Zhao Ming left more than a thousand soldiers to guard Pi Island, sent ships to pay attention to the mouth of the Yalu River, and prepared to intercept the Koreans who went to the Qing Dynasty to report the message.

The Korean army was famous for being indifferent. Within a few months, it was attacked by Japan to the Yalu River. If the Ming Dynasty hadn't rescued it, North Korea would have long become the territory of Japan.

During the Battle of Sarhu, North Korea responded to the Celestial Empire and sent 10,000 troops to assist in the war.

Although the Korean army was well-equipped, with 3,000 muskets and many artillery guns, they were afraid of their hands and feet during the march, which made Liu Jin's troops advance alone, resulting in Liu Jin's 10,000 soldiers being besieged to death by the Later Jin Dynasty.

After the Ming army was defeated, the Korean army showed a vulnerable side. They did not even fight and directly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

In order to survive, the Marshal Jiang Gonglie of the Korean capital openly betrayed the Ming Dynasty and secretly sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Later Jin Dynasty to execute Ming soldiers in the military camp. In order to avoid being humiliated, the Ming guerrilla Qiao Yiqi hanged himself and sacrificed his life for his country. The rest of the Ming army soldiers were killed by Korean soldiers in exchange for the lives of the Koreans.

Since then, the Qing Dynasty invaded Korea one after another, and the Korean army has been invincible and cannot stand the battle.

Therefore, even with the help of the King of Korea and controlling North Korea, Zhao Ming had no confidence in relying on the Korean army to resist the Qing Dynasty.

In order to prevent the Qing Dynasty from getting the news, he sent a cavalry into North Korea and beat the Koreans to kneel down and begging for mercy. Zhao Ming decided to block the news of North Korea first, so as not to let the Qing Dynasty know about the affairs of North Korea, to rectify the Korean army and mobilize troops to gain opportunities.

At this time, after leaving Pi Island, the fleet moved away from the coast to avoid premature exposure.

The huge fleet was storming and entered the vicinity of Jianghua Bay after sailing on the Yellow Sea for a few days.

Jianghua Bay, especially the Han River estuary, has relatively complex water marking conditions. Rivers flow into the sea, forming undercurrents. Foreign ships are not familiar with water markings and it is difficult for them to sail here.

However, Huaxing's merchant ships traveled to and from Japan and North Korea to trade with the North Koreans. The Tiandihui had already figured out the water traces of Jianghua Bay and Han River.

At this time, it was getting darker, but the fleet did not moor, but entered the Jianghua Bay waters in the heavy night.

In the bay, islands passed by the fleet, and the Ming Navy had already arrived near the mouth of the Han River.

"Master, the entrance of the Han River should be in front of it." Guo Zhong looked at the rudder of Zhenhai with a drawing, raised his head and said.

Zhao Ming leaned over when he heard the words, and the soldiers immediately brought the torch. The generals looked at the drawings in the light of the fire, and estimated that they were indeed almost at the mouth of the Hanjiang River.

"Master, you can't make a mistake!" Guo Zhong observed for a while, pointed to a land in the distance, and said with great certainty this time: "There should be Jianghua Island ahead, you must be wrong."

When Mao Wenlong was at Pi Island, he developed trade with North Korea and Japan. Guo Zhong had come to North Korea for trade several times and was quite familiar with Jianghuawan.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming looked around and saw the land in the distance, so he asked, "Can there be a Korean army stationed nearby?"

Guo Zhong spread out the drawings and looked at them, then nodded, "The King of Korea once went to Ganghwa Island to avoid disaster. There were earthen cities and artillery on the island, and more than a thousand soldiers were stationed to defend against Japanese pirates and pirates."

Zhao Ming pressed the hilt of the knife and said in a deep voice: "If the army wants to capture Seoul, we cannot leave such a nail behind us. Jianghua Island must be taken."

Guo Zhong and others clasped their fists and said, "Bi Zi and others immediately discussed a strategy!"

