When the people in the city heard that the generals of the Ming army who had just entered the city were going to take them away, they were so frightened that their legs were weak.

In addition, most North Korean people do not speak Chinese, and it is difficult to communicate, so for a while, chickens and dogs jump in the city, and shouts are loud all day long.

Those who don't know think that the Ming army is going to slaughter the city.

Zhang Zhiji took a look.

What line is this?

Hurriedly ordered to find some soldiers who could speak Korean, and found a more prestigious old man in the city, named Cui Minggui, who had read books and could speak Chinese.

"You help persuade the squires of the city to gather the people here, and they will have something to say."

"Dare to ask the general, can you tell me anything important?" Cui Minggui smiled all over his face, stood in front of Zhang Zhiji and said flatteringly. He wasn't worried that the Ming army would slaughter the city, so where could he not kill people?

"I was going to reassure the people."

"That's good, the little ones will go."

I don't know what means Cui Minggui used, he only called a few dozen tens of thousands of people in the city.

Zhang Zhiji looked at the sparse crowd, and his desire to speak basically disappeared.

Forget it, it's all here, let's say a few words.

"His Majesty the Great Ming Emperor has already known about Jiannu's capture of the royal city, and we are on His Majesty's orders to help you drive away Jiannu. When you return, tell the people of the city that there is no need to panic. What to do, it's business as usual.

Our Ming army is highly disciplined, and it will definitely not commit any offence against the people in the city. One will not force you to give food, but it will not force you to give food. You just live your life as you have always been.

If a soldier violates military discipline, even if you come to me, I will not tolerate it. ”

After Zhang Zhiji finished speaking, Cui Minggui translated his words again.

These people were overjoyed after hearing this, and they still have good military discipline in Daming's father.

After Zhang Zhiji's operation, one passed ten, ten passed hundred. The people knew about the discipline of the Ming army, and the tense atmosphere in the city slowly dissipated. Some of the people who were bullied by Jiannu felt that the Ming army had helped them avenge it. He also gave his treasured spicy cabbage to the Ming army.

staged a military and civilian fish and water situation in which the people wept.

Zhang Zhiji is naturally not unruly to do this, and Zhu Youzhen made special arrangements for this matter before setting out for the expedition. Let him strictly restrain his subordinates after capturing the city and create a good image. Lay some groundwork for future action.

July 25

The grain and grass of the imperial court were delivered.

This batch of grain and grass was first pulled to Tianjin by train, and then sent to Phi Dao by cargo ship, so that Phi Dao sent troops to escort it to Yizhou.

The owner of Mao Island was extremely concerned about this matter, and personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to escort the whole process.

In Yizhou City, I met the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and the new British public Zhang Ji.

"Grandpa! The last general did not disgrace his mission and sent the grain and grass intact! As soon as they met, Mao Wenlong said respectfully to Zhang Zhiji.

"Hmm~ good. There is a general soldier of Lao Mao. Zhang Zhiji nodded, a little shelf-studded.

"Don't dare. It's a matter of duty. ”

When handing over the grain and grass, Mao Wenlong finally saw the elite of the Beijing camp that was still rumored to be in the outside world.

Before, he had always thought that Jingying's record was exaggerated, but today it was really extraordinary. It gave him a new understanding of the imperial court.

After sending Mao Wenlong away, Zhang Zhiji convened a meeting of the generals under his command. Discuss your next steps.

"Now that morale is high and there is enough food and grass, we should continue to go south." After speaking, Zhang Zhiji pointed to the map. "The east and west lines, the west front, attacked Dingzhou, Anzhou, Huangzhou, Haizhou, all the way to Seoul. On the eastern front, attack Samjuri, Heecheon, Yongheung, Wonsan, Huaiyang, and then attack Seoul. Let's talk about it, which line to focus on? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone started a heated discussion.

In the end, the opinion of dividing the troops prevailed.

Division?

Zhang Zhiji frowned, he remembered the battle of Salhu back then, if it wasn't for Yang Hao's hasty division of troops, he would not have been defeated so badly. A battle has been fought for many years, and Daming has not taken a breath.

However, there are not many soldiers in Korea to fight at the moment, so there is no need to worry about the situation back then.

After thinking about it, he withdrew from everyone, came to his house, and used the radio to contact Zhu Youzhen.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Zhiji summoned the generals again and issued an order.

The soldiers are divided into two ways.

Except for the 1,000 soldiers who stayed behind in the five military camps in Yiju, all the others set off.

He himself led 10,000 battalions of the 5th Army, 10,000 of the Shenji Battalion, and 5,000 of the 3,000 Battalions to attack the Western Front.

Xu Yingyuan led the five army battalions of 9,000, the Shenji battalion of 10,000, and the 3,000 battalion of 5,000 to attack the eastern front.

Resolutely eliminate the living force of Jiannu, as long as it is Jiannu, there will be no living mouth!

Once again, the army set out in a mighty way.

In Seoul, Amin is anxious like an ant on a hot pot. The fall of Uiju caused him to panic.

There were more than 10,000 elite Eight Banner soldiers under him, and he lost nearly half of them in this battle, which made him breathless in distress.

"The Sword Comes"

But it's useless to feel distressed, Yizhou, which has such a strong defensive force, fell so quickly that other cities couldn't bear it at all. It's only a matter of time before he hits Seoul, and before his ass is warmed up, does he have to run away again?

He found Fan Wencheng and asked him what he thought.

