Smuggling Daming

Yeosu Port is located on a sharp corner in the south of Jeolla Zuo-do, and there is still a considerable distance from Busanpo, and Jeolla Zuo-do is still firmly in the hands of North Korea. In addition, the terrain in the coastal area is complicated. It is impossible for the Japanese to go from Busan to Yeosu to sneak attack. Chang Xiao is also very aware of this, but he insists that Yeosu Port cannot guarantee the safety of the navy, and refuses to rest in Yeosu, and then chooses Jeju Island as the rest location.

Although the North Korean envoy Cui Yikuo tried his best to ensure that Lishui would never be attacked by the Japanese, but Chang Xiao was stubborn, and he had no choice. Moreover, Chang Xiao was a reinforcement sent by the Ming Dynasty, and Cui Yikuo did not dare to offend him. , So in the end, I had no choice but to agree to Chang Xiao's request, and listed the Shiroyamaura area facing the other end of the Tsushima Strait as the station of Chang Xiao's navy.

The division of the resident is not enough. Chang Xiao immediately urged Cui Yikuo to organize the construction of the port. After all, the original Seongsanpo port was too small to accommodate their warships. In the end, the North Korean side organized tens of thousands to expand the original port. , was named by Chang Xiao as "Destroy the Japanese Gang" to show his determination not to destroy the Japanese people and not give up.

Chang Xiao, who supported the south of Korea, had opened up the situation in the Tsushima Strait, but the measures of Ming Dynasty to support the north of Korea were full of difficulties. The key was that the Jurchen of Jianzhouwei had the right pulse of the imperial court and wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Jianzhou Guard is actually the collective name of the three guards, namely Jianzhou Guard, Jianzhou Left Guard and Jianzhou Right Guard. Daming's canonization is required.Usually, any activities should be reported to Daming, and the commanders of the three guards would also go to Beijing to pay tribute every year. As for the internal affairs of the three guards, they would handle it themselves. It is equivalent to a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, with considerable freedom.

However, it was also because of Daming's extensive management of the three guards of Jianzhou that although the Jianzhou Guards were nominally under the command of Daming, they were in fact a country within a country, superficially obeying Daming's orders.But as long as they are not ordered to die, the Jianzhou Guard will find loopholes, and Daming can't do anything to them anyway.

For example, this time the imperial court ordered the Jianzhou Guards to attack the Savage Jurchen tribe in order to force the Savage Jurchens who invaded North Korea to retreat. However, after receiving the order, the Jianzhou Guards hesitated to send troops.Instead, he complained to the court that his tribe suffered a disaster last year, and there was really no food supply for the army to fight, so he wanted to ask the court to support part of the army food.

If it was Daming's army, they would naturally have military rations when they went out, but the Jianzhou Sanwei did not belong to the official military establishment of Daming, and they would bring their own rations when they went out with the army.If they want the court to provide food and grass now, it is unreasonable in itself.Naturally, the imperial court would not agree, so the two parties began to argue with each other, and did not send troops for half a month.

Daming and Jianzhou Jurchen were not in a hurry. After all, the savage Jurchens killed none of their own people, but North Korea couldn't take it anymore. If there was any further delay, those savage Jurchens would kill all the people in northern North Korea.So in the end North Korea agreed to provide food and grass to Jianzhouwei, and Ming made a statement.It was agreed that the war profits obtained by the Jianzhou Guards did not have to be handed over, which satisfied the Jianzhou Jurchen, and finally sent troops.

The savage Jurchen lived on the shore of the East China Sea, so it was also called the Donghai Jurchen, and it was also within the jurisdiction of Jianzhou Wei. Unfortunately, the savage Jurchen was no worse than Jianzhou Jurchen in strength, and her temperament was more fierce, so she was always dissatisfied. Discipline, two Jurchens plus another Haixi Jurchen, there are constant wars between the three parties, and no one can do anything to the other.

Among the three Jurchen branches, the Savage Jurchen has the lowest level of civilization. Jianzhou Jurchen and Haixi Jurchen are already half-farming and half-safari peoples. Even the Haixi Jurchen can already make iron, but the Savage Jurchen But they are still in the state of hunting people, and they can't even guarantee food and clothing. Especially every winter, a large number of people will starve to death. When food is insufficient in spring, it is also the period when the wild Jurchens plunder.

Now, in order to obtain food, the Savage Jurchen has organized a large army to enter North Korea, leaving only a few old and weak in the tribe. It can be said that this is the time when the Savage Jurchen is at its weakest. If Jianzhou Jurchen has all the troops in the tribe, it is absolutely possible Annex the wildling Jurchen.

But there are not only Jianzhou Jurchen and Savage Jurchen in Liaodong, but also a Haixi Jurchen. This Jurchen has always been the enemy of Jianzhou Jurchen.The relationship between Haixi Jurchen and Daming is not very close. Although the tribal leaders are also rewarded by Daming, they don't accept Ming's dispatch like Jianzhou Jurchen.

