On the second day of the twelfth lunar month in the ninth year of King Sizong’s reign in the Ming Dynasty, Yizhou City, Ping’an Road, Goryeo.
"동주, 그게뭐야, 왜이렇게일찍대상대가우리에게왔을까, 그동안맞은편의야만족이그다지안전하 Eastern Zhou Dynasty, what is that, why is it so early? There are caravans coming to our place. I heard that the Jurchens on the other side are not restless at this time. Are they not afraid of encountering the vicious Jurchens on the road?"
It’s already very cold in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, especially in the early winter of the Little Ice Age, it was even more brutally cold! Therefore, after seeing a vague team of horses appearing near the horizon in the distance, the Korean soldiers guarding the city only poked their heads out from under the straw bag to take a look, and then quickly retracted into the straw bag to avoid The little heat in my body disappeared in the biting cold wind! They are just a small group of people living at the bottom of society. They receive a meager amount of rice every month, but they do the hardest and most tiring work. Their hearts have long been filled with dissatisfaction with the officials and even the court. At this moment Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with them! Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be tall officials to hold it up! As for these miserable city guard sergeants who are not loved by my uncle and disliked by my grandma, it would be more practical to think about how to get some more money from them to supplement the family income when the caravan comes over! .
"Whoosh whoosh..." However, when the cavalry approached, the mobile cash box in the eyes of the Korean soldiers suddenly turned into a life-threatening Shura! After approaching to a distance of dozens of steps, more than ten or twenty fully armed Houjin cavalrymen took out their riding bows, then bent their bows and pointed arrows at the city head, and a fierce rain of arrows covered them. They shot all the Korean defenders who were caught off guard until they fell on their backs. They did not dare to take the lead before they stopped the continuous shooting. Then, feeling unsatisfied, the former also sent a small number of elite men to attack the Yiju city wall using the method of attacking the city with ants! I saw those Manchu warriors wearing two or three layers of armor, with only a pigtail on their head, galloping to the city, then dismounted, holding a small cowhide shield in their left hand, a broadsword, an iron axe, a flail, etc. in their right hand. Heavy weapons, grabbing the flying claws and rope hooks thrown in advance, they easily jumped over a few times, and climbed onto the Korean people's low earth wall-like city wall. After that, there was nothing behind, the fierce Manchuria After the white-armored soldiers killed the trembling Goryeo defenders at the top of the city who couldn't even hold their weapons, they quickly got off the city wall, raised the top door bars, and let more and more Manchurian troops enter the city! And this was the beginning of what is known in history as "Bingzi Chaos"!
On December 14th, the ninth year of Jingyan reign of Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty, er no, it should be called Manchuria now. The army showed its strength in field battles, abandoned Jiancheng and marched southward. It only took twelve days to defeat the enemy. Arrived near Seoul, the capital of Goryeo. King Injo of Goryeo was afraid of Manchuria's mighty military power, so he sent his princes, concubines, ministers, wives and children to Jeju Island for refuge. Yes, you read that right, it was Jeju Island that Kang Lin and others had just ravaged, and he himself He led all the civil and military officials to retreat to Nanhan Mountain City to wait for the arrival of the Qinwang Army from all walks of life. At the same time, he sent Chiyang's old friends, Cui Mingji, the right political official and official Cao Banshu, who succeeded in repelling the invading "Japanese pirates", to Manchuria. Negotiate in the military camp to delay time!
However, King Injo was destined not to wait for reinforcements from his side! The marshals of the two major capitals of Goryeo, Jin Zidian's troops were defeated by the Manchu Beilefei Yangwu on the fourth day of the first month of the 10th year of Jingyan, and the Qing army under Gurma Hui was defeated at Tushan County, Huanghaidao. Jin Zidian led the only remaining Seventeen Cavalry escaped and retreated to Miwon County, Yanggeun County, Gyeonggi Province, where they met up with another marshal, Shen Jiyuan. They remained stationary for more than 20 days until Injo surrendered; while the other marshal had no soldiers, but lied about defeating him with a fire attack. After defeating the Manchurian soldiers and horses, Seoul fell on December 30, and they had no choice but to retreat to Guangling. Instead of issuing an edict to blame him, Injo made him the marshal of the capital, responsible for the military forces of Sannan and Gangwon Province. However, he was afraid of the mighty Manchu soldiers and refused to enter, so Injo had to go to the capital on the 30th day of the first lunar month. Surrendered out of Namhansan Fortress. Anyway. After being defeated by the barbarians, Marshal Du, two masters of talking, was like a wild dog on the roadside whose bones were taken out. He no longer dared to fight easily!
However, with the assists and kills of these pig teammates, King Injo of Goryeo could only stand at the south gate of Namhan Mountain City, looking at the black Manchu braided soldiers below the city, sighing and speechless. From then on, the former could only lead his ministers out of Namhan Mountain City and walk to Santianpo on the east bank of the Han River. Manchu promised to meet the Khan King Jilharang, fell to the ground to plead guilty, and offered (this chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 289 Jeju, Jeju (19)
Manchuria was Zhengshuo and made regular contributions, thus severing the vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty that had lasted for more than 200 years.
