Chapter 40 [The Three Great Expeditions of the Ming Dynasty]
This made the Ming Ningxia Wei General Soldier only know that he was invincible and played the imperial court, Ming Shenzong immediately mobilized the Ming Datong General Army: Ma Gui, and let the Ming Xuanfu General Army: Li Rusong, temporarily serve as the Ningxia Wei General Soldier and use the Ming Jiangjiang Zhejiang Road Imperial History: Mei Guozhen, as the supervisor of the army to lead the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, Xuanfu Sanwei, Datong Mansion, Shanxi Chengxuan Political Division and Zhejiang Chengxuan Political Division, plus Guizhou Chengxuan Political Division and other places to encircle and suppress together.
Several Ming troops split up to attack the rebel checkpoints to paralyze the rebels, the Ming Datong general army smashed the Hetao battalion and pursued the rebel Tuwenxiu Department to Helan Mountain, in the Hetao Department expelled the Hetao Department to the Yuaner Dusi area, the main Ming army in the Ming Shaanxi Governor: Ye Mengxiong, under the command of the Ningxia Acropolis Pond.
At this time, the general soldier of Ming Datong proposed: "Your Excellency, I am afraid that we can't force the rebels to come out just by besieging the city?" Why not use the water of the Yellow River to flood the city and flood the rebels so that they will not be able to come to aid. ”
This plan was immediately adopted by the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, after the siege of ten days of the rebels in the city ran out of ammunition and food, resulting in internal coaxing, Ming Ningxia Wei Commander: Li Rusong, took the opportunity to lead the Liaodong Ming army to break through the city gate and rush in to kill the Bibai family to pacify the war, known as the history (Bibai Ningxia Wei Rebellion).
The general soldier of the Ming Xuanfu who had just pacified the Ningxia Wei War: Li Rusong, after returning to the court, it happened that the Azuchi Momoyama Shogunate Sekibai: Toyotomi Hideyoshi, sent an envoy to pretend to use the Li family Joseon to declare that he wanted to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty?
At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Nanlu Sailor was in the Nanyang region, and he had already changed the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Luzon Governorate, which were vassals of the Ming Empire, to the tributary Azuchi Momoyama Shogunate! Only the Eastern Route Army of the Shogunate was rejected by the King of the Shogunate of Seonjo Heseong, the Shogunate of the Joseon Dynasty, Li Hao, who refused to take the road and intercepted the Shogunate's envoy at Sanggyeong-do.
This opened the beginning of the war between Lee's Joseon and the Shogunate's Western Route Army, and the 160,000 Shogunate troops attacked in three ways and defeated the 200,000 troops of Lee's Eight Provinces of Korea in just two months! Only Yi Sunsin, the commander of Jeolla Province of the Joseon Dynasty, was left to resist the commander of the Shogunate Kumano Naval Army, Osumi Mamoru Okumi Mamoru at sea, and the Shogunate Kumano Naval Army Sado Mamoru Fujido Takatora, with 700 warships and 40,000 shogunate sailors.
As a result of Lee's Joseon Eight Provinces being occupied, Seven Provinces! Therefore, the shogunate army was stationed near Hanseongfu, Gyeonggi-do, and also captured the Joseon prince of the Lee family, Linhae-kun: Li Jue, and the sixth son of the king, Shun and Jun: Lee, because these two were the close relatives of the king of Seonjo-gun of Lee's Joseon, so they were treated favorably by the Japanese army of the shogunate, and they planned to threaten each other, and the king of Seonjo-gun of Lee's Joseon fled to the Uiju area of Pyongyang, Pyongan West Province.
At the same time, Lee's Joseon was based on the right of North Korea: Liu Chenglong, and the main ministers began to support the king's second son: Li Hui, in order to continue to resist the formation of the Japanese army (the division of the dynasty), the king of Seonjo of Lee Korea and the king of Shangning of Ryukyu successively reported to the Ming Empire to request the dispatch of troops to resist the Japanese, among which the king of Seonjo of Lee Korea also asked to attach the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, but was unanimously opposed by the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, the left squire of the Ming Army: Song Yingchang, suggested that His Majesty the Emperor first send the deputy general of Ming Liaodong: Zu Chengxun, Ming Liaodong guerrilla: Shi Ru, and first lead 5,000 Ming troops to resist under the leadership of Lee's Joseon Right Minister, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's First Army Settsu Mamoru: Konishi Yukinaga, and the Second Army Daimyo: Kato Kiyomasa, and the Third Army Counselor: Shimazu Yoshihiro.
