Jin Qingzheng is a loser and has no ability at all.
When he climbed to the top of the mountain and saw that Xia's army had gathered on the beach, his first thought was to escape.
However, this decision was unanimously approved by the defenders of Ganghwa Island.
There were only a few hundred people in the first place, and they lacked weapons. What could they use to fight the Xia army?
After Jin Qingzheng was trapped on Ganghwa Island, his majesty had long been wiped out. Unexpectedly, the first time I expressed my thoughts, I got unanimous approval.
This restored his confidence and immediately led everyone to run eastward.
Right at the intersection of the strait and the entrance of the Han River, there is a pier. On weekdays, ships entering and leaving Ganghwa Island stop here.
When Jin Qingzheng led the Ganghwa Island defenders all the way here, he couldn't help but feel completely desperate.
Above the sea, Xia Jun's warships were seen in an endless stream.
Most of them have gone up the river and towards the east. Others were pushing towards the dock.
Obviously Xia Jun did not intend to let go of the defenders on Jianghua Island.
"Sir, what should I do?"
Yuhou Xianqi also has no ability, so he can only count on the golden symbol at this time.
"Get on the boat quickly, let's run south."
Jin Qingzheng felt that they might be able to rescue him.
Although Xia Jun's warships are approaching, the Ganghwa Strait is very narrow. As long as you get on the boat and work hard, you can cross it.
As long as you reach the other side, your chances of running away are very high.
Everyone is in a state of confusion and blindly obeys orders when given.
So a group of people ran towards the dock.
The people at the front have already boarded the trestle, and the ship is right in front of them.
Suddenly there was a thunderbolt explosion, and the trestle and everyone on it were swept away.
Immediately, explosions resounded throughout the port, and one ship after another, all ships were destroyed by gunfire.
The people who were still alive were stunned, looking at what happened, and they were all frightened and lost their strength.
"Surrender! Let's surrender!"
Jin Qingzheng had no backbone. When he saw such artillery fire, he immediately understood how to survive.
The other North Korean soldiers naturally have no backbone.
Now that the dock has been destroyed and they are trapped on an isolated island, they will die sooner or later if they don't surrender.
So a large group of people knelt down on the beach and threw their weapons far away to prove that it had nothing to do with them. Then they raised their hands and stretched their necks, begging Xia Jun not to fire anymore.
Of course, Xia Jun was a civilized teacher and had already noticed the actions of these people.
Seeing them kneeling and surrendering, the shelling stopped.
Dozens of small boats docked quickly, and a battalion of Xia Army soldiers jumped out, surrounding them.
The bayonets shone with a cold light, and the tall and majestic appearance of the Xia army soldiers made these Koreans unable to resist.
At the critical moment of life and death, Jin Qingzheng shouted at the top of his lungs.
"My father is the leader of North Korea, and I beg the Heavenly Army to spare my life. I am willing to persuade my father to surrender for the Heavenly Army."
Zhao Xianbing, the political commissar of the 1st Marine Regiment, had already walked over. Hearing that the prisoner in front of him turned out to be Jin Liu's son, he couldn't help but grin.
"Keep them under careful guard and give them some food. If they don't resist, don't tie them up."
Capturing Jin Liu's son was a big deal and must be reported to the superiors.
But no matter what, this is all credit to the Marine Corps.
Before the landing operation, the four regiments of the 1st Marine Division had all received their respective tasks.
The 1st Marine Regiment was responsible for the landing on Ganghwa Island. In addition to helping to establish a logistics base, it also had to conquer the surrounding areas.
Yeongjong Island, Wolmi Island and Incheon in the south, and Yan'an County, Baichuan County, Kaifeng County and Kaesong in the north are also their targets.
After discussing with Zhao Xianbing, Miao Guangxian, commander of the 1st Marine Regiment, decided to go south first and then north. Prioritize the capture of Incheon and help the fraternal troops relieve their worries.
Of course, the first step is to clear out all the remaining enemies on Ganghwa Island.
After interrogation, Jin Qingzheng learned that the only defense force on Ganghwa Island was these prisoners.
However, there are so many officials scattered everywhere, and they will all become unstable factors.
Since there would be no resistance, Miao Guangxian and Zhao Xianbing simply spread out the entire regiment at the company level to search every corner of the island.
Hwangwang-ri, Hwado-myeon, south of Ganghwado Island, is a very strange village.
The village faces the sea and is surrounded by mountains on the other three sides, forming an isolated natural environment.
There are not many people in the village, and they are not allowed to go fishing. Fortunately, there is enough land in front of the village, and the people work hard and can barely make ends meet.
People here live a closed life with little contact with the outside world.
Here, the chief is the emperor and has the absolute power.
It's just that this person is sent by the government. In addition to managing the village, he also has supervisory responsibilities.
But today the whole village was in chaos, after all, everyone heard the roar of the cannon.
The last time the Qing army captured Ganghwa Island, they did not find it. It was so cold that the Qing army was too lazy to cross the mountains, so the people of Huangwangli escaped.
But this time, an army came here.
The only access to the outside of Huangwangli is to go east along the foot of the mountain and circumvent the entire mountain before you can get to the outside.
This trail is hidden in the dense forest and cannot be discovered by non-locals.
Xia Jun is naturally not among them.
The surrendered North Korean soldiers were very attentive and served as guides one after another, and informed Huang Wangli of his existence.
Originally it was just a small village, and Yao Guangxian and Zhao Xianbing didn't care. But after listening to the guide talking about the situation in this village, Zhao Xianbing immediately became acutely aware of the seriousness of the matter.
He was a little worried and personally led a company here.
There are several independent thatched houses at the west end of the village, which look out of place with other houses. The door to this courtyard is always closed on weekdays, and the people inside seem unwilling to come out.
The only person who often hangs out is a scholar.
The sun was just right today, so the young scholar was basking in the sun outside the wall, looking bored.
When he saw Xia Jun coming this way, the scholar couldn't help but widen his eyes.
If Xia Jun's soldiers hadn't all held muskets in their hands, he wouldn't even be able to guess what these people were doing.
The guide led Zhao Xianbing all the way to the outside of the courtyard.
"General, the useless man is inside."
The scholar quickly cheered up and adjusted his robes.
"Xu Xiu, who is behind the Xu family in Xia Yangchuan, is it the Xia Kingdom's heavenly army?"
Seeing that this scholar spoke Chinese very fluently, Zhao Xianbing became fond of him.
"How did you know we were Xia's army?"
This was tantamount to admission, which greatly excited the scholar.
"My father is currently serving as the racecourse official in Jeju Island."
The 1st Marine Division has been stationed on Jeju Island for more than half a year and already knows the situation on the island well.
Zhao Xianbing couldn't help but wonder.
"Since you are Xu Diansheng's son, why are you here?"
