Chapter 597: Capture the entire territory of Korea

As soon as Tokugawa Iegao died, the Japanese who had been forced to charge by Tokugawa Iegao immediately retreated backwards.

"Attack forward!"

Huang Degong ordered the Ming army to attack again, further compressing the living space of the remaining Japanese pirates.

Finally, the Japanese Kou, who had completely lost their will to fight, began to throw away their weapons on a large scale and surrender to the Ming army.

More than 90,000 Japanese invaders, more than 30,000 people were killed and injured and lost their combat effectiveness, and after the Ming army entered the city from the four city gates, more than 10,000 Japanese were killed, and finally more than 46,000 Japanese surrendered to the Ming army.

Through the identification of the surrendered Japanese invaders, the Ming soldiers found the body of Tokugawa Iegang.

"This is the corpse of the leader of the Wokos?" Shang Kexi kicked the body of Tokugawa Jiagang and spat it out fiercely, and they chased them all the way from Seoul, and the two county towns were captured and slaughtered by the Japanese pirates, and now nearly 100,000 Korean people in Busan City have almost been killed.

Although the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese are both outsiders and have the purpose of destroying North Korea, the Ming Dynasty is at most trying to conspire with the young and strong vitality of North Korea, and is committed to losing the resistance of North Korea so that the Ming can take over the rule, but the Japanese are different, their natural ferocity makes them uncontrollable once they expose their true nature, and they can do anything about adultery and plunder, slaughtering cities and destroying towns.

Many celebrities in later generations have analyzed that the character of the Japanese is very perverted. The Wako are a bloody, perverted and murderous people. Stubborn, willful, self-serving, ignorant, subservient to superiors, fierce and cruel to subordinates, in short, the nature of the Japanese is perverted and murderous!

After counting, there are less than 1,000 surviving Korean people in the city of Busan, most of them escaped by hiding under the city wall by avoiding the Japanese invaders, and the Ming soldiers who occupied the city wall only prevented the Japanese from approaching the city wall, but did not stop the innocent Korean people, and these surviving Korean people also had their use, which proved that Busan was slaughtered by the Japanese invaders.

Although Daming is not afraid of being misunderstood by the North Koreans, there is no need to carry the black pot without it, especially to help the Japanese criminals carry it.

For the sake of safety, Huang Degong decided to lead the army back to Seoul first, not only to escort nearly 50,000 Japanese prisoners, but also to replenish some ammunition by the way, and to command the army to divide troops from Seoul to capture other Korean cities that were still in the hands of the Koreans.

On August 9, the seventh year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, Huang Degong and other 30,000 Ming troops returned to Seoul with nearly 50,000 Japanese prisoners.

Although the king of Korea has already surrendered, less than half of the cities in Korea have really been captured by the Ming army, and a large number of cities are still in the hands of the Koreans, who may not be able to resist, but after all, they will open the city gate and surrender until the Ming army arrives there.

On 10 August, Huang Degong ordered the 80,000-strong Ming troops in Seoul to divide into nine routes and begin to sweep through Korea.

On August 12, the Ming army captured the capital city of Hamgyong Province in North Korea, and other cities in Hamgyong Province surrendered when they heard the news.

The Ming army attacked very smoothly, and on August 14, the entire Hamgyong Province was captured, and on the same day, the Ming army led by Yan Yingyuan of the Fourth Army captured Gangneung Province in Gangwon Province, and the next day Gangwon Province was completely controlled by the Ming army.

Of course, it is not that there are no Korean cities that choose to resist to the end, after all, it is a war to destroy the country, and there will always be some Koreans who are unwilling to be destroyed.

No, one of the Ming troops led by Feng Houdun encountered fierce resistance in Cheongju Province in Chungcheong Province, North Korea, and the Koreans in Cheongju refused to open the city gate and surrendered, insisting on resisting to the end.

"Hehe, after conquering so many Korean cities, there is finally one who is ready to resist to the end!" Feng Houdun not only did not get angry, but smiled hehe, and his spirits were lifted a lot.

In the city of Cheongju Mansion, a North Korean official gathered nearly 10,000 North Koreans to defend the city and swore to defend Cheongju Mansion to the death.

However, most of the young people in Korea were wiped out by the Ming army on the front line of Seoul, and the real guard force composed of young and strong people in the city of Cheongju was less than 3,000 people, and the rest were some old and decrepit, barely composed of nearly 10,000 people, but in fact there was not much combat effectiveness at all.

Although the Ming army outside the city, such as Feng Houdun, was only five or six thousand, it was not something that the Koreans in the Qingzhou capital could resist.

"Fire!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The Ming soldiers shot at the city wall, killing and wounding a large number of Koreans on the city wall at once, so that the North Koreans did not dare to show their heads at all.

Qingzhou Mansion did not have a sharp weapon such as a moat, and the Ming army could calmly send people to blow up the city gate.

"Rush!"

A group of more than a dozen Ming soldiers rushed towards the gate of Qingzhou Mansion with ** bags in their arms.

Soon, I saw a loud bang at the city gate, and the city gate was blown away with all the stones blocking the city gate, and the gate of Qingzhou Mansion was opened.

"Attack!"

Ming soldiers rushed into the city through the blasted gates.

In the face of the powerful Ming army like a wolf and a tiger, the Korean resistance in the city of Qingzhou was weak, and in an instant it was beaten to the point of crying father and shouting that the mother was defeated and retreated, and the Ming army was killed in the center of the city.

"It's a backbone, but unfortunately, resistance has no effect!" Feng Houdun looked at the dead North Korean official of Cheongju Mansion and gave him a rare praise, but in the end he was full of disdain.

As a result, there was no suspense, Feng Houdun and other Ming troops quickly took control of the Qingzhou capital city, leaving only a few people to stay in the Qingzhou capital city, and Feng Houdun took the remaining Ming soldiers to continue to attack south.

The rapid fall of Cheongju Province told the other Koreans that resistance would have no effect, and as soon as the army arrived, more and more Korean cities surrendered directly to Kaesong, and in less than two days, Chungcheong-do was also completely controlled by the Ming army, and then, only Jeolla Province and Sanggyeong-do remained in the southernmost part of Korea.

Sanggyeong-do ruled over a large area such as Busan Castle, which had been plundered by the Japanese invaders.

Because of the ravages of the Japanese invaders, Shang Qingdao surrendered quickly, and all of them fell in just one day.

As soon as Sanggyeong-do fell, only the last Jeolla Province remained in Korea. Although the Korean officials guarding Jeolla Province also had the intention of resisting to the end, the fate of Cheongju Province was vivid, and in the end, in order to prevent more deaths and injuries among the Korean people, the Korean officials in Jeolla Province chose Kaesong to surrender.

So far, in less than half a month, the Ming army has captured all of Korea with almost no losses, completely controlling the whole of Korea in its hands.

The Korean state was officially declared extinct, and the territory was incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

After the king of Joseon was pressed to the city of Nanjing, Zhu Ci gave him a marquis as promised, so that he could spend the rest of his life in Nanjing without worrying about food and clothing.
