Chapter 765 North Korea (2) North Korea is destroyed
In August of the 25th year of Chongzhen (1652), Zhu Cizheng reluctantly followed Shi Lang to Jianghua Island.
By this time, the 1st Division led by Xu Yingwei had already occupied Seoul and nearby areas, but without the cooperation of the navy, it was unable to fight on the island against the obstruction of the North Korean navy.
It is precisely because of this that the Korean monarchs and ministers such as Li Xiang, Lin Qingye and others were able to survive.
But with the arrival of the Ming Dynasty naval squadron led by Shi Lang, the good days of North Korea's monarchs and ministers came to an end.
Facing the cruisers of the Ming Navy, the "turtle ships" that once showed their prowess in the Imjin Japanese Rebellion were simply vulnerable. The Ming Navy's naval guns could destroy one with one shot.
After hundreds of turtle ships were sunk, the North Korean navy had no choice but to surrender.
Immediately, the main force of the 1st Brigade of the Ming Army landed on Ganghwa Island with the cooperation of the navy.
Li had no choice but to take Lin Qingye, Cui Xiaoyi and other ministers to kneel down and beg for surrender.
Therefore, this trip to North Korea was unexpectedly easy. Zhu Cijiong did not even have to go to the battlefield in person, and the country-destroying war was over.
"The guilty minister, Li??, comes to see His Highness King Yong."
Li?? pouted and held the seal of the King of Korea high with both hands.
This great seal was given by the Great Ancestor, and even the country name North Korea was given by the Great Ancestor himself.
Xu Yingwei and Shi Lang's eyes turned to Zhu Cizheng in unison. They both knew why Chongzhen wanted Zhu Cizheng to come to North Korea. It was just to train King Yong.
Among them is how to deal with North Korean monarchs and ministers.
From this moment on, thousands of North Korean monarchs and ministers, including hundreds of thousands of people who fled to Ganghwa Island, became meat on the chopping board, left to the full authority of Yongwang Zhu Cijiang.
Feeling the gazes of Xu Yingwei and the two men, Zhu Cizheng was stunned: "Look at what I do."
Xu Yingwei replied: "The Holy One said in the letter that it is up to His Highness to decide how to deal with the monarchs and ministers of North Korea."
"Ah?" Zhu Cizheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said blankly, "Father, do you want me to have full power?"
"Yes, the kings and ministers of North Korea and even the hundreds of thousands of people on the island are all handled by His Highness." Xu Yingwei nodded, "His Highness can kill them with just one word, and let them live with just one word. Life and death are all within the reach of His Highness.
.”
Zhu Cizheng then whispered in a negotiating tone: "Then why don't we all... kill them all?"
Xu Yingwei nodded happily and immediately waved his hand and said: "King Yong has an order to execute the kings and ministers of North Korea on the spot."
The Ming soldiers who were guarding the Korean monarchs and ministers immediately picked up the Korean monarchs and ministers like chickens.
Li??'s face turned pale with fright, and his whole body was shaking. But Cui Xiaoyi, who was kneeling behind him, suddenly jumped up, pointed at Zhu Ci?? and started yelling curses.
“In big things and small things, be kind.”
"We in North Korea have always regarded the Ming Dynasty as our suzerain country, and we have never exceeded the rule even a little bit."
"But your country is so reckless in killing people, slaughtering our Korean monarchs and ministers like slaughtering chickens and dogs, how can you have any mercy? Your country is so perverse, and sooner or later it will be punished by God, and it will be punished by God!"
Hearing this, Xu Yingwei said angrily: "You have never exceeded the rules? Don't you feel guilty for saying this? Since the founding of Korea, my great ancestor, Emperor Gao, first gave the country a title, and then listed Korea as a country.
A country without conquests. During the two Japanese rebellions, our country, Korea, overcame various difficulties and sent troops to support you to help your country eliminate the danger of annihilation. After Bingzi's chaos, your country became a slave-owning country. It was our Ming Dynasty that rescued you.
Kingdom, His Highness King Ding personally led 3,000 tiger warriors to fight against the Jiannu cavalry in Seoul. A thousand heroes of our Ming Dynasty are still sleeping in Seoul, but how did you repay our Ming Dynasty?"
"Then it's not all because of you." Cui Xiaoyi said angrily, "If your country hadn't been demanding too much and repeatedly kidnapped my population, why would our country have taken such a trick?"
"Fart, is that robbing people?" Xu Yingwei said angrily.
"That's to work and earn wages. Ming Dynasty paid them wages. Aren't all the expenses of North Korea paid by Ming Dynasty?"
"That's also robbery, just robbery." Cui Xiaoyi was also angry.
"Because you have not consulted our country at all, and if it is just for simple work, just let the men from our country go. Why did you force so many women to go to the Ming Dynasty?"
"It's just a matter of forcibly recruiting so many women, and they are still women of childbearing age."
"It's enough to forcefully recruit so many women of childbearing age, but after they went to the Ming Dynasty, they never wanted to come back. In the end, they all became the wives and concubines of the people of the Ming Dynasty. This is robbery in your country."
"Fart, it was all of their own free will, how can it be robbery." Xu Yingwei said, "The Holy One once said that everyone in this world has the right to pursue a happy life, including you North Korean women who want to marry
The men of the Ming Dynasty are willing to be concubines even if they are just concubines. That is their freedom. What power do you have to stop it?"
