Chapter 455: Nothing Happens to Them!
"Go up to the army to plot, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city below." The tension was finalized, and the decision was made.
In the past two years, even Mutou, Chaolu and others, who did not know a single big character at first, have gradually become literate, and have learned a lot of classic military books, and they are no strangers to Zhang Li's words about his grandson.
Mr. Zhang has said more than once that even if he is as strong as "Mi Di", he is the world's policeman and beats all countries, and the top priority is "conspiracy and diplomacy", not a blind wave war.
Who is "Midi", Mr. Zhang doesn't explain, but he estimates which Western power it is, right? Why haven't you heard of it?
Siege warfare has always been a meat grinder that fills people's lives, and it is indeed necessary to avoid it as a last resort.
Now that Lord Zhang said this, he meant that the siege of the city was the last step to consider, so did the Tuanshan army watch the Korean state being conquered by the Tatars, or did it practice "internal strength" diligently and was indifferent?
Zhang Zhang stood up, walked to the wall of the hall, looked at the large map of Liaodong hanging there, and said slowly: "Now the front line of the confrontation between our regimental mountain army and the Tartars is the line of Haizhou and Liaoyang. ”
Zhang Zhang turned his head and said to everyone: "There is a way to come and not be rude!" The Tartars repeatedly bypassed the fortified city of Liaodong and entered the Ming Dynasty from Xuanfu, and they could get a huge harvest every time. My original intention was to directly attack Jianjuwei, that is, Hetuala, the old nest of the Tartars, from the Korean side, and I would definitely be able to shake the foundation of the Tartars' rule in one fell swoop! ”
The generals in the hall suddenly realized that they had bypassed Liaoyang City, the stronghold of the Tartars, and sent troops from the direction of North Korea to attack the Tartars' lair. What a trick to draw salary!
You know, whether it's Liaoyang or Shenyang. The occupation of the Tartars has only been more than ten years, and only the Acropolis of Najianzhou is Hetuala. It is the place where the Jurchens have lived for hundreds of generations. There were no strong city defenses there, and the difficulty of attacking the city was far less than attacking Liaoshen. If you can really capture Hetuara in one fell swoop, and then send troops from Haizhou Wei at that time, it will be a situation of east-west attack, and the newly established Qing State will be wiped out in an instant!
High, really high!
Looking at the admiring looks on the faces of the generals, Zhang Zhang bowed his head slightly, and gave an order: "Chen Zhengcao!" ”
"The last general!"
"The regimental landscape division immediately prepared and assembled all the troop carriers and warships in the middle and right of Ningyuan. Waiting to transport the army to fight in Korea! ”
"The last general commands!" Chen Zhengcao's face was solemn and he promised loudly. The Tuanshan Water Division under his control has a higher and higher status in the Tuanshan Army, after all, the Liaodong and Shandong controlled by the Tuanshan Army are now bordering the sea.
Next, Zhang Zhang issued a military order to Gao Yuanliang, and a total of 40,000 troops were sent to fight in North Korea, and the army immediately assembled in Ningyuan.
After a meal, the generals of each regiment and the mountain army had their own tasks, and even the cavalry team of Chaolu had to go out with the army. Obviously, Lord Zhang is preparing for an attack on Jiannu's lair.
……
In the Ming Dynasty, and even for most of the rest of the future, Seoul was not called Seoul, but Seoul. I don't know what happened in 2005. Did the stick feel that this "Chinese" character made them unhappy or some other reason, anyway, they forcibly changed the name set by the ancestor to the English reading.
The official name of Seoul was formed during the Ming Dynasty, a little earlier. Seoul is called Hanyang. Actually, whether it's Seoul or Hanyang. The name comes from a river, the Han River. Hanyang means "the sun of Han water", and Seoul means "city next to the Han River".
The Joseon Kingdom is now known as the Yi Dynasty. The period of establishment is probably in the last years of Zhu Yuanzhang Hongwu of Ming Taizu. At the beginning of his Joseon Kingdom, the capital was Kaesong, but just a few years later the capital was moved to Seoul, which has been the capital of the Joseon Kingdom ever since.
The Qing army marched south to the Yalu River, occupied Uiju, Pyongyang, and Kaesong, and then advanced to the north bank of the Han River.
I have to admit that the combat strength of the Korean army is 0.1, but the naval division is very different. During the Wanli period, when the Korean and Ming allied forces fought against the Japanese invaders, Li Rusong, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty on land, beat the Japanese army, and on the naval division, it was Li Sunsin of Korea who defeated the Japanese naval division.
After Yi Sunsin, the famous commander of the Korean navy, the sailors that the Joseon state was proud of gradually declined. After leasing some of the Zheng family's warships, Kong Youde's fleet fought a series of fierce battles with the Korean naval division in the vicinity of Ximao Island at the mouth of the Han River, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. After repeated naval battles, North Korea finally lost its sea supremacy and allowed Kong Youde's troop transport to sail into the Han River.
The Qing army was able to cross the river by boat and soon conquered Seoul.
……
The blue sea blew the sea breeze, and after a long day of sailing, the fleet of the Tuanshan Army arrived at the port of Gunsan.
When Zhang Zhang got off the ship, the Korean civil and military officials in the entire Gunsan Port were all prostrate on the ground to welcome the reinforcements from the "**** Shangguo".
Gunsan Port is located in the southern part of Joseon, roughly equivalent to the southwestern part of later Korea, and now that Seoul has been lost, Zhang Li had to change the location of the landing. Originally, according to Zhang Li's plan, the port of Incheon, where the US troops landed in the Korean War, was the best choice, because Incheon was a good port and was very close to Seoul, and after the Tuansan Army landed, it could be deployed along the Han River.
Unfortunately, Seoul fell so quickly, and the port of Incheon also fell into the hands of the Qing army - there was no way, the landing place could only go further south, so the port of Gunsan in the southwest of Korea became the only option.
Fortunately, the Qing army was plundering Seoul at the moment, and it did not immediately march south for a while, giving the Tuanshan army this rare opportunity.
It took four hours for the 40,000 men and horses of the Tuanshan Army to reach the port of Gunsan and set up a large camp outside the city. Zhang Zhang only instructed the North Korean people to prepare food and grass, and then sent most of them away, leaving only some interpreters for communication.
Huang Taiji has fought all his life, and what he is best at is to buy out the traitor, and Zhang Zhang has no doubt at all that there will be Manchu internal response among these civil and military ministers of the Korean state.
To fight in Korea, it is enough to rely only on the Tuanshan army. There is a saying in later generations that if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate......
It's okay to let the Koreans be in charge of the supply of grain and grass, and to fight? Nothing to do with them!
This night, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp of the Tuanshan Army, Zhang Zhang stood with his hands in his hands, and his mood could not be calm for a long time.
It is not that the Ming Dynasty did not help North Korea fight, and in the Wanli period, it was "resisting Japan and aiding Korea" - it was only a few decades, and the Japanese were gone, but the Korean country was targeted by the more ferocious Jiannu, which was really a sad country.
