I want to be emperor

Chapter 560 Accidentally Destroyed a Country
Anju, this place is very important to the Lee Dynasty on the Korean Peninsula. The city is located on the south bank of the Qingchuan River. It has always been a regime in the Korean Peninsula, and it is a military center that resists attacks from the North, especially the Northeast.

When the Dongbang people attacked North Korea for the first time in the early years, the Koreans garrisoned heavy troops here and tried to defend to the death. However, the Koreans overestimated themselves and underestimated the Dongbang people.

The Dongyao people led by Ah Min took Anzhou within a few days, and then went all the way to Seoul smoothly.

This year, as the Chu army continued to achieve major victories in the Northeast region, especially in autumn, the Chu army regained Phoenix City, Zhenjiang Fort and other large areas on the west bank of the Yalu River, pushing the front line behind the Yalu River.

The Li Dynasty also felt under a huge threat, and they began to hoard heavy troops in Anzhou again.

As for places such as Yizhou in the north, they are too close to the Chu army, and it is easy to be dumped at the beginning of the war... It is the same as when the Dongyao people entered North Korea for the first time. At that time, the North Koreans were deployed in Yizhou and other places. The troops basically did not play any role.

This time, the Li Dynasty learned a lesson and did not deploy heavy troops in Yizhou and other places. Of course, this also had concerns about avoiding deploying heavy troops on the border and stimulating the Chu army.

After all, in Yizhou and other places, there are still a large number of Dongbang soldiers.

In order to suppress and control North Korea, the Dongyao people left some troops in this area. Later, after the Chu army’s marines landed on Phi Island, in order to prevent the Chu army from landing on the Iron Mountain Peninsula, the Dongyao people also garrisoned thousands of people in Tieshan. troops.

This area belongs to the Li Dynasty in name, but in fact it is actually controlled by the Eastern Captives.

Even the North Korean troops deployed in this direction are under the jurisdiction and command of the Dongbang people.

Under many conditions, the defense of the Li Dynasty in the north was mainly concentrated in Anzhou.

After Brigadier General Feng Yushu led his troops across the Qingchuan River under the cover of the naval fleet, he learned from the local people that there were about 3 to [-] North Korean troops in the city.

A mere 3 to [-] thousand people will not stop Feng Yushu from attacking!

He has fought with these North Koreans a few times, and the influence these North Koreans have given him is that, if he dies, he will be at the level of the guards in the Central Plains of the Ming Army...the combat effectiveness is very poor.

There is not even a long-barreled artillery, and there are very few short-barreled artillery. The firearms are still in the era of Huomen guns.

And the will to fight is not very good.

If the fighting power of the Koreans was strong enough, they would not have been hanged and beaten twice by the Dongbang people before.

Not to mention that the Chu army felt that their combat effectiveness was not good, even the Dongyao people felt that the combat effectiveness of these Koreans was too weak.

When the Dongyao people resisted the Chu army on the Liaodong battlefield before, they also mobilized a large number of North Korean troops from the Korean peninsula, and the number was tens of thousands.

But the Dongbang people never sent these tens of thousands of Korean troops to the frontline battlefield...

why?
Because the cannon fodder and the Dongbai people dislike them being in the way, so most of the North Korean troops recruited are used to transport logistics supplies in the rear, mainly as civilian husbands...

Only when the Liaodong battlefield was completely defeated and retreated to Yizhou, Tieshan and other places, the Dongyao people deployed these North Korean troops as the main force on the front line.

Because at that time, there were not many Dongyao people who retreated to Yizhou, and only one or two thousand people survived. They were not enough...

As a result, more than 1 North Korean troops, together with thousands of Dongcap people, were hanged and beaten by 5000 people under Feng Yushu's subordinates.

After these battles, Feng Yushu also had a clearer understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Koreans.

The enemy of Anzhou is not to be feared!
In fact, this is indeed the case. Feng Yushu's troops crossed the river smoothly under the cover of the navy, and then launched a siege operation with the Navy's [-]rd Marine Regiment.

In fact, there were no heavy artillery in the siege operations, only a dozen or so 48-jin light mortars, in addition to several [-]-jin mortars that were directly moved from naval warships.

More still rely on the portable two and a half catties field guns and five catties field guns.

If this kind of firepower was placed on the Jinzhou battlefield before, the people from the East would not bother to come out of the artillery fortifications to take a look...

But North Koreans are different!

They have never experienced this kind of battle, and they have not even prepared any artillery fortifications, let alone put sandbags on the top of the city, dug trenches outside the city, and built forts outside the city.

