But when Abatai wanted to continue to march westward, he suddenly heard that the Tumut tribe had signed an alliance under the city, and Pegasus Town had returned to the pass with prisoners and seizures. So Abatai also led the army.
When we came to Hohhot, we first re-maintained the Qing Dynasty's rule over the Tumote tribe. But in this way, Abatai's troops would be in vain, not to mention that Pegasus Town's expedition had given various Mongolian tribes
Huge losses were caused.
The expedition to Pegasus Town was later called the First Mongolian Battle. In this expedition, including illness and other non-combat attrition, the casualties in Pegasus Town were less than a hundred, which can be said to be a victory.
brilliant.
More importantly, a new tribe was established under the management of Bao Huercha. When Pegasus Town entered the customs, this tribe was temporarily placed outside the Great Wall at Datong. And this new Mongolian tribe, dominated by Wu Shigong,
It was also the beginning of the reshuffle of the Mongolian tribes on the grassland, and the beginning of the expansion of the power of the Great Ping Dynasty northward into the Mongolian grassland.
After Abatai's Manchu-Mongolian coalition arrived in Hohhot, he became angry and wanted to go south and attack the new Mongolian tribe outside the Great Wall of Datong in revenge for the Daping Army's departure. But at this time, Liaodong
However, Dorgon sent an urgent order: Abate was asked to return quickly with his army, because the situation in Liaodong at this time had already undergone tremendous changes.
But that’s a story for another day. Let’s talk about the other expeditionary force of the Daping Army at the same time as the Pegasus Town expedition!
On March 17, the first year of Qiongyuan, on the Bohai Sea.
When he saw that the conscripted ship bosses were no longer sailing, but had placed water, wine and pig heads on the bow of the ship, burning incense and kowtowing to pray to the sea, Huang Ding became furious. He yelled: "What these turtles are doing
What’s up?”
A boatman next to Huang Ding also had a pale face. He pointed to the mirage that appeared on the sea and said: "General! That's the Sea Dragon King appearing. He wants to take us in. The ship bosses are trying to calm down the Dragon King."
But as soon as he said this, Huang Ding became even more angry.
Due to the insufficient number of ships in this cross-sea expedition to Korea, the Daping Army used all the ships they could requisition. In order to seize the time, Huang Ding led 2,000 soldiers and horses. He first took the Shandong and North Zhili to collect
The ships will cross the sea first, escorted by four gunboats. Gonzalez will lead a main force of 4,000 and will cross the sea in late March on sea-going ships with good ship condition and large tonnage.
So what Huang Ding and the others took were fishing boats and small boats. Not to mention shabby, even the speed was relatively slow. Moreover, in the four days after going to sea, three boats leaked and capsized. Fortunately, there were many boats on the sea.
The situation was relatively calm, and although the supplies on these ships were lost, the personnel were basically rescued.
However, when the people on the ship are crowded, the smell becomes unpleasant. Moreover, the boat is bumpy, and seasickness is also contagious. Although the Marine Corps soldiers are all good at water, they have never had this condition before, and they have basically never been out.
The sea, so when they saw someone vomiting around them, many people started to scream, making the whole boat smell like swill.
If it was just like this, Huang Ding would just endure it. Anyway, it took just over ten days to sail from Tianjinwei to Incheon. But today, he was unlucky enough to encounter a mirage. The entire fleet also stopped.
This made Huang Ding intolerable.
To be honest, Huang Ding was indeed a little scared at this time. People at that time were somewhat superstitious, not to mention being on a very dangerous sea.
So Huang Ding gave the order: "What's the Broken Dragon King? Send the order and fire at it, and the firecrackers will also fire at it."
"No way! General!" The boatman next to him immediately rushed over in a hurry, shouting with tears streaming down his face: "We have angered the Dragon King, and we can't run away! General! General!"
"Take him away and follow the order!" Huang Ding ignored the boatman's plea. He explained, "Everyone knows how to set off firecrackers during the New Year! Only by making a loud noise can the dirty things be driven away."
"Boom boom boom——!"
“Bang bang bang—!”
The sea was filled with gunpowder smoke. As a group of ship bosses and boatmen were stunned, the mirage on the sea disappeared. Even the sun's rays penetrated the thick clouds and fell onto the sea, sparkling with little golden lights.
"Oh——!" Everyone cheered after escaping from death. Several boatmen even came to Huang Ding and said in awe: "General! You are from the stars in the sky and have come down to earth. Even the Sea Dragon King has to give way.
"You guys are lucky enough to sit on the same boat with you. It's really a blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life!"
"Hahaha——!" Huang Ding also laughed happily, "I have told you a long time ago that our emperor is the real dragon emperor. Do you dare to offend a mere little dragon on the sea?"
"Exactly! Exactly!" People around him nodded repeatedly.
"Also!" Huang Ding pointed to a ship boss and said, "That pig's head is pretty good. Bring it over to me for a taste. I eat fish every day and it makes me sick to my stomach."
