Chapter 450: The plan is huge, it is easy to do

"Sir, there are hundreds of North Korean soldiers guarding the city in Incheon. Don't these people need to be killed?"

The two young businessmen sitting in the tavern looked like they were subordinates. After the men in green reported that the Manchu soldiers were killed, the businessman sitting on the right bowed to ask.

The man sitting on the left had already stood up and took off the merchant's robe on his body. He was wearing light armor inside. The soldiers in blue clothes were handed over various weapons. He wore them one by one and replied with a smile:

"Mr. Zheng doesn't have to worry too much. When these Korean soldiers appeared in Jiaozhou, these cowards immediately kowtowed and surrendered, and explained clearly the reality of the Tartar soldiers and horses in the city, even their families. Such sheep can be regarded as a coolie."

The person called "Mr. Zheng" stood up, his smile became more pleasing, and he said:

"General Xiao Wang has made great contributions this time, and his future will inevitably be limitless."

When he said this, General Wang on the other side smiled first, then looked much more serious and said:

"Mr. Zheng, the only ones that can be called a general in our Jiaozhou camp are Pingnan and the two of Zhengxi. Wang Hai is now just a general, so we must not break the rules."

The Mr. Zheng nodded and took off his long gown, revealing his short dress, which was the outfit of a sea sailor crew member.

Wang Hai walked out of the restaurant, looked around, and asked the people around him in a solemn voice:

"Did any of the Tartars and Korean soldiers in Incheon escape?"

Immediately, a big man in green answered:

"No, when our army launched, we were already guarding the levels everywhere, so it was sure that it was foolproof."

Wang Hai nodded and asked again:

"Have news from Seoul been heard?"

"Report to the master, the news has not been heard over there yet."

From Seoul to Incheon, although there are land connections, there is also a Han River waterway. However, one-way trip takes one day to one day and a half. Wang Hai pondered there for a little while and said loudly:

"If we can pull those Tartars out, we will have less trouble. If we can't pull them out, we will bring the cannon this time and it will be impossible to blow them away directly."

These words seemed like orders or talk to oneself. After saying that, Wang Hai turned around and said to Mr. Zheng, who was standing in the store:

"Mr. Zheng, can the ships on the sea come over. Can the ships enter the port at night?"

The Mr. Zheng walked out the door, raised his hand and tried the wind speed down the wind, and answered:

"I also have to send a boat to inform me. Now the wind is low. If I come here, I will have to go tomorrow morning at the earliest."

Wang Hai thought about it and said:

"Mr. Zheng, this time I came to North Korea, Wang certainly had an opportunity to make achievements. Isn't Mr. Zheng? His status in the clan this time is probably different? You and I cooperate well. Seize this opportunity so that we will not regret it when we are down in the future."

Originally, Wang Hai's personality would not be so cautious, but seeing that the brothers were all generals at that time, the generals now have given him such an opportunity, and he must grasp it well. Although the army is very sure of the small country, he is still cautious every step and dare not make any minor mistakes.

The Mr. Zheng who followed him was Zheng Sha’s son. If it were Zheng Jiao, the Zheng family was named in the area, either on the beast or on the ferocious aquarium. Now, the Zheng family, the three sons of the Zheng family, are of course the core of the unquestionable core. If the children of the side branches want to get a higher position in the Zheng family, they also depend on the merits they have made outside.

This time, he brought the fleet to North Korea. Zheng Zhibao was still serving as a hostage, which involved the Zheng family's future honor and disgrace and wealth. He must choose a person with confidence to lead the team.

However, this matter seems dangerous. After careful consideration, there is no difficulty. Whoever comes is a great achievement, and the children of the Zheng family are also flocking to it. Of course, the Zheng family is called the family, but in fact it is like a local vassal state, and various systems cannot be played by family affection.

In the end, Zheng Sha had great face and contributions, and this good job fell on his room. Zheng Jiao had been traveling back and forth between Nanzhili and Shandong for several years. He was familiar with the land and people, so he was of course familiar with it.

The Ming Dynasty forbids the sea, and North Korea also followed suit, so Incheon is a good port, but it is very small. At this scale, it is the Ming Dynasty's profit-willed maritime merchants who began to use this port in order to trade with the Qing Dynasty.

There are many Han people in the port, and a small number of Japanese people. The number of Koreans does not have an absolute advantage. However, compared with the cowardice of the inland people in North Korea, the Koreans here are all unable to make a living in the inland world. When there are too many people from south to north, they are also a little brave.

