Chapter 590 Goryeo Rebellion
"Your Majesty!" Zheng Zhichang shouted hoarsely, his whole body soaked by the heavy rain, "Severing ties with the Song Dynasty and colluding with the Jin Kingdom is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!"
"Your Majesty!" Bai Shouhan, the Minister of Rites, was also with Zheng Zhichang. "Your Majesty, please return the goods of the Song Dynasty immediately and write a letter of apology to the emperor! Otherwise, it will lead to disaster!"
The door of the main hall was closed, and candlelight flickered inside.
King Wang Kai of Goryeo was sitting on the throne, with Privy Councilor Kim Bo-seok beside him.
Jin Fushi said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Xijing that Miaoqing is plotting a rebellion! And the Jin envoy has also made his attitude clear. If Your Majesty does not accept the Jin envoy's proposal, the Jin army will immediately go south and attack the royal city!"
Wang Kai looked pale, with cold sweat on his forehead and heavy dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he had not slept well for a long time.
He looked at Jin Fushi and said helplessly: "Does it have to be like this?"
Jin Fushi said: "The Song Dynasty is separated from us by the sea, but the Jin State borders us. If we offend the Song State, the Song State will not do anything to us, but if we offend the Jin State, the Jin Army's iron weapons will attack at any time.
us!"
His tone was very solemn.
Wang Kai said unwillingly: "But the Song Dynasty promised to have comprehensive trade with us. This is an opportunity to make money, so we just don't want it?"
"Is money more important, or life?" Jin Fushi asked, "Besides, the Kingdom of Jin also agreed to trade with us!"
At this time, the door of the main hall was opened, and Gao Qingyi, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, walked in.
Gao Qingyi looked cold, and he was followed by several Jin warriors.
"Master, what are you thinking about?" Gao Qingyi asked with a smile, "Should we go to war or negotiate peace?"
Wang Kai continued to remain silent.
"Are we going to start a war or negotiate a peace?" Gao Qingyi's voice increased, echoing in the hall like a tiger roaring.
"Jin Envoy, please don't be angry." Jin Fushi said quickly.
"I have been giving it to you for a while, and I still cannot give a clear answer. You have worn down my patience. I will go back and report the truth to the king (Wanyan Zonghan), and wait for the arrival of my golden iron hoof!"
As soon as Gao Qingyi finished speaking, Wang Kai finally shouted feebly: "I am willing to surrender to the Kingdom of Jin and completely cut off all contacts with the Kingdom of Song!"
"good!"
Not long after, Jin Fusi came out of the main hall, followed by a group of the forbidden troops of the King of Korea.
They dragged Zheng Zhichang, Bai Shouhan, Jin An and others who were kneeling outside the palace to the outside of the palace.
Zheng Zhichang said angrily: "Jin Fushi, you are harming the country!"
Jin Fushi smiled with a cold look on his face: "Zheng Zhichang, don't think that I don't know your true intentions. You just want the king to move to Xijing to satisfy the fantasy of the wealthy families in Xijing. Making friends with the Song Dynasty is just a cover for you.
!”
"Old thief Jin!"
At this moment, shouts came.
Zheng Zhichang and others looked through the firelight and saw that the person brought over turned out to be Liu Zhu, the envoy of the Song Dynasty.
Liu Zhu scolded: "What are you going to do!"
"Bring the people up!" Jin Fushi yelled.
Liu Zhu was brought up.
"You are brave! I am a messenger from heaven, and you dare to treat me like this!"
"Messenger of the Celestial Dynasty?" Jin Fushi sneered, "Cut him down!"
"You dare!" Liu Zhu said angrily, "I represent the emperor. If you dare to touch me, it is an offense to the emperor!"
One of the Imperial Guards pulled out his sword and was about to take action. Liu Zhu said, "If I die today, the imperial master will come from the east and crush your small country!"
The Imperial Guard chopped off Liu Zhu's head with a knife, and blood sprayed on Zheng Zhichang's face.
