Wei Bao also suspected that Jiannu's action this time was aimed at himself, and he couldn't help but admire Jiannu's organization and coordination ability.

Wei Bao didn't believe that Jiannu had such an agent system like him, such an efficient and rigorous intelligence system.

Wei Bao is very confident in his intelligence system.

After looking at the map for a while, Wei Bao was even more sure that the target of Jiannu's attack now was actually the most beneficial to Jiannu.

"Let's send a message like this first. The two provinces of North Korea paid attention to the transfer of materials, and Jiannu did not have a sailor, and everything that could be protected was transported to Ganghwa Island to be protected. Wei Bao said.

"But how can people and land be transported to Ganghwa Island? Jiannu will rob and kill people, and will destroy arable land. Princess Zhenming said excitedly: "They will also destroy houses and carry out large-scale destruction. At that time, the common people of North Korea will find that the treasure army is not even as good as the soldiers and horses of the Korean court, and the president will lose the hearts of the people, and it will be difficult to recover if the people's hearts are lost a little. ”

Wei Bao's chest was tight, he had always been a step-by-step tailwind, but his stall was a little too big, so he couldn't take care of all the places.

But Wei Bao knew that what Princess Zhenming said made sense, but there was no way, North Korea was flat and there was no danger to defend, so he couldn't let his people pull away from Jiannu, or fight a positional war, right? That way, he can't play Jiannu.

"Isn't there no way now? I can only complete the affairs on the Shandong side as soon as possible, rush to Liaodong as soon as possible to organize the Jiliao Border Army and the Liaodong Border Army to attack Jiannu, and contain Jiannu, so that Jiannu has no way to effectively attack North Korea. Wei Bao said.

"I'm not trying to interfere with the president's decision-making, I'm reluctant to give up the people and wealth of North Korea, and I'm just giving advice to the president." Princess Zhenming took a step back.

"I don't blame you." Wei Bao's face was expressionless and a little embarrassed, "Of course I know the importance of people's hearts!" You don't have to doubt my love for the Korean people, I have never treated the Korean people separately from the other Han Chinese people under my rule! North Korea belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and I treat them equally! We are now in a race against time, and we have to have a first-come-first-served approach! Didn't you see that the north of the Ming Dynasty was starving all over the wilderness, and millions of victims were frozen to death and starved to death? Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, we can't put all our resources into dealing with Jiannu, and we have to consider the people of Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai. ”

"Xiaobao, I think, you still listen to this princess, right? After all, the two provinces of North Korea are directly under the Tiandihui, which is actually more important than Shandong. Wu Sanfu couldn't help but say.

Princess Zhenming didn't expect Wu Sanfu to speak for the Korean people, so she couldn't help but look at Wu Sanfu gratefully.

Wei Bao couldn't help but feel a little pantothenic acid in his heart, a little unhappy, and secretly thought about you Wu Sanfu, have you taken a fancy to Princess Zhenming?

"Brother Sanfu, this is not the time to be emotional, Shandong, North Korea, and southern Liaoning, now you can only keep one place, how do you choose?" Wei Bao was a little louder.

Wu Xuexia also said: "Brother, don't talk, the president is already very annoying." We don't have much silver in our hands, you don't always think that heaven and earth will be rich, let's get a little silver, and put it all into industry. ”

Wei Bao smiled bitterly, knowing that Wu Xuexia had always been incomprehensible to her own development of industry, so she took the opportunity to remind herself, "Xuexia, industry will see results, and industry is not losing money, now it can remain flat, as for compulsory education and scientific research funding, this must not be stopped, this is related to the future plan!" Okay, let's just decide like this first, and I'll talk about it after I have a meeting with the managers of the Tiandi Society in various places. ”

"I'll just reply as the president intended? Shrink the forces behind the enemy in Jiannu, ignore the two provinces of Korea first, and let people pull everything they can pull to Ganghwa Island? Wu Xuexia asked.

"It's better not to move things, just smuggle away food and property, and pull everything away, which will cause panic among the North Korean people." The common people should be organized to prepare for the enemy! Princess Zhenming said.

