The four northern generals, Xianxing Dadu, Jizhou Duhu, Huangzhou Duhu, and Haizhou Duhu, led troops to King Qin one after another, and there were no officers and soldiers in the entire northern part of Korea.
As for the General Protector of Pyongyang, he was defeated and died.
The monarchs and ministers of North Korea retreated in Cheorwon. It is located at the north-south hub, which is not only convenient for defense, but also convenient for the confluence of King Qin's troops from all over the place.
"Your Majesty, more than 6,000 troops from the capital have arrived one after another," Song Junji reported.
Song Junji and Song Shiyeol, both the former kings of Joseon, were promoted by the Shandang (a faction of the Western People's Party) before their death. Song Junji served as the military judge, equivalent to the Minister of the Ministry of War; Song Shilie served as the official Cao judge, equivalent to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
Li Wei finally had a sense of security: "Okay, very good, there are rewards for all of them."
The former king expanded his army aggressively, and all the elite troops were stationed in Hanyang. There are 1,500 Imperial Guards, 1,800 new Firearms Battalions, and 21,000 Guards in the Imperial Battalion¡ªin history, the 1,000 firearms soldiers in the North Korean Firearms Battalion were also transferred by the Qing Dynasty to fight Cossacks, and they were more heroic than the Eight Banners Army. , The number of enemies killed is far higher than that of the Eight Banners Army.
When Li Wei abandoned the city and ran away, he didn't even care about the army, and only took away 1,500 imperial troops.
Some of the rest of the army chose to surrender to the Datong Army in consideration of their families, while others fled with the officers in the chaos. After the Qin King's Order was issued, these fleeing troops actually gathered to the king on their own initiative, and more than 6,000 people arrived one after another.
The peasants in northern North Korea bombed at one o'clock, but the army in Gyeonggi Province in the central part was still loyal to the king.
As for the southern part of North Korea, it is the world of two groups of nobles and gentry, you can understand it as the Jiangnan area of ??Ming Dynasty.
Even if China wants to annex North Korean territory, it is best to only swallow the north. Once the south-central region is annexed, there will inevitably be riots one after another, and the annual cost of garrisoning troops and fighting chaos will remain high.
Li Wei gave Song Junji full command of the army, and the soldiers began to reorganize immediately. There are more than 8,000 people in the central army, and more than 14,000 troops of the local King Qin, and more than 30,000 volunteers (tuanlian and civilian husbands) were recruited on the spot.
? Li Eun-ai, the leader of the Hwanghae-do Peasant Army, dispatched 3,000 vanguard troops, but was killed by North Korean officers and soldiers halfway. Although the artillery of the North Korean Central Army was lost in Hanyang, the gunfire soldiers and cavalry were still there, and it was a unilateral crush when dealing with the peasant army.
At the same time, Han Qiyuan attacked the city all the way, and the peasants in the west of Hamgyong Road were encouraged by this to rise up, and gradually formed four major resistance forces.
? Yuan Shoucheng of Ping'an Road led an army of more than 30,000 peasants. In addition to the support of Datong's fine work, there was also funding from Taiwanese businessmen behind him. These Taiwanese businessmen are not satisfied with only trading on the Yalu River, and they wish China could wipe out North Korea.
? Li Enai of Huanghai Road led an army of more than 20,000 peasants. He also had the support of Datong's fine work, and was also supported by Songshang.
Wan merchants and Song merchants are in a competitive relationship, and the two peasant armies are therefore hostile to each other. If it weren't for Datong's meticulous work to communicate, the two rebel armies would most likely be fighting among themselves, and they would fight themselves without the use of North Korean officers and soldiers to quell the chaos.
As for Xianjingdao, Han Qiyuan commanded more than 20,000 troops, and Jin Chang commanded more than 6,000 troops. Without the support of merchants behind them, they simply couldn't survive, and they revolted under the instigation of Datong Xizuo.
"Li Enai was defeated, and the entire vanguard army was wiped out," said Jin Yanjun, the general of the Datong Army. chaos."
Envoy Dang Chongjun sighed: "Those people from the National Security Council did not say hello, and they secretly made such a big deal. We can't help openly. After all, North Korea is a state, and the peasant army is a bandit."
Jin Yanjun looked at the map of North Korea and said: "We can divide our troops to Chuncheon to prevent the Qin King's army from the south from going north, and at the same time stop the North Korean ruler from fleeing south. As long as Chuncheon is occupied, the food in the south will be very easy." If it is difficult to transport to the north, the North Korean officers and soldiers will definitely be short of food."
"Yes." Dang Chongjun nodded.
Hanyang, Kaesong, and Chuncheon can all communicate by water.
The Datong Army recruited inland ships and quickly divided up to arrive outside Chuncheon City. King Qin's army from Chungcheong Province had just arrived in Chuncheon, and the two sides faced each other across the river without starting a war.
With the passage of time, the Chosun King Army on the south bank of Chuncheon gradually reached more than 40,000 people, and they were all blocked by the Datong Army and unable to cross the river.
Datong's army did not attack, and Qin Wang's army did not dare to cross the river by force. At the same time, King Qin's army didn't dare to take a detour. Once they went to the east and took the mountain road, their grain road might be cut off by the Datong army at any time.
Northwest of Cheorwon, by the Linjin River.
The nearly 60,000 peasant army and more than 50,000 North Korean officers and soldiers have been confronting each other across the river for several days.
"My lord, General Lin is here!"
 Song Junji said: "The heavenly soldiers occupy the three cities, and there will be no changes after that. They will definitely not destroy our country. They just wait and see the current situation to gain more benefits. The chaos in the north is nothing but a must. All can be calmed down. Only Lin Qingye is the real confidant. His prestige in the army is too high, and even the court officials have his admirers, so we must not let him make great contributions!"
Song Shilie said: "I know Lin Qingye. He has a public heart and will not form cliques to mess with the government."
Song Junji said: "He doesn't form cliques to mess with the government, but he is a descendant of Lin Zheng, and he came from the same school as Yin Kai. We finally drove out the Nanren Party, and we must not let the Nanren Party have the opportunity to re-enter the court. !"
"But apart from Lin Qingye, who has the ability to lead troops to quell the chaos?" Song Shilie asked back.
Song Junji gritted his teeth and said: "Xianjing Road is not our country's territory at all, and most of the people there are savages. There is also Ping'an Road, which is a despicable land. These two places, it is better to dedicate these two places to the Celestial Dynasty, and let the civil unrest be put down by the Celestial Soldiers. In this way, not only solving the civil unrest, but also allowing the Celestial Empire to retreat, isn¡¯t it the best of both worlds?¡±
Song Shilie was furious: "You who sell land for glory, I am ashamed to be in the party with you. From now on, I will quit the Shandang, and I will never cede land and donate land!"
