li Hao said: "Unless in the name of the Korean lord, they are ordered to surrender!" ”

Man Dahai suddenly laughed: "The lord of North Korea? Seoul's detailed work came to report, and the Korean monarchs and ministers didn't even want the country, and they had already fled to Ganghwa Island. ”

"North Korea can have a new ruler. If you send an elite army to escort the ministers to Seoul, you will definitely be able to establish a new dynasty in Seoul. When the time came, the minister, in his capacity as the lord of Korea, ordered the whole of Korea to provide money and grain. There is no need to fight at all, and as much as His Royal Highness the Duke wants to take, the Korean people will personally send it to Shengjing. ”

Man Dahai was stunned, and only after a long time did he say disdainfully: "In order to be the lord of the country, you are really a good dog!" ”

Li Hao said: "The Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, how can the Korean soldiers be able to resist them? The masters of the main Qing Dynasty were happy, and the Korean monarchs and ministers were willing to be slaves. ”

Man Dahai immediately patted his thigh and said, "Okay, I'll give you a thousand elites and go to Seoul to be the lord of North Korea!" ”

Following.

The Manchus continued to attack the city, while Li Hao took a thousand elites, bypassing the city and heading straight for the capital Seoul.

The king of Joseon really ran away, and the Qing army only reached Pyongyang, so he took his ministers and slipped away. He left his third son, Pyeonglin Maharaja Yi Yao, to guard the city, and appointed his son Li Yao as the Korean superintendent, responsible for commanding the entire army to resist foreign invasions.

"Hurry up and open the city gate, I'm Li Hao, the son of the world!" Li Hao personally went to the city to shout.

Li Yao ordered the defenders to release arrows, and angrily reprimanded: "There is no such son in Korea, you actually led the enemy army to rob the country of your parents and ancestors!" ”

Li Hao was shot and hurriedly fled, and went back to say to the Qing generals: "This city can only be outwitted, I am willing to enter the city alone, and falsely claim that I betrayed the Qing Dynasty." After deceiving the trust of the third brother, and then seizing his military power, he will be able to welcome the Qing Heavenly Soldiers into the city. ”

The Manchu general who escorted Li Hao to Seoul was called Hilgen, and Huang Taiji's personal guard was born. Because he lives in Changbai Mountain and is relatively familiar with the geography of North Korea, he is in every invasion of North Korea.

"Okay, you go into town and try it!" Hilgen smiled and agreed, he didn't take North Korea seriously, and immediately agreed to Li Hao's plan.

Li Hao came to the city alone again and said to Li Yao, who was guarding the city, "Hang me up to the city!" ”

Li Yao ordered the soldiers to hang the basket, and when the elder brother went up to the city tower, he immediately shouted: "Tie up!" ”

Li Hao was honestly tied up and whispered: "The puppet Qing army has been killed in Kaesong, and my father has fled again, you and my brother should cheer up." ”

"There are many people," Li Yao suddenly shouted loudly, "You are a vain son of the world, and you actually help the abuse." Come on, bring it back, I'm going to interrogate it myself! ”

Back then, the three brothers were arrested and taken to Shenyang together.

As the son of North Korea, the boss barely got some courtesy. The second and third children were bullied, and they were determined to take revenge at that time, but the boss was trained to be a loyal lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Now, the boss has died of the plague.

Historically, after Li Hao succeeded as the lord of Korea, he frantically attacked the "pro-Manchu" forces and vigorously reused the officials of the "Northern Expeditionary School". He and his third brother Li Jiao were both staunch Northern Expedition factions, and they were clamoring all day long to go to Beijing to help the Southern Ming Dynasty restore social peace.

Of course, the thunder is loud and the rain is small.

After taking control of the power of the court, Li Hao gradually indulged in pleasure, and even embezzled the military funds of the Northern Expedition to build a large number of buildings.

At this moment, the brothers quickly reached an agreement, secretly sent henchmen to rule the "anti-Qing officials", and then went to the Qing army camp outside the city together.