Wei Bao nodded: "Just send an official letter according to the princess's wishes!" ”

Wu Xuexia nodded in agreement.

Wu Sanfu wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't help it, from Wei Bao's point of view, it was indeed difficult to choose so many things, and it was very painful.

Wei Bao has always had a headache about North Korea's problems, he just uses North Korea as a production base and a market for sales, and he has not thought about playing North Korea to invest resources.

In fact, Wei Bao is a bit selfish about North Korea, not to mention treating the people there as slaves, anyway, he doesn't see it as the same as the Han people.

Wei Bao is especially weak for North Korea, so weak that it is weaker than any place in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no way to do it.

Jiannu originally did not fight North Korea, if the Ming Dynasty was strong in the early stage, Jiannu attacked the dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would not sit idly by.

Once the Later Jin forces were trapped in Korea, the Ming Dynasty army could drive straight into the Later Jin's lair, and the North Korean army was too weak, and the Later Jin could fight against the Ming with all their might, leaving only a small part of the army to deter Korea

North Korea is weak, there is no way, this is mainly determined by geography and national character.

Geopolitics also affects the national character.

As a small border country in Northeast Asia, Korea has always been protected by the Ming Dynasty, a large country in the Central Plains.

Therefore, for thousands of years, North Korea has existed as a protectorate, and it is still difficult to survive, and it has no ambition to compete for hegemony. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the DPRK army is weak, and the weapons and equipment are backward. The army has a weak will to fight. Be content with the status quo and don't want to forge ahead.

Regarding the Wanli Korean War, historians have a saying, commenting on the situation in Korea before the start of the war, "The Korean old white surname, three hundred years, does not know soldiers". I don't know what soldiers are for 300 years. Can such a nation not be weak.

So it is not difficult to understand the situation in North Korea.

North Korea has a small population and does not have too many soldiers, which is due to the population base.

North Korea, as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, because it is only adjacent to the Ming Dynasty, and our Great Celestial Empire has always been a ceremonial state, only to protect the weak, will not bully others, so North Korea never needs to worry about national security, there is a problem can be solved by the suzerain, so there are basically no soldiers in the country, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi fought North Korea, North Korea did not use troops for 200 years, and there were basically no soldiers in various places, and it took only a few months to almost capture all of Korea.

Although the situation in North Korea has changed somewhat since then, it is still similar to before.

Houjin was established in 1616, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, although it was the 90s of the 16th century when Toyotomi Hideyoshi hit Korea, it was also the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, so it is conceivable how much the strength of Korea could not change in such a short period of time!

The low number of soldiers and the lack of combat effectiveness caused by the long absence of war will not be improved in the short term.

This is also why President Wei did not take many people to North Korea, so he swept around North Korea and got two ways.

Even the royal family of North Korea took the initiative to give Wei Baoteng a position, for fear that the Bao army would end them up.

This also caused the current North Korean problems to be mainly faced by Wei Bao, who could not be counted on the North Korean royal family.

The civil strife in the Ming Dynasty was one thing, North Korea was very weak internally, and the people were very poor, but the Later Jin was indeed a strong enemy.

The people of the Song Dynasty shouted an ancient saying, "The Jin soldiers are invincible in the world", which shows that the Jin soldiers are still a hard stubble, or Mongolia and other strong enemies can be recovered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which shows the strength of the Manchu Eight Banners at that time, not to mention a small North Korea.

It's just that North Korea has no value, maybe it can't even be considered chicken ribs in Nurha's red eyes, Liaodong and the Central Plains are like steamed buns, North Korea is just steamed buns, and buns can't be eaten and can they still take care of steamed buns.

Because attacking the Ming Dynasty will gain greater benefits. Moreover, at that time, because the rule of the Ming Dynasty was mediocre and corrupt, and because of the endless peasant uprisings, the Ming Dynasty had become a virtual appearance.

Therefore, it is a wise choice to choose to attack the Ming Dynasty, because it can make a lot of profit for yourself.

