Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

But when Abatai wanted to continue to march westward, he suddenly heard: Tumed's troops had signed an alliance under the city, and Pegasus Town had already returned to the pass with the prisoners and seized.So Abatai also led the army to Hohhot, and first re-maintained the rule of the Manchu Qing over the Tumed tribe.But in this way, Abatai's dispatch of troops will return in vain, not to mention the huge losses caused by Pegasus Town's expedition to the Mongolian tribes.

And this expedition to Pegasus Town was later called the first Mongolian campaign.And in this expedition, plus illness and other non-combat attrition, the casualties in Pegasus Town were less than a hundred, which can be described as brilliant results.

More importantly, a new tribe was established under the management of Bao Huercha.When Pegasus Town entered the customs, the tribe was temporarily placed on the outskirts of the Great Wall in Datong.And this new Mongolian tribe headed by Wu Shigong was also the beginning of the reshuffle of the Mongolian tribes on the grassland, and it was also the beginning of the expansion of the power of the Daping Dynasty northward to the Mongolian grassland.

After Abatai's Manchurian and Mongolian allied forces came to Hohhot, he was angry and wanted to go south to attack the new Mongolian tribe outside the Great Wall of Datong in order to avenge the Daping army's exit.But at this moment, Dorgon of Liaodong sent an urgent order: Abata was asked to return with the army quickly, because the situation in Liaodong had changed dramatically at this time.

But that's another story.Let's talk about another expeditionary army of the Daping Army at the same time as the expedition in Pegasus Town!

On March [-]th, the first year of Qiongyuan, on the surface of the Bohai Sea.

Seeing that the recruited ship bosses stopped sailing, they all placed water wine and pig heads on the bow.Burning incense and kowtow to the sea to pray, Huang Ding was very angry.He yelled, "What are these bastards doing?"

And a boatman beside Huang Ding also turned pale, and he pointed to the mirage that appeared on the sea.Said: "General! That is the appearance of the Sea Dragon King. He wants to take us away. The bosses of the ship are trying to appease the Dragon King."

But as soon as these words were said, Huang Ding's anger became even more intense.

This cross-sea expedition to North Korea, due to the shortage of ships, the Taiping Army used all the ships that could be requisitioned.In order to hurry up, Huang Ding led two thousand soldiers and horses, first took ships collected from Shandong and Beizhili, and crossed the sea first under the escort of four gunboats.And Gonzalez led the main force of four thousand.I will take a sea-going ship with good condition and large tonnage to cross the sea in late March.

So what Huang Ding and the others were riding in were some fishing boats and small boats, not to mention the shabby ones.Even the speed is relatively slow.Moreover, in the four days after going to sea, three ships leaked and capsized successively.Fortunately, the sea is still calm, although the supplies on these ships are lost.But the personnel were basically rescued.

However, the crew on board was crowded.It smells bad.Moreover, the boat is bumpy, and seasickness can also be contagious.Although the sailors of the Navy Marine Corps are all good at water, they didn't have this condition before, and they basically never went to sea, so when they saw someone vomiting around them, many of them lost their minds, and the whole ship was wet. The smell of swill.

If it was just like this, Huang Ding would just bear with it.Anyway, from Tianjin Wei to Incheon.That is, a boat trip in the early ten days.But today, unfortunately, it encountered a mirage again, and the entire fleet also stopped.This made Huang Ding intolerable.

To be honest, Huang Ding was really a little scared at this time.People at that time were somewhat superstitious, let alone in the extremely dangerous sea.

So Huang Ding gave an order: "What Dragon King! Send the order down and fire at it, and the firecrackers will also shoot."

"I can't! General!" The boatman next to him rushed over anxiously. He cried tearfully, "I have enraged the Dragon Lord, so we can't run away! General! General!"

"Take him away and carry out the order!" Huang Ding ignored the boatman's plea.He explained, "Everyone knows that firecrackers are set off during the New Year! Only by making a loud noise can the dirty things be driven away."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom bang bang!"

The sea is filled with smoke.In the stunned eyes of a group of boat bosses and boatmen, the mirage on the sea surface disappeared, and even the sunlight penetrated through the thick clouds and fell onto the sea surface, shining a little bit of golden light.

"Oh—!" Everyone cheered after escaping from death.Several boatmen also came to Huang Ding, and said in awe: "General! You are a star from the sky, and even the Dragon King of the Sea has to avoid it. The little ones are fortunate to be on the same boat with you. It is a blessing from the previous life. !"

"Hahaha——!" Huang Ding also laughed happily, "I told you a long time ago, our emperor is the real dragon emperor, do small dragons on the sea dare to offend?"

"Exactly! Exactly!" Everyone around nodded their heads.

