395 Surrender 1
Qi Jun has a lot of experience in how to rob.
For example, how to quickly classify and tie up all men, women, young and old, so that they can lose their ability to resist without hindering themselves from keeping up with the large army.
For example, distributing the physical strength of the captives, how much spoils a man should carry, how much spoils a woman should carry, etc.
This is all experience. Qi Jun has become accustomed to the model of first handing over all the spoils and then distributing them after returning home (soldiers can only keep small and valuable items), and the amount of seizure involves performance, so they will not smash things worth dozens of coins in order to put an extra penny in their pockets.
Of course, I won't kill people for no reason.
Of course, it is unrealistic not to kill people. In order to deter the resisters, in any village with resistance, all males will choose ten to kill one.
If resistance caused casualties to the Qi army, then choose five to kill one.
If no one resisted the entire village, the Qi army would not kill people, but directly asked everyone to cooperate. Under the custody of a few soldiers, he took the property of the whole village to support the elderly and the young, and walked towards the Qi army's assembly ground at the Han River Estuary.
After all, it is already the twelfth lunar month. Compared with other conquerors, the Qi army killed fewer people, but this does not mean that there are few dead people.
The people who were not well fed and dressed all the way were not warm, and were arrested as slaves, were panicked and the weak, especially the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, had basically no chance to go to the Qijun camp, and would die of cold and starvation on the way.
For a time, corpses were everywhere from Goryeo to Hanjiangkou, and the ditches were filled with pale corpses. Wild dogs, wild wolves and other creatures were red-eyed and tearing up human corpses. If the guards of the Qi army would have shot and killed wild animals that were too close, they would probably even dare to attack the captive team during the day.
This is also a process of deregulation. Qi Jun only gives preferential treatment to women of childbearing age and younger children, and all men over 12 years old will be treated the same.
In this way, the Koreans who could arrive in Qi Province alive are either women and children or strong men.
This will play a big role in making up for the labor gap in Qizhou.
The Qi army's plundering efficiency was much higher than any previous force that invaded Goryeo, not to mention that they also had a large number of leaders to help.
By the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, the Qi army had captured nearly 100,000 people near Gyeonggi Province, and also had a large number of cattle, sheep, animals, gold, silver, jewelry, various colors of cloth and other materials.
What satisfied Xu Shiyang the most was that the Qi army also seized a large amount of food, which was as much as tens of thousands of stones, almost all of which were obtained from the homes of two nobles and the warehouses under the kingdom government.
These foods provide better guarantees for military operations of the military - at least the navy's transportation mission was much easier.
...
On the Wangjing side, the Qi army still surrounded the Goryeo people without attacking, but they maintained pressure on Wangjing for a long time.
At the beginning of the siege, in order to defend the last line of defense of the city wall, the King of Goryeo and two groups of nobles forced all men, women, young and old in the capital to go to the city wall to participate in defense (of course, the nobles and their families were exempted from being exempted from being charged), and for a time they even gathered nearly 100,000 troops.
However, the Goryeo nobles did not even prepare enough cold clothes and wind shelter for the defenders. As a result, when the temperature suddenly dropped on the night of the twelfth lunar month, the defenders of Wangjing were frozen to death and frostbite and injured thousands of people!
So the next day, thousands of Goryeo defenders opened the door and surrendered to the Qi army.
However, the Qi army did not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Apart from acquiring the surrendered army and sending hundreds of surrendered Koreans to shoot arrows at Wang Jing, the Qi army did not launch any attack on Wang Jing on that day.
Until evening, a Goryeo general named Jin Zhen led hundreds of private soldiers to close the city gate again, and the Qi army also returned home at the same time, ending the day's battle.
Now, even the stupidest person can see that the Qi army deliberately surrounded Wang Jing without fighting, just to wait for the various king-fighting troops in Goryeo to come to the door.
However, neither the king nor the two squads were willing to order the King of Rescue to act carefully. They were all looking forward to the King of Rescue to be able to exert their combat effectiveness and break the Qi army's encirclement of Wang Jing.
This natural knowledge is a fantasy.
On the 29th day of the 12th lunar month, more than 6,000 soldiers of the Huanghaidao royal army were defeated by the Qi army on the south bank of the Linjin River. More than 1,500 Goryeo army suffered casualties and more than 3,500 were captured. The commander died in battle and gave the Qi army a gift for the New Year.
On the evening of New Year's Eve of the second year of Longdao, the Qi army held a New Year banquet, lit a bonfire with the military propaganda team, and presented a party with the main purpose of showing off the Qi army's military force to the besieged army and the Goryeo defenders hiding on the city wall.
The party was at a wonderful point, and the Goryeo people who took the initiative to surrender to Qi Province also sang traditional Goryeo folk songs in unison.
In addition, the besieged troops set up rows of large pots at the gate of the city, and fought back.
It was said to be a counterattack against Ganghwa Island. In fact, before the war, Li Yiqi's intention was to intercept some Qi warships returning from Goryeo. Because he received information, the Qi army was transporting a large number of people robbed from Gyeonggi Province back to Qi Province.
These return ships will have much fewer armed personnel than usual. If they can enter close combat, Li Yiqi believes that he may win a certain victory.
The Gaoli Navy was very lucky. The first person to encounter them was not the Qi army, but the Li family's fleet in Shuangyu Port.
After both sides discovered each other, they had no intention of avoiding the battle and took the initiative to approach each other.
At a long distance, the Li family army used new weapons bought from Qi Province - muskets and artillery (all spoils seized by the Qi army from the Tartars). Fortunately, the Li family army's gun gunners were not experienced enough and shot the Goryeo army from a distance, with a very low hit rate.
Only more than a dozen large-caliber guns truly exerted their power.
Of course, with more than a dozen guns, although it could cause some casualties to the Goryeo army, it could not prevent the other party from rushing closer.
