The beggar emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 574
“Yaji…”
Under Seoul, Japanese warriors carrying simple ladders and wielding samurai swords rushed towards the city wall one after another.
The Korean servants on the city wall, although their faces were pale and trembling, had to harden their scalp under the knife of the eight flag soldiers behind them.
Several people threw the rolling wood and Thunder Stone together and spilled the hot dung. For a time, there was a wail and scream under the four walls.
Although the Japanese warriors are all desperate and fearless of death, the walls of Seoul are tall and strong. There are not only more than 30000 Korean servants in the city, but also two thousand eight flag warriors. These two thousand people walk through the Yang with every step. As long as they bend their bow and take an arrow, they will be able to shoot. More Japanese warriors are killed and injured than those killed by stone headed rolling logs.
In addition, Hogg took nearly 5000 cavalry to support the periphery. Whenever there was a critical moment, he would rush up with cavalry to break the siege. Therefore, the Japanese army not only failed to break through Seoul for seven days, but lost more than 20000 people again.
This makes Tokugawa Jiaguang also angry. He can’t figure out why those cowardly Korean soldiers worked so hard this time.
Obviously, he also saw that there were very few real Eight Banners in the city, almost all of which were defended by Korean soldiers.
This time, not only Tokugawa Jiaguang came in person, but also celebrities from all over the country. Even older ones sent their sons to lead the team. Almost all the warriors supported by celebrities lost in a few days, so they were heartbroken one by one.
One of them couldn’t help persuading: “general, Han people usually surround the city on three sides and leave one side for the people in the city to escape. In this way, the people in the city won’t fight to defend the city. Why don’t we have a try!”
“Well, give it a try. Withdraw all the people in the north and attack only from the other three sides.”
Tokugawa just thought about it and adopted the famous master’s opinion. He naturally knew that there was a lack of one in the encirclement three in the art of war of the Han people. The reason why he didn’t adopt it was to annihilate the female immortal in one fell swoop and prevent them from fleeing to the north.
Although the immortal left thousands of cavalry outside the city, women and children stayed in the city. Therefore, as long as the city is broken, the immortal will work hard and will not escape.
This just came and surrounded Seoul. Who ever wanted to force those cowardly Korean soldiers to fight for their lives? At this time, he also regretted that once he got ashore, he would show his true colors. Otherwise, with the assistance of the Korean king, things would be much simpler.
Sure enough, when the Japanese withdrew the troops and horses in the north, a large number of Korean soldiers fled over the wall that night. If it weren’t for the eight flag soldiers guarding the gate, they might have opened the door and ran away.
Although the eight flag soldiers in the city found out in time and sent people to guard at the head of the city, only 2000 people were tired during the day, and there were still many Korean soldiers who escaped secretly. For a time, the people were in panic and the army was distracted.
Obviously, these Korean soldiers worked hard a few days ago. It was really because the Japanese surrounded the city and had no way to escape, and the Japanese were notoriously ferocious, so they had to work hard.
Now that there is a way to live, no one wants to stay in the city and wait for death, because nearly 10000 North Korean soldiers in the city have also died in the past seven days.
In the next three days, the Japanese only launched several feints, and the Korean soldiers in the city ran 7788. Although Haug was anxious, he had no choice but to send someone to negotiate with Tokugawa Jiaguang.
There’s no way. The gate is so big. Even if fifty or sixty thousand people get on their horses, they can’t escape in a short time. If they abandon those people, the immortal will be over. Therefore, Hogg will never abandon them unless he has to.
At this time, I also regret that I didn’t leave them in the north. At the beginning, I also considered their safety, so I let the people follow the brigade.
The situation is not as good as people. Haug’s negotiation condition is very simple, that is, they can give up the richest Gyeonggi road. As long as the three northern roads and the other five roads can be given to the Japanese, and if the Han people levy in the future, the two sides can work together.
Who ever wanted Tokugawa to have a bigger appetite? She not only asked the female immortal to hand over Huang Haidao, but also to submit to Japan in the future, first contributing 10000 good horses. The money, food and beauty plundered in Gyeonggi do are not allowed to be taken away, especially the queen and concubine of Li Luozhong must be handed over.
Although the eight flag warriors are not afraid of the Japanese, how can they be dragged down by those ethnic groups? In addition, the Japanese threaten to transfer another 100000 troops. After weighing the pros and cons, they finally have to agree to give up Gyeonggi road and Huanghai Road. Beauty money and food can not be taken away, but there are up to 2000 war horses. It is impossible to be a vassal.
If you don’t agree, the fish will die and the net will be broken. Although most of the people can’t escape, 7000 eight flag warriors can go at any time. With the other three, more than 10000 eight flag warriors will be enough to make the Japanese restless in the future.
At this time, Tokugawa Jiaguang had already known the power of the eight flag cavalry. They not only came and went like the wind, but also appeared and disappeared like ghosts. Their arrow skills were extremely accurate. They were all outlaws and extremely fierce. I’m afraid it would be very difficult to wipe them out completely.
Once the two sides formed a dead feud, most of the South was plain, and it was really impossible to prevent it in the future. Finally, after some wrangling, the number of war horses increased to 5000, Tokugawa Jiaguang agreed.
The reason why Tokugawa Jiaguang didn’t kill all of them is that the eight flag cavalry is really difficult to deal with, and that the two northern roads are barren and sparsely populated, so it’s nothing to give them to immortal women.
Of course, the main reason is that the Central Plains Dynasty will soon send a large army to recover, so it wants to end the war early. If the Han people really come at that time, there are also female immortals in front. If the Han people don’t come, it’s not too late to clean up the female immortals at that time. Then the female immortals are reluctant to feed themselves. They are not afraid to turn to the Han people and provide food and supplies to the Han people.
After the negotiation, Hogg and Tokugawa Jiaguang also learned from the Han people and formally signed a contract, which was drafted in Chinese characters. After signing the contract, Hogg gave Tokugawa Jiaguang 5000 war horses, and then took the people north.
Looking at 5000 tall BMWs, Tokugawa Jiaguang and a number of famous masters, they can’t put it down. But when looking at the mountains of gold, silver, jewelry and all kinds of beautiful women in the city, all the Japanese are crazy and laugh wildly.
Tokugawa Jiaguang sat on the king’s chair in the palace, with a queen in his left hand and a princess in his right hand. Under the praise of many famous names, he almost forgot his last name.
No way, Japan has been spying on North Korea for hundreds of years, not a day or two, nor a year or two.
However, North Korea has been clinging to the thighs of the Central Plains Dynasty, so that Japan has always been worried and dare not move lightly.
It was the only time that his tusks were exposed decades ago. In the end, he was beaten and suffered heavy losses. Even the Muromachi shogunate was ruined. Therefore, it is natural for Tokugawa to float.
