The Dongjiang Army occupied some places in the north of North Korea and bordered the Han Dynasty on land. After receiving the imperial edict to punish pirates, it had already launched an attack with infantry. At the beginning, it was easy to defeat the civilian Red Guards.
, even if there are more than ten shotguns in each village, how can they stop the wolf-like tiger Dongjiang Army?
Moreover, there are many nobles from the former North Korea in the Dongjiang Army. Some of them hate those mud-legged bandits even more than the bandits in Dongjiang. After massacring two villages, the news has spread to Pyongyang, and then they were
The message was rushed eight hundred miles to Seoul.
After hearing the news, Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment. When he was about to speak, Lin Mengchu became furious. She stood up from her chair and said sternly: "The Dongjiang Army has betrayed its trust and is outrageous!"
Before, they gave weapons and armor, as well as food and territory. The price they paid was not small, but in exchange for this? The Dongjiang Army and Jiannu fought bloody battles, but once they let go, they would cause harm to the people.
, is also a first-class expert.
Lin Mengchu said to Chen Cheng, who was frowning: "What else is there to think about? If he dares to stretch out his dog's paw, just chop it off. Let's see if they dare again in the future."
Chen Cheng nodded and headed for Pyongyang with thousands of infantry and cavalry. Pyongyang's guard Cui Chengxiu had already mobilized nearby rural soldiers. Together, there were more than 10,000 people. After the Agrarian Revolution, the government had more money and food at its disposal.
, the number of troops that can be mobilized has also increased a lot.
If only ten more days and a half were given, even an army of fifty thousand would be within easy reach, but Lin Mengchu said, "Ten thousand people are enough to deal with the Dongjiang Army!"
The five thousand imperial troops stationed in Seoul are already equipped with a large number of infantry cannons and flintlock muskets. Chen Cheng's idea of building an army is to rely on firepower to make up for the lack of cavalry. Among these five thousand people, there are also one thousand under the command of Kawanaka Haru.
Japanese samurai. After seizing Korea and founding the country, Haru Kawanaka suddenly became the founding hero. He had official positions, land, money, honors, etc., he had everything. He did not forget his fellow Japanese, and in order to expand
With his own power, he suggested to Chen Cheng that he could recruit more wandering samurai from Japan to fight the war.
Although the current emperor of the Han Dynasty is Lin Mengchu, everyone still turns to Chen Cheng to solve their problems. Because the emperor basically doesn't care about anything, and he can think of things as they happen.
Chen Cheng knew that there were hundreds of thousands of ronin and low-level samurai on the Japanese archipelago who could not find a way out and knew nothing but the ability to kill people, so he readily agreed. Although those Japanese samurai had average combat effectiveness, they were much stronger than the militiamen.
And the most important thing is being cheap and obedient.
The money to raise a heavy armored cavalry is enough to raise four or five Japanese samurai. After I heard that the Han Dynasty was recruiting samurai to fight, and had a senior like Haruya Kawazaka as a role model, I wanted to come to the Han Kingdom to make a living.
There were as many ronin and samurai as they wanted, and soon there were a thousand people.
In addition to the Japanese, some people from the Ming Dynasty also came over. The Tsushima Strait is so narrow that you can just take a boat and come over. One of them is the son of the pirate king Li Dan who once dominated the southeast, named Li Guozhu. Li Dan
After his death, Li Guoshu accepted Li Dan's power, but Zheng Zhilong and Liu Laoxiang immediately challenged him.
Li Guozhu was a little worried at first, but after hearing that his colleagues had conquered three thousand miles of North Korea and successfully founded the country, he couldn't help but feel excited. We are all pirates. If Chen Cheng, Lin Mengchu and others could take over a country, why couldn't he?
But when he arrived in Han Dynasty, he found that things were not that simple. Even if he knew some things, he could not learn them. The man named Chen Cheng had a terrible magical power that could make the people below become
Extremely fanatical. He just listened to one lecture and almost fell at the opponent's feet.
But he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, so he chose to defect to the Han Kingdom and became a general of the Han Kingdom. Although the Pirate King sounds majestic, how can it be as satisfying as becoming the leader of a party? Of course, he is very interested in it.
The Han Dynasty did not have much loyalty at all. It was just to increase the power in its hands to fight against traitors such as Zheng Zhilong and Liu Laoxiang.
These are all things for later. Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu led more than 10,000 people north to fight the Dongjiang Army. Under the bombardment of artillery and flintlock guns, the Dongjiang Army, which also lacked horses, was killed and corpses were scattered all over the field. In fact, when the first
When the shells fell, the morale of the Dongjiang Army had already dropped to freezing point.
Later, Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu personally led more than a thousand light cavalry to pursue and kill them all the way to the vicinity of Tieshan, killing and capturing more than 4,000 people. The Dongjiang Army's combat effectiveness was average, but their escape skills were very good. They were beheaded and captured.
Most of those captured were the two nobles who were given to Mao Wenlong. After the battle, the people below reported that they had captured some generals of the Dongjiang Army, such as Li Jiuheng, and asked what to do with them.
Lin Mengchu waved his hand and said, "Cut them all!"