"Also!" Huang Ding said, pointing to a boat boss, "That pig's head is not bad, bring it here for me to taste. I eat fish every day, and it makes me sick to my stomach."

Several black lines suddenly appeared on the faces of the surrounding people.

……

On March 26, the fleet of the Daping Army came to the mouth of the Han River along the coastline.After that, the four gunboats entered the Han River and went up the river, while the rest of the fleet continued to go south along the coastline and arrived at Incheon Port on March 29.

"Here we come! We come! Zheng Daguan's fleet is here!"

Seeing the fleet entering the port, the wharf of Incheon Port, which had been silent for a winter, immediately became lively.A large number of North Korean people came to watch the excitement, but most of them were Korean coolies on the pier.They earn a living by moving goods, so groups of coolies are divided into groups, each occupying their own territory, and preventing coolies from other families from entering.

In North Korea, Zheng Zhilong's fleet is well-known.Since the Manchu Qing became the suzerain of North Korea, and Zheng Zhilong started trading with the Manchu Qing, the Zheng family of the Manchu Qing and Zheng Zhilong started the entrepot trade through North Korea. It became lively.

"That's not right! Why is the boat so broken this time?" A North Korean coolie wondered, "Could it not be the boat of Mr. Zheng?"

With a sound of "snap!", the North Korean coolie was hit on the head by his leader.The leader scolded: "What do you know? Zheng Daguan's business is too big, and our North Korea doesn't take him seriously. Zheng Daguan's big ship will go in other directions, and those who come to our North Korea will definitely be worse." Some. Look at the flag on the ship, it doesn’t belong to Mr. Zheng, but which one does it belong to?”

After hearing the leader's plausible explanation, all the coolies nodded again and again.As long as he can make money, it doesn't matter if he comes with a bathtub or not.

Although there are crowds of people on the pier, there is a large open space in the middle.And in this open space, several North Korean officials nodded and stood beside a dozen Qing soldiers, and they all surrounded the leader Niu Lu Ezhen, flattering North Korea.

After occupying North Korea, the Manchu Qing stationed a thousand Qing troops in North Korea.In Seoul, the capital of North Korea, 500 troops were stationed, while in Kaesong, there were [-] bannermen stationed.As for the Port of Incheon, there is a Niulu [-] Banner Ding.And this Niu Lu Ezhen was the supreme commander of the Qing army stationed in Incheon Port.

For the Eight Banners flag Ding, stationed in North Korea is a beautiful mission.Under the meticulous service of North Korean officials, every Qing soldier seemed to be the overlord of North Korea, with constant filial piety and constant beauties.And there is no war, and life is carefree.

Therefore, for the sake of balance, the Eight Banners also took turns stationed in North Korea.Each flag is stationed for one year, so that all the flags can make a fortune.In this way, those bannermen stationed in North Korea must have searched desperately. They just want to hurry up and seize every opportunity to get money.

And the arrival of Zheng's fleet was a major source of wealth for these Qing soldiers.Although the transactions of bulk goods all have the background of the flag owners and the prince Baylor, it is not their turn to worry about these little soldiers.But the rewards from the Zheng family alone can make these soldiers of the Qing army rich, so Niu Lue really led the team himself today.

Seeing that the leading ship lowered its sails, it slowly approached the pier.And the Korean coolies are also busy tying the cables.Take a springboard.

Several Qing soldiers were pointing and laughing at the big ship.On the side of the big ship, a young man was waving to the Qing soldiers and North Korean officials.

Seeing that the young man seemed to be the head of the Zheng family's fleet, the North Korean officials immediately bowed their hands and returned the salute.However, Niu Lu Ezhen of the Qing army folded his chest, and he was still thinking to himself: "We must not lose face to our nation. How can these humble businessmen deserve our warriors' respect?"

Seeing that the springboard was set up, the young man gave Niu Luerzhen a bright smile.Then he yelled, "Ready!"

A group of gunners suddenly appeared on the board beside the ship's side. They held gunners with already lit matchlocks and aimed at the group of people standing in the middle of the pier.

"put!"

Niu Luerzhen, who hadn't woken up from the shock, only heard a loud noise, and then felt several blows to his chest and abdomen.Then his eyes went dark, his body went limp, and he completely lost consciousness.

"A group of idiots!" Looking at the Qing soldiers and North Korean officials lying in a pool of blood, Huang Ding, who directed the shooting, said contemptuously.

Immediately afterwards, a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed off the ship, and immediately led by a boatman who had been to Incheon Port, they killed the Qing army's garrison in Incheon Port.

The North Koreans on the pier saw a group of menacing soldiers killed on board, and they suddenly became chaotic.

"The pirates are coming! The Japanese pirates are coming!" some North Koreans who didn't understand the situation shouted.

And these calls.The entire Incheon Port immediately became chaotic. (To be continued..)
