Chapter 704 Failed Coup

Outside the west city of Joseon King, a large number of soldiers appeared under the city.

Zhao Ming dared to put it to death because he had already settled an army of 5,000 people in Jianghuawan.

The entire North Korea has only 30,000 permanent troops, most of which are still under the control of the Wu Yue army, with 5,000 troops supporting it, which is enough to control the situation in North Korea.

When Choi Chengxiu told him that Kim Jong-won and others were about to rebel, Zhao Ming sent his confidant to order the fleet in Ganghwa Bay to lead 5,000 elite troops to rush to King Kong, North Korea at night.

At this time, the Korean army at the top of the city saw a fire under the city. The soldiers were already lined up in front of the city, and a row of artillery had already lined up under the city.

The generals on the city side looked around the city. After a moment, he shouted down in panic: "Who is under the city? Do you want to rebel in the late night?"

A general under the city, wearing military uniforms and a big-brimmed hat, rode forward, "I am Chen Youlong! Come to quell the rebellion, and you can open the city gate at a time."

"Chen Youlong, deputy governor of the former Wu Yue Army!" The general at the city exclaimed.

The former army of Wu Yue Kingdom fought against the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong and North Korea for a long time, and the Koreans were very familiar with the situation of the former army of Wu Yue Kingdom.

After the rebels surrounded the government residence in the city, Lee Seok took the opportunity to seize control of the North Korean king.

All the city gates in Wangjing were replaced with people trusted by Li Jing to control the city defense.

At this time, the defenders on the city knew that it was Wu Yue's army coming, and their hearts were filled with panic and their faces turned ashen.

In the eyes of the rebels, they surrounded the government residence of the governor and blocked the four gates. It was difficult for the news in the city to spread. Even if the news spreads, it would take at least ten days and half a month for the Wu Yue army from Liaodong to arrive.

Now a large number of Wu Yue troops suddenly appeared outside the city, which was like a divine weapon descending from the sky, which was so shocked that the defenders were both shattered.

Before the troops in the city captured the government residence, the Wu and Yue army outside the city had arrived, and the smarter people realized that the coup had failed.

However, the people of Li Yu on the front of the city were unwilling to fail.

The leader came to Kim Jong-lin, the brother of the mastermind Kim Jong-won, and he quickly roared: "Hurry up and prepare to defend and block the enemy soldiers outside the city."

Seeing that the city was not responding, Chen Youlong immediately raised his voice, "When the city is opened, I can still open the door. If you are stubborn, you will definitely be a traitor!"

After saying that, Chen Youlong waved his hand and said, "Prepare to attack the city!" and then pulled his horse back into the formation.

At this time, the Wu Yue army outside the city immediately began to prepare for siege, pushing the cannon forward and aiming at the top of the city.

Just as the army was about to bombard the city, a sudden sound was heard. The suspension bridge that was pulled up in front of the city gate slowly fell down, and the city gate was creaking and pushed open by the defenders.

The Wu Yue army outside the city cheered suddenly, Chen Youlong's eyes flashed, and he immediately roared, "The vanguard enters the city!"

A thousand soldiers rushed into the city in a row and controlled the city gate. Seeing that Chen Youlong was not cheating, he immediately led the subsequent four thousand soldiers and horses to pour in.

Inside the city gate, Choi Chengxiu and his confidant who came to reinforce controlled Kim Jong-lin, stood on both sides of the city gate, waiting for Chen Youlong to come in, and salute, "I am begging the general!"

Seeing that Li Jing was attacking the government residence and the front line had advanced. In front of the gate of the mansion, Cui Chengxiu was worried that the reinforcements outside the city would be blocked by the defenders and could not be reinforced in time, so he volunteered to lead his confidant to reinforce. In fact, he took the opportunity to open the city gate and let the Wu Yue army enter the city.

Chen Youlong glanced at him, "Did you open the city gate?"

"It's a humble position!" Cui Chengxiu nodded, and then hurriedly said: "The rebels are very anxious to siege Your Highness. Please send troops to reinforce immediately."

When Chen Youlong heard the words, he immediately whipped the horse whip hard, and the horse was in pain and ran forward. The soldiers behind him all ran wildly, and rushed towards the government office.

At this time, outside the government office of the governor, the Korean army drove away the Han people and achieved certain results. They immediately drove the captured people and started a second wave of attacks.

The rebels' move did contain the Wu Yue army, forcing the Wu Yue army to give up the advantage of firearms and fight with him.

After hearing that the Wu Yue army appeared outside the city, Li Jing made a mistake, made a move, and decided to take a gamble and press all his troops on. But just as his right hand was raised, his movements suddenly stopped.

At this time, Li Jing suddenly turned around, and a killing sound suddenly popped up not far behind him, and a group of soldiers came from behind.

"What's going on? Are they from the Jingying?" Li Jing asked.

Jin Zhongyuan next to him showed fear, "All the troops of the Beijing camp gathered here to attack, and only four guards were left, but they could not come here without the orders of Your Highness!"

Li Jing's face was gloomy and suddenly, and he shouted in pain, "No, it's Wu Yue's army that has entered the city!"

Choi Chengxiu said it well, North Korea lacks everything, but it is not short of North Korean traitors.

