The idea of going to Ganghwa Island again went bankrupt, and Li Jie lost his temper.
At the suggestion of Lee Si-baek, the guardian of Namhansan Fortress, he no longer considered going to Ganghwa Island, but decided to defend Namhansan Fortress.
For this reason, Li Zhu adjusted the defense of Namhan Mountain Castle.
The training general Li Jingzhen was in charge of the east city, the commander-in-chief Ju Hong was in charge of the south city, the garrison envoy Li Shibai was in charge of the west city, and the Arms Department promoted Li Shu to be in charge of the north city.
On December 17, when Zuo Yizheng Hong Ruifeng and Hu Cao judged Jin Xingguo, Li Jingji went to the Qing camp again, Li Jie issued the edict.
Announced the policy of "the emperor and his ministers, superior and subordinate, guard the same city together; collegiality has been eliminated, and the only option is war".
At the same time, soldiers were also sent to various parts of North Korea to read out the decree and call on all places to raise troops to serve the king.
However, these soldiers sent out did not succeed, and they were all intercepted and killed on the way by the Qing army.
However, King Qin's troops from all over North Korea had already organized themselves spontaneously and marched towards Namhan Mountain City.
It's just that the North Korean army was unevenly matched, and its generals were timid and fearful of fighting, so their march was very slow.
Marshal Jin Zidian was the first general to learn of the Qing army's attack. He led 10,000 reinforcements south from the Yellow Sea Road. However, he stopped and walked, deliberately avoiding the main force of the Qing army.
Deputy Marshal Shen Jingyuan was very loyal and without any delay, he led a thousand men and horses to Nanhan Mountain City.
As a result, Shen Jingyuan was ambushed by Tan Tai at Luochengling, which was forty miles away from the mountain city of South Korea. Not only was the entire army wiped out, but he himself was also made a prisoner.
Xia Jun, who is hiding on Jeju Island, has been paying close attention to the turmoil on the Korean Peninsula.
Now the entire army has entered a state of combat readiness, waiting for the right time to arrive.
I didn't have to wait long for this opportunity.
A letter was sent from Busan to Jeju Island.
Liu Yiyuan was very happy after seeing it in person.
"Order the Korean rebels to set out immediately, land in Busan, and take over local defense."
Others understand it as soon as they hear it.
"The army in Gyeongsang Province moved?"
Liu Yiyuan showed the letter to everyone.
"The Gyeongsang Province Observer Envoy Shen Yan has not only led his troops, but also specially transferred 3,000 people from Busan. Now the place is extremely empty, and the only remaining force is the naval force under Quan Li. The Dongnae Protectorate Envoy
There is not a single soldier left in Park Chengyin’s hands.”
Gyeongsang Province's observation envoy Shen Yan went north to King Qin this time and took away more than 10,000 troops.
In addition to the troops of Gyeongsang Province's left and right military envoys Xu Wan and Min Yi, they also deliberately pulled away all the three thousand garrison troops in Busan.
Shen Yan did this on purpose.
Because he is Shen Qiyuan's nephew, he has already received instructions.
Li Chuqi sent the order to restore Shen Qiyuan to Busan, but Shen Qiyuan pretended to be ill and did not go to Hanyang to take up his post as he had done in history.
When he learned that Shen Qiyuan fell ill, Li Jian had no choice but to rearrange others to guard Hanyang.
However, there are only 300 soldiers in the entire Hanyang City, and no matter who it is, it is impossible to defend it.
Gushan Erzhen Tan Tai led the powerful general Du Le and others, and it only took an hour to invade Hanyang and occupy the capital of North Korea.
Now that the largest civil servant in Busan, Donglai Duhufu Park Chengyin, the only army that can be directly controlled has been transferred, it is a good time for the Xia army to take over Busan.
As for the name...
Liu Yiyuan summoned Zhang Guanhua, Li Yuanlao and others to discuss the matter face to face.
