I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 189 How about supporting a Korean queen for fun?
The Ming army's "surrounding the spot to fight for aid" kept the Koryo king in a state of bewilderment, and he ran to the city wall to inspect it from time to time.

Apart from cheering up the defenders, more importantly, he wanted to figure out what the Ming army wanted to do.

Before, the peace minister he sent out was beheaded by the Ming army because of his arrogant attitude, and his followers brought him back by the way.

Later, he selected a few ministers who could talk, and wanted to continue talking about delaying time.

In the end, this conversation lasted for twenty days.

According to the observation of the sentry at the top of the city, the adults of the Goryeo Kingdom seemed to be living comfortably in the tent of the Ming army, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time...

"These beasts!"

"The king was frightened in the city, but they were lucky enough to go to the Ming army's big tent to eat, drink and have fun..."

However, the heart of the King of Korea gradually settled down.

Isn't that the siege?

Who is afraid of who.

The food in the city can last for two or three years. If you don’t believe me, the [-] to [-] Ming army can really afford energy consumption!
Gradually, life in the city of Seoul gradually became calmer.

The heart of the Lord of Korea also gradually relaxed.

He once again resumed his good days of drinking and drinking, and he didn't bother to think about or pay attention to the [-] Ming Iron Army outside the city.

The only thing that made him a little uneasy.

First, why did those King Qin's army never arrive in Seoul?
Second, why did these Ming troops start to organize people to build a city fortress seven or eight miles away from the west gate of Seoul?Moreover, it seems that its scale is not small, probably no less than seven or eight miles in radius?

In addition, what made the Goryeo ruler furious the most was that the soft-boned Goryeo people actually helped the Ming army build the city...

……

Until one night, with bursts of earth-shattering explosions, Seoul, which had just settled down, exploded in an instant.

Everyone ran out to find out what happened.

Soon, something that left everyone dumbfounded happened.

Seoul, known as the strongest city in Korea.

The capital of Korea.

The city gates in the four directions of southeast, northwest, were blown down directly.

Among them, the most serious one is Ximen.

A section of the city wall that was [-] steps long, together with the original city gate and gate building, was dug by the Ming army, filled with an unknown amount of strong gunpowder, and directly razed to the ground.

……

"Quick, quickly repair the city wall!"

"Let the defenders stand up, they must stand up!"

"If you keep the city, this king will grant him ten thousand hectares of land, a thousand taels of gold!"

When the Lord of Korea heard the news, his first reaction was that this royal city was about to be breached!
In a panic, he issued an order to let the defenders and the people, even if they piled up with flesh and blood, find a way to block the collapsed city walls.

However, what surprised the defenders and the people of Seoul was that when they rushed near the collapsed section of the city wall, they did not see the attack of the Ming army.

In addition to the west gate, dozens of artillery were aimed at the gap in the city wall, and two or three thousand musketeers aimed their muzzles at this area with the help of trenches.

Once someone rushed forward, the torrent of steel would be thrown directly, and the Goryeo soldiers who were trying to repair the city wall would be beaten into pieces of rotten flesh.

However, if they don't step into the restricted area.

The guns of the Ming army kept a very strange silence, neither attacking nor letting people repair the city wall, what kind of tactics is this?
The Lord of Korea was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, it's really impossible, organize a team to charge and see if we can break out of the encirclement?" Next to it, a Korean counselor suggested: "It seems that the Ming army this time is implementing the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao in Sun Tzu's Art of War.

According to the speculation of the ministers, their original intention was not to capture Seoul.

Instead, trying to find a way to wear down the strength of my Koryo country..."

The Lord of Korea sighed, smiled wryly and said, "Actually, I know all of this."

"Unfortunately, it's too late now. Their firearms are too fierce to resist, let alone break through..."

In the small iron house, the king and ministers of the Goryeo Kingdom looked ashen, once again regretting that they should not have collude with Jiannu in the first place, plotting against Mao Wenlong and his Dongjiang Town.

Fortunately, this Ming army broke through the city clearly, but they did not continue to advance, thus completely breaking through Seoul and capturing him, the lord of Koryo, alive.

"What exactly does the Ming army want to do?"

"Or, what are they doing?"

Asked what the lord said, the following courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one could say a rule.

