Chapter 326 There is no scandal in Sungkyunkwan
Shen Shijun said again: "It's a dilemma... it's a dilemma..."
Li 㴏 was an understanding person, and then said: "The student knows what the teacher means, but the Ming army has already arrived, and the Jin people have also failed. I think back then, the imperial city fell several times during the Japanese rebellion, and it was only through the Ming army that it was possible to fight back. We have always regarded the Ming Dynasty as our suzerainty, and now that the Ming army has landed in North Korea again, it is an opportunity for us in North Korea."
Shen Shijun frowned: "I know that the Ming Dynasty also has too much time to take care of itself. The Jin people took away their Liaodong, and now there are two courts in the Ming Dynasty. Which court sent these reinforcements?
The two imperial courts are also fighting..."
However, Li Jie couldn't care about that much, so he said: "Teacher, there is no need to think about the long term. Look at the present first. The Jin people's failure is already doomed. If the Ming army recaptures Seoul, my father will be able to regain power in North Korea."
"It's impossible for Mrs. Zhao Haiyuan to agree."
The reason why Shen Shijun secretly met with Li Li was also because of this matter, but they did not expect that the Jinren would fail.
Naturally, the two Yiwei military attachés would not participate in this. They are both warriors. Li Ji turned to look at Han Jinzhe: "Are the people from Yiwei Division reliable?"
Han Jinzhe bowed his head and saluted: "I will guarantee..."
"Well..." Li Yi responded, and then looked at Shen Shijun: "Teacher, if you go by what you said, the Jin man will take his anger out on his father after his failure. Should we make preparations?"
Although Shin Seok-joon was only a senior scholar, he was a figure second only to the leader of political affairs, the judge of six cao and the training of the chief eunuch in North Korean official circles. He was a top-notch existence among North Korean scholars and scholars: "Zhao Dongxue was cunning. , you can first take the Li Cao judgement, Jin Zhengmin, and then take the Li Cao document and ask the chief inspector Pu Zhengxin to go to the Li Cao Yamen to discuss important matters. Pu Zhengxin must believe that he can ambush people in the Li Cao and capture this person."
"Where is Zhao Dongxue?"
Shen Shijun looked at Li Li: "His daughter is the king's concubine. This matter may have to be decided by you, the crown prince..."
.
Seoul has been renovated. Compared with domestic city walls, its height is only the height of Huating City in Songjiang. It is neither too big nor too small.
Chen Cao rode on his horse and looked at the closed gates of Seoul. He suddenly felt a little shabby. It was still the capital of a country, but its momentum was not even comparable to that of the nearly deserted Imperial City of Nanjing.
"Report... Your Majesty, the Pioneer Regiment of the 52nd Division is only ten miles east of Seoul."
"Zhang Yingwu so fast?" Chen Cao frowned, then smiled: "This guy is still thinking about the rumors from the past..."
In order to prove that he was not relying on nepotism, Zhang Yingwu naturally had to show his capable side on the battlefield.
The artillery was still behind him. When Chen Cao arrived in Seoul, he asked his men to set up camp. With the help of artillery and muskets, the Seoul in front of him did not catch Chen Cao's eyes at all.
Airli looked at the tower for a long time, and then looked at Erlan behind him with an angry look on his face: "Go and catch Li Zhu."
"Master, that is the King of Korea..."
Airli sneered: "After today, he will no longer be..."
Erlan thought for a while and nodded: "Cha..."
The field artillery was the first to be pushed to the front of the formation. The North Korean artillery was also captured during the previous landing on the north bank. However, because their artillery killed many soldiers of the First Division, Xin Laosan was so angry that he ordered all the artillery pieces to be fired. All the cannons sank into the Han River.
Chen Cao didn't care, because this kind of general cannon was now an expired product, and even the Shenwu cannon equipped in Liang Fan was about to be eliminated.
The five field guns had been deployed. After the shells were pushed into the barrel, they were waiting for Chen Cao's order. From time to time, billowing smoke came out of Seoul, as well as sporadic gunshots and shouts of killing.
Chen Cao immediately raised his telescope and looked over, only to see a crowd of people on top of the city, and the slave builders seemed a little panicked.
Chen Cao looked at Wen Wu next to him in confusion: "What's going on?"
Xu Fuyuan looked at it: "Perhaps there are people in Seoul who are dissatisfied with the oppression of slaves and chose to fight anyway."
Chen Cao looked at Li Yan next to him: "Who might Ayara-kun be?"
Li Li frowned and replied: "After the slaves were stationed in Seoul, the two groups of nobles became much more honest. It is impossible for the private soldiers to make such a big move. The only soldiers under the king's control now seem to be the soldiers and horses of the Inner Third Hall and the Shi Ziyi Guards. There is also the Dragon Tiger Camp, but the general of the Dragon Tiger Camp is a member of Zhao Dongxue, so it is impossible to participate."
"fire..."
Chen Cao didn't care so much. Since there was turmoil in the city, it was very likely that someone had chosen to rebel and wanted to open the city. The only person Chen Cao could think of was Li Zhu himself.
'Dong dong dong...'
The field artillery of the artillery array was powerful, and several shells flew towards the gate tower of Seoul, all hitting the city wall.
The violent explosion blew up the slave soldiers and Korean puppet troops on the city wall, making them cry for their parents and flee frantically.
"Prepare to attack..."
