Chapter 380 The reason for such nonsense and absurdity
Chapter 380 Such nonsense and ridiculous reasons
The news that Yu Bochang's 50,000-strong army was defeated at Nashuozhou City seemed to have grown wings. In just a few days, it spread back to Pyongyang, the capital of the Korean Kingdom, and the Korean who had always been frail and sickly
When King Li Jue heard the news for the first time, he fainted on the spot.
There was chaos in the palace, and Li Jue was finally rescued. However, Li Jue's awakening could not bring confidence or any good ideas to these helpless ministers.
After all, no one would have thought that Daming, who had always turned a blind eye to the small moves under the tables of the surrounding vassal countries, or that as long as these vassal countries could smile and act submissive, Daming would be nothing more than
Just a few words of warning, but I won't say that I really need to pay attention to such things.
But now, tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty's elite troops suddenly appeared on the east bank of the Yalu River, and launched a brazen attack on the North Korean King's Division stationed under Nashuozhou City. The 50,000 elite North Korean troops did not even have a chance to resist.
, was defeated by the same number or even slightly smaller Ming army. Not counting the 50,000 soldiers and horses, when they were suddenly attacked by the Ming army that night, less than 5,000 were killed or injured, but nearly 40,000 Korean soldiers were killed.
Only a few thousand of the army's prisoners of war escaped.
And according to the news coming back from Shuozhou City, that night, the Ming army's artillery suddenly opened fire, and the dense artillery fire hit the Korean camp like raindrops, and even Shuozhou City not far away was hit.
When I lowered my cannon, I saw that these artillery fires were not just solid iron balls like those in the past, but the kind of explosive shells that were very rare in the past.
The fire that broke out in Shuozhou City that night burned nearly one-fifth of the buildings in Shuozhou City. The defenders of Shuozhou City surrendered without a fight.
In other words, almost all of the 50,000 troops sent by North Korea became prisoners of the Ming army without even touching a hair on the opponent's side. Moreover, the principal figure, Jianzhou Nuzhi, was unscathed.
And just when the North Korean royal court was in chaos, bad news one after another was frequently introduced into Pyongyang, the royal capital of North Korea.
And the most shocking thing is that we finally received the envoy returning to North Korea from the capital of the Ming Dynasty. However, this originally mighty envoy now only has two or three kittens left, and these two
Daming specially let the three kittens go so that no one would send news back for them.
Well, the news is bad, or extremely bad. Zhu Qizhen, the great emperor of tomorrow, has expressed extreme dissatisfaction and anger at the shameless and despicable behavior of the North Korean Kingdom over the years. More importantly, North Korea has been assassinated by
After capturing the prisoners, he went on a campaign to conquer the various tribes in Liaodong and seize territory, which he despised.
Moreover, he later dared to collude with various tribes of women and invade the border towns of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Qizhen was very angry and the consequences were serious.
The news brought back by these kittens is that Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Emperor, wants the Kingdom of Korea to hand over all the land that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty that was taken overtly and covertly in the past, and the deadline is only one month.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
It took them a third of the time to get to Pyongyang from there. What's more, it would be simply delusional for them to vomit out such a large area of land that the Kingdom of Korea had swallowed up over the years.
But Zhu Qizhen's illustrious reputation and Shi Heng, who had already led his cavalry to Shuozhou, were not monks who fasted and chanted Buddha's name, but ruthless people who had countless blood debts and were sure to repay their anger.
Moreover, in addition to this obvious trick, there are even more ruthless ones. Countless tribes who originally submitted to the Korean Kingdom have all repeated their tactics. Several or even a dozen small tribes have come together to join forces.
In just a few days, more than a dozen cities along the Yalu River in the northern part of the Korean Kingdom had changed hands.
What is ironic is that all these tribes have clearly stated their banners. The four big Chinese characters of Jianzhou Women's Straight are displayed in each of their tribes. And they all claim that it is because of the treachery of the Korean Kingdom.
, so they want the Kingdom of Korea to see the power of Jianju straight women...
Such a nonsense and ridiculous reason, however, makes North Korea suffer the consequences, because now they have no way to prove their innocence.
"It's extremely ridiculous. The female straight men from Jianzhou gathered together and could have at most 20,000 to 30,000 troops. But now, with wars everywhere in the northern border of Korea, we must have at least 70,000 to 80,000 troops..." Inside the Joseon Palace, a group of people
The civil servant roared angrily.
"What's the use of talking more? Even if everyone knows that these are fake Jianzhou straight women, so what?" Another civil servant glanced at his colleague coldly and said.
After hearing this, the person who was originally angry at the bullfight suddenly put out the fire and sat down on the floor dejectedly. Yes, Ming Dynasty now has evidence of collusion between North Korea and the Jianzhou female straight woman, and now
, Ming Dynasty wanted to kill and cripple North Korea. No matter how many reasons North Korea has, what can it do?
"Is there no way to prevent the Ming Dynasty from retreating?" Another official couldn't help but asked.
"The Ming Dynasty will withdraw its troops? We must first agree to the unreasonable request made by the Ming Dynasty emperor. Those lands have been managed by North Korea for a long time. Can we just give them back for no reason? We must not do it!"
Seeing the court officials arguing in a mess, Li Jue, who was lying on the couch, couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"Brother Wang, we must make a quick decision on this matter. Now, the Ming Dynasty's troops are approaching the city, destroying our city and defeating tens of thousands of our elites. Now there are only 50,000 soldiers in Pyongyang city. Besides, Shuozhou can be reached in a few days."
The young man, who looked similar to Li Jue who was lying on the bed due to illness, but seemed full of vitality and energy, sat next to the soft couch where Li Jue was lying and asked Li Jue.
"What can we do? Do you know that the man who led his troops to invade our country was Shi Heng, one of the most famous generals in the Ming Dynasty. Hearing the news, he followed him, but that man who once faced countless enemies on the grassland
The enemy was not timid at all, and he followed the Ming Emperor in conquering east and west on the grassland, and finally pacified the elite pro-army troops in the grassland." A bitter smile appeared on Li Jue's face.
"Gu Zao has sent an envoy to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to explain the reasons, but there has been no response so far. Furthermore, Shi Heng led the elite Ming army to invade our territory. It can be seen that the Ming emperor is very serious to our North Korea.
Not waiting to see you, alas..."
Li Jue was very sad because he never imagined that such a terrible event would happen to him after he had only been on the throne for two years, and it might be a disaster if he was not careful.
If his father, King Sejong, had not been so radical back then, perhaps the situation between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty would not have been like this.
