Although he is Jin Liu's nephew, his official reputation is completely different from Jin Liu's.
Kim Moon-sheng was very honest and paid great attention to people's livelihood. During his tenure as the Incheon Protectorate Envoy, Kim Moon-sheng did many good things that benefited the people.
Therefore, he has a very good reputation among the people and is loved by his subordinates.
This is also the basis for his confidence to stick to Incheon.
Although the city wall had been breached and the Xia army rushed into the city, the surviving Korean soldiers still did not give up resistance.
They fought and retreated, trying to take advantage of every corner.
This caused great trouble for the Xia army's attack.
Street fighting is definitely the worst and most complex battlefield environment, forcing Xia Jun to slow down and eliminate the remaining enemies bit by bit.
North Korean houses all have low walls, only as high as a person's chest. This makes it easy for people to hide inside and suddenly stand up to attack.
When such a wall appears in front of them, Xia army soldiers will become cautious.
A captain lay down behind the bunker. After observing for a long time, he pointed to the deputy captain at the wall in front.
The vice-captain understood, led his team to jump up, and touched from the side.
The other people all raised their guns and aimed hard.
When the assault team just ran to the middle of the street, three North Korean soldiers suddenly jumped up from behind the wall. They had already drawn their bowstrings and started looking for the target immediately.
However, they were fast, and Xia Jun was faster.
The muskets that had been aimed long ago opened fire, killing the three Korean soldiers on the spot.
The deputy captain was afraid of an accident and threw a grenade into the wall.
When there was no other resistance, he led his men up.
Seeing that there were only three dead Korean soldiers inside, he felt relieved and waved to the people behind him.
The whole team rushed forward together, rushed into the yard, and surrounded the house.
A soldier held his shield to his chest and opened the door of the house.
In an instant, more than a dozen guns were pointed at the room.
There are people inside.
But not the defenders.
But ordinary North Korean people.
A man held a hatchet in his hand, trembling as he looked at the fierce-looking Xia soldiers.
Behind him, a woman held the child tightly in her arms. There was no other way except the silent crying on her face.
The captain came to the door and looked inside the room. He saw only four walls and no place to hide, so he asked everyone to put away their weapons.
"Don't be afraid. We are the Xia Army and we will not harm civilians. The fighting in the city is not over yet. Stay home and don't go out for the time being."
The captain took out a small bag of rice and placed it at the door, then greeted the soldiers and left.
It wasn't until this moment that the man relaxed, and the hatchet clattered to the ground. After walking between life and death, he realized how precious life is.
The woman looked up in shock and was quite surprised to see that the soldiers were all gone.
Since when has the military become so easy to talk to?
She quietly moved to the door and looked outside, but there was nothing outside.
Even the three defenders who were killed were dragged away by the Xia army, leaving only bloodstains on the ground and half of the wall blown up.
The couple put in a lot of effort to build this home, but it was now badly damaged.
But when the woman opened her pocket and saw the white rice inside, she couldn't help crying but laughing.
Since he decided to defend the city, Jin Wensheng searched for food everywhere in the city to ensure military use, so that many people began to run out of food in their homes.
Now the newly arrived troops not only do not disturb the people, but also provide food, which makes the Korean people in the city feel at ease.
The battle continued into the afternoon, and almost all the remaining enemies in the city had been cleared away, leaving only the government office.
Miao Guangxian and Zhao Xianbing rushed over and felt particularly distressed when they saw the exhausted soldiers.
"Push the cannon over. If the people inside don't surrender, we'll fire."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white flag suddenly rose in the government office.
Then the door opened, and the defenders who had no weapons in their hands came out dejectedly and knelt outside.
Second Battalion Commander Gao Ze immediately ran up with his men and controlled all the surrendered soldiers.
"The regimental leader, political commissar, Jin Wensheng committed suicide."
Only then did Miao Guangxian and Zhao Xianbing know the reason why the defenders surrendered.
The two walked into the government office and saw the body still swinging back and forth in the air.
"This person has a good official reputation. He carefully restrained himself and found a place to bury him properly."
They also believed that Jin Wensheng was a good official, but it was a pity that he was in a different position and ended up like this.
From the landing on Ganghwa Island to the capture of Gimpo and Incheon, Xia's army spent a total of five days.
Although this process is very long, there is nothing we can do about it. This is already the fastest efficiency.
In this era of landing operations, there are tens of thousands of troops. Without the help of modern machinery, it is impossible to move quickly even if you want.
Especially when entering the Han River, the warships all sailed against the current, seriously affecting their speed.
Even the Fu Chuan and Haicang boats had no way to come in, so Cangshan boats and Centipede boats could only sail across the river.
Such small boats make the transportation of troops and supplies slower.
Fortunately, the entire west coast area is completely under control. Next, we will integrate our forces and wait until the North Korean 1st Division arrives, then we can march towards Hanyang.
Within five days, Hauge, Dorgon and others in Busan finally received Huang Taiji's edict.
Hauge and others were all dumbfounded when they learned that Xia Jun didn't care about the battle situation in Busan and instead planned a massive outflank.
"The emperor has issued a strict order and must retreat. Otherwise, the entire army may be trapped here."
The person who sent the order was afraid that Hauge and Dorgon would not understand the seriousness of the situation, so he deliberately emphasized his tone.
Hauge and Dorgon were extremely helpless. They looked up at Jinjing Mountain in front of them, but they also knew that Huang Taiji's order was not wrong.
After fighting for almost two months, they still made no progress. According to the feedback from the frontline soldiers, Xia Jun's defense was very easy.
In other words, Xia Jun didn't try his best at all.
With their current military strength and means, it is absolutely impossible to conquer Busan.
If the Xia army on the northern front really controls the Hanyang line and cuts off the logistics supply line, the 200,000-strong army will surely collapse.
This period of time has given Hauge and others a deep understanding of the situation in North Korea.
Even if they forced each other in every possible way and used cruel methods, they still could not squeeze more food and grass from the hands of the Koreans.
In other words, North Korea is really poor, not pretending to be poor.
Without food and grass transported from the rear, local conquest alone would not be able to satisfy the consumption of so many soldiers and horses.
But it is not that easy for an army of 200,000 to retreat. Proper arrangements must be made.
Otherwise, it would not be a retreat, but a rout.
Once that happens, neither Hauge nor Dorgon can afford it.
