On a certain day in April of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen Xin Si of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor sent an official to give a sacrifice to Yang Sichang, the former superintendent and auxiliary minister, and told the text: Woohoo! However, when Qing Zhi is earnest, he has the heart to serve the country; Don't go into the secret, out of the armor soldiers. Fang period to play Kai returned to the court, Tulin Mingding. The material is grateful, and the ambition is deep. The failure of the work is commendable, and the death of the people is pitiful. The edict was promulgated, and the special pei Yi chapter was issued. The heroic soul knows, and he is still convinced!

After the end of the Henan Campaign, Song Youliang returned to Dengzhou, and it was already April. Song Youliang looked at Chongzhen's sacrificial text to Yang Sichang, and his heart was not Gujing Wubo, in terms of talent, Yang Sichang is indeed a talent, but sometimes he is too eager to repay him. Therefore, after Yang Sichang's death, the long-suppressed dissatisfaction of the courtiers suddenly broke out, accusing Yang Sichang of piling up in front of Chongzhen

However, at this moment, Song Youliang was not interested and couldn't care about falling into the well. for the net he cast must now be withdrawn. Otherwise, this big fish will have to tear through the fishing net and slip away.

It is said that Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, and Qiu Minyang, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, convened the headquarters of the eight towns, with a total of 130,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry, to raise a year's worth of military rations and march from Ningyuan to support Jinzhou. Zu Dashou, a Ming general stationed in Jinzhou, sent people out of the city to inform Hong Chengchou that the Qing army was too strong to fight rashly. Hong Chengchou also wants to take a step-by-step strategy, and Xu Tu is enterprising. Who knows that Zhang Ruolin, the supervisor sent by the Ming court, did not know the soldiers, but also spoke loudly, secretly sent an envoy to Beijing, and asked Emperor Chongzhen to order Hong Chengchou to quickly fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, Hong Chengchou had no choice, so he had to lead 60,000 steps to ride forward, stationed in Songshan, the Qing army came to attack, and retreated, it was the prelude to the Songshan War before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the Ming army won a small victory first.

Huang Taiji believed that this war was related to the rise and fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he mobilized all the men over the age of thirteen and under the age of sixty in the Eight Banners to levy the "Empty Country Past". Of course, the 20,000 taels of white flag soldiers and horses led by Duoduo into Korea were naturally being gathered. It's just that, under the lure of the Korean rebels and the guidance of the North Korean officers and soldiers, the two white flag soldiers and horses led by Duoduo "passed the pass and cut the generals" all the way to the rebels' nest - Ulsan City at the southern tip of North Korea.

Ulsan was built by Kato Kiyomasa, a famous Japanese general who invaded Korea, and the city was originally surrounded by mountains and rivers, extremely strong, and the terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. He was still insufficient, so he built a fortress about two miles away from Ulsan, on a hill about 50 meters high on the side of the Taehwa River, called Dosan Fortress. The city is centered on the inner city where the generals of the city lived, the inner city is 15 meters high, the circumference is more than two miles, and the city walls are all made of large stone strips. An earthen wall was also built at the outermost part of the city to protect the fortifications beyond the stone wall. This was not enough, behind the stone wall, more than ten arrow towers were erected. Later, the famous Battle of Ulsan took place here

After Hong Jitong, Jang Gil-san, and Lim Ju-jeong led more than 20,000 Korean anti-Qing rebels to Ulsan, they repaired the damaged Ulsan Fortress and Dosan Fortress to a certain extent. The three of them united as one, and waited for Duoduo to come.

The Qing army, under the leadership of Duoduo, set up a battle on Guheseong Mountain on the north side of Ulsan Fortress. Under the blue sky of early spring, the Qing army set fire to Ulsan Castle and Daosan Castle in many places, wantonly slaughtered the surrounding North Korean civilians who had no time to escape, and frequently shelled and provoked, but Hong Giltong ordered a resolute ban on soldiers to go out of the city to counterattack.

Hong Jitong said to everyone: "The number of Hu dogs is several times that of us, and the guns are well prepared. If you barely break through, I am afraid that you will be besieged from all sides and wiped out. Everyone must hold back, hide the current grief in their hearts, and when the time comes, I will rush to the front. ”

Seeing that the rebels were unmoved, Duoduo ordered the camp to line up and attack the two cities with arrows and artillery for several days to provoke them, but the rebels only fiercely fought back when the Qing cavalry and infantry approached the city walls. So, Dordor ordered the vanguard to open fire and attack the city gates. But as soon as the oncoming rebels rushed out of the city gate with their swords and guns, the attacking Qing army would immediately show weakness and retreat. In fact, this is a strategy to lure the rebels out of the city, and then use the ambushed troops to cut off their rear roads and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Hong Jitong saw through Duoduo's thoughts, so as soon as the Qing army left the range of their weapons, the rebels immediately stopped the pursuit and returned to the city.

In this way, the time dragged on until April, and Huang Taiji's messenger came to Duoduo's army and demanded that Duoduo immediately lead the army back to China to participate in the decisive battle related to the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty.

Duoduo had no choice but to give up the siege of Ulsan and lead his army back north. The goal was to hoard two white flags, heavy grain and grass, and a warehouse looted along the way - Seoul.

