The Tsukuma Strait is a strait between Japan and North Korea. Historically, Japan has crossed the Tsukuma Strait many times to launch an attack on North Korea. The weak North Korea could not resist Japan's attack at all and could only ask for help from the suzerain state. During the Tang and Ming dynasties, China had examples of sending troops to help North Korea resist Japan's invasion. However, the Koreans were not a good bird, just a group of ungrateful wolves.

After the situation in Japan stabilized, the Chinese army began to withdraw from Japan one after another. The 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy escorted three marine brigades and first evacuated from Japan. This time, the fleet did not go to the Pacific Ocean, but passed through the Seto Inland Sea, then entered the Tsushima Strait from the northern Kyushu Guanmen Strait, and then entered the East China Sea. According to the order of Chinese Emperor Long Yufei, this time, the Chinese army could easily resolve North Korea on its way back. For a small country like North Korea, there were only a few million people and only tens of thousands of troops. China could easily destroy them.

On the cruiser of the 1st Fleet flagship, the 1st Fleet, Lieutenant General Sun Hao is analyzing the intelligence of North Korea sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau in order to formulate an attack plan against North Korea. Although North Korea is now showing signs of moving closer to the Chinese Empire, they are ultimately the vassal states of the Qing Dynasty. Then, they are naturally the enemy of China. Moreover, North Korea's geographical location is very important. If China occupys North Korea, it can directly send troops from North Korea to threaten the Qing Dynasty's northeast, and even cooperate with the southern troops to attack the capital.

The Li Dynasty is now ruled by the Korean Peninsula. It was the last dynasty in the history of the Korean Peninsula. It was established by Li Chenggui, the former guard of the Goryeo Dynasty. The main monarch was the Li family of Jeonju. After 27 monarchs, it had a total of more than 500 years. The territory generally covered the entire Korean Peninsula. The early capital was originally in Kaijing and later established its capital in Hanyang. In 1388, King Xin Jing of Goryeo sent the commander of the Right Army to attack Liaodong. He wanted to send troops to the northeast of the Ming Dynasty. Li Chenggui opposed the sending of troops. After the division arrived at Weihua Island, he returned to launch a coup, deposed Xin Jing and made his son Xin Chang king king, and controlled the military and political power of the Goryeo Dynasty. In 1392, Li Chenggui deposed King Gong Rang and established himself as king in Shouchang Palace in Songjing, and named the Ming Taizu as "Korea".

In 1395, the capital was moved to Hanyang. The capital was renamed Seoul. In 1398, the capital was moved again after the First Prince Rebellion; in 1400, the capital was finally established in Hanyang after the Second Prince Rebellion. Korea governed the country with Confucianism, and Confucianism replaced Buddhism as the concept of state rule. During the reign of Sejong, Korea's economy, culture, military, science and technology developed greatly. The invention of the Proverb also provided conditions for the popularization of cultural popularization of Korean civilians. Korea was one of the Ming Dynasty's non-suffering countries and was rated as "respectful to the world" by the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the 16th and early 17th centuries, North Korea adopted a policy of closing its doors to the country due to attacks from the Later Jin and Japan. Starting from the 19th century, the internal disputes in North Korea caused the country to decline.

North Korea was originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. However, after the rise of the Qing Dynasty, North Korea eventually turned to the Qing Dynasty and became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.

In 1618, Nurhaci began to attack the Ming Dynasty and wanted to unite Korea. However, most of the Korean ministers supported and helped the Ming Dynasty attack the Later Jin Dynasty. In 1623, Renzu began to publicly help the Ming Dynasty to attack the Later Jin Dynasty. In 1627, the Later Jin army invaded North Korea, which was known in history as the "Dingmao Rush". The two sides signed a covenant of brotherly countries. However, North Korea still maintained its relationship with the Ming Dynasty. In 1635, after the Later Jin achieved victory in conquering Mongolia in the south of the desert, Huang Taiji also consolidated his dominance from within. But at this time, the Dynasty

King Inzu of the King of Xian refused to send a proton and did not receive envoys from the Later Jin Dynasty. Before Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he did not send anyone to persuade him to advance. This further intensified the conflict between the Later Jin and North Korea. North Korea actively prepared for war and requested assistance from the Ming Dynasty. In December 1636, Huang Taiji personally led a large army across the river and captured Yizhou. The Eight Banners army marched straight in. Another army led by Duoduo entered Pyongyang, went straight to the city of Wangjing, and met with Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty. The King of Korea Li Jue fled to the Nanhanshan City and stood for help. He was surrounded by Qing soldiers. Korean reinforcements several times

The rescue was defeated and Seoul fell. In January 1637, Huang Taiji issued an ultimatum to Li Nai, ordering him to surrender. Li Nai surrendered under the pressure of the Qing Dynasty. North Korea was forced to agree to the following request: North Korea became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. North Korea cut off relations with the former sect leader Ming Dynasty. North Korea Inzu went to the Qing Dynasty with his eldest son Li Li and second son Li Yu as hostages. North Korea should pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty. Every year, 100 taels of gold, 100 taels of silver, 200 pairs of buffalo horns, 100 marten skins, 100 deer skins, and 100 bags of tea.

