Chapter 1091 What to do?
As soon as he yelled, Dorgon immediately came back to his senses.As expected of a famous figure in the late Ming Dynasty, he immediately returned to normal, but his face was still serious, and he immediately began to give orders.

At this time, he had already ignored the food on the field, and immediately began to dispatch troops. While sending people to inquire about the situation of the defenders who had fled back from Incheon, he also sent a large number of scouts to Incheon to investigate the whereabouts of the Ming army. trend.

The people in the hall, whether they were the leaders of the Qing Dynasty or the officials of the North Korea, didn't bother to persuade Dorgon to become emperor.Those who received the order took action immediately, and those who did not receive the order bid farewell in a hurry.

All of a sudden, because of the news that the Ming army had landed in Incheon, the entire city of Seoul suddenly became noisy. Groups of soldiers came and went on the streets, the sound of weapons and armor colliding, and the sound of hurried footsteps, etc. , compiled into a tense piece of music.

Among them, the whole Qing Dynasty was busy, and all their minds were only concerned with how to fight against the coming Ming army.But on the side of North Korean officials, they have more thoughts.

King Gwanghae-jun of Joseon returned to his main hall, and as soon as he entered the hall, he sat down on the ground without thinking about his image, and then stared blankly at the ground, motionless.

His concubine saw it and hurried over to ask about the situation.The appearance of Mr. Guanghai frightened her a little: "Your Highness, Your Highness, but that man is being rude to His Highness again?"

The person she mentioned refers to Duo Duo, but she dared not say so, so she had to use him instead.

It's no wonder she guessed this way, Duoduo had insulted them many times before, and she was really afraid of people like lunatics.

After she asked, Mr. Guanghai suddenly hugged her and began to cry.

Seeing this, his concubine couldn't help being frightened, and quickly patted him, trying to comfort him, and at the same time said: "I still have some money on my side, why don't you ask someone to pass a message to His Highness..."

The Highness she mentioned did not refer to Lord Guanghai, but Dorgon.Relatively speaking, Dorgon is more sensible, although they can still feel that in Dorgon's eyes, they are actually a fart, but at least Dorgon can still maintain superficial respect for them.

In the past, when encountering Duduo's insults, they often did the same.However, this time, Mr. Guanghai was still crying, crying so much that she was a little puzzled.

Just when she wondered if Dorgon had insulted Mr. Guanghai this time, she saw Mr. Guanghai slowly push her away, with tears and snot on his old face, and said in despair: "It's over... It's all over, they will definitely not let Gu's go... definitely won't let go..."

His concubine felt something was wrong, and couldn't help but wondered: "Your Highness, who will not let you go?"

Seeing Mr. Guanghai's pitiful appearance, she was really puzzled, who is it that scares Mr. Guanghai into such a state?Even when he was insulted by Duoduo in every possible way before, he never saw Mr. Guanghai frightened like this!
"Emperor Ming won't let Gu's go! Yes, he definitely won't let him go!" Mr. Guanghai replied nervously, "The Ming army is coming, and they can reach Seoul tomorrow. It's over, it's over... "

Hearing this, his concubine froze for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Mr. Guanghai knew that Duoduo was insulting him at most and would not kill him.But with what Guang Haijun did, if it fell into the hands of the Ming army, his life would indeed be lost.Mr. Guanghai, who only thinks about living now, is the most afraid of death, no wonder he is so frightened!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart: If I knew today, why bother!Daming is the kingdom of heaven, far better than the barbarians in Liaodong. Although they have regained the throne, how much time can they spend happily in the days when Man Qing is the master?

One thing, she actually misunderstood Mr. Guanghai.If Mr. Guanghai knew in advance that there would be such an ending, then he would definitely not have stepped on two boats back then, and finally completely took refuge in Manqing.At that time, seeing the disastrous defeat of the Ming army Sarhu and the retreat of the Liaodong Ming army step by step, he already thought that the Manchu Qing was invincible.But who would have thought that in the 30th year of Hedong and the 30th year of Hexi, now the Qing Dynasty is dead, and the king of the Ming army landed in Incheon, and they could attack Seoul in the blink of an eye!

Just like Mr. Guanghai, many of his nominal courtiers regretted it in fear.At this time, no one of them would think that the Ming army that wiped out the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong would be defeated by Dorgon.These North Korean puppet officials are all worried about their upcoming fate.

