1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 694 Tide ([-])

On December 1653, 12, Ningbo.

"My lord, the soldiers and horses of Qi State stationed at the pier suddenly started to board the ship, and they seem to be leaving Ningbo and moving to another place." An officer of Qian Zong rushed to the lobby of the former Ningbo government office, found Zhang Huangyan, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the supervisor of Zhoushan Town, and told them Some unexpected news for him.

"Did they ever say why they left in such a hurry?" Zhang Huangyan asked in amazement, holding a brush in his hand.

Two months ago, Zhang Mingzhen's Ming army crossed the sea from Zhoushan to attack Ningbo. They were unable to defeat the fortified city for several days, but lost more than a thousand troops, leaving the Ming army in a dilemma.

The Navy of Qi State joined forces with Zheng Sen, Gu Rong (Gu Sanmazi) and other naval ships to break into the Yangtze River and carry out the task of blocking and isolating the Yangtze River. The officers and soldiers of the two companies of the team were placed on the shore to assist Zhang Mingzhen's Ming army in capturing Ningbo.

Unloading several ship-borne heavy artillery, operated by more than a dozen professional gunners, in just one day, they smashed down the gap of more than 20 meters in the East City of Ningbo. Entering the city, Ningbo will be defeated immediately.

Afterwards, Zhang Mingzhen ordered Zhang Huangyan to lead [-] troops to garrison Ningbo, and he sent troops to attack Zuojin County and Town, planning to use this place as the base camp of the Ming army on land, echoing Zhoushan, and occupying this important place in eastern Zhejiang.

As the war continued, the number of refugees also increased, and a large number of refugees poured into Ningbo City, which made the stationed Ming army feel pressure. Even if it is small, and Zhoushan also has a small amount of savings, it is impossible for us to deal with the fewer and fewer hungry people.

In desperation, Yue Leming had no choice but to seek help from the Qi State again, hoping that we could quickly send a small amount of food from Guangdong, Guangxi, or the sea to relieve the local victims.

However, the Qi people pointed out that food transshipment is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is like directly transporting some refugees back to the territory of a few nautical miles under our jurisdiction, and then choose the opportunity to emigrate to the mainland of Hanzhou.This move not only solved the refugee pressure in Ningbo Prefecture, but also provided Qi with a small amount of immigrants, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Yue Leming originally wanted peace, but seeing that there are more than [-] refugees in the city, if there is not enough food, it may be difficult to continue his life.Moreover, as the temperature gradually drops, the situation of those refugees who have enough food and clothing will inevitably become more and more difficult.Immediately, holding his nose, he approved Qi's immigration proposal, hoping that those lucky refugees could find a way out before immigrating to Hanzhou.

Originally, it was thought that when Qi State collected immigrants, it would specially select the strong and a small number of scholars, craftsmen, and entertainers among them, and transport them away first.However, it is expected that the people of Qi State take the family as a unit, and they are divided into categories. The strong and strong, including women and children, are all transferred off the ship and packed away together.That made Yue Leming heave a sigh of relief, and Qi Guo took the opportunity to search for Xiao Ming's population, which made him feel a little more disgusted.

Not long before that, Yue Leming received another report from the officials in the city, saying that the army of Qi State had robbed the "Tianyi Pavilion" of the Fan family in Ningbo.That surprised me, but I didn't lose my temper.

You must know that the "Tianyi Pavilion" of the Fan family is known as "the richest collection of books, the best in the sky".After that, I heard that the army of Qi State had strict discipline, and many people in Xiaoming harassed and harassed the people.Why, when I arrived in Ningbo, I suddenly changed my mind and ended the looting of places.

It should be known that "Tianyi Pavilion" is where the books are collected, is there any gold, silver, jewelry and jade articles available!
When Yue Leming led a team of Yue Le to the "Tianyi Pavilion" of the Fan family, he found that there was no looting and sabotage as imagined. A small number of refugees carefully packed the books into boxes, then stacked them on flatbed carts, and transported them to the docks in the city one by one.

Although it was a vicious looting, but "stealing" the books of Tianyi Pavilion like that is also hated by Xiaoming literati!

