The Li Dynasty garrison along the coast of Kaijing was still on duty late at night. Kaijing was close to the sea. The troops stationed here were also elite and elite, because once this place was lost, the North Korean capital would be like being chained by the neck, and the entire kingdom would be in chaos.
Sergeant Li Chao, who was in charge of the investigation, looked into the distance. It was peaceful and peaceful, and the silver ocean was swaying under the starlight, without any ripples.
When he was about to report it to his superiors, he suddenly discovered that an unusual black line appeared on the sea and was gradually approaching the coast.
As the black line got closer and closer, the sergeant's forehead was dripping with sweat.
Those were clearly seventy-two Ming warships, large in scale and well-organized!
This is the earliest large-scale voyage fleet established in the world, and it is also an unprecedented maritime task force!
Different ships have different purposes. Some are used to carry cargo, some are used to transport grain, some are used for combat, and some are used for residence. The division of labor is detailed. Although their purposes are different, when they are organized together, there is no doubt that this is a fleet that can destroy a country.
On the sea, this Ming Navy is as intimidating as a fierce storm!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"A large number of enemy troops have appeared on the sea and are approaching quickly!"
"Enemy attack!"
…
"Master Guo, our division has arrived at the enemy's coastal area of Kaijing. The enemy's coastal garrison should have detected our division."
"knew."
Zheng He stood up and solemnly ordered, "The formation of the navy remains unchanged. The ship's cannons are aimed at the enemy's main line of defense. Don't be stingy and pour out artillery fire!"
"After three rounds of bombardment, only the non-mobilizable personnel will be left on standby on the ship. All remaining sergeants will land to occupy the opponent's defense line and control the position!"
"If the enemy's defense line is not controlled within two hours, everyone, including me, will beg Prince Qi to die!"
If the Ming Dynasty's most powerful navy cannot control North Korea's coastal positions within two hours, it can only mean one thing - all naval officers, including Zheng He, have left their heads at home. .
…
The King of Korea did not know that the Ming army had launched an attack by land and water.
On land, the elites of Liaodong have smashed the Li Dynasty's gate in Paektu Mountain, and are unstoppable in the Li Dynasty's territory, driving straight in.
On land and water, Zheng He personally led the navy, cut off the connection between Kaijing and Seoul, and launched a rapid attack on the coastal areas. If nothing happens, they will control the Li Dynasty's capital in two hours. land.
To put it simply, Zheng He's navy locked Li Chao from behind, preventing Li Chao from moving, and the Liaodong Army was like a sharp sword, piercing Li Chao's heart.
All this happened in an instant, and Li Chao didn't even have time to react.
The King of North Korea, Li Fangyuan, could not react. He was woken up in his sleep. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw the fire outside the window soaring into the sky!
The sound of fighting rang in his ears, and Li Fangyuan was shocked and angry: "What is this, what happened!"
The commander of the guards rushed in and shouted desperately: "Your Majesty! The crown prince Li Bao has conspired to rebel and led his troops into the palace. The palace's internal imperial army can hardly stop him!"….
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
King Li Fangyuan of North Korea was furious, "Don't you know how much that bastard Li Zhuo has? He only has so many people under his command. How dare he plot rebellion!"
Li Fangyuan himself won the throne by rebellion, so he was more afraid of the rebellion of his subordinates than anyone else. After taking the throne, he has been weakening everyone's military power and reforming the military system. Even Li Chen, the great king of Zhongning, did not escape the disaster.
Under such circumstances, even if the crown prince Li Zhen had the intention to rebel, he did not have the capital to do so. How could he fight his way into the palace and not even be able to stop the imperial guards guarding the King of Joseon?
"Your Majesty, it's entirely possible!" the guard commander reminded, "This time it's not just the troops loyal to the Crown Prince, but also the troops of the Min clan!"
Li Fangyuan’s doubts
He has a very serious heart, and he has the idea that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm others", so he is merciless even to those heroes who followed him to win the throne.
The Min family was the most powerful family in the Li Dynasty, with overwhelming power. Although they were suppressed by Li Fangyuan, they still had a high prestige in the military.
It is not unreasonable for Li Fangyuan to want to kill the Min family. The Min family has a very high voice among civil servants and controls an army that cannot be underestimated. Even the queen and the prince are members of the same family as the Min family.
However, how can the Min clan be willing to be treated as fat on the eucalyptus board? Since you, Li Fangyuan, can't tolerate us, then let's find a king who can tolerate us!