Ever since, after the shelling, the North Korean defenders on the opposite side were at a loss.

If troops were deployed to defend at the top of the city, the bombardment would be a lot like defense, and the Chu army's infantry would not be needed to fight up, and their troops at the top of the city would suffer heavy casualties.

Once the city wall is pushed down, the Chu army commando outside the city will kill it in minutes...

This is a dilemma, whether to go to the top of the city or not to go to the top of the city.

In this dilemma, the defenders in the city quickly collapsed, and the commandos of the Chu army climbed to the top of the city with little hindrance.

The next thing is that a large number of Chu troops are like tigers entering a herd of sheep. They still stay in these war thinking decades ago.

It is worth noting that the infantry plate armor of the Chu army finally got rid of all the embarrassments in the past, and then played a powerful role...

A group of commandos wearing plate armor iron cans, holding a shield in one hand and a quick-fire pistol in the other, killed the opposite one with a snap, then replaced another quick-fire pistol, and killed another with a snap...

After finishing the two rounds of pistols, he changed into a stainless steel one-handed waist knife and went up to fight.

This is almost the traditional heavy infantry, the best representative in close-range melee. Even if the Koreans on the opposite side have some armored soldiers, they can't stop them at all!
This time, let these grenadiers have a good kill, and regained the feeling of the Chu army's heavy commando in the past!

You must know that in the past, the so-called heavy armored infantry in the Chu army were actually rarely able to play like this.

On the Liaodong battlefield before, the firearms and equipment rate of the Dongcap people was not low... The artillery includes various field cannons, old-style short-barreled guns, muskets that imitate the matchlock guns of the Chu army, and old-style shotguns.

Their main force, as a whole, adopted the same hot and cold weapons, equipment and tactics as Hong Chengchou at that time.

In front of this kind of army, the traditional so-called heavy infantry actually has great limitations.

It is only possible to find a sense of superiority in this kind of enemy who has few new firearms and has a relatively weak fighting will.

Therefore, the superior performance of the heavy infantry in the Anzhou Battle this time may not affect the determination of the high-level empire to completely eliminate these heavy armors.

Even though these heavy armors are all new plate armors, they seem to have outstanding protective capabilities, but in fact their usefulness is very limited.

Cannons and new firearms can't handle it... If you are against cold weapons like bows and arrows, your protection is too much. Only the old-style firearms can have a better effect, no more, no less.

According to the plan of the high-level army, the armor will be selectively equipped in the future.

If the enemy on the opposite side is not good and uses a lot of cold weapons and bows and arrows, then a set of light half body armor is used for the main purpose of defending bows and arrows.

If the opposite side is an army equipped with a large number of firearms, such as new arquebus guns and field artillery... the armor will not have a second effect other than adding weight to the soldiers, so you don't need any armor, just wear ordinary military uniforms on the battlefield. .

In this concept, there is no living space for heavy full-body armor.

Therefore, this battle on the Korean peninsula is very likely to be the first display of the Chu army's heavy full-body infantry plate armor, and it will also be a swan song!

-

After taking Anju, Feng Yushu reported victory to the rear according to the usual practice, and then continued to go south, taking Pyongyang, Huangzhou, Pingshan and other cities smoothly all the way, and finally killed all the way to Seoul!

The monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty had already fled to Jianghua Island again, and they continued to send envoys to see them, expressing that the Li Dynasty was willing to submit to Yunyun...

However, what Feng Yushu wanted was not the surrender of the other party, but the North Korean province!

Therefore, I have no interest in their so-called surrender proposals, so if you say that the other party wants to surrender, you can surrender completely and unconditionally.

And in this way, the Li Dynasty on the opposite side will not give up.

They knew that after the Chu army went south, they had already set up an administrative agency. If their side surrendered unconditionally, it would be tantamount to giving up resistance and letting the other side annex it.

This is not what they want.

What they want is to keep the state system as much as possible through negotiation, and recognize the boss just like they surrendered to the Dongyao people before, play with the tribute, and close the door and still be the boss of the peninsula.

It's just that after sending envoys again and again were rejected, they gradually became desperate.

Especially when Seoul was breached by the Chu army, and then the ground troops of the Chu army, with the cooperation of the naval fleet, began to land on Jianghua Island.

The Li Dynasty is completely desperate!

Seeing that the subjugation of the country was inevitable, they finally chose to surrender to save their lives. Otherwise, when the Chu army really landed on Jianghua Island, they would have nothing to do with it.

