One thousand four hundred and thirty-nine the world feels pain
Li Yifang could be sure that after he left, Ming Dynasty would definitely return to its previous state.
Everything they did would become meaningless. Goryeo was still civil servants showing off their power, and military generals were still humble to the ground.
Civil officials enjoy all glory, while military generals can only become their thugs humbly, with no dignity at all.
Is this appropriate?
Li Yifang felt it was inappropriate.
If he felt it was appropriate, he would not have initiated this mutiny.
He hated civil officials, Goryeo's system, the [Peaceful and Good Writing Master], the hateful Ming Kingdom, everything, and this unfair world.
Why did no one stand up for him when he was suffering and resentment, but he decided to resist, and so many people stood up to tell him that it was wrong to do this?
What's wrong? What's wrong with me fighting for my dignity?
Li Yifang didn't understand, so his heart became even more distorted.
If all this is meaningless, then let me make it meaningful.
I want to make the world feel pain.
On the night before leaving, Li Yifang stared at his blood-covered eyes, carried a knife, and entered the palace where Wang Xun was house arrested. He looked at the fearless guy who was still playing with the woman. Under his terrified gaze, he stabbed into his abdomen and ended him.
Then he killed all the screaming women and eunuchs.
He came to Wang Shi's bedroom again, picked up Wang Shi, who was flirting with the woman, from the bed, and cut his throat with a knife, causing him to die of pain.
Then he chopped off the stupid woman.
After killing the two most hated people, Li Yifang calmed down his anger a little, but felt it was not enough, so he ordered his most trusted private soldiers to separate their heads and clean up the high-ranking civil servants who are still alive.
I'm not doing well, so you can't even think about doing well.
All of them will die for me!
The result of this was that more than 30 high-level civil servants who survived the first wave of purges were killed.
In this way, Li Yi calmed down a little, but soon felt that it was not good enough, so he kept doing it and ordered the Goryeo Palace to be ordered.
Only the burning fire can destroy everything, wash everything, and let this dirty place return to dust and disappear to me!
On this night, Li Yifang led his men to escape, leaving behind a burning city.
People in the city found that the palace was on fire and screamed in horror. Some people ran away, some were rushing to put out the fire, and some took advantage of the fire to rob. From dark to dawn, the whole city was in chaos, and no one stood up to stabilize the situation, because those who could stabilize the situation either died or ran away.
Kaesong was in pure chaos, and even the news of the death of the former king and the present king could not be spread. No one knew how many people were burned to death and killed by the fire.
The chaos continued until Su Jue led the Ming army to arrive.
The Ming army quickly entered the city and occupied important places, and carried out disposal actions to those who held the knife in the city. They calmed down the chaos in the city in one morning, posted notices for the people, and then surveyed the specific situation in the city, summoned officials to ask about various information, etc.
This action continued until dusk, when the Ming army started having supper, Su Jue almost knew what was going on here before.
Wang Xun and Wang Xun were both dead.
The one who killed them was Li Yifang. After Li Yifang killed them, he decided to set fire to the palace. They acted secretly, and they looked like they wanted to let the entire palace die together.
Fortunately, the two little eunuchs hid aside and saw everything happening. After Li Yifang and others left, they quickly dragged out the bodies of Wang Xun and Wang Xun.
Thanks to these two little eunuchs, half of the members of the Goryeo royal family were burned to death, and half of them escaped, hid in the basement and hid until the Ming army arrived.
And other officials and civilians in Kaicheng were not so lucky.
More than 30 high-level officials were killed by Li Yifang. When the fire broke out, the order in the city became chaotic, and no one stood up to stabilize the order. Whoever had a knife was the master. One or two were extremely fierce, killing people and robbing fire, making them even more bandits than bandits.
The leaders of the military generals such as Li Yifang had already fled, and some had fled a few days earlier. According to some people's explanation, they said that they wanted Japan to escape, and believed that Japan was isolated overseas and the Ming Dynasty would not be able to pursue it.
Su Jue was very angry and ordered a round of identification of the killers in the city, and then identified all the officials separately for another treatment, leaving the Corps secretary Wen Tianrui to temporarily stabilize the order in Kaicheng, and led the elite cavalry south to pursue Li Yifang and others.
After Kaicheng was occupied by the Ming army, the entire Goryeo regime had actually collapsed. The military generals who were originally in charge were killed and fled, and civil officials were killed and killed. The remaining were low-level officials who could not take the lead.
What's even more terrible is that the former king Wang Xu and the current king Wang Xu were both dead. Half of the Goryeo royal family died, and the remaining half became frightened birds. They were extremely frightened and could only survive by the protection of the Ming army.
The central government of Goryeo can no longer be maintained.
Wen Tianrui, secretary of the Sixth Corps, learned about the whole situation and felt it was a bit interesting.
Originally, the central strategic consideration of the entire Ming Dynasty was that this situation was the best. The central government of Goryeo was unsustainable and needed various help to maintain it. After the Ming Dynasty controlled all the real power of Goryeo, the King of Goryeo asked to approve it, which naturally completed the annexation.
But the current situation is even deeper than the most suitable situation expected by Ming Guo.
That guy Li Yifang actually massacred all the well-known civil servants in Goryeo, including their families, and even killed Wang Xun and Wang Wei. He would make a good antisocial personality model that you can't even think about if you can't live well.
This makes the existence of the Goryeo Kingdom inseparable from the support of the Ming Kingdom, both subjective and objective.
Of course, this also brought a series of troubles to the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty needed to spend a lot of energy and expenditure to reorganize the central power of Goryeo, and then crack down on and eliminate some powerful groups with serious independent tendencies that may emerge from the local area, and then establish a unified rural system to completely copy the construction of the grassroots system of Ming Dynasty to Goryeo.
Then we must re-enroll a King of Goryeo to help them complete this set of reforms, so that the resistance among Goryeo people can be minimized, so that the Ming Dynasty has enough time to accumulate strength and carry out land reform.
Wen Tianrui wrote a series of situations and his analysis into a report, and sent someone 600 miles to Zhongdu to Su Yonglin to find out, asking for further instructions, staying in Kaicheng to stabilize the order, and selecting some of the Goryeo officials in Kaicheng that can be appointed to cooperate to make a transition.
At least we must stabilize the city and then plan for others after stabilizing the city.
On February 23, the tenth year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin received an urgent report from Goryeo, learned about a series of events in Goryeo, and then quickly held a military meeting.
"Wang Xu and Wang Xu were both dead. We did not expect this situation. The military generals of Goryeo were indeed very brave. Seeing that the regime could not be maintained, they would not let the original powerful people have a good life. They killed two kings and massacred more than 30 powerful people in Goryeo.
At present, the central government of Goryeo has basically collapsed. If the Ming Dynasty does not intervene in time to fill the power vacuum, Goryeo will soon enter a state of disintegration. From any perspective, we must immediately send someone to take over Goryeo's central government."
Su Yonglin made an accurate judgment on the current situation and then asked everyone to discuss who to choose to take on the actual ruling of Goryeo.
