Fenghou

The waiter Jin Fushi was a little strange: "Isn't it a good thing for the Yong army to go south? At least save us from the mouth of the Japanese wolves. If the Japanese break the city, with their cruelty, the whole city will be slaughtered. We have escaped a little bit now." Fate, you should be glad."

Tuo Junjing said slowly: "What Li Xiangguo means is that Yong Jun is also a bad visitor."

Li Ziqian nodded, "We have always been hostile to the Yong Dynasty. We did not participate in their new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and even sent ships to try to seize Jeju Island, not to mention sending people to steal their military technology. With our attitude, the Yong army How could it be possible to send troops to help us? It must be a bad person!"

Jin Fushi was silent, and asked for a while: "If you submit to the Yong Dynasty now and become a vassal state of the Yong Dynasty, can it be negotiated?"

"Of course this is the best ending, I'm afraid the other party won't meet such conditions!"

At this moment, Pu Shengzhong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, rushed to report, "Yong Jun sent someone to deliver the letter!"

The three stood up together, Li Ziqian asked urgently: "Where is the messenger?"

"Just wait outside the court!"

Li Ziqian hurriedly said: "Quickly invite him in!"

Not long after, a young civil servant came in. The official's name was Cui Xiang. He joined the army under Hu Yun's tent. He passed the Jinshi examination two years ago and became the head of Chencang County. This time, he was selected by Hu Yun to bring Korea and come to Korea. He is not the only civil servant here, a total of 37 people have come, and they will all stay in Korea as officials in the future.

Cui Xiang clasped his fists in a salute, said neither humble nor overbearing: "Cui Xiang, by order of my servant, come here to send a letter to the king of your country, I hope to convey it!"

After speaking, he took out a letter and presented it, and one of his subordinates took the letter and handed it to Li Ziqian. After reading the letter, Li Ziqian handed it to the other two, saying: "It's Hu Yun, the minister of officials of the Yong Dynasty. He is the special envoy of the Emperor of the Yong Dynasty. At the same time, negotiations will be conducted to resolve the current crisis facing Korea."

Jin Fushi looked at the channel: "If you can avoid war, try to avoid war. Go test it first and see what the other party means?"

They are all proficient in Chinese, but they talk in Korean, just to prevent each other from understanding.

Li Ziqian also agreed, "Let Park Seungjung go!"

"No!"

Jin Fushi quickly objected: "The other party is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Celestial Dynasty, with the title of Xiangguo, and the special envoy of King Yong. Park Shengzhong is just a minister of the Ministry of Rites. If the etiquette is inconsistent, it will anger the other party!"

Tuo Junjing shook his head and said, "Actually, Park Seung-jung is not asked to negotiate, but to send a letter, expressing our willingness to negotiate, and test the other party's intentions by the way."

Jin Fushi was right when he thought about it. Park Shengzhong corresponded to Cui Xiang, the messenger of the other party, so it was not a big problem, so he agreed, "The three of us jointly wrote a letter to respond to Hu Shilang!"

……

Fifty thousand Yong troops set up a big camp outside the city, and inside the big tent, Liu Qiong asked curiously, "I don't know what His Majesty plans to do with Goryeo?"

Hu Yun smiled slightly: "Your Majesty means to enable the Xizhou Uighur mode!"

Anxi was brought down under the leadership of Liu Qiong. How could he not understand? He immediately understood that the so-called Xizhou Uyghur model is to keep Gaochang King and let the Uighur people rely on them emotionally. The Xizhou Uighurs did not destroy the country. His King Gaochang is still there, but in fact the Uighurs in Xizhou no longer have a court and army, and officials from all over the country are also officials appointed by the Ministry of Officials. There are Han officials and Uighur officials, all of whom are loyal to the Yong Kingdom.

Liu Qiong was overjoyed, "This plan is good!"

He suddenly hesitated and said, "The other party will never accept this proposal. Is there any point in negotiating?"

Hu Yun shook his head, "The so-called negotiation is just to give them face and let them surrender decently. To put it bluntly, it's about courtesy first and then soldiers!"

At this time, a soldier reported outside the account: "Report to the servant, the other party sent the servant of the Ministry of Rites to reply!"

Chapter 580 Destruction

After a while, Pu Shengzhong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, hurried in and bowed to salute: "See Special Envoy Hu!"

Although Goryeo had a language, it did not have a written language, and the written language was still written in Chinese. Therefore, their aristocrats learned Chinese from an early age, were able to use Chinese proficiently, and could speak Chinese fluently.

There is no problem with language communication.

"Pu Shilang is free!"

A soldier took the other party's letter and handed it to Hu Yun. After Hu Yun read the letter, he couldn't help but sneered and gave them a stick. They really climbed up and were willing to negotiate. Are they still qualified to negotiate?

Hu Yun said lightly: "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood me. I'm not talking about negotiating the fate of Yongjun, but that we sit together to discuss the future of Goryeo. You all know that Goryeo is devastated. It is almost dead, the country will perish, without the help of the Yong Dynasty, this land will soon become a wasteland, it makes people feel emotional!"

