Ming Zuo

Chapter 962 The situation changes suddenly
The guard of Jianghua Island is still Jin Qingzheng.

Under the recommendation of his Laozi Jinliu, he originally came here for gold plating.

As a result, this guy was an idiot, and it took Dorgon just an hour and a half to capture Jianghua Island.

All the royal family of North Korea became captives, and Li Zhen was furious. He was going to order that his head be beheaded.

It happened that Jin Shangxian, Shen Qiyuan and others rebelled, and the government was in chaos, so Li Zhen didn't care about it.

With Jin Liu constantly turning around, Jin Qingzheng's head was finally saved.

But who told him to be unlucky, bad things always found his head.

The beacon smoke on the tower whistle ignited, and the alarm bell immediately rang throughout the island.

Jin Qingzheng was drunk with his arms around the two beauties, but he was so frightened that he lost all sexual interest.Under the cold sweat, he even withered.

He didn't think of the terrible consequences for a while, he put on his clothes and ran outside, just in time to collide with the subordinates he had found.

"Defender, there are enemies coming from the sea."

Jin Qingzheng's mind was a little confused, and before he could think about it, he cursed: "What nonsense, where are the enemies at sea?"

Before the words fell, he suddenly thought of something, and his face was pale at that time.

"Quick! Prepare the sedan chair! This officer is going to check on the enemy's situation."

The subordinates felt sweat on their foreheads.

The enemies are all attacking, and at the critical moment of life and death, they still have to move in a sedan chair.

What can such a master expect?

But there was no way, Jin Qingzheng's body had already been hollowed out by wine and sex.If he was allowed to travel on foot, he would probably die of exhaustion on the way.

After a long while, the sedan chair finally arrived, and Jin Qingzheng spread out inside, pointing to the mountain casually.

The seaside was too far away, and I rushed over to estimate that the day lily was cold, so Jin Qingzheng planned to go to the top of the highest mountain to see the situation.

Fortunately, the defenders on Jianghua Island were still conscientious. Although they did not wait for his order, a group of people had already rushed towards the beach.

However, when the team came to the beach, they didn't know what to do except they were scared to death.

I saw countless warships approaching the coast, and each ship had at least a dozen soldiers on board, and the combined number was dozens of times their number.

Behind these small boats, there are countless large boats lying across the sea.

Before these North Korean soldiers could see clearly, those big ships had already fired their guns.Many shells landed around them, killing a dozen people on the spot.

When did the poor North Korean soldiers see such an explosion?

Immediately, he turned around and fled, only hating his parents for losing two legs.

On the flagship, Huang Fei was reporting to Zuo Menggeng.

"We asked the fishermen nearby, and the garrison on Jianghua Island is only more than [-] people."

It turned out that after Li Zhen surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the war ended and Jianghua Island completely lost its function.The defenders here returned to Hanyang with the Joseon royal family, and then went to Busan with Cui Mingji and Li Sibaek.

The sailors stationed here were also conscripted and went to Liu Lin's command, and they were all buried in the Mingliang Strait.

In peacetime, Jianghua Island did not need too many troops to defend.

Hearing that there were only two hundred defenders on the island, Zuo Menggeng immediately changed his battle plan.

"Order the Marine Regiment to capture Ganghwa Island and nearby islands, wipe out the remnants of the enemy, and establish a logistics base here. The rest of the troops don't have to disembark, and go directly up the Han River to land in Gimpo."

Although Ganghwa Island was the original landing site, it was only because it was an island.Even if the coalition forces of the Qing Dynasty wanted to counterattack, they still needed to cross the strait, so it was not difficult to gain a firm foothold.

But since there are only more than [-] defenders on Jianghua Island, there is no need to invest too many troops here.

After all, the ultimate goal of this operation is Huang Taiji and Hanyang.

Instead of waiting until the occupation of Ganghwa Island, and then crossing the strait to land from here, it is better to go one step further.

At this time, the forward of the Marine Regiment had already set foot on the beach of Ganghwa Island, but the surrounding area was silent, and no resistance force could be seen at all.

The North Korean soldiers who had appeared on the beach earlier had long since disappeared.

As a forward, the First Battalion of the First Marine Regiment did not rush forward, but just dispersed the various companies, and established a defensive line after advancing several hundred meters.

Seeing that the beachhead was stable, the follow-up troops of the [-]st Marine Regiment began to move towards the shore in turn.

After receiving Zuo Menggeng's order, the large army began to turn around and enter the Han River upstream from the northern part of Ganghwa Island.

The strait on the east side of Ganghwa Island faces Gimpo across the sea, but the water of the Han River is divided into two waterways, south and north, in Gimpo.

The waterway on the north side is the Imjin River, and the south side is the main road of the Han River.

Going east along the Han River, you can go directly to Hanyang.

But Zuo Menggeng didn't intend to do that.

Although the surface of the Han River is hundreds of meters wide and the water flow is gentle, its width is limited.

The Qing army had cannons in their hands. If they went too deep rashly, once they were attacked by the Qing army with artillery from the river banks on both sides, the warships would not be able to maneuver, and I am afraid that they would suffer heavy losses.

The correct way to attack is to choose to land in Jinpu and then advance by land and water.

Like Ganghwado, Gimpo was also unprepared.

Xia Jun did not encounter any resistance, and found a landing point on the south bank of the Han River very smoothly.

But in the process, a little accident happened.

"Head, look, there is a woman on the mountain."

The soldiers who were setting up positions on the shore noticed something unusual and immediately reported it to Hao Huaqing, the head of the Second Marine Regiment.

Hao Huaqing picked up the binoculars, and sure enough, he saw a young and beautiful woman standing on the top of the hill on the east side, looking over in fear.

It's really weird for a woman to appear here in the wilderness.

"The fourth battalion seized that mountain, let's see what's going on?"

The [-]th Battalion moved forward immediately and headed straight for the mountain.

The woman on the top of the mountain saw a soldier running, so she turned around and tried to escape, but there was no time.

After a while, she was brought in front of Hao Huaqing.

Hao Huaqing took a closer look and found that although this woman had a sad face, the clothes on her body were more expensive, which meant that she lived a good life.

"Do you understand Chinese?"

Seeing that these soldiers did not use violence, the woman felt a little more at ease even though she was frightened.

She timidly looked at these strange troops, and begged.

"The slave family is here just to miss the husband who was taken away, not to spy on the military plane, and please spare the life of the general."

Hearing that he was a poor man, Hao Huaqing kindly asked: "Who is your husband? Maybe we can find it for you."

Hearing this, the woman was inexplicably surprised.

"My husband was originally a Pyongyang supervisor, but he was captured by barbarians. If the general sees my husband, he must tell him that the prostitute will always be waiting for him in Zujiang."
