Father-in-law Wei wanted to cross the river, and the proclamation announcing the DPRK was written, and the navy, as a descendant of the father-in-law's troops, could not disobey the order, so he immediately mobilized and organized large and small warships and civilian ships to carry out the father-in-law's order to cross the river.

However, the river in the eyes of my father-in-law is actually not the Yalu River, but the Ah Ye Ku River, that is, the Tumen River in my father-in-law's previous life. The river originated in the Ming Dynasty, flowed through Gyeongseong, Korea, and finally moved north into the Far East, where it flowed into the Sea of Japan on the border between Russia and North Korea.

The Kuhe River was originally an inland river of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty set up a number of guards on both sides of the river to appease the Jurchens. Later, the Li Joseon continued to expand its territory to the north by means of killing and driving out the Jurchens, and finally turned the south bank of the Ayeku River into Korean territory, with the jurisdiction of the Jingcheng Metropolitan Protectorate, and six counties (counties) of all sizes, including Huining, Funing, Zhongcheng, Wencheng, Qingyuan, and Qingxing.

Therefore, after Nurhachi's rise, he often instructed Jurchen soldiers to cross the river to attack the Koreans, because in Jianzhou's view, these places were originally their Jurchens.

"North Korea is a small country, the soldiers and horses are less than one-tenth of the Celestial Empire, the standing soldiers and horses in Seoul are only tens of thousands, and most of the places are temporary conscription of young and strong miscellaneous soldiers, this miscellaneous soldiers are not beaten, there is no training, and the enemy will be defeated, not to mention the heavenly soldiers, even the Jurchens can fight them, they flee from the wind......"

On the same day, the North Korean official Kim, who had been arrested and imprisoned in Seoul, finally appeared, and the Koreans under the rule of the Jurchens of Jianzhou had taken out all the fiction and reality of the "mother country" and tried their best to induce the Ming army to invade across the border.

As Kim saw in the Kwandian area, the captured Koreans acted as accomplices in the Ming army's military operations, both large and small. They either led the way for the Ming army, or served as auxiliary coolies, or directly put on armor to serve the Ming army. The killing of the Ming army frightened the Koreans, and in order not to be killed like the Jurchens, the Koreans rushed to work hard for the Ming army...

About 100 Koreans were organized into a squadron to serve as the guide and vanguard of the Ming Imperial Army after crossing the river. Their captain's name is Jin Guonan, and he is the younger brother of Jin Deqing, the former Xiaodian Jianzhou Jiala, Ezhen, and Jin Deqing. The surnames Kim and Han are the two big surnames of the Koreans in Jianzhou, which are equivalent to the surnames Zhang and Li of the Han people.

Under Jin Guonan's flattering explanation, Gonggong Wei generally understood the reality of the Mirror City Protectorate.

Strictly speaking, this so-called Jingcheng Metropolitan Protectorate should be the "Tao" of North Korea, and the area may only be one of the Ming Dynasty's mansions. In such a big place, North Korea set it up in the name of the Metropolitan Protectorate, which really ruined the name of "Metropolitan Protectorate" for no reason.

Think about the capital of my Han Dynasty, which one is not a behemoth that exists in more than thousands of miles and includes several or even more than a dozen countries!

It seems that bragging is a consistent characteristic of North Korea.

The guild smiled.

Judging from the actual situation, the main purpose of Joseon's establishment of the Jingcheng Protectorate is probably to deal with the Jurchens, after all, Jingcheng is located in the northernmost part of the Joseon Dynasty. As far as Korea is concerned, the Jurchen ethnic groups are equivalent to the nomadic people in the north of the Han Dynasty, so there is this so-called capital protectorate.

However, whether you are a Taoist or a protector, the father-in-law is most concerned about how many soldiers there are.

As a result, he was excited.

There was no Korean "central army" at all, and the Korean army in the prefecture and its counties were all local youths who served in turn, that is, the "reserves" equivalent to the existence of the militia. Or it is equivalent to bow fishing and inspection in the Ming Dynasty.

After the "mobilization", the number of troops that the Jingcheng Metropolitan Protectorate can levy should be between 8,000 and 13,000, but the number of people on regular rotation, that is, the normal "work", will not exceed 3,000.

In terms of weapons and equipment, it is also miserable.

Basically, the Korean soldiers in Gyeongseong used cold weapons such as spears, and there were no firearms such as birds.

