A few days later, the North Korean officials across the Yalu River boldly sent a boat to inquire about the situation. After revealing their identities, the Ming army on the river let them pass and allowed them to go ashore, and sent troops to protect them at the same time.

After the on-site inspection, Kim, a North Korean official on the ship, then reported to the higher authorities:

"At the beginning of this month, about thousands of Ming troops headed north from Yizhou. It is reported that the leader was the emperor's eunuch Wei. The main force of the Ming army was the emperor's personal army from Beijing. They were fully equipped and had excellent soldiers and armor. Although the number was small, they were very elite...

After heading north, the Ming army's offensive was like lightning. It took only three days to penetrate a hundred miles, and successively captured Changdian and Xiaodian. The Ming army that captured these two places encountered almost no resistance, but in the subsequent attack, a castle garrisoned by pure Jurchen soldiers bravely resisted the Ming army's repeated attacks, that is Yongdian Fort.

A loyal Jurchen general named Daerda (transliteration) guarded Yongdian. Although he had a powerful guardian army and bravely resisted, he failed in the end. The whole fort was looted, and the people and soldiers were all slaughtered... Due to the hot weather, the Ming army was afraid that a large number of dead bodies would pollute the air and cause a plague, so they piled up the bodies on the house, and hundreds of houses were burned to ashes, turning them into ruins... A large number of Jianzhou and Han women were abducted by the Ming army. It is said that they would be assigned to the meritorious soldiers of the Ming army..."

Another thing this North Korean official reported to his king was that the Ming army's actions in the Kuandian area did not seem to have been recognized by the military and political officials of the Liaodong side of the Ming Dynasty, and they did not inform the North Korean side in advance. What was terrible is that the Ming army's military operations were almost completely destructive, and seemed to have no intention of recapturing the Kuandian area, and just wanted to turn these hundreds of miles of land into an uninhabited wasteland.

In addition, in the military operations of the Ming army, a large number of Koreans acted as accomplices. They either led the way for the Ming army, acted as auxiliary laborers, or directly put on armor to fight for the Ming army. Even the Jurchens captured by the Ming army did the same thing as the Koreans. But more were the Han people who defected to the Jurchens. The Ming army's killing scared them. In order not to let themselves be killed like the Jurchens, they rushed to work hard for the Ming army...

Jin did not care too much about the Han and Jurchens, but he believed that the large number of Ming troops driving the Koreans would bring about a bad consequence.

That is, in order to curry favor with the Ming army, those North Koreans who were originally traitors would reveal too much to the Ming army on the other side of the river to gain more benefits in order to curry favor with the Ming army, thus inducing the Ming army to cross the border and harass North Korea.

This is not Jin's worry about nothing, but the facts exist. Over the years, the Jurchens have repeatedly crossed the border and plundered, and many Koreans have appeared.

It was precisely because the Koreans under Jianzhou who completely surrendered to the Jurchens that they survived in the territory of Jianzhou. Now they have become prisoners of the Ming army, and no one can guarantee that they will no longer induce the Ming army to cross the border. Therefore, the Korean army on the border should prepare for war immediately to prevent possible Ming army invasions.

However, in the eyes of North Korean leaders, Kim's concerns are obviously nonsense, and very absurd and ridiculous.

Whether it is the Korean king and ministers who received the report, or the officials and generals from North Ping'an Province, it is completely impossible to say that the Ming army may cross the border to invade North Korea.

The Ming Dynasty is the culprit of North Korea, and the whole country is extremely respectful to the Ming Dynasty. It is a great honor for the Ming Dynasty to be able to serve a dog of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty had recreated favors to North Korea. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's heavenly army, North Korea would have ceased to exist long ago. How could they have invaded North Korea more and more!

Therefore, not only was Jin's report left aside, but he was also severely scolded by his superiors, who was scolded for not having such malicious ideas towards the Daming Heavenly Soldiers.

This is unacceptable and untolerated.

"The Celestial Empire uses military forces against the Jurchens, which our country is happy to see. How could the minor official attack the Celestial Empire's soldiers so maliciously? What if the emperor's close ministers hear it, wouldn't it make the emperor unhappy!"

At the fierce request of Fude and the right Yin of Seoul Prefecture, Jiang Hongli, Ping'an North Road arrested and sent Kim, who dared to viciously speculate on the heavenly soldiers and alienated the relationship between the Celestial Empire and North Korea, to Seoul, and was later convicted and imprisoned.

…………

Eunuch Wei didn't know that the North Korean officials he had specially sent to protect would report to his government like this. He was busy accepting Jianzhou assets in Kuandizhu Fort, and he really didn't have time to pay attention to the Chaofan who was across the river.

All movable property, whether it is population or livestock, is moving to Yizhou as fast as possible. All real property, whether it is a house or a city wall, or a dew-wind thatched house or a well, was ordered to set fire or fill it out by the father-in-law.

Except for people and livestock, weapons and silver, and other things that can be sold for money, they will be destroyed.

Tens of thousands of people were effectively mobilized, including Jurchens, Koreans, Hans, Mongolians... under the banner of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, united under the command of the Ming Dynasty angel Eunuch Wei, and carried out a great demolition project in the Kuandi area like an ants moving.

All of this is the credit of Eunuch Wei.

All of this is just because the benevolent is invincible.

The remaining three forts were liberated by "peaceful" and "peaceful".

The day after the Yongdian was captured, Eunuch Wei wrote a notice in writing "The Instruction of the Civil and Military Officials of Jianzhou in the Fortresses and the People of Civil and Military Affairs, etc.", and ordered the soldiers to ride horses and spread the situation.

The text said: "Yesterday, the army of the state came to Yongdian. The officials in the city defended the city of Yingcheng and resisted the heavenly soldiers. We cherished the people's destiny and could not bear to add troops. We first told the good and bad luck. After several days of delay, the officials finally disobeyed the order, and then attacked the city and slaughtered the wife. Is this the original intention of the city? It is necessary to do it. Then the soldiers everywhere, and the officials and the soldiers resisted and refused to surrender, which is a lesson forever."

In the notice, Eunuch Wei said with great pain that he had been "delayed for several days" and had to be forced to attack the city, but in fact, there was no time from persuading surrender to siege the city.

The killing was completed in just one night.

The notice flew across Kuandan area like long wings. The bloody fact that Yongdian was slaughtered shocked the hearts of the Jurchen defenders in the other forts.

They were all frightened.

Either the whole city was slaughtered or the city was opened to surrender.

The choice given by Eunuch Wei is simple and not difficult to choose. In the face of the absolute strength of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, anyone knows how to choose.

After learning about Yongdian's slaughter, the defender General Zhengbaiqi, who was planned to capture, immediately led all the soldiers and civilians of the fort to open the city to surrender.

After learning that Dadian surrendered, Eunuch Wei immediately sent someone to promulgate the soldiers not to kill innocent people, not to plunder wealth, and not to burn houses, so that the soldiers and civilians of the founding states could feel the grace of the great Ming Dynasty and abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

This command came in a very timely and very effective manner.

When the Ming Emperor's army approached Kuandi's main fortress and set up a strong attack, the Guarjia Guardian clan guards were bound by his subordinates and escorted out of the city.

Also tied out of the city with Wei Qi were his two sons - Zhao Butai and Obai.
