Chapter 62: Li Chenggui had no choice but to defect

It's just that Yao Guangxiao doesn't know that today's Goryeo is still deeply influenced by Sinology, and it has been very restrained, and in the next few hundred years, there are more exciting things.

To be honest, Li Chenggui doesn't think there's anything wrong with marrying with the same surname. After all, the bloodline is already far away. But now Daming is the one who can decide the new lord of Goryeo. Li Chenggui keenly felt the meaning of Yao Guangxiao's words. Yao Guangxiao disagreed with this candidate.

There are two interpretations for disagreement.

First, Yao Guangxiao was only dissatisfied with the candidate in front of him. Second, Yao Guangxiao has a candidate.

Li Chenggui said tentatively; "Is there a candidate for Lord Yao?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "Is there no one in the Goryeo royal family? ”

Zheng Evangelist sighed and said, "The country is unfortunate. ”

Yao Guangxiao asked again: "Within the five suits, is there none?" ”

Li Chenggui shook his head and said, "If there is, why not recommend Wang Yao to come out?" ”

Yao Guangxiao was silent for a while and said; "I do have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Li Chenggui immediately said: "Lord Yao just said. ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "As a kingdom, the Celestial Empire naturally takes care of the survival of Goryeo. It's just that the current situation in Goryeo was something I never expected. The choice of Goryeo Yuanzong is not enough to convince Goryeo up and down, and there is no one in the Goryeo near branch. It is better to ask Your Majesty to seal a prince to Goryeo. Backed by the Ming Dynasty. Goryeo will definitely be able to calm down quickly, and Goryeo and Daming will naturally be able to make friends for generations. When the time comes, it will also be a blessing for the upper and lower levels of Goryeo. ”

Yao Guangxiao knew the situation of the Goryeo clan, and he had to ask knowingly, that is, he made them unable to do it again and again, and finally put forward his own opinion. It sounds like Yao Guangxiao has a good intention. But in the eyes of Li Chenggui and Zheng Chuandao, they are poor and poor.

In fact, for the Goryeo clan, it is really not a bad thing to welcome a Ming prince as king. Since then, in many things in Goryeo, there is no need to worry about what happened to Daming. The relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo will be closer than ever.

It's just that it's not a good way for Li Chenggui.

The reason why Li Chenggui came up with a borrowed teacher to quell the rebellion was essentially to fight for the name of righteousness. If you want to have one for the Ming court, the gentleman can be bullied. And the Yuan Dynasty also controlled Goryeo for many years.

When the time comes, the Yuan Dynasty will be gone.

Li Chenggui has done a good job of the situation that the Ming Dynasty controlled Goryeo for many years. And the Li family served as the spokesperson of the Ming Dynasty in Goryeo. Nature is on top. Even if the Ming Dynasty did not covet the land of Goryeo. Even Li Chenggui felt that he still had a chance.

A chance to touch the throne of Goryeo.

It's just that now Da Ming has played his hole cards. It was clear that he wanted to annex Goryeo.

No matter how nice Yao Guangxiao said. It's not going to change in nature.

The corners of Li Chenggui's mouth were slightly hooked, trying to keep smiling. But the smile was ugly, and he said: "In the remote land of Goryeo, I don't dare to work the son of heaven." ”

Yao Guangxiao said; "Otherwise, General Li still doesn't understand the affairs of the imperial court. In recent years, His Majesty has thought about the changes of the past and the present, restored the old system, and revived feudalism. Jingjiang sealed Taiwan. The king of Chu sealed Java, and the king of Zhou sealed the old port. They are all newly opened barren lands, infested with snakes and insects, and plagues are rampant, but they are to open up new homes for future generations. Although the country of Goryeo is remote now, the country of Mija, which has been inherited for thousands of years, will only be happy and will not fail to come. ”

"You can rest assured of that. Whether it is the king of Jingjiang or the king of Zhou, they were all sent by Lord He of my family. We are very familiar with this kind of thing. ”

Yao Guangxiao is kind and pleasant, but under the words, the soldiers are sharp. made Li Chenggui feel breathless.

Li Chenggui tried to calm down and said; "The stakes are so high that I can't say a word, let me think about it."

Yao Guangxiao said: "That's nature. ”

Immediately, Yao Guangxiao left.

Wait for Yao Guangxiao to leave.

