Smuggling Daming

When the artillery behind the Ping'an army rang out, it had already decided the outcome of Li Long's king's army's retreat. The scene of the attack made these North Koreans have no power to fight back. Most of them were frightened by the roar of the artillery. Dare to turn around and shoot an arrow.

It was also under the power of artillery and muskets that Li Long's army showed a complete retreat shortly after the start of the battle. Even Li Long fell off his horse in fright. When the guards helped him onto the horse, Li Long immediately turned his horse's head and galloped towards Seoul, not daring to stay on the battlefield at all.

Li Long's fleeing made it impossible for the King of Korea's army to come back. The tens of thousands of troops fled all over the mountains and plains without any rules. When I finally counted the results of the battle, I found out that tens of thousands of the king's army were killed in this battle, and more than 2 people were captured. It is estimated that less than 2 people could escape.

After this battle, Li Long's strength was greatly damaged, and he could no longer control the vast areas of Gyeonggi-do. For his own safety, Li Long dispatched elite troops from all over Gyeonggi-do to guard Seoul. The defense is empty, and the Ping'an Army has already controlled most of Gyeonggi-do without much effort. The only hateful thing is that the Chungcheong Army in the south and the Gangwon Army in the east also took the opportunity to annex some Gyeonggi-do sites. This made both Liu Tao and Li Anliang very dissatisfied.But now is not the time to ask them to settle accounts, so they can only pretend not to see it, and then mobilize the army to besiege Seoul.

The original name of Seoul is Hanyang. Later, when North Korea established its capital here, it was renamed Seoul. In North Korea, it is generally called the capital, or directly called Beijing. As the largest and most prosperous city in North Korea, Seoul’s city defenses are naturally very strong.Not only is there a tall and strong city wall, but also the city has concentrated the most elite army of the Korean Kingdom.

However, although Seoul can be called the strongest city in North Korea, it is only relative to the domestic army of North Korea. If it is replaced by the army of other countries, it may not be difficult to conquer, such as according to the original history.During the Imjin Japanese Rebellion a few decades later, the [-] troops of the Japanese army took down the capital where the elites of North Korea were concentrated, burned, killed and looted here, and when they finally left, they killed the entire city. The massacre was emptied, and Seoul became a dead city.

The Japanese army can easily break through Seoul.Although the Korean Ping'an Army led by the Ming Dynasty is a little weaker, don't forget it.There are [-] firearms in their army, especially there are hundreds of cannons among them, which are the real siege weapons. When these hundreds of cannons bombarded the city gate together, Seoul could not hold on for too long In the end, the city gate was shattered by artillery bombardment, and then tens of thousands of Ping'an troops rushed in.The strong city of Seoul was captured so easily.

With the entry of the Ping'an Army, the North Korean King's Army in the city had already been frightened by the artillery.They didn't have the guts to resist at all, and ordinary people even hid at home, chanting "Amitabha Buddha" in their hearts, begging Buddha to bless them, and don't let those rebels enter their homes.

Compared with ordinary people, Li Long, who was above [-] people before, was heartbroken. At the moment when the gate of Seoul was blasted open by artillery, he also fell into despair, and he also knew that now There is almost no one in North Korea who does not hate him. The reason why he can live until now is all because he is the king of North Korea and has an elite army in his hands. But now this army has been defeated, and the king's seat is no longer in sight. Paul, even he can already foresee what kind of cruel punishment he will face after being captured.

Thinking of his tragic situation after being captured, Li Long couldn't help feeling a kind of fear. In the end, he decided to learn from a tyrant of the Central Plains Dynasty, that is, the famous King Zhou of Shang. Before entering Jingfu Palace, he ordered people to gather all the gold and silver treasures in the palace in his bedroom, and called his beloved concubine, as well as all his sons and daughters, and then Li Long ordered people to seal the gate , A torch set the whole palace on fire. As a result, he died in the fire with his gold and silver treasures, as well as his beloved women and children.

When he learned that Li Long set fire to himself, Liu Tao felt very sorry. They were very interested in the treasures in Li Long's treasury, but now it seems that those treasures must have been burned to ashes along with Li Long up.The difference with Liu Tao is that Li Anliang and the other North Koreans were very angry when they knew that Li Long had burned themselves to death, because in their opinion, a tyrant like Li Long should die at the mouth of the people. This method of death is too cheap for him.

