North Korea! Incheon!
In the past year or so, Incheon has unknowingly become the most prosperous city in North Korea besides Seoul and Pyongyang. Ships from the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and even the West are docked here day and night!
These ships brought rare goods and a large amount of silver from outside, but they only took away Korean people one family at a time!
According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, from the end of the first year of Tianqi to the beginning of the third year of Tianqi, there were a total of 700,000 slaves from North Korea to the Ming Dynasty!
Most of these slaves were sent to various parts of the Ming Dynasty to build roads, rivers and other facilities. Of course, some of them were of good quality and could read and write, and were bought by private individuals as servants. Some women were bought by people in remote places as slaves. Got a wife!
But no matter what, for a small country like North Korea with a population of only five to six million, it has lost 700,000 people in less than two years, and all of them are young men and women. This is definitely a major event that can shake the foundation of North Korea. !
It is a pity that even if insightful people in North Korea realize that this momentum will bring great disadvantages to North Korea, the people who dominate North Korea now are the post-Jin Manchus, especially the newly arrived eighth prince Huang Taiji, who brought 20,000 people with him. The Jin soldiers behind the Zhengbai Banner suppressed the North Korean officials and people to death, leaving them without any chance to breathe!
In order to plunder North Korea's wealth as much as possible, this eighth prince is not only very aggressive in taxation, but the most terrible thing is that he strongly supports the trafficking of North Koreans. It can be said that the reason why North Korea lost 700,000 people in more than a year is that It can be said that Huang Taiji took the greatest credit!
After Huang Taiji arrived in North Korea with his 20,000 Zhengbai flags, he arranged for 5,000 people to be stationed in Incheon and 5,000 people to be stationed in Seoul. The rest were plundering people and materials everywhere. It can be said that he completely regarded North Korea as his own vegetable garden. Clean it up however you want!
Although the North Korean King Li Hui and his ministers hated Huang Taiji's behavior, they had completely lost all military power. Even the imperial guards around them were soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty. The reason why the Later Jin Dynasty kept them was It's just for show, otherwise these people's heads would have been snapped off!
In this situation, the North Korean King Li Hui and his ministers really had nothing to do but obey, so in order to show their loyalty, this group of people also sincerely joined the ranks of plundering the people of their country!
Originally, Huang Taiji had a very happy life in Korea, but starting from February of the third year of Tianqi, ships from the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and the West stopped coming. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty merchants in Incheon also quietly left. , which made Huang Taiji a little surprised, and also had a bad premonition!
In order to prevent accidents, Huang Taiji sent 3,000 troops to Incheon. At the same time, he ordered the troops stationed in Incheon to be more vigilant, and released all Koreans who were captured and intended to be sold. In order to solve Incheon's supplies, Huang Taiji also ordered people to raid Seoul. , grain and grass around Pyongyang were quickly delivered to Incheon!
It must be said that Huang Taiji was a very visionary military strategist, and his series of preparations paid off in March, because on the fifth day of March in the third year of Tianqi, the Liaodong Navy of the Ming Dynasty dispatched twenty-four Western warships. Five hundred ships escorted more than 20,000 infantry and cavalrymen from Liaodong Town to land on Incheon Beach, and quickly surrounded the city of Incheon!
Facing the menacing Ming army, the Hou Jin soldiers stationed in Incheon did not pay too much attention, because in their eyes, Incheon now has abundant troops and food. As long as they can withstand two days, Huang Taiji's troops will arrive. , when the time comes, the inside and outside will cooperate, and we will definitely defeat the Ming army!
It's just that ideals are plump and reality is skinny. Pu Yanshun, the governor of Incheon, was bribed by Mao Wenlong long ago. Mao Wenlong only asked him to do one thing, which was to bury enough people in the four walls of Incheon City. gunpowder!
On the first night of the siege of Incheon City, Mao Wenlong first asked the artillery to fire more than 300 incendiary bombs into the city of Incheon!
In the war between Japan and Japan, this kind of artillery shell with average explosive power but capable of causing large-scale fires was highly praised. For this attack on North Korea, Mao Wenlong applied for deployment based on the characteristics of densely packed houses in the city and all of them were made of wood. Five thousand incendiary bombs!
