The four northern generals of Xianxing, Jizhou, Huangzhou, and Haizhou led their troops to King Qin, and there were no officers and soldiers in the entire northern part of Korea.

As for the majority of Pyongyang's protectors, they have been defeated and died.

The Korean monarchs and ministers cowered in Cheorwon. It is located in the north and south, which is not only convenient for defense, but also convenient for the convergence of the Qinwang army from all over the country.

"The king, the troops of the capital have arrived more than 6,000 people one after another." Song Jun Ji Yu reports.

Song Jun-gil and Song Shiyeol were both former kings of Joseon who promoted the San Party (a faction of the Westerners' Party) before his death. Song Junji served as the judge of the soldiers, which is equivalent to the secretary of the military department; Song Shilie served as the official Cao Juju, which is equivalent to the secretary of the ministry.

Li Di finally had a sense of security: "Okay, very good, there are rewards." ”

The previous king greatly expanded his army, and elite troops were stationed in Hanyang. 1,500 people in the royal court's forbidden army, 1,800 people in the newly organized firearms battalion, and 21,000 guards in the imperial camp hall - in history, the 1,000 musketeers of the Korean firearms battalion were also transferred by the Manchu Qing to fight the Cossacks, and they were more heroic than the Eight Banners Army, and the number of enemies killed was far higher than that of the Eight Banners Army.

When Li Li abandoned the city and ran away, he couldn't even take care of the army, and only took away 1,500 royal forbidden troops.

The rest of the army, some of them took care of their families and chose to surrender to the Datong army, while others followed the officers and fled in the chaos. After the issuance of King Qin's decree, these fleeing troops actually took the initiative to assemble with the king, and more than 6,000 people arrived one after another.

The peasants in the north of Korea bombed it at a moment's notice, but the Gyeonggi troops in the central part remained loyal to the king.

And in the south of Korea, it was the world of two classes of nobles and gentry, which you can understand as the Jiangnan region of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if China were to annex North Korean territory, it would be better to swallow only the north. Once the central and southern parts are annexed, riots will inevitably occur one after another, and the annual cost of garrisoning and quelling the rebellion will remain high.

Li Di gave Song Junji full command of the army, and Bing Cao immediately began to reorganize. There were more than 8,000 people in the central army, more than 14,000 troops in the local Qinwang army, and more than 30,000 volunteers (regimental training and people's husbands) were also recruited on the spot.

Lee Eun-ae, the leader of the Hwanghae-do Peasant Army, sent 3,000 vanguard troops, but was killed by North Korean officers and soldiers halfway. Although the artillery of the Korean Central Army was lost in Hanyang, the musketeers and cavalry were still there, and they were unilaterally crushed against the peasant army.

At the same time, Han Qiyuan conquered the city all the way, and the peasants in the western part of Hamgyong Province were inspired by this to rise up, and gradually formed four major resistance forces.

Yuan Shoucheng of Ping'an Dao, commanded more than 30,000 peasant troops, in addition to the support of Datong, there was also the funding of the Bay merchants behind him. These Gulf merchants were not satisfied with trading only on the Yalu River, and they longed for China to destroy North Korea.

Li Enai of Huanghaidao commanded more than 20,000 peasant troops, and also had the support of Datong and the support of Songshang.

The Wan merchants and the pine merchants were in a competitive relationship, and the two peasant armies were therefore hostile to each other. If it weren't for Datong's meticulous communication, it would be very likely that the two rebel armies would be infighting, and they would not need Korean officers and soldiers to quell the chaos, and they would have to fight themselves.

In Hamgyong Province, there are more than 20,000 troops commanded by Han Qiyuan and more than 6,000 troops commanded by Kim Chang. Without the support of businessmen behind them, they simply couldn't survive anymore, and they revolted under the instigation of Datong Xizuo.

