Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"It's really a bunch of bastards. The super biological empire. www. The first episode comes from the river." The news of the defeat of the princes of Eastern Mongolia, such as Sanggar and Cangjin, has spread to Chuntai's ears. After finally conquering and destroying most of the sentry towers and seven small forts one by one, the bad news came before the large and medium-sized fortresses were attacked. How could this iron hat not be frustrated. "It's good at grabbing things, fighting hard with yourself, and wilting when encountering a sea inverse, what the hell!"

"My lord, stop scolding, scolding won't do anything." Xiong Yue's deputy governor, Zhuo Qi, saw Chun Tai's furious appearance, and hurried out to dissuade him. "Now the Xianjing Road is completely lost, and the sea is about to attack the Ping'an Road, in case our army's back road and grain road are cut off."

Zhuo Qi didn't continue to speak, but everyone present already knew what he meant, and fell silent for a while.

Just when the atmosphere in the tent was oppressive and everyone had their own thoughts, Jia Mo, the third leader of the guard camp Zhenghuang's banner who participated in the battle, suddenly said in a trembling tone: "It's weird. All we have seen so far are Chao people. The previous ones Where did Zheng Jun go, maybe they all went to the east, this, this is not right."

Kuya Lazuo Lingda, who was sent by Jilin, has been listening to Jiamo boasting about his experience for the past few days. When he suddenly heard what Jiamo said was wrong, he was also shocked: "That's right, when the sea reverses and hits Jiangnan. It is Heihu who went straight to Jiangning with all his heart, and now he has not moved, so it must be the idea of ​​attacking Pyongyang."

As soon as he said this, the camp was in chaos. Some people said that it was not Pyongyang, it should be Seoul, and some people said that it was Seoul, Pyongyang, and ran back quickly. The expression on Chuntai's face said: It is as wonderful as it is.

Just as Chuntai was about to shout violently to suppress the commotion of these bannermen and generals, the last straw that broke the camel's camel's back appeared, and a reporter who sent a messenger was panting outside the tent: "Marshal, Seoul! Urgent report!"

Ghoshha next to him quickly came in with an urgent letter. Chuntai opened it and his face collapsed: "Hai Ni's gunboat sailed into the Han River again, it seems that you have been hit by what you said , The sea rebellion is indeed going to cut off our army's food supply route, and trap more than ten thousand of our army to death in the mountains of Zhongqing Road."

At this time, there was no sound at the side, and everyone was waiting for Chuntai to order to retreat, but the prince raised his eyebrows: "Hai Ni is easy to calculate, but this king just doesn't follow their way, come here, order Tomorrow's general attack will pull out the main fort in front of us, and the army will go straight to Guangzhou, and the South Korean puppet dynasty will be wiped out first.

"No," said Sun Zhaqi, deputy governor of Manchuria with the red flag, he knew it was not good as soon as he uttered it, but Chuntai's behavior this time obviously made others blame him. , so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk down to the Roaring Priest. "My lord, our army attacked several small forts a few days ago and already lost nearly a thousand and eight bannermen. Now we are going to attack a big fort that is stronger than the small fort. My lord, the bannermen are the pillars of the country!"

"My lord, Mr. Sun is not bad." Zhuo Qi didn't dare to sit and watch Sun Zhaqi fight alone at this time, so he followed suit. "Even if our army took down the big fort regardless of casualties, and then drove straight into the city of Gwangju, the false kings of South Korea can still retreat to Jinju and Gyeongju, and if they are in a hurry, they can follow the example of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty and flee together. How can our army do it?" Catch up, in case this side fails to catch up and the back road is cut off again, my lord, the country is in critical condition now, and we Manchus can't afford to lose too much."

Although both Sun Zhaqi and Zhuo Qi have helped Chuntai pave the downhill steps, Chuntai still has to do something else, of course, this is also to explain to Kangxi, look, I am not running for my own life, but It is to preserve the foundation of the Manchu rule of China.

"Then according to what you two mean, you should retreat now."

Sun Zhaqi and Zhuo Qi looked at each other in the same way, sighed secretly in their hearts, then leaned over at the same time, and replied in almost unanimous voices: "That's right, please give the order to withdraw the troops immediately!"

"You are all veterans," Chun Tai nodded. "Since it's what you said, I have no choice but to follow the good advice. That's it. All the leaders and assistant leaders will go back to the camp to rectify the soldiers and horses, and we will return to Baohan City." But they kept Sun and Zhuo. "You said, is it okay to retreat to Seoul?"

Sun Zhaqi and Zhuo Qi were stunned immediately. Seoul is where the royal court of Joseon is located. Whoever occupies Seoul is at least a symbol of orthodoxy on the surface, but they also understand Chuntai's thoughts. It's not a problem to face the cannons of Zheng Jun's ships, not to mention that the grain road to the north is still not safe.

With this in mind, Sun Zhaqi suggested: "Seoul is indeed not very safe, how about our army retreat to Kaesong?"

Songjing Kaesongfu is one of the four capitals of Gyeonggi and the capital of the Goryeo period is also close to Seoul. Although it is not royal, it is not too ugly for Shengzai to explain to Kangxi, so Sun Zhaqi suggested this.But he didn't figure out what Chuntai was thinking, so he only got Chuntai shaking his head for a while.

