Chapter 389: Seeing Through Intentions, Retreating Again and Again
At this moment, in just a few days, almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew about this important event. Zhu Qizhen had just made a decree to the world. In view of the uncertain disputes between North Korea and the Liaodong tribes, which had caused suffering to the people, Zhu Qizhen decided to
Reconcile the conflicts between the two parties.
Who would have expected that Li Yao would jump out at this time and do such a dirty thing. When the country was in crisis, he would kill Minister Gu Ming and proclaim himself king. Such despicable means and actions made
Those Ming literati who heard the news from the newspapers jumped to their feet and cursed.
The black hand behind the scenes, the seemingly decent gentleman Zhu Qizhen, was also angry. He was quite angry. The roar in the court could be described as like a lion or a tiger. Of course, the important court officials present who had participated in the secret meeting in advance
Everyone couldn't help but secretly applaud Zhu Qizhen's impeccable acting skills.
The emperor's anger caused bloodshed for thousands of miles. After receiving Zhu Qizhen's order, Shi Heng once again sent his army southward, and under the banner of the suzerain's country to take action to quell the civil strife in Korea to fulfill the suzerain's obligations.
Li Yao never imagined that his actions would make Ming so angry. You know, in the hope of calming Ming's anger, he even reported to Zhu Qizhen in his credentials that as long as Ming could admit his
As the new leader of Korea, he was willing to return the territories in northern Korea that had been occupied by Ming Dynasty to Ming Dynasty.
You know, it took a lot of effort for him to convince the courtiers.
But I never expected that Zhu Qizhen not only did not buy it, but also came with Shi Heng to raise troops with murderous intent, and this hot weapon accounted for more than two-thirds of the Ming Dynasty's powerful force, and it was by no means almost completely
The cold weaponized army of the Kingdom of Korea could not compete with it.
Along the way, it can be described as overwhelming. Even if it took more than a year to fight with the Liaodong tribes, it has become an elite Korean king's division. In front of the cannons and bullets, it can almost be said that
There is no resistance whatsoever.
"Your Majesty, before the Ming Dynasty's army starts a war, it is often an unreasonable artillery fire that blows our army into pieces. The generals are missing, and the generals do not know the soldiers. Then, they advance in formation and fire thousands of guns. Our Korean soldiers, even those
The Ming army couldn't even get closer than a hundred steps, and they were already shot to death..." A general with broken armor knelt on the floor, crying towards the new king Li Yao, who had an iron-grey complexion and flickering eyes.
"General Park, with thirty thousand elite troops, you came back alone in less than a day. This raised the ambition of the Ming Dynasty and destroyed our prestige in Korea..." A civil servant stood up and pointed at the general.
He cursed angrily. He never thought that the 30,000 elite troops that he had finally put together would disappear in such a sudden. Even if there were 30,000 pigs, the opponent's total number of soldiers and horses would be only 50,000.
If the Ming army wants to defeat them all, it will take a lot of effort, right?

This has put the Korean Kingdom, which was already short of military resources, in danger. Now, the Korean King Pyongyang has only 50,000 soldiers. After the originally confident Korean monarchs and ministers were defeated by the Ming army one after another, they were originally unsure about the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty army.
Evaluation has dropped from the same horizontal line to the world and the earth.
Of course, what is in the sky is the Ming army, which is armed to the teeth and whose weapons are so advanced that it is outrageous, and what is on the ground is naturally the unlucky Korean Kingdom.
"Okay, now, no matter how much we argue, what's the use? The only solution now is what should I do with the Korean Kingdom? In three days at most, Ming's army will surely approach the city." Li Yao's chief adviser
Han Minghui stood up and shouted sternly. He immediately suppressed all the voices of condemnation and apology. Han Minghui turned his head and saluted Li Yao. "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven refuses
In spite of the conditions you proposed, he brazenly ordered Shi Heng to lead his army south and attack Pyongyang, our royal capital. It is clear that we have no interest in peace talks with you, the king. Now the Ming army is so powerful that it is beyond our control as a country in Korea.
can compete, so we must make a decision early."
"How to decide? When our country was in danger, Gu Deng was willing to endure hardships for the sake of our country's prosperity. He ceded territory and asked for peace. However, the great emperor of tomorrow was unmoved and wanted to destroy our country. Today, our country must first build our country.
Troubled by the captives, and later invaded by the Ming Dynasty, the country was destroyed, and most of the troops were lost..." Li Yao, with a haggard face, said with a bitter smile.
In fact, Li Yao's original calculation was quite good. He thought that when the Ming Taizu, who was unparalleled in killing and decisiveness, was in power, Li Chenggui, the founder of the Li Dynasty, usurped the Goryeo Dynasty to replace it and founded North Korea.
This was much bigger than his peaceful move to take the throne of his nephew. However, once Li Chenggui confessed his sincerity to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would ignore such a major event. Even later, Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen both enthroned him.
That is to say, the fact that Li Chenggui replaced Goryeo was officially recognized.
But who could have imagined that today, the emperor of tomorrow, Zhu Qizhen, would be so aggressive that he would not even be tempted to make such a big concession.
"...With all the strength of the country in Korea, we are not the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The only solution now is to ask Your Majesty to submit the letter of credence to the Ming Dynasty again, and hope that the emperor of tomorrow will take pity on our Korean people and withdraw his troops to cease the war." Han Ming
Hui couldn't tell what Li Yao was thinking, so he gritted his teeth and spoke again. The meaning of the words was naturally self-evident, which meant that your Majesty, please give more favorable conditions and try to let the Ming Dynasty
The emperor could withdraw his troops back to camp with satisfaction and no longer pay attention to the internal affairs of the Korean Kingdom.
You know, since Taizu Li Chenggui became the leader of the Joseon Dynasty, such palace changes have almost never stopped. When Li Chenggui was still alive, there had been two prince rebellions. Changing the king was like changing the entertainment star.
, jaw-droppingly fast.
Now that Li Yao has come to power, he still keeps Li Hongwei alive and respects him as the Supreme King. He is just worried that the Ming Dynasty will react violently, but unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty will step on its tail. The reaction is so fierce that it is really shocking.
Somewhat confused.
But now, Han Minghui, who is called my Zhang Zifang by Li Yao, has understood the intention of the emperor of tomorrow. In a word, the drunkard's intention is not to drink. What he wants is probably more than just wine.
It is to use North Korea to establish its prestige and take back the land that has been overtly and covertly snatched away by the Kingdom of North Korea in the past hundred years. I am afraid that it even wants to swallow the entire North Korea.
Thinking of this, Han Minghu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that maybe just because he persuaded the king to seize the king, he gave Ming a perfect opportunity to intervene in North Korean affairs.
Therefore, the only solution now is to use the maximum benefits to satisfy the Emperor of Tomorrow, at least to obtain enough benefits without spending a lot of money. Under such circumstances,
The great emperor of tomorrow should be able to satisfy him.
As for those ceded lands, wait thirty or fifty years, and when the Ming Dynasty no longer focuses its attention on this, the Korean Kingdom will annex it in small bites as it did in the past, and it will eventually regain everything it lost.
After all, the owners of those lands are all North Korean people. Therefore, Han Minghui has this determination and confidence.
