Emperor Yongli Chapter 246: Korean War

It was a Japanese leader who spoke. These are all Chinese and Korean and well-known about the situation of North Korea. He pointed to Geoje Island on the chart and said, "General. Geoje Island is full of darkness. It is not suitable for the Ming Dynasty warships to navigate. It is very suitable for North Korea's turtle ships to flexibly fight. This is not only the gateway of North Korea's Jeollado, but also the sea barrier of North Korea. As expected, the Korean navy should wait for the fleet of the Celestial Empire near Geoje Island."

Liu Erhe nodded. The Japanese guide's analysis was not wrong. If he were the commander of the Korean navy, he would also make the same choice.

The other generals were deeper. The island of Juji was covered with darkness. Large warships were extremely easy to touch. This was extremely unfavorable for the Ming Navy. However, the Korean Navy was not able to catch them in one go. Otherwise, even if the fleet bypassed Juji Island, the Oriental Navy camp, which was filled with Japanese military forces and naval marines, would not dare to rashly land in the Korean Peninsula. After all, there was a nail in the back. If anyone was guilty, he would not dare to fight the decisive battle on the Korean Peninsula with all his might.

"Sir General. Have you sent ships and some small and medium-sized ships to test it?" asked a Qianhu official.

"No." The Japanese guide frowned and shook his head. People were always eager to try when fighting against North Korea. North Korea and Japan were enemies. There were countless wars between the two islands. The fishermen on both sides also broke out from time to time. Every family had blood debts. Everyone had evil hatred: "The turtle ships of the Korean navy were very powerful. They knew very well about the waters of Geoje Island. If they only sent small and medium-sized warships and ships, they would inevitably be able to ride them."

Several Ming army generals, Zuo Shen, were the advantages of the Ming navy lies in its unrivalled large gunboats. The advantages of the Korean navy were its flexible turtle ships. With its own disadvantages, it was coupled with the shape factor. Even if you win by chance, you would suffer huge losses.

"If this is the case, you can't go around, right?" A guerrilla complained. The Nanyang navy has been in charge for many years and has never encountered such a difficult naval battle.

Liu Er finally made up his mind and knocked on the picture, "The North Korean navy shrank his son, Geoje Island. We will lead them out. I don't believe them and pass my order. Turn the rudder and sail westward. Bypass Geoje Island and head here!" Liu Er pointed to the Incheon direction of the North Korean naval chart.

Incheon, the west coast of Korea was interrupted, only a hundred miles away from the Korean capital Hanjing. You can arrive in one day and one night. Liu Er's target was on the surface. He then entered Hanjing through Incheon. His real purpose was to seduce the Korean navy to go to sea to fight. Liu Er did not believe that the Korean navy would dare to urge Juji when the royal city was in danger. If this was the case, Liu Er didn't need to deal with it. Facing intimidation, he could not wait until the North Korean king who was serving the king was sent to the king. It would be enough that all the generals and subordinates of the North Korean division were killed.

The fleet began to turn the rudder and head northwest. Liu Er led a group of generals out of the cabin and watched the sea of ​​Fubo thousands of miles along the boat. After passing by Juji Island, he entered the Beiyang. On the east side is the Korean Peninsula. There is the real use of it.

More than 100 Korean warships of various types at the entrance of Juji Island were parked on the uninhabited outer island. Most of the Korean navy were small and medium-sized warships. Therefore, they were not afraid of being on the beach of Yuge. The temporary camp tent was built. Dayuanjun Li Xian and several naval commanders were investigating the camp. The Ming army's navy was about to arrive. The navy's people still had a short time to rest on the land. After raising their spirits, they would fight to the decisive battle near this dark island.

According to Li Xian's idea, the Ming army could reach Japan in the ocean of thousands of miles. Then most of their warships should be large pointed warships, such as warships with powerful power and invincible power. The only disadvantage is that they cannot sail in the sea. Otherwise, once the pointed hull touches the stones on the seabed, it is very likely to be in danger of capsizing. With his own strength and weakness, Li Xian led the Korean navy to Juji Island without hesitation to set up defenses and wait for a decisive battle with the Ming army.