As the end of the year approaches, Incheon will have more than 20 days of sea ice harbor in winter, so in late October, there are basically no ships coming here.

But in September and October this year, the large-scale cargo was not arrived. These people planned to be one of the houses early. Who would have thought that a few days ago, more than a dozen Zheng family cargo ships docked and entered the port. After working in the port for a long time, these people all understood in their hearts that the Zheng family was the first maritime merchant in the Ming Dynasty and sold bulk goods every time.

Although I was a few days late this time, according to the rules of the past, when the Zheng family's goods came, merchants from other families would definitely come with me, taking advantage of the New Year to make some extra money.

The Zheng family brought too many sailors in the land this time, all of whom were strong men. The Koreans who worked hard on the docks were a little dissatisfied, thinking that you would still have to compete with us for this small amount of money. With more sailors, more laborers are used to transport goods, and less money is spent on hiring.

Who would have thought that the other party brought so many people not for transport, but for killing people. In almost two days, the powerful Qing soldiers in Incheon City were all killed, and the Korean soldiers who were pretending to be powerful were also taken care of.

After a military disaster, everyone knew that something big would happen. If they wanted to stay away from here, the "Zheng family sailors" refused to let them go. The people of all ethnic groups in Incheon were extremely nervous.

The Koreans in Incheon City all knew the power of the Qing army and wanted to not tell the officials about the incident in the city, and they might have to cause a lot of trouble. Although the city was strictly sealed, many people still made up their minds and must go to nearby places to report to the officials when they opened the city and released people.

This is also considered that weak nations also have weak ways to resist, but Incheon City has been particularly quiet these two days. The North Koreans in the city know that it was the next morning, on October 14th, and Incheon City will no longer be closed down, allowing people to enter and exit freely.

However, the next morning, the people in the city who were interested in reporting the news completely gave up. The small port of Incheon was already filled with big ships.

Teams of soldiers descended from the ship, lined up at the port and drove to the open space east of Incheon to gather. All the idle people in the city were confiscated to the port to transport various supplies and cargo. Some ships were even loaded with horses. In order to inform the people, they saw the cannons unloaded on the ship. They had never seen such a weapon. They had never seen such a mighty and elite soldier.

Seeing such force, everyone was timid. Even if they were letting them out, they would not dare to report the news. It was a war disaster. It would be better to escape to a remote place as soon as possible.

But now, even if these people want to leave, they may not be able to leave. All the active young and strong people in the city have been conscripted for the people. They transport supplies for the army, and those who leave without authorization will be killed.

In theory, the soldiers must have a brief rest after disembarking from the ship for this long-distance transportation, but some of the soldiers who came across the sea formed a team after disembarking, and directly headed towards Seoul under the guidance of people.

Incheon Port is not big, with more than 5,000 soldiers and supplies and cannons and other items carried by him. From the morning to the evening, Wang Hai was in North Korea with his lonely army this time, and he had to be careful in everything. Although he had a special military officer and subordinates responsible for inspection, he still personally inspected those important materials, artillery, muskets and corresponding things.

However, there is one thing that is relatively convenient in North Korea, that is gunpowder, because North Korea also has a firearms and soldiers. Therefore, the arsenals everywhere store some gunpowder. These materials are collected on-site, which can make Shandong more convenient.

Wang Hai brought two thousand elite troops from the experimental brigade in Jinan. After arriving at Dengzhou Prefecture, he drew 3,000 people from the subordinates of Denglai General Zhao Neng, and took the Zheng family's sea boat to the Incheon Port from the back of the Weihaiwei military port.

Although Incheon Port is the maritime gateway of Seoul, as long as you land at this port, you can go straight to Seoul along the Han River, there is no defense here, that is, more than one hundred Tartar soldiers, more than three hundred North Korean soldiers, or the locals here did not expect anyone to come from the sea.

Whether it was the Qing Dynasty or North Korea, there was no idea about sea things. It seemed that in the history of normal development, although Kong Youde once led his troops to flee north from Dengzhou Prefecture City, the Qing Dynasty never thought of attacking Shandong from the sea and landing in Shandong. In fact, there was the Changshan Islands, which was a very convenient thing.

They believed that there would be no enemy attacking from the sea, which did not mean that the enemy would not come from the sea. The elite troops of Jiaozhou camp cooperated with the Zheng family's fleet transportation capacity and deployed 5,000 people in North Korea, which was enough.

According to Wang Hai's prior estimate, after the troops here landed, they sent messages there at noon, but the person who came to report the message did not give an accurate reply.

