Zhu Di also looked at Bian Anlie.
Bian Anlie felt happy that he had made the right bet.
"Reporting to His Royal Highness King Yan, and this Guo Changshi, although the last general is not accepted by the powerful people of Goryeo, he is even somewhat rejected.
However, the last general was given Korean citizenship by the King of Korea, and he was considered half Korean.
Moreover, he had served as a general in Goryeo for many years, and he had some close friends and subordinates of Goryeo. Many Goryeo people also believed in the general.
The most important thing is that I also know some Han people who are officials in Goryeo. As long as we serve His Highness. The people of Goryeo will not have much resistance to some of the government orders issued by His Highness!
…”
Guo An smiled faintly and continued to ask: "Goryeo learns the knowledge of my Ming Dynasty, uses my Ming Dynasty title, wears my Ming Dynasty clothes, respects my Ming Dynasty as the suzerain state, and the people of Goryeo will not understand any decree issued by my Highness King Yan. There’s so much resistance!”
Bian Anlie smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, Guo Changshi doesn't know something. When the King of Goryeo was recruiting troops to attack Liaodong, the King of Goryeo had already ordered to stop using the Hongwu reign name of the Ming Dynasty, abolish Han clothes, and wear Hu clothes!"
"So capricious, what Guo Qing said is true, these barbarians are afraid of power but not virtue!"
Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened.
"Come here, let Wang Yu re-issue the decree, continue to use my Ming Dynasty Hongwu reign name, and restore the Hanfu system!"
"Here!"
On the side, a clerk responded and walked out quickly.
Zhu Di looked at Bian Anlie and said, "General Bian can serve as a guard for Korea."
Bian Anlie's face was full of joy, "I will definitely live up to His Highness's kindness!"
In Goryeo, the servant under the gate is the prime minister, and the servant under the guard is the deputy prime minister!
However, Zhu Di had already confiscated Cui Ying's family and exterminated her family, although Cui Ying was still outside.
However, Byeon-ryeol is now the most powerful official in Goryeo.
"Come here, let the King of Korea issue a decree and be promoted to the Third Secretary of the Yuan Dynasty. The former Lord of the Sichuan Palace, An Lie, will serve as the gatekeeper!"
"yes!"
The person who answered this time was a scholar brought by Guo An from the academy.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Bian Anlie said with gratitude again.
Zhu Di nodded slightly and said, "Does Bian Qing have any heirs?"
Bian Anlie said quickly: "Reporting to Your Highness, I have three sons, the eldest son Bian Xian, the second son Bian Yi, and the youngest son Bian Yu.
Bian Xian's minister is studying and studying martial arts. Although he doesn't have much talent, he can speak Chinese and has a strong body. The minister requests your highness to let him protect your highness, so that he can make great contributions to your highness in the future..."
"Very good!"
Zhu Di did not refuse, but said: "In this case, let Bian Xian take charge of Baihu first!"
Bian Anlie was a little frightened, "Your Highness, you must not do this. Dogs don't have that kind of talent, and they can easily delay your Highness's important events!"
"It doesn't matter, the matter is settled like this!"
Zhu Di smiled faintly and looked at Bian Anlie, "Mr. Bian, although I intend to live in the King of Goryeo, I do not want to let it decline.
And I cannot trust the original Goryeo dignitaries. Therefore, if there are talented officials who are close to you, you can recommend them to me..."
Bian Anlie felt happy and responded repeatedly.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely find some talented ministers for Your Highness!"
When Bian Anlie left, Guo An couldn't help but congratulate Zhu Di.
"Congratulations to Your Highness. Your Highness was worried that there was no one available. Unexpectedly, Bian Anlie came here!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly and said quietly: "This person is very smart, but we still need to send someone to find out his details!"
Guo Andao: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the details of this person are easy to find out. All we need to do is ask Shang Kezhou and Chang Guoting and other scholars to detain those Goryeo dignitaries separately and question them one by one!"
Shang Kezhou and Chang Guoting were two of the thirty scholars who could speak Korean.
Zhu Di said with some emotion: "I never thought that a few scholars could play such a big role!"
Guo An replied: "The scholars they trained for His Highness's academy should serve His Highness."
Zhu Di added: "Guo Qing, remember, there are hundreds of such poor scholars in the academy."
Guo An replied: "Your Highness has a good memory, but please forgive me. Every scholar has his own ideas. I can't guarantee that hundreds of poor scholars will be like Shang Kezhou and Chang Guoting." Waiting for someone so loyal and talented!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Zhu Di smiled softly, "As long as there is an academy, it will definitely provide us with a steady stream of energy for Prince Yan's Mansion to cultivate talented people like Zhou and Chang Guoting.
This king has decided to recruit these thirty people, Shang Kezhou and Chang Guoting, to serve as scribes for the history department of Prince Yan, and Guo Qing will lead them personally. "
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An agreed.
Zhu Di looked at Guo An deeply and said with a serious face: "Guo Qing, I want to turn the entire King of Goryeo into the city of our Prince Yan's palace!"
Guo An looked serious and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will do my best!"
"good……"
…
In fact, it was really simple for Ming Dynasty to conquer Goryeo.
From top to bottom, Goryeo has been learning from the Central Plains for hundreds of years and wearing Hanfu from the Ming Dynasty.
Although there is suspicion of Mu Qiang.
However, these actions of Goryeo are basically about to Chineseize their entire country.
The entire Goryeo Kingdom, except for those powerful and ambitious people with strong selfish desires.
Very few people feel disgusted with Ming people.
Even, there will be some feeling of flattery.
Goryeo is easy to conquer...
This is the conclusion Guo An came to after traveling around the capital of Goryeo.
