Chapter 590: The King of Joseon Surrenders (2)

Outside the city, seeing that the artillery bombardment was almost over, it gave the Korean king and the Korean army inside the city enough deterrence.

"Stop shelling!" Huang Degong ordered to stop the shelling.

The fierce shelling stopped suddenly, and the Korean soldiers who were hiding with their heads on the city wall slowly walked out tremblingly, and some people stretched out their heads to look outside the city, and saw that the Ming army did not leave, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly squatted down with their heads in their hands.

"The Korean army in the city listens, immediately let the Korean king come out, our army commander wants to see him!"

"The Korean army in the city listens," several Ming soldiers rode their horses to a place just a dozen meters away from the city wall, and kept shouting into the city.

The shouts of the Ming soldiers came in, and gradually another Korean soldier stood up tremblingly.

Several rank-and-file North Korean soldiers looked at their general.

The general did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered his soldiers to go and inform the king.

Where the king of Joseon was, the Ming army suddenly stopped shelling, which also made the king of Joseon and General Han extremely puzzled.

Could it be that the Ming army is gone? This thought only flashed in their minds, and the king of Joseon and General Han shook their heads immediately, knowing that the Ming army would never retreat and that something must have happened.

"Newspaper"

"Your Majesty, the Ming army outside the city has sent a message, let the king come forward to talk!" There were soldiers of the Korean army who reported the shouts of the Ming army to the king of Joseon.

The king of Joseon was stunned for a moment, then sighed decadently, tidied up his clothes, and prepared to go to the city wall to see what the Ming army had to say to him.

"Your Majesty, don't, beware of deceit!" General Han stopped the king of Joseon and persuaded him.

The king of Joseon shook his head and said: "The matter has come to this point, what can be deceitful, the Ming army will not kill the widow in such a way." ”

Itorwon County is not a big county, even Pyongyang and Seoul can't stop the attack of the Ming army, and Nowwon County can't stop the attack of the Ming army.

General Han suddenly sighed and let go of the arm of the king of Joseon, but went to the city wall with the king of Joseon.

Climbing the city wall, the king of Joseon has regained his calm, and the fear in his heart has calmed down a lot, which is rare.

"Outside the city, what do you have to say about finding a widow?" The king of Joseon looked at Huang Degong under the city and asked in a flat tone.

Huang Degongce immediately took a few steps forward, and his sharp old eyes looked directly at the Korean king on the city wall.

"The King of Joseon! My emperor has a will, North Korea has been given the name of the country by the Ming Dynasty, the past dynasties are deeply favored by the Ming Dynasty, and do not think of returning, Yongle Jing is difficult to forcibly occupy my Tielingwei, in the past years, Wanli in North Korea is about to destroy the country, regardless of the past still sent troops to help North Korea repel the Japanese and keep the country, but from the end of Wanli to the early years of Chongzhen, North Korea was ungrateful, turned its back on the Ming Dynasty and took refuge in the Manchu Dynasty, disloyal and unjust, my emperor severed the relationship with the Korean vassals, and ordered North Korea to return to the Tieling Wei Xianxing Mansion and other places belonging to the Han people within a time limit, North Korea refused to return, and my emperor was furious, Sending us and others to lead an army of 100,000 to destroy Korea has shown the majesty of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Now, Seoul has been captured by my Ming Dynasty, the king of Korea, my emperor gives you two ways, one is to surrender immediately out of the city, my emperor is benevolent and righteous, and reserves a marquis for you to have no worries about food and clothing in the future! The other is to resist to the end, and at that time, our army will not leave any mercy! ”

The king of Joseon staggered back, no matter whether Huang Degong was right or wrong, no matter how high-sounding the law, it was meaningless for him to refute it or not, and it could not change the outcome of Korea's defeat

At this time, Huang Degong had just finished speaking, and as soon as his hand was raised, a soldier immediately pressed a woman and two children to the front of the battle.

"Queen! Child! The king of Korea looked at the woman and two children who were pressed under the city by the Ming soldiers, and his face turned even paler, because it was his queen and two sons, Seoul was captured by the Ming army, and the palace was naturally not spared, and all the Li royal families in Seoul were captured by the Ming army.

Huang Degong recruited the king of Joseon and the last of the defeated soldiers of Joseon in order to defeat the soldiers, and brought the queen of the king of Joseon and two children with him.

"King of Joseon, I'll give you a cup of tea time to think, after a cup of tea, if you haven't left the city and surrendered, my army will begin to attack the city and break through Itora County!" Huang Degong shouted to the king of Joseon.

On the city wall, the king of Joseon gritted his teeth, and his face kept changing.

"Wangshang" General Han also gritted his teeth, his face was full of anger, the Ming army was determined to destroy North Korea, once the king went out of the city and surrendered, it means that North Korea will be destroyed from now on, General Han is loyal to the king of Korea, and he is even more loyal to the Korean dynasty, and he doesn't want to see North Korea perish anyway.

General Han really wanted to resist to the end, but unfortunately he was not the king of Joseon and could not make decisions in place of the king of Joseon.

The Ming army outside the city was eyeing the enemy, and the morale of the Korean soldiers outside the city was low, and the situation was already extremely obvious.

The king of Korea had no choice, the capital fell, hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, and the 100,000 troops in Itorwon County would definitely not be able to escape the clutches of the Ming army, it was not difficult for him to guess that the other routs must have been captured by the Ming army in large numbers, and they lost hundreds of thousands of young and strong vitality, and North Korea was no longer able to resist the Ming Dynasty, except to surrender, he had no other choice, and there was no other choice for the down.

"Pass the widow's order, open the city gate, and surrender to the Ming army!" After saying this, the king of Joseon felt that his heart was suddenly relieved, these days, in order to resist the Ming army and flee for his life, he was too tired, and he tried his best, after all, he could not avoid the end of North Korea in his hands.

"King" General Han gritted his teeth and was very unwilling.

"Needless to say, I don't want to see more innocent people die in vain, so go and carry out the order immediately, North Korea, dead!" said the Kingdom of Joseon.

North Korea is dead! When these few words came out of the mouth of the king of Korea, North Korea is really dead!

General Han's expression instantly darkened, and finally he sighed and went to carry out the order of the king of Joseon.

On August 4, the seventh year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, the king of Korea walked out of the county town of Itora and surrendered to the Ming army, accompanied by the 100,000 Korean troops who fled to the county town of Itora with the king of the Joseon dynasty.

Since then, North Korea has poured all the strength of the whole country into gathering all the troops and ninety percent of the young and strong forces to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army outside Seoul, and was defeated in a battle, and hundreds of thousands of Korean young and strong troops were wiped out, and North Korea no longer has any resistance uh strength, and North Korea is equivalent to extinction at this moment.

After capturing the king of Joseon, he also captured the last of the Korean routs, and the Joseon had completely lost its resistance, and the next step was to pursue and destroy the remnants of the Tokugawa Iegang and other Japanese who had fled from Jiuunling.
