North Korea in this time and space is very much with Han culture, and it is not as shameless as their descendants.

Therefore, Wang Yue's measure to treat them is complete assimilation, whether they are attached or not, such work must be done, and cultural assimilation can make this small country in the East China Sea and China completely integrated and difficult to separate.

What Wang Yue said was natural, Shen Shikui listened incredibly, and wondered: "Lord Wang, it is impossible for North Korea to agree to such conditions, right?" ”

Wang Yue said solemnly: "Mr. Shen, I must emphasize one point. We are the army of the Ming Dynasty, and it is our bounden duty to protect the Chinese, and no one or any country can arbitrarily infringe upon the rights and interests of our Chinese. Once such an incident occurs, our Tiance Army will intervene and strike at any country, anyone! Those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away! This sentence is definitely not a rhetoric. ”

From the category of Chinese, the Tiance Army has a reason to intervene in all countries in East Asia and escort the Chinese, because the Chinese can be seen in these countries.

By relocating the more than 100,000 people from Donggang Town to North Korea, the Tiance Army will have countless reasons to participate in North Korean affairs.

Shen Shikui heard ambition from Wang Yue's words, and he had to get to know Wang Yue again. Although today was the first time he had met Wang Yue, from the incredible steel warships in the port and the outstanding achievements of the Tiance Army, he somewhat believed that the Tiance Army might have such an ability.

"But, can the court allow it?" Shen Shikui asked.

It is a big sin to provoke a border without permission, and as an army of the imperial court, to wage war against other countries, especially against a subject country like Korea, it must go through the military department and the imperial court.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "General Shen only needs to manage and register the people in North Korea. The use of force against those disobedient forces will be up to us in the Tiance Army. Problems on the part of the court are also solved by the officials. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the various commodities in the storage room and said, "The condition for me to provide Dongjiang Town with these commodities for a long time is to let the people move to North Korea, and Dongjiang Town is responsible for registering and managing these people, and publicizing the position of the official to them, and you can ask Dongjiang Town and Tiance Army for help in case of trouble." Mr. Shen, can you meet these conditions? ”

Shen Shikui bowed his hand to Wang Yue and said: "This is also the way out for those people, and the general will definitely cooperate with Lord Wang to handle this matter well." ”

The profit from the goods provided by the Tiance Army is ten times that of the smuggling business currently operating in Dongjiang Town. After these hundreds of thousands of people came ashore, they were still under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town, and there would be no shortage of soldiers in the future, and the sphere of influence of Dongjiang Town had also expanded to North Korea, so of course Shen Shikui would not refuse.

This aid to Korea to fight the Qing army and strive for the interests of the starting city in Korea was Wang Yue's main purpose. The main purpose of this aid to Korea is to use the solution of the problem of Dongjiang Town, to intervene in Korean affairs by the way, and to expand the commercial and trade scope of the starting point city.

These two main objectives were basically achieved, and Wang Yue could continue to attack the Qing army.

On March 9, 1637, the 31st day of the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, at 9 o'clock in the evening.

Four maritime surveillance warships and four air-cushion landing craft, loaded with a regiment and a military medical team, marched from the port of Incheon in Gyeonggi Province of North Korea to Pyongyang.

The waterway from the port of Incheon to Pyongyang is about 240 kilometers, which is a little longer than the overland route, but it is faster than the movement of the attacking troops by land.

Although Wang Zhuo's troops set off a day and a half early, the fleet led by Wang Yue arrived outside Pyongyang ahead of schedule at 7 o'clock in the morning of 10 March.

"Send a report to the army commander, how far are they from Pyongyang now? How long does it take to arrive? "Hearing that it was approaching Pyongyang, Wang Viet instructed the soldiers to be on the road.

Wang Zhuo's reply was very fast, and the orderlies came to report: "Report to the commander!" The army commander called, they are still thirty kilometers away from Pyongyang, and they are expected to arrive in about four hours! ”

Although the 1st and 3rd regiments and special combat teams led by Wang Zhuo had more than 100 armored vehicles and more than 50 fuel tankers, they had more than 3,500 troops.

North Korea's roads are not good, and they are already moving at a speed of more than eight kilometers per hour, because soldiers can rotate in vehicles to rest.

In ancient times, the speed of marching rarely exceeded forty kilometers per day.

The Tiance Army is a semi-mechanized army, because there are vehicles that can march up to 100 kilometers a day, which is already an exaggeration. It was also difficult for the cavalry to march more than a hundred kilometers a day, as a rule, because the horsepower was limited.

It is said that Genghis Khan's cavalry could march 500 miles a day, or 250 kilometers, with one man and three horses.

Therefore, most of the forces of the Baoding army and the Korean army were left behind, and only the more than 2,000 cavalry of the Baoding army followed.

The naval fleet of the Cheonce Army went upriver and appeared on the Taedong River outside Pyongyang, where it was immediately spotted by Qing scouts who went out on patrol in the early morning.

Huang Taiji was still in the city, and after hearing the news, he immediately ordered all his troops to prepare for battle, and to prevent the Tiance army from launching an attack immediately.

He himself climbed the southern wall of Pyongyang to see what the Tiance army, which had brought huge losses to the Qing Dynasty, was like and why the Qing army had been defeated repeatedly. Dolgon, Amin, Daishan, Hauge and other Manchu princes Baylor also rushed to hear the news.

Through the monoculars, Huang Taiji finally saw the battleship of the Tiance Army clearly. Although it was not as huge as a hill as Amin had described, it was also the largest warship he had ever seen.

The Tunguska people who came out of the deep mountains and old forests had a limited understanding of the sea, and the Tiance army came from the water, which they did not expect.

The princes Baylor also watched the Tiance Army's maritime surveillance ships through monoculars. The southern wall of Pyongyang is three or four kilometers away from the Taedong River, which allows them to see the whole picture of the maritime surveillance boats, but unfortunately they do not know that it is already within the range of mortars.

There are no sails, the boat is slender, white throughout, and the cannon is not visible. The maritime surveillance ship was already very strange to them, and the four air-cushion landing craft were even more bizarre, the shape looked like four, not like a ship at all.

"King Gongshun, have you ever seen a warship like this? How powerful is this ship? ”

The banner of the Han army led by Kong Youde, the king of the Qing Dynasty, was the army with the most firearms in the Qing army.

Kong Youde had been in both Denglai Naval Division and Dongjiang Town, and he was also very experienced in water warfare, so he was consulted by Huang Taiji as an expert in water warfare, but he obviously asked the wrong person.

"Well, if you go back to the emperor, although the minions have seen countless warships, they have never seen such a battleship without sails, and they have not figured out how it travels and how to fight, so it is difficult to know its combat power!" Kong Youde said with shame on his face.

Huang Taiji is also helpless, the experts can't figure it out, and it's useless to ask others, didn't you see that the princes and Baylors next to him were also at a loss after seeing the enemy's battleships?