So... On December 4000th, the seventh year of Chengshun, the Chu army passed a battle that was actually small in scale. The army only sent [-] troops, and the navy only sent more than [-] marines. With the cooperation of a squadron, the Lee Dynasty on the Korean Peninsula was successfully destroyed...

When Admiral Zuo Yingzhe, the commander of the Third Army, received Feng Yushu's good news, he thought he had read it wrong, so he opened his eyes and took a closer look!
Nima, if you don't pay attention, a mixed group under your hands has already wiped out the Li Dynasty!

Zuo Yingzhe supported Feng Yushu's fight against the Koreans, but Zuo Yingzhe actually never thought that he could kill the Li Dynasty in one go, beat them up, and completely sever the vassal relationship between the Koreans and the Dongyao people, so as to solve the crisis on the front line of the Yalu River. The east is dangerous, so that our follow-up can concentrate on fighting deep into the northeast hinterland.

This is Zuo Yingzhe's main purpose.

Of course, by the way, expanding the territory of the empire by hundreds of miles is also considered a purpose. After all, the war can't be done in vain, isn't it?

It's just that he didn't expect Feng Yushu to be so vigorous, and it took more than half a month before and after, to unconditionally surrender the opponent of the Li Dynasty, and even offered his household registration, and voluntarily abdicated...

Then Zuo Yingzhe hesitated. The kings of the Li Dynasty have already announced their abdication, offered their household registration, and handed over the Korean Peninsula, but will the empire accept it directly and rule these places directly?

It can't be blamed for his hesitation... It's because the higher-ups have never said that they want to destroy North Korea and directly set up provinces!

On the contrary, Ji Dehua, the governor of Liaodong, was very courageous. After hearing this, he directly clamored to include the Korean Peninsula directly into his Liaodong Province.

What language and culture barriers, long distances, etc., are not a problem in his opinion...

Such as changing clothes and hair, burning books to change schools, immigrant intermarriage and a whole set of integration policies, it will not take more than ten years for the Korean peninsula to be the territory of China since ancient times.

Zuo Yingzhe's heart is not as big as his. Moreover, Zuo Yingzhe is not a civil servant, he is just a general... In the past, the Li Dynasty was a vassal of the Dongyao people. That is only right and proper.

But how to deal with it after the war is a matter for civil servants.

Ever since, Zuo Yingzhe didn't care about it, and ordered Feng Yushu to control the situation in the peninsula first, and sent two second-class divisions to assist.

The other side directly dispatched the Clippers to urgently report relevant news to Jinling.

When Luo Zhixue learned that Master Wang had captured the Korean peninsula, captured all the monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty, and forced them to present their household registration registers, he was completely stunned...

This once made him wonder if there was something wrong with his memory. He didn't remember that he gave the order to attack the Korean peninsula to play the war of annihilation!

Xu Zhixian, Minister of Staff of the military, was also quite speechless: "The frontline soldiers did not expect it to be so easy. They broke through Seoul without any resistance in the process of chasing the Dongyao people. In order to survive, Mrs. Li, I begged and presented my household registration register!"

Although Xu Zhixian didn't know why the front line suddenly destroyed a country, but as a military leader, he must stand firm and have a firm attitude.

Since it was the Li Dynasty that was wiped out during the pursuit of the Dongcap, then the credit must be recognized.

Anyway, the Great Chu Empire and the Joseon Dynasty are in a state of hostile war in terms of jurisprudence, and it is reasonable to destroy them.

After Luo Zhixue heard this, he also pondered for more than ten seconds. Although things were a little unexpected, he was still ready to acquiesce in the result of the battle, and decided to give a corresponding reward.

Because it seems to have destroyed a country, but the most important thing is that this series of battles did not actually attend the situation of sending troops privately and disobeying orders.

According to the order of the Third Army Command, Feng Yushu crossed the Yalu River to pursue the remnants of the Eastern captives. Later, the Third Army Command added an order to Feng Yushu to continue to encourage Feng Yushu to attack south.

It's just that the Third Army Command didn't expect Feng Yushu to be so good at fighting, and the North Koreans to be so scumbag... so much so that Feng Yushu put the North Koreans on the ground in one fell swoop.

So this unexpected situation occurs.

Therefore, meritorious soldiers must be rewarded, and they must be rewarded heavily.

As for how to deal with the Korean peninsula, and how else to deal with it, the Li family has already abdicated and presented the household registration register. The Korean peninsula will naturally be the territory of the empire in the future.

Let the Yushufang discuss one or two specific ways to set up local administrative agencies later.

Regardless of whether it is directly established as a province or under the jurisdiction of Liaodong, the Korean Peninsula will be the territory directly under the empire in the future!
