In the capital of Goryeo, at the head of Chongrenmen, Zhu Di, the king of Yan of the Ming Dynasty, has been observing the battle situation in the city with a telescope, and dispatching reserve troops at any time to make arrangements for the battle situation in the city.

To tell the truth, although he attacked Kaesong for the first time, in Zhu Di's heart, a heart was actually carried up, and he was nervous throughout the whole process.

Anyway, this is the capital of a country, and this country has been around for a very long time.

His father sent an envoy to him, wanting to win over Goryeo and deal with Meng Yuan together. As a result, this Goryeo country ended up killing the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. If you don't have two brushes, dare to kill the Ming envoy?

Goryeo, which has been founded for a long time, dares to kill the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, such a country, if the armament is already weak, but as the capital, it must still have a certain strength, right?

Based on such thoughts, Zhu Di never let go for a moment. Including the two generals who have dealt with Goryeo for the longest time on the side of Liaodong, Ma Yun and Ye Wang, on the way by boat, they also repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to the enemy's situation.

However, what Zhu Di never expected was that all the offensives were very smooth. The Goryeo army, as if it were paper paste, was completely vulnerable.

Ever since the bombardment of the city gates by the bombardment of the city gates, he had never felt pressure. Attacking the city, I didn't see how many Goryeo troops were forming a counterattack. In the city of Goryeo, there are Goryeo soldiers scurrying around like headless flies. Even if there was a crowd gathered, it was only the kind of blind obedience, and it was scattered by the Ming soldiers.

Zhu Di has a feeling that the army defending the capital of Goryeo is not even as good as the ordinary army in the Ming army!

If you look at the whole city through the binoculars, you can see that there are Goryeo people who are kneeling and surrendering everywhere, and those who have lost their armor are really a mess.

The soldiers of the Ming army often kneeled there before they were killed. Even if the soldiers of the Ming army were killed, no one cared about them, and those Goryeo people who knelt on the ground and surrendered did not dare to move.

In less than half a day, Zhu Di had already seen that most of the city had calmed down. The shouts of killing echoed in the city, and it was the farthest area from Chongren Gate.

However, the city wall is already full of Ming soldiers, and it can be said that the battle of the capital of Goryeo has already been decided.

At this time, Zhu Di finally breathed a sigh of relief, and recalled that within his line of sight, it seemed that his subordinates had very few casualties, because there was no decent resistance.

Zhu Di grinned, the raid on the capital of Goryeo was really successful!

At this time, his mind remembered the contemptuous expression of his brother-in-law when he talked about Goryeo and called Goryeo sticks.

Hehe, those who understand Korea, the eldest brother-in-law!

If it weren't for the eldest brother-in-law who introduced the situation of Goryeo and knew that he had killed him in reality, he would not have had this splashing credit!

Hehe, among the founding generals, no one has the merit of destroying the country! This is the only one, after the news is sent back, I don't know what my father will be shocked about? and those founding generals, they must all be shocked and speechless!

In the future, I, Zhu Di, will definitely have a place among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, haha!

Thinking of these, Zhu Di's heart blossomed!

Just when he was happy, he saw his general Ma Yun leading a team of soldiers and escorting a large group of people over.

When I got closer, I heard Ma Yun excitedly tell Zhu Di: "Your Highness, the king of Goryeo and some of his important ministers have been arrested, and those are." ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

This thousand-mile raid and the capture of the capital of Goryeo is a very great achievement. And in this achievement, whether or not the king of Goryeo can be captured alive is the most important.

If the king of Goryeo had run away, it would have been the least ideal; If the king of Goryeo died, whether he committed suicide or died in battle, he could only be a general. Ideally, the king of Goryeo was captured alive.

As a result, I didn't expect that I really had to capture the king of Goryeo alive, and this great achievement was full of weight!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di turned his head to look at the captives who were escorted by Ma Yun. After seeing it clearly, I couldn't help frowning.

Seeing the king of Goryeo and the important ministers of Goryeo, they did not have the status they should be. It is polite to say that they are depressed, and they are all afraid of death, and they are soft bones at first glance.

To be honest, Zhu Di was a little disappointed. After all, he is the king and important minister of a country, at least in his mind, there must be some toughness, right?

At least if it were him, he would rather die than surrender!

Before Zhu Di could speak, he saw another general, Ye Wang, also escorting a bunch of people over.

