At the end of November, Wu Yue's army and the Qing army had been facing each other outside the pass for nearly three months.During this time, Wu Yuejun sent 10,000 elite soldiers to Liaoxi by boat, and established a camp at the former site of Dalinghe City to confront the Qing army in Jinzhou and Ningyuan.Because Wu Yuejun planted a nail in Liaoxi, the grain and grass transported by the Qing army from inside the pass to outside the pass could only detour through Mongolia, and the consumption increased greatly, making the supply of the Qing army outside the pass in a difficult situation.However, with the change of wind direction, after entering the winter, the fleet was not suitable for sailing north, and it was difficult for the Wu Yue army in Liaodong to supply, coupled with the cold climate outside the Guan, the Wu Yue army also had a hard life.On the Haizhou front, the cold wind was howling, and compared with the Qing army, the Wu Yue soldiers were still a little difficult to adapt to the cold climate outside the Guan.At this time, in the camp, the soldiers wore overcoats and fur hats on their heads, and hid in tents and trenches to rest.Since the beginning of winter, the Wu Yue army on the Haizhou front line has not taken the initiative to attack.At this time, in the deep trench, the soldiers gathered in one place, lit a fire, supported a shelf with three logs, hung iron helmets, and the hot soup was boiling inside, and the surrounding soldiers were bursting with white gas."
Niang Xipi, it's freezing hard underneath, it's really cold outside the gate!"
The soldiers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang rubbed their hands and paced."
That's not right.Wouldn't it be beautiful to win this battle, occupy Liaozhong, divide 100 acres of land, and accept a few little Korean ladies!
”Immediately, someone laughed."
Haha, isn't that thing of yours getting smaller and colder, what can it do!"
The soldiers opened their yellow chambers and passed the time.Everyone was talking and laughing, and a figure suddenly slid down the trench, bringing up patches of snow."
Captain, the ditch on the other side is empty!"
The scout, dressed in a gray cloth uniform and a white cloak, had just slid down and hurried over.The first lieutenant was stirring the flint with a wooden stick, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help breaking the wooden stick and stood up, "What, empty?
”The scout clenched his fists, "Captain, it's empty.After monitoring for a long time, he found that there was no smoke and no sound in the trench, so he quietly approached to check, only to learn that there were no dogs in the trench. ”Hearing this, the lieutenant threw the broken wooden strip into the fire, splashed the sparks, then grabbed the weapon next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Get up, look at it!"
”At that moment, the surrounding soldiers hurriedly picked up their muskets, followed the lieutenant along the ladder to climb out of the deep trench, and then picked up the muskets and cautiously touched the trenches hundreds of miles away.The lieutenant held the knife, bent his waist, cautiously approached the deep trench of the Qing army, looked at the opposite side vigilantly, and gently stepped on the snow to the edge of the trench.At this time, the lieutenant glanced at the trench of the Qing army, and couldn't help but slowly insert the command knife into the scabbard and stand up straight, while the soldiers behind him straightened up one after another when they saw this, and followed closely, only to find that there was no Qing army in the trench.After holding on for several months, the Qing army actually withdrew.The soldiers put their muskets behind their backs, looked at the empty trench, and were a little unconvinced, so they immediately cheered, "Haha, Qinggou can't stand it first!"
”The officers and men of Wu Yuejun were all smiling and proud of the Qing army, which had survived the more cold-tolerant army.The lieutenant slid down the trench, inspected the situation in the trench, checked the ashes of the campfire, stood up and said, "I guess I withdrew last night."
Quickly report to the school captain!
”In the south of Haizhou, Tashan Pu Wu Yue Army's forward battalion, and the captains of the front line successively sent fast horses to report to Chen Youlong, the deputy governor of the former army, and announced that the Qing army on the opposite side was retreating.For a time, the Tashan battalion quickly went out to investigate the traces of the Qing army, and it was necessary to confirm where the Qing army was withdrawing and what intentions there were.In the evening, the scouts reported one after another, not only the Qing troops near Tashan were evacuated, but even Haizhou was an empty city.Chen Youlong stood in the big tent, listened to the scout's report, and couldn't help but groan, "Although His Highness sent Dang Shousu to lead 10,000 soldiers to set up a village in the Daling River, it did not completely cut off the grain route of the Qing army.Now the food of the Qing army should be able to eat for a while, I don't know why they suddenly retreated. ”In the military tent, the soldiers of the former army gathered in front of the sand table, and for a while, they could not come up with an answer."
Governor, could it be a trap set by the Qing army?"
Join the army cautiously.Chen Youlong paced back and forth in the tent, half a sound, and suddenly said: "First report to Governor Xie Du and His Royal Highness, and then order Zhang Guangcui's department and Li Qichen's department to move closer to this governor." ”A day later, Haizhou City.The city gate was wide open, and the horses were placed on both sides of the city gate, and the road in front of the city gate was scattered with materials discarded by the Qing army, as well as large vehicles paralyzed on the side of the road.Chen Youlong rode on a war horse and slowly entered the city, only to see that the houses on both sides of the streets in the city were dilapidated, and the city was empty.~~~~~~ North Korea, Wang Jing.Government Residence.In addition to being the king of Wuyue, Zhao Ming is also the leader of the Korean state, that is, the prime minister.After entering a confrontational situation outside the border, Zhao Ming handed over the command of the front-line battle to Xie Qian, and then took a boat to North Korea.At this time, Zhao Ming came to North Korea, and it has been two months since he gradually sorted out the current situation in North Korea.Previously, Zhao Ming was not very interested in North Korea, but with the expansion of Wu Yueguo's territory, a large number of people were urgently needed, and North Korea gradually became important.At present, Zhao Ming is about to take Liaozhong, and the climate outside the customs is cold, the people in Jiangnan are difficult to adapt, and Jiangnan is rich, the people are unwilling to leave Jiangnan, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to develop Liaozhong, and it will arouse public anger.Therefore, Zhao Ming was ready to use a large number of Koreans nearby as the main force to develop Liaozhong.But in this way, Zhao Ming was a little worried that after a large number of Koreans arrived in Liaozhong, it would affect the Han people's control of Liaozhong.In addition, when Zhao Ming opened up Taiwan and Nanyang, he also used a large number of Koreans and Japanese people.Now, Wu Yueguo is powerful, these Koreans and Japanese people, do not dare to do anything, once Wu Yueguo has problems, these people are unstable factors.For a hundred years and for future generations, Zhao Ming thought that to eliminate this unstable factor, it was to assimilate these people as soon as possible.At this time, in the consulate government residence, Zhao Ming sat on the kang, and a group of North Korean officials kneeled below, as well as Han staff members in the consulate government residence.When Zhao Ming was not in North Korea, he was handled by the Han staff of the consulate government to handle the official affairs of the consulate."
Your Highness, according to Your Highness's intentions, in order to help North Korea accept the Han culture and integrate into the Celestial Empire as soon as possible, the following strategy has been formulated!"
Wang Jiaqin, the secretary of the shogunate of the government office, saluted.Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "Let's put it mildly!"
”Wang Jiaqin said: "Your Highness, first, recruit scholars to come to North Korea to run a school."
Second, a new tax policy will be introduced, so that Koreans who can write Chinese characters in everything will have the same tax as Han Min, and if they cannot speak Chinese and cannot write Chinese characters, they will need to pay an extra tax and hand it over to the local Sinology private school until they can~~~~~~
