I am the carpenter king

Chapter 622 Surprise Attack on Seoul

Dama walked on the land of North Korea, Duoduo always had a smile on his face, and the whole team was filled with excitement after the looting.Beside him was Azig who was traveling with him, and he and Azig led the troops to North Korea this time.

Originally, Dorgon planned to send troops to North Korea in the spring, but things backfired because of the problem of selecting generals, which has been delayed until now.Many people supported Dabeile to lead the army on behalf of Shan, but they were opposed by Dorgon.He will never hand over the military power to Daishan easily, and it is obviously not yet that time.

However, Duoduo was too young to lead the army, and in the end Duoduo and Azig were the leading generals. For this decision, Dorgon wasted a lot of effort.Dorgon, Azig, and Duo Duo are one-milk compatriots. When it comes to trust, Dorgon naturally believes in these two people.

Azig and Duoduo did not disappoint either. After crossing Changbai Mountain, the Houjin army was in full swing.After conquering more than a dozen cities and looting countless times, the Golden Cavalry seems to have regained their self-confidence all at once.After several wars against Ming Dynasty, all of them were defeated, and Hou Jin's morale fell to the bottom for a while.Because of Emperor Tianqi's blockade of the smuggling trade, Houjin's life became increasingly difficult.

However, this war against North Korea seems to have regained confidence for the Eight Banners.

In the mountain forest twenty miles outside Chunchuan City on the North Han River, Azig commanded five thousand cavalry to cut wood and build rafts.Shouting loudly from time to time, Azig's face showed a bit of urgency, after all, time waits for no one.

"Master Belle, do we really want to go directly to Seoul? Although the raft ride is fast, what about our war horses? Are they all going to be placed here?" A commander walked to Azig's side and gave Azig respectfully Ge saluted, and asked with doubts and a bit of fear on his face.

In the eyes of many people, this is not a wise choice. You must know that Eight Banners disciples can only ride on horses.That is a powerful existence.They are nothing without their horses.As infantry, although the Eight Banners are still brave in combat, their combat effectiveness is not high.

Glancing at the commander, Azig frowned, this time his people plundered North Korea.But it's not just for supplies.These people also bring some political figures with them, that is to teach the North Koreans a lesson, a lesson of betraying themselves.If you can kill Injo and the Western People's Party, and let the North Korean king who supports you step down, that is the most important thing.

But for such a purpose, he would not tell the commander, just nodded lightly, and Azig said in a deep voice: "This matter has been decided, we are just going to make a stand! Our horses will Dodo is looking after them. We are only going to 5000 people, you don't have to worry."

Although he had such a political purpose, after discussing with Dodo, Azig felt that the attack on Seoul would be the biggest blow to North Korea.They also have another purpose, which is to disrupt North Korea and make Daming think that their main force is here.If the Ming people think that their rear is empty, then Dorgon's strategy will have room to implement.

After discussing with Azig and Duoduo.I think a surprise attack on Seoul is definitely a good way.No matter whether you can capture Seoul or not.This is not a must.As for his own retreat being cut off, Azig was not worried at all. He didn't think anyone could catch up with his cavalry.Even if the Ming army really sent troops to North Korea, people like themselves just robbed and ran away, and they couldn't do anything about it.

"Brother, how are things going?" Duoduo, dressed in military uniform, came over.Said with a slightly dignified expression.Although Duo Duo was still very young at this time, he was mature.After several wars, Duoduo has grown from a young man to a qualified general.

Because he is a first-class compatriot, Azig is the boss.Both Dodo and Dorgon call themselves Big Brother in private.Azig didn't think there was anything wrong, and he didn't care about other attitudes.He nodded slowly, and said: "The speed is very fast, and it will be done in two days! But we only have 5000 people here, do we have horses, and I am afraid that we will suffer a loss in the face of the North Korean army in Seoul!"

This is what Azig has always been worried about. Although the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army is low, it has a large number after all.There are only 5000 people on my side, but there are 4 defenders in Seoul!If a fight really broke out, and people like myself couldn't escape calmly, I'm afraid the end would not be very good.

"Brother, the Koreans dare not go out of the city! Besides, you don't need to fight them in the field, just find a good place, build a fortification, and wait for work! Although my brother is not as fast as you, I will definitely rush there as soon as possible to surprise them. "Dodo waved his hand indifferently. In his opinion, the Korean army cannot be called an army. It is more appropriate to call it a mob.

They only dared to hide in the city, and would not rush out of the city. Duoduo did not think highly of them from the bottom of his heart.If Duduo had anything to worry about, it was the army of the Ming Dynasty!If they are not fooled and do not adopt the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west, but directly send troops to North Korea, they will be in trouble.