It's not that North Korea doesn't have firearms troops, they do, and there are a lot of them, and the North Koreans call the firecrackers "good hands", which are the main force of the North Korean army, and they are also the elite, with about 30,000 people. But these "good hands" were under the command of the Shotgun Hall under the Praetorian Guard Battalion, and were mainly stationed in Seoul. There are also some elite good hands in the southern provinces, which are used to guard against Japan.

The Imjin War frightened North Korea, and for more than a decade, its armaments were almost always tilted toward the south. In the north, only Ping'an Province had a small number of "Central Army" stationed.

In fact, it was not until the Battle of Sarhu, after the official rise of the Houjin and the fact that Korea became the great enemy of Korea, that the Korean armament was tilted from the south to the north.

At this time, the Korean troops in Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Metropolitan Protectorate are really pitiful, no wonder the Wei Gong Guild rubbed their hands and was excited.

He is used to pinching soft persimmons.

In addition, the official system of North Korea is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, both of which are civilian rulers of the army, but there is an additional system of separation of soldiers and generals, that is, there is no fixed general, no fixed pawn, and the soldiers are all serving in turns. China's Song Dynasty also practiced a system of separating soldiers and generals, and the consequences do not need to be said.

After figuring out the reality on the other side, Father-in-law Wei was really confident, and he was the first to cross the river by boat.

In addition to the father-in-law's admiral, the maritime eunuch, Lu Bo, and the honor guard, there were also 2,000 officers and soldiers who crossed the river together. It is divided into a horse team of 300 people and a foot team of 1,700 people. There are also more than a dozen Jinyi guards from Yizhou, led by a small banner under Tian Gang, named Qi Ying.

The father-in-law has a lot of honor guards, and there are more than 30 flags alone, but this time, the father-in-law only needs to wear a long flag, that is, "the emperor is ordered to be a pro-army eunuch".

After crossing the river, his father-in-law ordered a proclamation to be sent to the nearest Korean county, Jongnyeong, and at the same time ordered that the imperial officers and soldiers were forbidden to harass the Korean people.

"The people of the court are also the people of my Son of Heaven. Since our imperial army is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, we should strictly enforce military discipline and not disturb the people, so that the people of the court can know the benevolence of our Son of Heaven and the righteousness of our imperial army..."

Under the constraints of the generals, the officers and soldiers of the imperial army strictly obeyed the orders of Duke Wei, marched mightily, and did not catch chickens and dogs along the way, full of heavenly soldiers.

In North Korea, those who can't read Chinese characters will definitely not be able to become officials, and the official uniforms worn by officials are all imitations of the Ming Dynasty. If a foreigner ventures into Korea without knowing the reason, he will only think that he has entered the Ming Dynasty.

Zhongcheng County Shou Park Zhengtai is an official from the fourth grade, and this official from the fourth rank is placed in the Ming Dynasty, if he has the qualifications of science and technology, he can be released as a governor. If it is a Beijing official, he can also go to the court to discuss matters. But in North Korea, this official from the fourth grade is not in the stream.

Because the official system of the Korean Dynasty is also divided into nine grades and eighteen levels, but the officials below the third grade are called the lower officials, and the upper three grades are called the upper officials.

The upper and lower halls of this Zhengsanpintang are the watersheds of North Korean officials, and the lower ones are not in the stream, but the upper ones are in the stream. And below the seventh grade, it is not even counted, and can only be called a subordinate official, and the status is very low. In the Ming Dynasty, the seven products could be county orders, but North Korea could only do county orders from the five products, and the seven products could be a county professor at most, which was equivalent to the existence of officials.

The first to receive a report from the villagers that a great soldier had entered the country was Yoo Hyun-chung, the commander of Nanyang County under Park Jung-tae. Yoo Hyun-chung was the grandnephew of the late Korean Minister Yoo Sung-ryong, who worked as a clerk in Yi Sunsin's navy, and was later appointed as the commander of Nanyang County with the help of his family.

After receiving the report that the Ming army had entered the country, Liu Xianzhong felt that something was wrong, how could the Celestial Empire send troops into the court for no reason, which was inconsistent with etiquette, so he refused to send people to welcome him, and ordered the city gate to be closed, recruited villagers to defend the city, and sent people to investigate, and quickly went to the county to report the news, asking the county guard to immediately send county soldiers to resist, so as to avoid the fall of Nanyang.

Park Zhengtai, the guard of Zhongcheng County, was furious, and reprimanded Liu Xianzhong left and right: "Nanyang is messing around! Chinese, parents, North Korea and Japan are both sons, but my country's filial sons are also Japanese thieves! Now that the parents have arrived, how can the filial son be closed and not welcome! ”
