Chapter 191: Petition for Nomination

Joseon Royal Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Feng came, and the momentum was huge, the king of North Korea immediately knew, knowing that Zhang Feng was coming, the king of North Korea did not come to meet Zhang Feng for the first time, but anxiously convened several confidant ministers to discuss the matter, these confidant ministers have civil ministers, and there are also military generals.

When the king of Joseon told him about the situation, these confidants and ministers looked solemn and worried, these people never imagined that Jang Feng would come so quickly, and bring so many people over, although he did not go to the port of Incheon, but he had already heard that Zhang Feng's ships were parked all over the port of Incheon and occupied the entire Incheon bay.

Last time, Zhang Feng directly entered the Korean palace with 5,000 strong troops and forced the North Korean side to sign the Inchon Treaty, this time, I heard that Zhang Feng brought 10,000 thousands of people.

In the eyes of the king of Korea, if the Japanese side sends 50,000 troops and mobilizes tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, then there is no need to be afraid of Zhang Feng's more than 10,000 people.

In the eyes of the king of Joseon, Zhang Feng's group of soldiers was powerful, but after all, the number was small, 10,000 thousands, and they would definitely not be able to defeat the nearly 100,000 troops of himself and the Japanese side combined.

However, the Japanese did not come, and Zhang Feng had already arrived at the port of Incheon with his army.

The matter was very important, and a minister immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter has come to this point and has to fight, we will strike preemptively, launch an attack first, and in addition, quickly send an envoy to contact the Japanese side and ask the Japanese side to send troops as soon as possible." ”

Immediately, a military general said: "Japan will definitely not be able to count on it, it will be too late in time, everything can only rely on ourselves, and the plan for today is to discuss and formulate a plan as soon as possible to defeat Zhang Feng's more than 10,000 people as soon as possible." ”

There are also ministers who are puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, someone must have leaked secrets, otherwise, Zhang Feng would not have come so quickly, there must be a traitor." ”

These ministers are convinced of this, because they think that the matter is very secret, and someone must have told Zhang Feng, who is this person?

The king of North Korea also thought about it for a long time, but he never thought that this person was Li Gaosheng, who usually seemed to have no enterprising ambition, and waited for death.

"The traitor must hurry up and find out." The king of North Korea said fiercely, but the king of North Korea also knew that the most important thing now was to deal with Zhang Feng.

The king of Joseon, along with a large group of confidants, conspired, consulted and discussed plans together to prepare against Zhang Feng.

…………

Zhang Feng sent someone to inform Li Gaosheng, and sure enough, in the afternoon, Li Gaosheng only took a few entourages and rode fast horses to Incheon Port quietly, and under the leadership of several soldiers, he entered the Incheon military base and met Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng saw Li Gaosheng for the first time and glanced at this person, who looked harmless to humans and animals, and didn't think about it, but he was a ruthless character with great ambitions.

Zhang Feng thought in his heart, this is a hero, it is estimated that he has some ability and means, as long as he is loyal to himself and loyal to himself, he will not mind helping him to ascend the throne and making him the new king of North Korea and his spokesman in North Korea.

"Villain Li Gaosheng, knock to see the chief soldier!"

Li Gaosheng's posture is very low, he calls himself a "villain", and as soon as he comes in, he kneels and worships, Zhang Feng is a little more satisfied, and it can be seen that this Li Gaosheng puts himself in a correct position.

Zhang Feng said slowly: "Get up, I heard that you have provided us with a lot of information, the current king of Korea is secretly with the Japanese, and is preparing to be unfavorable to our garrisons in Incheon and Busan, but is there such a thing?" ”

Li Gaosheng hurriedly said: "Lord General Soldier, this matter is true, the evidence is conclusive, Li Xi is respectful and respectful to Lord General Soldier on the surface, but in fact, he has been planning for a long time, and he has been planning to get rid of the control of Lord General Soldier and drive all your soldiers out of North Korea......

Li Gaosheng explained in detail some of the information he had, and at the same time, he could also see Li Gaosheng's ambitions, he had good ambitions, such a person was more useful, he was more able to control North Korea, and he was his most qualified spokesman in North Korea.

Zhang Feng said: "Li Gaosheng, since this is the case, then this Li Xi is no longer suitable to be the king of Joseon, in this way, I will hand over the Korean army to you to command, and you will denounce Li Xi, do you dare?" ”

Li Gaosheng naturally understood that this was to kill Li Xi himself, which was equivalent to voting for his name and showing his loyalty to Zhang Feng, and if Li Gaosheng dared to hesitate a little, Zhang Feng might change his mind and support other forces to become his spokesman in North Korea.

Who knew that Li Gaosheng was immediately happy, all along, Li Gaosheng worked hard to operate, secretly cultivated some forces, but there has been no military power, no army, now Zhang Feng handed over the newly formed Korean army to his command, Li Gaosheng immediately said confidently.

"Lord Commander, don't worry, I will definitely lead my troops into the palace and capture Li Xi alive."

