Chapter 358 Jianghua Island
Seeing Li Guodong, Wu Daji, Yin Ji and Hong Yihan kneeling on the ground, Wu Daji said passionately: "My North Korea has been the righteous Ming Dynasty for generations, and unexpectedly recruited the barbarians. Now that I have suffered this disaster, I hope the general will save our Korean king, minister and people in the midst of water and fire!"
"I hope the general will save my monarch and ministers of North Korea!" Yin Ji and Hong Yihan kowtowed and begged hard.
Li Guodong looked embarrassed: "It's a pity that our army has only 2,100 people, so how can we resist the 120,000 Jiannu army?"
Wu Daji looked sad and angry: "My North Korean Li Dynasty has been tributed to the Ming Dynasty for generations. Why is it that the Ming Dynasty has not sent troops to rescue it now?"
"I beg for the general, I hope the general will report to the Emperor Ming Dynasty and send troops to Daming to rescue our country!" Yin Ji and Hong Yihan also lay on the snow, knocking their foreheads on the snow, begging hard.
"Now the Ming Dynasty is in trouble with internal and external troubles, and the court is even short of silver and cannot even pay military salaries. How can there be the power to send troops to rescue like the last Japanese riot in Renchen? Only Li brought 2,100 troops to help; there were more than 10,000 naval troops in the Zheng family to deal with the Jiannu naval troops." Li Guodong replied.
"What can two thousand and one hundred people do? Can the Ming Dynasty court increase its troops?" Wu Daji asked unwillingly.
Li Guodong loudly said in a loud voice: "Two thousand one hundred people can at least ensure that Jiannu cannot defeat Jianghua Island! It can ensure the safety of the princess and the families of all ministers! With me 2,100 elite soldiers, even a Jiannu can never set foot on Jianghua Island!"
"But tens of millions of our North Korean people were trapped under the iron hoofs of the captives. Can the general bear to refuse to save them?" Yin Ji almost cried.
"I will save you. There is not a large island in southern Korea called Danluo? But the generals and the people temporarily moved to Danluo to avoid chaos. When Jiannu evacuated, they would go back to the land. This time, Li invited the Zheng family navy. In addition to fighting against the Jiannu Navy, they would assist the vassals in evacuating the military and civilians. "From the inner feelings, Li Guodong certainly did not want to save more Goryeo people. He wanted the more Goryeo knots were killed by the Qing army, as better. But at this time, he could only take as many Goryeo people as possible to avoid being used by Jiannu.
Although he did not get the answer he wanted, Wu Daji also knew that the current situation of the Ming Dynasty was not very optimistic, so he thanked Li Guodong: "If General Li can save more of our North Korean soldiers and civilians, we are willing to create new words for the general and thank General for his great kindness to save North Korea."
"I'll be spared the new words," Li Guodong suddenly remembered something, "By the way, where is the prince of the vassal?"
"The prince and the king went to Nanhan Mountain City with him." Yin Ji replied.
"I'm confused!" Li Guodong sighed, "Your vassal was in such a disaster, how could the prince and the king go to the same place? If the Hannan Mountain City was destroyed by Jiannu, wouldn't it be taken away?"
Yin Ji swore: "The Nanhan Mountain City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Jiannu will definitely not be able to break through. Our North Korean army has set out and will arrive in Hanyang soon. When our elite army arrives, we will be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."
Li Guodong sneered in his heart: Where did Gaoli Bangzi get the courage to say that he could defeat Jiannu? I'm afraid it wasn't given by Liang Jingru? So he said, "I'm afraid you don't have the confidence to stop Jiannu? If you have confidence, why arrange the princess and family to Jianghua Island instead of following the king to Nanhanshan City?"
Wu Daji, Yin Ji, Hong Yiwen and others were speechless.
The scene was once awkward for a long time, and Hong Yiwen asked, "Since that's the case, can the general go to Nanhan Mountain City to rescue the prince?"