Chen Cheng said: "It would be a waste to kill them all. Behead the generals and let Shang Yangwu deliver the head to Mao Wenlong. The soldiers will be demoted to slaves and taken to the mountains to mine."
Lin Mengchu never cared much about these things and said casually: "That's okay."
After defeating the Dongjiang Army on land, Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu worked non-stop and immediately prepared to attack the Ming Dynasty's navy. This time, Denglai, Liao Town and the Dongjiang Army were dispatched together, claiming to be an army of 50,000, but were there any actual number of soldiers?
It's hard to say 20,000. It took a month of procrastination to complete the assembly, and then sailed to Han.
Thousands of sails competed on the sea, and the Ming army officers and soldiers were high-spirited and determined to destroy the imperial eclipse, until they saw the thick smoke rising from the sea. The Denglai Navy had long since stopped sailing, and the ships on this expedition were
Most of them were obtained from the private sector. The ability to send troops within a month was due to the great efforts of the courtiers and local officials in the Ming Dynasty.
But what’s going on with the many lines of black smoke? No one has ever seen this thing!
"Woo!"
The whistle sounded far away from the sea, and the majestic figures of four first-class battleships appeared in the sight of the Ming Dynasty Navy.
"This... such a big ship?"
Twelve battleships were divided into two teams and surrounded them on the left and right. More than a hundred cannons roared, blowing up the broken ships of the Ming army. To be honest, the Han navy performed very poorly, both in terms of gunnery and cooperation.
They all look a bit busy. But with faster speed and more powerful cannons, what kind of bike do you need?
Unskilled was unskilled, and the Ming army on the opposite side was even worse. It couldn't even be described as an army. After two rounds of shelling, the Ming army's fleet immediately fell into panic. Everyone fled in panic, but the galleys
How to outrun a coal-burning steam battleship?
After more than ten ships were sunk, more than ten more ships chose to surrender, and only three or two kittens escaped. Just like the North Korean navy, after just one battle, the Ming army's navy
It has become a historical term. The 50,000-strong army was completely wiped out before it even arrived on the land of Han.
Although we suffered such a huge defeat, it cannot be said to be entirely a bad thing. At least, we can take this opportunity to balance the accounts and ask for more pensions, right? Anyway, the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty are very capable.
Because the weather has turned cold, many Ming soldiers who fell into the water froze to death, and less than two thousand soldiers were rescued. In addition to more than 300 brave and brave people who were selected, other people were also rescued.
Throw it into the mine. North Korea has more people and less land, but it is still rich in mineral resources. It needs a lot of coolies to be a socialist... and to contribute to the development of Han Dynasty.
The first year of Chongzhen began with a high and a low. At the beginning, Dongjiang Town sent 3,000 heads of slaves, which made Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian overjoyed. In October, 50,000 troops were on their way to conquer the puppet Han Dynasty.
The entire army was wiped out and the Denglai Navy ceased to exist. It could no longer provide support to Dongjiang Town, nor could it control Dongjiang Town with food and salary.
After defeating the Ming navy, Lin Mengchu and Chen Cheng led the fleet to bombard the military port in Denglai, and then headed to Tianjin, bombarding the Tianjin port into a sea of flames. They also sent marines ashore to remove the supplies in the port.
After looting everything, they fled before the Ming army arrived.
When something like this happened, Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that he beheaded more than a dozen generals, all of whom had lost their troops and horses. None of the civil servants were touched. Killing was refreshing, but how should the matter be resolved? Login
Laishui Division no longer exists, and thieves can come and leave whenever they want. Tianjin is so close to Beijing. If there is another landing, wouldn't the capital be in danger?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't sleep at night. In order to resist the pirates, after discussing with the ministers in the court, he levied a new tax, the "Pinghai Tax"!
Our Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, what do we not have? All we have to do is collect an extra six million taels of silver to build warships. There are so many people in the world, and each household can just pay one more tael of silver to make up for it.
But immediately, the Emperor of Han released a few prisoners and brought back the credentials of His Majesty Emperor Hongwu. There was nothing else in the credentials, except that he hoped that the two families would stop the war and trade with each other. But when he saw Hongwu
With the word "Emperor", no one dares to agree to such conditions.
Emperor Chongzhen was also furious. He tore his credentials to pieces on the spot, and then ordered people to chop up the prisoners who came back with their credentials. After receiving this reply, Lin Mengchu curled his lips and said, "If that's the case, then
We won’t be able to blame you anymore.”
But for the time being, the Han Dynasty has not set its sights on the Ming Dynasty, and does not even want to fight Jiannu. Anyway, there is the Dongjiang Army in the north for the time being. As long as Mao Wenlong is still there, Jiannu will not dare to stay in Han for a long time. Facts
Chen Cheng was very doubtful whether Hong Tai would have the courage to attack Han again after Amin died in battle last year.
This year, Hong Tai came to Liaoxi as usual, and cut off all the grain outside the city. Then he arrested thousands of people, then turned around and headed west, giving this generation of "Genghis Khan" a beating.
, which can be regarded as restoring some morale. As for North Korea and the Dongjiang Army? No one is willing to fight a losing battle.