Four hundred otter skins, three hundred green millet skins, ten dou of pepper, twenty-six waist knifes, twenty-six straight knifes, twenty-two-two-screwed knives, twenty-hill knives, twenty-hill knives, twenty-hill knives, twenty-hill knives of ash, thousands of rolls of large paper, fifty rolls of small paper, four five-claw dragon mats, four-necked dragon mats, two-ten white rambane, two-ten silk, four-ten fine linen cloth, four-ten fine cloth, four-ten cloth, and ten-mill rice bags. When the Qing Dynasty attacked the Pi Island where the Ming army was stationed, North Korea should send troops and fifty warships to assist. The Qing Dynasty prohibited North Korea from building a large number of fortifications such as castles. It changed from a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty to a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. It was known in history as "Bingzi Ruo".

In 1644, the Qing army entered the pass and unified the country in the next twenty years. This also brought about great changes to the national policy of North Korea. The forces of the Western Qing faction were eliminated. At the same time, in order to advocate sending troops to aid the Qing Dynasty, the Luo Party, which opposed sending troops to aid the Qing Dynasty. After obtaining the position of leading the political affairs, Jin Zidian of the Luo Party suppressed the original Party and sent troops to help the Qing Dynasty attack the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji, Dorgon and others proposed that the Korean royal family sent princes as hostages to be held in Shenyang and Beijing every year. North Korea's Inzu surrendered to the Qing Dynasty's power and promised. Later, Xiaozong once wanted to

The attack on the Qing Dynasty was stranded due to financial difficulties. With the unification of the Qing Dynasty, changes occurred within North Korea. The Western Party was once again divided into the pro-Qing Han Party and the anti-Qing Shan Party. The Qing rulers were very aware of the changes within North Korea. In order to ease relations with North Korea, the Regent Dorgon and the Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty successively returned the Korean prince who was hostage in the Qing Dynasty, and inherited the Ming Dynasty's foreign policy of listing North Korea as the first vassal state. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty also invited the North Korean army and the Eight Banners army to join forces north to attack the Tsarist Russian army invading the Heilongjiang River Basin in China, known in history as the "Luo Chan Conquest".

"General Sun, we will be in Incheon in a few days! After landing in Incheon, it will be less than 40 kilometers away from Seoul. With the combat power of our army, we can completely fight and completely defeat North Korea!" said Lieutenant General Wei Yong, commander of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy. Obviously, he did not care about North Korea. Japan's strength is much stronger than North Korea, so wasn't it easily defeated by the Chinese army?

"North Korea is just a small country. However, it has been several months since we sent troops. Most of the soldiers are very tired. If the war ends earlier, the soldiers can return to the country to rest as soon as possible!" Lieutenant General Sun Hao said.

"This is. However, North Korea is weak, so we will definitely be able to defeat them easily!" Lieutenant General Wei Yong was full of confidence.

Lieutenant General Sun Hao also agreed with Lieutenant General Wei Yong's statement that North Korea is under the rule of Xianzong, named Li Yan. He was only eight years old when he succeeded to the throne, and now he is only eighteen years old. The power of North Korea is almost controlled by powerful ministers. It can be said that the country is corrupt and the people are living in poverty. It is easy for the Chinese army to defeat such a country.

During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, the feudal identity system in Korean society began to collapse, infectious diseases prevailed, people lived in difficulties, and refugees increased sharply. In 1836, Nan Yingzhong supported the grandson of Eunyanjun Li Qi in Zhongqingdao to rebel; in 1844, Min Jinyong also raised troops to rebel. Although these rebellions failed, the authority of the Korean king was greatly weakened.

At the same time, the forces of Western powers also began to enter North Korea, and foreign ships frequently appeared along the coasts of Gyeongsang Road, Jeolla Road and Hunghai Road, causing panic. In 1839, Xianzong suppressed Catholics, and the missionaries of the Paris Foreign Missionary Church, Maubant, and Liu Jinji, Ding Xiaxiang and others were killed, which is known in history as the persecution of Ji Hai.

On December 5, 1844, the Chinese fleet arrived outside Incheon. The huge fleet terrified the Koreans in Incheon. On the one hand, they rescued Seoul, and on the other hand, they sent people to contact the Chinese fleet to ask about the purpose of the Chinese fleet. The Chinese army attacked Japan with thunder, easily defeated the Tokugawa shogunate, which had ruled Japan for two hundred years, and finally executed the emperor and abolished the emperor's system. This news also reached North Korea, which shocked North Korea. Some North Korean ministers had begun to suggest that King Lee Sai give up the Qing Dynasty and instead devote himself to the embrace of the Chinese Empire and become a vassal state of China. However, this issue was being discussed in the North Korean court, but unexpectedly, the Chinese fleet suddenly appeared outside North Korea.

"General Sun, are you going to start the attack? North Korea's defense in Incheon is very weak, with only a few old artillery. In a maximum of twenty minutes, the 1st Fleet can destroy their defenses." Lieutenant General Wei Yong, commander of the 1st Fleet, said disdainfully. Looking at the North Korean fishing boats that flee in all directions, Lieutenant General Wei Yong looked down on these Goryeo sticks. Compared with Japan, North Korea is too weak, not only because of its weak national strength and military strength, but more importantly, it has no will to fight. The Japanese at least fought several fierce battles with the Chinese army.

"Well! The fleet is ready to go! After clearing the landing obstacles, the 1st Marine Brigade will land first." Lieutenant General Sun Hao said.

At this moment, the Liang Wangshou on the cruiser of the "Shangtang" discovered a North Korean fishing boat that was approaching quickly with a white flag.
