Chapter 191 A Bowl at the Beginning and a Rope at the End
Chapter 195 Rebellion! Mutiny!
The Li Dynasty garrison along the coast of Kae Kyung was still on duty late at night. Kae Kyung was close to the sea, and the garrison here was also an elite force, because once it was lost, the North Korean capital would be locked by the neck, and the entire kingdom would be in chaos.
Sergeant Li Chao, who was in charge of the investigation, looked into the distance. It was peaceful and peaceful, and the silver ocean was swaying under the starlight, without any ripples.
When he was about to report it to his superiors, he suddenly discovered that an unusual black line appeared on the sea and was gradually approaching the coast.
As the black line got closer and closer, the sergeant's forehead was dripping with sweat.
Those were clearly seventy-two Ming warships, large in scale and well-organized!
This is the earliest large-scale voyage fleet established in the world, and it is also an unprecedented maritime task force!
Different ships have different purposes. Some are used to carry cargo, some are used to transport grain, some are used for combat, and some are used for residence. They have a detailed division of labor. Although their purposes are different, when they are organized together, they have no difference.
There is no doubt that this is a nation-destroying fleet.
On the sea, this Ming Navy is as intimidating as a fierce storm!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
If they were really a harmonious family, even if Jin Yiwei had great ability, he would not be able to force Li Bao to rebel in such a short period of time.
Li Fangyuan rushed out of the secret passage in embarrassment and pushed open the door of the secret passage. What he saw was a secluded and uninhabited deep mountain forest. No one would have thought that there was a passage in this forest that could lead directly to the palace!
"Kings."
"Actually, I am a royal guard. Your Majesty, isn't this an important matter?"
The founder of the Joseon Dynasty, Li Chenggui, started his career by rebelling. His son Li Bangyuan took away his throne by rebelling. Now his grandson Li Bao also wants to rebel and take away Li Fangyuan's throne. It sounds very reasonable.
King Li Fangyuan of Joseon suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that the soldier officer was holding a short dagger and stabbed into his heart. His chest was stained red with blood.
Li Fangyuan, you’re such a beast, who the hell stopped you? Is it air?
You didn't even have time to put on any shoes, so you ran so fast with bare feet, and shamelessly shouted that you wanted to fight the rebels till the end?
…
To put it simply, Zheng He's navy locked Li Chao from behind, preventing Li Chao from moving, and the Liaodong Army was like a sharp sword, piercing Li Chao's heart.
"knew."
However, how can the Min clan be willing to be treated as fat on the chopping board? Since you, Li Fangyuan, can't tolerate us, then let's find a king who can tolerate us!
Although this official is not of high rank, he can allow Li Fangyuan to contact most of the troops in Gyeonggi Province in the shortest possible time. Once the palace falls, the guard commander is responsible for holding back the enemy, while Li Fangyuan takes the opportunity to escape and summon the soldiers through the military officer.
The army retakes the palace!
The Bingcao official was also regarded as a confidant by the North Korean King Li Fangyuan.
Guard commander: "..."
Li Fangyuan himself won the throne by rebellion, so he was more afraid of the rebellion of his subordinates than anyone else. After he came to power, he has been weakening everyone's military power and reforming the military system.
Even the great king of Zhongning, Li Chen, did not escape the disaster.
"A large number of enemy troops appear on the sea and are approaching quickly!"
"Rebellion, all rebellion. Li Zhuo, a treacherous son, thanks to me, made him the crown prince. Is this how he repays me?" Li Fangyuan was furious and incompetent. He seemed to have forgotten that when he made Li Zhen the crown prince, he only regarded his son as a tool for him to control power.
Roaring and roaring, Li Fangyuan ran towards the secret passage at the back of the palace without even wearing shoes, shouting forcefully as he ran:
"General, don't stop me. I will fight to the end with that treacherous son Li Bao!"
King Li Fangyuan of North Korea was furious, "Don't you know how much that bastard Li Zhuo has? How many people does he have under his command? How dare he plot rebellion!"
When the time comes, let that treacherous son Li Bao confess his crimes in hell!
"Your Majesty, it's entirely possible!" the guard commander reminded, "This time it's not just the troops loyal to Prince Wang, but also the troops of the Min clan!"
"If the enemy's defense line is not controlled within two hours, everyone, including me, will beg Prince Qi to die!"
Zheng He stood up and solemnly ordered, "The formation of the naval division remains unchanged. The ship's cannons are aimed at the enemy's main line of defense. Don't be stingy and pour out artillery fire!"
…
There are only three people who know this secret passage, one is Li Fangyuan himself, the other is the commander of the inner guard, and the last person is an ordinary official of the Bingcao.
The person who came was none other than the Bingcao official who knew the secret way.
Li Fangyuan became angry when he thought about it, forgetting even his doubts for the time being: "Li Zhuo, this bastard traitor, actually united with the Min family to plot rebellion. He will definitely die a hard death when we take back the palace. Forget it, let's not mention this for now.
