Chapter 507 Bing Feng ([-])

"With our current strength, how dare we lead troops to intimidate the North Korean capital and overthrow their incumbent king?" After those North Korean criminal officials were taken away and resettled, Niu Hu shook his head with a smile and said: "I just think that since the North Koreans are internally It’s not monolithic, so maybe I can use it in the future. The most urgent thing is to get more food first, and to stabilize the situation along the Shandong coast a bit, so as to lay the foundation for our continued immigration in the future.”

"Head Niu, this is an old-fashioned statement, and it is also the most important thing we need to do now." Qi Dajiang nodded and said: "In the past few days, you should sort out the island first, and I will take two warships to North Korea first. , to sweep up the North Korean navy along the coast. It is estimated that after more than ten days, when our reinforcements arrive, I will return to Jeju, then choose an important place, rob some food and cloth, and transport them back to Changshan Island. Those North Korean prisoners released The officials don’t seem to deal with their king very well, so you might as well use them more to manage some things in Jeju on this island.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

On June 6, two warships of the State of Qi intercepted four North Korean grain transport ships near Jeju Island, sank one, captured two, and the remaining one fled back to the coastal port of North Korea.

On June 6, Qi State ships encountered three North Korean navy turtle ships near Jindo County, North Korea, sank one and captured two.

On June 6, the ships of the State of Qi captured two North Korean salt ships in the waters near Xin'an County (Xin'an County is the most important sea salt producing area in North Korea).

On July 7, Qi State ships sank two North Korean naval warships near Tai'an, North Korea, captured one, and the rest fled to the inland wharf for shelter.

On July 7, the ships of the State of Qi approached Yeongjong Island, Incheon Duhufu (now Incheon City, South Korea), intercepted three North Korean merchant ships, and captured them all.

On July 7, the ships of the State of Qi broke into the wharf of Dohofu in Incheon, sunk and injured several of the turtle ships of the North Korean navy, and then turned around and left.

On July 7, it was estimated that the reinforcements from Changshan Island had arrived, so Qi Dajiang returned to Jeju Island without further delay.

On Jeju Island, more than a dozen large and small ships of the Qi State have been docked here for two days. Changshan Island not only sent a thousand self-rescue troops, but also sent over a thousand people from the Ming New Army.At the same time, it also brought the latest news from Daming.

A month ago, Li Zicheng was defeated in Shanhaiguan, and then he was chased and killed by Jiannu and Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army all the way. Beijing City didn't want it, so he hurriedly passed the emperor's addiction in the Forbidden City, and then led people to the west without stopping. , It is said that it has retreated into the territory of Shanxi.

In Nanjing, King Fu was established as the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he called on the Jiannu who had entered Beijing to fight against the bandits together and avenge the king's father.

In Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places, the whole territory was in chaos. The officials and gentry who had surrendered to the Dashun regime, after learning that Li Zicheng had failed to leave Beijing and fled to Shanxi, counterattacked and killed Dashun officials and soldiers.

"Anyway" officials and gentry from all over Shandong sent people to the Denglai area (in the first year of Tianqi, the governor of Shandong separated from the governor of Denglai, and the two prefectures of Dengzhou and Laizhou were subordinate), lobbying the local officials and gentry, jointly building a township corps training, and sending troops to kill Dashun Officials, expel Guo Sheng.

"How did the officials in the Denglai area do it?" Qi Dajiang asked with a frown.

"The prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Prefecture are not enthusiastic about this because there are no Dashun officials and soldiers entering. They just want to protect the environment and the people." Duan Xuan, the deputy commander of Changshan Island, said: "However, on the side of Laizhou Prefecture, because Chang Yi County and Wei County have been harassed by Dashun officials and soldiers, and there have been incidents of extortion and extortion of stolen goods, so they responded to the call of officials and gentry and began to attack and kill Dashun officials and soldiers."

"This Dashun is a tree falling and monkeys scattered!" Qi Dajiang sighed: "If it continues like this, wouldn't it be a waste of money to build slaves."

"Huh?" Duan Xuan was a little puzzled, why the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty would make Jiannu cheaper anyway.Even though Jiannu occupies the land of Gyeonggi now, most of the places are still dominated by Daming.

"Oh, that's right." Duan Xuan suddenly thought of something, and said with a strange look: "The officials in the Denglai area heard that the crown prince of Chongzhen and several young princes and princesses were on Changshan Island. They landed on the island together more than ten days ago. I went to see you."

