Compared with North Korea, the war on the Ryukyu side is naturally more suspenseful.

The most likely variable is not to encounter any storms at sea on the way.

Fortunately, it seems that the fortunes of the country are prospering, and the fleet of the Oriental Naval Division has arrived smoothly.

Mao Longyin fell to his knees on the bow deck and cried bitterly.

Hu Zongxian, who was appointed from the imperial study to the military council and served as a staff officer with the army, looked at the area of Naha Port and Shuri Castle not far away, his heart was heavy, and his brows were tightly locked.

Behind him, the Ryukyu Zhunu, who was holding the hands of his younger brother and sister, was originally called Ashiriya Megumi according to Siganashi, and the name Tokudai.

Her sister Guiyue also survived, and now she can't help crying as she looks at the ruins there: "Father and brother and brother ...... it"

"The thieves are mad!" Hu Zongxian turned around and helped Mao Longyin up, and saluted to Deda Zhunu and Taitung Gong Shangyuan, "Yaeyama Island and Miyako Island have been frequently looted, not to mention here. At this time, it is needless to say that the thieves knew that the Ming Dynasty would have the intention of requisitioning, so they first destroyed the human power, destroyed the Hong Kong and damaged roads, and plundered the capital. Now that Ryukyu has suffered this catastrophe, it is the same as the destruction of the country. Taitung Gong and Deda Zhu Nu, please rest assured, the Ming Dynasty will capture and kill the criminal chiefs and thieves to comfort the heroic souls of the Ryukyus. ”

De Da Zhu Nu's hands were cold, and now there was only hatred and powerlessness left.

She took her sister and hid in the Yaeyama Islands in the far southwest. In the Ryukyus, the heaviest punishment of exile was to the Yaeyama Islands. It is closer to Taiwan, but in addition to the Miyako Islands, where the main island of the Ryukyus is located, it is necessary to sail hundreds of miles to reach the main island where the capital is located.

Even the poorest of the islands, Yaeyama and the Miyako Islands, had been raided by the Japanese Invaders, and she had been imagining what the main island would look like for the people who had fled the past.

Now I see it with my own eyes, it's like hell.

There are no people, only broken walls.

The Ryukyu Islands, which were originally prosperous and had tens of thousands of people, how many people are left now?

And all this, can you complain that the Ming Dynasty wants to conquer the Japanese state? He who has done such terrible deeds is a thief.

Hu Zongxian felt very heavy: "The princes of the court never thought that the blood book of wishing women was not exaggerated. This official has seen it with his own eyes, and it is difficult to find such bestiality in the annals of history! Liu Xian, first find a safe haven, anchor for the time being, carry people ashore in a small boat, and repair the port. General Xu, the island must be searched first, and General Mao and De Da Zhunu will lead the way, or there are people who have survived and hidden. In addition to being wary of the robbers who have retreated in the northeast, this Ryukyu Island...... Now that there are few people, I have to divide some boats to Yaeyama and Miyako and move some people over......"

Liu Xian, who had just been admitted to the martial arts, was assigned to this Oriental sailor, and now he received his order first.

What Hu Zongxian has to do is to help the staff according to the actual situation.

But now the staff is not how to drive out the Ryukyu pirates first, but how to clean up the mess they left behind and prepare for the next step of the conquest of the Japanese state.

In front of him, he had to report back to Beijing as soon as possible.

The thieves actually destroyed the most prosperous main island of the Ryukyus: everything that could be burned was set on fire; Stone houses that could not be destroyed, and the valuables contained therein were taken away; As for the people on the island, it seems that the words written in the blood book "The young and strong girls were taken away, and the old and weak were all slaughtered" is not a lie.

Such a Ryukyu Island, which lacks manpower and materials, if there is no great effort and the injection of foreign resources, how can it be used as a springboard for the Ming army's further expedition to the Wa Kingdom?

The direct extermination of the population would be the greatest difficulty that the Oriental Sea Division would face in the direction of the Ryukyus.

"The Ryukyu Islands are still like this, and the Amami Islands are ......" Mao Longyin was no longer lucky about the survival of his family, and cried loudly, "There are more than 150,000 people in the Ryukyus, but I'm afraid of more than ten twenty-three!" It's too late, it's too late......"

