Blood from Daming

Chapter 442 Ye He
Li Yangeng, deputy envoy of Jin State, hesitated for a while and said: "My King Khan is old and sick, and he is devoted to goodness. He has long been tired of fighting with the Ming Dynasty. , I really don’t mean to offend the Ming Kingdom, the small envoy and the Third Highness came to the Ming Kingdom to fulfill the previous peace agreement.”

The Minister of Honglu Temple said calmly: "Then what conditions does your country have?"

Li Yangeng, deputy envoy of Jin State, said: "Firstly, the two countries opened a market for mutual trade in Liaodong, and secondly, the two countries calmed down their fighting and withdrew the Ming State's troops in North Korea and our Jin State's Yehe tribe. In return, our country is willing to give the gift of father and brother Waiting for the Ming Dynasty, and guaranteeing that the tribute will be paid every year to the court every year, and the Ming and Jin countries will enjoy peace forever."

The Minister of Honglu Temple suddenly heard that the Yehe tribe of the Jin Kingdom and the Ming army appeared, and he was also beating drums in his heart. What is going on, so he said vaguely to Li Yangeng, the deputy envoy of the Jin Kingdom: "Vice Envoy Li, what are you going to do?" I will write a material about Ming’s situation in North Korea, the state of Jin, and the sincerity of the state of Jin, and I will try to pass it to the palace for you.”

Li Yangeng, deputy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, returned to his residence, and handed over a thousand-word article to Honglu Temple Minister. Honglu Temple Secretary looked at the article with the wet ink on it, and the information revealed in it made him hesitate. But the surface does not reveal the slightest flaw.

The Minister of Honglu Temple smiled and said: "Vice Envoy Li writes a good article, with good handwriting and fonts. If you take part in my Ming Dynasty Examination, Vice Envoy Li's title on the Gold List will be a no-brainer."

Li Yangeng, deputy envoy of Jin State, said with a melancholy face: "Abandoning the country and sinning against the people is just scribbling graffiti, which makes adults laugh."

After hearing Li Yangeng's words, the Minister of Honglu Temple jumped in his heart and said: "Vice Envoy Li, as the saying goes, a prodigal son will not be exchanged for money when he turns back. Daming will always open his arms to those who love the motherland."

Li Yangeng stood silently in the corner of the courtyard, Honglu Temple Minister said: "Vice Envoy Li, you should have a good rest, I will have a good chat with you when you have time, I will find a way to deliver this article for you now."

The Minister of Honglu Temple resigned Li Yangeng, the deputy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, and rushed to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City, and directly handed over the materials written by Li Yangeng, the deputy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, to the palace. Wei Zhongxian who got the written materials immediately rushed to Emperor Tianqi to make The royal carpenter's room, where the carpenter worked, handed over the written materials of Li Yangeng, the deputy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, to Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi read the written materials of Li Yangeng, the deputy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, and found that there were many secret events in it. He abandoned the carpentry work in his hand, drove back to the imperial study, and ordered the cabinet ministers to enter the palace for an audience.

Not long after Emperor Tianqi returned to the imperial study, the two cabinet ministers Huang Liji and Zhang Ruitu who were deacons in Wenyuan Pavilion arrived panting. Emperor Tianqi signaled Wei Zhongxian to give Huang Liji and Zhang Ruitu the article submitted by the Minister of Honglu Temple Look.

Huang Liji and Zhang Ruitu took the article from Wei Zhongxian and read it carefully. After studying the article carefully for a while, Huang Liji spoke first: "Your Majesty Qizuo, from this article we can see that Jianlu's current The situation is very bad, it should be that my soldiers of the Ming army stationed in North Korea have won a considerable victory, and the Ming army who appeared in Yehe's tribe is a little bit more thought-provoking."

Emperor Tianqi nodded slightly after hearing this, and Zhang Ruitu hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I believe that within a few days, the news of North Korea's success will come back by sea, but what happened to the Yehe tribe in the west of Jianlu? It's hard to figure out."

Huang Liji said: "Your Majesty, Jianlu insisted that it was our Ming army who disturbed Ye He's tribe. It seems that the Ming army's presence in Jin Guo Ye He's tribe is not a lie."

Emperor Tianqi thought for a while and said: "The Yehe tribe is close to the Mongolian Horqin tribe. Wu Keshan of the Horqin tribe has more funding from the Datong Xue Yun, and the army has a mixed system of armored battles. Could it be that the Jianlu did not distinguish between the authentic and the false, and mistakenly thought that the Ming army was disturbing the border. "

When Huang Liji and Zhang Ruitu heard the emperor's nonsense, they said in their hearts that such important military affairs, except for Jianlu's deliberate deception, would never make mistakes. Let's climb.

Huang Liji and Zhang Ruitu hurriedly said in unison: "The emperor is wise."

Afterwards, the cabinet ministers Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Shi Fenglai, and Feng Quan who came over read the article circulated by Wei Zhongxian. Datong's Xue Yun tribe, if it is true, I am the Ming Dynasty, starting from the Yehe tribe in the west, crossing the Yalu River in the east, and then ordering Liaodong Jinglu Gaodi to lead the army northward, then it is the right time to destroy the Jianlu."

Emperor Tianqi blushed slightly when he heard that Wei Guangwei, which made Huang Liji and Zhang Ruitu beside him have nothing to do and had fun secretly. It’s far away, let’s talk about how to deal with Jianlu’s peace mission.”

Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the old minister, it is not too late to consider whether to negotiate a peace after the news of Master Yu from North Korea arrives."

