The origin of the Korean monarch of the Lee family is the Lee family in Quanzhou, with its capital in Hanyang. The world is known as the Lee Dynasty, or the Lee Dynasty for short.
The capital of the Li Dynasty was Kaijing, also known as Songdu, the former capital of the Koryo Dynasty at the beginning. Later, it was settled in Seoul. After the first Prince's rebellion, it moved its capital to Kaijing again; After the second prince's rebellion, it finally returned to Seoul and has been the capital since.
It is located in the middle of the Korean Peninsula and in the basin. The Han River passes through the city in a circuitous way. It is about 30 kilometers away from the west coast of the peninsula, about 200 kilometers away from the east coast, and about 260 miles away from the important town Pyongyang in the north.
Nanshan is located in the city center, with Hannan mountain city built. The Han River flows slowly from east to west. The water surface is 400 meters to about one kilometer wide. The city stretches meandering along the gentle River Valley, which is naturally divided into North and South regions. Around the city, low mountains and hills with an altitude of about 500 meters, such as city walls, play a natural protective role.
Seoul's main defense is against strong enemies on land.
Daming and JianNu in the north are the main targets of their defense. They thought they would encounter enemies from the sea, mainly Japanese. They also defeated the main force of the enemy's navy in the Japanese invasion. Li Dynasty still has confidence in its navy.
But they never thought that when the Chinese Navy appeared, it would be so amazing.
At that time, when the Japanese power minister Toyotomi Hideki sent his huge fleet to kill here, it was powerful and arrogant. It is said that there were thousands of warships.
The Japanese came to thousands of ships. They were not afraid and fought them back tenaciously. This time, the Chinese Navy only came to more than 200 warships, but beat them to tears.
The naval divisions of the Li Dynasty basically fought through fire attack and side to side war. The main warships of the Chinese army were basically gunships. They basically did not use fire attack and side to side war, but used artillery to attack the enemy, which was completely close to the Western Navy.
The navy of the Chinese army came from the navy of the Zheng family. They were originally imitating the tactics of the Dutch and Portuguese and became stronger in a series of battles. They fought with the Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish.
They can't win Malacca, Batavia and Manila, but in the vast sea, they can put the greatest pressure on the East India Companies in these countries.
Their most powerful place is the ships traveling in the eastern sea. If you don't pay protection fees to them, if you don't pay taxes to them and hang their flags, you can't sail freely in this sea area and are easy to be attacked by them.
Not to mention other people, even the merchant ships of the Dutch East India Company have to fly their flags, which shows their strong strength.
The Chinese navy can be so powerful, that is, because they completely received the Zheng family's navy and expanded on this basis, they have today's strength.
In terms of strength, the navy of the Chinese army now has a very strong navy than in the era of Zheng He and the era of Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty. However, they are still naval divisions, still have to be attached to the Ministry of war and subject to the jurisdiction of local officials.
The Chinese army and navy are independent arms, and even the army general command is on an equal footing. They do not have to accept the orders of local officials and are directly under the military headquarters, which virtually improves their status and greatly speeds up their development.
Now it plans to transform into a Royal Navy, which is even more awesome.
People along the coast like to join the Chinese Army Navy. The scale of the Chinese Army Navy has exceeded 200000 and is still expanding.
After controlling the Daming coast, they have more docks and manufacturing bases, and can make more ships. For example, during the expedition to North Korea, they have basically abandoned the old ships and used brand-new wooden wind sailboats, which are called battleships in the West.
This kind of warship is completely different from the traditional blessing ship and building ship. It mainly attacks and defeats the enemy through the cannon on the side of the ship.
A moving warship, with more than a dozen cannons on it, is equivalent to a moving fort. More than 200 ships sailed into the Han River, lined up at the mouth of the Han River in turn, and shelled the Han River City. The scene was really earth shaking.
In the rumble of gunfire, countless bullets, like raindrops, blew down Hanjiang city. It took only half a day. The whole Hanjiang city and its surrounding areas were turned into ruins and a sea of fire. Countless people's families were destroyed and displaced.
The Korean army also set up some forts and naval strongholds on the sea, but it had no effect in the face of the powerful shelling and attack of the Chinese army. In the first round of counterattack, it was basically destroyed.
Not long after the rest fled back to the camp, the fleet of the Chinese army had caught up and dealt a devastating blow to them.
Their army, seeing that the Chinese army and Navy were so strong and powerless, could only reluctantly return to the urban area and withdraw from the range. It was trembling with fear. There was no formed army to dare to fight here.
