The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 590
Of course, this time it is not so much that he was defeated by Ding Yi, it is better to say that Huang Taiji retreated before fighting, and did not want to fight Ding Yi decisively.

Afterwards, Huang Taiji, who returned to Shengjing, was questioned by many Baylor ministers.

Under the circumstances at that time, if a decisive battle with Ding Yi was assembled, such a rout would not necessarily result.

But Huang Taiji asked back, at the scene at that time, how did you know how many soldiers Ding Yi had?

This guy fights in an extremely insidious manner. If there are [-] to [-] soldiers and horses surrounded on all sides, our Qing army may be completely wiped out.

So, what Huang Taiji said also makes sense.

In the case of a surprise attack by the Ming army, if it was another Ming army, the Qing soldiers would naturally step forward and fight decisively without hesitation.

But Ding Yi is not a normal person. The Qing soldiers fought against him many times before, and each time they fought more and attacked less, the first attack was a disastrous defeat, let alone being ambushed by Ding Yi this time.

At that time, no matter who was on the scene, the first thought must be to take the soldiers and horses out and withdraw them.

It can be seen from this that at this time, the whole Qing Dynasty was already scared by Ding Yi, and most people wanted to retreat without fighting Ding Yi when they met Ding Yi.

In late April, Huang Taiji returned to Shengjing with his remnant soldiers. About five days after he went back, Yue Tuo also fled back to Shengjing with more than 100 remnants of defeated generals.

When the Qing soldiers in Shengjing saw them, they couldn't believe it.

More than 100 people are worse than the beggars and disaster victims in the Ming Dynasty, and they don't have a whole piece of clothes on their bodies.

After he led hundreds of elite soldiers from Anguling, when they arrived at Nanhan Mountain City, the Qing soldiers had already been defeated.

Then they ran across the road and ran to the country. The North Korean soldiers who had been defeated before were excited. They were attacked by other Korean soldiers and horses many times. They fled all the way back, and more than 100 people survived.

The rest were either killed or captured.

This has to be replaced by the past, when he led two thousand elite riders all the way to the battle, only more than 100 people came back, and he would definitely be severely punished.

But this time Huang Taiji also suffered a disastrous defeat. Instead, he was reassured, but he was not punished.

At this point, the Qing Dynasty’s war of attacking the DPRK finally came to an end. Although the Qing Dynasty did not lose many soldiers, the two nobles, Yang Guli was killed, Shuo Tuo was arrested, and the firearms battalion suffered heavy losses. fiasco.

The disastrous defeat in the war of attacking the dynasty severely damaged Huang Taiji's prestige. At the same time, Kong Youde also deeply felt that what Ding Yi said privately to him that day might actually come true in the future.

But the battle to conquer Korea also had bright spots.

The Qing soldiers made a new Lumi blunderbuss this time, and after shooting against Ding Yi's blunderbuss, the effect was also good.

Although the Qing soldiers were limited by distance and power, they were at a disadvantage when shooting against each other, but they also killed and wounded many Ming army gunmen.

But for this battle, the Qing soldiers only brought two hundred Lumi blunderbusses and one thousand bird blunderbusses.

Seeing the results, Huang Taiji became more and more determined in his heart that he could compete with Ding Yi by making less guns and armour, and more Lumi guns.

On the morning of May 4st.

The city gate of Hancheng in Namsan was opened wide, and the king of Joseon Li Ji led a team, standing at the gate of the city to welcome the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty.

When Ding Yi rode his horse and led the generals forward, Li Zhen bowed deeply and lowered his head.

"Da Ming went to the country, Li Yu, and met General Ding."

At the same time, wow, the Korean civil and military officials all knelt down on the ground at the same time, with pious faces, and shouted loudly: "Greetings to the Great General of the Ming Dynasty."

The soldiers of the whole country of North Korea were beaten to pieces by the Qing Dynasty, countless wealth and people were plundered, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed. He taught the Qing people a lesson.

Li Zhen and North Korea finally saw how terrifying Ding Yi's power is.

They expressed their respect and obedience to the strong with a submissive heart.

All the generals of the Dongjiang River were following Ding Yi at this time. When they saw this scene, everyone felt proud from the bottom of their hearts.

This is the king of a country, expressing his surrender to their Lord Ding.

Chen sometimes thought that according to Ding Yi's style, he would jump off the horse immediately, help Li Ji up with a smile on his face, and said polite words such as "Your Majesty, don't need to be polite, get up quickly."