Originally, the battle of the Ming army was very smooth, but due to the light enemy, 5,000 Ming troops were killed in Pyongyang Province one after another! After the news was transmitted back to the central court, Mingshenzong appointed the left servant of the Ming military department: Song Yingchang, who was the commander of Liaodong and the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty: Li Rusong, and other Ming generals led 50,000 Ming troops and 300 Dongchang Jinyi guards to Li Korea to support first.
This made the commander of the left guard of Ming Jianzhou, Tong Nurhachi, take this opportunity to enter Beijing for the second time to congratulate the great emperor, and also brought a lot of tribute to His Majesty the Emperor, he was deliberately shocked after learning the news of the invasion of the Shogunate Japanese army into Lee's Korea, and played Mingshenzong and said, "The minister begs His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven for permission, and the minister will take his own people to rush to the front line of the Li dynasty to exterminate these Japanese who endanger the imperial court." ”
This move won the trust of the Mingshenzong, but Tong Nurhachi was not a person from the Central Plains after all, and in order to prevent the Jianzhou Jurchen Sanwei power from expanding to the Li family's Korea, the king of Xuanzu County, the Li family's Joseon, also refused to let the Dongyu army come to support.
So Mingshenzong replied: "Aiqing is loyal and commendable, I am very pleased, but this battle is related to the majesty of my empire, Aiqing does not need to interfere!" In order to show his loyalty, Mingshenzong specially gave (crown clothes) and the title of (Dragon and Tiger General) to Tong Nurhachi, and the imperial court ordered the two places to survey Guizhou and Shu in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.
Among them, Mingbanzhou announced the consolation envoy: Yang Yinglong, also came to participate, but he went to Shu instead of Guizhou to be tried? This should be beheaded according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, but remembering that the shogunate Japanese army invaded Lee's Korea, so the imperial court urgently needed the generals and happened to be in charge of the Ming Bozhou Xuan Su asked for money to atone for his crimes, and claimed to lead troops to recruit the Japanese before he was allowed by the Ming God Sect, but the Ming Sichuan Governor: Wang Jiguang, insisted on strictly mentioning the survey and forcing the Ming Banzhou Xuan to disobey the order! In desperation, the imperial court ordered troops to be sent to recruit and suppress.
In the twenty-first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, in 1593, when the Ming army arrived at Lee's Korea, the Ming Liaodong general army: Li Rusong, sent the Dongchang Jinyi Guard to secretly reconnoiter the situation of the shogunate's Japanese army, and then ordered to attack the capital of Lee's Joseon (Pyongyang Province), defeated the iron artillery army of the shogunate Konishi Yukiro with the Liaodong iron cavalry and the fire gun, won (Pyongyang's great victory), and captured Fengjun, reversed the tide of the war, and then advanced to Lee's Korean royal city Gyeonggi Province Seoulfu.
However, when the Bihu Pavilion thirty miles away from the royal city was ambushed by the light enemy, the Ming army in Liaodong suffered heavy losses! also made the general soldier of Ming Liaodong seriously injured and almost killed!
At this time, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ming Imperial Army: Liu Wei, the Governor of the Ming Central Army, and the Governor of the Ming Army: Chen Lan, led by the Ming army had just arrived in Lee's Korea, and then cut off the grain route of the Shogunate Japanese army, so that the Shogunate Japanese army had to give up the plan of attacking the royal city of Hanseongfu, so as to retreat to Pusan to negotiate with the Ming army, in order to gain time to wait for the arrival of the rest of the shogunate army, after the Japanese army withdrew from Seoul Province, the king of Seonjo County of the Lee family of Korea welcomed back to the territory of the royal city to merge the division of the dynasty.
At the same time, the Ming military department is still in the book: Shi Xingli, I learned that the shogunate Japanese army intends to negotiate peace? However, the negotiations broke down when the shogunate put forward unreasonable demands such as the Datong River as the boundary, and the shogunate Japanese army also destroyed the Li family's Korean counties on a large scale and killed countless people, so it was rejected by the Ming Empire, but soon the shogunate Japanese army softened, and the plague was caused by the long journey of the Japanese army to grab food, and the corpses were not disposed of in time after the war, resulting in decomposition.
This made the Shogunate even more hopeful of peace, and it happened that both the Ming and the Ming wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so the Ming Army Shangshu had to agree to negotiate peace, and he found the market gangsters outside the imperial capital Forbidden City: Shen Weijing, who was a clever (flickering elder) who could speak well and was proficient in various Chinese.
