The Korean commanders and generals whipped their horses and fled back to Seoul for their lives.

The Qing army commander also whipped his horse and fled back to Seoul with his life.

Then more than 100 remnants of the Qing army whipped their fast horses and fled back to Seoul with their lives.

And then...... Then the gates of Seoul were closed, and they refused to be opened. It can be seen from this that those Korean soldiers who fled were really prescient, and even if they fled to Seoul, they would not be able to enter the city. It's better to go to the countryside and hide from the cats.

Anyway, this time the Qing army and the Korean army sent out more than 7,000 soldiers and horses, but less than 200 people returned. But what makes people vomit even more blood is that after such a battle, the king and ministers of Joseon still don't know where the enemy army is.

It should be said that the Qing army commander and some Qing soldiers knew that it was the newly established army of the Daping Dynasty. But what can you say about the Qing army leader? Do you blow yourself up?

It is important to know that Joseon's fear and awe of the Central Plains Dynasty are deep in the bone marrow, and even after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army invaded Korea that year, the Joseon king was willing to annex the whole of Korea into the territory of the Ming Dynasty and accept the protection of the Ming Dynasty. So later North Korea simply went to the extreme, they did not develop their own armaments at all, anyway, there was a Ming Dynasty to fight for them!

In order to maintain their rule in Korea, the Manchus not only went to Korea twice, but also hyped up the incompetence of the Central Plains Dynasty and the military strength of the Great Qing State in Korea. Therefore, whenever the war against the Ming was victorious, the Manchus hyped up Korea. Of course, this propaganda is also quite sufficient. The ratio of battle losses between the two armies is even more exaggerated.

However, after this fiasco, could it be that the Qing army commander said: It is the army of the newly established Daping Dynasty in the Central Plains that came, and their combat effectiveness ...... Isn't it worse than the Qing army? Even if the Qing army leader has a tendency to be abused. You can't slap yourself in the face!

As a result, the Qing army advisers blurred the enemy, diverted the topic, shirked responsibility, and only forced the Joseon king to kill the civilian official who commanded the Korean army, and put the responsibility for the defeat on the Koreans.

However, the Korean monarchs and ministers did not see through the little trick of the Qing army, or in other words, they did not say anything if they saw through it. Since the emperor has spoken, then send the head of a courtier to make him happy. But at this time, the Korean monarch finally knew the truth. Whose army is coming?

This time, Huang Xiang marched to Seoul and did not spare his hands, he took the first batch of sailors to arrive with a regiment of marines. More than 2,400 horses were brought out.

Since it has been decided to go to Seoul, there is no need to leave troops in Incheon. It is useless to keep one or two hundred people, and it will not be able to stop the possible army of North Korea at all. But if this regiment is left in its entirety in Incheon. That is also waiting for the large forces of North Korea to come to besiege. It's better to bluff and attack the city of Seoul, so that the North Koreans can't find out the truth of the Daeping army.

As for the main forces of the second batch of Gonzalez? Anyway, Incheon Port had no fort defense, and it was completely impossible to prevent the Marine Corps from forcibly landing. Is it true that a North Korean force has come to block it, and the coastline of North Korea is so long, won't it just find another port to land? Therefore, Huang Ding only considered his own troops to obtain the results.

To be honest, before the war, the Marine Corps actually did not think about attacking Seoul. Plus Gonzalez's centaurs. The first batch of marines landed only 7,000 people, and they had to go north to the Yalu River as soon as possible. Put pressure on the Manchu flanks, so they won't get entangled in the capital of Korea.

But what surprised Huang Ding was that the North Korean troops were so. Before there was a battle at all, the North Korean troops, which were two or three times larger than their own number, would have been completely defeated. Then Huang Ding will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob, so let's chase it to the foot of Seoul in one go!

Now that you have chased it to Seoul, you have to show off your might. What galloping around the city, what scolding, anyway, how disgusting how to come. But this disgusting made the North Korean officials on the city wall hear the strangeness. This group of enemy soldiers came to speak plain Chinese!

As soon as the news reached the ears of the Joseon king and several auxiliary ministers, their thoughts immediately increased. What Han pirates, the Celestial Empire sent troops, etc., anyway, there are a lot of speculations. However, no matter how much they guessed, they would never get a true answer, so after some secret discussions, they prepared to hide from the Qing army in the city, and privately sent envoys out of the city to find out one or two.

In the evening of the same day, a bold North Korean official fell from a hanging basket and came to the camp of the Daepyeong army. And Huang Ding also met with the messenger. After that, Huang Ding declared to the envoy that this was the Central Empire's conquest of Korea, and Huang Ding's troops were only the vanguard, and the following tens of thousands of troops were also on their way to Korea.

This unexpected news immediately confused the messenger, and he hurriedly asked the reason why the Celestial Empire had come to conquer.

So Huang Ding explained the reason for the perfidy of the Korean state, and emphatically pointed out: The Korean envoy did not pay homage at the founding ceremony of the Daepyeong Dynasty, which was the contempt of the small Korean country for the emperor of the Daepyeong Dynasty, and the Daepyeong Dynasty was bound to destroy the small Korean country.

As soon as this reason was spoken, the messenger was stunned. And all of this is caused by poor information.

Because the sea route was not accessible in winter, the land route was in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. So until now, North Korea only knows that the Beijing city of the Ming Dynasty has been breached, and Emperor Chongzhen has also died. But they didn't know that Wu Shigong's Great Ping Dynasty had been established.

