Chapter 448 It must be a black flag

Before the people arrived, Liaodong placed the order.

After the government-run farms and the powerful officials of various banners exchanged their fields with each other, some fields belonging to individual citizens were also rented or exchanged reasonably under the supervision of the sticky pole office, forming the prototype of several large farms at one time.

Now that each banner has determined the scope of farms for next year, Zhu Youjian has also distributed next year's crop ratios to farms that are currently registered but under construction. The main task of the Liaodong Ministry of Household Affairs next year is to supervise the completion of these farms.

At the same time, both the farms composed of various banners and the official farms under the name of Zhu Youjian, the black flag king, need to be expanded and developed.

The current utilization rate of the large flat fertile land in Liaodong may be less than one-tenth of the total.

So now it is the Liaodong banners that set task targets for the North Korean rebellion.

We must try to get as much labor as possible.

Based on the principle that he could kill Ding Youbu and run away if he saw the situation was wrong, Zhu Tianxing would naturally not let go of this opportunity to get closer to all members of Black Flag at the same time and make great achievements.

Dante Youbu made it clear.

North Korea's training supervisor and the elite troops of the fifth battalion are on their way to counter the rebellion.

And Zhu Tianxing also knew a little bit about the internal information of the army that came to suppress the rebellion.

From the generals leading their armies, to the list of sixth-rank captains, how much grain, grass and gunpowder they brought, the specific number of cavalry and infantry, how many armored men there were, the training status of the two armies after the reform, and the march logs were all revealed.

Came over.

Facing the navy general 'Kim Youbu' who gathered the victims and escaped slaves to rebel, this time North Korea sent 20,000 training governors, 30,000 troops from the fifth battalion, plus tens of thousands of civilians. The so-called 200,000 troops went north to crusade, and the attack was fierce.

.

And the North Korean navy is wandering in the Yalu River.

For the rebels, the scene was really unsightly.

The supporting firearms in Liaodong were only red-coated cannons and light matchlock guns, mostly bird guns, but fortunately there was enough gunpowder.

There is no fight now. The rebels are equipped with these "water-borne" firearms. They think that God is helping them, and their morale is quite high.

"Don't be discouraged! Anyway, let's give it a try first!"

Zhu Tianxing waved his hand.

Five hundred navy soldiers under Youbu's command, as well as three thousand strong men selected from the victims, took the firearms and cannons supported by Liaodong, and with the support of intelligence from Niangan, they began to try to ambush the North Korean army heading north.

For this expedition, the rebel army was full of morale.

Under the crazy slavery policy, rebellion is definitely indispensable. However, this place is small and the rebels can't pull them away. The rebels in the larger Ming Dynasty are running around everywhere, and there is room to eat wherever they hit. The officers and soldiers chase them all.

It’s going to take a while to chase a good one.

But this time, the officers and soldiers had great compassion and righteousness, supported them and led them to rebel. There were also a large number of firearms picked up from the river, which was completely different from previous rebellions and uprisings.

How high is this morale?

When the army went out for war, it was extremely cold in northern Korea. These makeshift sergeants did not have enough warm clothes and shoes, so the victims donated their belongings.

Layers of rags wrapped the soldiers on the expedition tightly.

Zhu Tianxing, wearing thick armor, watched as a North Korean boy shed tears and wrapped the clothes around his body that his mother asked someone to send him.

Looking at this newly assembled army, almost everyone is wearing overlapping layers of thick rags.

The men who stayed came over and brought a message, saying that these were the clothes of several women, and they would keep warm even if they were worn inside. After that, the women stayed in the tents, and left one of them to take turns to go out to get porridge and rice, and waited until they came back after winning the battle.

Remember to return your clothes.

"I share the same robe with you."

Zhu Tianxing couldn't help but feel sore when he saw it. He gritted his teeth and said to his subordinates: "After I leave, keep a closer eye on the female family members, so we can't let some scoundrels take advantage of this!"

Having said that, I still couldn’t help but sigh.

The rhetoric used to attract these disaster victims, "Don't be a slave, there is a way to survive," has been regarded as a holy scripture by them.

It is definitely not possible to pour cold water on the situation. In this case, it is natural to mobilize and encourage people to boost morale.

During the swearing-in meeting, the roars of these soldiers were loud, as if they were about to break the decadent old system of Arimyeong Korea and establish a new country where they would not be slaves.

Subsequently, the army set off to ambush the vanguard of the North Korean army.

A great victory in the first battle.

The process was so simple that even when Zhu Tianxing wrote the battle report sent to Liaodong, he didn't know how to add water to it to get credit for himself.

The vanguard force of the North Korean official army set up camp first at a location about thirty miles away from the rebel camp.

After setting up camp, the army sent out spies to briefly survey the surrounding terrain and then build the camp on the spot. Then, because of the falling snow, the spies retreated to the unfinished camp and hid in it!

The outpost of the rebel army reached a hill near the camp of the vanguard of the army and found some chopped wood. It is estimated that the army planned to build a sentry tower on the hill.

But because of the falling snow, the soldiers repairing the sentry tower also took shelter.

"Those who didn't know better thought he had been stabbed."

Zhu Tianxing was quite speechless at that time.

But the subsequent fight was even more outrageous.

The rebel army took position on the hill, and fired a round from more than a dozen small and medium-sized artillery pieces. The North Korean army was defeated. Zhu Tianxing was on the mountain watching the army in the camp where even the ditch was only half dug.

The vanguard general took a dozen of his followers on horseback and fled without looking back.

At first, Zhu Tianxing thought he was retreating in the face of the cannon and then regrouping.

But until the rebel army rushed to chase down the defeated army, took in the prisoners, and razed the vanguard camp to the ground, the vanguard troops of the official army showed no sign of counterattack.

Not even spies were sent.

In the first battle of the rebel army, no one was killed, but eighteen were injured. Nine of them were accidental injuries to friendly troops caused by indiscriminate shooting during the pursuit. Two fell because they did not look at the road. One chased him into the woods and bumped into someone who was not yet hibernating.

The bears had a fight.

The fight between this soldier and the bear may be the most difficult and dangerous part of the battle.

After the first battle, thirty-five of the enemy were killed and more than 700 were captured. All the weapons and equipment of the vanguard of the army were seized, and the troops returned to camp.

Zhu Tianxing took advantage of this and spread the news through the mouths of the refugees throughout Pyongan Road in northern North Korea within a day. Immediately, more victims and refugees came after hearing the news. It is estimated that refugees from the south would be more likely to come after hearing the news.

The rebel army was even more excited.

The staff and literati who could not even recognize the characters under Ding Youbu even began to fantasize about how to replace the Li family in Korea and ask for titles from the Ming Dynasty.

As for the North Korean military.

After learning that there were cannons in the rebel army, and hearing from the pioneer officer that they were red cannons, the leading general of the army, who had thought he had a chance of victory, stopped the march and rushed to send the news to Seoul.

King Li Hao of Joseon took a look.

Red cannon?

At least ten? In addition, there are some slightly smaller cannons with more than thirty?

Just like the generals who put down the chaos in North Korea thought the same way.

Li Hao immediately thought of Black Flag.

It could only be a black flag.
