Ulutus followed the Southern Army south along the West Bay.

The Northern Army was led by Quan Xu, headed west through Pyongyang City, and flowed up the Nanjiang River, crossed the pass between the Beidafeng Mountains and the Ahu Feiling Mountains, and reached Yuanshan on the east coast of Goryeo. Compared with the terrain of plain hills on the west coast, the east coast is close to the Taibai Mountains, with a rugged terrain, and there are narrow plains only near the sea.

Therefore, there are not many cities on the entire East Coast, and there are not many Dingkou. If there are any products, there is no point in talking about it. This is a weak area of ​​the rule of the Goryeo court. In the current national rebellion, the prefectures and counties on the East Coast were also the first local forces to raise anti-banks.

However, no matter how arrogant they are, they can only bow their heads when facing the fierce Ming army.

Yuanshan City is a small stone city with only two feet of wall. The so-called "living on the mountain and eating on the sea" is the sea. The people of Yuanshan City rely on the convenience of sea.

It’s a pity that the entire maritime trade in Goryeo was not prosperous. Although the Ming Dynasty carried out maritime trade, there were no unique harbors in the coastal area of ​​Yuanshan, Jilin and the southeastern part of Liaoning Province.

Even outside Dalian Port, the Ming Dynasty built Vladivostok Port. However, the official road to Binhai Province has not been completed, Vladivostok Port is only literally.

The maritime trade belongs to Yuanshan Port, only a few Goryeo merchant ships traveled, and most of them were transported to the Goryeo fleeing houses in Binhai Province. Because there were few merchant ships on this sea route, the governments of Binhai Province were willing to accept the people at a good price, so they made a fortune.

At this moment, the gate of Yuanshan City was closed, and there were sparse defenders standing on the city. I saw that the Ming army was gathering more and more, wearing unified armor. The defenders of Yuanshan City, who rarely experienced war, had no intention of leaving the city to fight.

After the Ming army completed the assembly, Quan Xu did not call in front of the formation such as persuading surrender. Instead, he ordered the vanguard to take out the firebottle and prepare the siege ladder at the same time. When the first roar exploded at the top of the city, the less intense siege battle began.

In less than an hour, Yuanshan Town changed its owner.

"Li Shi Shunkun, a commoner in the lower country, paid homage to the general of the upper country." In the county yamen of Yuanshan, a middle-aged man in silk kowtowed to Quanxu and thanked him: "Since the pirates were in chaos a while ago, they have been in a rebellious way in Yuanshan City, and the heavens were angry and resentful. Now the heavenly soldiers of the upper country have driven out the bandits and the place is safe. The kindness of the kindness is really in return. Therefore, the small people discussed with the city center to the people of the upper country, willing to give out their wealth to reward the heavenly soldiers to quell the hardships of the rebellion."

Not long after Quanxu took over Yuanshan City, the rich families in the city recommended this big clan named Li to negotiate with Mingjun. The purpose was naturally to hope that the Ming army would give up their hands and let these rich families in the city go.

Unfortunately, after entering the city, Quan Xu received a message from the secret guards. The group of pirates were actually just thugs kept by these rich families. Occupying Yuanshan County was also plundering people's wealth, and these rich families did not suffer any major losses.

However, a few Ming Dynasty business banks were affected and they robbed all their property. There were also a few Ming Dynasty businessmen who were arrested and regarded as Ming Dynasty thieves who were punished by Ming Zhengdian, and were killed and hung to death under the city gate.

So when Quan Xu looked at Li Shunkun's false performance, he had no good feelings in his heart. But if he wanted to beat all these rich people in one go, he could not turn his back immediately.

Quan Xu also pretended to be a fake, saying that he would hold a banquet in the county yamen and invite the wise men in the city to the banquet. He also asked Li Shunkun to help inform the others, and that he would definitely wait in the county yamen.

Before leaving, Quan Xu also gave some of the confiscated property to Li Shunkun, saying that these were the property of the Li family robbed by the pirates. Now he is returned to him, and the property is returned to the original owner.

Li Shunkun naturally would not refuse such a good thing.

Later, when Li Shunkun and the rich families in the city arrived at the county government office, they found that there were no tables or wine, drinks and dishes inside. They were deserted and quiet, and there was no sign of a banquet. Just as they were confused, the Ming army in armor suddenly rushed out of the house next to them.

"Is this the Hongmen Banquet?" Someone noticed something was wrong and said in surprise.

Li Shunkun was also shocked and dared not believe it: "General, General, we are here to be loyal, why should we draw our swords to face each other?"

Unfortunately, no one answered his questions. Only the sound of slashing the knife was slaughtered, and the county munition became a slaughterhouse in an instant.

Quan Xu looked at these people's screams and death coldly.

Even if they did not deceive themselves, they would still kill these people today. After all, Ulutus said that this conquest of Goryeo would destroy the inheritance and foundation of Goryeo. These wealthy families who are "literate and well-educated" must not be kept.

Yuanshan was the first city in which the Northern Army carried out the battle to destroy the country.

Meanwhile, the west coast of Goryeo.

The Southern Army led by Ulutus did not have the same luck as the Northern Army, and he took the first city so quickly. Instead, after walking a hundred miles, he still had no trace of the enemy.

Since the old Ming Gao Battle, Haizhou and the northwestern prefectures and counties where Kaijing is located have not recovered from the trauma of war.

The local fields are deserted and the people are few. The abandoned cities and villages have grown weeds. Especially the former Goryeo capital, Kaijing, was rarely visited after being destroyed by a fire, and became a habitat for large beasts.

Ordinary Korean people also have the most basic sense of crisis to seek profit and avoid harm.

Everyone is afraid of this abandoned land.

Because in a region without government jurisdiction, the northwest of Goryeo has become a hiding place for many fugitives, smugglers and outlaws. Some people who have no land and cannot leave their hometowns will also flee to this land without tax collectors and carefully cultivate the fields.

Although it is likely that the lives of bandits will be lost, ordinary people will join forces to become bandits, thus surviving in a place without order and rule of law. And those desperate people regard this place as a paradise.

In short, without strong abilities, you must not stay in this crime paradise for too long. Seeing this, the Goryeo court also intended to create a buffer zone between the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo, so they deliberately ignored this situation.

So in less than a year, the local area became a taboo place called by the people.

In fact, Kaijing and Haizhou are located in the northwest, with vast plains. There are many river networks and convenient irrigation, which is the best choice for developing agriculture. Although the army where Ulutus is located sees abandoned prefectures and counties along the way, there are traces of people gathering in places far away from official roads and cities.

However, these people were very alert to the Ming army who came from afar. Before they could get closer, they all fled without a trace.

This situation is naturally not allowed by Ulutus!

In this plain area, he also hoped to resettle refugees from the Central Plains. Leaving these unrestrained bandits ignored it, it would become a disaster for new immigrants from then on. So Ulutus asked the army to rest for three days at the former village sites south of Huangzhou City, and took this time to conduct in-depth mobilization of the entire northwest of Goryeo.

Anyone who refuses to surrender, flees, or attacks the Ming army will kill the people of Goryeo who are willing to kill them. He wants to let this land welcome the arrival of new immigrants cleanly.

Some secret guards placed here also quickly sent the information and clearly pointed out the gathering points of these rioters by marking the map.
