Chapter 314 The Great Qing Conquered Korea
The rifled rifle requires a mallet to knock the open strip, so the open strip is iron.
Although the rifled rifle is extremely slow to load, the range is long and the accuracy is high. Four Jinyiwei handed the reloaded rifle to Zhao Peng, and Zhao Peng fired one by one, and each bullet could take the life of a Manchu Eight Banner Archer. However, the Eight Banner Archer's bow and arrow were helpless to Zhao Peng who was hiding in the distance, and he could only be beaten in vain.
After Zhao Peng completed the second round of shooting, all the Qing army's Eight Banners archers retreated. After all, there were not many Qing army's Eight Banners soldiers here, only more than 100 Eight Banners Han soldiers, more than 100 Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers and fifty Manchu Eight Banners soldiers, and the real archers were the fifty Manchu Eight Banners soldiers.
Although the Eight Banners Han Army also had archers, they used a small bow like the Ming Army. The range of the sling light arrows was about seventy steps, and this range was within the range of the Ming army's tiger squat cannon and turtledove gun; while the Mongolian Eight Banners used a cavalry bow, and the range of the sling light arrows was only fifty steps, not only within the range of the tiger squat cannon and turtledove gun, but also within the range of the bird gun, so the Qing army was even more unlikely to use the Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers to shoot against the Ming army.
The Eight Banners of Manchuria were able to shoot light arrows from the Ming army outside the range of the Ming army's turtle dove guns and tiger squat cannons, but they only had fifty people. Zhao Peng's two rounds of shooting just now killed eight Eight Banners of Manchuria, which made the Eight Banners of Manchuria no longer dare to go forward and shoot arrows. Although the Ming army they could shoot was much greater than their own casualties, both the Eight Banners Han Army and the Mongolian Eight Banners were suppressed by the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
The Eight Banners Han Army and the Mongolian Eight Banners, they suppressed more than 20,000 Korean soldiers. If the fifty Manchu Eight Banners soldiers were too injured, the Han Army Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners would be in chaos. Once there were no Han Army Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers to suppress the formation, would the Koreans honestly launch an attack on the Ming army's bastion?
Korean soldier Jin Biao is a bird gunner. He holds a Korean bird gun and hides behind a shield car to load nervously. The quality of the Korean bird gun is actually better than that of the Ming Dynasty bird gun, and it is not easy to explode. The inner wall is smooth and the accuracy is higher than that of the shoddy bird gun made by the Ming Dynasty Ministry of Works. However, in addition, the disadvantage of severely reduced accuracy is not solved because of the distance, and it can only shoot within fifty steps.
Because of the disadvantage of the short range of bird guns, when shooting against the Ming army's bows and arrows, the bird guns in the hands of the Korean soldiers did not take advantage of the bird guns, not to mention that the Ming army also had advantages in the terrain, so the Korean bird gunners suffered heavy casualties.
With his experience in many battles, Jin Biao avoided the Ming army's bow and arrow shot again and again, and also avoided the Ming army's bird gun attack. The closest time to death was that his formation was bombarded by the Ming army's tiger squat cannons, and the shotguns were sprayed in like rain. His companions around him fell down a large area like harvested rice. He moved faster and luckily avoided the tiger squat cannon attack, but he was still wiped by the jetted gravel on his body.
A big hole was torn into the Yuanyang Battle Jacket, and Jin Biao's body was bleeding. Fortunately, it was not a head-on hit. He simply bandaged himself and continued to shoot at the top of the city.
When loading ammunition, Jin Biao couldn't help but recall the past: he was a veteran in his 40s. As early as the Battle of Dingmao 19 years ago, he participated in this battle at the age of 19 and shot and killed the Later Jin soldiers in the battle. However, the Korean army could not resist the fierce attack of the Later Jin and was defeated from Linghan Mountain City.
Most of the Korean soldiers failed to escape the pursuit of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty. Fortunately, Jin Biao was a hunter soldier. He hid in the mountains and forests and escaped the pursuit of the Later Jin Dynasty by chance.
Later, the Korean court signed a contract with the Later Jin Dynasty, and North Korea formed an alliance with the Qing Dynasty, so Huang Taiji withdrew his troops.
But a year and a half ago, the Qing Dynasty did not know what crazy it was, and actually sent a large army to invade North Korea, which had become an ally. It soon captured Seoul, slaughtered a lot in North Korea, and massacred countless cities. The Korean king had to flee south of Luozhou.