Pu Shengzhong was at a loss, and hurriedly said: "The humble official didn't understand the meaning of the special envoy, can you make it clear!"

Hu Yun said with a smile: "You first show your sincerity, open the city gate, and let the Yong army enter the city. The Yong army is not as cruel as the Japanese army, and will not harm the people. They will also help the people at the bottom. First, let the people in the city settle down , we will sit together and discuss the future of Korea.”

Park Shengzhong opened his mouth wide, and he finally understood, "What does the special envoy mean, let us surrender?"

"If you want to understand it this way, I can't help it. In fact, we did not invade Goryeo, but came to save the people of Goryeo who were about to be slaughtered by the Japanese army, and to save the king of Goryeo who was about to be destroyed by Japan. People who are about to starve to death are not qualified to be picky about food, do you understand?"

"I understand, I will report to the adults!"

"Go! The city gate must be opened before noon, so that I can see my sincerity, which is good for their family!"

……

Pu Shengzhong hurried back to the city, and the three ministers were still waiting for him in the court!

After listening to Park Shengzhong's report, the three of them were all dumbfounded. Li Ziqian looked up to the sky and cried, "Goryeo is going to die!"

Tuo Junjing and Jin Fushi were also devastated and didn't know what to do.

Park Shengzhong said anxiously: "The other party asked us to open the city before noon, otherwise it will be regarded as a refusal. It will be noon soon, should I open the city or not?"

Li Ziqian gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't open the city, what can I do?"

Both Tuo Junjing and Jin Fushi were silent. At this time, neither of them could speak. Anyone who speaks to persuade is traitorous. They don't want to bear this reputation.

Li Ziqian shouted: "Order the whole army to go to the city, we will fight to the last man!"

……

"Boom! Boom!" Two explosions sounded, and the suspension bridge crashed down, filled with smoke and dust.

The soldiers on the top of the city were stunned, and no one knew what to do. They didn't receive an order to fight against the Yong army, and the other side didn't attack the city on a large scale, which made them at a loss as to what to do.

Of course, Liu Qiong would not just stand by and watch. During the other party's discussion, he had sent soldiers to nail a 240-jin iron fire thunder to the city gate, and solved the obstructing suspension bridge first.

In order to confuse the soldiers in the city, Liu Qiong asked someone to set up a table in front of the city gate, with fragrant wax paper candles and three animal offerings on it.

This is a difference in cognition. Goryeo soldiers believed that siege ladders must be erected to attack the city, and the soldiers rushed up in large numbers. They had never seen or heard that firearms could attack the city.

They didn't know what the other party was doing. When they saw the other party setting up the altar and incense candles, they thought that the other party was preparing some kind of ceremony for entering the city, offering sacrifices to the gods first.

It was already past noon, and at this time, the siren blared from the top of the city, 'Dang!when!when!when! '

Countless soldiers rushed to the top of the city, full of murderous intent, and treated them solemnly.

Hu Yun shook his head, don't give them face, then don't blame yourself for being rude.

He immediately ordered: "Siege the city!"

Liu Qiong shouted, "Launch!"

Dozens of rockets shot at the city gate together, and the city gate was sprinkled with kerosene, and suddenly the fire blazed, igniting fire and thunder.

Just a moment' boom! ' There was a shocking explosion.

The sound of the explosion was deafening, the ground trembled, bricks, stones and sawdust flew into the sky, and the entire city wall collapsed together with the walls on both sides, dust and smoke filled the air.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yong army blocked their ears and squatted on the ground.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the city gate and the walls on both sides disappeared, turning into bricks and stones all over the ground.

Liu Qiong immediately ordered: "When the army enters the city, those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will be killed!"

Tens of thousands of troops stormed into Kaijing, and the Koryo soldiers were already terrified and knelt down and surrendered one after another.

Hu Yun ordered not to disturb the people, and the army accepted the surrender of the opposing court.

Li Ziqian did not expect that the city would be breached in the blink of an eye, which made him too regretful, and at the same time completely desperate. In order to save his life, he did not care about his dignity, and personally brought all the officials out to surrender to the Yong army.

……

The [-] Japanese troops withdrew to the east, and built a pontoon bridge upstream to detour south. They had to fight back to Jincheng before they could hope to get supplies and retreat back to Japan.

Fujiwara Tadamichi didn't know that the Yong army's warships had completely destroyed their ships, and he still had a glimmer of hope that he could withdraw to Japan.

The [-] troops traveled between the high mountains, and soon entered the hilly area after crossing the Linjin River.

At noon, they entered a valley with mountains on both sides, covered with tall pine trees. The valley was more than twenty miles long, and they entered the plain through this valley.

All the luggage had been thrown away, and the soldiers traveled lightly, but the rice balls they each carried were only enough for two days. Everyone was anxious, wondering if they could return to their hometown?

