Chapter 40 opens the capital in a word
After receiving the old man's secret letter, Zhu Di was finally relieved.
Subsequently, the Ming Society dispatched more than 10,000 sailors to transport grain and grass materials to Zhu Di, and also guarded against the sneak attack of Goryeo and Ryukyu sailors.
"Yes, it would be nice to have the Han River as the boundary!"
"Even if the front line is urgent, there are still 20,000 veterans in Kaidu, and the king of Goryeo has recruited another 30,000 new soldiers, so it is enough to hold Kaidu."
Zhu Di didn't believe that with the few men and horses in the Ryukyus, he could quickly capture Kaidu, and the previous Axe Mountain City was already a miracle.
"If His Royal Highness captures Kaidu, presumably this Heavenly King will be embarrassed to ask for it." Yao Guangxiao laughed, he didn't believe that Zhu Sang could quickly capture Kaidu.
In order to deal with the Wa Kingdom, the king of Goryeo took away most of the soldiers, and even did not need 200,000 people, plus the cooperation of the sailors, only tens of thousands of them could be quickly killed under the capital city.
……
Ten days later, the 10,000 sailors who delivered the goods back to Dongfan also rushed back, and Zhu Sang's team returned to 50,000 horses, of which 30,000 were sailors.
As soon as he entered the coast of Goryeo, Zhu Sang woke up 10,000 Goryeo sailors, and then under the cover of the Goryeo sailors, more than 40,000 Ryukyu troops and thousands of Goryeo recruits successfully landed at the sea pier off the coast of Kaesong.
After resting for half a day ashore and ordering 5,000 Goryeo recruits to take the lead, Zhu Sang marched to Kaidu with only 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers.
The extra thousands of cavalry and foot soldiers were also transferred from Ryukyu and Tofan Island.
Now there are 20,000 sailors on Dongfan Island to block the sneak attack of pirates, and the Wa Kingdom is busy fighting Goryeo and has no time to take care of Ryukyu, and Lao Zhu will not think about attacking Ryukyu and Dongfan Island when he waits for the war situation in Goryeo.
Controlling the current Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu Du already feels very difficult, and to be honest, he can't look down on the outside world.
Although there were 5,000 Goryeo soldiers as the vanguard, the city of Kaedu had already been under martial law.
The main force went south, and now Goryeo is unusually weak, Li Chenggui does not think that the Ming Dynasty will send troops, but he is also worried about the disappeared Zhu Sang.
Unknown soldiers were discovered, even if they were Goryeo soldiers, and General Yi Sung-myung, the brother of the King of Goryeo, immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.
Kaidu is not far from the sea, and before the sun sets, Zhu Sang also came to the city of Kaidu smoothly.
"Damn it, it's really Zhu Sang, a thief! And those traitors! Li Chengming gritted his teeth and scolded angrily.
Now the most hated by the people in Goryeo is not the Japanese Kou, but the King of Zhusang.
"If he hadn't attacked our navy, how could the Japanese have landed successfully! Generals, they are only 20,000 men, and the last general will ask for battle. Jin Xianfeng asked loudly, his eyes glaring angrily at Zhu Sang under the city all the time.
The enemy army was tired and tired, but Li Chengming still shook his head. "The 30,000 recruits in Kaidu have not yet been trained, so they can't go to war for the time being!"
"Hmph, then let him live for a while longer!"
Li Chengming sighed secretly! The 5,000 cavalry outside the city alone made him dare not go out of the city, and although the Ryukyu army could not help it, the left side of the manor town was about to suffer.
Seeing Zhu Sang looking at the city wall, He Shan reminded him. "There is still an hour before it gets dark, will the king of heaven set up camp?"
"No, I'll get ready to enter the city after a while." Zhu Sang shook his head, he didn't plan to wait until tomorrow.
"It's the king." He Shan didn't say much more.
"Isn't there a reward in the system?"
[The host's 30,000 recruits still belong to the civilian household because they have not completed half of their training, and the 20,000 Goryeo soldiers cannot threaten the 5,000 cavalry, and the Kaidu has no threat to the host, so there is no reward for the time being.] ]
Smiling, Zhu Sang whispered. "The system first awakens the 10,000 households directly related to the 5,000 Goryeo soldiers and the recruits defending the city."
