The ones who attacked the Goryeo Army were the already notorious red shirt thieves in Liaodong. After they had plundered enough in the Shengjing area, they returned to the Bohai Sea by boat. There were logistics ships anchored on the sea, and they resupplied them with weapons and ammunition before setting off again, this time.
Heading towards the Yalu River, the navy and land forces advanced together. When they reached the Yalu River, they saw a large group of empty Qing army ships moored on the river bank. The Ming army knew that there might be a large amount of Goryeo supplies to cross the river. Who knew that three thousand troops arrived?
The men and horses took advantage of this. They attacked from three sides and annihilated this Korean army in just a moment.
Liu Ziguang had never seen the Goryeo army before, and he couldn't help laughing when he looked at it. The Goryeo soldiers didn't even have helmets, let alone body armor. They were all wearing white robes and strange little hats on their heads. The weapons were also very funny, with three-pronged forks.
Most of them looked like a group of patrolling Yaksha. Their short weapons were steel knives in the style of Japanese swords, but the quality was obviously not as good as those of Japanese swords.
The Red Shirt Army came and went like the wind, and there was no condition or need to take prisoners with them. However, he was unwilling to let these prisoners go on the spot. Liu Ziguang immediately became murderous as soon as his eyes rolled, and he hacked these people to death directly on the river.
It can bring huge psychological shock to the Goryeo court and put certain pressure on the Qing court.
Just when he was thinking about how to execute these surrendered soldiers, he suddenly heard a cooing sound. He looked up and saw that the sound was coming from among the Korean surrendered soldiers. They were clearly hungry. Alas, Liu Ziguang's compassionate heart came to him.
Well, we can't let people starve to death. It happened to be lunch time at noon, so he said to the lieutenant: "Let them eat and let them go on the road in peace."
The Korean soldiers sat down on the spot under the supervision of the fire gun, took out the dry food and the kettle and started to eat. Their food was very poor. It was steamed buns with stick noodles and spicy cabbage in a jar, plus white water, and it was a meal.
, watching the dark and skinny Korean soldiers eating steamed buns with kimchi, Liu Ziguang suddenly overflowed with sympathy, thinking that these people might not be able to eat meat several times a year, so why not let them have a good meal before they die?
Ask his subordinates to bring out canned meat and compressed biscuits for the prisoners to eat.
The marching rations of the Red Shirt Army are high-calorie and delicious food. The canned meat is made of high-quality yellow beef, which is cooked at high temperature with sufficient seasonings. The compressed biscuits are pressed and baked with refined flour, salt, sugar, lard, and egg powder.
As a result, the Korean soldiers who came from the remote countryside could not even see shredded meat in the military camp all year round. It was considered a holiday to eat oily dishes. Now they suddenly ate such delicious food, many soldiers had their tongues bitten out.
He was bleeding, and there were smacking sounds all over the place, as if he was still savoring this delicacy that only gods could enjoy.
In the end, the Korean soldiers replenished all the cans, and the officers hid the empty boxes on their bodies and could not bear to throw them away. There was no dregs of the compressed biscuits left, and many people hid some of the compressed biscuits on their bodies.
Let the family members taste the delicacies when they have the opportunity to go home in the future. Seeing that they were full and full of food and drink, the red shirt soldiers took out cigarettes and asked the Korean officers to taste them while looking for an open space to shoot people.
Luxury goods such as cigarettes have become popular among the upper classes in Manchu, Mongolia, Goryeo and other places. Only the real nobles can buy them. Most people can't even smell the smell of cigarettes. These officers have only seen soldiers.
Lord Judgment had smoked cigarettes smuggled from the Ming Dynasty, and now he could finally taste them. He was pleasantly surprised again. They clumsily bit the cigarettes in their mouths and waited for the red-shirted soldiers to light cigarettes for them. The red-shirted soldiers were smiling.
After dispersing the cigarettes in his hands, he took out lighters and lit them one by one, and patted their shoulders as if they were close friends. The Korean officers were not used to smoking for the first time, and many of them choked.
He coughed, causing a burst of laughter. There were more people than smoke, so they each took a puff and passed it around to enjoy, but only among the officers. The rank of the Goryeo army was strict, and the soldiers were not qualified to enjoy the blessings with the officers. Looking at the officials
They were puffing away smoke, all with small eyes. The red-shirted soldiers looked at it funny, and opened another cigarette for the soldiers to smoke. There was smoke everywhere by the Green River, and there were coughs and laughter everywhere. Who would have thought that for a moment
Later this place will become a place of execution.
The execution place was found, it was a high cliff by the river. The prisoners were pushed up and shot in one shot, then pushed directly from the cliff into the river. The red-shirted soldiers rolled up their sleeves and fired the hammers of the muskets.
He opened his mouth, put away his kind smile, and was about to take the first wave of prisoners back to his hometown, when all these Korean soldiers suddenly knelt down.
The red-shirted soldiers were dumbfounded. What was going on? Did they know that a disaster was coming? But it didn't look like it. There were tears in these people's eyes and their expressions were excited. It didn't look like they were begging for mercy. They were thinking one by one.
Da made the soldiers dizzy. Fortunately, some Goryeo officers could speak Chinese and said in Chinese with a Liaodong accent: "The army of the Celestial Empire is really a benevolent and powerful force. Our emperor was threatened by the Qing Dynasty before he hastily sent out troops. He really did not agree with the Ming Dynasty."