Some things are very clear, saying that the Tartar soldiers in the city were all drawn out, and set up ambush and intercepted on the roads between Seoul and Incheon, which was completely wiped out, but the ambush was about three or four hundred. After annihilated the Tartars, the leader ordered everyone to change into the Tartars' clothes and ride back to the city.

The soldiers of the experimental brigade were actually equivalent to non-commissioned officers from other departments. They were the most elite soldiers in Shandong. They had certain independent combat capabilities.

Wang Hai gave them the task of luring out all the Tartars in the city to kill them, because they were afraid that the Tartars in the city would go to other places to seek help, or close the city gates and guard them.

Close the city gate and guard it. Although the Koreans in the city have no combat power, Seoul is a big city at least, and it takes effort to take it down. Moreover, if these 400 Tartars supervise the battle, things will be somewhat troublesome.

But after killing the Tartars, it is difficult to guarantee that the North Koreans in the city will report to the Tartars in Pyongyang or Liaodong without distinguishing the reality. Although the defense of the Qing army in this area is empty, there are still more than 5,000 troops to mobilize. At that time, it will be a big problem.

These soldiers intercepting the Tartars on the road were really bachelors. Considering these aspects, they simply used risk and pretended to be. Anyway, during this period, they also learned a little about the terrain in Seoul, especially where these Tartar military camps were.

They put on the clothes that killed the Tartars, wiped them with blood and the ripples, and then got on their horses and ran towards the city.

The Korean civil and military officials in Seoul did not expect that the seemingly crazy Han people were ambushing the city outside the city. These North Korean officials were only thinking about how to calm the anger of the Qing Dynasty's soldiers and horses and not bring disaster to themselves.

Almost no North Koreans saw the ambush at close range. All the people in the land ran far away in fear. They only knew that the battle was very fierce, and what these people saw were what Seoul knew.

When it was getting dark, they saw hundreds of cavalry appearing in their sight. After seeing these people dressed and dressed, they were the Qing soldiers who ran out in the daytime. The soldiers guarding the city were ordered to open the city in a stack of voices. Seeing that these soldiers in the upper country were tired of killing, it would be better to open the city gate quickly and not make them angry.

The "Manchu soldiers and horses" rushed straight into the city gate, and did not stop on the street, rushing back to their own barracks.

The officials from North Korea finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty had already vented all their anger. I believe that all the Han people who were crazy about their hearts were killed. When the Qing Dynasty soldiers left the city, these people could not figure out why the honest Han merchants suddenly made such a move.

It seems that Wen Lihan once snatched the daughter of a Ming merchant in May. Although the daughter finally hanged herself, it has been a few months since then, so she will not only bring it up now.

However, these things have nothing to do with our North Korea, so we should send the women who drink and meat to the camp first. Let these soldiers from the country not continue to get angry.

The Qing soldiers stationed in Seoul were particularly angry tonight. After returning to the camp, they closed the door. All the labor supplies raised by North Korea were blocked.

It doesn't matter if there is no supplies, as long as you don't come out and vent your anger at the North Korean civilians. The North Korean ruler was not vague and immediately ordered the city defense of Seoul to arrest the Han people in the city overnight. In addition to merchants, North Korea also has many Han people engaged in other business operations. This time they arrested them together.

Now North Korea is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. As for the Han people of the Ming Dynasty, what should he do?

The Qing Dynasty had more than a dozen left-behind personnel in the military camp of Seoul. These flag guards realized that something was wrong, but what could be done by more than a dozen of them and were immediately cut off by random knives.

It was not until the next day that the North Korean servants who went to the ambush site to investigate discovered that something was wrong. After the bodies buried at the scene were dug out, they could clearly see the rat tail of the money on the back of their heads, which is the braids of the Eight Banners soldiers in the Jurchens. The yamen runners who came to investigate immediately panicked. Since there were Jurchens here, who was in the city?

The servants who came here to explore quickly gathered the nearby civilians, and even passers-by were asked to work as a laborer, and dug out all the bodies buried yesterday.

The more I dug, the more I felt nervous. Every body was stripped naked. There was a braid behind my head. The only thing I could do at this time was to notify Seoul as soon as possible. Without waiting for them to set off, I saw a soldier who was not a Korean army or a Qing army and drove over in a swagger.

This team looks like more than a thousand people, with excellent soldiers and imposing momentum. The foreign army has no intention of hiding itself at all, just like marching in its own country.