Several black lines suddenly appeared on the faces of the people around him.
…
On March 26, the fleet of the Daping Army arrived along the coastline at the mouth of the Han River. After that, four gunboats entered the Han River and went up the river, while the rest of the fleet continued south along the coastline, arriving at the Han River on March 29
Incheon Port.
"It's coming! It's coming! Zheng Daguan's fleet is coming!"
Seeing the fleet entering the port, the dock of Incheon Port, which had been silent for a winter, immediately became lively. A large number of North Korean people came to watch the excitement, but most of them were North Korean coolies on the dock. They made money and made a living by carrying goods.
So groups of coolies were divided into groups, each occupying its own territory and preventing other coolies from entering.
In North Korea, Zheng Zhilong's fleet is famous. Since the Manchu and Qing Dynasties became the suzerainty of North Korea and Zheng Zhilong started trading with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and Zheng Zhilong's Zheng family started entrepot trade through North Korea, and this place also became a part of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
As an important commercial road, Incheon Port gradually became lively.
"That's wrong! Why is the ship this time so broken?" A Korean coolie asked curiously, "Could it be the ship belonging to Mr. Zheng Daguan?"
With a "pop!", the North Korean coolie was hit on the head by his leader. The leader scolded: "What do you know? Zheng Daguan's business is too big, and we in North Korea will not leave him alone."
In his eyes, if the big ship of Zheng Daguan goes in another direction, the one coming from North Korea will definitely be worse. Look at the flag on the ship. If it doesn’t belong to Zheng Daguan, which family does it belong to? "
After hearing the leader's specious explanation, the coolies nodded repeatedly. As long as they can make money, it doesn't matter whether he comes for a bathtub or not.
Although the pier was crowded with people, there was a large open space in the middle. In this open space, several North Korean officials stood nodding and hunched beside a dozen Qing soldiers, and they all surrounded the leader Niu Lu.
Really, he is trying to flatter North Korea.
After occupying North Korea, the Manchu Qing Dynasty stationed a thousand Qing troops in North Korea. In Seoul, the capital of North Korea, there were 500 troops stationed, and in Kaesong, there were 300 bannermen stationed. As for the port of Incheon,
There was Niulu Erzhen, the highest commander of the Qing army stationed at Inchon Port.
For the soldiers of the Eight Banners, being stationed in North Korea was a good job. Under the careful service of North Korean officials, every Qing soldier seemed to be the Supreme Emperor of North Korea, with constant filial piety and beautiful women. Moreover, there was no war, and his life was easy.
Carefree and at ease.
Therefore, for the sake of balance, the Eight Banners will be stationed in North Korea in turn. Each banner will be stationed for a year, so that all the banners will get rich. In this way, those bannermen stationed in North Korea must be ruthlessly plundered, and they just have to seize the time.
And seize every opportunity to make money.
The arrival of the Zheng family's fleet was a major source of wealth for these Qing soldiers. Although the large-scale goods transactions all had the background of the banner owner, Prince Baylor, it was not the turn of the small soldiers like them to worry about it. But the Zheng family alone
A small reward can make these Qing soldiers have a good meal, so this Niu Lu'er really led the team today.
I saw the leading ship lowering its sails and slowly approaching the dock. The Korean coolies were also busy tying the cables and building the springboard.
Several Qing soldiers were pointing at the big ship, talking and laughing. On the side of the big ship, a young man was waving to the Qing soldiers and North Korean officials.
Seeing that the young man seemed to be the person in charge of the Zheng family's fleet, the North Korean officials quickly returned the favor. But Niu Luzhen, a member of the Qing army, had his chest folded, and he was still thinking to himself: "How can we
We cannot disgrace our nation. How can these humble businessmen be worthy of our warriors returning the favor?"
Seeing that the springboard was set up, the young man gave Niu Luzhen a bright smile. Then he shouted loudly: "Get ready!"
A group of firecrackers suddenly appeared on the side of the ship. They were holding firecrackers with lit match ropes and aimed at the group of people standing in the middle of the dock.
"put!"
Niu Lu'erzhen, who had not yet woken up from the shock, only heard a loud noise, and then felt several heavy blows to his chest and abdomen. Then his eyes went black, his body went limp, and he completely lost consciousness.
.
"A bunch of idiots!" Huang Ding, who was directing the shooting, said contemptuously as he looked at the Qing soldiers and North Korean officials lying in a pool of blood.
Immediately afterwards, a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed off the ship, and immediately led by a boatman who had been to Incheon Port, they rushed towards the Qing army's station in Incheon Port.
When the Koreans on the dock saw a group of menacing soldiers killed on the ship, they immediately became confused.
"The pirates are coming! The Japanese pirates are coming!" some Koreans who were unaware of the situation shouted.
And these cries immediately caused the entire Incheon Port to become chaotic.
