- The enemy's firepower is fierce, and Jeju Pastoral City will definitely not be able to take it back.
Li Hengzhong could only order the withdrawal of troops, hoping to lure the enemy out and rely on cavalry to win in field battles.
Just as the entire team was withdrawing, someone suddenly shouted: "Kill the factory supervisor!"
I saw many ragged cavalrymen (actually herdsmen), who seemed to have made an appointment in private long ago, launched a rebellion by surprise, and killed those cavalry generals who were wearing good clothes.
The herdsmen hated officials, and they were frequently exploited.
This is an island where criminals are exiled, how can officials be sympathetic to the people? It's not squeezed to death!
More than a dozen factory supervisors from various grasslands in Jeju Island, who served as cavalry generals temporarily, were killed by the herdsmen around them in a daze.
These guys, usually domineering, are finally getting their retribution now.
"Don't kill me, I will surrender!"
Pu Sheng, the supervisor of Jingyi County, shouted in a hurry, trying to escape on horseback, but was chased by the herdsmen around him and stabbed to death.
Jin Guorui, the supervisor of Dajing County, ran very fast, and he had fled to Li Hengzhong in a blink of an eye: "Master Mushi, Muzi on the island has rebelled, and he must be suppressed quickly!"
"I'm not blind, I don't need you to remind me!"
Li Hengzhong was startled and angry, and quickly summoned his personal guards, a total of more than two hundred cavalry, and immediately rushed towards the rebels.
More than 3,200 herdsmen all chose to defect, and Li Hengzhong was only left with more than 200 people in an instant.
However, there are more than two hundred cavalrymen, but they are chasing and killing more than three thousand herdsmen.
The scene was extremely weird.
More than 3,000 herdsmen on horseback did not dare to fight at all. They were chased and moved closer to the city wall, hoping to obtain the protection of Datong soldiers.
"Is the enemy internal strife?" Hu Dinggui asked confusedly.
Liu Ze crawled over and leaned against the wall of the village, and said in the official language of Ming Dynasty: "General Rong, if you can't take down Jeju Pastoral City quickly, or if you lose the battle, Li Hengzhong will be killed by the herdsmen and surrender."
Hu Dinggui smiled and asked: "Why?"
Liu Ze replied: "Jeju's navy has been lost, and no one on the island can escape. Everyone can surrender, but Li Hengzhong cannot surrender. He belongs to the Korean clan, and he has been guarding Gwanghaejun (Li Hui) for a long time. Gwanghaejun controls After Jeju Island, Li Hengzhong would have to die even if he surrendered. Moreover, the North Korean government exploited the herdsmen too much, and the herdsmen wanted to rebel a long time ago."
"No wonder he ordered the siege without his life," Hu Dinggui said with a smile, "Are you Han?"
Liu Ze replied: "I was born in a Korean Confucian family, and my grandfather studied in Daming for several years."
Hu Dinggui said: "You are very good, you can be my personal interpreter."
"Thank you, General!" Liu Ze hurriedly kowtowed.
More than 3,000 defected herdsmen rushed to the vicinity of the city wall, got off their horses and knelt down one after another, and sent envoys to chatter for a long time.
Liu Ze translated: "General Rong, this person said that they are all shepherds on the island, who were forced to work for Li Hengzhong. They were exploited by the North Korean leader in the past, and now they request to belong to the Ming Dynasty."
Hu Dinggui asked: "What is the situation on the island?"
Liu Ze's thinking is very quick, and he explained briefly: "Jeju Island was originally a horse breeding land in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolian criminals were continuously exiled to raise horses. In the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu also exiled the descendants of Yuanliang King, Chen Youliang and Ming Yuzhen. Come here. These people are very powerful. They gradually gathered wealth and moved away from Jeju Island. After the Imjin Japanese Invasion, North Korea was full of unclaimed wasteland. The descendants include Han Chinese, Koreans, and Mongols, and they have long been mixed blood and cannot distinguish ethnicity."
"Who owns the pasture and farmland?" Hu Dinggui asked again.