Song Youliang received information from the North Korean side for the first time, so Song Youliang made a very bold and crazy move in the eyes of everyone - to land on Inchon and capture Seoul as quickly as possible.

"Song Junmen~~ This method is too desperate to take risks~" Yuan Shu, the superintendent, was the first to express doubts about this plan

When making this decision, many people thought that Song Youliang was overly arrogant because of his consecutive victories. Only Song Youliang clearly understood that he was not crazy. The Inchon landing was imperative, and only such a risky tactic could conceal the Tartars' spies and deal the heaviest blow to the Tartars in the shortest possible time.

In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, it was beyond their imagination to take the Tartar army out and attack its rear. However, Song Youliang is different, he is a time-traveler a hundred years later, and he has more knowledge than everyone else. This time, Song Youliang copied MacArthur's adventure. Not only is Incheon "surrounded by small island barriers and large tidal ranges," but Incheon is also located in the narrowest "bee waist" of the entire Korean Peninsula in the east-west direction. At that time, MacArthur was scolded as a madman by countless military strategists when he proposed the Inchon landing, and after the successful landing, he was hailed as a genius.

In fact, from the day he began to admit anti-Qing righteous people in North Korea, Song Youliang was already planning this shocking plan that would eventually go down in history. The reason why he wanted to subdue the pirate Gu San Mazi was to ensure that his naval army could send the army safely to the land of Korea

On April 8, the 14th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the Dengzhou Navy and more than 300 large and small ships mobilized by the major chambers of commerce, loaded with 30,000 Dengzhou troops, began to sail out to sea and embarked on the road of conquest of Korea. The Dengzhou Navy first swept around the Liaodong Peninsula to ensure that there were no Tartar sailors.

On April 11, the lookout on the watchtower had already seen the land, "It's the land~~The land~" the lookout shouted loudly

"Amani~~~ I'm back!" Choi Hao-il, the battalion officer of the North Korean troops in the Dengzhou Army, was already crying with excitement, and the rest of the North Korean soldiers were also excited or painful, and Che Liliang, who was pulling thousands of pounds, was also crying like a tearful person

When the huge Ming fleet reached the sea near Wolmi Island in Incheon, Choi Hao-il and Che Liliang led 3,000 Korean soldiers as the vanguard of the landing, and they slowly approached Wolmi Island in small boats. At the same time, a signal was sent to the shore with a lamp with a metal cover in the hand.

Soon, a bright spot was rowing in a circle on the dark shore, "There is a signal~" Cui Haoyi was extremely excited, "Hurry up and row the boat~"

"Okay~" Che Liliang took an oar in each of his left and right hands, paddled hard, and in the blink of an eye, Cui Haoyi's boat docked

Cui Hao jumped ashore one by one, only to see a monk wearing a monk's robe, and he was also looking at himself excitedly, "The donor is Cui Haoyi?" ”

"Who is the master?" Cui Haoyi asked

"The poor monk is a disciple of Master Dubu - Mingcheng." The monk replied

"Master Mingcheng, where is Master Dubu?" Cui Haoyi asked

"The family teacher is already in Seoul, with the righteous soldiers, as long as the Celestial Empire army attacks the city, he will immediately take down the city gate and welcome the army!" Monk Mingcheng said

Let's say that the soldiers and horses led by Duoduo with two white flags are slowly retreating north, and are advancing along the official road towards Seoul. Duoduo was riding on a tall horse, listening to a Han man Baoyi report to him about the recent "seizure".

"Eight hundred catties of ginseng, thirty-four thousand taels of silver~~Four thousand sturdy adult men~~" The Han man kept looking through the account books and said: "If you add the ones that the master has hoarded in Seoul, then we will come to North Korea this time, at least 100,000 taels of silver and 1,400 catties of ginseng." ”

The clothed servant spoke Chinese, and the commander of the Korean army on the side, Liu Minghe, could understand it completely, but this traitor not only felt that Duoduo's slight response to North Korea was a naked invasion, but praised Duoduo's outstanding martial arts

The North Korean generals on the side were all pale, and they dared not speak out

On this day, 20,000 Qing troops from Duoduo and 10,000 Korean troops led by Yoo Myungha, a henchman of Kim Zidian, the leader of the Luo faction of the Korean pro-Qing faction, arrived in the area of Guseong in the lower reaches of the Seomjin River.

The Chanjin River originates from the Bagong Mountain on the boundary line between Zhen'an County and Changshui County, gathers the southern water system of the Zhen'an Plateau, flows through the mountainous areas such as Renshi and Chunchang, arrives at Gucheng, converges with the Baocheng River, crosses the southern end of the Xiaobai Mountain Range and flows radially to the south, and merges with the Longdao Pond Water and the Zhiyi Mountain Water Flow in Qiuli County, and flows into the Xianli Waterway of Luliang Qianhai in Hedong County, with a total length of 212 kilometers, which is a mountain gorge river with turbulent water flow. After the river water enters the Huakaimian of Hedong County, it converges with the Huakaichuan River and flows to the southern foot of Baiyun Mountain in Gwangyang and Jirit Mountain in Hedong County, the river area gradually widens, the water potential gradually slows down, and the water is green.

The army was stationed on the side of the Toadjin River, and Liu Minghe began to think about how to curry favor with Duoduo
