There was no problem with the night voyage of the Denglai Naval Division, but their sailing speed could not keep up with the speed of the Tiance Navy.

In order not to affect the speed of the advance of the Tiance navy, the Denglai Navy Division and the Baoding Army would arrive eight to nine hours behind, which was calculated based on the speed of the ship provided by Chen Hongfan.

As soon as Chen Xinjia's voice fell, everyone said in unison: "Oh! "He's very happy with the current state, that's what it's like to be a commander of an army.

Gao Qiqian said: "Before our family came, the emperor repeatedly instructed that this expedition is related to the life and death of Korea, an important vassal of my Ming Dynasty, and you must fulfill your duties, kill the enemy bravely, and must not live up to the expectations of the saint." ”

The power of eunuchs comes from imperial power, so Gao Qiqian repeatedly emphasized the meaning from the emperor. The supervising army also has a bit of a meaning to the political training department of the Tiance Army, focusing on the propaganda of the consciousness of imperial power.

Again, the crowd said, "Oh! ”

North Korean envoy Park Jinhui said with gratitude: "Daming, parents, my North Korea will not forget the grace of the rebuilding of the mother country." After speaking, he wiped the corners of his eyes, since he saw the sailors of the Tiance Army, Park Jinhui has already thrown himself to the ground for the five bodies that Daming admires, the Celestial Empire is the Celestial Empire, and it is not comparable to North Korea.

Gao Qiqian was also very satisfied with the cooperation of the Korean envoys, and was also proud of such a mighty and majestic fleet on this expedition, he waved his hand generously and said: "This is the obligation of my Heavenly Empire to you, there is no need to do this. Everyone, let's dine. ”

This was followed by the clanging of meals, and after the meal, all departments were ready by four o'clock in the afternoon after intense boarding and loading work.

With Chen Xinjia's order, the various departments aiding the DPRK left the port an hour ahead of schedule and headed for the port of Incheon in North Korea.

The ships of the Tiance Army included two ro-ro ships, a dock landing ship, a supply ship and six maritime surveillance ships. The navy has done several times the adaptive navigation of dock landing ships and supply ships, although it is not yet proficient, in order to successfully cross the sea of the whole army at one time, under the clap of Wang Yue, it also went on the expedition.

At this time, the country of Korea was in a mess under the ravages of the Qing army, and when the Korean king Yi Liang heard that the Qing army was coming to Seoul, he did not have the courage to face the battle at all, and hurriedly moved to the precipitous Namhan mountain fortress to hide.

The Joseon king led hundreds of ministers of the guard and their families to flee, and after the heavy snowfall, the mountains froze, and everyone had to dismount and walk, bumping along the way and rushing for their lives. In the end, more than 10,000 Korean soldiers retreated to Namhansan Fortress (that is, a mountain-based earthen fortress near Seoul, the capital of South Korea), and then 50,000 troops led by Amin arrived one after another to surround the regiment on three sides.

After entering the mountain city of Nanhan, the king of Joseon, Li Liang, immediately appointed the general Li Shu to guard the north gate, Li Shibai to guard the west gate, the general Gu Hong to guard the south gate, Shen Jingzhen to guard the moon platform in the east city, Li Xianda as the Chinese army, the Korean garrison of the whole city 12,000 people, and at this time the Qing army forward 300 people have chased to the city.

The king of Joseon issued an order to kill one of the Qing soldiers and reward him with twenty taels of silver. After everything was arranged, the king of Joseon and the ministers blamed each other for such a disaster, and in the end, everyone had no way to withdraw their troops, and the courtiers could only cry bitterly.

On 24 February, Won Doo-pyo, the general of the North Gate of the North Korean Army, led a death squad to the battle, won the victory, beheaded six Qing troops, and stabilized the morale of the Korean army.

When the Qing army entered the dynasty, military discipline was extremely bad. Everywhere the army went, everything was looted, and houses and furniture were burned to the left and right. North Korean civilians are littered with deaths on mountain roads.

