Chapter 536: Three Thousand Miles of Broken Rivers and Mountains


After experiencing an unforgettable so-called bloody battle, Li Zhujun and his ministers survived the disaster.

In the end, they had to rely on the rescue of the Ming Dynasty reinforcements.

Although it was such a small group of more than 200 people, it saved the lives of all the people in Hanyang.

The most important thing is to prevent the Korean royal family from falling into the hands of the barbarians.

This saves the face of all Koreans.

Is there anything more important than this?

If Li Zhu and others were captured by the barbarians, in the eyes of the Koreans, compared with the shame of Jingkang hundreds of years ago in the Central Plains, the last writing could make the Koreans ashamed for thousands of years.

The history books of later generations would not know how to criticize the monarchs and ministers.

That would be really Stinking for thousands of years.

Li Zhu was quite particular about people and never forgot about the well diggers.

He rushed from West City to North City immediately after Jianu retreated.

No matter what, he had to thank Zhao Lie in person.

"Thank you so much, Lord Tomorrow, and thank you General Zhao for saving the people in Hanyang City.

Please pay my respects to the lonely king."

When Li Zhu saw Zhao Lie this time, he felt grateful.

Of course, the one he was most grateful for at this time was the Emperor of Heaven.

Although Zhao Lie was the general rushing to the rescue, this battle was also commanded by Zhao Lie.

But without the Ming Dynasty, how could he, Zhao Lie, come to help?

Even though he was not called upon, he was still fighting for the Ming Dynasty and supporting North Korea in its anti-slavery struggle.

"So that the king will know that with the civil unrest in the Ming Dynasty and the attack of Jiannu, the imperial court no longer has the financial resources to aid North Korea again," Han Jian was extremely uneasy about Li Zhu's constant mention of the emperor.

He had already scolded the so-called King of Joseon in his heart.

He couldn't find the rightful owner even if he thanked him.

What else could he do?

"This time my lord sent troops without an imperial edict.

Your Majesty must be aware of the crime of sending troops without an imperial edict.

The reason why my lord did this is because North Korea has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty cannot allow North Korea to be bullied by slaves."

The meaning of Han Jian's words is very clear.

Wait for the monarch and his ministers to figure out that it was my lord who sent troops to Korea without permission this time.

There will be punishments from the court and the emperor later.

"My king and my ministers are extremely grateful to Mr.

Zhao.

Without Mr.

Zhao and the Denglai Army, Hanyang will not be safe.

My king will be very grateful."

Jin Liu heard the elegant meaning of the string song and immediately changed his expression of gratitude. object.

Zhao Lie looked at Han Jian after hearing this, and Han Jian understood immediately.

"Since Mr.

Jin has talked about this matter, after Jiannu withdraws his troops, we will have a good discussion about the departure expenses and salaries for the Denglai army.

Mr.

Jin will not regret it then."

Han Jian said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the Denglai army rushed thousands of miles to help preserve the kindness of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

My king will definitely reward you heavily."

Even so, Jin Liu felt his heart palpitate when he saw Han Jian's white teeth exposed when he smiled.

I guess the rough guy on the other side is going to make a lion open his mouth.

This topic has come to an end.

After all, Jiannu has not withdrawn from the army.

It is a bit early to say this, but the foreshadowing is laid here.

All the Qing troops returned to the main camp, and they also deployed manpower to escort the Koreans who were scattered in the wilderness.

For the Qing Dynasty, manpower was important at all times.

"Your Majesty, the best thing is for our army to withdraw.

After all, as long as Zhao Lie's troops enter the fortified city, it will be difficult for our army to capture it, and we are afraid of heavy losses."

Dorgon stepped forward and spoke.

The losses of the Qing army this time were really small, with more than 200 people killed in the battle, and hundreds more injured.

However, the reason why the battle losses were so small was because the Koreans were in the front, and now nearly two dozen people were paved under the city.

Thousands of Korean corpses.

Without them, the Qing army would not have enough to fill with thousands of corpses.

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Dorgon was absolutely unwilling to attack the fortified city guarded by the bandits.

Even if he captured it, the gains would outweigh the losses.

"We can't withdraw our troops like this.

The emperor's southern expedition to North Korea is to force North Korea to surrender.

Now the overwhelming force surrounds Hanyang.

The King of North Korea is so close.

How can we withdraw our troops like this?"

Hauge was very dissatisfied.

He was really unwilling to do so.

Along the way, the Qing army went smoothly, and the Korean army they encountered was simply vulnerable.

It can be said that the damage was slight, which was much smoother than the previous battle of Dingmao.

This shows that the Qing army's military strength has greatly increased, but the Korean army is still as sluggish as ever.

The Qing army has gained a crushing advantage, and it can be said that the situation is excellent.

But it was Zhao Lie who blocked the front of the army in Hanyang.

He was simply the biggest scourge of the Qing Dynasty.

This bastard was indispensable wherever he went.

Of course, Hauge was extremely depressed.

"If you don't withdraw your troops, how can you attack the fortress?

Tens of thousands of corpses are lying there under the city.

Are you going to let our Qing soldiers die in vain under Hanyang City?"

Dorgon looked down upon Hauge.

He thought Hauge was brave.

Wumu has never been able to judge the situation, but he just has a noble status.

"Why can't we besiege the city?

Although there is not much food nearby, we can send more cavalry to the east and south to seize some food and grass.

After two months of siege, with so many people in Hanyang City, they are the first to be unable to hold out.

At that time, Zhao Lie will The troops took the initiative to go out to fight in the city."

Haug retorted.

