"Your Excellency. There must be a few hundred North Korean soldiers defending the city on the Inchon side. Don't these people have to be killed? ”

Sitting in the liquor shop, the two young merchants also looked subordinate. Wait until the soldiers and horses in Tsing Yi report that the Manchurian soldiers have been killed. The merchant sitting on the right asked.

The man sitting on the left had already stood up. He took off his merchant robes. Dressed in light armor. On the side, there were soldiers in Tsing Yi handing over various weapons. He wore them one by one. replied with a smile:

"Mr. Zheng doesn't have to worry about it. These North Korean soldiers appeared when my Jiaozhou Erlang appeared. These bastards immediately kowtow and surrender. It is clear that the Tartars in the city are real and real, and even where they are prostitutes. Thus the sheep are obtained. It's good to be a coolie. ”

Known as "Mr. Zheng", the soul-winning man stood up. He had to smile a little more. Then said:

"General Xiao Wang is here this time. It's already a great achievement. The future of Japan is bound to be limitless. ”

Say this. Over there, General Wang smiled first. Then his expression became much more serious. Spoken:

"Mr. Zheng. Our Jiaozhou battalion can be called a general, and there are only two of them: Pingnan and Zhengxi. Wang Hai is now only a general. Don't break the rules. ”

The Mr. Zheng nodded and took off his long shirt. Out of the inside dressed in a short dress. It is the attire of the sailors of the sea.

Wang Hai walked out of the wine shop. I looked left and right. Su Sheng asked the people around him:

"Did the Incheon Tartars and the Korean soldiers escape?"

Immediately, a big man in Tsing Yi replied:

"Nope. When our army moved, it was already guarding the checkpoints everywhere. Sure is foolproof. ”

Wang Hai nodded. Again, he asked:

"Is there any news from Seoul?"

"Returning to your lordship. There's no news yet. ”

Seoul to Incheon. Although there are 6 ways to connect. There is also a waterway of the Han River. But a one-way trip can take a day to a day and a half. Wang Hai groaned slightly. Lang Sheng says:

"You can lure those Tartars out. That is, less hassle. If you can't elicit it. We brought artillery with us this time. It's not impossible to blast it away. ”

The words were like a command, and they were like talking to themselves. After all that is said. (╰→) Wang Hai turned back and said to Mr. Zheng, who was standing in the store:

"Mr. Zheng. You can get a ship from the sea. At night. Can a ship enter the port? ”

The man walked out the door. Raised his hand and tried to get downwind. He replied:

"And send a boat to inform. Now the wind is light. If you come here. Tomorrow morning at the earliest. ”

Wang Hai pondered for a moment and said:

"Mr. Zheng. This time to North Korea. Wang certainly has an opportunity to make contributions. Isn't Mr. Zheng? I'm afraid that my status in the clan will be different when I go back this time, right? You and I work well together. Take this opportunity. lest you regret it when you are down. ”

Originally, it was Wang Haide's character. Not at all so cautious. can look at the brothers back then that year, they were all generals. Now Dashuai has given himself such a chance. You have to get it right.

Despite the fact that the big soldiers are in small countries. Grasp it all. But he is still cautious and does not dare to make a small mistake.

Follow him to that Mr. Zheng. But it was Zheng Sha who got his son. Changed to Zheng Jiao. The name of the Zheng family in this area is probably found on the beast. Or look for it on these ferocious aquariums. Now the Zheng family. The three sons of the Zheng family, "Dragon", "Tiger" and "Leopard", are of course undoubtedly the core. The children of the side branch want to get a higher position in this Zheng family. It also depends on earning meritorious deeds outside.

This time with a flotilla came to North Korea. Zheng Zhibao is still a hostage over there. It is also related to the Zheng family's future glory and disgrace. Be sure to choose someone who is comfortable to lead the team.

