Chapter 183: Changed his name to Anton
At this time, Mao Youde, who had already led the fleet into the mouth of the Yalu River, saw the army with the blue flag turning north from a distance, and he was also anxious. www.biquge.info If Jianyu gave up crossing the river from here, then it would be difficult for him and Li Xingzhong's fleet of sailors to make contributions on the river.
Fortunately, the ferry between Yizhou and Zhenjiangbao is not very far from the mouth of the Yalu River, and the fleet led by Mao Youde soon arrived on the Yalu River outside the east gate of Zhenjiangbao.
Mao Youde's flagship rushed to the front of the entire fleet, and when he heard the tiger squat cannon on Zhenjiang Fort firing at him, Mao Youde immediately ordered the Franc cannon on his ship to fire immediately.
Of course, the tiger squat cannon on the east gate of Zhenjiang Fort could not hit the Ming fleet on the Yalu River, and the effective range of the Franc cannon on the Ming convoy was not enough to pose too much threat to the defenders on Zhenjiang Fort.
So the two sides shelled each other several rounds, and neither of them caused any damage to the other side, except for wasting ammunition.
Moreover, soon after the Ming army fleet entered the Yalu River estuary, the river gradually narrowed, and the river channel gradually became shallower.
Mao Youde then waved a flag with Li Xingzhong, telling Li Xingzhong to lead the rest of the remaining sailing fleet, mainly composed of Fu ships, to continue to shell Zhenjiang Fort on the west bank.
Mao Youde himself led a fleet of small and medium-sized galleys, mainly composed of centipede boats and Cangshan boats, to continue to go north along the river and bombard the Jianyu army on the shore to the east.
Although the number of Francophone guns equipped with Mao Youde's galleys was small, it posed a great threat to the Fu Erdan department that remained behind.
Soon after Amin abandoned the city and left, Mao Wenlong took Qu Chengen, Liu Xingzuo and others, followed the retreating army with blue flags, and chased out the west gate of Yizhou City.
However, due to the orderly retreat of Jianyu, and the combat effectiveness of the blue flag, there was not much loss, Mao Wenlong, Qu Chengen and others were worried that Amin would lead the army back to counterattack, so they did not dare to get too close, but just thought that when Amin led the army to cross the river, he would attack halfway with the sailors who were waiting for the opportunity at the mouth of the Yalu River.
But what Mao Wenlong, Qu Chengen and others did not expect was that when Amin arrived at the river, he did not immediately command the army to cross the river, but after a moment of hesitation, he decisively gave up crossing the river on the spot, and chose to quickly go north along the river.
Mao Wenlong, Qu Chengen and others didn't dare to chase too urgently, one is because the main force of Dongjiang Town on their side has been fighting all night. Up and down are exhausted, and the usual ten percent combat power can't even play two CDs at this time.
The second is because he heard from Liu Xingxian that Jianyu had prepared hundreds of flat-bottomed ferries on this side of the Yalu River. With such favorable conditions, Amin is likely to choose to cross the river on the spot. And once Amin chooses to cross the river on the spot, then Mao Wenlong's department will also have an excellent opportunity to attack half-crossing.
It's a pity that Amin and his generals are not fools, and the wishful thinking of Mao Wenlong and others obviously did not start.
In the face of Amin's army of Jianyu who went north along the river, although Mao Wenlong was a little hesitant, he finally chose to follow and pursue.
However, the first group of pursuit teams sent by Mao Wenlong, that is, the new 4,000 cavalry troops in Iron Mountain City, had just caught up with the rear of Amin's army, and was defeated by Fu Erdan, who was ordered to be the queen of the palace, with 3,000 Jianyu cavalry.
After defeating the cavalry of the Tieshan Army led by Mao Shi in one face, he quickly went south with three thousand horsemen and chased after the Tieshan Army in Dongjiang Town.
Fortunately, at this time, Mao Youde led the galleys to the north along the river, and saw that the cavalry of the Jianyu Brigade went south to pursue his own army, and immediately ordered the Franc machine on the ship to open fire.
Although the firing range of the Franc cannon was not enough to completely cover the Voerdan's headquarters on the east bank of the Yalu River, the solid projectile of the Franc cannon would still impact far forward when it hit the ground on the east bank. The deterrence of ricochets still put a lot of pressure on Vordan's cavalry.
Therefore, with the continuous firing of the fleet on the Mao Youde River, Fu Erdan did not dare to pursue far and immediately stopped the pursuit, and once again turned around and headed north.
And Mao sometimes took the opportunity to gather the cavalry of the Tieshan Army, and with the assistance of Qu Chengen, the general of Dongjiang Town, he also pursued north again.