Li Long died, and Seoul also fell into the hands of the Ping'an Army. On the surface, Li Anliang was still the leader of the Ping'an Army, but in fact Liu Tao and others were in charge of the entire Ping'an Army. However, when issuing orders to the outside world, Li Anliang was still used. Anliang’s name, for example, after the Ping’an Army occupied Seoul this time, they immediately sent invitations to Qi Yanming and other rebel leaders. In name, they were invited to Seoul to discuss the future of North Korea, but in fact they were forcing the rebels from all walks of life Recognize the Ping An Army as the head of the rebel army.

Regarding the plan of the Ping'an Army, Qi Yanming and the rebel leaders were naturally very clear, but the Ping'an Army was able to wipe out Li Long in one fell swoop, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and what shocked them even more was that the Ping'an Army actually With a large number of cannons, everyone understood that there must be a huge force behind the Ping An Army, and the only one who could provide hundreds of cannons and thousands of muskets at a time was probably only Daming.

Knowing all of the above, many rebels with lesser power saw that the Ping'an Army had a strong background and eliminated Li Long, which made them all give up their hearts. Seoul, after all, they all know that if they don't go to Seoul after receiving the invitation, they will be the enemy of the Ping'an Army in the future. With the strength of the Ping'an Army, they will not be opponents even if they unite.

Li Anliang and Liu Tao were not surprised by the surrender of those small groups of rebels. What they cared about was the Zhongqing Army, Jiangyuan Army, and Qingshang Army headed by Qi Yanming. Army, their attitude is the most critical, if these three rebels are unwilling to surrender, then they can only solve it by force.

As the weak rebels from all walks of life chose to surrender to the Ping'an Army, this also put a strong pressure on Qi Yanming and other leaders of the three-way rebel army. After all, judging from the combat power displayed by the Ping'an Army, they are definitely not The opponents of the Ping'an Army can't even unite, so now they are hesitating whether to surrender to the Ping'an Army, which was still on an equal footing with them before.

The first to be unable to withstand the pressure was the Gangwon Army. Most of this army was composed of rebellious North Korean officers and soldiers. The leader was Cui Donglong. He was only a middle-level officer before. The local government is helpless, so this also makes Gangwon Province under his rule very chaotic. The situation is only better than that of Ping'an Province before. Gangwon Province has become the most chaotic place in North Korea, and even Cui Donglong feels powerless to govern the place.

It is also because of the above reasons, and Cui Donglong knows that he is definitely not an opponent of the Pingan Army, and Gangwon Province and Gyeonggi Province are close to each other, so after careful consideration, he finally decided to go to Seoul to meet Li Anliang, This also means that he is willing to surrender to the Ping An Army.

Both Liu Tao and Li Anliang were very happy about Cui Donglong's surrender, because in their view, those small groups of rebels didn't matter at all. The most important thing was the three major rebels headed by the Zhongqing Army. Yi's Gangwon Army finally chose to surrender, so this is a good sign, maybe in a few days, the Chungqing Army and Qingsang Army will also choose to surrender.

However, Liu Tao and Li Anliang obviously underestimated the Zhongqing Army and Qingshang Army. They waited in Seoul until the day when the leaders of the rebels from all walks of life were entertained, but they did not see Qi Yanming and those gentry. Finally, Li Anliang and Liu Tao endured Anger entertained those rebel leaders who chose to surrender, and then arranged for them to live in Seoul. As for the army under them, people from the Ping An Army would naturally go to take over.

In fact, Liu Tao and Li Anliang had some mental preparations for the stubbornness of the Zhongqing Army and the Gyeongsang Army. After all, these two rebels are different from the Gangwon Army, especially the Zhongqing Army of Qi Yanming. They were originally the first group of rebels in North Korea. , and among the various rebel armies in North Korea, they have always been the strongest, but now the sudden emergence of the Ping'an Army has caused the Zhongqing Army to fall behind, but the arrogance of the Chungqing Army is still there, and they want to make them inferior to their own before. It is not that easy for the Pingan army to bow their heads, so it is not surprising that Qi Yanming did not go to Seoul.

As for the Gyeongsang Army formed by the Korean Gentlemen Alliance, this army needs money and people. It can be said that it has the most potential for development among the four-way rebels. It is a pity that their location is too south, too far from Gyeonggi-do So far, so I have not been able to participate in the core battle.

But now this kind of terrain allows them to take advantage of it, because it is too far away from Gyeonggi-do, and there is a Chung Ching army in the middle, so they don't worry about the threat of the Ping'an army at all, and want to make them surrender, unless the Ping'an army can defeat them. The Chung Ching Army caught in the middle. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
