Wei eunuchs were young, favored and fond of merit, and forged an edict to go to Liao Zuo, and made great contributions to Korea and bullied the vassals. He only relied on hawks and dogs, and had many ears and eyes. Excerpted from the imperially-designed banned book "Legend of Wei Erdai"

………

In the yamen of the Great Protectorate of Jingcheng, Yuan Ye, the envoy of the shepherd Zheng Chengguo, the magistrate of the Protectorate of Jin Yiqing, the envoy of the military and horses of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate, the envoy of the military and horses of the horses, and the other military and political officials were discussing the military. Li Xianzhi, the county magistrate who fled back from Funing, was also there. In addition, there were more than a dozen civil and military officials in the hall, most of which were officials of various counties under Jingcheng Prefecture, and three other naval generals.

The theme of the conference is naturally how to deal with this sudden "Gui Chou Ming Chao".

The Yuan Dynasty envoy personally determined that the Ming army's entry was "invasion of North Korea" and reported it to Seoul, so the main theme of the conference was naturally confirmed.

Although the people below have some doubts and do not agree with the characterization of the Yuanfu envoy, they still have to keep their opinions under the strong leadership of the Yuanfu envoy. After all, in Jingcheng, what the Yuanfu envoy said is more calculating than the leadership of the government. The nature is determined, and what everyone is currently discussing is how to defend Jingcheng to the death.

In the words of the Yuan Dynasty, Jingcheng is the location of the Protectorate. If it is lost again, the Ming army's troops will be able to directly point to the Ping'an Road, and then threaten the Huanghai Road, facing Seoul, an important part of the capital.

Although this statement is obviously a bit sensational, all the civil and military officials have sources of information. They know that the Ming army entered the country with only two or three thousand people, and the angels accompanied the guards, it was impossible to march towards Seoul as the Yuanfu envoy said, but who dares to point out the absurdity of the Yuanfu envoy?

Defending Mirror City is to defend North Korea!

Yuan Ye emphasized this concept on many occasions and tore up the so-called letter of warning sent by the so-called angel of the Shangguo Kingdom to the protection of Jingcheng City in public.

But everyone was wondering how they swear to defend the law to the death.

The Jingcheng Protectorate's Office was not very strong, and it was not very elite. The entire Protectorate's Office could only use more than 6,000 troops. One third of them were stationed in Funing County. As a result, the Ming army was defeated in the Battle of Shuchuanhe. The remaining troops were scattered in the remaining counties, either surrendering to the Ming army or fleeing in the sight of the wind.

For example, since the Ming army entered the country, the three counties of Huining and Xingning and Zhongcheng have opened the city gates and become "Kingmen" one after another. How could they expect these three counties to send troops to assist in the war?

Qingyuan and Funing County had fought against the Ming army, but everyone knew it well that Wencheng was scared to death.

Now, including the Funing County soldiers who retreated with the Funing County Magistrate, the entire Jingcheng defense can only be called more than 800 soldiers, and the remaining thousands are defeated soldiers and the young and strong village soldiers temporarily recruited from nearby counties. Therefore, anyone with a little knowledge knows that this little force cannot stop the Ming army and cannot defend Jingcheng.

A wise approach should be to evacuate Jingcheng immediately and advance westward to join the troops and horses of Heping Road. After all, there are two thousand elite soldiers of the imperial guards on Ping An Road. With this as the main force, it may not be able to defeat the so-called two thousand soldiers of the Ming envoy.

As long as the Ming army is defeated, even if it destroys its slightest prestige, it will be of great benefit to North Korea on the military level.

On the diplomatic level, North Korea can occupy a high sense of justice and force the Ming Dynasty to withdraw its troops through diplomatic means.

It should be noted that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea has been a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. For more than two hundred years, Korea has respected everything and everything goes well. The Ming Dynasty has no reason to send troops across the border to ask for war compensation.

All the officials in the hall, including the envoy of the Yuan Prefecture, almost all believed that the so-called angel who came across the river from Jianzhou was mostly a private act by an official from the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, and did not receive the authorization of the Ming Emperor and the court. Otherwise, why not see the official letter of state?

Only now, it doesn’t matter whether the angel is true or not. What matters is how to block the Ming army that has arrived in Jingcheng.

Although the number of Ming soldiers in this stock is not large, the number of soldiers is that they are excellent in their firearms, complete armor and cavalry, and excellent combat power. It is no worse than the elite Ming army who entered North Korea to fight against the Japanese. This kind of power is not something that Jingcheng family can resist.

All the civil and military officials were all thinking about retreating westward to preserve their strength and using diplomatic means to solve the problem. In particular, the county magistrate Li Xianzhi, who escaped from Funing, was even more frightened. Several meetings proposed to give up the retreat to the westward of Jingcheng. If his daughter was not the wife of the prefect Jiang Hongli, how could Yuan Ye allow him to destroy the morale of the army and disrupt his own position?

"The Ming army hurriedly entered the country and attacked me. There were only 3,000 troops. Although the equipment was exquisite, what could it be? In the battle of Shuchuanhe, the leader underestimated the enemy. He went out of the city to attack without knowing the enemy's situation, resulting in a great collapse. Now our Jingcheng City is strong and the walls are high, and the soldiers are strong. He defended the city by relying on the city. His Ming army came from afar, and the money and food were transported unhappy. How could there be a long siege? What's more, our mansion has asked Ping'an Road and Seoul for help, and the city is full of food and grass, and there is no reason to abandon the city west!"

Yuan Ye looked around everyone, and first pointed Li Xianzhi with words, then emphasized his determination to stick to his support. Finally, his eyes fell on Xuan Yu, the commander of the Jingcheng Naval Army, and said unhappily: "I have ordered the navy army to enter the city, why are there no soldiers and soldiers today?"

