625 The strategy of abandoning the city of Korea shrinks The Ming army marched against Seoul

If you want to run away just after finishing the Jinshi, it will definitely not work. It's not okay to go back to teach, and it's even worse to go back and get married. Zhu Qiyu said that on the condition of presiding over the wedding in person, he forced Xu Guan to stay in the capital.

The emperor gave the lord a marriage, a great glory, where did Xu Guan dare to refuse, otherwise he didn't have to do it with the emperor, and when he went back, his parents and fiancΓ©e would have to strangle themselves to death together.

Cao Tai, Xu Guan, and Xie Xing were all left behind to be the editors of the Hanlin Academy and the scholars of the Chinese Academy.

At the end of the banquet, Zhu Qiyu, who had drunk a lot of wine, returned to the Qingliang Hall and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu hurried up again, took Zhu Wenfang, and went to convene the new science and technology to give a lecture.

The location was still chosen in the Shangsheng Immortal Palace, Zhu Qiyu stood on the high Wangxian platform, and behind him was the majestic jade statue of the Shangsheng Empress.

is still emphasizing his identity as the concubine of the Holy Queen, and it is still a test of obedience.

And this time they also brought the prince, and the new scholars need to kneel down to the Holy Empress, the Emperor, and the Prince in turn.

Whoever feels unconvinced can bring it up. Either be my protΓ©gΓ©, or get out of the house as soon as possible, so as to save both the monarch and the minister from wasting their feelings.

Fortunately, no one is willing to give up their hard-won fame, and no one stands up to raise the bar with the emperor.

After speaking, Zhu Qiyu took everyone around the large-scale Wanfang Garden in the Shangsheng Immortal Palace, and then set off to go home.

If the jinshi want to continue shopping, they will continue to shop, and if they are not willing to shop, they will go back to rest.

In addition to receiving new science and technology scholars, Shangsheng Immortal Palace Wanfang Garden is the largest amusement park in Beijing and is open to the people free of charge.

For the rest of the month, we will continue to feast on the new science and technology scholars. After the banquet, Zhu Qiyu will also pick some people he likes to meet in person.

On the ninth day of June, the military report on the Xuanzhou front arrived.

Zhu Qiyu carefully studied the military report, and was also a little confused: North Korea actually withdrew more than half of the army in Xuanzhou, and even the sailors ran away without a trace.

"This is the most confusing and inexplicable battle I have fought since I came to power. Nanhe Hou Fangying, who I sent to command the troops, and Jiang Yuan, the military squire of the governor's military affairs, stared at each other far from the main battlefield.

And the opponent can't organize the main army, 10,000 here, 10,000 there, scattered on multiple fronts, I look embarrassed and panicked for Shouyang Dajun.

I wanted to see through it, but little Japan was reluctant to go to war.

Hey, I'm so tired, I can't find an opponent, and I'm more tired than when I have an opponent.

Otherwise, I will be the king of Zhao Wuling. ”

Lin Xiangyu was anxious when she heard it next to her: "Xu Wenfang is only four years old, don't keep thinking about practicing him." Don't say anything, just work honestly. ”

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the couch and began to call: "This broken emperor, I really don't want to be it." I was looking for a chance to rest, and I felt so tired that I couldn't imagine how Taizu and Taizong survived. ”

Lin Xiangyu pulled Zhu Qiyu's arm: "Husband, the slave family asked you something, very serious." ”

"Concubine, please speak."

Zhu Qiyu was curious in his heart, what was worthy of his little concubine being so serious.

I only heard Lin Xiangyu ask weakly: "Husband, what if Xu Wenfang doesn't want to take a concubine in the future?" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened twice.

"According to the slave family's observation, this child is good-natured, delicate-minded, and emotional, and he may not be willing to be a fertility tool in the future, as you imagined."

Zhu Qiyu muttered in his heart: No, even a person as dedicated as Zhu Jianshen still has a group of concubines, does Zhu Wenfang want to learn from Zhu Youji, Ming Xiaozong?

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu joked: "Brother Fang doesn't want to be a fertility tool, so let me be it." I want to open the harem, recruit concubines, and strive to have dozens of princes. ”

Angry, Lin Xiangyu gently twisted Zhu Qiyu: "The husband is still in the mood to joke, the slave family is serious." ”

Zhu Qiyu hugged the beauty in his arms and patted it: "Seriously, how about love, I am very open-minded, Zhu Wenfang is really willing to be a couple for the rest of his life, I will not force him, but I have to look down on him."

I can't do it with deep affection, although I am very restrained, but I have played with fifteen women, and now there are ten showdowns, and there are still five left, and all my feelings are still divided into five. ”

Lin Xiangyu heard her husband's promise, and she was relieved.