At this time, there were not many people who were still thinking about hugging Dorgon's thigh tightly.Each of them has their own plans, trying to save their own lives and their own glory and wealth!All kinds of ways to deal with the immediate crisis, regardless of morality, have been thought up one by one and put into practice.

However, what happened next made it a bit unclear for everyone.Even Dorgon was a little puzzled.

After further confirming that the Ming army that landed in Incheon was the new Ming army, and the number was at least tens of thousands, Dorgon was really frightened.He didn't think he could stop the new Ming army with his current strength.Because he knew that the strength of the new army was also reflected in its firearms and artillery.Although there are cannons on the top of the city of Seoul, they are far inferior to the Hongyi cannons in terms of power and range.With the city guarded and no reinforcements outside, it will be a matter of time before Seoul is breached.

Therefore, Dorgon immediately started preparing to move eastward.At least the people and troops of the Qing Dynasty will move eastward.Luckily, I also left behind and prepared the boat. If something goes wrong, I will board the boat and flee to the country of Wa.

Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, if Hauge hadn't suddenly changed his mind and returned some of the seagoing ships, he really wouldn't have been able to retreat to Wa this time.

However, now that something happened suddenly, if he hastily withdraws to the Wa country, the troops scattered everywhere will not be able to gather, and his own strength will also be greatly reduced!If you go to Wa country like this, you will probably be suppressed by Hauge!

Thinking of this, Dorgon also had a headache.If they can defeat the Ming army, everything will be fine.But now since they can't beat the Ming army, they have no choice but to withdraw.

But Incheon is only a short distance away from Seoul, and the Ming army could reach Seoul in the blink of an eye. If they want to withdraw, they must do so as soon as possible.In this way, although he could escape his life, but...

Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help sighing again. In desperation, he had only one choice, and that was to withdraw before the Ming army besieged the city!

While urgently preparing to withdraw, with a little hope, he paid attention to the movements of the Ming army in Incheon.

In Incheon, after the Ming army landed, they began to build camps. They made a defensive posture and did not start attacking immediately.This situation, followed by the report of the Manchu inspection horse to Dorgon's place, made him feel incredible.

As the saying goes, speed is the most important thing in soldiers. If you are a general of the Ming Dynasty, you will definitely attack Seoul immediately before your opponents have time to gather troops.Dorgon thought to himself, he even suspected that Tan Ma was deceived by the false appearance of the Ming army, so he sent Tan Ma to continue to investigate.

As a result, the military situation reported back was always the same. The first thing the Ming army did after they landed was not to attack immediately, but to build camps, which seemed to be a defensive posture.

"Looking at it from the past, although Cao Bianjiao, the commander-in-chief of the new army of the Ming Dynasty, is young, he is not a stupid person, and he should be passionate!" Dorgon couldn't figure it out, and the man said eagerly, "Is there something in it? conspiracy?"

But if there is any conspiracy, Dorgon can't figure it out, it would be better not to take down Seoul directly?

"Brother, don't mind him. Since we don't want to attack immediately, let's take this opportunity to gather troops and horses to defend first, and at the same time let people collect the food quickly!" Duoduo didn't think so much. Like Dorgon, he doubted this and that.

When he said this, he immediately reminded Dorgon, yes, it doesn't matter what conspiracy the Ming army is up to, the first thing to do is to gather troops and collect food.Thinking of this, he immediately began to send orders to implement.But he didn't figure out what the hell the Ming army was doing, and he was always a little bit pissed.

Seeing Dorgon like this, Azige put forward his own idea: "Could it be that the Ming army regarded Incheon as an Anshan Post Fort, assembled for a long time, and suddenly attacked us after we were paralyzed? Liaoyang was lost so quickly , because they didn’t know that the Ming army would suddenly attack!”

This conjecture seems reasonable.But Dorgon thought about it carefully, but shook his head again.Incheon and Anshan Post Fort are fundamentally different, and the most important thing is that the situation in Liaoyang and Seoul is fundamentally different, so there is no need to follow suit at all.The best way to deal with Seoul is actually to attack Seoul as soon as it lands.

Not long after they speculated about the Ming army's motives, some scouts finally reported the possible reasons.It shows that the army should have been sitting on sea ships for too long, and all the men and horses were sick, so they had to adopt a defense system first.

