Chapter 382 Great changes in North Korea

On the Ming side, Li Zhiqi is a big black ship, Zheng Zhilong is good at fire ships, and Xiyi is a fast ship and cannon. As far as ship artillery is concerned, Xiyi is better, but he and Zheng Zhilong are fighting on their own. They are better because they have more people and more ships. Even if they suffer losses, they can make up for it in time, so they can be regarded as a tripartite force.

It's just a pity that he was eliminated from the competition before.

At this time, his words made Li Jinlei of the North Korean Navy speechless, and also made the Dongjiang generals who were watching the show look at him with admiration. After all, this big pirate knows more about things on the sea!

Li Zhiqi watched the modified big black boat being launched into the water, and he was in a happy mood. Just as he was waiting for further instructions, the soldier responsible for the lookout on the island shouted loudly, reporting that on the distant sea, there were three or four bow boats coming from the direction of North Korea. Pi Dao came over.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fuzou and others stopped caring about the big black ship and ordered a warning on the shore and dock. One of the warships with one bow sailed out from the dock and headed towards the ship with three bows.

Not long after, the warship signaled safety, which immediately made the people on the shore feel relieved. But they were all a little strange. Jianlu was heading to the capital of Joseon. What was going on with the three-prow warship that came over now?

When the three-bowed boat approached the dock and could clearly see the expressions of the people on board, the people on the shore were suddenly a little surprised. I saw that all those people were frightened and had no energy at all.

When Xu Fuzou and Chen Jisheng met, they estimated that something unexpected had happened in North Korea. They immediately strode onto the pier, ready to ask about the situation.

The first person to jump off the boat was one they all knew. He was the commander-in-chief Li Deming who had stabbed himself on the island in order to provoke Governor Denglai to rescue North Korea. It is said that after he recovered from his injuries and returned home, he was promoted and became a guerrilla.

What surprised the people on the shore was that when Li Deming jumped out of the boat, he staggered and almost fell. This was totally inappropriate!

After Li Deming stabilized his body, he almost ran towards the Ming army general. Before he could get close, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a sad face and cried: "North Korea is over, North Korea is over." It’s over…”

At this time, the news was like thunder. Chen Jisheng, Xu Fuzuo and others rushed out and asked loudly: "What's going on?"

"Tell me, what happened in North Korea? Namhan Mountain City has stockpiled enough supplies for your king to hold on for half a year. How could this happen?"

"..."

Facing a series of questions, it took a while before Li Deming finally answered their questions clearly.

It turned out that after the Jianlu soldiers took over the capital of the Joseon Dynasty, Injo led the civil and military ministers and their families and people to move to Namhan Mountain City overnight, preparing to rely on the natural dangers to hold on.

Unexpectedly, Jin Liu, who had been resolute in leading the battle, suddenly changed his position for some unknown reason when he saw the slave chief Taiji personally leading the army and there were so many troops. There was a rebellion in the mountain city, and the city gate was opened and Jianlu was brought in.

Injo was shocked when he heard the news. He knew that he would be miserable if he fell into the hands of Lord Gwanghae. So, he burned the palace and burned himself and all his concubines inside. Before his death, he ordered the Korean soldiers and civilians to resist Jianlu and report to the heaven to avenge him.

Jianlu accomplished the most difficult strategic goal of the Korean War with almost no effort. He also arrested those officials who supported Injo and supported Lord Gwanghae to return to power.

This news shocked Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuzuo. They quickly sent someone to notify the captain of the Imperial Guard who was waiting for news on the island. Faintly, they felt that this accident had affected Governor Denglai's plan.

What surprised them even more was that Li Deming estimated that Jianlu was not satisfied with this. When they fled to Pidao, they found that Jianlu and Guanghaijun's people were collecting ships everywhere, seemingly to plot against the Pidao Ming army.

If it was just Jianlu who came to attack Pidao, there would be basically no threat; if Injo was threatened and cooperated with Jianlu to attack Pidao, there would not be much of a threat, because the North Korean navy would definitely not be able to work hard. In the original history, Jianlu did ask for this, but Injo found reasons to refuse and did not cooperate at all.

But now, Lord Gwanghae, who was rescued by Jianlu, is in power in North Korea. He will definitely cooperate with Jianlu fully, so the danger is different.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately remembered that Master Zhongcheng had ordered Chen Jisheng to ask for the North Korean Navy in advance. Could it be that they expected this scene? Think about it, the situation is a bit serious. The island no longer had the previous atmosphere, and it immediately became tense. Only Li Zhiqi remained the same, he didn't seem to take it seriously, he was just scolding the sailors and training his big black boat.

As soon as Captain Jinyi received the news, he hurriedly left on a speedboat. Two days later, they arrived at Shicheng Island and reported to Governor Denglai.

Lu Xiangsheng was also shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect North Korea to collapse so quickly. As soon as the Jianlu arrived, the natural barrier was broken. This speed was really amazing!

He immediately rushed to Pi Island to learn personally about Jianlu's movements. If Jianlu returned to the army immediately, the originally set strategic goals would not be implemented and would also lose their meaning.

This news was also reported to Emperor Chongzhen by Wei Mulan through the chat group, leaving Emperor Chongzhen speechless. I am really not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but I am afraid of opponents who are like pigs. There was warning in advance and supplies were hoarded, but in the end they failed to guard against the mole and were captured by the Jianlu so quickly.

In the original history, when Dan Jianlu went to attack the capital of Joseon, Injo also led his people to move to Namhan Mountain City overnight. But that time, he persisted in Namhan Mountain City for forty-seven days, and finally surrendered due to lack of supplies in the city and other reasons. However, he did not persist until the end, because Emperor Chongzhen at the time also sent a navy to rescue, but he failed to persist.

The previous plan was likely to be in vain. Emperor Chongzhen notified Sun Chengzong of the news while convening a high-level military meeting to discuss the changes.

However, the conclusion is actually nothing special. We can only make a decision by looking at the further movements of the rebels in North Korea.

At this time, Jianlu was cooperating with Lord Gwanghae's troops to take over the entire territory of North Korea. Huang Taiji himself was enshrined in the royal capital by Lord Guanghai like the Supreme Emperor. At the same time, Lord Gwanghae wielded his butcher knife and searched and arrested those who killed Injo, as well as those who despised barbarians and supported the Celestial Kingdom. He even collected books from all over the country that called Jianlu barbarians and disrespected Jianlu. , all burned in front of Jianlu to show Lord Guanghai’s loyalty.