"I'm afraid it's too late now. After Jiannu captured Hanyang City, he would have surrounded Nanhanshan City. And I guess Jiannu will come to attack Jianghua Island soon! I'll protect everyone's safety first, and then find a way to rescue the prince after defeating Jiannu who attacked Jianghua Island. This Jianghua Island is too close to Hanyang. After all, it's not a place to stay for a long time. I will find a way to send you to Danluo Island far away from Jiannu."
Yin Ji said worriedly: "Although Danluo is far away from Jiannu, he is too close to the Japanese. If the Japanese land on the island, wouldn't the families of our Korean royal officials be caught in one go?"
"Don't worry, the Japanese are ally of General Zheng. With General Zheng here, the Japanese will not attack your vassal."
On the Han River not far from Jianghua Island, Huang Taiji Camp is waving flags, the Qing army approaches the seaside and looks out at Jianghua Island not far from the shore.
"Dorgon!" Huang Taiji said.
"The slave is here!"
"The Princess of Goryeo, and all the ministers and families have boarded Jianghua Island. You can quickly recruit the nearby Goryeo navy and let them take our army to the island!"
"twitter!"
Huang Taiji pointed to the direction of the Hannan Mountain City: "The Korean king and the prince all entered the mountain city. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our army does not have to force the attack. We should focus on siege, surround and fight aid, and eliminate the Goryeo army that came to rescue! As long as Dorgon succeeds and captures the princess and the family of ministers, the Goryeo people will lose all their fighting spirit and go out of the city to surrender!"
"The emperor is wise!" A compliment sounded in the central army's tent.
In Hanyang City, most of the Qing army that had been looted for three days had retreated to the outside of the city, and a few people were still robbed in the city, but there was really nothing to rob. Apart from being able to capture a few surviving Korean people, the Qing army who stayed in the city did not gain much.
Jin Guangya, who had been hiding in Cui's mansion for a night, found no food except to find a jar of kimchi in the kitchen. Jin Guangya, who had been hungry, didn't care about so much. He grabbed a handful of kimchi and stuffed it into his mouth, picked up a handful of snow from the ground, and swallowed the kimchi in the snow. After a large handful of kimchi, he temporarily relieved his hunger a little, but after a while, he felt even hungry.
Jin Guangdi touched another room, and this time he was lucky. He found two pieces of cake and a little tea fruit in this room that was obviously a female family member.
"This should be the boudoir of Miss Cui's family." Jin Guangde ate and said in his heart. The family members in Cui's mansion had been sent to Jianghua Island. Only some personal maids, trusted servants and other senior slaves. All the servants and maids who could not leave were suffering. The old men and children were killed by the Qing army. The young men and young women were all captured. What awaited them was a tragic fate. Some maids were tortured to death by the Qing soldiers in the mansion. He was originally led to guard the city, but he didn't expect the city to break so quickly that he had no time to escape to Hannanshan City, so he had to hide in the city and finally saved his life.
Jin Guangdi found a scarf thrown by the female family in the mansion and carefully wrapped the two pieces of cake. Now even a grain of food in the city has been snatched away by the Qing soldiers, and this little food can save his life at a critical moment.
But just as Jin Guangdi walked out of Cui Mansion, he met more than a dozen Qing soldiers. This time he was not so lucky and was caught by the Qing soldiers.
"I just said that there must be people in the city! I caught another strong man and took him back to be an Aha. This is a great contribution!" said a Qing soldier.
"Just just think of my Aha! I'm missing Aha! All the big and small families are waiting for Aha to farm." It was Zhang Qinglin who spoke.
"Slow down!" Niu Luezhen said, "Check this person's identity first, not a criminal from the Goryeo!"
Jin Guangdi was taken back to the Qing army camp, and soon after, someone brought a surrendered North Korean officer. Zhang Qinglin asked, "Do you know this person?"
"Meet! He is Kim Sang-hyun's son!" the surrendered official replied.
"Hahaha! That's great! We have made great contributions!" Niu Lue laughed, "Hasn't Kim Sang-hyun always been tough on us? He claims to resist to the end. Now, his young master falls into our hands! Hurry up, send this Goryeo dog to the emperor for his reward!"
