I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 398 Occupying Pyongyang
Liu Ruhan's son is a fool, but he is not, at least not entirely.

Although he knew that cooperating with the Manchus was seeking skin from a tiger, it was impossible for his Han army to fight against the Ming Dynasty alone.As for surrender, it would be okay if he hadn't proclaimed himself emperor yet, but now that he has proclaimed himself emperor, surrendering would be asking for death.

Since ancient times, ministers can surrender, but the Lord cannot surrender.

This is not a casual statement. Even if Zhu Yijiong is broad-minded, there will be a lot of people below to try to figure it out.

Just like King Xiao Ming in the early Ming Dynasty, he must have something to do with Lao Zhu, but it is unlikely that he gave the order.

Because there is no need, and Lao Zhu is not a fool. In his hands, Xiao Ming Wang is even more Han Xian Emperor than Han Xian Emperor.You can take it over first, and then make a concession to reach the top.

Then keep it for a few years and find an opportunity to fall into the water or die of illness. Isn't it better than using the excuse of a warship sinking in the middle of the river?
The sinking of the warship is tantamount to telling the world that I killed King Xiao Ming... This kind of substandard method is not even likely to be Hu Weiyong's idea in the TV series.

However, Lao Zhu definitely wanted to kill King Xiao Ming, but fortunately he made the mistake.

When Yinhu, the regent of Shengjing in Liaodong, received Liu Ruhan's personal letter, he was relieved and immediately agreed to send troops after the beginning of spring.

It's just sending troops, not joining forces, because no one can trust anyone.

Liu Ruhan knew that his troops were insufficient, and Yinsu was also worried that he would be stabbed in the back by Liu Ruhan.

At that time, Liu Ruhan's Han army left Shanxi and attacked Zhengding, Shunde and Guangping.Henan looked down upon the ruins of Henan, and he felt that he would not be able to gain anything if he attacked it. Moreover, it was flat and flat, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend.

The Manchu and Qing dynasties in eastern Liaoning went up the Liaohe River in the west, turned from the Xilamulun River and Laoha River basins to the Luanhe River and went south. They attacked Longjing Pass, Da'ankou, Hongshankou and other passes along the Great Wall, and attacked Zunhua, Sanhe, Shunyi, and Tongzhou. Soldiers invaded the city of Beijing.

Yinhu, the regent of the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, planned to follow the example of his ancestor Huang Taiji, bypassing Shanhaiguan and sending troops to catch the Ming army by surprise.

Because there are too many passes on the Great Wall, the Ming Dynasty without the Monan Mongolian alliance flags as a barrier, just like the Ming Dynasty that had a falling out with Lin Dan Khan during the Chongzhen period, the so-called Guanning Jin Defense Line could not stop the Manchu Qing Dynasty at all.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty now only has Shanhaiguan, and it has just been captured. How could you imagine that the Manchu Qing would not attack Shanhaiguan, but break through the pass north of the Great Wall.

Chongzhen lost unjustly, Lin Dan Khan was defeated by Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji was supported by Monan Mongolia, and the entire defense line north of the Great Wall was as leaky as a sieve.

Huang Taiji entered the customs four times and took four different entry routes, and did not bother with Shanhaiguan.

On the East Road, Liu Ruhan successfully reached a consensus with the Liaodong Manchus. However, Yongzheng, who was in Xi'an, had to receive a letter from Taiyuan City sooner. He even guessed that the other party must have called his good "son" to help. fist.

But he didn't care. He had just defeated Luobuzangdanjin and shocked Cewang Alabutan. Now was a good time to join forces to attack Nanming.

Well, here in Yongzheng, Zhu Yijiong's Ming Dynasty has been officially called the Southern Dynasties.It's not that you give in, but you truly regard it as a life and death enemy.

Although it's a little late.

If nothing unexpected happens next year, there will be three armies joining forces to attack the Ming army.

The Ming army's response strategy is very simple, whoever is going to fight!

Shanxi has been easy to defend but difficult to attack since ancient times. If Liu Ruhan had been huddled in Taiyuan and had sufficient troops, the Ming army might really be in trouble. It would be a good time to come out.However, Liaodong was bitterly cold, vast and sparsely populated. Yinhu wanted to learn from his ancestor Huang Tai Chi. Not to mention whether he had the ability or not, the supply line alone was enough to fill a pot of Qing.

Once the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in Liaodong sent troops, it meant that the hinterland was empty, and the garrison in North Korea and Tamluo County could take the opportunity to send troops to attack Yinhu's lair.

Since the end of the Central Plains War last year, Zhu Yijiong has once again expanded his army. This expansion is different from the previous one. The number of troops is all raised from reserves.The No. 11 Army, the No. 12 Army, the No. 13 Army were successively expanded, and an additional dragoon unit was formed.

The Ming army's regular army, plus various arms such as cavalry and artillery, has a total strength of 40 troops.