Hu Zongxian clenched his fists listening to the sound of the waves and his bitter cry, and was silent for a while before saying: "This revenge, the Ming Dynasty will avenge the Ryukyus!" The surviving people of Ryukyu will not die in a catastrophe, and the Ming Dynasty will surely be blessed in the future! This official will make it clear to His Majesty that he will transfer grain and other essential goods from Zhejiang, Fujian, and Taiwan to the Ryukyus. Ladies and gentlemen, please rebuild the port first! ”

They all arrived here, and it was already June.

The news was returned to Beijing, and after the order was issued, the fleet actually came here, and I am afraid that it would be several more months.

At the end of February, the Liaodong Army crossed the Yalu River and attacked from north to south, and at the end of March, the escort fleet of the Great Wall Company and the Shipping Bureau led by the Beiyang Naval Division and Yan Shifan also blockaded and attacked the coastal areas of Korea from the southwest and southeast of Korea from the two directions of Jeju Island and Tsushima Island respectively.

Because Queen Wending and Yin Yuanhengshi coup d'état, Li Yi and Wang Shizi died one after another in a few months, and how did the unstable North Korea face the Ming sea and land army?

Among them are also leading the way parties such as Li and Refugees.

Now, Song Yangchen's general flag and the Ming Sanchen flag have been planted in Kaesong, Gyeonggi Province.

This Kaesong was the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty for nearly 500 years. After the establishment of the Joseon Dynasty, the capital was moved to "Nanjing" during the Goryeo Dynasty, and the name was changed from Hanyang to Seoul.

Kaesong and Seoul belong to the same Gyeonggi Province, and they are only a few dozen miles apart. Even if the road is crooked, it is already close to the heart.

Daemyeonggung Palace, Kaesong, was originally the residence of the Goryeo Dynasty and was also used as a place of accommodation for foreign envoys. Later, it was renamed Sungkyunkwan and was the place where the country cultivated talents.

Today, the Joseon Dynasty has its capital in Seoul, where a Sungkyunkwan has been rebuilt. And the Daming Palace in Kaecheng is now ruled by Gong Yongqing and Song Liangchen, who entered the Ming Dynasty and entered the court.

"The Hamgyong rebels must be guarded!" Gong Yongqing said to Song Liangchen, "When the Liaodong border army entered the court, although His Majesty ordered the Jianzhou Jurchens not to help the rebellion, they may not be able to listen!" ”

The first to be dealt with on land was the border army of Yin Yuanheng's camp in Ping'an Province south of the Yalu River. Together, the surroundings of several border cities can already be regarded as "strong walls and clear fields". And under the power of the artillery array of the New Ming Army, how can the walls and gates of these border cities stand this?

In addition, Li went to the front line to call for surrender as the original prince, and although the main general who participated in the siege of Wang Shizi was unforgivable, how could the low-level generals and ordinary soldiers be willing to die with him?

On the other side, it's a genuine Ming elite soldier!

This routine was like a bamboo in the north of Pyongan Province, and it was only in the southern Pyongyang area of Pyongan Province that he used to "protect orthodoxy" with Yin Ren and Wang Shizi that he encountered the first hard stubble.

Stationed in Pyongyang, he was Yin Yuanheng's closest partner, and he was the executor who broke the city and poisoned Yin Ren and Wang Shizi at the beginning. They are the core adversaries, can they be trusted after surrendering? It is impossible for Li to let them go if he wants to avenge his family, and this battle is a real siege battle.

In order to survive, the defenders did work hard. Unfortunately, Pyongyang, which had just been breached by them, had not had time to repair some more fortifications, and the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were not of the same level as their cold weapons.

After the breach, Lee was left there.

The matter of killing those rebels was naturally left to him and those who had surrendered before.

In addition to leaving a 1,000-strong elite army to keep the grain routes between the north and south open with Pyongyang as the center, and to watch the generals and Li who had surrendered, Song Liangchen then rushed straight to Kaesong.

The Hwanghae-do between Gyeonggi-do and Pyongan-do was already well aware of the contrast in combat power in the north. In other words, the elite has long been mobilized to Gyeonggi Province to "defend Seoul".

