However, when Abatai wanted to continue his army to the west, he suddenly heard that the Tumut tribe had signed an alliance under the city, and Pegasus had returned to the pass with the captives and captures. As a result, Abatai also led a large army to Hohhot, where he first re-established the Manchu rule over the Tumut tribe. But in this way, Abatai's troops will not be in vain, not to mention the huge losses caused to the Mongolian tribes by the expedition of Pegasus Town.

And this expedition to Pegasus Town was later called the First Mongol Campaign. In this expedition, coupled with non-combat attrition such as illness, the casualties in Pegasus Town were less than 100, which can be described as a brilliant result.

More importantly, a new tribe was established under the administration of the Bhuurcha. And when Pegasus Town entered the customs, this tribe was temporarily placed on the periphery of the Great Wall in Datong. And this new Mongolian tribe dominated by Wu Shigong is also the beginning of the reshuffle of Mongolian tribes on the steppe, and it is also the beginning of the expansion of the power of the Great Ping Dynasty to the Mongolian steppe to the north.

After Abatai's Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces came to Hohhot, he was angry, and he wanted to go south and attack this new Mongol tribe outside the Great Wall of Datong, so as to retaliate for the exit of the Daping army. But at this time, Dolgon in Liaodong sent an urgent order: Abatai should quickly return with the army, because the situation in Liaodong has changed dramatically at this time.

But that's another story. Let's first talk about another expeditionary army of the Daping Army at the same time as Pegasus Town set out on the expedition!

On March 17 of the first year of Qiongyuan, on the surface of the Bohai Sea.

Seeing that the captains of the ships who had been recruited were no longer sailing, they all placed water wine and pigs' heads on the bows. Burning incense and kowtowing to the sea and praying, Huang Ding was angry. He scolded: "What are these turtle grandsons doing? ”

And a boatman beside Huang Ding's face was also pale, and he pointed to the mirage that appeared on the sea. Said: "General! It was the Sea Dragon King who appeared. If you want to take it, let's go. The ship bosses are calming the dragon king's anger. ”

But as soon as he said this, Huang Ding's anger became even stronger.

In this cross-sea expedition to Korea, due to the insufficient number of ships, the Daeyong Army used all the ships that could be requisitioned. In order to seize the time, Huang Ding led 2,000 soldiers and horses, first took the ships collected from Shandong and Beizhili, and crossed the sea first under the escort of four gunboats. And Gonzalez led the main force of four thousand. It will cross the sea in late March on a ship of good condition and tonnage.

So Huang Ding and the others were riding on some fishing boats and small boats, not to mention the tattered. Even the speed is relatively slow. And in the four days after going to sea, three ships leaked and capsized. Fortunately, the sea is still calm, although the supplies on these ships are lost. But the personnel were basically rescued.

However, the people on board were crowded. It smells terrible. And the boat is bumpy, seasickness can also be contagious. Although the soldiers of the Marine Corps were all good at water, they had not had this condition before, and they had basically never been to sea, so when they saw that someone was vomiting around them, many people were in an uproar, making the whole boat smell of swill.

If it was just that, Huang Ding would have endured it. Anyway, from Tianjin Wei to Incheon. That's a boat ride in the early 10 days. But today it was unfortunate enough to encounter a mirage, and the entire fleet stopped. This made Huang Ding intolerable.

To be honest, Huang Ding was indeed a little scared at this time. At that time, people were a little superstitious, let alone on the very dangerous sea.

So Huang Ding ordered: "What a dragon king!" The order went down and fired at it, and the guns began to shoot in the same way. ”

"I can't! Checkmate! The boatman beside him immediately rushed over, and he shouted in tears: "Anger the Dragon King, we won't be able to escape!" Checkmate! Checkmate! ”

"Pull him away, and do the order!" Huang Ding ignored the boatman's pleas. He explained, "Everyone knows how to set off firecrackers for the New Year! Make a loud noise to get rid of the dirt. ”

"Boom, boom, boom——!"

"Bang Bang Bang ——!"

The sea was filled with gunsmoke. In the stunned eyes of a group of ship bosses and boatmen, the mirage on the sea surface disappeared, and even the sun's rays penetrated the thick clouds and sprinkled onto the sea, flashing with a little golden light.

"Oh——!" Everyone let out cheers after escaping death. Several shipwrights also came to Huang Ding's side and said in awe: "General! You are the stars in the sky, and even the Sea Dragon King has to avoid it. The little ones are fortunate enough to ride in the same boat with you, which is really a blessing from the previous life! ”

"Haha——!" Huang Ding also smiled happily, "I told you a long time ago, our emperor is a true dragon emperor, do the little dragons on the sea dare to offend?" ”

"Exactly! Precisely! The people around them nodded their heads repeatedly.

