The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 578

The Qing soldiers came in a menacing manner, unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the foot of the Nanhan Mountain City, suddenly the guns rang out from above, and countless shells and bird guns attacked the Qing soldiers head-on.

In the past few years, Ding Yi has sold a lot of iron cannons and bird guns to North Korea. Although the quality is poor, North Korea has not fought with others in the past few years, and the cannons and guns sold by Ding Yi are all in this Nanhan Mountain City. In the hands of the guards.

The Qing soldiers were hit head-on and suffered heavy casualties. After leaving more than 400 corpses behind, they fled back in embarrassment.

Huang Tai was very angry, and beheaded three Niu Luzhangjing who were retreating in one breath.

Then he and Gebeile also discovered that the garrison troops in Nanhan Mountain City had extremely sharp firearms, and they were actually a bit like the Ding Yi Department of the Ming Army.

At this time, as in the original history, there were Jurchen Varkas who had settled in North Korea and saw the opportunity to join the Qing soldiers and told Huang Taiji that there were originally only a thousand people in Nanhan Mountain City, but now tens of thousands of people live in it at once, and there must be insufficient food. It will take two to three months at most to run out of food.

Hearing this news, Huang Taiji decided to besiege Nanhan Mountain City.

Li Zhen was still full of confidence at the beginning, dreaming that the [-] Ming army would encircle the Qing soldiers, and it would be best to beat the slave chief Huang Taiji to death in one fell swoop.

Then the Qing soldiers attacked the city and were severely injured by them. North Korea was full of joy, happier than defeating the Qing soldiers.

But one day, two days and three days, half a month passed, and the Ming army did not move at all.

At this time, Li Jing began to panic, and Nanhan Mountain City was surrounded by groups, and their external communication was completely cut off.

At this time, let alone the reinforcements of the army, there is no sign of reinforcements from the country.

From time to time, the Qing soldiers would hold up the heads of North Korean generals who had been killed by the siege with knives and guns, and show them off around the Namhan Mountain City to intimidate the North Korean monarchs and ministers.

Generals from all walks of life, Xu Wan, Zhao Yanhu, Quan Jingji, Hong Mingxuan, etc. were killed one after another. The Qing soldiers held their heads and wandered around every day, which greatly shook the morale of the Korean soldiers and horses.

The excitement after the last big victory quickly dropped to a freezing point, and Namsan Seoul was filled with sadness.

Huang Taiji outside is also having a hard time. He is also considered a lone army who went deep into the enemy's country, relying on plunder for food, and surrounded the mountain city of Nanhan for half a month.

At this time, the Jurchen Varka people paid attention again. They said that Ganghwa Island in North Korea is an important place to store grain, with hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass on it, and the monarchs and ministers of North Korea have always liked to retreat to Ganghwa Island. Daughters, they have all fled there. As long as they break through Jianghua Island, they will be able to force Li Ji to surrender.

In fact, Huang Taiji was also planning to attack Ganghwa Island. They attacked Ganghwa Island for food. They didn't expect that there would be a son of Joseon on it, but after hearing what the Varka people said, they felt that they wanted to attack Ganghwa Island.

Originally, Huang Taiji asked Dorgon to send troops to fight, because this time Dorgon was in charge of guarding Yizhou, watching their retreat and preventing them from being intercepted by the Ming army.

After much deliberation, Huang Taiji decided to send Shuotuo to take boats around and lead [-] soldiers to storm Jianghua Island. Yuetuo and Yang Guli led [-] elite cavalry to respond on land to prevent other North Korean soldiers from attacking.

Shuo Tuo was the second son of Dai Shan. He was 37 years old at the time, and he was in his prime of life.

The fate of this person is a bit bad. As I said before, Daishan has a very violent temper, especially for Shuo Tuo. Shuo Tuo, who was dissatisfied with Dai Shan's abuse a long time ago, planned to run away from home, but Dai Shan insisted His own son threw himself into the Ming Dynasty and asked Nurhachi to execute Shuo Tuo five or six times before the matter came to light.After all, this is Nurhachi's grandson. Of course, the truth must be found out before dealing with it. Finally, Nurhachi released Shuotuo.

During his lifetime and even after his death, Shuotuo never enjoyed the same honor as his younger brother Sahalian.

In the early days when the family property was well divided, the rich family members were left to the youngest son, but the poor family members were distributed to Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo.Shuotuo was dissatisfied with his father's abuse of him, and once conspired to surrender. After the incident was revealed, he was imprisoned in the high wall (a special prison for house arrest members) by his grandfather.

Soon, he was released and awarded the title of Baylor for his accumulated military achievements.In the fourth year of Tiancong (1630), Shuotuo and his uncle Amin gave up Yongping City and lost, and was sent to Baylor to seize the population.

So the current Shuotuo is not even Baylor, but Gushan Beizi.

He also held his breath, and this time he wanted to make great contributions to North Korea.

Before that, he and Duoduo led the army together, and they were the second wave of Qing soldiers entering the dynasty. There were only 1000 soldiers, and Duoduo was the commander.