Unexpectedly, Ding Yi rode on the horse without saying a word, and looked at the North Korean people coldly.

Li Zhen lowered his head, obviously feeling Ding Yi's indifference, and suddenly felt his legs go weak.

At this time, their city gates were wide open, and the defenders in the city also thought the battle was over, so they relaxed their vigilance, and a large group of Ming troops were behind Ding Yi. If Ding Yi suddenly turned his face and gave an order, I am afraid that the whole of North Korea would be in trouble.

"Ding—General Ding?" Li Zhen raised his head carefully and said in a trembling voice.

"I heard—" Ding Yi said in a deep voice: "Before Jiannu Yingerdai had many negotiations with your country Jin Yan and Cui Mingji. You secretly sought to stop and make peace with Jiannu? Are you trying to sell my reinforcements? Is there a matter?"

Li Zhen was shocked, and with a plop, he knelt down in front of the officials.

The surrounding officials were in an uproar.

Although Daming is the upper kingdom, Li Yu is also the king. Although he cannot call himself Zhen, he can call himself a widow.

Even though Ding Yi was a general of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zhen didn't need to kneel down to him.

"Your Majesty." Several North Korean ministers stepped forward one after another, intending to support Li Ji.

But Li Zhen's legs were weak, and his body was limp and paralyzed, so he could help him up for a while.

He didn't want to kneel down, but his legs were so frightened that he couldn't stand up.

"It's nothing. The whole country is united and swears to fight against the Qing Dynasty. If you want peace, how can you stick to the Nanhan Mountain City? General Ding can't listen to the words of villains." Li Zhen was about to cry.

Jin Yu and Cui Mingji were the capitulators in history, and indeed during the siege, they had to negotiate with Yingerdai many times, but Li Yan strongly refused and stood by for help, eventually defeating the Qing soldiers.

But there is indeed a matter of Jin Yan and Cui Mingji's peace, and Li Zhen is also guilty.

Because he knew that these two people would definitely contact the Qing Dynasty in private, and he pretended not to know, in order to leave a way out.

"Where is Jin Yan and Cui Mingji?" Ding Yi suddenly asked loudly.

Every time he said a sentence, a translator beside him repeated it aloud in Korean.

There was a commotion among the North Korean crowd, Ding Yi didn't need to look for it, many people turned their heads to look at Jin Yan and Cui Mingji.

Ding Yi said angrily: "Jiannu barbarians, cruel and heartless, trample your country with iron cavalry, kill your people with butcher knives, and your ministers want to make peace before fighting, and want you to be the king of subjugation. To be a minister of subjugation, such unfaithful, despicable and shameless traitors, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty." Jin Yan and Cui Mingji knelt down to Li Tan, crying.

Jin Yan did not perform well in the original history. After the Qing soldiers conquered Korea, Li Yan gave his son to death out of anger, leaving him as an official.

Now seeing Ding Yi of the Ming Dynasty scolding the two loudly, many North Korean ministers at the scene gloated at their misfortune.

Because in this period of history, North Korea is still more towards the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Zhen was sweating profusely, and he already understood what Ding Yi meant.

He looked up at Xiang Ding Yi, and seeing the murderous intent in Ding Yi's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Regardless of Jin Cui's begging for mercy, he stood up suddenly: "Come on, take them down."

"Your Majesty." While screaming, the two were dragged down by the soldiers.

As soon as Ding Yi entered Nanhan Mountain City, he carried out some cleaning first, forcing Li Yu to behead all the main and surrender factions this time.

The traitors of the imperial court, led by Jin Rong and Cui Mingji, ransacked and beheaded the whole family, leaving no one behind.

All of a sudden, a bloody storm erupted in North Korea, which had just won the victory.

In history, North Korea was conquered by the Qing soldiers because of the role of these capitulation factions.

In the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang's three expeditions to Korea all ended in failure. The [-] troops of the Qing soldiers were not as good as Yang Guang's one million troops.

If they were determined to fight to the death from the beginning, and the members of the royal family moved to the rear, at the same time they fortified the walls and cleared the fields, traded space for time, stood firm in each city, and did not fight field battles.

Only because the peacemakers were the heroes of Li Zhen's rise to power, Li Zhen reused them. Under their persuasion, Li Zhen swayed from side to side, failed to make the best decision at the first time, and was finally conquered by the Qing Dynasty.

Ding Yi took this opportunity to force him to kill all the Lord and the surrender faction, so that North Korea would completely cut off ties with the Manchus.