The 5,000 Qing light cavalry of the Qing army attacked all the way forward, defeated the Korean army in Huangzhou, and then defeated the Korean reinforcements of 15,000 people. On the 19th day of the first lunar month, he arrived on the outskirts of Namhansan Fortress and trapped the king of Joseon.

On the other hand, the Korean concubines fled to the beachhead of Kakutsujin, but there was no boat to cross, and they stayed on the shore for two days and nights, cold and hungry from top to bottom. The rest of the refugees were unknown, and the beachhead was full of people waiting for boats, begging and crying for only one boat.

After a while, the sound of the horses running and stomping on the ground was heard, and a sense of terror descended on the hearts of the beachhead crowd. The cavalry of the Qing army finally arrived at the beachhead, and in a blink of an eye, the beachhead suddenly became a hell on earth, with iron hooves trampled, slashed with knives, and spears. The fleeing crowds were either looted and enslaved by the Eight Banners Army, killed, or thrown into the sea to commit suicide.

None of the three Korean naval divisions went to the battle, and none of them dared to engage the Qing army. Only Zhong Qingshui made Jiang Jinxin rush to the aid of the starry night. Led more than 100 warships to engage more than 80 ships of the Qing army's naval division, the Qing army fired cannons, Jiang Jinxin's ship was hit by cannons in dozens of places, and he himself was shot by several sharp arrows. In the end, the Korean naval division was defeated, and the whole army was scattered.

The Qing army besieged Namhansan Fortress, where the king of Korea was hiding, and set up a long gate to trap it, focusing on defeating the Korean reinforcements.

Although the Korean Eight Provinces reinforcements were urgently reinforced, they did not play a big role in the war. The southern Korean army sent Xu Youshen to help, and the army defeated a Qing Mongol army at Tieling, and the Korean army was overjoyed and immediately pursued.

After entering the mountains, they were ambushed by the Mongol army, and for a time thousands of arrows were fired, and almost all of the Korean reinforcements were killed.

The reinforcements of the Ping'an Supervision Department Hong and the envoy Liu Lin also encountered the Qing army in Jinhua.

Liu Lin and Li Yiyuan are both famous Korean generals, and their subordinates are equipped with a large number of imitation Japanese iron cannons (arquebuses), which is the strongest iron artillery unit in the North Korean army.

The troops led by Deputy Marshal Shen Jingai, Jiangyuan Superintendent Zhao Tinghu and others were also known as elite, but they were all unsuccessful and were repulsed by the Qing army.

In the end, the Korean left soldier Xu Wan and others led the main force of the North Korean army with 40,000 reinforcements, and the elite musketeers and swordsmen of the DPRK arrived in the battle and set up camps.

On 26 February, the Eighth Banner Army was the first to attack, breaking through the wooden fence of the North Korean army in one fell swoop, and the North Korean army collapsed without a fight.

The Eight Banners Army clashed left and right, shooting from a distance and stabbing at close range, and the two major North Korean soldiers were all killed in battle.

Seeing that all the reinforcements were defeated by the Qing army, the Korean king Yi Liang was trapped in the mountain fortress of Namhan.

The Korean army in the city could see that the Qing army escorted a large number of captured Korean soldiers and civilians to the north, and the captured people did not dare to cry loudly, but wept secretly.

Originally, the king of Joseon sent the princesses, princes, and wives of important ministers to Ganghwa Island for refuge, but he didn't expect it. The Qing army crossed the sea and conquered Ganghwa Island, capturing 76 princesses, princes and members of the clan.

Upon receiving this news, the Joseon king Yi Ju was almost terrified, and despair spread in Namhansan Fortress.

According to the danger of the terrain, and then after the long-term construction of North Korea, it is a relatively strong fortress, the Qing army is difficult to conquer for a while, Huang Taiji ordered the transfer of the Kong Youde Han military flag to carry all the heavy artillery to reinforce, and on the other hand to launch a psychological offensive against the defenders in the city.
