Chapter 29: The Haixi Offensive

When the fierce battle on both sides of the Yalu River was thick.

On the side of Haixi Town, 10,000 steps were also prepared, ready to go south.

Although the army of Haixi Town is weak, the external environment is surprisingly good. The Jurchen and Uliangha tribes were separated from the Watts. They all paid tribute to the imperial court, and as soon as the imperial court gave an order, they broke away from the situation of the tile spur and defected to the imperial court.

Although Zhu Qizhen will not believe these wall grass.

But there is one thing he can be sure of.

That is, among the 30,000 soldiers in Haexi Town, some of them can be drawn out to participate in the war against North Korea.

Naturally, the Haixi general army could not move, and it was Jin Fancha who really led the troops.

That is, the ancestor of Aixin Jueluo, of course he didn't know that his descendants would have a great future, and at this moment he was bent on being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

And when he was a teenager, he actually grew up in North Korea and knew the terrain well.

Not to mention, he also has an arm, that is, Jin Zongrui's son, Jin Chengliu.

Today's Jin Chengliu is already a member of the Ming army. However, he is now affiliated with Jinyiwei.

Now is where he comes into play

Jin Zongrui was in the six towns of Yanbian, North Korea before his death, and he had many relatives and friends who had passed away.

Therefore, before the start of the war, Jin Chengliu had already infiltrated the most important town of the six towns in Yanbian. It's the town of Huining.

So at the end of April of the eighteenth year of orthodoxy, there were people in Huining City who opened the city gate, Jin Fancha led 10,000 horsemen, entered Huining Town, after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, Huining became the first place to fall into the head of the imperial court in this big war.

Immediately, Jin Fancha was like a bamboo, conquering the remaining five towns one by one, and taking all the six towns of Yanbian, which were only included in the territory of Korea during the Joseon Sejong period.

The fall of the six towns of Yanbian shook the whole of Korea.

For most Koreans, they were pessimistic about this war, thinking that the Ming court would win, but they never expected that there would be such a big mistake just over a month after the actual war began.

For a while, countless news reached Li Jin's hands.

One is that the envoy clasped his head again and again in front of Li Ji and said: "King, the six towns of Yanbian have fallen, and Hamgyong Road is dangerous. ”

Li Yao said: "I know. You don't have a rumor about it. ”

"The little ones know the weight." The messenger said.

Li Yao smiled faintly and said, "That's good." Then he got up and paced slowly, walked to the weapon rack, and said, "This matter is very important-----

The messenger immediately said, "The little one must be tight-lipped." ”

Li Yao took off the long sword hanging on the wall and said, "It's good that you know." "Reflexively, draw your sword, stab, from behind the messenger

The heart is inserted and emerges from the chest.

"Only the dead can keep their mouths shut." Li Yao said lightly. Then he drew his sword, and the messenger fell to the ground, and he took out a white cloth from the side, and gently wiped the blood stains from the long sword.

Li Jin is not worried about Yanbian, but now the pressure on the Yalu River is quite great.

So big that Li Yao was worried that the army could collapse at any time.

Not to mention anything else, just a few hundred artillery pieces of famous generals are simply the power of heaven and earth, and the whole of Korea is terrified, especially the lower-level soldiers, who began to say something, the Ming army has ghosts and gods to help.

Morale is fragile.

At this time, any transfer of troops from the front line by Li Yao may become a breakthrough in morale collapse.

In this situation, Li Yao is doing everything he can, and he can only respond to all changes with the same. If you don't move, you can still be like a mountain, and if you move, I'm afraid it will be a situation where the ground collapses and the mountains are urging.

Of course, he can calm down, and he has a way to deal with it.

It's just that his coping method is not here, but in Seoul.

Seoul, in Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Countless Korean ministers knelt on the ground, pressed by the soldiers, and they loudly scolded Han Huiming, what is disloyal and unfilial, rebellious ministers and thieves, will be punished by God, and there will be no good end or anything.

But does Han Huiming care about this?

When he assisted the Shouyang Maharaja in the coup, he thought about such a situation.

It's just that some people are never willing to be subordinate to their subordinates, such as Han Huiming.

