Xiong Tingbi blasted the Shenglong City Wall while the floating bridge was completed...

Twenty-four pound cannon!

Even the strata can't stand it.

This level is the most important heavy artillery for the European offensive bastion.

Although Shenglong City is also quite solid, it is just a city that was placed at the level of the provincial capital of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the circumference of Shenglong Outer City at this time was twenty-five miles. It was almost the same as Liaoyang under the continuous bombardment of twenty-four pound cannons, and the rammed earth-covered brick wall quickly collapsed.

Moreover, the city also ignited a large fire due to flowering bullets and heavy rocket bombardment, so it is actually very easy to attack.

Xiong Tingbi did not attack the city.

As a result, there was civil strife in Shenglong City that night.

Those local wealthy families who did not want to follow the Zheng family to be buried immediately raised an army to try to support the Ming army. Zheng Song, who knew that the situation was hopeless, led the Later Li Dynasty emperor Li Weixin to break through, and then was intercepted and killed by the cavalry outside the city who had been waiting for a long time.

During the melee, Li Weixin was shot dead by Liu Zhaosun, while Zheng Song escaped with his remaining troops.

The next morning, the melee in Shenglong City ended. Xiong Tingbi took Mo Jinggong to enter the city by the local wealthy families. Then Mo Jinggong cleaned up the wealthy families...

This is a performance of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

After all, these guys represent Annan's local separatist ideas.

Most of them were descendants of the family who supported Li Li and then worked as fences among Li Mo Zheng and other families over the years, but they themselves were consistent in the principle of refusal.

If Mo Jinggong wants to show loyalty to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he must cut off from these old forces. The easiest way to cut off is a killing, using their heads as a letter of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. Besides, the Daming Heavenly Soldiers regained his territory for him, he must be ignorant. He has to thank him. Now he is so poor that he will die of poverty. If he doesn't kill these guys and then confiscate their houses, what will he thank the Heavenly Soldiers? That's nearly 100,000 troops waiting.

You can get the children's treasures!

All understand!

In this way, Mo Jinggong used a bunch of heads from old wealthy families to prove his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

Just as Xiong Tingbi conquered Shenglong, restored Jiaozhou Prefecture, and then took charge of Jiaozhou and began to conquer various parts of Annan, Yang Feng's army arrived in Seoul.

but……

Governor Xiaoxi has withdrawn.

He is not stupid. Maori Hiromoto was defeated by a crushing defeat. He would have to stay behind for 10,000 yuan and wait for death?

He and the withdrawn Maori Huiyuan and others evacuated Seoul with a total of less than 20,000 defeated generals. Before leaving, they vented their anger and killed the city. They could be said to be that they would not leave any chickens and dogs. All the food was burned, all the houses were burned, and livestock were also lit up. In the end, the Seoul that Yang Feng recovered was not even left.

"frenzied!"

Yang Xiangguo said angrily.

In front of him was His Highness, the King of Korea who was crying at the ruins of his palace.

"If you pass the order, you must kill all the President Konishi, Maori Hiromoto and others!"

Yang Feng said.

Of course, he can understand President Konishi's choice.

After all, he needs supplies.

But now a cleared Seoul would not give him any supplies. In fact, the army chasing here had no food and had to start slaughtering the horses, but it was definitely impossible to continue chasing forward. Now they can only wait for supplies. Fortunately, although there is ice in Incheon Port, it is only thin ice on the nearshore, which does not hinder the passage of ships, so the supply from Shandong will be delivered soon.

"The king is mourning, and your country has indeed suffered many disasters over the years."

Yang Feng said.

When he said that Li Bing cried even more sadly.

Last time I came back, there were only a few hundred people left in Seoul.

In recent years, the remnants of the hidden mountains and forests have returned one after another. The royal city has barely recovered its vitality. Now there is only one living person left. Although he doesn't care about the lives of the people, the problem is that as the king, he will eventually have to be exploited to maintain his wealth and wealth!

All people are dead, does he farm by himself?

The palace was still there last time, but this time even the palace was burned to ruins. Could it be that he would build a shed?

"Fortunately, everything is over and we are not sad now. We should look at the future and look forward. Everything will be fine. However, the king's country is now so ruined, so we should indeed think about what to do in the future."

Yang Feng said.

Li Bing woke up instantly.

"What does the Prime Minister mean?"