A shadow of a boat appeared in the sea and sky. Li Xian put his hand on his forehead to cover the scorching sun in front of him, squinting his eyes and looking at the distance. Gradually, a small sea boat appeared in his eyes. This was the North Korean navy's whistle. It must have been because he discovered the movements of the Ming army and came back to report. Li Xian was shocked and said to himself: "Can the Ming army have arrived outside the island?"

The hull of the whistle ship is light and supports a sail. There are seven or eight strong men rowing below. Under the influence of wind and manpower, they quickly approach the coast.

"Dayuanjun, it's not good." The whistleboat rushed to the beach. A whistleboat jumped out of the boat in a hurry and ran towards Li Xian, deep and shallow, leaving footprints on the beach.

Li Xian frowned. An unknown premature cold came out. He asked quickly: "What's going on?"

The whistleman took a breath and hammered his chest: "The Ming army turned. They drove northwest. The Ming army's ship was very large. The largest ship was eighty feet long. Two were covered with artillery. Hundreds of ships. There was no end to the sea level that was covered."

Li Xian took a deep breath. This was a beach that was unobstructed. Many soldiers surrounded him. After listening to the description of the whistleman, they couldn't help but feel trembling. The eighty-foot-long ship. They had never seen it. The hull of the largest turtle ship of the North Korean navy was only seven or eight feet long. If this really happened, the Ming ship had to hit the river in the middle and not collided. The waves that were solely drawn were enough to overturn the North Korean warship.

"Bastard!" Li Xian kicked the whistleman in his heart. This bastard was simply shaking the morale of the army: "What are they doing northwest?"

The whistleman staggered on the beach, covering his heart and grinning. After a while, Qiqi Ai Ai said, "The villain doesn't know. The villain has ordered another whistleman to follow him."

Li Xian was manic and walked into the tent with several naval commanders behind his hands. The northwest direction was Quanzhou Road. Going up a little further, it was the royal city of Hanjing. If this huge navy landed near Hanjing and then headed towards Hanjing, it would be a great disaster for him, Li Xian.

"Dayuanjun, are we going to pursue the Ming Navy?" A navy commander seemed to have thought of this level. Once Ming's goal was to go straight to Hanjing. If the Korean navy huddled on Juji Island did not take any action, the king would definitely be punished. But the crime of death.

"Wait a little longer. Perhaps it was because the Ming navy wanted the snake to come out of the cave. The temptations left Juji and went out to fight to the sea." Li Xian shook his head and once he went out of the sea, the North Korean navy had no advantage. He still had some luck in his heart.

Just when Li Xian was hesitating, the Nanyang Navy had already advanced by the wind. Two days later, appeared at Incheon Port. Seventy large gunboats bombed the port without hesitation. Other ships launched attacks on the large and small fishing boats and merchant ships anchored at the port. It took only half a day to complete it.

Sinking into a sea of ​​fire, the shrill crying sounded throughout the sky.

Then the Nanyang Navy Team began to land on a small boat and quickly controlled this important port that was less than a hundred miles from Hanjing.

The news reached Hanjing. The Chaotian King's Court suddenly became a scattered vegetable market. Some people fought resolutely, some were invited to surrender and avoid the war, and some were complaining that the Manchu reinforcements were delayed. Of course, there were also many people who impeached Dayuanjun Li Xian to avoid the war.

North Korean King Lee's face was as white as earth. Facing His Highness's various officials were running around and shouting. He was angry and impeached and shivered, and could not speak. Those officials who had been very utterly speaking a few days ago, who had been very ruthless in the Ming army disappeared all of a sudden. They all turned into turtles with their heads.

"King. Dayuanjun Li Xian brought the navy to meet the enemy on Juji Island. Why did the Ming army's navy appear in Incheon? Why did Li Xian's navy not dare to intercept? Li Xian was trusted by the king and appointed three navy commanders to command the position of the emperor. But he did not repay the mercy of the emperor. He feared the enemy to avoid war. Do you want to make a mistake?" Fenglinjun Li Chao stood up at this time and fought back. At that time, he supported the expulsion of the Ming envoy. If the king held him accountable at this moment, he could not bear it. Therefore, the best way was to divert the conflict and put the shit basin on Li Xian's head to expel the Ming envoy. In order to cause the expulsion of the Ming envoy, there was no mistake in the expulsion of the Ming envoy. The powerful Korean navy did not dare to fight in Li Xian's hands. He watched the Ming envoy bypass Juji Island and raid Incheon and threaten Hanjing.