Compared with Ma Yun's high-spirited and joyful, he is much calmer. No, after he took a look at the captives on Ma Yun's side, he walked a few steps quickly and said to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, the last general captured the queen and others of Goryeo, and there are some military generals, one of whom is the famous Goryeo general Cui Ying." ”

Is Cui Ying famous in Daming? Not famous!

However, in Korea, he is indeed a famous general. Ye Wang was most familiar with Goryeo state affairs, so he gave Cui Ying the title of a famous general, so that the prisoner status was not too cheap.

Most of the captives he took were women. Compared with Jack Ma's captives, although they are all panicked, they don't seem to be so afraid.

There is even a woman, looking at the clothes and costumes, it should be a harem concubine or something, she should be able to understand Chinese, after hearing Ye Wang's proclamation, knowing that the current young man is the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the highest commander of the Ming army, she stood up and asked: "Dare to ask the prince of Mingguo, why do we still attack us when we show favor to you Mingguo?" ”

Zhu Di didn't expect a woman to dare to stand up and question him, so much so that he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the king of Goryeo and his important ministers first: these men, the monarch and high-ranking officials of the country dare not question it!

Li Renren in the crowd saw that the Ming prince turned his head to look at them, and immediately panicked, and immediately shouted to the woman: "Shut up, do you women have a share of talking here?" Don't make amends to the Ming prince! ”

They spoke in Chinese, but with a strong Goryeo accent, Zhu Di had to think about it for a while before he understood what they were saying.

After understanding what they were talking about, Zhu Di couldn't help but despise these Goryeo monarchs even more. No woman has the courage to be tough and show the backbone of Goryeo!

However, the Goryeo monarch has no backbone, so it is just convenient for him to control the situation next.

So, he shouted coldly: "Look at your clothes, they are the same as Tartars, you are really a barbarian." ”

After a pause, Zhu Di's tone was even more stern and shouted: "Not to mention that you Goryeo killed my Ming envoy, you also sent troops to assist the Tartars in attacking my Ming army in Liaodong." Since you want to be my enemy of the Ming Dynasty, don't you keep it for the New Year? ”

Many people couldn't understand Zhu Di's words, but looking at Zhu Di's demeanor, they knew that he was angry, and suddenly everyone was frightened, thinking that they were going to kill them.

However, some people understood, or rather, they guessed and guessed, and probably knew what Zhu Di meant.

So the men immediately began to gossip, and even when they spoke, they pointed to certain people and said as if to blame.

Ye Wang could understand a little, so he whispered some translations in Zhu Di's ear.

In fact, Zhu Di could probably guess from their expressions that he was just shirking responsibility.

Sure enough, after these captives made a fuss for a while, the king of Goryeo pointed to a few people and said flatteringly: "Lone has been deceived by these traitors for a while, and it is they who want Lone to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty." Da Ming wants to be angry, is it okay to kill them and give Da Ming a breath? In the future, Goryeo will regard the Ming Dynasty as the suzerainty and will never betray! ”

Li Renren, Lin Jianwei and Cui Ying, who were in power, and were also pro-Yuan Goryeo civil and military officials, were all kicked out.

When Zhu Di saw this farce, he sneered in his heart. These Goryeo sticks are really a bunch of bad breeds.

To be honest, looking at these Goryeo sticks, Zhu Di's mood couldn't get better, so he immediately ordered.

First, the king of Goryeo was required to immediately issue an order that all Goryeo soldiers inside and outside Kaesong surrender to the Ming army without any resistance. Goryeo officials, assisting the Ming army to take over Kaesong.

Second, the king of Goryeo was asked to send an urgent messenger to Liaodong, ordering the Goryeo army there to surrender to the Ming army and assist the Ming army in attacking the Mongwon Tartars.

As for the pro-Yuan faction such as Li Renren and Cui Ying, they were naturally shackled and locked up first. Others, including the king of Goryeo, were placed under house arrest and treated better.

By this time, it was already approaching dusk. The fighting in Kaesong has ended, and the whole city is full of Ming soldiers on guard and patrol, as well as a team escorting prisoners and holding them in a centralized manner.

The Ming army had to stay in Kaesong for at least some time, and the Goryeo monarchs and ministers were captured alive, which could also ensure the safety of the Ming army to the greatest extent.

Originally, Zhu Di's plan was to retreat to Liaodong by water after capturing Kaesong.

