Chapter 654: The New Korean Army
Compared with Liaodong, which was defended by the Tiger and Leopard Army, Huang Taiji, who was full of fear of the Tiger and Leopard Army, unsurprisingly put the target of looting on North Korea, which had just experienced the war......
Hundreds of thousands of catties of sea salt had just been divided, and after a thousand years, the elite of the Kim Zhenghuang flag left the base camp and rushed to North Korea.
At this moment, the king of North Korea, Im Jo, has been back in Pyongyang for a month.
However, because of the sacking of the whole of Pyongyang by the Haw Par Army, coupled with the huge compensation that the North Korean state has suffered.
For a month, Ren Zu was quelling dissatisfaction from all sides of North Korea, and he did not have the time, experience, and financial resources to form the new Korean army he dreamed of.
When Ren Zu finally calmed down North Korea and thought about forming a new army.
A piece of news once again disrupted Ren Zu's plan.
After a thousand years, the Jin Tatar iron cavalry, the lone army went deep into Korea, and after plundering a large amount of salt and finances in Korea, they were rapidly retreating to the Yalu River, withdrawing from North Korea and returning to Houjin......
In Ren Zu's eyes, the most critical and only reason why the Korean state has become like this in just over a year is that the North Korean army rashly sent troops to Liaodong to attack the tiger and leopard army......
And the reason why he sent troops to Liaodong was to provoke this ↘ opponent who he couldn't afford to provoke. The reason is the instigation of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Emperor Taiji.
Therefore, Ren Zu at this moment, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Houjin Tartar, is full of hatred.
And now, the Houjin Tartars, whom he hated to the core, dared to go deep into North Korea alone and loot in North Korea, leaving North Korea full of scars. It becomes more painful......
In the face of this news. The angry King of the Motherland. The first reaction was to wipe out this lone army of Houjin Tartars who had penetrated deep into North Korea in North Korea in order to vent the anger in his heart.
As a result, the remaining army in the hands of King Ren Zu of the Cousin was like a pack of wolves that smelled fish, and pounced mightily on this Tartar.
However, in the absence of firearms. How could an infantry armed with only cold weapons be the opponent of the elite iron cavalry of the post-Jinzheng Yellow Banner.
After losing more than 2,000 people in a row, the Korean army, which suffered heavy losses, still failed to stop the retreat of the Houjin Iron Cavalry. I can only watch the Houjin Tartars, with the finances and Haiyan that originally belonged to North Korea, withdraw from Houjin with great force.
"Hateful...... Losing so many people, or let them run...... Could it be that the combat power of the Houjin Tartar is already strong enough to be comparable to that of the Tiger and Leopard Army......" After receiving the battle report from the front, Ren Zu's clenched fist because of anger smashed directly on the table in front of him. Then. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and scolded.
As for the North Korean civil and military officials standing in the main hall, they also lowered their heads in the face of this news. Morale was low......
At this moment, Colonel Chen Ming, who was in North Korea with a musket battalion, suddenly stood up and reminded: "Your Excellency, my lords, I will be an officer of the Haw Par Army, and I am not qualified to speak here. However, Ben really couldn't help but say a few words, please allow the king to ......"
For this regiment commander from the Haw Par Army, Ren Zu still values it very much.
Otherwise, Ren Zu would not have allowed the other party to attend the DPRK meeting and contact some important things that only the top North Korean leaders could know.
Therefore, as soon as Chen Ming's words were finished, Ren Zu spoke: "General Chen, if you have anything to say, just say it...... Let's just listen to General Chen's thoughts and see if General Chen has any other ideas......"
After getting Ren Zu's affirmation, Chen Ming said without hesitation: "Since this is the case, Ben Jiang said, if there is anything offended, I hope you will forgive me, after all, Ben Jiang is also for the ...... of North Korea."
"What I'm going to say is that instead of discussing something that doesn't make any sense here, you should think more about how to deal with the next raid of the Golden Tartars...... Do you think that the Houjin Tartars, who have just tasted the sweetness in North Korea, will give up this kind of shortcuts that have almost no effort......"
"As Ben expected, in five days at the latest, a new Houjin Iron Cavalry will once again enter North Korea and plunder the territory of North Korea...... Therefore, Ben will remind everyone to be prepared and not to be in a hurry again......"
Chen Ming's words, though, hit them in the face like a loud slap, making them red.
However, after Chen Ming finished speaking, no one got angry......
Because, everyone's attention was attracted by Chen Ming's last few words.
In the small hall, after a short silence, an old general couldn't help but stand up and say......
"Your Majesty, there is nothing to be afraid of, the old minister is to fight for his own life, and he will also destroy the Tartars who dare to enter Korea...... Let them know that North Korea is not a country where they can come and go whenever they want......"
As soon as the old general's words fell, a minister opened his mouth to retort......
"No, you can't fight hard...... In this battle to intercept 1,000 Tartars, we only destroyed more than 200 Tartars, and we paid more than 2,000 casualties...... If we fight hard and wipe them all out, how much do you think our losses will be......"
"Let's not forget that our total strength is less than 25,000 at full strength. Not only that, but to the south, there were more than 10,000 Japanese who were watching us with fierce eyes. If we suffer heavy losses in the battle against the Houjin Tatars, Lao Chen can say with certainty that the Japanese who occupy south Korea will attack Pyongyang again......"
"When the time comes, North Korea, which has just recovered its stability, will once again be in a desperate situation......
"Then we will watch the Houjin Tartars burn and loot in our North Korea...... the old general asked retorted with an unwilling face.
However, what everyone can do about this issue is to remain silent......
At this time, Chen Ming stood up again......
Under the simultaneous gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, he said confidently......
"Your Majesty, and your lordship...... If you believe that Ben and Ben will have 500 musketeers under his command, as long as there are no more than 2,000 Tartars sent this time, you can hand them all over to Ben and let Ben go and destroy them......"
Ren Zu's eyes lit up, and he asked with an incredulous expression: "Eat two thousand iron horsemen with five hundred musketeers...... General Chen, are you sure you're not wrong......"
Chen Ming didn't think about it, so he opened his mouth and affirmed......
"As long as the terrain is right, there is no problem...... You must know that in the past few years, even if there are not 50,000 Tartars who have died in the hands of our Tiger and Leopard Army, there are almost 30,000 or 40,000, and there is no problem at all in eating them...... Just ......"
"Just what...... As long as the conditions are not excessive...... I will definitely promise......" Facing Chen Ming's self-confidence, Ren Zu subconsciously asked as if he had grasped a life-saving straw......
Chen Ming did not hesitate and said directly......
"Two requirements...... First, after destroying the Tartars, the king must give 50,000 taels of silver as a reward to the musketeers under the command of the general. Second, after taking the Tartars, the king must immediately form a new army ......" (to be continued......