Goryeo, Jeju, Fucheng.
"Brothers, we eat from the leader and get paid by the leader. Today is the time to repay the kindness of the old man! Everyone listened to the order of a certain person, took off their armor, only wore a fat coat, and followed a certain person to kill this person. Take the capital city of Jeju and present it to the leader..." At this time, Chiyang was not idle either! There were forty-nine people on the leader's personal sentry post. Except for a few people who accompanied Kang Lin to protect the sentry, the other forty or so people all quietly came to the outside of Jeju City under the leadership of Dong Jimao, the deputy commander of the personal sentry post. Prepare to steal the city at night! On their left and right sides, there were forty elite Iron Man troops led by Iron Man Army Captain Wan Hong, and forty-two elite spearmen led by Spear Team Captain Ma Guomao to assist them! These people are Kanglin's secret weapon to win Jeju. Each of them is a warrior who is skilled in combat and has been on the battlefield for a long time. Among them, Dong Jimao, Huang Chong, Wan Hong, Chen Wande, Ma Guomao, Zhang Shuanggui and others are even better. Good guys, with them joining in, Leader Kanglin Kangda doesn’t think anything will go wrong during this trip. If they are faster, he may still be able to enter the city for breakfast before dawn!
"Quick, quick, quick!" Jeju City is only a foot high, and there are no battlements, parapets, hanging houses or other defensive measures on it! Therefore, Dong Jimao and others' assault on the city went very smoothly! Of course, Chiyang's early retreat behavior also very well confused the Korean defenders at the top of the city. They didn't think that the "Japanese pirates" would attack them on such a freezing night! As a result, the Goryeo defenders who were shivering under straw bags were in bad luck. Equipped with crossbows, flintlock muskets, and wild goose feather knives, the Chiyang raiding force used flying claws and ropes to quietly attack They climbed up the low city wall of Jeju and controlled the Korean defenders who were trying to warn them. Then, with the help of their companions, they put on their armor again and strode down the city along the breakthrough inside the city wall! Next, the next step is the personal show of the Chiyang warriors. Except for the ten people they assigned to control the city gate, the others all rushed into the city without saying a word. The night raiders only took down the outside of Jeju. There is still a wall inside the Wengcheng waiting for them to conquer. Now time is life and victory, and there is no room for them to delay at all!
"삼수, 밖에서무슨소리가나는지, 나는외부성벽에불을붙이는것을보았는데, 무슨변고가있는가 (三生, what’s the sound outside? I saw torches lit on the city wall outside. Is there something unexpected?" Jeju On the city wall, there was a soldier who suddenly woke up from his sleep, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and asked an old Goryeo soldier next to him in an uncertain tone.
"떠들지마라, 밖에서무슨일이생기면너와무슨상관이있느냐, 하늘이무너지면어른들이정상에오 르고, 자자, 잠들면배가고프지않고, 잠을자면몸이춥지않다 (Don’t make any noise, don’t make any noise, what’s going on outside What does it have to do with you? If the sky falls, there will be adults to support it. Just sleep, sleep, your stomach will not be hungry when you sleep, and your body will not be cold when you sleep)..."
The Goryeo soldiers only had six or seven dou of rice per month, and most of the time it was withheld by their immediate superiors. In addition, in order to hide themselves from the enemy when they were on duty at night, the officers did not allow the soldiers to light fires on the city walls to keep warm! Therefore, the old soldier named Sanshou seemed very impatient after being woken up by his companions. The guy who only drank a mouthful of wild vegetable porridge tonight felt that he was even hungrier after waking up, so after muttering a few words, the guy He wrapped the straw tightly around his body, turned over and began to snore evenly! When the soldier who asked the question saw that his soldier didn't pay attention to the noise outside, he had no choice but to give up! Then, a gust of cold wind covered with snow particles blew. The guy hurriedly shrank his neck, wrapped the dirty straw mat around himself again, and then leaned against the cold stone wall and snored! He did not expect that he missed an opportunity, an opportunity that could change his destiny, because at this time, as long as he stretched out his neck and looked down, he would find a large number of fully armored enemy troops heading toward the city quietly. Climbing up, as long as he raises the blunderbuss and shoots into the sky, the soldiers and civilians lying down in the city will be awakened to stand up and bravely resist the enemy's sneak attack! But he had no chance. More than a hundred Chiyang elite warriors had already crossed the low city wall and arrived at the silent city top! Next, the experienced sneak attackers followed suit and opened the heavy city gate at the last moment, letting Chiyang's army enter the city!

Chapter 289 Jeju, Jeju (19)
After entering the city, the assault troops found themselves entering the wilderness surrounded by city walls from the open wilderness. The fields, vegetable gardens, groves, ponds, and Korean houses with volcanic stone foundations and thatch roofs inside the city were just like outside the city. Dong Jimao and others had the illusion that this was not a city, but this did not prevent the former from continuing to trot forward. They had to completely seize this Korean ruling center on the big island before the Koreans could react!
