Chapter 765: Joseon (2) - The destruction of the Korean country
In August of the 25th year of Chongzhen (1652), Zhu Cizhi followed Shi Lang to Jianghua Island reluctantly.
At this time, the 1st Division led by Xu Yingwei had already occupied Seoul and the surrounding area, but due to the lack of naval cooperation, it was unable to withstand the North Korean Navy's resistance to land on the island.
It is precisely because of this that Li, Lin Qingye and other Korean monarchs and ministers were able to survive.
But with the arrival of the Ming naval detachment led by Shi Lang, the good days of the Korean monarchs and ministers came to an end.
In the face of the cruisers of the Ming Navy, the "turtle ship" that had shown its might in the Renchen Rebellion was simply vulnerable, and the naval guns of the Ming Navy could smash one with one shot.
After sinking hundreds of turtle ships, the North Korean Navy had no choice but to surrender.
Immediately, the main force of the 1st Brigade of the Ming Army landed on Ganghwa Island with the cooperation of the navy.
Li had no choice but to take Lin Qingye, Cui Xiaoyi and other ministers to kneel and beg.
Therefore, this trip to North Korea was unexpectedly easy, and Zhu Cijiong didn't even have to go to the battlefield in person, and this war of annihilation was over.
"Sinner Li, knock to see His Royal Highness King Yong."
Li pouted and held the seal of the king of Korea in both hands.
This big seal was given by Emperor Taizu, and even the name of North Korea was given by Emperor Dazu himself.
Xu Yingwei and Shi Lang's eyes turned to Zhu Cizhi in unison, both of them knew that why Chongzhen wanted Zhu Cizhi to come to North Korea was nothing more than to train King Yong.
This includes how to deal with Korean monarchs and ministers.
From this moment on, thousands of Korean monarchs and ministers, and even hundreds of thousands of people who fled to Ganghwa Island, became fish on the chopping board, and they were left to the full power of the Yongwang Zhu Cizhi.
Feeling the gaze of Xu Yingwei and the others, Zhu Cizhi was stunned: "Look at what I do." ”
Xu Yingwei replied: "The Holy Lord said in his letter that it is up to His Highness to decide how to deal with the Korean monarchs and ministers. ”
"Huh?" Zhu Cizhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said blankly, "Father asked me to dispose of it with full authority?" ”
"Yes, the Korean monarchs and even the hundreds of thousands of people on the island are at the disposal of His Highness." Xu Yingwei nodded, "Your Highness's words can make them die, and a word can also make them live, life and death are all in His Highness's thoughts." ”
Zhu Cizhi whispered in a consultative tone: "Otherwise, it will all be ...... Kill it, right? ”
Xu Yingwei nodded happily, and immediately waved his hand and said, "King Yong has an order to put the Korean monarch and minister to death on the spot." ”
The Ming soldiers who were guarding behind the Korean monarchs and ministers immediately picked up the Korean monarchs and ministers like chickens.
Li was already frightened and trembling, but Cui Xiaoyi, who was kneeling behind him, suddenly jumped up and pointed at Zhu Ci and scolded.
"Big things are small and benevolent."
"Our North Korea has always regarded the Ming Dynasty as the country of the suzerain, and there has never been a half-cent."
"But the country of Erguo is so careless that slaughtering my Korean monarchs and ministers is like slaughtering chickens and killing dogs, how can there be half a merciful thought? If you do such perverse acts, sooner or later you will be damned, and you will be damned! ”
Hearing this, Xu Yingwei said angrily: "There has never been a half-point exceedance? Don't you feel sorry for saying such things? Since the establishment of your North Korea, my great ancestor Emperor Gao first gave the country name, and then listed North Korea as a country that is not conscripted, two times of the Japanese rebellion, my North Korea is to overcome all kinds of difficulties to send troops to support, to help the country to relieve the danger of destroying the country, after the rebellion, the country of Er has become a slave of the country, but also my Ming to save the country, His Royal Highness the King of Ding has personally led three thousand tigers in Seoul and the Jiannu Iron Cavalry battle, my Ming thousand heroic souls are still sleeping in Seoul, but how do you repay our Ming? ”
"That's not all you forced to do." Cui Xiaoyi said angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that the country needs to be excessive, and has repeatedly captured our population, why would my country have made such a decision?" ”
"Fart, is that human captivity?" Xu Yingwei said angrily.
"That's to go to work, to earn wages, the Ming Dynasty paid them all their wages, and all the expenses of the Korean State are not all the wages paid by the Ming Dynasty?"
"That is also a captivity, that is, a captivity." Choi Hyo-il was also angry.
"Because you haven't consulted my country at all, and if it's just a simple job and let the men of my country go, why do you force so many women to go to Daming?"
"It's just a matter of forcibly recruiting so many women, and it's still a woman of childbearing age."
"It's just enough to forcibly recruit so many women of childbearing age, but after they went to Daming, they didn't want to come back, and in the end they all became the wives and concubines of the people of Daming, and your country is a captivity."