As soon as the Wu Yue army entered the city, the wind and the direction of the city changed. The ministers involved hid in their homes one after another. Many rebels saw that the situation was not good, either fled or tied up the leader and turned against him.

Although Wu Yue ruled North Korea and interfered in North Korea's internal affairs, to be honest, the policies implemented by Wu Yue in North Korea benefited greatly from the lower-level people.

The people in North Korea are poor, and the weather is cold for a long time. People are lying on the kang, and there is nothing to do. When they are bored, they can only create villains, causing a small North Korea, with a population of nearly seven or eight million.

With such a large population, and with the mountains and sparse arable land in North Korea, we can tell that North Korea's poverty is.

Wu Yue moved a large number of North Korean population to Nanyang to expand colonization, which harmed the interests of the two nobles and required them to pay more money to hire North Korean people to farm. However, with the decline of North Korean population, the per capita land of arable population increased, but the income increased.

In addition, the trade between Wu and Yue Kingdom allowed North Korea to export ginseng and minerals from North Korea to exchange for a large amount of cloth, tea, porcelain and other daily necessities, which also improved the living standards of North Koreans.

Now, the Wu Yue State is just implementing a policy of Chineseization, allowing them to learn Chinese, write Chinese characters, and learn and speak well, and they can also reduce taxes. It is not that they have no hair left. The people at the bottom actually do not hate Wu Yue State.

As Li Jing exclaimed, the large Wu Yue army had already appeared behind the Korean army.

The Korean army's combat effectiveness has always been stable and has never disappointed. More than 10,000 rebels attacked the government residence of the governor who had less than a thousand guards. They fought for two days but failed to fight. Now they were attacked by the Wu Yue army again, and the rebels immediately dispersed.

Seeing this, Li Jing and others kept twitching, and Jin Zhongyuan next to him said tremblingly: "Your Highness, this is over!"

There were sounds of killing everywhere, and Li Xiu didn't expect it to be like this. He couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet, "You are harming me!"

At this time, the defenders in the government office found reinforcements and immediately became very motivated. They shouted and cheered, and rushed towards the command post.

Looking at the Korean army rolling and crawling, Li Xiao was so shocked that all three souls and seven spirits left their bodies! It's over! It's all over!

"Your Highness! What should I do! What should I do!" the officials around him asked in a verbal manner.

Li Jing said nothing, his face turned pale, and suddenly pushed everyone away and fled towards the palace.

The rebels and ministers around him looked at each other in dismay when they saw this, and then they dispersed in an instant.

As the Wu Yue army entered the city, the Koreans who were originally waiting and watching in the city immediately stood up again and helped maintain order and arrest the rebels to avoid being liquidated by the Wu Yue army.

After the Wu Yue army controlled the city, Zhao Ming led more than a thousand soldiers to the Korean Palace. The defenders guarding the palace surrendered one after another.

Zhao Ming comforted a few words of kindness and asked, "Where is Li Jing now?"

An officer said tremblingly: "I just saw Your Highness and Jin Zongshu going to Fengxian Hall."

When Zhao Ming heard the words, he calmly led more than a thousand soldiers to break into the palace.

In Fengxian Hall, there are tablets of the former kings of Korea in history. Li Xiu knelt in front of the tablet and cried bitterly, "The lonely king is ashamed of his ancestors, and the country is now destroyed!"

Kim Jong-yuan felt sad and kowtowed. While slamming his head against the ground, he cried regretfully: "Your Highness, this is all my fault. I will take it with all my strength and I will protect you from it!"

After saying that, Jin Zhongyuan raised his sword and left the hall. He stood on the steps outside the hall and happened to meet Zhao Ming leading his troops.

"Zhao Ming, North Korea is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and is a minister of the Ming Dynasty as Wu Yue. Do you want to kill our lord and seize the foundation of North Korea?" Kim Jong-won held a sword in his hand and his hair was angrily hung.

Zhao Ming snorted coldly, "The King of Korea is stupid and harming the orphan first, killing the orphan's people. The orphan will follow the heavens!"

"It's so shameless! You obviously want to annex North Korea!" Kim Jong-won shouted angrily: "This matter is all my plan. My Lord is forced by me, so you can kill me. If you hurt my Lord, the people of the Three Koreans will not let you go!"

"Stop!" Zhao Ming shouted angrily, pointed at him with a knife and shouted: "What is your identity, and you can take on such a responsibility. Where is Li Jing?"

"If you want to capture my king, you will not be able to cross my body!" Jin Zhongyuan looked determined and did not give in.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming was furious and waved his sword and pointed at him angrily, "Take it down for me!"

Nearly a hundred soldiers rushed forward and surrounded Jin Zhongyuan. Before the Wu Yue soldiers could take action, Jin Zhongyuan swung his sword to force the soldiers who retreated forward, and then suddenly turned the sword across and committed suicide.

Zhao Ming stepped on Jin Zhongyuan's body and entered Fengxian Hall. A large number of Korean Palace people scattered in panic.

"Your Highness, Li Jing is in the hall!" A soldier came to report.

Zhao Ming waved his hand when he heard the words, and the soldiers behind him stopped immediately. He listened to Zhao Ming's orders: "Enclose the hall and light the fire. This matter cannot be made public. So he said that Jin Zhongyuan was afraid of the crime and burned himself to death, burning Li Jing!"