"Shameless, you are trying to change your species, you are trying to destroy our species in Korea!" There are still visionary and insightful ministers in Korea, who can see through Chongzhen's intention at a glance, "All the women who can give birth to children have gone.
If you marry a man from the Ming Dynasty, who will give birth to the children of our North Korean men? In a few decades, won’t our North Koreans be exterminated?”
"Nonsense." Xu Yingwei retorted, "North Korean men who went to the Ming Dynasty also have the rights of the people of the Ming Dynasty. They can also marry women of the Ming Dynasty. How can they be exterminated?"
"Yes, North Korean men who went to the Ming Dynasty can marry women from the Ming Dynasty, but from now on they will only speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin and write in Chinese characters, and their children will only consider themselves Ming Dynasty people." Cui
Koichi said sadly, "A hundred years from now, won't our Korean language and Korean heritage be extinct?"
Seeing that the quarrel between Xu Yingwei and the Korean monarchs and ministers became more and more fierce, Zhu Cizheng felt a headache. What he was most afraid of was trouble. Seeing the fierce reaction of the Korean monarchs and ministers, he immediately changed his mind.
"General Xu, why don't we just kill them and spare their lives?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After a short pause, Zhu Cizheng whispered again: "After all, the Seoul mutiny did not cause much damage. Although the Seoul business houses suffered some losses, they were not big.
There were no casualties among the Ming army officers."
Xu Yingwei had no objection to this: "I will obey the instructions of His Highness King Yong."
"Okay, then spare their lives." Zhu Cizheng said, "Don't kill them."
"Yes, then we won't kill him." Xu Yingwei asked again, "King Yong, North Korean monarchs and ministers can be exempted from death penalty, but they cannot escape from living crime. If they do something wrong, they must be punished. What do you think of the punishment? And the people on the island.
How to deal with it?"
Zhu Cizheng thought for a while and asked tentatively: "How about sending them to Japan as long-term workers?"
Xu Yingwei immediately shouted: "King Yong has an order, North Korea is ungrateful, repays kindness with revenge, and raises troops to cause chaos without authorization. The country's name of North Korea is immediately cut off, the country of North Korea is eliminated, and it is included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The deposed king of North Korea, Li?
Go to Japan as a slave, and you will never be able to leave Japan. There are more than 500,000 Korean people who follow the deposed King Li?
slave."
…
About half a month later, at the foot of Qingliang Mountain.
Chongzhen and the people from the firearms department were all preparing to test the gun with Zhang Jimeng.
What will be tested this time is no longer a rifle, but a heavy machine gun and a multi-barreled heavy machine gun.
After solving the primer technology, it became possible to load fixed-loading metal cartridges. With fixed-loading metal bullets, breech-loading guns became possible. With breech-loading guns, heavy machine guns became possible.
Of course, what was built this time was the most original hand-operated multi-barreled heavy machine gun.
You have to eat the food one bite at a time, and walk the road step by step. It is difficult to directly mount the Maxim heavy machine gun.
What's more, even a hand-operated multi-barreled heavy machine gun is enough to crush the enemies of this era.
Zhang Jiheri fixed the first hand-operated multi-barreled heavy machine gun, and when he was about to ask Chongzhen for instructions, Shi Tianfu, commander of the Navy's Third Fleet, had already walked in quickly.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to say one more thing.
After returning from Japan, Chongzhen made adjustments to the navy.
The Ming navy, which was originally mixed together, was divided into four combat fleets by Chongzhen.
The four combat fleets each have nine Zhou Yu-class cruisers. The commander of the first fleet is Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the second fleet is Zheng Hongkui, the commander of the third fleet is Shi Tianfu, Shi Lang's uncle, and the commander of the fourth fleet is Shi Tianfu.
The commander is currently vacant and is currently replaced by Zheng Zhilong, but there will definitely be another candidate in the future.
After listening to the report, Chongzhen said with a smile: "Li?? and the Korean subjects on Ganghwa Island were all sent to Japan?"
Zhu Cizheng would do this, which was a bit beyond Chongzhen's expectation. He originally thought that this kid would be undecided, and finally kicked the ball back to his feet.
In fact, no matter what decision Zhu Cizheng made, Chongzhen would not care.
What Chongzhen wanted to see was that Zhu Cizheng could have his own opinions. No matter whether he was right or wrong, as a king, he must have his own opinions on how to deal with problems and firmly implement them.
Most things in this world are like this. There is no clear right or wrong. Everything has pros and cons. If there is a good side, there must be a bad side. As long as you really make up your mind to do it.
, then no matter what strategy is adopted, there is a high probability that the goal can be achieved in the end, which means that different paths lead to the same goal.
In this regard, the Crown Prince and Prince Ding had no problem at all, but Zhu Cizheng obviously lacked training.
However, after this trip to North Korea, Chongzhen believed that Zhu Cizhen would definitely be touched in his heart. Thinking of this, Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh. He had really broken his old father's heart.
At that moment, Chongzhen waved to seven-year-old Zhu Hecheng to come to him.
"Xi'er, come to Grandpa Huang." Chongzhen motioned to Zhang Jimeng to start.
Zhang Jimeng immediately started to shake the handle, and the next moment, the multi-barreled heavy machine gun fixed on the gun frame roared loudly. Along with the roars, dense bullets rained down.
