Dragon Sea Empire

Liaoyang has been a long-lasting famous city since the Han Dynasty.In the early years of this dynasty.In the fourth year of Hongwu (1371), Liu Yi, the Pingzhang of Liaoyang Province in the Yuan Dynasty, handed over the map of Liaodong Prefecture and counties and the inventory of soldiers, horses, money and food to the Ming Dynasty.Express surrender.Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang happily rewarded Liu Yi.At the same time, the Liaodong Guard Command and Envoy Division was set up.Soon it was changed to Dingliao Duwei Commander Division.This is the beginning of the establishment of rule in Liaoyang by the Ming Dynasty.Hongwu eight years.Changed Liaoduwei to Liaodongdu Commander Division.It is called Liaodong Capital for short.It will gradually develop in the future.It has jurisdiction over 25 guards in the Liaodong area.Liaoyang became the political, economic and cultural center where the Ming Dynasty ruled Liaodong and even the entire Northeast.The Ming Dynasty operated for more than 290 years in the Liaoyang calendar.The circumference of the city is sixteen miles, [-] five steps.It ranks first among the cities in Northeast China.The city has a large population.The streets are bustling.

Yang Gao still has a little prestige in Liaoyang.The Li family general and some people in the Liaodong capital regard him as a shield.When the court pursues responsibility, they will not hesitate to push Yang Gao out.And now.On the surface, they still regard Yang Gao as the city guard of Liaoyang.Everyone has no confidence regardless of defense.They are all planning to break through.

When the vanguard of the Qin Liangyu Department of the Sichuan Army assaulted the city of Liaoyang.Nurhachi's troops had just started moving south from Shenyang.Haven't reached Liaoyang yet.At this time, if the Liaoyang Ming army can go out of the city to respond.Qin Liangyu's Sichuan army could at least break into the city to rest.

Then.When the Liaoyang Ming Army discovered that the Eight Banners soldiers who besieged the city went to the east of the city to block the Sichuan Army.But they took the opportunity to break out from the west gate of Liaoyang City.Ran.

The vanguard of the Shijie chieftain army.When the two brothers Qin Bangping and Qin Minping, the deputy generals, rushed to the Taizi River.It has been discovered that there are not many Eight Banners soldiers surrounding Liaoyang.They don't understand why when the enemy's troops are empty.The Ming army in Liaoyang did not go out of the city to meet them.I thought that the Eight Banners soldiers had another ambush.Plus it was getting late.While camping by the Taizi River.On the one hand, they sent envoys to Liaoyang to contact the Ming army under Yang Gao.

result.The envoys of the Sichuan Army ran back overnight in shock.The report said that Liaoyang was an empty city. The 3 Ming troops defending the city are nowhere to be seen.

The Qin brothers were shocked.Immediately sent an order to pull out the camp and retreat.But it was too late.All the troops surrounded by the Eight Banners soldiers came up.He dragged the forward troops of the Sichuan Army to the Taizi River.Wait until daylight breaks.The main force of Nurhachi's Eight Banners marched rapidly overnight.Appeared in time on the north bank of Prince River.The Sichuan Army's vanguard white-armed soldiers became a lone army.Desperate resistance in the encirclement.After killing thousands of Eight Banners elites.Because of being outnumbered, the whole army was destroyed.Of the [-] white soldiers of the Sichuan Army, only a hundred or so escaped the dead end.

……

at the same time.On both sides of the Taedong River in the west of Pyongyang, North Korea.Chinese infantry units are preparing to land.Countless black-clothed soldiers carried flintlock guns on their backs.Climb down the rope net like a fishing net.Transfer to the boat.Then hit the river bank again.This kind of landing operation process has been developed and matured by the Chinese Army for more than ten years.Now the Chinese army is familiar with the use of it.

Dozens of shallow-draft gunboats and fast ships sailed back and forth across the Datong River with their sails.Continuously bombard both sides of the Datong River with a total of more than 200 cannons on these warships.Continue to disperse the sparse North Korean army.Hundreds of multi-paddle centipede boats covered the Datong River.2000 Marines from the Ryukyu Corps of the Sailor Marine Corps are gradually landing on the north bank of the Datong River.As a landing vanguard force, it opened up a bridgehead on the north bank of the Datong River.but.The expected North Korean counterattack did not happen.The defense of the North Korean army along the river is almost equal to zero.