"And!" Huang Ding pointed to a boat boss and said, "That pig's head is good, bring it over and give it to the official to taste." I eat fish every day, and I feel sick to my stomach. ”

Several black lines suddenly appeared on the faces of the people around.

……

On March 26, the fleet of the Daeping Army came to the mouth of the Han River along the coastline. After that, four gunboats entered the Han River and went up the river, while the rest of the fleet continued south along the coastline and arrived at the port of Incheon on 29 March.

"It's coming! Here it comes! Zheng Daguan's fleet is here! ”

Seeing the fleet entering the port, the port of Incheon, which had been silent for a winter, immediately became lively. A large number of North Korean people came to see the excitement, but more of them were North Korean coolies on the docks. They make a living by moving goods, so the groups of coolies are divided into groups, each occupying his own territory and preventing his family's coolies from entering.

In North Korea, Chung Ji-ryong's fleet has a great reputation. Since the Manchu became the suzerainty of Korea and Zheng Zhilong began to trade with the Manchus, the Manchus and Zheng Zhilong's Zheng family began entrepot trade through Korea, and it also became an important trade route for the Manchus, and the port of Incheon gradually became lively.

"That's not right! Why is the ship so broken this time? A North Korean coolie wondered, "Could it not be the ship of Zheng Daguan?" ”

"Smack!" With a bang, the North Korean coolie was hit on the head by his leader. The leader yelled, "What do you know? Zheng Daguan's business is too big, and we don't put North Korea in his eyes. The big ship of Zheng Daguan will go in other directions, and those who come to our DPRK will definitely be worse. Look at the flag on the ship, which one is it that is not from Zheng Daguan? ”

Hearing the leader's specious explanation, the coolies nodded their heads again and again. As long as he can make money, it doesn't matter if he comes from a bathtub or not.

Although the docks were crowded with people, there was a large open space in the middle. And in this open space, several North Korean officials nodded and stood beside a dozen Qing soldiers, all of whom surrounded the leading Niu Lu Ezhen, who was patting North Korean sycophants.

After the occupation of Korea, the Manchus stationed 1,000 Qing troops in Korea. In Seoul, the capital of North Korea, there were 500 men and horses stationed, and in Kaesong, there were 300 bannermen. As for the port of Incheon, there is a cattle record of 200 flags. And this Niu Lu Ezhen is the supreme commander of the Qing army in Incheon Port.

For the Eight Banners, being stationed in North Korea is a beautiful difference. Under the careful service of North Korean officials, every Qing soldier is like the emperor of North Korea, with constant filial piety and beautiful women. And there is no war, and life is free.

Therefore, for the sake of balance, the Eight Banners were stationed in North Korea in turn. Each flag is stationed for a year, so that all the flags make a fortune. In this way, those bannermen stationed in North Korea must have been ruthlessly looted, and they just had to seize the time and seize every opportunity to get money.

And the arrival of the Zheng family's fleet is a major source of wealth for these Qing soldiers. Although the transaction of bulk goods has the background of the banner owners and the prince Baylor, it is not their turn to worry about these small soldiers. But the Zheng family's reward alone can make these Qing army soldiers eat a lot of money, so this Niu Lu is really leading the team today.

Seeing that the big ship in the lead lowered its sails, it slowly approached the dock. And the North Korean coolies are busy tying cables. Take a springboard.

Several Qing soldiers were pointing at the big ship, talking and laughing. On the side of the ship, a young man was waving to Qing soldiers and North Korean officials.

Seeing that the young man seemed to be the person in charge of the Zheng family's fleet, the North Korean officials hurriedly returned the salute. But the Qing army's Niu Lu Ezhen folded his chest, and he was still thinking in his heart: "We can't lose the face of the country." Where are these humble merchants worthy of our warriors? ”

Seeing that the springboard had been set up, the young man gave Niu Lu a bright smile. Then he cried out, "Ready! ”

Suddenly, a group of musketeers appeared on the board of the ship's side, holding the firestrings that had been lit, and aimed at the group of people standing in the middle of the dock.

"Put!"

Niu Lu Ezhen, who had not yet recovered from his shock, only heard a loud noise, and then felt his chest and abdomen hit several times. Then his eyes went black, his body went limp, and he was completely unconscious.

"A bunch of fools!" Looking at the Qing soldiers and North Korean officials lying in a pool of blood, Huang Ding, who commanded the shooting, said contemptuously.

Immediately afterwards, a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed off the ship, and they immediately led by a shipwright who had been to Incheon Harbor and slaughtered the Qing army at the port of Incheon.

The North Koreans on the dock saw a group of menacing soldiers killed on the ship, and they immediately became in chaos.

"The pirates are coming! The Woko are coming! Some North Koreans who didn't know what was going on shouted.

And these cries. Immediately, the entire port of Incheon became chaotic. (To be continued......)
