Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 637 Conspiracy of Ming Dynasty in Korean Concession Area

Li Ze, the North Korean general, did not expect such a scene to be fought against the Ming army.

Suddenly, the North Korean officers and soldiers on my side were like leeks being frantically harvested by the Ming army.

At this time, he had completely lost any will to fight, but he also forgot to retreat, sat down on the ground, and murmured:
"Why is it like this? Why is it like this? My God! When did Daming become so terrifying!"

The North Korean officers and soldiers have no time to take care of their general Li Ze. They are now being shot and killed by the Ming army like living targets.

……

Pull the bolt!

aim!

Pull the trigger!

Exit the shell!
……

Sweep!

Change clips!
Empty the shells!

……

Reload!

aim!

Pull the trigger!

……

The officers and soldiers of the Daming Machine Artillery Battalion and the Infantry Battalion mechanically operated the rifled weapons in their hands.

And these North Korean officers and soldiers burst or fell down one by one like balloons in the sound of gunfire. They staggered and crawled on the ground, while others knelt on the ground and cried for mercy.

But it didn't end there.

Daming is an industrialized empire, and the war machine it presents is no longer a simple classical war, but a massacre of human flesh like a mixer.

It does not mean that when the opponent reaches the collapse rate, the war will be declared over. If the opponent retreats, the own side will win.

This is just the inherent classical way of understanding war by North Korean officers and soldiers.

The war machine presented by the Ming Dynasty is already a war of mass destruction, a Shura hell that will use a lot of gunpowder and steel to wipe out hundreds of thousands of people.

Since the beginning of intensive firepower strikes with firearms, the cruelty of war has escalated again.

Although it is not as devastating as a nuclear war, at least it is no longer as simple as tens of thousands of people shooting at tens of thousands of people.

……

North Korean general Li Ze was shot with tens of thousands of bullets from the machine gun battalion and infantry battalion of the Guards, and was riddled with holes.

It was beaten like a kite shaking, and it fell to the ground beside the broken wall in a sluggish way.

His body was covered in bullet holes and blood was bubbling.

He stared wide-eyed, as if still unwilling to watch the defense of Uiju that he worked so hard for was broken by the Ming Army and even killed all 12 Korean officers and soldiers of his own!

More and more Ming troops gathered here.

The Sixth Army of the Ming Dynasty Guards Army has a total of more than 15 people, all of which are steel guns and cannons. It is like a giant steel beast appearing in Uiju City, and it feels like a dark cloud is overwhelming the city.

However, at this time, there was no North Korean officer and soldier under the city of Uiju.

A mile around is full of bullet casings and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.

Suddenly a heavy rain fell, washing the blood into bright red streams, turning the entire Yizhou City into a red world.

And it just so happened that it was the bright red and hard black that allowed Da Ming to once again stand proudly on this land.

……

After occupying Uiju City and annihilating the 12 fresh troops of North Korea, the Sixth Army of the Ming Dynasty Guards continued to march south toward Xichuan City.

Xichuan City is an important city located in the upper reaches of the Datong River.

Once the Sixth Army of the Ming Dynasty Guards Army occupies Xichuan City, it means that it can go straight to Pyongyang City in North Korea along the Datong River.

At this time, the First Army of the Ming Dynasty Guards Army, under the leadership of Yan Yingyuan, governor of the Northeast, has captured Huining, Qingjin, Sanshui, Jiangjie, Pingshan, Jince, and Beiqing with lightning speed. Wait for the city.

The entire North Hamgyong Province, except for Hamheung Prefecture, is in the hands of Daming!

Among them, nearly 20 Korean troops were lost at the hands of the First Army of the Guards Army.

After all, Yan Yingyuan is now a famous general of Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou, Li Dingguo and other powerful figures who were once defeated by him. Now that Ming Dynasty is the strongest, it is not difficult to even defeat several cities in North Korea in less than a month.

At this time, the North Korean king Li Hao in Pyongyang City of North Korea and the princes and ministers of North Korea did not know that their country was about to be destroyed.

King Li Hao of North Korea had just learned that his North Korean soldiers had conquered Jiulian City, but he didn't know that Daming's army had already approached the Datong River, and it would take half a month to reach his Pyongyang city. However, he was extremely excited and said to his ministers on the spot :

"You have repeatedly said that we can't provoke Daming, saying that provoking Daming is like seeking skin from a tiger, but now you see this is the good news from General Li Ze. Jiulian City has been captured by us. I believe that our North Korean army will be able to take it in a short time. The Xiatieling Guard and the Kangzhou Guard! They even came to the city of Shenyang and forced the Ming Dynasty to sign an alliance under the city. At that time, you don’t have to be a vassal anymore, and you can call yourself the emperor!"

"I congratulate Your Highness, Your Highness, but now that we have expanded our troops to 60 troops in North Korea, our military expenditures have been exhausted, and the imperial court can't increase taxes, otherwise the officials will force the people to rebel. Now the Great Ming Concession is in the Qingzhou of North Korea. Wealth is very rich, and I heard that the tax revenue has reached tens of millions of silver dollars per year, so I thought that since we have turned against each other, we might as well send troops to take back Qingzhou that belongs to us, and take back the customs duties controlled by the Ming Dynasty Maritime Bureau in Qingzhou. , so as to solve the tense situation of North Korea’s military expenditure.”

At this time, Cui Guoxiao, the highest ruling civil official in North Korea, made a suggestion.

After hearing this, King Li Hao of North Korea thought deeply:
"What Aiqing said is very true. I have decided that General Li Jie will immediately send [-] troops to take back Gyeongju's tax rights and the concession area. All Han Chinese in Gyeongju will be deported and their property will be confiscated!"

……

When King Li Hao of North Korea saw that Gyeongju was far more prosperous and prosperous than Pyongyang after the Ming Concession, he began to make an idea of ​​Gyeongju. The island navy also began to receive a secret order from the Generalissimo's Mansion from Jinyiwei, and began to plan to transfer the Daming Navy from Guganluo Island to Gyeongju, and plotting Busan by the way, for the purpose of obtaining a landing port for the Ming Navy's Beiyang Fleet.

Guganluo Island is the naval base established by the Ming Navy in North Korea.

Over the years, Ming has been developing this island, sending more navy, and focusing on training the Marine Corps, so that one day it will be easier to control the mainland of the Korean Kingdom.

Today, Guganluo Island has more than [-] marines from the Ming Dynasty, and its size is already equal to the number of marines in a fleet of Ming Dynasty.

For Daming, Gyeongju must not be handed over to North Korea.

After all, Gyeongju is now the hub of Ming's trade with North Korea, controlling the center of North Korea's foreign trade, and bringing a lot of overseas income to Ming every year.

There have even been many government and civilian merchants of the Ming Dynasty who have settled here for more than ten years.

Daming has long regarded this place as his own private garden, so how could he tolerate North Korean authorities getting involved.

At this time, the garrison corps in the Daming Concession in Gyeongju City had already sensed that North Korea was plotting to gain wealth in its own concession, and had already begun to implement vigilance, pulled up iron fences, and issued an order that "Korean people and dogs are not allowed to enter!"

Koreans working in the concession area of ​​the Ming Dynasty need to be served by the Ming Dynasty, speak the language of the Ming Dynasty, and have a residence permit issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the Ming Dynasty in order to stay in the concession area, otherwise they will be expelled.