He stood up and wiped his tears and said.

"The population of your country is now totaling, probably only one million, right?"

Yang Feng said.

There are only one million more.

Originally, the population before the Korean War was 4 million in history, but according to the population statistics of the Korean government and later census, the actual population was twice as high as the official one. Now this formula can be applied, that is, the population of North Korea was about 8 million before the war. They did not conduct statistics after the last war, but according to the scale of the war, it is certain that half of the population was lost, and the north was ceded to the Ming Dynasty. Even if this part of the population is small, it must be one-quarter.

What's more, this part has not suffered much damage.

The main battlefields that North Korea suffered the worst losses were Chungcheong Do and Gyeongsang Do.

In other words, North Korea would not have more than three million people after the war, and then it was visited by Japan twice. This time it was killed no worse than last time. There were heads hanging on the trees along the way.

No matter how much you have to lose half of your population.

So the remaining North Korean population will not exceed two million, or about one and a half million.

Li Bing nodded in grief.

"This population is not very old for a year. If you want to support civil and military officials, and to support the army, you have to rebuild them in various places. These are all cost money. Now you don't have money, so why bother with this? I have a suggestion that you might as well consider it. Instead of suffering from being an external vassal, it is better to offer land to be an internal vassal. Now the inner vassal of the Ming Dynasty also gives fiefdoms. You offer land to Your Majesty as an internal vassal. Your Majesty grants you part of the land in Korea. As for which piece, how big it is, you can choose.

Then you don’t need to care about all civil and military officials, and you don’t need to raise the army anymore. These are all your Majesty’s, so they will naturally be raised by your Majesty.

And you guard this fiefdom and collect money and grain from the fiefdom every year.

How good is it to be a rich man happily?

Why should you suffer that sin again?”

Yang Feng said.

If you don’t annex North Korea if you do this, it will be Tianyu who won’t take it.

Li Jian was entangled...

Should we give up the North Korean king to be a rich man, enjoy the glory and wealth happily, or should we guard a broken and poor country and worry about the identity of a king?

Then he suddenly felt a chill, and he looked up at the guy with the money rat tail opposite him.

The latter was looking at him with a smile.

He immediately woke up.

"How many fiefs can Xiao Wang want, Prime Minister?"

He said.

He had no choice, and he proposed to him to give him face, but if he didn't give Yang Prime Minister face, then Yang wouldn't do anything to him, but Yang Prime Minister's dog would be different.

"This is easy to say. The king is a prince. If he offers his land, he can still be promoted to the title of vassal king.

Now the court has no standards, just look at the rewards from Your Majesty. I, a county prince, have tens of millions of hectares. Although those are bitter and cold lands, the king must not want that. But even if you want good land left, you can still get millions of acres by your contribution to land. In fact, I think you can take the plains in the Quanzhou area, which is originally a granary of your country and has a large population left. The imperial navy should have already landed, and the Japanese army will not retreat there.

Therefore, the population can be retained, and even if the population is not enough, you can give it to you from another place.

No matter how much you have to make up a million people for the king.

It is not a bad idea to migrate all the remaining population in North Korea there.

However, since the fief is attached to the fief, these people are also people of the Ming Dynasty. They are managed by local officials stationed in the Ming Dynasty and protected by the Ming army.

It’s just that the production of the fiefdom is for the king. In addition, the king also has to pay taxes. Just pay according to the court system, and there is not much in a year.”

Yang Feng said.

"Xiao Wang understand."

Li Jian said.

This should be OK.

The best agricultural area in North Korea is nothing more than the plain in Jeonju. In the past, it also needed food supply in the Jeonla area in Seoul.

There is equivalent to Su Songchang of the Ming Dynasty.

The best agricultural area is also the main source of civil officials.

He wanted to make a fiefdom there and migrate the remaining population of North Korea as much as possible. More than one million people were enough to accommodate them. Then, under the protection of the Ming Dynasty, he did not have to support civil and military officials or military officials, and he did not have to support the army. All his income and taxes were paid every year were spent on the whole world. It was very beautiful to think about it!

There are millions of acres of rice fields there, and just collecting rent alone means huge income every year, and they are all used to spend money on the world.

Of course, North Korea is gone.

But there is no need to consider this at this time. Besides, how can he be so happy if he keeps North Korea?

"Xiao Wang will report the report now."

He said.
