1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 490 Donglai Trip ([-])

On October 1643, 10, a group of twelve ships from the Qi State Fleet gathered at Nanchangshan Island.

On October 10, the fleet of Qi State left the wharf of South Changshan Island, headed south first, and after arriving at the southern tip of Changshan Island, turned around and headed straight to the east.

After October 10, the fleet arrived at the coast of North Korea, and then went south along the coastline, capturing all North Korean ships encountered along the way.

On October 10, the fleet approached Dongnae (now Busan, South Korea), an important coastal town in Gyeongsangdo, southeastern North Korea.

The reason why Qi’s fleet chose to land in the coastal area of ​​Gyeongsang-do was that during the Battle of Bingja (the Qing army invaded North Korea in 1637), they established slaves and invaded North Korea, which caused heavy damage to the domestic social economy, especially in the northwestern part of North Korea. Great damage.At that time, among the eight kingdoms of North Korea, only Gyeongsang Province was not affected by military disasters (Jolla Province was rebelled by the defeated North Korean soldiers), and the area was still rich and rich, with capital to plunder.More importantly, this is also an important granary of the Korean Kingdom, where a large amount of grain that is most valued by the Qi State is stored here.

On the other hand, the fleet of the State of Qi attacked this area of ​​Korea, which is the closest to Japan, and destroyed the local social economy. It could also prevent the foreign trade of the Tsushima Clan clan on Tsushima Island in Japan, reduce the import of Japanese domestic materials, and be able to Indirectly enhance and strengthen the role of their "free trade zone" in Ryukyu.It can be said to kill two birds with one stone and serve multiple purposes.

Seven or eight small fishing boats scattered on the sea fled into Dongnae (Busan) Wharf and the Nakdong River estuary immediately after seeing the ships of the Qi State Fleet.

"There should be several forts at the pier, but I don't know how powerful they are. However, since we are about to start transporting immigrants back to Hanzhou in two months, I suggest not to take the risk of directly attacking the port, so as not to damage the ships." Fleet Combat The staff officer suggested to Niu Jinming: "Still according to our previous style of play, the fleet directly avoids the direction of the fort of the port pier, stops at the nearby coast, and first puts the marines and local soldiers ashore first, and waits for them to seize the port."

Niu Jinming nodded, approved of the combat staff's opinion on landing operations, and then ordered the fleet to continue heading northeast.In the afternoon, the fleet came to a coast with relatively gentle land, and carefully observed the shore. There were no North Korean soldiers waiting in full force, only dozens of North Korean civilians were running inland in a panic.

"Put down the survey boat!"

"Put down the landing boat!"

"Marines ready to disembark!"

"The country soldiers are ready!"

"..."

After Niu Jinmin issued the landing order, more than ten ships immediately became busy.Two shallow-draft galleys sailed cautiously towards the coast, trying to cover the last distance for the dozen or so landing boats behind.

Yue Zhongwu held his musket, wrapped his coat tightly around his body, stared at the shore that was getting closer and closer, and silently hoped in his heart that it would be best for the boat to rush directly to the beach. The soldiers of the clan don't have to wade through the icy sea to land on the shore.

However, the boat ran aground on the beach more than ten meters away from the shore, and seven or eight marine soldiers jumped into the sea with muskets and rushed towards the shore with all their might.

"Assemble!...Assemble!" A platoon leader of the Marine Corps shouted loudly: "Three rows of musket fire arrays!...Bayonets on! Pay attention to the surrounding enemy situation!"

Yue Zhongwu looked back at the sea. The small boats carrying people had already returned to pick up more brothers to land. More than ten large ships turned their hulls sideways, and all the gun windows were opened. Aiming at the beachhead.

North Korea established a Dongnae Protectorate in Dongnae (Busan). After Japan provoked two large-scale wars of aggression against Korea in 1592 and 1597 (Imjin Japanese Invasion and Jeongyou Rebellion), the Busan area was adjacent to Japan’s Tsushima. The island, its strategic position is extremely important, and North Korea also set up the Gyeongsangzodo Navy Jedo Battalion here, and set up several towns to defend the coast.

Just as the Qi State raiding fleet was landing, the Korean Navy, composed of more than [-] turtle boats and galleys, sailed from Donglai (Busan) Wharf, and stopped a few miles away from the Qi State Fleet.It may be that it was unclear for a while which national power this large fleet, including many gunboats, belonged to, and the North Korean navy did not dare to rush over directly.

After hesitating for a long time, finally a galley slowly approached the Qi fleet, and was stopped by a professional warship.

After Jin Shixiu climbed onto the gunboat, all the people he saw, except for a few barbarians, looked like Ming people, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps a naval fleet from the south of the Ming Dynasty broke into the Korean waters and took the opportunity to come here. This hits the autumn wind.

