In this era, there was no concept of anti-landing operations at all. Even if there are examples of preventing pirates from landing on the coast, they are far from being comparable to large-scale landings of regular troops. Therefore, it cannot be blamed that the North Korean soldiers were frightened and fled as soon as they saw the mighty Ming Dynasty fleet on the sea.

Among the troops stationed in Incheon, there were naturally Manchu soldiers, about five hundred. It is no problem for these Manchu and Qing soldiers to be stationed here to deter the North Korean pirates and rebels. But when they saw the densely packed Ming troops coming off the ship, their performance was almost the same as that of the North Korean soldiers.

So, on the road to Seoul, there were thousands of people, without any structure or structure, all running in a race.

Among them, there were Korean soldiers wearing bamboo hats and Manchu soldiers with pointed heads, all running around. Those who were lagging behind, no matter who they were, began to abandon their armor and lose weight as they ran, trying to surpass their companions.

The soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and the Korean soldiers, at this time, it was you who were among you, and you among me, who only wanted to escape from Incheon as soon as possible.

If in the past, North Korean soldiers would have had the courage to compete with the Manchu adults. If possible, they would try to stay away to avoid being sent in vain; and if in the past, Manchu soldiers would never He would allow North Korean soldiers to compete with him, and he would not allow himself to eat the ashes of North Korean soldiers.

However, at this time, none of them cared about this, and they all ran in harmony. Just like when a disaster strikes, whether they are tigers, lions, rabbits or sheep, they all become brothers and sisters and flee together in a hurry.

On both sides of the road are patches of grain fields.

In the fields, groups of North Korean soldiers were patrolling, and even North Korean officials were shouting: "Your Highness strictly decrees that no loss of food will be allowed before the harvest. Otherwise, if something happens to me, you bitches will also I can't run away. Keep your spirits up and watch carefully, let alone guard yourself..."

"Sir, there's something going on!" a soldier quickly reminded.

The movement was indeed a bit loud, and the rumble of horse hooves came out from the end of the line of sight.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to be lazy?" The North Korean official turned his head and looked at it, and shouted loudly: "The Qing army is here, please stay alert, otherwise you will be careful..."

"Sir, something doesn't seem right!" A soldier reminded again.

The North Korean official didn't even look at it, and shouted sternly: "What's wrong? Only the Qing army has horses here, so I paid close attention..."

"No, sir, it's really wrong. See for yourself, sir!"

The North Korean officials saw the surprised expressions on the faces of these subordinates, so they turned their heads to look curiously, only to see dozens of fast horses galloping towards them on the official road. He was not wrong, the riders on the horses were indeed Qing military lords, but the problem was that these Qing military lords were all so frightened that they galloped past without even looking at them...

"Sir, how do you feel...how do you feel like a defeated soldier?"

They were all familiar with the situation of the Manchu and Qing military lords who had just passed by at high speed, and they felt that they were all right.

"Abandoning armor?" Such a thought also flashed through the minds of North Korean officials.

But they were confused. In the past few years, all the Qing military men had become kings and hegemons in the land of Korea. They fought against the rebels and had to do something secretly. How could this situation happen now? happened?

"Could it be a tsunami coming from the direction of Incheon?" Someone speculated.

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted: "Is it the heavenly army?"

The army of the Celestial Kingdom, also known as the Ming Army, is called the Heavenly Army on the North Korean side.

This shout immediately startled everyone.

At this moment, I saw billowing dust in the distance of the official road, and a spectacular scene appeared.

While they were stunned, they got the news that when countless heavenly troops landed in Inchon, these people also dispersed and ran away. Of course, there were some soldiers with joy on their faces, and instead of running to Seoul, they scattered in all directions.

If someone could pay attention at this time, they would also find some North Korean soldiers scattered in the fields, waving their swords and the like, taking the opportunity to collect some food.

The news that the Ming army landed in Inchon and came to attack Seoul spread at an extremely fast speed in a short period of time, although more and more soldiers fled.

In the Seoul Palace, Dorgon was holding a banquet at this time. In addition to Duduo and Azig, there were also senior generals under them, as well as Lord Guanghai and his senior officials.