The North Koreans never expected it anyway.Someone will come here from the sea.

Bombardment ships carrying huge mortars made their first appearance on the battlefield.The Chinese Army transformed two flat-bottomed sand boats.The deck of each ship is covered with sand and filled with sandbags.Reinforced the hull.On the deck was placed a huge thunder mortar cannon.When the bombardment ship arrives at the bombardment position.The mast was lowered.The deck was cleared.Then start at a rate of 4 minutes.500 to 1000 kilograms of heavy iron explosive bombs were used to bombard the fortifications of the North Korean army in the south of Pyongyang.

Several fortresses of the North Korean army in the south of Pyongyang were quickly captured by Chinese sailors and marines.The rest of the North Korean fortresses along the river were not bombarded by bombardment ships.It is to raise your hands and surrender.

The chief of the Chinese Army's North Korean march is Zhao Tie, the commander of the First Division.At this moment, they have already landed on the north bank of the Datong River.I was observing the direction of Pyongyang from the Chuondong Fort, which was formerly guarded by the North Korean army.

"Yan Siqi, the commander of the Fifth Division, sent someone to report: The Second Battalion of the Fifth Division has occupied Zhonghe, an important traffic artery south of the Datong River. There were no casualties."

"Urgent report from the Ryukyu Corps of the Sailor Marine Corps: Three sentry teams of the Marine Corps have occupied the wild yard in the east of Pyongyang City. They are confronting thousands of North Korean troops from Pyongan Province. Requesting additional reinforcements..."

"The Cavalry Battalion of the First Division has an urgent report: the headquarters has captured Qianfushan, ten miles north of Pyongyang City. There is no resistance."

Cao Tai, the supervisor of the First Division, took over the report for Zhao Tie.He said excitedly: "Brother Zhao. Our army started from breaking into the mouth of the Datong River. But in three days, we have already reached the city of Pyongyang. It is really smooth."

Zhao Tie put down his binoculars.He smiled coldly: "The army of the Korean vassal state is like tofu. Our army captured the towns of Nanpu, Tiedao, and Huangzhou at the mouth of the Datong River. It took only two days. Our army only lost three people and injured more than 20 people. I really don’t know what the North Korean army has been doing for the past [-] years since it was withdrawn from the Japanese army.”

By this time it was getting late.Two Chinese bomber ships have just berthed at the ferry outside Datong Gate in the southern city of Pyongyang.Begin direct bombardment of Pyongyang city wall fortifications.More than a dozen other gunboats also berthed at the ferry outside Datongmen.Continuous artillery bombardment of the Pyongyang city defense system.

A full day of landing operations.The North Korean army failed to organize a decent counterattack.The landing sites and bridgeheads of the Chinese Army passed the day safely.

the next morning.The heavy artillery regiment of the Artillery Brigade began to bombard Suzaku Gate in the west of Pyongyang City.at the same time.The main force of Yan Siqi's fifth division marched overnight.It has appeared outside the Qixing Gate in the east of Pyongyang.Captured the Osmanthus Temple.The city of Pyongyang, an important city in the north of North Korea, has actually been surrounded by the Chinese army.

Zhao Tie was watching his troops prepare for the general offensive outside Suzaku Gate in Pyongyang.Suddenly, it was discovered that there were clouds of thick smoke rising from the naval warships in the direction of the Datong River.Countless thunderbolt rockets, dragging fireworks, soared into the sky over the river and rushed towards the city of Pyongyang.He immediately stomped his feet and cursed: "Damn Fan Tao. The pirates in the navy want to take credit. Didn't we agree that our infantry would attack the city?"

Cao Tai, the supervising army, acted as if nothing had happened.He smiled and said, "Brother Zhao. That's your fault. You said it yourself: the infantry brothers will do the main attack on the land. You didn't say that you are not allowed to attack the city from the Datong River."

Zhao Tie was furious when he heard the words: "Bullshit. Isn't Fan Tao going to the Jiangkou to prevent the turtle ships from attacking? He is negligent of his duty. The orderly. Order Li Kuiqi to step up the bombardment. Hurry up and blast the broken city gate."