In just one day, Bian Anlie found Zhu Di more than a dozen trustworthy Korean ministers.
These ministers, including Bian Anlie, and Zhu Di also asked Shang Kezhou and Chang Guoting to inquire with five Goryeo dignitaries respectively.
The conclusion is that all these Goryeo officials can be used.
Subsequently, Zhu Di allowed the gates of the King of Goryeo to be opened.
However, the common people and merchants in Goryeo Royal Capital were allowed to enter and exit at will, and Goryeo Royal Capital began to regain its prosperity.
This move made the people of Goryeo have a good impression of Zhu Di, the king of Yan in the Ming Dynasty.
On the third day.
Zhu Di also asked Bian Anlie to recruit five thousand Korean soldiers, but these Korean soldiers needed to be recruited from ordinary Korean people.
During this period, no official from the surrounding Goryeo city came to King Goryeo with a large army.
Zhu Di and Guo An were both relieved.
at the same time.
Among the armies far north of Goryeo, Li Chenggui had already crossed the Yalu River with an army of 60,000.
However, the further north he marched, the more difficult it became. First, there was not enough food to eat, and it could not be transported to the rear.
Furthermore, even the soldiers' pay was insufficient.
Many soldiers don't want to fight.
Seeing this, Li Chenggui frowned and couldn't help but write a letter again, asking his teacher to return to the court.
With the army in this state, it is impossible to defeat the Ming army.
When the letter was sent, Li Chenggui sighed helplessly.
"Owner!"
However, as soon as Li Chenggui sat down, he saw the confidant who had delivered the letter rushing back in a hurry.
Li Chenggui frowned and asked, "Why did you come back again?"
The confidant quickly reported: "The Fourth Young Master is here!"
"Fangqian?"
Li Chenggui frowned slightly.
Before Li Chenggui could ask, a young man who looked similar to Li Chenggui ran in from outside the tent: "Father, something big happened to Wang Jing!"
Li Chenggui asked: "Fang Qian, why are you here? What happened to Wang Jing?"
Li Fangqian quickly replied: "Father, King Yan of the Ming Dynasty has invaded Wangjing with an army of 10,000 people!"
"What?"
Li Chenggui was shocked and his face was full of disbelief.
"How could King Yan of the Ming Dynasty attack Goryeo? Moreover, there were not only Bian Anlie and other military generals in Wang Jing, but also nearly 40,000 troops, plus the private soldiers of those powerful people, how could the Ming Dynasty be defeated by 10,000 people? The army invaded Wang Jing?"
Li Fang said: "Father, I don't know, but it seems that King Yan of the Ming Dynasty came to ask for the two hundred and one thousand taels of silver from the king, and he invaded Wang Jing in less than a day..."
When Li Fangqian told everything he heard, Li Chenggui was furious.
"That group of trash can't defeat the 10,000 Ming army, and they can't even defend the capital! Even the king was captured by the Ming King Yan..."
"Father, calm down!"
Li Chenggui just glanced at Li Fangqian and shouted outside.
"Come here, please quickly invite the Commander-in-Chief of Caodu!"
"Here!"
"Go and deliver the order, the army collects all the supplies such as food and supplies, and returns to Wang Jing with my general!"
"Here!"
As the messengers outside began to deliver orders, the entire army camp began to become noisy.
Most of the soldiers and generals were full of joy.
After a while.
Cao Minxiu, the commander-in-chief of the Zuo Army, walked in anxiously.
"Brother Li, why did you return to the army so suddenly? But the king gave an order?"
Li Chenggui said in a deep voice: "Brother Cao, the dog has come to report that Wang Jing was captured by the troops led by King Yan of the Ming Dynasty. Not one of the king, you or my clan members escaped!"
Cao Minxiu looked in disbelief, "What? How is this possible? Just for a mere two hundred and one thousand taels of silver, how could King Yan come so far to attack Goryeo? Moreover, Wang Jing has so many soldiers guarding him..."
"Report!"
At this time, another soldier rushed in with his face full.
"Reporting to the two commander-in-chief, there are envoys from Wang Jing coming with the king's decree!"
Li Chenggui and Cao Minxiu looked at each other and said hurriedly: "Bring him in quickly!"
"Here!"
Soon, a miserable-looking Goryeo official ran in.
Seeing Li Chenggui and Cao Minxiu, they burst into tears.
"Li Yuanjun, Cao Yuanjun, the sky is falling... King Yan of the Ming Dynasty broke through Wang Jing, captured the king, and forced the king to write a letter of credence, asking all the officials and dignitaries in Goryeo to surrender to him, King Yan...
Now, all the dignitaries in the capital have fallen into the hands of King Yan of the Ming Dynasty..."
"Brother Cao, you have personally met King Yan of the Ming Dynasty. What is the temperament of King Yan of the Ming Dynasty? Now King Yan of the Ming Dynasty only has more than 10,000 troops. Can we attack all the troops of the Ming Dynasty like we attacked the red scarf bandits? To be killed?"
"Brother Li, please don't be impulsive. King Yan of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not a reckless person like the red scarf thief..."
"Oh, no matter what, I'll wait until we return to Wang Jing first!"
"Huh, this is all the fault of that traitor Cui Ying. If he hadn't insisted on sending troops to attack Liaodong and left Wang Jing empty, how could Wang Jing be taken advantage of by King Yan of the Ming Dynasty..."
"If the king has any shortcomings, Cui Ying must pay for it with her life..."
"Exactly, you and I will capture it first and return to the capital with all the soldiers and generals. If the King of Yan asks for the crime, we can let the Cui thief take the blame..."
Li Chenggui and Cao Minxiu cursed with heartache on their faces. They first went to Pyongyang to capture Cui Ying, and then led the army to Wangjing.
