Li Fangyuan stared at the battle situation with a calm expression.
Rush in?
That's what soldiers do.
I am Duke Jing'an and the commander-in-chief, but I don't have a good body. Even after training at the seaside for several years, I can barely deal with three or five ordinary sergeants. Against the elite, one of them is enough.
If the battle requires you to charge with a knife, then this army will have little hope.
Sure enough, Li Fangqian was gradually unable to hold on anymore. There were not only fifty Jurchens in Jiabiechi's group, but more than a hundred people behind his team. This group of beast-like guys had no moves at all when fighting. They were just pure and simple. Win with strength.
The heavy stone hammer, with its tyrannical power, smashed and swept past, and few people could bear it.
Although the cavalry is strong, the horses cannot run and lose their mobility. The people on the opposite side are tall and the horses are big, so there is no advantage at all. With a sudden charge, not to mention the cavalry, even the horses will be killed. Smashed to death.
Rivers of blood flowed and corpses were everywhere.
The collapse of the wall expanded the scope of the battlefield.
These families used to brag about how close they were to the government and their good feng shui, but now they are really unlucky. Both the people of Duke Jing'an and Duke Huai'an are already jealous. Just look at it. Those who are alive will be killed if they are not one of our own, men, women, old people, children, there is not much difference.
Li Fangqian's hands were shaking. The tiger's mouth had been torn open and blood was flowing. The knife in his hand had been inserted into the belly of a horse. The person in front of him was Li Shufan, Li Fangyuan's confidant and the number one general!
Li Shufan pointed the tip of the knife in front of Li Fangqian's neck and shouted loudly: "Mr. Huai'an has been captured, put down your weapons and surrender!"
The voice cut through the noise. Seeing that their general had been captured, Li Fangqian's sergeants retreated one after another, no longer interested in fighting anymore.
Li Fangyuan stepped forward, looked at Li Fangyuan, put the tiger skin in his hand on Li Fangqian's body, and said calmly: "Now, this tiger skin will be returned to you."
Li Fangqian knelt on the ground dejectedly, feeling defeated.
Li Fangyuan walked past Li Fangqian and shouted to the hesitant soldiers: "Those who surrender will abandon their weapons and submit to me. They will live and be rich! If they don't surrender, they will die!"
Duke Huai'an Li Fangqian failed, so naturally he didn't have much wealth. As for the thousand gold and five hundred gold promised beforehand, there was no way to fulfill it. Looking around, if he continued to fight, he would lose his life.
That’s all.
Clang.
Weapons fell to the ground, sounds continued to be heard, and some war horses also whined.
After a street fight, Li Fangyuan ended Li Fangqian's core power, confiscated Li Fangqian's seal, and seized the power of Duke Huai'an. Then, Li Shufan and Helun went to the west city gate and persuaded Meng Zong and Li Chengqi to surrender. The two did not agree at first. When Li Fangqian, who was disheveled and defeated, was pulled to the city wall, they had no choice but to announce their surrender.
After integrating the team, Li Fangyuan did not return to Duke Jing'an's residence to rest. Instead, he led all his forces in Songjing, plus some city guards, totaling three thousand soldiers, to the palace in a mighty manner.
The palace guard was Li Fanguo's confidant Jin Yixiang. He went to the Ming Dynasty several times as an envoy. Although he failed to complete his mission and got back the canonization edict of the Ming Dynasty, he won Li Fanguo's trust with his flattery and hard work and was appointed as the palace guard.
Jin Yixiang stood on the city wall and looked at the approaching Li Fangyuan and his army. He broke into a cold sweat and ordered all the sergeants to be on guard. He stood on the city wall and shouted: "Mr. Jing'an, the king is not feeling well today. Please come back another day if you have something to do." .”
Li Fangyuan raised his head slightly, and then said to Li Shufan beside him: "Kill him."
Li Shufan activated his long bow, and an arrow flew out. Jin Yixiang was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the crenellations, trembling and unable to stand up, but shouted: "The city is under attack, the city is under attack, Duke Jing'an has rebelled. Kill me quickly, kill them!"
