    The North Korean coaches and generals whipped their horses and fled back to Seoul.  The Qing military commander also whipped his horse and fled back to Seoul.  Then more than a hundred remaining soldiers of the Qing army whipped their fast horses and fled back to Seoul.  ¡°Then¡­Then the city gates of Seoul were closed tightly, refusing to open even if they were dead.  It can be seen that the North Korean soldiers who fled were really foresighted. Even if they fled to Seoul, they could not enter the city.  Might as well go to the countryside and play hide and seek.  Anyway, no matter what, this time the Qing army and the Korean army sent out more than 7,000 troops, but less than 200 came back.  But what makes people vomit blood even more is that after such a battle, the North Korean king and ministers still don't know where the enemy's army is.  It should be said that the Qing army commander and some Qing soldiers knew very well that they were coming from the newly established army of the Ping Dynasty.  But what can the Qing army commander say?  Are you exposing yourself as ugly?  You must know that North Korea¡¯s fear and awe of the Central Plains Dynasty are deeply rooted in the bones. Even after Toyotomi Hideyoshi¡¯s army invaded North Korea, the King of North Korea was willing to incorporate the entire North Korea into the territory of the Ming Dynasty and accept the protection of the Ming Dynasty.  So later North Korea simply went to the extreme. They did not develop their own armaments at all. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty fought for them!  In order to maintain their rule in North Korea, the Manchu Qing Dynasty not only made two expeditions to North Korea, but also publicized the incompetence of the Central Plains Dynasty and the strong military power of the Qing Dynasty in North Korea.  Therefore, whenever the Ming Dynasty won a victory in the war, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties made great propaganda against Korea.  Of course, this publicity is also quite watery.  The battle loss ratio between the two armies was even more exaggerated.  But after this disastrous defeat, could it be that the Qing army general said: What came was the army of the newly established Daping Dynasty in the Central Plains, and their combat effectiveness was no worse than that of the Qing army?  Even the Qing military officer had a masochistic tendency.  Then you can¡¯t slap yourself in the face!  So the Qing military commander obscured the enemy, changed the topic, and shirked responsibility, forcing the North Korean king to kill the civilian who commanded the North Korean army, and put the responsibility for the defeat on the Koreans.  "However, the North Korean monarchs and ministers did not see through the little trick of the Qing army commander, or in other words, they did not tell the truth even if they saw through it.  Since the Supreme Emperor has spoken, let him be happy by giving him the head of a minister.  But at this moment, North Korea's monarchs and ministers finally knew.  Whose army is coming?  This time Huang Dingxiang marched towards Seoul and did not hold back. He took the first group of Marines to arrive.  More than 2,400 people were brought out.  Since we have decided to go to Seoul, there is no need to keep troops in Incheon.  It's useless to leave one or two hundred people behind. They can't stop the possible North Korean army.  But if the whole group stays in Incheon.  That is also waiting for the North Korean army to come and besiege.  It would be better to bluff and attack the city walls of Seoul, scaring the Koreans so much that they cannot figure out the reality of the Daping Army.  As for the main force of the second batch of Gonzalez?  Anyway, there is no fort defense in Incheon Port, so it cannot stop the Marine Corps from forcing a landing.  Even if a North Korean army really came to stop it, North Korea's coastline is so long, wouldn't it just find another port to land at?  Therefore, Huang Ding only considered his own troops to gain victory.  To be honest, before the war, the Marine Corps had never thought about attacking Seoul.  Plus Gonzalez's men.  The first batch of Marines to land was only 7,000 people, and they had to go north to the Yalu River as soon as possible.  Put pressure on the Manchu Qing flanks, so they will not entangle themselves in the capital of Korea.  But what surprised Huang Ding was that the North Korean troops were so pustular.  There was no battle at all, and the North Korean troops, which were two or three times more numerous than themselves, would be completely defeated.  Then Huang Ding will definitely take advantage of the situation, so let's chase him all the way to the foot of Seoul!  Since we have chased to Seoul, we need to show off our power.  What about galloping around the city, what about scolding, whatever makes you sick.  But this disgusting move made the North Korean officials on the city wall realize that something was fishy.  The enemy troops that came here spoke plain Chinese!  When the news reached the ears of the King of Korea and several assistant ministers, they immediately had more ideas.  There are a lot of speculations about Han pirates, Chinese troops sent by the Celestial Empire, etc.  However, no matter how much they guessed, they would never get the real answer, so after some secret discussions, they planned to hide the truth from the Qing army in the city and privately send envoys out of the city to find out more.  That evening, a bold North Korean official fell from the hanging basket into the city and came to the camp of the Daping Army.  And Huang Ding also received the envoy.  Afterwards, Huang Ding declared to the envoy: This was the Central Empire's conquest of North Korea, and Huang Ding's troops were just the vanguard, and the tens of thousands of troops that followed were also on their way to North Korea.  This unexpected news immediately confused the envoy, and he quickly asked the reason why the Celestial Empire came to conquer.  So Huang Ding talked about the reasons for North Korea¡¯s treachery and pointed out: North Korea?The envoy did not pay homage at the founding ceremony of the Daping Dynasty. This was the contempt of the small country of Korea for the emperor of the Daping Dynasty. The Daping Dynasty would definitely destroy the small country of Korea.  As soon as this reason was mentioned, the messenger was immediately stunned.  And all of this is caused by poor information.  Because the sea route is blocked in winter, the land route is in the hands of the Manchus.  