Li Hao knelt down and said, "General, the junior minister has persuaded the third brother to surrender. Will the general's heavenly soldiers be stationed outside the city, or will they go inside the city? ”

"Of course we have to go to the city." Hilgan laughed.

Two Korean princes, accompanied by a thousand Qing troops into the city.

Hilgen quickly took over the city's defenses, and the Korean defenders were furious, and all the officials who did not flee took refuge in their homes.

A small number of ministers close to the Manchus took the opportunity to show their faces.

That night, the brothers Li Hao and Li Yao brought beautiful women and wine to Hilgen.

Hilgen was still a little vigilant, and lived on the castle tower at night, fearing that there would be Korean soldiers who would rebel against the water and seize the city.

But the Li brothers send beautiful women and wine every day. After several days in a row, Hilgen completely slackened, and so did the elite of the 1,000 Qing army.

Another day, the wine was hot, and three beautiful women were delivered, and Hilgen tossed until midnight before falling asleep.

The rest of the Manchu elites are also entertained with good wine and food.

On the fifth watch, shouts of killing rang out, and Hilgen died directly in his sleep.

The brothers Li Hao and Li Qi personally led troops to attack the city wall and kill the Qing troops who were drunk and asleep.

He slaughtered until dawn, and then slaughtered the "Qinman" officials, and after these officials raided their homes, the money was distributed to the guards of the city.

"Maharaja, the Tartars are here!"

Before the order of Seoul was completely stabilized, the main force of Mandahae had already forcibly broken through Kaesong, and after looting, they went straight to Seoul.

"Second brother, what should I do?" Li Yao was quite alarmed.

Li Hao was also very flustered, he knew that the Qing army was cruel and Seoul would never be able to hold it, so he said: "Let's lead the troops to Jianghua Island, and then ask the Chinese heavenly soldiers to help." ”

Li Yao said anxiously: "But my father is on Ganghwa Island, and my father asked me to stay in Seoul." ”

"Can you hold on?" Li Hao asked.

Li Yao shook his head again and again: "If you can't hold it, even if you give the soldiers money, someone will definitely surrender if you really fight." ”

Li Hao said: "Then you can only retreat to Ganghwa Island. ”

"How do you explain to your father?" Li Yao was embarrassed.

Li Hao's eyes showed a fierce light: "My father has been in charge of the country for many years, and he has been plundered by foreign enemies many times. Moreover, he proclaimed himself a vassal to the Tartars, and he had already hated the monarchs and ministers of the Celestial Empire. Only by changing the head of the country can the DPRK truly get the help of the Celestial Empire. Third brother, are you willing to sit back and watch the country being plundered by barbarians? Do you still want to be taken hostage in Shenyang? ”

"I don't want to." Li Yao said.

Li Hao instigated: "Then please ask my father to abdicate, and you and my brother will rule Korea together!" ”

Li Yao couldn't make up his mind, he didn't dare to stick to Seoul, and he was afraid that he would escape and be questioned by his father. After thinking about it repeatedly, Li Yao clenched his fists: "Then please ask your father to abdicate!" ”

The Manchu army was still dozens of miles away, so the brothers took the army, officials, and goods and ran to Jianghua Island.

The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, was furious and asked his son: "Why did you come to Ganghwa Island to let you guard the country against the enemy?" Even if you can't hold Seoul, you can continue to retreat to the south! ”

The brothers rose up with knives and killed two of the king's retinue.

Li Liang was paralyzed by fright on the spot, and ran away to call for help, but was quickly caught by his two sons.

Li Yao's eyes were red and he said: "Father, abdicate, let the second brother do it!" Only when the father abdicates the throne will the Celestial Empire forgive the sins of the Joseon in paying tribute to the barbarians. If my father does not abdicate, there will be no peace in Korea. ”

Li Hao also knelt and kowtowed: "Please abdicate my father!" ”

Father and son are filial, and North Korea has changed the sky.
