Chapter 175 The brave army arrives and seals off the northern border! (Third update)
Xiao Qi saw that these Korean people had done this step spontaneously, and happily immediately sent someone to distribute food to the women and children who had already waited in line.
Not only did they distribute food to those women and children, but they also specially distributed food to those ordinary people who spontaneously drove away Korean officials and rich mine owners.
As long as they occupy the place with mineral resources, they will start to resume mining, announce the resumption of work and tell them that all wages are paid with food, and they will be paid after work every day. After the food shortage is over, they will switch to copper coins to pay wages.
This made those Koryo disaster victims whose eyes were already green from hunger were overjoyed, and those with men in their families rushed to sign up for work.
But then there was another problem in front of Xiao Qi. Those translators responded to Xiao Qi, saying that many Korean women who have no mature men in their families also want to work.
But the mine only accepts men, and they can't work to earn food. This makes them and the elderly and children at home still unable to have enough food.
Xiao Qi had no choice but to open several more handicraft workshops suitable for women wherever he went, and find some jobs suitable for women to arrange for women who had no strong laborers at home.
Although these things are very complicated, fortunately, those Korean people learned that these things were done to help them all fill their stomachs, and these people also actively participated in the construction of those handicraft workshops.
As a result, Xiao Qi just told him how to do many things, and the people of Goryeo did it consciously.
This allowed Xiao Qi to experience the obedience of these cosmic people to the occupying army. This feeling is really good.
Soon, those who voluntarily drove away the former dignitaries and handed over their belongings to the Song army could not only receive food, but also be given priority to work in exchange for food. This quickly spread among the people of Goryeo. .
This also made many towns not close to Xiao Qi, and even after driving away those dignitaries spontaneously, they not only sent people to guard those places, but also specially sent people to Xiao Qi's place, asking Song Jun to quickly take over.
Xiao Qi was also speechless. How much of a waste did King Yizong have to be to starve the people of his country to this level in a big disaster?
Although these people are famous for holding your thighs and shouting papa as long as you beat them, but they don't need to beat them now, they have already cried and offered the place to you.
What the hell, my own manpower is a little too busy to see the places that accept those voluntary city offerings.
Fortunately, after these days of waiting, the [-] brave army led by Zhang Jian has been sent over.
Xiao Qi had previously told them in his letter that they did not need to bring artillery trebuchets, but only gunpowder projectiles and cast iron bombs.
Among the 4 people, except for [-] cavalry, the remaining [-] are all infantry converted from elite cavalry. .
These [-] large ships made another trip to transport only these [-] war horses.
With these [-] strong troops, Xiao Qi immediately changed the speed of northward advance that did not satisfy him even though it was not slow.
Xiao Qi ordered that the more than 2 sailors quickly take over the site, and according to his previous plan, recruited manpower to resume the excavation of various minerals and establish various manual workshops.
He changed his original marching plan, took 100 cavalry and [-] Changsheng Battalion's "Vulcan Army", pulled more than [-] carts with [-] trebuchets and [-] cannons each, and quickly headed north. March.
Zhang Jian led [-] infantry, carried by the [-] large ships of the "Shanghai", with the remaining trebuchets and artillery.
Go directly to the northernmost tip of Koryo by sea, land from Sinuiju, and then occupy all the important towns on the road leading to the Kingdom of Jin in Koryo.
Yizong Wangxi and others who blocked the escape to the north must not let them escape, and must take them all down.
After Zhang Jiangong led the 5000 infantry and pulled the artillery and trebuchets away, Xiao Qi also led the [-] people across Kaijing and chased in the direction where King Yizong and the others fled.
In other words, Xiao Qi's method was absolutely brilliant, and it directly cut off the idea of Yizong Wang Xi taking all the belongings of Goryeo and escaping to the Kingdom of Jin.
The north of Goryeo was mountainous, and it would be too late to pursue him by land. Although Wang Hui of Yi Zong was carrying a lot of luggage with his family, he had been running for more than half a month, and the only way to catch him was by water.
It's not that Xiao Qi insists on grabbing those goods.
But only by killing King Yizong and the others, can the thoughts in the hearts of the Goryeo group of people who ended up in the Goryeo Dynasty be eliminated.
Xiao Qi pursued all the way north, and all the cities either surrendered or were blasted through the city walls by trebuchets and artillery, and they rushed in.
Then without looking back he went straight to the north to chase after Yizong Wang Yan who was escaping.
Besides, Zhang Jiangong took these [-] men and took a boat to rush to the north to intercept the brave army.
During the last two-pronged expedition to the west, one was led by Qin Tu and the other was led by Ma Shoucheng and Lin Zheng. Zhang Jiangong was ordered to stay on the old line of the Yellow River and did not go there.
After those three guys came back, they kept bragging to him about the 10 people watching in Beijing. Although Zhang Jiangong was dissatisfied with his mouth, his eyes were already green with envy.
This time the leading military order was to block the route for King Yizong Wangxuan to escape to the north, and ordered him to say nothing to allow Yizong Wangxuan to escape into the territory of Dajin.
On the boat, Zhang Jiangong agreed with his assistants that even if King Yizong had fled into Jinguo territory when he arrived, he would kill him.
If the golden man dares to stop him, he will fight to the death with them. Even if we don't have horses now, we will kill the golden man to death.
Waiting for them, there are more than 30 ships. After the fleet, which can be called a giant in this era, arrived at the Sinuiju military port, it was only two rounds of shelling and cast iron bombs thrown by trebuchets.
Just take down the Koryo navy here, together with the military port terminal.
Zhang Jiangong led people off the boat quickly, leaving only 3000 people guarding the pier, and led the rest to the capital city of Sinuiju.
Coincidentally, at this time, King Yizong and his [-] forbidden troops had just entered the city, and before they entered the city lord's mansion to rest, they received the news that the Song army was chasing them from the sea.
At this time, it was too late to run, and when I left the city, there were many horses and horses on my side, and there were mountain roads, so I would be overtaken by others within a short distance.
He could only order the city defender here to lead his [-] Koryo army, together with his own [-] forbidden army, a total of [-] Koryo soldiers to defend the city.
In order to boost morale, Yizong Wang Hao not only confuses people again, saying that Dajin's reinforcements are coming.
He also gritted his teeth and took out a large amount of money and told the defenders that as long as they defeated the Song attack, not only would they be promoted to various positions, but all the money would also be rewarded to them.
Because this is a border city, next to Daejin, the catastrophe in Koryo has basically no impact on this place, and it is completely advisable to go to Daejin to buy food.
Therefore, the temptation of this large sum of money is still very great. In addition, the defenders here often deal with the Jin people and believe that the Song people are not their opponents at all.
The sturdy Dajin soldiers dared to fight, let alone the Song people who were beaten by Dajin and ran around the world.
One by one, they all ran up to the city with confidence, determined to defend the fortress.
Zhang Jiangong led the people to the city, and when he saw this majestic fortress, he also took a deep breath.
I thought that if we didn't have artillery and trebuchets now, I don't know how many lives would have been needed to attack the city wall that was three to four feet high!
On the one hand, he ordered people to cut down trees to build the project ladder, and on the other hand, he ordered the cannons and riprap to be mounted, and prepared to attack the city after the ladder was built.
The generals defending the city saw that the Song army was actually under the city, and began to play with the medium-sized trebuchet, thinking that meant that they planned to use that thing to attack the city.
Can't help laughing: "Come here, give them a big gift with the giant catapult that we guard the city, so that these Song people know what a catapult is!"
The third one is delivered, please ask for a ticket!