Afterwards, under the great pressure of the Qing army, the Korean king was forced to agree to the conditions of the Qing army, allowing North Korea to be incorporated into the Qing Dynasty. The Korean king also changed from the original Korean king to a vassal king similar to the Qing Dynasty. However, his status was not as high as that of the Qing Dynasty prince, because his status was only equivalent to that of the Qing Dynasty prince.
After North Korea was incorporated into the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon started to shave his hair and change his clothes in North Korea. He started to shave his hair and obey the King of Korea. King Lee Nei was forced to shave his head, and his hair was shaved in front, leaving a rat-tail braid. Originally, the Ming-style python robe was not allowed to be worn, and he changed into the Qing Dynasty python robe. However, according to the principle of men following and women not following, the queen, concubine, and the king of North Korea did not change their clothes and still wore their Korean-style robe.
However, if the Korean royal family wants to enter Beijing, the Korean queen, concubine, and the master must change into Manchu women's clothes and their hair must also turn into Manchu women's style.
Although Korean soldiers like Jin Biao had their hair shaved and had a rat-tail braid, the Qing Dynasty did not have as many cotton cloth at this time, so the military uniforms remained unchanged, and they were still mandarin duck war jackets and round black Korean hats.
In North Korea, the North Korean people also shave their heads and braids, but the clothes they wear have not changed. The people are poor, so it is impossible to change into new clothes.
In fact, in the original time and space, the Qing Dynasty used hair shaving and changing clothes to change clothes in the Ming Dynasty, and the requirements for hairstyles were the most stringent. If the standard was not met, it would be beheaded, leaving hair without head, and leaving head without hair. However, the requirements for clothing were only strict for officials and gentry, but ordinary people actually had no requirements.
From the old photos since the end of the Qing Dynasty, we can see that in fact, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were even old farmers wearing short-dressed clothing from the Ming Dynasty, because the clothes they were heirlooms, and they were handed down from generation to generation and could be used as cultural relics.
In fact, during the Qianlong period, a hobby of wearing Han clothing arose among the people. Of course, it was limited to ordinary civilians. Gentlemen and officials were never allowed. Some poor people, the clothes passed down from generation to generation were so worn out, so they made new clothes, and the clothing styles were the short-shot styles of the Han people.
As a result, the clothes of Han farmers in the late Qianlong period were worn by the poor until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and photos were preserved.
The Qing Dynasty's hair and clothing change in North Korea naturally encountered fierce resistance from the Koreans, but the resistance was futile and the strength was too different. It was just like an adult hitting a child or a man hitting a woman, and it was impossible to resist it at all.
The Koreans were forced to shave their hair and change their clothes. All those who refused to shave their hair and change their clothes were killed, and the rest were all bloodless.
After the King of Korea announced his surrender, he accepted his hair and changed his clothes, the population of North Korea became the Qing Dynasty. At its peak, the population of North Korea once had more than 12 million people. Later, the Japanese invaded and the population of North Korea dropped sharply to more than 2 million. Later, the Ming Dynasty defeated the Japanese, and the population of North Korea gradually recovered. By this time, North Korea had a population of more than 6 million.
After the Qing army came in, they shaved their hair and changed their clothes and massacred them. The population of North Korea decreased to more than four million. However, after the Qing Dynasty obtained the population of more than four million, it was able to form a Korean Green Camp Army of at least 200,000 people.
Now the Qing Dynasty's rule in Korea has gradually stabilized, and the thousand-year-old slaves are slaves after all. After all, they surrendered to the iron hoof of the Qing Dynasty and became an accomplice of the Qing Dynasty's attack on the Ming Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty's rule in Korea can be said to be very harsh. Now the Qing Dynasty's control areas in China are only the Central Plains, including the eastern and western Shandong, Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, and northern Henan. The Central Plains, which had originally had a fertile land in history, had sharply reduced grain output due to years of disasters and could no longer maintain the Qing Dynasty's rule in the Central Plains, so the Qing Dynasty could only obtain a large amount of food from North Korea.
The northern part of North Korea is mountainous, so naturally there is not much food, but in southern Korea there is a large plain suitable for rice growth, and the grain output is relatively high. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty imposed a very heavy agricultural tax in North Korea to maintain their rule in the Central Plains.