Yang Zhao, the deputy guarding the city, walked up to Jin Yixiang, pulled Jin Yixiang up with a smile, and said, "Gong Jing'an is about to enter the palace now. Do you plan to surrender, or do you plan to die with the king?"
"I……"
Jin Yixiang hesitated.
Yang Zhao shook his head slightly. The people in front of him were still considering personal gains and losses. North Korea has been in chaos for several years now. It cannot continue to be chaotic like this. No matter whether it is Duke Huai'an or Duke Jing'an, as long as there is a strong If someone comes to replace the incompetent Li Bangguo, that will be the blessing for the people of North Korea!
The most despised thing is this kind of guy who puts his personal interests above the interests of the country.
Yang Zhao didn't bother to ask anymore. With a strong arm, he threw Jin Yixiang directly from the city wall. The city wall was not high, just over a foot. Normally, there was still hope to survive by being crippled, but Jin Yixiang was just lucky. Not good, the back of the head hit the ground first.
This fall, no one can save him.
Yang Zhao ordered the palace gate to be opened, and the sergeants lined up and surrendered before Li Fangyuan.
Li Fangyuan was very satisfied and took control of the palace.
In the palace, Li Fanguo heard the news. The servants, maids, and concubines were all trembling and kneeling in the main hall, at a loss, waiting for the unknown fate.
Li Fangguo drew out his sword, and the concubine started to cry. yes
Kill them and then commit suicide?
Li Fanguo looked at the eyes of these people begging for life, and their pleading looks were so pitiful. They had tried their best to serve and entertain themselves, and even if they suffered a lot, they still wanted to make themselves happy.
And I want to kill them just because I am a loser.
The sword is very sharp.
Li Fangguo's eyes were bloodshot, he raised his sword and chopped it down!
Click!
Cut it in two!
"Let's go, let's all go, and run for your lives!"
Li Fanguo shouted.
The concubines, maids, and chamberlains looked at the severed table and cried loudly, but no one escaped. It's not that they don't want to, but the entire Songjing falls into Li Fangyuan's hands. Where can they escape?
Whether it was life or death, the person who spoke was not Li Fanguo, but the man who was walking over.
Li Fangyuan finally came, bringing only two people with him, He Lun and Li Shufan.
Li Fanguo stood on the high platform with his sword in hand, looking at Li Fangyuan unyieldingly, and said: "I know that this day will come sooner or later. Li Fangyuan, are you here to kill me?"
Li Fangyuan looked at Li Fanguo's sword. There was no blood on it. There were still cries in the hall behind.
"Second brother, put away your sword. You are not a person who can kill."
Li Fangyuan said in a deep voice.
Li Fangguo's wrists trembled a little, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How many more people are you going to kill for the sake of this throne?"
Li Fangyuan replied indifferently: "How many people? This question does not depend on me, but on you. You should know that you are not suitable to be a king. You are weak-tempered, do not distinguish between loyal and traitorous, and never figure out your own solutions when things happen, but Are you worthy of being the king of North Korea, relying on this person, that person, and having no independent opinions? If North Korea is in your hands, will there be a future?"
Li Fanguo shouted angrily: "At least I didn't kill my brother!"
Li Fangyuan sneered: "Yes, my hands are stained with the blood of my brothers, but you have also read history books. In the Tang Dynasty, it was Li Shimin who killed his brothers and achieved great achievements!"
"Do you also want to become Taizong?"
Li Fanguo's face turned pale.
Li Fangyuan took a step forward: "Why not! I, Li Fangyuan, am determined to be Taizong!"
Li Fanguo looked at Li Fangyuan with a murderous look on his face, and finally realized that this man had been dormant and waiting for an opportunity. His idol was Li Shimin, and he also wanted to be like Li Shimin!
The first step in Li Shimin's rise was the Xuanwumen Incident, which involved killing his brother and forcing his father! And Li Fangyuan's first step was to kill his younger brother and brother (he thought Li Fangqian was dead) and force his brother!
He's here, it's time for him to be king.