But this thing seems dangerous. If you think about it, there's nothing wrong with it. Whoever comes will be a big achievement. The children of the Zheng family are also flocking to the top. Of course. The Zheng family is called the family. In fact, it looks like a local feudal town. The various systems are not something that can be played with by family affection.

to the end. Zheng Shark's ground and credit are great. This good errand also fell on his room. Zheng Jiao has been going back and forth between Nanzhili and Shandong for several years. I am familiar with the ground, too. People are also very familiar. Of course, it is easy to do.

The Ming Dynasty forbids the sea. This North Korea also has to follow the ban on the sea. That's why Incheon is a good port. But on a small scale. At this scale. Or the Ming Dynasty wanted to gain the sea, in order to trade with the Manchus. Only then did the port begin to be used.

There are many Han people in the port. There are also a small number of widows. The North Koreans did not have an absolute advantage in numbers. However, it is relatively cowardly with the 6 people in North Korea. The North Koreans here are all inside 6 and can't get mixed up to come to beg for a living. There are many people who come and go from the south to the north. It's all a bit of guts, too.

It was supposed to be near the end of the year. On this side of Incheon, there will be more than 20 days of frozen harbor in winter. So in late October, there were basically no ships coming here.

However, in September and October this year, the large-scale cargo landing did not arrive. These people are planning to be early who is going to be home. Who thought a few days ago. More than a dozen Zheng Jiade cargo ships docked and entered the port. It's been a long time in the port. These people know it in their hearts. This Zheng family is the first maritime merchant in the Ming Dynasty. Each time, it was trafficking in large parcels of goods.

This time albeit a few days late. It can be according to the rules of the past. The Zheng family got the goods. Surely other local merchants will follow. I can still earn some silver taels before the year.

The Zheng family brought too many sailors this time. They are all strong men. The North Koreans who worked the docks were a little dissatisfied. I thought to myself, you still have to rob us of this little money. There are more sailors. It also requires a lot of labor to carry goods. Spend less money to hire.

Who would have thought that the other party would not carry so many people for transportation. It's to kill people. It's almost two days of work. The Manchu soldiers in Incheon City were all killed cleanly. The North Korean soldiers were also taken into custody.

There was a war disaster. Everyone knows that there are big things to do. I want to stay away from here. Those "Zheng family sailors" refused to let go. In the city of Incheon, the people of all ethnic groups are very worried.

The Koreans in Incheon City all knew that the Manchu soldiers and horses were powerful. I don't want to report the incident in the city to the officials. I don't know if I'm going to get into a lot of trouble. Despite the fact that the city is tightly sealed. But there are still many people who have made up their minds. Wait for the time to release the people in Kaesong. Be sure to go to the nearest local government to report the news.

This can be regarded as a weak nation, and there are ways to resist weakly. But these two days were very quiet in Incheon. All these North Koreans in the city knew that it was the next morning. It was the 14th of October. Incheon will no longer continue to be locked down. Let people come and go freely.

But the next morning. Those who have the heart to repay the news in the city are completely dead. The small port of Incheon must have been crammed with large ships.

Bands of soldiers swam down the boat. After lining up at the port, we sailed to the open space east of Incheon to assemble. All the idlers in the city were requisitioned to the port to carry all kinds of baggage. Some of the boats were even loaded with horses. Someone who had the heart to report that they saw the cannon unloaded from the ship. They had never seen such a weapon. I have never seen such a mighty and elite soldier.

Seeing such force. All of them were chilled and timid. At this time, even if they are let out. They didn't dare to report it. It's the war disaster that is coming. It's better to flee to the middle of nowhere.

But now. Even if these people want to go. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. All the young and strong people in the city were conscripted as civil husbands. Carry supplies for the army. If you leave without permission, you will be killed.

It is said that this has to be transported over long distances. After the soldiers disembarked. There is always a short break. But these ships came across the sea. Some of the soldiers formed a group after disembarking. Directly under the guidance of people, we are heading in the direction of Seoul.

