Chapter 389: Liaodong Battle

The battle between the People's Army and the Tatars at the border pass continued, and on the other side, 12 divisions led by Han Lin, deputy commander of the first group, had successfully entered the Liaodong region.

The main reason is that the emperor is dead, the Ming Dynasty has perished, the Ming Dynasty is gone, and even the vast majority of the entire Chinese land has been occupied by the People's Army, in the face of the attack of 100,000 people's troops, the remaining Liaodong Ming Army can't fight at all, and there is no need to continue fighting, after all, the Ming Dynasty is gone, and they just want to live well now.

The treatment given by the People's Army to the Ming soldiers is good enough, and if they are returned home, they can all be allocated to the fields according to the treatment of ordinary people, and if there is land, they are not afraid that they will not be able to support their families.

The People's Army also selected suitable people from the Ming Army in Liaodong to join, and more than half of the selected Ming soldiers and soldiers accepted it, they have been soldiers for several years, they are used to the life of soldiers, and it does not matter if they continue to be soldiers, and the treatment of the People's Army is better.

It's just that the People's Army is strictly disciplined, and many Ming soldiers can't stand it, so they have to give up the opportunity to join the People's Army.

In fact, there is another very important factor in the surrender of the Ming army in Liaodong to the People's Army, that is, the situation in the Liaodong region.

Originally, there were four forces in the Liaodong region, namely the Liaodong Ming Army, the Tatars, the Jurchens, and the Wakos.

Now the Tatars have gathered to invade the border passes, and the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Japanese have joined forces to attack the Haixi Jurchens.

The situation in Liaodong is already so dangerous, if the People's Army does not come, it is very likely that the Ming Army in Liaodong will break out a big battle with the enemy, I don't know how many people will die in this war, the People's Army will come, and Liaodong will be handed over to the People's Army, and if it is to fight, the People's Army will fight.

It would take some time for the KPA to take control of the whole of Liaodong, and shortly after the KPA entered Liaodong, the deceased king of Goryeo sent an envoy to the KPA commander, expressing Goryeo's willingness to submit to the KPA and hoping that the KPA would help Goryeo regain the territory occupied by the Wa Kingdom.

For the Goryeo envoy, Han Lin never wanted to see him at all, and directly ordered someone to drive him away, if he didn't leave, he would stay there, and if it affected the People's Army, he could directly ask for the crime.

The top level of the People's Army has already made a good judgment on the countries outside the land of China, there is no need for other countries to be vassals, all countries are enemies, and the People's Army needs to occupy more land outside the land of China in order to feed more people.

In other words, in Han Lin's heart, the original location of the Goryeo Kingdom had already been regarded by Han Lin as his own territory, but this territory was now in the hands of the Japanese Invaders, and when the People's Army had time, it would take back the territory from the Japanese Invaders.

It is expected that Han Lin will be in charge of the future war against the Japanese invaders. Don't look at the fact that for the time being, the People's Army only has three group armies, the first, second, and third, and Han Lin is one of the two deputy commanders of the First Group Army, and the other deputy commander is Xiong Jian.

When the People's Army is founded, the People's Army will be redivided into five major corps: Central, Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern, with Han Lin as the commander of the Northern Legion, Xiong Jian as the commander of the Western Legion, and Wang Shengrong as the commander of the Central Army.

The Tatars, the Jurchens, and the Wakos, these are the enemies for which the Northern Army is responsible.

Regarding the entry of the People's Army into Liaodong, the Jianzhou Jurchens, who had been staring at various places in Liaodong, were the first to know that the Japanese did not know that the People's Army had entered Liaodong, and even if they knew, they would not care.

The destruction of the Goryeo Kingdom in half a year greatly increased the confidence of the high-level of the Japanese State, and when the Haixi Jurchens were destroyed, and then subdued or destroyed the Jianzhou Jurchens, the next target would be the land of China, in the eyes of the high-level of the Japanese State, it would only take two years at most for the Japanese army to occupy the entire land of China.

During the occupation of Goryeo, the Japanese burned and plundered everywhere they went, and in Jinju alone, more than 60,000 soldiers and civilians were slaughtered/killed, and when they occupied the whole of Goryeo, the number of Korean casualties exceeded 500,000, and it continues to increase, while the population of the whole of Goryeo was estimated to be 6 or 7 million before the war.

The ambitions of the Jurchens were very great, and the ambitions of the Jurchens in Jianzhou were not small, and the total population of the Jurchen tribes together was not as large as that of the Goryeo, but the Jurchens, like the Tatars, were almost all soldiers.

The Jianzhou Jurchens, who were the weakest, could pull out 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry and 40,000 or 50,000 infantry when they did not attack the Haixi Jurchens with the Japanese invaders.

Nurhachi, the leader of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, dreamed of unifying the Jurchen tribes, even if they united with foreigners, and the Jurchens who did not obey his rule were enemies.

It turned out that Nurhachi hoped to use the strength of the Ming court to unify the Jurchen tribes, but it was unsuccessful, and the Ming court wanted the Jurchen tribes to fight and contain each other, consuming the strength of the Jurchens, just like the Ming court's method of dealing with the Tatars and Warats, hoping that the Tatars and Warats would contain each other, but unfortunately the implementation was not very successful, and the Tatars would invade the border every year.

The Jianzhou Jurchens successfully defeated the Haixi Jurchens under the alliance with the Japanese Invaders, and now the Haixi Jurchens have lost a large area of territory and are not far from being destroyed.

It is true that the Jianzhou Jurchens did die a lot when attacking the Haixi Jurchens, but Nurhachi also subdued many Haixi Jurchen tribes, and the strength of the Jianzhou Jurchens not only did not decline, but increased, and the total number of troops in Nurhachi's hands was about to exceed 100,000.

When attacking the Haixi Jurchens, Nurhachi also sent people to observe the Wakos, and the strength of the Wakos surprised Nurhachi a little, don't look at the Wakos who are shorter than the Jurchens, but their combat effectiveness is not bad.

The weapons of the Jianzhou Jurchens were mainly bows and arrows, but the Japanese were equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery, and the range of bows and arrows was not as good as that of muskets and artillery.

However, Nurhachi was not worried about starting a war with the Wakos, and chose to be in the jungle terrain, believing that a single Jurchen warrior could defeat at least three Wako dwarves.

Of course, Nurhachi is now pretending to submit to the Japanese Kou, thinking about subduing the Haixi Jurchens as much as possible and increasing the strength of the Jianzhou Jurchens, the population and adult men are the strength, there are not enough people and adult men, and the Jianzhou Jurchens can do too little, even if they defeat a large area of territory, they do not have enough troops to defend the territory.

The Jianzhou Jurchens and the Japanese Kou, the two forces with their own ghosts, worked together, and the Haixi Jurchens were unlucky, and the Haixi Jurchen tribes continued to flee north, and they could not resist the enemy at all.

In fact, it was also the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Japanese Kou who attacked the Haixi Jurchens a little suddenly, if the Haixi Jurchens had prepared in advance, they would not have been beaten so badly.