Because this kind of siege without attack is simply beyond their imagination...

"Peripheral King Dajun, do you have any news?" After calming down, the King of Korea asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the periphery..." a minister in charge of military affairs said in a harsh voice, "According to the news from Fei Ge, the army of the King Qin in the periphery has been defeated and swallowed up by the Ming army because of the lack of a unified command. More than 3..."

As soon as the news came out, the face of the King of Korea was terrified.

The subordinate ministers were also panic-stricken.

This silently swallowed more than 3 horses from King Qin's reinforcements...

This Ming army is simply haunted.

"Have the people who made peace come back? Why don't you report it quickly!" The king lost his composure and roared angrily, "Let them go to make peace, why didn't they come back?

Come, take all the family members of those people to the top of the city, and behead them for public display! "

The lord of the country is also in a daze.

When is it, and instead of thinking about solving the predicament, the first thing that comes to mind is to push the family members of the ministers to the top of the city and behead them as a warning to others?
If Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, heard about it, he would definitely stick out a thumbs up secretly and give the lord of Koryo a thumbs up:

Well, nice job!

With the Emperor Chongzhen who hangs himself on the southeast branch, it is almost a fight...

Fortunately, this absurd order of the lord was persuaded by a group of courtiers.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to find out the true intentions of this Ming army, not to kill ministers and family members, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, you can organize civilians to strengthen the inner city's defenses, so that the Ming army cannot attack unimpeded..."

The lord of Goryeo sighed deeply.

Fortify the inner city, there is a fart.

The outer city wall is so strong, it's not like someone blows it down for a few hundred steps, the city wall... doesn't seem to be very useful.

"Let's find a way to find out the truth and see what they want to do!"

In the end, the lord of Koryo made a final decision and settled the matter...

……

Three days later, the news came.

The Ming army actually recruited a large number of Goryeo people to serve as civilian husbands, and built a city outside the west gate!
The radius is seven or eight miles.

The giant trees and rocks used for the city walls are seven or eight times stronger than the city walls of Seoul.

Moreover, a large number of trenches and fortresses were built in the surrounding area, forming a large circle of defensive fortifications. Not to mention cavalry charges, even a fly trying to break through would be torn to pieces by the cross-arranged firepower!

At the same time, what surprised the Goryeo people even more was that after the city was built, they started to build a strange road.

After the foundation is prepared, a large amount of gravel is laid, and wooden sticks are placed on it, and they are firmly connected with iron nails...

Anyway, it sounds pretty weird.

"Could it be that they are building a railway?" Suddenly, the Lord of Korea came to his senses.

He had heard a long time ago that the newly enthroned young emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a big idiot.

The collected money and food were used to build a "railway".

Under the obstruction of a group of scholars, the railway almost became unfinished...

"What are they building the railroad for?"

Seoul is only a hundred miles away from the west coast, and the cavalry can rush to help with a single charge.

Isn't it convenient to build such a railway to attack... Seoul in the future?
Thinking of this, the lord of Korea broke out in a cold sweat.

In other words, once this railway is opened, Zheng Zhilong's navy can continuously transport the army to the front line of Harbor City to log in, and can attack Seoul at any time!
"It seems that we can only find a way to break out."

In an instant, the idea of ​​moving the capital was already in the heart of the king of Korea.

However, such words cannot be said in front of the courtiers, otherwise, in the face of such a difficult situation at home and abroad, maybe someone will take advantage of the problem and directly abolish him as the lord of the country...

"Send capable ministers and have a good talk with them." The king quickly made a decision.

……

Not to mention the calculations of the Lord of Korea.

In Daming's newly built castle next to Seoul, various projects are progressing in an orderly manner, tense and orderly, and various infrastructures are about to be completed.

Several engineering commanders began to worry.

These people can only build castles and railway embankments, and they don't know anything about the rest.

How to do?
Please tell me, Lord Long Live.

So, in a harbor on the west coast, Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor who was fishing and learning foreign languages, received another flying report asking for instructions on his next step.

"These bastards are not bad. The main city has been built so quickly, and the roadbed has been built for dozens of miles."

While eating meat and drinking, Zhu Youjian asked Anna and Catherine to beat their shoulders and legs, humming comfortably.