As a coastal defense envoy and a fifth-rank military officer, Jin Shixiu still has a great impression of Daming. After all, it was the suzerain of the Korean Kingdom for hundreds of years. More than 40 years ago, it even saved the Korean Kingdom from danger. En Same as reinvention.Although North Korea has been conquered by the "barbarians" and paid tribute to them, their hearts still belong to the suzerain of the Ming Dynasty.

"Excuse me, which side... does your army belong to?" Jin Shixiu asked cautiously.

"We are the naval fleet of the Great Qi Kingdom, a friendly state of the Ming Dynasty. We are here today to punish the Korean Kingdom for betraying its vassal status, to pay tribute to the Jiannu, and to provide them with military supplies, food, grass and soldiers to help the tyrant. Attack Daming." Zeng Dachang, the captain of Xingbo, said loudly.

"Ah?" Jin Shixiu was startled and frightened when he heard that.

Where is the Daqi Kingdom a foreign country?He didn't care about this, but in the words just now, the other party claimed that North Korea betrayed its vassal status and assisted the establishment of slaves to attack Ming Dynasty, and they punished them for this!With more than ten gunboats and hundreds of artillery pieces, how can they be defeated by the small sampans of the North Korean navy?
"My North Korea betrayed Ming Dynasty, it's a last resort!" Jin Shixiu shouted: "The barbarians are tyrannical, and the Celestial Dynasty can't help me North Korea, how can they cut me down so easily?"

"Since there is no other choice, is your King of Korea willing to return to Daming and attack Jiannu?" Zeng Dachang asked.

"How did this happen?" Jin Shixiu said subconsciously: "The barbarians are so sharp that we cannot defend ourselves against North Korea."

"Hehe..." Zeng Dachang sneered twice, and said, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me, the Daqi Kingdom and Daming for attacking North Korea! You go now!"

"Impossible..." Jin Shixiu shouted: "Great Ming is a great country of benevolence and righteousness. It is really unjust to attack North Korea at this time. If the Celestial Dynasty is like this, our North Korea has three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, and millions of people will resist to the death..."

"Tian Cao! Throw him into the sea!" Zeng Dachang said impatiently.

Even if you North Korea "abandon the dark and turn to the bright" and return to Daming, then we must beat you!After several months of planning, so many ships were mobilized, several attack locations were researched and screened, and a part of the new Ming army was kidnapped, how could they return empty-handed?

While the North Korean navy watching from afar was still at a loss, the Qi fleet had already dispatched five ships and rushed towards them, tearing at the many prey in front of them like tigers in a herd of sheep.According to Niu Jinming's order, sink or capture all North Korean ships near Pusan, and weaken North Korea's sea power as much as possible, so as not to be used for slavery in the future.

The battle at sea lasted only half an hour. Twelve warships of the North Korean navy were sunk, six were captured, and the remaining few fled into the mouth of the Nakdong River in embarrassment.

The North Korean navy was easily defeated at sea, and when more than [-] marines and township soldiers had gathered on land, Dongnae Duhufu (Busan) sent more than [-] guards to prepare to expel the boarders. "Wandering Japanese pirates at sea".

The Marine Corps and the township soldiers did not wait for the North Korean army to gain a foothold. They fired three consecutive volleys of muskets, and then charged with bayonets. In the end, at the cost of two people killed and six wounded, more than 480 North Korean army soldiers were killed, wounded, and captured. Almost wiped out the opponent.

After annihilating the troops sent by Dongnae (Busan), the marines and township soldiers had no time to rest and launched a forced march. After an hour, they suddenly attacked Dongnae Wharf. After a short and fierce battle, three people were killed and five were injured. At the same price, they conquered the dock fort, and then, with the help of the new Ming army who came, they captured all the North Korean officials, soldiers, and many wharf workers in the port.

Afterwards, the Marine Corps and the township soldiers quickly went out of Donglai City, making a threatening posture.

Jiang Yongrui, the commander-in-chief of the new army of the Ming Dynasty, led a group of officers and soldiers to guard the captured North Korean officials and ordinary people at the dock.From landing and gathering, to destroying the North Korean government troops who came to stop them, and then quickly assaulting the dock fort, and conquering it, and finally occupying the dock area.The whole process did not exceed two hours, and the casualties were extremely slight.

If it is said that North Korea's military strength is weak and vulnerable, it is not entirely true.North Korea's blunderbusses were still quite threatening, but Wu Yiran, the Qi army, was not afraid. He lined up dozens of steps away from the front of the North Korean army.The entire combat process was smooth and flowing without any sense of lag. The officers gave clear and clear instructions, and the soldiers were brave and decisive. After defeating the enemy, they calmly pursued them. They ignored the pick-up of supplies abandoned by the enemy on the way, and did not cut off their heads.

This is the elite teacher, the mighty teacher, and the skilled teacher!If our officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can learn its essence and train hundreds of thousands of people, why worry about not destroying Jiannu, and why worry about refugees swarming up.