Ning Xiang teased on the side: "Husband is fishing in troubled waters again, what do you mean that you have also played fifteen women, when you were the king of the servant, you also played more than a dozen, don't they count?" ”

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to take Ning Xiang into his arms: "You girl, why do you still eat these old vinegars." I really had a serious illness before the Civil Fort Incident, and I don't remember anything about it before.

Then, when I awoke from my coma, I avoided the women of the palace like snakes and scorpions, and never touched half a finger of them. ”

"Really?"

"Really, think about it, I didn't have the right to decide my own woman back then, and all the up and down of the Yuwang Mansion were arranged by the Sun family and Zhaomen'er.

I can't wait to cut those women who eat inside and outside with a thousand knives, where can I take care of half of the love between men and women. ”

Ning Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "This is true, unlike us, we can die for our husband." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu looked around at the concubines.

Linglong was the first to laugh and say nothing, and Qianxue and Suxi shook their heads after him: "If the husband is dead, we will definitely be widowed for the husband." ”

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "The concubines are real, and they are not fraudulent at all." ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "If the husband is dead, there is a slave family and Ning Xiang to accompany him, and he can enjoy the blessings of Qi people left and right, so let the three of them stay and watch the house." ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "It's enough to have your words, if I die, you all live well." People die like lights going out, what are you going to do? ”

Ning Xiang smiled: "Then why don't we have fun in time?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, let's see how I fight five with one." ”

The five concubines knelt in a row, and were just about to defend, but they saw Zhu Qiyu fall on the soft couch and lay flat: "The widow is tired, you can move by yourself." ”

……

In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

On June 21, the Ming army had conquered Xuanzhou, and the Korean defenders retreated all the way south to Kaesong.

The North Korean army attacking Hamgyong Province also withdrew to Kaesong as if it had made an appointment.

The Ming army in the direction of Xuanzhou actually didn't want to fight, but the imperial court had no choice but to send follow-up reinforcements and transport the heavy artillery. The Ming army bombarded Xuanzhou City with artillery, and the Korean army, which also had no intention of fighting, chose to abandon the city and retreat.

Kaesong is an important military town, but also a barrier to defend Seoul, its city defense is strong, grain and grass are abundant, far from Xuanzhou comparable.

The North Koreans gathered 50,000 troops at Kaesong and prepared for a protracted defensive battle.

Due to the Korean strategy from offensive to defensive, Jiang Yuan and Fang Ying's 10,000 cavalry were finally released, and the two commanded the army to move to Pyongyang and join the Ming army in the direction of Xuanfu.

Fang Ying's army of 30,000 finally regrouped, and now he had confidence.

Jiang Yuan was also greatly cheered up, and asked Fang Ying: "Namwa Hou, I heard that the Grand Monarch of Geumseong and Anpyeong of North Korea came to a second martyrdom, occupied Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province, and confronted the Seoyang Grand Monarch of Seoul.

There was also constant turmoil in Seoul, and the blood of the Lord of Shouyang was about to be killed.

Let's take advantage of the chaos to attack Seoul and make a contribution in one fell swoop. ”

Fang Ying shook her head: "This is a trap, Seoul is not fragile to this extent. Once we lightly attack the enemy, the Seoul Army and the Kaesong Army will be flanked in front and back, and it will be another total annihilation.

Last time, 30,000 Liaodong troops had already been lost, and if another 30,000 Beijing troops were lost, there should be large-scale anti-war voices from the government and the opposition.

There is a huge pressure on the Holy Lord, and if you can't figure it out, you will really withdraw the troops and negotiate peace.

When the time comes, we will go back to Beijing in disgrace, and I will definitely not want to ask for the title of Marquis of Nanhe anymore, what is the meaning of you, the squire of the military department.

I have to say that this Shouyang Dajun Li Yao is really a heroic figure. ”

Jiang Yuan asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Fang Ying replied: "The saint said, don't ask for merit, but ask for no fault." It is necessary to keep the Beijing army from losses, and as for Seoul, it can be fought slowly and without hurry.

Let Li Chengyu and the Jurchens rush up first, let's watch from behind, this is called driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, borrowing a knife to kill people, and sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. ”

Jiang Yuan quietly glanced at Fang Ying, I don't know if I sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, I don't know if I drive the tiger and devour the wolf, borrow a knife to kill people, and use you to teach me. It's just that the soldiers are fast, and if they are late, they will change, if they continue to fight like this, what if Li Chengyu is quickly defeated, what if the prince of Yiyang invites foreign aid.

Fang Ying hadn't considered the issue of Japan's entry into the war, but Jiang Yuan did.
