Chapter 536: Three Thousand Miles of Broken Rivers and Mountains
After an unforgettable so-called bloody battle, Li Liangjunchen was the rest of his life, and finally had to rely on the help of the Ming reinforcements, although it was a small handful of more than 200 people, but it saved the lives of the people of Hanyang Mancheng.

The most important thing is that the Korean royal family did not fall into the hands of Hulu, which saved the face of all Koreans, is there anything more important than this?
If Li Kun and others were captured by Hu Lu, in the eyes of the Koreans, compared to the shame of Jingkang hundreds of years ago in the Central Plains, the writing can make the Koreans ashamed for a thousand years, and the history books of later generations do not know how to write down a group of monarchs and ministers, it is really a thousand years of stench.
Li Liang is still a good person, and he doesn't forget to dig wells, he rushed from Xicheng to Beicheng immediately after Jiannu retreated, and he had to thank Zhao Lie in person no matter what.
"Thank you to the great tomorrow, thank you to General Zhao for saving the people of Hanyang Mancheng, and please accept the worship of the lonely king."
Li Liang saw Zhao Lie this time, that he was grateful, of course, at this time he was most grateful to the great tomorrow, although Zhao Lie was a general who rushed to help, and this battle was also commanded by Zhao Lie.
But there is no great tomorrow, can he Zhao Lie come to help, although he was not called, it was also for the Ming Dynasty, and it was not to support North Korea to resist slaves.
"So that the king knows that now that the Ming people are in turmoil, coupled with the attack of Jiannu, the imperial court no longer has the financial resources to aid North Korea again,"
Han Jian was extremely hesitant about Li Liang's vigorous mention of the Son of Heaven, and he had already scolded this so-called king of Joseon in his heart, he was so grateful that he couldn't find the right master, what else could he do,
"This time my lord sent troops without an edict, the king must know the crime of sending troops without an edict, the reason why my lord did this is because North Korea has always been a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty cannot let North Korea be bullied by Jiannu."
The meaning of Han Jian's words is very clear, you wait for the monarch and the ministers to figure out that it was the Lord of my family who sent troops without authorization this time, and the court and the Son of Heaven will be punished later.
"The king of my family and my courtiers are very grateful to Lord Zhao, without Lord Zhao and the Denglai army, Hanyang will not be guaranteed, and the king of my family will be grateful." Jin Liu's hearing the song knew the elegance of the song, and immediately changed the object of gratitude.
Zhao Lie looked at Han Jian after hearing this, and Han Jianli immediately understood.
"Since Lord Jin has talked about this matter, after Jiannu retires, let's talk about the promotion fee and salary of the Denglai Army this time, and Lord Jin will not regret it then." Han Jian said with a smile.
"It should be, it should be, the Denglai army has traveled thousands of miles to help, preserving the kindness of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, and the king of my family will definitely be rewarded." Having said that, Jin Liu's heart palpitated when he looked at Han Jian's white teeth that were exposed, and he estimated that the rough man opposite him wanted the lion to open his mouth.
This topic has come to an end, after all, Jiannu has not yet retired from the army, and it is a bit early to say this, but the foreshadowing is laid here.
The Qing army all returned to the camp, and also discharged manpower to escort back those Koreans who were scattered in the wilderness.
"Your Majesty, is it better for our army to withdraw from the army, after all, as long as Zhao Lie's troops enter the fortified city, it will not be easy for our army to capture, and I am afraid of heavy losses."
Dorgon stepped forward.
This time, the Qing army suffered a lot of losses, more than 200 people were killed in the battle, and hundreds of people were wounded, but the reason why the battle losses were so small was because the Koreans were in front, and now there are nearly 20,000 Korean corpses all over the city, without them, the Qing army would not have thousands of people to fill up.
Therefore, Dolgon was absolutely unwilling to break the fortified city defended by the captive army, and even if he did, it would be worth the loss.
"You can't withdraw the army like this, the emperor's southern expedition to Korea is to force North Korea to surrender, and now the momentum is like a broken bamboo army surrounding Hanyang, and the king of Korea is close at hand, how can he withdraw the army." Hauge was very dissatisfied, he was really unwilling.
Along the way, the Qing army was smooth, and the Korean army encountered was simply vulnerable, and it can be said that the damage was slight, which was much smoother than the last battle of Dingmao.
This shows that the military strength of the Qing army has increased greatly, while the Korean army is still the scum of combat strength as always, and the Qing army has achieved the advantage of crushing, and it can be said that the situation is very good.
But it was Zhao Lie who blocked the advance of the army in Hanyang, which was the biggest scourge of the Qing Dynasty, and this bastard was indispensable everywhere, and Haoge was of course extremely depressed.
"If you don't withdraw the army, will you attack the fortification, and tens of thousands of corpses under the city will lie there, will you let my Qing armor soldiers die in vain under the city of Hanyang." Dolgon looked down on Hauge very much, he thought that Hauge was brave and unstrategic, and he had never been able to judge the situation, but he was just a nobleman.
"Why can't you besiege the city, although there is not much grain and straw nearby, but you can send more cavalry to the east and south to grab some grain and grass, besiege the city for two months, so many people in Hanyang City are the first to be unable to stand up to them, and then Zhao Lie's troops will take the initiative to go out of the city to fight."
Hauge retorted.
