Chongzhen five years, the first day of February, Liaodong Zhenjiang Fort.

The assembly deadline set by Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, has arrived, and the right-hand army that went out to conquer Korea has been assembled in Zhenjiang Fort, and all the soldiers and horses have gathered, and for a time the people outside Zhenjiang Fort are full of voices and lively.

Wu Xing, the chief military officer of Liaoyang Town, the commander of the right army, saw that all the armies had arrived, so he ordered the tent to be raised in Zhenjiang Fort and convened the Chinese army, the chief general of the army, to discuss the matter.

In the middle army of the Right Route Army set up in Zhenjiang Fort, Wu Xing sat at the top in military uniform. Below, Li Dingguo, the chief military officer of southern Liaoning, Gao Hongguang, the chief military officer of Taining, Huang Fuming, the chief military officer of Haixi, Ai Nengqi, the chief military officer of Tashan, and Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, sat next to Wu Xing in turn; Dozens of generals from various armies such as the trap camp sat at the head of the general soldiers, and the entire Chinese army was sparkling with iron armor and heroic spirit.

Wu Xing saw that all the generals had arrived, so he said loudly: "Today, all the armies have gathered in Zhenjiang Fort, and this town is the chief general of the right army appointed by the Zhenguo Gong, so it will begin to exercise the duties of the main general of the army!" Thank you for your support! ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Dingguo, Gao Hongguang, Huang Fuming, Ai Nengqi, and Yang Guozhu led dozens of staff members to stand up and clench their fists together, and said loudly: "We will obey the orders of General Wu Town!" Don't dare to disobey! ”

Wu Xing smiled and nodded, and said, "Since you have your strong support, then this town will begin to perform its duties." ”

"Please give an order from Mr. Wu!"

"This town ordered that the headquarters of Li Dingguo, the chief military officer of southern Liaoning, and the headquarters of Gao Hongguang, the chief military officer of Taining, were all dispatched at night to investigate the specific situation of the western province of Ping'an Province in Korea."

Li Dingguo and Gao Hongguang received the order in unison when they heard this: "Get the order!" ”

"This town ordered that the headquarters of the Haixi Chief Military Officer Huang Fuming and the Tashan Chief Military Officer Ai Nengqi were all dispatched at night to investigate the specific situation of the East Province of the Korean National Pyongan Province."

Huang Fuming and Ai Nengqi also received the order in unison: "Get the order!" ”

"In addition, the trapped camp under the command of this town will also cross the Yalu River to assist the battalions in conducting investigations."

After finishing speaking, Wu Xing said to Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town: "There is Lao Yang in charge of the collection of ships, and within fifteen days, we must raise a thousand ships!" ”

When Yang Guozhu heard this, he immediately got up and said, "Please rest assured that General Wu will definitely raise enough ships on time!" ”

Wu Xing nodded and said, "This town has reported that the army on the right side of the town has been assembled on time, and I have asked for the date of the army of the town and the country. The town estimates that the date of this troop dispatch will be a month later at the earliest, so we should take advantage of this time to find out the deployment of the Korean army, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy, so that we can not be defeated in a hundred battles. During this period, all soldiers and horses must not only complete the tasks assigned by the town, but also the training of the soldiers must not be relaxed, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion must be strictly trained, and there must be no slackness! ”

"Order!"

Within the next 10 days, the Ming army's army on the right side crossed the Yalu River at night without reluctance, and ran rampant in the west and east roads of the Korean national pyongan road. These soldiers who do not collect at night not only go around to investigate the deployment of the DPRK soldiers and horses, but also carry out surprise attacks on the DPRK soldiers and horses they find from time to time, and they will also take the opportunity to burn the grain, grass and baggage hoarded by the DPRK army. All of a sudden, there was a rumor in Pyongan Province, North Korea, and the whole country of Korea was shocked.

In fact, as early as when Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, led more than 300,000 Ming soldiers to sweep through Liaodong and exterminate the Manchu Tatars in one fell swoop, the Korean state had already realized that it had completely offended the previous suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the king of Joseon was named Li Liang, the eldest son of the fifth son of Seonjo of Joseon, and the nephew of Gwanghaejun of Joseon.

When the Qing army sent troops to Korea and coerced Li Liang to order the Korean State to break away from the Ming Dynasty and join the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Li Liang's heart could be described as 100,000 unwilling. After all, in Li Kun's heart, the Ming Dynasty is the Zhengshuo of China, the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, even if it is not good, it is the reborn parents of the Korean State (the Wanli War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and Aid Korea recreated the Korean State), how can you abandon the light and turn to the dark under the coercion of the Tartars?

However, under the threat of the Qing army's strong force and the instigation of the two classes of ministers, Li Liang still bowed his head and declared that the Korean state was no longer a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but a tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

After Li Liang broke away from Daming, he was very panicked in his heart, after all, Daming's coercion has been a long time, and it is already a deep-rooted feeling, and it is impossible to change it in a period of time.

However, what surprised Li Liang was that the Ming Dynasty did not react to this in the slightest, not only did not raise troops to ask for guilt, but also lost the city and land under the offensive of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and almost lost the entire Liaodong. In this way, a different kind of thought arose in Li Liang's heart, thinking that the Korean state might be able to benefit from the fishing when the Ming and Qing dynasties went to war. Even if he was lucky, Li Liang thought that he could lead the Korean state to become strong, rebuild the exploits of Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, and swallow the land of Liaodong in one fell swoop!

