Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 949
Wang Yan is still unaware of the Zhejiang matter, and the attention of the Ming Dynasty has already been attracted by the North Korean side.

North Korea was a nail that the Ming army put behind the Qing army. It had great value and the Ming Dynasty would not give up easily.

If the Qing army attacks North Korea again, this will not only affect the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, but also make the Qing army no longer have to worry about the future. In this way, the Qing army can deal with the Ming army with all its strength, and the pressure of the Ming army in Huainan will inevitably increase greatly, thus forming a chain reaction. Influence the Ming army to fight in the southwest.

Last year's New Year, it can be said that except for the Ming Dynasty, the other three parties were not idle. Southwest Sun Kewang and Hauge were fighting for a rivalry.

North Korea and the Manchu Qing bordered Changbai Mountain and the Yalu River. The mountains in the northeast section of Hamgyong Road were undulating and difficult to walk. The terrain of Ping'an Road in the southeast was relatively flat. In addition, the Yalu River was frozen, so the city was the main direction for the Qing army to attack.

Last year, the Ming army in North Korea caused great damage to the Manchus. They ravaged the coast, and the Qing army went ashore as soon as they left. Xie Qian had some contacts in Shandong, and many gentry clans secretly colluded with Xie Qian in order not to be robbed by the Japanese pirates who were accompanied by the Ming army, passing on information for them and guiding them to the road.

The land currently occupied by the Qing Dynasty is Huaibei, Shandong, Beizhi, Henan, Shanxi and Guanwai, but the Ming army in North Korea can threaten Shandong, Beizhi and Guanwai, and almost threaten the safety of half of his land. Dorgon must resolve North Korea.

This time, Daishan led 5 people to attack North Korea. If he could not capture it, Dorgon could only order to move to the sea, and move all the population of fifty miles along the coast to the inland, so as to prevent the Ming army from harassing.

The [-] Qing army came to attack, and North Korea was shaken. However, because the [-] Ming army was stationed in North Korea, the North Korean monarchs and officials were not panicked. Instead, they wanted to perform well in front of their parents' country.

The Qing army attacked before the Yalu River thawed, so the Qing army cavalry easily broke through the North Korean defense line. Anping Road fell in a few days, and most of the Yellow Sea Road was lost. The Qing army did not encounter anything decent along the way. Resistance, North Korea is pure embarrassment again.

Due to the loss of the important town of Pyongyang, the [-] coalition forces could only stop the Qing army from continuing southward near Kaesong, north of Gyeonggi-do, North Korea.

The terrain of North Korea is high in the east and low in the west, with rolling mountains in the east and flatter terrain in the west. There is a long and narrow plain along the coastline. This plain is wide and narrow, and it is narrow near Kaesong. The coalition forces Blocking here can prevent the Qing army from continuing to attack Seoul southward.

At this time, on a hill not far from the coalition army camp, several Qing army scouts were in the forest, watching the stretching camp tents in the distance, and saw the word "Thank you" fluttering in the wind on a large banner in the camp, and Around the big flag, there are still many bright flags of the sun and the moon. The camp is crowded with people, with sharp blades and spears, and the armor of the soldiers is bright, but to the east of this big camp, there is another big camp, which is much weaker. North Korean camp.

Almost everything in North Korea is copied from China and is deeply influenced by China. The military equipment is also similar to that of the Ming army. The difference is that the Ming army only has a feather or a small flag on the helmet, while the North Korean army has a The small trident, and the North Korean army has very few armored soldiers, even a lot of paper armor, and the equipment is scarce, so it is easy to distinguish.

The scouts of the Qing army on the hill watched for a while, then immediately turned their horses and ran down the hill, and then headed north back to Baichuan County, where the Qing army had just captured not long ago.

The cavalry galloped back to Baichuan, and the city was filled with the smell of blood, apparently being slaughtered.

The Qing army was angry at North Korea's betrayal, and blamed North Korea for the defeat of Yangzhou. Therefore, this time Daishan entered North Korea without mercy.

At this time, Daishan was discussing with the Qing general about attacking Seoul. He looked at the crowd and said coldly: "Winter is coming to an end, we must take down Seoul as soon as possible and capture the Joseon King alive, otherwise once the sea surface of Jianghua Island thaws, the The servants will inevitably retreat to the island again, and our 5 horses cannot stay in North Korea for long, and if we want to kill them all, we can only wait another year."

In the past, North Korea and the Manchus fought against each other, and they couldn’t beat them every time, so they liked to run to the island. However, North Korea was poor and could support only a limited number of people. The Qing army could not get much supplies in North Korea. Withdrew, and the treasury of the Qing Dynasty was empty, so Daishan had no time to spend in North Korea, and it had to be resolved in World War I.

The generals in the room nodded when they heard this, deeply convinced and full of confidence. They hadn't encountered such a soft dish for a long time. In less than ten days, they rushed from the Yalu River to Gyeonggi-do, North Korea, and approached Seoul. Same with hunting outings.

At this time, the room was discussing, and the soldiers outside told the scouts to come back. Dai Shan hurriedly let them in, and then marked the location of the coalition forces on the map according to their reports.

The county king Nikan next to them saw that the Ming army was fifty miles south of them, with mountains in the east and the sea and Jianghua Island in the west, blocking their main route to enter Seoul, so he pointed to the map and asked the scouts: "How many troops are there?" Stationed here, how is the equipment?"

The generals of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are now out of favor, and urgently need to train younger generations to share the worries of the older generation. Therefore, this time when he resisted Mongolia and conquered North Korea, Daishan brought the younger generation with him so that they can gain experience and become talents quickly.

The scout hurriedly saluted and said: "Reporting to the prince, the enemy's tents are spreading. There are about 6 to 3 people, divided into two large camps. Among them, [-] Ming troops are well-equipped and the camps are clean. They are definitely elite soldiers. They live on the plains." Guarding the main road, the other [-] people are the North Korean army, which is similar to the North Korean army we have encountered these days, but they are camped on the hillside and have the advantage of the terrain, but they are not easy to deal with."

Dai Shan frowned slightly when he heard this. The Ming army's arrangement was to use the [-] Ming army as the main force to block the Qing army. If he wanted to attack Seoul, he had to break through the [-] Ming army formation. It was really difficult to deal with. For a while, Daishan fell silent.

The Qing army had just repelled Mongolia, and in less than ten days, they entered North Korea again. The younger generation of Nikan and others were eager to try.

At this time, Nikan said: "My lord, I think it is very simple to break through the enemy's obstruction. I just hit the Korean army and broke through them. The Korean army is just a group of farmers. They didn't fight at all. As long as the Ming army is contained, King Li gives me 5000 men, and this king can crush [-] Koreans."

King Wakda of Xiangjun on the side also said: "Ama, Xie Qian was born as a bandit, and he can steal chickens and dogs. How can he compete with Ama in a head-to-head confrontation. As Ama said, if the delay continues, once the sea water thaws, the King of Korea will inevitably come back again." If we run to the island, all our previous efforts will be wasted. Ama must make up his mind!"

Daishan is very pleased that the younger generation has such morale, and what Nikan and Wakda said is right, he doesn't need to be afraid of a famous general who came from a bandit and a vulnerable North Korean.

"Pass down the king's military order, the army will attack, break through the obstacles, and go straight to Seoul!" Dai Shan slapped the map with his palm and gave the order to attack.
