Two days later, the Ming army began to attack the city.
The Ming army's artillery position occupied the Triangle Mountain on the west side of Seoul, and trebuchets, artillery and other objects began to fire at Seoul all the time.
The capital of Goryeo, which Li had worked so hard to manage, was suddenly shrouded in smoke and explosions. In order to resist the Ming army, Li Chenggui mobilized almost all the men in the city, and a bloody battle seemed about to break out. In addition to projectiles, the Ming army also used trebuchets and bows.
The crossbow was thrown into the city, and the Ming Dynasty conquered the Li family's rebels.
The content is just a rehash of old tunes, telling the Goryeo soldiers and civilians that the conqueror of the Ming Dynasty was the Li family. It has nothing to do with ordinary Goryeo people. The Li family usurped the throne and established itself, and was angry and resentful. I hope the Goryeo soldiers and civilians will not become the scapegoats of the Li family.
Don't underestimate these things. Perhaps at some point, these things will shake the determination of the Goryeo soldiers and civilians guarding the city.
In the Gyeongbokgung Palace of the Goryeo Palace, Li Chenggui shouted killing sounds under the artillery fire of the Ming army and summoned the ministers again.
In just a few months, the King of Korea seemed to have aged twenty years. His temples were covered with white hair, and his face was haggard and haggard. He seemed to have lost all his energy and fighting spirit. He was able to stand up with the help of several chamberlains.
.
"The army of the Ming Dynasty is outside, and Goryeo is as dangerous as a goose egg!" Li Chenggui's voice was also extremely weak, and he was out of breath when he spoke. "The country is about to fall, what should we do?" As he spoke, his turbid eyes were filled with tears.
A few old tears.
I think that Li Chenggui was born in a family of ten thousand hereditary families in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. He was appreciated by the King of Goryeo for his bravery and repeatedly fought against Japanese pirates and quelled rebellions for Goryeo.
At the end of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the original Red Turban West Route Army first broke through the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and then fled to Liaodong, almost destroying Goryeo. At that time, it was Li Chenggui who stood up and joined forces with the Yuan army to defeat the army led by Mr. Yuan Guan.
It was the red scarf thief who turned the tide and saved Goryeo.
His illustrious martial arts gave him great popularity and power in Goryeo, allowing him to eventually replace him as the King of Goryeo.

He can be called a hero of his generation.
But now, this hero is at his end.
In front of Seoul is the army of the Ming Emperor Taisun, and behind it is intercepted by the Ming Navy. They are surrounded on all sides, making it impossible to escape.
"Your Majesty!" Goryeo Minister Jung Do-jeon said slowly, "It's better to surrender! Seoul cannot be defended!"
"We must defend even if we can't! There are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city. We have a geographical advantage and the Ming Dynasty will not be able to break the city so easily!" Li Chenggui's second son Li Fanguo shouted.
"Shut up!" Li Chenggui scolded his son, and then looked at the ministers, "I know I can't hold on. I have already sent an envoy to the Ming army to ask for surrender, but the Ming people's condition is that I leave the city shirtless.
Kneel down and ask for surrender!”
As he spoke, his turbid eyes swam around, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "The emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty outside not only wants to destroy my Li family, but also wants to kill my Li family! If I leave the city, you won't
I can’t imagine what the outcome will be!”
"They will be sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, tied up like livestock, and used as a gift for the Ming Emperor to show off to the heavens."
The ministers were silent. From the beginning of the war, they knew that the Ming Dynasty wanted to give Goryeo a new master, an obedient master. Until now, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had never really recognized the legitimacy of the Li family. Although the emperor gave the country the name
, but there is no royal title, seal and canonization edict.
"Your Majesty!" Ji Congliang, another minister of Goryeo, said, "Actually, I think that Your Majesty does not need to be so worried! After all, the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. If the King surrenders, the Ming Dynasty will definitely settle the royal family properly. I heard
, the Ming Dynasty captured many of the Yuan royal family, and not only did they not kill them, but they were also promised generous salaries with titles."
