In the ninth year of King Sizong Jingyan in the Ming Dynasty, on the fourteenth day of the ninth month in the lunar calendar, Goryeo, northeast of Ganghwa Island.

"Circle the mountain circle, the circle is not one zhang, there are three circles in the main circle, 38 soldiers and horses guarding the circle, and the shift changes every two hours..." At the foot of the low hills, the second team of the Chiyang Infantry Wang Tang, the officer in charge, held the reconnaissance report in his hand, with a look of bewilderment on his face. He asked the leader Sali Wen and Yang Gushan in the personal guards to lead the Ye Bu Shou to spy on the military situation, but the circles in the report were all over again. What the hell is it, could it be that he is playing some word games with himself, or is it that this group of Sao Dazi deceived himself that he didn't know a lot of Chinese characters, and deliberately sought his own happiness?Thinking of this, Wang Tang, the new official who took office three times, sneered in his heart, and immediately prepared to take Sariwen and imitate Gu Shan's method. Unexpectedly, the slap hadn't had time to slap the two ignorant Sao Dazi On the face, Ai Quan, who was staying beside him, replied expectantly,

"Master Guan, I wrote the report, and I also drew the circles and crosses. I'm sorry, I didn't know how to read well in Mr. Yan's and Mr. Chang's classes. When I wrote the report, I couldn't write many words. sorry Sorry!"

If you can't write, you just draw circles and crosses. It seems that you are still a strict master, and Chang's ruler is playing lightly!When Wang Tang saw that Ai Quan took the initiative to stand up to take responsibility, his anger dissipated a lot. At least he knew that Saliwen, Yang Gushan and others didn't deliberately make fun of themselves. As for the typo, it was a matter of level. Gangxin and old brothers were originally rough men who could not read big characters, but now under the guidance of Yan Xiaosong and Chang Jiansheng, they barely learned some culture. It is already good to be able to write a report. Draw circles and crosses.However, typos can be forgiven, but the military situation must be clarified immediately, so Wang Tang reached out to stop Ai Quan from apologizing, and asked him about the details of the sentry.When he learned that Sariwen, Yanggushan and the seven men and seven cavalry directly defeated Goryeo's strongest military force - the imperial camp hall was 200 people smaller, no matter how much he didn't want to see Sariwen, Yanggushan and other Sao Tartars, I can't help but look sideways at their bravery!You know, that is the cutting-edge army established by Goryeo imitating the Ming Dynasty. While suppressing the northern minorities, they have also fought several times with the Japanese pirates behind the Ming army. The combat power is not top-notch, but it should be almost the same. Where to go, but today it was easily defeated by Chiyang Yebushu mere cavalry. What does this mean? The lack of combat power of the regular Koryo army means that the implementation of the expedition plan formulated by Chiyang's high-level officials will not be as difficult as expected. You can easily break into the mainland of Korea along the narrow Ganghwa Strait. As for the several piers and earth fortresses blocking this road, in the eyes of the former pirates with absolute firepower superiority, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs. It will crash!

And then things start to get easier!Due to the responsibility of the strongest force on the island, the two hundred soldiers of the Imperial Battalion suffered saturation blows, so the defenders will no longer have the strength to interfere with the Red Army until they find out the details of the incoming enemy and gather enough troops. Yang vanguard troops act!And this gave Wang Tang and others an opportunity. The 36 Chiyang Banner troops would spend several days cutting down trees, leveling the land, and even capturing Korean civilians from nearby villages as coolies to help them build simple trestle bridges.At that time, when the main force of the expedition fleet arrives here, they can directly use the ready-made trestle to quickly load and unload personnel and goods, and then complete all preparations for attacking the Jianghua Left Behind Division in Gaoli.

"Sariwen, you take a group of people to the south to search for the existence of Korean villages nearby; Yang Gushan, you take another group of people to the north to monitor the Korean pier near the sea to prevent the stick minds inside Get dizzy and run out to make trouble for us!" With a few words, Wang Tang assigned the work of the banner army to his subordinates, and Wang Tang turned his attention to the Yebushou who were guarding the periphery. Whether it is work or monitoring the Korean garrison at the pier by the sea, it all has to fall on these Sao Tartars.After all, they have horses, and they are much better at acting than their own infantry. If they encounter any situation, even if they can't fight, they can run away successfully.So, he changed his usual indifference and contempt for foreigners, and put on a kind smile on his face, just to let these Sao Tartars do their job honestly, help him get the urgently needed Korean civilians earlier, and send the fleet The trestle bridge required for docking is built.

