Blood from Daming

Chapter 842
On December 300nd of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji refused to meet with the Qing embassy and refused to accept his letter of credence. The Korean envoys Luo Luoxian and Li Kuo refused to participate in the ceremony officially held by Huang Taiji in Shenyang. Because of worship, Huang Taiji sent Jierhalang to guard Shengjing, Azige and Abatai guarded the mouth of the Liaohe River to contain the Xue family army and the Ming army, and ordered Dorgon and Haoge to divide the left-wing Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers and march from Kuandian Entering Changshan Pass; Household Chengzheng Ma Futa and others led 12 troops to raid the capital of North Korea. Wan Dajun conquered North Korea.

After the Qing army crossed the river, they took advantage of their strength in field warfare, abandoned the strong city without attacking it, and drove southward. In just twelve days, they arrived at the capital of North Korea. You are young, cry and carry the road"; the king of North Korea, Li Ji, once again sent the princess, prince and minister's wife to Ganghwa Island for refuge, while he himself led all the civil and military officials to retreat to Nanhan Mountain City, and at the same time sent Cui Mingji and others to the Qing camp to delay the negotiation and wait. The arrival of the king's army from all walks of life, [
At this time, Zhang Wan, the North Korean commander-in-chief, had died of illness. Li Gui, who was the commander-in-chief, led an army of [-] troops to serve as the king, and at the same time asked for help from the Xue family army in Lushun. Yi Chaofang was wiped out by Yue Tuo and Hao Ge before he arrived in the capital of North Korea. Li Gui was so frightened that he led his troops back to Pyongyang and never dared to leave the city again.

Li Gui and Yi Chaofang's troops are the most elite in North Korea. Now that Li Gui and Yi Chaofang's troops are defeated, there is no army in North Korea that can fight Jianlu. In the first month of the new year, after the Qing soldiers defeated the reinforcements from Jeolla Province, Chungcheong Province and other places successively, the king of North Korea Li Zhen sincerely asked the Qing army for peace.

Fearing that North Korea would rebel against the Qing Dynasty again, Huang Taiji sent Dorgon to attack Ganghwa Island and captured the Korean princess, prince, clan, and family members of the officials. The situation has gone and we have to seek peace.On the [-]th day of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Chongzhen, the king of North Korea, Li Ji, took off his royal clothes and changed into green clothes. He led his officials out of Nanhan Mountain City, and walked to Sandian Puqing camp on the east bank of the Han River to apologize to Huang Taiji by kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.Huang Taiji issued an order to pardon him.

The two sides built an altar and vowed that North Korea will go to the next year, pay the imperial seal given by the Ming Dynasty, enshrine the Qing Dynasty as Zhengshuo, make regular contributions, and send the two protons.In addition, the main figures of the North Korean King Li Ji were pro-Ming and anti-Qing, Yin Ji of Hongwenguan School Manager, Wu Daji of Xiuzhuan, and Hong Yihan, a Taiwan admonisher, were killed by Jianlu in Shengjing.

The Manchu Qing and North Korea signed a peace treaty: King Li Ji of North Korea took his eldest son Li Wei and his second son Li Hao to the Qing Dynasty as hostages, and every year there would be 26 taels of gold, [-] taels of silver, [-] pairs of buffalo horns, [-] mink furs, and [-] buckskins , [-] bags of tea, [-] pieces of otter skin, [-] pieces of green millet skin, [-] buckets of pepper, [-] waist knives, [-] shun knives, [-] catties of sumac, [-] rolls of large paper, [-] rolls of small paper, Four collars for five-clawed dragon mats, forty collars for flower mats, two hundred pieces of white ramie cloth, two thousand pieces of cotton silk, four hundred pieces of fine linen, ten thousand pieces of fine cloth, four thousand pieces of cloth, and ten thousand bags of rice.

Man Qing was still not satisfied, took 50 North Koreans as captives back to the country as slaves, and plundered a large amount of North Korean supplies. Later, the king of North Korea, Li Ji, paid a ransom to Man Qing to redeem some people; After severing diplomatic relations and accepting the canonization of the Qing Dynasty, he became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji ordered North Korea to send troops to Lushun, and the king of North Korea Li Zhen sent fifty warships to assist the Qing Dynasty in attacking the Xue family army in Lushun.