Song Liangchen sighed: "Even if the officials appointed by the imperial court have entered the court, now they can't understand the language, and the two cities of Ping An and the Yellow Sea behind him are not easy to stabilize." Even if there are still hidden worries in Hamgyong Province, it is time to break through Seoul first, capture the culprit, and determine the overall situation. All the way! Just wait for the Marquis of Yangwu to arrive in Incheon, and go hand in hand! ”

"Dong Yingbo is still in Gyeongsang-do, right? If Yoon Won-hyung fled to Gangwon-do......"

Song Liangchen didn't care: "As long as the army enters Seoul, the big thing will be decided!" Next, it is nothing more than changing the flag and appeasing the place! Gong Shilang, the battle situation is handed over to me, you should return to Pyongyang to preside over the overall situation. Judgment of cases, agricultural affairs, civil affairs, it is best to let the Korean people of Ping'an and Huanghai praise the merits of the Ming Dynasty, so that the later things will be much easier. ”

Gong Yongqing also knew that the next thing was more important, and he was ready to return to Pyongyang with great anticipation.

Those who fought for the identity of officials of the above countries and envoys of the Ming Dynasty were not only the hearts of the people, but also the civil and military, gentry, and big families who were now in the northwest of North Korea.

It is almost entirely up to him to decide who will unite and serve as his own team to govern North Korea in the future, and who will be sacrificed to win the hearts and minds of the people.

Now, in Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, Yin Yuanheng has great fear and panic in his heart.

When things are going well, power will blind people like him who don't really have any real skills, thinking that everything is under control.

Daming's laissez-faire and reluctance to intervene in the Korean crown prince dispute for many years suddenly changed, and the speed of the reaction was beyond Yoon Yuanheng's expectations.

It's not a few months!

In such an era, which of the many major events is not measured in years?

Privately, he thought he had succeeded enough to stabilize the situation in a few months. Although there are more twists and turns in the middle that Yin Ren has been prepared for, since he has successfully eliminated them, the next thing is just to buy the inside, and then "play Ming and ask for sealing" to the country.

Could it be that Queen Wending is a false queen, and the new king is not the son of the old king?

In the past, when Yan Shanjun was there, Li Yi was "anyway", didn't he also have a lot of internal information, and it was really a coup d'état of the old school?

Now that the Ming army has arrived in Kaesong, Yin Yuanheng and Queen Wending are helpless.

"I have said it a long time ago, not only the prince of the king, but also the other concubines are hidden dangers!" Queen Wending hugged her young son, her face was a little distorted, "That little beast killed his brother, and dared to lead the Ming army to kill his brother and seize the throne!" ”

"It's all here!" Yin Yuanheng was very irritable, walking around the main hall, his eyes staring at the other courtiers with their heads bowed.

He knew that the danger was even greater in Seoul.

The army of the kingdom is like a bamboo, pressing the border, there is a prince to lead the way, with the banner of rebellion, these people know that most of them have been defeated, and will they take their lives as internal responses?

Yin Yuanheng's gaze seemed to be trying to distinguish the possible traitor among them.

"Don't think you can get out! The king has succeeded to the throne, and you have all bowed down! Yin Yuanheng roared out of shape, "What about the Ming army?" Just keep it ......"

He talked endlessly, but it was nothing more than some clichés about the lack of succession after the Ming army's labor expedition and the new king's succession to the throne.

In fact, he also knew that it was useless, but after all, he had been pointed out as the culprit in the text. If you can't win, you will be killed.

Surrender? How could Lee possibly accept it.

Desertion? So what is the purpose of such a deliberate effort?

Besides, if this breath is broken, can you escape? I'm afraid that many people in front of me will immediately turn against him, chase him over and arrest him as a vote.

"The news from the north has come over, and those foolish people are saying that Li is ready to sacrifice his land and become a minister before he asks the Ming to send troops! What do you say about destroying the powerful and dividing the land among the people, which of you can escape? Where is the orthodoxy of Jiangshan Sheji at a glance! How can such disloyal, unfilial and traitorous thieves win the hearts of the people? All the civil and military affairs, local clans, will definitely help Kuang to support orthodoxy, and the army of King Qin will come soon! Hold on for more than a month, and the battle situation will be very different! ”

He's trying his best to stabilize the situation, but he's right, and the news is really spreading.

Li walked with the Ming army, and originally the Korean clan only thought that he was borrowing the power of the Ming Dynasty to return to the country to fight for the throne.