"Fart, it's all their willingness, how can it be a captive." Xu Yingwei said, "The Holy Lord once said that everyone in this world has the right to pursue a happy life, including you North Korean women, they want to marry a man from the Ming Dynasty, even if they are just willing to be concubines, that is their freedom, what right do you have to stop it?" ”
"Shameless, you are trying to change the species, you are the one who wants to destroy my Korean country!" There are still discerning and knowledgeable ministers in North Korea, who can see through Chongzhen's intentions at a glance, "The women who can have children have gone to Daming and marry Daming men, who will give birth to our North Korean men?" In a few decades, will we in North Korea have to be exterminated? ”
"." Xu Yingwei sneered, "The North Korean men who went to the Ming Dynasty also have the power of the Ming people, and they can also marry the women of the Ming Dynasty, so how can they be exterminated?" ”
"That's right, Korean men who go to Daming can marry Daming women, but from then on, they speak the official language of Daming, and they write Chinese characters, and their children will only regard themselves as Daming people." Choi Hyo-il said bitterly, "One hundred and ten years later, will my Korean language and the Korean inheritance be extinct?" ”
Seeing that Xu Yingwei and the Korean monarchs and ministers were arguing more and more intensely, Zhu Cizhi felt that his head was big, what he was most afraid of was trouble, and when he saw that the Korean monarchs and ministers reacted so fiercely, he immediately changed his mind.
"General Xu, why don't you kill them or spare their lives?"
After a pause, Zhu Cizhi whispered again: "After all, this Seoul mutiny did not cause much loss, although the Seoul business has a certain loss, but it is not big, and there are no casualties among the soldiers of the Ming army. ”
Xu Yingwei has no opinion on this: "The ministers are all under the orders of His Royal Highness King Yong. ”
"Cheng, then spare them a dog's life." Zhu Cizhi said, "Don't kill it." ”
"Yes, then don't kill." Xu Yingwei asked again, "King Yong, the capital crimes of the Korean monarchs and ministers can be avoided, but the living crimes cannot be escaped, they must be punished for doing wrong, how do you think they will be punished?" And what to do with the people on the island? ”
Zhu Cizhi thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Why don't you send them to the Japanese land as long-term workers?" ”
Xu Yingwei immediately shouted: "King Yong has an order, the DPRK is ungrateful, the grace will take revenge, and raise troops without authorization, immediately cut off the name of the country of Korea, the country of Korea is removed, and it is included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and more than 4,000 people under the abolished king of North Korea Li are sent to the Japanese land as slaves, and they will never leave the Japanese land for half a step, and the Korean people who follow the abolished king Li Zhi will be more than 500,000 people, despising the heavenly kingdom, and seeing the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and they will be sent to the Japanese land to be slaves for generations." ”
……
About half a month later, under the cool mountain.
Chongzhen and the firearms department all prepared for a test gun with Zhang Jimeng.
This time, it was no longer a rifle that was to be test-fired, but a heavy machine gun, a multi-barreled heavy machine gun.
After solving the primer technology, it became possible to have a metal cartridge case, and with a metal cartridge case, a breech gun became possible, and with a breech gun, a heavy machine gun was possible.
Of course, this time it was the most primitive hand-cranked multi-barreled heavy machine gun.
The meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road had to be walked step by step, and it was difficult to get directly on the Makqin heavy machine gun.
What's more, even a hand-cranked multi-barreled heavy machine gun is enough to crush the enemies of this era.
Zhang Jiji fixed the first hand-cranked multi-barreled heavy machine gun, and was about to ask Chongzhen for instructions, when Shi Tianfu, commander of the Navy's Third Fleet, had already walked in quickly.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to say one more thing.
After returning from the Japanese land, Chongzhen made adjustments to the navy.
The Ming Navy, which was originally mixed together, was divided into four combat fleets by Chongzhen.
The commander of the First Fleet is Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Second Fleet is Zheng Hongkui, the commander of the Third Fleet is Shi Tianfu, Shi Lang's uncle, and the commander of the Fourth Fleet is temporarily vacant, and Zheng Zhilong is currently temporarily replaced, but there will definitely be another candidate in the future.
After listening to the report, Chongzhen said with a smile: "Li and the Korean subjects on Ganghwa Island have been sent to the Japanese land?" ”
Zhu Cizhi would do this, but it was a little unexpected by Chongzhen, he thought that this kid would not be able to make up his mind, and finally kicked the ball back at his feet.
In fact, no matter what decision Zhu Cizhi makes, Chongzhen will not care.
What Chongzhen wants to see is that Zhu Cizhi can have his own opinions, whether it is right or wrong, the king must have his own opinions when he encounters problems, and firmly implement them.
Most things in this world are like this, there is no clear distinction between right and wrong, there are positive and negative aspects of everything, there is a good side and there must be a bad side, as long as you really make up your mind to do it, then no matter what strategy you take, there is a high probability that you will be able to achieve your goal in the end, which is the same way.
At this point, the crown prince and King Ding have no problem at all, and Zhu Cizhi obviously lacks exercise.
However, after this trip to North Korea, Chongzhen believes that Zhu Cijiong will definitely be touched in his heart, thinking of this, Chongzhen can't help but laugh dumbly, he really broke the old father's heart.
At that moment, Chongzhen beckoned seven-year-old Zhu Hezhen to come to him.
"Yu'er, come to the emperor's grandfather." Chongzhen motioned for Zhang Jimeng to start.
Zhang Jimeng immediately began to shake the handle, and in the next moment, the multi-barreled heavy machine gun fixed on the gun carriage roared loudly, accompanied by bursts of roars, and a dense rain of bullets poured over.