However, the matter of attacking the city is much easier than expected. Therefore, Zhu Di didn't think about what to do next for a while.

Either way, at least in the short term, it's definitely in Kaesong. Zhu Di looked in the direction of Liaodong from afar, thinking in his heart, I hope that after the eldest brother-in-law receives the news, there will be some movement, right? When the time comes, it will depend on the situation.

……………………

From Kaecheng to Liaodong, it is less than 300 miles, but the road is tortuous, and it must be a lot more distance. However, no matter how far it goes, it is only a small country in Goryeo, and it is not far away. The messenger who was in an urgent hurry for 800 miles was rushing to Liaodong.

On the Liaodong side, Li Chenggui and Cao Minxiu of Goryeo had converged, and their troops reached more than 45,000 people. Still outside Liaoyang City, with the Mongol army, it is not to go, nor to stay, and it is in an embarrassing situation.

Of course, as far as the Koreans are concerned, they definitely want to go. Originally, I thought that the snipe and the clam would compete with each other, and the fisherman would make a profit, but it was obvious that the battle situation was one-sided, and he could not eat the rice by stealing the chickens, and there was no possibility for the fisherman.

But if they wanted to leave, the Mongols would not agree. Once he angered the Mongols, he just took all the anger he received on the side of the Ming army this time on them.

Anyway, it is impossible to attack Liaoyang. No matter how forced the Mongols are, it will be impossible. Even the field battle failed to win the Ming army, how could it be possible to win the Ming army in the siege war!

No, I heard Cao Minxiu complain: "What is this called, I really don't know what those people in the court think, I have to wade into this troubled water!" ”

Li Chenggui listened, sighed, then shook his head and said: "It's still the strength of the Ming army, which is beyond our imagination. ”

Speaking of this, he frowned and added: "It's not that we haven't dealt with the Ming army, I've been thinking about this for the past few days. The previous Ming army, although it was also powerful, was at least within the range of our estimates. But this battle ......"

As he spoke, he sighed again and said: "The formation of the Ming army has never been seen before, and it is very powerful when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. Not to mention, their muskets and artillery are even more powerful to the point of being incredible. You haven't seen it, but I've really understood. I dare to assert that the Mengyuan Empire will no longer have the glory it once had, and Liaodong should soon be owned by the Ming Kingdom! ”

Although Cao Minxiu came from behind, he also heard about the battle situation in the army, so he didn't have any intention to refute Li Chenggui's words to increase the popularity of others, but just asked Li Chenggui: "The Ming army is so strong, and the sudden change in the situation in Liaodong will definitely affect the overall situation of the DPRK and China, and the pro-Yuan faction is afraid that it will have a headache." ”

Li Chenggui listened and did not answer. Just grimly, he thought for a while and said: "There is not much grain and grass in the army, and the Mongols will definitely not give it, and they still have to transport it from the country." Otherwise, we will use this as an excuse to see if the Mongols can let us go back? ”

If they were all cavalry, they would have had enough mobility to retreat to the country before the Mongols could react. In that case, Li Chenggui is really not afraid that the Mongols will pursue it afterwards. With the current combat strength of the Mongols, if they really want to attack Goryeo, he is not afraid at all.

It's just a pity that most of the Goryeo army was infantry, and it was impossible to withdraw to the country before the Mongols reacted.

Cao Minxiu naturally knew about this difficulty, and at this time heard that Li Chenggui wanted to use grain as an excuse, or the Mongols would provide grain and grass and continue to maintain the status quo; Or will the Mongols have to agree to let the army return to Goryeo to replenish grain and grass?

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and said: "This is a good idea, we can use the excuse to explain that the army and the Jurchens are harassing in the rear, and it is not enough to transport food if the non-large army goes back." In this case, it is impossible for the Mongols to give grain and grass, so we can only go back! ”

Not only the two of them, but also the soldiers below, were tired of staying in Liaodong and wanted to go back as soon as possible.

The two discussed how to communicate with the Mongols when they heard hurried footsteps outside.

I have to say that the military discipline of the army under Li Chenggui is still good. I heard the soldiers outside the Chinese military tent, shouting loudly outside: "Who are you, it is strictly forbidden to make noise in front of the Chinese military tent!" ”

"Eight hundred miles to open the city, the king's will has arrived, get out of the way!"