"Now that the matter has come to this, this is the best choice! It is said that there is an army of 500,000 people. Even if they cannot attack it now, there are still countless 500,000 troops in the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, how many people are there in Seoul who can fight? If we continue alone, we are afraid that not only will the country of Goryeo be destroyed, but also the entire species will be exterminated!"
"Besides, Hancheng is now an isolated city, and the soldiers in the city are depressed! I have to put it bluntly, sir. If there are soldiers in the city who are tired of war, if they open the city gate privately, or rebel and arrest the king, please go and ask the Ming Dynasty for merit.
At that time, there will be no hope for you, because you are their prisoner of war!"
"Your Majesty, surrender! Only in this way will you have the opportunity to be treated favorably, and Korea will have hope!"
Li Chenggui was silent, looked at the ministers for a long time, and said indifferently, "To be honest, I have no idea in my mind now. If I don't surrender, I know the consequences. But if I surrender, I am also afraid! So, please help me, dear friends."
Set it down." He pointed weakly and spoke again, "Those who want to surrender stand on the left, and those who don't surrender stand on the right. There are many people over there, so I will listen to whoever wants to!"
After saying that, he covered his mouth and coughed violently.
After the Goryeo officials looked at each other for a few times, they began to line up under the leadership of Zheng Daozhuan and Ji Congliang. Almost all the officials stood on the left, and only some generals loyal to the Li family stood on the right.
"It seems that there are still many people surrendering!" Li Chenggui sighed, slowly loosened his hand, and a bloody handkerchief fell to the ground.
The blood was so bright red, but at this moment, Li Chenggui's cloudy eyes became extraordinarily bright, and all the weakness around him faded away.
He stared at the courtiers who were about to surrender like a tiger, his face full of ridicule and cruelty, and a bit ferocious.
How could a generation of heroes be so weak?
How could a generation of heroes surrender without a fight?
The reason why he pretended to be weak was just to discern the loyalty of his ministers.
"That day in the palace, Lord Jing'an was right!" Li Chenggui slowly took out a box from under the throne, squinted his eyes and said, "You guys, as long as you change the master, you will still be the same officials. You guys
You can surrender, but my Li family cannot surrender!"
"Your Majesty.........Ah!"
The ministers exclaimed in surprise. Li Chenggui opened the box, and Li Fangyuan's dead head rolled out.
"Korea belongs to the Li family. Since you are not willing to live and die with the Li family, what's the use of keeping you here?" A scary sneer appeared on Li Chenggui's face.
The moment the words fell, countless sword-wielding soldiers came in from outside, surrounded the officials who advocated surrender, and chopped their heads off.
The splendid palace instantly turned into a Shura field. Yin Hong's blood and broken limbs were flying messily in his sight.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Screaming, Li Chenggui laughed crazily.
Then he stood up holding the jade belt with both hands and shouted hysterically, "Since I came to the throne, I have pursued great policies and regarded Ming Dynasty as my superior country. I am humble and humble for fear of being disrespectful to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. What can I get in exchange?"
"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty called me a usurper more than once, and issued an edict to reprimand him more than once!"
"I swallowed my humiliation and endured humiliation, but what did I get in exchange? What I got in exchange was the Ming army, who wanted to destroy Goryeo and destroy my ambition!"
The screams stopped, blood flowed into the palace, and corpses littered the ground.
Li Chenggui looked at the corpses and said indifferently, "If you don't let us live, let's die together! Hancheng will definitely become the tomb of the people of the Ming Dynasty!" As he said, he pointed to the corpses of ministers on the ground, "The property of these people has been confiscated.
All the wives and daughters of the family were sent to the city wall to reward the soldiers and civilians guarding the city for their enjoyment!"
"Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man who will open the treasury and tell the soldiers and people of the city to kill a Ming army and be rewarded with a piece of cloth and five taels of silver!"
With crazy shouts, Li Chenggui hung the sword on his jade belt.
"I am the only one in Korea!"
"If the Ming Dynasty wants to destroy the widows, it means destroying Korea! If defeated, there will be no Koreans and no Korean species in the world!"
Li Chenggui faced the palace, and the loyal ministers roared, "You gentlemen, follow me and fight to the death!"
