In Uiju City in the north of the Korean Peninsula, a huge marching team is marching north.
This is the Manchu Qing army that conquered North Korea and returned to the country. The long team can't be seen at a glance, and there are Qing soldiers in bright armor and riding military horses everywhere.
In the middle of the procession was Huang Taiji's guard of honor.
The first to walk over were the 600 "Gebush Xianchaoha" from the Qing emperor's personal camp. They were all wearing black armor and black tassels and riding horses. Only two of the Gebushixianchaoha were admitted to each cow, and they were all
The most powerful warriors in the Qing Dynasty were selected as the emperor's personal guard camp.
Behind the "Gebush Xianchaoha" who opened the way, at the front of the ceremonial guard was a team holding ten satin umbrellas. Each of the satin umbrellas were dyed in five colors and were very gorgeous. They followed the cavalry who opened the way.
Behind the satin umbrella, there are ten gold-pinned dragon scrolls held high. The golden pin-gold dragon scroll is much higher than the ordinary official scrolls and gold-woven dragon scrolls. Only the strongest warriors can lift it. At this time, the dragon scroll is drooping.
With its long tassel tail, it gradually moves forward with the warrior holding the banner.
Behind them are ten small golden dragon flags, and behind them are six double-dragon fans and four single-dragon fans, all held by warriors in colorful uniforms.
Behind the flags and fans are teams holding weapons of various colors, including leopard-tailed spears, big horses, bows and arrows, golden axes, stars, imperial staffs, staffs and other weapons of various colors, ten of each type, each held by ten strong men.
Behind these more than a hundred warriors is Huang Taiji's canopy chariot. The canopy is entirely made of silk and satin, and is embroidered with auspicious clouds and waves, peonies, cranes, dragons and tigers. It is very gorgeous. The fat Huang Taiji sits on six horses
The chariot pulled by horses drove up and drove under the canopy.
On both sides and behind the canopy were a group of Qing military attachés guarding the palace with swords.
Behind them, there are musical instruments such as gold, sheng, clouds, pipes, gold cymbals, bronze cymbals, drums, suonas, trumpets, etc., beating non-stop all the way, playing the music of the North.
Huang Taiji learned this outfit from the surrendered ministers of the Ming Dynasty. He has been wearing this outfit since he proclaimed himself emperor and ascended the throne to show the emperor's majesty.
The vast team drove all the way to the north.
This time, Huang Taiji personally went to Korea to accuse the Chongqing Alliance of helping the Ming Dynasty. The Qing army conquered Yizhou and Anzhou like a siege, and approached the capital Pyongyang. The Korean king Li Jingfei led his eldest son and hundreds of officials to escape to the South Han Mountain, and ordered the following
The son and his family took refuge in Ganghwa Island and asked for help from the Ming Dynasty. The Qing army crossed the Han River and arrived at the camp west of Nanhanshan City. Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty sent an envoy to surrender. Soon after, Li Jie learned that Ganghwa Island had fallen and all the reinforcements were defeated. In February, he presented the imperial seal
, dropped to the Qing Dynasty.
This was the Qing army, or Hou Jin's second attack on North Korea. Ten years ago, Huang Taiji, who had just succeeded to the throne, ordered Amin and others to lead troops into North Korea. North Korea succumbed to the threat of force from Hou Jin and was forced to negotiate peace with Hou Jin.
, although it still maintained the vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty, it had to establish diplomatic relations with the Hou Jin Dynasty as a "brotherly country".
But this time, the second time to conquer North Korea, the Qing army came forward and was devastated. Huang Taiji completely defeated North Korea, and North Korea surrendered in response to the seal, knelt down and proclaimed itself a vassal, and no longer dared to have anything to do with the Ming Dynasty.
From then on, there was no military force on the eastern flank of the Qing Dynasty to contain the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing army could concentrate on dealing with the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, among the troops returning to the court, Huang Taiji held up a guard of honor and returned in triumph.