Only this time, the two didn't dare to chase too closely, they both followed from a distance, only picking up the old and weak wounded soldiers who had fallen behind to win the first rank, and at the same time, they also harvested a lot of various types of baggage ordnance.
In this way, Amin led the blue flag, which was not much damaged, and the remnants of the red flag, along the east bank of the Yalu River, all the way north. Two days later, Amin led the Jianlu army to the vicinity of the Zhusheli part of the upper reaches of the Yalu River, which was later near the Linjiang River, met Buzhantai, who came to meet him, and then successfully crossed the Yalu River, which had become very narrow here, and successfully returned to the hinterland of Jianlu.
It wasn't until more than half a month after this series of events that Emperor Chongzhen was able to understand the whole process in detail from the good news delivered by Dongjiang Town.
After learning about these circumstances, Emperor Chongzhen's first thought was not to immediately order the reward of the generals of Dongjiang Town, but to immediately dictate to the Military Aircraft Department and the cabinet to change the name of Yizhou on the east bank of the Yalu River to Andong.
And this Uiju is also the new Uiju of the Jin Dynasty on the peninsula in the later generations.
As for Andong in history, of course, it was on the Chinese side on the west bank of the Yalu River, that is, the so-called Zhenjiang Fort at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the so-called Dandong in later generations.
It is said that later generations changed the name of Anton to Dandong because the name Anton had the aggressive characteristics of the feudal era, and they were afraid that the continued use of it would affect the revolutionary friendship between the two countries on both sides of the Yalu River.
But of course the current Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care about this, he is not the farmer in the story of the farmer and the snake, or the Mr. Dongguo in the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, he will not be deceived and will not have any mercy on the so-called indigenous people of the Korean Peninsula.
In the heart of his heart, there is such a white-eyed wolf-like country and nation, which is intolerable to the current Emperor Chongzhen.
Because he clearly knows the importance of this land to future generations of China, and the seemingly loyal and respectful nation in front of him is actually a white-eyed wolf that can never be fed.
Now that it coincides with such historical conditions, if you don't take the opportunity to get back this land that the ancestors of the Han family once owned, it would really be too sorry for the ancestors of the Chinese family.
Because Huang Taiji once led tens of thousands of troops to conquer Korea in the spring of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the east of the Yalu River in North Korea to the west of the Datong River was the main battlefield for Jianyu's conquest of Korea and the battle against the army of Dongjiang Town.
As a result of the war, most of the officials and people in this area, that is, most of the officials and people in the so-called Hamgyong-do and Pyongan provinces in Korea, either fled all the way east across the Taedong River to seek refuge from the Joseon Lee dynasty; Either flee south to the territory of Dongjiang Town, seeking refuge in Dongjiang Town.
The vast majority of those who fled east across the Daedong River to follow the Joseon and Lee courts were indigenous Koreans.
The vast majority of those who went south to Dongjiang Town were Han people from all over Liaodong who had fled here for decades.
The number of these Han people in Liaodong who were exiled to the east of the Yalu River was very large, and in the spring of the seventh year of the Apocalypse alone, when Jianyu conquered Korea for the first time, more than 200,000 people went south to Dongjiang Town.
After a series of battles, the Korean people who stayed where they were and did not flee ended up even more miserable, either being massacrated by the Jianguo army, or being taken back to Liaodong as slaves by the retreating Jianguo army.
According to historical records, during the first expedition to Korea, Amin led a massacre with a blue flag, killing more than 30,000 Koreans.
Therefore, after the Battle of Dongjiang, Changju, Uiju, Jeongju, Anju and other places, that is, the Xianjing Province and Pyongan Province of the Lee Dynasty in Korea, except for the remote northern mountainous areas, there were not many ordinary people.
And even the remote northern mountains are now facing the plundering of the post-Jinula tribe of Beleb Zhantai. This plundering was not simply the plundering of livestock and wealth, but more importantly, the wanton plundering of the North Korean population as a slave.
This wanton plundering of the population of Hamgeong-do Province in Korea was expressly agreed to in the treaty that forced the Yi dynasty of Korea to sign after the conquest of Korea.
This kind of open predation and slavery also caused the population of Xianjing Province, which was not in the army of Dongjiang Town, to flee eastward, so that the population east of the Yalu River and west of the Datong River became increasingly scarce.
Taking this opportunity, it happened to be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, after the Jianyu conquered Korea in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, this land was already controlled by Dongjiang Town, and the few cities that were already small were all controlled by Dongjiang Town.
Now Emperor Chongzhen is determined to do this, but it is only to make Donggang Town's occupation of present-day northern Korea more justified.
