"Brothers, sit down!" On the west bank of the Yalu River, a transport ship docked on the shore. A captain smiled and spoke to the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army on the landing site, and then ordered the ship to be opened.

Each of them looked very relaxed, and they didn't have the seriousness of landing on the other side to fight. In fact, it was not only them, but also the soldiers waiting to board the boat on the shore, and the transport ships waiting to dock on the river. They were all relaxed and the order was thus well-organized.

The reason why it is so relaxed is that in addition to the great victory of Liaodong's recovery, the Ming army's navy dominates the Yalu River. In fact, there are no ships on the other side of the Qing Dynasty, so they can only watch the excitement of the Yalu River from afar on the top of Xinyizhou city.

A bunch of transport ships, without the cover of warships, left the shore where Xinyizhou was located, and chose a suitable location to land on the shore. Just as the first Ming army soldier stepped on the east bank of the Yalu River, a fire broke out in Xinyizhou City, and the remnants of the Qing Dynasty set fire to the city, and then fled east in a hurry.

Seeing this situation, the Ming army soldiers who landed ashore must not be able to catch up, so they couldn't help but complain loudly: "His grandma, aren't these Qing Dynasty known as invincible in the field? Don't they claim to be the Qing warriors? What's going on? They just ran away with their tails in their arms. What kind of warriors are they?"

Some of the Ming soldiers who came ashore immediately sighed, looked back at the other side of the Yalu River, muttered to see the place where Shuaiqi was, "The Governor-General doesn't know what he thought. He could have stopped the Qing Dynasty in Xinyizhou, but he came here with great fanfare. It would be strange if he didn't scare them away!"

After he said this, no one dared to agree. Instead, someone smiled and made another statement and said, "Haha, why do I feel that showing off my power like this is so scary that the remnants of the Qing Dynasty ran away from hearing the news, it is also very good!"

And a general flag who came to the back landed later, heard their words and scolded the person who was complaining in front: "You can guess what the Governor thinks is strange! Do your part well and look back at how we destroyed these remnants of the Qing Dynasty under the command of the Governor!"

Regarding the old leader, Lu Xiangsheng's prestige is beyond doubt in the Dongjiang Army. Therefore, this soldier just said casually and was scolded by Shangguan and quickly laughed.

"Let's go, go, go put out the fire!" The general flag shouted loudly, and without waiting for the subsequent army to assemble, they shouted to leave. Today's Dongjiang Army's psychological advantage over the Qing Dynasty was as before as the Qing Dynasty's psychological advantage over the Dongjiang Army.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng on the west bank had seen this scene through a telescope, and ordered Wei Mulan, who had been promoted to the Jinyiwei family, and said, "Report to the emperor, we say that our army has begun to cross the river, and the remnants of the Qing Dynasty on the other side did not dare to fight, and they have set fire to escape!"

Hearing this, Wei Mulan immediately agreed and entered the chat group to report.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't wait, but turned to look at another young man beside him and said, "General Cao, it's time for your new army to cross the river next!"

This General Cao was not Cao Wenzhao, but Cao Bianjiao. Now he has realized his dream that year and is at the same level as Wu Sangui. It can even be said that it was Wu Sangui's turn to envy him. After all, although he is the same general, Cao Bianjiao's hands are the most capable army of the Ming Dynasty, which is almost equivalent to the emperor's personal army. This is far from comparable to the army of the General Datong.

When Cao Bianjiao heard Governor Lu's order, he smiled and agreed easily: "This kind of battle is really hard to be excited. If only a tough battle came!"

The young man was eager to sacrifice his head and shed his blood. He said so casually, but unexpectedly, it attracted Lu Xiangsheng's face and listened to his lesson: "You are now the general of a party, how can you have such an idea? The best strategy is to defeat others without fighting. Secondly, it is to crush the enemy with strength. The most undesirable thing is tough battles and dangerous battles..."

Cao Bianjiao felt secretly regretful when he heard this. He said that he would not really do this. Unexpectedly, it attracted the bitterness of the Governor. His mouth was really cheap!