"Kaijing, isn't it too close?" Chun Tai certainly had his own reasons. "Haizhou is on the edge, just in case"

"My lord is right." Zhuo Qi was not in favor of retreating to Kaesong either. "Hai Ni is a master of boats, so it is very possible to land in Haizhou, not only in Haizhou, but also in Nanpu, and directly attack Pyongyang." Zhuo Qi picked up the analysis that he just gave me. "So at least it is safe to retreat to Pyongyang."

"According to what Master Zhuo said, Haini may sail into the Yalu River and cut off the connection between Yizhou and Liaodong, or we can just return to Shengjing." Sun Zhaqi's tone sounded a bit aggressive, but his original intention was not. Yes, accountability from Beijing. "Go straight back to Pyongyang, the emperor's side is not easy to explain."

"It's impossible not to retreat." Zhuo Qi had his own point of view. "If you retreat to Pyongyang, you may be able to lose the Yellow Sea, Pingan, and Hamgyong. If you retreat to Kaesong, once there is a loss, the whole North Korea will be handed over to Haini. I think the emperor has always been wise. As long as he tells this point, the emperor should I can understand the decision of the prince and you and me."

"Back to Pyongyang, it's true to be safe, but Hwanghae Road and Hamgyong Road?" Sun Zhaqi looked at Zhuo Qi suspiciously, thinking to himself, this is not bullying but what is bullying. "Please Master Zhuo teach me."

"Hai Ni's military system, 5000 people make up a division, one division or several divisions will be dispatched," said Zhuo Qi, although he was Xiong Yue's deputy commander, but when he met Zheng Jun, he naturally had a lot of research on his opponent. "We don't know how many troops will be used in North Korea, but there will never be too many. If there are three or four divisions, they will fight our army directly, and they will never hide their heads and show their tails." This judgment made Sun Zhaqi and Chun Tai nodded frequently. "Now that the eastern front is reported to be [-], there is at least one division on the southern front, and two divisions with tens of thousands of people. Even if they win Seoul, they will never dare to enter the Yellow Sea Road north easily. In this way, the Yellow Sea Road will become the imperial army and the sea. Naturally, it cannot be said that everything is lost in the battlefield where the inverses compete with each other."

Chun Tai responded immediately: "That's the case, it must be a place where small groups of soldiers and horses compete with each other."

Zhuo Qi continued: "When we return to Pyongyang, even after deducting the casualties, our army will have [-] troops. With such a large army, it is impossible for us to occupy the whole area. Clearing out the flanks and expelling Hamgyong Dao is also part of the problem. I mean, so Hamgyongdo is not considered the full text of the full text of Fallen Empire Rising Total War."

"How can this be considered a loss? It should be regarded as a recovery from Hai Ni." Chun Tai smiled more and more as he heard it. "However, the strength of our army alone is a little weak. At least we must pull in the Eastern Mongolian cavalry. These Mongolian barbarians have suffered a big loss and are waiting to lick their wounds and wait for revenge. This king will give them this It's a shame when the opportunity comes out." Having said this, Chuntai has made up his mind. "Then say hello to Song Zhu in advance and ask him to move Liangtai back to Pyongyang."

The Qing army retreated, and the already precarious Jinjiang line of defense was thin, but the North Koreans sat and waited for three days in a daze.It wasn't until some volunteers from the north came to report that the Qing army had abandoned Gongju and Cheongju, and then the South Korean army cautiously sent scout horses northward to inquire about information.However, when the report that the Qing army abandoned Seoul and forced the North Korean royal court to return to the north came later, the South Korean royal court suddenly became excited like a stimulant.

On the one hand, the royal court of South Korea sent envoys to various places to accept the local regime, on the other hand it started to prepare for the ceremony of returning the capital, and at the same time, it offered prices to various places to ask the rebels to continue to attack the Qing army.Of course, Li Ye also knew that the North Korean army alone would not be able to accomplish anything, so in addition to opening up the port in accordance with the "Secret Treaty of Yihai", they also agreed to temporarily hand over the front line of Haizhou to Zheng Jun for garrison, but this is not unconditional. First of all, Zheng Jun It is necessary to withdraw from the Eastern Front so as not to hinder South Korea's exercise of "sovereignty."

Tang Baoyi was also a little suspicious about the retreat of the Qing army, but he was relieved by the news that the Qing army would not retreat when it reached Pyongyang.Then the South Korean side agreed to further hand over the Haizhou area to the Zheng army on the basis of opening Haizhou Port. The fortresses on the Jinjiang defense line completely ignored the Guangzhou side's request to immediately move northward.

Fortunately, the third division of the Longxiang Army quickly withdrew from Hamhung and other places to Jeju Island, which made the South Korean royal court heave a sigh of relief.However, what the North Koreans did not know was that nearly one regiment of the Zheng army did not withdraw southward, but marched northward to Vladivostok, and built a solid fortress not far from the original Fort Wokuowei. an important base.

In this way, the war on the Korean side came to an abrupt halt with a large-scale decisive battle. Although the two sides will continue to engage in repeated confrontations around some areas in Hamgyong, the Yellow Sea, and even Gangwon, the trend of long-term and quagmire has already Formed, North Korea inevitably fell into division