"Fei Huang, do you think this Tsarist Russian woman is better, or Princess Gaoli's posture is better?"

Zheng Zhilong: "..."

There is no way to answer this question.

We haven't tried it yet, how do we know the mystery...

"Long Live Lord, do you want to let the students from the Daming Engineering Bureau and Daming Academy go to help?" Zheng Zhilong pondered a few times, then smiled: "Unexpectedly, under the guidance of Long Live Lord, those veterans would learn how to be a global lord. gone."

The idiot emperor laughed loudly, and said triumphantly: "I think back then, my coquettish maneuvers suppressed the Roman Legion and the Crusaders to beat them up violently, and they all died before they had time to fight.

A mere Koryo country is nothing to worry about! "

Zheng Zhilong listened, just smiled and didn't answer.

In the heart of this Long Live Lord, I don't know how many wonderful ideas are installed.Let him, the King of Zhenhai, simply be unable to keep up.

"Since you've come, you can't leave empty-handed," Zhu Youjian said solemnly, "Send an order for all the students from the Daming Engineering Bureau and Daming Academy to land and fight.

First of all, build a harbor city here.

At the same time, I will run through the railway from the west coast to Seoul at the fastest speed, and I am going to condolences to the princesses of Korea.

You said how pitiful those weak women are who are involved in fighting and killing all day long. Not only do they have to be ravaged by beasts like the King of Koryo, but they also suffer from fear and fear in these turbulent years...

Alas, I can't wait to rescue them all and find a place in the capital to house them specially.

By the way, the Forbidden City is useless, so just sell it.

Build a large villa for princesses and princesses from all over the world, so that they can also enjoy a truly beautiful life..."

Zheng Zhilong: "..."

He couldn't take it anymore.

This idiot emperor is simply too...mighty!

In the Ming Dynasty, I have been weakened for a long time. Several emperors hid in the backyard of the deep palace, either cultivating immortals and learning Taoism, or doing carpentry work...

Look at this one in front of you, who is arrogant and fearless.

This is, my great blessing...

……

"Long live, it should be quite difficult to build a railway that is more than a hundred miles long. Moreover, it is necessary to find mine resources, etc. The amount of work should not be small...

Or, Weichen will try to find a way to get 10,000+ people? "

When Zheng Zhilong thought of the amount of work on Kuwu Island, he felt a bit of a toothache.

He is the emperor, so if he moves his lips casually, there will naturally be someone busy inside and out to deal with it...

Right now, the one who can run errands for the emperor is naturally the King of Zhenhai.

"Fei Huang, you think very well, which is similar to what I think. It seems that it is quite beneficial for you to be by my side these days."

Zhu Youjian smiled brazenly and said, "Just do what you said, double or triple."

"What's the use of a few tens of thousands of people? This harbor city, together with the big city next to Seoul, can accommodate at least 30 to [-] people."

"Find a way to turn the people of Koryo into miners and railway workers, free up their land, and distribute it to the people of Ming Dynasty."

Zheng Zhilong hesitated to speak.

The brain circuit of the idiot emperor always confuses him a bit.

Miners, railway workers, don't we need our own people to do these key links?Not to mention the matter of guaranteeing harvest due to drought and flood, but every month, you can receive a ration and salary, which is quite enviable...

"Fei Huang, don't keep your words out of your mouth, and be careful not to make mistakes." Seemingly guessing what Zheng Zhilong was thinking, Zhu Youjian said with a smile:

"The reason is very simple. If a large piece of land is allocated to the people of Ming Dynasty, those Korean people will not be happy. There is a high probability that they will cause trouble and fight us desperately. How should I put it, as long as the land issue is involved, it is a fatal issue.

Therefore, we must find a way to uproot them! "

Zheng Zhilong understood instantly.

There was a strange smile on the idiot emperor's face, which was full of chatter and laughter. It was a unique expression every time he was about to suffer a big defeat.

It seems that Long Live Lord knows it well, right?
But what Zheng Zhilong didn't know was that the idiot emperor was thinking about another thing: "The king of Koryo is a bad old man in his fifties, and his concubines are a little old and faded?" ?
No, just discuss it and let him abdicate.

I heard that he has several princesses. If he can’t do it, he can support a queen of Korea to come out... for fun? "