But trouble is trouble, and there is absolutely no danger.I may be facing the army of the Ming Dynasty, but if I want to run, they can't stop me.Besides, he may not have no chance to win in the wild.The previous defeats were all because the Eight Banners attacked the Ming Dynasty.

Azig nodded, and he also felt that what Duduo said made sense, the Korean army could still be called an army.If North Korea can be broken, then this time it will definitely be a rewarding experience.

"Brother, you must block Seoul as much as possible, and don't spread the news. I will go directly to Seoul, so that the Korean royal family has no time to react. If you rush there step by step, I am afraid that you will face King Qin from all over North Korea." The army is here!" Glancing at Azig, Duoduo pressed the knife on his waist and ordered.

Glancing at Duduo with a smile, Azig patted him on the shoulder, and said indifferently: "It's not the first time that elder brother has come out to fight, and I still need you to pay! Do your job well, don't be on the road Delay, otherwise things will become very troublesome."

Looking at the kind eyes of the elder brother, Doduo felt warm in his heart, nodded firmly, and said, "Don't worry, elder brother, there will be no problem!" Although he was calm on the surface, Doduo still felt a little nervous in his heart. Just happened.However, after listening to Azig's words, Dodo's mood was obviously calmer.

Duoduo and Azig are preparing nervously, and the Ming army has just crossed the Yalu River at this time!For Zhu Xieyuan, this battle is a battle of his prestige, and he naturally attaches great importance to it in his heart.Because he must win the battle, he did not ask the Ming army to march quickly.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi was looking at the military newspaper, which was from Liaodong, which described Zhu Xieyuan's battle plan in detail.At the same time, there is Zhu Xieyuan's opinion to Emperor Tianqi, which is to send troops to evaluate the plan to build slaves.

Putting down the report in his hand, Emperor Tianqi turned his eyes to Sun Chengzong, who was on the side, and said with a smile: "Sir, what do you think of Zhu Xieyuan's strategy?"

"Your Majesty, I have no objections! Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch, and the employment is very suitable. Zhu Xieyuan is indeed more suitable than Xiong Tingbi to be the governor of Liaodong. This incident can be simply regarded as Jiannu's robbery, or it may be regarded as Jiannu's. A trap. No matter what, Zhu Xieyuan’s arrangement is impeccable.” If Sun Chengzong had doubts about Emperor Tianqi’s appointment of Zhu Xieyuan as the governor of Liaodong, it is true that the doubts have disappeared now.

Although the soldiers and horses in Liaodong were strong and strong at this time, it was still a bit powerless to rely on the people and horses in Liaodong to pacify the slaves.Even if it can be done, it will definitely not have an overwhelming advantage, which is obviously not in line with the current situation.What's more, it is obviously extremely inappropriate to declare a large-scale war on Jiannu at this time of year.

Zhu Xieyuan has a very good view of the overall situation. He does not pursue short-term gains and losses, but can see the long-term.In the face of great achievements, it is really not easy to still maintain one's self.In Sun Chengzong's view, if Xiong Tingbi was in charge of Liaodong, he might directly adopt the method of besieging Wei and saving Zhao this time.

On the one hand, Zhu Xieyuan sent troops to North Korea by himself, on the other hand, he arranged for Zuo Liangyu in Liaodong, and at the same time, He Shixian was stationed in Shenyang. No matter what happened, he could handle it all. If it was him, Sun Chengzong would probably do the same.

After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile, "Mr. is absurd, but I am very satisfied with Zhu Xieyuan's actions. I don't know what you think about the plan later? About the opinion about sending troops to put down Jiannu."

"Your Majesty, this matter may be put on the agenda! After all, the soldiers in Liaodong have been strong and strong in the past few years, and the people in the Beijing camp are also well-trained. Only by concentrating superior forces, it will not be a problem." Sun Chengzong pondered for a while, Then he said: "However, we can wait until the reform of the military system is completed before taking action. After all, the imperial court still needs a large army to stabilize people's hearts."

Sun Chengzong's words were very polite, but Emperor Tianqi understood. After all, the reform of the military system touched the interests of the military.Once someone takes a desperate risk, the imperial army can be used as a deterrent, and it can even be used to counter the rebellion.It seems that Sun Chengzong is still worried about things in the northwest, and Emperor Tianqi has also received some secret reports that Ding Guogong has encountered some difficulties in the military system reform in the northwest.

The main problem appeared in Shaanxi and Shanxi, but Emperor Tianqi was not worried, this was what he had expected a long time ago.I believe that it will definitely get better after a while, Emperor Tianqi has this confidence.Smiling at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Tianqi said softly: "Sir, what you said makes sense, let's let this matter go for now! Jiannu is already under the knife, and it's the same whenever you do it." (To be completed continued..)