"Li En'ai was defeated, and the vanguard troops were completely annihilated," said Kim Yanjun, the commander of the Datong Army, "Don't look at the huge momentum of the Four-Way Peasant Army, if we don't help, the Korean officers and soldiers will definitely be able to win, and at most they will be able to completely quell the chaos in a year or two." ”

Envoy Dang Chongjun sighed: "Those people in the National Security Yuan didn't say hello and secretly made such a big thing. We can't help openly, after all, North Korea is a subject country, and the peasant army belongs to thieves. ”

Jin Yanjun looked at the map of North Korea and said: "We can divide our troops to Chuncheon to block the Qinwang army in the south from going north, and at the same time stop the Korean lord from fleeing south." As long as Chuncheon is occupied, it will be difficult to transport grain from the south to the north, and the Korean officers and soldiers will definitely be short of food. ”

"Yes." Dang Chongjun nodded.

Hanyang, Kaesong, and Chuncheon can all communicate by water.

The Datong Army collected inland ships and quickly divided their troops to arrive outside Chuncheon City. King Qin's army from Chungcheong Province also happened to have arrived in Chuncheon, and the two sides confronted each other across the river without fighting.

With the passage of time, the Korean Qinwang army on the south bank of Chuncheon successively reached more than 40,000 people, all of which were blocked by the Datong army and could not cross the river.

The Datong army did not attack, and the Qinwang army did not dare to force the river. At the same time, the Qinwang army did not dare to make a detour, once they went around the east and took the mountain road, their grain route could be cut off by the Datong army at any time.

Northwest of Cheorwon, by the Imjin River.

Nearly 60,000 peasant troops and more than 50,000 Korean officers and soldiers have been facing each other across the river for several days.

"King, General Lin is here!"

"Which General Lin?"

"General Lin Qingye."

"Hurry up, please!"

Lin Qingye, the word Yingbo, the number Lone Song, the North Korean warrior.

When he was a teenager, he made meritorious contributions to quell the chaos, and when he led the army to King Qin for the first time, before he arrived in Hanyang, Joseon surrendered to Houjin.

Later, he was stationed in Yizhou (Baozhou) to prevent the Later Jin from going south, but due to the traitor Jin Zidian blocking the news for help, the Later Jin army successfully moved south. Lin Qingye led his troops to King Qin for the second time and killed Huang Taiji's nephew halfway, but the king of Joseon surrendered again.

North Korea sent troops to assist Houjin in attacking the Ming Dynasty, and Lin Qingye was appointed marshal. Lin Qingye slowly sent troops and secretly informed the Ming army to be prepared, and the Ming army won a complete victory, and the Qing army suffered heavy casualties.

Three years later, Lin Qingye served as a marshal again and assisted Houjin in fighting against the Ming Dynasty. Lin Qingye sent someone to inform the Ming army, and he advanced slowly, until the war was over, and the Korean army had not yet made contact with the Ming army. Huang Taiji was furious, and Lin Qingye was dismissed.

Historically, the Ming generals under Lin Qingye betrayed his relationship with the Ming army. Lin Qingye escaped after being captured, cut his hair and became a monk, and fled to Beijing the following year. He also joined the Ming army and fought against Wu Sangui, who entered the customs, and after the defeat, he was arrested as a traitor. Later, on the way back to China, he was assassinated by the traitor Jin Zidian.

At this time and space, due to the early end of the Manchu Dynasty, Lin Qingye did not flee to Beijing. But the encounter was not very good, because he and Kim Zidian were mortal enemies, and Kim Zidian became the first assistant of North Korea.

Lin Qingye was only enabled after Jin Zidian was Ling Chi, but he was disheartened and chose to go back to his hometown to study and farm.

In this incident, the army of King Qin of Chungcheong Province publicly recommended Lin Qingye as the commander.

Lin Qingye's army was stopped by the Datong army, and he led dozens of cavalry to cross the river by detour, all the way from the mountains to Tieyuan to escort him.

"General Lin brought these dozens of cavalry over?" Li Di was disappointed.

Lin Qingye explained: "Chunchuan was blocked by the army of the Celestial Empire, and the army of King Qin could not cross the river, so the minister could only lead dozens of horsemen to rescue him. ”

Li Di asked: "In the current situation, how should we fight?" ”

Lin Qingye said: "The army of the Celestial Empire only occupied Hanyang, Kaesong and Chuncheon, and did not start a war with our army, nor did it come to the aid of the rebellious army. This shows that the emperor of the Celestial Empire does not intend to destroy our country, so he must not fight with the heavenly soldiers. The top priority is to wipe out the rebel army! ”

"The chaos is huge, how to sweep it away?" Li Di asked.

