The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 529 Destruction of North Korea
Xu Mingyang's new position is the six-rank general judge of the Jingzhou government. This official position is under the magistrate, in charge of grain transportation, family land, water conservancy, and litigation, and has the responsibility of supervising bureaucrats at all levels in the state capital.

Jingzhou, known as "Jiangling" in ancient times, is located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and is close to the river.

From here to Shizhu Xuanfusi, the base camp of the Baigan soldiers, there is a [-]-mile waterway. It takes more than half a month to travel upstream by boat day and night, and it takes three days to travel down the river from Shizhu to Jingzhou.

This piece of fertile soil is famous as a land of fish and rice. The area of ​​lakes in the plains accounts for nearly [-]%, and the area of ​​hills and low mountainous areas only accounts for [-]%. There are millions of living people.

Mr. Huang Han fantasized about avoiding the devastation of Huguang and Sichuan from being devastated by bandits in the future, and he wanted to get involved in these two big provinces as much as he could. He was very happy to learn that Xu Mingyang was about to go to Jingzhou to become an official.

Just when Daming had won a series of victories in suppressing the bandits, the Houjin side was ready to move again.

At the beginning of April Gao Hongzhong, Ning Wanwo, Bao Chengxian, Fan Wencheng and other traitors received definite information that Huang Han was transferred by the emperor to Henan to suppress bandits and took away thousands of mobile troops.

Several big traitors immediately reported this important military situation to their masters, and gave Hong Zaishi a detailed analysis of the chaos in Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, and bandits in Daming.

Hong Jie, who was suffering from the embarrassment of being surrounded by the Ming Dynasty, made a decision immediately. The rise of the "Red Banner Army" made history change.

Considering the possibility of persuading Zu Dashou to surrender, the slave chief did not attack Jinzhou, let alone cross Jinzhou to attack the ignorant Ningyuan defense line.

He also did not choose to attack the heavily fortified Jinzhou to capture Lushunkou. The slave chieftains know how to judge the situation and think that even if they go through a fierce battle and win the whole of southern Liaoning, it will not break the current situation that the Dajin Kingdom is surrounded, because the Dajin Army has no navy and cannot complete the sea battle. transportation.

Moreover, in the face of the constant harassment of the water battalion by the "Red Banner Army", the troops to be dispatched to Lushunkou, which is of little significance for guarding, are uncontrollable.

The wily slave chief set his sights on North Korea.

Obviously, the younger brother Shoushu Duan, who was defeated five years ago and signed the covenant to declare his allegiance, saw that Daming seemed to have stabilized the situation in Liaodong and began to cooperate with Dongjiang Town to establish a defense line in Yizhou.

Yingerdai, who had been on a mission to North Korea for a long time, reported that North Korea borrowed thousands of troops from Japan to strengthen the defense of the middle and upper reaches of the Yalu River by means of clever tricks.He went to North Korea to negotiate and asked North Korea to provide food and forage to the soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom on the border with North Korea, but was rejected.

Although the leader of North Korea, Li Ji, did not openly oppose the Dajin Kingdom, his intentions were clearly revealed.

During this time, Amin and Manggurtai, the two former great beiles, died. Daishan was heartbroken and his eldest son Yuetuo contracted smallpox and fell ill. He hadn't participated in the court council for a month or two.

It has become a thing of the past for the four major Baylors to discuss government affairs together. Hong is monopolizing the power and trying his best to cultivate the eldest son Hauge.

In the past two years, more than half of the real young and strong daughters arrested have been incorporated into the two yellow flags directly led by the father and son of Hongjieshi. guard.

The slave chieftain has an overwhelming advantage both politically and militarily, and there is no need to be distracted by internal worries for the time being. It is time to solve foreign troubles. He convened a meeting of civil servants and generals to discuss the future of the Dajin Kingdom.

Often at this time, the traitors are the most active. They are actually more knowledgeable and eloquent than the Tunguska savages. They are not only able to quote scriptures, but also good at analyzing problems.

In the eyes of Jiannu civil officials and military generals, the traitor slaves are good at playing tricks, and if they really fight with them, they will be persuaded one by one. They are very dissatisfied with Khan's strategy of reusing Hanchen.

See the master and ask Ji Qunchen, the old traitor Ning Wan, I will be the first to speak out.

He said: "Khan, Zu Dashou of Jinzhou has received many letters from our army to contact us. He should know that the brothers and nephews of the ancestors have received preferential treatment and important use in our Dajin Kingdom.

For more than a year, it can be seen that the Guan Ning Army has not openly provoked our army.The minister thought that it was possible to persuade Zu Dashou to surrender, so he begged the Great Khan to write a letter to contact him personally. "

Ma Guangyuan also came out of the shift and said: "Khan, my minister has repeatedly asked the merchants of the Ming Dynasty who have been in constant contact with them to find out the reality of the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that Zu Dashou is having a hard time now, because Huang Han and his son cut off the supply route of Jinzhou Guanning Army and undertook the transportation of Jinzhou military supplies, which greatly damaged the interests of Guanning Army.

The Ming troops stationed in Jinzhou can be said to be full of complaints.At this time, the Great Khan lured him with profit and treated him with high-ranking officials and rich salary. It is very possible that the ancestor's birthday will be presented to Jinzhou to surrender to us. "

Naturally, Fan Wencheng was not reconciled to others, he came out of the class and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, and is also willing to go to Jinzhou to persuade the ancestor to surrender on his birthday.

The minister got reliable information that the ancestors could smuggle grain and sell it to the Mongols in exchange for war horses, leather goods, etc., and then traffic them into the customs to make a profit.

Now they can only get a small half of the grain and salary of the Ming Dynasty court at the Xiaolinghe Wharf in the south of Jinzhou City. The days are getting harder and harder, and I am afraid that they have long since changed their minds. "

Hong Xie was really far-sighted, so that he would not write a letter and promise to send people into Jinzhou City to persuade Zu Dashou as soon as he was bewitched by the traitor.

He believes that people like Zu Dashou are shrewd people who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. At this time, Dajin Kingdom is in the predicament of Ming Dynasty's four directions. Zu Dashou is very likely to bring shame on himself.

Hong Jie is determined, knowing that only by breaking the cage imposed by Ming Dynasty, going to the east to teach the small North Korean country at both ends of the head rat, and going to the west to destroy the undead Huduntu Lin Danhan, can shake Zu Dashou's determination to stick to Jinzhou.

At that time, if the personal enmity between the Guanning Army and the "Red Banner Army" is deliberately aroused, it is best to cause friction between the two armies, and then it will be possible for the Dajin Kingdom to profit from it.

Hong Xie said: "There is no hurry to persuade Zu Dashou, as long as Zu Dashou lives in peace with our army in the next time, I am angry, but the North Korean king refused to provide food and grass for our army, and even helped Dongjiang Town in Yizhou Tuntian, do you all think that the crusade is feasible?"

Kong Youde defected to Jiannu without making any achievements, and he often got the eyes of the Eight Banners. He is the former part of Dongjiang Town and knows the virtues and combat effectiveness of the Koreans. He jumped out and said:

"Khan Shengming, conquering North Korea will not only increase tens of millions of acres of fertile land and millions of people, but will also cause Dongjiang Town to lose its farmland. The general is willing to lead his men as pioneers to ensure that the North Koreans will be defeated thousands of miles away, and even They crossed the Han River and destroyed North Korea."