It was precisely out of this ambition that when Huang Taiji was preparing for a decisive battle with Liu Yunwei, who was counterattacking Liaodong, Li Liang actively sent troops to respond to Huang Taiji, trying to gain benefits in this war.

But it backfired, and the final outcome was not at all what Li Liang imagined, and the Korean elite sent by Li Liang was not the opponent of the Han Wei Army at all, and was completely wiped out, without the slightest power to fight back. Even Li Liang's new master, Huang Taiji, was defeated and died soon after, and the Great Qing Kingdom was also wiped out in the anger of 300,000 Ming soldiers!

At this time, Li Liang woke up from his dream and understood that the Korean State would not be the opponent of Huaxia no matter what, and once he met with the Ming sword soldiers, there was only one end, that is, the country was destroyed and died!

Li Liang was completely scared now!

If it is said that Li Liang's order for the Korean state to defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty was forced by the situation and extenuating circumstances, then later during the Liaodong War, he sent troops to participate in the war and help the Manchus fight against the Han Wei army together, which was a blatant declaration of war against the Ming Dynasty!

In fear, Li Liang prepared to plead guilty to Emperor Chongzhen, and asked Emperor Chongzhen to allow Joseon to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty again.

However, what Li Liang was waiting for was not Emperor Chongzhen's pardon edict, but a war letter!

Emperor Chongzhen was ready to gather more than 200,000 troops to fight against him, and ordered Li Liang to immediately abdicate, go to the country of Korea, and include the 3,000 miles of territory in Korea as the direct jurisdiction of Daming County!

Although Li Kun's heart is extremely afraid of the Ming Dynasty and the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, he will never directly abdicate and surrender without fighting a war!

Therefore, Li Liang ordered to gather all the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Korean state, and deployed them in all strategic points along the line of the Yalu River, ready to resist the thunderous blow of the Ming Dynasty.

It didn't take long for Li Liang to receive news that the Ming Dynasty had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhenjiang Fort in Liaodong and was hoarding grain and grass and preparing to cross the river.

Shocked when he heard the news, he hurriedly deployed the assembled 300,000 Korean troops in the east and west of Pyongan Province, and at the same time ordered the whole of Korea to start an emergency conscription, and men as old as 50 and 14 years old were to be incorporated into the militia, ready to fight to the death against the Ming army with all the strength of the Korean state.

"Only by hurting the Ming army can it be possible for the Ming army to retreat! Even if we are defeated, as long as our Great Korea fights its might, it will be able to lose decently, at least save the lives of the widows! ”

Just when Li Liang was thinking about the outcome by himself behind closed doors, he received a thunderbolt on a sunny day: the Ming army's iron cavalry army had crossed the river!

In fact, it was only the soldiers sent by Wu Xing, the commander of the army on the right, who crossed the river, and it was not the real iron cavalry army of the Ming army. However, in the eyes of the North Korean army, those tough soldiers who do not collect at night are a powerful army of iron cavalry, and there is no doubt about this!

Li Liang looked at the urgent report that it was written, Ping'an Dao was already full of smoke at this time, and the armies from all over the country were defeated under the blow of the Ming army's iron cavalry, and he was shocked in his heart. Driven by fear, Li Liang began to desperately increase troops to Pyongan Province, and in just half a month, he increased his troops to Pyongan Province by 100,000, and the North Korean army stationed in Pyongan Province swelled to 400,000 in a very short period of time, and it is still increasing!

At the same time, the continuous increase of troops in Korea and the deployment of troops in the east and west of Pyongan Province began to converge in front of Wu Xing.

Unlike the Korean state, the Ming army's situation of the enemy army has become clear from the beginning of the two eyes, and then to the final full understanding! However, the Korean state is still unclear about the situation of the more than 200,000 Ming troops on the other side of the Yalu River, and even the strength of the Ming army is not clear. The two sides are not on the same level at all!

Wu Xing saw that the situation of the Korean soldiers and horses on the other side of the Yalu River was becoming clearer and clearer, and he learned that the various troops sent to cross the river to investigate the night did not collect, and they were like no one among the hundreds of thousands of Korean troops, and the Korean army was simply unable to stop the various troops from not collecting at night, which shows the weakness of the Korean soldiers and horses!

In the Chinese army, when Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, came to report to Wu Xing about the collection of ships, he learned about the situation of the Korean soldiers and horses, and couldn't help laughing, and began to despise the Korean soldiers and horses, and said: "No wonder when Zhenguo Gong was in the Liaohe War, the first Qing soldiers and horses to be defeated by the formation were these Korean mongrels who fought for the tiger!" With such combat power, you still dare to go against my Daming? It seems that these North Korean mongrels are not only ungrateful, but also have a bad brain! ”

Wu Xing also laughed, and then said: "Chief Yang is arrogant! These Korean soldiers and horses are indeed not the opponents of our army, and our army will undoubtedly win this battle! It's just that, after all, our army is facing a country, and the enemy is a country with the strength of an army, so we still have to be cautious and must not take it lightly! ”

Yang Guozhu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said yes again and again.

At this time, a personal guard walked in quickly and said, "Qiqi Town, Zhenguo Gong has sent an order!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Xing hurriedly opened the order sent, only glanced at it, then laughed out loud, and said: "Pass the order, the whole army will start to cross the river in early April!" ”