The pedestrians on the road were in chaos and were in chaos. No one dared to stop the army. Looking at the direction of the action of this foreign army, it seemed that Seoul was located, the royal city of North Korea. Those who had some brains and knowledge were a lot of knowledge, thought of the past when the Japanese army crossed the sea.

Seeing that these armies are clearly Han people, is it because our North Korea surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty finally sent people to punish them?

As the sect leader of North Korea for three hundred years, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to save North Korea from the danger of destruction in Wanli. The pressure of this heavenly power in the hearts of the North Koreans is not something that people from other countries can understand.

Whether it is the pedestrians on the road or the North Korean servants who investigate the bodies, they all have a sense of despair. Could it be that North Korea is about to perish?

All the Koreans who encountered this Han army did not expect to report to Seoul or the nearby government. Their first reaction was to run away. The farther away from this Seoul, the better. The Ming army came to punish him, which was truly powerful.

About three miles outside Seoul, more than 3,000 North Korean soldiers and horses were stationed. These more than 3,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 city guards in the city are the most powerful armed forces around Seoul.

The more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in Suli are firmly in the hands of the ruling government. They cultivate the most fertile land around Seoul for the chief minister of North Korea. Moreover, the minor chaos in the Seoul Palace was pacified by these troops. They can be said to be elite. Of course, this is just the elite of North Korea.

The truly capable troops in North Korea are basically in the areas bordering the Qing Dynasty. This place has always been fighting against the Qing Dynasty and some Jurchen tribes of the Qing Dynasty. The soldiers have some combat effectiveness. For example, the North Korean musket soldiers who killed the five ministers of the Qing Dynasty were questioned by Fei Yanggu.

Therefore, these soldiers in northern Korea are the main forces drawn by the Qing Dynasty. They all require North Korean musketeers to follow in major and minor wars. Of course, this may also mean that they can consume North Korea's ability to fight troops.

In theory, an army of unknown countries appeared around its own royal city. As an army guarding nearby, it should come out to interrogate and intercept. This is their duty.

The partial division sent from Jiaozhou Camp could already see the city walls of Seoul. The North Korean army stationed on the side of the road did see this rapid partial division.

The general of the North Korean army stationed outside Seoul had a very terrifying title. The garrison troops in Seoul were thousands of households, but his courage was obviously not as good as his official title. After hesitating, he sent several officers to ask where the sudden appearance of the army came from.

An unidentified army appeared on the edge of his country's capital. As an officer guarding the capital, he did not immediately lead his troops to start a war to block the attack, but instead sent someone to inquire. It can be seen that North Korea is already at its root.

This is the so-called result of the nobles and the inferiority of the martial arts. North Korea has put forward the Ming Dynasty's style of focusing on literary affairs and neglecting military courage more thoroughly, so such jokes will appear in this end of the world.

To these North Korean military officers who were tremblingly asking, the partial division led by Wang Hai answered their questions with muskets. The two military officers were immediately knocked down, and several others rolled and crawled back to their camp.

It was indeed the enemy who attacked Seoul. This North Korean soldier was in trouble. He and his subordinates fought in recent years and all the wars were used as tenants for farming. How could they go out to fight with the enemies outside? The only thing they could do was to set off firecrackers and warn Seoul to prepare in advance!

The first cannon was released. The partial division of Jiaozhou Camp had already rushed into the camp. The troops of more than a thousand people in Shandong did not want to have thousands of enemy troops around them.

The simple battle made the guards who led this partial division unbelievable. The battle began with rushing into the North Korean military camp, and at the end, it also rushed into the camp. Seeing the officers and soldiers of Jiaozhou camp like wolves and tigers, these North Korean troops and the Wanhu family chose to surrender very quickly.

The partial division of the landing troops had no intention of accepting surrender, but it was difficult to kill these 3,000 people, so they simply dispersed them all. Such cowardly soft men must have no courage to kill them back secretly. As expected, these North Korean peasants ran faster than rabbits and did not look back.

The cannon still alarmed the city defense force in Seoul. Since the enemy is attacking, closing the city gate is the top priority. The Shandong troops outside the city were a little anxious at this time. Originally, they wanted to enter the city while the chaos was in chaos. Now the city gate is closed. With the equipment of these light troops, it is unrealistic to want to attack for a strong attack.

However, the city gate was closed for about an hour, and the south gate was opened from the city again. The reason was naturally very simple. After the elite Jiaozhou camp who pretended to be the Tartars soldiers, they immediately mobilized all the troops outside the city and rushed to the south gate. The North Korean city defense soldiers at the south gate had no idea what had happened, and were killed by the "Mingguo soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty".