However, when he was in Pyongyang, he began to "distinguish between loyalty and traitor" from Ping'an Road, and indeed with the help of the first batch of Ming officials, he had indeed done something to clear the land.

And those Korean people who fled to the Ming Dynasty before really listened to Gong Yongqing's promise, so they wholeheartedly helped the Ming army enter the DPRK and advance like a bamboo.

Now the clans of Ping'an Dao and Huanghai Dao have begun to regret it.

But does it work?

Akagi Bo Li Yuan was still very young, but he stayed by Li's side and just said with certainty: "Anton Gong rest assured, if it is not broken, it will not stand!" The officers and men of this special operations battalion under my command are all good hands. The true house of goodness, Anton Gong pointed out. As long as the people stand on Antongong's side, Ping'an Dao and Huanghai Dao will be combed once, and they will soon be able to settle down. ”

Lee looked at him with some trepidation.

This is the person who has changed the color of the Ping'an Dao clan now, although he has only been here for a few months, where does he need Li to point him to how many "great evil families"?

Da Ming seems to have known for a long time what famous big families in Ping'an Dao have committed some well-known evils, and the sufferers, crimes, and evidence of crimes have all been quickly found and taken out.

Thinking of the Ming merchants who flocked to Ping'an Road and Huanghai Road for so many years after the border trade was opened, Li knew even more that the Ming Dynasty was planning early.

He Li is just a banner, and it is the "Qingtian Lord" of the Ming Dynasty who really took action to avenge the grievances of some people here and destroy the great evil family and divide their fields.

Li knew that there would be more and more such Qingtian masters.

Now, there is a special banquet in the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Houxi said solemnly: "I have elected you, and I have high hopes!" Whether it is you, or the interpreter who has been trained by the Ministry of Rites and Communications for so many years, you must understand the intention of me to send you to aid the DPRK this time! If you can make meritorious contributions in North Korea, whether you stay there or return to Daming in the future, you can be reused! Let the North Korean people return to their hearts, let the North Koreans make the best use of their use, increase the output of mountains, forests and fields, and make the people rich and the country strong, and Yu Daming will also benefit for a thousand years. Only when you go to make decisions for the Korean people can you really educate the people there and become one in the future! ”

"The ministers will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!"

Zhu Houxi nodded, and then looked at the King of Liao: "I didn't hide anything from you, this is the great plan of the Ming Dynasty, and the descendants of the Zhu family must be attentive." If you go here with your heart, I will sacrifice to the temple and order my descendants: The King of Liao has this great merit, and he will never descend, and he will enjoy the glory of the lord of the country! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After these months, the two chosen vassal kings are also clear.

The reason why the prince was not chosen was because the other princes were still young, and because Korea, a place with a more basic foundation for Chinese education, would still aim to turn it into a solid land in the future. And the Shu king's line wants to go to the narrower Ryukyu, but it can exist as a vassal state for a long time.

The reward for the hard work of the King of Liao is that after this great achievement, there is no worry about degrading. Even if North Korea really only establishes one or several new provinces in the future, they will be able to live there and enjoy the glory of the country forever.

In any case, it is certainly more comfortable than just living in the palace in Beijing.

The premise is to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty and obey the Ming Dynasty's arrangement.

"Come, drink this cup full, and I will do it for you!"

Shen Lian stood up, held the wine glass and said loudly, "Your Majesty Xie!" ”

Having stayed in the imperial study, he knew even more how much the emperor attached importance to this attempt: Hu Zongxian and he were all arranged to leave the emperor's side in this major event.

In the past, there was no shortage of expeditions to the surrounding areas, but there has never been a time when they were more well-prepared and well-organized.

Originally, I was going to the goal of treating it as a solid land and treating it as the people of the Ming Dynasty, and a large number of translations prepared in advance, referring to the new laws formulated by the past laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and now there are so many young officials who have grown up in the new school era.

After being elected, during this time, he listened to the hadith in front of the emperor and listened to the emperor solemnly explain the principles and directions.

Now there is also this special feast and feat.

And the north of the Ming Dynasty, with the tragic situation after the war over there and the Ming Dynasty has decided to change the day for North Korea and implement a new system, the people of Hebei, Shandong, Xuanning, and Jiliao are now considering: Do you want to go over there to see, is there a chance?

"It should be like the Hetao, there is a lot of land to divide, right?"