Lin Qingye said: "There are only tens of thousands of chaotic soldiers on the other side, and the king will give his ministers 1,000 cavalry, and the joint camp can be destroyed!" ”

Li Di said: "There are not 1,000 riders, only more than 600 riders. ”

"Barely enough." Lin Qingye said.

Counting the dozens of cavalry brought by Lin Qingye, he barely managed to piece together seven hundred cavalry. The 65-year-old North Korean veteran personally led his cavalry to cross the river from the upper reaches of the river, marching day and night, rounding the rear of the peasant army.

At night, Lin Qingye launched a surprise attack, setting fire to the peasant army camp everywhere.

The peasant army here is divided into three forces, which are afraid of each other, and are purely twisted together by the great harmony.

The camp in the north was on fire and chaotic, and the peasant army in the other two camps did not know to go to the rescue, but fled in panic to the west under the leadership of the leader. Lin Qingye took advantage of the chaos to chase and kill, beheaded more than 1,000 and captured thousands.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Qingye crossed the river and returned, angrily reprimanding the soldier Cao and Song Junji: "I made an appointment to attack together, and my attack on the camp was successful, why did you not move?" ”

Song Junji was a little embarrassed and explained: "The king is here, be cautious, and don't use troops easily." If the thief army is only feigned, the king is in danger, and the ministers are in danger! ”

Lin Qingye was so angry that he trembled, it's like this again, it's like this again, damn civil official!

When he was the second king of Qin, he only had 3,000 troops in his hands, but he was able to behead Huang Taiji's nephew, and he also cut off the grain route of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Obviously, he could still fight, and even starve the Qing army to death, but the king surrendered directly to the city under the instigation of the civil officials!

Now he staged a burlesque again, he attacked and killed the peasant army at night, as long as the officers and soldiers crossed the river to chase and kill, the peasant army would definitely be wiped out. A good fighter plane was buried by civilian officials again!

Li Di was also angry with the civilian officials, and at the same time believed in Lin Qingye's ability, he said: "Lin Qing should be the marshal, with full authority to command the army, and the soldiers must not interfere with the command." ”

"King Shengming!" Lin Qingye knelt down excitedly.

Song Junji found Song Shilie in private: "Lin Qingye is a protégé of Shen Qiyuan, and he wears the same pants as Yin Jin." If he quells the civil unrest, the Nanren Party will inevitably make a comeback, and there will be no place for us above the court! ”

Song Shilie was a little angry and said: "There are chaotic people in the north and heavenly soldiers in the south, why are you still thinking about party struggle?" ”

Song Junji said: "The heavenly soldiers occupy the three cities, and there will be no change since then, and they will definitely not destroy our country, just wait and see the current situation to get more benefits." As long as the south does not lose, it can be pacified at any time. Only Lin Qingye is the real confidant. His prestige in the army is too high, and even the Chinese officer of the DPRK has his admiration, and he must not be allowed to make great achievements again! ”

Song Shilie said: "Lin Qingye, I know, he is public-minded and will not form a party to disrupt the government. ”

Song Junji said: "He doesn't form a party and mess with the government, but he is a descendant of Lin Quan, and he is out of the same door as Yin Jin." We finally drove out the Nanrendang Party, and we must not give the Nanrendang a chance to re-enter the court! ”

"But apart from Lin Qingye, who has the ability to lead troops to quell the chaos?" Song Shilie asked rhetorically.

Song Junji gritted his teeth and said, "Hamgyong Province is not our territory in the first place, and most of the people there are savages. There is also the road of peace, and the land of the border. These two places might as well be dedicated to the Celestial Empire and hand over the civil rebellion to the Heavenly Soldiers to pacify. In this way, it not only solves the civil unrest, but also allows the Celestial Empire to retreat, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

Song Shilie was furious: "You who sell your land for glory, I am ashamed to be in the same party as you." From now on, I will quit the Mountain Party, and I will never cut the land and sacrifice the land! ”