He didn't play much role either, and he won several battles, and it was Duoduo who made the first contribution.

Fortunately, when he fought Jianghua Island this time, Huang Taiji finally thought of him.

There were only 1000 defenders on Jianghua Island, and Huang Taiji gave him 2000 troops, half of which were the elite Jurchens of Zhenghongqi.

There are also Yue Tuo and Yang Guli protecting their rear, Shuo Tuojue's battle is sure and will surely succeed.

After receiving the order, he immediately mobilized around and robbed the boats of the nearby Koreans. Just like in the original history, they grabbed more than 80 sampan boats in total.

In the original history, under the guidance of the local Koreans who surrendered, Dorgon chose Jiachuanjin to attack, and it really succeeded in one fell swoop.

At this time, Shuo Tuo was watching and waiting on the shore with his subordinates.

This time, there were also North Koreans giving pointers, signaling them to attack from Jiachuanjin.

But Shuotuo was considering whether to do it all at once, or to cover it up in batches.

Because the waterway in Jiachuanjin is shallow and small, there are too many boats going up, fearing that it will be blocked.

"Shutuo Beizi, I once heard Li Yongfang say that Ding Yi also broke through Jianghua Island back then, and Jianghua Island's defense must be stricter now than before. Let's go all out and go up with the whole army." Here, it feels funny.

This person is none other than Ding Yi's old brother for many years, Brother Zaba.

Zaba is also a member of Zhenghongqi and Daishan's brother-in-law. This time, he followed Shuotuo on the expedition.

Although his seniority is high, but his position is low, he can only follow behind Shuo Tuo and offer advice.

Li Yongfang was in charge of the Qing army's detailed operations department, and she was relatively clear about Ding Yi's attack on North Korea.

This is why Huang Taiji must conquer North Korea, and North Korea and Ding Yi will never be allowed to collude together.

"Where did Ding Yi attack from?" Shuotuo turned his head and asked the North Korean.

The North Koreans looked blank, obviously not knowing.

After all, this was a scandal in North Korea back then, it was very embarrassing, and it was impossible to publicize it everywhere.

I don't know why, when Ding Yi was mentioned suddenly, Zaba felt a chill in his heart. He turned his head to look reflexively, for fear that Ding Yi's soldiers and horses would suddenly appear behind him.

"Where are the soldiers and horses of Yuetobele and Yanguli?" Zaba subconsciously asked a cavalry behind him.

The man said loudly: "They are patrolling around, flanking our rear wings."

Yue Tuo and Yang Guli were all cavalry, running around on the bank to prevent North Korean soldiers from attacking Shuo Tuo's side.

Shuotuo laughed loudly: "The North Korean reinforcements have all been defeated, so there are still soldiers who dare to come."

He felt that Huang Taiji was too careful, but of course he dared not say it.

The corners of Zaba's mouth twitched slightly, and he whispered, "I'm afraid that the Ming army will appear suddenly."

"Ming Jun?" Shuo Tuo laughed, Ming Jun was drinking and hugging his young lady at Phi Island, how could he appear in North Korea?

Don't be afraid even if it comes, will the Ming army change to fight with us?
Huang Taiji asked Dorgon to garrison Yizhou. If the Ming army came to attack, they would definitely pass through Yizhou.

As long as Yizhou is not broken, they can advance and retreat freely in the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Shuo Tuo really said: "Don't waste time, the Korean soldiers are vulnerable, worse than the Ming army, so attack from Jiachuanjin."

Since entering North Korea, the Qing soldiers fought against the Korean soldiers many times, and they won many battles. The Korean soldiers were not even as powerful as the Ming army. Shuo Tuo no longer took the Korean soldiers seriously.

At that moment, he decided to attack from Jiachuanjin.

On April 2000nd, Shuotuo's 80-strong army, half of which were the elite red flags and half of the Mongolian army, took [-] small sampans in the early morning and pointed directly at Jiakushijin in the north of Ganghwa Island.

At the same time, Zhang Shen, the guard, had also received the news a long time ago and led 20 North Korean wooden house boats northward from Guangcheng.

The result turned out to be the same as in history. When Zhang Shen’s boat was a few hundred meters away from Jiachuanjin, the tide suddenly ebbed, and the Korean navy stood still. A string of Tianjin.

Both Zaba and Shuotuo were in the middle of the fleet, just in time to see Zhang Shen's navy stopped several hundred meters away due to low tide, they looked at each other and laughed.

"God help me Qing Dynasty." Zaba said with a smile.

"These North Korean fools." Shuo Tuo also laughed.

In fact, in history, if Zhang Shen did not attack easily, he moved the artillery on the ship to Jiachuanjin, gathered a large number of troops, and attacked the landing of the Qing soldiers, he might also drive the Qing soldiers back.

He saw that the soldiers' boats were small, and wanted to sink the small Qing soldiers' boats with his big ones, but when the tide was low, his big boats couldn't move forward, and the Qing soldiers' small boats came up instead.

At this time, Shuotuo and Zaba were very excited, and they were urging the boatman to move forward.