Fan Wencheng, a bachelor of the Secretariat of the Qing Dynasty, rode beside Huang Taiji's chariot and spoke to Huang Taiji with his tall body hunched over.
As a bachelor of the Internal Secretariat, he is responsible for writing correspondence with foreign countries, recording memorials to various yamen, pleadings for grievances, the emperor's edicts, edicts from civil and military officials, and edicts for offering sacrifices to civil and military officials. He can be said to be the head of civil servants. Model essay Cheng Ben was a native of the Ming Dynasty in Shenyang. He had been loyal to the Jurchens since the Nurhaci era. Now he finally reached a high position and took charge of the Internal Secretariat.
Fan Wencheng looked at the mighty honor guard and said to the Qing emperor: "Your Majesty, now that North Korea has surrendered and there is no longer any restraint in the east, you can have free rein to attack the Ming Dynasty in the future!"
Huang Taiji touched the beard on his lips and said: "I don't know why, I conquered North Korea this time, but I can't be happy!"
Fan Wencheng rolled his eyes and said, "Is the Emperor worried about Zhenghuang Qi?"
Huang Taiji did not answer Fan Wencheng's words.
Fan Wencheng took a breath and said: "Last year, forty Niulu soldiers from the Zhenghuang Banner went out to fight, but the entire army was defeated at the gate of Fanjiazhuang City in the Ming Dynasty. Only more than 4,000 soldiers escaped. Yangguli died in the battle, and his teeth were white. , the entire army of horse and infantry was almost wiped out, which was shocking. Later, detailed reports revealed that the one who defeated Yangu Li was just a guard named Li Zhi from the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, what is this Li Zhi capable of? Can you actually defeat Yangu Li with 12,000 people in a single battle?"
When soldiers of the Qing army faced off against the Ming Dynasty, the Korean army could often outnumber one enemy to many, but they were annihilated by the outnumbered Li Zhi at the gate of Fanjiazhuang City. The battle in August last year still makes many people in the Qing army find it unbelievable.
Huang Taiji said calmly: "Chaopin Gong has made outstanding achievements in his life. I don't expect that he will lose his security at the end of the battle and lose the entire Zhenghuang Banner in one battle."
Fan Wencheng said: "I don't know how many years it will take for the Zhenghuang Banner to recover. Fortunately, Azig on the West Road plundered hundreds of thousands of livestock and supplemented the manpower of our Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, the gains outweighed the losses by entering the customs. The emperor said last year Azige's attack on Ming Mingming has made mistakes and failed, and it is indeed a hit to the nail on the head."
Huang Taiji sat in the car and thought for a while, then asked: "Is there any reward for the detailed work sent to Fanjiazhuang?"
Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, for some reason, Li Zhi was very vigilant about spying and guarded Fanjiazhuang like an iron barrel. Without the guarantee of the people in Fanjiazhuang, outsiders could not enter Fanjiazhuang. And Fanjiazhuang The residents in the city are very grateful to Li Zhi, and no one is willing to cooperate with our detailed work."
"We have sent three batches of agents to Fanjiazhuang. The strategy of buying off the locals is completely unworkable. The warriors who sneaked into the city to seize the belt were directly captured by Li Zhi and killed."
Huang Taiji closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and said: "This Li Zhi is really a monster!" After a pause, Huang Taiji slowly said: "I feel that sooner or later, this person will become the number one enemy of our Qing Dynasty and stop our Qing Dynasty. In front of the warrior."
Fan Wencheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "But this man defends Fanjiazhuang like an iron barrel, and even our warriors can't assassinate him!"
Huang Taiji thought for a while and said: "If we send a detailed investigation again, we will definitely find out the details of Fanjiazhuang."
After saying this, Huang Taiji said no more, just held the railing on the car and looked into the distance.
"The slave knows!"
Fan Wencheng knew that Huang Taiji didn't want to say more, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just hunched over and moved to the side, guarding Huang Taiji's side.
