Chapter 1799: Nine Connected City
When it first received a plea for help from the Koreans, the Ministry of Defense thought that it might be too late to send troops to stop the Qing army from invading Korea, and that there would even be an extreme situation in which the country would choose to surrender to the enemy before the reinforcements arrived in Korea. Therefore, the battle plan formulated by the Ministry of Defense at that time was based on the premise that the Qing army had invaded Korea and ensured that the Korean rulers could be rescued in time, and did not take controlling the Korean war situation as one of the options. Besides, with the scale of troops that Haihan can send to North Korea, the Ministry of Defense does not dare to have such a reckless idea.
However, after the allied fleet arrived in Korea, Wang Tom found that although the preparations for war here were not satisfactory, fortunately, the Qing army had not yet started, and there was still a certain buffer time for the allied troops to adjust their strategies. Wang Tom believes that judging from the current situation, the crisis facing North Korea is not irretrievable, and there is even an opportunity to seek more benefits for Haihan. And the degree of control over the Yalu River may become a key to regulating the situation in the Korean war.
For these crooked intestines in the stomachs of the Haihan people, Xu Yuzhuo is a little hindsightly, but the Fujian sailor is in the same camp as the Haihan, and he has been trained under Wang Tom, so he will naturally think that this choice in favor of the Haihan is reasonable. As for whether North Korea finally chose the Ming or Haihan as the suzerainty to be loyal, Xu Yuzhuo did not have any trouble, in comparison, the Haihan, who was close to the Xu family, was much closer than the Zhu family, who ruled the Ming Dynasty, and he personally preferred North Korea to fall to the side of the Haihan, so that it would be much easier for Fujian to carry out trade with the Korean state through the Haihan matchmaking in the future.
Before setting out from Jianghua Island, Xu Yuzhuo had been warned by Wang Tom that tens of thousands of Qing troops in the upper reaches of the Yalu River might be in the process of being assembled, and they must not be careless in the process of carrying out their tasks. However, Xu Yuzhuo believes that the disparity in strength will not actually bring too much trouble to his side, because the gap between the coalition fleet in terms of equipment is huge, and it cannot be made up by the strength of troops at all, and the helpless performance of the enemy cavalry on the river bank before also confirms this. Therefore, although he knew that the enemy army might have gathered heavy troops upstream, Xu Yuzhuo still did not have much nervousness, and even if the situation was unfavorable to his side, he could still return and retreat to the sea by the same route—for the Qing army, the sea was almost an untreadable forbidden area.
The main purpose of this night's preparatory meeting was to unify the strategic awareness of the commanders, and as for all kinds of unexpected situations that may arise, they actually made a record plan in advance. However, Wang Tom did not want to have too many dreams at night, and he would delay too much time on the Yalu River, and after tomorrow's reconnaissance activities were over, he planned to lead the fleet back to sea before making the next move.
That night was really safe, and the Qing army was probably self-aware and did not try to launch a surprise attack at night. Early the next morning, the Combined Fleet, anchored on the bank of the river on the North Korean side, set sail again and headed upstream.