More importantly, the Ming Dynasty and Korea are interdependent, and if the Ming Dynasty falls, then Korea will also choose to surrender without a fight.

Under the background conditions of the time, the Ming Dynasty could be said to exist in name only, although it owned a large number of people and land. But because of the numerous peasant uprisings, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. It has long made the people's livelihood miserable. Therefore, such a ruler who has lost the hearts of the people is doomed to failure. And at that time, the rulers of the Later Jin Dynasty saw this in the Ming Dynasty.

That's why they chose to attack the Ming Dynasty, which was many times stronger than themselves.

Because if you win, you will get the land, and the population.

At that time, Hou Jin's strength became stronger and stronger due to his frequent southern and northern wars.

Houjin is mainly cavalry, and he is very brave and good at fighting. So it already has the strength to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty has long exhausted its strength because of the continuous natural and man-made disasters within the Ming Dynasty and the numerous peasant uprisings.

Therefore, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty were no longer able to organize a large-scale and effective counterattack, so that Houjin would take advantage of the loophole.

In 1408, in March of the sixth year of Yongle, the "female Naobarian leader Ha Thorn and others" who lived in the Kudi River, Fahu River, Zhuoer River, Haithorn River and other places Chao Ming, Ming "then merged their land into Jianzhou Wei".

The Hudi River is suspected to be the Fuda River, a tributary of the Huifa River, and the Haithorn River is suspected to be the Hailang River, a tributary of the Songhua River.

So far, the Jurchen distribution area under the jurisdiction of Jianzhou Wei has expanded westward to the southeast of present-day Jilin City, near the Sea of Japan in the east, the Muling River in the north, and the Tumen River in the south.

In the same year that the Ming court appointed Meng's brother Timur as the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, he placed Mao Lianwei in another Jurchen branch of the Huli Reform Department led by Er Xun in the north of the Tumen River and the Hunchun River valley as the Ziwei of the Jianzhou Guard.

Although the Huli Reform Department was divided into two guards, the Ming court appointed the Jurchen head of Jianzhou Wei or Mao Lianwei to serve in the other party's Wei Division, so later history books said that those who lived in Jianzhou, Mao Lian and other places were Jianzhou Jurchens.

Together with the Haixi Jurchen, the Savage Jurchen, and the East China Sea Jurchen, it is called the Jurchen three.

After the establishment of Jianzhouwei, Joseon believed that the Ming Dynasty was the Ming Dynasty to curb its development to the north, and in order to resist the Jurchens returning to the Ming Dynasty, they closed the trade of Qingyuan Bazaar, which caused resentment among the Jurchens.

In 1406, in the fourth year of Yongle, the Jurchens "plundered in the Qingyuan realm". As a result, they were repulsed by the North Korean army.

A few months later, Aha led his troops to Fengzhou in the Huibo River Valley, also known as Fengzhou, Fangzhou, Fangzhou, and Fangzhou. At the same time, there were also some residents of Mao Lianwei.

The Mengge Timur commanded the Duoli tribe and the Huli department to marry, and the two departments had a close relationship.

Therefore, Meng's brother Timur participated in the "Kouqingyuan Mansion" in the "Gengyin Incident", feared the Korean comeback, and in 1411, Yongle led his troops to move to Fengzhou in the ninth year, and lived in the place leading from Fengzhou to Kaiyuan.

In 1412, the tenth year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty separated the Mengge Timur Department from the Jianzhou Guard, and placed the Jianzhou Left Guard, with the Mengge Timur as the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard.

In 1423, Yongle led "more than 1,000 households to live in the Pozhu River".

The Po Hunt River is now the Hunjiang River, a tributary of the Yalu River.

Li Manzhu and other more than 400 households live in Weng Village, at the southern foot of Wushan City, in the middle reaches of the Hunjiang River, which is only one trip away from the Yalu River.

At the same time, those who moved to the Pozhu River basin also had the Ximao Guards under the command of Brother Meng. Brother Meng's brother Timur did not move south together, but first sent 27 people including Tong Jiawu to return to the former residence of Amuhe with more than 200 men and women, "with 1,000 regular troops, 6,250 slaves and children", and then returned to the Amu River area.