[Honoring the host.] ]
[The awakening is complete, and the five thousand veterans and ten thousand recruits at the south gate of the capital are waiting for the order.] ]
After watching it, Li Chengming was also puzzled.
"This Ryukyu army is not afraid to evacuate the camp, do you still want to attack the city!"
A lieutenant laughed. "General, they don't even have a ladder! Unless the cavalry can fly. ”
Li Chengming also nodded happily. "With them, it's okay for anyone to open! I only hope that the decisive battle of Busan can end quickly, otherwise after a long time, these Ryukyu troops will threaten the grain route of the main force going south! ”
The old minister of Goryeo immediately reminded. "General Li, the food and materials prepared by the king are enough for the main force to consume for more than a month, and the war has already started on the Pusan side, it shouldn't take too long for the main force to come back to help!"
"That's right! There are also important southern towns such as Seoul that can provide grain and grass! Li Chengming was smiling, but he was very worried!
More than 150,000 Japanese have landed, and it is estimated that it will reach 200,000! The army assembled by the king of Goryeo was also more than 200,000, but he knew that the Japanese warriors were not so easy to deal with.
In his opinion, as long as he can stop the undefeated Japanese army, it is already a big victory!
Li Chengming and the other generals did not notice the changes in the veterans around them at this time, they were worried or hateful before, but now their eyes looking outside the city are full of eagerness.
Seeing that his subordinates were almost resting, Zhu Sang got on his horse and slowly approached the city wall with dozens of personal guard cavalry.
"He is Zhu Tianwang! Sure enough, it's a child. ”
"Does the general want to shoot this kid with a crossbow?"
Li Chengming didn't notice the angry eyes around him, he thought that all the soldiers were just as eager to kill the enemies outside the city as he was.
"After all, this Zhu Sang is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and you must not offend the Ming Dynasty at this time!"
The old minister nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right! You can't hurt Prince Zhusang! ”
In case the king of Goryeo was defeated by the Japanese invaders, Goryeo could only ask the Ming to send troops to rescue.
If it weren't for the fear that Goryeo would be occupied by Zhu Sang, Lao Zhu wouldn't want to occupy Goryeo.
At this time, the news of the border being broken was still on the way, so the people of Goryeo did not dare to offend the Ming Dynasty.
When he came to about two hundred meters outside the city, Zhu Sang stopped his horse and shouted.
"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, the Goryeo warriors will open the city gate, and this king will give you the land and silver taels."
"Open the gates of the city, and divide the land and silver together." Dozens of guards also shouted.
"Humph! Don't want to move the hearts of our army. Li Chengming sneered.
Now the Koreans are eager to eat its meat, how can they be beaten by a word.
"I'm waiting for the order!"
"Open the gates."
"The king of heaven divides the land and divides the silver taels."
When he turned around, Li Chengming couldn't believe that more than 10,000 people in Chengtou City had responded.
"What the hell are you doing?" A young general drew his sword and roared.
"Kill him."
"No..."The young general just wanted to beg for mercy and was cut to the ground.
"Damn it! You guys! How could it be! ”
"How so?" Li Chengming shouted tremblingly, and there were more than a dozen guards around him who had not changed, but the surrounding soldiers had already drawn their swords to surround and kill.
"Stop, General Li surrenders first!" Cheng Lao Guoxiang shouted in panic!
Listening to the movement, he knew that the city gate had been opened, and Li Chengming could only smile and nod bitterly! "Put down your sword and surrender!"
Li Chengming surrendered, and the soldiers around him did not embarrass them, after all, they were their commanders before.
"The Great General has an order to surrender to the Ryukyu Army."
Hearing this, the other Korean soldiers were still confused.
"How can you surrender!"
"Death will not surrender!" With a shout of rage, the men hurried to the city gate.
"Let's go, let's leave Kaidu first."
Even with Li Chengming's order, more than 10,000 veterans were unwilling to surrender, and began to flee one after another while the Ryukyu cavalry did not kill them.
Finding out that the deserter was heading south, Zhu Sang gave the order. "Don't bother with them, take control of the capital first."
Even the thousands of forbidden troops in the Goryeo palace had fled, and knowing the viciousness of King Zhusang, many large officials also hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to flee.
Even if they couldn't escape the city, some people began to disguise themselves as civilians and hide in inconspicuous places in the city.
