A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The Korean Peninsula was a very important part of the Korean Peninsula.

(Map of the Joseon Dynasty)

The Kingdom of Korea was divided into eight provinces, and the one bordering the Ming Dynasty next to the Yalu River was Pyeongan Province of the Kingdom of Korea.

Speaking of which, although the territory of the Joseon Dynasty was small and had experienced many invasions in history, it had experienced 27 dynasties from 1392 to 1910 before it was destroyed.

However, now that the Later Jin Dynasty has almost wiped out the Lee royal family in advance, it is estimated that the various dynasties have no hope of continuing their rule for more than 500 years.

This time, the Later Jin Dynasty raided the Joseon Dynasty, and the advance was too smooth. In the early stage, it was basically a smooth push, and almost no decent resistance was encountered.

Therefore, when the Later Jin army reached the capital of Korea, the beile and flag owners who led the troops of the Later Jin began to divide their troops into multiple routes and attack forward.

Every beile and flag owner wanted to win merit, occupy more land, and plunder some wealth, so they were naturally unwilling to leave many soldiers to garrison the city.

This also gave Lu Cheng great convenience. With only 6,000 soldiers, he was also unstoppable all the way, successively taking Changcheng, Shuozhou, Yizhou, Longchuan, Dingzhou and other places in Pyeongan Province, and soon occupied half of Pyeongan Province.

At the same time, the generals of various routes in northeastern Liaodong also sent troops, gathered on the border line of the Later Jin, and approached the Yalu River, threatening the Later Jin homeland.

Before the Later Jin marched into Korea this time, it considered that the Ming Liaodong might participate, and was always on guard against the troops of Liaodong.

After learning that Lu Cheng had sent a large army across the Yalu River, Nurhaci did not rush to send troops, but allowed Lu Cheng's troops to penetrate into the Korean territory, preparing to attack Lu Cheng's troops from the north and south in the Korean territory, while destroying Korea, severely damaging Lu Cheng, and even further retaking the Zhenjiangbao area.

For a time, the troops of the Later Jin natives approached Pyeongan Road from the northeast to the southwest along the Yalu River, while the troops of the Later Jin invaded Korea returned along the original route and also approached Pyeongan Road.

The Liaodong troops across the Yalu River also gathered towards the Zhenjiangbao area, and a confrontation situation formed on both sides.

At the same time, Lu Cheng also took 10,000 troops from Liaonan to the Zhenjiangbao area.

This time, Sun Chengzong sent two generals, He Shixian and You Shigong, with 50,000 troops to support Lu Cheng.

In Zhenjiangbao, He Shixian and You Shigong looked at the map on the table and were a little worried.

He Shixian pointed to a location on the map and said, "Brother Lu, according to the battle report from the front, Nurhaci personally led 50,000 troops and has arrived in the south of Chushan, less than 100 miles away from Changcheng. The speed of the Jin cavalry will soon reach Changcheng. With the thousands of troops you sent, can you really stop the Later Jin army?"

You Shigong also advised, "But it's not just Nurhaci's 50,000 troops. When Amin's 30,000 troops in the south return, there will be 80,000 troops in the north and south. Even if you and I add up the troops, it's not enough. I say, withdraw the troops as soon as possible. Let them occupy Korea, anyway, it's not our own territory."

Lu Cheng shook his head, "Two brothers, if the Later Jin fully occupies the Korean Peninsula, we can get a large amount of food and supplies, and a long-term and stable food base. We will also lose a ally.

Moreover, you don't have to worry too much. Although I only sent out a few thousand soldiers, there is no problem in defending the city. However, I also need to trouble you two brothers to help defend the Kuandian, Yongdian, and Xindian areas, and don't let the troops of the Later Jin Dynasty hit our territory.

As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it. Don't forget that I am best at defending the city. "

He Shixian nodded when he heard it: "Speaking of this, I have to admire Brother Lu's use of anger. After this battle, can Brother Lu give me a few new muskets?"

"Of course no problem."

You Shigong also stood up: "Brother Lu, you can't miss my share."

"Don't worry, you two brothers, I will definitely not miss yours."

Among the generals in Liaodong, Lu Cheng has a good relationship with He Shixian, You Shigong, Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui and others, and the best relationship among them is He Shixian.

He Shixian is a man of courage and strategy, and he worked his way up from the bottom, and was promoted to the position of general entirely by his own merits. In this respect, his experience is very similar to Lu Cheng's.

As for You Shigong, Chen Ce, and Tong Zhongkui, they all came from military examinations and have real skills.

In the original history, these general soldiers and several other general soldiers in Liaodong all died in the decisive battle with Hou Jin when Yuan Yingtai was managing Liaodong.

It can be said that during Yuan Yingtai's management of Liaodong, he not only caused Liaodong to lose the two important towns of Liaoyang and Shenyang, but also killed all the most capable general officers in Liaodong on the battlefield.

Nowadays, because of Lu Cheng, these general soldiers are still alive and well, and they have a good relationship with Lu Cheng. They move around every year and festival, and they often sit together to communicate and train troops.

If Lu Cheng wants to become king in the future, he will naturally need some generals and talents, and these people are all worth winning over.

As for whether these people are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, this is not too important.

As long as Ming Dynasty is around, everyone will be loyal to Ming Dynasty. If Ming Dynasty is gone, who will be buried with Ming Dynasty?

After arranging the defense in the north of Zhenjiang Fort, Lu Cheng led his troops into Ping'an Road and rushed to Changcheng in person.

The small towns in North Korea are also small, and Changcheng is about the same as Zhenjiang Fort. At this time, nearly three thousand soldiers and horses have been stationed in the city, and enough food and arms have been hoarded.

At the same time, Liaonan soldiers and horses under Lu Cheng were also stationed in Shuozhou, Guicheng, Dingzhou and other places.

Not only that, Lu Cheng also deliberately let Nurhaci know about his stay in Changcheng.

For Lu Cheng, Nurhaci and the entire Houjin hated him to the core.

Since Lu Cheng arrived in Liaodong, he entered the city of Hetuala twice and assassinated Fan Wencheng, Li Yongfang, and several sons and grandsons of Nurhachi. He also poisoned the nobles of Houjin, killing and wounding more than a hundred people. Later Jin nobles and their families.

In addition, it was Lu Cheng who caused many losses to Hou Jin's army and caused Hou Jin's delay in conquering Liaodong.

It can be said that, looking at the entire Liaodong, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty person who was most hated by everyone in the Hou Jin Dynasty was Lu Cheng.

Therefore, after learning that Lu Cheng was in Changcheng, Nurhachi directly led an army of 50,000 to surround the entire small Changcheng. This time, he would kill Lu Cheng no matter what the cost.

Nurhaci even gave an order to Amin, who was marching south, to lead his troops directly around Turtle City and towards Shuozhou, cutting off Lu Cheng's escape route back to the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Lu Cheng stood on top of Changcheng's city wall, which was less than two feet high, looking at the Nurhachi army outside the city, but he was not panicked at all.

This deputy commander has been in charge for so long, and it's time for him to make further progress.

Nurhachi was eyeing Lu Cheng's head, but Lu Cheng was also eyeing Nurhachi's head.

Just when Nurhachi was about to order an attack on the city, the soldiers on the city wall also loaded their rifles with ammunition and were ready to shoot.

Improved versions of explosive bags and grenades were also placed on top of the city.

There are also some mortars hidden under the city wall, ready to be moved to the top of the city at any time.

This is destined to be a war that spans the ages. Lu Cheng also wants those Jurchen Tatars to see the true power of firearms two to three hundred years in advance...