Li didn't know how good it was. He only knew that Ming was a hundred miles away. He could only take a day and a night to get troops under the capital of Han. At that time, the three hundred years of Li's dynasty were destroyed.

Li Chao was indifferent to the king Li Wuxing. His eyes were filled with viciousness. There were two factions in the entire King of Korea. One was the Shao Lun Sect led by his Fengjun. Their opponent was the important pillar of the Lao Lun Sect. Isn’t this a great opportunity to get rid of Li Xian? Li Chao was silent for a moment and bowed and said, “Great King. Li Xian has an elite army. Before he fought with the Ming Navy, he indulged the enemy and broke into the Korean abdomen. Such a sinister intention was not to have any collusion with the Ming army. When the Ming envoy entered Hanjing, Da Yuanjun vigorously proposed to make a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. When the Ming envoy left, he personally went out of the city to try to stay. Isn’t this the ironclad evidence of Da Yuanjun collusion with the Ming people? Even if the king is sage, destiny and martial, he is loved by the people, he will not be wary of villains’ rebellion.”

This sentence hit Li's key point. No king allowed anyone to rebel. Even if it was possible, such a thing must be strangled in the cradle. Li Weiwei paused and suddenly remembered the thought of Li Xian's persuasion when the Ming envoy entered Hanjing at that time. When the Ming envoy left Hanjing, Xian "fallen sick" and resigned at this time. Now he led the navy to fight the Ming navy. However, he kept huddling on Juji Island and let the Ming army go north. No, it would not make people suspicious.

Li's hesitation shocked Li's spirit. The time to beat the dog in the water was coming: "The King. I heard that the Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan colluded with the Ming Dynasty and forced the Japanese Emperor to abdicate. Now Emperor Lingyuan has been detained by the Ming army to the capital prison. Is the act of the Oeong-jun to do the Tokugawa Shogunate? "

Li's face changed and said, "If this is true, what should Feng Linjun thinks should be dealt with?"

A vicious grin smile appeared on Li Xian's face. Then he disappeared in a flash: "Even if Dayuanjun has no intention of rebellion, he would have misunderstood the opportunity to put King Yu Gu's serious crime. Now the Ming army is within a hundred miles. If the king wants all the troops who serve the king to arrive, he should immediately arrest Dayuanjun's family and behead him in the street and show his head in public. He also sent the powerful ministers to arrest Li Xian and take back military power. In this way, the county magistrates and governors of various departments realized that the king's edict was not a joke. He would definitely work hard to gather in the Han capital to protect the king."

Li nodded in a daze, then waved his hand and said, "The Lord is not at fault on weekdays. If he killed his family at will, I'm afraid..."

"King, if you want to break, you will be in trouble." Li Chao said with all his might.

This matter involves royal power and ancestral temples. Li finally nodded in response to such false charges: "Leave this matter to you."

"Master, no." This time, the leader of the government was the old sect of Jin Daochang, a famous old sect in Wang Tingli: "If the king's army has arrived in Gyeonggi Province today. Besides, our dynasty has served the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years. It has no time to say anything. The Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty has re-created grace. Since its inception, it has never been heard of. (The three major campaigns of Wanli to Korea helped North Korea resist Toyota Hsu's invasion.) The so-called righteousness of King Xuanzu is the king and minister. The kindness of father and son is the true words of sincere and painful words. Now that the Ming Dynasty is back, it is a good opportunity for the Korean country to return to the lost path and engage in the Ming Dynasty. How can the king easily believe Fenglin's words and seek far away, and repay hatred for the Qing Dynasty. Li Xian, the king of Dayuan, has always been loyal. Geng Geng. He will not do anything rebellious. I am willing to use the head to guarantee it."