The Pioneer Regiment of the First Division marched towards Seoul with neat steps and guns on their shoulders. Their military appearance was so rigorous that the Ayara Lord Li Li next to him was frightened.
Such serious teachers can only be found in heaven.
These were Li Yan's inner thoughts, but he didn't dare to say it. After all, he was also a descendant of the Joseon royal family. Although he wanted to get the throne of Joseon, he couldn't show some strange thoughts, otherwise he would be recorded by historians.
Chen Cao didn't know that Li Yan was already dreaming of becoming the king of Korea. Not long after, Feng Zhongping, who was supervising the battle from the front, returned quickly: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a turmoil in Seoul. It seems that the Korean army and Jiannu were fighting."
Chen Cao was stunned, glanced at Li Yan who was two or three horses behind him, and then said in a cold voice: "We will wait until they decide the outcome. Send an order that no more cannons can be fired from the artillery array."
Chen Cao's current purpose is to consume the effective forces within North Korea. Now he doesn't know who is secretly attacking Jiannu, but the saying that the enemy of his enemy is his friend is absolutely correct, so he is optimistically prepared to enjoy the gains.
After receiving the order, the leader of the vanguard regiment ordered all 1,500 people in the regiment to stop a hundred steps in front of the city gate, quietly waiting for the battle situation in the city.
An hour later, Chen Cao's buttocks were numb. The Seoul city gate finally slowly opened in front of the vanguard group. A group of people dressed as Korean soldiers covered in blood opened the city gate.
Zuo Yiwei Han Jinzhe walked out of the crowd covered in blood with a knife in hand. The leader of the forward group could not speak Korean, so he took Han Jinzhe to the front line commander Feng Zhongping.
When Chen Cao saw Han Jinzhe, Li Er came up to him. Obviously he knew him.
"Han Jinzhe? It's you? What happened in the city?"
Li Yan naturally recognized the guard generals around the crown prince of North Korea, Li Yi. Like the Ming Dynasty, military positions in North Korea were also hereditary.
Han Jinzhe knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Er: "The last general was ordered by the prince to attack the Jin soldiers. Now he has taken over the power of guarding Seoul. He opened the door to welcome the Ming Dynasty king's army."
Li Fu nodded and introduced Han Jinzhe to Chen Cao, and then told Chen Cao everything that happened in Seoul.
It turned out that after Shen Shijun and Li Li had negotiated, Han Jinzhe led a hundred and fifty people from the Yiwei Division to raid Kim Zhengmin's residence. After detaining Kim Zhengmin, he met with Shen Shijun's servants and contacted all the knowledgeable people in the city. A total of 500 people broke into Pu Zhengxin's training superintendent's office. At that time, Pu Zhengxin was not in the government office, but the deputy superintendent and others were there. So Han Jinzhe took the seal of the superintendent's office according to the plan and mobilized The imperial army's Longhu Camp in the Seoul campus, the general of Longhu Camp, Zhao Anmin, was a member of Zhao Dongxue, so he refused to obey the imperial edict;
The crown prince Li Yi arrived at Longhu Camp under the escort of Kong Cheng. Han Jinzhe killed Zhao Anmin in the name of rebellion and seized the command of Longhu Camp. With the appearance of Li Yi again, the deputy general of Longhu Camp had no choice but to ask for help. Li Ji pledged his allegiance, and Han Jinzhe temporarily took over as the general of Longhu Camp;
Zhao Dongxue had many eyes, and he soon learned about the news that the crown prince Li Yi had seized military power. At this critical moment after the Ming Dynasty army landed in Inchon and attacked under Seoul, it was a very problematic sign for the crown prince to suddenly seize military power; so Zhao Dongxue hurriedly After discussing with Park Zhengxin, the two found Aire together.
With the 3,000-strong army of the Longhu Camp, Li Jie's strength greatly increased. On the one hand, he gathered with Shin Seok-jun and others who controlled the Yijin Mansion to arrest the North Korean officials who had defected to the slaves. On the other hand, he sent Han Jinzhe to lead thousands of troops to start a counterattack on the slaves in the city. .
Both the officials and the common people in Seoul and the Forbidden Army guarding the palace city have long been hating Airli and others. After Han Jinzhe attacked the palace city, the generals such as the Imperial Guard Battalion and the Yulin Guard who guarded the palace city drew their swords one after another. , beheaded Zhao's supervisory officials and then followed Han Jinzhe on a killing spree.
Han Jinzhe's number of troops increased from less than 5,000 to more than 10,000. The streets in Seoul were narrow and it was difficult to run horses. In addition, Li Zhu was detained by Alley, and the Ming army was arrayed outside the city. Zhao Dongxue He decisively suggested that Airli abandon Seoul and take Li Zhu to Bukhan Mountain City to defend and wait for reinforcements.
After hearing this, Chen Cao looked at Han Jinzhe: "Where is Mr. Li?"
Chen Cao's identity was that of King Liang of the Ming Dynasty, which belonged to the prince level. Although he was equal to Li Zhu, the status of the suzerain country was higher than that of North Korea, so Chen Cao directly called Li Zhu by his first name.
Han Jinzhe babbled and Gao Chong then translated.
"The king was kidnapped by the Jin people and taken to Bukhan Mountain City. The Jin people looted Gyeongbokgung Palace before leaving."
Chen Cao glanced at the smoking Seoul and then waved: "Enter the entire army and take over the defense of Seoul."