Zhao Ming waved his hand and raised his eyebrows and said, "What strategy should be discussed when attacking the islands guarded by more than a thousand Korean troops! He ordered the army to extinguish the torches, and after approaching the island, large ships bombarded and small boats swarmed and landed. He made a big move and directly defeated me."

Zhao Ming led the navy and was rejected in Shandong and Lushun for a long time. He had a cloud of evil fire in his heart, and he was just venting it today.

When great powers compete, Zhao Ming couldn't do anything to the Qing Dynasty for a while, but it was still more than enough to deal with North Korea.

"Here!" Guo Zhong and others heard the blood for a while, and immediately clasped their fists solemnly.

Soon, a few lights rose up on the flagship watchtower and issued an order. After a moment, the fleet's lights went out one by one, and the warship turned into a hill moving in the darkness and slowly approached the land.

At the third update, the Ming Navy approached Jianghua Island. On the Tucheng City on the island, the soldiers patrolling were actually lit torches.

At this time, the sailors of the Ming army ships put down the flat-bottomed boat hanging at the stern of Fu's ship. Xie Qian led a battalion of soldiers to board a hundred flat-bottomed boats. Taking advantage of the night, he slides his oars, rows on the shining sea surface, and quietly approaches the coast.

The Ming Dynasty gunships and blessed ships had a deep draft and could not directly rush to the island, and were prone to hit the reef and stranded. This kind of flat-bottomed ship was used as an escape ship after the warship was destroyed. At the same time, because the draft was shallow, the flat-bottomed ship could even rush directly to the beach, so it was used to land and grab the beach.

Of course, these ships are small and shallow in draft, so they cannot sail long distances on the sea, so they can only be used in special situations.

At this time, most of the Korean troops on Jianghua Island had fallen asleep, and only a small number of soldiers were still patrolling Tucheng.

Since North Korea surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, it has less threats from the Qing Dynasty. In addition, it has had contacts with Japan and the Ming Dynasty in the south, and none of the parties regard North Korea as an enemy, which has left no threats outside North Korea, so the Korean army is naturally relatively slack.

At this time, torches were burning in the earthen city, and several North Korean sentries were leaning against the earthen wall, with no more nonsense.

A soldier who was anxious to pee stood up and walked to the earthen wall to relieve himself. When he was thrilling, his expression suddenly changed. He rubbed his eyes quickly and exclaimed suddenly: "Ah! Xiba! There is a boat!"

Before he finished speaking, on the dark sea, on the side of the Ming Dynasty gunship, a "boom boom boom" gun sound suddenly sounded.

The Koreans saw the flames of artillery flashing in the distance, like a dazzling galaxy. The shells ejected out, and the rising smoke and dust flew out, making a "swish" sound of breaking through the air, and then quickly hit Tucheng.

The shells fell into the city, awakening the sleeping Koreans, running around like headless flies, and the island was in an instant.

At this time, Xie Qian, who was on a flat-bottom boat and rushed to the shore, immediately drew his sword and roared: "Brothers, kill me!"

Hundreds of sea boats rushed to the beach, and three thousand Ming soldiers, holding battle knives and shields, and holding muskets, jumped off the ships, raised the torch, and launched a fierce attack on Tucheng.

The next morning, a team of cavalry rushed into Seoul, King Kong, Korea.

The news that the Ming army navy appeared in Jianghua Bay and captured Jianghua Island. Thousands of troops were advancing rapidly along the Han River reached the ears of the King of Korea, the ministers of the Yili Sect and the pro-Qing Sect.

In the palace hall, the King of Korea was sitting on the throne, with dozens of Korean ministers kneeling on both sides. Everyone was talking, and many people showed joy on their faces.

At this time, a member of the Qing Dynasty sent his ministers to glance at everyone with a vicious look, saluting to the King of Korea, "King, Korea is a member of the Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has been driven to the south by the Qing Dynasty. The King cannot make a wrong decision for the sake of the Korean people. I suggest notifying the Qing Dynasty while sending a large army to stop the Ming army!"