Li Moran said nothing. When the Qing Dynasty invaded North Korea and forced North Korea to be its vassals, Li was sent to Shengjing to conquer the Qing Dynasty and had hatred for the Qing Dynasty. More than that. Lao Lun faction has always insisted on the Ming Dynasty as the truth. He, Li, did not want to do so. After all, he, was a vassal for the Ming Dynasty for three years. The Ming Dynasty was also good to North Korea now, but he was in a position to serve the Qing Dynasty, which even the North Korean country sneered as a barbarian. Even so, Li still firmly believed in the invincibility of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. In order to protect the royal power, he could only do so.

"Hmph! The reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty will arrive sooner or later. Now North Korea has started a war with the Ming Dynasty. The arrows are on the strings. Lord Jin is here to confuse the public. Are you the inner supporter of the Ming Dynasty and Dayuanjun? What benefits did the Ming Dynasty give you?" Fenglinjun Li Xian glared at Jin Daochang in anger.

"Okay, Feng Linjun. Go down." Li waved his hand and asked Feng Linjun to retreat.

Feng Linjun left Changde Palace and received the imperial edict. He immediately ordered a group of confidants to go straight to Dayuanjun's mansion. He locked the men and women in the mansion and dragged them to behead them for public display. The king allowed this matter. Although he later disturbed Jin Daochang, the king did not rebel. As long as Li Xian was eliminated, Li Chao was such a great opportunity to cover the sky in the king's court. How could he miss it?

………………………………………………………………

Lee Hsien on Geoji Island was waiting for the news from the whistle. When he heard the Ming army captured Incheon, he was so scared that he almost didn't raise his mouthful of phlegm. Incheon is a port city in Gyeonggi Province. It is very close to Hanjing. If Ming took advantage of the situation to attack Hanjing, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, his responsibilities will never be able to escape. As for this matter, there is no so-called strategy. Lee Hsien immediately ordered that all the navy go north to Incheon. In his heart, he silently prayed that the Ming army would not attack Hanjing. No

I can't afford to blame this.

The turtle ship responded quickly and sailed northwest along the coastline. Both the ship and the turtle ship were inshore warships, especially the turtle ships. Because they had no sails, they could only rely on the strong man in the ship to row the boat. Therefore, the ship was extremely slow. It took two days to walk across the coast of Jeolla Road and enter the sea area of ​​Chungcheong Road.

Finally, Li Xian finally felt relieved because he saw hundreds of warships of different sizes lined up in the northern waters of Chungcheong Road. Countless sun and moon flags were clamoring under the sea breeze.

After capturing Incheon, the Nanyang Navy did not make any moves to attack Hanjing. Instead, after a brief rest, quickly formed a formation here, waiting for the rescued North Korean navy to take the bait.

Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief. If the Ming army was not fighting Hanjing, there would be more to recover. But a new problem arose first. Now what was blocking him was an extremely powerful fleet. Countless large ships exposed their humps. The deck was full of Ming soldiers holding muzzles along the ship.

Running can't run. The turtle ship, as the name suggests, of course, it runs similar to the turtle. It reaches the armor on its entire body, and also sacrifices its speed. For those ships, I'm afraid it can't run away from the Ming army's large ships. Since that's the case, then start fighting.

Li Xian stood at the bow of a ship, staring at the Ming ship that was approaching rapidly, trying to find the flaws of the Ming Navy. But he was soon disappointed. The strength of the two sides was too disparate. If he was guarding the waters of Juji Island, which were full of secret vision, Li Xian asked himself that he could have a fight. But in this unobstructed deep sea area, this kind of fighting ship would just die.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..." The large Ming army warships that approached fired. Countless flames shone from the dark hull. Then iron balls hit the North Korean fleet like hail. A ship hit. The hull began to slant.

"Retaliation!" Li Xian issued a helpless order. It was indeed helpless. The Korean navy had only a few cannons, mainly small boats. Most of them were artillery from the period of Li Sun-sen a hundred years ago. Now they were covered in traces. Most of them were squins. Before they could be loaded with gunpowder, another wave of artillery in the Ming army exploded like raindrops. A hundred warships were facing the ship. The huge ships were three rows of muzzles on the body. It was enough to make the Korean sailors frightened.