Feng Quan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can order Liaodong and Jizhen to quickly report the information of Ye He and Horqin, so that the court can make accurate decisions on Jianlu."

Emperor Apocalypse said: "Zuzao."

Sure enough, three days later, the Korean memorial to the Ming army arrived, and Emperor Tianqi saw it in the memorial written by Yu Anxing;

The minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy capital censor commanded the commander-in-chief of the Korean Ming army, Daming, and ordered the Korean special envoy Yu Anxing to kowtow:
The minister led the officers and troops stationed in the DPRK to coordinate with Zhang Wan and Li Gui, the guards of the Dadu Protectorate of Nyongbyon, Pingan Road, North Korea, and fought fiercely with Jianlu in July and August. The two sides fought repeatedly along the Yalu River. Accumulated military exploits, killed thousands of enemies, and got more than 29 Jianlu heads. Thanks to the emperor's blessing, General Gui and Polu led an army of more than 54 troops. They crossed the east bank of the Yalu River from Manpu and drove straight into Hetuala, Jianlu's old village. At midnight on July [-], he broke through Hetuala, the old Jianlu village, and burned its city. Then he moved thousands of miles away, once threatened Shenyang, the capital of Jianlu, and wiped out more than a thousand Jurchen Tartars in the Zhenghuang Banner outside Fushun City, and then went north to destroy Jianlu. The [-] strongholds of the Thirteen Fortresses were burnt down and captured countless times. The farthest distance was only two hundred miles away from Sakhalian-oja. The Ming army stationed in North Korea made great achievements in the Northern Expedition.

Chen Yu Anxing wrote urgently on the night of August [-]th.

Emperor Tianqi read his heart and said that Yu Anxing's Ming army made great achievements this time, destroying Hetuala, the old village of Jianlu, and fought thousands of miles to attack the city and plunder the village. I don't know how many girls these two generals killed behind Jianlu The real Tartar, who killed Jianlu this time, had no choice but to submit obediently to me, Daming. Emperor Tianqi showed a happy smile.

When the gates of the Forbidden City were locked that day, the Minister of Honglu Temple sent Emperor Tianqi the confidential information revealed by Li Yangeng, the deputy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin. The behavior in the territory is heinous. They almost kill men when they see them, rape them when they see women, slaughter villages every village, and burn villages when they meet villages. After leaving, thousands of miles of grasslands were burned to wasteland, and the old village of Hetuala, the place where Longxing was built, turned into a ghost town.

It was rare for Emperor Tianqi to see such a refreshing article, and he felt very comfortable, and then continued to read: In early July, the Yehe tribe of the Jin Kingdom rebelled, and the King of Khan sent the Imperial Forest Army with a yellow banner to lead the Han Dynasty because the Jurchen Eight Banners were all on the line of the Yalu River in eastern Liaodong. Army Tong Yangxing, Li Yongfang and other ministries dispatched more than [-] troops to crusade, and the whole army was wiped out after the first battle with Ye He's tribe. Only a few hundred people fled back to Shengjing. Later, Ye He's tribe captured Kaiyuan City, and the surrounding Jurchens There are many tribes attached to them, and the largest group is the Mongolian Horqin tribe. On the fifth day of August, the Yehe tribe, the Horqin tribe, and the Jurchen tribes were all attached to Tieling City. The Eight Banners of Jianzhou along the Yalu River withdrew their troops across the board and returned to aid the capital city of Shengjing. The Zhengbai Banner Huangtaiji Department that arrived first was ambushed during pursuit. The place ten miles away from Tieling City was attacked by the Ming army. More than half of the Zhengbai Banner Huangtaiji Department suffered casualties. Huang Taiji I fell into a coma after being hit by the Ming army's explosives. The Jin army retreated to the city of Shengjing. It is preparing to establish a country.

Emperor Tianqi's eyelids twitched, a general actually wants to establish a nation with a tribe, this Xue Yun is too courageous, if Xue Yun is left to his own devices like this, it will definitely become a disaster for the court in the future.

Xue Yun was deceived by Li Yangeng, deputy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, who told Li Yangeng that nine truths and one falsehood. Who told Xue Yun to make Li Yangeng's old man Li Yongfang so miserable? If Li Yangeng didn't take revenge on Xue Yun, he would be inhuman. It seems that this offender will have retribution sooner or later of.

Emperor Tianqi's impression of Xue Yun was much worse. Datong's Xue family army worked hard in the Yehe and Horqin tribes for a while. I don't care if I work hard for nothing.

The next day at the court meeting in Fengtian Temple, the court ministers continued to dispute the fate of the Jin Kingdom. Some supported the complete elimination of the Jin Kingdom, but proposed that the Jin Kingdom and the Yehe, Horqin, and Chahar tribes tear each other apart. There are some biting, and some officials think that the military power of the Xue family is too great, and the military power of the Xue family should be taken back. In short, for the Jin Guojian Ministry area, most court officials hope that it will be a balance in the split, not to completely eliminate any tribe. The established national policy of weak stems and strong branches.

Didn’t the officials of the Ming Dynasty know the dangers of Jianzhou Jurchen? But after Abai and Li Yangeng sent jewelry worth hundreds of thousands and wild ginseng furs worth hundreds of thousands to the official mansion of the Ming court, most of these officials Changed their positions, even the stubborn ones remained silent. Only a very small number of officials rejected Jianlu's gift. It is normal that there is an atmosphere in the court that is conducive to Jin Guojianlu.
