Chapter 193: Blossoming on All Sides

The defender of Pyongyang adopted the strategy of shrinking his forces and holding the city on the Goryeo Peninsula, concentrating one-third of the elite of about 100,000 people in the city of Pyongyang, and also subordinated about 200,000 Goryeo Shunyi troops around Pyongyang City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Later Jin's power on the Goryeo Peninsula was like a thorny hedgehog, although the Beida Battalion was constantly replenishing troops from the Dagu Pass of Daming Tianjin, but it could not help them for a while.

Fortunately, however, the primary operational goal of the officers and men of the North Battalion of the East China Sea Division was to contain the enemy forces in the city and create favorable conditions for the officers and men of the South Battalion to occupy Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon Province in Goryeo.

After Guan Shanyue led his troops to Pyongyang to join the officers and men of the Beida Battalion, he quickly launched a fierce attack on Pyongyang City in accordance with the predetermined plan of the General Staff.

When the sky was just dawning, the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion finally ushered in the long-awaited moment of counteroffensive. As soon as the horn of the attack sounded, with the cooperation of the officers and men of the Namdae Battalion, they rushed out of the trenches and, with the cooperation of the artillery battalion, attacked the Peony Peak in the north of Pyongyang.

Under the leadership of the vanguard officer Cao Bingzhang, the Ming army conquered the commanding heights of the north of the city Peony Peak after fierce battles, annihilated 5,000 Jin soldiers and 20,000 Goryeo Shunyi troops, and planted the handsome flag of the Ming Dynasty on the main peak, and the golden soldiers in the city were suddenly in chaos.

Guan Shanyue decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and immediately ordered the whole army: if the city of Pyongyang could not be captured before noon, all the generals and officers and soldiers of the forward battalion would be beheaded, and those who captured the city and ascended the city first would be promoted to three levels in a row, and awarded the title of hero, and those who retreated from the battle would be killed!

As soon as the military order was given, the morale of the Ming army was high, and the Goryeo stick Shunyi army outside the city could still stop their advance of the victorious pace, and they generally rushed through the defense line of the Goryeo stick when they cut melons and vegetables.

Cao Bingzhang took the lead, just like Zhao Zilong was alive, turned into a black whirlwind and rampaged in the battle array, and gave all the Goryeo sticks that blocked the way to Lord Yama for free.

This warmonger finally found the bloody state of fighting Tartars in the Royal Forest Post in the past, and even now that he has reached the rank of lieutenant, he still climbed the ladder of siege surrounded by his own soldiers.

He put the broadsword back, climbed up to the top of the city with both hands, and threw the oncoming Houjinlumen guard to the ground with one punch, and ended his life with the machete behind him.

I saw Cao Bingzhang standing at the head of the city like an iron tower, looking up to the sky and shouting, the clothes on his arms suddenly cracked, the thick black muscles on his arms glittered in the sunlight, brandishing a machete weighing dozens of pounds against the flagpole of the military flag in Houjin at the head of the city, and cut it off with a click.

The soldiers who followed followed did not need Cao Bingzhang's orders at all, and quickly erected the military flag of the Ming army at the head of the city, and the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted for a while, and the cheers shook the sky.

One door is lost, and all six are shocked. The willpower of the Jin soldiers defending the city collapsed instantly, looking at the Jin soldiers who abandoned the city and fled, Dai Shan knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, and under the escort of his own soldiers, he took off his military uniform and changed into a civilian uniform in a private house, taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army only controlled half of the city of Pyongyang, and ran towards the direction of the old nest - Shenyang City through the city gate that had not been lost for the time being.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, August 15.

After continuous troop increases, the Ming army fought on the southern front and successively recovered Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, Chungcheong-do, Hamgyong-do, and Gyeongsang provinces on the Goryeo Peninsula.

The Ming army on the northern front also completed the siege of Shenyang City, and slowly squeezed the forces of the Later Jin Dynasty to Shenyang City and the Goryeo Ping'an Province area like a sheep.

The sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived. Among them, Wu Sangui, a typical representative, knew that he could not escape his humiliation and hanged himself in Jinzhou City, ending his life of sin. However, Li Dingguo did not forget the gift of being dug up by him because of this, and asked Emperor Chongzhen to cut off his head and hang it outside Jinzhou City.

However, the people did not pity him at all, and all said that he was completely to blame for his fate in a different place.

Tokugawa Jiaguan is now beaten by the Ming army, and seeing the Ming army is like a mouse seeing a cat. In his eyes, the group of Ming soldiers carrying guns were simply the embodiment of the devil, they did not accept the prisoners of the Japanese state at all, and when cleaning the battlefield, as long as they saw something wrong, they would make up for their guns.

When the Wanli Dynasty invaded, as long as he surrendered, there was still a way to live, but now it is a dead end.

Guan Shanyue felt that he had to use the devil's method to deal with the beasts, and his strategy completely broke the psychological defense line of the pirates.

Although the armies on both sides were also composed of peasants, the morale of the Ming army was rising higher and higher, and the Japanese were like lost dogs, hiding in the cities of Jeolla Province in Goryeo and shivering, waiting for the Ming army's unscheduled final judgment.

After receiving the order that Guan Shanyue was in the East China Sea and the Qionghai Sea and could not see ships other than the Ming Dynasty, Sebuteng began to draw circles along the Goryeo Peninsula.

Zhang Xianzhong set out from Ezo Island, like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, and exerted his killing instinct to launch a large-scale killing campaign on the Japanese mainland, and with the cooperation of the natives of Ezo Island, he conquered the city and occupied half of the territory of the Japanese country in one fell swoop, and included Dongshan Road, Tokaido and Hokkaido in his bag.

If it weren't for Guan Shanyue's fear that he would take too big a step, it is estimated that Zhang Xianzhong would be able to lead the army to turn the Japanese country upside down.

Guan Shanyue invited Emperor Chongzhen to use the East China Sea Fleet and ocean-going merchant ships to open a large migration mode to Shandong and Shanxi.

The people of Shandong mainly migrated to the Goryeo Peninsula, and the people of Shanxi mainly migrated to the Wa Kingdom.

Emperor Chongzhen announced to the world through the "Daming Daily" that no matter where the people were, as long as they were willing to move and exempt from taxes for five years, the imperial court also provided free fields and houses to live in, and also gave away various new farming tools free of charge.

This is a great opportunity for the people at the bottom of society to turn over and turn into serfs and sing, and they raise their hands in favor. Even the victims of Henan, a populous province under the control of King Fu next door, ignored King Fu's orders and secretly gathered in Qingdao, Shandong.

Guan Shanyue had already thought about it, excluding those who took the initiative to surrender and surrender, the total number of Houjin and Goryeo stick captives was five or six hundred thousand, and Zhang Xianzhong's prisoners sent by the dog day were less than 30,000, and they were all almost negligible.

After the staff department gave them strict education and screening, Guan Shanyue, who had a strong sense of environmental protection, divided them into a group and sent them to the desert in the northwest to plant trees and work for labor transformation under the supervision of the Ming army.

Guan Shanyue is not a good person, anyway, the Ming Dynasty has a desert, and the condition for this group of people to atone for their sins and survive is that each family completes 5,000 acres of afforestation. On the premise of ensuring the survival rate, after passing the acceptance of the government, they and their descendants can truly integrate into the mainstream society of the Ming Dynasty with an innocent body.

This cannot be said that the imperial court did not give them hope, it can only be said that there is little hope.

After Liu Wenxiu communicated with Guan Shanyue a few times, just when they decided to start eating the Jin soldiers of Ping'an Dao, an urgent message that shocked them came from the Ming General Staff Headquarters, forcing them to stop attacking Houjin.