"Okay, Wang is in charge of the team!" After receiving the order from the temporary commander, Saliwen, Yang Gushan and others agreed loudly, then turned their horses and began to ride slowly in different directions, while the principal Wang Tang was watching Yebushou disappeared from his sight, rolled up their sleeves, took the big ax from the guards, and started the hard work of logging. He had to take the lead in the work, otherwise the [-] or so people under him How long does it take to finish the work? As for the others, seeing that the masters of the management team rolled up their sleeves to go to work, they all worked hard to chop down the trees!One, two, five, ten, twenty, thirty... Soon they had all the timber for the construction of the trestle bridge, and at this time, Saliwen and others who went out to look for the common people in Korea also rushed to the village. A group of ragged and twittering people appeared in everyone's eyes. Then, the Chiyang Banner Army, who was still working hard, turned into a stern supervisor in an instant, waving bamboo whips and waist knives, and began to urge Goryeo The common people work!

One day, two days, three days.For three days in a row, there was no response from Jinjingshan City and Yuechuandunbao, while the Korean civilians in the nearby villages were continuously driven to the construction site. The Saliwen team and the Yanggushan team took turns looking for the people and monitoring the Dunbao. In just three days, more than two hundred Bangzi people were brought back from the hilly area in the northern part of Jianghua Island. With their efforts, the simple trestle was quickly built, and a barren beach around the trestle was also cleared. After coming out, the clever Chiyang Banner Army even used wood and reeds to build a few long strips of temporary residences.

And Dongfeng didn't keep them waiting too long. Along the Ganghwa Strait, they went to the Han River, and then down the Han River. The bird boat that approached Gimpo for reconnaissance returned to the northern part of Ganghwa Island three days later.Their trip was equally lackluster.Although there are many warships on the Hanjiang River, there are many warships, but for one reason or another, it is impossible to catch up with the light-loaded reconnaissance ships with lower sails!To be honest, it’s useless even to catch up, because the bird boat is equipped with the Ye Gongshen blunderbuss, Xuanzi blunderbuss, and a large Frang machine. Jun had a good drink.These guys have not updated their warships and artillery since they followed the Ming army last time and defeated the Japanese invading army. Now they want to use gun barrels, bows and arrows to fight against Chiyang's cutting-edge artillery, and the consequences can be imagined!So, after repelling two or three waves of Koryo patrol boats that were eager to try, the two bird ships of Chiyang's advance fleet began to anchor slowly to measure the hydrology along the way and draw maps. But the army was stunned and had nothing to do with them.In the end, the advance fleet collected all the information and voluntarily withdrew from the waters of the Han River. Only then did the Korean navy shamelessly report to their superiors that the invading ships had been successfully expelled by their own side.It can be seen from this that after the loss of outstanding military generals such as Yi Sun-shin, the Goryeo navy has fallen. It is ridiculous that the two classes in the Goryeo court thought that the navy really defeated a new wave of Japanese pirates. Therefore, in order to commend them For their bravery, the Yi government not only sent a few urns of wine and a few fat dogs, but also rewarded them with an unprecedented one hundred thousand iron coins!

Closer to home, let's turn our attention to the hilly area in the northeast of Ganghwa Island.With the joint efforts of Chiyang Yigan Banner Army and the nearby Goryeo people, a forward base covering a large area has become quite large!They built more than a dozen simple long strip huts made of bamboo and wood. Not to mention piling up supplies, it would be no problem even if all the soldiers of the expeditionary army were arranged to rest in it; , They even built two, so that the main force of the expedition fleet can unload the cargo and personnel as quickly as possible, and then launch an attack on the moon string pier.Next, once the Fort Wolcheon is conquered by the expeditionary fleet, there will be no force in the entire northern part of Ganghwa Island that can threaten the attacking Chiyang fleet except for the soldiers of the Imperial Battalion in Jinjingshan City!At that time, the former with the advantage of guns can threaten Gimpo and even Seoul, the capital of Goryeo. If they retreat, they can charge a reasonable burden on Ganghwa Island. If you get hotheaded and come out to spoil the expedition fleet, then the expedition fleet will not spend energy to attack the city and pull out the stronghold. Everyone is safe and sound, and everyone can get what they need!

"Go back and tell the leader about the situation here, and tell him to send troops over immediately. Here, I will test the reaction of the stick guards in the pier for the expedition fleet. If there is no attack, I will lead the army. My son-in-law took down this pier for the leader, if they resist, I will wait for the army to arrive, and then bombard the city wall with cannons, killing all of them..." On the temporary trestle bridge, the fully armed team officer Wang Tang pressed the Yanling knife on his waist, and was giving instructions to the chief officer of the bird boat, while his surroundings were now surrounded by the Chiyang Banner Army armed with live ammunition. They will set off after sending the bird boat away, and go to test The reaction of the Moonstrand Fort defenders.With eight elite and brave Yebushu Qingqi, plus [-] experienced musketeers, sword and shield players, Wang Tang believes that even if he can't take down the moon fort in a short time, the defenders in the fort should also win I have nothing to do, and if I win by luck, the Chiyang Expeditionary Fleet can use this as a springboard to attack Ganghwa Island and even Gimpo and Seoul!