After receiving the news that Jianzhou Jurchen was going to crusade against wild Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen responded immediately. The four major tribes mobilized troops and concentrated at the junction with Jianzhou Jurchen, making a gesture of attacking Jianzhou Jurchen , so that Jianzhou Jurchen had to mobilize a large army to defend, and in the end only an army of 4000 to [-] people was allocated to attack the wild Jurchen.

The reason why the Haixi Jurchen took the gesture of restraining the Jianzhou Jurchen was mainly because they did not want the Jianzhou Jurchen to annex the Savage Jurchen. After all, if the Savage Jurchen were annexed by the Jianzhou Jurchen, then their strength would definitely increase greatly. With Daming's support, their strength will definitely become stronger in the future, and maybe their Haixi Jurchens will follow in the footsteps of the Savage Jurchens in the future.

Jianzhou Jurchen was also very annoyed at the containment of Haixi Jurchen, but there was nothing they could do. In the end, they could only use an army of three to 4000 people to attack the wild Jurchen. He and his children could only be killed but not taken away, and even the food that the wild Jurchen robbed from North Korea could not be taken away, so they had to be set on fire in the end.

When the North Korean savage Jurchen army received their lair and was raided, these savages also jumped into a rage, immediately dropped the spoils they had snatched, turned around and killed their own tribe, even the leader of the tribe couldn't stop them, after all they It was originally a very loose army, using the prestige of the leader to organize the warriors of the tribe together, but now the wives and children of the warriors are being slaughtered by the enemy, they have no reason to stop the tribe from going back to protect their families.

The Jianzhou Jurchen's plundering of the wild Jurchen finally saved the people in northern North Korea. In just a few days, the wild Jurchen all retreated to their own tribes, and the North Korean army began to station here, but what they faced was a scorched earth , The original towns and villages were all looted, burned and killed by wild men, and not even a single person could be seen within a hundred miles.

However, the savage Jurchens are not having a good time. They are all small tribes. After the men in the tribe went to North Korea, the tribe had no defensive ability at all. As a result, they were easily broken by the Jianzhou Jurchens, and countless women and children were slaughtered. The hard-earned food was also burned, which made many savage Jurchens go crazy, and took the men in the tribe to seek revenge from Jianzhou Jurchen, but unfortunately they could only die in vain in the end.

After suffering such a big loss, the savage Jurchen will naturally not let it go. The tribes that invaded North Korea formed an alliance again and launched a retaliatory war against the Jianzhou Jurchen. As a result, the two sides fought again in Liaodong. In internal wars, Da Ming has always held an attitude of not helping each other, but this time the Jianzhou Jurchen's war was caused by obeying Da Ming's orders, so at most Da Ming just supported the Jianzhou Jurchen in terms of supplies.

Jianzhou Jurchen and Savage Jurchen are very different in strength. The two tribes fought for more than half a year, but no one was able to win in the end. At this time, the Haixi Jurchen began to move around. Unfortunately, at this time, Jianzhou Jurchen and Savage Jurchen also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and it was really impossible to continue the fight. In the end, the two sides temporarily stopped fighting and returned to their tribes to recuperate. Any Jurchens could only disband the army in the end, and Liaodong returned to its original situation again.

The wild Jurchens retreated, and the northern part of North Korea naturally returned to calm. Although the Korean people suffered countless casualties, at least the land was still there, so North Korea sent more troops there, and at the same time moved the people to fill the northern area.

Compared with the northern border, which was ravaged by the Jurchens, the Gyeongsang Heresy in the south, which was occupied by the Japanese, was not much better. The Japanese were no worse than the Jurchens, and these Japanese had resentment towards North Korea. After the rebellion, they naturally would not Be merciful, most of the heretics in Gyeongsang were killed by them, and the rest all fled to other places. Fortunately, the Daming Navy led by Chang Xiao cut off the retreat of these Japanese, making all the Japanese led by Zong Trapped in North Korea, after all, the sea was blocked by the Daming Navy, and their ship was destroyed, so there was nowhere to escape.

However, these Japanese people are much smarter than those savage Jurchens. In this case, the leader of the rebellion, Zong Shi, immediately withdrew his troops, and more than 4 people rushed to the border between Gyeongsang Left and Gyeongsang Right. They acted like they were aggressively attacking North Korea, thinking that these Japanese people wanted to fight against the beast, and before they died, they would scourge Gyeongsang Rightist Party again.

However, the Zong family was not so stupid. After seeing that North Korea was scared, he immediately sent an envoy to ask North Korea for peace, telling the other party that if they did not let them go back, then he would lead an army into the Gyeongsang Right Way. Kill anyone they see, anyway, they can't escape, so it's better to kill them.

Regarding Zong's intimidation, the Koreans, who had already been frightened by the Japanese's ferocity, dared not refuse at all. Although they had an army several times larger than the opponent's, they were still not sure how to block the Japanese army, so they finally agreed with Zong's agreed to the other party's peace proposal, and sent Zong's army out of the country as a gift, but what no one expected was that the Daming Navy made an unexpected move afterwards.
