Chapter 46: The King of Goryeo

"Now, it's just that the Ming army is going to act rashly. If you can't make peace with the Celestial Empire. Then, Nanjing will be heard by the heavens, and the edict will not be subordinate. It is up and down for Goryeo, afraid of rubble, but it is too late to regret it. The minister invited him to go to the camp of the Ming army to ask for peace, and sent the Ming army away. Restart the tribute, make amends to the Celestial Empire, the old minister will follow the cry of the Qin court, if the Celestial Empire cannot forgive Goryeo, the old minister is willing to lead the way down. King, it's not too late to make amends-------"

It's just that when it comes to it, Wang Yu, the king of Goryeo, can't listen to it anymore.

He is unwilling to admit his mistakes, and he is even more unwilling to bow his head to Mingren at this time, which is the most unacceptable, what this old minister said, in the final analysis, is his fault.

Well, it's his fault. But that's what you can say.

At this time, this old minister is really loyal from the bottom of his heart, although he said that he is a little unpleasant, especially some families who have land in the north, and they are even more disobedient, why did their land, slaves, and even family members who died on the battlefield die in vain?

You must know that Ye Shen pursued the greatest military effect, but he showed no mercy at all, and he didn't dare to say that the place he passed was a blank land. But there was no military discipline for the Jurchens. There is only one requirement, people who can speak Chinese are not killed.

If you can speak Chinese, you are either a Han Chinese who fled here from Liaodong, or a high-ranking official and dignitary. In short, it's okay to keep one hand.

But this old minister's words, even if they don't like it, are the reality they face.

Ye Shen fought and ripped off the fig leaf of the Goryeo Dynasty. Revealing their real bottoms. claims to be an army of hundreds of thousands, but in fact, almost half of the empty salary, almost a paper tiger. And the internal contradictions are also very large. Otherwise, there would be no Ye Shen who didn't come, and there would be slaves and maids who responded.

Compared with the equalization policy implemented by Zhu Yuanzhang within the Ming Dynasty. The slaves and maidservants of Goryeo did not have even the most basic personal freedom.

The last time it shook the whole of Goryeo, if it wasn't for the end of Mongolia, the Sanbibi Rebellion that almost destroyed Goryeo has passed for nearly a hundred years, and the contradiction between population and land has reached the other half of the flashpoint.

At this moment, Goryeo can be described as internal and external troubles.

At this time, how can you start a war with the rising Ming Dynasty?

The fate of Goguryeo is proof of this.

Therefore, whether it is bowing your head, surrendering, kneeling, or turning the page of this matter cleanly, Goryeo is honest and obedient to the Ming Dynasty, and they happily enjoy their power and wealth, isn't it very good.

But this is what the king of Goryeo Wang Yu never wants to see.

Because before that, the Yuan Dynasty controlled Goryeo for nearly a hundred years, and it can be said that the Yuan Dynasty had the deepest control over Goryeo among the Central Plains courts. To the point where officials were set up in the territory of Goryeo, Goryeo was even conquered in the eastern provinces.

And it's not like no one has resisted. However, the Yuan Dynasty did not hesitate to depose the king of Goryeo.

This is what Wang Yu is most worried about and afraid of.

If you want to sacrifice Wang Yu alone, and save Goryeo. Wang Yu will definitely not be saved. If you sacrifice Goryeo, you can keep Wang Yu's status and power. Wang Yu will definitely do it. That's the way it is. If he bows to Da Ming, what will Da Ming do? Someone must be held accountable for this matter?

This is one of his strong advocacies. Isn't he responsible?

This is absolutely not a no-go.

Even if you surrender to the Ming Dynasty, you must let the Ming know that Goryeo is capable of self-preservation. Dispel the idea of the Ming annexing Goryeo and abolishing it. This is the only way to surrender. Or rather, peace.

Of course, Wang Yu has this idea, and he also has a little bit of credit.

What He Xi did in Nanyang. At this moment, it has also spread all over the world. For China, it was He Xi's great achievements and the great victory of the Ming Dynasty. But for many vassal states, the meaning is difficult to understand. Wonder if the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty is going to turn.

Wang Yu is also one of them.

He feared that Goryeo would become second in Java.

And Java is too far away from Daming, so there is a chance to split in two, but does Goryeo have such a chance?

