Ming Zuo

Chapter 965
Jin Qingzheng is a generation of wine bags and rice bags, and he has no skills at all.

When he climbed to the top of the mountain and saw Xia Guo's army had gathered on the beach, his first thought was to run away.

However, this decision was unanimously approved by the defenders of Jianghua Island.

There were only a few hundred people, and they lacked weapons. What would they use to fight Xia's army?

After Jin Qingzheng was trapped on Jianghua Island, his majesty had already been swept away.Unexpectedly, the first time I expressed my ideas, I got unanimous approval.

This made him regain his confidence, and immediately led everyone to run eastward.

Just at the place where the strait meets the estuary of the Han River, there is a wharf, where the boats entering and leaving Ganghwa Island usually stop here.

When Jin Qingzheng ran all the way here with the defenders of Jianghua Island, he couldn't help but feel completely desperate.

On the surface of the sea, Xia Jun's warships were endless.

Most of them have gone up the river and headed east.Another part was forced towards the pier.

Obviously Xia Jun did not intend to let the defenders on Jianghua Island go.

"Sir, what should I do?"

Yuhou Xianqi has nothing to do, so he can only count on the symbol of gold at this time.

"Get on board, let's run south."

Jin Qingzheng felt that they might be able to be rescued.

Although Xia Jun's warships were approaching, the Jianghua Strait was very narrow.As long as you get on the boat and the big guys work hard, you can cross the past.

As long as you get to the other side, you have a very good chance of running away.

Everyone is in a state of confusion, blindly obeying orders when someone gives them orders.

So a group of people ran towards the pier.

The people at the front had already boarded the trestle, and the boat was right in front of them.

Suddenly there was a thunderbolt explosion, and all the people on the trestle bridge were swept away.

Immediately, the explosion resounded throughout the port, and one ship after another was all destroyed in the artillery fire.

The people who were still alive were stunned, watching everything that happened, they were all frightened and lost their strength.

"Surrender! Let's surrender!"

Jin Qingzheng didn't have much backbone. Seeing such artillery strikes, he immediately understood how to survive.

The other North Korean soldiers naturally have no backbone.

Now the pier has been destroyed, trapped on an isolated island, if you don't surrender, you will die sooner or later.

So a large group of people hula la all knelt on the beach and threw their weapons far away to prove that they had nothing to do with them.Then they raised their hands high and stretched their necks, begging Xia Jun not to fire again.

Xia Jun is of course a teacher of civilization, and he has already noticed the actions of these people.

Seeing them kneeling and surrendering, the shelling stopped.

Dozens of small boats quickly landed, and a battalion of Xia soldiers jumped off and surrounded them.

The bayonet was shining coldly, and the tall and mighty appearance of the soldiers of the Xia Army made these Koreans unable to resist at all.

At the critical moment of life and death, Jin Qingzheng shouted at the top of his voice.

"My father is the leader of the North Korean government. I implore the Heavenly Army to spare my life. I am willing to persuade my father to vote for the Heavenly Army."

Zhao Xianbing, the political commissar of the First Marine Regiment, had already walked over. Hearing that the prisoner in front of him turned out to be Jin Liu's son, he couldn't help grinning.

"Take care of them and give them something to eat. If you don't resist, don't tie them up."

The capture of Jin Liu's son was a major event and must be reported to the higher authorities.

But in any case, for the first regiment of the Marine Corps, this is all credit.

Before the landing operation, the four regiments of the First Marine Division had already received their respective tasks.

The First Marine Regiment was responsible for the landing on Ganghwa Island. In addition to helping to establish a logistics base, it also had to attack the surrounding areas.

Yeongjong Island, Wolmido Island, and Incheon in the south, and Yan'an County, Baichuan County, Kaifeng County, and Kaesong in the north are also their targets.

After discussing with Zhao Xianbing, the head of the First Marine Regiment, Miao Guangxian, decided to go south first and then go north.Prioritize the capture of Incheon and help the brother troops relieve their worries.

Of course, the first step is to clear all the remaining enemies on Jianghua Island.

After interrogation, Jin Qingzheng learned that these captives were the only garrison forces on Jianghua Island.

However, there are so many officials scattered everywhere, and all of them will become factors of instability.

Since there would be no resistance, Miao Guangxian and Zhao Xianbing simply dispersed the entire regiment on a scale of company level to search every corner of the island.

Huangwangli, Huadao-myeon, in the south of Jianghua Island, is a very strange village.

The village faces the sea, and the other three sides are surrounded by mountains, forming an isolated natural environment.

There are not many people in the village, and they are not allowed to go fishing.Fortunately, there is enough land in front of the village, and the people work hard to barely eat their food.

People here live a closed life with little contact with the outside world.

Here, the head of the village is the emperor, who has the power to say what he says.

It's just that the man was sent by the government, and in addition to managing the village, he also had supervisory responsibilities.

But today the whole village is in chaos. After all, everyone heard the rumbling cannons.

After the Qing army captured Jianghua Island last time, they did not find it here.It was really cold, and the Qing army didn't bother to climb the mountain, so the people in Huangwangli escaped unharmed.

But this time, an army came here.

The only way out of Huangwangli is to go east along the foot of the mountain, and go outside after bypassing the whole mountain.

This path is hidden in the dense forest, and non-locals can't find it at all.

Xia Jun was naturally not on this list.

The surrendered Joseon soldiers were very attentive and acted as guides one after another, and informed of the existence of Hwangwangri.

Originally it was just a small village, Yao Guangxian and Zhao Xianbing didn't care about it.But after hearing what the guide told about the situation in this village, Zhao Xianbing immediately keenly realized that the matter was of great importance.

He was a little worried, and personally led a company here.

There are several independent thatched houses at the west end of the village, which seem out of place with other families.The door of this courtyard is always closed on weekdays, and the people inside seem unwilling to come out.

The only one who often hangs out outside is a scholar.

The sun was just right today, and the young scholar was basking in the sun outside the wall, looking bored.

When he saw Xia Jun walking this way, the scholar couldn't help but widen his eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that Xia Jun's soldiers were all holding muskets in their hands, he wouldn't even be able to guess what these people were doing.

The guide led Zhao Xianbing all the way to the outside of the courtyard.

"General, the invalid is inside."

The scholar quickly got himself together and tidied up his robes.

"Xu Xiu, who came after the Xu family in Xiayangchuan, is it the Heavenly Army of Xia Kingdom?"

Seeing that the scholar spoke Chinese very fluently, Zhao Xianbing took a liking to him.

"How do you know that we are Xia Guo's army?"

This is tantamount to acknowledgment, which makes the scholar very excited.

"My father is currently working as a horse farm officer on Jeju Island."

The First Marine Division has been stationed on Jeju Island for more than half a year, and already knows the situation on the island well.

Zhao Xianbing couldn't help being surprised.

"Since you are Xu Diansheng's son, why are you here?"