Li Gaosheng was very clear about the Korean army in Incheon, and there were more than 3,000 people in this Korean army, all of whom were equipped with muskets, and Li Gaosheng knew more about the power of muskets, so he was full of confidence and promised to lead his troops into the Korean palace.

Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction, "You take the Korean army to take the lead, I will send Master Kong to lead the troops to cooperate, and that Li Xi will be killed, executed on the spot, no need to be captured alive." ”

For disobedient people, Zhang Feng has never been merciful and soft-hearted, and will kill him immediately, which also warns Li Gaosheng and lets Li Gaosheng know that this is the fate of disobedient people, if you don't listen to me in the future, it will also end like this.

Li Gaosheng's heart tightened, and he secretly thought in his heart that he must be loyal in the future, otherwise, he would end up like Li Xi.

Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Go, lead the Korean army and enter the palace." ”

"Yes!"

Excited and happy, Lee Go-sang walked away and led the Korean army from Incheon, and soon after, on the official road from Inchon to Seoul, a long procession was marching.

The people in this team, all in gray cloth armor and equipped with front-loading smoothbore flintlock pistols, were marching along the official road, and in the middle of the team was Li Gaosheng riding a tall horse.

Looking at this team, Li Gaosheng was full of confidence, and at the same time thought in his heart, when he sat on the throne of the king in the future, he would definitely ask General Zhang to form a few more such legions.

In the early morning of the next day, on the same official road, a larger team was marching, and everyone in this team was wearing a green military uniform, wearing a steel helmet, with a marching quilt on their backs, and all of them were equipped with muskets.

If you look closely, some of the people in this team are equipped with front-loading rifled guns, and some are equipped with new-style rear-loading guns, which are the soldiers of the First Infantry Division.

Kong Qingjie, commander of the First Infantry Division, said with slight concern: "Commander-in-chief, according to intelligence, the Korean king has hoarded 30,000 or 40,000 troops in the Seoul area, and Li Gaosheng leads more than 3,000 people, and it is still the Korean army, I don't know if I can open up the situation." ”

Zhang Feng said: "Master Kong, if this Li Gaosheng can't do it, isn't there still us, in addition, people will die in battle, let the Korean Legion go first, let them take the lead, this can greatly reduce our casualties, if the North Korean Legion can't do it, our soldiers will go again." ”

Knowing what Zhang Feng meant, Kong Qingjie became happy, "Commander-in-chief, you are so wise. ”

The team marched along the official road and marched towards Seoul, at noon, Zhang Feng and the others were about to arrive in Seoul, at this moment, a dense burst of gunfire could be heard from the direction of Seoul, and the Korean army led by Li Gaosheng arrived on the outskirts of Seoul this morning, and the defenders of Seoul were fighting.

"Let's go up the hill and have a look."

Next to the official road, there is a mountain of more than 100 meters, condescending, you can see far away, Zhang Feng took everyone to climb the mountain, picked up the monoculars, just to see the battle situation ahead.

A few miles ahead, it was an open field, flat and vast, and it could be seen that the two warring sides had fought for several rounds, and many corpses could be faintly seen on the ground.

The Korean army used a three-stage shooting method, with gunfire one after another, and many of the defenders of Seoul were attacking, and it is estimated that such an attack has been launched many times, and it is estimated that each time it has failed.

More than 3,000 people, 1,000 muskets fired each time, one after another, those attacking Seoul defenders died a lot, however, the Korean army also suffered casualties, no, many Seoul defenders rushed at close range, and then used strong bows to start shooting.

A large number of arrows only shot diagonally from the air, and many of the Korean legions screamed, but the formation was still not chaotic, and the three-stage shooting was maintained, and the archers who came close to shoot were killed and wounded.

"Commander-in-chief, you see, the performance of the Korean Army is not bad, although there are casualties, but more killings."

Zhang Feng nodded, "Overall, it basically exerted the power of the front-loading smoothbore gun, and it can be regarded as a good fight, Master Kong, your people can go up." ”

Extrapolating from the time, the Korean army should have engaged the defenders of Seoul for more than an hour, killing about 3 or 5,000 enemies, and suffering nearly one-third of its own casualties.

It is true that the first infantry division is a trump card, but it has just been newly formed, and it is not yet full, this is a rare actual combat exercise after the new formation, and with the purpose of training, Zhang Feng ordered the first infantry division to press up.

Kong Qingjie immediately happily went to convey the order, and soon, all the personnel of the First Infantry Division, everyone began to run forward, running towards the battlefield ahead.

on the battlefield.

Li Gaosheng was happy and worried, and he was glad that this newly formed Korean army was really powerful, and in the face of an enemy several times his size, it actually killed thousands of enemies and suffered only hundreds of casualties of its own.

The concern is that the troops, which are more than three thousand people, have now lost hundreds, and the enemy seems to be growing more and more, and apparently a large number of enemies have been thrown into the battlefield.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

A burst of dense gunfire rang out again, Li Gao was startled, and hurriedly looked forward, only to see a large number of Seoul defenders pressing up again, this time more numerous, dense, black pressed a large area, at least thousands.

It's dangerous!