Suddenly, the team stopped moving forward, and the front army began to make noise.

Fujiwara Chumichi hurriedly asked: "What's going on in front?"

"Marshal, it seems the road is broken!"

"Why is the road broken?"

Fujiwara Tadatsu became uneasy, and hurriedly looked at the mountains on both sides, and faintly found a figure flickering on the mountain.

"Not good! There is an ambush."

Fujiwara Tadamichi was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "The whole army retreats! Retreats!"

But it was too late, thousands of burning iron fire mines rolled down from the mountains on both sides, rolled down in the valley and exploded in a series.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Gunpowder smoke filled the air, iron sheets splashed everywhere, tens of thousands of soldiers in the valley cried and howled, and many soldiers were blown up, but this was just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, countless kerosene barrels rolled down from the mountain, and there were also large logs smashed and crushed. The Japanese army scrambled to escape, and there was chaos.

Thousands of rockets were shot down, the kerosene was ignited, and the valley more than ten miles long turned into a sea of ​​flames. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers desperately fled to the mountain, but soon, the mountain was also ignited by the fire. Quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen big trees were set ablaze.

Half an hour later, the entire valley turned into a sea of ​​flames, filled with thick smoke, making people unable to breathe, and finally suffocated to death.

Gao Ding looked at the monstrous fire tens of miles away. The fire was so fierce that it set a dozen mountains within a radius of [-] miles on fire. It was night, but the fire turned the sky red.

He was really worried about whether the thousands of soldiers led by Yue Yun could withdraw.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "Report to Dutong, General Yue is back!"

Gao Ding was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Where is the person?"

After a while, Yue Yun rode forward, clasped his fists and said: "The humble officer has led the army back, luckily he did not disgrace his life!"

"Good! How many soldiers have we lost?"

"Reporting to the general, more than 100 brothers were injured, but no one was killed, and all of them were withdrawn."

Gao Ding asked again: "Where is the other party?"

"The humble official ordered that the front and rear valley entrances be blocked with giant logs, and a fire was also lit. Everyone was in the valley and could not escape."

Gao Ding nodded, "This is God's will!"

A few days later, a heavy rain extinguished the spreading fire, and the trees for dozens of miles were almost completely burned.

Only then did Yong Jun go to clean up the battlefield, and the valley seemed to have turned into a hell on earth. Layers upon layers of corpses piled up in the valley, all of which were burned into coke. Including the commander Fujiwara Tadamichi, none of the [-] troops could escape. Burned to death in the valley.

So far, the 15 Japanese troops who invaded Goryeo were wiped out.

The first thousand and 580 chapters and six decisions

In the past two days, the internal affairs hall has been discussing the affairs of Korea and Japan.

Basically divided into two factions, the pragmatic faction represented by Zhou Kuan hopes to annex Goryeo directly.

It is not convenient for Japan to swallow, but it can colonize Japan and turn Japan into a supplier of overseas labor.

The other faction is represented by Lu Qingshan, and there are quite a few people who support him. They think that Yongguo's actions lack benevolence and righteousness.

He also opposed the attack on Japan, thinking that it would be too costly for troops and money, and advocated the development of trade with Japan in exchange for Japanese silver in the form of trade.

The emperor, Chen Qing, did not participate in the discussion. In fact, most officials expressed neutrality because the emperor did not take a stand.

Everyone knew very well that Zhou Kuan's attitude was that of the Son of Heaven, and Lu Qingshan and his group wanted to play against the Son of Heaven.

At noon that day, the Beijing News published an article written by a pseudonym 'historical tourer', discussing the history and future of Koryo and Japan.

The writing style of the article is sharp, and it writes about the Andong Protectorate established after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo.

However, Silla took advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty and expanded northward step by step to the Yalu River, occupying most of the land of Andong Duhufu.

The article also mentioned Lelang County in the Han Dynasty, and clearly pointed out that Kaijing, the current capital of Koryo, originally belonged to Lelang County, which was the land of the Han Dynasty.

Now the Yong Dynasty is not annexing Goryeo, but to restore the traditional territory since the Han Dynasty.

The article mentioned Japan again, pointing out that Japan has been a country with strong aggressive ambitions since ancient times, a country that only obeys authority and despises benevolence and justice.

Japan is a poisonous snake, staring coldly at the Eastern Celestial Dynasty. Once the Celestial Dynasty falls into civil strife, Japan will not hesitate to send troops to invade the Celestial Dynasty, which will bring serious disasters to the people of the Celestial Dynasty.

Even if Yong Kingdom does not annex Japan, it still needs to completely maim Japan and destroy the foundation of their samurai rule. The best way is to lock up Japan's military development, not provide them with a catty of pig iron, and at the same time destroy their emperor system, so that Japan has no imperial court, and it has been completely reduced to a situation where dozens of small countries are separated from each other.

In addition, there is a large island in the north of Japan. The Japanese call it Hokkaido, but it does not belong to Japan. A guillotine knife, monitoring every move of the Japanese countries.