"Xiao Ming is in chaos, the flames of war are raging, and Fan's descended to Qing to escape. In this case, Ningbo could have guaranteed that the books here would be destroyed by the war?" A general of the Qi State Army was speechless when facing Yue Leming's attempt to stop him, " Instead of being in the flames of war, it is like storing it in your Hanzhou mainland for the time being and protecting it. When Xiaoming recovers and the mountains and rivers are stable, you can make a copy and return it here."

When Yue Leming heard this, he was startled for a moment, then he looked up to the sky and sighed, and let the Qi people search for books and various ancient artifacts in Ningbo city, and then transferred them to Hanzhou for "temporary storage" and "protection".

There were no more than 800 officers and soldiers stationed in Ningbo City from the State of Qi, but in the past two months, through careful organization and coordination, and hundreds of management personnel were selected from the refugee population, more than [-] people in the city were forced to The refugee camp was well-managed without any small disturbances, even the death rate of the refugees remained at a very high level, which shocked Yue Leming deeply.

You must know that outside the city of Ningbo, where the living and living conditions are better, several or dozens of refugee corpses are transported by carts to the mass graves in the city for burial almost every day.As many as [-] officers and soldiers were armed and suppressed, and a curfew was maintained outside the city. Even so, vicious incidents such as thugs harassing refugees or sneaking into homes occurred from time to time.

Now hearing that the officers and soldiers of the State of Qi are going to withdraw from Ningbo suddenly, Yue Leming feels a little panic in his heart.Could it be that the other party is controlling and transshipping immigrants again?

"Xiaoren Zhang, there are no changes in Liaodong and North Korea, and there is no police in Denglai. Their Yongchu court may have been attacked by the Qing captives." Zhang Mingzhen, deputy commander of the Eighth Battalion of the Marine Corps and Captain Xuanjie (Multiple Schools), said with a smile on his face. With a dignified look, "Say it's good, let Qinglu seize the whole Denglai."

"..." Yue Leming was stunned, and Gu Shixia asked how Liaodong and North Korea remained unchanged, and directly paid attention to the situation in Denglai. After leaving Penglai, they successively captured Laizhou, Pingdu, Weixian, Qingzhou, and Zichuan, and retreated to Jinan. The situation is small, okay? How could there be a sudden warning?... Is it the Qing captives from Beijing who went south to relieve the siege? "

"Are there any Qing captives from Beijing going south?" Qiang Qiangyi said with a wry smile: "A few months later, the Qing captives gathered several troops from Jiangnan, Jianghuai, Henan, etc. in Xuzhou, and then retreated all the way, first to Yizhou , defeated more than [-] people in Li Benshen, and then rushed into Juzhou and Jiaozhou at a slow speed. Refers to Penglai."

"Ah!..." Yue Leming was slightly startled when he heard the words. This time, the Qing army suddenly launched an offensive, just like in the past, attacking Denglai from the north road, but from the direction of the Jianghuai, going straight to Jiaozhou and Laiyang, and piercing through Shandong. The peninsula, straight to the heart.

"So, your Qi Guo Fleet and Zheng Sen's Department are gathering troops and going to Denglai to see if they can save the situation." Zhang Mingzhen turned his head and looked. Basically, all the troops have boarded the ship, and some coolies on the docks are hurrying to get the food. Disembark with vegetables and fruits, "There are still more than [-] refugees in the dock camp that have not yet been transferred. You have left more than ten people here to manage it. Yes, please ask Xiaoren Zhang to send many troops to the dock to help maintain order. .”

"The general is worried. You will handle the refugee matter properly." Yue Leming was not in a state of confusion. Denglai was attacked by the Qing captives, and he knew what the situation would be for His Majesty and the court.In that case, what kind of changes will the entire Jiangnan situation face.

Yes, at that time, Marquis Dingxi (who was enshrined by Zhang Huangyan) had to be notified early to suspend the siege of Ningbo and return to Ningbo City to wait for the situation ahead.If you say yes, you have to gather troops and sail to King Laiqin.

Little General Xuanwei of the Qing Dynasty and Wang Qiangqiang of Shaoluo’an County led more than 10 armored riders of the Manchurian Four Banners and more than 21 Han Army Four Banners on October [-]. They passed through Shengjing, Benxi, and Lianshan, and went to Fengcheng for a while. After a rest, they crossed the frozen Yalu River and captured Uiju (now Sinuiju, North Korea) nervously. Before North Korea responded, they broke through Anju and Yongcheon. More than [-] people were slaughtered.