The Port of Incheon is not large. More than 5,000 soldiers plus carrying heavy artillery and other items. From morning to night. Wang Hai was alone in North Korea this time. Be cautious at first. Although there are special quartermasters and subordinates who are responsible for the inspection. But he still personally inspected the important materials. Cannons, guns, and other things.

However, there is one thing that is relatively convenient in North Korea. That's gunpowder. Because North Korea also has a fleet of cymbals. Therefore, there is some storage of gunpowder in the arsenals everywhere. These supplies are requisitioned on the spot. It can make Shandong more convenient.

Wang Hai brought 2,000 elite soldiers of the experimental brigade to Jinan. After coming to Dengzhou Mansion. Another 3,000 people were transferred from Zhao Nengde, the general soldier of Denglai. Take a boat on the Zheng family. From the back of Weihai Weidi Military Port. I came to the port of Incheon.

Although the Port of Incheon is the maritime gateway to Seoul. As long as it is in this port to board 6. You can go straight down the Han River into Seoul. But there's no defense here. That is, more than a hundred Tartar soldiers. There are also more than 300 Korean soldiers. Or rather, the soul winners here didn't expect anyone to come from the sea.

Whether it was the Manchus or the DPRK. I don't have any idea of the sea. It's like it's in history. Although Kong Youde once led his troops to flee north by boat from the capital city of Dengzhou. But the Manchus never thought of attacking Shandong from the sea. In Shandong Deng6. Actually, there are Nagayama Islands. It's a very convenient thing to do.

They did not think that any enemy would come from the sea. It doesn't mean that the enemy won't come from the sea. The elite troops of the Jiaozhou battalion cooperated with the capacity of the Zheng family's fleet. Put five thousand people in North Korea. But that's enough.

According to Wang Hai's estimation in advance. This side has to be after the pawn 6. At noon, the news came over there. However, the messenger did not give an accurate answer.

Some things are clear. It is said that the Tartar soldiers in the city were all led out. Set up ambushes and intercept them on the roads of Seoul and Incheon. It's already a total annihilation. But those ambushes were about three or four hundred people. After the annihilation of the Tartars. In order to get the general, the general ordered everyone to change into Tartar clothes. Ride back to the city.

The soldiers of the experimental brigade are actually equivalent to the non-commissioned officers of other divisions. He is the most elite soldier in Shandong. They have a certain combat capability.

Wang Hai gave them the task of luring out all the Tartars in the city and killing them. It was afraid that the Tartars in the city would go to other places to ask for help. Or close the gates and hold on.

Close the gates and defend them. Although the Koreans in the city did not have much combat power. But Seoul is a big city anyway) It takes effort to take it down. And if these four hundred Tartars oversee the war. Things can be a bit of a problem.

But after killing the Tartars. But it is difficult to ensure that these North Koreans in the city do not distinguish between the false and the real. Go and report to Pyongyang or the Tatars in the Liaodong area. Although the Manchu soldiers and horses had no defense in this area. But there are still more than 5,000 troops to mobilize. When the time comes, add the North Korean soldiers. That's a big problem.

These soldiers who intercepted and killed the Tartars on the road were also really single. Take these aspects into account. It's simply a risky impersonation. This time anyway. They also learned a little about the terrain in Seoul. Especially to know where the camp of these Tartars is.

They put on the garments of the slain tartars. The blood and the breaches had to be hastily wiped away. Then he got on his horse and ran into the city.

In Seoul, he was a member of the Korean civil and military forces. I didn't think that those crazy Han people were setting up an ambush outside the city. These North Korean officials were only thinking about how to appease the anger of the Manchu soldiers.

Don't bring disaster upon yourself.

Hardly any North Koreans saw the ambush up close. All soul winners run away in fear. They only know that the battle is fierce. What these people see is what these people in Seoul know.