Liu Ze replied: "It belongs to the lord of Korea. The residents of the island are half farming and half grazing. Every year, they pay tribute to the lord with cattle and horses, and hand over land taxes to the island government. There are three cities and twelve townships on the island, all of which are under the management of the government. The government can take back pastures and farmland at will.¡±
Hu Dinggui turned around to discuss with Wang Yaochen for a while, and said to Liu Ze: "Tell them, as long as they are loyal, the tribute will be reduced by 10%, and their previous crimes will not be pursued."
Liu Ze immediately told the news, and the cavalry rushed back, and soon the herdsmen burst into cheers.
Surrender means surrender, but they dare not fight. More than 3,000 herdsmen shrank outside the city.
Li Hengzhong and Jin Ruorui, both in full armor, rode the two best horses on the island. There are more than 200 cavalry under their command, all of them are wearing leather armor, and each has a horse bow.
As for the more than 3,000 herdsmen who surrendered, not to mention wearing armor, even their clothes were worn out.
There are not even swords, most of them are equipped with spears.
Some spears,The soldiers learn how to take care of the horses, and the soldiers must eat and sleep with the horses every day. Of course, the herdsmen are responsible for feeding the night food, otherwise the soldiers would not be able to sleep well.
After half a month of training in this way, five hundred musketeers can already run casually on horses.
But it is impossible to march forward in an array, and the whole army changes direction urgently. This kind of high-end operation is even more impossible.
Their daily training subjects are to run for a while on horseback, then quickly get off the horse to fill the ammunition, and then get back on the horse and continue running-mounted musket infantry.
As for the heavy cavalry, they had to bring in high-quality horse breeds, and the pony horses in Jeju Island were not good at all
Dajing County.
After receiving Li Hengzhong's banquet, Jin Guorui was so frightened that he immediately ran to the stables, and rode out of the city on horseback.
Twenty cavalry quickly chased after him, and surrounded Jin Guorui after running for two miles: "County Supervisor, please go back, the Master Shepherd invites you to drink."
"Slow down!"
Jin Guorui was sweating on his back, and said to the cavalrymen: "I have found out clearly, this time it is not the Ming army, but Zhao Tianwang's army. Zhao Tianwang occupies half of Daming, and the territory is as big as ten North Koreas. Even if you If you can leave Jeju Island for the first time, you are not afraid to offend Zhao Tianwang? What's more, the navy of Jeju Island is gone, and the tribute horse envoy sent by the king of North Korea will not come until around the winter solstice. By then, we will definitely lose Already!"
These cavalrymen did not speak, but they did not move either.
Jin Guorui continued: "The enemy is using a tactic of alienation, a conspiracy. I did not betray the lord, but I was suspected by the pastor and sent you to hunt me down. After I die, who will be next? The enemy threatens, you You can surrender without guilt, will Li Hengzhong be suspicious of you? Like killing me today, kill the general who commanded the army?"
Seeing that the cavalry still did not respond, Jin Guorui said: "The enemy is training the cavalry every day. Li Hengzhong has more than 200 cavalry. How can he win? Are you going to accompany him to death? Go back with me, kill Li Hengzhong, and seek refuge. Mr. Guanghai (Li Hun)!"
After finishing speaking, Jin Guorui rode his horse and rushed to the county seat, and the cavalry followed.
After entering the city, Jin Guorui shouted all the way: "The bandits are here, the bandits are here!"
Dajing county suddenly became chaotic. Li Heng came out in armor and led his troops, and asked, "Is the bandit army here?"
Jin Guorui said: "It's already several miles away."
Li Heng said again: "It's not convenient for the cavalry to defend the city, so follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Jin Guorui sat on his horse and turned around, gesturing towards the twenty or so cavalrymen.
Those cavalry drew their bows and arrows in unison, and shot towards Li Heng at a distance of more than ten steps.
"kill!"
Fearing that he would not be shot, Jin Guorui rode his horse and rushed forward: "Surrender to avoid death!"
Li Hengzhong and his personal guards were caught off guard by the rain of arrows. Many people were hit by arrows in a daze, and some horses ran away after being injured. Seeing Jin Guorui leading troops to attack, the soldiers subconsciously avoided, but no one stopped him.
With one slash, Li Heng fell off the horse.
Jin Guorui raised his arms and shouted: "Li Hengzhong is dead, follow me to Lord Guanghai, follow me to King Zhao Tian!"