You quickly contact all the troops in Gyeonggi Province, return to King Qin, and follow the others to suppress the rebellion!"
On land and water, Zheng He personally led the navy, cut off the connection between Kaijing and Seoul, and launched a rapid attack on the coastal areas. If nothing happens, they will control the Li Dynasty's capital in two hours.
.
The commander of the guards rushed in and shouted desperately: "Your Majesty! The crown prince Li Bao has conspired to rebel and led his troops into the palace. The palace's internal imperial army can hardly stop him!"
In the end, the internal fighting between the Korean king and his family, fueled by Jin Yiwei, led to today's rebellion.
On land, the elite troops of Liaodong had smashed the Li Dynasty's gate in Mount Paektu, and were unstoppable within the Li Dynasty's territory, driving straight in.
Li Fangyuan ran along the secret passage. This secret passage was built secretly by craftsmen after he became the king of Joseon. This secret passage led him all the way to the outside of the palace.
"Why are you here?" Li Fangyuan frowned slightly.
Li Fangyuan frowned slightly: "What is it? Please tell me quickly."
"What... kimchi..."
If the Ming Dynasty's most powerful navy cannot control North Korea's coastal positions within two hours, it can only mean one thing - all naval officers, including Zheng He, have left their heads at home.
.
After the construction of the secret tunnel was completed, all those involved in the construction, including the craftsmen who drew the blueprints, were secretly executed to ensure safety.
His suspicion has returned, but this is indeed a bit strange. This person is not sleeping in the middle of the night, and is waiting at the exit of this passage? Isn't this a coincidence?
The Bingcao official raised his hands and saluted: "The flames in the palace were soaring into the sky and attracted people's attention. When I saw it, I knew that a big chaos had occurred, so I hurried here to wait. Now it seems that something happened in the palace."
The dark passage could finally see light, and Li Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief knowing that he had escaped from the palace.
A sound made the King of Joseon's hair stand on end. He drew his knife and pointed in the direction of the sound. Only when he saw the person coming did he feel relieved.
Under such circumstances, even if the crown prince Li Zhen had the intention to rebel, he did not have the capital to do so. How could he fight his way into the palace and not even be able to stop the imperial guards guarding the King of Joseon?
The Bingcao official suddenly remembered something and said to Li Fangyuan, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
All this happened in an instant, and Li Chao didn't even have time to react.
"I accept my order."
"We can wait until the rebellion is quelled to discuss anything. You go and gather the troops quickly!" Li Fangyuan said impatiently.
With a calm expression, the Bing Cao officer twisted the dagger and crushed the heart of North Korean King Li Fangyuan, "My Prince Qi asked me to pass a message to you. I will kill you if you use the two big jars of kimchi you gave to my Prince.
My prince feels sorry for you."
The Min family was the most powerful family in the Li Dynasty, with all the power in the government and the opposition. Although they were suppressed crazily by Li Fangyuan, they still had a high prestige in the military.
"The situation is urgent. Please move quickly, Your Majesty. As long as you are still there, you can go to various places to gather troops to put down the rebellion!" The guard commander said anxiously, "I am willing to fight to the death here to cut off your rear and stop Li Bao's army!
"
The Bing Cao official shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, I must speak now."
…
King Li Fangyuan of North Korea roared: "I won't leave! A mere Li Bao is nothing. If I can't surrender him, how can I be the king? I will fight that traitor to the end!"
"Guo Xingye, our division has arrived at the enemy's coastal area of Kaijing, and the enemy's coastal garrison should have detected our division."
"What... uh..."
The King of Joseon, Li Bangyuan, could not react. He was woken up in his sleep. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw the fire outside the window soaring into the sky!
The sound of fighting rang in his ears, and Li Fangyuan was shocked and angry: "What is this, what happened!"
"Enemy attack!"
Li Fangyuan was very suspicious. He had the idea that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm others", so he was merciless even to those heroes who followed him to win the throne.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
It is not unreasonable for Li Fangyuan to want to kill the Min family. The Min family has a very high voice among civil servants and controls an army that cannot be underestimated. Even the queen and the prince are members of the same family as the Min family.
He waved his arms, trying to push away the bastard in front of him, but his body couldn't use any strength at all, and his life force was flowing away rapidly.
"After three rounds of bombardment, only the non-mobilizable personnel will be left on standby on the ship. All remaining sergeants will land to occupy the opponent's defense line and control the position!"
The Bingcao official looked around and after confirming that no one was around, he slowly walked over: "Actually, I am..."
As long as he escapes from the most dangerous palace, as the king of North Korea, he can definitely fight back!
The King of Korea did not know that the Ming army had launched an attack by land and water.
King Li Fangyuan of North Korea looked confused. He only knew that the Bingcao official in front of him, whom he regarded as a confidant, was a spy sent by the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty!
They're all bastards!
The King of Joseon, who could never trust anyone in his life, never imagined that one of the very few people he could trust was actually an undercover agent!
Filled with reluctance and hatred, his consciousness gradually became faint, darkness appeared in front of his eyes, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably.