"The following Niu Lu has already reported, before the arrival of our army, the North Korean army dispatched a large number of men and horses to collect grain from a radius of 100 miles, it is said that the amount is very much, there is no problem in holding on for a few months, how to besiege the city, I am afraid that in the end, I am afraid that I will wait for the first time without grain and grass."
Dolgon argues with reason, he knows Hauge's weaknesses well, and is too stubborn to listen to and not advise.
Duoduo watched the quarrel between the two very disapprovingly, he just listened, although he didn't have so much careful thought, but he knew that in the end, the emperor had to make a final decision.
"Okay, don't argue, rest for a few days, and then send people to collect grain and grass and Koreans, since you can't capture Hanyang, it's good to gather more Koreans to go back to Liaodong to open up wasteland."
Huang Taiji interrupted. The quarrel between the two.
"As for Zhao Lie, since I can't help him for a while, then I have another idea, and I will always take his life."
"Could the emperor say that it is useful to let the great emperor and Zhao Lie kill each other." Dorgon asked.
Huang Taiji was in his heart, this old fourteen is a character, he just made a start, Dolgon has already guessed the end, Haug is probably not this person's opponent, not to mention that there are Azig and Duoduo to help Dolgon.
"That's right, since Zhao Lie is always hiding in the city and doesn't dare to fight with my army, that is the old way to deal with Yuan Chenghuan and Xiong, let them take it by themselves, and I only need to light the fire first."
Huang Taiji nodded, Zhao Lie was too much of a threat to the Qing Dynasty, he was simply sent by God to fight against the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji's biggest thought now is that no matter what method he uses, as long as he can get rid of Zhao Lie.
"It's better to kill this Nikan Cool." Duoduo shook his head, reluctantly.
Huang Taiji looked at Duoduo and smiled, "Old Fifteen, you use your head more, don't know the swords and guns in your hands." ”
For Duoduo's somewhat unscrupulous character, Huang Taiji likes it very much, he is a seedling of a fierce general, there are really not many such people among the young people who love Xinjueluo, and most of the older generation is withering.
Moreover, Dordor did not have a large number of cities, and unlike Dorgon, he was almost no threat to the throne.
Since Huang Taiji made a decision, then the others could only obey, so in the next half month, the Jiannu Iron Cavalry turned North Korea's Gyeonggi Province upside down, burning, killing and looting everything, and Gyeonggi Province, which was still stable and rich in North Korea, became a hellish existence.
Money and food were robbed, young men and women were plundered, the old and weak were killed or left to fend for themselves, and the central and northern parts of Korea were in full flames.
The reinforcements from Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province were defeated by the attack of thousands of Kiennu's iron cavalry, and thousands of Korean troops were either killed or surrendered, and Duoduo, who was in charge of leading the army, was in the limelight.
The Korean monarchs and ministers were trapped in the city, and they could only watch the Jiannu wreak havoc on the Korean land without any recourse, and they could only feel incomparable humiliation and anger in their hearts.
Other than that, there is nothing they can do.
It wasn't until 20 days later that the Jiannu army escorted more than 100,000 young men and women and hundreds of carts of money and grain to start their journey back north.
This trip the Qing army captured more than 200,000 Korean young people, which was very helpful to solve the situation of the great shortage of manpower in Liaodong, and also looted more than 100,000 taels of silver, which was the income of the Qing court, in fact, the soldiers hid more silver taels than this.
These are a lucrative looting of the Great Liquidation, although it cannot be compared with the attack on the Ming Dynasty, but in a small country like North Korea, these benefits are a lot.
However, Huang Taiji forced North Korea to surrender and abandoned the Ming Dynasty and turned to the Qing Dynasty, which means that the North Korea behind the Qing Dynasty was still disconnected from the Ming Dynasty, which was a hidden danger.
It's not that the weak soldiers of North Korea can do anything to threaten the flank of the Qing Dynasty, but that North Korea is still on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a big hidden danger to allow the Ming soldiers to enter the country from there to attack southeast Liao.
Especially now that Zhao Lie's department is in Denglai, Zhao Lie is a dishonest person, and he can't say when he will sneak attack Daqing.
Now that Denglai has fallen into the hands of Zhao Lie, the threat to the Qing Dynasty will be doubled, which is by no means what the Qing Dynasty wants to see, but now there is no way, it is a good thing for Zhao Lie in North Korea, so he can only slowly figure it out.
Jiannu withdrew from North Korea in half a month, leaving the Korean monarchs and ministers and the people everywhere, hundreds of thousands of young and strong people are hundreds of thousands of households destroyed, which will greatly affect the cultivation of millions of acres of land, not counting the looted money and grain, in addition to more than 100,000 women, children, old and weak who are waiting to be fed.
The only good news is that most of the gentry families near Gyeonggi Province have disappeared, and without him, they will either resist and be exterminated, or they will all be captured and go north to the Qing Dynasty.
This also confirms what Zhao Lie said, for Zhao Lie is now the Korean monarch and minister, Zhao Lie's words are confirmed one by one, it can be seen that Hu Lu is extremely clear about what he has done, and he is a battle-hardened general.
But it also gave the Korean monarchs and ministers a headache, without him, Zhao Lie's department is now resting in Hanyang, and he is very leisurely, but he does not mention the matter of returning to China. (To be continued.) )