The reason why Meng's brother Timur was able to return to the Amuhe area was because he was agreed by Ming Taizong to return to "live in the original long-term residence".

After Li Manzhu and others moved to the Pozhu River valley, they were repeatedly attacked by the North Korean army.

Li Manzhu and others were forced to move to "Wumi House" in the upper reaches of the Fuer River, a tributary of the Pozhu River, in 1433, and Xuande led his troops in the eighth year.

Because the Joseon side mistakenly believed that Li Manzhu attacked Jiangjie, Yanyan and other places in Korea in 1432, in 1437, the second year of orthodoxy, he wanted to send troops to attack Wumifu.

When Li Manzhu heard the news, he moved westward again, and arrived at the Suzi River, a tributary of the Hunhe River, in the following year, and was known as "moving to the southeast of the Hunhe River in Zaotu Mountain".

The Jianzhou Zuowei people who followed the Mengge Timur to move back to the Amu River to live had sporadically moved to the Pozhujiang area before 1433, and in 1432, the seventh year of Xuande, the Mengge Timur told the Ming Qin that his "relatives were in the Pozhujiang and other places".

In the following year, because of his active assistance to Pei Junshu of the Ming Qincha, the Meng's brother Timur was also lured by Yang Mu Tawu from Kaiyuan to defect to the "scattered officers" and soldiers in the area of the Mudanjiang and Suifen River, and killed the leader of the "savages" Atagu in the conflict.

In the leap August of the same year, Yang Mu Dawu, who was originally a thousand households in Anle Prefecture, "entangled wild people everywhere, that is, the so-called" seven surnamed wild people "about 800 celebrities and horses", attacked Jianzhou Zuowei, Meng's brother Timur and his eldest son Agu and others were killed, the second son Tongcang was captured, the house was burned down, and the younger brother Fancha and others "all lost their places".

After the incident, the DPRK took the opportunity to send troops to the Amu River area.

Fancha asked the Ming court for help, but the Ming court only issued an edict ordering the "wild man" to return the Tong Cang, but did not send troops to ask for the crime.

On the way back, Fan Cha went to Li Manzhu to live, and Manzhu strongly persuaded Fan Cha to move to the same note.

In 1440, five years of orthodoxy, regardless of the interception of the Korean soldiers, he led more than 100 households to move to the Pozhu River basin, and met with Li Manxiang, the commander of Jianzhou Weidu, and lived in the area of Santu River and Pozhu River to the west of Donggu River.

At the same time, there were also some of the people of Dongmaolian.

After Fancha and Tongcang moved to the Pozhu River basin.

In 1442, in the seventh year of orthodoxy, the uncle and nephew had the "Weiyin Dispute" of the left guard of Jianzhou, that is, the struggle for leadership.

In order to settle the dispute, the Ming court analyzed the left guard of Jianzhou as the left and right two guards, and Tong Cang as the main son of the fierce brother Timur, the left guard, and the right guard of Fancha.

Since then, there has been the famous "Jianzhou Sanwei" in history.

In the three guards of Jianzhou, according to the records of the Korean historical books in 1451, there were more than 1,700 households in Jianzhou at that time, and there were only more than 600 households in the left and right two guards, totaling more than 2,300 households, with the largest number of households in Jianzhou. If calculated according to 5 people per household, the total population of Jianzhou Sanwei was less than 12,000 people.

However, it should be noted that whether it was Aha who moved out of the Suifen River Valley, or when Tongcang and Fancha moved south to the Pozhu River, there is a clear text in the history that some of the people of Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Zuowei did not move away, and when Tongcang and others moved south in 1440, more than half of the people of Zuowei were "stayed".

Although there were only more than 10,000 Jurchens in Jianzhou when they moved to the Pozhu River valley, they formed a powerful alliance group because they shared hardships and hardships during their long-term migration, and because of the increasing number of returnees.

When Nurhachi, the descendant of Mengge Timur, the descendant of Timur, appeared on the political stage, the 8 Jurchens of Jianzhou, the 4 Jurchens of Haixi and part of the Jurchens of the East China Sea were successively unified by him.

