Chapter 870: Outside the Seoul Gate

Although they didn't want to refuse, Ma Han, who was very honest, immediately took care of their brothers, and began to divide into batches with more than 100 people under Zhang Long, and the detachment conducted intensive training for 3,000 Ryukyu recruits. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As the highest-ranking Zhang Long on the ground in the Ryukyus, it is relatively easy, he does not need to go down to the team to train the troops in person, because the situation in the Ryukyus is not stable now, and all kinds of military information from all over the Ryukyus need to be dealt with by him, what he has to do now is to try his best to control several important positions in the Ryukyu Kingdom, such as the palace dynamics, several ports in the north and the movements of those remnants of the Japanese soldiers in the mountains.

Just when Zhang Long was making a big show in the Ryukyus, on the other side of the sea and the other side of the mountain, there was a group of Smurfs running.

Green Elves, to be exact.

Because they're wearing green coats!

There are quite a few elves, more than 3,000, but they are tired, dusty, and vicissitudes.

They are subordinate to the Eastern Expeditionary Corps under the command of the Fourth Army of the Ming Army, and the leading general is Ma Peng, a fierce general under the commander of the Fourth Army, Cao Bianjiao.

When Lu Wang sent Ma Peng into North Korea, his original intention was to encircle Wei and save Zhao, after all, he was still in a confrontation with Huang Taiji at that time, and wanting to take North Korea first also made the Korean army under Huang Taiji very confused.

It's just that he didn't think about it, Huang Taiji couldn't help but beat him, and was bombed by Lu Wang, coaxed and deceived and intimidated, and surrendered before he finished playing mahjong.

In this way, it seems that Ma Peng's people are useless chess pieces!

Not really! Encircling Wei to save Zhao and confusing the morale of the Korean corps under Huang Taiji was only one of the intentions of Lu Wang to send Ma Peng into North Korea, or even just incidental.

There is no doubt that although Rwann has good intentions towards North Korea and remembers its loyalty for more than 100 years, he does not intend to destroy it, but leaves his country name and treats it well.

But no matter what, the garrison is a must-do thing, a must-do thing.

Because in addition to deterring Korea and demonstrating the power of the suzerain, the more important significance of the garrison is to point the sword against Japan!

The destruction of Japan is the top priority that Rwann is eager to do and must do.

Although he has the most advanced equipment of this era and the confidence to win, he still fights step by step, just to hit with one blow, because he also knows that although Japan is small, it is a strong opponent, and it has been since ancient times!

So he had to cast his net first and set up the game.

This bureau is called surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Namsan is the Ryukyus, while Westsan is Korea, and the other mountain is more on that below.

The three mountains are pressed together, and the dogs will die!

Landmark, in Paju, North Korea.

Ma Pengchang is thick and strong, and he looks extremely rough after nearly a month of traveling day and night, but the perseverance in his eyes carries a trace of pride that others can't easily see.

That's because he knows he's made his own history!

Although it was not the first Ming army to enter Korea, it had been in and out several times when the Ming Dynasty aided Korea to resist the Japanese several times ago, and it was not the first army to cross the Korean Kingdom by land.

But as the second team to cross the territory of North Korea, it is enough to make Ma Peng proud, not to mention that there were only more than 1,000 iron cavalry in Liaodong at the beginning, but he was 3,000 iron cavalry, and the strength of the soldiers and horses was even better!

More importantly, it was unfavorable for the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to go out of the division back then.

This role model Ma Peng did not want to copy.

For most of the month, hardships were inevitable all the way, and the 3,000 iron cavalry were lightly armed and simple, with no special logistics troops or engineering troops, all of which were combat troops.

In this way, although the marching speed was fast, it also suffered a lot.

The first is military rations, although Ma Peng kept in touch with the rear with the radio station, and also knew that there were troops entering the DPRK in the rear, and there was sufficient logistical support, but as a vanguard army and cavalry, no matter how fast the supplies in the rear could not run in front of him, he could not wait in place.

At this time, the only way is to supply from North Korea on the spot.

Reality is always cruel! North Korea could not resupply because it was poor.

How poor is North Korea? One thing to tell you!

Decades ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea, and North Korea begged the Ming Dynasty for help, and finally the Ming Dynasty agreed, sending an advance force of more than 1,000 Liaodong iron cavalry.

Daming sent troops to help you drive away the Japanese, you can always provide some military rations!

However, North Korea can't afford the military rations of more than 1,000 people, and there is no way for the Ming Dynasty to pay out of his own pocket.

And this is not the end, not counting the dispatch of troops and food, and the king of Joseon was given 20,000 taels of silver as a relief fund. Because at that time, the eight provinces of Korea were killed by the Japanese and six provinces, and the country was almost destroyed. Joseon Seonjo is like a lost dog.

With such a good master, it is no wonder that North Korea has been a loyal servant for more than 200 years!

All in all, North Korea was a poor man, no different from what it is now.

Ma Peng's 3,000 military horses along the way originally wanted to supply on the spot ultimately failed, but fortunately, they were well prepared when they set off, so that they would not run out of food quickly, and they could survive the hunting along the way. Although I can't hold on, I can't starve to death.

In the end, when passing through Pyongyang, I still got a batch of rations!

After all, Pyongyang is the big city of North Korea!

And Ma Peng's means of turning the fate are very direct, if you don't give it to Lao Tzu, you will rob it!

