Chapter 339: "Borrowing" Jeju Island

Jeju Island is too small for the captives who are fighting in all directions. It took more than two days to write the "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, and more than 15,000 people on the island knew that tens of thousands of troops from the Celestial Empire had come to the island.

However, the captives did not embarrass them. I just begged them for some water to drink, some food, and some copper coins. It surprised these people for a while: the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor on the island could always take it and leave, ask them for money, and command it in exchange for a leather whip.

But the strange thing is that the people on the island can understand most of the official language of the captive army. Luo Xuan specially called several "adults" on the island to interrogate, saying that it was because of many things on the island, the families of officials exiled by the Li Dynasty, and most of the officials in the upper echelons of the Li Dynasty could speak some official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and the writing was even more directly in Chinese characters.

Luo Outline suddenly realized.

It didn't take long to find the horses of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the middle of the island, and then several wooden houses in the horse pen, in which more than 500 Korean soldiers were stationed.

These North Korean soldiers were all guarding the horses in the horse farms on the island, and by the way, they were stationed on the island for security. As early as a day ago, the news that a large group of unknown soldiers and horses had been killed on Jeju Island was reported to the North Korean mainland.

However, it was nearly a day's journey from Jeju Island to Mokpo, the nearest city in Muan-gun, and now the captives surrounded their camp, but help had not yet arrived.

But even if help comes, what can it do? Mokpo only has more than 1,000 troops at most, how to deal with this nearly 10,000 enemy army? And there are hundreds of warships at sea, and the entire North Korean naval division is not so large-scale.

The 500 Korean soldiers were all cavalry, relying on the horses they had, and they were trying to rush out. First, thousands of horses were driven to open the way in front, and for a time thousands of horses galloped, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

If it had been changed to other armies, it would have been possible for these Korean soldiers to take the opportunity to follow behind their horses and escape. However, the captives did not give them a chance, and when most of the horses had rushed away, they surrounded them with foreign guns and shotguns.

Five hundred Korean soldiers, driving the remaining horses, accelerated their speed and rushed forward, when suddenly the horses running at high speed in front of them gave up and fell to the ground, with a burst of mournful screams, dozens of horses fell, and they were thrown off on horseback behind them.

In this blow, more than 100 people were hit.

"Tribulus Smecta!" The Korean soldier shouted, and then he realized that when he saw them rushing out just now, the enemy threw thistles.

And that's not all. The rest of the Korean cavalry did not slow down in the slightest, and just as they tried to break out of the encirclement on the wounded horses and the corpses of their companions, they heard a thudding sound, and thousands of shotgun buckshots were fired at the cavalry in the middle, and they fell one after another.

"Surrender or kill!" The guide who came from the Ryukyus shouted in Korean.

One after another, dozens of soldiers surrendered on their knees.

Thus, the war soon ended.

Except for nearly 200 men who fled behind the herd, the rest of the Korean soldiers were either captured, shot by shotguns, or thrown from wounded horses, wounded or killed.

Liang Peiyou immediately interrogated several captured Korean soldiers, and after interrogation, these soldiers were all soldiers from the "common people" selected from the Korean mainland, and they came to Jeju Island to stay for three years and then returned.

The current king of North Korea is the 25th monarch Yi Yu, who has just ascended the throne for three or four years, and his relatives Andong Kim are in autocratic power, the state politics are dim, and the entire Korean society is on the verge of collapse.

Liang Peiyou was shocked when he learned from the captives that the North Korean sailors were all broken fishing boats. It is no wonder that two or three warships of foreigners can escort foreigners to show off their military might everywhere in Korea. It turned out that since North Korea closed itself off from the rest of the country, it had not developed any sailors.

In this way, Liang Peiyou no longer worries about the interference of North Korean sailors.

The remaining 1,500 men of the 13th Brigade were stationed at the northernmost pier of Jeju Island, and fortifications and camps were built to prevent the landing of Korean troops.

After that, he collected 2,000 war horses and 7,000 bantam horses, all of which were kept in captivity, guarded by people, and prepared to be transported back to Quanzhou in Fujian when there was a ship. For these horses, but they are a major trophy, and the entire captive army, there are no war horses for the formation of cavalry, and now there are finally them.

He then ordered the soldiers of the captive army to collect the wounded horses and bantams, and distribute some of them to the people of the island in exchange for food, and some of them to be made into jerky for military rations.

Then, Luo Xuan and Liang Peiyou led the 5th and 5th Divisions along the coast of Korea, all the way to the north, and just when they wanted to cross the strait and turn to Dengzhou in the west of Shandongdong, hundreds of small warships temporarily converted by fishing boats met them.

The lookout on the flagship of the "Humen" sounded the alarm. Luo Xuan ordered, and the fleet issued a warning, asking the other side to avoid.

But I don't know if the other party didn't understand the flag, or deliberately ignored it, and continued to rush head-on. Luo Xuan ordered dozens of warships to come forward to intercept.

Unexpectedly, there was smoke and flames on more than ten small warships in front of the other party, and they were all fireboats that dared to die, but fortunately they did not rush over directly, but sent a small rowing boat that was not on fire, holding a white flag, and rowed over.

It turned out to be peace talks.

It's really too powerful for the sailors of the captive army! Hundreds of warships! Even if foreigners came to Jeju Island to harass them a while ago, there were only two or three warships, and the DPRK knew that it could not defeat these hundreds of ships, so it came to think of peace talks.

However, peace talks also need some capital, so hundreds of fishing boats were recruited, and the original warships came to increase the weight of peace talks. Luo Xuan is no longer a simple leader of the troops, he has received surrendered troops many times, and he has found out some of the thoughts of the surrendered people.

This North Korea is nothing more than not to give them too harsh conditions, otherwise, they will lead fireships to fight desperately with the captive army.

Amusing! How could these small fishing boats burn their own warships in this wide sea? If it were in a narrow river, even in the strait, it would be possible, and now this place is ......

Luo Xuan pondered as he sent someone to bring the North Korean official who had negotiated the peace to the "Humen".

The person whose surname is Kim, and his official position is the Grand Sixian of the Sixian Mansion, but he made a special trip from Hanyang, the capital of North Korea.

He said that on behalf of the Korean lord and Andong Kim, he would sue for peace with the Celestial Army, and as long as he did not attack Korea, he could only make any demands.

Only then did Luo Outline understand that this person surnamed Kim was the most powerful and authoritarian relative in North Korea, a member of the Andong Kim family, no wonder he could represent the head of North Korea and the Anton Kim family.

They were afraid of the invasion of foreign enemies, so they broke the situation in which they monopolized the military and political power of North Korea and gave their political enemies a chance.

Luo Gang immediately proposed that he would gather 500,000 stone of grain within a month and cede Jeju Island, so that he would be safe and sound, and he would no longer be embarrassed by North Korea. Otherwise, directly attack the capital Hanyang.

The people surnamed Kim expressed their willingness to add 100,000 stone of grain, but begged not to cede Jeju Island and lease it instead.

Well, it turned out to be the one who learned from the suzerain, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and died to save face. Lease is lease, then borrow for 99 years, isn't it the same as ceding, and you can earn 100,000 stone of grain for nothing.

An agreement was signed: the Treaty of Hajj.

Then, the people surnamed Jin happily went back to restore their lives. No one knows the specific content of the "Holy Pilgrimage Treaty", but it is known that within two days, hundreds of fishing boats were carrying grain back and forth to Jeju Island, and the 1,500 soldiers of the 13th Brigade stationed at the dock on the island were happily busy carrying grain.