So he immediately pleaded sincerely.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng could understand what Cao Bianjiao said just now. After all, he was young. Moreover, he had been with Cao Bianjiao for a long time, and he also understood Cao Bianjiao's ability, and also knew the composition of the new army. There were also military supervisors at all levels, so Cao Bianjiao could not help but be nagging. But as he was older, he seemed to be a little nagging. Just a few words, it would take him much time to say it.

He thought so, Feng Dehua, the eunuch in charge of the military supervisor standing beside him, looked at Cao Bianjiao who was beating and smiling. When the Korean war ended, the new army would be transferred back to the capital. At that time, he would be able to go to the military supervisor to take office. Unexpectedly, he was also the eunuch in charge of the seal!

While Feng Dehua was feeling the thoughts, he suddenly saw Wei Mulan come back to his senses and said to Lu Xiangsheng with a serious expression: "Your Majesty has an order, saying that the pressure on the remnants of the Korean Qing Dynasty is lighter, which makes Dorgon still have fantasies. Therefore, Your Majesty decided to set off from the sea to add some pressure to Dorgon..."

Listening to Wei Mulan telling the emperor's will one by one, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly had a question in his mind. After all, the pressure on the remnants of the Qing Dynasty was also reviewed by the emperor, but now he said that the pressure on the place here was a little less, so there must be something wrong, so he asked this idea.

After hearing this, Wei Mulan nodded and said, "Your Majesty received the news that Dorgon tried to collect all the food before leaving. There was indeed a lot of food, and Your Majesty did not want him to succeed!"

In fact, the original plan was to approach Seoul before the Qing Dynasty's autumn harvest. But according to the emperor's intention, it seemed that Dorgon wanted to harvest in advance, so that he would slow down the action according to the original plan.

This idea was verified, and Lu Xiangsheng immediately agreed and started to act immediately.

The preparations for crossing the river to the other side and starting from the sea are completely different. However, with chat groups, the navy has already received the emperor's will and has come to transport the new army.

The newly prepared new army, escorted by hundreds of transport ships and more than ten warships, finally disappeared from the end of their sight along the Yalu River.

Li Zhiqi, the navy commander in the fleet, looked at the new army talking and laughing on the ship, but he felt a little depressed. The dignified Ming Navy had no naval battle (water battle) to fight and had completely become a transport fleet. Can this still be called a navy?

Thinking of this, he was a little envious of the Fujian Navy, at least he could suppress pirates and the like. The Qing Dynasty was really incompetent, and he didn't even have a navy. It was really useless to watch the army compete for merit!

But for some reason, logically speaking, the Denleigh Navy no longer needs to build warships, but he can still accept new warships. This also shows that the shipyard supplied to the Denleigh Navy has not been closed. Is it because the emperor has other intentions to build so many ships?

In Li Zhiqi's confusion, the fleet advanced day and night along the coastline. After resting and recuperating after the re-activated Pidao, it continued to move forward again, and disappeared from the sight of the Ming army in Pidao again.

In the Seoul Palace in North Korea, Dorgon has never smiled since he learned that Liaodong fell. His face finally looked much better this day. When he talked to Dodo and Ajige, he sometimes smiled on his face.

"It seems that the Ming army is progressing slowly in Liaodong, so it has only gathered by the Yalu River until now. It has not attacked North Korea from the beginning, giving us a chance to breathe!"

When Duoduo heard Dorgon's feelings, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If you want me to tell me, you may be the Emperor of Ming Dynasty no longer cared about North Korea. He wouldn't care about this poor mountain and bad water! He would put the army to the Yalu River and defend Liaodong. Otherwise, why did he not see the emperor's banner on the other side of the shore? He must have gone back!"

It has been a long time since this happened. Not only did the other side not have the emperor's banner, but the Ming army began to gather. We were very worried at first, but seeing the Ming army's actions was so cumbersome that we felt relieved. Because they could see that the Ming army had no intention of invading North Korea in one fell swoop.

Hearing Dodo's words, Dorgon was not so optimistic: "The Ming Dynasty cannot be unworried on the North Korean side. When Japan occupied North Korea, Ming Dynasty sent troops. Now we occupy this place, and North Korea is mainly based on our Qing Dynasty. Even if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is for the sake of face, he will definitely solve the North Korean issue. But now he has missed the best opportunity and given us time to prepare. When Ming attacks again, we have no more worries!"