Zhang Liang, the prince of Shouyang, before the age of thirty, had always been in poverty, failed the imperial examination, had no way to seek officials, and had no place to use his talent, but worked under mediocrity and was criticized everywhere.

It is precisely because of this that Han Huiming and the prince of Shouyang, the monarch and the ministers met together. Under the command of the Lord of Shouyang, he can do such a thing and give full play to his talents.

For himself, he would rather die vigorously than live in solitude.

At this moment, these people scolded him with these words, he almost wanted to laugh, could it be that if he didn't do such a thing, he would have a good end. He waved his hand gently. The people below immediately understood, and with the swing of the long knife, dozens of human heads turned into rolling gourds.

Han Huiming's gaze swept over the ministers in the palace, and the rest of the ministers all pressed their heads tightly on the floor, not daring to raise their heads.

Han Huiming knew that these may not be convincing, once the situation changes, it is estimated that there will be many rebels, and his own head is estimated to die in the hands of one of these people.

But in such a critical situation, he can only take one step at a time.

Under Han Huiming's butcher's knife, the political turmoil caused by the fall of the six towns of Yanbian was calmed down.

Immediately, Han Huiming also arranged for Li Yao's followers, and dispatched tens of thousands of troops from the south to support Hamgyong Province, plus the six towns of Yanbian went south, the roads were difficult to travel, and there were many mountainous areas, so only a few were stuck

place, let the Ming army move south.

And the result was just as Han Huiming expected.

After the Ming army conquered the six towns of Yanbian, it could not attack it if it attacked further south.

It's not that the North Korean army is capable of fighting. However, there are too few soldiers under Jin Fandeng's command, although Haixi Town can move south in a big way, and all 30,000 soldiers will be dispatched to defeat Hamgyong Road, there is no problem.

However, although the strategic environment in the western part of the strait is relatively good, it is not always the mainland, and it is impossible to evacuate the army.

Therefore, Jin Fanden defeated the six towns of Yanbian and surrendered 10,000 or 20,000 Korean soldiers, let them take the lead, and he pressed the formation behind, although the Korean army retreated step by step, but on the whole, it was impossible to have a decisive victory.

It's just that now, the North Korean army has used more than 200,000 people.

This is already the limit of North Korea's national strength.

Although North Korea is a big country with a population of millions, it is really counted as more than one million strong men of appropriate age, and when it comes to this prefecture, almost half of the country's males are used.

Because it is not only the soldiers who go into battle to fight, but also the grain and grass that are transported, the strong men, and the labor force in the back.

King Sejong's old foundation was all squeezed out by him, an unfilial son.

Even in the historical Battle of Imjin, that is, the Ming Dynasty's aid to Korea, the number of troops that North Korea participated in from beginning to end is estimated to be less than 200,000, which is already the peak of the national strength of ancient Korea.

But it's a pity that compared with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is not that he looks down on that country, but in today's world, that country is a younger brother.

Although Zhu Qizhen pulled out the military expenses from between his teeth, they were more than the savings left by King Sejong in his life.

Supporting 200,000 troops to continue fighting is also an impossible pressure for North Korea to withstand.

Less than two months after the start of the war, Han Huiming already felt the feeling of spending money like a landslide. This is also the reason why he suppressed two classes of nobles in Seoul.

Because in order for this war to continue, he had to withhold money from two classes of nobles.

Although Li Jin has taken control of the state power, most of the old ministers left by King Sejong are still in a violent and uncooperative attitude towards Li Jin.

Stand by and never get involved.

Therefore, Han Huiming could only use a butcher's knife and let them pay money and grain.

He knew that doing this would actually be detrimental to Li Jin's regime, but it was already the case, even if he drank to quench his thirst, he had to drink this poison, because if he didn't do this, there would be no future.

Han Huiming's Yu Li Yao, that is, the eldest grandson Wuji to Li Shimin, Yao Guangxiao to Emperor Taizong, the elder of the Han Huiming Dynasty in history, has a prominent position in North Korea, and the descendants of the family are married to the royal family. It's just that in this historical plane, it may not be.

When Han Huiming and Li Jinjunchen work together to support the situation, the final blow that they can't bear is coming.
