In November of the ninth year of Chenghua, Jingshi.

After the winter, the capital was wrapped in silver again, and the vigorous development of the year made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military see a thriving, powerful Ming Empire, at this time everyone believed that the Ming Empire was able to have such achievements in a short period of time, entirely because of the changes supported by Liu Juntao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and now the constitutional monarchy system of the Ming Dynasty has played a role.

At this time, Liu Juntao's prestige soared into the sky, and his prestige among the people was even higher, and Emperor Chenghua was not to be outdone.

For the subjects of the Ming Dynasty at this time, an emperor can accept the constitutional monarchy, can peacefully hand over most of the imperial power in his hands, and fully support the change of law in national politics, which is enough to show that Emperor Chenghua is a generation of Ming monarchs!

For a time, there was a saying among the people: The Ming Empire has been favored by God, so there is such a pair of wise ministers and gentlemen through the ages!

However, at this time, Liu Juntao did not have the heart to rejoice in this, nor did he have the heart to accompany Guo Muying and his two sons to prepare for the New Year, because a letter of information jointly confirmed by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Central Intelligence made Liu Juntao's heart stir: Liaodong Jianzhou Sanwei had an accident!

At this time, the commander of the three guards of Jianzhou was the same person, and that was the fifth ancestor of the wild boar Pinurhachi in later generations, Ai Xinjue Luo Dongshan!

This man is resourceful, good at judging the situation, and also has great ambitions, many years ago when the Wara army came to the city of Beijing, Aixinjue Luo Dongshan gathered soldiers and horses around Jianzhou Sanwei to plunder the Han people.

Then the Ming Empire and the Warats and the Tatars fought one after another, and sent troops to the Western Regions to fight fiercely for a long time, fighting with the Dutch at sea for several years.

Liu Juntao had already heard about this, and asked Liu Zi'an to pay attention to it.

Over the years, Liu Zi'an has successively collected a large amount of information about Aixinjue, Luo Dongshan and Jianzhou Sanwei, which is enough to prove this person's wolf ambition, Liu Zi'an has suggested to Liu Juntao several times to send troops to destroy Jianzhou Wei, but Liu Juntao refused.

Liu Juntao was full of hatred for Jianzhou Wei in his heart, but he had no intention of strangling Aixinjue, Luo Dongshan and Jianzhou Wei in the cradle, because Jianzhou Wei did not blatantly rebel before, and Liu Juntao sent troops namelessly.

At the same time, even if Liu Juntao forcibly sent troops to recruit and suppress, it could only be a blow to the soldiers and horses of Jianzhou Wei, and in time, Jianzhou Wei could still recover its vitality. Therefore, what Liu Juntao wants is for the Jianzhou Guards to make chaos, so that he can send troops to completely sweep away the Jianzhou Three Guards!

But that's years!

Liu Juntao clearly remembers that in the original history, because of the rebellion of the three guards of Jianzhou, Emperor Chenghua once sent troops three times after three years of Chenghua, basically destroying all the strength of the three guards of Jianzhou, known as the Chenghua Plough Court in history!

In history: After the Ming Middle Route Army entered the current Xinbin realm, it broke through the villages of Foala, Zhangdabina, Daiyana, Langjia, and Ranha, "burning their houses, killing and plundering their people", and many Jianzhou Jurchens fled into the mountains to hide. The Jianzhou Jurchens were defenseless and were suddenly attacked, and all parts scattered.

Moreover, because the Ming Dynasty had already arrested Dong Shan, who had entered Beijing to pay tribute, his uncle Li Manzhu was old and frail, and did not put up effective resistance in the face of the powerful Ming and Korean coalition forces, so that the Jianzhou Jurchens suffered unprecedented heavy losses. Li Manzhu and his eldest son Li Gunaha were captured and beheaded by the Korean army, and the blood stained the Suzi River and the Pozhu River, and the corpses of the Jurchens in Jianzhou were everywhere.

Zhao Fu, the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, said in the "Pingyi Fu Order" written afterwards: "When you see and flee, you cut your heart and break your brain, powder your bones and apply your ointment, kill if you are strong, and take prisoners of the old and childish, if the earth collapses and the fire is extinguished, it still disintegrates and the ice disappears, it is empty and the pig is its house, and its hole is empty and its nest is empty, and within ten days, the captivity is depressed."

After a month of encirclement and suppression, the Ming army and the Korean army built a total of four or five hundred villages, and the Jurchen cattle, horses, and domestic animals were all wiped out, and more than 1,000 Jurchen Aha (slaves) were released. After the war, the Ming Dynasty killed Dong Shan and others, and hundreds of Jurchens such as his brother Qin Yang were brave and brave, and they were invaded in Fujian and other provinces, leaving them in a foreign land forever.

Since then, Jianzhou Wei has been silent for more than a hundred years, and it was not until the Wanli period that it recovered!

But now the process of history has deviated from the original trajectory because of Liu Juntao's intervention, and at this time, in the ninth year of Chenghua, Jianzhou Sanwei began to move, several years later than the original history.

However, the result is still the same, and because of Liu Juntao's intervention, the fate of Jianzhou Sanwei will only be more miserable than in the original history!

"The commander of Jianzhou Wei made Aixin Jueluo Dongshan secretly expand soldiers and horses, build armor, smuggle war horses from the grassland, and his subordinates secretly purchased artillery, firearms, and ...... through black-hearted merchants."

"At present, there are about 25,000 guards and horses in Jianzhou, and another 30,000 slave troops, all of whom are fully armored and elite, and their troops have more than 5,000 elite bird gunners and are equipped with more than 30 artillery pieces of various types......"