In order to ensure the suddenness and concealment of the military attack on North Korea, and at the same time to deter North Korean soldiers and civilians, Qing army commander Ping Shan led the troops before breaking into North Korea, massacring all the towns and villages along the way.

On November 11, the Qing army retreated to Pyongyang and encountered 10 small North Korean troops stationed in the city.Pingshan used the Han Army's Four Banners infantry as the rear, and urged the small army to storm the North Korean camp.The North Korean army occupied the camp and met the Qing army with artillery and shotguns, and the two sides fought peacefully.During this period, the North Korean army in Pyongyang tried to go out of the city to attack the Qing army, but was defeated by the four-banner armored cavalry and fled back to the city in embarrassment.

In the evening of the same day, a Qing army of about [-] people suddenly arrived from the northwest and slowly attacked the small camp of the North Korean army, causing chaos to appear in the small camp of the North Korean army.Seeing this, Qiangqiang ordered the small army to make a full-scale assault and smashed several small camps of the North Korean army.

The coach of the North Korean army, Li Shixian, was timid and took the lead in leading thousands of personal guards to Pyongyang. He wanted to cause the entire army to collapse.In the middle of the night, when the fighting stopped, more than [-] North Korean troops were killed, wounded and captured, and only [-] fled back to Pyongyang.

At dawn the next day, Yue Zhong Wugu Shan Ezhensuo Hong Du Han Army Four Banners felled wooden ladders, taking advantage of the new defeat of the Korean army, launched a siege operation.At the same time, Gushan Ezhenka Kamu and Lai Da, the commander of the guards, were ordered to lead the Manchurian Four Banners with [-] armored riders to pursue the defeated North Korean army last night, and sweep the towns and villages near Pyongyang by the way.Order Angbang Zhangjing (the meaning of the general) Marcel and Meile Zhangjing (the meaning of the deputy general) Gachuha to lead the armor and ride eight thousand, attack and retreat south, trying to block and isolate the battlefield information.

On November 11, the Qing army launched a fierce attack on the city of Pyongyang for two consecutive days, guided by the Korean prisoners and the captured people.Li Shixian, the commander-in-chief of the North Korean army, gradually felt that he was a branch, and sent people out of the city to ask Pingshan to surrender on the condition that the soldiers and civilians in the city were preserved.

Pingshan immediately stated that as long as the North Korean army surrendered and sacrificed the city of Pyongyang, the Qing army would retaliate against the soldiers and civilians in the city.

On November 11, the North Korean army opened the gates of Pyongyang, discarded their weapons, and surrendered to the Qing army with the city.

However, before the night Qing army tied up the more than [-] surrendered imperial troops, they drove them to the mountains in the city and slaughtered them all.Before that, the Qing army carried out a bloody massacre on the city of Pyongyang, killing more than [-] Korean officials and civilians, which is known as the "Pyongyang Guisi Massacre" in history.

When Pingshan led the army through Shengjing, he received a secret order from the imperial court. This time, the conquest of North Korea should be carried out as a thunderbolt method. In addition to deterring the North Korean soldiers and civilians, it is also necessary to weaken North Korea's national power and military power as much as possible, so that it will threaten your little one again. The land of Longxing in Liaodong in the Qing Dynasty.

Qiangqiang is convinced of this. North Korea is a big country with tens of millions of people and more than [-] armored people. Although it has been "beaten up" twice by you Xiaoqing for decades, it finally became a vassal and pays tribute.However, the public opinion and trend of thinking about enlightenment and restoring enlightenment are born in the country from time to time, and they have been warned several times, but they still want to repent.

Invaded North Korea from Liaodong, first attacked Longchuan, then attacked Pyongyang, and unexpectedly encountered a small Northern Expedition army organized by North Korea.If you, Xiaoqing, hadn't attacked decisively and launched a sudden attack, it was said that North Korea's Northern Expeditionary Army would have entered the hinterland of Liaodong and threatened Beijing.

The words and actions of the Korean monarch and ministers were so rebellious and committed, intending to invade the suzerain to the north, so don’t blame your little Qing soldiers for turning their hands and smashing him to pieces. His little ministers were imprisoned, and his people were slaughtered in the countryside.