An important factor restricting the Qing Dynasty's combat effectiveness has always been the shortage of food and supplies. This is the same as North Korea or Liaodong. Hungryness has almost become the norm for the Qing warriors.

However, without the burden of Liaodong, after the autumn harvest in North Korea, at least the Qing warriors could have enough food. As for the Koreans, it was secondary and they didn't care. According to Dorgon's estimate, even if the Ming army on the Yalu River began to attack North Korea, it was too late. Therefore, he explained that the army's procrastination and ultimately missed the best fighter.

Duoduo patted his chest and said, "So, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is just like that. If he hadn't had strong troops and many supplies in his hands, how could he have destroyed my Qing Dynasty? To be honest, if I went to his seat or not, I would have done better than him!"

After saying that, he saw Dorgon laughing, and he added: "If you go to his position, it would be the best! You must do better than anyone else!"

Azig heard Dodo bragging. Although he knew that this was impossible, he smiled, his situation turned optimistic, and his mood was no longer as frightened at the beginning.

But at this moment, a sudden rush of footsteps came, and a messenger arrived and reported that the Ming army had begun to cross the river. The Xinyizhou garrison felt that he could not defend himself, so he set fire to the city and retreated.

Hearing this news, Dorgon was not anxious at all. He nodded immediately to show that he knew and sent the messenger down calmly. Then, he turned to look at Dodo and Ajige and said, "The Ming army has attacked. Since that's the case, then collect the food in advance according to the plan!"

"Yes, we collect grain in advance and clear the country even if we are firmly in the walls, we may not have to go to Japan to waste the attacking Ming army to death in North Korea!" Duoduo was a little excited and nodded immediately.

After hearing this, Dorgon also showed a hint of expectation in his eyes. This strategy was not unavailable for the rulers of North Korea in the past. The Sui and Tang dynasties were once powerful. When they attacked this side, they were dragged down by this move and the army sent to attack many times. Even the powerful Sui Dynasty paid the price of destroying the country.

However, Dorgon was more rational after all. He no longer thought about it, but began to issue orders and prepare to collect food. This kind of physical work was naturally done by the Koreans. Wu Daji was passed on and the order was given to him.

"Your Highness, if you wait a little longer, you can harvest more food. I've been waiting for so many days. Would it be better to wait a few more days?" Wu Daji suggested to Dorgon with a sad expression.

Dorgon shook his head and said firmly: "You can't wait any longer. The Ming army will be able to attack in a few days!"

"Can't...can't some soldiers be fed first and block the Ming army on the front line?" Wu Daji seemed a little unwilling and said with an idea, "This way you can wait until the food is mature and harvested!"

This time, Dorgon did not speak anymore, and Duoduo had already scolded him loudly: "Shut up, just do as you do, don't be too long-winded!"

After cursing, he couldn't help but add: "If you North Koreans can withstand the Ming army's offensive, you can try it! But can you North Koreans? You guys can't even deal with a rebel, and you still talk about blocking the Ming army!"

From beginning to end, he did not mention that the Qing Dynasty sent troops to block the attack. However, Dorgon sighed in his heart. If he had enough troops in his hand and was not afraid of consumption, he could do this, but...

It was useless to think too much, so he told Wu Daji to prevent the North Korean rebels from causing trouble. The matter of retreat in the rear was handed over to Ajige and re-verified the arrangements. He made preparations, but he did not want to leave North Korea unless he had no choice.

However, he did not expect that the next morning, before he could start the movement, the accident suddenly occurred.

On the beach, only fifty miles away from Seoul, there is a famous place in later generations called Incheon. This place was originally the Incheon Protectorate in North Korea, which guarded the flanks of Seoul, and the specifications were relatively high. But there was no food, and the Koreans were tortured by the Qing Dynasty. This place was sparsely populated, with only a few troops.

Just as they were stunned, a vast fleet of ships appeared on the Incheon Sea, hanging the Ming Dynasty flag, approaching the coast, and naturally deep-water ports, allowing the Ming army to land quickly. The defenders on the Incheon Coast did not think about resisting at all and immediately fled in all directions.
