Li Yingren, who had just left Pyongyang, immediately tasted the benefits.
The Qing army itself was insufficient in strength, and most of the defense lines in Pyongyang were dominated by North Korean troops. The Qing army mainly acted as a ballast stone.
Several military strongholds were attacked successively, a large number of armors, equipment, grain and grass were harvested, and captured soldiers and horses were also included in the army.
As a result, not only supplies were enriched, but morale was restored a lot, and Li Yingren was in great spirits:
"I can't defeat you head-on, but you can always attack by sneak attack!"
The hot summer is a torment for the Jurchens who are accustomed to the warmth and coolness. If one ebbs and flows, the other will ebb and flow, and I will definitely be able to drag the Manchus to death.
Unfortunately, just when he was about to take action, the King of North Korea, Li Hao, rushed to send a message asking for help.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses mobilized to besiege Pyongyang City.
Thinking of this, Li Yingren immediately ignored it. Pyongyang City is extremely strong and will never be captured in a short time.
But he was extremely doubtful about the strength of the Korean soldiers.
They were all Korean soldiers and horses. The Korean troops who surrendered to the Qing army screamed and screamed one by one, and the Korean army in Pyongyang was defeated.
Especially in the battle of Kaesong, the main force of the siege was North Korean soldiers and horses.
"You son of a bitch, didn't you just join the Eight Banners North Korea? It's like you've become a different person."
After hesitating for a long time, Li Yingren was still ready to return to Pyongyang, but not to defend the city, but to raid the army's food and grass behind, making it unsustainable.
And here, in order to deal with the crisis in Pyongyang, Beijing had already specially transported five red artillery pieces to Pyongyang to defend the city and deter the Manchus.
"Isn't General Li back?"
King Li Hao of North Korea climbed up to the city tower and looked at the ants-like North Korean troops outside the city. He was shocked for a while and took a long time to recover before he could react.
Following closely behind were Li Cao's counselor, Da Si Xian Jin Ji, Si Xian Fu Zhiyi Song Junji, Si Xian Fu's commander Song Shilie, and Ayakawa Prefecture Lord Goo Renge and other royal ministers.
Wang Yiwen, Huang Gong and other people from Longhan followed him around, believing that they trusted him.
"Your Majesty, General Li led thousands of people out of the city and won several battles, but he will not return easily."
Jin Ji said: "Fortunately, there are still thousands of Ming troops and more than ten thousand North Korean troops in the city. As long as we are fully prepared, with the strong strength of Pyongyang City and the Hongyi cannon, there is nothing these rebel armies can do."
"The traitor is hateful!"
Li Hao gritted his teeth and beat the city wall, then approached the red cannon that was cold to the bone, and stroked it lovingly. After a long time, he calmed down:
"These traitors are still Korean soldiers after all. Unfortunately, they have become thieves and are no longer useful."
The Korean soldiers outside the city naturally obeyed the orders of the Korean King in Seoul. Although Hong Chengchou was controlling the country, how could ordinary and ignorant soldiers know?
Since the clothes were of the same style, in order to distinguish the two armies, Pyongyang asked its soldiers to imitate the Ming army and tie red triangle scarves around their necks to show their determination to restore the country.
"Your Highness, the soldiers are ignorant and the consequences must not be too deep."
Li Shiyeol walked up, cupped his hands and said, "These soldiers and horses are the foundation of Korea's vitality. When Seoul is recovered, won't these soldiers be a blessing to our country?"
The other ministers also begged for mercy, and Li Hao stopped talking about it.
The reason for this is really due to interests.
Once they are determined to be disobedient, the noble yangbans as military officers will definitely be reduced to low status in the future and will never be able to turn over in their lifetime.
None of the two classes of nobles are relatives, so how can they be so cold-hearted?
At that time, Taizu Li Chenggui did not establish his son Li Fangyuan, who had made great achievements, but instead established his youngest son Li Fangshuo. This immediately caused turmoil and the first prince's rebellion broke out.
Taizu Li Chenggui fled to his hometown of Xianjingdao and raised troops to confront Taizong Li Fangyuan. For the next five hundred years in Korea, hundreds of thousands of people in Xianjingdao remained second-class people and rebelled many times.
If they are really considered to be against the party and become a lowly member, these two classes of nobles will be implicated too much. If there are no in-laws in any family, they will even get burned.
Furthermore, the two teams place bets separately. No matter which side wins, they must not kill everyone, otherwise it will not be fun next time.
"Eight Banners Korea, Manchu Qing really have sinister intentions."
Song Shilie raised his head and said, his eyes full of resentment: "This is a conspiracy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Your Highness cannot obey it, otherwise you will be fooled."
"I understand!" Li Hao sighed: "We even have the Eight Banners Han Army, so what if we add another Eight Banners North Korea?"
"Building slaves is hateful, hateful——"
In fact, there were many Koreans among the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. One was a prisoner who helped the Ming Dynasty attack the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the other was a Korean who actively surrendered, such as the Xianjing Dao people.
But the current setup of Eight Banners in North Korea shows that it blatantly wants to annex North Korea, and its ambitions are fully exposed.
Who doesn't hate it?
In this way, tens of thousands of North Korean rebels surrounded Pyongyang, and began to attack the city one after another. It was spectacular to see, but in reality it was not very powerful.
Li Yingren was able to endure his temper and stayed outside Pyongyang, attacking the rebel army's food, grass and baggage, which was a hard work.
In this way, it is naturally impossible to pull out those nail-like camps, and it is a useless effort.
This is what Hong Chengchou hopes to do.
While he spent time holding back Pyongyang, he cleaned up North Korea's eight factions and wiped out the restless yangban.
Politically, he divided officials and made wishes, and even incorporated North Korea into the Eight Banners. Militaryly, he resolutely suppressed it and never tolerated it. Hong Chengchou could be said to handle this with ease.
Unfortunately, Beijing did not give him a chance.
In the third year of Shaowu's reign, on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, more than a hundred warships of the Donghai Navy transported tens of thousands of Ming troops to Pi Island, and then followed the Datong River upstream and entered Pyongyang.
This army was menacing. There were nearly 3,000 cavalrymen alone. As soon as they entered Pyongyang, they swept across the entire battlefield and rescued the city of Pyongyang that had been besieged for half a month.
The battlefield was in a mess. Tens of thousands of North Korean rebels were captured, and countless more fled. This was a rare victory in the Korean battlefield.
The protagonist who created this great victory was Wu Sangui, the Marquis of Jing and the North Korean commander in chief.
As his deputy, he was Gao Jie's former general, now Daming Anqiuzi, the deputy commander-in-chief of North Korea's counterattack, Li Chengdong.
During Gao Jie's rebellion, Li Chengdong was decisively instigated, surrendered to Emperor Shaowu, and then entered Nanjing and was granted the title of baron.
Later, he went north to make achievements, conquered three cities, and captured more than 5,000 people. He was promoted to viscount, officer to general, and now he was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief. It was an opportunity.
Of course, if future generations look at it, they won't be able to help but laugh. This is the general soldier of the rebellious minister.
But there is no doubt that the guilt of leading two people in this plane is not serious, and since they are both familiar with war horses, they are naturally paired together.
However, the root cause is the emperor's bad taste.
How interesting it is to turn rebellious ministers in history into loyal ministers.
Li Hao and other North Korean monarchs and ministers were overjoyed, while Li Yingren had an ugly face and struggled to welcome the two of them.
Regardless of official title, both of them were above him.
