Han Dongdao patted the table fiercely, and said: "Since the Ming army has intervened, it shows that they are on the side of the royalist faction, and they are our enemies!"
Hearing Han Dongdao's words, the other adults had different expressions on their faces:
Some are angry, some are excited, some are regretful, some are happy...the list goes on and on!
After all, it was he, Han Dongdao, who provoked Da Ming on his own initiative, and now that Da Ming has launched revenge, he started to gnash his teeth instead.
"General, why don't we start shrinking our troops?" The short-bearded middle-aged man who spoke was Li Dongxu, the military commander of the Seoul Royal Palace.
"In the Kingdom of Korea, the old man can only mobilize 3 soldiers at will. Before that, [-] were stationed in Yushan City, and [-] were assigned to Seoul, and the remaining [-] were dispersed and arranged in other places. The small town maintains law and order."
Han Dongdao frowned, and said: "According to the news that came over, Daming has sent [-] troops, plus the army of the Royal Guards, we are afraid that we will be in danger this time!"
"It's a big deal to fight them!" A young man with a face full of flesh and as strong as a cow said with a face of rage.
"Xiaolong, what nonsense are you talking about?" A fat middle-aged man scolded the man first, and then said apologetically to Han Dongdao: "General, the dog speaks out of order, please don't mind."
"Liyao, what Xiaolong said is not unreasonable!" Han Dongdao said thoughtfully: "This time the Ming army totaled [-], and the number of the royalist faction was smaller than ours, and most of them were still there." To guard the city, only the soldiers of Yushan City can be mobilized. From this point of view, they are comparable to our strength. According to the old man, we simply gather all the soldiers back, at least we can fight Power!"
"The general is right!"
"We all listen to the general!"
Regardless of whether it was sincere or false, at least these generals agreed for now.
Han Dongdao nodded, and said: "Okay, the old man asked the servants to bring the map, and let's talk about the details."
……
As the saying goes, time waits for no one, just when Han Dongdao and the others were discussing how to deploy troops to stop the Wangbao faction and the army of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Song and the others were not idle.
Yang Rong drafted out an eloquent letter of rebellion, and copied thousands or even tens of thousands of copies, and sent them to all parts of North Korea.
For a moment, the entire Korean kingdom was in an uproar. The officials in various places and the chief adjutants in the city were in different moods, but most of them panicked.
Anyway, Han Dongdao is also a member of the Joseon Kingdom. Although he did something rebellious and banned the king Li Fangyuan, in the final analysis it is their own business of the Joseon Kingdom.
Right now, the Ming Dynasty sent [-] troops to the Kingdom of Korea, nominally to help the Qing Emperor of Korea and wipe out the rebellious Han Dongdao, but the officials from all over the Kingdom of Korea couldn't figure out what kind of plan they were actually planning.
Of course, Zhu Neng and Zhu Song didn't care what the officials from all parts of the Joseon Kingdom thought. On the third day after the publication of the rebellion document, the Ming army and the [-] king-protecting troops marched out at the same time.
With Song Zhongji and his army following them, coupled with the fact that the Ming army had a huge number of 5 people, other small cities in the Joseon Kingdom dared not stop them at all.
Therefore, on the route from Yushan City to Seoul, Zhu Neng and the others basically encountered no obstacles.
In just seven days, with the help of the royalist faction, those who could persuade them to surrender did not use force, and those who voluntarily surrendered were naturally welcomed along the way.
It's just that the [-] Korean soldiers encountered outside Yushan City have not increased but decreased since they left Yushan City. The current [-] Korean soldiers are all mobilized from various cities. Five thousand soldiers of Yushan City were left behind in the surrendered cities. While guarding the cities, they also played the role of supervising the generals and lords of the cities.
As the news of the continuous loss of cities in various parts of North Korea spread back to Seoul, starting from Han Dongdao, all the civil and military officials below became nervous.
The cities belonging to Han Dongdao's forces, while the recruitment speed of the inherent soldiers has been accelerated, the conscription procedures have also been started in all places under his command.
On the eighth day, the Ming army finally came to the area of Seoul, and the royalist army expanded to 5000. Together with the Ming army, there were a total of [-] people! (To be continued.)
3 Chapter Ninety
Inside the city of Hanyang, the capital of the Joseon Dynasty.
All the high-level civil and military officials who belonged to Han Dongdao in the Kingdom of Korea gathered in the general's mansion, and Han Dongdao, the general of soldiers and horses, was sitting on the main seat with a solemn face.