On November 11, the Qing army captured Fengshan (now North Korea's Sawaiwon City) and slaughtered the city for one day.

On November 11, the Qing army captured Kaesong and massacred it for two days.

On November 11, the Qing army retreated to the Ming army. When they encountered more than 26 officers and soldiers from the Korean garrison hall, Pingshan repeated his old tricks and sent troops to capture thousands of Korean civilians in the countryside. In the city, North Korean soldiers and civilians suffered numerous casualties on the city.

On November 11, more than 30 main forces of the Qing army suddenly appeared in Jiangdu City before bypassing the Ming army, and the North Korean army was caught off guard.Before the half-day onslaught, the Qing army broke through Jiangdu City at the cost of more than [-] casualties, and the soldiers pointed directly at Seoul.

Before the king of Joseon Lee Ho heard the news, he was terrified and ordered Cui Hengqian, the young guard of the imperial camp, to protect Prince Li Wei and other members of the royal family by boat and take refuge on Ganghwa Island. Hannan Mountain City.The whole city of Seoul was in chaos, as if Bingzi's rebellion (in 163, Huang Taiji personally led the army to attack North Korea) happened again.

In fact, before Pingshan broke through Jiangdu City, he was still determined whether to attack Seoul.That year, when Emperor Taizong (Huang Taiji) conquered North Korea for the seventh time, he commanded [-] troops, including a small number of Mongolian soldiers and horses. There were not many Han troops, and there were only dozens of artillery pieces.But this time I led only more than [-] troops, and I relied entirely on slow assaults to attack North Korea as preparations, and only then did I fight all the way to the distance of Seoul.It is to say that the military strength is relatively weak, even the siege artillery they carry is only a dozen or so, and it is an imitation of the cannons of the Qi State by the Artisan Institute in the capital, and their power is infinite.

Although, Amin brought more than [-] troops when he attacked North Korea for the first time, but did I go deep into North Korea? I just crossed the Xiaotong River and attacked the Ming army, which is not nearly two kilometers away from Seoul. Bai Shaowai.

Just as the strong troops were stationed in Jiangdu City, they considered whether to turn around and return, and join forces with Shar Huda to break through the Ming army in front of them, so as to relieve their worries.Later, Lai Da, the commander of the Four Banners Guards who went out to explore the road in Seoul, sent a report saying that the defenders of Seoul please surrender, and I led the rear two thousand armored cavalry to seize two city gates, waiting for the small army to come to help.

Ping Shan was stunned, then overjoyed, and immediately led the troops to kill in Seoul.

On December 12, the Qing army invaded Seoul.

On December 12, the defenders of the Ming army immediately surrendered to the city of Hana before they heard that Seoul had fallen.

That is to say, when they went to Seoul, Qiangqiangyi Sarhuda led the troops and went straight to Hannan Mountain City, preparing to capture and kill the Korean monarchs and ministers in one fell swoop.However, the mountain city of Hannan was dangerous and strong, and the attack was delayed for several days, and more than a thousand soldiers were lost.

During the period of being trapped in the mountain city of Nanhan, the king of North Korea, Li Hao, hoped that the soldiers of the four kings of North Korea would come to rescue him.

From the seventeenth month to the first month of the next year, the Qing army previously defeated several groups of soldiers and horses of the King of Qin in Seoul and Hannan Mountain City, and killed and wounded more than [-] soldiers of the North Korean army. .

During this period, Yue Zhongwu brought a message to the Korean monarchs and ministers in the mountain city of Hannan, immediately offering the city to surrender, accepting hostages and offering confessions, everything can be imitated by the "Alliance of Monarchs and Ministers" in the year of Bingzi, so, you Xiaoqing can be blamed for the past, and you will be like your ancestors The covenant of Fan.If so, the country will be destroyed, its people will be killed, and North Korea will be completely wiped out.

The North Korean monarchs and ministers hesitated and did not reply for a long time.In addition to hoping that the soldiers of the various kings will gather here one after another, so that the Hulu can be driven in.On the other hand, it was agreed with the Denglai Yongchu court that Xiao Ming would also send troops to attack Liaodong.That being the case, when the Hulu learned that the front was attacked, they might not last long, so they should go in.