For them, it is rare for Dorgon to hold a banquet, and with Dorgon's status, no one dares not to come. Although it was not as rich and lively as I remembered, compared to the past few years, this banquet was quite good. There were even Manchu women dancing in the middle of the field.

Dorgon was sitting on the main seat. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and waved, signaling the dancers to leave. He stood up with a wine glass and said with a smile: "Starting from tomorrow, we will harvest food. Bless the food in advance." Let’s have a great harvest!”

When others saw it, they immediately stood up and raised their wine glasses to celebrate tomorrow's harvest.

"Thanks to the master's wisdom, the slaves will never have to go hungry again!" The Manchu leader with a white flag happily complimented.

"Under the governance of His Highness, our North Korea will surely prosper and continue to prosper!" Wu Daji took the lead in flattering on behalf of North Korean officials.

…

Listening to these words of flattery to Dorgon, Duduo felt a little excited. He couldn't help himself and drank the wine in the glass. Then he patted his chest and said with a smile: "We have gathered the northern troops in Pyongyang, and we can always resist the Ming army." After a while, when the grain is harvested, my Qing warriors will be able to eat and drink enough. At that time, Ming Gou can just let his horse come over, but I, Duduo, will be the first to rush forward and kill them!"

"Yes, Mr. Baylor is right. In the past few years, it's not that our fighting power has been incompetent, it's entirely because of the lack of food and grass. Otherwise, where would it be the Mingguo's turn to be arrogant?" While he was drinking happily, there was a full man with a white flag. Leader Qing echoed loudly.

The people of Zhengbai Banner were not willing to lag behind and said loudly: "Master, this slave is willing to be the vanguard and fight back to Liaodong!"

"Yes, fight back to Liaodong!"

"Go back to Liaodong!"

"..."

At this time, the news of the fall of Liaodong was confirmed by the upper management of the Qing Dynasty. They couldn't believe that Liaodong perished so quickly. After discussing in private, they felt that there was still trouble because of lack of food. Because of this, now that they are about to have food, their confidence has increased again.

When Duduo heard this, his heart suddenly moved. He immediately threw the wine glass on the table, strode to the middle of the venue, and then said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, listen to me!"

No one dared not give him face, and at the same time, they were all curious and wanted to know what he wanted to say in such a formation. Even Dorgon is a little curious.

When Duduo saw that the scene was quiet, he clasped his fists and said loudly to Dorgon: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. Brother, you are the emperor's younger brother, and you are the legitimate lord of our Qing Dynasty. I sincerely invite you, Your Highness. Ascending the throne as emperor will boost the morale of our Qing Dynasty. If the Ming army dares to invade, they will be defeated!"

If you have enough food to eat, your morale will be improved a lot. Then there will be an emperor in the Qing Dynasty, which will definitely improve your morale. This is indeed a point that can be used to resist the Ming army.

Dorgon did not refuse immediately this time, but was thinking deeply. As soon as the others saw it, they immediately followed suit and advised Dorgon to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!

"Your Highness, what Lord Baylor said is absolutely true. A country cannot live without a king for a day!"

"His Royal Highness has ascended the throne, his name is justified, he obeys the will of God, and he wins the hearts of the people!"

"..."

Even the confused Guanghaijun joined the ranks. For him, it would be better for Dorgon to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor than the barbaric Dodo and the brain-dead Azig.

Suddenly, the voices in the palace supporting Dorgon's ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor reached a climax.

The scene was so lively that even Dorgon, who had always been calm, was moved. He stood up and glanced at the eager faces in front of him. After thinking about it, he felt that no matter whether he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor or not, the Ming army would eventually attack North Korea. In this case, ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor actually didn't have much scruples, and it could also greatly boost the morale of the Qing soldiers.

With this in mind, he stretched out his hand to signal, and immediately, the hall became quiet. Everyone stared at Dorgon with expectations in their eyes. If Dorgon ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, these people will all have merit, and rewards will definitely be indispensable.

Dorgon had made up his mind, took a deep breath, and was about to speak when suddenly there was a lot of movement and loud noise outside.

Suddenly, the movement from outside broke the grand and exciting atmosphere that was building up in the hall. The words Dorgon hadn't spoken yet were stuck in his throat.