"You landed in Busan in the name of King Qin of Jeju Island. Quanli will cooperate with you to control Park Sung-yin. Remember, all channels must be blocked to prevent the news from spreading."
Now, over at Namhan Mountain City, North Korea and the Manchu Qing Dynasty are still at odds with each other and will be in a stalemate for some time.
If it is known that Busan has been occupied by a third force, the North Korean Central Committee will surrender immediately. In that case, the Xia army will not have sufficient preparation time.
Zhang Guanhua and Li Yuanlao accepted the order, led their troops to set off on the same day, and took a navy transport ship to Busan.
Shen Qiyuan got the plan earlier than them.
He immediately made an appointment with Quan Li.
The two conspired and invited Pu Chengyin to discuss the matter in the name of supporting Hanyang's grain and grass supply.
Park Chengyin could not have imagined that the North Korean ministers around him would actually rebel.
He came happily. As soon as he entered the courtyard, before he could react, he was controlled by his cronies led by Quan Li.
Looking at the soldiers all around with swords drawn and Shen Qiyuan sitting in front of him, not showing signs of illness, Park Chengyin faintly felt that something was wrong.
"Lord Shen, what do you want to do? Do you denounce peace as false and surrender as true? Do you want to sacrifice yourself to the barbarians and destroy my Korean ancestral temple?"
Shen Qiyuan snorted coldly and scolded: "Today, everyone from top to bottom is fighting desperately to maintain the unity of the country. The only person who wants to negotiate for peace is the leader. It won't be long before he is crawling on Huang Taiji's side. He bowed his head in front of the enemy and betrayed the entire country. It is precisely because we, the righteous people, do not want North Korea to fall into a bloody state that we have to fight hard and hope to survive."
Park Chengyin was stunned.
"You...you...you...are you going to rebel? Do you still have loyalty and righteousness in your eyes? Do you still have your father's country?"
Shen Qiyuan waved his sleeves and said proudly: "Once he chooses to surrender to the barbarians, he will no longer be our king and father."
Park Sung-yin collapsed to the ground, finally understanding that the undercurrent in North Korea had reached the point of a landslide.
With calculated calculations and unintentional calculations, and with military power in hand, Shen Qiyuan and Quan Li jointly controlled all the North Korean officials in Busan in just one day.
That night, the North Korean rebels landed at the Busan Pier.
"General Quan, the army is still behind. It will take a few days at most to arrive. No one knows how long the news can be concealed. Therefore, our army needs to rush to the Nakdong River immediately to establish a defense line. Please send a guide to lead us forward."
Quan Li's eyes were filled with eagerness as he looked at the fully armed and brand-new Korean rebels led by Zhang Guanhua and Li Yuanlao.
Although he is the commander of the navy in Gyeongsang Province, he is supposed to have a high position. But if he looks at the scrawled soldiers under his command, and then looks at the troops opposite him who are also Korean but brave and powerful, he will know how big the gap is.
When will I be able to command such an army?
Quan Liang didn't have time to express too much emotion, so he quickly sent out guides and led more than 5,000 Korean rebels through Busan and headed straight for Jinjingsan Fortress.
The vast darkness of night can cover up traces, but it cannot hide the eyes of interested people.
In the dark Japanese pavilion, someone quickly entered.
"Sir, there are troops coming to Busan. They are large in number, but I don't know where they came from. We dare not get close, but these troops have many guns and guns, and they are definitely not Korean troops. In my opinion, North Korea may have Big change.”
The person sitting on top is Nagata Jianlian, the envoy sent by Japan to Busan.
Although he was ostensibly responsible for the affairs between Japan and North Korea, he was actually a spy sent by Japan to North Korea.
After learning the new situation, a flash of fanaticism flashed in Nagata Jianlian's eyes.
"Quickly pass the news to Da'ao. The opportunity for me to expand our territory in Japan and land on the mainland may be just around the corner."
