Chapter 556 Chenghua Li Ting!

On the canopy.

The land of Liaodong.

Three red arrows headed southeast from Liaodong, Ming Dynasty.

On the map, the three armies are like three parallel lines.

It was directly wrapped around Huanren Town.

The Northern Army came out from Tieling.

The Central Army set out from Fushun.

The southern army passed through the Yulianshan Pass.

And on the nearby North Korean border.

There are also two green arrows extending from the border to the northwest.

The goal is the same.

Huanren Town.

……

[September of the third year of Chenghua (1467).]

[Zhu Jianshen appointed Li Bing, the Left Censor-in-Chief, to supervise military affairs and ordered Zhao Fu, the Marquis of Wujing, to rush to Liaodong to preside over the military operations against the Jianzhou Jurchens.]

[On September 24, 30,000 Ming troops divided into three groups and launched an attack from Liaodong on the settlements of the three guards of Jianzhou.]

[Zhao Fu and Li Bing personally led the main force of the Central Army from Fushun, passing through Bodao Mountain, Nianyu Mountain, Wuling Mountain, crossing the Suzi River, reaching Gucheng, and attacking the Jianzhou Zuowei garrison.]

[General Han Bin led the right-wing army out of Lianshan Pass and Tongyuan Fort, entered Yangbian Gate, and attacked the three guards of Jianzhou.]

[The left wing army was led by Wu Zhong, the deputy governor, and entered the area of ​​the three guards of Jianzhou from the southeast from the direction of Tieling.]

……

Datang.

"Does this road look familiar?"

Li Shimin twirled his beard and looked at him.

This was the tactic Li Jing used to defeat the Turks a few years ago.

Li Chengqian looked at the army in the sky and complained:

"Zhu Jianshen is much smarter than Zhu Qizhen."

Empress Changsun behind him chuckled:
"With Zhu Qizhen's fright, no one would agree to the emperor's personal expedition after him."

Little Li Zhi sat on the stone pier and swayed, grinning:
"More than disagree."

"Someone has to hit the pillar to make it clear!"

"How can we withstand another Tumu Incident?"

……

[Korea was also troubled by the border disturbances of the Three Guards of Jianzhou, and gave up the fantasy of appeasing Li Manzhu and others. ]

[Choose to join forces with the Ming Dynasty, the suzerain state, to attack the three guards of Jianzhou. 】

【So the governor of the Central Government, Kang Chun, led an expeditionary force of more than 10,000 people, and the troops were divided into two groups.】

[The left wing army, led by Yu Youzhao, crossed the Yalu River from Gaoshali and attacked Wumi Prefecture, killing 71 Jurchens from Jianzhou Guard and burning down 97 houses.]

[The right wing army, led by Nami, crossed the Yalu River from the Manpo area.]

[On September 26, they attacked Weng Village, Li Manzhu's old nest, before the Ming army did.]

[Yi Manju, who was already in his seventies, and his son Yi Gunaha, along with 195 others, were beheaded by Nam Yi.]

[After a month of encirclement and suppression, the Ming army beheaded more than 1,730 people, captured more than 240 people, and rescued 1,165 Liao people who were abducted by the Jurchens]

[“We captured countless cattle, horses, weapons and sticks, and burned down their nests. Even if there were any survivors, they all fled to the mountains and hid.”]

[Dong Shan and other chieftains of the three Jianzhou guards who were detained by the Ming Dynasty attempted to escape on the way to Beijing and were killed by the Ming army.]

[Because the reign of Zhu Jianshen was called "Chenghua", the Ming History called the military action of wiping out the three guards of Jianzhou in 1467 "Chenghua Liting"]

[The Koreans followed the old custom of naming the event using the sexagenary cycle, calling it the "Dinghai Campaign."]

……

{It is really rare to kill hundreds or thousands of people by sweeping the fields and holes.}
{Wei Huo of the Western Han Dynasty went out to the border and took thousands of heads.}
{Brother, how many people are there in Jianzhou?}
{The Chenghua Li Ting Campaign was more of a hunting expedition than a war, just like going into the deep mountains and old forests to hunt for the Jianzhou Jurchens. The difficulty was not in the fighting but in the finding.}
{Was the Chenghua Liting War a civil war or a foreign war?}
{Civil war, right? This should be considered as suppressing rebellion and strengthening local control. After all, when the war was fought, the Nurgan Regional Military Commission was already in charge, and the various Jurchen tribes were under the control of the central dynasty at this time, and they were part of the central dynasty's efforts to suppress rebellions in the border areas.}
{If we had wiped them out completely, there wouldn't be any trouble in the future.}
{That's because there are still the Mongols, the wild Jurchens, and the Russians. You are useless.}
{There is always someone better than you, and that applies everywhere, unless you rule the world. Think about it.}
……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Huo Qubing looked at the sky and laughed.

