Chapter 374: Strong Enemy
"If I want to say it, I believe that the envoys should be sent to negotiate. If it is too late, I am afraid that the country will not be protected."
Since we have stood up, we have to say what we should say. To put it nicely, we are going to negotiate, but if we are not nice, we are going to surrender. In short, we don’t have the strength to resist others now.
It is normal to end the war early, but as for the conditions proposed by others, it is also normal. Can the winners not want anything?
Surrender before the war begins?
The King of Goryeo's brows frowned into the character "Chuan". He really didn't expect that his prime minister would come up with such an idea.
"I don't agree. When Huang Taiji entered our country of Goryeo that day, he warned us that if he was fickle in the future, the Qing army would sweep the entire country of Goryeo again. At that time, it would be a disaster for the destruction of the country. Have you forgotten it?"
Another minister flashed from the side, reminding them of the terribleness of their neighbors to the north.
The Qing army conquered the Goryeo Kingdom twice in total. Once during the Nurhaci period, Bel Amin led his army to plunder the Goryeo Kingdom, which caused countless casualties and injuries in the entire Goryeo Kingdom thousands of miles away.
The second time was when Huang Taiji personally led his troops to attack Goryeo, in order to make Goryeo recognize the status of the Qing Dynasty as the suzerain state.
Although it was not as good as the first time killing, it also caused great damage to Goryeo and has not recovered until now.
When talking about these two incidents, everyone was shuddered. If it weren't for the two attacks on Goryeo, many people might not be able to stand here!
It was because there were many court ministers who died twice that they had the opportunity to enter the court. If they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, perhaps the fierce Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty would come again.
It was only a few years since Huang Taiji entered the Koryo Kingdom, so everyone still remembered that catastrophe.
The King of Goryeo felt that his head was about to explode.
As the monarch of a small country, you have to travel around the big country, but the people of these big countries are not fools, they all want to let you take the lead.
I surrendered to the Qing Dynasty a few days ago, and the Ming Dynasty's army came over these days.
But if you surrender to the Ming Dynasty today, can you guarantee that the Qing Dynasty will not come in two days?
In the hearts of all the military and civilians of Goryeo, the Qing Dynasty had not yet failed, and they were still as strong as before.
“Urgent report…”
Before they could discuss the result, soldiers outside shouted loudly. In the palace of the King of Goryeo, no one would dare to speak like this if it weren't for something urgent.
"Report to the king that the Ming army had arrived outside the capital. Our navy officers and soldiers went to negotiate, but were sunk. The enemy warships had more than 600, and the patrol general asked the king to decide."
After hearing his words, all the civil and military people in the court were panicked. Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty army was so fast that they had just received the final report from the Jeju Island defenders. Now they have already arrived outside the capital.
More than 600 warships?
The King of Goryeo even dared not dream of so many warships.
In fact, there were not so many warships, it was just an exaggeration from the defenders along the coast.
In Goryeo, if you don’t say the enemy very well, if you fail, the court will likely punish you. First blow out the enemy’s ability so that you can quickly obtain reinforcements.
The Goryeo country is small and weak. Although their country is not on the beach, it is not very far from the beach, and at most it is only a hundred miles. If someone sends troops to attack, wouldn’t it take a few days to come?
this…
The King of Goryeo looked at his palace in a daze. Could it be that he was going to go into exile again?
The Qing people attacked from north to south, and there were still several dangerous places on the land to defend.
However, the Ming army chose to attack from the sea, and no matter how they defended, they could not stop it. The Fusang people were able to stop them back then, relying on the support of the Ming Dynasty. Who should I look for now?
"Speak quickly, talk quickly, what should we do?"
In a panic, the king of Goryeo was also confused, and there was no qualities that a king should have in every move.
In fact, this guy is a fool himself. He usually only wants to enjoy himself, and he has given all the things to the ministers below.
When there were no powerful foreign enemies, these people could also help him rule the Goryeo Kingdom well, but the current situation is beyond the ability of his ministers.
"I remembered that the old prime minister Pu Yucheng has always had friendship with the Ming Dynasty, so why not ask the old prime minister to take action?"
At this moment, a general of the Imperial Spirit Army standing next to him remembered.
Yes, how could you forget the old prime minister?
Speaking of this prime minister of Goryeo, he did have a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Even if Huang Taiji led his men to the capital of Goryeo, this guy did not bow his head.
But at that time, in order to survive, the government and the people could only let him dismiss his post and go home.
When they were fine, they let them go home, but now when they were in trouble, they let them take action. The King of Goryeo also found it a bit difficult to do such a shameless thing.
"Don't panic, the Prime Minister is the most loyal and patriotic. I will go to tell the truth, and the Prime Minister will definitely go to discuss."
The current Prime Minister Jin Balang thought about it and said.
Everyone seemed to think of the old prime minister of their country, and they really cared about this country. Now that the enemy is approaching, they can only put everything on this old prime minister.
"Go quickly."
This king could not wait. If it weren't for the imperial court's rules, he would have to go to the old prime minister's mansion.
The other ministers seemed to have found a savior, and before their king gave orders, they rushed out of the palace.
They were also preparing to kneel down to worship the old prime minister, hoping that the old prime minister could stand up for the country and never let the Ming army come over.
Because of the arrival of the Ming fleet, there was also a panic on the streets of the capital of Goryeo. The old prime minister had already heard about what was happening outside, so when these people came to his mansion, the old prime minister also came out.
"My dear sirs, please tell the king that this is a matter within the jade component. I will discuss it tomorrow morning. Please come back."
These people had already prepared a lot of rhetoric, but who knew that they didn't use anything you could persuade them. They had already prepared to meet with the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone had just breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and suddenly they turned their heads in unison, and the Ming warships fired...