When Dodo saw Dorgon turning his head to look outside, he couldn't help but get very angry. He turned around and shouted loudly: "Which bastard is so impatient!"

Others were also very annoyed. Even if it was a big deal, don’t bother me at this time! They all turned their heads and looked outside, each of them looking a little unhappy.

What they didn't expect was that the noise outside became louder and louder, and then a Qing general almost rolled around the screen wall and rushed into the hall.

Everyone in the palace basically recognized this person as the commander of the royal palace's rotating guards, who was responsible for guarding the palace gate. He was so panicked. Could it be that something big had happened?

Before they could think of anything, the guard commander rushed into the hall. However, due to panic, when he entered the hall door, he tripped over the threshold and threw himself in, almost throwing himself to the ground.

When Dorgon saw this, he felt a thump in his heart and had a vague feeling of badness. Regardless of his dignity, he strode forward and asked sternly: "What happened?"

He believed that if it wasn't a big deal, his cronies wouldn't be so panicked!

The man fell to the ground and didn't care. He just lay down and loudly reported in a panicked and urgent tone: "Master... Master, the Ming Army... the Ming Army is here..."

"What?" Duduo heard this and immediately asked sharply: "The Pyongyang defenders were vulnerable again and failed to stop the Ming army?"

Judging from previous military intelligence reports, at this time, the Ming army passing through the Yalu River from Liaodong should have arrived in the Pyongyang area. Seoul's plan is to use the northern troops to use the big city of Pyongyang to resist the Ming army for a few days! For this reason, preparations for defense began early in the morning. Logically speaking, it was impossible to be defeated by the Ming army.

Hearing Duduo's question, the people present were basically startled, and they all thought that this must be the case, otherwise they wouldn't be so panicked!

However, just when they thought of this, they heard the guard commander lying on the ground reply in panic: "No... no, the Ming army landed at the Incheon Protectorate and came from the sea in Incheon..."

"What?" Dorgon was shocked when he heard this. He stepped forward and pulled up the collar of his confidant, and asked sternly, "The Ming army landed from Inchon? How many people and horses, what kind of army, and what is the specific situation?"

Incheon is less than fifty miles away from Seoul, and the army's march is only a day's journey. The Ming army actually came from the sea and landed at this place. This was like a sharp knife, piercing the heart of the Qing Dynasty!

Everyone in the hall was frightened by the news, and some of them were so frightened that they sat down on the ground. Among them, Guanghaijun was included.

"According to reports from the Incheon defenders who fled back, the Ming Dynasty's army numbered at least tens of thousands, and the banner was the New Army of the Ming Dynasty!" The guard commander did not dare to look into Dorgon's eyes, looked down and replied, "On the sea They are all Ming army ships, I don’t know how many more are behind them!”

If Dorgon was given a choice, the enemy he was least willing to choose was the new army of the Ming Dynasty. Although he had not directly dealt with this army, Duduo was ambushed by the new army in Jinpu Town. In Gaizhou, Liaodong, Huang Taiji personally conquered the army and was defeated by the new army. Later, he died at the hands of this new army in Hupiyi. It can be said that this new army is the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when Dorgon heard this, his hand could no longer hold the collar of the guard commander. After letting go, he murmured to himself: "Impossible, this is impossible! How could the new army suddenly appear in Incheon?" What about logging in?"

In the main hall, it was quiet, everyone's face was pale, and they couldn't believe the facts in front of them.

Suddenly, an old voice said with a hint of despair: "I know, I know, the Ming army is building the plank road openly to assassinate Chencang secretly. Yes, that must be the case. The army is constructing the plank road openly to assassinate Chencang secretly..."

In terms of Chinese proficiency, the monarchs and ministers of Joseon were a few steps ahead of the slave chiefs of the Manchu and Qing dynasties. Therefore, Lord Gwanghae easily picked up the cultural allusions of the Central Plains and came to the conclusion with just one mouthful.

When everyone heard this, they all came to their senses, and Duduo shouted angrily: "No wonder Ming Gou has been dragging his feet. It turned out to be to paralyze us. It's a shame we thought Pyongyang could stop Ming Gou for a while! Those Ming Gou, How cunning!”