It's going to get dark. Only then did they see hundreds of cavalry in sight. When you see these people, you have to dress up. It was after the Manchu soldiers who ran out during the day. At the head of the city, the guards got the soldiers, and Cao Jushu ordered the soldiers to open the city. Looking at these Shangguo soldiers, they are already tired of killing. It's better to open the gates quickly. Don't make them angry.

The "Manchu soldiers and horses" rushed straight into the city gate. It doesn't stop on the streets. Rampage back into his own barracks.

North Korean officials finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that these Manchu soldiers and horses have already vented all their anger. Presumably, those Han people who don't know why they lost their hearts and went crazy have already been killed. When the Manchu soldiers and horses went out of the city. No matter how many people pondered, they couldn't figure out why those honest Han merchants suddenly made such a move.

It seems that Wen Lihan once robbed the daughter of a certain Ming merchant in May. Although the daughter ended up hanging herself. But it was a few months later. I won't bring it up now.

But none of these things have anything to do with our North Korea. Let's send the wine and meat woman to the camp first. Let these soldiers and horses of the kingdom not continue to fire.

The Manchu soldiers and horses stationed in Seoul were particularly angry tonight. All the way back to the camp, the gate was closed. All the labor and military supplies raised by North Korea were blocked.

It doesn't matter if you don't want supplies. As long as you don't come out and steam your anger at North Korean civilians. There is no ambiguity in the fact that the DPRK has won the parliamentary council. He immediately ordered the defense of the city of Seoul to arrest the Han people in the interior of the city overnight. On the North Korean side, except for the merchants. There are also many Hermes-Epitek who are engaged in other livelihoods. This time, they were all arrested.

At present, Korea is a vassal state of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. As for this Ming De Hermes-Epitek. What does he do?

The Manchus still had more than a dozen people left behind in the military camp in Seoul. These bannermen sensed that something was wrong. But what can a dozen of them do? He was immediately slashed with a knife.

Until the next day. When I went to the ambush site to survey the site, the North Korean errand officer realized that something was wrong. Because the bodies that were buried at the scene. After digging it out. The tail of the rat can be seen on the back of the head. That is, the pigtails of the Jurchen Eight Banner soldiers. When the officials came to investigate, they immediately panicked. Since this side has to be a Jurchen. Who the hell is in the city?

The errand soldiers who came here to explore hurriedly gathered the nearby people. Even passers-by were hired by them to work as coolies. We will dig up all the bodies that were buried yesterday.

The more I dig, the more panicked I became. Every corpse was stripped naked. Which braid is on the back of the head. At this point, the only thing you can do is to notify Seoul as soon as possible. Kai didn't wait for them to set off. I saw a force that was not a Korean army, nor a Manchu army. Swaggered over.

There are almost 1,000 people in this team. The armor is excellent. The momentum is overwhelming. The problem is that this foreign army is not hiding its meaning at all. It's like marching in your own country.

There are pedestrians on the road, and it is really chickens and dogs. It's a mess. No one dared to stand in the way of this army. Look at the direction of the Zhu ** team's actions. It seems to be where Seoul is. The royal city of Joseon. Some have a nimble brain. There's a lot to know. I thought of the past when the Japanese army crossed the sea to commit crimes.

Looking at these armies, it is clear that they are Han Chinese. Is it because our North Korea is subservient to the Manchus? Did the Ming court finally send someone to punish it?

The Ming Dynasty has been the suzerainty of Korea for 300 years. There are also the deeds of sending a large army to save Korea from the danger of destroying the country. This heavenly kingdom was coerced in the hearts of the Koreans. It's not something that other countries can understand.

Whether it's pedestrians on the road or North Korean errand officers who search for corpses. There is a kind of despair spreading. Could it be that North Korea is about to die.

None of the Koreans who encountered this Han army thought of reporting to Seoul or the nearby Deguan Office. Their first instinct was to run. The farther away from this Seoul, the better. Daming has to be punished by the army. That's a real thing.