"Niu Lu below has already reported.

Before our army arrived, the North Korean army sent out a large number of troops to collect grain from within a hundred miles.

It is said that the quantity is very large.

It will be no problem to hold on for several months.

How to siege the city?

I am afraid that there will be no one in the end.

I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for the food.”

Dorgon argued hard.

He knew Hauge's weaknesses clearly.

He was too stubborn and would not listen to suggestions.

Duduo looked at the quarrel between the two and was very disapproving.

He just listened on the sidelines.

Although he didn't have so many careful thoughts, he knew that Huang Taiji had to make the final decision in the end.

"Okay, don't argue.

Let's rest for a few days, and then send out people to collect food and Koreans.

Since we can't capture Hanyang, it would be good to recruit more Koreans to return to Liaodong to open up wasteland."

Huang Taiji interrupted.

A quarrel between the two.

"As for Zhao Lie, since we can't do anything to him for the time being, we will find another way and take his life."

"Does the Emperor mean to use the time to let the Emperor of Heaven and Zhao Lie kill each other?"

Dorgon asked.

Huang Taiji was shocked.

This old fourteen was a character.

He had just started, but Dorgon had already guessed the ending.

Hauge was probably no match for this person, not to mention Azig and Duoduo helping Dorgon.

Ergon.

"That's right.

Since Zhao Lie always hides in the city and doesn't dare to fight with my army in the field, that's the old way to deal with Yuan Chenghuan and Xiong.

Let them kill them themselves.

I, the Qing Dynasty, just need to light the fire first. ” Huang Taiji nodded.

Zhao Lie was too great a threat to the Qing Dynasty.

He was simply sent by God to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji's biggest thought now was to get rid of Zhao Lie no matter what method he used.

"It's better to kill this Nikan."

Duduo shook his head, very reluctantly.

Huang Taiji looked at Duduo and smiled, "Old Fifteen, use your head more, otherwise you will know the swords and guns in your hands."

Huang Taiji liked Duoduo's somewhat free-spirited character very much.

He was a promising general.

There were not many such people among the young people in Aixinjueluo, and most of the older generation were withering away.

Moreover, Duduo did not have many cities, which was very different from Dorgon and posed almost no threat to the throne.

Now that Huang Taiji made a decision, others had no choice but to obey.

So in the next half month, the Jiannu cavalry turned North Korea's Gyeonggi Province upside down.

They burned, killed, and looted everything.

Gyeonggi Province, which was still stable and prosperous in North Korea, became A hellish existence.

Money and food were robbed, young men and women were robbed, the old and the weak were killed or left to fend for themselves, and wars raged everywhere in central and northern Korea.

The reinforcements coming from Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province were defeated by the attack of thousands of Jiannu's cavalry.

Thousands of Korean troops either died in battle or surrendered.

Dodo, who was in charge of leading the army, stole the show.

The monarchs and ministers of North Korea were sitting in the trapped city, and they could only watch the slaves wreaking havoc on the land of North Korea without being able to do anything about it.

They could only feel extremely humiliated and angry in their hearts.

Other than that, there was nothing they could do.

Twenty days later, the Jiannu army began its journey back north, escorting more than 100,000 young men and women and hundreds of carts of money and food.

During this trip, the Qing army captured more than 200,000 young Koreans, which was very helpful in solving the shortage of manpower for land reclamation in Liaodong.

At the same time, they also plundered more than 100,000 taels of silver.

This was the income of the Qing court.

In fact, the army The soldiers hid more silver than this.

These raids on the Great Liquidation were a lucrative plunder.

Although it was incomparable to the attack on the Ming Dynasty, for a small country like North Korea, these profits were considerable.

However, Huang Taiji's goal of forcing North Korea to surrender and abandon the Ming Dynasty and turn to the Qing Dynasty was not achieved.

In other words, North Korea behind the Qing Dynasty was still disconnected from the Ming Dynasty, which was a hidden danger.

It's not that North Korea's weak soldiers can do anything to threaten the Qing's rear, but North Korea is still on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and allowing the Ming Dynasty's soldiers to enter from there to attack southeastern Liaoning is a big hidden danger.

Especially now that Zhao Lie's headquarters is in Denglai.

Zhao Lie is a dishonest person and will make a sneak attack on the Qing Dynasty at any time.

Now that Denglai has fallen into the hands of Zhao Lie, the threat to the Qing Dynasty will double.

This is definitely not what the Qing Dynasty wants to see, but now there is no way.

Zhao Lie has ruined a good thing in North Korea, so he can only take care of it slowly.

Jiannu withdrew from Korea in half a month, leaving the Korean monarchs and people with mourning all over the place.

Hundreds of thousands of young people and hundreds of thousands of households were destroyed.

This will greatly affect the cultivation of millions of acres of land.

This is also Not counting the looted money and food, there are more than 100,000 women, children, the elderly and the weak who are waiting for food.

The only good news is that most of the gentry families near Gyeonggi Province have disappeared.

Wuhe either resisted and was exterminated, or they were all captured and went north to the Qing Dynasty.

Most of the collected rice grains no longer need to be returned, and there is no owner.

What else should I change?

This also confirms what Zhao Lie said.

Zhao Lie is now extremely convinced by the monarchs and ministers of North Korea.

Zhao Lie's words are confirmed one by one, which shows that he is extremely clear about what Hu Lu did and that he is a battle-hardened warrior.

But it also caused great headaches for the monarchs and ministers of North Korea.

Without him, Zhao Lie's troops are now resting in Hanyang, very leisurely and at ease, but do not mention the matter of returning home
