News that Pyongyang was breached first reached Seoul.
Inside Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Li Fangyuan's face was gloomy, and he had to summon the ministers around him to continue discussing what could be done, but the court was in chaos again.
Li Fangyuan was still leading troops to garrison in the north, but his eldest son Li Zhen, brother-in-law Li Boxing and others were all killed in the battle. This made Li Fangyuan's heart very irritable now. His son was dead, so it was hard not to be irritable.
"I have already said that we should not confront the Ming Dynasty, we can only surrender!"
"It's good now. The Ming army is stronger than we thought. We really can't defeat it. It's too late to surrender now."
"If Goryeo is gone, we will not even have the chance to surrender."
"God bless Korea!"
…
The civil servant group headed by Park In-joon was now full of complaints, and various anti-war voices echoed in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and they looked extremely distressed.
The Ming army's combat power now severely slapped the main war faction in the face, but the civil servants were not surprised by this, but were worried.
It was said that Goryeo was about to perish.
He Lun and Li Zhan from the main fighting faction looked as gloomy as Li Fangyuan at this moment.
According to the military information sent back from the front line, the reason why Pyongyang was defeated so quickly, the Goryeo army was rubbed, and even Li Bao and Li Boxing died was because the Ming army relied on those super powerful firearms.
It is said that one shot can bring down the city wall.
Their faces could feel the pain from being beaten, but there was nothing they could do. According to the military information brought back by Li Fangqian, Goryeo might really be destroyed.
He Lun and the others were silent at this time. They were all civil servants and other anti-war people. They were talking a lot here, and all kinds of restless voices came out one after another in the main hall.
"enough!"
Li Fangyuan's heart was even more agitated at this time, and he couldn't help shouting angrily.
In the main hall, it became quiet.
"What else can we do now?"
Li Fangyuan looked at them and asked.
Everyone lowered their heads, unable to give an answer.
It's okay to let them talk about it, but now, no one can say what to do. Their self-confidence has long been destroyed by artillery fire. He Lun and Li Zhan are also silent.
Even if you surrender now, it's too late.
"Your Majesty, it's not good... it's not good."
At this moment, a soldier rushed in eagerly and said: "On the sea... Several large ships of unknown origin came from the sea. As soon as they arrived, they bombarded our Incheon Port with firearms. Now Incheon has fallen!"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned as if struck by thunder.
"What did you say?"
Li Fangyuan stood up suddenly and asked the soldier who sent the message in shock.
The soldier had no choice but to repeat what happened, and he became nervous and scared, and stood cautiously in front of Li Fangyuan.
Li Fangyuan felt dizzy for a while. This time it was really going to be over. They had lost their game, so they should not attack the Ming Dynasty or occupy the land of Liaodong.
Now the Ming Dynasty is serious and can destroy them.
Although the origin of the large ships at sea is unknown, who else but the Ming Navy can attack the Incheon Port from the sea at this moment?
The Ming army was determined to destroy them.
The two-pronged attack by land and water showed the determination of the Ming Dynasty to destroy the country.
It's really all over.
Li Fangyuan sat down weakly, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly.
Those civil servants began to discuss again, and the voices that they should surrender instead of resisting, and that Goryeo was about to be destroyed, continued to fill the entire Gyeongbokgung Palace.
"Your Majesty!"
He Lun and Li Zhan saw that Li Fangyuan was so lost that he couldn't even sit still, so they quickly walked over and helped him up.
That's all they can do now. No one can imagine that Ming Dynasty can be so powerful.
——
Liao Yong and his navy attacked, stayed for one night, and soon headed for Seoul.
After Ke Tianlang's army captured Pyongyang, it also began to advance southward. The two armies were approaching Seoul, making the Goryeo army panic even before the battle began.
Not only them, but the entire Goryeo was so frightened.
Zhu Xuan did not go to war, but he was able to get military information sent back from the front line, and finally got military information from Liao Yong. After landing, he got in touch with Ke Tianlang, and military information was sent back one after another.
"well-done!"
Zhu Xuan simply read it and nodded with satisfaction.
The destruction of Goryeo is imminent.
After traveling for more than ten years, more and more countries were destroyed by Zhu Xuan. He thought that he was about to become the ancient emperor who destroyed the most countries in the future.
"Your Highness!"
At this time, Yan Guan ran in and said: "There is a large army coming from Yingtian. Their leading general said that it was arranged by His Majesty to assist Dingliao Youwei in destroying Goryeo."
When Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to fight, he didn't know that Zhu Xuan was actually in Liaodong.
The army that came did not know that Zhu Xuan was here.
Zhu Xuan asked: "Where are they?"
But he was also surprised that the emperor could persuade the ministers to send troops to Goryeo.
Yan Guandao: "They arrived at Dingliao Right Guards. The leader is Li Jinglong, and the deputy is a young general named Sheng Yong."
Zhu Xuan's head was full of black lines when he heard the words "Li Jinglong".
How could Grandpa Huang allow the Ming God of War to fight as the main general?
However, Zhu Xuan could also understand that the veterans who had fought together in the past were all old and taking care of their grandchildren at home. He also suggested that young Wu Xun go north to experience and go to the battlefield in person.
Li Jinglong was a leader among the young warriors, the person with the highest status, but he had never been on the battlefield. He only had solid theoretical knowledge and could only talk on paper, so Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for him to come here.
As for Sheng Yong, Zhu Xuan also remembers him.
In the Battle of Jingnan, first with Geng Bingwen, and later with Li Jinglong, they surrendered to Zhu Di after the capital was captured. They defeated Zhu Di many times, and finally committed suicide because of certain problems.
Sheng Yong's ability to lead troops in combat should be higher than Li Jinglong's.
"Let him come here to meet me."
Zhu Xuan had no choice but to say.
The distance from Dingliao Youwei to the bank of the Yalu River is not very far.
Li Jinglong and the others set out in the morning and finally arrived in front of Zhu Xuan's military camp in the evening. They immediately took people to see Zhu Xuan and said, "I pay homage to His Highness. Why is Your Highness here?"
His title changed accordingly. He no longer called "Little Yunxuan" as before, and he no longer faced Zhu Xuan as his eldest cousin, after all, considering that Zhu Xuan might be the future emperor.
"I came back from the sea and passed by here."
Zhu Xuan said casually and then asked: "Grandpa Huang asked his eldest cousin to destroy Goryeo?"
"yes!"
Li Jinglong nodded repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty knows that Goryeo invaded our Ming Dynasty, and the front line in the north was stretched by many barbarians. The vassal kings had to deal with the Tatars and Jurchens and were unable to send troops to attack Goryeo, so he asked the ministers The troops are here, but..."
At this point, he paused and said with a flattering smile: "If I knew His Highness was here, I would have asked not to come. With Your Highness here, Goryeo should have been almost destroyed, right?"