Moreover, the North Korean envoy who was expelled at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China is still living on the outskirts of Beijing because he cannot return to China. Therefore, the Korean monarchs and ministers did not know the scene that happened at the founding ceremony of the Daeping Dynasty.

For the crusade of the Daeping Army and the accusation of perfidy in North Korea, the Korean monarchs and ministers can also find some reasons to justify one or two. But for the emperor of the Daping Dynasty to pay homage, now this envoy has no way to explain, because he doesn't know about the Tao at all, so how to explain it?

In desperation, I had no choice but to turn in the problem. So the envoy said a lot of good things to Huang Ding, and then asked what conditions the Heavenly Army wanted? Let North Korea avert the scourge of war?

Facing the bamboo pole sent to the door, Huang Ding didn't have a lion's mouth. In addition to asking for a batch of grain and grass supplies, Huang Ding put forward three conditions: first, hand over the Qing army in Seoul and let the Daping army enter and station; 2. The military operations of the Daepyeong Army in the territory of the DPRK shall not be hindered by the DPRK Army; 3. Restore the suzerainty status of the Daepyeong Dynasty over Korea.

Originally, Huang Ding also wanted North Korea to send troops to fight the Qing army together. But seeing the appearance of the North Korean army, Huang Ding resolutely did not want this kind of pig teammate.

In any case, the North Korean envoy also gained something today. After writing down the conditions put forward by Huang Ding, he hung himself from the city wall into the city overnight and entered the palace to pay his respects.

At this time, the king of Joseon and several auxiliary ministers did not rest, and they were also anxious for news of the envoy. When they heard about the conditions proposed by the Daping Army, they also eagerly discussed.

There was no objection to the other conditions, and they were all ready to agree to the Daping army outside the city. But for the first article, the Korean monarchs and ministers were a little undecided. Not because Seoul could not allow the Daeping army to enter, but because it was because the Qing army in the city was to be sacrificed. The Joseon monarchs feared that this move would anger the Manchus, and in the event that the Ping Dynasty was defeated by the Manchus, the Qing army would retaliate against the Koreans.

And this discussion dragged on until dawn, and then the situation of the battle changed again.

In the early morning of the 4th day of the first month of April, four gunboats of the Daepyeong Army, which sailed down the river from the mouth of the Han River, sailed near the water gate of Seoul and opened fire on the city. And this shelling suddenly frightened the Korean monarchs and ministers to their senses.

Then, on the 5th day of the fourth month, the second group of 4,100 marines, led by Gonzalez, also landed at the port of Incheon. Along with the fleet, there were hundreds of managers of the reclamation merchant house led by Chang Meng and 500 escorts of the merchant house.

Because Gonzalez's fleet was led by the Zheng family's crew, they did not follow the coastline, but walked in a straight line, and the speed of the big ships was also fast, so this fleet was only a few days slower than Huang Ding's fleet.

And when the two armies converged, the Korean monarchs and ministers immediately made up their minds. No matter how you say it, the threat of the Daping Army is immediate, and the retaliation of the Qing Army is the future, so let's pass the current level first!

So the king of Joseon secretly sent an envoy out of the city, and proposed: It is okay to sacrifice the Qing army in the city, but the Daping army must do it himself. North Korea could only sneak the Daping army into the city, and did not undertake the task of capturing the Qing army.

At this time, the Korean monarchs and ministers were still deceiving themselves.

After that, everything went well. There were only more than 300 Qing troops in Seoul, and they couldn't stop the nearly 7,000 Daping troops. Coupled with the leading party sent by North Korea, the entire strangulation mission is no danger or danger.

However, as soon as the Daepyeong army took control of Seoul, they immediately besieged the palace and took control of the Joseon king. After all, Gonzalez came to the East to colonize, and his colonial experience is quite rich. So he wanted to maintain his colonial rule over Korea by controlling the king and supporting a group of pro-China ministers in the Korean court.

Then, under the auspices of Chang Meng, the Daepyeong Dynasty signed a series of treaties with Korea: the Jeju Island was ceded to the Daepyeong Dynasty; confiscate the property of the pro-Qing Korean ministers, and use it all as compensation for the Daepyeong Dynasty; North Korea is not allowed to have an army except for the security forces, and the defense and diplomacy of the entire country are undertaken by the Daepyeong Dynasty, but North Korea will pay the corresponding military expenses every year; Buying a large number of forest farms and mines in North Korea at the price of cabbage, and developing them in joint ventures with the Joseon king and pro-China ministers; Comprehensively implement Chinese language education; comprehensive trade, etc.

The signing of this series of treaties completely included Korea in the colonial rule of the Daepyeong Dynasty. Moreover, the Koreans had little resistance to this series of treaties, because they were accustomed to becoming vassal states of the Central Empire. Even North Korea's forests, mines, etc., were not of great use in the past, so no one developed them in the first place. And now, because of the development of the reclamation trading house, the Joseon king and the pro-China ministers have made a fortune, so from the bottom of their hearts, they all support such a "wise" rule of the Daepyeong Dynasty.

By the end of April, when the second batch of marines of the Daeping Army arrived, the Korean garrison had reached more than 13,000. Gonzalez and Hwang Ding left a thousand soldiers and horses and a merchant house to guard Seoul, and they began to advance north with the rest of their troops. (To be continued......)
