Chapter 533: The Eight Banners Army landed in Japan
North Korea, Busan.
The sea was turbulent, the waves crashed on the shore, and the waves carried the tide and constantly slapped on the reef, making a huge sound.
In the twentieth year of Wanli, the port of Busan was invaded by the Japanese and became a Japanese colony, and the Korean War of Wanli lasted for several years, and finally the Japanese were defeated, and the port of Busan was rebuilt, and Korea resumed trade with Japan.
At this time, there were dozens of large and small fortune ships docked at the port wharf, these were not merchant ships that went to Japan to trade, but real troop carriers, loaded with 10,000 Eight Banner Army!
Since the Liaodong War, the Manchu Eight Banners suffered heavy losses, Dolgon killed the monarch and seized the throne, and after ascending the throne and claiming the emperor, he rebuilt the Eight Banners Army, imitated the Tianwu Army and specialized in firearms, and conquered the Korean State with lightning speed.
After Dolgon moved the capital to Seoul, he changed Seoul to Shengjing, and changed the name of the year to Shenxing, and the alliance with the Mongols of Mobei, on the basis of the three banners of Manchu, Mongolia and Han, added the eight banners of Korea.
Although there were many banners of the Eight Banners Army, there were 32 banners, but the supply of troops was scarce, and the newly built Mongolian Eight Banners were seriously short of people, and Dolgon had to use the Koreans as the Eight Banners of Mongolia.
This expedition to Japan is to grab some strong men from Japan to replenish the source of troops, and it is best to create another Japanese Eight Banners cannon fodder army.
When Dolgon first proposed the name of the era, Bao Chengxian, a scholar of the Inner Academy, proposed "Zhongxing", which means Zhongxing in the Qing Dynasty.
According to Han culture, the folk call the three gods of Fu, Lu and Shou as three stars, he wants to let the Qing Kingdom be touched by the joy of the three gods, and it can last longer, at least wait for his own breath.
Otherwise, when the Ming army comes, a traitor like himself Ken [Biqu Island] will definitely be liquidated.....
However, Dolgon was not satisfied with these two era names, and after several days of heated discussions, the ministers launched various era names, such as "Kangxi", "Yongzheng", and "Qianlong".
In the end, Dolgon's Sacred Heart dictatorship chose an era name called "Holy Void", although I don't know what it means, but it sounds very powerful!
However, after two years of holy void, Dolgon suddenly didn't need it anymore, and wanted to change the name of the era, the reason for this is that since he entered Korea, there were eight maidens a day, and he looked thin and haggard in less than half a month, and the people privately talked about him as the emperor of "kidney deficiency......
After a series of discussions, Dolgon finally took the year name "Shenxing" and became the emperor of Shenxing of the Qing Dynasty.
This expedition to Japan was made by the British Prince Azig, who led a total of 10,000 and 8 banner troops of the Manchu and Han dynasties, of which 5,000 were firecrackers.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the pass, and the commander was Azig, who was chased by Zhu Cihong and led the army all the way in Lengkou Pass, escaped from the pass, and was relieved of the military power by Huang Taiji as soon as he returned to Shengjing.
Azig and Dolgon are brothers, even if the relationship between the two is not very good, after all, they were born to a father, and after the usurpation, Dolgon issued an order to release Azig at that time, not only crowned him as the Prince of England, but also let him take charge of the Manchurian White Banner.
Azig looked at the rough seas and immediately ordered: "Set sail, march!" ”
In the sound of the long horn, one after another the lucky ships raised their sails and set sail towards the open sea.
Most of the ships used by the Qing army were taken from the Korean navy, and some were built during the attack on Phi Island and Jeju (the Joseon king fled to Jeju Island and was captured).
The coastal areas of Fuzhou and Jinzhou, which are close to North Korea, have always been in the hands of the Qing army, and there is no chance to recover them during the battle of Liaodong.
It was about 400 miles from the port of Busan to Japan, and in order to avoid the tragedy of the Mongol Yuan expedition to Japan, the Qing army deliberately avoided the typhoon-prone season and landed in Japan ahead of schedule.
As early as the Qing and Dutch arms trade, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a careful understanding of Japan, and both the current politics and topographical maps were sent to Dolgon's dragon case with each arms trade and smuggling trade.
After a long period of preparation and several tentative landings and plunders, the Manchu Qing finally discovered that Japan was actually a lamb to the slaughter, fat and soft, and should be able to handle it casually!
Seeing the coastline appear in front of them, the originally boring and sleepy eyes of Azig and many other Eight Banner generals suddenly became greedy and shining.
Azig laughed and said, "The warriors of the Qing Dynasty, prepare to go ashore and rob them all!" ”
The flag of the sailor was waved, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners were excited, ready to go ashore to do a great job, and the great benefits brought to them by the Great Qing Dynasty during their eastward expedition to Korea, especially the breast-revealing clothes worn by Korean women......
I heard that Japan is fatter than North Korea, and the masters of the Eight Banners Army are even more energetic!
"The demon is here!"
"The demon is here, run!"
The Changzhou Domain on the island of Kyushu in Japan, where chickens and dogs jumped, and several tentative landings and looting by the Qing army made the local Japanese frightened and regarded the strange Qing army as a demon.
As the fleet docked, Azig ordered the Eight Banners Army to quickly assemble and prepare for battle, because he saw that the Japanese army, which had been prepared, was approaching.
As the war drums sounded, the flags of the Qing army's position fluttered, the colorful Eight Banner Army was arranged in an orderly manner, and a huge phalanx was quickly formed, with spears like forests and firearms pointing obliquely.
The sound of horses' hooves on both wings came, and the black-pressed cavalry gathered into two torrents, protecting the two wings of the musket array, which was the battle array of the Tianwu Army.
The Japanese troops on the opposite side also came in formation, the family crest of the feudal lord daimyo was covered in clouds, and a group of Japanese soldiers in red armor came armed with bamboo spears and swords with local characteristics.
At this time, Japan was the shogunate period, and the Tokugawa shogunate territory accounted for about a quarter of the entire Japanese land, and the rest was owned by the daimyo (princes), which was called a feudal state.
Dressed in gorgeous purple armor, helmets with horns and terrifying masks, the daimyo of the Nagasu domain surrounded him with a group of samurai armed with iron cannons (fire guns).
The daimyo sneered: "This group of Qing demons has landed on the shore three times and raided and plundered all the coastal areas of my territory, and this time they will definitely give them a good look!" ”
But these Qing demons seem to be a bit of a lot of people who have come here......
Neither side carried artillery, the Eight Banners Army was crossing the sea to fight and loot, and the artillery was too heavy and occupied the ship.
And the Japanese army did not want to bring artillery, but it really did not have it!
The use of artillery in Japan is very rubbish, there are only a small number of artillery in the country, all of which are placed on the city walls where the major names live, and the Battle of Sekigahara, which is important in Japanese history, records the use of three cannons, or the small cannon of the Franc machine.
In the camp of the Qing army, the luxurious woven gold dragon silk was erected, the dense bayala was gathered, Azig held a telescope, and saw the family emblem and flag of the Japanese army waving in the wind, and the army seemed to be forming a formation, and the formation was like a bird, which was quite strange.
Azig put down the binoculars, sneered, and said, "Bells and whistles, pass on the king's order, attack!" ”
