"Stand upright!" With a command, all the officers straightened up, clenched their right hands into a fist, and pressed them to their chests. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Seeing his commander pass in front of his eyes, every officer sang and said in a loud voice.

Zhang Jianjun walked in front of every officer, wearing the enviable lieutenant general's uniform, brand new and ironed to be extraordinarily straight.

The forty-year-old lieutenant general of the Ming Empire, a few years ago, was just a small battalion commander, all of this seemed to be a dream, so that Zhang Jianjun had no sense of reality.

However, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire did promote his military rank, and after more than a year, he once again raised his military rank by a large block.

This is not the kind of false title that relies on the strength of the family, but the real commander of the group army, with the rank of lieutenant general!

Unlike those who are also lieutenant generals and have almost no soldiers in their hands, he is a real powerful general with 300,000 elite soldiers under his command!

According to Wang Futong's idea back then, that is, this lieutenant general gave a real good position that was not worth changing to a false general!

Moreover, Zhang Jianjun has just led a large army to capture Pyongyang, which is almost the occupation of half of the Korean Peninsula! He and Yang Zizhen can be said to be the two most powerful people on the Korean Peninsula.

"Where have the troops marched south?" When he walked to his position and sat down, the first thing Zhang Jianjun did was to ask where his troops had attacked.

Mitsui's death was so sudden that the entire Japanese empire did not react to his death. The battle of Pyongyang ended abruptly within ten days, which made the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula lose its barrier at once.

The 1st Army took the opportunity to move south, and now it has captured Shariwon, and is making a fierce attack on the area around Haizhou. And the Japanese troops along the way did not put up decent resistance at all, and they retreated when they heard the wind and fled completely.

On January 18, Zhang Jianjun's vanguard had already surrounded Kaesong, and the speed of the attack was almost too fast for the Japanese defenders to collapse.

In fact, the Japanese defenders had collapsed, after all, most of their elite troops had been consumed in the previous battles.

The rest of the Japanese army did not have any fighters at all, and over time, the Japanese army almost became sheep driven south by the troops of the Ming Empire.

The sheep did not resist at all, and most of them were eager to get out of here and flee back to their homeland in mainland Japan.

The so-called reclamation inhabitants who immigrated to the Korean Peninsula by Japan have now become street rats and have been almost captured by the locals and the troops of the Ming Empire.

The Japanese immigrants who used to ride on the heads of the locals as a prestige are now the main targets of the liquidation of the locals and the Ming Empire's army, and these inhabitants are now miserable in the midst of shouting and beating.

Of course, the local aborigines of Korea do not know yet, but in fact they have been sold, and they were sold to the capitalists by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire.

The days that await them are not beautiful, but just as dark - this is the punishment, this is the punishment for them to take advantage of the Liaodong rebellion and get out of the Ming Empire!

"Report to the General! The forward tank armored units are already about to attack Kaesong, and the Japanese army has no ability to resist at all, and in a few days we will be able to fight to Seoul! An officer reported.

Because Japan surrendered too quickly, half of the destroyed Nanpu port could be fully utilized, which also made the supply logistics of the Ming Empire very sufficient, and the speed of the southward attack was faster.

On the other side, Yang Zizhen, commanding his 2nd Army, had already moved south along another road, and had now reached the vicinity of Seorak Mountain.

This speed of attack has made it a luxury for Japan to keep half of the Korean Peninsula. Jiro Yamaguchi led his men and fled all the way to Seoul before he had time to rest when he heard the news that the army of the Ming Empire was rapidly moving south.

So at this time, they felt that even Seoul was not safe, so they could only lead the barely assembled army and continue to retreat south.

Along the way, the reinforcements were gathered, and the defeated soldiers - Jiro Yamaguchi was pleasantly surprised to find that he had more and more Japanese troops in his hands.

It's a pity that most of these armies only have light weapons and equipment, and they can't fight against the armored forces of the Ming Empire at all, so Yamaguchi Jiro has no intention of counterattacking, so he takes these people all the way south.

This time, Yamaguchi Jiro had no illusions, and he ordered the cavalry and other troops to hurry south, and the infantry almost did not rest, and moved south at the speed of a rout.

At this point in the war, the overall situation of the Korean Peninsula has been decided, Japan's defeat has become a foregone conclusion, and the only change now is how badly Japan will lose.

If the Japanese troops could have withdrawn to the mainland in large numbers, then this fiasco would have not been defeated; If the Ming Empire blocked a large number of Japanese troops and annihilated these living forces, Japan's losses would be unbearable.

Therefore, in the midst of the chaos, the Japanese army retreated rapidly to the south, and there was no intention of even a little counterattack, because everyone saw very clearly that the troops who went to the south first had the opportunity to get on the ship and leave first!

With such an attitude, how could any Japanese soldier be willing to stay and cut off for the entire retreating army and civilians? It can only be a rush and go first.

As a result, the entire retreat was disorganized - in fact, when Mitsui Takanomiya was killed in Pyongyang, and finally the command of the Korean Peninsula was handed over to the Japanese headquarters to the commander of the coastal defense, Kumamoto Ding, the whole chain of command was thrown into disarray.

You must know that when Mitsui Takanomiya died, he was buried with almost the entire command system of the Korean Peninsula, and he originally wanted to use this to buy more than ten days to allow the troops in the south to retreat calmly.

But he miscalculated, and his miscalculation directly led to the subsequent transfers all falling into passivity. This is indeed in line with the fact that after the stalemate stage, Japan has no confidence to compete with the Ming Empire.

What it relied on was nothing more than the chaos within the Ming Empire and the delay in the changes in the complex and mutually restrictive neighboring countries and regions.

Now because of the beginning of the war, the situation in the vicinity has become clearer, and the Ming Empire has less constraints, and Japan is not an opponent at all when facing the Ming Empire.