Cao Tai persuaded: "Brother Zhao. The Turtle Ship Fleet is in Jeolla Province. Even if we set off immediately, it will take ten days to reach the mouth of the Datong River. The main force of the First Fleet is at the mouth of the river. In any case, the city of Pyongyang must be captured as soon as possible. Commander Fan said so." Actively attacking the city. It is also helping us."

Zhao Tie took a deep breath.He also knew that his position as the chief of the North Korean army had no direct command over the navy fleet: "Forget it. The pirates of the navy." He ordered loudly: "The orderly. Order all the artillery units of the First Division Unfold. Bombard the walls."

……

Most of the thunderbolt rockets of the Chinese navy are incendiary rockets filled with oil.This time a total of more than a thousand were fired.After a burst of random shooting, dozens of fires were caused in Pyongyang.In the end, it caused a big fire in the whole city.The navy fleet almost beat the city wall along the Datong River into no man's land.I have never seen such a fierce North Korean army.Basically, they broke up and fled to the city.Sailor Marines boarded the gate tower of Datong Gate at night.Keep heading north.at the same time.The troops of the First Division also broke into Suzaku Gate.Drive straight into...

The sixth day after the Chinese army broke into the Datong River.The city of Pyongyang fell into the hands of the Chinese army.

now.Gwanghae-kun who lives in the royal palace of Wangjing in Joseon.I just learned that the Chinese navy pirates raided the northern part of North Korea.

And at this time.The divisional cavalry battalion of the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army has appeared in the north of Kaesong.

The entire North Korean country was shocked.Moreover, he was stunned speechless and completely silent for a while.

As soon as the Chinese army entered the Datong River Estuary.They distributed the campaign against North Korea everywhere.Accused Gwanghae-jun and the North Korean government of colluding with Houjin.Planned with Nurhachi to occupy the land of the Ming Dynasty.Supplying food and grass for the Eight Banners soldiers... the words are conclusive.Named names pointed out the fact that North Korea's Uiju Mu sent food to the Eight Banners soldiers.

North Korea has indeed reached an agreement with Hou Jin.The captured North Korean gunfire soldiers who provided food and grass for Nurhachi's army in exchange for the Battle of Sarhu.The secret agreement for the private redemption of prisoners of war has now been made public.It embarrasses the North Korean monarch and ministers.

……

The day the city of Pyongyang was besieged.The main force of the Ming army to aid Liao Dynasty led by Xiong Tingbi and the main force of Nurhachi's Eight Banners met head-on.This place is only a dozen miles away from Liaoyang.It is Qianshan to the north of Anshan Station.

The Eight Banners cavalry attacked the Ming army in a large formation to defend against the enemy at all costs.First, it overwhelmed the Zhejiang soldiers' firearms troops on the right wing of the Ming army.Then counter the Juanming Army's central front from the right.Under the command of Xiong Tingbi, the Ming army resisted desperately.After fighting for a whole day.The Ming army suffered heavy casualties.

The Eight Banners soldiers attacked the Ming army barracks at night.Although Xiong Tingbi stabilized the situation with superhuman will.But the Ming army has forever lost the chance to rescue Liaoyang.The Ming army under Yang Gao did not move closer to Xiong Tingbi's troops at all.Instead, they fled south along the Liaohe River.He planned to flee all the way to western Liaoning.

Xiong Tingbi's Liao army was on the second day of the battle.All of a sudden, he was beaten to pieces.Qin Liangyu's troops in Sichuan have been fighting persistently.The Ji Bing, Baoding Bing, Ningxia Bing, Xuanfu Bing, Datong Bing, Guyuan Bing, Gansu Bing and other leading generals.They all turned around and fled on the second day of the battle.Several general officers were the first to escape.Subsequently, the various Ming armies disintegrated one after another.Qin Liangyu's white soldiers protected Xiong Tingbi and fought and left.They retreated to Xining Fort after more than half of the casualties of the white pole soldiers.

The Ming army was defeated by Nurhachi again.The Liao Ming Army lost all its firearms and ammunition.More than [-] soldiers were killed or injured.The scattered soldiers of various ministries were everywhere on the Liaoxi Plain.