In the end, the internal fighting within the Joseon king's family, fueled by Jin Yiwei, led to today's rebellion.
The great ancestor of Joseon, Li Chenggui, started his career by rebelling. His son Li Bangyuan took away his throne by rebelling. Now his grandson Li Bao will also rely on rebellion to take away Li Fangyuan's throne. It sounds very reasonable.
"Rebellion, everything has been rebelled. Li Zhuo, a rebellious son, thanks to me, made him the crown prince. Is this how he repays me?" Li Fangyuan was furious and incompetent.
He seemed to have forgotten that when he made Li Zhen the crown prince, he only regarded his son as a tool for him to control power.
If they were really a harmonious family, even if Jin Yiwei had great ability, he would not be able to force Li Bao to rebel in such a short period of time.
"The situation is urgent. Please move quickly, Your Majesty. As long as you are still there, you can gather troops from various places to put down the rebellion!" The guard commander said anxiously, "I am willing to fight to the death here to cut off your rear and stop Li Bao's army! "
King Li Fangyuan of Joseon roared: "I won't leave! A mere Li Bao is nothing. If I can't surrender him, how can I be the king? I will fight that traitor till the end!"
Roaring and roaring, Li Fangyuan ran towards the secret passage at the back of the palace without even wearing shoes, shouting forcefully as he ran:
"General, don't stop me. I'm going to fight that treacherous son Li Zhen to the end!"
Guard commander: "..."
Li Fangyuan, you are such a beast, who the hell is stopping you, is it air?
You didn't have time to put on any shoes, you ran so fast with bare feet, and you shamelessly shouted that you wanted to fight the rebels to the end?
…
Li Fangyuan ran along the secret road. This secret road was built secretly by craftsmen after he became the king of Joseon. It could lead all the way to the outside of the palace. ….
After the construction of the secret passage was completed, all those involved in the construction, including the craftsmen who drew the blueprints, were secretly executed to ensure safety.
There are only three people who know this secret passage, one is Li Fangyuan himself, the other is the commander of the inner guard, and the last person is an ordinary official of Bingcao.
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
Yes, but this is indeed a bit strange. This person is not sleeping in the middle of the night, waiting at the exit of this passage? What a coincidence, right?
The Bingcao official raised his hands and saluted: "The flames in the palace were soaring into the sky and attracted people's attention. When I saw it, I knew that a big chaos had occurred, so I hurried here to wait. Now it seems that something happened in the palace."
Li Fangyuan became angry when he thought about it, forgetting even his doubts for the time being: "Li Zhuo, this bastard traitor, actually united with the Min family to plot rebellion. He will definitely die a hard death when we take back the palace. Forget it, let's not mention this for now. You quickly contact the troops in Gyeonggi Province, return to King Qin, and follow the others to suppress the rebellion!"
"I accept your order."
The Bingcao official suddenly remembered something and said to Li Fangyuan, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"We can wait until the rebellion is quelled to discuss anything. You go and gather the troops quickly!" Li Fangyuan said impatiently.
The Bingcao official shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I must speak now."
Li Fangyuan frowned slightly: "What on earth is going on? Tell me quickly."
The Bingcao official looked around and made sure that no one was around before slowly walking over: "Actually, I am..."
"What... uh..."
King Li Fangyuan of North Korea suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that the Bing Cao official was holding a short dagger and stabbed into his heart. Blood stained his chest.
He waved his arms, trying to push the bastard in front of him away, but his body couldn't use any strength at all, and his life force was flowing away quickly.
"Actually, I am a royal guard. Your Majesty, isn't this an important matter?"
With a calm expression, the Bingcao official twisted the dagger and crushed the heart of North Korean King Li Fangyuan. "My Prince Qi asked me to send you a message. I will kill you if you use the two big jars of kimchi you gave to my prince." My prince feels sorry for you."
"What... kimchi..."
King Li Fangyuan of North Korea looked confused. He only knew that the Bingcao official in front of him, whom he regarded as a confidant, was a female agent sent by the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty!
They're all bastards!
The King of Joseon, who could never trust anyone in his life, never imagined that the very few people he could trust were actually undercover!
Filled with reluctance and hatred, his consciousness gradually became faint, darkness appeared in front of his eyes, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably.
Lee Bang-won, King of Joseon, died.
Cause of death: Two big jars of pickles. .
Poor Atu