Xuan Yu hurriedly stood up and saluted, looking embarrassed: "Report to the envoy of the Mansion, although our navy soldiers are two thousand, they are all used to water battles and have the ability to kill the enemy on the boat. The envoy of the Mansion asked us to retreat into the city, which was really a difficult situation for the navy... According to the last general, the navy can only survive outside the city to defeat the enemy. At critical moments, it can even leave the rear of the Ming army, cut off its food route, or disturb its rear, and disrupt its formation..."

This view makes sense. Since ancient times, only by defending the city can we ensure that the city is not lost. If we retreat into the city, it will be a dead end.

But the Yuan Mansion envoy was as stubborn as his brother Yuanjun and did not listen to Xuanyu's opinion at all. Instead, he sang: "The Ming people invaded our North Korea and were unpopular. How could there be food channels? How could you come from behind?...You have been slow to obey our orders, so you are trying to express your desire to express your thoughts!"

"The mansion envoy is wronged!"

Xuanyu quickly cried out and thought that these aristocratic families were really hard to serve.

Everyone knew that Xuanyu's views were correct, but he was taken from Yuanfu to make the majesty in the past, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Tomorrow afternoon, if the navy army does not enter the city again, I will use your head to sacrifice to the sky!" Yuan Ye said sternly.

Xuanyu frowned, but did not refute again.

Seeing this, Yuan Ye waved his hand and said, "The Jin Mansion is ready to reward silver, but the soldiers who enter the city will give one tael of silver each to make the soldiers use their lives."

Yuan Ye did not just insist on being tough and powerful to suppress others, and he also understood the importance of comforting others. He should give them silver rewards. There are warriors below the reward.

Recently, in order to ensure that the city of Jingcheng is not lost and to ensure that the soldiers and horses in the city are firmly determined to defend the city, Yuan Ye opened a treasury. In addition, Park Seok-dong and Wanhu Zhao Zhicheng have indeed had some skills, so the defense in the city was rectified in just a few days.

Yuan Ye personally inspected the city wall, which strengthened his determination to stick to the city.

"Ping'an Road will never sit and watch our Mirror City fall into the hands of the Ming army. In the latest two or three days, the Ping'an Road soldiers will arrive. The Ming army has not had many troops, so how can we stay under the strong city? As soon as the reinforcements arrive, our mansion thinks that the so-called Ming envoy should seek peace."

After Yuan Ye finished speaking, the envoy Zheng Chengguo of the Muslim encouraging everyone, "Everyone, the burden on our shoulders is heavy. If the Jingcheng is lost, the Ping'an Road will have no door to rely on. If the Ping'an is lost again, the gate of the capital will be opened. Therefore, you must be motivated to keep the Jingcheng and wait for reinforcements to force the Ming army to withdraw, your future will be immeasurable."

Upon hearing this, all the officials expressed their determination to live and die with Jingcheng. Yuan Ye was very satisfied. However, Xuan Yu, the commander of the navy army who was angrily scolded by him, suddenly said: "Everyone, the failure of the Funing war is because the Ming armaments are too powerful. Not only that, I also heard that there are Japanese soldiers hidden in the army. Even if the troops from Ping'an Road come, they may not be able to defeat the Ming army."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhicheng, a soldier who was sitting next to Jin Yiqing, who was ruling Jin Yiqing in the Protectorate, nodded and echoed: "What Xuan Tongzhi said is very much. I have also asked Funing's soldiers, and they explained that the army has fast muskets, which are faster than our muskets. If we hit this gun, they can hit two shots, so our good hands can't beat them."

"Not only is the gun powerful, it turns out that the army has a strange thing. Throwing one can kill a piece of it..." said another naval general.

""

Suddenly, several generals were talking about the power of the Ming army. After comparing their weapons and equipment, they all said that they could not defeat the other party. The Mirror City was unlikely to be defended. Yuan Ye frowned and was very dissatisfied, and his face turned dark on the spot.

The prefectural magistrate Jin Yiqing was also very puzzled. He didn't know how these Spanish generals destroyed their own power.

The envoy Zheng Guocheng was alert. He noticed that many officials still used the title of "Heavenly Soldier" when mentioning the Ming army, rather than the "Ming Knight" asserted by the Yuan Dynasty envoy.

"Enough!"

The generals were so powerful that Yuan Ye couldn't help it. He slapped the table in anger and said angrily: "What do you want to do? Why do you say all these words that shake the morale of the army? Is it because the Ming army is powerful that our mansion will open the city to surrender?"

The mansion patted the sound of a huge blow, and the table was shaken with force.

The generals calmed down in an instant, but after only a few breaths, Xuan Yu stood up and said to Yuan Ye: "In fact, the generals of the Imperial Army have never agreed with what the envoy said. The heavenly soldiers entered the court to invade the Kingdom, so the Imperial Army opposed fighting with the heavenly soldiers!"

"Xuanyu, what do you mean?"

Yuan Ye had murderous intent on his face, and he stared at Xuan Yu who dared to question him: "Is this the reason why you have been slow to bring troops into the city!"

"good!"

Xuanyu was not afraid, and sneered and bowed and raised his hands: "My country was originally a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. King Xuanzong said that the Ming Dynasty was a father, and our country was a son. Since ancient times, there has been no son or a father! Today, when the commander of my Jingcheng was here, the upper and lower levels should welcome each other with the Pure Land, how can we face each other with swords and swords!"

"Yes, sir, I'm not going to resist the angel!" Zhao Zhicheng, a soldier and horseman, followed Xuanyu and spoke.

"Sir, please lead us to welcome the angels!" Other generals were all standing together.

"Bold, you want to rebel and surrender to the enemy!"