A cannon hit a turtle ship. The turtle ship's flat back is wrapped in hardwood and iron. It has excellent stability and its armor is quite strong. It is like this. It is also a hole in the back of the shell. The hull is blown down. The sea water quickly pours back into the hole. The hard armor immediately turns into a coffin. The people in the turtle are crying for help and keep sinking.

Immediately afterwards, a ship began to flee regardless of its formation. Li Xian was so angry that he almost fell into the sea. If he continued to fight like this, he would have to die. Although the offshore warship encountered a hundred giant warships, it would be very likely to retreat to nearby islands and enter shallow water. But once a ship fled, the entire fleet would want to have any way to survive.

Soon, more Ming warships rushed over and the artillery fire became more dense. The originally undulating sea surface turned into Rakshasa's prison. Fired ships and turtle ships were everywhere. More warships began to join the ranks of fleeing. The Korean navy harbored Li Sun-sen's Fu Yin for a hundred years. It was possible to deal with pirates and Japanese pirates. However, it was the first time to fight such a large-scale giant warship, and the result was imagined.

The Ming army's ships began to move. Under the cover of the large ship, they quickly ** the messy formation of the Korean navy. Then they used muskets to shoot...

"What about Daewon-kun? The Jeolla-do Naval Master's Shipman has escaped on the boat." A sailor ran onto the deck in panic, looking at Li Xian with his eyes curled up. He only hoped that Li Xian would give his order to retreat.

"Bastard!" The artillery fire became more and more dense. The artillery bombed into the sea water near the main ship. Li Xian was swaying from side to side on the ship, as if he had lost control: "Don't retreat!"

Li Xianjie yelled in a stern manner. The navy is his political life. Once the navy is finished, he will be finished.

Liu Er stood on the deck of the far deck several feet high. The corner showed a smile on the Korean navy, but that's the case. He turned around and was not very interested in this one-sided battle situation. It's a big storm here. It's better to go back to the cabin to rest. He pointed to a messenger: "Send the order. The whole ship should not let a thief escape."

……………………………………………………

A few days later, the Nanyang Navy camp, which annihilated the Korean Navy in one fell swoop, returned to Incheon, waiting for the Dongyang Water full of Japanese soldiers to come. Four thousand Korean Navy soldiers became prisoners. Daewon Jun Lee Hsin was also taken to a residence with broken arms. This was the temporary garrison of the Nanyang Navy.

Liu Er looked at Li Xian and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was still quite interested in this North Korean commander. He could play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. He chose to fight against the Ming Navy on the hidden Juji Island. If it weren't for the fatal weakness of the Korean Navy, Liu Er would have no choice but to Li Xian.

"Are you Li Xian?" Liu Er narrowed his eyes and walked with interest around Li Xian, who was bound, with interest: "Would you like to surrender? If you surrender, I may be able to give you a:-Let's Life."

Li Xian hummed and didn't answer. Now that he is at this point, there is nothing to say.

Liu Er sat back on the master's chair on the main seat, crossed his legs and smiled, "You are not afraid of death. Good birds choose trees to live on, and good ministers choose masters to work. Have you never heard of this sentence?"

Li Xian's mouth twitched and shook his head and said, "I am a Korean royal family. I just want to die. Otherwise, how can I repay the king's kindness to me. General. I will be happy with you. I am convinced."

Liu Er smiled coldly and raised his eyebrows and said, "The king regards his ministers as his brothers and feet. Then the minister regards his ministers as his heart; the king regards his ministers as grass, and the ministers regards his king as enemies. This is a statement I gave to you. Come*. Bring that person up."

Liu Er studied a lot of books at night school two years ago. Now he speaks literally and is very gentle. Although sometimes the words are not meaningful, it always makes people laugh. Today's sentence is right.

In a moment, a North Korean was taken in. When he saw Li Xian for the first time, he was already in tears: "Dayuanjun..."

Li Xian turned around and saw that this person was his family member: "Jin Jiu. What's wrong?"

"Dayuanjun. The king issued an edict to kill all the families of Dayuanjun..."

"Where is Li Zhi? Where is he?" Li Zhi was Li Xian's only son. He was only seven years old at this time.