"What's the situation?" Qi Dajiang asked: "You seem to have said just now that a new emperor has been established in the south of the Yangtze River. Now, isn't the crown prince of Chongzhen a little... a little bit helpless."

"What the governor said is true." Duan Xuan smiled wryly, and said, "After the officials from Denglai and Lai visited the prince, they immediately thought of the newly established emperor in Nanjing. They... they can't make a decision now. Listen Said that several messengers had been sent to Nanjing to report the matter....The prince turned pale when he heard that Nanjing had established a new monarch, and cursed at Nanjing for arrogance, treason, and arbitrariness..., and he wanted to issue a statement , Gather all the soldiers and horses from all over the world, and attack those who usurped the throne in Nanjing!"

"..." Qi Dajiang heard the words and suddenly realized that because they failed to send Prince Chongzhen to the south of the Yangtze River in time, they even neglected to inform the officials in the Denglai area of ​​this news, so that the loyal officials of the Ming Dynasty thought that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty He and his heirs were all wiped out, so he had to find another vassal to succeed the Daming Emperor.

"What should I do?" Qi Dajiang murmured, "Nanjing already has an emperor, but we still have a prince who is the most qualified to succeed the emperor on Changshan Island! Does this Ming Dynasty have to fight for himself first?" Does the field decide who the emperor belongs to?"

Because in Qitian's diachronic cognition, the city of Beijing was destroyed, Emperor Chongzhen died, and several of his children fell into the hands of Li Zicheng and Jiannu successively, and then Nanjing would make King Fu enthroned as emperor.Therefore, it was completely unexpected that Prince Chongzhen was brought to Changshan Island due to accidental factors.

Therefore, before Qi Dajiang left, he only explained how to drag Jiannu back, how to support the resistance to Jiannu's rule in the north, and even indirectly support Li Zicheng.But there is no single word to instruct Qi Dajiang how to deal with the power struggle between the remnants of the Ming Dynasty.

"This prince wants to fight for the emperor, does he have soldiers?" Niu Hu said disapprovingly: "The new emperor in Nanjing is definitely not willing to give up the throne he has obtained to the prince. Maybe he will bite back and say that the prince is a fake of."

"But, this prince is real." Duan Xuan said: "Master Huang brought them out of Beijing himself, and this prince has many certificates and seals on him. If someone who knows the prince in Nanjing sees , will definitely confirm his identity. However, what will happen after this, I am afraid it will be unpredictable. It may be true that the governor said that he will fight to the death."

"How does he fight for the emperor?" Qi Dajiang asked, "There are no soldiers in the Denglai area."

"It didn't exist before, but now it does." Duan Xuan said: "The original Ming New Army guerrilla Jiang Yongrui swore allegiance to the crown prince. He brought more than [-] people and traveled thousands of miles from Beijing to Denglai."

"More than 1000 people, what can we do?" Xu Chuanxing, the commander of the Second Marine Battalion, said disapprovingly.

"So, people want to recruit troops in the Denglei area."

"Recruiting troops? Where do they get the money and food?"

"Of course they don't have much food." Duan Xuan said, "So, more than 1000 of them came and planned to follow us to North Korea."

When everyone heard the words, they were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.Co-authored, this North Korea should not only provide the Qi State with food for immigrants, but also provide the necessary food and materials for the expansion of the Ming Dynasty's new army.This North Korea must sacrifice itself for others!

On July 7, the Qi State Fleet, with eight main battleships, carrying more than 10 small boats, and more than [-] marine troops, headed for the Korean waters in a mighty manner.

On July 7, the fleet arrived at Buan County, a coastal town on the west side of Jeolla-do, North Korea (now Buan-gun, South Korea, a county in the west of North Jeolla-do, located on the Biansan Peninsula).

Through the careful guidance of the North Korean prisoners on Jeju Island, the Qi State Fleet and his party chose to land here, because this place is rich in rice and is a famous "rice granary" in North Korea. In addition, the defenses of several nearby counties and towns are extremely weak. These are some weak places where the soldiers of the garrison hall are stationed, which is conducive to the galloping of the army.

On that day, the new army of the Ming Dynasty took the lead and rushed ashore in more than ten small boats. Without waiting for backup to follow up, they went straight to Fu'an County, intending to break into the city with lightning speed.But it is a pity that the Koreans saw dozens of large and small ships approaching from a distance, and immediately closed the city gate, and then stood at the top of the city with swords and spears, ready to fight.

However, when the North Korean defenders saw the soldiers rushing to the city wearing Ming mandarin duck battle jackets and holding the Ming flag, they suddenly panicked.

Tomorrow, call!