The Chinese army was so strong, but it shocked the North Korean monarchs and officials and panicked to the extreme. There was a pot of porridge in the imperial court.
They knew that the Chinese army was very strong and powerful, but no one believed that they would be so strong?
At this time, Lee's North Korea knew the power of the Chinese army.
At the moment, they suddenly realized why Daming was destroyed by the Chinese army and why JianNu was as afraid of the Chinese army as a tiger.
The narrowness of the Korean Peninsula can be said to limit their vision and pattern. In such a small place, they dare to compete for hegemony with the Middle Kingdom and destroy themselves.
To know why Lee's Korea was founded, it was because Korea seized Kaiyuan Road (Liaodong) during the chaos in the Central Plains.
After the founding of the people's Republic of China, the Ming Dynasty asked it to return Kaiyuan Road. At that time, the Korean monarchs and ministers did not want to return it at all. They also sent General Li Chenggui to lead the army to Liaodong to prepare for war with the Ming Dynasty.
But the soldiers didn't want to fight, neither did Li Chenggui. They were so urgent that they simply didn't do it. They killed back to the capital, destroyed the royal family and established Li's North Korea.
On the one hand, they dare to kill the messengers of the Chinese army because of Daming and JianNu. On the other hand, they also have an arrogant psychology. They are thinking, since there is a great chaos in central Turkey, can they take advantage of the fire? fish in troubled water.
If Liaodong had not been occupied by JianNu, it is impossible that they would have sent troops to attack.
For North Korea, they have always been interested in restoring the strong land of Koguryo, including the present Eastern Liaoning. They have always been humiliated and believe that this is their inherent territory, but for the Central Plains imperial dynasty to seize the past with its own strength. One day, they will eventually take back their own territory.
The chaos in the Central Plains is the best opportunity. If they surrender to the Chinese Empire, it means that they have no chance to attack each other. If the two sides are hostile, they can have a chance to attack each other.
Of course, they also made a variety of plans. King Li Luo of the Li Dynasty understood very well that everything had nothing to do with him. It was all done by his ministers, mainly by the pro prisoner faction and the pro Ming faction. Everything had nothing to do with him.
He has always managed the government in this way and adjusted the power disputes among his ministers.
When trying to provoke Daming and Japan, he asked his men to come out. He took the lead. If anything went wrong, he pushed his men out and picked himself clearly.
Now is no exception. Seeing that the Chinese army is so powerful, it can't fight the enemy at all.
In the past, he thought that the Chinese army was just a strong land division. The navy was general, and their land division was strong. However, it was not easy to dispatch troops from thousands of miles here. What's more, JianNu was entrenched there between the two sides in Liaodong. They wanted to fight until they were young and could not travel.
Moreover, they have reached an agreement with JianNu secretly. The other party will hold the Chinese army back and prevent them from attacking North Korea from land. In this way, they are almost foolproof and very safe.
Of course, Li Chaojun and his ministers are not stupid. They can also see that the Chinese navy can directly cross the Yellow Sea and attack the peninsula from Dengzhou.
But the role that the navy can play is limited. Even the most powerful navy can't go ashore, so what they experience most is a Renchen Japanese chaos.
But only when the Chinese Navy dispatched and carried out an all-round attack on them did they know how powerful they were.
The extremely rich Hanjiang city was razed to the ground and turned into a sea of fire in half a day. With the efforts of generations, the prosperity of dozens of miles turned into ruins.
The Chinese army was so violent that it aroused the common hatred of the North Korean monarchs and officials.
It also frightened them.
Now they know that the navy is so powerful. Now they are convinced that the Chinese navy has a large number of red cannon rumors.
In the past, they always believed that this was just a rumor. Only western people would have so many cannons. The Chinese army could not have so many. If they had so many, they would have flown into the sky long ago. Therefore, they believed that this was only a rumor, but a deliberate exaggeration of the Chinese army.
It was also an excuse for the Ming Navy's failure. When they really fought with the Chinese army, they found that they were simply vulnerable.
As a large coastal defense country, North Korea has always paid attention to the development of navy.
Renchen Japanese chaos, Lu Shiquan collapse, all rely on their navy, played a great role, even the neighbor Daming appreciated it.
However, the Navy, which they are proud of, began to destroy the regiment when they fought with the Chinese army and navy in the first round. How can they not be frightened and frightened?