Are there any people from all walks of life in the Ming army who are good at stubble, they dare not rob in the territory, and when they go abroad, what is the situation in their own servants' homes......

In more than half a month, from Jinju to Paju, Seoul, the capital of North Korea, is close at hand.

This speed can be described as not fast, but for Ma Peng's cavalry, they have exhausted their efforts.

In the final analysis, I am still unfamiliar with the path of life.

From the translation of the border zone, although the Korean dialect is slippery, but the road is not familiar, and the maps of the Ma Peng belt are all maps of later generations, which have little effect.

Moreover, North Korea is a hilly area, and almost all of them are difficult to walk on mountain roads. It can really be said that it is over the mountains and mountains, and it is really not an exaggeration to trek through the mountains and rivers, and it is more difficult than Shu Road to go to the blue sky.

The population is sparse, and for a while I can't find anyone who wants to ask for directions, not to mention that even if some passers-by see such a force, they are frightened and flee in a hurry, hiding in a place where no one is.

However, in any case, the wind and dust finally reached Seoul, and it was expected that they would arrive in Seoul before sunset today, so last night I ordered the team to rest well, and it was the only time on the way that the rest reached twelve hours.

Ma Peng stood under the tree and looked at his subordinates in the valley who were getting ready to go, and a personal soldier beside him was helping him pack his sleeping bag.

Touched his pocket, took out a cigarette case, shook it for a long time without shaking it out, couldn't help sighing, the five cigarettes given to him by the fourth army commander before departure have all been smoked.

"Division commander, Seoul is close at hand, do we have to make some precautions" Just when Ma Peng was angry and had no smoke to smoke, his deputy Tian Jingzhong came over and handed it to Ma Peng with a roasted hare leg in his hand.

Ma Peng took the rabbit leg and tore a piece and stuffed it into his mouth: "First send a hundred pioneers to open the way, and then the army will follow"

"Division commander, do you think we will fight those Qing troops?" Tian Jingzhong asked.

Because before they came, they had been told that a Qing army was stationed in Kyoto, North Korea, hundreds of people!

"What's the matter, it's hard to be afraid that they won't succeed" Ma Peng had a look of disdain on his face, Huang Taiji's hundreds of thousands of troops can be served by the god king, raise their hands and surrender, although they have no ability to be a god king, but three thousand iron horsemen beating hundreds of people is not a sense of sight of kicking the kindergarten.

"I hope they can obediently obey the order to disarm the soldiers on the spot, and it will save us trouble" Tian Jingzhong shook his head: "I don't understand why I don't tell them that Huang Taiji has surrendered first, and we have to have a showdown when our soldiers come to the city."

"You don't understand this, the above doesn't want the Korean palace to suffer unnecessary losses, you think about it, if you inform Huang Taiji in advance that he has surrendered, what can this Qing army do in the king, can you not make a fortune before leaving, and at that time both the palace and the people will suffer." Ma Peng said very seriously.

"I see"

Tian Jingzhong came to his senses, and then shook his head again: "North Korea is really weak, and now there are at least more than 10,000 troops in the country, and they dare not let go of one when they are pressed by hundreds of people!" ”

"People are good and are bullied, and so is the weakness of the country!" Ma Peng smiled: "The Korean military strength has never been strong, so it is only one of them attached to our Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that our Ming Dynasty has also been a mess over the years, and we have no time to take care of ourselves, so the Tartars took the opportunity to invade and swallow Korea and make it a vassal country...... If it weren't for the God King who went down to earth to save the Ming Dynasty from fire and water, how could there be kung fu now......"

"Report, there is an enemy situation! Catch two spies"

Just when Ma Peng and Tian Jingzhong were chatting about the history of blood and tears in North Korea, a pro-soldier hurriedly came over.

"All on alert!" Ma Peng was shocked.

You must know that he led the army to run all the way, encountered the people and hid, met the soldiers flashed, encountered thieves and thieves fled, and never approached the little partner, this saw how someone took the initiative to show love just near Seoul, could it be said that the Qing army in the city had already known about his arrival, there was no reason, or that the Korean army in Seoul had discovered their whereabouts.

Soon, Ma Peng saw two spies who had been caught.

The two spies were very arrogant, blowing their beards and glaring at the soldiers.

So Ma Peng laughed, because these two arrogant spies spoke Chinese!

"We are not spies, we are ...... our own people," the two shouted.

"Two brothers, which department are you from?"

Ma Peng looked at the two of them and smiled.

"Are you ......" The two people who were arrested looked at Ma Peng's style, stopped tearing with the soldiers around him, and lowered their tones.

"Ma Peng, commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Division of the Ming Army!"

"My subordinates have met Chief Ma, and we are intelligence officers of the North Korean branch of the Intelligence Department of the Military Discipline Department, and we have been ordered to deliver the letter," one of them said.

"Oh, the Ministry of Intelligence already has a branch in North Korea?" Ma Peng was a little surprised, but after all, it was not a department, and it was normal for him not to know.

"What letter?"

"Message, we will meet with the chief of the horse before entering the city"

"What are your heads?" Ma Peng looked puzzled

"Luo Yangxing, Chief Luo!"

Forehead...... Ma Peng was taken aback, the original commander of Jinyi Wei, your lord!

It's just a novel, you don't need to turn the textbook for me, the fact is that the Qing army did not garrison after withdrawing from North Korea, and added a little soy sauce and vinegar to the storyline, so you don't need to be serious!