The 8 Jurchen divisions of Jianzhou and their distribution are: Sukesu River Moat Department; Zhechen Department, Wanyan Department, Dong E Department, Ne Yin Department, Zhusheli Department.

The predecessors often called the first 5 parts Manchuria 5, and the last 3 parts as Changbai Mountain 3.

It shows that the Jianzhou Jurchen area extends to the Yalu River in the east, Fushun City in the west, Huanren County in Liaoning County in the south, and the vast area of the Tumen River in the north.

In the 11th year of Wanli, in May 1583, Nurhachi led his troops to attack Nikan Wailan and conquer Tulun City, but Nurhachi Yuan Yonomina led his troops to attack Tulun City, but Nomina reneged on the promise.

Nikan Wailan also knew the news and left Tulun with his wife and fled to the city of Aban. Nurhachi conquered the city of Tulun and returned victorious. In August, Nurhachi attacked Deck City.

However, Nomina, the lord of Salhu City, who had previously betrayed the alliance, saw that Nikan Wailan had the Ming Dynasty as a backer and was more powerful, so he secretly leaked the news to Nikan Wailan, and Nikan Wailan fled to Erhun City near Fushun when he heard the news.

Nurhachi swooped into the air again, and then collected Nikanwailan's tribe and returned.

Soon after, Nomina, together with his brother Nai Kadayo, joined Nurhachi in attacking the city of Barda, and Nurhachi, knowing that the opportunity had come, made a feint of the covenant.

Before the battle, Nurhachi asked Nomina to attack first, but Mina refused. At this time, Nurhachi used a predetermined plan to easily get rid of Nomina.

In the twelfth year of Wanli, in the first month of 1584, Nurhachi launched an attack on Zhaojia City, where Li Dai was stationed, and won and captured Li Dai alive.

In the thirteenth year of Wanli, in February 1585, after Nurhachi won victories over the Sukesu Margin and Dong E, he pointed his sword at the Zhechen Division, the left neighbor of the Sukesu Tribe.

Nurhachi attacked the city of Zhechen Jiefan with 25 armored soldiers and 50 soldiers, but because the opponent was well prepared, Nurhachi did not gain anything.

When the division returned to Tailangang in the south of Jiefan, the lords of the four cities of Jiefan, Salhu, Dongjia, and Barda led 400 pursuers to arrive.

The generals of the defeated army in the battle of Mardun City, the lord of Jiefan City, Neshen and Bamuni, were the first to approach, and Nurhachi rode back to meet the enemy alone.

Neshin cut off Nurhachi's horsewhip, and Nurhachi returned to his horse and slashed Neshin in the back with a knife, splitting it in two, and then turned around and killed Bamuni with an arrow.

Seeing that the commander was killed, the pursuers stood aside.

After Nurhachi personally returned to the palace, he used the tactics of suspicious soldiers and his seven subordinates to hide their bodies, and only exposed their helmets as if they were ambushes.

The other party lost its commander, the army was unstable, and he was worried that there would be ambushes, so he did not dare to chase again.

In April, Nurhachi led another 50 Mianjia soldiers and 30 ironclad soldiers to conquer Zhechenbu, and on the way, he encountered 800 allied troops from five cities, including Jiefan.

Faced with an enemy army ten times their size, Nurhachi's five ancestors, Bao Lang'a's grandsons, Zaqin and Sanguli, took off their armor and handed it over to others, preparing to escape.

After Nurhachi angrily reprimanded the two, he and his brother Murhaqi, his close attendant Yan Bulu, and the four of them shot and killed more than 20 enemy soldiers.

Although the enemy army was numerous, they were afraid of the bravery of Nurhachi's side, and their morale was greatly weakened, and they fled one after another.

Nurhachi chased him to Jilin Cliff and won a great victory.

In the fourteenth year of Wanli, in 1586, Nurhachi conquered Erhun, and Nikan Wailan fled to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Nurhachi asked the Ming Border Officials to return Nikanwailan and put him to death.