About three miles outside of Seoul. There were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Korea. These more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 2,000 city guards in the city. It's the most powerful armed force around Seoul.

The more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in Pingsuri are firmly in the hands of the leaders of the council. Cultivating the most fertile land around Seoul for the Korean Minister. And there were a few small messes in the royal palace of Seoul. They all relied on this army to calm down. It can be said that it is elite. Of course. This is nothing more than the elite of North Korea.

The real army that North Korea can fight is basically in the border with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It has always been fighting with the Manchu Qing and some Jurchen tribes. The soldiers are more or less combative. For example, the Korean firecrackers killed the five ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Tatars, questioning the land Feiyangu was the result of the war that year.

Therefore, these soldiers in the north of Korea are the main force drawn by the Manchu Qing Dynasty at present. Both big and small battles are followed by Korean firearms. Of course. This may also mean that it is necessary to consume the strength of North Korea's capable combat forces.

Ordinarily. An army of unknown nations appeared around the royal city of its own. As an army that garrisons in the vicinity. In any case, it should also come out for interrogation and volleying. That's their duty.

The Jiaozhou battalion sent out this detachment can already see the city walls of Seoul. The Korean army stationed on the side of the road did see this rapidly advancing division.

The general of this Korean army stationed outside Seoul has a very terrifying title. Seoul garrisoned thousands of households. However, his courage is obviously not as big as his official title. After much hesitation, he sent a few officers over to inquire. Where did this army come from?

An unidentified army appeared on the edge of their own capital. As a defender of the capital, the officer did not immediately lead his troops to fight and block the attack. Instead, they will send people to inquire. It can be seen that this North Korea is already rotten to the roots.

This is the result of the so-called noble and lowly martial arts. North Korea has more thoroughly wielded the Ming Dynasty's style of emphasizing civil affairs over military force. That's why it's only in these last days that there are such jokes.

The North Korean military attaché was questioned with trepidation. Wang Hai led this detached division to answer their questions with firearms. The two military attaches were immediately knocked down. The others crawled back to their camp.

It really attacked Seoul and won the enemy. On the contrary, this North Korean soldier made a difficulty. What battles he and his men have fought there over the years. All of them were used as tenants to farm. How to go out and fight the enemy outside. The only thing that can be done is to set off a warning shot. Let's prepare for Seoul in advance!

The first horn cannon was released. The Jiaozhou battalion had already rushed into the battalion. Shandong's more than 1,000 people have troops. I don't want to have a few thousand people around to get the enemy.

The battle was so simple that the garrison of the regiment leading this partial division could not be believed. The battle began with a rush into the North Korean military camp. At the end of the day, he also rushed into the barracks. I saw the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion like a wolf and a tiger. The North Korean army and the man were smart enough to surrender quickly.

The 6th division had no intention of receiving the surrender. But it was also very troublesome for these 3,000 people to kill. It's just to dispel them all. Such a seed of soft eggs. I guess I didn't have the courage to steal it back. And so it was. These North Korean peasants ran faster than rabbits. Don't look back.

The sound of the cannon still alarmed the Seoul city defense army. (╰→ Since the enemy is coming. Closing the gates was the number one priority. Outside the city, this Shandong army was a little anxious at this time. Originally, such a rapid march was intended to take advantage of the chaos to enter the city. Now the gates are closed. With these lightly armed troops to equip. Trying to storm is unrealistic.

But. The gates were closed for an hour or so. The south gate was opened from inside the city. The reason is simple, of course. Pretending to be a Tartar soldier and horse, he got the elite of those Jiaozhou battalions. After learning that there were troops outside the city. Immediately it was all mobilized. Kill to the south gate. These North Korean city defense soldiers at the south gate didn't know what was going on. was killed by the "Manchu soldiers and horses".

Seoul. The inside should be combined with the outside. Easy to open!