"What the Heaven said was the same as what the Jurchens later pushed back against."

Liu Che smiled and nodded at him.

"Unless we lose the Yanyun area again."

"But that can't happen."

"I have to say, Zhu Di was really domineering in moving the capital!"

Liu Che looked at the sky and sighed:

"The emperor guards the country's gates..."

"As long as there isn't a disaster like Zhu Qizhen."

"The northern border of the Ming Dynasty cannot be easily forced."

"Even if it is destroyed, there is still Zhu Yuanzhang's birthplace."

"It won't happen anytime soon." "Besides..."

Liu Che picked a grape and threw it into his mouth.

"There are only a few Jurchens here."

"At most, harass the border."

"Being bolder would mean inheriting the great cause of the Jin Kingdom."

"That's it. The population is too small."

"Nothing to fear."

……

Ming dynasty.

"What's going on?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was tired.

"What kind of trouble has come out of this extermination of a Jurchen?"

"Why do all these bad things happen when we arrive in Ming Dynasty?!"

"Can you please make us feel comfortable?"

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di sighed repeatedly.

"How come he is Zhu Qizhen's son?"

"How come his father is Zhu Qizhen?"

"Why is Zhu Qizhen stuck in the middle?"

Zhu Di decided to do the work of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji alone.

But even if we survive the historical process, what about the future?
Want to bet that Zhu Qiyu's offspring will be better than Zhu Jianshen's?
But why did Zhu Jian die young?
Then Zhu Qiyu... still can't...

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanji standing beside him.

Why not let him give birth to Zhu Qizhen?
Then wait until Zhu Qizhen gives birth to Zhu Jianshen and then strangle Zhu Qizhen to death?
Or just do it in one step?!

Zhu Di secretly glanced at Empress Xu.

But I only know that Zhu Jianshen’s mother’s surname is Zhou…

It’s hard to find.

……

Ming Dynasty·Chongzhen period
“If you cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.”

Zhu Youjian looked at the territory map.

"It's just a maggot on the tarsal bone."

Now the entire Liaodong situation is like mobilizing thousands of troops, but only two or three out of ten can defeat the enemy in battle!

There is chaos outside and trouble inside.

"God is not on my side!"

……

Later Jin.

Nurhaci sat outside the door and touched his scalp.

He looked at the sky with flickering eyes.

"You have a good reputation..."

The Ming Dynasty is now facing internal and external troubles, so we must take advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits.

The revenge of our ancestors must be avenged!

But isn’t this just too thin?

He began to think deeply, what excuse could he come up with?

……

[Although the Ming army achieved a great victory this time, it did not achieve the goal of eradicating the Jurchens of the Three Guards of Jianzhou.]

[The descendants of Li Manzhu and Dongshan survived tenaciously with their tribes. ]

[The remaining troops of the Three Guards of Jianzhou still harassed the Ming Dynasty border from time to time.]

[In the 1478th year of Chenghua (1479) and the th year of Chenghua (), the Ming court launched two more sweeping attacks on the three guards of Jianzhou.]

[In December of the 15th year of Chenghua, Wang Zhi, the eunuch who supervised the army and guarded Liaodong, led his troops to cross the snow-capped Changbai Mountains in half a month and then launched an attack on the Jurchens who were stationed in the mountain stronghold.]

[“The bandit’s lair in Jianzhou is located in the mountains, the forests are high and steep, and the roads are dangerous and narrow. We divided into five groups and went out of Fushun Pass, reaching their territory in half a month.

The bandits took advantage of the high ground to meet the enemy, and the government troops attacked them from all sides and sent light cavalry to burn their nests.

The bandits were badly defeated, 695 of them were captured and 486 people were taken captive, more than 450 camps were destroyed, more than a thousand cattle and horses, and countless armor and weapons were captured. ”】

[After this battle, the Jianzhou Jurchens remained quiet for more than a hundred years. ]

[It’s just a pity that many of the specific details of this surprise attack, which was similar to the Battle of Yinshan, were later deleted in various historical materials.]

[And the facts proved that this eunuch who was criticized by later generations was quite capable in leading troops in battle. ]