"How did this happen? The officials from all over the country who swore allegiance to you were all fucking scumbags, without any principles!"
Li Dongxu, the military commander of the royal palace, sat at the end, with a haggard look on his face.
For the past seven or eight days, Li Dongxu has received news from all over North Korea every day, and he will be driven crazy by the successive defeats and surrenders.
Because of the lessons learned from Yushan City, under Zhu Song's intentional instigation, Zhu Neng would first intimidate the local yamen or the military whenever he went to a power in the Korean Kingdom.
The result of this is that most of the forces in the Korean Kingdom surrendered obediently after seeing the power of the Ming army, and there were not no local forces in North Korea that were trampled by the Ming army.
The result is nothing more than the complete annihilation of the resistance forces, leaving no bones behind!
And those forces who dared to resist the Ming army and the royalist army were all disciples and grandchildren of Yi Jiandao's lineage. They were all die-hard fans of Han Dongdao. If they wanted them to surrender, it would be easier to kill them directly.
It is precisely because of this that under the suppression of the Ming Army and the royalist allied forces, Yi Jiandao became a festive rat in the territory of the Korean Kingdom. Almost anyone who saw the banner of Yi Jiandao would be expelled by the local forces or When they left the country, they were either sent to the Yamen, or they were dealt with on the spot. In short, everyone shouted and beat them!
"Dongxu, I have to admit that this matter has something to do with the old man!"
Han Dongdao took a look at Li Dongxu, and continued: "Before, the old man arranged for the navy to attack Daming's small island in order to vent the anger in his heart, but our navy was also completely wiped out. Speaking of which, my North Korea It can be regarded as a clear relationship with Daming. However, when you chose to imprison the king, you all passed it, didn’t you? As long as this decision is made, Daming, as the owner of the Korean Kingdom, will definitely not agree. Therefore, even if there is no old man The previous wrong decision, do you think he will let us go?"
"Not bad!"
As soon as Han Dongdao finished speaking, a middle-aged North Korean who looked about 40 or [-] years old followed closely and said:
"Besides, the envoys of the envoys who followed General Han to Daming must know that since we entered Daming, Zhu Di has always disliked our North Korean envoys. Even if today's incident did not happen, Daming would still do something to us. The difference is just a matter of time!"
The name of this middle-aged man was An Hena, who had served in the Korean Outer Court before, and had followed Han Dongdao to Daming.
After Han Dongdao banned Li Fangyuan, An He was promoted by Li Fangyuan to Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Inner Court. Judging by the official title of the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted directly from the sixth rank to the fourth rank.
"An Hena, you have been directly transferred from the outer court to the inner court, and your status can be said to have risen to the sky in one step, so naturally you have to speak for the general.
But in fact, there are some things you don't know! "
At first, I thought it was a thick leg, but in fact, I came to the edge of a cliff, and I might hang up at any time.
They knew that Han Dongdao was hiding something, so these guys used all their strength to try their best to understand what Han Dongdao was hiding.
After some investigation, they finally let them know what happened to Han Dongdao in Daming, and at the same time, they also knew that after Han Dongdao returned to China, he planned to imprison King Li Fangyuan and intend to replace him.
However, they also admitted that if Han Dongdao became the lord of a country, it would be more in the interests of them and their respective families.
So even in the face of the coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty and the Royalist faction, these officials still had illusions and had confidence in Han Dongdao, believing that the coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty and the Royalist faction would definitely be defeated.
However, the news of defeat and surrender in the next few days, and the fact that the coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty and the royalist faction were approaching the city this time, made those timid officials explode.
The guy who spoke just now is Song Seung-heon, the former Prime Minister of the Inner Court of the Kingdom of Korea. It can be said that he is second only to Li Fangyuan and Han Dongdao in the Kingdom of Korea.
If Song Seung-heon had not agreed with Han Dong-dao's rebellious move of banning Li Fang-yuan back then, he might not have reached the current situation at all.
Frowning and thinking about it carefully, Song Seung Hyun continued with a dark tone:
"General, the reason why I agreed with your rebellious act at the beginning is that it is in line with our interests, and the two are because we believe that you can free our North Korea from the fate of a vassal state and restore freedom!"
Among the people present, there were a few people who nodded silently. They also expected that their motherland could become an independent country, rather than relying on the bestowal of other emperors.
"Of course, breaking away from Ming Dynasty and becoming an independent country is a condition that must be fulfilled!"