And this is only the regular army. The Ming army also has millions of peasant army reserves.As long as there is a big battle, they can be assembled into an army at any time. Their combat effectiveness is naturally not as good as that of the regular army, but it is definitely better than the ordinary green camp army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The financial expenditure consumed by such a large army is actually not as large as imagined.At least it was within the financial capacity of the Ming Dynasty's treasury, and it was not even as much as the money and food spent by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to raise troops.

There is no need to explain the reason. Refer to the tea eggs worth three cents in the Ming Dynasty and the boiled eggs worth [-] taels of silver in the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's Ministry of Internal Affairs.

……

Liaodong direction.Although the Ming Dynasty did not use troops, it did not do nothing.

In March of this year, Wang Zongtan, the deputy general of the First Army who was sent to the North Korean garrison, led an army of [-] people north to Ping'an Road on the pretext of helping the vassal country to regain lost territory and resist the Manchu Tatars. The city of Pyongyang abandoned by the Qing Dynasty.

Just when North Korea's monarchs and ministers heard the news, they were overjoyed. This year's 15 kilograms of military rations were indeed not in vain. Ming's father still loved them, and immediately sent officials to prepare to take over Pyongyang City.

Then, the father of the Ming army refused to leave, and Wang Zongtan directly drove him away... No, it was a gift to send away the Pyongyang officials sent by North Korea. The reason was that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was close at hand and could come back at any time, so he had to stay here. , to ensure the security of North Korea.

And then, there is no then.

In this way, the Ming army openly gathered the refugees in Pyongyang, settled in the fields and built the city, and at the same time quickly sent the generals of the Clippers back to Nanjing.

When the North Korean monarchs and ministers received the news, Zhu Yijiong's imperial edict also arrived, still in two copies. One of them comforted the North Korean monarchs and ministers, and the other of them commended Wang Zongtan and promoted him to a higher rank.

As for the Ming army stationed in Pyongyang City and not leaving, that is not mentioned at all.

North Korea's monarchs and ministers were dumbfounded. Is Pyongyang just gone?

Some knowledgeable people in North Korea have even realized that the Great Tomorrow Army may not only want Pyongyang City, but also the entire Pyongyang Road including Pyongyang, and the adjacent Hamgyong Road.

After all, Hamgyeong Road and Ping'an Road (northern part) were originally taken by North Korea in the late Yuan Dynasty, taking advantage of the chaos in China.

Moreover, Emperor Taizong Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty later went to North Korea to ask for it, but North Korea refused to return it.They also made excuses from ancient texts, saying that these lands were not recorded in ancient texts and were not Chinese territory.

Zhu Di was annoyed and fortunately acquiesced, but North Korea also paid a price. The [-] cavalry that North Korea inherited from the demise of the Yuan Dynasty were forced to take away by Zhu Di.

Judging from the strategic intentions at the time, it cannot be said that Zhu Di was short-sighted.After all, Hamjing and Ping'an Road at that time were just rotten land covered in mountainous areas.North Korea took it mainly for the strategic defense line. It has always adopted a high-pressure policy towards this place and does not regard it as its territory at all.

The most interesting thing is that the Ming army occupied Pyongyang City.

Not only did the North Korean monarchs and ministers dare not let go of anything, but the Korean people in Hwanghae Province and Hamgyeong Province fled to Pyongyang City under the rule of the Ming army because they could not bear the oppression of the North Korean officials.

Within half a year, the Ming army gathered more than [-] North Korean civilians in Pyongyang.

Due to the language barrier, in order to facilitate management, the Ming army could only select those who could speak Chinese and Chinese characters from the Korean gentry who fled north to serve as temporary prefects and county magistrates.

Despite the language barrier, none of the North Korean gentry and common people who escaped escaped, but more and more came.

There is no other reason, because the taxes collected by the Ming army are very low, and there are no messy exorbitant taxes.

It wasn't until the new King of Joseon, Lee Yeon, finally reacted and sent troops to intercept the border of Hwanghae Province that he was able to contain it a little... What a ghost!

Li Bin, the new king of North Korea, the master of the resurgence of North Korea in another time and space, did not behave like a wise king at this time.

It was probably more than a year of exile in Tamra that changed his mentality.

Although the Ming army in the north occupied Pyongyang City, they managed to hold off the Manchu and Qing Tatars.Moreover, he continued to pay tribute to the emperor's beauties, so the throne was naturally at ease.

In this case, it is time to renovate and expand the palace.

In history, this palace was rebuilt several times by North Korea, but each time it was due to various reasons. It was either destroyed by heavy rains or invaded by foreign enemies when it was half-renovated.

Now, it is difficult to seize the opportunity of stability.

You've been alone and scared for so long, but you still can't enjoy yourself?

　North Korean people cannot speak Chinese or Chinese characters, but their upper class likes to learn Chinese and Chinese characters very much because it is very classy...
