Chapter Twenty-Three: Good News Enters Seoul
On the afternoon of August 30 of the 16th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the sun was shining in the palace of the Joseon Dynasty, the flowers and plants were in full bloom, and the birds were singing and the fragrance of flowers was a pleasant scene.
But the palace people living in the palace were in a hurry, and those palace people who saw Ni Yuanlu in the palace gate hurriedly ran over to report the news for Li Liang.
Soon, a person in Gyeongbokgung Palace left Gyeongbokgung Palace in a hurry.
Li Qi nervously asked a palace person about his appearance, and in the other party's panicked expression, he finally made sure that he was not untidy.
When Li Liang sat on the throne with an uneasy expression, Ni Yuanlu walked into Gyeongbokgung Palace and looked at Li Liang with a smile.
Being watched by Ni Yuanlu's gaze, Li Qi writhed in his seat with an uneasy expression.
Ni Yuanlu said with great concern: "The king seems to be unwell? ”
"Angels have good eyesight, and they really can't sleep these days." Li Qi nodded suddenly, looked at Ni Yuanlu, his eyes also had some more strength, and said helplessly: "The battle on the front line is unstable, and it is difficult for Xiao Wang to sit in Seoul." ”
"It's natural." Ni Yuanlu expressed understanding.
Li Kun's expression was relieved.
But Ni Yuanlu's next words made him jump like a spring under his buttocks.
"But the king should not be at such a moment...... Let's meet Jiannu to make it! After Ni Yuanlu finished speaking, he suddenly saw a person striding over, and Li Lian's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face.
It turned out that the person was actually the general in charge of guarding the palace, Yuan Elder Li.
At this moment, Elder Li saw Li Liang's expression full of surprise and suspicion, and he looked guilty. And beside him, several palace guards pressed a man who exuded a fishy smell from his body to come in. This man has a rat-tailed face, a dark face, small eyes, and a long horse face. A typical Jurchen appearance.
"Let go of me! You North Korean barbarians! Do you know how much of a sin it is to dare to detain the envoys of the Qing Dynasty? Now my Great Khan has sent 500,000 troops to attack the Ming Kingdom, and he will be able to break through the Great Wall in a few days. It is this North Korea, and our Qing Dynasty has also reinforced troops and horses, and has already arrived in the country. Dare to be rude to me today, and tomorrow my army will kill you and others! The Jurchen envoy wagged his tail. Struggling to break free. Several North Korean guards around him were almost freed.
At this time, Yang Wenbao, who had been following in, suddenly kicked it violently, hitting the head of the Jurchen envoy.
There was a muffled sound, and the Jurchen messenger immediately stopped.
Seeing this, Li Liang gasped for breath, looking at this scene, staring at Ni Yuanlu, his eyes were extremely complicated. For a long time, he didn't talk to Ni Yuanlu again. Instead, his eyes fell on Elder Li: "Why did even you betray me?" ”
"Wang Shang......" Yuan Doubi, Shen Qiyuan and other former party members hurriedly walked into the dot: "I really don't blame Yuan Lao Li!" ”
Seeing this, Li Liang no longer cared about Yuan Yuan, but glared at Yuan Doubi and the two of them angrily, and said loudly: "Didn't you say that day that you wanted the Ming and Qing dynasties to meet the source?" Today, you are the first to betray me! ”
"Your Majesty ......," Shen Qiyuan couldn't help but call out angrily.
"I'll tell you." Ni Yuanlu said with a relaxed demeanor: "They are also loyal ministers of the Korean State, and they can't bear to let the king be deceived by traitorous ministers." It seems that the king doesn't know the news of the Shari House yet, right? ”
"Shariin? Huangju in Hwanghae-do? Li Liang understood, and quickly counted the recent military report. Follow the speed. At this moment, the Ming Dynasty army is indeed about to arrive in Huangzhou.
As for how important Huangzhou is to Pyongyang, Li Liang naturally knows it. Because many precious documents, gold, silver, jewelry, grain, and rice throughout Seoul were transferred to Sariwon. Even the war horses and carts of the entire Seoul were looted away, and the two classes of civil and military were dragged over there like hostages.
"Isn't it ......" Suddenly, a thought popped up in Li Liang's mind.
Ni Yuanlu raised a big red war report in his hand: "My great soldiers killed the captive chief Chahara, the dragon bone and Shang Shuxing in the Shali Courtyard. Capture the traitor party Jin Zizhi, get the head of the rebel general Park Changyong, kill 3,000 Jurchen heads, and capture 24,639 soldiers! Big win over Sari Temple! ”
Li sat back on the throne.
Then. Only then did Elder Li dare to step forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is also a last resort. The military information spread too slowly, and we learned about this great victory through the people in the embassy in North Korea. At such a moment, the messenger of Jiannu was in the palace. Once it collides, I will ...... North Korea."
Yuan Doubi and Shen Qiyuan knelt on the ground together: "The king forgives ...... sin"
Seeing this, Ni Yuanlu strode forward, pulled the king of Joseon out of the hall with his shoulders, looked outside the city and said, "Fang Cai, at this time, the news of the great victory has spread all over Seoul." Your Royal Highness, please listen carefully......"
Several people looked out of the hall.
The main hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace is built on a high elevation, and naturally, you can overlook the entire Seoul from standing on the main hall.
At this moment, Li Qi, Yuan Doubi, Shen Qiyuan, and Li Yuanlao followed Ni Yuanlu's gaze and looked at Hancheng.
At this moment, on the streets of Seoul, crowds gathered. There was silence in the room, and then gradually heard a series of voices coming clearly.
"Won!"
"A big victory for the Sari Temple!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live North Korea!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty, North Korea is free!"
……
"Surrendering to the Qing people is just to survive. I am an authentic Confucian emperor, and I have always prided myself on naturalization. In this world, Huayi is different, how can he kneel in front of a group of barbarians who lead beasts and cannibals? The return to the Ming Dynasty is the return of victory, the return of freedom, and the ...... Really good for the return of North Korea! Ni Yuanlu said softly.
At this time, Yang Wenbao on the side said quietly: "I heard that this month's tariff is 60,000 taels of silver." As previously agreed, half of those tariffs would be applied to North Korea...... And that's just when North Korea's exports were the majority during the war. In the coming days, North Korea will return to our Ming Dynasty and China world, so how prosperous will this maritime trade be, and how amazing will the benefits be? Compared with the Jiannu barbarians, how can they be a hundred times uncivilized and prosperous? ”
Li Kun's breathing gradually calmed down, he looked at the few people present, scanned the audience, and gradually had a plan in his heart.
I don't know if it was the persuasion of his subordinates or Ni Yuanlu's rhetoric, Yang Wenbao's tariffs, or the good news that played the biggest key role in the end.
In short, Li Liang walked back to the Jurchen envoy whose name had not even been announced, and said in a deep voice: "Erhe, I know you have woken up a long time ago, get up." If you have any last words, please say them. ”
Seeing this, the Jurchen envoy known as Erhe no longer pretended to be dead, stood up, stared at Li Liang and said, "Li Liang, you have to remember...... Your son is still in Shengjing! ”
"If that's all there is to it...... Then you can die. After Li Qi finished speaking, he waved his hand.
The guards obeyed the order and took Erkh out of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and a scream rang out, but there was no more sound.
"Daming Wansheng!" Li Qi shouted.
Ni Yuanlu and others also cheered.