The idea of being an enemy, now that I have missed my military term, it is better to surrender to the general of the Celestial Dynasty, which is also a clear path."
All the Korean soldiers were lying on the ground and kowtowing like garlic. They looked sincere. The red-shirted soldiers quickly reported to Liu Ziguang. Liu Ziguang was also surprised when he heard this. The Korean people are too cheap. They would just eat two pieces of meat.
If you submit to me and eat meat every time, you have to forget your last name.
"Call their leader to me."
After a while, a short and chubby officer was brought to Liu Ziguang, and he kowtowed respectfully. He spoke Chinese fluently, and was obviously from the elite class of Korea: "The younger Jin Zaicao kowtowed to the generalissimo;
The army is led by the third-rank official, who is leading the army north this time. The younger one is the marching commander."
Liu Ziguang said: "Why do you want to surrender?"
Jin Zaicao grabbed the ground with his head: "Generalissimo Mingjian, I and my subordinates were all killed by traitors and forced to come to Liaodong. The Manchu Tatars couldn't stand up to the Chinese army so they forced us, Goryeo, to join the war. How pitiful
The king was deceived by traitorous ministers and sent us to die. To be honest with the generalissimo, I had already thought about it along the way. When I arrived in front of the army, I would switch sides and surrender to the Celestial Empire. However, I didn't expect that the heavenly soldiers would come so quickly. I just crossed the Yalu River.
It’s really a blessing for you guys to meet the Generalissimo. Now that we have met by chance, the Generalissimo must never abandon us. We don’t want anything, we just want to eat. Besides, the heavenly soldiers fight like this
Thank you for your hard work. After returning to camp, you don’t have to boil some hot water to wash your feet or something like that. We can just do this errand!"
Liu Ziguang couldn't help but feel a chill when Jin Zaicao said all that. But then he thought about it, if this group of people really surrendered, wouldn't it be a bigger blow to the Manchus and Goliaths, so he said: "Since
If you are determined to surrender, then show some sincerity. The left bank is Dandong County of the Qing Dynasty. You go and seize the county seat, kill all the Qing soldiers, and I will accept you."
Jin Zaicao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately vowed to issue a military order, and would not take Dandong to raise his head. Liu Ziguang had people give them skewers and knives, and asked them to attack Dandong County, and also sent a group of soldiers to follow.
Monitor.
Jin Zaicao and his officers gathered together for a while, and they all believed that this was the only chance to survive. They were now disliked by both sides. The Qing people used them as cannon fodder, and the Korean people used them as gifts. It would be better if everyone on the left and right died.
I am looking for a big backer to survive. Since I want to get a certificate of surrender, I should show the majesty of the Goryeo warriors and fight a good battle to show my backer."
The decision was made, and the two thousand remaining Goryeo soldiers mustered up their energy, thinking about the delicious taste of canned beef and compressed biscuits, and headed towards Dandong County. Although it was a border city, because Goryeo had always surrendered, there were very few troops stationed in Dandong, and they were overwhelmed by the Goryeo army.
They stormed the city and broke through. The Koryo army was eager to perform their duties and went on a killing spree, not sparing the officers, soldiers and civilians. After a massacre, except for some fast-running Qing soldiers, the entire Dandong County was wiped out with blood. In fact, they also knew that Dandong
The majority of the people in the county were from the Korean ethnic group, so they were all killing their own compatriots, but for the sake of meritorious service, they didn't care much.
After massacring Dandong County, this group of Goryeo soldiers had officially drawn a clear line with the Manchus. Liu Ziguang could use them with confidence. After much deliberation, he finally gave these people the designation of Buyong Goryeo Camp of the Ming Dynasty Beiyang Navy.
It can be regarded as the Ming army sequence.
The mission of the Korean battalion is to be stationed at Pi Island at the mouth of the Yalu River, waiting for opportunities to harass the Manchus. There is no need to worry about military ration supplies. The 100,000 dans of military rations donated by Korea to the Manchus have been intercepted. In addition to the ones transported back to Shanhaiguan, 10,000 dans were left behind.
In addition, the Red Shirt Army left a batch of canned meat and compressed biscuits, and promised to send ships to Yanglei Island at regular intervals.
Before leaving, Liu Ziguang explained the focus of the mission to Jin Zaicao. Although the Goryeo camp did not have many troops, its victory was due to its obvious geographical advantage. It strangled the mouth of the Yalu River, controlled the reinforcement materials Goryeo continued to send to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and harassed the Manchu Qing from time to time.
Cities along the river are their mission.
Jin Zaicao is a smart man, and he still has the ability to control his subordinates to inspire people. Moreover, Liu Ziguang saw a hint of ambition in his eyes, so he drew a cake for him and told him about the history of the Goryeo Dynasty. The current King of Goryeo
He is a descendant of the former general Li Chenggui. Li Chenggui also rebelled brazenly on the way to lead his troops to fight in the Central Plains. He turned around and overthrew the imperial court and proclaimed himself king.
At this time, Jin Zaicao already knew that the Ming army commander in front of him was the famous Zhenwu Marquis Liu Ziguang, and he was very excited. The hidden meaning of Liu Ziguang's words also aroused his ambition. The man's fame was about to be achieved, so why bother?
Fighting and fighting for them, now there is such a great future in front of us. If we use it properly, it will not be to become a prince or prime minister, but to face the south and the north, and be called a lonely person...
