When the king of Joseon heard that the Qing army might be killed in Seoul soon, his face was as pale as a blank piece of paper, and for a while, he was extremely frightened, why did Korea oppose the Qing army all times, and the result was like this, is this the will of heaven?

This was the result of the first two confrontations with the Qing army, and this year, there will be another "Xinmao Disorder" in the history of Korea.

North Korea watched the Ming Dynasty recover Nanjing, thinking that this time with the protection of the Ming Dynasty's army, it could resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty and straighten up in front of the Qing army, but the result was the same as the previous times, and the Korean king was suddenly a little discouraged.

"Your Highness! Time waits for no one, hurry up and withdraw with us! Xie Qian saw that the king of Korea was in a daze, and urged.

The king of Joseon reacted, but he was a little anxious: "The prince and the princess are not ready yet, General Xie will wait!" ”

Xie Qian fled all the way to Seoul, less than 20,000 of the 60,000 allied troops withdrew, and more than 40,000 people were lost, the Qing soldiers could kill Seoul at any time, and the Qing army had many cavalry, if he didn't flee quickly and widen the distance, I was afraid that he would be pulled by the tail of the Qing army all the way and forced to jump into the sea.

"Your Highness, offended!" Xie Qian frowned, and suddenly waved his hand: "Take the king of Korea and leave here!" ”

The generals on both sides immediately stepped forward, and without saying anything, they ran out of the palace with the king of Joseon.

Xie Qian glanced at the palace, and then instructed a member of the generals: "The Queen Mother Zhao must take it away, how many other princes and concubines can bring, and if they can't be taken away, they can't fall into the hands of the Qing army, understand?" ”

The step-concubine of the first king of Joseon when she was the queen mother was a representative of the pro-Ming forces in Korea and had a great influence on the political situation in Korea.

Xie Qian couldn't take care of so much, after he finished giving the order, he turned around and walked out, but he didn't take a few steps, but he suddenly stopped and said to his subordinates: "Does Guanghaijun still have children?" ”

Many of the generals shook their heads, obviously not quite clear.

Seeing this, Xie Qian frowned, and ordered a person: "You go find a North Korean official who is familiar with the situation, if there is, be sure to kill him, and then go to Jeju Island in the south to meet the governor!" ”

The general immediately bent down and clenched his fists and took the order, and Xie Qian and his party also carried the torch and came to the south gate of Seoul, where a large number of defeated troops had already gathered, as well as Korean nobles.

Outside the city gate, there were torches everywhere, Lin Qingye walked through the crowd, looked for a long time, and finally saw the car of the king of Joseon, and hurriedly ran over to salute the king of Joseon.

"The king, the ministers are incompetent! failed to stop Hulu and let the people of Sanhan suffer a catastrophe! ”

The king of Joseon was taken out of the city by Xie Qian's people, and his heart was shocked, and when he saw Lin Qingye, he was immediately relieved, he rang his family, and immediately ordered: "The Qing family gets up quickly, go and help Gu to see if the princess and the prince are coming." ”

Lin Qingye hurriedly saluted, and then ordered several North Korean generals, "Go and have a look!" ”

At this time, Xie Qian had already turned over and got on his horse, and then ordered, "Let's go!" ”

The torches gathered outside the city gate began to march south from the south gate of Seoul under his command.

When the king of Joseon saw the crowd heading south, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Didn't you go to Ganghwa Island?" ”

"King, the ice surface of Ganghwa Island has not thawed, we will retreat south to Jeolla Province, and if the Qing army continues to pursue, we will go to sea and retreat to Jeju Island."

Cheju? The king of Joseon was a little unhappy in his heart, that place was no different from a wasteland, so many people gathered there, I am afraid that even eating would be a problem.

Daiseon's 50,000 army, after breaking through the blockade of the coalition forces near Kaesong, covered all the way, the coalition army ambushed the corpse for more than 50 miles, killed more than 20,000 people, captured more than 10,000 people, and the rest of the coalition troops either fled to Seoul or ran east into the mountains and forests.

In order to decide Korea for the First World War, Daishan asked Wakda to clean up the battlefield and take prisoners, and he led his men and horses to continue the pursuit.

Qing Qi rested for a night, and approached Seoul at noon the next day, but Seoul was already an empty city, which made Dai Shan a little surprised, but when he thought that Xie Qian was good at running and escaping, otherwise the Qing army would not have spent a lot of effort and did not exterminate him, Dai Shan felt a little relieved.

After fully realizing Xie Qian's ability to flee for his life, Daishan stayed in Seoul to deal with North Korean affairs, and immediately let Nikan continue to pursue without stopping.

The Qing cavalry chased Xie Qian's tail all the way into Jeolla Province, forcing the coalition forces to abandon a large amount of supplies and defeat the two broken men and horses, but when they were about to catch up, they encountered an ambush by the coalition forces.

The ambush lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and the North Korean army involved in the ambush was too weak to fail, and the ambush turned into a rout again, but Nikan was too frightened to pursue it blindly.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the allied forces withdrew to Gwangju, fled to Haeman County on the 22nd, and then entered Jindo Island by boat, and finally sent the Joseon King to Jeju Island by large ship, and the pursuit of the Qing army stopped.

At this time, the eight provinces of Korea and the five provinces in the west were all occupied by the Qing army, and Daiseon 50,000 horses and horses fought from the Yalu River to Jeolla Province, from north to south, and penetrated Korea at once, as for the Hamgyong Province, Gangwon Province, and Gyeongsang Province in the east, it should be because of the mountainous terrain, and the Qing army did not touch it, but it was only a matter of time before they really wanted to fight and occupy them all.

After this battle, there were only more than 12,000 of the 30,000 Ming troops in Korea, and the 30,000 Korean troops were even more miserable, with less than 7,000 left.

The coalition troops who withdrew to the southern islands, plus the Korean nobles and their dependents, added up to less than 50,000 people, and not only 50,000 people, the daily consumption is not a small number, but fortunately, before that, the Ming army accompanied the Japanese to plunder the northern coast, and a lot of supplies were stationed on Jeju Island and other places.

The reason why it is placed here is mainly because North Korea is barren and has limited materials that can be digested, so Xie Qian can only smuggle these materials into Japan, and Xie Qian also feels that North Korea is poor and weak, so he prepared some food in advance to leave a way back for himself.

At the end of February, news came back from Seoul that Daishan had found a son of Gwanghae-kun and made him the king of Joseon, and reused the descendants of the Western Party officials of Joseon to reorganize a Joseon royal court that was absolutely obedient to the Qing court to rule Korea, and declared that Gwanghae-kun's lineage was the orthodoxy of Korea, and the former king of Joseon, Yi Jun, and the current king of Joseon, Yi Hao, were both chaotic ministers and thieves.

Xie Qian has already sent someone to eradicate the heirs of Gwanghaejun, I don't know if it was unsuccessful, or if Dai Shan just found one person, but Dai Shan did this, which made the Joseon royal court exiled to Jeju Island very passive.

If the Qing army directly occupied Korea, they could also call on the Koreans to resist, but Dai Shan erected such a puppet, and Korea had two kings at once, the cost of the Qing army's rule of Korea was reduced, and the thinking of the Koreans became confused, and the influence of the Korean king Li Hao was greatly damaged.