In the fourteenth year of Wanli, in 1586, the city was built on the site of the "old camp of Jianzhou", the city was in the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, in 1621, after the Jin moved the capital to Liaoyang, it was called Foala, that is, the "old old city".

In the fifteenth year of Wanli, in 1587, Nurhachi attacked Zhechenbu Cottage again, killed the owner of the village, Altai, and sent Yidu to attack Barda City.

As far as the Hun River, the river could not be crossed due to the high tide, and the soldiers were also connected to each other by ropes, and the fish crossed it.

After crossing the river, Eyidu attacked the city of Barda at night, and the defenders were unprepared to rush into battle, and Eyidu led his soldiers to bravely climb the city.

Eyidu suffered more than 50 wounds in his body, but he still did not retreat, and finally conquered the city of Barda.

Eyidu was awarded the "Baturu" brave name for this battle.

Subsequently, Nurhachi led his troops to attack Dongcheng, and the city lord Zahai surrendered.

At this point, the Zhechen tribe was completely annexed by Nurhachi.

In the sixteenth year of Wanli, in September 1588, Suwan's minister Suoerguo, Dong'e minister He Heli, and Yargu's minister Huerhan led three military and civilian troops to join Nurhachi, which made it a great shock.

Nurhachi treated the leaders of the tribes who came to vote kindly, and took Fei Yingdong, the son of Solguo, as the first-class minister, married the eldest daughter to He Heli, and accepted Huerhan as his adopted son, and gave him the surname Jueluo.

Later, Fei Yingdong, He Heli, Hu Erhan and Nurhachi's fierce generals Eyidu and An Feiyangu were called the "Five Ministers" and became the mainstay of Nurhachi's regime.

Subsequently, Nurhachi fought again in Zhaojia City and beheaded the city lord Ninggu Qin Zhangjing.

In the same year, Nurhachi conquered the city of Wanyan (Wangjia) and eliminated the last opponent of the Jianzhou Jurchens, Wanyanbu.

After five years of campaigning, Nurhachi conquered five prefectures one after another.

From 1583 to 1593, it took ten years for Nurhachi to finally unify the Jurchens.

Therefore, whether it is the Ming Dynasty to solve the problem of Jiannu and North Korea, or Wei Bao to solve the problem of Jiannu and North Korea, it is the same, war is the distribution of resources.

When the Ming Dynasty was weak and starved all over the country, where did he have the resources to strangle Jiannu.

It's just that Wei Bao prefers that Jiannu will fight Liaodong instead of North Korea.

To fight Liaodong, the Ming court will contribute to the money, and to fight North Korea, all problems seem to become Wei Bao's problems alone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has worked hard, and it is tiring to rush to Jinan City for a meeting in such a short time." Wei Bao smiled at everyone.

There are more than 40 managers scattered in the main towns of Cangzhou, Hejian, Shandong, and Denglai, but in fact, there are only about a dozen money banks, and each money village has two or three people.

"It's not hard, the president has worked hard." The steward of Zhongqian Zhuang hurriedly said.

"It was supposed to be a meeting in Tianjin Wei, after all, the head of our Haiphong Qianzhuang is in Tianjin Wei, but for my convenience, it was placed in Jinan City." Wei Bao smiled: "Let's talk about any difficulties encountered in the tax reform?"

"President, business is not easy to do, all over the Jin businessmen are working with us, they have old brands and famous names, this is one of them, the main big households around the country are their related households. It is a big problem for Jin merchants to grab business with us, and the other is that the big households in various places intimidate the people, and do not let the people directly hand over the silver to our coastal defense money bank, the silver cannot be collected, and the Haiphong money bank will exist in name only! We can't go door-to-door to collect taxes and persecute the common people like the yamen everywhere. Song Yingxing, as the chief steward of Haiphong Qianzhuang, personally reported to Wei Bao.

"The chief steward is right, the most important thing is the tax silver, as long as the tax silver can be collected, our Haiphong Qianzhuang can be regarded as a complete foothold."

"They can't do anything about us, they are all behind the scenes"
