Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 180 Lure the enemy to go south, North Korean special envoy

"Why don't you leave?"

Feng Zhaoji, commander of the 33rd Brigade of the Third Front Army of the Liaodong Theater of the Ming Army, put down the telescope in his hand and said with emotion.

"It's been a long time since I met such a courageous Eight Banners."

The brigade commander of the 32nd Brigade smiled to Dazai.

The three brigades of the Third Front.

The 11th Brigade is an old unit transferred from the pass.

The 32nd Brigade was expanded from the garrison of the Liaodong Tunken Division.

The 33rd Brigade is a new force formed by the strong men stationed in the Eastern Liaodong Army.

Now the commander-in-chief of the Third Front Army, Peng Jun, and the commanders of the three brigades have arrived at the front of the fort.

It was originally based on the estimates of the staff department.

There is no need for the Qing army to guard this fortress.

Because this is a protruding part, a lot of troops are required to defend this fort, and there is also the risk of being surrounded and besieged.

Given how precious the Qing court was to the Eight Banners, how could they be willing to die thousands of Eight Banners on such a fortress with little strategic value?

Therefore, I thought that the opponent would have to run away as soon as the army came, but I didn't expect to put on a defensive appearance now, but it made the four military leaders of Ming Dynasty a little impressed.

Observe the hot air balloon.

The layout of Tieling Tunbao and the estimate of its military strength were all in the hands of Peng Jun.

"In addition to more than 1000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, there are actually about ten thousand people living in the castle, old and weak, women and children of the Eight Banners."

Peng Jun said.

"This makes sense. It seems that the Eight Banners outside the pass are short of food. Even the old and weak of the Eight Banners are going to come out to cultivate land."

The commander of the 11th Brigade, Chen Jianhui, thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, let's send a partial division to destroy all the crops reclaimed by the Eight Banners in various parts of Liaodong. Will the 20 Eight Banners outside the pass starve to death?"

"Starve to death? It's not possible." Feng Zhaoji, the commander of the 33rd brigade, shook his head and said, "The old forests in the Liao area are rich in prey and products. Even if there is still no grain of food, you can survive hunting in the mountains, right?"

"It's natural." Peng Jun laughed, "It's not so easy to wipe out a family, so this time our army is leaving the customs, and it is for the purpose of not leaving any future troubles!"

"Leave no future trouble." Xiang Dazai was taken aback, pondering the weight of this sentence.

The more I think about it, the colder my back feels.

"General Town, there is no such clause in the military order of the General Staff Headquarters."

Peng Jun said in a cold voice: "The tens of thousands of troops swept north of Liao, how could it be just to drive the Qing Tartars away? The emperor is benevolent, how can he make a decree. We wait for the ministers to share the worries for the king, pass the order, and after breaking the stronghold , slaughter all the people!"

"Follow the order!"

The three brigade commanders looked at each other and said in unison.

"The world is different today. Now there is a stronger land in the north, and it is an enemy that is completely different from the Huns, Turks, and Mongolia."

"The general town is talking about Russia? Tsarist Russia is said to be the hegemon of Europe, England dominates the sea and land, and Russia dominates the land. It is not easy to be called the hegemon of Europa."

Feng Zhaoji said.

"The Son of Heaven has something to say, today's world is like the chaotic world of the Warring States Period, countries are vying for hegemony. If we want to dominate the world and expand the living space of China, we need to combine the power of China. Since Tsarist Russia is the overlord of the European continent, then this couch Besides, he cannot be allowed to sleep soundly! The emperor attached so much importance to the Liao land, and sent troops to reclaim Haishengwei. His purpose was not just to break the back road of the Qing Dynasty, but he also had the intention of driving Tsarist Russia away. .”

Peng Jun explained.

"In my opinion, Tsarist Russia has expanded tens of thousands of miles from Eastern Europe after decades of expansion. The country's desire to expand is so strong that it has now expanded eastward to the coast of the sea. If it wants to continue to expand, it can only go south. From this point of view, there must be a war between Ming and Russia, and in this case, I, Ming, should first consolidate the Liao land, and it is best to immigrate tens of millions, so that I can remain invincible in the future war between Ming and Russia."

The three brigade commanders looked at each other. They didn't think so far, but they heard what Peng Jun said.

I also think it makes sense.

In fact, Peng Jun still has something to say, that is, he thinks that the emperor invested so much resources in Liao, it should not be just to consolidate Liao.

Perhaps he is very interested in the eastern lands of Tsarist Russia.
It's just that Manchuria is rich and can easily support tens of millions of people, but what does he want to do in the North?
Manchuria is further north, it is the land of the extreme north.

In addition to the severe cold and dense forest, you may be able to hunt some furs, but you can't farm land, and grazing is difficult.

What are you going to do?

Peng Jun stood against the fortress in front of him and said suddenly: "The attack plan is suspended."

The commander of the 33rd brigade, Feng Zhaoji, was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "General Town, our army only needs one round of shelling for such a fortress, and we can enter it with one assault. Why wait?"

"Wait two days."

Peng Jun laughed.

"There are more than ten thousand Eight Banners soldiers, old and weak."

"This town believes that the Qing Dynasty may not be willing to give up."

Of course I can't bear to give up.

Jin Chang, the vice-captain of the Xianglan Banner stationed in Haicheng, was so angry that he almost drew his sword to kill someone when he received the news from Lin Guoliang's urgent report.

That reckless man in Husong'e dared to stand in front of more than ten thousand Ming troops by relying on the earthen village of Tunpu in Tieling.

Even if he dies by himself.

They are still pulling tens of thousands of flags!