Li Chenggui was stunned like a wooden chicken, falling into deep thought, but Zheng Daochuan couldn't help it, and shouted: "Ming thieves and wolves have ambitions, they have long wanted to annex Goryeo." What happened before was just an excuse, even if there was no matter of the king's invasion of Liao, they would have attacked it. ”

"I thought it would be able to ease up. It was my fault. ”

Zheng Daochuan slapped himself twice, and his face was immediately flushed, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. It's just that no matter how painful the face is, it can't compare to the distress.

Although Chung Do-chuan was not satisfied with the Goryeo Dynasty, he was bent on overthrowing it. However, it is not that he has no feelings for the Goryeo nation. From the Sanhan period on the Chaoxian Peninsula to the later Three Kingdoms period, until now, there is a thousand-year-old inheritance.

Even though it has been influenced by Chinese culture. But they are not Chinese after all.

Maybe the small people below don't have any national consciousness at all, but it's not that Dr. Koryo doesn't have this idea. As one of the doctors of Goryeo, Zheng Daochuan never wanted Goryeo to be annexed by the Ming Dynasty.

Even during the control of the Yuan Dynasty, the Goryeo royal family inheritance was still there. Now the Ming Dynasty's methods are more ruthless than those of the Yuan Dynasty.

Faced with the current situation, Zheng Daochuan is completely powerless. Even the current situation is somewhat influenced by him. His anger and self-blame could not be vented outside, so he vented it on himself.

"Alright." Li Chenggui said loudly. He was originally a tiger general, but at this moment, he did not restrain his voice at all, and his voice was like a bell, shaking the whole room to buzz. said: "Pass the order to go down, gather the army, except for my headquarters, all of them are placed outside Pingcheng, paved with loess, and sprinkled with clear water." Prepare to welcome the angel, and then write a letter and send it to the Ming army camp, that is, I, Li Chenggui, asked the Son of Heaven to descend the prince to the lord of Goryeo and block Haidong. ”

Li Chenggui is completely resigned to his fate.

If you can't beat it, join in. He had already begun to plan what he would do under the new king's hands in the future. His letter is just a statement.

"General. Is this the end of the thousand-year-old inheritance of the basket? Zheng Daochuan said in a low voice.

Li Chenggui said indifferently: "This is not something I should think about, what is the will of God, as long as God knows, I am just a person who saves my life in troubled times." ”

Li Chenggui's heart is not as calm as he said. It can even be said that the river has been turned upside down. It was his only option.

He is unwilling, and there is no other way to go, and this road may not be easy to walk. But all other roads are dead.

And Li Chenggui changed his mind, and the Goryeo army below was not so easy to turn around. Most of Li Chenggui's headquarters are from Shuangcheng. As mentioned earlier, the place of Shuangcheng has changed hands continuously, today it will be Goryeo, and tomorrow it will be the Yuan Dynasty.

The sense of belonging to the country is not strong. However, the Li family, whether in the Yuan Dynasty or in Goryeo, is a two-city clan. Therefore, they have a strong presence.

Therefore, there is no problem with Li Chenggui's headquarters at all.

The problem is the more than 100,000 horses that have just belonged to Li Chenggui. Of course, these people have such and such problems, as well as empty salaries and so on. But many of the upper-level generals were from the Goryeo clan. They couldn't stand Li Chenggui's defection.

And Li Chenggui made such a big military move. A lot of the news is hard to hide.

Just right. Li Chenggui was also worried that these troops were not under control, and when the Ming army came, something would happen. So I also started to clean it.

In this year, the night of Heijo was bloody.

Under Li Chenggui's arrangement, with the men and horses of the headquarters, those dissenting generals were purged, and thousands of people were killed in a row. The whole army was shocked. Even if there are people who have other thoughts. I don't dare to take the lead at this moment.

And the response to Li Chenggui's book also came.

First of all, He Xi indicated that he had already forwarded Li Chenggui's recital to His Majesty, and His Majesty would definitely remember Li Chenggui's merits.

Secondly, He Xi proposed that the army march eastward and enter Pingcheng, and the two armies will be combined into one place, with Ye Wang, the commander of the Ming army. Manage the army together. Li Chenggui was listed as a deputy marshal. It's a lot of weight. In fact, it was Li Chenggui who surrendered and handed over the command of the army.

without waiting for Li Chenggui to respond. He Xi and others had already personally raised an army of 40,000 from Xicheng and took over the city camp of the Goryeo army along the way. Until the bottom of the castle.

Waiting for the gate of Pingcheng to open as scheduled?

If he could, Li Chenggui would really have defected. There is a smooth road in front of you, if not, there will be a big battle under the city of Pingcheng today, and it is likely to be the last big battle of the year.

Because it's getting colder.