A lot of young people do things, that's how they do. Underestimating the difficulty of things before doing things, Wang Yu thought about regaining Goryeo's territory east of the Yalu River, and if it went well, he could still occupy Liaodong. Even if it doesn't go well, it can defeat the Ming army and force peace by victory.

And then things don't go well, and they fall into the other extreme. Overestimating the seriousness of the matter.

In fact, at this time, Wang Yu really admitted defeat to Daming, gave in softly, and the most ruthless thing was to come to Daming in person to ask for the guilt. Then it's going to be hard. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang intends to annex Goryeo, he still has to be faced, and he must change his method, at least to give the Goryeo royal family a high placement. Otherwise, when the Ming Dynasty faced other feudal states, it would not be easy to speak.

After all, there are always wise people in every country. They are not fools.

And Wang Yu fell into the other extreme, feeling that he was finished. Don't dare to compromise internally and externally. One can only hope for a military victory to consolidate his position.

And to this point, Wang Yu is on a dead end.

At this time, Wang Yu was very sensitive and brutal. Faced with this old minister's words, he suddenly became angry, pulled out his long sword, and stabbed the old minister in the chest. Blood splattered out and sprinkled on Wang Yu's face, and Wang Yu's bloody face, as if he was an evil ghost, looked at the ministers.

These ministers seem to have met Wang Yu for the first time.

As mentioned earlier, the power of the great families within Goryeo is very high. And standing here, all of them are from big clans, and such people are not people who can be killed when they say they can. At this moment, everyone was saddened. No one dares to advise Wang Yu anymore.

But the foundation of Wang Yu's rule has almost collapsed.

Wang Yu said: "Order." Ordered the five guards to send troops. The herald asked Li Chenggui to send troops, and ordered all the people in the north to win the first rank of the Ming army, and they were rewarded for their loneliness, so that they could not get out of Goryeo. ”

"Yes."

At this time, the city ordered the sound of horns whining.

Under Ye Shen's command, thousands turned their horses' heads and began to retreat.

Someone had already fallen to his knees on the ground and said; "The Great King Shenwei. The enemy was overwhelmed by the king's might and fled. ”

Seeing this, Wang Yu opened his arms and laughed. One by one, the rest fell to their knees and shouted, "The Great King is mighty." ”

Seeing this, several old ministers also glanced at each other and knelt down in the crowd, but their mouths were tightly closed, and no one seemed to notice it in the midst of the shouts of the great king's divine might.

------

Under Goryeo City, Ye Shen shifted from attacking to retreating. Li Chenggui, the first general of Goryeo, and the founder of the dynasty-Xian, officially entered the battle with Ye Shen, and blocked Ye Shen's back road. The battle between them hadn't started yet, and between Lan Yu and Feng Sheng, there had already been a falling out.

In the city of Beiping.

Lan Yu took the paperwork in He Xi's hand and said; "Song Guogong, a small country, dares to offend the Celestial Empire, and he will definitely teach a lesson or two. Now that Liaodong has asked for help. I'm going to ask for my life. ”

Sapphire was actually ready for a long time. He Xi's paperwork arrived at him and was intercepted by him. After waiting for a few days, I came here to explain the matter.

Feng Sheng said; "The Marquis of Yongchang is a famous general of the dynasty. Korea is a small country, and I don't need you. I think it's okay to send the veteran Wang Bi over. After all, it is only necessary to guard both sides of the Yalu River. As for Ye Shen------" Feng Sheng paused slightly, shook his head and said; "He's too bold. No matter how you say it, Goryeo is also a vassal of the imperial court, a country that His Majesty formulated back then. Even if he wants to crusade, it's not that he can decide on a single side, even if He Xi is here, he can't make a decision, even if I am the same. ”

"This is the rule of the imperial court. Is this something that can be said to be fought? ”

"This fight, if he fights well. I will intercede with Your Majesty. But capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. You must teach him a good lesson and let him know the rules, if he can't come back? I don't know the rules, and I am ambitious and talented. It's clean even if it's dead. ”

"Send troops deep into a foreign land to save him, but I don't even want to think about it. The matter was settled. ”

"Don't bother with Yongchanghou. The paperwork is left. The door is over there. ”

Feng Sheng looked at Lan Yu calmly, and said, "It's good to go, don't send it," but he didn't say it, but it was actually expressed. Even if Lan Yu is also considered a great achievement, but in front of Feng Sheng, it is just like that.