The Xue family army in Lushun learned that Jianlu was attacking North Korea, so they gave up their suspicions and sent troops to help the war. Lu Yaojin, Zuo Ming, and You Can sent troops to Liaodong. , but did not think that North Korea had already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Now that the reinforcements from Hangzhou and Taiwan have not arrived, Lu Yaojin, Zuo Ming, and General You Can have no choice but to return to Lushun, and they will become horns with the North Sea Fleet of the Navy. , Huang Taiji's return to the division is likely to attack Lushun, Lu Yaojin asked Hargen and Amin why he didn't take action, and Hargen shied away because Amin was not prepared enough.

Xu Sanjie, the generalissimo of Wenxiangjiao, fled to Mengcheng, and met the team led by her niece, Yunu Shengjian. Xu Sanjie was already disheartened about Wenxiangjiao's career, and expressed her willingness to submit to her niece's Mingjiao. The Xue family army is gone, and Third Sister Xu immediately understood that her niece had accepted Xue Yun, she couldn't help but secretly laughed at the pedantry, what did she do a few years ago, now Xue Yun has a group of wives and concubines, and even she eats it secretly, thinking that her niece will follow Xue Yun in the future, she is To be with Xue Yun or not to be with Xue Yun, if it is with Xue Yun, it is still embarrassing for the aunt and nephew to serve the same husband.

The Holy Sword of the Jade Girl retreated slowly with Third Sister Xu. Chen Yongfu, the deputy general of Henan Province, chased him to Sushui, Suzhou, where he was attacked by Xue Jiajun, Qiao Guoliang, Song Kui, Liu Mandun, Niu San, and Ma Tao. , Wen Xiang taught 4000 people against Ming army Chen Yongfu and [-]. There was no suspense in the whole battle. Chen Yongfu lost more than half of his troops and fled to Fengyang City, the central capital.

Shi Kefa, governor of Fengyang, had his eye on the Mingjiao in Mengcheng and Suzhou as soon as he took office, but before he could make a move, Chen Yongfu, deputy general of Henan, made a test stone and lost more than 2000 people. It is not advisable to chase Remnant Yong after the poor bandits, otherwise, even if Chen Yongfu was not captured, he would probably be a poor commander.

However, Chen Yongfu's defeat made Fengyang governor Shi Kefa fully recognize the true identity of the Mingjiao army in his own territory. This is clearly the Xue family army hiding in Fengyang mansion. Shi Kefa realized the seriousness of the problem and reined in his troops While preparing for the war, on the one hand, Emperor Chongzhen demanded to eliminate Xue Yun's military forces in Daming.

In western Zhejiang, Huang Xida, the "General of Fengtian Justice", was defeated by Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, Xue Bo, Zheng Zhibao, etc. In February of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Xida had to lead 4000 remnants to flee to Zhuji Kuaiji Mountain. Huang Xida wrote to his elder brother himself Huang Xisheng, who is also the patriarch, expressed that his troops are willing to be loyal to Xue Yun.

Huang Xida begged to see Yan Sanniang again, and handed over the letter of obedience from her younger brother Huang Xida. Yan Sanniang saw that Huang Xida was willing to admit her husband Xue Yun as his master. Xue Bo made a move, Yan Sanniang couldn't help hesitating.

A few days after Huang Xida left, Huang Tianjiao approached Yan Sanniang, Ms. Chen, Wu Hui, Mei Xiang, Yingchun, Ni Hongshuang, and Ren Ruping, and begged the sisters to speak to Yan Sanniang, hoping that Xue's army would send troops to save Uncle Huang Xida's troops. It can be regarded as saving some capital for myself.

Although Huang Tianjiao had selfish intentions, Ms. Chen, Wu Hui, Mei Xiang, Yingchun, Ni Hongshuang, and Ren Ruping thought Huang Xida should be given a chance. Ms. Chen, Ni Hongshuang, and Ren Ruping went to meet Yan Sanniang in person out of Xue Jiajun's interests. Yan Sanniang was worried about fighting with Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, and Xue Bo. Henan no longer had Wenxiangjiao, and if Zhejiang did not have Huang Xida, Xue Jiajun would directly clash with him.

