Chapter 412: Raiding Seoul 4
After comforting the King of Joseon, Choi Mingji left the palace and did not ask any questions about Zhou Xian's purpose and specific requirements. The latter controlled the King of Joseon, and the North Korean army surrounded the palace outside. Both sides had their own opinions, and no one thought about the result of the death. Since the other party was not in a hurry, he should be more patient as the master of this place. After Kim Sang-hyun came to Seoul, he would make a decision before making any decision.
Cui Mingji had just left the palace gate with more than 300 injunctions, and Shen Qiyuan and Jin Zidian hurriedly met. "Mr. Shen, Lord Jin, please prepare 500 people to send food to the palace immediately. They were hungry. In addition, a few medical officers were arranged to go in. I saw some injured soldiers among them."
The two of them were stunned and seemed not to hear clearly for a moment. Jin Zidian was first angry and said, "Cui Mingji, what do you mean? Did you know that they were hungry after you went in for so long?"
Chen Qiyuan's face was a little embarrassed, and he asked, "Cui Yuanjun, what's going on? And those imperial guards..."
Cui Mingji sighed and said, "The leading figure inside is Zhou Xian, the governor of the Ming Dynasty. These imperial guards were specially released to us. In addition to the nearly 400 soldiers inside, he also had soldiers in Seoul. A day ago, they destroyed a thousand soldiers with a dragon bone near Jinchuan, and even he himself was captured and is currently being escorted to Seoul. Now, he has controlled the king and all the royal members and proposed to provide us with some food. Can we not agree?"
The two men's faces changed drastically, and Jin Zidian couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Hello Bones was captured?" He is a typical Qing faction in North Korea. When he heard that the dragon bone was captured, he instantly felt that the situation in North Korea might have discovered new changes, and his face suddenly wrinkled.
Shen Qiyuan's performance was much calmer than Jin Zidian. Seeing Cui Mingji nodding slightly, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what kind of person is this Governor Denglai? What is his purpose of controlling my king?"
Cui Mingji shook his head and said, "His purpose is not clear. As for what kind of person he is, I can only say that he is an experienced young man."
"Young man?" Chen Qiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Cui Mingji with some confusion.
Cui Mingji nodded and said, "He seems to be under twenty years old. Lord Shen, please send someone to Jinchuan immediately to pick up Jin Shangxian and other Ming soldiers. It is not advisable to have another conflict before the two sides breaks apart, otherwise the negotiations between the two sides will be very difficult. Moreover, Jin Shangxian should have had contact with Zhou Xian and should know a little about his purpose."
Shen Qiyuan nodded, "I'll arrange for someone to go now."
Cui Mingji sent Ji Mu and twenty others in. Zhou Xian asked about his situation and found that some of them were going well. All the Qing envoys in the guild were killed. Li Xiong had sent soldiers to contact Gao Yi, while he and more than 20 other soldiers were scattered and hidden in Seoul in case of an accident.
Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go eat something and have a good rest."
Jimu nodded and turned around and left.
The food in North Korea is single and not very delicious. But the soldiers who have been running around and fighting for a day and night have been hungry, so how can they care about the taste? As soon as they were sent in, a large number of people started to eat it voraciously. The food was more than enough, and Zhou Xian distributed part of it to the Korean royal family. But they were worried and afraid for a night and had no appetite. Looking at the Ming soldiers eating, they felt a little envious.
Zhou Xian walked to Li Juan with his bowl and chopsticks, sat cross-legged, and smiled faintly: "Master, it seems that your appetite is not very good!"
Li Jue smiled bitterly, bowed slightly to Zhou Xian and said, "Zhou Junmen, I am your prisoner now, where is the mood to eat? Why don't you tell me what you plan to deal with me?"
Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Now you are under my control, but outside the palace, there are more than 3,000 Korean troops waiting for battle. You are being held captive and surrounded, I am not worried. What are you worried about? If nothing unexpected happens, tonight is the time for our two sides to negotiate. You should eat and sleep. There is really nothing to worry about. When the negotiation is completed, you may still be your king, and I will return my Ming Dynasty."
Li Nei pondered for a moment, looked up at Zhou Xian and said, "Zhou Junmen, what you said is true?"
Zhou Xian said: "Of course it is true. But I don't know exactly what it was like in the end. Eunuch Du has read the edict of our emperor to you. You must bear certain responsibility for this crime of betraying the Lord's defeat of the enemy. Otherwise, I will not be able to pay the wrong place for our emperor."
Before Li Yu could speak, a young man in his early twenties beside him said angrily: "In the past, the Qing army invaded North Korea and the state was in ruins. My father held on to Nan Seoul for more than a month, but as the sect leader, the Ming Dynasty did not send a single army or a soldier to reinforce. In the end, our army was defeated and signed a humiliating agreement with the sect leader. Now the responsibility is completely overturned to us. Is this the demeanor that your sect leader should have?"
Li Nai changed his color and scolded, "Shut, stop talking." Then he bowed to Zhou Xian and said, "Zhou Junmen, I'm rude, I hope you can forgive me."
Zhou Xian waved his hand indifferently and asked in a low voice: "Master, this person is..."
"It is my second son Li Jing and the Great Lord Fenglin."
King Lee Seung had six sons and one daughter, and the eldest was Prince Zhaoxian. During the Bingzi Rebellion, Prince Zhaoxian, his wife, and hundreds of officials were taken to Shenyang as hostages. This stay lasted for nearly ten years, and he was released after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. But shortly after he returned to North Korea, he died of illness. However, some people said that he was poisoned to death by King Lee Seung himself. The Maharaja Fenglin replaced the Scholar of Zhaoxian to become the next King of Korea.
Zhou Xian put his bowl and chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "If I tell you, the emperor of our country sent reinforcements as soon as possible after he received the news. He had already landed on the border island of Korea, but the scouts reported that your country had already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. How do you think about it?"
Li's face changed drastically and he said in surprise: "What you said is true?"
"It's true. If the two countries hadn't cut off relations, the king would have known this news long ago. You can also wait until the matter is resolved and send people to the Ming Dynasty. Most of the soldiers participating in the rescue at that time were still in the territory of Denglai. After you sent someone to ask, you will naturally know whether this matter is true or false."