Fan Wencheng was also at a loss at this time, he really couldn't understand why a strategy that seemed good was so vulnerable. No matter how awesome your musket is, it can't break the city wall!

That's 20,000 defenders, and there are plenty of supplies in the city, so why was it breached in one day?

"Your Majesty, how did the Ming army break the city in one day?"

"I don't know."

Zhang Zhiji's news is strictly blocked, and he still doesn't know what's going on. But according to the spies, the two gates of Uiju collapsed. Could it be that it was bombarded with artillery? ”

"It shouldn't be, as far as the minister knows, the Ming army doesn't have such powerful artillery."

"So what now?" Amin frowned, looking a little impatient.

Fan Wencheng pondered for a while and said slowly.

"Let's go and meet the generals of the Ming army and see if we can negotiate peace."

"Will it be dangerous for you to go?" Amin was a little worried, although Fan Wencheng was a Han man, he was indeed very talented, and he had paid a lot of useful attention these days, and Amin was a little worried about his safety.

"I expected... I guess it should be fine. Fan Wencheng said hesitantly.

He was talking about seeing and shouting at the top of the city. Let him go to the other party's barracks, he won't dare to scare him to death.

"Well, there's Mr. Law!"

"Can the king prepare some gold and silver property, and the ministers will see the opportunity to act when they arrive, and see if they can buy off the generals of the Ming army."

"Yes!"

Fan Wencheng set off with two carts of treasure. He went all the way north, and on the way he kept hearing reports of defeats at the front.

Dingzhou, Anzhou. All lost.

By the time they arrived in Pyongyang, night had fallen, and Zhang Zhiji had already led his army to camp ten miles outside Pyongyang.

Fan Wencheng didn't say a word, and sent a few cavalrymen to escort the Korean people out of the city.

As soon as they left the city two or three miles, a Ming army spy discovered them. Several cavalrymen immediately left the people and fled. If the cavalry runs, the people naturally can't run. After a brief inquiry, the spies learned their intentions. Escorting the Korean people and two carts of jewels came to Zhang Zhiji's tent.

Zhang Zhiji was obviously a little surprised to see the two boxes of jewelry.

There are still people who give gifts in this march and war?

When he read the letter written by Fan Wencheng, he sneered and tore it to pieces.

When I'm stupid, be accommodating to your mother, and talk to your mother.

"Where is Fan Wencheng now?"

"Inside the city of Pyongyang." A North Korean soldier replied tremblingly.

"Don't panic. Let's go back! ”

This Fan Wencheng is the traitor whom His Majesty named to be killed.

The next day, outside the city of Pyongyang.

"Shout!" Zhang Zhiji ordered.

"Fan Wencheng! See you at the city walls! ”

The shouts of more than 20,000 soldiers shook the sky, and Fan Wencheng, who had not slept all night, was overjoyed.

Want to see me?

What a good thing!

He came to the city in a panic. Seeing that Zhang Zhiji, who was surrounded by a team of personal soldiers, was already waiting a stone's throw outside the city.

"Dare to ask, is it Grandpa Zhang outside the city?"

"Hahaha! It's Grandpa Ben! Fan Wencheng, if you want to talk about peace, it's not impossible. But Amin must be asked to go to the capital in person to ask His Majesty for his guilt! Begging for His Majesty's forgiveness! Zhang Zhiji laughed and said loudly to Fan Wencheng on the upper floor of the city. After speaking, he asked the soldiers around him in a low voice:

"Can you hit it?"

"Yes!"

"How sure are you?"

"Seventy percent!"

"Good! I'll talk to him a few more words, and you'll see the opportunity to shoot him in the head!" ”

"Yes! Checkmate. ”

As soon as Fan Wencheng heard Zhang Zhiji's words, he knew that it was impossible, wouldn't Amin go to the capital to find death?

"Grandpa Zhang, I'm afraid it's unlikely that the king will go to the capital, can you change the conditions. We try to be satisfied! ”

"Other conditions? Let me think! ”

"Grandpa Zhang, we are very sincere, why don't we ......" Fan Wencheng unconsciously stretched his head out when he heard the play, ready to work harder to persuade Zhang Zhiji. But suddenly saw the soldiers beside Zhang Zhiji raise the musket in his hand, which frightened him into death, and subconsciously turned his head, wanting to hide behind the strong woman.

It should have been his life, and this dodge just avoided the key point.

He crouched down with a scream.

"Ears! My ears! ”

The soldier next to him took a look and saw that half of Fan Wencheng's ear was knocked off by lead bullets.

"Well done!" Zhang Zhiji patted the soldiers beside him.

"General, it doesn't seem to be killed... It only hit the ear. The soldier said with some embarrassment.

"Huh? All right. Zhang Zhiji considered that there are not many troops at the moment, and Pyongyang is a big city, so it will be difficult to block it even if it is defeated. When the time comes, Fan Wencheng will definitely take advantage of the chaos to escape. I wanted to design to kill him in advance, but I didn't expect it to fail.

However, he didn't care too much, and returned to the camp with his horse, and ordered the siege of the city.

Fan Wencheng was almost killed, and he was so frightened that he no longer dared to stay in Pyongyang. After casually bandaging the wound, he rode his horse and planned to run out of the city. He hadn't gone long when he heard a loud bang behind him.

Looking back, the gate after the smoke cleared revealed a large hole.

He finally knew why the Ming army broke the city so well.

It's also scary!

At that moment, he didn't dare to stop and desperately draw the war horse under his crotch and fled to the south gate.