Ms. Chen, Ni Hongshuang, and Ren Ruping don't like Xue's family in the capital now, and they propose not to attack Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, and Xue Bo. If Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, and Xue Bo don't know what's good, the Xue family army doesn't have to be polite to them. The North Korean army believes that with the attitude of Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, and Xue Bo towards the Xue family army, the Xue family army will have a bloody battle with Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, and Xue Bo sooner or later.

Seeing that all the sisters didn't want to see Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, Xue Bo and other Xue family members, Yan Sanniang also followed suit and agreed to formally accept Huang Xida. Marshal" banner to support Huang Xida's department in Kuaiji Mountain.

The main force of Huang Xida's tribe that the Ming army will attack Kuaiji Mountain is: Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, Xue Bo's coalition forces and Fujian Zhengzhi Leopard Division. When an unknown armed force attacked, most of the 8000 troops were lost in just half an hour. Zheng Zhibao fled all the way south and returned to Fujian. Later, Zheng Zhilong only recruited more than 2000 Zheng Jiajun who fled back to Fujian. Only then did I know that my younger brother Zheng Zhibao encountered the special forces of the Xue family army, and this was the elite of the elite of the Xue family army.

After Ren Ruping joined Huang Xida's troops in Kuaiji Mountain, the coalition forces of Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, and Xue Bo, without the cooperation of Fujian Zheng Zhibao's troops, attacked Kuaiji Mountain for three consecutive days, killing and injuring more than 1000 horses. It was only then that it was discovered that the strength of the enemy army had been greatly strengthened. On February 26, Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, and Xue Bo's luggage camps were robbed. The Ning Mansion retreated. At this time, Xue Shisan, Xue Zong, and Xue Bo already knew that the Hangzhou Xue Family Army had fought against them without announcing.

After receiving the memorial from Fengyang Governor Shi Kefa, Emperor Chongzhen also felt that Xue Yun's problem had to be resolved. After years of hard work, the giant bandit Gao Yingxiang had been executed by Ling Chi, the intruder general Li Zicheng was defeated, and the eight kings were begged for appeasement. Kou Fanshan, Yaozi Gao Jie, Liu Guoneng and others surrendered one after another, and the court was finally free to deal with the Xue family army.

Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to Xiong Wencan, Lu Xiangsheng, and Hong Chengchou to inquire about the situation of the Xue family army in Hangzhou, Datong, and Mizhi, and ordered the three to present their countermeasures. It was not until late April that all the memorials of Xiong Wencan, Lu Xiangsheng, and Hong Chengchou were sent to Emperor Chongzhen. inside.

Xiong Wencan, Lu Xiangsheng, and Hong Chengchou all thought that the Xue family army was in a big disaster. Xiong Wencan thought that the Hangzhou Xue family army owned Taiwan Island, which can be said to have achieved the king's career, and they could only take it slowly but not be able to fight against it; Lu Xiangsheng believed that the Xue family army of Datong was super powerful. If the Ming army goes to war rashly, there is almost no chance of winning. The best way for the court is to show righteousness and resolve the situation of Datong Xue's army. Hong Chengchou thinks that Mizhi's Xue's army can be eliminated. And move the whole body, I hope that the imperial court has a unified overall plan to deal with the Xue family army. If the plan is not well planned, the destructive power of the Xue family army will far exceed that of the peasant army riots in Shanshan.

Emperor Chongzhen was very clear about the possible consequences of suppressing the Xue family army, otherwise he would not have waited until today to take action. Emperor Chongzhen wondered if Xue Yun's situation had been nearly ten years, would he have died in the yellow sand for thousands of miles? However, none of Xue Yun's subordinates were willing to turn to the court, and Emperor Chongzhen was very discouraged every time he thought of this.

Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to order Xiong Wencan, Lu Xiangsheng, and Hong Chengchou to strengthen their combat readiness. After the strategy of highlighting the Xue family army came out, the Ming government and army could act in a unified manner as much as possible. The battle in Lushun became bigger and bigger, and Emperor Chongzhen came up with the idea of ​​reaping the benefits of fishermen.
