Emperor Taiji, the slave chieftain of Liaodong, has been struggling with one problem since the beginning of this year, that is, grain and grass.

Originally, in history, at this time, Azig led Jianyu to enter the customs from October last year, and at this time, he had already looted a large number of people and grain and grass materials from the customs and returned to Liaodong.

However, in this plane, because of the sudden change in the Ming State's strategy towards Liao, the most critical thing is that the destruction of the Eight Great Jin Merchants made the Jianyu of Liaodong blind to the Guannei, and it was impossible to break through the Guannai from the weak place of the Ming State.

The only source of food and grass is from North Korea.

However, how can North Korea have a Ming country to be rich, and after being forcibly asked for grain and grass twice before and after Jianyu, Jianguo has survived this winter, but in North Korea, there are anti-thieves swarming.

Since the beginning of this year, the DPRK has been unable to quell the rebellion on its own, and has asked the Jianyu side several times to help quell the rebellion, but it means that it cannot provide grain and grass, and the Jianguo must bring its own.

Isn't that a joke!

Although Huang Taiji knew the dangers of fishing in the dry water, if possible, he certainly wanted to help North Korea suppress the rebellion, so that he could get more things from North Korea in the future. However, the Qing Dynasty has no food, how can it send troops?

The most important thing is that the Korean naval division, no, it is the Daqingshui Division, has been training to defeat the Ming army on Phi Dao, and even if the money and food consumed are saved, it is a very large expense, and it was not available before the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, the Ming army on Phi Island tried in every possible way to go ashore to make trouble, and the defensive battles along the coast also forced the Qing Dynasty to consume much more money and food than before.

With such a combination, to be honest, Huang Taiji still wants to ask North Korea for money and food!

Without money and food, the soldiers of the Mongolian tribes in the steppe could not afford to pay for them.

Forced by the current situation, Huang Taiji has sent people several times to ask the Great Qingshui Division if it is possible to start a war?

Haoge, who is the commander of the Great Qingshui Division, is very refreshing, and every time Huang Taiji sends someone to ask, he pats his chest and says it's no problem!

However, Huang Taiji was not at ease, his main reference was still those Han generals and the commanders of Korea. The answer they got here was completely different from Hauge's, saying that they had to train to be completely sure.

In this regard, Huang Taiji had no choice but to put down his anxious thoughts.

Because he also knew that the Qing Dynasty did not have the ability to build ships, and if there was a loss of naval warships, there would be one less if they lost one. And North Korea is already so poor that it is impossible to provide grain and grass, and where will they get the money and grain to build ships.

For this reason, in order to eliminate the Ming army that came to Liaodong to harass in one fell swoop, Huang Taiji still endured and endured.

However, by the time of July, he could not wait any longer, because according to the North Korean side and his men on the Yalu River, the Ming army on Phi Dao had a tendency to unite with the Korean rebels. To be precise, it was the North Korean rebels who contacted the Ming army on Phi Dao and found a backer, which was quite unfavorable to the North Korean side.

If the Ming army on Phi Island is not defeated as soon as possible, the Korean side is likely to betray the Qing Dynasty and defect to the Ming Kingdom, which is quite unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty.

As a result, the Daqingshui Division ended its training, left Juehua Island in a mighty way, and began to sweep the Ming army along the coastline, with the ultimate goal of Phi Dao.

In order to ensure the success of this war, Huang Taiji could not sit still in Shengjing, and personally led the elite Manchurian Eight Banners to Jinzhou. He knew that the final decisive battle would definitely be on the side of Phi Dao.

He is not very demanding, not to mention the total annihilation of the Ming State Naval Division, as long as he can fight equally, or cover the elite Manchurian Eight Banners to land on Phi Island, this battle will be won.

In the middle of August of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, when Zhang Mingwei left Shu and went to Jingdezhen to inspect the glass factory, which is crucial for the development of science and technology, Huang Taiji also led the army to Zhenjiang Fort secretly.

Zhenjiang Fort, located on the Yalu River, opposite Sinuiju, was also in the hands of Jianyu at this time. However, Huang Taiji did not cross the river. Therefore, at this time, there were patrol boats of the Ming army on the river. Once you cross the river, you will be detected by the Ming army.

The Jianyu Naval Division, with more than 800 large and small ships, also swept along the coastline.

According to the news that Kuaima reported to Zhenjiang, the journey was quite smooth. The islands along the way, including Hiroshima Island, Hiroshima Island, Shicheng Island and Kashima Island, where the Ming army, which had been entrenched in the coastal harassment of the Qing Dynasty, all fled in a hurry and fled to Phi Dao.

At this point, there is no need to hide the news.

Huang Taiji gave the order, and the army crossed the river and drove to Tieshan, which was the closest land to Phi Dao, only 8 miles away.

At this time, Jianyu's intentions were exposed, and the momentum was strong, and it was the strongest in Jianyu's history!

Of course, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to let North Korea go and let North Korea watch the show. When the requisition order passed, the atmosphere in the Korean court immediately changed.

In general, the influence of the Ming Dynasty on North Korea is definitely not something that can be completely replaced in just a dozen years. The Korean monarchs and ministers are basically towards the Ming Dynasty.