This bastard deserves death!
What are hundreds of thousands of acres of crops?
Lose it and lose it.

The big deal is to go to North Korea to grab one.

There are more than 1 Eight Banners, and if they die, they will really die.

You must know that the total population of the Eight Banners is only over 100 million.

More than 1 people died at once.

How many times can you die?
When the Eight Banners entered the customs and killed so many Han people, now that they have returned, can you complain about injustice?
to be frank.

He really wanted to give up the more than 1 Eight Banners in Husong'e and Tieling Tunpu directly.

But I really can't bear it.

Even if he made up his mind, he might be punished by Qiuhou in the future.

no way.

Jin Chang had no choice but to order a team of eight thousand horses to go south to meet the reckless Husong'e.

Under the command of the current General Sheng Jing.

There are more than thirteen thousand soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Recently, more than [-] strong members of the local sacrificial tribe were gathered.

In addition, there were [-] Eight Banners soldiers sent by generals Jilin and Heilongjiang to support them.

The people of the Eight Banners of Fengtian, over the age of 13, and all men who can hold a knife and gun are all organized, with a total number of more than [-].
This is all the troops that can be used outside the pass now.

If the Eight Thousand Horse Team loses.

That's absolutely gut-wrenching.

Just when the third front army was stationed in Tieling Tunpu, trying to lure the main force of Haicheng's Eight Banners out of the city with the people of the Eight Banners in Tieling Tunpu.

On the sea east of Lushun Port.

Blinding sails covered the sea.

The army commanded by the Son of Heaven came across the sea and finally arrived at Lushun Port!
At this time, Lushun Port has been built as a deep-water port that is somewhat crude, but thanks to the good harbor conditions, it can berth a large number of ships with thousands of stones.

The first to dock was the fleet carrying the emperor's guards.

With the big ship docked.

A guard soldier with his head held high got off the ship and quickly took over the entire port.

A large ship slowly landed on the deck of the large ship.

You can vaguely see the red Tuanlong flag of the Ming emperor and the Sun and Moon flag of Ming Dynasty.

"The Son of Tomorrow is here!"

With the roll call of a young official wearing a red official uniform.

The officials of Lushun Port who greeted him on the pier saluted him one after another.

Soldiers salute.

The civil servant bowed.

And in this one.

Zheng Minshi, the special envoy of the King of Korea who came from North Korea, was at a loss.

Because he didn't know how to salute himself.

Because North Korea is theoretically still a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.

The North Korean side has never taken the initiative to contact Daming in the south - in fact, there are quite a lot of pro-Ming forces in North Korea.

But it's not Zhu Daohua's big Ming who is kissing now.

It is the former suzerain country that has made North Korea feel grateful for hundreds of years.

In fact, there is not no discussion in North Korea that North Korea should take the initiative to belong to Ming Dynasty.

But on the one hand, North Korea is adjacent to Liaodong, and it is worried that Ming Dynasty is far to the south. If the Qing court is offended and the Qing court raises troops to question the crime, how will North Korea resist?
on the other hand.

The son of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Daohua, made good friends with Japan when he was in Nanyang.

Now it is the biggest backer of the Tokugawa shogunate.

It also built embassies and commercial offices in Edo, and leased ports.

It looks like the two countries will be close to each other tomorrow.

This makes North Korea very delicious.

After all, the relationship between North Korea and Japan is not harmonious, and it has been like this for 200 years.

This new Ming Dynasty has good relations with Japan.

It didn't even ask Japan to claim vassal status.

Why should North Korea take the initiative to post it?
Originally, this kind of careful thought was there, North Korea was far in the northeast, and Ming Dynasty was in the south, and it would be a long way to get in touch for a while.

But who would have thought.

Daming actually established military settlements in Liaodong and Vladivostok, east and west of the Korean peninsula.

Moreover, in the military colony over Haishengwei, a large number of Japanese girls were bought to be wives for the strong men in the military colony.

Daming refused the Korean woman who was close at hand, but wanted a Japanese woman?

What does it mean?
Could it be that they have opinions on North Korea?

This can make North Korea anxious up and down.

I thought it was far away, and I could watch the fire from the other side.

Who would have thought that Daming's power would expand so quickly and reach Liaodong in a short period of time.

Now it is even more heard that the Son of Heaven is going to conquer Liaodong himself.

The king of North Korea, Li Yu, hurriedly sent his confidant ministers, the North Korean soldier Cao Panshu, the general Zhuangyongwei, and Zheng Minshi, the official of Dunning's house, to Lushun to meet the Son of Heaven.

For throwing away the clear.

Basically, there are not many obstacles in North Korea.

Although it has been a vassal of the Qing Dynasty for more than 100 years.

But up to now, North Korea still wears the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, which is completely different from that of the Qing court.

Even when the envoys of Yan went to the capital, some Han officials shed tears when they saw the clothes of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the envoys of North Korea who went to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty were called angels of the dynasty. So convinced.

If he said he wanted to join Daming before, he was worried about being retaliated by the Qing Dynasty.

Now that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has come to Liaodong in person, the Qing Dynasty itself is in danger.

Naturally, North Korea has no scruples. Zheng Minshi came here this time to make North Korea the kingdom of Ming Dynasty again.

It's just that the rules of the Ming Dynasty have changed again.

Everyone stopped kneeling.As a result, Zheng Minshi, who was dressed somewhat similarly to the current official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, but could also see the obvious difference, knelt among a group of civil servants of the Ming Dynasty who were bowing their hands.

It seemed very eye-catching.

At least Zhu Daohua saw the North Korean envoy the first time he got off the boat.