"The three guards of Jianzhou basically attacked once every ten days, looting people and looting villages near the left side of the border wall, and Liaodong lost more than 10,000 Dingkou in a year......"

Liu Juntao looked at the information and decided to launch a large-scale attack on the three guards of Jianzhou.

However, the three guards of Jianzhou were different from the enemies faced by the Ming army in the past, such as the Warat Department, the Tatar Department, and the Western Regions tribes, all of which were nomads in the traditional sense, and they were basically strong iron cavalry armies with strong bows and fast horses, and there were no decent firearms.

Although the Dutch had sharp firearms, their basically powerful forces were at sea, and once they entered the land war, they were under the control of the Ming army. Moreover, the Dutch were far away from their homeland, which led to a weak follow-up and it was difficult to confront the Ming army for a long time, so the victory of the Ming army was also expected.

At this time, the Jianzhou Sanwei is different from the previous enemy, one is because the Jianzhou Sanwei belongs to the Ming army, to put it bluntly, the army under the command of Aixin Jueluo Dongshan is nominally part of the Ming army, even if it is a war, it is an internal war of the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, at this time, the Jianzhou guards and horses had already enjoyed the dividends of the rapid development of the Ming Empire, and through various means, their soldiers and horses began to be firearmed. At this time, the Jianzhou guards and horses were equivalent to the state before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs in later generations: a strong army mixed with hot soldiers ~ weapons and cold weapons!

This attack on Jianzhou Sanwei will definitely have opposition voices in the DPRK and China, and Liu Juntao can expect it.

Therefore, Liu Juntao needs to find an "alliance" in the DPRK now, obtain the consensus of the DPRK and China in a short period of time, and then quickly mobilize troops and horses to fight in Liaodong!

The first person Liu Juntao thought of was Wang Zhi, the commander of the West Factory!

In the original history, Chenghua Plough Court had Wang Zhi's great contributions, and Wang Zhi himself was also a tough main battle faction, and even went to Jianzhou Wei with the army to command the battle.

At this time, Liu Juntao found Wang Zhi, handed over the information he had gotten, and said: "Please look at the factory, this Jianzhou Sanwei thief is not small, the court must deal with it as soon as possible, and must not delay the decision, so as not to make the thief bigger!" ”

After reading it, Wang Zhi was also angry and said, "Ge Lao! What else needs to be said about this? The meaning of the miscellaneous family is that the imperial court immediately sent troops to completely eradicate these Tartars, leaving no trouble! ”

Liu Juntao said: "I'm afraid that there will be people in the DPRK and China who will oppose it, after all, the Jianzhou Sanwei is also a court system, and there will definitely be people in the DPRK who advocate appeasement." ”

"Fund?"

Wang Zhi snorted coldly and said: "There is nothing to appease these Tartars, don't worry, those pedantic people in the court and the middle of the court will be dealt with by the miscellaneous family, and the elder can just mobilize troops and horses to prepare for conscription!" ”

"That's great!"

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Then there is a labor factory!" ”

Wang Zhi also said with a smile: "Elder Ge doesn't have to be so polite, the miscellaneous family has such a little ability." Now that the major affairs of the court have to be presided over by the cabinet elders, when the army is mobilized, how can the cabinet elders let some pedantic ministers in the court stumble? ”

After sending Wang Zhi away, Liu Juntao found Xiang Qun, the secretary of the military department, to discuss with him the specific matters of sending troops to Liaodong and Dangping Jianzhou Sanwei.

At the same time, Aixinjue Luo Dongshan, who was far away in Jianzhou Zuowei in eastern Liaodong, was also busy.

Now Jianzhou Wei can be said to be strong and strong, and the situation that Liu Juntao received is only a part of the troops under the command of Aixinjue Luo Dongshan, not all the troops.

Aixin Jueluo Dongshan gathered 20,000 heavy armored infantry, 8,000 birds, 10,000 heavy armored iron cavalry, and 50 artillery pieces of various kinds, which were the main forces of his troops.

In addition to these main forces of soldiers and horses, Aixinjue Luo Dongshan also selected 40,000 slave troops from the captive Han people and the Hu tribes from all over Liaodong!

Seven or eighty thousand elite troops, plus more than 100,000 troops of Jianzhou Sanwei, Aixin Jueluo Dongshan can be described as strong, such a force is not much better than the Warat Department and the Tatar Department back then, after all, firearms have begun to be popularized, and the whole army has benefited from the sharp increase in steel production in the Ming Empire, and can afford to equip a full set of armor.

With such a team of soldiers and horses, Aixinjue Luo Dongshan's ambition has also increased dramatically, wanting to infiltrate the hinterland of Liaodong and test the reaction and bottom line of the Ming Empire.

But Aixinjue Luo Dongshan was also very worried in his heart, after all, the powerful strength of the Ming Empire was there, and anyone who saw it was afraid in their hearts.

Therefore, Aixin Jueluo Dongshan formulated a long-term plan, that is, to seize land and population through continuous encroachment and temptation, and constantly test the edge of the bottom line that the Ming Empire can tolerate, and always maintain the situation of fighting but not breaking, so as to achieve the purpose of weakening the Ming Empire and strengthening its own strength.

If Liu Juntao could know this idea of Aixinjue Luo Dongshan, he would definitely shout badly, this is simply the advance version of the strategy of the wild boar Pinurhachi in later generations!

However, the Ming Empire at this time is no longer the late Ming Dynasty of later generations, and the national strength and development speed of the Ming Empire at this time have far exceeded the imagination of Aixinjue Luo Dongshan, which makes the result can only be one: exterminated!
