In three days, Pyongyang became a sea of ​​artillery fire. Every night, Yinzhen would take Qingyan to the watchtower to look at the city engulfed in flames.

She had complicated feelings about Pyongyang. If it weren't for this campaign, the city would have provoked the Qing Dynasty many times. Yinzhen handed over the news from Pyongyang to Qingyan.

Those military officers indulged their subordinates, wantonly smashing, looting, and burning innocent Qing people in Pyongyang. They also wantonly trampled on women, not even sparing young girls. All of this made her hate them.

The Qing Dynasty has always claimed to be a civilized nation and would not treat these people like animals. However, Yinzhen has now issued an order to continue the tradition of massacring entire cities outside the Great Wall.

He wanted to use the lives of these people to pay tribute to the women who were arbitrarily insulted, and to the people who were killed while protecting their wives and daughters.

"Little darling, are you afraid of me?" Yinzhen was cold-blooded, but he didn't want Qingyan to be afraid of him.

Qingyan shook his head and said, "You are avenging those who died. They were clearly unarmed civilians, yet those military officers ordered their soldiers to harm them like this."

After the incident, Qingyan's eyes turned cold, hoping to use those people as sacrifices to avenge the Qing people who had died.

In just three days, all the living Qing citizens in Pyongyang were secretly evacuated. Yinzhen specially arranged for them to be placed in a safe place, and the cannons on the ships began to destroy Pyongyang.

At this moment, in that sea of ​​fire, many military officers were struggling, hoping to control some of the Qing people and negotiate with Yinzhen and others.

When they went to see where they were being held, they found that the place had been hit by artillery fire and was burning.

"Damn it, didn't I tell you to watch this place?" A military officer, only forty years old, looked at the sea of ​​fire before him and became increasingly anxious.

Normally, they come here to seek pleasure, looking for young, beautiful girls among these people to vent their desires on.

On the battlefield, they could not defeat the Qing Dynasty, but in these girls, they could regain their former dignity.

"General, I think you should follow the royal family and retreat to Seoul," the general's subordinates advised.

The Qing Dynasty's navy was still training, and their two provocative visits instilled fear in everyone.

The palaces of the Joseon Dynasty were also moved, from Pyongyang to a separate palace in Seoul.

The military officer shook his head. If he were to leave, what would become of the people in the city?

The Qing Dynasty has already taken the Crown Prince away. Since the Crown Prince entered the capital, there have been rumors that he hopes to have the spirit of Emperor Kangxi sent to the princess, one of the twins of the Fourth Prince.

The military commander also felt that it was wrong to use such methods to harm young girls, but he had no choice but to agree.

This time, the Fourth Prince is one of the commanders-in-chief. If the young master can win the Fourth Prince's beloved daughter, their lives should be a little easier.

Subsequently, the crown prince sent letter after letter, all containing bad news, forcing the king to choose to evacuate.

The general's younger brother obeyed the emperor's orders and guarded the landing area. The Qing ships were anchored far away, and no one disembarked. The Qing ships directly bombarded the port.

Afterwards, the military officer learned that his younger brother had been killed in battle. He lost his mind and began to burn, kill, and loot.

"Now, before things reach a point where there's no room for maneuver, General, you'd better sue for peace!" All of the general's advisors came over, hoping to persuade him to stop.

Faced with the overwhelming military might of the Qing Dynasty, they had absolutely no room for maneuver.

"Why?!" The military commander decided to garrison Pyongyang. The ships were small, and they should be able to return to Pyongyang in a short time.

“There’s a problem with the food supplies in the city. The Yuelai Inn was opened by the Qing Dynasty. Not only did you abuse the innkeeper’s wife and daughters, but you also robbed the inn’s stored food. If the Qing Dynasty attacks, you will have no way to survive!” The advisor kept advising the general to leave a way out.

snort!

The military officer snorted coldly. That tactless shopkeeper had already been killed; how could he possibly come forward to complain?

"The true owner of Yuelai Inn is the Fourth Prince's wife of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that this is her dowry," the advisor said. "The Fourth Prince dotes on his wife, and she accompanied him on this expedition!"

Um? !

The general's eyes lit up. It was said that if women boarded the ship, they would definitely have bad luck.

Thud!

The courtyard wall inside the general's mansion collapsed. Upon hearing the noise, the officers and staff hurriedly came out of the secret room in the study, fearing that if they were a step too late, they would be buried in the secret room by artillery fire.

"You mean it?!" the other staff members asked.

"Of course, but don't think you'll have bad luck." The aide didn't believe such nonsense; he only believed what he saw.

Now, North Korea has no chance of winning whatsoever. If it doesn't beg for mercy, it may not even have a chance to survive.

"The king has already withdrawn and completely abandoned the people. General, you must consider the people of this city!" The advisor could only hope to save the people.

Their hands are stained with too much resentment, but the people in the city are different.

"It is said that the Fourth Prince of the Qing Dynasty has issued an order to massacre the city, and the people have participated in looting, arson, and vandalism. It seems that the Qing Dynasty is going to pay for its blood debts in blood!" another aide said.

The people did those irrational things under the general's instigation, and now it's too late to undo them.

Massacre the city!

These two words came to everyone's mind. Since Emperor Taizong, the Qing Dynasty had never used the punishment of massacring entire cities. Even when they marched south to occupy the lands within the Great Wall, none of the generals leading the troops massacred entire cities.

Hahaha!

The general laughed bitterly, knowing that Pyongyang would ultimately perish in his hands.

No wonder the emperor left so quickly, even taking the last of his troops with him. He must have understood that the Qing Dynasty would never forgive them.

"General, what do you think we should do?" The soldiers were anxious. What would they do if the general didn't make a decision?

"Let's go negotiate and see how the Qing Dynasty can stop the fighting!" The military officers hoped that their submission would make the Fourth Prince put aside his hatred.

"No! General, what if the Qing Dynasty wants your life?" One of the general's subordinates immediately objected. The general had already suffered enough for the emperor, and they couldn't let him take the blame again.

"I'll give it to you!" The military officer was also a tough guy. If he could find a way for the people to survive, it would be worth losing his life.

"No, we must tell the truth to maximize our chances. It's an order from the Emperor. Do you think that Fourth Prince is stupid?" The advisor shook his head directly. The Fourth Prince's wife's Yuelai Inn must have provided a lot of information.

Within Pyongyang, even a fool could conceive of an order to plunder the people of the Qing Dynasty.