It is the ideal candidate, so the Ming military department Shangshu sent Shen Weijing to act as a (general officer), and the first army of the Azuchi Momoyama shogunate, Higo Province feudal lord Settsumori: Konishi Yukicho, in the Longshan Meeting, first proposed by Konishi Yukiga, said: "Yamato: If we want to withdraw the army, it is very simple, as long as we agree to the six conditions we propose, first, we must marry the princess of Emperor Ming as the queen of Houyang Chengtian, second, we must let the great emperor and my shogunate develop exploration and trade, and third, the military attachés of the two countries must swear an alliance with each other and not to invade the seas. Fourthly, the royal city of the Lee dynasty, Gyeonggi-do, Pyongan East-West Province, Nyonganbuk-do, and Hwanghae-left and left provinces were returned to the Lee Joseon, and the other four provinces of Gangwon-do, Chungcheong-shou-so, Sangyeong-sang, and Jeolla were ceded to the shogunate, fifth, the Lee Joseon sent a prince to the shogunate as a hostage, the sixth, the two princes of the Seonjo-gun of the Lee Joseon dynasty and other Lee Joseon officials, and the seventh-Lee Joseon ministers swore that they would never betray the shogunate. ”
Who knows the matter: Shen Weijing, I don't want to directly agree to all the seven requirements of losing power and humiliating the country in one go! He only said to Governor Konishi, "Yamato: You must first withdraw your troops and send an envoy to my Ming Empire to make amends, and now Your Majesty will crown His Highness Bai as the king." Having said that, the Ming Tongshi said to the fellow Ming Hai Prefecture Wei generals: Xie Yongzin, Ming Hai Zhou Wei guerrilla: Xu Zheng, and others panicked that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had agreed to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and also ordered the withdrawal of all shogunate Japanese troops.
Afterwards, Governor Konishi immediately wrote to Toyotomi Hideyoshi to report: "Yamato: The envoy of the Ming Kingdom has agreed to the request made by the minister, and only needs to send the envoy to the Forbidden City, the imperial capital, with the Ming envoy, and let the Ming Emperor approve the implementation." Toyotomi Hideyoshi immediately agreed, and this reached the so-called (Longshan Agreement), which is actually a chicken and a duck! Shen Weijing used the Ming courtiers to hide from the Yamato language, while Konishi Yukinaga used Toyotomi Hideyoshi's lack of kanji to deceive him.
At this time, the governor of Ming Sichuan in the south: Wang Jiguang, was sending troops to suppress the Banzhou Propaganda Department to arrive at Loushan Pass, and he encountered the surrender of the Ming Bozhou Propaganda Envoy? made the Ming army hesitate, and the Banzhou army took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Ming army to secretly send troops to seize the pass and kill the Ming army! led to the defeat of the Ming army, more than half of the dead and wounded, and then the governor of Sichuan was dismissed.
At the same time, the commander of the left guard of the Ming Jianzhou made the Dragon and Tiger General: Tong Nurhachi, taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's transfer of troops, he used the slogan of the Ming Dragon and Tiger General to stabilize the Jurchen tribes, after all, he has changed his surname (Tong) Even if he sends an army to attack the Jurchen tribes, he will not be suspected by the imperial court, even if it is the Jurchen enemy, he can't guess who destroyed their tribe! Tong Nurhachi used this false name to lead his troops to the east to attack the Jurchen tribes in Changbai Mountain.
This made Haixi Jurchen Yehebe Dongcheng Baylor: Nala Nalimbulu, Xicheng Baylor: Nala Buzhai, especially dissatisfied with the Flying Pigeon Biography and contacted the Hada Jurchen Baylor: Nala Fierce Bone Polo, Ula Jurchen Baylor: Nala Mantai's brother: Nala Buzhantai, and the Huifa Jurchen Bayindari: Nala Baiyindari.
At the same time, it also united the Zhusheli Jurchen and Neyin Jurchens of the two Jurchen divisions of Changbai Mountain, and formed the three divisions of Horqin, Xibe, and Guaercha in southern Mongolia (nine coalition forces), with the Yehe Jurchen Department as the main command, a total of 30,000 people, divided into three roads and banners, and went straight to the city of Foala, the left guard of the Jurchen Zuowei in Jianzhou, preparing to launch an attack on the Jianzhou Jurchens.
