Chapter 363: Jurchen Part III

According to the investigation of Goryeo by the Military Intelligence Department, the army of Goryeo has a lot of troops, but its armament is weak, and its combat effectiveness is similar to that of the landlord armed forces in the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty had not sent an elite army to defeat and drive away the Wa State/army, the territory of Goryeo would have been completely occupied by the Wa State, and Goryeo would not have been able to stop it at all.

However, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is almost impossible to send troops to support Goryeo, and the People's Army has absolute certainty of destroying the Ming court, and after the destruction of the Ming court/the land of China, it will have to face the Japanese state/army that occupies the whole of Goryeo and even marches to Liaodong.

Originally, it was supposed that the Ming court was facing the Tatars, the Wa State, and the Donghu Dynasty at the same time, and after the People's Army replaced the Ming Court, it was the People's Army that faced these three enemies at the same time.

Therefore, the KPA should prepare in advance.

However, in Fang Nan's view, it was more difficult for the People's Army to deal with the Ming court than it was to deal with the three enemies of the Tatars, the Wa Kingdom, and the Donghu Dynasty.

No matter how strong the three enemies of the Tatars, the Wa State, and the Donghu Dynasty were, they could not be stronger than the Ming Court, which waved a million troops to encircle and suppress the People's Army a few years ago, especially the 500,000-strong army of Li Chengliang, which was equipped with a large number of firearms, and it was not a problem to defeat the Wa State and the Donghu Dynasty, only when facing the Tatars, the Tatars were mainly cavalry, and they were highly mobile, so they could only use cavalry to deal with cavalry.

Li Chengliang had formed the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but he could not face the assembled Tatar cavalry.

More importantly, when the People's Army was at war with the Ming Army, it should also pay attention to the common people, and it did not want to hurt many ordinary people because of the war.

When fighting with the three enemies of the Tatars, the Wa Kingdom, and the Taungoo Dynasty, the first thing to do is to keep the enemy out of the country, and the next step is to go abroad to drive the enemy away or even destroy it.

The Donghu Dynasty is weak because the territory is too narrow, and it directly borders the land of China, once the army is over, the Donghu Dynasty can only resist to the end or surrender, and there is no other choice.

The Tatars could choose to migrate to distant tribes, and the Wa could choose to evacuate Goryeo and return to the Wa homeland, and the People's Army could not destroy the Tatars without a strong cavalry force, nor could it destroy the Wa without a strong navy.

Fang Nan handed over the formulation of the battle plan against the Tatars, the Wa Kingdom, and the Taungoo Dynasty to the Ministry of War, and now the more important thing for the People's Army was to deal with the Ming court.

A large amount of logistical supplies have been delivered to the border cities for storage, and except for the KPA that has remained in various places, other troops are gathering in the border areas.

A month before the outbreak of the war, officials from Guangdong Province will set off first, and half a month later, officials from the other four provinces will also gather in the border cities.

When the war breaks out and the KPA attacks the city, the officials will quickly follow suit, set up KPA governments in various places, and work with the army to complete control over the area.

The merchants in the area ruled by the People's Army are also acting, the speed of action of the major chambers of commerce is slower than that of the People's Army, they need to wait for the People's Army to pacify the places, and the manpower of the merchants will follow into the local area, an unequal and dangerous area, the merchants send people over is almost to die, and the caravan is one of the favorite targets of bandits and bandits.

Just when the People's Army was fully preparing for war, the Goryeo envoy finally arrived in the capital, wanting to meet the Ming Emperor and begging the Ming Emperor to send troops to support Goryeo.

But to disappoint the Goryeo envoy, Zhu Yijun heard the news that Goryeo was invaded by the Japanese state, and he didn't care at all, regardless of whether it was true or not, Zhu Yijun was thinking about the People's Army, thinking about how to resist the People's Army, thinking about how to kill the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army, Goryeo was just a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and it didn't matter if it was destroyed.

Unable to meet the Ming Emperor, the Goryeo envoys were summoned, and immediately sent people to visit the ministers, scholars, squires, imperial historians, and eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, and even expressed their willingness to attach themselves to the Ming Dynasty, trying to urge the Ming Dynasty to send troops to support Goryeo as soon as possible.

It's just that the people sent out are all closed, and at this time, the Goryeo envoy also learned some information about the Ming Dynasty.

Earlier, the news of the emergence of thieves in the Ming Dynasty has reached Goryeo, in the eyes of the king and courtiers of Goryeo, this kind of thing does not need to be cared about at all, the Ming Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, there are millions of elite troops, not a small thief can be shaken, and there is no continued attention.

Unexpectedly, this thief actually became more powerful, and he needed Daming to go all out, and he couldn't spare himself to send troops to support Goryeo.

More specifically, the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to resist the People's Army, which was the news that the Goryeo envoys could not know.

The war on the territory of Goryeo continued, in the first half of May, the Japanese army/army captured the Goryeo king Gyeonghanseong, the Goryeo king Yi Hao rushed out to Pyongyang, the Japanese state/army of the first, second, and third armies pursued, broke through the Imjin garrison and captured Kaesong, Li Hao left Pyongyang and continued to flee to the border between Daming and Goryeo, and on June 15, the Japanese army/army successfully captured Pyongyang.

In just two months, more than one-third of Goryeo's territory fell into the hands of the Wa State, and the Goryeo army was vulnerable.

Seeing that they had occupied one-third of Goryeo so quickly, the high-ranking members of the Wa State/Army were all smiling, and they even thought that after occupying Goryeo, they would continue to march eastward and occupy the vast and rich land in the east.

When the Japanese people are trying to learn from the Chinese civilization and become a little stronger, they think about how to occupy the land of China.

The war on the territory of Goryeo was also noticed by the Jianju Jurchens in Liaodong, and the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens at this time was none other than Nurhachi, who wondered if he could gain anything from this war.

The Jianzhou Jurchen nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and they also had to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, and Nurhachi also knew about the appearance of a big enemy in the south of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty's army in Liaodong did not move too much, even if Nurhachi had some ideas in his heart, he would not act rashly.

More importantly, the Jianzhou Jurchens also have an enemy, that is, the Haixi Jurchen Division, and further north there is the Beishan Jurchen Division, although everyone is a Jurchen, but the Jurchens of each department are enemies of each other, and they must defeat the enemy and conquer the enemy with strength.

Nurhachi was wondering if he could find an ally and defeat the Haixi Jurchens with him, invading the Wa Kingdom of Goryeo seemed to be an option, and Goryeo didn't have to think about it at all, it was too weak, and the Ming side didn't need to think about it, and the Ming had enough vigilance against the Jianzhou Jurchen.