When the city of Incheon burst into flames and the Houjin soldiers stationed there rushed up the city wall, the city wall of Incheon City exploded violently almost at the same time!
In the explosion, all four walls of Incheon City were destroyed. The Hou Jin soldiers stationed in Incheon lost at least 3,000 people. The rest were also frightened. They either ran around in the burning city of Incheon or flew out of Incheon City desperately. Run!
However, those who ran around in the city of Incheon were inevitably killed in the sea of ????fire, and those who rushed out of the city were shot and killed by the Ming army surrounding Incheon. Only a few people escaped through the gaps in the Ming army's encirclement!
The impregnable Incheon City run by Huang Taiji was destroyed overnight. Of the 8,000 defenders, less than 3,000 escaped alive. The rest were either killed in battle or captured. At the same time, more than 10,000 people in Incheon City suffered casualties. The entire Incheon can be said to be overnight were razed to the ground!
After capturing Incheon, Mao Wenlong did not continue to pursue the interior of North Korea, but directly led his troops to withdraw and headed straight for the Yalu River along the coastline!
After Huang Taiji, who was in Seoul, received the news that Incheon was besieged, he did not panic at all. Instead, he was complacent because his judgment was correct!
But Huang Taiji¡¯s good mood did not last long. On his way to Incheon with his troops, he encountered the defeated soldiers running back from Incheon!
"How is Incheon?" When Huang Taiji saw the defeated soldiers, he gritted his teeth and asked this question with an extremely obvious answer!
"Master Baylor, Incheon is gone!" A defeated soldier who escaped knelt down and cried, obviously he was greatly stimulated!
Under the influence of this defeated soldier, the other defeated soldiers also knelt down and cried loudly. The cry of more than two thousand disgraced defeated soldiers was so loud that it even stunned Huang Taiji!
Huang Taiji has followed his father Nurhachi in east and west expeditions since he was a child, and it is not that he has never suffered defeats. But when did he see the wolves and tigers of the Hou Jin soldiers under his command, and cry like this?
Huang Taiji could naturally see that these defeated soldiers were not at a disadvantage in the war, they were simply losing the city. They were frightened out of their wits, but what happened to them that frightened these people like this?
Huang Taiji didn't believe that these soldiers were not brave enough, because the soldier who was talking to him once served as his bodyguard. He had seen with his own eyes that this man killed more than a dozen civilians in the Battle of Sarhu. The army fled!
But now this man is crying like a baby. How can he look like a warrior at all?
With questions in his mind, Huang Taiji jumped off his horse, picked up the defeated soldier, and roared, "Tell me clearly, what happened to Incheon?"
After Huang Taiji yelled like this, the defeated soldier finally woke up a little, but his eyes were still full of panic. Ai Hao said: "Master Beile, Incheon is gone, completely gone. The Ming army blew up the city wall of Incheon and burned Incheon." It became a white field, and the brothers finally managed to escape. It¡¯s not that the brothers are afraid of fighting, but that they really can¡¯t fight!¡±
Huang Taiji finally figured out what was going on. He let go of the defeated soldier and stared gloomily in the direction of Inchon. After a long time, Huang Taiji growled unwillingly: "Send the order! The whole army marches to Pyongyang!"
Horse hooves rumble!
Huang Taiji took the remaining more than 14,000 people, bypassed Seoul, and rushed directly to Pyongyang!
Huang Taiji¡¯s idea is simple. He has too few soldiers and horses. If he sticks to Seoul, he has no chance of winning. It is better to retreat directly to Pyongyang to see the situation!
If the Ming army does not continue to attack, they will stay in Pyongyang and wait and see what happens. However, if the Ming army's offensive momentum does not decrease, then they will continue to retreat and run back to Liaodong. In short, we cannot easily fight with the Ming army!
Huang Taiji knew very well that there were only so many Zhengbai Banners under his command. If the losses were too great, even if the Ming army was defeated, he would no longer be able to peek at the throne of the Great Khan!