Li Fangyuan walked up to Li Fanguo and said seriously: "When things have come to this point, let it end. Give up the throne and hand over the country to me. You can honestly be a duke."
"What if not?"
Li Fanguo insisted.
Li Fangyuan sighed, looked at the people in the hall, and said: "If you don't do this, then I will have to write an edict myself, announcing that you will surrender to me. Of course, they will all die if you do this."
Li Fangguo struggled again and again, and finally dropped the sword: "I'm not surrendering to you, but I don't want so many more people to die."
Li Fangyuan smiled.
Soon after, Li Fangyuan received Li Fanguo's edict of abdication, and then took the edict and went to see the Supreme King Li Chenggui. Li Chenggui saw that Li Fanqian and Li Fanguo were not dead, and at this time Li Fangyuan took control of the entire Songjing City, so he drafted a plan. An imperial edict was issued to confer him the title of Crown Prince.
With the status of the crown prince, and then taking out the edict of abdication, Li Fangyuan became the master of Songjing City in this status, and truly began to control North Korea.
In order to consolidate his power, Li Fangyuan exiled Li Fanqian and Li Fanguo. He also killed Pu Bao, who had advised Li Fangan, and promoted his cronies to take power. At the same time, he summoned back Zhao Jun, the former left-wing political prime minister who had retired and returned home. Zhao Jun's daughter was betrothed to Zhao Jun's son, allowing him to serve as Zuo Zhengcheng again.
At this point, Zhao Jun and He Lun have become Li Fangyuan's advisers.
Zhao Jun believed that the succession of the Joseon Kingdom must be canonized by the Ming Dynasty, so Li Fangyuan sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to seek canonization.
Li Fangyuan asked worriedly: "Li Fangguo has been on several missions but has not been canonized. Now that I have just assumed power, can the emperor of the Ming Dynasty canonize me?"
In fact, although Li Fangguo obtained the throne after the First Prince Rebellion, after all, with Li Chenggui's permission, he can be regarded as the real king. Compared with Li Fanguo's throne, Li Fangyuan's origins are even more shady.
Zhao Jun disagreed and said confidently: "This time, that time. When Li Fanguo was there, the king and Duke Huai'an controlled the eight soldiers and horses. Now there is only the king, no one is decentralizing power. The country has been settled, the people's hearts have been settled, and the Ming Dynasty has Is there any reason to refuse?”
Li Fangyuan pondered for a long time, and finally accepted Zhao Jun's opinion. He found Li Zhan, the official of the three armed forces, who signed the letter, and ordered him: "On this mission, you must ask the Emperor of Heaven for canonization. In order to help you succeed, you can come from the military camp." , carrying eighty war horses as an envoy."
Li Zhan agreed, accepted Li Fangyuan's credentials, and went to find someone to prepare for his mission. By this time, it was already mid-November.
The change of throne within North Korea did not seem to have much impact on Ming Dynasty, but this was not the case. Li Fangguo was incompetent, which meant he was easy to bully. Ming Dynasty could have bullied him, but because Li Fangguo was about to be unlucky, he did not bully him. . But Li Fangyuan, who is now in power, is not someone who is easily bullied.
Li Fangyuan is ambitious. This ambition is not to conquer foreign countries, but to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and make the country peaceful and peaceful. In other words, he wants to create a "Zhenguan Dynasty" in North Korea.
But nothing comes easy in the prosperous age. If you put in a lot of effort, it won't hurt your back.
The first person to cause Li Fangyuan back pain was the Japanese pirates.
The problem of Japanese pirates was not a special problem only in the Ming Dynasty. Long before Zheng He drove the Dafu ship to fight against Japanese pirates, Li Fangyuan stood in Jeolla Province and Busan, looking at the sea to fight against Japanese pirates.
The problem of Japanese pirates is not too serious now, but they still come from time to time.
Li Fangyuan did not want Japanese pirates to come uninvited, and considering the many internal problems in North Korea, he abolished the private military system since Goryeo and implemented a unified government military system with a stroke of pen.
Genius monarchs are all similar. Their first sword is military.