Zheng Zhichang was stunned. He roared angrily: "Jin Fushi, you are going to force me, Goryeo, to subjugate the country! You are an unforgivable traitor!"
"Someone, send Zheng Shangshu on his way!"
After saying that, a group of imperial guards surrounded them and beheaded Zheng Zhichang, Bai Shouhan, and Jin An. Their heads fell into the puddles, and their blood stained the floor red.
Subsequently, Jin Fushi led his people and began to purge Zheng Zhichang's people in Kaijing.
That night, one-third of the officials in Beijing were killed and their homes were ransacked.
Goryeo completed a change of power as quickly as possible.
The power structure of Goryeo was left over from the early days of the founding of the country. The wealthy and prominent families were mainly divided into two groups.
One group is the aristocrats of Kaijing, and the other is the aristocrats of Xijing.
Jin Fushi was a member of the Beijing-opening faction, and their political position in this era was to be pro-Jin and Yuan-Song.
And Zheng Zhichang was from the Xijing sect, and the monk Miaoqing he was talking about was also from the Xijing sect, and the Miaoqing people were in Xijing.
The Xijing faction advocated conquering the Jin Dynasty and favoring the Song Dynasty.
This is a struggle between two forces.
With the strong military pressure from the Jin Kingdom, Wang Kai made an extreme choice to eliminate the pro-Song Xijing faction.
May 18th, Duli City, Goryeo Military Camp.
Kim Jun-eun was the supreme commander of the Goryeo Army.
He summoned all the officers from Goryeo and said straight to the point: "The imperial court has an order, please be mentally prepared!"
"What order?"
"The Song army attacked Duli City secretly and captured Duli City!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Li Rongzai said: "Why do we suddenly attack the Song Army? Aren't we friends with the Song Army?"
"Are you going to disobey the imperial court's order?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Jin Junen said: "Your parents and children are all in Beijing, don't forget."
"How to do it exactly?"
"Let's start tomorrow!" Jin Junen said, "Now go back and rectify your manpower and don't leak the secret!"
"We may not be Song Jun's opponents!"
"We have ten thousand people near the capital, and the Song army only has a few thousand!"
"But not all of our people are warriors."
"When we launch a surprise attack, the Song Army may not be able to respond in time. Just capture the capital! We have helped the Song Army a lot, and their defenses against us have gradually relaxed!"
On May 19, a beautiful and sunny day, the Korean soldiers stationed outside Duli City suddenly launched an attack on the merchants of Duli City.
They killed all the merchants they saw.
At the same time, he quickly rushed towards the gate of Duli City.
With no warning at all, some Goryeo soldiers rushed into the city and began burning, killing and looting.
"It's bad!" The messenger hurried to the Military and Political Department, "The Koreans suddenly attacked us and killed many of them, and some of them rushed into the city!"
When Zhang Qing heard this, he jumped up in excitement. Everyone present thought they had heard wrongly.
The Korean people have been cooperating with the Song army in mobilizing material resources for more than a year.
A lot of food in Duli City and Fuzhou was shipped from Goryeo.
The relationship between the two parties was once very harmonious.
Zhang Qing did not expect Gao Li to suddenly attack at this moment.
"really?"
"Absolutely true!"
There were faint screams outside.
Zhang Qing immediately said: "Jie Yuan!"
"The end is here!"
"You quickly lead five hundred people to Prince Qi's Mansion, and be sure to protect Prince Qi! Anyone who dares to come even half a step closer to Prince Qi's Mansion will be shot to death!"
"The general will obey your orders!"
"The rest of the people will follow me out quickly. If they see Koreans, they will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
There are five thousand Song troops left in Duli City, which is a considerable fighting force.
But the Koreans made the first move. Now the Song Army is facing a huge challenge. The time has come to test the Song Army's temporary mobilization capabilities.
If Duli City was suddenly captured by the Koreans, Han Shizhong in Fuzhou would face the risk of having his logistics cut off.
Chapter completed!