But the Ming Dynasty was not angry, and he couldn't beat Jianguo, and later, even Phi Island was captured by Jianguo, of course, there was North Korea to contribute, and they provided warships.

Since then, the Korean court has always been a faction close to Jianju, represented by Kim Zidian, who has the upper hand. Like Lin Qingye, who was tough on Jianyu, he was betrayed by Jin Zidian and was arrested and taken to Liaodong during the Chinese New Year last year.

However, as the Ming army rebuilt Donggang Town, Injo of North Korea was repeated, especially after knowing that the rebels in North Korea had gone to join the Ming army, he was even more panicked. If the rebels have the support of the rebels, it is an absolute threat to his throne.

And at this time, the Ming army's raid on the hinterland of Liaodong last year had also spread to the North Korean side. This made the Korean monarchs and ministers restore a lot of confidence, and Jin Zidian's life was not easy, and he was limited by Renzu, and even the DPRK and China had proposed that Jianyu release Lin Qingye to return to the country, on the grounds that Lin Qingye had a good command of the army, which could put down the rebels in North Korea as soon as possible.

However, this period did not last long, and when the envoy arrived in Seoul, Jin Zidian gained power again.

In the Korean court, he was alone, and he talked eloquently, which became the words of his family.

"In the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing Dynasty soldiers sent Phi Island, and it was decided by the first war."

"The Qing casualties were only 260, and the Ming people on the island were killed by tens of thousands of people, and the general soldiers and so on were also killed."

"Your Majesty, colleagues, how can the Ming Kingdom stop the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Last time, it was the eighth prince who led the troops, and now this time, it is the Qing Emperor who personally leads the troops, how can Phi Dao exist again?"

“……”

The Korean monarchs and ministers were all speechless by him, and they all bowed their heads one by one, and no one dared to refute.

Jin Zidian saw that he had almost finished speaking, so he saluted Renzu and said, "The Qing Emperor is coming, although there is no request, but the king should personally go to pick up the driver." In this way, in case the Qing Emperor is happy, it is not necessary to exempt our country from tribute! ”

In the past, when it was still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it was still necessary to worry about the tribute, but at this time, the tribute to Jianyu was really a big mountain in the hearts of the Korean monarchs and ministers. When Injo heard this, he was a little moved.

However, he still hesitated: "But if you go to Iron Mountain, it will cost a lot of money and food!" ”

"Your Majesty, the cost of money and food is small, but the Qing Emperor is happy!" When Jin Zidian heard this, he hurriedly persuaded, "Once the Qing Emperor is happy, maybe he can send troops to help us suppress the thieves!" ”

After finishing speaking, he saw that Renzu was still hesitating, so he continued to persuade: "The Ming army of Phi Dao is eye-to-eye, and the anti-thief eyebrows, even if the king sent an envoy, he didn't give a good face, and said that he had to show the Ming Emperor before he could make a decision." Now that the destruction of the Ming army on Phi Island is imminent, don't hope for the Ming army anymore! ”

In the end, he once again used a killer weapon that tried and tested: "In case of angering the Qing Emperor, this matter can be one or the other, and the survival of my North Korea is all in the thoughts of the Qing Emperor!" ”

The two Jianyu attacks on North Korea were overwhelming, which made Renzu already frightened, and when he heard Jin Zidian's words, he no longer hesitated, and said to Jin Zidian: "The widow is tired, just follow what Qing said, and go to discuss with the keel!" ”

The keel is big, it is Ying Ordai, and it is also the messenger sent by Huang Taiji this time.

So, under the coercion and temptation of Jin Zidian, Joseon Injo personally came to the civil and military officials and went north with a large number of troops to meet Huang Taiji, which naturally brought the strongest force in North Korea.

………………

On the side of Phi Island, the chief soldier Li Laiheng naturally also received the news, not only knowing that the Jianyu Water Division was sweeping all the way, but also knowing that the slave chief Taiji led the troops to Tieshan. It can be seen that Jianyu is imperative for Phi Dao.

In this regard, Li Laiheng said to Zheng Fusong: "How is it, I have endured it for so long, I should be happy this time, right?" ”

Zheng Fusong is only eighteen years old, and Li Laiheng is only a few years older than Zheng Fusong. Because of their age, the relationship between the two of them is very good.

Of course, this is also the reason why Li Laiheng is more good at being a person. Because he knew that if his Dongjiang Town was to be invincible, the sailor was very important.

And the sailors under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town are not so much the Denglai sailors as the Zheng family's private fleet. Therefore, a harmonious relationship with the commander of the water division is the premise of whether Dongjiang Town can gain a long-term foothold in Liaodong.

When he first came before, Zheng Hongkui's suggestion made the Ming army's sailors hide their strength all the time, and only showed up as part of the sailors. However, those who waited left and right just couldn't wait for the main force of the Jianyu Water Division, which made Zheng Fusong a little anxious.

Several times, he asked Li Laiheng to fight, wanting to lead the main force of the water division to go directly to the Jianyu water division.

However, this proposal was still rejected by Li Laiheng.

It's not that this can't be done, for the victory or defeat, Li Laiheng still believes in this Zheng family fleet. It's that he has his problems!
