The island country had an army of 150,000, divided into nine legions to cross the sea to fight in North Korea, with Ukita Hideie as the commander-in-chief. In World War I, they captured the Port of Busan in North Korea and opened the southern gate of North Korea. After that, strategically, they adopted the German
Kawa Ieyasu's proposal established the tactics of "advancing simultaneously on land and sea", "using the strong to bully the weak", and "quick victory"; using the navy to ensure the supply of strategic materials to the army, and the army advancing in three directions. Although North Korea tried its best to block it,
Even civilians from various places organized rebels to block the island country, but this only slightly blocked the island country's progress.
Several cities were lost in one day, and urgent rescue reports flew into Seoul like snowflakes. Everyone in Seoul, whether civilians or nobles, were panicked. Zeng Yi and the four of them were in Seoul, always passing by the pro-military captain's mansion, paying attention to the frontline.
The battle situation. Seeing that several cities were captured by the island country in one day, Zeng Yi couldn't help but sigh: "We have already calculated this result, but we still overestimated the strength of the North Korean army. According to the situation, let alone a month."
, I guess it won’t even take half a month, and the island country will be able to reach Seoul!"
"It's so damn weak. Even a bunch of pigs can't be like this, right?"
The Joseon Dynasty itself did not expect that it would be so weak. Faced with the letters for help that came like a snowflake, the rulers of the Joseon Dynasty all panicked. At this time, the court was no longer discussing how to block the islanders. Up to the king,
As low as a ninth-grade official, all they could think about was how to escape. They all knew that they could no longer stop the island country.
On that day, the wealthy families in Seoul began to evacuate in large and small packages. The North Korean King Li Huo and the ministers had not left yet. After all, they were the rulers of the kingdom. It was really unreasonable for the enemy to flee when they were still so far away.
However, it didn’t take just a few days for the island country to gain momentum. Just as Zeng Yi and the others had guessed, the island country had traveled hundreds of miles in just a few days and was less than a hundred miles away from Seoul. If the speed was fast enough, it would take at most two days to reach the island country.
You can kill to the gates of Seoul!
After this incident, the nobles of North Korea could no longer stand it. North Korean King Li Huan hurriedly left Seoul and went to Pyongyang, another large city in North Korea. North Korea had obviously not given up on Seoul. Tens of thousands of the most elite troops in the country were left in Seoul.
The King of Korea hopes that this force can rely on Seoul and complete the defensive offensive to stop the islanders.
As the capital of North Korea, Seoul's defensive offensive is very good, even comparable to some big cities in the Central Plains. However, the North Korean army has been defeated in consecutive battles, and its morale has been extremely low. The tens of thousands of troops staying in Seoul all know what they are facing.
In the right situation, I had no intention of fighting at all. After the island nation's army arrived, they only made a few symbolic resistances and then immediately chose to retreat.
Facing such a well-defended city, the island country finally took it in just one day and suffered thousands of casualties.
Seeing that the morale of the North Korean troops was so low and the morale of the island country was greatly shaken, Hideie Ukita immediately ordered a pursuit. The three legions of the island country immediately rushed to Pyongyang. The first, second, and third legions pursued them, broke through the Imjin defense and captured Kaesong.
As a result, North Korean King Ri Ho had to leave Pyongyang and continue his exile to Uiju in the border area.
Zeng Yi and others had been following the rulers of North Korea. After the King of North Korea retreated to Yiju, Zeng Yi knew that it was time for them to take action. Zeng Yi, who once again put on the third-grade court uniform, received very high courtesy this time. The King of North Korea even
Welcome Zeng Yi in person in Yizhou.
"His Royal Highness the King is so polite, how dare I let His Highness personally greet me!"
"Sir Shangguo, you're welcome!"
...
After a few polite words, the North Korean people began to ask anxiously about the attitude of the Central Plains. Zeng Yi sighed and said: "Hey, Your Highness, you sirs don't know something. In fact, our attitude is also very hesitant now. You should also know that at present,
The situation in our country can be described as internal and external troubles!"
"Sir! The Japanese pirates' intention to pursue North Korea is to protect the Central Plains. The Central Plains soldiers' efforts to save North Korea are actually to protect the Central Plains!"
"Hey, we know, but the current situation is indeed a bit troublesome. In my opinion, His Highness should send envoys to the capital as soon as possible. If Lord Supervisor does not speak, Zeng Yi will not be able to send troops!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We will send envoys to meet with the Heavenly Kingdom!"
"Well, we happen to be going back to the capital to report on the situation in North Korea. If you don't mind, your highness can send an envoy to follow us to the capital!"
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. It's too late to thank you. I hope you can return to the capital and help me. This is a great kindness that I, North Korea, will never forget!" With that, the King of North Korea waved his hand and asked someone to bring out a few coins.
A wooden box was placed in front of Zeng.
"I hope you don't dislike these local specialties!"
Zeng Yi looked at the contents in the box, was stunned for a moment, and immediately put on a smile, "Your Highness, you're welcome!" He immediately put away several boxes.
After leaving the temporary residence of the King of Korea, the eldest and the three guys anxiously asked Zeng Yi what good stuff he was! Zeng Yi smiled slightly: "It's really a special local product, but this local product is not simple!"
Zeng Yi took out a box and showed it to several people. Their eyes widened in an instant, "Holy shit, Korean ginseng! It is indeed a genuine local product!" Korean ginseng is a perennial herb, and its cultivation and
The growth conditions are special and are very sensitive to soil and climate. Korean ginseng is afraid of both cold and heat, so it can only grow in places with slanting sunlight. The soil must be dry and rainwater must not be allowed to settle.
In order to win over Zeng Yi and let him help him in the capital, the King of North Korea also spent a lot of money. Several Korean ginseng roots are all over a hundred years old. Korean ginseng of this level can increase the player's internal strength a lot!
"It seems that these North Korean nobles have a lot of good things. When they go to the capital to ask for help, they will definitely bring a lot of good things to you. Do you think we should kill the North Korean envoys on the way and swallow those good things?" The third child
When I saw Korean ginseng, my eyes lit up and I couldn't help but say.
"Haha, you think no one knows when North Korea sends envoys? The imperial court is paying attention to every move of North Korea. I dare say that as soon as the North Korean envoy leaves Uiju, the old prince will know about it. To assassinate the North Korean envoy,
I still want to live a few more days." Zeng Yi looked at the third child, rolled his eyes at him, and said.
At this time, all eight roads in North Korea were lost, and only the Yiju area north of Ping'an Road, close to the Liaodong Peninsula, had not yet been captured by the Japanese army. North Korea's Li Huo knew that without the help of the Central Plains, it would be impossible for him to regain North Korea, so he sent an envoy
At that time, a large number of envoys were sent directly at once. (To be continued)