So until now, North Korea only knows that the city of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty has been breached and Emperor Chongzhen has died.  But they didn't know that Wu Shigong's Great Ping Dynasty had already been established.  And the North Korean envoy who was expelled at the founding ceremony is still living on the outskirts of Beijing because he cannot return to the country.  Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of North Korea did not know at all what happened at the founding ceremony of the Daping Dynasty.  Regarding the Daping Army's crusade and accusing North Korea of ??treachery, North Korea's monarchs and ministers can also find some reasons to defend themselves.  But now the envoy can't explain the Emperor Daping's inability to pay homage, because he doesn't know about it at all, so how can he explain it?  In desperation, we can only hand over the problem.  So the envoy said a lot of good things to Huang Ding, and then asked what conditions the Heavenly Army wanted?  Let North Korea eliminate this scourge of war?  Faced with the blackmail coming to his door, Huang Ding was not as open as a lion.  In addition to asking for a batch of grain and grass supplies, Huang Ding put forward three conditions: 1. Hand over the Qing army in Seoul and allow the Daping Army to station inside; 2. The Korean army must not hinder the Daping Army¡¯s military operations in North Korea; 3.  , Restore the suzerainty status of the Great Ping Dynasty to Korea.  Originally, Huang Ding wanted North Korea to send troops to fight the Qing army together.  But seeing the wretchedness of the North Korean army, Huang Ding was determined not to have such pig teammates.  No matter what, the North Korean envoy also gained something today.  After writing down the conditions proposed by Huang Ding, he was hoisted from the city wall into the city overnight and entered the palace to report.  At this time, the King of Korea and several auxiliary ministers were not resting. They were also eagerly looking forward to news about the envoy.  When they heard the conditions proposed by the Daping Army, they eagerly discussed it.  There was no objection to the other conditions, and they were all ready to agree to the Daping Army outside the city.  But regarding the first item, North Korea's monarchs and ministers were somewhat hesitant.  It was not because Seoul could not allow the Daping army to enter, but because the Qing army in the city had to be sacrificed.  The North Korean monarchs and ministers were afraid that this move would anger the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If the Great Ping Dynasty lost to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Qing army would come back to retaliate against North Korea.  And this discussion was postponed until dawn, so the situation of the battle changed suddenly again.  In the early morning of April 4th, four Daping Army gunboats sailed upstream from the mouth of the Han River and arrived near the water gate of Seoul, firing into the city.  And this burst of shelling suddenly frightened the Korean monarchs and ministers to wake up.  Then on April 5, the second batch of 4,100 Marines, led by Gonzalez, also landed at Inchon Port.  Also arriving with the fleet were hundreds of management personnel from the reclamation trading firm led by Chang Meng and five hundred trading firm escorts.  Since Gonzalez's fleet was led by the crew of the Zheng family, they did not go along the coastline, but in a straight line. In addition, the speed of the big ships was also faster, so this fleet was only slower than Huang Ding's.  The fleet was slow for several days.  When the two armies converged, the North Korean monarchs and ministers immediately made up their minds.  After all, the threat from the Daping Army is present, but the Qing Army's revenge is in the future. Let's get past the current hurdle first!  So the King of Korea secretly sent an envoy out of the city and proposed that the Qing army in the city could be sacrificed, but the Daping army must do it himself.  North Korea could only sneak the Ping army into the city and did not undertake the task of arresting the Qing army.  By this time, North Korea¡¯s monarchs and ministers were still deceiving themselves.  After that everything went smoothly.  There were only more than 300 Qing troops in Seoul, and they could not stop the nearly 7,000 Daping troops.  Coupled with the leading party sent by North Korea, the entire strangulation mission was without any surprises.  But as soon as the Daping army took control of Seoul, they immediately surrounded the palace and took control of the Korean king.  After all, Gonzalez came to colonize the East, and his colonial experience was quite rich.  So he would maintain colonial rule over North Korea by controlling the king and supporting a group of pro-China ministers in the North Korean court.  Then under the auspices of Chang Meng, the Daping Dynasty signed a series of treaties with North Korea: Jeju Island was ceded to the Daping Dynasty; the properties of North Korean ministers who were pro-Qing were confiscated and all were used as compensation for the Daping Dynasty; North Korea except the security forces  Outside the country, no army is allowed. The defense and diplomacy of the entire country will be borne by the Great Ping Dynasty, but North Korea will pay corresponding military expenses every year; it will purchase a large number of forest farms and mines in North Korea at cabbage prices and jointly develop them with the King of North Korea and pro-China ministers; fully implement the Chinese language  Education; comprehensive trade, etc.  The signing of this series of treaties will completely bring North Korea to the??Incorporated into the colonial rule of the Daping Dynasty.  Moreover, North Korea has no resistance to this series of treaties because they are accustomed to becoming a vassal state of the Central Empire.  Even North Korea's forests, mines, etc. were never developed because they were of no great use before.  Now, because of the development of the Reclamation Company, the King of Korea and the pro-China ministers have made a lot of money, so from the bottom of their hearts, they all support the "wise" rule of the Daping Dynasty.  By the end of April, when the second batch of the Daping Army¡¯s Marine Corps arrived, North Korea¡¯s garrison had reached more than 13,000 troops.  Gonzalez and Huang Ding left a thousand soldiers and merchants in Seoul to protect them, and they took the rest of the troops and began to advance north.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