Upon hearing this, Dorgon was overjoyed.It would be great if that were the case.For this reason, he immediately sent a North Korean general who was familiar with maritime affairs. After some inquiries, the answer he got was that it was possible.

In this way, he felt relieved a lot.Although he still dare not take the initiative to attack Incheon, he has no scruples about doing other things.For example, sending orders to assemble the army, such as immediately grabbing food.

However, he did not expect that Wu Daji, who was in charge of grain harvesting, would immediately report the news about Seoul through the chat group.

In Incheon, after hearing the news, Cao Bianjiao, the commander of the new army, couldn't help saying to Feng Dehua: "This Dorgon is really making progress, just let him have a chance to gather troops, and he even dares to grab food!"

Feng Dehua listened, nodded and said with a smile: "We actually expected this situation, let's send troops!"

The new army that landed in Incheon was indeed like what Manqing Tanma saw. Many soldiers and war horses felt unwell due to long-term sea boats.After all, although the new army had been on a sea-going ship before, they had a leisurely time, so they could rest and recuperate on the islands along the way.But this time, I took a boat from the side of the Yalu River, and there was almost no chance to rest at the shore. I was in a hurry and traveled day and night until I landed in Incheon.

But the actual situation is not as bad as Dorgon imagined. If it is not to achieve the strategic goal, it is to drive as many North Koreans as possible to Japan, and the new army can rely on strong soldiers to attack Seoul. .With the elite of the new army, at least half of them can still fight.Under strict military discipline, it is possible to have half more people.

But the new army did not do this in the end, but exaggerated the impact of long-distance shipping, or adopted conservative measures in order to ensure the victory of the war: first defend and rest before attacking.

This point made the historians of later generations quite critical. They believed that no one is perfect, and even Cao Bianjiao, a well-known generation of famous generals, would sometimes fight stupid battles.As everyone knows, Cao Bianjiao is actually complaining: "It's all because the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are too weak. If the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Japan can compete with the Tokugawa Shogunate, we don't have to work so hard to do these Korean things!"

Even if the soldiers of the Manchu and Qing were really able to fight, there were tens of thousands of people in the Wa country, and it was impossible to conquer the Wa country with this.The country of Wa is not small, and there can be hundreds of thousands of troops in a single battle. In terms of national military strength, it is not a problem to gather millions of troops.Moreover, this is the beginning of the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Although the force is not as strong as it was at the beginning, the foundation is still there.

If it weren't for the rebellion of Toyotomi Kunimatsu and the Catholics in the Wa country, the Tokugawa shogunate would have killed them with the thousands of Manchu troops in the country.It is also because of this estimate that Emperor Chongzhen took great pains to drive as many of the remnants of the Manchus in North Korea to the Wa Kingdom as possible, so that the strengths of the various forces in the Wa Kingdom can be balanced.

Of course, only a limited number of people know about this strategy of repelling wolves and tigers, such as Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua in the new army.Therefore, many officers and soldiers of the new army were puzzled about adopting a defensive posture after landing, but they had no choice but to hold back after they all asked for a battle at the beginning and were rejected.

However, when the general order was passed down and Ye Bushuo could be dispatched on a large scale, Ye Bushuo of the new army immediately swarmed out of Incheon, relying on the advantages of morale, military discipline, equipment and physical fitness, and immediately drove Jianlu Tanma back. left Seoul.The figures of the Ming army who did not accept them at night began to appear around Seoul.

This time, Dorgon had only one choice, to fight scouts, he couldn't fight.If you want to drive away the Ming army without harvesting at night and complete the goal of harvesting grain, you must dispatch the army.However, in this way, it will definitely affect the grain harvest.On the contrary, the troops assembled everywhere will not be affected.After all, the assembled army is marching on the road, and they are not afraid of being harassed at night.

In addition, he also noticed that the arrival of the Ming army had a great impact on the Koreans.Above the court, many North Korean officials excused their illnesses; in private, they communicated with each other in full swing; North Korean soldiers began to be passive and negligent. At the beginning, the North Koreans who were sent out to harvest food were all in ink...

Dorgon didn't close his eyes for two consecutive days. After comprehensively considering the current situation, he suddenly gritted his teeth and made a decision.

　Thank you Feng Zingying for your reward!
