After Zhao Ming became the leader of the DPRK, he immediately reorganized the remaining 20,000 Korean troops and recruited 100,000 Korean servants.However, time was urgent, and as soon as the army began to train, it received the news that the Qing army was assembled in Shenyang, and it was obviously too late to train the Korean army and make it form a combat force.June 15, Seoul.The residence of the Korean consul government and the Qing army gathered in Shenyang, which made Zhao Ming feel pressured.After all, Donghae Town only has 6,000 men and horses in Seoul, and Hong Chengchou is gathering troops in Shenyang, and he may suddenly enter Korea and launch a surprise attack at any time while he has not yet completed the integration of North Korea's strength.If 30,000 elite Qing troops break into Korea, with 6,000 Ming troops and tens of thousands of useless Korean troops, I am afraid it will be really difficult to achieve victory."
Handsome!
Phi Island Urgent!
”Ding Weiyue rushed into the festival hall.Zhao Ming was dealing with military affairs, and when he heard the voice, he couldn't help but put down the brush, stood up, walked around the table, and took the urgent report."
Is it the old thief Hong who moved?"
Zhao Ming asked as he opened the military newspaper.Ding Weiyue nodded, "Yu Guowang sent scouts out of Lianshan Pass to explore in the direction of Shenyang, and found that the Qing army was in the front, and more than 10,000 men and horses were coming to the southeast. ”In the festival hall, Gu Yanwu and other staff members immediately changed their faces, and they couldn't help but exclaim: "The Qing army is coming so fast!"
”Now that the North Korean army has not formed a combat force, and the reinforcements are still on the way, they have not just come, and the Qing army is attacking North Korea at this time, which is a big challenge for the Ming army.Zhao Ming quickly read the general report, and then handed the general newspaper to the staff to circulate, Yu Guowang's urgent report was very simple, that is, he found that the Qing army of more than 10,000 forwards advanced in the direction of Lianshan Pass.Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Old thief Hong knows that the soldiers are fast, and the Qing army's vanguard should have passed the Lianshan Pass by now, and it won't take long to kill the Yalu River." ”Gu Yanwu said in a deep voice: "Marshal, the Qing army is in the front, and the army of Hong thieves will follow."
In the middle and upper reaches of the Yalu River, the water is shallow and the river is narrow, and the warships of the naval division cannot sail in, and once the Qing army enters the Yalu River, it will definitely be difficult for the Korean troops along the line to resist the Qing army. ”The sailors of the Ming army were all large sea vessels with deep drafts, and they could only barely enter and exit the Yalu River estuary, and could not go deep upstream.Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "The Qing army has entered Korea several times, and we are familiar with the mountains and rivers of North Korea, and our troops are insufficient, even if six thousand soldiers and horses rush to the Yalu River to set up defenses, they will not be able to prevent the Qing army from crossing the river." ”Gu Yanwu said: "The Yalu River is hundreds of miles long, and it is indeed difficult for six thousand soldiers and horses to resist the enemy. ”In the festival hall, everyone was silent for a while, but Zhao Ming walked to the map, stared at it for a while, and suddenly said with a fist: "Since you can't stop it, let them in, resist every time, exchange the city for time, and wait for the arrival of the fighter plane." ”Gu Yanwu also had this idea, he listened to Zhao Ming's words, and asked tentatively: "Dashuai wants to resist step by step, lure the enemy deep, and then fight a decisive battle!"
”Zhao Ming glanced at him, and said: "Yes, the goal of the old thief Hong is clear, that is, to kill all the way to Seoul, since you know the goal of the old thief Hong, you can deduce his march route, and the commander can resist step by step, lure the enemy deeper, accumulate strength, set up an ambush near Seoul, and fight with it." ”When everyone heard this, they all stared at the map, and Ding Weiyue said: "Since the Yalu River can't stop the Qing army, that's the only way."
Only the Qing army has 10,000 forwards, and there must be a main force behind it.Our army is a useful soldier, but there are only more than 6,000 people, how can we ambush tens of thousands of Qing troops!
”Gu Yanwu muttered: "Then we can only let the Korean army hold on to the city by city, and move the ambush site to the south, let the Qing army divide the troops to occupy the city, and win the time for Jiangdong reinforcements and hired Japanese soldiers to arrive." ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, but then said with a smile: "There are more than 6,000 men and horses in this commander, and the sailor can also send thousands of elite soldiers ashore to participate in the ambush battle!"
The ambush was located near Kaesong, north of Seoul.It is surrounded by hills to the northwest, the Yellow Sea to the southeast, and the Licheng River to the northwest.If the Qing army wants to take Seoul, it must cross the Yeesung River, pass through Kaesong, and kill Seoul.The commander can send an army in advance, hide in the upper reaches of the Licheng River, wait for the Qing army to cross the river and rush to Kaesong, interspersed with the Qing army, cut off the retreat of the Qing army, and then the commander will lead the army to defeat the Qing army head-on. ”After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, the sailors had not received training in foot combat, and their combat strength would definitely be greatly reduced after they went ashore, but they were stronger than the North Korean army, and there were many musketeers on the warship, as well as the killer team who received the side in close combat, and the combat power was quite strong.The 10,000 officers and men of the naval division, excluding the sailors and gunners, can still be drawn out, plus the reinforcements from Jiangdong, the low-level samurai recruited from Japan should be able to fight.Gu Yanwu and the others glanced at each other, and then saluted: "Dashuai, we think this strategy is feasible!"
”Zhao Ming didn't finish speaking, he continued with great interest: "If we lose this battle, then we will return to Jiangdong and come back another day."
If you win!
”Zhao Ming laughed strangely, which was terrifying, "If you win, the army will take advantage of the situation to attack Liaodong, attack Lushun first, and cut off the Manchu Qing to reinforce Lushun by land, forcing Hong Lao thief, and sending sailors to reinforce Lushun from the sea."
At that time, our army's naval division, ambushed in advance, severely damaged the Qing army's naval division in a battle, and captured Lushun, and then, the soldiers divided into two routes, all the way north to feign Shenyang, attracting Qing soldiers to rescue their Shengjing, all the way across the sea and then attack Shandong, the Manchu Qingshui division was completely annihilated. ”Zhao Ming never forgot that the main goal of this trip north was to eliminate the Manchu Qingshui Division and cut off the Manchu Qing's connection with the Dutch and the Spaniards.The Ming army took Korea for this goal, in order to completely destroy the Manchu Qing naval division.If the Manchus lost contact with the Dutch and the Spaniards, it would be impossible to surpass Donghai Town in terms of equipment, and the Ming army relied on naval divisions to gain a firm foothold in Korea and Liaodong, and could threaten the Manchus from the north, which would have a great strategic advantage.The strategy of the Ming army was established, and Zhao Ming immediately convened the generals of the Ming army and the Korean generals to discuss the details, and finally decided to transfer 15,000 soldiers from various provinces of Korea, led by Lin Qingzhi, the marshal of the Korean capital, to fortify the cities along the coastal plain west of the Korean Peninsula, resist step by step, and buy time for Zhao Ming, while Zhao Ming transferred troops to find out the terrain near Kaesong and wait for the arrival of the Qing army.At the end of the meeting, everyone acted separately, and within a few days, news came from the front line that the Qing army had arrived on the bank of the Yalu River.Yu Guowang led more than 1,000 soldiers, resisted a little, fought with the Qing army for a while, and then returned to Phi Dao by boat, and then was ordered to withdraw to the line of the Licheng River.
